Ilovesaintmark, you shouldnt use the abbreviation GLM, it was done on purpose so that everyone would be forced to say "God loves me" :P

I was actually thinking of something right now. Is it really God's will that bleeding women/people shouldn't approach His Body and Blood? The woman who was suffering from bloodloss for many years came to touch Christ and he didn't reject her. Infact…

I understand that not taking communion once every few weeks is not an issue. That's not really the reason why i'm interested in this subject. It's more the question whether it's the teaching of the Orthodox Church that we abstain from communion due …

[quote author=Hos Erof link=topic=9640.msg118685#msg118685 date=1282953552] I came across an interesting piece of literature from the teachings of the Apostles concerning this topic! I hope Fr Peter can comment on it, whether this is our teaching, a…

My source is written on top of the quote, it's from the Constitutions of the Apostles, book VI, section V. Here's the link: http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/anf07.ix.vii.v.html

[quote author=mabsoota link=topic=9640.msg118671#msg118671 date=1282923356] but taking communion while bleeding is not allowed coz it's like taking the Holy Body and Blood and it then coming out of you. [/quote] Are you actually serious about this?

I thought Amsterdam was the gay capital of the world :P

Baptism is more than just forgiveness of sin. It's is also a new birth and being adopted as a child of God. So yes, we baptise children as not to deprive them of this awesome grace, a start of restoring what was lost in Paradise, to be renewed and m…

Here are some cool bible verses! I really like the last one :D But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.(Ies 40:31) …

Translation: taken from the hymns library Feasts => Saints Feasts => General Glorification (Tamgeed of St.Mary) Come all you nations, to see the archangel, proclaiming: Hail to you O Mary, you have found grace, the Lord is with you. Come a…

Take practical steps (besides praying and spiritual counselling etc): -if you feel tempted, go sit with members of ur house instead of sneaking out to go on a computer. -Install programs to block these sites, choose a very difficult password with n…

Thanks Fr Peter for these words of wisdom. They are of much comfort. I think this is one of the biggest struggle young adults and teens face.

I agree, this is disgusting and does more harm than good. Even if our faith has been / still is being insulted by other religions, we are commanded not to repay evil by evil. This is not christianity, period.
-
It differs for everyone but in general it is adviced to start with the gospels and the epistles since they cover the life of Christ and the general Christian teaching. Like said before, seek the council of ur FOC.

Matt 19:14 Let the children come to me, do not stop them, because the kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these.

I never knew an alexandrian tradition ever mentioned a physical resurrection of St Mary, or did i misread what St Theodosius wrote..can someone please explain? I always assumed her dead body was caught up into paradise untill the day of the general …

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=9449.msg116456#msg116456 date=1279048074] Ah. It wasn't clear to me at all that we were talking about spoiled children and un-interested parents. This is surely a matter for the priest to address with the pa…

There's a lot of meanings behind the use of bread and wine. One of them being that both bread and wine are made out of a huge number of grain/grapes. Yet they are all united into one bread/cup. In the same way we as a large number of congregation ar…

For most coptic hymns u'll need a mi-quarter tone and sometimes also a si-quarter tone. These you will not find on a regular piano, since the black keys are half tones, not quarters. U'll need an oriental keyboard or instruments that are not limited…

H.H. was asked the same question before and he confirmed that Judas did not partake. I asked several bishops before and they confirmed the same. This always confused me because of the same sermon by St John that we read on Holy Thursday. I actually…

What Ibrahim Ayad recorded in greek/coptic is not a translation of the arabic parts, but they are composed of parts of evlogimenos and the standard coptic response. Are you looking for the translation of the original arabic txt (el galis fawk etc)? …
