  • Unworthy1 I was just as skeptical at first but the servant isn't much older than 40, and hes a veryy well respected servant in our church so I doubt I was misinformed.  Just like Father Peter said the act of smoking in itself isn't the sin, but lett…
  • I dont think its that black and white imikhail.  Yes smoking is clearly bad for you, but it isn't something thats actually prohibited by the church.  A servant in my church was telling me recently how in his lifetime priests even used to be smokers …
  • I actually wouldnt doubt that it might be a demon.  Think about it, the child goes into sudden shock for 20 minutes, extrememly sick and a fever that wont go down by any means according to the mother.  Sounds like for those 20 minutes he is overcome…
  • does anyone know??
  • wow this is funny because we actually studied meditation and stuff recently in my world literature class.  I don't really see anything wrong with meditation because it is just a means of cleansing yourself of unuseful thoughts.  But one way of medit…
  • heres the link with the phone number and some other information to add you to the mailing list http://www.stantonymonastery.org/contact.asp now does anyone  know where i can download that cd? lol
  • i think u just have to be added to their mailing list and they send u this stuff and like movies and magazines, im not sure how exactly, ask your priest or try to get in contact with the monastery through email or something. 
  • ya i heard about that, congrats to westside on their new preist, but anyways GOOOO BERGENNNNNN, lol bergen 1 Highschool got 3rd place and bergen 2 college got 3rd also.  Unfortunately we lost by 3 points when we were taken out by philly  :-\, oh wel…
  • That's quit impressive doubting thomas, but the bible says "everything is lawful for me, but not everything is beneficial for me"  Drinking in it self is lawful for us as chrisitians, however, will it really benefit you?  I mean just because one dri…
  • i have a few favorites but my top is probably pope peter seal of the martyrs (for obvious reasons lol).  Ya if anyone wants to read his story i can send it to you, its a really great story.

  • here are some of my favorites: "He himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses" (isaiah 53:4) “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never d…
  • oh ya and as orthodox 11 said we do have many missions aroudn the world, in the US, in Hawaii, in Fiji, in Africa, etc etc, just theyre not as....outspoken.... as the other missionaries of other denominations who force their ideas in someones face, …
  • i was actually at a youth convention last year, and the topic of the discussions for that yeaar was orthodoxy, with sermons liek what is orthodoxy, livign orthodoxy, etc and the last one was preaching orthodoxy.  Just as orthodox 11 said, all the bi…
  • st peter seal of the martyrs is the best, i mean im onnnly named after the guy, i think he would be my favorite saint, lol.  ya he has a really great story that i recommend you all to hear.
  • to answer abkarino22's question, are they palm sunday, easter, and thomas sunday? might be wrong, thomas sunday isnt really a feast of the lord is it? lol
  • no actualy kerestina it was pope peter seal of the martyrs.  But it was a good try!
  • Good questions kerestina well... 1. the first angel mentioned in the bible is Jophiel who is one of the cherubim. 2. im not sure but i think it might have been 2 leaders of the asyrian empire or something liek that.
  • lol keep looking! Also another hint is that he was martyred, so that was included in his title after he died. Hope that helps -peter
  • i got a good saint question for you guys, which pope of alexandria was the one who when he was goign to baptize 2 babies the water turned to stone everytime.  He later found out that their mother thought they were going to die on the ship there, so …
  • Aw i didnt even get one fully right, lol. Anyways, by price in number three do you mean how much judas got from the jews for leading them to jesus?
  • 1. 7? michael, gabriel, raphael, sorial, sedakiel, serathiel, and ananiel (sorry about the spelling, lol) 2. i dont know at all 3. 70 peices of silver 4. uh there were alot, lol locusts was one i know that.
  • well about saint cyril, he never denied christ's humanity, in turn he said that we was full human, but at the same time he was fully divine, perfect in his divinity and perfect in  his humanity, not having one compensate for the other.  As was said …
  • Singing hymns is considerd one of the highest forms of praise.  Just as David the prophet says in the psalms a myriad of times "praise the lord with a joyful song".  So hymnology was actually originated way before chrisitainty as even the jews obvio…

  • ya well i thought it was a great idea, even though i never really got the chance to go to any except the one when we had anba david during kiahk, and it was held at our church that month.  But washington? thats kinda far, atleast for me, but the iss…
