i have a very close friend, whom i love more than a friend.
we only talk on the phone, we used to see each other but because of geographical reasons, cannot anymore (i thought this was God's will)
but every once in a while, i drag her down with me (whether it is on the phone or in person)
ie. let's say we start talking and then we talk about people, so this conversation turned into gossip >> by the way, this is not the problem (just using it for an example)
it is always my fault, i feel so heavy, so burdened and i wish to make things light on both of us, it shows me how much i don't love her since i cause this great trouble
we keep trying to work it out so it doesn't happen again and again (but i feel like it never works)

1) i want to get out of this? i don't want to drag her down with me anymore (i'm not sure if i should stop talking to her, even though i don't want to do that)

2) i keep remembering that verse: it talks about causing God's children to sin,
i just feel like i have caused one of God's children to sin and i feel like i'm going to hell, but i don't want to... i'm scared

3) how do you know if you love God more than anyone? what happens if i'm not sure??

thank you
any and every response is appreciated

i've never seen any coptic person do this, so i'm not sure about it. it seems a bit unorthodox, but i don't think there's anything wrong with it. what do you think? i have a good speaking voice.

also, let me know if i need to get some kind of liscense for this

Im SO curious about this subject, and what happens. Its been really on my mind. Let's suppose you have a case of siamese twins where there are 2 heads and 1 body. So, that's two independent heads/minds, and one body.

What happens in the following situations:

a) That they want to get baptised? Does abouna baptise them once or twice?
b) What if ONE of them only wants to get baptised, but NOT the other?? WHat happens??  The person who does not want to get baptised will still need her body immersed in the water.

Thanks

I've noticed recently that I'm lacking something pretty big in my (feeble) spiritual life; the ability to contemplate on the words of the Bible! I find that when I read I tend to take things at face value and I tend not to be able to personally dig deeper into the meanings of the words. I've been given advice on how to deal with this before, such as taking only a few verses at a time and spending more time on them...but I don't seem to be able to hear God's voice. Maybe I'm being too impatient? I don't know, but I'd really like to hear any suggestions from anyone!

Keep me in your prayers,

My main question is, why can't I at least get to know her? We will both be applying for colleges soon, what if the opportunity just fades away? What if she and I go to different colleges? What if she eventually meets someone else?

I have been praying a lot about this and I think God has been trying to tell me something...and I think it’s leaning to talking to her.

Please tell me your opinions on this, I would really appreciate it.]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/7096/i-am-a-new-orthodox-and-i-m-worried Fri, 05 Sep 2008 09:56:48 +0000 7096@/community/discussions
I was baptised in Coptic Orthodox church in Holland a few weeks ago. Last week I married in church. I'm very happy to be baptised and to be a part of the orthodox church and believe, but I am very worried that I never will become a good christian.

I have the feeling that I have to confess much too often. Right now I want to confess because I did something very bad and stupid yesterday. But I am afraid of what our priest might think of me, when I come to confess again. I feel so weak and bad and I just can't seem to do anything right. And I am afraid that one day I will ruin it all and God will say I've had enough with you, and it will be too late for me. I forget about God so often and just live my life without thinking of Him and just say my prayers automatically, or not at all. I want to feel love for God but most of the time I just don't, I only think of myself.

I have been raised in a calvinistic protestant church, where people believe out of fear instead of love, maybe it's because of my background that I am so afraid and worried.

What can I do to have more faith, love, and trust in God? Please pray for me and my weakness.

One of my close friends is Greek Orthodox. Unfortunately, he dosen't attend church as one parent refuses the idea of church totally and he only goes on New Year's and Christmas. he wanted to come to the Coptic orthodox church to see it and to revive his spiritual life. I invited him to an excursion at the church, he asked his mum and she refused. Her reason is that he is Greek Orthodox and i'm coptic orthoodx, she is afraid that he will drift from his home church. I wrote to her saying, that the Coptic Pope and the Greek Pope in Egypt have signed an agreement of the ONE faith and have allowed inter-marriages, which proves that we are essentialy the same. She was convinced, but at the last minute she changed her mind. This friend is eager to come to the church, but his mother won't allow him.

Is there any evidence that i can prove to her that we are the same, but diffrent families?
Is there evidence that we are of the same faith, and we are very similiar?
What can i do to bring him to church?

I ask that if Orthodx11 can help me, and any other Greek orthodox person can help me, It will be appreciated.

Thank you for your help,

pray for my weakness,
