  • Hey guys... I found a website that goes into a lot of detail (it's from an online encyclopedia)...if anyone wants to read it... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormons hope i helped in some way... …
  • true... and btw, Age of Empires is the best all time game, i don't care wat anyone thinks (just to let u noe)
  • just wanted to point out something... in a book by Fr. Tadros Y. Malaty concerning youth, he wrote that so many young teenagers and such advise each other on topics such as love and sex, when those teenagers have no idea about wat they're talking a…
  • that sounds about right... mostly, i choose not to watch star wars largely due to the fact that their characters are far too imagined...but other than that, it's the spiritual aspect it tries to convey (and why everyone is flocking to theatres to w…
  • first off, i wanna say that i have NO interest in star wars watsoever...or even any of the other 'star' stuff (star trek, etc.) This movie has been known to tackle spiritual issues though. A friend of mine told me once that the author of Star Wars …
  • it's obvious what you have to do!! 1) Tell her not to call...she's only asking for a hard time 2) If u think she's taking advantage of you, simply say 'no!' 3) Try to direct ur friend into ur point of view...God will h…
  • i'm pretty sure u can take communion in the Syrian church (btw, is there a difference between the SYRIAN orthodox church and the SYRIAC orthodox church? so many people use both terms, and i'm confused...) Cheers …
  • I think I saw and heard this story before... ...to those who want to see it, it's available on the coptichymns.net website...here's the link: www.coptichymns.net/Coptic_Photos.html It shouldn't be hard to find the picture from there (look under t…
  • hello, just thought i should put my two cents into this... many ppl think that homosexuality is a defect in the brain or something, but it's not. Many medical tests have been conducted, and it is mostly a psychological effect. This is something th…
  • he he... u cant exactly plan what u want, can u? it just sort of happens. I hear a lot of teachers who said they never planned to become teachers, but here they were teaching and not making much money and stressed to the point of collapse (as egypt…
  • Here's how i look at it... in regards to purity, monks DO have more purity because they don't necessarily have to give attention to ppl around them. Their entire lives depend on God: their food, their sleep, and obviously their prayers. married p…
  • Very nice story... Question: If you had a choice between the two, which one would be best to follow? another thing: how can u tell if u truly desire a monastic life, or if u only want to be there for the praise that you would get? (thinking back t…
  • Let us thank God that He has helped our catholic brothers in choosing the next pope. May Pope Benedict XVI's papacy be blessed and may he work with christians worldwide to unite! Peace
  • That's right... It's what's known as "puppy love". Some people give in to these feelings, but find that they can't stand the person they "fell in love with" at first sight. Peace
  • Can somebody just fill me in...what's papal Infallabity? And can someone fill me in on how H.H. has a father of confession as well? It sounds like it makes sense, but i just wanna know how it works. Thanks!
  • hey beshoyrm, Trust me, if i had it i would have given it to you on this very post... But I also need it...sorry! Sinful Servant (H…
  • just wanted to make a quick note, before we change topics... my FOC always told me to do your best to avoid temptation, don't go towards it when you see it. If it's physical temptation, do your best to obstruct your view of it. Keep your mind on so…
  • Hi... First of all, you seem new. So welcome! Interesting topic...to be honest, i have thoughts about what could happen to me in the future, but then i realize that it probably won't. I know God has a plan for me, and that His plan wil…
  • u noe, i always thought it was your soul escaping...i don't actually believe that, but that's why i thought ppl said it... I only say it to my brothers, parents, sometimes my peers...but even when i say it to my peers, it feels weird.. …
  • btw, for all those from mississauga, on...I USED TO GO TO THAT CHURCH!!! some ppl might not know me, but i left back in august 2003. I come visit every once in a while, maybe i'll c u guys sometime (i'm coming for easter...yay!)
  • I seen something very similar to that on another website... I keep thinking about this: would it be wrong if Copts, in general, showed a small uprising to these persecutions? just wondering... [move]Blessed is Egypt, Land of the Copts and Altar t…
  • There are so many reasons why you can read about history, whether it is your own culture's history or other culture's history. If you're reading up on your own cultural history, you will see how people of your own culture, religion, etc. were faced…
  • Right on! that's a very good explanation. It's funny, I had someone who asked me that same question a few days ago...I wasn't really sure how to answer him, but now I know how...thanx u guys!
  • Makes you doubt the phrase "the world won't end with a boom, but with a whimper'! To be honest, I fear nothing with God. What I do fear is that I might not be close enough to God, and that I may have done too much wrong to be so far away from Him. …
  • You never know what these events ur experiencing now could do to your future. I hope i'm not too late in replying to this topic, but if i am...read up! this might help u in times of despair...it has certainly helped me. Consider what you want to b…
  • "Blessed are those who have seen without believing, for they shall receive the kingdom of heaven" This is what we should keep in mind when thinking about that subject. You also have to remember that that same verse has also made us look beyond phys…
  • Just remember that you have to justify your choice: that priest has to consider whether he will be able to stick with the choice he has made, or whether he will back out after a while. That's just not faith then...it's an unwilling conscience.
  • Hey... welcome to this site...i was new here a while ago, and i know i loved it here right away (btw, i'm from Canada too...nice to have u here!) and trust me, u don't wanna know where i'm from...we don't even have an orthodox church here (…
  • I think the church doesn't oppose to this... I mean, our church PRAYS for the union of all christians, so why would this be wrong? i'm still not sure, but i think it's alright...
