  • that is just amazing, created by his own words, and blessed by his visit when he himself, the creator, came down and walked the earth.
  • will that actually do anything? I mean, if a person dies and goes to hades, doesnt that mean at the end of the world he will go to hell? Or is there a chance that if the priest prays for him God will take him from hades to paradise?
  • [quote author=Hisservant link=topic=7402.msg97976#msg97976 date=1228568880] I'm not sure if at that point there was a rank of clergy, so at that time he wouldn't refer to clergy if the rank doesnt exist. [/quote] Yeah thats what I mean, like i und…

  • Im trying to explain this to a guy as we speak, but he jsut keep saying "But what does the Word of God SAY? 1Cr 11:4 EVERY MAN praying or prophesying, having [his] head covered, DISHONOURETH HIS HEAD. Does EVERY MAN praying or prophesying, havin…
  • i never heard of it being a sin before taking communion, you would think it was the opposite as you are supose to go to Church dressed well for the Lord, no jeans and such, and you are supose to be clean. Im not sure if that no showerin before commu…
  • [quote author=Unworthy1 link=topic=7346.msg97422#msg97422 date=1227209024] Jesus Christ said that he who is given much is required much, and vice versa applies. So we being born in the Orthodox Church are required to partake in all the sacraments be…
  • I dont really understand the quote "however: should you, being Orthodox and possessing the Truth in its fullness, betray Orthodoxy, and enter a different faith, you will lose your soul forever." Does this mean if you were orthodox and became protes…

  • I have to agree with binC, i dont know what it is, but i do love protestant and catholic songs, but for some reason i HATE singing them during the liturgy. I really dont know why, i feel like when we sing songs like that in the church we are persona…

  • I think that to say whether or not their eucharist is the true Body of Christ is not up to any of us. No one can look at the bread we have and the bread they have and say This one is the Body and the other one isnt. God performs this mystery as a MY…
  • I dont know, its kind of hard to say, when you compare our Liturgy to their mass it just seems like we are soo focused on the Body and Blood, and they arent nearly as focused as we are. We choose the best bread out of many breads, we smell to see if…
  • Think of it this way, you werent born a Christian, but God himself picked you out of the millions of muslims to come serve him. That must have meant he saw something special inside you and wanted you in his family.
  • Prayer is not boring, the greatest things happen when you pray, and the devil cannot fight against your prayer, because when you pray the Lord fights for you. So the only thing satan can do is convince you not to pray, or to pray a meaningless repit…
  • Does anyone else have any opinions at all? Or anyone have a sermon on this or anything?

  • let me just clarify one thing, when we say God is punishing we mean he is ALLOWING certain bad things to happen to you, but it is not him who is actually doing the bad things. Does everyone agree with this?
