No one knows where they are going, but I am sure that through God's mercy, if I continue stuggling as I am right now then I will go to heaven. If I keep fighting satan then God will grant me to be in his kingdom. Not all orthodox christians are goin…

Examining their love for each other whether its true love or sporadic. Then seek the counsel of an experienced priest that knows the spiritual level of both of the couple and praying a lot about it. I believe that in any decision we make, if its god…

I had the same problem before, I used to confess to the abouna that I am serving with in the same church and it didnt feel right to tell him about all my secrets and I didnt benefit much from confession. The best thing I did is went to another pries…

I agree, thanks for making it clear Pray for me

I read this story recently, dont know how much it relates but I hope it helps. "A guy goes to the barber to get a haircut and they are good friends, the barber tells him that I dont think God exists, look at all the evil in the world, disasters and …

[quote author=Hailemikael link=topic=4271.msg103920#msg103920 date=1244491958] What about this? How many people in the world are not Orthodox? Billions. All of them are going to hell? That seems to be the reallity. If we really have free will…

He wouldnt be loving if he only created the people that would go to heaven, that would be called slavery because he created certain people and chose their life and their eternal life for them. It is like a teacher who only allows smart kids in her c…

That is true, lusting/wanting anything is considered a sin. If I want a banana because I have not had one for a while and I really crave for it then I can not control my body and I sinned. Or craving anything else that matters. I believe that the he…

Thank you mabsoota for your reply, I completely agree with it. I sometimes feel limited when something like this happens; other people and me want to help but we cant. I believe that the word of god should reach everyone especially the lost sheep. T…

If you cant figure out what to tell him, pray about it and talk to your father of confession and see what he thinks. Maybe he will advice you not to open this discussion with the doctor, he might give you wisdom in how to deal with it or he might kn…

I agree with QT, wouldnt hiding your emotions and feelings make you a "hypocrit" in some ways. if you are angry or depressed but you fool those around you with a smile or pretending to be happy. I am asking this question in general; even though from…

I agree with everything that was posted and I completely believe that as servants we should look for those who need to be served not those who are in no need. But what would you tell your parents or elders when they tell you that people talk about y…

Prayers of the saints be with you :) sorry, we are in the fifty days so we cant do metanias, but we will pray for you Goodluck

Sometimes, but not always, it could be all in your head, your brain subconsciously got used to doing that. So you can try to force yourself not to do so and you will see that after sometime you will stop doing it. It could also be from satan to dist…

Lets talk about unmarriend young people, is it ok for two mature people to treat each other as best friends or brother and sister? another question on the side,if two good friends have known each other for years but one of them starts to have feelin…

I have to disagree, being an orthodox christian and believing in macro evolution does not go hand in hand. As orthodox christians we believe in micro evolution but not macro.

That is not what I meant, I am saying in this case that you wouldnt lose your eternal life. What I am trying to ask is how to deal with such a situation in which only your repuation might be put on the line.

He was in California, I believe, for two weeks as he was giving some lectures and attending a family retreat at St John's church in west covina. But I think he went back already

Be strong and ask for divine help For me, whenever I am tempted with such thoughts, as a biologist, I contemplate on the many wonders and complexity of the human body and it gives me great comfort knowing that only one infinite God created this with…

I asked my father of confession recently about drinking alcohol and he advised me saying that I should not drink alcohol by myself or without any reason i.e. I decide that I need a beer or so. He said that occasional drinking in family occasions/fea…

Welcome :)

Which recording did you listen to? I might have some other recordings (some for vespers, tasbeha and liturgy)

I am glad you understand the importance of stopping that sin before marriage, its really important to do so. Many people think that once they get married they wont be tempted with the lust of the flesh, but to be honest it gets worse. It is very im…

A great saying about prayer, I dont remember who said it, is "If a person believes that he can achieve repentance without prayer is indeed deceived by the devils" Its a great saying that shows the importance of prayer

No they dont have that option yet If you really want to get a cross, any tattoo place can do that for you and you choose the cross that you like

What language? I might have a PDF file for both if you need them
