  • nothing in the article mentions they had marital problems, so let's not jump to conclusions. also, nothing in the article says it was a murder-suicide. from what i read, each had multiple wounds, i doubt someone will stab themselves more than once a…
  • i believe the topic of hades vs hell and heaven vs paradise has been discussed somewhere else in the forum, but I'll put in my 2 cents: when a person dies they either go to hades (bad) or paradise (good). after judgment day we either go to hell (ve…
  • Deacon- St. Stephen Prince- do you mean Joseph from the old testament? King- way too many in the bible to just name one, but the most popular is king David
  • I agree with everything that's been said, but I think if you still need someone to hear you out and help you figure things out, maybe seeing a psychologist wouldn't be too bad. They'll listen without judging, and they can try to offer some insight. …
  • I think the first thing the priests will talk to you about is getting married to your partner of 9 years. I don't know if they can baptize you if you're not married. the children, however, maybe can be baptized without a marriage......I would talk t…

  • so...i'm exactly where I started...all of you make valid points but they contradict eachother. I still don't know what to do
  • what does technology have anything to do with spirituality?
  • how about Alleluia? its one word but its full of praise God bless!
  • 1John 5:1-13 ;)
  • Hi Godislove, I was just reading this verse this morning and had to think about it for a few minutes. From what I understood, water is used to symbolize the Holy Spirit in the gospel sometimes (for example: baptism is in water and it is where we rec…
  • The verse takes on a nice meaning in the NLT and CEV translations: (CEV) I am glad that I can suffer for you. I am pleased also that in my own body I can continue [c] the suffering of Christ for his body, the church. (NLT)[ I am glad when I suffer…
  • [quote author=user00 link=topic=7867.msg102164#msg102164 date=1240432888] For me personally, I like the US better for this reason. The priest and the bishop know my name, my family, and they are much more accessible to us. There is more bonding be…
  • I think each person (its the best word I have to use...pardon my ignorance) of the Holy Trinity has a specific job....even though they are one God in essence, they play different roles. For example, God the Father is the creator, God the Son is the …
  • yupp....here is the link ;) http://www.orthodoxsermons.org/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=109&Itemid=26
  • There is a great series by Father Anthony Messeh on who the Holy Spirit is and how He acts in our lives. The sermons are on orthodoxsermons.org.....if there is a way for you to download them and even listen to them on the plane ride, Im sure you'll …
  • I guess I just had a hard time when it was said earlier that Christ, to whom all the glory, was afraid of becoming sin and thats why he was praying to the Father I know that Christ carried our sins on the cross, therefore we were saved.....but maybe…
  • I wonder if Father Peter can help us with this subject?!?
  • [quote author=Unworthy1 link=topic=7730.msg101766#msg101766 date=1239576328] As a response to you first question a) If Christ came to die to give us eternal life, why did He pray that this be taken away from Him? God is the Holy of Holies, He is …
  • Actually, I've lived in Egypt and in the U.S. and I do think that the church in Egypt is more spiritual. I don't think its just persecutions that make the church what it is in Egypt, I think its more of the type of environment and people's attitudes…
  • I guess I'll be the first to say it: Welcome to tasbeha.org! please keep my weakness in your prayers as well.
  • the reason i learned was that it was to ask God to keep a guard over your mouth so that you're tongue won't slip up and sin. it has to do with the verse that says "it is not that which enters the mouth that defiles a man, but that which comes out de…
  • i dont think i quite understand your question....do you mean like "do the angels celebrate with us during times of feasts?" or did you mean something else?
  • actually, i've always wondered the same thing. many of the men in my church who read during pascha are not deacons, and yet they read..... i would love to know if there is a reason for this
  • I think you may have mis-interperted. He said to the other monks that he was told by one of the elder monks many years ago that one who is present in the monsatery will die by the sword, and St. Moses the black knew the elder monk was talking about …
  • Saint Moses the black did not want to die because of his sins, he wanted to die for the name of Christ, just like many other martyrs who felt honored to die for His sake. He didn't want to run away from a chance to become a martyr... his sins were f…
  • Here is the translation......I tried to do the best I could, I apologize if there are any mistakes. Please pray for my weakness God Bless! Chorus: I will give all my cares to you And on your word I will throw my net All my life is in your hands W…
  • I can try to translate it, but I probably won't get that to you for another day or so ;)
  • thanks guys! [quote author=Marianne87 link=topic=7811.msg101606#msg101606 date=1239070349] I believe she was actually moved to the place of the accident by spirit so she wasn't really there behind them or anything. by the way...that movie is so go…
  • [quote author=geomike link=topic=7785.msg101431#msg101431 date=1238509318] This is what culture did to our church, and even more in America. We are suppost to go out after church not breaking our fast, but joyful because our salvation. Just think ab…
