  • That's not awesome, we got him in trouble with the local government. That website poll was for their town and local residents to vote, not for people who have never been there.
  • That is a Serbian Orthodox monk...if you didn't read the title haha, and Serb, the guy who posted this is Serbian so of course he understands what this is. From what I can tell from the video, the monk found a wolf as he was walking and they're now …
  • Hey man, don't fret it. We all make mistakes, even the adults who've been doing it their entire lives. We're human, we err but how else do we learn but from mistakes and experience? Just try them out, don't worry about the people. Even if you mess u…
  • I was looking this topic up and I found a Greek Orthodox website that may explain this: http://www.oodegr.com/english/dogma/diafora/Hlias1.htm And here is the text of the  event in question: “Και εγένετο αυτών πορευομένων, επορεύοντο και ελάλουν …
  • Hahahaha I had a feeling you went to St.Anthony's actually. Might I ask who you are? First name is sufficient since we're on a public forum. I'm Dave.
  • Hey man welcome! I'm sure you'll benefit alot and help us benefit as well. You're an Eagles fan are ye? Go to the Philly church by any chance?
  • Thanks for all your prayers, I think I did really well today. Professor says he only saw one mistake so far, but he's only grading the top 5/7 problems. I was made aware of a saint yesterday who helps people when they have a very hard struggle to …
  • Here are the lyrics: http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/index.php?a=view&id=109
  • St. Ignatious of Antioch, in the late first and early second century, describe God as the furnace that a craftsman uses to temper a sword. When a properly prepared sword is placed within the fire, it makes it stronger and the sword takes on the prop…
  • I'm not sure how I did. There were only 5 questions, one of which I have never seen before, and another I know I got wrong. Here's hoping I get partial credit on something. Thanks for everyone's prayers, you'll all still be in mine, and please conti…
  • I'll be praying for all of you. I ask that anyone who sees this prays for me as I have an important Calculus exam in about...13 hours, and I honestly do not understand most of it, so all the prayers will help. Thank you!
  • I received the daily planner thing from St.Anthony's Monastery in California which has the daily readings, but the church lectionary can be found here: http://www.copticchurch.net/classes/getLectionary.php
  • Aghapy Mahraeel, The most proper way to pray has been passed down to us from the ancient monks in the Agpeya. It is broken up into 7 sections, the seven hours of the day (plus the watches, which are parts for monks and priests). I had a talk with Ab…
  • Here is H.G. Bishop Youssef's opinion: All sins are punished by death "For the wages of sin is death" (Rom 6:23). The definition of 'death' is separation from God but at different levels of punishment as our Lord said to His disciples "And whoever …
  • Haha aww I'm sorry, I didn't know. I'm new here so...yeah haha forgive me. And score negative one for me :[.
  • Sure it does. Now instead of just kissing his hand without knowing what it means, Loca can kiss his hand knowing that he is thanking God. I think that is quite significant even though just a small thing.
  • Haha oh you're funny. But yes, when we're thanking God for taking things away, we're thanking Him because He gave the thing to us in the first place and He willed that it be taken away, so instead of us trying to grab hold of it, we thank Him for Hi…
  • But God can also take away things if He wills; His power is limitless. When we thank God for taking things away, we also thank Him for taking away the things we couldn't normally fix/cure ourselves. Take for example those with incurable diseases who…
  • Ah thank you!
  • Ah my mistake, are the congregational responses in that tune however? My priest was telling us today on how next week we would be singing in the Palm Sunday tune for something, I can't quite remember what..
  • I thought it was the Palm Sunday tune?
  • When you are kissing your hands you are thanking God for what He has given you (palm down) and what He has taken away from your hands (palm up).
  • Pope Shenouda also requires all male Sunday School teachers to be ordained epsaltos or above, so you might have to check with Abouna about that bigeee.
  • Mnc, conversions can occur for we are not in full communion yet. When the person is Chrismated, that is considered a conversion because they are no longer considered part of the Eastern Orthodox communion but part of the Oriental Orthodox communion.…
  • Well don't mention conversion at all yet, just say its an opportunity for your friend to grow in God until they are able to go to their own church more often, and since we're similar you feel that this will give your friend a chance to get a feel fo…
  • http://www.orthodoxunity.org/ All the agreed statements between the churches can be found there I believe.
  • http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Divine_Liturgies/Father_Bishoy_Andrawes,_Liturgy_of_St._Gregory.html This one is beautiful and in English, you didn't like it? I loved it! Perhaps you missed this.
  • http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Divine_Liturgies.html There are a couple good ones there.
