It means if a women is blessed to have a husband that puts Christ first, she should in turn respect his (her husbands) views, even if she might not agree with him at the moment. Like if they have a disagreement she would accept his 'last say' on the…

I think there should be security at all COC doors. Not just anyone should be let in. Maybe a special Icon like St. George or another fighter Monk should be put in place. All Orthodox Churchs need to come together and voice with solidarity the disgu…

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=9966.msg121982#msg121982 date=1289423237] It is not true at all that Christianity was spread by violence, far from it. It was spread at the cost of many thousands of Christians offering themselves to be put t…

[/quote] THanks Selah, All that's really good, but how -in a practical sense, can we actually BE "righteous"? What does that involve? [/quote] Read your Holy Bible every chance you get. Ask God to explain the meanings of the 'Mystery's' you…

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=6302.msg110516#msg110516 date=1266006557] i am not sure what you mean about limiting God's power. It is a matter of fact though that Orthodox have never categorised saints for lists of intercessions. A fe…

I know there is a Convent that was built on the burial site of St. Mary of Egypt. Since it was built by the same persons who built their Monastery's; I'm pretty sure it has the same architectural design as the Egyptian Monastery's. You should be abl…

I agree with Father Peter. We cannot let hurt and anger cloud our thoughts and become the same barbarians we claim to dislike! Do we really dislike their actions if we resort to the same acts?? We have to fight our 'human nature' and rise to the …
