hi ep_chois_nai_nan, u answered like a true theologian! its cool to see u bursting with so many verses, keep up yr passion for the word of God! and keep posting :) hi everyone else, my 2 favs have already been taken, 1 tim 4:12 (since i was about 1…

hi, sandra, there are several issues here. 1st, if your friend is a minor, her doctor can apply to the courts to overrule her parents decision. there should already be a court process going on to decide her care. in the uk, lots of kids with JW pa…

hi, i know this situation only too well. one of my best friends who had been to church with me a few times but wasn't Christian told me one day she was bi. i understand completely that u want to still be her friend esp as she is confused. my friend …

Hi user00, i am also reading the confessions of st augustine, it rocks! also i agree with your advice. egyboy, hey if you're not ready to get married then none of my points above apply! but maybe think of them later ;) if you have feelings for her,…

INRI, you said it all. Trinity, i think you're gonna be fine. most of us have been there, it passes and you end up older and wiser. :) pray for those who are not Christian (or not living like it) who have already had a physical relationship and per…

hi, egyboy, have you done the usual things? pray, fast, speak to your FOC? i recommend a day's fast specifically on this issue and trying (it may be hard!) to think about God and not about this lady. in your fast pray a lot (all if poss) of the agpe…

g argiriadis, i agree with you that we need to show compassion to the lost. when i was still a child, i used to visit my old next door neighbour even though i know for a fact she was praying against Christians and spreading untrue rumours against us…
-
i agree totally with Godislove 260. also with QT, it's a great idea to speak to a priest for advice. also fast, even if only for 1 meal and pray a lot. probably they need you to listen and probably it will take more that 1 meeting to answer their qu…
-
i agree and would like to add that if it's really hard for you to talk to your priest, you should confess to another priest, maybe one who is visiting, and then at least you are no longer holding it inside. of course, he may think it will be better …

we in the orthodox church (at least the oriental orthodox, am not sure about eastern orthodox) do not believe mary was born without sin (immaculate conception). we think she was an amazing person and she shows us how to obey God and live the Christi…

dear bin C, i read all your posts with interest and am impressed with your level of study and Biblical knowledge. lots of us here who post regularly want to bring this level of theology to those who are not so academic or who are young or who don't …

may God, who sends the comforter, comfort you all in this time. may you be inspired by the life of this dear priest to also live your lives as though you have something to die for. rabina ma'akum kull

welcome, marcin. this is a place where we can discuss all the issues. i don't know all the answers to your questions but i can tell u the oriental orthodox (OO) only circumcise for health reasons, it is not necessary to do it to be in the church and…

this is the official website, which has english translations in some parts: www.patriarhia.ro the page about dialogue with the OO churches is not yet translated. here it is in romanian: http://www.patriarhia.ro/ro/relatii_externe/dialog_intercresti…

dear deacon peter; i understand better now. so when i go to romania should i speak to the priest before taking communion, or go directly to the bishop? i mean write to him, as we don't all have bishop's numbers on our mobile phones... ;) i have bee…
-
i enjoyed all the impressive scientific arguments above. however i think flexmd has the best sentiments when reminding us that this can distract us from the kingdom of God! as long as u realise God made us (over 10000 or 10000000 years), loves us, g…
-
i am sure Peter is now typing (!) but the short answer is that they didn't sort out the details yet so we can have communion. as it took 1500 yrs to sort out the main argument, u can see how its taking more than 18 years to sort the details!
-
yes. another way of pronouncing the hebrew word (spelt above by teksoni mesa pechristos; i don't have the coptic nor the hebrew fonts!) is Yahweh, and the messianic jews in france call him Yahweh. it is derived from the same hebrew letters as Jehova…
-
sorry deacon peter and qt, u guys posted as i was typing!
-
oo is oriental orthodox (like us) and eo is eastern orthodox (like russian, greek etc) they had a big dispute in 451 about who was heretical and who was right but made it up in 1990. yeah, a few cebturies of pride but we got there in the end! ;) so…
-
i think u need wisdom here, so it's right for u to ask for guidance. i suggest using a mediator, perhaps a priest. may God guide you.
-
dear brothers and sisters, please do not consider that i consider myself any better than any of you. i am here on this site mainly to learn, and i have learnt a lot from the posts i have read so far. i am suggesting we take care what we do for our …

hi, aidan, good to c u again :) i never believed in evolution and i had hilarious discussions with my A level teacher (at age 17) about it. she had never met a 'non-believer' before and had no idea the creationist science was so well thought out. sh…

i was watching st anastasia's story with my 11 year old friend yesterday and we were discussing this. i explained that we ordinary people don't find these things out, but we should live with God every day of our lives anyway. i have memorised my fav…

i think this is what he means. when my abouna went into hospital i had to ask him for his 'proper' name so i could find him, so for official purposes, these people have to use their original family names.

hi, i didn't read the last 2 posts on this topic till today, yes i still think it's not great reading. meanwhile i found a lot of relevant Bible references which i hope will help you: galatians 5:19-21; acts of the sinful nature include witchcraft…
-
No, i didn't meet any copts who do (myself included) but i had a friend who is a baptist minister (ordained) who does and i met an anglican vicar who did. having said that, most baptists and anglicans i know don't.
-
i'm not sure i understand, do u already have someone u want to get married to? if so i understand some families worry about this a lot. maybe they just need to know you better to see all the good work God has done in your life. i have a vietnamese f…

yeah, kids are amazing. once a 4 year old kid told me some stuff she saw between her parents which was not too positive, i was just chilling after dars kitaab (Bible study) and started playing with these kids and she just opened up. later on her par…
