hi jehan.pagans (who worship lots of different spirits) think that when a person dies, that person's spirit becomes a 'ghost' that can wander around the earth and scare people. but this is not true. Christians do not believe in ghosts.what really ha…

hi yoan, i had loads of trouble with compatability when i used to use a mac, although the function of macs is probably superior, there is a big compatability problem.now i use a very cheap lenovo laptop with M word, and everything works fine. naderm…

ahlan wa sahlan, great to hear that - hope the admins find time to upload your liturgies, what language are they in?you can find replies by loging in here - you can probably get notifications too, but i will leave it for someone who is more technica…

dear yoan, i think you have to keep researching till you are about 95 years old for that one! i have been following the debate on this website for 14 years and it never ends! ophadece, great to 'see' you, i expect this is the practice in many church…

maybe it was.or maybe he was just the lead deacon and he had the microphone!:p;) i say this (being a bit cheeky) as i am used to very small numbers at the night praises and i often go to one of the early liturgies so i have seen what happens with sm…

they mean this hymn:https://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/index.php?a=view&id=154 it is really nice, but i also haven't experienced its widespred use. i learnt tasbeha from here (where it is not included):https://tasbeha.org/mp3/Praises/Midnight_Prai…

this one i like especially - from my hometown (which i left age 16): 3. Saint Werburg There was a Christian princess in Kent by the name of Ermenild, who was desired by a pagan prince called Wulphere, who wished to marry her and to become the king o…

sorry - spelling mistake above - should be 'their' stories! i really like this saint: 2. Saint Chad In the early 600s, Saint Chad desired monastic life and so studied with Saint Aidan on the Isle of Lindisfarne and in Ireland. He then became an abbo…

thanks - although this is the same belief that the ethiopian church has as the other orthodox churches.so i don't think there is a difference there. i think edena thought there was a difference, but i didn't see a difference. thank God for the pure …

i think i posted it a bit earlier anyway, so i was sort of cheating...sorry! i did nearly get confused with the leap year, but in our church we anointed the realics a day early, as the new year's eve service was held on the monday in a small place w…

church day starts on the evening before...;-p;)

this has not been my experience of talking with ethiopian and eritrean orthodox Christians and priests.could you tell us a little bit more about what you found confusing and who said it?i found the ethiopian and coptic orthodox beliefs to be the sam…

hi discorus, i went to EO wedding ('crowning'). it was lovely.i went to my OO church for Holy Communion on tuesday.going again next weekend, as God wills.

the original poster has not yet come back on line to look at the answers, so i won't go in to details. also i have been busy 'in real life', going to EO church this weekend (without taking Holy Communion), so i attended liturgy in my OO church this …

this is not the official position of our church.may God give us all grace and peace

i am sorry about your negative experiences.i pray for orthodox Christians in russia to live free from fear and full of love, as they should.i have attended armenian orthodox liturgy twice in london, it was lovely.sadly, last time i went (a few years…

dear tigran,there are only a few eastern orthodox Christians that believe this.most of those people spend nearly all their time on the internet and don't get out much.most eastern orthodox Christians spend their free time in church or helping others…

last times someone asked a similar question when i was there i heard that our priests will probably not give an official opinion on the saints from another orthodox group.but for ordinary (non priest) people like us, it is ok to call them saints if …

further to the answer above:in those days, death had just come in to the world, so people were healthier (some lived to 900 years).also the whole of the world's genetic material was encoded in adam and eve's children, so there was an abundance of ge…

i found this website to be in favour of full relations with the eastern orthodox churches and so i would not describe as 'against' the chalcedonian orthodox churches. otherwise, there are several good orthodox websites that answer difficult question…

i agree aliya 77, and welcome to the forum :)i hope you also go to real life tasbeha (night praise), which is a wonderful way to honour God:)

hello and welcome lab221.the original poster has not been online for a while, so will probably not see our posts.i agree that this verse in revelation does not support the filioque.the Son sends the Holy Spirit, however the Holy Spirit does not 'pro…

hmm, so you have been an orthodox Christian for 1 1/2 weeks now and you are still not married...?! maybe it will take a bit longer than that to settle down, i don't know how much of the orthodox culture (s) you have picked up, but we don't encourage…

hello and welcome to the very beautiful coptic orthodox church of God!:)this guy has some great lessons, i don't remember if he uses the 'hazzat' (arabic term for the lines you mentioned):https://www.youtube.com/@TheCopticdeacon (yes, i know him too…

yes, ophadece, great! the most important thing is for us to encourage others to have a close relationship with God.we encourage this by basing all our activities on a spiritual foundation - e.g. every activity should be preceeded by prayer, and we s…
