i think there are some Christians, even orthodox Christians who believe that some parts of evolution can be true, but some time, God came in, chose 2 pre-humans and made them adam and eve.i don't think like this, but it's not impossible to be a Chri…

dear remnkemi,non scientists really love it.i agree it's really annoying, but you, i and the other scientists are not the only people on the planet, so lets chill about it...(we're not even in the majority!);-)
hi dear friends,yes there is a summary of creation, and then more details about the creation of the humans.some english translations say 'man' for 'mankind' or 'people'. it's all the same.especially as it says in chapter one 'male and female he crea…

do you mean in the end of service hymn?do we change it to the kiahk response? (the begotten of the Father before all ages)?we sang something different today, but i could not work out what it was.
happy feast of saint john chrysostom everyone!:-)
who wrote this?we can't log in without an account.maybe the opinion of the writer (sounds protestant) is that the churches are coming closer together.maybe this means they are rediscovering orthodox Christianity.
don't panic!investigate!:-)
you focus by getting good at what you are doing, like being a good student, a good son (unless you are a girl who likes the name girgisantony!), a good employee etc.
be faithful in the small things, and God will reward you with the things you long f…
yes, that was since December that we don't baptise catholics.anyway to the original poster:what do you believe about God?in what way do you think you would benefit personally from coming to the orthodox church?
(the answers to these can be kept priv…
yes, it changes everything!
are you sure they are not mormans?
maybe they need to rename their religion as it doesn't sound like Christianity.
what denomination do they think they are?
i think it means 'it is so, the Lord is our God'
am still working on the coptic, so may not be right.
am glad i have now had my midlife crisis, it will save time later.

I have had friends and neighbours who were…
if you stay in for halloween, it is probably a good idea to keep a stash of sweets and little pictures (like of mary magdalene washing Jesus' feet for example) to give to the kids, so they have a nice picture with the sweets.
also in the old days, people would wash in public baths or rivers etc. so they could get cuts on their feet and we should take care not to bleed after Holy Communion.
that's why we are not supposed to go swimming.before i understood why we shouldn't…
