  • One of the titles of God is that He is the "Incomprehensible". Thus, if we could "prove" the existence of God, He would not be the "Incomprehensible". Furthermore, God created all the natural laws, therefore He is above them. He cannot be controlled…
  • We are in no position to say who will go where. Only God, the Supreme Judge, who knows each and every heart, can decide who will go to heaven. However, we do not recognize the baptism of Catholics and Protestants. The obvious proof for this is that …
  • Welcome Caleb! If you wish, you may tell us where you live, and we can get a priest to email you within your area. He will be the professional in guiding you into our beautiful Church. I am sure you will love it, so I do not suggest waiting much lon…
  • I would like to clarify one thing. Enoch DID NOT die. He was taken to heaven, he "walked with God".
  • First of all, I would like to state that it WAS normal for a man to have more than one wife in those days. However, Abraham did not wish to have a child from Hagar (she was not his wife, she was his concubine/servant). However, Sarah insisted becaus…
  • Actually, only minagir has more posts than me. Check your statistics!
  • I think confession is a very personal and spiritual thing. You should not have more than one father of confession because each priest has a certain way of guiding your spiritual growth. When you change this way of guidance, the goal your FOC desired…
  • I don't think the explanation is hard once you read it in context. St. Paul is talking about how you should not be a stumbling stone to your brother by your eating, and that it does not matter what you eat or drink, as long as you do it in faith. Th…
  • Actually, being that I'm a little bit older than most of you on this forum, there's a few people I remember that you guys don't. Where is Mary? Where is MarMar91? There's so many people that were on this forum when I joined. I think only a few of us…
  • NOBODY REMEMBERS ME???!!!! Shame on you!!
  • NOOO That is NOT true. That is like living a tiny snake left in your heart. That snake will grow and give birth to many more serpents.
  • Wait but in the book it says that you have to do 12 more to the east. Doesn't it?
  • You guys are missing an original book that not only proves that God exists, but also proves that Our Lord is that God: Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis. Personally, he is my favorite author and this is my favorite book. It's a bit lengthy, but it is…
  • I've always wondered  why we say 100 in every direction? What is special about the number? What does it symbolize?
  • I would like to state that there is a misconception here. Birth control pills are DO NOT increase infertility or make a female infertile. Birth control pills consist of hormones that prevent ovulation, and nothing else. Some unmarried girls even tak…
  • Isaiah, one of the major prophets of the OT.
  • [quote author=Meena_Ameen link=topic=5968.msg79771#msg79771 date=1196301754] i was just reading some exlanatory notes from the orthodox church on this topic and it turns out that we dont kno if judas ate the bread and wine, but we do know that the b…
  • Just because a person is not Orthodox does not mean that he will always fail to produce something useful. This specific book, What on Earth am I Here For, has been recommended by my Father of Confession to all of his spiritual daughters and sons. We…
  • At least this much:  ;D [quote author=aem581 link=topic=5903.msg79224#msg79224 date=1194560075] [quote author=minagir link=topic=5903.msg79187#msg79187 date=1194454884] [quote author=aem581 link=topic=5903.msg79180#msg79180 date=1194415522] [quote a…

  • If he kept on adding saints like that he would never get a majority vote... And look what happened!!!
  • ;D I get the credit this time... (As always, you are just the one that posts it... :P) I'm kidding I don't do that...
  • You just said it. We partake of the divinity. We do not partake in the divinity. So, like you said, God forbid we should be called divine... As my Father of Confession has said before, we barely know how to act as humans, let alone gods. We partake …
  • I'm not saying that prayer without a kholagy is impossible (God forbid, I prayed without a kholagy today). What I am saying is that in this day and age, we need to have our youth attached to the Church. If the projector/ laptop is needed I find no r…
  • I am sorry... I might be a little harsh but allow me to say something. Which one of us goes to Church and from the time they enter to the time they leave does not set his eyes off the altar. Most of the guys are deacons which means they have go do …
  • AP... Ok I think in that case you better do the reading for yourself... See this book... http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?item_no=31161.4&netp_id=175234&event=ESRCN&item_code=WW This whole series I believe is out of…
  • The languages usually follow up with each other, so even though I may only know how to read English and Coptic I can still tell which slide I am supposed to be on.
  • The Nicene and Post- Nicene Fathers Series I believe is a must read for any Christian... It's actually more like a textbook that contains most of St. Athanasius's writings. It can be found here: www.christianbooks.com. Just run a search for it and y…
  • Is scrolling down considered a hinderance? In this day and age all of our youth know very well how to use a laptop, I am using one now. When using this during the Liturgy all you have to do is scroll down, nothing more than that. If that is a distra…
  • Nobody has the version I want (in arabic at least)... If you ever see it around remember this thread!!
