  • I still don't understand. Can someone further elaborate? The way I see it is this, Christ was crucifixified on Friday before sunset so that's one day, and came evening and so a night. Then Saturday morning came and so a day and then night. After n…
  • Sandra, nobody can make this decision except you. You alone see this man once a week and can tell if you think he would make a responsible priest and fulfill his duties to his people. It is a very important decision and therefore you have to pray fo…
  • On the contrary, since the only effect hell has on us in this life is to scare us into being good. If one does not believe in hell, what incentive is there to be good? Further, what makes you so sure it exists? To my knowledge there is no evidence o…
  • Thank you! ;D
  • Heavenly_note allow me to say something: by saying what you are saying you are degrading the Bible and Christ's crucixfiction. The Bible clearly states, by my own and minagir's references, that you first must have faith to enter the Kingdom of Heav…
  • If you do good works, you do them out of love correct? But God is love, and so he must be the basis of every good work. If he isn't, than the good work has no basis. Since you are CO, I assume you consider the Bible a sufficient and primary source c…
  • Actually, I like Hos Erof's explanation. It is simple, logical, and true. To have the good work's Heavenly_note is implying, one must first have faith, because good works proceed from faith. If there is no faith to begin with, than where do the wor…
  • even if the life they lived was a wholesome, successful and generally good life filled with positve productivity? It is impossible to live life without God and have a successful life for, "God was with Joseph, and so he was a successful man," (I do…
  • God is merciful but he is also just. You can't be killing people all of your life and then expect to go to heaven. It wouldn't make sense. In that case why doesn't anyone do what they want since they still get to go to heaven?
  • Why would we assume that anything else Because our very early Church Fathers, the ones who received the tradition from the eyewitnesses themselves say the opposite.
  • Feel free FROG, but I don't think you want to use it word for word. What you would write would probably be written in a much more sophisticated and elaborate manner, I was simply trying to get the point across.
  • Another thing my priest always emphasizes. However this was an early characteristic of Moses: pride. In the beginning, coming from pharoh's palace, Moses saw himself worthy to lead God's people. This is proven when he went out to see how the Jews i…
  • Hey I just saw this now and I really have to say this. The reason we still call Demas a thief is not because he lived is life as a thief, but rather in the last seconds of his life, he stole the kingdom of God. By saying stole I don't mean robbed b…

  • The part that Kristina added to the Lord's Prayer is very very important. None of the things you have just prayed for can effect without Christ Jesus our Lord.
  • i just have one question..what was that about parents not liking a certain priest..what does that have to do with the way a parent treats YOU.. Because that priest can be your father of confession. However that is not relevant here, its just that so…
  • It would mean it was a normal birth. It being a normal birth means its a normal child with a normal conception, which we know is not true. Saint Mary was not a normal woman nor was her child (Christ), and so it does not make sense for her to give a…
  • About your family being your cross- that is more possible than you can possibly imagine. It ranges from all sorts of things, from fights between moms to dads, parents to siblings, and you won't believe this one, parents not liking certain priests. J…
  • Why the part "before her pain came" proves the point. Before any pain could come to the Virgin, she gave birth to the Son. It would not make sense that the pain would come after the birth and not during it.
  • No. In this specific case, it refers to the seven orders of the Church.
  • From what I have heard from the priest at my church, you may freely buy the books, but no clergyman is allowed to give them to a single person.
  • The Divine Grace is a great work. Although I have not yet finished it, from what I have read so far, it is very good. If you are like me and you prefer to hold your book in your hand, it is most likely available at any church bookstore.
  • I must warn, the Church forbids any clergyman to give out any book or sermon of Father Matta el Meskin. Faults have been found and El Keraza has written books against him.
  • People we have to keep in mind one thing, God isn't sitting in heaven holding a watch and saying we prayed at 8 o'clock instead of 6. All God wants is your heart to be with him. When you pray all that matters is that you pray from your heart, nothin…
  • I mean i get that god wants our lifes to him but he knows what we will do freedom or not so if we suffer is ti his will? God is a very very loving person. He calls all and everyone into his arms. God wants us to come to him, but we cannot do that b…
  • That is what the Holy Gospel says.
  • Do you have it in arabic? I would love that. Thank you very much.
  • We very often mistake what our Lord asks us to do as his children. God did not make a list and say this is what you must follow. For example, if you love, you will be humble. If you love you will also be patient, I can go on forever. Also, if you wi…
  • Yes, I meant disagree. However now I understand your point. Yes, we are created as an expression of God's glory, but, and I emphasize this, we were not created to glorify God because he does not need our glorification. Of course we were created of…
  • Huh? ???I'm sorry but I don't understand... Was that in response to my question?
  • If St. Severus and St. Basil's views differ from that of St. Anthansuis, yet neither hold heretical thought, then which one can we hold as the correct one?
