  • [quote author=minatasgeel link=topic=13835.msg160927#msg160927 date=1352085706] I don't get what in the world is the problem with people NEEDING to know when is the end of the world?!....what is the problem with just living a life with Christ until …
  • (I hate competition) but when i was young, people would be put into teams with those sitting next to them and the servant leading the trip would have: biblical and miscellaneous riddles, points for answers. Read part of a verse and then ask the t…
  • when you say weak, do you refer to lack of motivation/spiritual weakness or do you physically feel weak?

  • This is where I think some things are just so inappropriate for a girl to discuss with a priest. Such a dilemma. even if you talk to another woman about it, you'd still have to confess it. It's just one of many awkward things. If I hardly discuss s…

  • [quote author=DC link=topic=13832.msg160902#msg160902 date=1352044683] Hi all, over the past few months a lot has changed. I started college, my two older siblings have found their future spouses and are getting married, and my parents are giving th…
  • Medicine seems like a very hard field you have to write reports lol, if only it was that simple! reports are the least thing to worry about
  • while some games improve reaction time, they may also be detrimental to your health in various ways; eyesight, sitting still for too long (cardiovascular disease) and even problems with joints related to what you use to play these games (fingers and…
  • there is a huge difference between being a medic and a chemist. Two different lifestyles and expected input of efforts. just remember that there are other career paths apart from these two. pharmacy, optometry etc etc. you need to ask yourself: D…
  • clever idea
  • The agpya is a way to help us initiate prayer when we don't know what to say. Different hours have different text that can help us reflect. However, they are not to strictly make us pray them at set times during the day. If you like e.g. the midn…
  • Go to your local charity and volunteer, giving up some of your time during weekends or something. Doesn't have to be money.
  • I find it quite strange that you need another human being to concentrate and focus their prayers just for you. God listens to you too. Ask for the saints' intercessions. And if you speak to your priest, he will remember to pray for you. Unless you …
  • This is a hymn request thread, I'm not and do not plan on getting into theological arguments
  • A very belated thank you!!! I just managed to go through them all! Any more suggestions?
  • I know the type of people you are talking about, isn't very helpful to the thinking minds. Then do find an opportunity to visit another church/monastery and meet new priests/monks and ask for their contact email. Ask them your questions. Many pries…
  • I think it is referring to our sin. The original sin held us in debt. Sin made us unpure. God paid the price through Jesus' crucifixion. So we are no longer in debt. We are free. We have been cleansed so we are now asked to maintain the purity we w…
  • haha, but borrowing kids isn't the same as having them for life! no going back, no second chances, no break
  • you're funny Mabsoota, I had to look up klingon. I do not mean that my feelings are accurate. But hasn't anyone ever had a sensation that someone is not a good person before you even talk to them? And if so, were you right? whether you were righ…
  • :) Mabsoota, do you mean you have kids?
  • Priests will happily talk to you. The only concern is that the priority here is your spiritual life because it has to come before any relationship. If it is in any other order, it will not be built on a firm foundation and it is a matter of time f…
  • 106 views and no one has an opinion? yet everyone is having children by default!
  • waste of time
  • Thanks but give no credit to me, thank the guy at church who explained it all to me :)
  • Yes, God has a plan for us. However, do not confuse God's plan with 'fate'. Fate is a non Christian idea which means that your future is decided and will happen regardless of what you do. But God has given all humans free will. You are free to ch…
  • I feel that conscience comes from God. Because we were created in His image, we each have a little part of Him. But since we have free will, we can do whatever we want, so when we do wrong, our conscience makes us feel guilt for what we have done. …
  • May I just clarify whether you are asking about consciousness or did you mean conscience? Thanks
