It is tough. Although, this is just my personal opinion, I believe this includes wars. How do I explain wars in the old testament? I would explain it in a similar fashion as we do with answering the question of 'how come men had many wives and concu…

@minasoliman. Forgive me, I always read your posts with respect. You are very educated, and it is to be respected. I must however highly disagree with you on this one. I am not throwing the fathers under the bus. You know very well, that the church …

Lying is a sin and it is biblical. I wouldn't preach those extreme circumstances even if there are stories of desert fathers. Christ never lied. Christ is our model. If Christ never had a need to lie, neither should we. He saved all mankind, not jus…

"if I lie to prevent someone's feelings from getting hurt, is this a sin?" Lying is a sin. It's consequences are much graver than one can see. God is truth and He did not hide the truth whether it was hurtful or not. However, some take that to be a …

@Zoxsasi: In my opinion, it is always best to say the lyrics the congregation has access too. If the hymn is not theologically wrong, or just plainly wrong, it's not wrong to say a hymn with outdated lyrics. In the long run, it can be your responsib…

@Zoxasi The pope knows what he is doing :). The east of Canada also needs the help of a bishop and most importantly one who speaks french like HG Bishop Klimandos. Pray for France, the east of Canada and for HG's newly assigned service.

What does this nomination mean? Is there any official acknowledgment from the pope? I can't seem to find anything but the twitter feed on this!

Also, to add on to what zoxasi said, here's a another nice story, that you may already know:Footprints: One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.In each scene I noticed footprint…

My post was a quote from the book crucified Jesus written by Fr Manasseh Youhanna. I do not see what is wrong with the passage. I am aware that my post was not directly answering the question, I had mentioned that to be the case, I however thought i…

I know this won't fully answer your question, but nonetheless highly related: "Grant me O my God to pity myself, for You were innocent as You carried the burden of the cross, whereas I without a cross am oppressed by the burden of my sins. St John …

Now, for the lottery. The verse answers that clearly: "When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures." Now what about the person that won? Nothing special. It is a game of odd…

"As Christians, correct me if I'm wrong, but we don't believe in luck. We believe that God decides everything , or that everything is because of His Will." No. This then suggests predestination. We believe in freedom and God's grace. This is highly …

I can't disagree with your answer for micro vs macro managing. I dont see the relation of the time aspect of your answer has to do with it. God is within our realm of time. He is however above time. He abides within our realm of time when He deals w…

I think it is important to see how other denominations perceive and talk about our church. One must realize we must grow in understanding of our church so that we learn to see the flaws and inconsistency of what they say. We are bound to have a frie…

Interesting, thank you.

Educate me, when and why did it happen in the first place? :)

Sara, There is forgiveness. You did not murder anyone - David the prophet did. And that did not prevent God saying David's heart is like His. Why? Because David repentance was a good one. A great one. Read his psalms. Read Psalm 50 over and over aga…

Thought about it? :) Let's go through the questions: 1- Any thoughts how this can work out?It can work out if, and only if, you both have one mind and agree fully on everything. Sad part is that an Orthodox-Orthodox relationship does not always meet…
