Zoxsasi,
No offense intended, mind I ask you why you live somewhere where there is no Coptic Church (or at least Oriental Orthodox)? It has always been my personal opinion that I would not pursue a career or education or whatever it may be, that co…

So if God punished sin with an eternal death, how come this is seemingly contradicted by St. Basil the Great and St. Athanasius the Apostolic in the quotes i mentio…
"In Orthodox theology generally it can be said that the language of 'payment' and 'ransom' is rather understood as a metaphorical and symbolical way of saying that Christ has done all things necessary to save and redeem mankind enslaved to the devil…
I am confused. Atonement was necessary. This is the first time I have heard of penal substitution, but it seems fairly similar to the ransom view of atonement. Where exactly does the heresy lie? I only quickly read though it on wiki and it just seem…
Also, if you look at HH's right 'walking sock', you will notice the number 1. It is subtle but its there. You can notice it most if you focus on the shadow. Basically represents that he is first among equals. Thought it was pretty cool.
Forgive me, Jeremy, I mean not to be offensive. I simply understood that you were testing him when you said:

It is an unfortunate truth that the Protestant faith is claimed by many not to be Christian. Whether that be true or not, it is very difficult to say. Indeed, all the evidence point towards such an unfortunate truth. Whether you believe the faith in…
The Jews believed that the Messiah would be a wealthy worldly king. The people at that time wanted to make Him a worldly king. Christ emphasized that He is not a materialistic king/worldly king, but His kingdom is not of this world. The true emphasi…
Design is pretty nice. I like the idea. The '.org' is personally a dislike for me - just personal preference I guess, would rather seeing just 'Logos' as the app name, more common with rest of the apps.
The rest of the design from a quick glance is…

You NEED to be glad and rejoice for the Lord has saved you.
You NEED to be aware of God's great and abundant mercy.
You NEED to forget your sins and cling to the Lord.
You NEED to sit in your room and talk and converse and connect with your Savior.

As long as the monk does not take a vow to not cut his hair, they are allowed to cut it. Once a vow is taken, they are no longer allowed to do so.
Some monks will not take a vow, yet still not cut their hair knowing that at some point it may be too…
Hi FirstChurch,
God be with you in your struggle.
As with any struggle, only through God's grace can you overcome pornography or any other sin. You thus, first and foremost need constant prayer and focus in God. Given prayer and focus in God, I ha…
