I am starting to re-think whether a "hunger strike" per se is the correct action. But, I don't know, what choice do they have with these ludicrous enemies of God!

But - i do think the Church allows confession on the phone if there's no way for you to see the priest - but I think someone needs to confirm this.

the end justifies the means, I can do whatever as long as it's for God
doesn't that ring a bell? 'Al Jihad fi sabeel Allah'
No, Christianty does not justify any means to achieve the end. What we have here is, children who catogorically reject Islam.…
Melchoir,
The source of your story sounds to be purely biased. If I am mistaken, I shall be grateful if you could share the source of your story. In regards to the Al Sultan Monastery, my information is that ,the bitter dispute over the Holy groun…

Still, remember Satan and his minions certainly recognized His authority when he drove them out of people. To contrast and compare:in Jude 1:9,we read "Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, …

The Devil was confused whether Christ was God or not, just because some of his minions realized it doesn't mean he did, he is not God we must remember and cannot read thoughts…
I think, we should ask ourseves why they are going on a strike. It is for the sake of chirst and not to get publicity or to make any political statement. Anything we do for His Sake is not a sin,but a blessing. They seem to prefer dying thru any mea…
Luke 4:41
And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.
I disagree with the explanations given. For starters…
A)You are not alone. Please try to be nice to your parents and they will be nice to you too.I am sure you know that.However, sometimes we lose our temper and overreact.In such cases,when you regain your composure, just ask for forgivness,say that yo…

As for the sin that is not of death, it is only when a person acts upon his love works towards brothers in the weakness of the Spirit.

Severus,
I think you are talking to me,right? Then,you must address me directly,so that PK or any body else does not get confused.Now, I have not quoted any Church father. I said 'The formidable Orthodox church of St Athanisius...' to merely stres…

We use the single verse, "the wages of sin is death", as the refutation to the idea of lesser and greater sins. That is the Orthodox source that I know of.

It is of the Orthodox Faith to believe that all sins of equal. To say otherwise would be to go against the Orthodox doctrines that we are to believe.
There is no such thing as…
Those of you who think that ALL SINS ARE EQUAL, I have a Q for you. which one is worse;to murder or to lie; to commit adultery or steal out of poverty? Do you think a thief is as guilty as a child molester or a rapist? The Bible tells us clearly th…

I am inclined to think that 'Learn2dance' is not asking a question to know but to simply dance around. If some of you have ample time to dance around with him,be his guest.

I think, I logged on for a reason today. Great idea. I will join you at 10pm and will also offer my midnight prayer and St Mary's Monday's Tasbeha on their behalf. May the good Lord accept our prayers.
