It is the work of devil, QT. Don't worry. Focus on your own spiritual struggles, and let God defend Himself. He does not need our feeble attempts.
-
Again, you will find life in a monastery more difficult than life in the world. And did you not read the verse that you yourself found? Shall I keep repeating what I have been saying?
-
I hope you guys do realize that we DO NOT get judged the day we die?
-
Yea, some people just won't heed good advice, so good luck trying to piece together the signs! ;)

[quote author=aem581 link=topic=6578.msg87946#msg87946 date=1211136206] But joe, how then, can we constantly remind ourselves that the end is nearer than we think? [/quote] It doesn't matter - if we live every day as if it is the last, then that po…

This topic is IRRELEVANT. All it causes is unwanted speculation about events that we can not hope to recognize or predict. It takes away the focus from the present spiritual life to the future, which is only in God's hands and is simply stressful to…

QT, you read the verse. Enough said.
-
I think, since it so early on, go with whoever you feel more comfortable with. In my opinion, there is no sense to continue with the one that you do not feel that sense of closeness with... Just my opinion.

OK, whenever you get a chance, post all of the prophecies with sources and verses. I want to see why this is such an attention-grabbing topic, and why we would bother to let it grab a hold of our minds and distract us from the present.
-
aem, you keep mentioning all of these prophecies that have been filled. List all of those which fit that description.
-
I have said before, and I shall say it again: When it comes, it comes. The bottom line is that we need to participate in church liturgically, confess our sins regularly, and perform the periods of fasting and prayers as set by the church. Whenever o…

I direct this question to everybody: Have you ever had a father of confession who you felt that you didn't have 'chemistry' with?
-
Yes, but I see where Joe really made sense. Perhaps, though, they were guides, just as Christ4Life said. That understood, I wonder what conditions it would take to warrant a switch?
-
Joe, Actually, you can not change the FoC without 'strong spiritual reasons' - something very dire, I would imagine. Here is some thought on the subject of switching by H.G. Bishop Mettaous: His Grace said: The confessing person must not venture f…
-
I can not remember where I read it, I will look though.
-
You do realize that we are supposed to have only one FOC, right? The rules of the church say that we are only to switch with the permission of a bishop.
-
I have heard nothing of the ilk, personally...please, pray, and take your mind off of it. Make sure you confess and partake of communion regularly. Above all, take all that you hear with a grain of salt - all of this has been said way before our tim…

[quote author=PopeKyrillos link=topic=6475.msg87459#msg87459 date=1210647755] like I said, I don't know if i'm going to convention alltogether. [/quote] Why not man? It's great!

Oh, Young Deacon is funny stuff.

Hey PopeKyrillos. Last year was my first time, I am a convention newb ;)
