Sometimes if we get depressed first it can give us sadness, but then after that, it can make us angry. Just the frustration of nothing moving. We are involved in God's creation, so we try to involve ourselves creatively. In a righteous manner, th…

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, one God Amen. I pray my Lord that You lift the weight of obligation from the shoulders of my kind brother Mike that the Holy Spirit guides him close to You my Lord. Have merc…

Dear Joshua I do not want to force you to reply to all my posts or you may have the same problem as me feeling the need to always fulfill an obligation or else people have noone. This can lead to car accidents for me. I don't have the same pro…

It is because I love you as a brother and I would do anything to help you. I will pray for you.

Jesus Christ is the truth Mike. John 14:6 Jesus said,"I am the way, the truth, and the life. When we engage with His life, His word, we come to His truth. This truth becomes in our soul. We do not follow the thoughts of those who aren't fr…

Hi Mike I will always be with you as God is also with you. I will be trying to help you in my limited capacity and God is your greatest help. I'm sorry I cannot quote the church fathers as they are far better pyschologists they any we…

I hope you can forgive us Marina, it is just that we are on a path that we have been given and even if there maybe different paths, it is that we may chose to bring up problems and solve them within the church. I'm sure you understand. Femin…

I always thought of it as unrighteous mamman. It helps but isn't in the truth of identity. For instance, I could quote Shakespeare, "Mad slanders by mad ears belived be."That might help me from people who say things against me, but Jesus says,"Bl…

I'm sorry Marina if you have been upset as I'm sure you didn't mean for anyone to feel defensive. I think words can be used in generic terms: Ones like love, equility and so on. What they all imply is sharing. So when words are used genericl…

[quote author=solidman link=topic=14150.msg162722#msg162722 date=1358291809] [quote author=Stavro] Orthodoxy is not a tool. Orthodoxy is Christianity. It is the ONLY way to God. There is no other way through which one can know God. [/quote] Tell t…

I would also like to add that the orthodoxy is dogmatic. So there is to be little change in what it is. It is traditional, so modern situations don't change it, but we veiw those situations in accordance with the dogma.

Hello rita It's because God gave permission for satan to be here. When satan was with emnity with God, before the world began, he took a few angels with him, who became devils. So there was a war before the world was here. So the…

Love you too my brother in Christ. I feel a bit for you when you are in the little wars that are of this world, and the big ones. Sin is of this world, so we cling to the world because of sin instead of realizing that we are been saved from it all…

Are you able to seek the peace God offers you? I remember awhile ago saying we try not to do things to please others because you can never please them and be yourself. But to love them, which is to be yourself, and only accept them in respect tha…

Yes they were. They were free from the burdon of sin. It was peace, and it is a peace that we seek when we get rid of the sin. Sorry have to go I'll come back later.

What were Adam and Eve like before they fell into the temptation of sin?

I'm praying you come together so blue. God bless you and support you.

Soldering? I think a starting place would be to put yourself into social places where you get more experiances where you can start to feel more comfortable.

May God enrich your spriitual life and bring you closer to others through Him. God bless you.

How would it work if we had men and women seperated in the congregation outside but a women with the men on the inside? We are seperated for a purpose that all are to be pure for the remission of sin. Eve gave Adam the apple. It says something…

Look at the direction of lies, negatives and death. They stay where they are, go backwards, or cease to be. Truth, positives, and life, move according to how much you put into them. Christ is the bread of life, and this food, His word, helps u…

Hi Mike, Sorry Mike, please don't do it because I've made this suggestion even though you have asked us to make one. Respect is for everyone and not something to be used in accordance with self-esteem. Self-esteem. the opinion…

Pray to God Mike, as this might help you to focas on one thing, instead of the many directions your thoughts take you. Pray for patience in the tasks you undertake as it is important that you might veiw them as part of God's righteousness. If you …

Maybe your mum can have a long talk with him about his drinking problem as he has confessed he does have a problem with it. She can talk about how it is affecting their relationship and how she knows deep down how he doesn't really want to abuse he…

Hello Lokiel, You have spoken to Abouna at St Thomas, but has your mother? From what you say he has threatened her to such a degree that really she is not safe to be with him. If she doen't go to the church at all, then probably…

I pray you are coping so lonely. It is one of the hardest things in life to be alone. My prayers are for you as you are a brother and as we are all adopted to God, who are our true brothers and sisters? God says that we are to each other when He s…

I think you might have it around the wrong way Mike. We are not trapped by life but we are set free. To be cleansed from sin is to be free from it. Take jealousy for example: The person feels less important (inferior) so they go for things in their…
