I'm sorry Ioannes but I can't agree to banning people as this would involve judging them. I think you are a great christian because you are like St Paul in that God has changed you from being on the wrong side to being on the right side and brought…
I think she is trying to be herself and the problem was she couldn't be herself and that is why she has chosen a church that gives her the freedom. I don't think telling her parents will help or her FOC. Her parents might be great people but have …
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, do not be ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
God is eternal. He was there at the start and will be there at the finish. Time is less im…
I think Zoxsasi will be representing the church when she visits her friend as her friend knows Zoxsasi belongs to the church (thereby belonging to God as well). Abouna when he comes to visit our family talks about how life is, but at the end he wi…
Be with her Zoxsasi. Sometimes we have to love those who hate themselves. They need to know there is love out there when they are doing things wrong. Show you support her, not the things she does however. Things like hugs and just being happy but…
Yes we are the true bride of Christ, but it would be hard for us to be pure while we live in this world. The connections with this world make it impossible. Communists brought education to the masses through socialism. Protestants had the bible pri…
This rebellion started with Lucifer. Quite right. Those who seek rebellion also seek power and is so distant from the humble nature of the lineage of our church. Starting when Jesus was with the Apostles after the resurrection.
What is…
My thoughts are the same as you who have responded. Thanks for your opinions.
Just a personal thought. I've been thinking about Adam and Eve been deceived by the serpent at the tree of knowledge. No-one talks about the tree, but to me it is …
Sorry Ioannes, I just read it in the news paper. We know it's wrong but they still are pushing the homosexual cause. Our Bishop has spoken up against it and I'm just doing the same. I'll just say protestants and let it end there. You know Protesta…
It is so hard working with the young ones. I have to keep watching them holding the candles. They play with the wax and other things that show their attention is not fully on their responses. Sorry to sidetrack the thread.
Bob Marley found his Ethiopian roots and Haile Salassie came to Jamaica and it rained in which it hadn't done so in a long time until Haile steped of the plane. Haile came from the Ras, hence Rastifarians. Bob also had an Ethiopian Othodox funeral.…
I'm suggesting that by Kurts own confession he did not feel appreciated and his drug use at the age of thirteen contributed to a nihilisic frame of mind. Therefore his direction was away from hope.
Because then if he was, that lack of hope could of being the reason for his suicide. Which would bring me back to the point I made about Darwin. His lack of hope after his daughter died. Christians live in hope. It's their faith.
One of Abouna's sermons a few weeks ago now was that we have to make time in our lifes for God. Sometimes we can be way too busy, and when I read your post that was what I thought of. It is the same with me. I feel like he isn't there, but somethin…
We have a different truth. I look at Darwin who was going to be a priest but rather than being in the relationship with God and humanity, chose to believe we are just soulless animals by the proof that say it didn't happen the way God said because …
I pray Lord God that Peter will find more quietness in his life as there is too much happening and he is losing his focas by not being able to meditate on you dear Lord. He is busy with this world in it's lack of spiritual guidiance and is in doub…
Congradulations on becoming and being part of our church. Yes try not to explain like you had something to prove, but rather explain it, that it was were your heart felt a happiness. That's what I'd do because for me it was true. I do see differcu…
My priest said to me that I was the priest of my house. So I guess that I am supposed to take on that type of role when dealing with the things that happen in our house. I see it only one part of the structure. If that was one, then the next would…
I think Ioannes is right. So it depends on the happiness your looking for. I also think that the happiness that you shounld be looking for is contentment. That way what ever you recieve: no matter how big or small it is, you would be thankfull. If …
It's just fantastic! I had to learn Ke eperto and played it so many times on my i-pod, but these lessons are so easy and full of so much information. Brillant!
Thank you so much for this. God bless you.
