im not sure about this, but in reference to ur last question, i heard that the priest wears black because he wants to be 'dead' to the world, and is saddened by his sins. and as we know, sins cause us to be 'black', so he is constantly reminded of h…
hey jfranklin and iqbal
i apologize ahead of time for saying this, especially if it causes any offence to anyone.
now, i know i'm in no position to say this because i'm not a model Christian myself, but perhaps this ongoing debate between you guy…
o and i forgot to mention (how could i lol...), attending sermons and spiritual talks!
listening to someone such as a bishop, priest or 'well educated' servant could also help one's relationship with God.
alotta times there's alot to learn from serm…
besides the two greatest things,prayer and reading the bible, there are other things that could help.
getting involved in Church service might help you get closer to God. it could humble someone and teach them, in time, how to be God's child, how to…

Love is the language seen by the blind, heard by the deaf, and spoken by the mute.

i personally think you can see God's peace and love in their eyes and smile!
you just look at them and think, wow.......
sometimes it feels so great to have them smile at you and ask how you are! you get that feeling that God's talking through them…

It's actually one of my favorite parts of the Divine Liturgy. My reposed FOC, Fr. Gabriel, used to chant it in the most beautiful way and make that one phrase…

sorry i cant help you though! i'm sure others here will have lots of wisdom and knowledge to share about this!
take care and God bless
i'm not sure if someone already said this or not, so forgive me for any repetition...
in the mass, shortly before taking Communion, abouna says 'the Holies for the Holy...'
who is he refering to when he says 'for the Holy'? it's those who are takin…
in my lil opinion
i think cloning stuff like organs is ok and very helpful. i believe that our church has nothing agaisnt it....
however, cloning a whole person is a whole different thing... which is a very controversial issue (as we all know) and …

great story Coptic boy
i think the saint is st. Justina though (i'm not entirely sure, so anyone feel free to correct me)....
let's remember what st. Paul tells us in the Bible .... "If God is for us, who can be against us?" Rom 8:31
as Christians…
it would be difficult to give advice because we dont know what the situation is...
but in general, i would say consult the bible. although its not verbal advice specified for the situation, God's word will work in every situation, and I'm sure that…
hey, i'd have to disagree there buddy :)
all saints, as hard as it is to believe, sinned. on earth, they were still humans in all aspects just as we are.
their love and dedication to our Lord shined through them, in their lives and actions, so this…

to add to ilovesaintmark's wonderful words...
what does the Church consist of? People, basically. (of course- all the wonderful spiritual and biblical things too, but i guess i mean how it runs). the congergation consists of young and old, men and …
we can look at it the other way too
if it were alot easier for women to run and win.... i'm sure that some men would make decisions based on looks...
i guess it's just being human and illogical on our part as ppl....
and as for being 'the king' in …

thanks for your opinion, i think i can safely say we've all learned from this topic....
we are all entitled to our own opinions…
