Thanks for your reply but I wanted to discuss the idea that works are a proof of our salvation
I believe this is true for Jesus said the seed that fell on the good soil bore fruit some thirty some sixty and some 100
One did not ever know Jesus who …
Dear believer in God thankyou for sharing your experiences it seems you know me well and are taking this issue seriously
It is important to take advice from priests but they do not always have the time to be understanding of issues perhaps or maybe…
Thanks friend :)
Thats why I feel service is not for me. I need to take the plank out of my eye before taking the speck out of others eyes. Servants pick on someone even unintentionally who they choose to be bad guys and make these "bad guys" blasph…
He seems like a nice guy on cyc but I believe the accusations against him and many members here are partially true he held these views in the past
Because it is true heterodox who despise the truth and condemn orthodox may not be saved if they know…

Being in a relationship is not to satisfy a need to be with someone. You have to be able to give and sacrifice and compromise. And you can't do that if you are already troub…
Thanks unfortunately you are too young to demand much from you but I would like to talk about this to the orthodox here which believe one must be orthodox/oriental orthodox to be saved
Romans 10:18 But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed:
“Thei…
Thanks but unfortunately many do not think I belong here I desire to stay here even though I want to see why they think they can get away from being the light of the world? Are people judged even when the gospel is not preached to them personally?

I know if I had been diligent my tutor would not want to leave me but it could be because God Himself does not think I am ready for this blessings or He would not leave me feeling sick like this. My tutor does not believe I am incapable of working m…
It's too late now if I wasn't hoping for universal salvation then maybe I should
I guess I must marry a Virgin now
I feel wives use universal salvation against their husbands to feel like they don't need them
Also I am afraid I won't be able to g…
We can't disrespect our parents do not put tradition above the commandments of God
you say whoever says to father and mother whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God
Solomon says hear the instruction of your father

Thanks any else want to explain more? or did Amoussa01 explain it already?
I can confirm he already has answered perfectly
2 Timothy 2
23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. 24 And a servant of the Lord mus…
I am afraid that is burying your talents Jesus wants us to prosper in all things and give us all our needs and richly all things to enjoy but He wants that to come from trusting in Him and not in yourself. Whoever does not seek riches can not expect…
it is more to do with seeking God not the saint and the saint asking God to draw us closer to Him by his life
can anyone else say something?
faith does not come with wisdom of words but letting God reveal Himself to you and seeking Him
still if any…

I added more explanation I am not very deep in my faith myself but I use scripture myself and then find it agrees with what the church says
I am too busy to reply to you now hopefully someone else will.
But what duties do you think they have in he…
You are not to convert because of people but because of scripture and truth. Search any other place honestly and ask yourself do they really have more truth than orthodoxy? I am afraid all the churches are in error but perhaps orthodoxy is true for…
As an orthodox christian it is your duty to present orthodoxy to all people and other christian denominations if you do not think they are saved. If by going to such meetings people think your orthodoxy means nothing/to you then it is better not to …
And I want to dominate but I have to get married first and maybe I can get better desires by being close to God and find a more joyful way and the real purpose of sex. I can begin to learn the purpose of sex by practicisng self control now. Otherwis…
Thankyou Amoussa01 for reminding me of this verse maybe I affected you and God reveal it to you to share it with me. I mean the verse below
1 Thessalonians 4:11
And to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hand…
Welcome Back may you bless us with your presence and posts here I will probably read them but not respond as I am busy with studies and lucky noone knows I come here or they will be unrighteously angry and I won't know what to say to them because th…
My dad sometimes thought he thinks I have autism or aspergers syndrome that is not fair to give me that label I think I may have some of the symptoms or suffer similar things. I had searched several times about it and said no way I have it but somet…
Christs yoke is easy and his burden is light for those who love Him
His commandments are not burdensome for those who follow Him earnestly
As an orthodox person you are called to be set apart from the world but this does not mean to forsake the worl…
