I have a question though. I've always wondered: how much detail are you supposed to go into? I mean, is a sin considered unabsolved if you tell abouna vaguely? And like what if you forget a sin...I don't think that should count but I'm interested to…

We know that one of Satan's biggest faults is pride, so maybe he thought he could beat the Scriptures. He could have been encouraged by seeing God Himself become so weak and vulnerable. Maybe he thought that if he got the Son of God into Hades he co…

How'd you go? English was on Friday yeah?
I think it was more than just a simple misunderstanding, I think there were some people who stood to gain a lot from the split. The misunderstanding might have been a tool, but there were definitely some ulterior motives...

True, we should get back to the issue at hand.
My comment has been made: I think it is wrong to say that the Devil is behind the Protestants and Catholics because I'm sure they say the same about us and if we both say it and believe it, we'll neve…
Hey BinC
You seem to have a real axe to grind when it comes to any Chruch except the Oriental Orthodox. You seem to think that God has left those Churches and remains only with us. You've attacked their saints, you've called them all heretics. Seri…

Yeah I agree with mahraeel. I haven't listened to the sermon either but there are some seriously obvious differences between some sins, it just defies logic to say that they are exaclty the same.
And can I just add, what does it matter to us wheth…

But apparently there are too many political differences (and maybe not enough humility) for this to have happened yet. (according to a metropolitan in UK, he was a bit annoyed…
That's true, but when it comes, its going to mess a lot of people up. I feel sorry for the people on the wrong side when it finally arrives. I think anbaaraam has good point about our world and the time of Noah. The world is moving at a slow and ste…
Yea everyone goes thru this kind of thing at some point. Like PK said, its not ur fault the thought enters your head, you just have to fight it. Pope Shenouda has a famous quote tht goes something like:

Am I the only person who thinks the Chalcedon and the split was more a political situation than a theological one? I seriously think it was a one of the biggest mistakes the Churches ever made.

We shouldnt use music to make us happy in the liturgy, the happiness should come from and ONLY from the presence of God in the liturgy. When we sing, we are singing to God,…

Amen to that. I think we should all remember th…
I think clay illustrated pretty well that all sins are not equal. And I think common sense tells us that lying and murder are very different. It takes a lot more evil inside a person to make them able to murder than it does for someone to lie, if t…
