everyone has good points. we need to also remember to learn obedience. run from pride, it is the worst sin!

amen!

selam dear brother, welcome to the forum. i have lovely eritrean and ethiopian friends, i hope you have lovely friends in the church in jerusalem :)

this is very normal. you should tell a close and trusted friend like a parent or confession father. then you will have advice about whether or not it is too early to act on this feeling. maybe this man will become your husband, but maybe it is just …

your response was much more helpful, though. on a more sensible note, marriage is just like monasticism (yes, really!) in that it is a great chance to learn to resist all the temptations of the enemy (to get angry, get even, show how much better you…

thanks so much for that, really enlightening.i would like to ask a question on behalf of the people i know who yawn and chat at the back of church (mostly older folk, the younger ones just copy so i don't blame them).what was it that made the main d…

like how you found the orthodox church if you weren't orthodox before.

yes, i recently attended a catholic baptism, and the adults who were baptised did not get very wet, and i could not see any exorcism. otherwise it was good.would you like to share your story, italian coptic?

origin was confused about theology so don't worry if you don't understand his writings. read all the writings of saint john chrysostom and saint macarius (the monastic father) and don't spend too much time with origin and tertullian ;)
-
thanks, that is great! :)
-
would a licence be very expensive? maybe there are people in your area who would be happy to contribute to that.it is disappointing that we have to rely on less accurate old testament translations in printed orthodox Christian sources, when we have …
-
joshuaa, God is greater than male and female and both men and women are made in the image of God. the Holy Spirit is God and so both motherly and fatherly metaphors can be used. but the Holy Spirit should never be described as anything less than God…

certainly you should use the orthodox study Bible, it has all the deuterocanonical books. the new testament is from new king James version (so needs just slight modernisation of the english) but the old testament is a new and very good translation a…

i don't know, i am a lady and so i am too shy to ask monks about their hair...
-
yes, some monks have long hair.but you won't see it as they wear the kolonsowa (monastic head cover - I don't know the name in english).so if you want a priestly hair fashion show, don't hold your breath...;-)

sorry, auto correct error, i mean glorify God
-
sorry, i understood 'why does God care' to mean 'what is the big deal'. these answers are good. sex was created as a beautiful way to seal a life long relationship which should be a picture of the relationship between God and His church. so it shou…

yeah, who cares how many ppl sleep with yr sister, no big deal, eh? :-O what!!
-
looks interesting, but like the website recommended by mrpete33 (https://alexandrianorthodoxy.wordpress.com/)it has no information about the author. it would be like me (a non engineer) writing a website about hydroelectric power in china. i know no…

probably posts here, maybe he / she will admit who it is ;) seems interesting, but anonymous...

lovely sermon quote in great modern english translation. think I will download it later. saint gregory is my new best friend :) also great Bible quotes -as we are all 'slaves' of God, the 'free' person is reminded the he or she has the same humble s…
-
yes, referring to His human nature

may God give you courage and peace. he will show you the right path, just take it step by step.
-
beautiful. thank you for sharing. may our dear father pope shenouda remember us also
-
sorry for late comment, have been too busy to log in for few wks. v sorry to hear yr friend was killed. may God give u peace. one of our names for the spirit of God is the Comforter (mu'aza in arabic) i pray u find comfort in this hard time
-
from what I remember, your posts were fine.mostly about exams, i hope you passed them!:)
-
It is a very old source, really old English. The one on saint takla dot org is better, but still uses archaic (out of date words). Probably the coptic is good, but my coptic is not good enough to appreciate it!

may God kick you into action... ;)
