u should first check to see if God wants u to be a monk ;) :o but if u want a more serious answer, look here, it has been discussed a lot earlier this year. if u don't want to read all the posts, read the ones by father peter; he's an orthodox pri…

it depends on the church and the priest and on the person's previous knowledge of God. i was afraid to ask this question so i just kept coming to church, and after about 1 year, abouna asked me, 'so when are you going to join us? i have been waiting…

any convert can obviously only marry a Christian! i suggest if there are problems that the FOC of the convert and the FOC of the other Christian have a chat (obviously with the permission of the bride and groom) to discuss any fears or other issues …

well done for going to church, may we keep proclaiming the faith. latest update here: http://bishopsuriel.blogspot.com/2011/01/newsflash-2-update-from-metropolitan.html#comments

this has the same roots. when u are shocked at yr own anger sometimes u push it in on yourself and it can be very destructive. u have no right to hate yourself. God created you, and then redeemed you with the precious blood of Jesus, so u do not bel…

i will attempt to summarise human psychology in a few lines. if u don't like it, i would like u to have the chance to forgive me for my weakness! basically hate comes from anger. the more angry u are, the more u hate. eventually, if u don't treat t…

i think they don't have souls, but they have feelings (pain, fear, contentment etc). they don't have complex feelings, like being worried about getting spots before a big party (sorry couldn't think of a more serious example!). if we eat meat, we sh…

saved me watching the link, thanks! :)

i am not going to insult anyone, don't worry! ;) but, as we say in the creed that God created everything, i don't believe the demons have the power to create. human life which is not formed form a sperm and an egg needs a miracle, and only God has …

i had to go back to page 1 to find it. where r u these day severus? we miss yr posts :( i think they r all funny. unfortunately it takes all my energy (when these things happen) to not laugh out loud in church, so i have no brain space left to reme…

may God bring comfort and have mercy

thanks all for this clarification, very interesting. may we all work towards greater orthodox unity, unity based on a good understanding of history, love and forgiveness. i had the occasion to sing the trisagion (i sensitively used the EO version) i…

many valid points. i suggest we each choose some 'deacons' in our church to pray for every week by name so that God restores order to His church.

ha ha :D i really dislike electric candles too. you can't look at them without it hurting your eye a little. the good thing about real candles is they can definitely never be confused with toys that have buttons! if u can't control yr little kids t…

welcome, lvnvrfails13, may God guide your church as you prepare your new building. did you hear about this website? http://evangelismcopticorthodox.org/ it's in north america but has followers in other countries too, there are great ideas about how …

hi, u were sitting reading the Bible together? this is very good, everyone should do this with their family, Christian flat mate or work colleagues. the septuagaint (the greek version of the old testament version used in the orthodox study Bible) is…

hey, only 11 days left! :) the most important thing in the fast is to fast from bad deeds and attitudes and to fill yourself with the love and power that come from God by prayer, Bible study and attending liturgy. then when you start every day in p…

sorry, there is no need to date, if by this you mean hanging out exclusively with 1 person you like just to see if you are going to have a relationship. i agree with hos erof. you should hang out in a group of friends, and if you find you like someo…

happy Christmas! may we all serve God and enjoy the 2 Christmases :)

angels don't have female names. as hh abba shenouda says they are without gender. they are not men, because that would imply they are human. in the Bible and the writings of the church fathers, the angels have male names, and in Christian icons of a…

i want to add that i agree with all this good advice. especially i like dzheremi's advice, brother, you are a very valuable member of this forum and i am always pleased to see your advice. it's cool and it's orthodox. (that's a compliment, though no…

may God guide u. unless the parents are really terrible (eg beating the kids or not letting the kids go to church), it's better to tell them. whatever 'secrets' sally has are probably not a big deal for the parents, and so she should either not worr…
