    in Reaping in the flesh Comment by mabsoota June 2010
  • i like these answers  :) ioannes, if you've been in the 'church of Christ', i can totally understand how you had a negative experience of 'protestantism'. i had a friend who had also come out of this group, and i am sad to say i would not actually …

  • i don't think we should consider this funny.
    in FUnny Stuff Comment by mabsoota June 2010
  • that's right, we are repenting from sin (as always during a fast) and asking God the Holy Spirit to bless our lives as He did the early apostles. we actively look for ways to share our faith and to make our lives pure and full of love so those who d…

    in HOW DO I DO THIS? Comment by mabsoota June 2010
  • would he let you have over some female friends from church? that would be a start and you could pray together, watch a movie, cook some food for the church (get each person to bring a different ingredient) etc.
    in +Freedom+ Comment by mabsoota June 2010
  • yes, i think it's very complex. certainly sin gives the enemy a chance to do us harm, the Bible is clear about that. but this usually means repeated sin without confession, eg immorality, stealing, drunken parties, hatred etc etc. if we submit to Go…

    in Please Pray for Magued Comment by mabsoota June 2010
  • hi, aidan, as you say we have slightly different fasts to you, but the same principles of fasting. fasting is to help us control our desires and so to help us resist sin. every time we feel like putting something in our mouth we think, 'is it wednes…
    in Fasting Comment by mabsoota May 2010
  • yes. as far as i can see it's not a rule that's followed in all the orthodox churches, but it is in ours, and so it's important we follow it in order to submit to the fathers of the church. God blesses the obedient servant as much He blesses those w…

    in Pictures of Saints and Bible events for coloring Comment by mabsoota May 2010
  • seems to me there are 2 options: 1. you made a mistake. God can teach you how to trust Him to get you out of even the worst mistakes and situations. He got Jonah out of the whale and He can get you out of trouble too, if you decide that you will giv…

    in For a friend and his family Comment by mabsoota May 2010
  • this topic was discussed a lot between my parents and their friends when i was a child. i remember it very well. there was no Christian school near us, but i asked my parents not to send me to a Christian school if one was built (i was about 11 or 1…

    in Apostles Fast Comment by mabsoota May 2010

    in Orthodox Soteriology vs Protestant Soteriology Comment by mabsoota May 2010
  • sorry it's a silly question, but can someone define 'soteriology'? and while i'm feeling brave, can someone tell me what is the ecconomy of salvation? i realise it is not that salvation is cheaper in wall mart than in harrod's, but what is it?
