include the NT and OT and see what u get and let us know. judith 11 and 12 is the part when judith gets friendly with holfernes, the enemy comander. it's not till the next chapter she sneakily cuts off his head as he sleeps and then all the enemies…

ok, here are the OT numbers, esp for joe and all others interested. i only counted the OT, the NT is the same as in other Bibles, u do the maths and get back to me :) these are the no. of chapters of the books that are the same; 50,40,27,36,34,24,2…

ok will, but can u check the accuracy of the figures in the info about psalm 118? i saw that several times but never checked out if it was accurate (so also never forwarded the email!)

thanks, that's brilliant. am going to send it to a sick friend, it is lovely :)

jydeacon, it was saint francis of assisi, around 1200AD in italy Christrules, i only have a little time right now but i think the best way is to 'have your conversation seasoned with salt', so mention 'church' when u r asked how was your weekend, me…

i agree with all these great posts. one day i felt really bad about exams. i just found out i failed a really important med school exam (it meant i had to resit in september while studying the next year's material at the same time!) i also failed my…

when you are old enough, you can move to another town, this can really help! i know it's really annoying to have no privacy, try to find friends who are not interested in y's talk (eg much younger or much older people perhaps) and remember, God know…

welcome giorgis, may God bless you :)

sometimes friends are difficult people. we are all difficult sometimes. maybe its not a big deal to them and they don't think there is a problem. so they answer you rather casually which makes you feel worse, but maybe there really isn't a major pro…

praying for you all :D
-
we will pray. remember the problem is God's and you are helping Him (not the other way round!) so pray, do what you can, and leave the rest to God. i need to give myself that advice too, i worry more than i should ;)
-
true, gracia, your going to have to stop calling yourself 'non-orthodox' ;) it's also good to pray with those who are still alive on earth, we encourage each other when we pray together.

we don't consider theodore of mopsuestia to be an orthodox church father. his teachings were taken up by the nestorian church (really long story) who basically fell into heresy for believing that the divine and human natures of Jesus Christ were som…

welcome again daniel :) wanted to say it again, now it's after your baptism, and i feel like i (we) have a new brother :D about the british orthodox church, also people attend from other orthodox backgrounds (russian, romanian, eritrean etc) and v…

hey, a thousand congratulations! (translated from the arabic, 'alf mabrook') it's customary in the coptic church for people to congratulate you when you are baptised/ chrismated, it's a lovely custom. welcome also to this forum, and may God guide yo…

some more about wine and bread: i found this in the 'wisdom of sirach', also called 'sirach' or 'ecclesiasticus' in chapter 50, the writer (most likely the jewish scholar jesus ben sirach writing about 180bC, according to the orthodox study Bible) …
-
i think child of orthodoxy has good points. what we should do is think of our own sins and confess them, study the Bible regularly and learn much at church and then, as much as we are able, help those around us. if we do this with the help of our s…

i think it's right to say you can be hurt by this friendship. but if you are willing to risk this and to keep being friends even though you can be hurt badly, then you are showing God's love. in my experience, psychologists and psychiatrists can't h…
-
ok, thanks for that yes it's important to stress salvation is a lifelong process :)
-
this is my brief answer (maybe oversimplified..) we don't believe in salvation except through Jesus Christ our Saviour and His church, but we believe that God can reveal things directly to people and people can have a saving experience even at the l…

as an eastern orthodox Christian, u are not yet allowed to commune in an oriental orthodox (eg ethiopian) church. we are working on it! (or rather the bishops are) please pray for them and may God bless you with His peace. He sees your heart :)

yes, it's soo lovely :)

john's arabic is of course better ;) mine gets understood and is a bit simplified. thanks, john

ana asallu leek (with the stress on 'sall' in asallu) for a man and ana asallu leekee (with the stress on 'leek' in leekee) for a woman. she can also say ana masihiyya (all the double letters you just pronounce a bit longer than the single letters, …

i don't think it was a trivial question. coz it's about where people go when they die. however, in the Bible, the things that are important are faith in Jesus Christ who is God, the things we do in our lives (the narrow path) and repentance from the…
