If they are able to understand and explain the bible to others, THEN they will be ordained oghnostos. but if they don't know how to do that, then they'll stay epsaltos.
not necessarily true. just very few deacons of our age group. But its because you have to be at least 30-sum years old to be ordained a deacon (i think thats the right age..not positive). But of course if you have the maturaty and knowlegde, then…
Banoub, circumcision is no longer required by the church. I do agree with you 100% on how it's good for the health, but especially after Saint Paul wrote the book of Galations which was all about circumcision, and many other epistles that mentioned…
