Fr. Peter, First and foremost: EKHRISTOS ANESTI!! To you and to everyone. I know you were evangelical before, and I hope that others like you make the same transition. It is a serious situation as many evangelicals believe that baptism is not es…

Baptists, evangelicals, born again, these are the MOST DANGEROUS people on the face of the earth. I believe that because of their mere existence, the Church has suffered more from them than from any other persecution. THey believe that baptism is…

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=9077.msg112858#msg112858 date=1270580096] It took you that long to figure out. The proselytizing that happens is tremendous in Egypt. It is not the one that can kill the body you have to worry about. It is …

If talents are "special gifts" or if they are just any gift, like your health, your time, or your businesses - whatever they are, you need to be 110% as apparently, you don't get into heaven unless you've used them and made a profit from them. And …

I have no idea - but then, I found it really confusing how whatever talent God gives you, He expects more back of the same talent. Can someone explain this?

Hi, I think it was righteousness what Joseph, the son of Jacob did, when he did not sin with Pharoah's wife. If I remember correctly, it was also counted to Abraham as righteousness his faith when he offered his son. What about today's readings…

Thank you so much for copying and pasting this. I envy anyone who has taken a week off from their daily routines to spend this Holy Week in a monastery somewhere.

In my opinion, you should accept both praise and criticism. I think that's healthy. Complements shouldnt go to your head and make you big headed, and criticism shouldn't make you go off and kill the person who has critiqued you. But when you offer…
