Ladies and Gents,
I know many people who were so much hit by their fathers that they became scared of them. The relationship isn't normal. I hate that!!
I mean, now they are adults, they cannot talk to their fathers, and the friendship goes. The …
Tell me, how do you all feel when you hear the Greek Orthodox Church looks at you ALL (you being Coptic) as heretics?
How does it make you feel if I told you our own Coptic Priest took a group from his parish to Greece on a pilgrimage - and when h…

Thank you for posting some useful comments.

During the WWII, Germany occupied Poland and divided it into East and West. Hitler assigned 2 Generals to ethnically cleanse Poland. He told them: "I want these people, this country to be German. I don't CARE how you do it (what methods/treatment yo…
Guys,
My apologies, I HONESTLY thought that seek was 1st year uni and he had 2 years left. I think knowing someone 2 years before marriage is good. That's all I meant. I didnt know you had 7 years left!

This is what happens when someone has an opposing point of view. You are all interpreting my words as being angry.

Personally, I think you are at a good age to be asking this.

Hi Seek,
We are really lucky to have a priest here as an admin. His name is Fr. Peter, so you can PM him to ask him this, or if he sees this message, hopefully he will respond.
I do think that any spiritual father will tell you that this is very p…

You know Fr Peter you continually try and make me look foolish by twisting my words all around, I expect more from a priest. I take pope kyrillos side for many reasons, it is…
OK everyone,
I think I made a small mistake here.
I foolishly used the word "hitting" - when it should have been "spanking". Hitting sounds like abuse, spanking is what you do to children when they're about to put their hand on the oven after you…

Ioannes,
I really think it is dangerous to read the Bible when you have your own personal agenda directing you. You'll interpret everything from the Bible to appease your own frustrations.
Its good to see that you are Orthodox and so attached to …

Fr Peter, God bless him, cannot let go of the idea that there is absolute truth. He told me that protestantism is a "half truth" or that they dont have the full truth. How c…

Hello Brothers and Sisters,
I really haven't posted much but I felt the need to just post a passage from the Holy Bible concerning the manner this issue is being discussed. …
OK, I'm not giving Sunday School, so I'll let Hos Erof discuss the teaching side.
But please tell me:
How can we be worthy of having communion? Sometimes, I forget my sins, and forget my short-comings. I try to confess whenever I remember anythin…

Ioannes,
Just out of curiosity, for me personally, which part of the phrase "We partake of the True Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ" is incorrect?
For me personally, Im not at all suggesting anyone should go to the RC to have communion. Th…
