+ Irini nem ehmot, From St. John Chrysostom's Homily 1 on the Statues 14. For of the diversified and manifold affliction which befalls the saints, I have reasons eight in number to declare unto your love. Therefore let all direct themselves to me w…

+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=henrik.hank link=topic=11658.msg140497#msg140497 date=1309378506] [quote author=imikhail link=topic=11658.msg140175#msg140175 date=1308926535] No we do not. The devotion to the sacred heart and the precious blood …

+ Irini nem ehmot, No. There are feast days and days that commemorate saints, but these are not 'mass intentions'. The liturgy is not served up because of that saint per se. In larger churches, where there are many priests, the liturgy is often per…
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, I draw my line of reasoning from what St. James teaches: 'Let no one when he is tempted be saying, 'I am tempted of God', for God is incapable of being tempted of evils, and He Himself tempteth no one. But each is tempted when he…

+ Irini nem ehmot, This just illustrates how the Fathers sometimes have varying opinions on one subject. I believe that the common view is the one held by St. Gregory Nazianzen, though Master Origen's is no less interesting. In the end, I suppose, …

+ Irini nem ehmot, This is perfect. Thank you very much for the information. Regarding this: [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=11721.msg140447#msg140447 date=1309316719] First do not go by the Synaxarium. Just because someone is in the Synaxarium,…

+ Irini nem ehmot, From St. Gregory Nazianzen's Second Theological Orations (Oration 28) XVIII. Thus Enos "hoped to call upon the Name of the Lord." Hope was that for which he is commended; and that, not that he should know God, but that he should …

+ Irini nem ehmot, Here is the Liturgy of Baptism for you to peruse as well. It will also help you get a better insight into the sacrament within the context of the Orthodox Church. Liturgy of Holy Baptism

+ Irini nem ehmot, You may find the following article helpful in understanding the sacrament of baptism in the context of the Orthodox Church. The Sacrament of Baptism by H.H. Pope Shenouda III

+ Irini nem ehmot, Just a quick FYI: Anathema and Sudani are the same person. They just changed their userID and picture.

+ Irini nem ehmot, Mass Intention: The object for which a priest offers the Eucharistic Sacrifice. This intention is distinct from the priest's decision to offer Mass, which is necessary for valid celebration. It is also distinct from the effects o…

+ Irini nem ehmot, Since when is calling anyone a heretic on a forum anonymously a joke? How can any of you say that with a straight face? How many of you laughed, chuckled, or even smiled when they read that? Anyone? If not, then it's not a joke.

+ Irini nem ehmot, Seriously?! What is your problem?
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, You are confusing yourself, it seems. Physically, Adam and Eve were adults. Spiritually and mentally, they were childlike. It's pretty apparent from the Genesis account that they were childlike intellectually. Again, a talking se…
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, What does it matter the supposed age that I'm talking about? It does not detract from the fact that they had the mind of children and the innocence and purity of children. Parents still discipline their children even if the chil…
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, Thank you but I've seen most of those references. I did not find anything in the diptych. If you could copy and paste it, I would appreciate it. Odds are, if he is mentioned, it is because he was one of the patriarchs of Alexandr…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=11721.msg140322#msg140322 date=1309200808] Pope Archillaus is a saint as he is: 1 - Listed among the congregation of the popes and his name is mentioned every time during the liturgy. 2 - Listed in the Synexarium …

+ Irini nem ehmot, Everything in your 3 posts illustrates the mind of a child. Loneliness, love, animals... these are all things children recognize yet do not fully understand. A child loves their parents without fully understanding love. A child…

+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=imikhail link=topic=11687.msg140316#msg140316 date=1309199114] If they truly understood what death was, do you honestly think they would have eaten the fruit? Of course not The problem is that they believed the serp…
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, If I may ask, is there a reason you're curious about the sainthood of this particular pope?
-
+ Irini nem ehmot, I understood the question. God is letting Adam know that there is a consequence if he (Adam) disobeys His (God's) commandment. It would have been unfair of God if He did not warn Adam of the consequences and then after Adam ate o…

+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=imikhail link=topic=11687.msg140271#msg140271 date=1309126149] If this is true then why would God continue with the punishment "you will surely die" after the commendment of not eating from the tree.[/quote] God co…

+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=imikhail link=topic=11721.msg140273#msg140273 date=1309129172] As to his acceptance to Arius, you need to read about how he accepted him ... it was after confessing. The pope had to accept him as did Pope Alexandus …

+ Irini nem ehmot, God does not give us afflictions. Rather, He allows them to happen because 'the testing of your faith worketh out patience' (James 1:3). Additionally, 'though ye have been grieved in diverse temptations, in order that the testing…

+ Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=imikhail link=topic=11687.msg140210#msg140210 date=1308977053] As I explained before, death is being away from God' presence. This applies to both the angels and man. [/quote] No. A few facts: The nature of man d…

+ Irini nem ehmot, You're not saying anything that we don't already know. What you haven't done is address the question. As I said, the relationship between God and man is completely different than the relationship between God and Satan or God and …

+ Irini nem ehmot, The relationship between God and man is completely different than the relationship between God and Satan or God and the angels for that matter. Satan may have opted to separate himself from God, but he still would stand in His pr…

+ Irini nem ehmot, For the first 100 years of Christianity, the NT as we know it didn't even exist. For the next 300 years, the official canon of the NT had not been decided. Early Christians relied almost exclusively on the OT (namely the Septuagi…
