Happy Epiphany! Very Interesting thought, first off there is death in the world because we sinned that is very clear in Genesis. Now adays though, i believe that God takes people at the best time for them when they are the closest to him. but i woul…
i agree with minagir, most books i've seen all say to say it three times. It is a major feast of the Lord and again as minagir said we say the verses three times on Nativity and Resurrection so it should be said three times.
All of our feasts in the church don't go by order of necessarily happening like a story book, but by when they actually happened, it doesn't say in the Bible how long the span between His Birth and the flight to egypt was, it was most likely at leas…
no i don't believe in the evolution theory but that doesn't mean that the dinosaurs didn't die off before adam and eve were created, again you can't take the days literally as 24 hours, they can be millions of years and as Hos erof and i said before…
Hos Erof is right, it is not a festal hymn and does not have anything to do with the wise men. Churches have grown acustom to singing it on feasts days even though it is not correct to do so. there was another topic about this so we won't get into i…
You can't take the days where God created everything in literal 24 hour days. A day to the Lord can be millions of years, we are still in fact the Seventh day.
the names for dinosaurs were given to them after they were discovered and their bones recovered. there is no proof that adam lived with them. he named all the animals he saw. if he didn't see the dinorsaurs then he couldn't name them
May the Lord Repose their souls in the paradise of Joy, in the region of the living forever, and grant them peace and rest in the bosoms of our fathers Abraham Isaac and Jacob
To answer abkarino22 question all the Heavenly Hosts were created on the first day when God said let there be light, because they are bodies of light, I got this from HH book, "The Angels", you can find it here, http://www.coepa.org/tNG/cnt_download…
what makes us special is that we were created on the image of God Himself, no other creation has that gift. He also breathed the Breath of Life into our nostrils giving us His Holy Spirit. I know this is a very simple answer but i'm kinda busy so i …
There are certain exceptions i am sure to that rule, (not the menstration but for people with diabities and such) You might want to talk to your FOC and see what he says about this because in the end he will be the one to tell you if you can take co…
Hey i was wondering how that translation was going, i understand if your to busy to finish it you can possibly do some of them if you can't get them all done, or if you can't do any of them thats fine aswell,
God Bless this service
the tune is not kiahky because these three days are Reserved for the Paramoune and the paramoune does not have a kiahky tune, it sort of the same rules apply for the last friday of lent and Lazarus Saturday, we are still in Lent but we don't sing in…
I understand that, but they still have the same "style" of singing and other things as well, its not just doctrine and Theology, thats just the root of it.
Orthodox is a big picture that includes how we sing, the style of the hymns, and the way we draw our icons, not just the Theology and Doctrine, because of course what is said in the hymns must be orthodox as well, and the drawings must be theologica…
Here is a link to the hymns http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/cat/76 , concerning the rites its basically like any other liturgy we have during the year and its all said in an annual tune with of course different verses for the praxis response and Gos…
This week is the Paramoune of the Nativity, which has its own rites and hymns, and since the feast is on monday, we have three days for the Paramoune, Everything is said in an annual tune including Psalm 150 for communion but during communion instea…
