First of all, I'm sure some catholics go to Heaven and other orthdox people. Secondly, i wouldn't worry about where others are going until you have for sure secured your spot in heaven. In other words, stay focused on your eternity before you focus …

Well first thing we have to take into account is that God made us in His Image, correct? and does He not have a free will? Yes so we are in God's Image and to be in His Image He had to give us free will(not really had to but stay with me on where i'…

That demon or demons most likely takes the soul of the person that was possesed and takes it to hades but i have no true background on this question just guessing really

Minagir is correct, i forgot about that, it can also be pronounced as an i as well. basically it just takes some practice and knowing how the word should sound, just like in english you wouldn't automatically know how to pronounce the word stomach i…

The delta, can either be pronounced as a d or a z depending on where it is in the word, generally when you have[coptic]Doxa [/coptic] it will be a z in [coptic]Dauid[/coptic] its pronunced as a d. now the epsilon can be tricky, it can be a v an o or…

He wept is correct, there are online lessons however, but i don't recomend them at all. it is best to learn them from a deacon so that you can see what's going on and the movements and everything and you can ask questions and see the different ways …

You can't download them from this site, but i believe there are others where you can but i'm not sure about it, maybe someone else can provide links

I understand where you are coming from and i hate it when people talk just for the sake of talking and have nothing important to add to the conversation. but you should do to them what you want done to you so even if they are talking rubbish just li…

If you feel you are not strong enough in faith that little things can shake you(or big things) then you should definetly avoid them and you are 1000% correct in doing so. but if you just stop listening just because you don't want to hear them is not…

I believe Anglian is correct, sometimes things tend to get lost in translation and becuase people try to translate arabic directly into english without considering how it sounds or the grammer that can cause some confusion.

I heard in a sermon by a priest of ours that on that day all will die. that transformation that will happen in the twinkling of an eye will include death some how. so there is no true exception to the rule that all humans must die. i also believe th…

Actually since she is non-denomenational means she does not take communion. so God will not be happy about that for he did say, whoever does not eat my body and drink my blood cannot have eternal life. so being orthodox is a plus and i am sure is a …

minagir is correct, the pope said he doesn't have a tattoe of the cross because he doesn't need it on his hand because it is engraved in his heart.

It is just a tradition, and is by no means required for us to have them. where you can get one i can't help you with though

Actually the discussion is still on this song it hasn't changed
-
oh well in that case you are 1000% correct. like i said in my first post i didn't read all of the others sorry about that. we don't get as much diversity with other cultures because they are close minded and believe the way they do things is the onl…

Actually i find it the complete opposite of what you all say. now i did not read all the posts so if i said something that was already said sorry. in egypt they have much more social lives than people in western countries. they are always out and a…

the best thing to do is close your eyes when you are praying during the liturgy or vespers and after a while you forget people are watching you. it just takes some time getting used to it. like this will definetly not happen over night. is it becaus…

They have not put one in place of her yet because no one feels they can even come close to filling her shoes or meeting the bar that she raised

The reason saint simon the shoemaker plucked his eye out was because he was a simple man who didn't realize that the verse saying if your eye causes you to sin pluck it out was not a literal verse but a symbolic one for confession and repentance. he…

Welcome, you will love this site

Just as Krfac said(sorry if i spelled that wrong) if you confess the sin and truly repent then it is not blasphemy. the only time it is blasphemy is when it is to the point of your death that you did not repent for a certain sin(s). He was basically…

Yes you are correct, that means that ANY sin committed with out repentance and confession and remorse is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit
