NorthernCross, The word "Apostle", from the Greek apostello "to send forth", "to dispatch", has etymologically a very general sense. Apostolos (Apostle) means one who is sent forth, dispatched--in other words, who is entrusted with a mission, rat…

Vorlbronx, I found this site, but just as the Coptic Scrolls of Nag Hammadi, and the "Lost Gospels" are controversial, I don't know of the validity of these writings. http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/ -Chris

Wasim, When I was typing that, I didn't understand it either. It's right from that site I referenced. I don't know why they said that, but I think it's best if I take it off now because, after all, Christ had no siblings in the sense we know. B…

This is related by Bishop (the seventieth) Dorotheus of Tyre who was one of the seventy and also a pious martyr in the reign of Emperors Licinius and Constantine. He wrote on various subjects in Greek and Latin and after the deaths of Diocletian and…

Volbrlorx, The 12 chosen by Jesus were his disciples. St. Mark was just one of the 70 apostles also chosen. So the 12 and their fates were: 1. Andrew - crucified 2. Bartholomew - beaten then crucified 3. James, son of Alphaeus - stoned to …

NorthernCross, "Ordination" is not only used for the rank of Priest. The term can be used for the process of becoming an official sub-deacon in the seven orders of the Church of God. In Defender's case, he is becoming the first rank of the seven…

Well it's very rare to skip ranks completely. If you're not anything right now, you'll be an psaltos. If you're an psaltos, you'll become oghonostos, and so on. They only really do epi-deakons if you're above 18 and your priests are preparing you fo…

Why are you scared? If it's like any other ordination, depending on your rank, your just blessed and breathed on by a Bishop. Speaking of which, which rank are you going to be ordained for? It always helps to know what you need to do before you do i…

Glad to help, my brother in Christ! :) If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? (1 John 4:20) - Chris

Mikos, The hymn you are looking for is "O Kirios". It is not said just for the Apostle's Fast, but can be said at anytime in the year as a hymn for communion. You can find the hymn here: http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Songs/English/Trinity - Via…

Um, sorry to be a pain in the rear, but I keep getting an error every time I try to upload. "Error while sending data--Connection Reset By Peer: socket write error". Is it just my computer? Or a server thing? Thanks, - Chris

Tasbeha.org, The upload applet must have just been temporarily offline perhaps. It is working now, thank you anyway. - Chris

I've sent you a private message concerning this, since its "non-spiritual" in nature. Let me know if you didn't recieve it. Your Brother Through Our Heavenly Father, - Chris

You have to look at it and focus. It's only the bust of St. Mary (her head and a small piece of her neck). It is not the whole figure. Look again and let us know if you see it. Defender and nardin, thanks for the correction. That really is the hol…

Do you think you can enlarge the picture a little? Its tough to see. I don't think Jesus appeared though, because wouldn't that be like a Second-coming? ??? Paul the apostle: speaks of the honor of the Cross: saying, "We will not pride: except in …

Lol. Actually, some cell phones allow you to create a ring tone ('Composition'). But I don't think one can get that to another phone. I know you were kidding SMS about the sharing, but I just thought I'd mention that, cause after all, your cell phon…

That is the why we believe she was ever-virgin. Because no one is holy enough to be carried in the same womb as Christ was. Let us give up: all evil causes: and purify our hearts: in the name of the Lord. - Chris
