  • + Irini nem ehmot, You seem so keen about what the bible says.  Let's see what the bible says about what Vassula is doing: But even if we, or an angel from out of heaven, should preach a gospel to you besides what Gospel we preached to you, let su…
  • + Irini nem ehmot, 'Be taking heed not to do your alms before men, in order to be seen by them; otherwise ye have no reward with your Father Who is in the heavens. Therefore, whenever thou art doing alms, do not begin to sound a trumpet before the,…
  • + Irini nem ehomt, If you are interested about learning the true meaning of fasting, in addition to H.H. Pope Shenouda's book, there are also articles that you can find on coptichymns.net that will provide information. Some of my personal favourite…
  • + Irini nem ehmot, Lord, have mercy.
  • + Irini nem ehmot,Here is some information on the Great Schism.
  • + Irini nem ehmot, The same could be said of any great civilization though.
  • + Irini nem ehmot, Here is some information on the Great Schism.
  • + Irini nem ehmot, I'm sure it is the same. I'm more interested in the history and development/evolution of this idea. I'm curious where it came from, if it exists in the canons, which canons, that sort of thing.
  • + Irini nem ehmot, St. Paul puts it nicely (and I know, this has be used over and over again, but it is still pertinent): 'All things are lawful to me, but all things are not expedient; all things are lawful to me, but I will not be brought under t…
  • + Irini nem ehmot, I was curious, does anyone know which canon (if any) dictates the frequency of partaking of the Eucharist?
  • + Irini nem ehmot, It's a sign.... that this someone at school has way too much time on their hands.
  • + Irini nem ehmot, Father bless! I'd be more than happy to tweet about your lectures, if you like Father.
  • + Irini nem ehmot, One prayer that you may find useful is the Jesus prayer: 'Lord Jesus, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner'. It's simple and easy to repeat constantly. The name of Jesus is powerful and can help us focus our prayers. Here's ano…
  • [quote author=lightening link=topic=10973.msg133024#msg133024 date=1300151507] [quote author=Unworthy1 link=topic=10973.msg133023#msg133023 date=1300151095] It would only make sense that if an Orthodox person were to marry a non-Orthodox person outs…
  • + Irini nem ehmot, My we have certainly wandered off from the OP.
  • + Irini nem ehmot, No, you are not misunderstanding the situation.
  • [quote author=lightening link=topic=10973.msg133012#msg133012 date=1300148798] yes, it was supposed to be funny, witty, just like we expect english humour to be. of corse it's not so funny/witty for those who still use an english dictionary to unde…
  • [quote author=lightening link=topic=10973.msg133006#msg133006 date=1300147364] zox, did you know that the priest is allowed to marry more than once?... :o i am sure you know that. ...coz he marries every bride and groom on their wedding day!! :D …
  • + Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=Κηφᾶς link=topic=10973.msg132865#msg132865 date=1300064935] + Irini nem ehmot, The idea that the Holy Eucharist is not the true Body and Blood of Christ is certainly a dangerous notion. The Church has taught this f…
  • + Irini nem ehmot, Fair enough.
  • + Irini nem ehmot, I fail to see what your issue with the expression 'real presence of Christ' is. While it may be used by Catholics, it is certainly an Orthodox concept as far as I'm aware. The bread and wine become the very Body and Blood of Chri…
  • + Irini nem ehmot, Don't you think you're being a little over the top now? Some people here may not have shown you proper Christian charity, but does that give you the right to milk the whole martyr complex?
  • [quote author=Unworthy1 link=topic=10973.msg132852#msg132852 date=1300059487] This is definitely an issue I would talk to the priest about, as PK said. However, I find myself in a slightly similar situation, although not completely. PK, you said t…
  • + Irini nem ehmot, Meena, If you have already presented evidence from Scripture about the real Presence in Communion, then you should defer the matter to your priest.  You have done your part. Now just pray for your friends, that the Light of Chri…

  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `homt>[/coptic] I entirely agree with your priest. Fasting is certainly the means to start us on the path of spiritual control (which is why the Church has fasts).  I just object to the almost pharisaical approach some people…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `homt>[/coptic] [quote author=Marieanne link=topic=8814.msg110489#msg110489 date=1265958361] The Lent fast is upon us and I noticed on some packets of food, like plain potato chips, it says "may contain milk". Is it alright t…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `homt>[/coptic] ^ Knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation. (2 Peter 1:20) I don't know if anyone else sees the gross irony in the posts by the above 'individual' (I use the term very l…
  • [coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I believe you can find a great deal of the hymns for lent on here under the Media/Audio Hymns.  There are other sites like coptichymns.net (where the articles were from) that also have hymns you can stream.
