Hi G.J.I, You have to remember that this verse was written by St. Paul who was speaking with diaspora jews or jews living in gentile countries. In this case he was giving them a directive that was appropriate for the jewish culture, its not a Chri…

Hi Fayna, Just to follow on from what Mary has wisley said, the nature of prayer is not what we think it is. When prayer existed in the garden of eden and when the angels pray, these places were heavenly and they had no need of anything because Go…

I think drinking is highly important so we don't die from dehydration.

A good starting point is the first 4 chapters of the book Unseen Warfare on coptichymns.net. http://www.coptichymns.net/index.php?name=PagEd&topictoview=38 It is soooooo important that people get away from the idea of being reactive to spiritu…

Maybe you could define it correctly by saying "At the supra-time was the word?"

Learn submission, that'll fix your problemo right up! Its an important virtue because it defines how well you work together with God's help. It essentially helps you to ask God the right questions at the right times and helps you hear God's voice …

I don't think this topic can be adequatly understood without first discussing dating. We haven't done enough of that on this board. :P CS

Molech was a food the israelites used to eat in Egypt, that the Egyptians knew as molochaia. This is punishable by death and the church keeps this rule until today. ;) Actually Molech is a forign God in Egypt so it is a symbol for the ultimate dis…

Hi SMS, They could be referring to either after the council of Chalcedon when the Romans persecuted the church. They had an emperor called Justinian (embarassingly) one of their saints who used to kill a lot of people to have them follow the coun…

Hello again, I found a passage on the ROC belief in evolution: I might begin by stating that, if by evolution one is referring to the theories and teachings of Charles Darwin, the Orthodox Church surely does not subscribe to evolution in any manner…

Good to hear. :) CS

There are two accounts of the creation of man, one is physical and the other is spiritual (I think). Other than that I'm saying no more. If you want more info on orthodox evolution you'll have to find a russian orthodox person and have them explai…

Again I stress that I am a fence sitter on this subject so no comments about me be an evolutionist mmmmmkay?

Hi all, Just thought I'd add a little to the discussion. Whether you believe in evolution or not the information in the bible doesn't contradict evolution for a few reasons: 1. The period of a day may not be 24 hours, this was proposed by St. Jer…

This is what I have been trying to say all along. ;D Creation means that God created the world, that doesn't mean we know exactly how. I think you guys also went overboard with you idea of not pursuing science as a result. This is a great gift f…

Why do you all assume we will never know if there was a big bang? CS
-
Awww, I'm so sorry to hear that. :'( But your posts are like sms messages of 255 characters or less. ;) CS
-
I'm not sure that a big bang does contradict the idea of creationism. Perhaps its better not to make it into a sticking point? Even if a big bang was proven it would be more likley to support creationism rather than a random event based system of …

The best book on the subject from our churches POV is The Council of Chaledon Rexamined. It looks at the historical and theological side of the split. It was written by an Indian Orthodox author so it repesents our doctrines as they are a sister c…
