Peace, there are 3 things that will make you stop.
1) Know this: the first temptation is ALWAYS the hardest, then after that the entire road becomes smooth, and there is yet a very long time until you will see such a temptation.
2) Think of Chris…

And Yes. Theosis is simply: becoming an image in Gods likeness; God like. Which is encouraged highly by our church, and is what we should all be doing.
However, becoming God and acting like God is called Homeosis Theo. This is wrong and…

Correct, good observation. Wake up call for a lot of us.
Put it like this.... If you keep commiting this sin, and you know its wrong, but you think that it won't matter.... It will. And then on the day oj judgement God will tell you that u are not worthy of his kingdom because in your eyes sinning once a …
God gave you the ability to close your eyes shut, also to stare and lust 24/7.
Use the privilage properly, lest God takes it away.
"If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter intoo life maimed, rather than having t…
I'm sorry... But i agree 100000% with TITL!
He's right, because the bible also say "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
So we can do anything through the grace of God... However, the Bible also says that no one can live one day…
WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OFCOURSE IT IS! IT IS PRACTICALLY THE BASE AND ROOT OF ALL INIQUITY AND SIN.
ALSO, ONCE YOU GET IN IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO GET OUT OF.
DO NOT BE DECIVED BY KING OF ALL EVIL DEEDS. IT'LL BE THE BEST DE…
No, its not ok what so ever. I recently used 2 struggle with this sin, until the Lord provided me with the answer. Actually, there are 2 things; 1) Prayer in times of temptation makes the devil burn in his fire. While it makes the individual much st…
Correct: Have to get back to you
Correclty translated: You can look at many other languages of the bible, translated by different people at different time. And they will all mean the same thing.
Actually, yes Amoussa01 is right. This hymn is called Eegeneecic, and has recently been coptisized, by Albair.
However, this is the actual hymn Eeparthenoc, pulled straight out of Albairs second edition hymns book.
Eeparthenoc ceemeron ton `u…
Think of it like this;
Christ fasted for us 40 days and 40 nights withoud a single drop of water, or a single crumb of bread. However, as for ourselves, we have an abundace of food, when we're not fasting and even when we are fasting. So we can tr…
No its not. You are studying for a test. That teacher chose to put those questions there. And you choose to study off a certain website. So no its not cheating.
Just like God said to St. Anthony when he asked the question on rich people. God replied and said 'focus on yourself' not others. This is a temptation from the devil to get you angry and potentially ruin your friends relationship with God.

Dont Worry. I dealt with the exact same situation as you. Everything will be ok. Think of the greater prize and what were working towards. Meditate on a picture of Jesus on the cross. Also, if you ever had a patron saint, watch his movie. If you do…
Wow, you guys know your facts!
Also, God does have the ability to control the devil, due to the fact that God only allowes the devil to give us as much temtation as we can handle. But submit to God, and he will draw closer to you, therefore all tem…
Correct me if I am wrong,
But the Lord also said that there are 7 sacremants that must be fulfilled (4 of which are manditory to enter the kingdom of heaven). Although, i believe thats not all. Im sure that as "Unworthy1" said, it is still very h…
