“You are to be my holy people. So do not eat the meat of an animal torn by wild beasts; throw it to the dogs." Exodus 22:31 I'm not saying that God hates dogs, but I don't think they deserve to have their own service. It's ridiculous.. Just another…

[quote author=TITL link=topic=12523.msg146974#msg146974 date=1320260191] I don't take calling the Almight God a "jerk" lightly. People can insult me all they want, but not my God. God helps. Prayers work. [quote author=christ_rose link=topic…

Haha I meant good life to HARD life.. sorry it's been a long day lol

I meant that he gives up his career. (assuming that he mad more before he was a priest.) I do understand the difference between a priest and a monk. Sorry if I worded my question incorrectly.

Peter, thank you for your your response. You're completely right. Monasticism is more of going from a good life to an easy life. (Rather from escaping from problems). So what makes a priest different from a monk? Both give up money. What makes a p…

I will keep you and your mother in my prayers.. don't worry. God does does everything for a reason. Let it be according His will, and not according to our ours. Stay strong. Everyone goes through hard times, but God knows the perfect time to show H…

I'm in the same boat as you. It can be very difficult to confess. If you can't confess, that means you're too proud of yourself. You worry too much about how about will react or think about if you were humble (not that you aren't), you would put y…

Thanks!

I have to agree with Jimmy. The reason we go do the All Saints' Day (we go to the same chuch) is so that kids don't go out trick or treating and dressing as demons. Let's not forget. These are kids, and we can't expect them to not conform to the wor…

As Orthodox Christians, the only thing that should be different about Thanksgiving is the turkey lol.. I mean, we should thank God every single minute in our lives, not just that one day. As for Abouna, he always enforces that skipping fasting day…

In my church, there is no orginazation at all. Those who should be higher level deacons are lower (just because of age). Many men wear the badrosheen (however you spell it) just because all the other older men wear it, and I don't even think they'…

I remember a monk being asked a question similar on live TV. A man asked him if it was a sin to use wine as the blood of Christ? The monk took a good 2 minutes in silence thinking. In the end, his answer was that it is not right and it is not wrong…

If I withdraw now, I get a "w" grade, and that doesn't effect my GPA.
-
Good grades has never really been my strong point. Ever since I was a little kid, I never have been getting grades. But I'm so close to the church, and people always look at me as the best, but I'm really nothing. I feel like every time a got a b…
-
I think it's a little too late for an A. The last day to withdraw is Nov. 4, and I only see the classes getting harder. I am very lost right now, and I feel like God has left me alone. Instead of praying to God to give me an A, I've asked Him for …

You just defined exactly how I feel. I'm always scared at the possibilities that can happen to me, which is extremely hard to put aside. I really feel like college isn't for me, and I'm always thinking what I'm going to end up becoming later in li…

the one that they do in the texas monastery is nice..comes on CTV sometimes

That's weird. Copticchurch.net says the Gospel of John

[quote author=Chianapandra link=topic=12251.msg145220#msg145220 date=1317023502] Forgive me, but I feel like I am the only servant who actually comes to the liturgy, and cares about church. The girls show up at the end of liturgy, and only 2 of the …

haha It wasnt really lustful. It's just not right that servants and Sunday School teachers and deacons danced and dressed in such a way. Forgive me, but I just dont see how you can serve God and the world at the same time.
-
wow thats awesome!! thanks a lot!
-
Thank you, Remnkemi. That was a perfect story to put it in. I always try to convince myself that I am worse than all the others, but sometimes its just hard not to judge and criticize others. For example, I went to a wedding reception last night, …

That's the thing. I can't even talk to my priest because I feel like he doesn't have any problem with it. He's too nice! For example, he used to always say no deacons can dress after the agpeya prayers and no one can take communion. I was happy when…
