Clay I love your argument. Well documented and well thought. However, as you mentioned this issue is still debated by many scientists and there is no definite answer. As you also mentioned personal hygiene and Christian behaviors will contribute mo…

Just to go to the original question and answer part of it… Why did St. Paul allow Timothy to be circumcised but not Titus? Well, the short answer is that Timothy was a Jew, as his mother was Jew, and he had to observe the Jewish law. Remember St. Pa…

Circumcision helps in reducing the risk of infection because the foreskin is an ideal place, traps moisture and is warm, for bacteria infestation. Circumcision even reduces the risk of HIV. I hope anyone in the medical field, such as maboosta, will…

Abouna goes around the Church before the reading of the Pauline Epistle, because St. Paul went around the world spreading the Gospel. I believe, in the old days the people would give abouna prayer requests and also confess as Abouna pass them by. N…

[quote author=gregorytheSinner link=topic=8213.msg104997#msg104997 date=1248678943] every situation is different. [/quote] What if one is not mad but concerned about the attitude a fellow parishioner began showing towards him. Remember it is simp…

The question I’m going to ask might not be strictly related with the original question. It’s just something I been wondering about for a while and couldn’t find a better place to ask it. What is our church's view on a fornicator being ordained? Can …

In my opinion the way orthodoxy is practiced in the U.S. is acceptable as a transition but not a norm. The reason I am saying this is because in the Orthodox Church bishoprics are set based on geographic locations and not ethnicities or languages. O…

If you plan to apply to a graduate school or a professional school you need a bachelor degree from an accredited university. The seminary in Texas doesn’t have an accreditation yet. Does anyone know if the New Jersey one is accredited? Good Luck :)…

I am sure we all ask ourselves if our sin is forgivable. Here is what one of the Church Father’s say: Let no one say: “I did that; perhaps I will not be forgiven.” Because you did it? How great is the sin you committed? Tell me what you have done, …

What a beautiful homily :D. It makes me wonder if it has anything to do with Mark 10:29,30. “I assure you that everyone who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or property, for my sake and for the Good News, …

Dear Ashamed Is repentance really crying and feeling depressed? Repentance comes from the Greek word Metanoya which means change of mind. Therefore, repentance is not remorse though it includes remorse. Remorse is only our starting point in our ren…

Dear Ashamed I am glad you asked about repentance and remorse as these are one of those things I personally struggle with. You know when you have some intellectual understanding but fail way short in practicing it. Repentance is usually seen as fe…

Maybe listing your ‘secrets’ from one to ten (or to whatever number you like) number one being ‘top secret’. Then start from the last and share it with your Abouna. You don’t have to go through the entire list on one day. Just go as far as you feel …

Dear all Here is another press release by ICFC on some new developments about Christians in Eritrea. Their situation is going from gray to black and they need our support, remembrance and prayer. http://www.inchainsforchrist.org/index.php?option=co…

If we can prove the resurrection of Christ this by default proves the existence of Christ. The book titled “The Case for Christ” helped with this. Hope you will read it and God will comfort you with his presence. One thing I want to add is that in …

I found this podcast on 'the Physical side of Prayer' where crossing oneself is discussed. Though there is no definite explanation why it is changed it gives some idea when it was changed in the Catholic Church. http://ancientfaith.com/podcasts/eas…

Selam Selam Well few months ago we had Eritrean Kids who were baptized in Greek Orthodox Church join our Oriental Orthodox church. They we accepted into our church with chrismation and some prayers. Therefore your sister doesn’t need to be re-ba…
