I was thinking about my faith lately and my relationship with God, and found that I was getting upset about things that I didn't find Orthodox. Certain things bothered me. It ranged from the way people prayed, to what was even preached in Church. …

If we were ever to be united with the Catholic Church, we would not impose on them that their priests would have to start growing beards. As far as I know, this issue isn't even on the table for Ecumenical unity.

[quote author=Stavro link=topic=14421.msg164557#msg164557 date=1368424937] The only punishment for sin is death. Do not do it please. You confessed, it is forgiven, and you should come closer to God to see His glory and despise sin and its filth. …

Women love a spiritual man. They love a man of prayer. Why should you leave your wife to be closer to God when you can live the same holiness with her and your kids. Leaving your wife to be a monk would be like having promiscuous sex to help promo…

[quote author=Andrew link=topic=10538.msg164711#msg164711 date=1369160207] As long as the liturgy remains uncompromised, I don't see why you need to leave. And I don't think it will better the situation. Perhaps you may find peace, but if you feel…

Khristos Anesty, I think someone's past is really none of anyone's business. Is it? What's your business is if she regrets her past and has repented and confessed it. I do not know why you are saying that you have forgiven her? How did she sin ag…

Ray, I'm not saying this to please you, but I totally agree with all your comments. We've all seen this problem. Some Church servants feel that our failure to employ cool songs and play guitars in our Church is seriously causing the youth to lea…

I think Eve lacked something. How can this be? God breathed into Man, he didn't breath into Woman. When God punished Adam, He punished him because He listened to his wife. WOMEN! What a headache. You know, some guy tried to convince me that G…

OK.. regardless - what is the official view of the COC? is it ok to confess during the Holy week? i haven't confessed in ages, and I feel so bad to have communion on the Eid without having confessed in such a long time. What am I meant to do?

[quote author=JG link=topic=14406.msg164397#msg164397 date=1367444866] I've never heard of anything like that. I've certainly confessed during Holy Week before! [/quote] Very strange. This is seriously wrong to partake of the Holy Communion when …

Hi i know the coptic corner app has many of the hymns that are on here. I think they also have hymns from other sites too or perhaps recorded during live performances. another way is to get an rss viewer and just play it from there via your ipad.

Why is it, if they are both from the same church, that one crosses himself from left-right-left and the other does it right-left-right? What church is that?

It didnt look good that he didnt attend the ceremony with Pope Francis. You know in that occasion, they gave H.H Patriarch Bartholemew a special seat. If H.H Pope Tawadaros was there, would he have had the same treatment? Is the relationship betw…

How comes our pope didn't go to the enthronement of pope Francis then?? Was he not invited?

Then what is the meeting about? This is still exciting.
