  • [quote author=Orthodoxy link=topic=13780.msg162619#msg162619 date=1358011230] Zoxsasi, I see your frustration and your point that drove you to it. However, I think we should avoid labeling all the RCs that way. [/quote] This is precisely why I hav…

  • May I recommend that you download the lectures of Dr. Nabil Baky. He is a councellor in these matters for the Church. Secondly, porn addiction is worse than substance addiction; as substance addiction can be overcome by substances  - porn cannot. …
  • So, the main reasons is that it was never done before, despite women being also holy, this was not seen in the OT , hence we do not do that? Is that about it?
  • I agree mabsoota, what a beautiful gesture he did towards our patriarch. Can someone explain to me: I thought that pope bartholemew was the head of the Greek Orthodox Church? Is pope theodoros under him? It's quite interesting that BOTH these …

  • OK Remenkimi, Let's do it by region or birth place. How many popes were born in Shoubra? According to Bishop Paula, being born in Shoubra is a blessing. I agree. We are all the best. Take a look at Pope Shenouda III - he served in Shoubra and…

  • Thanks Pauli Does anyone here have a list of languages that each one can speak? The first gift given to the apostles was the ability to speak in tongues, or languages. Which of the candidates are bilingual (Arabic/English). We need this! I'm FE…
  • Hey Qawe, My apologies if my statement came across as if I wanted to "trick" them. Its not tricking them. If someone says something incorrect, rather than say "You are wrong" - try to find the truth or paraphrase them so the truth comes out. That…

  • Hey Fr. Peter, Great to see you here developing this discussion. What does the Church offer in terms of a "cure" ? We offer an open door for repentance - that's great - but what about a  cure? What are your feelings? Do you have any reservations …
