Irish Bag Pipes all the way! ;)

Taken in context, yes. The complication comes when trying to understand the context of what was written. I'm not sure you can have one without the other. You need to believe and understand the details in order to believe and understand the message properly. If I had to pick, I'd say the...

Yep...now, can you really think of a reason you would want to?

Let your fingers to the walking....Just open a phone book, and go to church. Being a little selfish, I suggest an Orthodox Church if at all possible...2,000 years of Christianity just can't be wrong! ;) On a slightly more serious note, pray (just talk), fast, and get in touch with a Priest to...

As an Orthodox Priest, I can tell you that I wear it because that is what people of today recognize as a Priest...there is no doubt when somebody sees me. Here a link that explains the "meaning". http://sunday.niedziela.pl/artykul.php?nr=200409&dz=wiara&id_art=00052 I have to agree with the...

For now, things unfortunately seem to point to an overwhelming "yes" as far as the downward trend continuing. I'm honestly not too worried about it though.

I hope everyone will consider purchasing a copy of the the OSB OT. I had the pleasure of talking to one of the translators (Mickey Hodges) at length about this after the Liturgy one Sunday, and he is confident it will be out no later than Pascha this year. He told me that the translations are...

Not me, but to be fair, I'm relatively new around here.

If you can provide a copy of the letter of recommendation from your Priest, name of your Parish, and give your good word/promise to send us pictures of your trip that we can share with others, then I will ask the Board of Saint Katherine Orthodox Church to pitch in a couple hundred dollars...

It's interesting to read, and remarkable for God to use him to remind us of what is coming, but really shouldn't be any more scary than anything else in Scripture about the end of this age. This should be good enough to keep our attention focused: (1 Thessalonians 5:2) For yourselves know...

In my experience, it's not really used much at all beyond reminders of what has already been said. Although reminders are good to keep us on our toes, no new revelation will come...the Orthodox Faith is that Faith delivered once for all to the saints (Jude 1:3). If anything, we would approach...

Every relationship is different, but when my wife wants to do all the chores, then I want to let her. :cool: Just be sure to show her how much you appreciate all that she does...I'm sure you can figure out something.

This is a weak, quick, response, but it's all I could find for now...hope it helps your research. http://religion-cults.com/Eastern/Hinduism/hindu2.htm Scroll down to the section called "The Gita".

I think you have a great point here. At least America, which is primarily made up of Christians, is trying to accomodate other beliefs and grant them freedom of religion. This cannot be said about many other countries where Christianity is in the minority...it's quite the opposite...thanks for...

I'm not really familiar with any teaching that says if you are able to prophesize about something then everything else you say is automatically accepted as iron clad truth. There is certainly a difference between real prophesy and just being good at determining cause/effect. If you were able...

Good grief! That's what I get for trying to fly through my response...my eyes must have been crossed when I read "omnipotent" (vs. "omnipresent"). Thanks for catching that for me and noting the correction.

As very highly evident in your history of posts, you are clearly not listening or opening your eyes.

If we give in to your viewpoint, then how is that not "forcing" me to believe like you? Besides, the definition of marraige is not 100% support by Christianity. For example, marraige in this country is considered more like a contract which terminates upon death. In Orthodox Christianity...

I'm Orthodox. Atheism lacks the Way, the Truth and the Life (Jesus Christ).

Not sure...have you asked them? Person, yes. Prophet, not a chance. I have not doubt that he had a real experience with a spirit, but I'd put my money on it being a demon. He did nothing to test the spirit that came to him. Rather, it grabbed him by the troat, scared him, and he believed...
