    Gender pronouns

    Thank you all for your answers. I did not expect these many. I did not face this myself yet, but I have always disagreed with people and yet did not fight with them at all. I have come into contact with many active sodomites or fornicators, for example, many of whom are friends of mine, and not...

    Gender pronouns

    Christ is risen! Greetings to everyone. It has been a long time since I have posted here. I hope everyone is alright. I come with a question that has been bothering me and that is current in our society. I am talking about the so called "gender pronouns" that are used by people who call...

    As a Christian is it alright to meditate?

    Meditation, meaning thinking about God's salvation, about the patriarchs, about the prophets, about the apostles, about the saints and about their lives is indeed useful and needed, in order to achieve what they did, but meditation as the pagans (yogis, hindus, buddhists...) is sinful, indeed...

    How Inclusive Should Church Be?

    Everyone who repents can come and be part of the congregation, but not unrepentant and active sinners.

    The validity of confession

    So, once we have received a sacrament, nothing that we do can annul it? I mean, just because I have wondered or doubted that God forgave me at Confession and gave Himself to me at Communion doesn’t mean that He retracted what He gave me because of my doubts or questions?

    The validity of confession

    I have another question regarding this subject. Do you believe that because one has doubted or had questions about his confession or other sacraments, those sacraments are no longer effective? I mean, I had doubts about confession and about whether or not the eucharist I received was effective...

    The validity of confession

    God bless you, brothers and sisters! May the Lord have mercy on the victims of hurricane Irma, I know the US is going through a very rough time right now and my heart is with all the americans in this forum. I wanted to say this beforehand, because I feel like I don't have much to do from Europe...

    Hopko and Schmemann?

    It is interesting to me what you said about "when in doubt, ask God for discernment", ArmyMatt, since you made it sound so easy. My question is now, is it really that easy? The thought that I am not good enough or holy enough for God to talk to me and tell me what is right or wrong in an issue...

    Hopko and Schmemann?

    Thank you a lot for your comments, they really were helpful. My spiritual father recommended them to me without any problem and here, in Romania, there is a very positive attitude towards them (I say this because of the amount of works of theirs translated that we have) but you really did help...

    Hopko and Schmemann?

    God bless you all, brothers. I am happy to post here again, and I really hope that you all are fine and healthy. I have a question that I thought it would be better to post here since I believe you are more familiarized with the question. I have read in a group online that is considered...

    Prayers for H.H. Pope Tawadros and the 40 martyred in attack on Two Coptic Churches on Palm Sunday

    Lord have mercy on the families of these new martyrs, but Lord, have mercy also on the attackers and on the terrorists who did this, guide them to the Light and to Thy kindness and make them see that what they are doing is wrong!

    What to do when someone has a different opinion?

    I want to thank you all because of your answers, aren't they inspiring and helpful? So, in your opinion, won't God punish me for not correcting other people when they err?
