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...

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...

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...

Hello everyone. First of all, I want to salute you all because it's been a long while since I did not post here, I've seen that the forum changed but I hope none of you changed, and I also hope you are all well! I have this question that keeps troubling me and I think I need to speak to others...

Hello everyone and is very nice to see you again :D I have a huge problem with this, I think I may have discussed it before but I need help with this again. So, my point starts with this: "32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in...

Hello guys, nice to see you again! I have two questions: 1. What should I do when someone around me insults the Orthodox Church or christianity in general?. (When something like this happens I always try to explain, but I have seen that explaining is fruitless and only intensifies their insults...

Hello guys. I am troubled by this question, which political ideology fits our Church the best? Socialism, capitalism (economical), liberalism... You know...

Hello guys and God bless you all. I have a question which I have been debating it with my friends, if sin is viewed primarily as damage rather than a legal infraction, in what sense do we need forgiveness from God? Or perhaps a better question would be to what degree is sin not just damage but...

Hello! I have read that the Fathers often talk about "noetic knowledge of God" and that the soul is noetic. How is this knowledge obtained and what is it? Thanks and Christ is risen!

Hello guys, I am glad to see you again in this forum! I came here with a question; can someone explain the essence-energies distinction to me in an easy and comprehensible way? How does it differ from Actus Purus? Thank you. And last but not least, Christ is risen!

This is a very odd question but it is a problem I have. 90% of time when I am praying I have the feeling that I am saying words in the air, and the cause is that I don't know who am I talking to, I don't know who to have in mind when I pray. When I talk, I know who am I talking too because I...

Hello, I have a toph question and I don't know if I can surely explain myself. If redemption in the Orthodox Church is seen as a process of transformation, like a cacoon transforms into a butterfly, what's the point in death-bed conversions or asking God for forgiveness? Forgiveness makes sense...

Hello guys. Recently, reading some Catholic articles and I have read that a Catholic is that who is united to the Pope. Fair enough, but that raised me the question; who is an Orthodox? I mean, how can we define who is an Orthodox?

Hello guys. I am here to ask you some doubt I have, how does one become excommunicated from the Church? I mean, in my youth (now I am 18yo, lol), I mean, starting from 14yo to 17yo I didn't consider myself a christian anymore and started being an atheist/wiccan/pagan/agnostic, did that...

Hello guys. Letting hard theological arguments apart, I am here to discuss with you my favourite movie, "Doubt", which I am sure the majority of you watched (since it has a Catholic thematic), and if you didn't, you should! I find it marvelous and smartly arranged, intrigant and elegant in...

Hello here to all catholics. I have a question that has been wandering my mind, how does the church of Rome "make peace" between the different practices among herself? Let me explain. For example, communion is to be taken with full knowledge of what communion is, else is sacrilege, so infants...

There is something that I didn't really understand at all. Let's have a hypothethical case, you go to confession and you confess "I have stealen" (and you have stealen many times in your life) and you get forgiveness from God through the priest, if after that, you commit the sin of stealing...

Hello guys. I am having some hard time understanding my favourite sacrament, Confession, and I want to be sure about it. I will make some questions: 1. In the Sacrament of Confession the sins we cleanse from the sins we confess to the priest automatically? So, when I die, on the judgement, God...

Hi guys. I am here to ask you about what's up with all the Catholic theology on marriage, why can't divorced take communion and so on, and what's different with us, Orthodox, why is our view better and theirs is not? Why do we allow people to marry again? You know, all about this subject... God...
