Hello all, I've been in hospital the last 4 days and I would greatly appreciate your prayers. I really want to be out of here by the 25th and my bloodtest and the MRI I'll be having in a few hours is going to determine that. Please keep me in your prayers. In Christ, Nicole.

So I know of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre as the place of the death and Resurrection but didn't know this happened every year! 1) how amazing is it?! Anyone had the privilege of seeing the ceremony and the Holy Fire in person? 2) why have I not seen or heard more about it around in...

So I was born, baptised, raised Catholic and have experience receiving communion in Catholic Churches. In my teens to only 3years ago I was a staunch atheist turned non-denom Protestant/Christian who didn't commune. So basically I haven't communed for almost 7 years... My mum wants to go to...

Hey everyone, So I was talking to my sister who struggles a lot with reconciling things that seem unfair or immoral with the morality of God. She is christian and we share 90% of the same truths about God, the church, etc... But she always comes back to this form of resentment/anger which...

Hello everyone! It's been a while.. I was just wondering what ya'll thought about the Pan-Orthodox Synod coming up next year? And what your hopes/ expectations are for it.. It's not very clear to me exactly what the topics of discussion are beyond church structure and jurisdiction issues but...

Hey everyone, A few days ago I was on another thread called 'One God or Three Persons' about a Unitarian asking questions about the Trinity. A poster contributed this (quoted) I have heard this or similar arguments from JW, muslims, etc to explain that the doctrine of the Trinity was...

Hey everyone, I know this question would be more suitable in a Pentecostal forum or something but I feel safer posting here... Can someone explain to me (preferably from past experience) what the modern/protestant based understanding of speaking in tongues is? I was watching some people on...

Hello everyone, So I saw this diagram trying to explain the Trinity but for the life of me I can't find it anymore on the web... Nonetheless it basically said something like each person of the Holy Trinity has separate but coinciding wills that do not disagree with each other... This doesn't...

Hi all, I had a really discouraging conversation today with a friend of mine who is ex orthodox. It seems she's had a really bad experience with some priests and comments they've made... Her issues included that: 1) according to this priest, infants who are not baptised cannot be saved and go...

Hello all, I was just wondering if there were any orthodox folks from Sydney on here. I've been inquiring into orthodoxy for a while now but I really can't connect to anyone to speak about some questions or clarifications I seek. I have seen a priest and while he is very nice he has not...

Greetings to all in the name of the Holy Trinity :) I pray that this question does not come off wrong or insult anyone, I am very interested in joining the Orthodox Church but as a present protestant church christian I have lots of questions that I hope to get clarification on, I trust that...

Just a general question on how Scripture was canonised in the Orthodox Tradition and an overview of the history... But also specifically what are the reasons that the Orthodox Church rejects OT books such as Enoch and Jasher when they are quoted in the NT? Thankyou in advance :) God Bless
