Random Questions!

Heey guys...
dis isnt really my account its my bros but he let me ask something just cause im too lazy to make my own one....

i have a few random questions...

::)
ummmm, firstly..
1. is there a site or something in which i could get arabic and english taraneem cause i really loooove those??? if anyone knows a couple of sites, id really appreciate the feedback...(other than this site k?)

2. I was at youth group and an interesting thought hit me...we were reading the bible and/or getting examples to backup the lesson and it was all refering to men!!!! like it was all..."If man shall...or When all MEN are...Men shall be....uno men!! then one of the girls was like so is the bible like sexist???? not meaning it offensively offcourse!!! soo i started thinking...i mean y is it all about men???? and y couldn't there be WO-men disciples...WO-men leaders uno??? i just dont feel it to be very equal....when i know that GOd loves us the same...so ya sum answers pwez!!!

3. WHY THE SUFFERING??? this was also a topic at youth group....(seems to be the place making problems lol) ok what i mean is....abouna for example...hes in black..im told that that is because he devoted his life to God and is therefore DEAD TO THE WORLD...but that doesnt make sense to me...because theoritically if God made the world for us sooooooo wonderful so that we can enjoy it..why would someone choose to live dead to the beautifully created world that GOD HIMSELF made for us to live in...im sure that He would have wanted us to enjoy it and make the most of it rite?????

4. WILL ASPECTS OF OUR CHURCH NEVER CHANGE??? i love our church and all but simple rules and traditions sort of annoy me to be quite honest..like
(a) why is it that men and women are seperated during the mass??? i mean we all come together as ONE to hear the word of GOD and therefore if we are truely together why let materialistic things get in the way we do things???
(b) this one is similar to (a) but why are we seperated for communion???? Again we come together to recieve the body and blood of our lord Jesus Christ...why then are we seperated as such???

5. In the holy Bible...it speaks about entering heaven if ONLY we are baptised the way that WE (the Orthodox) are...im abit confused on that one because i believe that all christians (Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Anglican...etc) that have a strong relationship with God will also enter heaven...i know GOD is the one to Judge and he judges every1 according to their hearts tho so i ges i just sort of contridicted myself in a way...

I promise dat was the last one for 2day hehehe...
God bless ya'll
Cheers big ears!

Q 3 ---> Dead to the world of sin!
Saints maybe are those most able to enjoy the world .. because they see the acts of God in such simple things.. looking up at the sky with amazement ? or just looking anywhere like a bird they will contemplate see things others dont see and praise God ...

Q 2: men is used as a default. by Men, it is meant Mankind as a whole. the two meanings are sometimes hard to tell apart.

maybe they were not disciples because then priests could be women too .. Priest represents Christ .. who was a male.. therefore women couldnt represent Christ .. know what I mean? I think there might be many more reasons if this isnt true or even if it is.

also about the priests wearing black...some1 asked that before...too, its not necessarily that they are "dead to the world" because they dont pray, the "prayer of the dead" on priests, they do only on monks and nuns symbolizing that they are dead to the world, i read,

In the book Youth Concerns by bishop Moussa
it says
Why do priests wear black hats and black clothes:

The priest's hat is shaped like a dome, representing the fact that the priest belongs to the church. As for the black clothes, there are 3 types of people who wear black: the lawyers, the judges, and the university professors. Thus the priest wears black because he is a lawyer who defends us before God, he is a judge who hears our confessions and gives us the absolution, and he is a professor who teaches us Christianity.

There are protestants who do full water immersion baptism and catholics I think... maybe they are judged on what they know? noone told them maybe? but then again studying the bible will make it clear..

Why are men seperated from women?
Bishop Moussa I think said its simply a matter of concentration in the mass. And girls go last to take communion because girls are meant to be more humble

Christ4Life · October 2005

What?????? What do you mean more humble? Why can't men be humble too?

By the way, some priests do one man and one woman, not all go all men then all women...

Howdy, Stranger!
