I think you have to realise that its not that important. You should fill yourself with spiritual literature instead of becoming too concerned with what they are saying to eachother or what they are not telling you.
Besides, nothing is really that i…

If you have serious doubts I think you should seriously research the Biblical creation as opposed to evolution.
That's a very terrible idea.

It's an absoloute impossibility that God does not exist. An athiest is a person who beleives that God does not exist and an agnostic is a person who does not know whether God exists.

My advice is go talk to your confession father, he would have much experience in these relationships and he is also a guy.
Also, it is much better breaking off an engagement than it is a marital relationship. In other words, it's bette…

Love is by choice. God commanded us to love one another. As such, love is not a feeling, for how can God command us to feel something? Does God command us to feel hungry?, feel thirsty etc? No.
Love is action.

At the end of the day we should strive to repent not just confess.
Repentance consists of
1. Seeking to be in the pressence of God
2. Regreting the sin that you commited
3. Deciding to never return to that sin
4. Confessing

Thanks guys for your posts, much appreciated.
Just with respect to these 3 books, 1 Esdras and 3 & 4 Maccabees, does the church advise against us reading them?
which brings me to my next point, how about the apocryphic books, such as the book …
But why doesn't the Coptic Orthodox church consider these books as second canonical also as in the case of the other deutrocanonical books such as Tobit and so forth.
why is there a lack of unity with respect to the books that are considered secon…
Seriously man, you are wasting your time!
There is little if no legal grounding behind your claims, but if your willing you can go speak to a solicitor/ attorney, and ask them for their professional legal opinion. I doubt it will vary much, but it …

Bro, good luck!
you're more likely to fail then succeed if you follow a court action. You will lose money, time, energy etc etc.
Basically, if you sue your not going to get anything back in terms of compensation, unless it be nominal damgaes.

1. For some reason I thought you were a man, hence the need for me to say I love you. I do not take this back, but wish to emphasis that this love is Aghabi love only, and not Eros love. (Perhaps filo love!)
2. I agree with you co…
I want to start a whole new topic thread with a different subject so that people can answer a question I have on the deutrocanonical book of tobit.
How do I create a whole new post subject area?
I love you man, especially the emphasis you placed on not becoming a monk.
To clarify to all, the becoming a monk option was a joke, but if you seriously consider it, then ask your confession father.
In any case, there is no presumption that you c…
