In Medium cooked steak the blood red color is due to lots of oxygen holding cells in the muscle (myoglobin), not blood cells.
You are in the clear there as there is no Hemoglobin, so it is not blood.
Ah ok. I always find it hard to tell whether a priest is serious or joking, so I play it safe.
Presumably in the Oriental Orthodox tradition we are not playing the hunting for loopholes games (As it appears my friend is) then? I know that in the we…
Abouna, that link is to the same thread as this.
It only discusses how well cooked the meat is and not Blood puddings and other blood based foods like this.
Hi all,
I want to resurrect this topic as I have just been in a discussion about this with a Romanian friend and do not want to start a new topic as people would just redirect me to this one.
I was discussing Black pudding (A type of blood sausag…
I do a lot on Tumblr with Eastern Orthodox on there to help spread the words of the Church Fathers and Apostolic teaching. We did have an 'Ask Orthodox' section where OO questions were referred to me some other Coptic, Syrian and Armenian Orthodox w…

The thing with mediums like facebook is that everyone uses them.
People do not read into things that are posted on it, whether it be news, scripture or status updates. People always gloss over it no matter who posts it.
Bishops will use it to adv…
Talmudic law is effectively post-temple interpretations of the Laws of Moses.
Since the Temple was destroyed the Jews had to reinvent their faith as there was no more Temple to Sacrifice at so the Rabbis of the time wrote commentaries on the Torah,…
I personally have trouble with the idea of 7 literal days. That may well be because of my secular upbringing and study of physics at school. I know that God can do anything and take however long he wishes to do something since he is working on a non…
As far as I see it, people can eat what they want. Their spiritual life is not effected by whether they are vegetarian or not as long as they keep their fasts.

When the first church split occurred the Copts (well, at least most of them) chose to become Oriental Orthodoxes instead of being Catholics or Eastern Orthodoxes…
What gets me is that he "decyphered" the bible (the cliche leather bound KJV no doubt) and found a date.

I think that a good dialogue with Catholics in the UK is essential, it will give us a nice buffer zone against angry Evangelicals. haha j/k

Interestingly enough I went to an Eritrean Orthodox Church a week or so ago and many of the older women there have large crosses tattooed on their foreheads.
From what I know it has been a tradition for a long time. I have been told before that whe…
In the UK, Grades go from A-F
Anything under a C is practically a fail by any employer's standards, but you still get the certificate as you did not get a U (ungraded).
I Got an A in english :-[
But B's and C's in everything else, expcept music which I got an E in. :'(
Now funnily enough I am a teacher, and harsher than yours it seems, since I hardly ever give A's.
Just try your best, if you are getting a B in…

Thank you for this Simplycoptic.
if you have noticed, I have recently had a similar problem with an ex-girlfriend of mine, where I still liked her but really had no rational reason for doing so.
This advice will really help. :)

Do you know what is that and how do we, as Orthodox, feel about it?
Thanks
