Unworthy1 I was just as skeptical at first but the servant isn't much older than 40, and hes a veryy well respected servant in our church so I doubt I was misinformed. Just like Father Peter said the act of smoking in itself isn't the sin, but lett…
I dont think its that black and white imikhail. Yes smoking is clearly bad for you, but it isn't something thats actually prohibited by the church. A servant in my church was telling me recently how in his lifetime priests even used to be smokers …
I actually wouldnt doubt that it might be a demon. Think about it, the child goes into sudden shock for 20 minutes, extrememly sick and a fever that wont go down by any means according to the mother. Sounds like for those 20 minutes he is overcome…

That's quit impressive doubting thomas, but the bible says "everything is lawful for me, but not everything is beneficial for me" Drinking in it self is lawful for us as chrisitians, however, will it really benefit you? I mean just because one dri…

oh ya and as orthodox 11 said we do have many missions aroudn the world, in the US, in Hawaii, in Fiji, in Africa, etc etc, just theyre not as....outspoken.... as the other missionaries of other denominations who force their ideas in someones face, …
i was actually at a youth convention last year, and the topic of the discussions for that yeaar was orthodoxy, with sermons liek what is orthodoxy, livign orthodoxy, etc and the last one was preaching orthodoxy. Just as orthodox 11 said, all the bi…

well about saint cyril, he never denied christ's humanity, in turn he said that we was full human, but at the same time he was fully divine, perfect in his divinity and perfect in his humanity, not having one compensate for the other. As was said …
Singing hymns is considerd one of the highest forms of praise. Just as David the prophet says in the psalms a myriad of times "praise the lord with a joyful song". So hymnology was actually originated way before chrisitainty as even the jews obvio…
