can you become a monk in your church, without having a college degree?

@tuffguytofiles

Yes. +bn

Question, ¿Isn't the use of icons a form of paganism for christians?

[zionget]

@SotoPanxo

NO way! There were MANY images in the Old Testament Temple BUT they were not to be worshiped, The Orthodox Church does not "worship" icons. +bn

BN, why did you specifically choose the Orthodox denomination and not any others? not implying you made a bad choice obviously, a great one in fact. but why specifically the Orthodox church?

[zionget]

@michaelzwarszawy

Growing up in Judaism I was accustomed to a liturgical style. Also, I was raised in learning the fine arts as my older sister was a librarian in the Arts Department.

Thus, both of these aspects combined, when I first walked into an Orthodox Church and struck by the liturgical beauty and the Icon Frescoes, I immediately said, "I"m Home!" +bn

You have some interesting videos.

Why would you ask for mercy to the son of god? and why not to god directly?

I don't subscribe to any religion but I have subscribed to your channel.

Hare Kṛṣṇa Brother Nathaniel Prabhu, this is a nice video. Thank you for taking the time to allow a glimpse into the life of Christian Monks. The prayer mentioned and uttered is powerful, and beautiful.

Hello, I have a question. Whats the big difference between Orthodox Christianity and Catholicism?

[nm5177]

also i was wondering if we could message back and forth because i need some guidence

[nm5177]

brother nathanel, you are the first monk i have ever seen on youtube, im deffinitely subscribing! I need your prayers, my spiritual father retired and moved to the St. Anthonys monastery in Arizona. I live in pennsylvania I feel as though God is testing me to see if I can now float in this burdening world without the lifevest of my loving spiritual father. I am also a first year in college so its an even bigger struggle to keep aware of my spiritual life

[youngosify]

Bless me Father,

Do you know of any prayers that you have found to be particularly useful in asking the Lord for discernment as to whether this is a calling one should accept? I have been praying (in reality fighting) about the prospect of entering the monastic life for around two years now.

In Christ,

Steve
