His Grace Bishop BASIL addresses questions children frequently ask:
- Do Pets go to Heaven?
- Why aren’t girls allowed to cross their legs while in church?
- What is the Western Rite?
- How far is too far in terms of the physical aspects of a relationship?
- Why do little children die?
- Why, after all these years, are the Orthodox jurisdictions in this country still divided?
- If we go to hell, can we ever get to heaven?Why doesn't the Church allow non-Orthodox Christians to receive Communion?
- What is the meaning of cutting someone's hair when he gets baptized?
- If you were brought up by non-Orthodox parents or not in the Orthodox Faith, does that mean you automatically go to hell?
- Do we as Orthodox Christians take the Genesis account of Adam and Eve literally, or are they figurative characters?
- Is there anything in the Bible that gives reference to dinosaurs, because they have been proven to have existed? Isn't this troubling as we don't believe in the theory of evolution?
- If God is all-knowing, doesn't this negate our free will?
- As Moses and Elias were only mortal men, wouldn't they have suffered the same fate as all those who came before Christ, including Adam and Eve, who were only freed from Hades when Christ descended there?
- What is the difference between the Orthodox and the Roman Catholic understandings of original sin?
- What came first, the Bible or the Church?
- Are Angels higher than man, or is it the other way around?Are there any people, besides Christ, who are now in heaven not just in soul, but physically as well?
- If a person has led a good life and not broken any of the Ten Commandments, but isn’t a Christian, are they still condemned to hell?
