[Lamb]

[MENTION=33]George[/MENTION] since you are only active Eastern Orthodox, when you have time could you give some insight on how the Orthodox view created and uncreated energies please?

It's so rare to see a question asked of one who comes from the relevant faith tradition. Three cheers for asking it of George, Lämmchen.

I find it sad that a Catholic only considers the EOC denominations to come from a "RELEVANT" faith tradition.... so much for the rest of us (this coming from one who says Protestants are "anti-Catholic." I hasn't seen one Protestant here (certainly not me) who has EVER stated that Catholicism is irrelevant or the tradition of your denomination is irrelevant. Jesus' log/speck point springs to my mind.

Hi Lamm
Any chance you could expand on this so a dummy like me can get it?
It sounds interesting, but I'm not too up on the concepts much beyond God is the uncreated creator and everything else is His creation. Thx

What are you suggesting by THE RELEVANT faith tradition?

What are you suggesting by THE RELEVANT faith tradition?

Coming from the Catholic who complains about unkind things said about Catholics and their denomination....

Log/speck....

It is explained in the first post.

No, you are deliberately being antagonistic against others not of your faith tradition. I didn't think this is allowed on this forum.

Here's a good place to start being that its actually coming from an Orthodox priest. As he states many Orthodox don't or haven't experienced it although God graced me with His uncreated 'energies' at an Orthodox service once and it's profound and life changing. It has a tendency to dissipate and left me after three or four hours. But know I can understand where we get the stories of conversion from those torturing church martyrs.

If you share Josiah's prejudices then we have nothing to talk about on this matter.

No, it is YOU MC, not Josiah, and not me. You started this. I am starting a thread in the senior members section about this so the OP can be addressed.

Just out of curiousity where is the senior members section?

We have a private forum for members who have been on the site from nearly the beginning. They are helping staff stay on track and figure things out as we grow

Friend, YOU are the one who implied our faith traditions are irrelevant. NO ONE here at CH (least of all me) EVER indicated that the faith traditions of your denomination are "irrelevant." Yet.... you are the one who whines about folks being "anti" you and Catholics and the RCC. Hum.

You are entitled to your opinion (however "anti-Protestant"). You simply got called on the irony of YOU being the one who whines about when unkind things are said about your denomination.... Since you dish it out, then... well.....

We'll see if this video helps keep the thread on track

Hey the relevant faith member! Hi George!

Hey the relevant faith member! Hi George!

Yes, Hi George! I don't know that we've met or interacted much if so. Are you the George that just had a birthday? If so, Happy Birthday, George. If not ... Happy Birthday, George.
I've heard many things about you from a few people here ... But I chose not to believe them. Nobody could be THAT bad!
:=D:
Ok, ok, just kidding around. God bless you today.

As if no one Googles I was hoping for a more personal revelation?
