    Smollett charges dropped

    He had already been indicted by a Grand Jury... Based on only one item of evidence presented, with much more available and established... And the prosecutor intervened to drop the charges... It stinks of elite left wing political privilege... Arsenios

    God still chooses.

    Congratulations! Yet to be fair, I must add that my hindsight is 20-20 just like yours... And to continue in this new fairness doctrine, Jesus was only speaking to the elect too, right? He was speaking only to the chosen and elect people of God, the Jews... And they all KNEW they were the...

    God still chooses.

    9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. Are you arguing that the opposite of death is repentance from sin? Who could argue against that? Arsenios

    What about human suffering? How can God allow it?

    Some of us prefer to die for our love of God... You're a-gonna get us killed for bad jokes... Arsenios

    Experiment.

    By taking on human form He did not add to the Nature of God... That view would be heresy... Arsenios

    Experiment.

    The only "natural form" I know is Jesus Christ... A very human form indeed... What was it He said? "If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father..." (?) Arsenios

    Layman's questions on the Apocryphal...

    I found this on an OCA website: https://oca.org/questions/scripture/canon-of-scripture The Old Testament books to which you refer— known in the Orthodox Church as the “longer canon” rather than the “Apocrypha,” as they are known among the Protestants —are accepted by Orthodox Christianity as...

    Be merciful.

    Do you think we should, therefore, as good and staunch and upright and merciful Christians... That we should drag up every instance of Islamic ideological crimes against humanity... And point at the dirty-dog perpetrators of those horrific crimes?? They are legion, you know... And try to gin...

    Working With Your Hands vs Going to College

    That is what is happening now, as rich families are bribing their kids educations for them... And heading to jail, it would seem... Monastic callings are a good thing... Arsenios

    Working With Your Hands vs Going to College

    The older I got, strange to say, the smarter my dumb dad seemed to get... After he died, he became positively brilliant across the years! Took me YEARS to recover from having attended college... Still run across an occasional vestigial remnant, I say! Learning manual work is training in...

    Garden of Eden - Humans Making Their Own Morality

    I do not think this is true... The real reason we stand in the Mystery of the Faith is because fallen human intellectual knowledge is utterly incapable of apprehending God... The problem, in your terms, is that we CAN and DO exert real morality... But morality is self-generated, apart from...

    What about human suffering? How can God allow it?

    Those are not Orthodox questions! Easy enough to answer... Actually, bad things happened to Jesus... Do you want to follow Jesus? Col 1:24 Who am now rejoicing in my sufferings for you, and filling up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake...

    Be merciful.

    No one is defending the murderer... Have you prayed for him MC? Have you shed tears for the salvation of his soul? Or is this just politics? Arsenios

    PERFECT LOVE

    That is how deception works... I knew for an undisputed fact that the God I know is absolutely NOT the Christian God... And I know God... He had to tell me He IS the God of Christians... I was scandalized... And I was wrong... He showed it to me much later, when I encountered the Orthodox...

    Disciples and Believers

    Are we commanded, as Christians? To ask in order that we receive? Is this Command of Christ recorded in the Bible? Do you believe the Bible? Do you believe Christ? Are you arguing that we are commanded NOT to ask for Grace and Salvation? Arsenios
