    The fall

    Not all of my theories make it to heaven... Let alone expanded explanations... :) Arsenios

    The fall

    Which Protestant Church will actually enforce Church Dogma... Heck, the Roman Catholic Pope believes heresy by Roman Catholic standards, and they will not correct him... Our Ecumenical Patriarch is going off the rails too, for that matter... But at least it is headed for a resolution... EOC...

    The fall

    John the Baptist was one, and yes, I personally know three... They are not exactly low hanging plentiful fruit, you know... :) Of course they do... Of course they do... And they DISCIPLE all the nations... You cannot have blind guides guiding the blind... They were discipled by Christ...

    Are Catholics boring catechists?

    Well, I am an Ancient Faith Eastern Catholic and I can tell you that we are not rule-bound legalists worshiping Mary... And having said that, I can tell you this: I met a guy who grew up in an eastern block country who was a Roman Catholic... And when I told him I was Orthodox and asked him if...

    IS GOD A RESPECTER OF PERSONS?

    Well, Jonas was a Typos of the Rebirth of Christ from the Tomb - Indeed from the jaws of Death itself in Hades - The human nature Christ took on for us did NOT want to die on the Cross, but was obedient to the Father with Whom He ontologically IS ONE... Jonas did not want to go either... Yet...

    Original thought.

    Once the Worshipping Body of Christ is not THE Interpreter of the meaning of Holy Writ... But it becomes instead a matter of PhD officianados... Then the Holy Book is just another volume on the shelf... Opinions are like belly-buttons - Everyone has one... Arsenios

    Why don't Muslims believe Jesus died on the cross?

    The question I have for Muslims is tri-fold: [1] Do you know the Arabic word for LOVE? (yes) [2] How many times does this word appear in the Koran? (zero) [3] Are there any other questions? (huh??) Christianity is the Faith of Love... The Koran does not even know the word... Take your...

    The fall

    Forgive the broad brush... Here is the meaning: If one looks at the Apostolic Churches NOT in Communion with the Latin Church of the West, one finds all of them disagreeing with Latin Scholastic Dogmas for the same reasons - And this even for those not in Communion with each other over some...

    The fall

    So two questions come to mind: (1) - Does this mean that only angelic human beings know the way? Or that no human being knows the way? (2) - If Christ alone knows the way, does this mean the Apostles do not? eg - What is the purpose of discipling the nations? Arsenios

    NATIVE AMERICAN ORTHODOXY - THE CHURCH IN ALASKA

    Really and true? That is wonderful news! Where? How many? How long? I recall the docu-movie "The End of the Spear" had one for awhile through martyrdom in South America, but that it is struggling to keep it going... Arsenios

    NATIVE AMERICAN ORTHODOXY - THE CHURCH IN ALASKA

    The fall

    Well, the Orthodox Church invites people to embrace the Patristic consensus of understanding for Biblical interpretation... The Latin Church invites people to embrace the Scholastic tradition of its own Church's understanding... Luther was offended by Rome's corruption and cast out not merely...

    M/C this post is by far the best post I have seen you post here ever... Thank-you... Arsenios

    The fall

    You are probably right - Yet tracing the lineage and timelines might avail some fruit... Going to the online catechism is one way... Going to the Patristic writings is another... Going to Luther would be...??? :) Arsenios

    IS GOD A RESPECTER OF PERSONS?

    Thank-you - You can see the problem... So not all are Called to repentance... But CLEARLY Israel was called... And CLEARLY they did not repent... Only a few did so, and we are left with remnant theology... Respectable in my view... I have been arguing with God on that one for some time now...

    Pastor preaching watered down sermons

    Well, if you want one that is totally unlike anything you are familiar with, and seriously out of this world... Walk into an Orthodox Service and be a fly on the wall... Just sayin'! And light a prayer candle for your son... Arsenios
