Re: "We should take time to explain ourselves" if we use the word "cult".

Dear friend,
You use an ad hominem approach, which is an unacceptable, logical fallacy. You have nothing valid to say, so you label me "immature". You also label the EOC a "pharisaical cult". Your whole argument is that the EOC is a pharisaical cult because "Strangelove says so."
The pharisaical cult of Judaism did write its own talmud. If you are saying that the EOC is just like the pharisees of Judaism, who reject the Divinity of Jesus Christ, you have failed to show that the EOC is in any way like the writers of the Talmud. The unbelieving Jews of Judaism blaspheme against Christ.
You make false accusations, and that is sad.
And I have been totally fair to you. I didn't say things against you personally.
God bless you.

Re: "We should take time to explain ourselves" if we use the word "cult".

Strangelove, You say, "It is!", because you say that "it is". But you haven't proven that it is! You just make wild accusations, and you assume, with prejudice, that it is a temple cult; you also by implication are impugning the ministry of the Jews who believed in God in the Old Testament. They all obeyed God by offering animal sacrifices. Christ only let us know by His prophecy of the temple's destruction that these sacrifices of animals must stop once He had sacrificed Himself, offered Himself as THE only true sacrifice of God for the sins of the world, for the sins of mankind. God bless you.

Re: "We should take time to explain ourselves" if we use the word "cult".

Dear friend
The accusations are false and in a way refute themselves. They are known to people who receive the wisdom from above to be false. People should know the Bible and Church history once they have reached the age of 40. As for Luther, many or most of your doctrines if you are a Protestant derive from Martin Luther. You don't just read Scripture for yourself devoid of all context; you read it in the context of Protestant (or, if you are a papist, Papist) history. And from Luther's perspective. Or one of the many Protestant, man-made denominations: 38,000 and increasing every day!
Dear eternallygratfull, What claim that strangelove made did I fail to refute. His whole argument is, "I say Eastern Orthodoxy is a cult; therefore, it is a cult!" Faulty logic: that is, illogical! False thinking!
God bless you. In Erie PA USA Scott R. Harrington
VIVA LUTHER!

FREEDOM OF RELIGION FOR ALL, provided they are not breaking the Laws of the Land (which those two do...but prosecute them on those grounds...not because the crowd cheers for it since its another religion).
That's precisely why those two should be taken down. I mentioned the FDLS and what they do elsewhere, their leader is a sick freak.

Yes I do seriosly believe it. We have the Holy Spirit to guide us.

(John 16:13) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Better than being guided by a bunch of cult leaders.



Pharisees.

Comparing bishops to the Pharisees, like I haven't seen that one before. Very shady and underhanded tactic your using there "Look! They dress similarly therefore they must be the same!"

You may want to try more substantiative comparisons because by doing this all your doing is preaching to the fundamentalist choir.

Pomp and ceremony
traditions that nullify Gods Word.
Authorotative priestly hierarchy
Temple worship
Praying to be seen of men
Seek earthly dominion
Obvious connections to freemasonry
Idolatry
Sorcery
Communication with familiar spirits

that goes for both EOC and RCC and indeed third wave christian zionism/charasmatics.

PHARISEES. HYPOCRITES.

Your clearly too immature to tell the truth to people in love.

Much easier to be everyones friend right?

(James 4:4) Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

You've "told him the truth" once already. Continuing to do so is just annoying at best, and harassment at worst. You've crossed that line a few posts back.

Make a thread like Scotts and I'll elaborate all you want.
I'd rather you elaborate on it here so me and you can discuss it instead of a bunch of others muddying it up.

With so many cults and new cults being created all the time, I have this to say.

If it don't line up with the Bible, bada bing, strike one, its a cult.

I can't make it any plainer then that.
