    Grandfather passed away

    Hi everyone, I was hoping that the CC community would pray for my grandfather who passed away Monday night. He passed peacefully in his sleep at 87. He was a great man. He was smart, funny, kind, helpful, and he always told great stories. I hope it isn't too strange to ask. Thank you everyone.

    About Grace

    What is it? Based on the way I have seen this term used, my understanding is that it is the mechanism through which God saves us. I might be 100% off on this, but that is why I am asking. I gather from the rules on this board that this can be a contentious topic, so I would like to be clear...

    A Bible Study Playlist

    https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAB40B518306C6149 I found this to be a useful resource as someone who is not well read in the historical context of the Bible. It is done by an Eastern Orthodox Father. Just wanted to post it for anyone else who may be interested. God bless!

    Hi everyone

    Add as much as you like! I am here for conversation! I agree, spiritual arrogance is almost more pernicious because for some it may be harder to detect than outright godlessness.

    Hi everyone

    Thank you for the compliment. Exploring the different ideas and disagreements is very interesting, it is what I like about philosophy. Unfortunately I am severely under-educated in most theological topics so I can't really participate in the debate in any substantive matter. But I enjoy...

    Bodybuilding advice

    Apologies if it is against the rules to post in older threads. But I recently learned that it is the last 5 or so reps before failure that promote the most muscle growth. I tend to aim for 10-15 reps, with the last rep being my failure point.

    Sleep is one area I tend to not give enough importance.

    Hi everyone

    Precisely. People today seem to revel in what is, for lack of a better word, demonic. It is sad that the media and popular culture promotes this kind of debauchery as 'living your fullest life.' I can only thank God that my ears were open to His words. Many of my peers reject the religious...

    MGTOW

    It depends on what you think it is I guess. If you take it as a message of self-improvement then it is good. Build yourself up and don't worry what some of the radical feminist types would think, embracing your masculinity is a good thing. If you use it as a reason to hate women or to...

    Choosing an Orthodox Christian Church

    I've been drawn to Orthodox Christianity and I was hoping to attend some services. I am having some difficulty in doing so however for two reasons. The first is that most of these Churches have strong national or ethnic roots which I do not share. I'm not Russian, Serbian, Macedonian...
