Heresies are in your twisted head.

I honor her, yes. Yesterday, we observed her dormition.

God's actions do not bring death for He IS love, life and light. People's sins bring death to themselves. And sin means separation from God. Death is the absence of life. If you think about Pharaoh and Moses, Pharaoh was already spiritually death (separated from God) Moses was IN God so the...

The icon above is called The descent to Hades. Jesus Christ takes Adam and Eve by their wrists and pulls them out of their graves. Below, two angels are binding death (which is personified). There is John the Baptist on the right side of the icon, He has long hair and has a papyrus in his...

Hymns of Holy Saturday When he took down Your immaculate Body from the Cross, the honorable Joseph wrapped it in a clean linen shroud with spices and laid it for burial in a new tomb. When You descended unto death, O Lord who yourself are immortal Life, then did You mortify Hades by the...

We welcome everyone too. It's their mental idols we don't welcome. God bless you too! I try to spend less time online.

God has no one to lose.

May God bless your family and give you joy! I think you are right about not being the same people. I leave you with this short video of Jesus entering in Jerusalem. It will make you smile again. :)

Christ is risen! Thank you for your replies. I don't have the energy and time to reply to each comment. Especially because I know that my comments would ensue more comments and I don't have time to carefully read them and answer them. Sorry! @Eli1 I admit I am saddened by the fact you, an...

No. Each orthodox country has a Patriarch. I do not know the answer to those questions. I'm sorry. I know that the end of the world is preceded by certain signs: 1.) the predication of the gospel to all nations, 2.) the conversion of the Jews to Christianity, 3.)the multiplication of sin and...

It's my poor choice of words. Next time, I'll be more careful.

Yes. That's right. We seldom use the word presbyteros... :unsure: I had to look up the Nicolaitan sect and what I found isn't related to the hierarchy in church. This is in theory... because in practice... it's a different story. All priests and deacons I know are married. Monks are...

Yes. That's the reason I created this. To share with people something I believed is worth sharing. You are right, "despise" is too much; maybe "lack of consideration" would be more appropriate. This is how I received your message: with a sort of condescendence towards me, my post, the icon and...

I have a curiosity: do you reject any depiction of Jesus Christ or only the iconic depiction of Him?

Yes. I did say that. I used "feminine" as an adverb for the verb "to sit", not as a qualificative adjective for Jesus Christ...

Exactly! He doesn't seek to comply to our worldly ideas and expectations of how a king should look like. Although Jesus Christ is being loyal to the prophecy of Zechariah (Zechariah, 9:9), it looks like His own people forgot it or believe it's just... I don't know... a verse to be commented in...

No, it's not. When the Church separated, the western one took the name "catholic" and the other one (the eastern one) took the name "orthodox". Catholic means "universal" and orthodox means "correct worship".

I belong nominally to the Eastern Orthodox Church. The Church One is the Church before the Great Schism. I am ecumenical and believe we should all (this includes my Orthodox Christian brothers and sisters) return to the sources of Christianity in order to understand our faith and know the...

I believe this is called kairos. When God's call is met with our response. And this is an unforgettable encounter, the true worship in spirit and truth. We are all called to repent (the gr. word for it is "metanoia" - renewal of the mind) in order to acquire the thought of God. All our life...

I think there's a misunderstanding here. I never said Jesus Christ was effeminate... I really don't know what to reply to this... :unsure:. You mean why do they represent him with long hair and both feet on the same side? We consider Moses, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to be our...
