I wont respond because your responses already throw away your position. BTW, you say this is not a salvation issue, yet you say I worship idols. Idol worshiping is a …
What is the difference Moses and Athanasius? I don't know, but then again what is the difference between Moses and my friend next door? You have no right to determine who a Saint is.
Good. You don't know the difference and neither do I. But the bur…
Thats it. You're on the Hot seet lol
Firstly, liking the saints to Elijah is not the same thing. You are giving the 'manmade' saints the same status as Biblical prophets.
What on Gods green earth is a man-made saint. What is the difference between a…
You cannot play both sides of the field. You promote soul sleep as a general rule, and when it is shown through the Transfiguration account that this is not true, you say that it is an exception. Well yes, typically saints do not appear, but that fa…
Be careful of blaming psychological matters, or person lack of motivation or spiritual faults on the devil. It makes one very weak in resolve against spiritual languor.

A slight correction.
O kirios metasoo is not a part of this hymn. These words are part of the hymn that directly proceeds this hymn (the ending of it.) The hymn is called "Shere theotoke."
It makes no sense to say "The Lord is with you" to the vi…

Not at all. Kissing the hand of a priest is a symbol of bowing to his priesthood and not him. Kissing the hand of a priest is not less than kissing a cross! Since in both acts, you do reverence to the God who has blessed the cross and the priesthood…

I'm not lacking love towards Muslims. But the point stands. Islam is Satanic since it rejects Christ. And we know that every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is the spirit of Antichrist.
What judgment is in saying that Islam is satanic? Yes …
A defense of Islam is not necessary. In matters of whether it is a peaceful religion, such a debate is unnecessary. As to whether or not it is true, the answer is that it is not. This is not a misconception. Islam is false. Period at the end. This i…
"Repentance changes adulterers into virgins." - St. Moses the Black
Do not fear. Continue in faith in the process of repentance and confession to a priest. The interesting thing, brother, is that Christ did some of his best work with adulterers and…
Zechariah the Prophet writes, "They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son." (Zech 12:10)

Can someone please give me their opinion, with respect and without making fun of my post. I'm here to seek advice from my sisters and brothers thought Christ. Thanks

I felt for you bro! I almost felt a schism coming along hehe. God help us all. I personally don't mind Leo of Rome. But that is for another time and another thread!

Christ loved you first? Or has Dawkins in his stupidity and self centered disgrace for intelligence found a way to deter you? Has Sam Harris in his fairy tales lied you into this falsehood. It is clear you are seeking fulfillment as we all are, but …
Hey Davidschanter,
Well I think we both agree then. Like I said, it is not a Magic pill that you eat and it saves you, but it is necessary for salvation. It can't be done without, but it is not all that is necessary. I don't know where you got the…
He means these lol. Man, only Stavro could make a staunch ecumenist like myself laugh at a joke like that. What can I say? 'Twas an excellent comeback!

No problem. Recall that word "Leepon" is actually spelled "loipon" although not pronounced thus. I suppose it is the same rule. Rem may confirm
Love you Qawe :)
