I agree with Liza on this one. Keep politics out of the Church.
Say that to Patriarch Cyrill. I will be glad to, after kissing his hand. Selam The people "protecting" the churches of Moscow would never let you or your family inside a church without much scrutiny. Forgive my ignorance but why not? His wife and children are black and many Russians beat Blacks (including people from Caucasus and Central Asians). Sad, but isn't some russians caucasian themselves? That isn't supposed to be logical. |

Unbelievable!
Are you becoming a messianic jew? No certainly not. They have corrupted the scriptures by animal sacrifices, genital mutilation, and genocide. The Jews are a perverse people. They have also denied the messengers. Then can you tell us where you've gotten your new religion? Who else is part of it? Do they have a website? Every true religion has a Web site AND an Internet forum. The Web site tells you everything they believe and the forum is for catechesis and philosophical discussion. It has always been this way. |

Of course he missed my point. Reading comprehension?
If you noticed the phrases I bolded, I was pointing out that the Peters twins (who are not the only "twincest" stars; there are even some triplet porn stars) are very popular celebrities in the "gay community", enough to double an already very popular porn site's traffic and to be paraded about in South Florida's gay scene. And why wouldn't they be popular? Having sex with yourself is the apotheosis of narcissism, even more than having sex with a member your own sex.
Is it not strange to you that 2 of the 3 biggest spectator events in California are public exhibitions of gay sex in all its fetish varieties?
Like I said, that's just a sample. The "gay community" is at the cutting edge of decadent perversion although the "straight" world is working hard to catch up.
You are quite up to date on this stuff. Are you a seminarian? |

To take a harsh interpretation of a canon above the 'love' that should exist within a person's heart for a fellow man is very Pharisaical I should think. Besides do you have any idea of how many canons exist in the Orthodox Church and how well they are followed by the average so called 'Orthodox' Christian? And here I'm talking about canons that will help one achieve spiritual perfection, not canons that will do the opposite to those that are pre disposed. If you really want to find out, best you visit an Elder in one of the Elder Ephraim's monastery and let him tell you. For one, you are not allowed to receive the Eucharist without confession, not to mention following the Orthodox Fast days which exceed the non Fast days during the year, etc., etc. Anyway I don't follow a lot of them, although I have received dispensation on some foods. No ones perfect.  The church fathers writing the canons took love into consideration. Those canons express true love. The problem is that our period makes a confusion between christian love and sentimentalism between christian love and relativism. The church fathers were wiser than you, the Church is wiser than you and being in the church is adopting its point of view and not picking such thing that suits you, rejecting this other because you don't like it. You first asked why it was forbidden to commune with the heretics. We replied explaining : you can accept it or not but it is not worth arguing about this with your personal interpretation because you are neither the Church nor a saint. Of course we shouldn't commune with heretics, but that's not my concern. My concern is if the RCC and the Protestants are really heretics since they follow the Creed, or if they are simply incomplete and lack the fulfillment of the Orthodox Church towards Theosis? I know some of the teachings of other Churches might not be as accurate as in the Orthodox Church, but then again how many people within the Orthodox Church know and follow all the correct teachings anyway? Besides shouldn't God's Grace be sufficient? How can we limit how or where God should give it? As for everything being relative, I should think relativity would have more to do with the maintaining of ones morals and ethics as well as the very basic tenets of the Christian faith, than whether or not we follow certain traditions. Anyway I know I'm annoying you, so just ignore me. I've heard it said this way: If you're 99% orthodox and 1% heretic, you're still a heretic. A priest asked "if I had a big tray of brownies, and put a teaspoon of dog poop in it, would you still eat the brownies? Great analogy! |

The Slavons were such a Christian, holy people, that they never left church. That's why we call it Church Slavonic. Sometime around the time the Mongols destroyed Kiev, the Slavons who were left mysteriously vanished. Some say they were taken up to heaven like Elias. Even today, there is many a good priest who will tell you we will all speak Church Slavonic in heaven. And it's just so.

I have seen a website by an American man who converted to the Orthodox faith. In it he says that the true Orthodoxy is lost since the reformations in 1666 in the Russian Empire which led to the split between the contemporary Orthodox and the Old Believers. This man is an Old Believer and says that today's Orthodoxy has deviated from the true path. In his opinion English is also not a language in which scripture or other holy things can be transmitted through as it is created by witches and is not an original but created language. Furthermore he also says that the use of electricity and imitation of non-Orthodox peoples is also part of this devation. Therefore I would like to ask if what he says is true? Is the Orthodoxy we see today the original Orthodox faith or is it corrupted?
He believes that the use of electricity is a deviation from the Orthodox faith... But he has a website. Interesting. |

American Protestant decoder ring key:"Non-Denominational" refers to low-church evangelicals who are holding evangelical youth groups for adults. "House Church" or "House Church Network" refers to evangelical youth bible study groups for adults, possibly with restorationist undertones. "Emergent" refers to intra-Christian syncretic evangelicals who utilize American "indie" or "hipster" methodology to form their ecclesiology, theology and praxis. "Ecumenical" (when referring to a denomination or local church) refers to intra-Christian syncretic, high church vagante groups which may be loosely affiliated with Anglicanism, the ELCA and/or Roman Catholicism; possible syncretism with religions outside of the Christian sphere. "Just Christian": Multiple definitions--- 1. A low church evangelical who functionally accepts only their own original 'conversion experience' understanding of Evangelicalism; 2. A convert to Christianity with no tradition other than the 'conversion experience' tradition (e.g. they were converted by an evangelical or a bible, but do not attend a church); 3. A disillusioned former member of a Christian tradition, usually Evangelical or Roman Catholic; 4. See "non-denominational". "Saved": See the following video demonstration for 'Saved'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHv4s_hYs4c (Bible Interpretation 101: Zwingli's Razor) |

I'm so glad we have posters on OC.net who are willing to correct the errors of bishops who do things like permit altar girls, most likely with the knowledge of other bishops in their synods, when the synod is too stupid or heretical to be bothered with the correction.
Praise God from the heavens, praise him for OC.net where we are all able to be properly taught the truth, where our bishops have failed.

Sometimes a man needs some alone time with his computer in his Den.
knock on door
BOOM BOOM BOOM
Police: "We know you're in there and we know what you are doing. Come out with your hands up"
Police: "Both hands'
Perv: "I just need one more minute"
Police: "If you dont come out right now, we are going to bust the door down"
Perv: "Okay....just..........one ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,more ............min
I don't know why, but I laughed way too hard at this. |

The Roman formulation strikes me highly legalistic.

Asteriktos, log off for gods sake man!
I think a denominator would be useful for making this judgement. For example: hrs spent online at this forum/total hrs since joining this forum. In my case this is 0.0095 hr/hr Asteriktos is 0.07 hr/hr Achronos/Aposphet is 0.11 hr/hr It seems that you have a more serious logging off problem. Perhaps you do not pay for utilities separately. |

From the latest evolution thread: Every week someone tries to make a monkey out of me, why would I willingly subscribe to a philosophy that also wants to make me out of a monkey?

There is no ecumenical canon on sexual positions.

Really one of the sadder truths of the Orthodox faith. |

If you come from a background that does speak pidgin evo-bapti-costal, it's a habit you'll want to break.
Just something to think about.
