There are 12 major and 12 minor keys in western music, adding up to 24 total. 24 divided by 8 equals 3. Think about it... three. Is this where the doctrine of the Trinity comes from? 2) If St. John Chrysostom is really golden mouthed, then why are his sermons so frustrating to read, both in English and in the original Hebrew? 3) If St. Photius were marching forward in time at the pace of 1 day per day, and St. Justin Popovich were marching backward in time at the pace of 1 day per day, on what day and in what year would they meet each other? (Yes, I'm bored...) |

Since you are bored, I have a recommendation to make. Catch the next Pre-sanctified in a parish without pews. Not only will you have a good workout, you may even be entertained.

I've been to about a dozen parishes in my life, and all but one had pews... and that parish is about 200 miles away from where I'm at now...  But I could just do prostrations right here I suppose... |

1) There are 8 tones in Orthodox music. There are 12 major and 12 minor keys in western music, adding up to 24 total. 24 divided by 8 equals 3. Think about it... three. Is this where the doctrine of the Trinity comes from? And every major key has a corresponding minor key with the exact same notes on it (C=Am), a musical tie to the incarnation? 2) If St. John Chrysostom is really golden mouthed, then why are his sermons so frustrating to read, both in English and in the original Hebrew? Becasue you're trying to read and he didn't write with his mouth. 3) If St. Photius were marching forward in time at the pace of 1 day per day, and St. Justin Popovich were marching backward in time at the pace of 1 day per day, on what day and in what year would they meet each other? Any particular method for accounting to stop and eat three times a day and any stops that would have to be made for bathroom breaks? Also, if they are marching, they may take paths that never cross each other. |

So Chrysostom DID originally write in Hebrew.
St. Paul whispered to him in Hebrew, St. John wrote it down in shorthand and translated it to Greek later on. |

#1) Rather, I would say that this fact is a Holy coincidence to represent the doctrine of the Trinity rather than the reason for the doctrine itself.
#2) Because they were not written in Hebrew but Greek. Secondly, because most translations of them are really horrible and confusing in sentence structure. Thirdly, they were meant to be heard, not read. I would love to find audiobooks for his homilies.
#3) Pope Nicholas' backside?

You realize that reading "silently" is a relatively recent phenomenon? Nothing was ever meant to read and not heard. They didn't even know of such a thing. This is an interesting subject. Check it out. |

(Yes, I'm bored...)Obviously this is joking, but I figured I'd try to answer it seriously... 3) Well time would pass by, and so St. Photius would simply be going as we do, 1 day per day, 1 year per year. St. Justin Popovich would be stuck in place because he would move backwards with the passage of each day, 1 day - 1 day is obviously 0. Therefore they would meet in the same year St. Justin Popovich began his "backward" movement, it will have taken St. Justin no time, whereas it would have taken St. Photius over 1,000 years to reach St. Justin. |

There are a few qualifiers: 1) He must be Russian. 2) He must have served in the Russian Army or Border Guards, preferably a Spetsnaz unit. 3) Get him drunk. Once you've figured out the first two, the last one should be relatively easy as it is the paschal season. |

Two further questions no Orthodox Christian can answer*:
1) Why doesn't Saint Vladimir's Seminary Press let you preview their books on Amazon?
2) Why does AFR need so much money to run things? They have a general breakdown on the site, but I still don't understand what costs so much.
*Though if someone can, it'd be appreciated.
