I may have misunderstood. I disagree entirely with the idea of instruments with liturgical hymns. Forgive me.
My intention was to justify the use of instruments with pr…

In defense of imikhail,
He does not seem to be against music with instruments, so using the 150th psalm to argue with him is not applicable. No-one said not to pla…

However, we need to keep in mind that others will hear our words and unlike our Lord they can't tell our intentions.

I was taught that this is the correct tune to chant the Conclusion to the Adam Theotokias.
The Morning Doxology tune should only be when chanting it after the Morning Doxology.

I was expecting better than this, Cephas. I'm dissapointed.
Nothing really worth arguing against in your post.
As for the reference to me as your cat: Look I understand these are hard times and you wish you could lick little Cece when times are …
No, Cephas, I read it. Let me correct it for you: You (Cephas) do not know whether animals will be in heaven, I am 100% sure animals will not be in heaven.
The verse I listed prove not only that man and animal is different, it's pretty obvious tha…

Last I checked, the Bible was silent when it comes to animals or what happens to them, seeing as how the primary focus is on God's plan of salvation for ma…

Yes, I know it is. But it is misleading in that the dancer didn't know how to pray so he danced. We DO know how to pray the correct and Orthodox way so we cannot say don't judge because it is from the heart. If one DOES NOT know the correct way to p…

In any case, we DO know how to pray. We don't have to resort to dancing or sing…
