No mina. I work closely with other priests on this very subject, there is NOTHING wrong with attacking beliefs. If there is, then you have to discount 90% of the early church fathers. Do not EVER repeat that I ever said anything about protestants "g…
First off mina it is not my fault that you cannot distinguish between the individual and the belief, that is more of a reflection on you than it is me. NOW you know how I feel when I am trying to speak on PROTESTANTISM and a bunch of people attack m…
I dont like all this bashing going on here. Its all just conspiracy theories, nothing has ever happened Zoxasi! Why do we have to insult them and cut them down, when they did not do anything? Islam is not a threat to anyone but your crazy theories a…
Zoxasi, I just dont see it as being that important and certainly not a threat to anyone. Its all harmless and I am sure the political leaders know better than we do so it is not prudent to question their actions or motives.
Its a doctored video created and spread by protestant whack jobs trying to "prove" something. If its not Orthodox it should be avoided, unless of course your in your youth meetings, then its ok to be heretical apparently.
I hate it when I see women approach the communion dressed like they are at a disco. Its bad enough that many of the congregants dont know anything about what they believe, but to disgrace the sacrament of sacraments like that is disgusting to me.
ILSM, that is a great point. Perhaps this is why people like Rubina seek our approval so desperately.They know they are wrong but if they can get us to accept this madness then they can sleep better at night for betraying their church and their God,…
This is kind of a confusing subject. I hear women say they want a man to love them for who they are not how they look, yet they dress and look as if their very goal is to attract a man based on their looks alone. There is a woman that goes to my chu…
Anba Bola, we can take a number of stances, none of them will work. Ultimately it is God who will bring him/her to the true faith if He wills it. I do not take kindly to people coming here and shoving their faith down our throats or possibly attempt…
dzheremi, I agree. I am so confused when I see people that try to shove this nonsense down our throat, so worried about people "accepting" them as Christian. It is so reminiscent of the homosexual agenda in their attempts to shove it in our face unt…

Sigh, is this gonna be one of those threads that gets out of hand and the moderator has to close it?
God bless you Rubina maana and may God guide you in the search for th…
dzrhemi, I agree. I am confused by geomikes statment. I mean like thousands of Mayans recently converted to Orthodoxy, does it make them illegitimate because they speak spanish.
As a convert to the faith, I recommend going through a whole liturgical calendar year and learn everything you can. I suggest the basics of the faith. This is not something to be taken lightly so you must understand every bit of the major sacraments…
Rubina, your response to my previous post is what I like to call the "protestant shuffle". Protestants, when confronted with undeniable truths, find all sorts of ways to discredit the person speaking it. You are unable to prove the legitimacy of you…

it is exactly what the bible says and you said it does not baptize you into the church it is not supposed to baptize you into the church. have you lost the meaning of …
Read Numbers 16 and see what happened to Korah and his followers when he tore down the priesthood. I am assuming this is some sort of new charismatic style church that rejects even other protestants and has chose to try and follow the bible literall…
Mt 16:18 "upon this rock I will found My church, that even the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Quite simply the church Christ founded should still be here from then to now, and nothing will or has overcome it. Therefore the true church …
Mina, this is a good point. People throw the word "judge" around because they are uncomfortable with what is being said. So they use this kind of ad hominim attack in a feeble attempt to try and stop it.
Servant you still seem to be misunderstanding.Protestantism is NOT Christian, had you taken the time to actually read my post on this very issue you would grasp this concept. We are criticizing the religion, not the people. Plenty of early church fa…
