  • Dear perfectsinner,

    Welcome to the forums, and we look forward to hearing more from you. There is nothing better to which you can devote your free time than to your encounter with God through the Risen Christ.

    One of the many benefits of Orthodoxy is that there is so much to read and so much history from which one can learn; to know that you are part of the Church which Our Lord Himself founded is - in the proper sense of that over-used word - awesome.

    We are blessed to have you here,  :)

    In Christ,

    Anglian
  • hi anglian

    i agree with u..with God u can never learn enough..there is always something else...the orthodox church is soo rich whether if it is the sayings of the fathers...the stories of saints...just the Bible alone..there is soo much..i love it all!!

    anglian sorry..but just a side question...is that a picture of God the father?

    thanx for the warm welcome

    Dear Sister in Christ,

    The icon is one of St. Isaac of Syria. As we cannot see God except through the Son, it is not in our tradition to have icons of God the Father.

    In Christ,

    Anglian
  • hi anglian

    yes i know that is true..about we can not depict God the father..but i was asking for that reason..i thought maybe u were greek orthodox..b/c they depict God the father..sorry it was curiosity..but i have never seen that icon b4..it is nice

    and nancy..thanx..dont worry about it..dont appologize it is not a big deal it is just a name...i dont mind..

    thanx every1
    pls pray for me
