  • No surprise, I have more than one experience based view. After many disappointments, in many areas, I wish that I had the wisdom to make an adequate study of the reality of every endeavor that I consider to become involved in. In regard to ventureso…

  • [quote author=Boricua_Orthodox link=topic=13771.msg162643#msg162643 date=1358110714] As long as a Christian is baptized under the Trinitarian formula they could enter Eastern Orthodoxy by Chrismation. I was RC and was received into the EOC (Antiochi…

  • [quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=14084.msg162341#msg162341 date=1357009820] irishpilgrim, Pick up a book. No-one cares for "your feel." While everyone has put up reason for believing in theosis, and have portrayed patristic evidence, you h…

  • [quote author=qawe link=topic=14084.msg162318#msg162318 date=1356935449] This is directed to those Copts who believe in theosis. Are there any mentions of theosis in the Coptic liturgy?  I don't recall any. It seems quite odd that such an essential …

  • [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=13788.msg161331#msg161331 date=1353448114] Having an actual argument is not Helagian dialectic. Incalculable repetitious opinionated accusations are. Claiming the patristic references I gave about John 17:21 regardi…
  • Remnkemi, Your method of argument will probably win the popular vote here, too. It won all of the votes in the Garden. 2-0. It, however, lost all of its points and failed miserably against the truth of Christ. 0-3. Today, your method is variously …

  • [quote author=The least of all link=topic=13788.msg160662#msg160662 date=1351130134] Ok well I never said that living a virtuous and 'Orthodox' life makes one Orthodox and neither did RO for that matter, you have just simply chosen to make a straw m…
  • [quote author=Stavro link=topic=13788.msg161064#msg161064 date=1352576830] True ecumenism is the same as preaching the faith to the unbelievers and heretics. You present the Truth to them, embrace them, and baptize them in the name of the Trinity an…

  • [quote author=Severian link=topic=13823.msg160855#msg160855 date=1351914470] Why is it that the Holy Spirit seems less emphasized in both the Bible and the writings of the Apostolic Fathers than the Father and the Son? For example, in the beginnin…
  • For me, if the lot (true or fixed) falls to either bishop, I will have to wait and be shown that it was God's choice for positive good blessing, not for disciplinary (good) blessing, to the spiritually least (not the self-appointed "wise") of us. Th…
