[quote author=Theophilus 1 link=topic=13688.msg160017#msg160017 date=1348000207] Thanks Arsenios, the podcast was great! It seems to me that our faith is the same - the speaker used the same analogy that we use when we talk about the union of Chris…

^Love it.^

Theophil, If you have 20 mins of free time, I ask you to check out this podcast to get the EO position: http://ancientfaith.com/podcasts/allsaints/chalcedonian_christology

Your blog has been bookmarked! Looks good! And congrats on stepping away from the forum. I originally came here to find out certain information, and I'm probably going to step away as well. I have two local OO parishes I can visit (Indian Orthod…

I wonder how Stavros would define "The Church." Surely we haven't solved this issue in just a few pages! ;)

I should have quite a few in my iTunes. Some are festive and some are more somber.

[quote author=The least of all link=topic=13681.msg159831#msg159831 date=1347509725] I would like to echo RO, the EO have upheld the faith even in modern times and in some OO circles we have had a bit of a divergence from what the fathers actually b…

[quote author=Joshuaa link=topic=13681.msg159823#msg159823 date=1347494634] Then the question for me is: Where did the faith originate because it has been received? [/quote] I would say our Faith originated with God the Father, then through Chri…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=13681.msg159813#msg159813 date=1347489514] Apostolic succession is not the issue. The try Church is the one that still holds on to the faith and the holy tradition she received. [/quote] True, it might not be the …

It's remarkable that even though the Eastern Orthodox churches were in communion with Rome supposedly until ~1054, we (EO) are closer to OO in overall theology and praxis than we are with Rome. The last time EO and OO were in communion was some t…

I would say both the EO and the OO are the Church. But I don't know what EO canons say about once someone is claimed to be a heretic/heretical. After Chalcedon claimed everyone in Egypt was miraculously and immediately "monophysite," does that mea…

Yeah, if you have to get rid of it, I'd just put it out on your front lawn grass or something, that way an animal can come and eat it and then nature is blessed.

Can't wait to see where this thread goes! :)

You mean the book about assassination attempts on former presidents?

Purity2, I guess if you're fortunate enough to have some friends like that, then you can count yourself blessed! :D I am blessed to have quite a few friends like I described, and they are good examples for myself and show me how to improve.

Thank you, I needed this!

[quote author=mabsoota link=topic=13615.msg159408#msg159408 date=1346231776] i don't think there is much fighting; most of us are willing to accept there are some differences in focus, but the Bible studies i have been to have been places where ques…

#13 is unfortunate, but I like the findings of the points.

Also, try changing your bodily posture. If you're sitting when you start your prayers, stand up. If you start losing your concentration then, try kneeling for a time. Then, if you feel the need, stand back up. You can also do some prostrations t…

A monk once told me that it doesn't matter on the external circumstances, but only what is in your heart. If you are determined to live a life consecrated to God, it doesn't matter if you're in the desert or in the world; if you have decided to liv…

True Christian friendship is found in a true friend who is unwilling to accommodate you in any of the normal sins you like to commit when "hanging out" with "friends". For example: Do you find that you typically gossip or slander people when han…

God bless you! I look forward to knowledgable and comprehensive answers as you do. :)

Welcome! You're converting to the Coptic Orthodox Church, I take it? What religion/denomination are you converting from?
-
Well, my Priest actually blessed me to go to St. Mark Coptic Orthodox church for Vespers, Midnight Praises, and Divine Liturgy. Boo yaa. :D

nvm

I think this is where both the Oriental Orthodox and converts from Protestantism to Eastern Orthodoxy would benefit from dialoguing, worshiping, and communicating together. There are a lot of converts to the Eastern Orthodox Church right now who ar…

Start by reading some Fr. John Romanides. ;) Ancestral Sin: http://www.amazon.com/The-Ancestral-Sin-Comparative-Augustinian/dp/0970730314 Also, Metropolitan Hierotheos Vlachos of Nafpaktos did a good work on Romanides: http://findingthewaytotheh…
