Radicalism? Radical is Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris and a host of other scientists who write books attacking Christianity. I am not doing this out of hatred, I am doing this out of necessity. There is nothing wro…

Do I reject the theory of gravity because Christ ascended? What kind of question is that? Gravity is testable, observable, and can be proven. Evolution is not. The "evidence" is merely an interpretation placed on something to make it fit with evolut…

i don't really understand it either, but it seems that God is purifying his church, causing the churches leaders to properly discuss and learn true doctrine and bringing peo…
If you are saying that you cannot see God judging people like that, then you yourself are judging. If you read carefully the words of Christ you will see several warnings about "falling away" and that many people will come to him saying Lord, Lord, …

The Church is the bride of Christ? Right?
And there are many Churches. They all claim to be the true bride of Christ.
If we are all divided, then surely that means that C…
Epchois im sorry but your gravely mistaken. For some reason you and other uninformed people continue to interpret what I and others are saying as "judging". We are not judging these people, we are not saying they are going to hell and we arent. Did …

We can't jugde. Only God knows everything.

my opinion on Obama is this: if you look at how he came to power, how the people responded and blindly followed a man they knew nothing about, you can see the type of antichrist, a forerunner if you will. he has gotten millions to adore him and love…
thank you so much iloveJesus. i had that feeling the whole dream. it was overwhelming. i thought to myself, this cant be! orthodox falling away and accepting this madness. it reminds me of Luke 18:8 "when the son of man returns will He find faith on…

thank you for all your help. it just made me sad. we watched all these people glorifying this shadowy figure, and alot of Orthodox people were singing praises to this person. it really bothers me when i think about it. thank you again for your help.

not that i can remember, he was in his priestly garments but i cant remember if he had a cross. well maybe it was false then.hmmm i think maybe it was not him.
thank you andrew. i have read every book of Blessed Fr. Seraphim, i even have an icon of him! i found the teaching scary but thought he supported this idea with alot of the early church fathers. thank you very much for your input.
