+ Irini nem ehmot, I would have to agree. Symbol may not be the most appropriate word and the translation would probably be more accurate if it were 'type'. Here you can find an explanation of what typology means.

+ Irini nem ehmot, The comparison of the present day Church with the Passover seder at the time of Christ or even the 1st century Church is invalid. The Church has evolved over time as we no longer are under the degree of persecution we saw during …

+ Irini nem ehmot, So after reading through the quotes in context, I came across something that I thought was worthwhile to share: De Principiis Book II said:Chapter 8. On the Soul (Anima). 1. The order of our arrangement now requires us, after th…

+ Irini nem ehmot, While there is no official Church canon against cremation, I think it is something that has been universally rejected by the Church. In addition to the above reference, here's an article you may find interesting: Why Orthodox Ch…

+ Irini nem ehmot, You will find among the Church Fathers that there is a discrepancy on this issue. Some say that the soul and spirit are the same and others make a distinction. Here is St. Irenaeus' take on it: Against Heresies said:God will bes…

+ Irini nem ehmot, George, I'm not sure that verse can be used to support the notion of the pre-existance of the soul. God stands outside time, so from His perspective, we have all always existed. All mankind who has ever existed, currently exists…

+ Irini nem ehmot, It is beyond me why an individual would argue something that isn't even the main thrust of the thread. Those how do not understand what is being discussed should not open their mouths. Period.

+ Irini nem ehmot, Isn't burning only for the Holy Mysteries? Since the orban is not the Holy Body of Christ, what reason would there be burn it? I would think burying or giving away the orban would be the more appropriate solution.

+ Irini nem ehmot, I seem to be under the impression that being anathema and being excommunicated are two separate things. Anathema is a far stricter punishment than excommunication implying that the person who is anathematized is a heretic and spr…
