    It has not been my experience that the orthodox community is unhealthy. You should consider spending some time with them and getting to know them. We have protestants that are converting to orthodoxy at my parish on a daily basis. I do believe that there are unhealthy orthodox communities and I...

    Basically. What you're telling me is that I do not need community. And what I have realized is that I do need a healthy community that is being lead and guided by Jesus Christ and the holy spirit. I don't think that I could follow your advice. Cause I'm not willing to give up community to rely...

    I do not judge anyone, but the nicene creed is in place to judge everyone who's in opposition to it.And this was not put in place by me, but by the holy church, the apostles and the teachings of Jesus Christ. You have just stated and made it clear that you believe that everyone else besides...

    I need to retire now from the conversation god bless. Don't mean to insult anyone's faith. Its easy to see that Christians don't share one unified profession of faith and following this so called holy spirit which is really just our emotions and own understanding has not brought unity but...

    Also, keep in mind they were baptized once they accepted Jesus Christ as a Lord and savior. We don't know how long it took them to get to that point where they were then baptized and accepted in the community. Of course, you would only know that if you were part of the community, and these...

    I'm an inquirer right now. I haven't become a member. Like I said. I'm still looking for a spiritual father. So I'm still learning and I'm still growing. So until I have been baptized we haven't sealed the deal. I've been instructed that I should be open to other possibilities before making my...

    I'm only receiving from the eastern orthodox because there's many ways to follow christianity. Therefore I cannot follow all of them. So I need to choose which one I'm going to submit to and I'm choosing Eastern orthodox so I can have clear guidance. I also need to learn to submit and yield to...

    You can find other orthodox who are better qualified to discuss your concerns. If you want help to connect with somone I can help with that. Im not qualified or in a position to discuss that because I'm new in the faith and I don't want to misrepresent or mislead. God bless you sir.

    I believe that's the whole point is, if you're going to follow Christ you're loving towards everyone. I'm just going through a hard time and trying to figure some things out and I'm throwing a fit. My apologies.

    I think the only Christian group I can honestly say has been loving, Kind, peaceful, understanding and patient towards me would be the Greek orthodox. But I can't excuse all the doctrines that has caused division through them. If I were to join a group I would most certainly join them. And it's...

    Including protestantism? Every one of the Christian institutions fall into one of these camps and that why they are all decisive and sow devision. Their fruit is not of god.
