The Wrath of God, as explained by the Eastern Orthodox Church, is a metaphor, an anthropomorphism, i.e, a figure of speech obtained by projecting onto God some negative emotions (fury) specific to fallen man, in order to highlight the effects of actions that are contrary to the commandments...

I would use the word iconic for the word literal. Jesus Christ truly IS the living water and the heavenly bread. I believe and confess that the bread and wine I eat on Sunday truly are the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. Just as Jesus Christ is God incarnate, not symbolically, but truly...

I don’t understand why you think that 1. eating the Body and Blood of Christ and 2. doing it in remembrance of Him are two mutually exclusive things… Also, another preconception is that “we sacrifice Jesus over and over again”. Why? Because we think it’s really the Blood and Body of Christ? We...

Taste and see that the Lord is good! :) Where do you think the Christians take their power from? You need power in order to deny yourself, deny the world, take your cross and follow Him.

“And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples and said: Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying: Drink ye all of it. For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many...

The praying position of Elijah:

Worship is only for the triune God. I pray to her, I bless her, I honor her, as the Church One did and still does until this day. "It is truly right to bless you, O Theotokos, ever-blessed and most pure, and the Mother of our God. More honorable than the Cherubim, and more glorious beyond...

...it didn't. I am not Roman-Catholic, I am Greek-Orthodox.

I think depression and diabetes II are the diseases of the millennium. Sometimes I feel so powerless that I look with awe and admiration to people who are capable of getting up in the morning and going to their work. In order to fight depression I (try to) do the following things: 1.) I...

I was born in a Pentecostal family and converted to eastern-orthodoxy (or Greek-orthodoxy, Idk which is the term you use more) when I was 21. I love going to church and I think the church is Jesus Christ’ project of launching the new creation into the world and we should attend it in order to...

These words: In the context of the verse, it doesn’t teach us HOW to war, but against WHOM: principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, spiritual wickedness in high places. This doesn’t change the fact that Jesus Christ didn’t represent (as you claimed) a threat for the...

That which you interpret as mamby-pamby represent Saint Paul’s words, not my own. [/ In reality, the big shots like the Roman Governor, Pilat, din’t see a threat in Jesus Christ; He was a threat only for the ultra-religious Pharisees who perceived and interpreted as evil Christ’s good deeds...

But the Christian martyrs who overthrew the Pagan Roman Empire DID! 🙂

You put the sign “=“ between George Soros and the Open Society (funded by him, yes) which financially supports some groups all over the world, some that hold unchristian (even anti-Christian ideas and views). Blame the people who form those groups and who take money which could be better used. I...

You obviously didn’t understand the Bible since you came to the conclusion that our battle is against flesh and blood (Soros, for instance).

Oblio, you could have spent that huge amount of time studying the Bible, praying, deepening your relation with God instead of going witch hunting after Soros. I don’t believe the Holy Spirit guided you; quite te contrary, I believe you’ve done your “research” under the guidance of the same...

The desert fathers are Christians who fled the world and settled in the desert and mountains of Egypt. They were seeking peace silence and above all, holiness (Hebrews 12,14). Their ascesis comprised: prayer, fasting, repentance, tears, work, helping the poor, humility, self-denial, abstinence...

George Soros’s major sin: philanthropy Vladimir Putin: Mass murderer Who do people who identify as Christians label as “traitor”, “nazi”, “scumbag”? George Soros, of course.

The collection of the Church One. :)
