When You, O Lord, were baptized in the Jordan / the worship of the Trinity was made manifest / for the voice of the Father bore witness to You / and called You His Beloved Son. / And the Spirit, in the form of a dove, / confirmed the truthfulness of His word. / O Christ, our God, You have...

When you say 'new to faith' you refer to yourself? ....... Because then you say: Seems to me you already have your mindset on an Individual God. And you are here only to argue and try to prove wrong the believers in a Trinitarian God.

He says 'the smell of blood filled the air and there were gnats and flies gathered in his wounds'. This is not true.

The prayer is oriented towards the kingdom of God. In another moment of the Divine Liturgy, it is the priest who asks God to remember them in His kingdom: Priest: The President of the United States and all civil authorities and our armed forces everywhere: may the Lord God remember them in His...

"As life-bearing, as more splendid than paradise and more radiant than any royal chamber, O Christ, is shown forth thy tomb, the fountain of our resurrection."

The Eastern Orthodox Church (of USA) does pray for the president and for the army of the country, like this: Deacon: For the President of the United States and all civil authorities, and for our armed forces everywhere, let us pray to the Lord. Choir: Lord, have mercy. I know this is a very...

I thought I'd accompany the bible verses which describe the discovering of the empty tomb with an icon. :)

Splendid! Thanks for sharing it!

QUOTE="throughfaith, post: 4547320, member: 300037"]This isn't the same thing as you said? When we die our bodies are not a sacrifice to God . They will be redeemed yes ( Rom 8 23 ) ' the adoption ' . But no ones flesh is smelling like mrryh . No verse says this . ( edited ) I DID NOT say...

I am not twisting scripture! I base what I say on Scripture and you don't like that. Have you ever heard of the expression 'sweet Jesus'? I know you have. Well, I assure you that this is not just a mere expression, this is not poetry, this is the REALITY. And if you have never felt the sweet...

Fragrance is felt by the nose. The fragrance is indicative of the presence of God.

Your LOSS if you don't believe literally.

Philippians 4:18 I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. Romans 5:2 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved...

Who said anything about burning?

Where did I claim that?

throughfaith, I am soooo dissapointed by you. You asked me 'where did the Bible talked about the fragrance' and when I gave you the verses, you tell me this is not to be taken literal and that I have been hood winked? BY who? BY the very word of God? Your lack of integrity and honesty is very...

I don't believe. I KNOW it is a literal scent.

The Bible talks about the fragrance. Yes or no? St. John Chrysostom and the martyrs I spoke about were not contemporaries with Jesus Christ or Saint Paul which is why... you won't find them in the Bible... You read but you don't understand.

Your entire life is a sacrifice/an offering to God. A dead body which releases myrrh-like smell (like it is the case of St. John Chrysostom, but not only) is a proof that the Holy Spirit dwelled in that person during his lifetime. That person gave herself to Jesus Christ as an offering. The...
