I apologize. I'm not trying to be an offense, but I really don't have to go to a church to know what they're about. What I have to do is take a look at the confession of faith. And what's the core belief system? So if your penicastal then this really isn't a pick your own adventure. I mean...

Is there a strong focus on fasting? Is there a strong focus on being unified as a body? Is there a strong focus on subduing your passions? It is there a strong focus on suffering and struggling with Christ? Do you practice asceticism? Is their submission to authority? Is there a focus on...

Yes, I know.You're very me focused.Unfortunately, it turns out that protestantism is very me focused.It's designed that way.Unfortunately, this is not biblical teaching. I don't find any humility in protestantism. A lot of pride and arrogance and the fruit of that is that protestantism is...

All 4 original churches that were established going all the way back to the apostles are in agreement with protestants.That Roman Catholicism has deviated from the path.I would strongly recommend that you have a better understanding of eastern orthodoxy.

I suppose, I should have also included that everyone who agrees with you is not an error. I understand that you need prayer. I will pray. Just so you know, I am not relying on what I believe or what I think when it comes to developing my faith and walk with Christ. I leave this up to the Eastern...

I believe I understand that everyone but you is false. I will pray for you brother.

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...

I know what unifies Eastern orthodox. I know what unifies Roman Catholic. I know what unifies Asian orthodox. I know what unifies presbyterians. I know what unifies pentecostals. I know what unifies Baptist. I know what unifies the nazarene's. I know what unifies methodist and so on. They all...

Thank you. Glad to be part of such a healthy community. Im from America was raised Roman Catholic of the Latin rite. I did a lot of searching and explored protestantism. Im now with a Greek Orthodox church because it has substance, community, environment, and prayer that is helping me grow...

Im still learning. Im not a good one to learn from.

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...

Thank you for your concerns, Ill take them into consideration. God bless.

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.

Hi, I just wanted apolagize to everyone. I was dealing with some problems and I believe that I found a good community, a Christian community. I've chosen to put my faith and trust in the Eastern orthodox. And I'm in the process of looking for a spiritual father to provide me with guidance. I am...

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.
