Firstly, back in the day (centuries ago) there wasn't really this big thing about historical culture. Secondly, that is not any old church, it is a unique church and there is no other like it. It is a very important piece of heritage. It is not from the point of "it is a church" that it must be...

Reading what he/she wrote carefully along with the quote, you will see thatthe "who cares" is refering to the fact that the church was built on the site of a pagan temple. Hence, not a generalised "who cares"...

The Bible isn't as easy to read as it looks. You can't just go in, read it and think you know it. Especially with Christianity where Testament authority over eachother comes into play. Not so much of a big topic...it's hard for non-believers to accept it as it often goes against what they...

We are all worth it. All of us sinners. It was the original plan for us to live eternally within God's grace. Sin cannot enter heaven, and must go to Hell. As carriers of sin we should go to Hell too. This is why God did it once for all, so we can all return home. God is practically handing us...

No, I haven't

Hehe, I used to be an atheist. Simple belief, not much in it. It just leaves you free to be. Wanting to learn is good. But you have to be careful. Make sure what people tell you are true, at least to a certain extent. I'd know, I'm learning about Islam. I used to talk to muslims, then while...

It is a pth we chose in life. Firstly, Orthodox Christianity doesn't preach original sin. We preach Ancestral Sin. We believe that children are born neutral, neither good nor evil but merely with a fallen grace/state. Upon death children go to heaven for not commiting sins. Good and Evil is a...
