They make no sense to you. That does not mean that they are incoherent. Quit claiming incoherence and actually demonstrate that they are incoherent. Thus far, they have only ever contradicted your personal interpretation of Scripture, not Scripture itself.It's coherent by the rules of making sense. Your answers make no sense because they come from men not from God. But you are content to accept them because you love the darkness.
These are the questions a discerning, serious believer needs to ask:
Why are the answers given by the wolves incoherent?
Why are the members of the church lukewarm, not serious as they were when they first became believers?
As to the reason many people in the Church are lukewarm, that is true in EVERY church. in pretty much every church you will find that 80% of the work is done by 20% of the people. It might be slightly different from one parish to the next, but it is certainly something that holds true over the long haul.
Also, please stop using the word incoherent. You keep using that word. I do not think you it means what you think it means.
Edit: in fact, I know you don't know what it means. Here is the definition:
(of spoken or written language) expressed in an incomprehensible or confusing way; unclear.
It might contradict what you believe, but the Orthodox Faith is the second largest gathering of Christians and it is the third largest religious demographic in the world.
I would say, I find your teaching to actually be incoherent. Meaning it is not expressed in a clear way. The Orthodox faith, on the other hand, has teachers who were so gifted by the Spirit in teaching that they received honorifics like "man of the golden tongue". St. John Chrystostom was so gifted at teaching that his original teacher from before he renounced pagan beliefs and converted to Christianity said if the Church hadn't stolen him, John would have been his star pupil.
