    You know what though.. I can breathe a sigh of relief.. but however things are being described here. albeit some misunderstandings of language and words here and there.. but your understanding of that, and what i have read in Greek Orthodox doctrine is the same (more or less) as my own. I...

    The Baptists understanding of that actually, and as I would also see myself, is some people will say.. I was saved on such and such a date.. meaning.. that was the day they gave their life to Christ.. experienced him for the first time.. whatever, that's a broad area.. but has to fit with that...

    So what's this whole "Energies" business? :)

    Well we don't spend every minute discussing Jesus either.. I didn't mean for it to sound that way, but undoubtedly He is a central focus of many peoples' lives. A prohibition against speaking about God/Jesus with family members seems rather odd to me. It certainly is not what Jesus what have...

    just out of curiosity, what turned you from a RC to east orthodox? You know what also.. Luther really had to do what he did.. the Catholic church back then. the vatican.. was really really corrupt.. teaching all sorts of nonsense to the people. In essence really, you could say, part of what he...
