    Your Thoughts On Father Seraphim Rose?

    I have done some research on Father Seraphim Rose, and have found that he was/is truly blessed. I have also learned that Father Seraphim wrote a scholarly refutation to his Toll House detractor(s ). Michael Pomazansky ( not sure on spelling ) did aswell. These articles may be found by contacting...

    Fr. Seraphim (Rose) and Conspiracy Theories

    Ok, for some strange reason the page "could not be found" with the link I gave. I have no idea why, but that is the story of my life. If it's not one thing, it's the next. Just ask the Platina monastery for Father Seraphim's response to his critics on the Toll Houses. They have it.

    Fr. Seraphim (Rose) and Conspiracy Theories

    Several days ago, someone pasted an attack against Father Seraphim accusing him of gnosticism by teaching the "Toll Houses." Iam happy to announce that Father Seraphim completely refuted his opponent(s) while he was still alive. Since I don't have 15 posts here yet, I'm not allowed to give the...

    Beware of Seraphim Rose's Gnostic Heresy

    Father Seraphim clearly states that the Toll Houses are a "model," not a doctrine. We are not required to believe in or reject them as Christians. I suggest anyone interested in this subject read "The Soul After Death," by Father Seraphim. He provides the sources there, with commentary.

    Blessed Father Seraphim Rose

    I've been reading and learning more about Father Seraphim. He is truly blessed. Please forgive me a sinner. I'm just a stupid convert that doesn't know much. Holy Father Seraphim ( Rose ) pray for us.

    Beware of Seraphim Rose's Gnostic Heresy

    MrKnightly says: "Father Seraphim was a Gnostic." My Response: Thats absurd. logically, it's a non sequitur ( because of this, therefore this ) logical fallacy. Your conclusion does not logically follow. Father Seraphim has gone on record debunking gnosticism. He was Orthodox. Because...

    Elder Ephraim

    I saw Elder Ephraim in 1998. He has an energy around him. I knew the moment I saw him walk in the church ( his back was facing me ) that it was him. He is so humble and pius. He sounded like a little child when he spoke. His body is on earth, his mind is in Heaven. This is difficult for us...

    Your Thoughts On Father Seraphim Rose?

    Father Seraphim Rose was a pius and humble monk. I can only dream of following in his steps. Please remember however, to focus on our Lord Jesus Christ. He is our ultimate role model of perfection. Forgive me a sinner.

    Your Thoughts On Father Seraphim Rose?

    The Theotokos is of course invited on Mount Athos. It is her garden. She owns it. What would Saint Anne be doing sweeping a court yard? Don't the saints have better things to do then custodial work at monasteries? I absolutely do not believe women ( other then saints ) should visit monasteries...

    Your Thoughts On Father Seraphim Rose?

    Suzzanah, I'm afraid that I'm not going to be able to help you, because I do not believe women should be allowed in monasteries. The Father's of Athos were not stupid. Women can visit convents. Monasteries are not museums, open for spectators. They are spiritual hospitals. Iam hoping to join...

    Your Thoughts On Father Seraphim Rose?

    His body found incorrupt? How can that be, when he was never exhumed? You must be talking about the apparent sign of no decomposition during the three days prior to his burial. There have been several "miracles" attributed to Father Seraphim, but it is important to point out that most of them...

    Your Thoughts On Father Seraphim Rose?

    I live only about 40 miles away from the Platina monastery. I visit them all the time. They view Father Seraphim as a very Godly man. He died of a blood clot in his stomach, if memory serves me correctly.

    Elder Ephraim

    Please forgive me. The demons got the better of me. Subtle is the way of Satan. Everything I said was pure nonsense. Disregard everything I said. I was in a bad mood. I venerate our holy father Seraphim and Zar Nicholas of Russia. And the father's in Arizona are wonderful. I hope to be saved...
