So essentially you are saying that global warming affects ocean currents. And if everything warms up, causing the ocean currents to change, then everything could freeze? Huh what?

I'll pray for you. One question: Are you willing to accept that perhaps (just perhaps - you don't have to say for sure) there is one true church? And maybe consider why this is such a hang-up for you?

Maybe I can help clear up some confusion with this movie. My godparents actually sent me the link regarding the movie about three weeks ago to see what I thought since this is the business I'm entering into (movies). Anyway, the whole thing intrigued me, so I started doing a lot of research...

Orthosdoxa is a very spunky lady. :)

The phrases "I don't need God" and "humble" cannot fit together in the same sentence. The very basis of humility is recognizing your dependence upon God.

There is more of Christ than what you have seen. And climbing up towards God at all is impossible without the Holy Spirit. It is also impossible if we do not obey and work out our own salvation.

My reaction to you saying this goes something like this: Say someone offered you two ladders. One's a step ladder (a stool), and the other is a fireman's ladder. Both will get you closer to your destination, but only one of them will get you a heck of a lot closer, if not all the way to, your...

I think I might be able to explain part of this for you. At least as well as an anonymous presence on the internet can do. I came to Orthodoxy from being an evangelical charismatic Protestant. That is actually how I described myself. That's how I grew up, and I pretty much know all the ins...

Hi Monica, can I ask you a couple of questions? :) How well did you understood the Orthodox faith when you decided to become a protestant? (And how old are you, if you don't mind me asking?) Can you define "better Christian" for me? By what measure are you measuring that?

Thank you. :blush: I chose Saint Euphemia as my patron saint, although my priest chrismated me with my own name (Jennifer), which is alright with me. I was drawn to her after reading some things that she said - “Do not waste your time and your words on us,” the Saint answered him. “We...

Some of you might remember me, some not. :) I just wanted to thank all of those who prayed for me while I was inquiring and let you know that I was chrismated on November 11th! :tutu:

So it is His name, or isn't it? It's a little difficult to take His name in vain if it isn't His name and instead is a "name invented to make swearing in His name more acceptable." You just stated it is an invented name that you would never use to address God. Therefore, it I use it, I'm not...

You are correct in that I missed a part of that definition. I still, however, dont' agree that "gosh" is God's name. Ask yourself if you would feel comfortable adressing God as "Gosh." If you would honestly have no problems doing this (meaning you really believe 'gosh' is another name for...

Thank you so much for condescending to offer me that definition. May I offer you one in return? eu·phe·mism /ˈyufəˌmɪz –noun 1.the substitution of a mild, indirect, or vague expression for one thought to be offensive, harsh, or blunt. In other words, it is a different...
