    World of Warcraft Players here?

    I used too, but not anymore. Heck, I rarely have time to play video games (I do so for a little while over the weekend). With school, homework, taking care of my dog, cooking, and shopping, I don't have time.

    What About the Ark of the Old Covenant???

    Try Protestantism. Protestantism are full of man-made traditions and percepts of men. Is what Protestants been during since the 16th century (i.e., separating from each other and started their own churches with man-made traditions and practices while trying to mimic Ancient Christianity)...

    John Sandinopoulous revisits the "Rapture"

    Lord, have mercy, Indeed! Mr. Camping is now changing his story. He said that Judgement Day did occured on May 21st, but only that it was "spiritual" and not "physical" (whatever that means and a total contradiction on what he said earlier). He now say that the end of the world will come...

    Lenten food thread

    Anyone here follows the Primal Blueprint/Paleo lifestyle while still keeping with the Lenten Fast? It so dreadful (lol) for us.

    Taking Communion

    I don't want to take of this either. I belong to a ROCOR parish, so I am know about the strictness concerning the Divine Eucharist in our tradition. I know that other jurisdictions aren't that strict than the Russians concerning Communion, but what this women did is out of line. She should have...

    Council of Carthage/Cannon

    Sorry. I misunderstood what you meant before. Yes, you are right. It is a heretical gospel account. In IC.XC.,

    Council of Carthage/Cannon

    Why? They can also be back up with Holy Scriptures. For instance, that Mary is rightly called "Theotokos" (God-bearer, or Mother of God) is supported by Luke 1:42. But then again, all Marian teachings are part of Holy Tradition. Holy Scriptures is also part of Holy Tradition. In IC.XC.,

    So many bibles! Which one to believe?

    I will generally agree. Although I regard the disputed books as canonical Holy Scriptures (along with few others), I am in agreement that nothing in these books adds any significant knowledge to any books all Christians accept as "Holy Scriptures". I don't think it's a major matter, although...

    So many bibles! Which one to believe?

    Sorry for misunderstanding you. Yes, I would agree that all books we have in common say virtually the same thing, but it's more a matter of interpretation than anything else. In IC.XC, Ramon

    The Ecumenical Councils

    Hello, The best book on this topic, in my experienced, is The First Seven Ecumenical Councils (325-787): Their History and Theology by Leo Donald Davis, a Roman Catholic Priest. Each chapter of the book is dedicated to one council; the circumstances that led to the council, the convening of the...

    So many bibles! Which one to believe?

    Actually, Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Ethiopian Orthodox, and Protestants are not in agreement on which books are deemed canonical Scriptures. In essence, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church have a longer OT and NT canon than any Christian faith. So yes, there is a fundamentally differences between...

    Why is the Orthodox Canon different from the Catholic one?

    So she was simply a vessel for Christ? Nothing special about her? The Holy Theotokos gave our Lord his flesh. Her "Yes" paviled the way for Salvation. The Earliest Christians called her the "New Eve". "He became man by the Virgin, in order that the disobedience which proceeded...

    Why is the Orthodox Canon different from the Catholic one?

    Hello. There is no evidence from Holy Scriptures that the brothers and sisters mention in the Bible were actually Mary and Joseph' sons and daughters. In the Old Testament, many were called "Brother" even though they were simply family members. Please read Genesis 14:14, 16; 29:12; Leviticus...
