Hello all. I hope this finds you well. I have a question. Years ago, I found a podcast, and I believe it was something along the line of "Rain in/on the Desert". I can't remember where it was hosted, but I remember that, even though I was a practicing protestant, I could agree with and felt...

I know that there is a significant history regarding the different traditions of the east v. west in regards to the host. What I was wondering (and I hope this won't cause debate or ill will) is what each traditions reasoning/theology behind whether to use leavened or unleavened bread. Thanks!

I see this phrase in different threads. I come from, and coming out of, an evangelical background, and liturgy was never discussed. Thanks, Marc

'Ola, amigos! I posted here a few months back, saying we were thinking about visiting a UM Church. Well, it looks like it might happen in the next week or two (I had to put it off due to health issues. Haven't been to our regular church in about a month, as well). I was just wondering about...

The "what would end the schism" thread got me to thinking........ Since the OO split from the larger church (before the Great Schism) in the (?)fifth century, does it's theology, liturgy, and tradition seem closer to the Roman or Eastern branches of Christianity? And does this mean that they...

Good afternoon, As I'm getting older, I'm finding myself on what feels like a pilgrimage that is exploring - and testing- my faith in my church's doctrines. :confused: I was wondering what the Catholic view of Christology was; the churches view on does Christ intervene now or is this the role...

Good afternoon, As I'm getting older, I'm finding myself on what feels like a pilgrimage that is exploring - and testing- my faith in my church's doctrines. :confused: I was wondering what the Orthodox view of Christology was; the churches view on does Christ intervene now or is this the...

Could someone give me the history behind the two celebration dates of Easter (west v. east)? Thanks,

I grew up, a long, long, long time ago, in a heavily Catholic city. Gotta admit, I loved the architecture on some of those old cathedrals. But, many, many, many years later, here I am attending a Baptist church in the deep south, believing in Baptist principals, in principle. One thing that...

I've been reading with enjoyment the various threads touching on different petals of the TULIP. While I fall somewhere in the middle of everything, I have recently been asking myself this question: Does it matter at all to my salvation/relationship with God if I either believe or don't...

Just wanted to get opinions on how the historical church changed after Constantine made Christianity the state religion. Was the change good or bad for the church, the historical faith, and for ecclesiastical structure? Thanks in advance, Marc

Good afternoon all :wave: If I'm not mistaken, the Eastern churches use the Julian calendar for church related purposes? If this is true, I just would like to know the history behind the Eastern churches using that and the Western churches using the Gregorian calendar. Thanks! M

My wife and I currently have a church home (a moderate size FBC), but her roots are Methodist, and she would, I think, be more comfortable, and more apt to be involved attending a Methodist church. We are planning on attending one that a good friend's wife is Women's Pastor. It's a split (or...

I just recently purchased a NextBook 8 tablet running Android 4.1.1. I like it so far, and might end up buying my wife one as well. I've tried to look up information about this device, and there's very limited info out there. The website is not much help at all, and the user manual is very...

Can anyone shed some light on this problem? My son was given a Dell laptop for school. It has W7 installed. For a time, he was able to connect to the internet, but all of a sudden, we get an error message that says the radio antenna is disabled. I've tried to google the problem, but most...

Well, the Newt is campaigning here in MS, and he attended our evening service before a political rally at City Hall. I didn't bother going, not the least because of the hassle of getting into church because of the Secret Service protection detail. I'm just curious, has a national politico...

:wave: I haven't posted in this forum is quite some years. Now that my kids are older and are now enjoying their own friends and gadgets, I seem to have some (too much!) time on my hands. I'm looking forward to reading the threads and offering my humble (IMHO) opinion . I see there are a...

I was wondering what everyone thought about the meaning behind Matthew 7:8 8 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeksfinds. To him who knocks it will be opened I read it to be mainly about prayer and seeking Him. Gracias amigos! :wave:

Hey, everyone, I was wondering if there was a way to lock a home made ringtone to use on my phone. I've got a Samsung Flight (At&T), and I used Audacity to create a short ringtone from a song I have on my computer. Thanks in advance. M

Good evening, everyone :wave: (or as we say here in the south, Howdy, y'all!) I was just wondering if you could point me in the direction of some orthodox blogs on services like blogspot or wordpress. I'd like to get a few on my reader, so I could hopefully explore more aspects of the EEO...
