    Nice death?

    Not a "nice" way to die. certainly, but definitely blessed. I read a story through Google Translate. The translation wasn't perfect, but what I read suggested that this priest died from a bomb blast, and dies praying for others. That sounds truly blessed to me.

    Is this an appropriate prayer request?

    :) It is absolutely appropriate, and I am happy to keep Mindy in my prayers.

    Russian Patriarch Honors Communist Party Leader

    I don't know if you are the only one, that's why I used the plural. No need for apologies, Dot. This is the first time anyone has said anything. Your heart was always in the right place, of that I am sure. Since I've come back though, I've seem him constantly overstep his bounds, getting...

    Russian Patriarch Honors Communist Party Leader

    True. Eastern Orthodox members should remind him of this, instead of encouraging him.

    St. Ambrose, St. Bede, St. Ephriam are a few that I can think of just off the top of my head.

    Priorities

    You know that lion picture going around? Well... I'm just as disgusted by the pleasure I see in the shooters face... But let's talk priorities, people. 3,500 people murdered EVERY SINGLE DAY. Yea, pass on by, "Christian", pretend that there is nothing you can do. Stay quiet, just like the...

    Happy 4th!

    While we enjoy our charred animal flesh (my favorite!), alcohol, and explosives: It is good that we are free to protest hypocrisy, cruelty, and slaughter without fear of reprisal. Our real test will be to continue speak for our homeless and pre-born brothers and sisters when we no longer have...

    OT: Share songs you like of any genre of any era! (3)

    As Slayer gets older, it's inevitable that they would mellow out a little... But they must be opening for Celine Dion in Las Vegas! lol, enjoy. YouTube

    Hypothetically speaking...

    Don't worry Riley, he's just upset, dragging his personal issues from one discussion into another. It's really nothing to do with you or this discussion at all. That said, gzt's advise is sound. Trust in God and His promises. Trust in His Church, the Pillar and Ground of Truth. If you are so...

    Yea. Mmm hm. You're right, but you couldn't discern Elder Joseph's real point. Oh, except for your pet subject. Riiiight.

    Protestant Alarmists

    My priest was asked about end times in an enquirer class. He said that for those who watch the signs (i.e. those who take Holy Scripture seriously), every age looks like the end times, intentionally. Every age IS the end time for us. There will be a final end time, but the time for me to...

    EO & evolution

    ... So you think whining incessantly about perceived slights does the same? Actually, I'll quote one in your own camp as my final answer: Yea, I've read it, well over a year ago. Typical slander. I've never seen anything like what he describes in any of the people who respect Fr. Seraphim's...

    EO & evolution

    The very same St Basil who is also called “the revealer of heavenly mysteries” (Ouranophantor), a “renowned and bright star,” and “the glory and beauty of the Church.” But yea, he was just an ignorant fundamentalist... But it's just because he didn't have the science of today to enlighten...

    EO & evolution

    Yes, that is very refreshing, especially coming from the evolutionist camp.

    EO & evolution

    Actually, it's kind of a pitiful article, making many of the same assumptive errors he claims "other" evolutionists make. It is honest though, in that he comes right out and admits he thinks the Fathers are wrong. An honesty that is missing from most every other article or conversation I've seen.

    EO & evolution

    I've read all the articles. I found none of them to be convincing. I wanted them to convenience me... Coming from atheism, through liberal Lutheranism... I was desperate to see how the Early Church Fathers writings could be compatible with what I had always believed. As for the books... Sorry...
