    Wheel of Time Series

    Has anyone watched it, and if so, what did you think? I stopped watching after 15 minutes. The casting was pathetic as no one is like they are described in the books except for Rand who does have a resemblance. Mat is supposed to be a gambler, not crazed gambling addict. Heck, even the landscape...

    From the Bone of Adam: St. Irenaeus on the Creation of Eve

    "The Genesis account of Eve being created from the rib of Adam has, throughout history, often been interpreted in negative ways. In this week’s broadcast, through a brief text by St. Irenaeus of Lyons, Archimandrite Irenei examines a patristic vision of this creation grounding the true intimacy...

    Vacation Sermon

    I visited a church today while on vacation and was pretty shocked by the sermon. I've never heard one like this in any Orthodox church. The priest announced personal prophecies he stated received from the archangel Michael, and from God as well. I'm assuming this isn't okay? He also presented a...

    Does God Like Us?

    We know from the Bible that God loves us. Does he actually like us as well? Does he like some of us but not others? Does he like us if we behave well, but not if we behave poorly? What do you think?

    Skimpy Communion

    Lately, we've been getting basically a small crumb in some wine for communion. Is this because it's Great Lent or because attendance was underestimated? Or perhaps some other reason...?

    Happy Purim!

    Don't drink too much. ^_^ Anyone dressing up or have a costume for their children? So far today, I've seen people dressed as a hotdog, hamburger, dragon and chicken.

    Covid Utility Shut-offs

    Nanny paves the way for Big Brother. But it's for our own good! Under what other circumstances might it become acceptable for the government to shut off necessary utilities that people pay for? The mayor of LA threatened to cut power and water to houses hosting parties after YouTube and TikTok...

    Faith's Power

    Does the faith we have as Christians help God to actualize His will in our temporality?

    Kabbalah

    What is the Eastern Orthodox view of Jewish Kabbalah? And how about Christian Kabbalistic theology based on it?

    Anyone know a recipe for a gluten-free roux that is actually good? I want to make a bechamel sauce.

    Favorite Video Game Location?

    If you could turn any video game location into a real place for a week, what would it be? I'd choose the forest temple from Ocarina of Time, Zeal from Chrono Trigger and Bangkorai from Elder Scrolls Online.

    A Good Defense

    EDIT- This is The Orthodox Forum. Orthodox responses please. So, every Liturgy, we pray for a good defense before the fearful judgement seat of Christ. What is a good defense?

    Help with Dinner!

    I have to cook some gourmet food for a small dinner party in a few weeks. Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal, but everything has to be vegan. And it can't have any corn or onion. I plan to start with a salad of mixed greens, tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, pecans and dried cranberry with an...

    The Nicene Creed

    Since this is the basic foundation of what all Christians (Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Protestant) believe, how important do you think it is to have it memorized? Do you have it memorized? Does your church use this creed or another (i.e., Apostles' Creed)?

    Difference between teaching and indoctrination?

    I've heard a lot of non-believers complain that Christian children are being indoctrinated. I'm sure most Christian parents don't see it that way. To me, indoctrination implies brainwashing someone, with some measure of force or penalty for going against what one is taught. Teaching, on the...
