    Father Laurent Cleenewerk’s Eastern/Greek Orthodox Bible OLD Testament Translation Accidentally Discovered?

    I saw on the Orthodox Reddit board an interesting thread: someone was looking thorough Orthodox sites trying to find a copy of a book. They accidentally found this: https://www.xeniamission.info/ARL/bible/eob/eobot.pdf I know and own copies of Father Laurent’s EOB New Testament. Years ago he...

    Close, but those three humans have three wills and so on. The Trinity shares the one Divine Will and are one in all things, except for hypostasis.

    Pope Embraces Islam

    Hey now, stop spreading misinformation! As Joseph Smith taught us all it’s Quakers that live on the moon.

    Prayer requests post here!

    Please pray for ROCOR as they hold their synod of bishops coming shortly to elect a first hierarch, and for the Western Rite of ROCOR. Many are nervous about what may be.

    Prayer requests post here!

    Please pray for Don (baptismal name Andrew), my godfather’s father-in-law. He had a heart attack today and will be deciding over the next day how to proceed with treatment.

    Origin of Giants after Noah flood

    No reason to feel that way. I’ve done so much worse myself.

    The transcript should be right at the bottom of the page.

    I just had to share this.

    Russian media attitudes towards war on Ukraine (Orthodox-related)

    Sadly your last point is very much on the mark. Where I grew up no one would show racist beliefs because they would be shunned by pretty much everyone. Where I live now and cannot wait to leave a swastika tattoo is as common as a tribal tattoo in a frat house. Lord have mercy.

    Origin of Giants after Noah flood

    This (A Land of Giants - The Lord of Spirits | Ancient Faith Ministries) is a good podcast discussing it.

    Too sweet.

    Bibles?

    Come to the Midwest and take a look at the many church signs with a bold “1611” symbol. We meet people where they are. Her mother wants the KJV, she should get the KJV. It just so happens that it’s also a highly approved English translation by Orthodoxy, so a win!

    Bibles?

    If she is requesting a KJV I wouldn’t go with the Orthodox Study Bible. Many American Fundamentalist Christians see newer translations as downright evil. A good way to plant an Orthodox seed would be buying her the New Cambridge Paragraph Bible. The version I will link, that I own, includes most...

    Forgive me, but I’m getting tired of this. :(

    Without a bishop, there is no priest.

    Archbishop Elpidophoros of America at Black Lives Matter Demonstration

    Is there a way to petition the administrators for F.E.A.R. to be banned for obvious, blatant and admitted racism?

    Papal Infallibility - Making me sad, and it's bigger implication

    Eh, with Roman Catholicism deflection of copypasta of selected Saints’ words out of context is the best one can get. I can’t say I blame them. It’s a hard time to have faith in Roman Catholicism’s claims about itself, especially when so much of ancient Christian history can be found easily...

    Papal Infallibility - Making me sad, and it's bigger implication

    My friend, I’ve been there. I can still clearly remember the day and hour itself when I realized that Rome’s claims were false. There wasn’t even anger but only sadness. It was heartbreaking, and my best advice is to tell you to embrace the heartache. Work through it. Deal with it, otherwise it...

    Baptism and babies

    A holy Orthodox baptism makes us children of God, in the John 1:12 and 3:5 sense. That alone is reason enough for an infant’s baptism.

    What's the meaning of 1st Maccabees?

    Emotion can never be what we base the true Faith on. As Jeremiah said, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately corrupt; who can understand it?”

    New Calendar / Old Calendar Information

    If I’m not mistaken the Russian Orthodox Church (and perhaps all Slavic Orthodox Churches) are on the old Julian calendar.
