Well, I have to leave CF. Very abrupt, I know. Parents have begun persecuting for faith, trying to destroy everything that reminds me of Orthodoxy. Can't say much else, but I am strong in my faith, and I will not leave the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church ever, even if I am not allowed...

I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for all my labor. Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind...

After taking the Autism Spectrum Quotient, I scored a whopping 41, 50 being the max and 17 being normal for males. (http://www.msnbc.com/modules/newsweek/autism_quotient/default.asp) So, I guess my question now is: What does it all mean?

What is needed to start a decent consulting firm? I have been told quite often that a lot of the ideas I have and advice I give is top quality, so I am seriously considering starting a business around it. The main services would probably be targetted toward both individuals and small...

Hello everyone! I have returned! :wave: To keep you up to date, I have finished moving, and everything is going well in the new house. Finally, I have an icon corner! Unfortunately, only dial-up is available out here, so I will not be able to participate as much, but I will be around. I...

One of the purposes of government is to let people focus on higher things. For example, food and shelter are often regulated by government so that people can focus not on getting enough food, but on getting comfort items. And, defense is also regulated by government, so that people do not have...

Well, I have made it, through the grace of our Lord, to 10,000 posts! Thank you everyone for helping me along in my conversion to Orthodoxy, may God grant you many years :clap: PS: I am a Knight now too!

How much is too much of the world? Lately I have had the desire to, and have been, playing computer games. This is abnormal for me. Is there some way I can counter this? I suppose I am compensating for no really good debate threads on CF, but I don't know, I think there is more to it...

How did the Nephilim come about? Any special notes in regards to them?

I am doing well so far with subtly destroying the eschatological heresy, but how do I confront the JW beliefs about the Church and the Trinity? Right now, he is claiming the Church apostasized right around 100, yes, 100, and, of course, that the Trinity is part of this heresy. Any solid...

I am going to be a catechuman on Sunday! :clap: Also, I just got back from a teen retreat. I had trouble with the most of the teens (:P) but I did get to talk to the priests and deacons that came. And, I got a large icon of Christ Pantocrator at the monastery :) Anyways, is there anything...

How much should we debate false teachings and heresies we see on CF? Should we let some go, or fight them all?

Welcome to ChristianForums Strategic Command. Please do not post without invitation!

We Need to Unite I'll say this again if you missed it: We Need to Unite In the past hour, I have seen some very unholy things done. There is a war here on CF. Love is not winning right now. If we do not do something, CF could be lost. We may all be liberal for different reason, but the...

What is the Orthodox view on angels? Do they have free will? Do they have to be baptized? I am very confused as you can see :P

WesWoodell directed me to start a new thread in which Orthodoxy vs RM could be discussed. Ok Wes, what is heretical about Orthodoxy?

I think more of us, myself included, need to watch over the Outreach Forum. I see a lot of the evangelicals there, and they are definately giving some help to the non-Christians. But, that only goes so far. They need the Church. Thanks Oblio for trying hard over there. Let us all try to imitate...

What is the Restoration Movement, who is part of it, etc?

Does anyone here know the status of the talks for unity between us?

What is the Orthodox position on the differing views of creation? If there is not a set position, what do most Orthodox hold to? Any resources from the Early Church Fathers?
