    Tradition vs Revelation

    Video Talk Soon I will be turning 73 years old, Lord willing. And I grew up attending gatherings of the church from birth on up. So I grew up believing in and practicing many traditions that were considered Christian traditions or practices and/or beliefs. And I followed most of those...

    Veiling, a Christian practice based upon scripture for almost 2000 years, until modern feminist pride said "no" to those scriptures, and OTHERS. The Holy Spirit through Paul instructs Christian women to wear a head covering in church when they pray and prophesy (1 Corinthians 11). Before you...

    American Tract Society & the American Sunday School Union Agree ~

    Worshipping on Sunday is not Biblical at all...as you can see, even the American Tract Society and the American Sunday School Union admit that the Bible is "silent" on the observance of Sunday and the change of the Sabbath from the 7th to the 1st day of the week. The American Tract Society and...

    When do the biblical days begin?

    Brothers and sister, the 2300-year prophesy that started the Seventh-day Adventist world church was the beginning of a greater understanding of the Sabbath, due to the unit used of "evenings and mornings" that takes us back to the first day. He said to me, "It will take 2,300 evenings and...

    The Bible is the Word of God. Ok, but how do you know that?

    All Christians believe that the book they hold in their hands and that has the word 'Bible' printed on it is the Word of God, inspired and infallibly true. But not all Christians believe this for the same reason. Furthermore, not all Christians have the same Bible. Some have more books than...

    Byzantine Chant recognized by UNESCO as part of Cultural Heritage of Humanity

    Something of interest for us - even if the reasons aren't so spiritual as they should, the Byzantine Chant recognized by UNESCO as part of Cultural Heritage of Humanity. I „spiritualized” the news and also I added some byzantine pieces - one of them from the Christmas service. Enjoy!

    Right and Wrong Judging

    We, as human beings, make judgments every day as to what to wear, what to eat, what to do, what to say and where to go, etc. So, judging, in and of itself, is not wrong. It becomes wrong, though, when we judge wrongly. I have faced a large number of false judgments against myself in my...

    The Ritual of Love

    I noticed how much ritual is in love. Take dating. It is customary that he asks her out. The guy usually shows up at the girl's house. He opens the door of the car. When they eat, he pulls out the chair for her. If they dance he leads. He walks her back to her door. The ritual is then he kisses...

    Why is there a dislike of Traditional Theology?

    I see it a lot in these forums and in real life. What do you think is the motive?

    Apostolic Traditions or small 't' traditions?

    Do the Eastern Orthodox have to believe that all the relics purported to be from the saints and the apostles truly came from them? Do they have to believe that the icon purported to be from St. Luke was indeed painted by St. Luke?

    Tradition(al) Pet Peeves (meant to be fun/blow off steam/no flaming, please)

    So today, June 7/Pashons 13, is the commemoration of one St. Fournous, one of the seventy disciples of Christ, according to the synaxarium of the Coptic Orthodox Church. His entry there is very brief and vague. On this day also, the disciple Phorus (Fournous), one of the seventy disciples...

    Christian tradition and Protestant denial of it

    So let me preface by saying, I know not all Protestants are the same and I know they don't all deny Christian tradition in the same way. Once again, where I'm coming from is a very small corner of the American Evangelical world -- but most of what I have seen personally looks like this. One of...

    The Phenomenon of "Saints of Lost Things"

    I was looking for something completely different when I found YouTube a tamgeed (a kind of paraliturgical hymn sung in the Coptic Orthodox Church; I think the English translation would be "Glorification", but I learned the Arabic word first, sooo...) for Anba Wanas of Luxor. I thought there were...

    Commentary On Jesus Speaking Out Against "the Traditions Of Men"

    The term "binding and loosening" in the NT was originally rabbinic term for the regulation of halaka which was how the commandments would be carried out in ordinary life. We know from reading the NT that pharisees often were too strict in this, not using mercy when establishing these rules and...

    Traditions of man - or the Word of God... pick one

    Creative writing is not the same as actual scripture. Christ condemns the idea of editing/ignoring/disregarding the Commands of God as if such a thing is what God calls for in true worship -- in Mark 7:6-13 6 And He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is...

    Patriarchs

    I have heard that there are 5 main Patriarchs: The Patriarch of Rome, Constantinople, Antioch, Alexandria and Jerusalem. What's exactly their role? Is there an uniformity belief about them among Traditional Christians?

    What does our brother Paul mean by the words "the tradition" in 2 Thessalonians 3:6? 2 Thessalonians 3:6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of...

    Col 2 is not opposing the Bible - it is opposing making stuff up via traditions of man

    proof for Col 2 -- condemning the traditions and doctrines of man - and upholding the Word of God -- Col 2 is opposed to making up a rule and judging others of being guilty of sin because they differ with you, even if that invented rule is related to a Bible command. But Col 2 is not an...

    What effect does the rate of technological change have on our institutions?

    I'm 53 now, and I definitely feel like I'm living in a world that is moving very fast. The rapidity of change is so fast, it is hard to envision what the future holds or how to integrate change. This has become an interesting theme for me to ponder. Religious ideas have been maintained...
