You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to katherine2001 again.



Indeed, the Orthodox Divine Liturgy is Heavenly Worship par excellence.

Man-made traditions? The last time I read the Bible, it said that Christ celebrated the Last Supper -- which is the origin of the Divine Liturgy. Our Divine Liturgy which Christ gave us is 99% from the Scriptures.

As you have truly said, Katherine, their 'worship' is deficient with all its praise bands and non-scriptural hymns.

I believe one of the chief fixtures of Hell will be PowerPoint presentations.

I believe one of the chief fixtures of Hell will be PowerPoint presentations.

Yes the particularly long ones, too small font, and where the presenter reads every word written on it... with some utterly tacky background...

*Kolya stares cross-eyed at Khaleas, then goes back to playing imaginary guitar and mumbling...."Kumbaya my...."*

Point proven... you're as nuts as I am !

Hugs to you and Seraphima and the critters...

OK, gotta take my shadow for a walk and maybe he'll leave me alone... darn dog woke me up early and then I couldn't get back to sleep... so I read a bit more of St Silouan the Athonite... big fat book but seems very very interesting.

Rob,

Want to debate? Huh?
Who says I can't debate here?
What are you gonna do about it?
Call a moderator?

Seriously - congratulations and may God grant you many years.

What debate here and OBOB? You Melkites just think you can have it both ways don't you...

Well, he got to close his first thread. Too bad it wasn't this one though. Guess we weren't offensive enough.

Maybe this will do it:

ALL WHO ARE DOING POSTING ON TAW IS SERGIAN-ECUMENICIST-PAN-HERETIC!!!! ALL ARE GOING TO BURN IN HELL (except me) !!!!!! IS VERY OUTRAGE TO BE BELIEVING OTHERWISE!!!! ALL ARE PART OF SO-TO-BE-CALLED 'WORLD ORTHODOXY'!!!!!!

That should do nicely. Because we all know that to make sure your point is made you have to use large letters and highlight imporant words with various colors. It serves to confuse and dazzle your opponent.

Well, we are the best of both worlds, or hadn't you heard?

I am glad Rob locked that other thread. It was starting to make my head hurt...

Well I don't know 'bout y'all but I am dazzled :o

Actually just my first thread closure in TAW

You kiddies fight nice & I won't have to close more of 'em!!

 

[ExOrienteLux]

I really like the sig, Rob! Sounds like something I'd say!

And what is this 'nice' of which you are speaking? Is Western innovation! True Orthodox are crotchety peoples who like to be watching ANN and to be saying "IS OUTRAGE!!!" often!

[Zinnia]

I feel so at home here!

I wonder why!
