They are already in the system...I am speaking of those curious and watching videos on Youtube as a beginning...they might be discouraged if they see this video!

For what it's worth, it might be useful if Christians would practice articulations that convey the Gospel as a revelation from God according to His purpose, His foreknowledge, and unto His Glory (That's what scripture does).

if a single video discourages someone, they are not curious or serious.

but even then, what’s the solution? telling people who would find a dumb video to be dumb doesn’t actually do anything.

I think if they are in the same world as the author of the video then they are more likely to agree with him even if they are curious...and it would stop there.

if they are curious, it won’t stop there. someone who is actually curious would see what the Orthodox think from the Orthodox.

I’m sorry, what? I don’t understand what you are saying relative to the subject matter of the thread.

The video states there is a false Gospel being promoted yet speaks against infallibility and reverence to Icons as if they have something to do with the Gospel. To elaborate further upon my post, the Gospel is a revelation from God which necessarily means that The Holy Spirit is present with the believer as they come to see and believe. Again, infallibility and Icons have nothing to do with the event of receiving Christ through the preaching of the Gospel.

Are you a member of the Eastern Orthodox Church? (or the Oriental Orthodox for that matter) If so, please explain what you mean, because I still don’t get you.

If not, you can ask us anything about our faith on this forum: St. Basil the Great's Hall

or you can debate any aspect of Eastern Orthodoxy in this forum: St. Justin Martyr's Corner: Debate an Orthodox Chr

I can post a thread for you if you wish to address this issue specifically, if that would help.

As an Eastern Orthodox, I am humbled by the piety of my brethren* on ChristianForums who have made this subforum the only congregational forum on this entire site (to my knolwedge) that provides a space, St. Justin Marty’rs Corner, where non-Orthodox can debate our doctrines; we also offer another forum, St. Basil’s Hall, where anyone can ask us any question they want about our faith.

*I could also say “I’m proud of them”, but in Orthodox Christianity we try to avoid pride; I object to the “LGBTQ Pride” movement not only because it promotes sexual immorality but also pride, a dangerous passion.
