What would it take for Orthodoxs to come under Pope

[LittleLambofJesus]

I understand your perspective. I was a righteous protestant, too.

Better turning into a righteous catholic/Orthodox than an un-righteous Muslim.

We are also told to turn the other cheek.

We are, but we are also told to speak the truth in love. While I do have occassions where I need to apologize for how I say things, it isn't often that I need to apologize for what I have said.

I'm more likened to an unrighteous Orthodox.

Is that the same as saying "you're going to hell", stated in a loving manner?

The truth does offend some.

Or in this case, lies.

LOL I heard Irish diplomacy is the ability to tell someone to go to hell in a way that makes them look forward to the trip.


No, I never intended to make you think I didn't see you as brothers and sisters in Christ or that I thought you were going to hell.


EDIT: if that was honeslty percieved from my posts, I do apologize, as that was not my intent.

then quit telling lies.

Not if someone really believes it is the Truth.

If I may also be blunt those "occasions" are more often than you may realize. I do feel that you intentionally choose to word your responses or answers in such a fashion to give insult to fellow Christians because you do not agree with a particular teaching. I have noticed this behavior in several threads.

That is what we call Protestant Postmodernism.

Says someone who is pontificating about icons, something I doubt you have ever seen, let alone studied.

No need to apologize. I should not have been offended, which is no fault of yours.

Very cool. There's nothing like partaking of the Liturgy in Ancient Greek.

If you want 100% English, come to Holy Trinity (Russian) in Overland Park, Kansas. My mother-in-law (coC) attended with us a couple of weeks ago and thought it was "very beautiful".

Love,

then you would be mistaken, but that's ok.

Thank you, but I should try to be more careful in the future.
