Allow me to echo what John has said. Neither of us has justified anything. On the contrary, we have pointed out the fallibility of man which can (and has) caused rifts in the Church. Does that make it right…

This is interesting. I don't think I've ever noticed this until now. Thank you for pointing it out. Here's my poor attempt at an interpretation. Joseph, being Mary's husband, was permitted to have relation…

What do you mean by that? You have just gotten a written statement by H.H. If you wish further evidence that the OO and the EO do in fact share the same Christology, here is an article by H.E. Metropolitan B…

Welcome to the site Elena. I hope you find it insightful. Feel free to post any questions you have. I'm sure everyone here will be more than happy to help in anyway possible.

The Oriental Orthodox Churches are not Monophysite, and the Eastern Orthodox Churches are not Dyophysite. Both Churches are Miaphysite. The cause of the split in 451 was mainly due to semantics and misunders…

We don't support the Big Bang. Why? Because it brigns up more questions then answers how did this explosion occur, how can all this matte…

I agree. In this present age, ego is not the sole contributor to the schism and there are other issues which must be looked into with patience, humility and discernment. However, looking at the Council of 45…

Suicide is a twofold sin. Firstly, it is murder. You are taking away your own life, which you have no authority to do. Since murder is a sin (which is forgivable), if confessed, one can be forgiven. Howeve…

Thank you kindly for your permission, though I didn't realize I needed it. Once again, lighten up. No one else seems to have a problem, so I fail to see why you do.

Any and all historical documents are inherently biased, and so we will never be able to know for certain what happened. Was St. Cyril involved in the murder of Hypatia? Most likely. How involved was he and …

Methinks you should lighten up a bit. This was a joke that was between myself and another individual. It was addressed to this individual, and thus if he had a problem with it, he should be the one addressin…

I would love to see anything that says that the Church denounces the Big Bang. I do not see it in anyway contradicting Genesis. That is true of other scientific theories that 'appear' to go against Scripture.

As far as I'm concerned, the OO and EO have identical Christology. So everything Orthodox11 has said is in line with the Church's teaching.

Now, a serious contribution. I would like to add Abouna Matta El-Meskeen (Matthew the Poor) to the list so far, if for nothing else then his book Orthodox Prayer Life: The Interior Way. It is truly a phenome…

At the request of a certain someone (who shall remain nameless), I have taken it upon myself to respond to this thread. All I want to say is:
