You look at orthodoxy and speak about it with a kind of enthusiasm that we do not have in the east, where you have churches every few blocks and everything has been part of normal life since centuries. I love that and it is why I love listening to many american priests. May God convert all of America!

I believe Father Seraphim Rose spoke briefly about this in one of his recovered recordings you can find here on KZbin. Not going to speak for him, though, i do not remember well everything that was said on that video. Basically, when a society becomes "converted" and accustomed to their majority religion, there is no more much of that zeal there was before, because when everyone else belongs to the same religion as yourself, you do not have the same need for "evangelization", so to speak. You can observe this not only in Orthodox countries, for it is common to all religions across the world. In my country, Brazil, for example (a majority catholic nation), most nominally "catholic" people are not really religious and participant in church life. Minority religions will always be more active and militant than majority religions, for sadly it is human nature not to value that which we already have. Of course, this is an opportunity for Holy Orthodoxy to evangelize and spread to other countries, but the need for Orthodox countries to guard themselves from falling into the same pit is urgent. Please pray for me, and for my country. May God have mercy on our souls, and may the Orthodox church become more well-known by people all across the world.

My Eastern orthodox friends, I have a question and I by no means am here to argue but wanting to learn. I’m a reformed Baptist and I believe in original sin but I have heard that EO does not teach this. Two questions then 1- is this true? 2- If so, how is this explained in EO theology? Thank you again my friends.
@dylanarmour6727Ай бұрын
We believe in the inherited corruption of sin and death from Adam but not in inherited guilt or personal culpability for our fathers sins. We believe St Augustines teaching but we also have a different model of the atonement than most Protestants so it might be confusing at first without proper context of the orthodox understanding of the fall and the atonement
@HumbleRusticАй бұрын
@@dylanarmour6727Thank you for the reply friend. Another question then, if you can briefly explain: what is your theology then of the atonement?
@YxvxnАй бұрын
@@HumbleRustic i am not an expert and i will have trouble phrasing this, so i will try to be simple by just saying that in Eo tradition we View the fallen state more as some sort of illness or distortion of our likeness with God rather than a grudge that God is holding against us. As such, He is not against us, we are, in the context of our sinful nature, against him. The Work of the cross is not Jesus being the substitute target of God's punishment but rather He takes all sin and the curse to destroy it and conquer death. It's restorative, not punitive. In scripture there is nothing pointing out that the father is ever "angry" towards the Son during the crucifixion. Also, it would be conflicting for God to both love to save the world even when the world is lost and at the same time to be eager to have someone pay the price. Coming from that, the cross is about dealing with sin and the fall of men, not with the anger of God. I am sorry if i did a poor job, i hope someone else explains it to you in a more theological language soon enough

I'm not an expert, so get a second opinion... However, I think the answer is yes. To be a true orthodox Christian, one has to become baptised, chrismated, and then take part in the eucharist. There will be a special ceremonial day as part of the liturgy where the catechumins finally get baptised and Chrismated and then partake of the eucharist. It isn't a 'special' eucharist that only the initiates take, as all eucharist is Christ's body and blood. Hope that answers the question.
