I don’t know if Father Conan knows this but he was one of the biggest influences for me to become Orthodox and he is my son’s Priest. Father if you happen to read this, that’s why I gave you that Bible. It was the only thing I could do without breaking out in tears if I was to tell you how much I appreciate your influence

Eating together after mass to have fellowship in Christ, prayer and fasting, are also New Testament. I didn't understand why we didn't have that in the Lutheran church. Now I'm Orthodox and I feel like I'm home with Jesus Christ.

@partlysimpson5154 Ай бұрын

Feeling? Is it based on emotion?

@valerieprice1745 Ай бұрын

@@partlysimpson5154 it's based on Scripture. The disciples broke bread together with their parishoners after worship, and Christians are explicitly urged to do the same. Obviously, we share a vocabulary, but we don't share a dictionary, or figurative speech. If you read many books, especially old books, you will find that English and American authors often used "I feel" to mean, getting the sense of something, or becoming aware of something. I try not to engage with semantics, as it's an annoying tactic in challenging someone's assertion, but of late, I've decided to define words, rather than blowing it off, simply because many people enjoy reading the common usage and understanding of words laid out for people who fly off into semantics, as though they were making a point.

I am contemplating to convert after having gone to Armania. I need to know more about the process of leadership like is it like the catholic church where seminarians are ordained as priests after graduation? I want to know first who my leaders will be like is it the Bishop? How does one become a bishop? And do I get to drink the wine or have the Holy Eucharist dipped in the Holy Wine (Blood of my Lord) during communion?

Mary Magdalene was a wealthy woman, a fervent disciple of the Lord after He delivered her from many demons. She was part of the retinue that provided meals, etc to Him and His Apostles and disciples. Mary of Bethany was sister, along with Martha of Bethany, of Lazarus whom Christ raised from his four-day death. These siblings provided the meals to Christ our God and devoted their lives to Him - Lazarus becoming a Bishop after Pentecost in Cyprus for the flock there. See Orthodox wiki and other historical sources from Orthodox history.

I am curious about the adjustments from Jewish worship to the orthodox worship. How and why were the changes made to become Christ centered? I believe Christ guided Moses in writing the Torah and showing the Jews how to worship, so why has that changed?

@johnnyd2383 10 ай бұрын

Oldest two known liturgy texts were written by St. Mark and St. James.... yes... Gospel writer and Epistle writer. Guess Who guided them to write texts of the first Christian worship services.

@JudithMatta 6 ай бұрын

St James, the "brother" of the Lord Jesus, gathered the prayers for the Eucharistic "breaking of the Bread" after Pentecost - the title given to the Liturgy and fulfillment of the Passover Lamb Who is Christ, as He is shared among His flock in order to nourish them with His Own Life and Divine Energies!

I attended the Divine Liturgy for two months. I wanted to experience a different service so my family went to a Friday night service to honor St John of Shanghai. Very few people there. After an hour and a half I was told I could leave if I wanted. The choir director said this to me in front of my wife and child. Needless to say I left and never went back. The Orthodox need to work on being inclusive. They can be closed off and not welcoming. My wife would even cover her head in the church which is a custom.

People seeking redemption by any other way than being "born again" is futile. Most run from cult to cult looking for another way to God, rather than obey the gospel, preached by a man ordained of God to preach. A lot of religious groups have almost eliminated preaching, for theatrics and tradition.

@@GodsServant1953 Dude, I am a Christian. If your stance is that orthodoxy and Catholicism are pagan idol worshippers then you’re calling the apostles themselves pagan idol worshippers because all the traditions of the Orthodox Church are passed down directly from the apostles themselves. Dude the church had already existed for 4 decades before the Bible was even written. How do you think they worshipped the lord without the Bible?? Through tradition like Divine Liturgy and the sacraments, kinda dumb to expect people to interpret the gospel for themselves when at the time most people couldn’t read😂😂

God is totally against icons!

Sorry it is a silly argument to say we don't have alter and priesthood like in the old testament and then jump to Revelation. The point is right there earthly priesthood service of old testament are over when the high prist ( Jesus Christ) enters into heaven. In revelation it is in heaven not on earth.

You seem to imply we are supposed to act differently on earth than how we should/will act in heaven. This is absolutely silly.

St Paul says “i am a priest ministering to the people of God” in Romans 15. Another apostle (one of the 70), Clement of Rome, refers to the bishop as the high priest of the church, and the presbyters as the priests. Hebrews 5 says “let no man take this office unto himself saving he who is called of God as Aaron was called.” St. Paul describes ordination as a sacrament. Presbyters are priests to the church. Hebrews says “we have an altar”. St Paul mentions the “holy table” to the Corinthians. The didache repeatedly refers to the Eucharist as a sacrifice.
