I've given the matter some thought, and feel that the subject of ecclessiology should be returned to on this forum, but perhaps with a different perspective. Rather than indulging disputes about "who is" and "who is not" Orthodox (I mean this amongst those who claim to be Orthodox - not against...

I know along with Serge (believe it or not, this is a subject we seem to agree upon, at least in a few basic respects), I was never a big fan of this war, or the "war on terror" in general. Frankly, I think the tragedy of 9-11 was abused (in terms of the logical connections that were made), to...

Very often the Orthodox position that the communication of the Holy Spirit only exists within the Church of Christ (understood to be the Orthodox Church) is not simply regarded with contempt, but dismissed as being inauthentic and not a part of the genuine Patristic consensus. Given this...

In another thread, a poster said the following regarding the havoc caused by ecumenism and the heresies it entails... It is particularly the second comment which deserves a response. Rather than repeat the work of others, I'll supply the following link. I'd be interested in comments on the...

Speaking of Hal Lindsey, I just saw this add for a book he's put out on the subject of "Jihad", and Islam in general. Reading the pitch for the book, I had some thoughts. https://web7.webrelation.com/ssl/oracle/index.asp?Product=Book&Item=452#452 I can only assume he's talking about Arabs as...
