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

Soon going to join an orthodox church after I would get an visitation from one of the member of the orthodox church near me to guide me. From 11 years of protestantism to orthodox church now. I'm really very excited.. To God all be the glory☦️🙌🏼

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.

I, a convert from the same tradition as you, am only at 4minutes here, and i am really impressed that your family insisted that you actually go into the Greek church to visit rather than only staying outside..

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?

Please give us an explanation if Mary Magdalen is same or different from Mary, sister of Lazarus

@acekoala457 9 ай бұрын

The Icon of the Myrrh Bearers say so. Miriam was a popular name during that period of Judea due to the emphasis of the Pharisees on Moses.

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 7 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 3 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.

Every Orthodox Church is different!!! Some are more evangelical some are old school... You can't judge an entire community by one person!!! I took a road trip for a year and a half went to many different Orthodox Churches they are as different as we are!!! Try another church

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! The Second Commandment against idolatry is recorded in Exodus 20:4-6: 4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath, or in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not worship them nor serve them; for 1, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, inflicting the punishment of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing favor to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments

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.

@SoftBreadSoftware 4 ай бұрын

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