@@serbskijhristijanin wonderful, thank you! St. Ambrose Bishop of Milan ...I'm familiar with his bio. Thank you

@@evahernandez8156 So you're on the Old Calendar?

That's a form of astrology

He is an Eastern Orthodox priest.

Ahh! Glad to see the atheist larping as a satanist here! Faith comes by hearing, and you heard ;)

Thanks for your call.

@@hattorihanzo2275 Glad you got it.

There are very many things we do in life that are not in the New Testament. We still do them. One example being crossing yourself as a form of prayer. The evidence is that crossing yourself was a practice done by very early Christians, written in the 3rd century as being a very old tradition. Very many Traditions of the Church developed in tandem with the development of Scripture. In fact, the New Testament itself is one of the Orthodox Traditions which developed from the Orthodox Church. The New Testament importantly mentions many thing that should NOT be done, and none of these are mentioned, even though it was a time when many current practices of Orthodox Christians would have been done..

@@ArchangelIcon But they shouldn't push their later man-made traditions on the people. Every church I know forces it own doctrine and practice on people, which is against Christian freedom. If God or Jesus commands or ordains it it has more merit than religious tradition.

@@scented-leafpelargonium3366 Life is full of 'traditions' 'forced on you'. Our societies are filled with them, and you willingly comply, and you probably don't have any problem with that. The Church is a spiritual hospital. It's Traditions are designed to help to guide you to salvation. They aren't forced on you. They are a choice. Accept or reject, just as when a doctor prescribes treatment for an illness, you are free to not take it.

You should probably learn what the definition of idolatry is before you start slinging misguided "corrections".

Wild guess. U have no knowledge of Christian history for the first 15 centuries, before the Reformation.

Our icons are not idols for us.

Pls read God's word cone out of religion his word is his commandment.

by 'him' do you mean God? please make your comments clearer. you don't understand what the First Commandment means; it is prohibiting the worship of false gods via idols. remember in the Holy of Holies there were 2 statues of cherubim (as directed by God). after the Incarnation is became legitimate and good to make Icons of Our Lord, His All Holy Mother and His Saints. try to understand we venerate, respect and love the All Holy Ever Virgin Mother and the Saints which is DIFFERENT from worship. only God the Life Giving Trinity is worshipped.

why is it dumb?

If you have nothing nice to say, please say nothing at all.

You have Bible ( that our Church has protected trought centuries) and nothong else. We have Bible, Chuch in wich that Bible was writen and for wich was writen, understaned and we have Holy Tradition ( in fact, the way how we should understand Bible, writen by holy fathers from second centuries) and we do not understand Holy Sripture, but you who have only Bible, you ubderstand Bible bether than Orthodox Church.
