Scripture and Eastern Orthodoxy

I started to write this as a comment to providence4u on this thread here , but felt that this probably warrants a post on its own. When it comes to dialogue between Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant, there seems to be continual discussion of Scripture and Church tradition as though they were two separate sources. This is not the way the Orthodox understand Scripture; Scripture and ...

Comments frozen...

... on the previous post, due to our inability to consistently monitor the thread over the Thanksgiving holiday ;) If you want to debate with the OP, I suggest you take it up in his community- ljchristians will also be holding posts in the queue until Thanksgiving has passed. Enjoy giving thanks to God with or without your family and friends, and I pray that all of you have had a blessing-...

Licentians! Tonight.. we dine.... in HECK...

... for joining our new community. I can tell already, as I know many of you, that we have a good mix of religious and political perspectives in the community. From the kind folks at LJChristians , at least two pastors or Christian apologists have come; I can see some friends from the Buddhists community that will be excellent perspective sources in debates, and some of you others I know from the ...

How long is a generation?

... chapter one, is almost certain to bewilder the casual reader, especially if they haven't read about those introductory Generations in Genesis. How many generations from Adam to David? How many from Adam to Jesus? The answers may surprise you, and hopefully bring some to a better awareness of Our Great Author. http://www.cswnet.com/~duxrow/webdoc5.htm x-posted to ljchristians [in queue]

Hello! A couple of kinda odd history-related questions...

Greetings, ljchristians ! Please forgive a newbie for posting this, but I read the rules and it didn't seem to be too far off-topic, so I'm hoping one of you good folks would be able to help me... See, I'm something of an amateur historian, and I want to do some research to help out a friend of mine.! I wanted to know a bit about marriage customs of the nobility in France and England ...

Non-Christians who marry

... question I thought of many years ago. If two non-Christians marry outside of a Christian ceremony, is it considered holy matrimony? Are they wedded in accordance to the promise in Genesis (a man cleaves to his wife, becomes one flesh etc.)? What about Christians who marry in a civil ceremony? What does your church / Church teach?

Trinitas cogitationesqve...

Hello everyone! =) I have a few questions. Please espond by including your denomination's interpretations/answers as well as including your own personal musings but making a fine and clear distinction between the two: 1) Does Jesus, as the pre-incarnate Word, make an appearance in the Old Testament or is the God of the Old Testament only the God the Father? 2) What significance, if any, does ...

original sin

... this question. I also know there are Christians that don't believe in original sin (my college chaplain was one, for instance). So, for those of you that reject original sin, how did you come to that conclusion? How do you support it? And what difference does it make to your faith? Any other thoughts are welcome as well.

Matters of the Heart

... and time again with many rebukes. The Spirit will reach and convict the heart. The changing of the heart is what is important. I have read many responses and posts in many communities (jesusfreaks,christianity,ljchristians,e tc) that I would take issue with. But as many times as I've messed up with the Lord, who am I that I would rebuke someone arrogantly believing that I have fullness of truth?...
