The Ukrainian Orthodox Church – They’re being attacked by the leftist government and the leftist Orthodox Church of Ukraine (schismatic church that was created by Constantinople) Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR) – They’re being sued by a canonically defrocked priest because he wants to force ROCOR to recognize his status as a bishop by […]
What does evolution mean for a Christian?
By

Evolution implies that as a species we improve biologically gradually over time. Part of this process includes birthing and dying and is a critical component because birthing alone would not improve the gene pool because that would mean nothing will push the species to improve if we were all immortal. Since dying is part of […]
War in Russian and Ecumenical Bribery
By

Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew accepted a $25 million dollar bribe from the US CIA to cause instability in Ukraine by implementing the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (Greek) when there was already the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate). This caused a schism in the Orthodox church because it was not canonical what he did. I’m wondering if […]
Transfiguration

Jesus Transfigured while still alive and then transfigured back into a human. Isn’t this a little odd since the transfiguration is what we hope to obtain AFTER death? Jesus transfigured while alive and after His death.
If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.

Why does the Church close when there’s a pandemic? I would rather give my life to worship my God than to let a virus stop me. Greek Orthodox Church, YOU HAVE MADE THE WRONG CHOICE IN CLOSING. Let us decide what our lives are worth. I give all to my God!

Have Mercy on Me

Lord have mercy on me, a sinner. What does this mean? I know the basics means that the Lord shows leniency on those of us who commits sins, but what more is there? It means, forgive us, for we know not what we do. I know this sounds like a cliche if you’re familiar with […]
Fall of Lucifer, a speculation

For a couple of weeks, I have been speculating on the why Lucifer fell from heaven. I hope I can share my speculations, and you guys can let me know if it’s heretical or whatever because I love conversation. Anyway, about 20 years ago a Muslim friend of mine told me that Lucifer rebelled because […]

What does it mean to be made in the image of God? I have pondered this question for many years and have learned varied answers. Some say that we’re like God because we have a body, soul, and spirit (aka body, mind, and soul). And after pondering this for many years, it came to me, […]
God’s Love

Let me tell you a little about my arrogance. I had a belief that God loved me more than other people. Then the teaching I learned in Orthodoxy says God loves us all the same. For some reason this made me heartbroken, so I was angry; and I don’t know why. I think it was […]
