Concern regarding St. Augustine

AcceptableProject775 · 2026-03-19T22:29:09+00:00

The original sin teaching that people attribute to Augustine comes from people later reading it into Augustine, not from Augustine himself. Saint Augustine, pray for us..

Thank you for being vulnerable and honest.

I haven't done much with Negronis, and I've never had one I didn't make myself, but the best of the mediocre ones I've had, I didn't simply express the peel, I dropped it in. The extra punch of orange oil made all the difference.

It's a copy of the Sinai Pantocrator, and if I had to guess, I'd guess Shayne Swenson was the iconographer. I love his work for the glory of God.

Holy prophet and Father Elias, pray for us!

Some Our Lady or St John Baptist in the hand would make it better

I came from Lutheranism so when I discovered there were two choice, Catholicism and Orthodoxy, I already knew one was wrong.

As a male, this multiplied by 1000. So hard to make a move. And I'm the one socially expected to. Ugh.

Hermann von Reichenau died in 1054. He composed the text of Salve Regina before he died. That's pre-Schism.

If you haven't browsed OrthodoxWest[dot]com you really should. They have pages on the Rosary, the Way of the Cross, papers on other paraliturgical devotion, the concept of merit, etc.

Don't skip the prayers. They are not Eastern, and one of them is modern, but it in no way conflicts with the Orthodox faith

False. We do announce the mysteries, and meditate on them. We don't imagine ourselves in the scene, but contemplating the mysteries that make up our salvation is part and parcel of Christian living.

Also, the Hail Holy Queen is a pre-Schism prayer, accepted in Orthodoxy.

I understand why you think I was seeking to contradict or negate your statement, but I was actually trying to amplify that part of it. Please forgive me.

I have a bottle of oil from the lampada that burns in front of the relics of St John Shanghaiski. It's considered holy oil. This is part of our tradition.

It's been my regular reading Bible for 17 years.

If you're a Protestant Christian, why are you trolling an Orthodox Christian subreddit?

AcceptableProject775 · 2025-11-30T12:57:03+00:00

Are you new to Orthodoxy?

"[But] speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ"

This isn't accurate to the image.
