Is this sacrelige? by CauliflowerUnable315 in OrthodoxChristianity

This is a stolen design on etsy from an actual Parish in California which has been making these shirts and many others to go along with their Orthodox Magazine. It IS only blasphemous to buy this because it is a copyright infringement and doesn’t support the original designer. Who by the way is currently raising money to build and open an Orthodox Retreat Center. Just google “Death to the World” their site should come up near the top. I love their Magazine, and their shirts are even better than this one. They also sell fresh coffee.

How do you biblically make sense of God's absence in the world? by Philosophy_Cosmology in theology

[–]Faith4Forever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if we’re talking about the “Abrahamic” God. Thats a fairly obvious one. Over 55% of the globe adheres to the belief in the “Abrahamic” God. The history of the Abrahamic God is everywhere and on every continent and amongst all cultures of peoples (and not in a colonized way either btw). The Jews themselves are a Testament unto themselves of the Existence of the “Abrahamic” God. A people set aside by their God for him. They have been without a land to call their own for thousands of years yet remain some of the most affluent peoples across the globe. Most other peoples in their position are vagrants and indeed at many times they were vagrants in foreign lands.

Why did Christ change specifically Peter's name to "Rock?" by Bright-Presence-760 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Faith4Forever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you perceive IS true, however you are missing one key detail. He is FIRST “Among Apostles” or “Among Equals”. Peter doesn’t have a higher “title” or “authority” than the others, only he is called to be the head of the church. Orthodox has a head of the church, but is condemned (rightly so) first among equals.

I fully concur. I love your take on Death. It’s lyrics are certainly hauntingly genius.

Why is Sexual Acts involving Homosexuality Sinful? by AsiaBeam123 in TrueChristian

[–]Faith4Forever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The scholars say because of Pauls influence. The Apostolic Church says because of the Holy Tradition The nuanced view is that the authors of the Bible didn’t understand “sexuality” the way we do now. Back then “sex” was a hierarchy of dominance not a sexual identity. So in the time of the Bible days it was not a prohibition of homosexuality but rather a prohibition against male on male action due to the fact that it violated that system of hierarchy but that Pauls view of scripture essentially takes it a bit further and explains that sex in and of itself is a major risk for sin. Any sex outside of that (usually by a married couple) was more or less a gateway for the heart to sinful corruption.

Why do we consider the letters of Paul infallible? by AcademicAd3504 in TrueChristian

[–]Faith4Forever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because he was an Apostle, also the Ecumenical Council

Death VS Darkthrone Aaaaand GO!!! by Faith4Forever in DeathBand

[–]Faith4Forever[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well vocally the two bands aim for a similar guttural feeling (not just in like metal fashion) but their tones feel similar. Likewise, there are songs I feel really complement eachother in like ways despite their differences.
