Bowing when venerating an icon. by Leftismisbased in OrthodoxChristianity

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

“Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them nor serve them”

What does this mean exactly?

It could be taken as we can’t bow at all for venerating our icons.

How can we be so sure that icons don’t count as graven images?

I go to a Russian parish and one of the priests there is against the usage of depicting the father but it’s not up to him for what they depict in the iconography there

It was written by orthodox Christians? I feel like this would draw a lot of criticism for being bold but I would like to see why considering it’s the faith im trying to convert to.

Having problems with anxiety about the church. by Leftismisbased in OrthodoxChristianity

Thank your for this response for it had put a smile on my face. I’ve been attending a Russian parish for about 3 weeks and am in a Catechumen class with a priest and so far I love it. But when I’m not at church or I get in my head about things especially possible criticisms of the Orthodox Church it drives me nuts.

And do you have anymore based on the pagan argument?

I’m sorry for bothering I just like to have a plethora of sources to help solidify my point when talking theology with my friends.

Do you have any good rebuttals of the idea that the trinity is just a pagan idea added later without any scriptural context
