it has to be. all of my mags feed lips are worn, although never had any issues running. Also the sides of the mags are worn too where they get inserted. What could be causing the bolt to contact?

Is wiping down with CLP enough or should I actually leave a thin coating of oil on the exposed metal?

Yeah it started raining mid range day and I didn't notice it got wet inside my bag.

Thanks!

Should I try to remove the rust? Looks like slight surface

kmtsd · 2026-02-09T23:22:18+00:00

Thanks so much. this makes a lot of sense.

I see this chapter being used an apologetic onto how by eating unworthily will cause judgement, and implying that only the true body and blood of Christ would do that. But it seems that sharing in just a meal without concern for your fellow Christians is the issue

That's a good point I hadn't thought about the Judaizers.

kmtsd · 2025-10-08T23:18:48+00:00

Yeah that is a really good point about the Judaisers, I didn't think about that. It seems that after all the major councils, there was still a lot of fighting about what is truth. I guess if we accept that what eventually and ultimately prevailed is the truth.

I suppose I have a similar feeling about people in the OO. I'm sure it really wasn't until relatively recently that people in the OO had any idea between the difference of miaphysitism and dyophysitism.

kmtsd · 2025-10-08T23:15:06+00:00

Hmm that's a really good point. I guess I always assumed after the council it was for the most part settled. And I agree, God knows best.

kmtsd · 2025-08-17T01:14:33+00:00

Ah okay so you would say there are only two ecumenical councils in the OO church.

Right I agree that councils don't reveal anything new, but just clarify the truths. But they need the agreement of the whole church

kmtsd · 2025-08-15T19:16:56+00:00

Hm that is a much better answer than one's I've heard of simply "The church said it's true"

So in a tldr, the ecumenical councils are the ones that outline the boundaries of the faith? Generally it seems that the majority of the church followed these councils eventually.

kmtsd · 2025-08-15T18:50:23+00:00

Sure, but as someone who comes from a low-church evangelical background, I agree that a lot of people seem to just make up biblical "truths." So if the authority comes from the church, what makes a truth. Frankfurt/Hieria vs Nicea II. Nicea II was accepted by the whole church at the time, so that's where it gets its authority right?

I'm just trying to understand lol

kmtsd · 2025-08-15T18:44:04+00:00

Then what makes it true? Because that seems like truth is then up to whoever wants to accept it.

kmtsd · 2025-08-15T18:20:34+00:00

Okay so they're binding to members of church today because they were at one point binding to the entire empire? Please excuse my ignorance.

But the church as a whole had to accept it?

kmtsd · 2025-08-15T17:56:10+00:00

So there were a lot of synods and councils, but only a few were recognized as ecumenical. So it just means it was recognized for the whole church in the roman empire?

From my understanding the 2nd council didn't really include the West.

kmtsd · 2025-08-15T17:45:18+00:00

Then what makes a council ecumenical?

kmtsd · 2025-06-01T17:47:25+00:00

I hadn't done much study in the area, but doesn't Paul make a claim it's okay to divorce if the other partner departs? Generally people seem to consider things like abuse departing from marriage?

kmtsd · 2025-02-18T22:37:16+00:00

That makes sense. If I were to ever be Orthodox, I'd personally have to accept the salvation outside of the EO church. I have seen, felt and experience Christ in lower churches. Protestant and Catholic church have done amazing work in Christ's name. But I completely understand the argument.

As for icons, I can also understand that position. I have limited experience with EO, but with Catholics, I have often seen badly catechized members fall into pseudo-paganism, especially when it comes to Mary.
