http://ourorthodoxlife.blogspot.com/2010/12/incarnation-as-exaltation.html
Our Journey to Orthodoxy. Thursday, December 23, 2010. The Incarnation as Exaltation. In many of our 4-hour, after church lunches, Andrew Harrah introduced us to Michael as literally the most intelligent person he knew. I wish to give the same introduction, the following article is from the legendary Michael Garten, quite literally, the most intelligent person I have ever known. And a good friend too. The Incarnation as Exaltation by Michael Garten. In the Church we sing this hymn of praise:. What we are...

Our Orthodox Life: The God Bomb by Doug TenNapel
http://ourorthodoxlife.blogspot.com/2010/12/god-bomb.html
Our Journey to Orthodoxy. Wednesday, December 22, 2010. The God Bomb by Doug TenNapel. Doug TenNapel is my favorite comic book storyteller. I was introduced to his work a few years ago with "Earthboy Jacobus" and immediately became a fan. In my opinion, Earthboy is the best graphic novel of the last decade. This is evidenced by the fact that I have owned two copies and currently possess none. Friends don't give Earthboy back! Originally posted at TenNapel's Weblog. My two favorite moments in cinema are f...

Our Orthodox Life: Acts 29 - Eucharist (Part 3) - A Sacrifice?
http://ourorthodoxlife.blogspot.com/2010/12/acts-29-eucharist-part-3-sacrifice.html
Our Journey to Orthodoxy. Monday, December 13, 2010. Acts 29 - Eucharist (Part 3) - A Sacrifice? Though the early church did not sacrifice bulls and goats, they did continue in a transformed todah sacrifice which is called the Eucharist, a sacrifice of Thanksgiving. But isn't the idea of a sacrifice, thanksgiving or not, at odds with the Scriptures, specifically Hebrews chapters 7 through 10:. Hebrews also tells us that Christ is a high priest after the manner of Melchizedek. Sacra means sacred or holy&#...
