Sunday, June 15, 2014. Questions About The Sunday of All Saints. Questions About The Sunday of All Saints. When is the Sunday of All Saints? Where is the service found (which service book)? The Sunday of All Saints is celebrated the Sunday after Pentecost. The service is the last one in the "Pentecostarion", which has all the services from Pascha until the Sunday of All Saints, inclusive. What is a "Saint"? What does the word literally mean?

Tuesday, December 10, 2013. On the Glorification of Nelson Mandela. I am conflicted when I think of Nelson Mandela and the honors now bestowed upon him. On the one hand I see he is worthy of much honor. There is much to be admired in Nelson Mandela. The apartheid system laid on the necks of the native Africans by the British was wrong, unjust and evil. The native Africans were treated as sub-human to be used as objects to increase the riches of the wealthy and the powerful. You see, the fact of the matte...

Friday, October 10, 2014. Why Do I Believe What I Believe About God? Why Do I Believe What I Believe About God? I suspect that many people, if not most, hold their beliefs about God without much thought as to why they believe what they believe or how they came to those particular beliefs. It seems to me that when it comes to beliefs in or about God we have two choices. Such a belief in divine revelation calls us to surrender and submit to what God has revealed. On the other hand, if we derive our beliefs...

Sunday, July 19, 2015. The True Israel of God. THE TRUE ISRAEL OF GOD. When God called Abraham and entered into a covenant with him, the Jewish nation did not exist. Thus, the covenant God gave to Abraham was not based on a worldly nation or a people of a certain ethnic descent or nationality but the promise was to Abraham and his seed – not seeds as in many but seed as in one. 8220;Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. The promise to Abraham was the promise of the coming Messiah. The Promi...

Sunday, December 8, 2013. From Protestant to Orthodox. Protestants and particularly evangelicals take a "minimalist" approach to Salvation. They focus on Salvation as justification: "I can go to heaven rather than hell." Plenty of people recognize that being a Christian is more than just a matter of "fire insurance," but it is easy to be fooled by one's own sales pitch- "Just accept Jesus as your savior". Plenty of people think that is all there is to it. So many people in predominantly Roman Catholic La...

Truths About Orthodoxy: So Was the Early Church Wrong?
http://truthsaboutorthodoxy.blogspot.com/2015/07/so-was-early-church-wrong.html
Friday, July 10, 2015. So Was the Early Church Wrong? So, the question is now raised, was the early church in error because it did not condemn slavery and if so, then maybe they were also in error in the condemnation of divorce, women clergy, homosexuality, etc. This question arises from two contemporary perceptions or assumptions that are taken for granted but are erroneous. The first assumption is that slavery, per se, is wrong or of itself immoral. Slavery was not only a viable business model for land...

Friday, April 25, 2014. WHICH TRADITION DOES YOUR RELIGION FOLLOW? Once I came to see this I then had to ask which tradition and which interpretation is correct? Joseph N. Bragg, Sr. DOES ANYTHING IN RELIGION PERPLEX YOU? Is the Holy Spirit the author of confusion? I would ask myself, how can we have both Calvinists and Arminians, co-exist and not consider the others heretics? Both can’t be true! Was it possible for any group to be right about everything? Who gets to decide right from wrong? Is that what...
