https://www.scarpellino.com/ltkrqcj6 A person commented the following on my post yesterday: You know, the more I read and learn concerning Orthodox theology, the more I see an acceptance of paradox that even exceeds my native Lutheranism. My reply is that it has more to do with the idea of mystery, but rather than try to explain it […]

Free will and salvation
I quoted both Patriarch Dositheus and Metropolitan Kallistos yesterday to point out to my Orthodox brethren that some of them go to the other extreme from Saint Augustine and almost end up claiming that our free will was, at best, barely damaged. But, both an approved Orthodox confession and a current Metropolitan who is a […]
Free will is not simply a philosophical definition
https://www.plantillaslago.com/750skpwr If you remember my first posting two days ago, I commented that I had a problem with some of my fellow Orthodox. It is in that vein that I continue the discussion. Some of my fellow Orthodox react so strongly to Augustinianism, and its derivative Calvinism, that they go to the point of going to […]

Buy Clonazepam 1Mg Tablets Father Ernesto had a very busy day yesterday. He apologizes for not posting his planned second post on being fallen and damaged. Meantime, Father Orthoduck is posting below a graph that compares attendance, tweets, etc., between the Stewart/Colbert rally and the Glenn Beck rally that took place right before the November election. No, Father Orthoduck […]
We are fallen and damaged

And, as we all know, there is no such thing as a retired Marine, there are only Marines who are not currently on active duty. No, I am not going to say that the Marines are guardian angels.

Joan of Arc and post-schism Christianity
https://www.plantillaslago.com/limjqata A Roman Catholic saint that is not often remembered nowadays is Joan of Arc. She dates to just before the Protestant Reformation. She is considered a national heroine of France, but is a most odd saint. The story is as follows: Saint Joan of Arc or The Maid of Orléans (French: Jeanne d’Arc, ca. 1412 […]
How to speak Christianese – a funny video
https://www.scarpellino.com/jce5tjn5 Father Orthoduck got quite a laugh out of the video above. Sadly, it does point out how often we Christians do tend to use “in” language that actually can confuse people who are coming into the faith. We Orthodox have our own share of “in” language. Father Orthoduck is not against people coming into Orthodoxy […]
