Eastern Orthodox Christian Forum. This is not an apologetics forum. It is a place for Orthodox Christians to discuss their faith and communicate with each other. We want to get to know new people and talk about our faith in a friendly environment.
Christian love demands that every one avoid that which can offend or vex his neighbour, in so far, however, as it does not injure the faith, of course you are to understand. Since the Gospel has been preached frequently in these years, many have...

I think it’s impossible to please other people, and that shouldn’t be our goal. If God wants to raise me up as a city on a hill, then glory to Him. If not, I’ll just be here repenting of my sins.
Every deed of Christ is a cause of glorying to the Catholic Church, but her greatest of all glorying is in the Cross; and knowing this, Paul says, But God forbid that I should glory, save in the Cross of Christ (Galatians 6:14). For wondrous indeed...

I present The Truth: The Mathematical Proof of The One True God: The Holy Trinity.
Within this text is The Proof, beyond an ounce of doubt, by way of the language of the Universe: Mathematics, that The Triune God is The One True God and The Holy...
I thought that getting drunk was not only a sin but a fairly serious sin. Even so, there are a number of Orthodox on YouTube who sometimes get drunk and it doesn't seem to worry them.
Am I perhaps wrong that getting drunk is a serious sin? Is the...

So, what do you do if you are concerned that a Priest is drinking and sharing it on social media? Say, the Chancellor of Diocese of the South OCA were to post his vacation escapades with pictures of alcoholic drinks in many posts, even during Lent....
Besides the blessed Theotokos, do you have a favorite Orthodox saint? Or a patron saint for which you have a particular devotion? :Search:

Not much going on in here. I have learned that I should return to doing what was first done and realize how the Orthodox body has fallen. It has fallen into complacency. Since we lay claim to being grafted into the original olive root and tree...
Russian Historian Andrei Zubov on the new church of the Armed Forces, celebrating and iconising the leaders of Communism and its modern political and religious offspring:
“I looked at mosaics from the church of the Armed Forces of Russia - Putin,...

Hello. This seems interesting. Are you able to provide some evidence of the icons of communist leaders being in this church?
That Christianity rightly recognises God's Creation in all of its Diversity, without Discrimination, is the most excellent sign of Visibility. As the Gentiles were received, even though they were so strongly discriminated before, so ought all human...
All the paths of adulthood are open equally to every individual, and in each the Orthodox Church affirms the full equality and dignity of each human person created in the image and likeness of God. While the Church acknowledges that men and women...
My name is Daria Sinitsyna, I am an orthodox volunteer. I am looking for philantropists/ donors/sponsors, who can provide charitable non-refundable financial assistance for my church (the Holy Theotokos Kazan Icon Church in Kryvyi Rih, in Ukraine....
At this time (of Emperor Theodosius I), it was deemed requisite to abolish the office of those Presbyters in the churches who had charge of the Penitences: this was done on the following account. When the Novatians separated themselves from the...
In that dispute about the observance or non-observance of the Law, Peter was the first of all to be endued with the Spirit, and, after making preface touching the calling of the nations, to say, And now why are you tempting The Lord, concerning the...
More daylight, high Bulgaria-email-lists temperatures, hotter oceans, more modest towns, moderate costs and individual sea shores are making the southern Black Sea coast increasingly more appealing to property purchasers and financial specialists....
The fundamental qualities of this territory are Bulgaria email list modest communities and the sea shores. There are various individual little sea shores isolated by rough promontories justting into the ocean. This makes profound sounds with truly...
We in the West have something to learn from Fr. Dimitry’s attitude towards the non-Orthodox. Among Western converts to Orthodoxy (to speak of something close to home) there is indeed a temptation to speak too freely of “heresy” and “heretics,” and...
If the Platonists, or those who think with them, knowing God, glorified Him as God and gave thanks, if they did not become vain in their own thoughts, if they did not originate or yield to the popular errors, they would certainly acknowledge that...
He made the world free by the blood of The Saviour; then, again, He has caused the grave to be trodden down by The Saviour's death, and furnished a way to the Heavenly Gates free from obstacles to those who are going up. Wherefore, one of the...
Freedom is one of God’s greatest gifts to the human being. He who created man in the beginning made him free and self-determined, limiting him solely by the laws of the commandment (Gregory the Theologian, Homily 14, On...
It was not by means of visions alone which were seen, and words which were proclaimed, but also in actual works, that The Word Of God was beheld by the Prophets, in order that through them He might prefigure and show forth future events beforehand....
But that is not a sacrifice which is extorted from a person against his will. For unless it is offered spontaneously, and from the soul, it is a curse; when men sacrifice, compelled by proscription, by injuries, by prison, by tortures. If they are...
Erdogan officially calls to Jihad with the following message:

1. Christ is to be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2; fulfilled in Matt. 2:1-7; John 7:42; Luke 2:47).
2. Christ is to be preceded by a Messenger (Isaiah 40:3; Malachi 3:1; fulfilled in Matthew 3:1-3; 11:10; John 1:23; Luke 1:17).
3. Christ is to enter...
But with us there is no desire of vainglory, nor do we indulge in a variety of opinions. For having renounced the popular and earthly, and obeying the Commands of God, and following the law of The Father of Immortality, we reject everything which...
