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.

Faith in the Resurrection of Christ and in our own co-resurrection does not deny the painful presence of death, pain and the cross in the life of the world. We do not suppress the harsh reality or secure for ourselves, through faith, a psychological...

Brethren, we cannot hold our peace on the Sufferings of Christ; we must speak of them; for both the time and place constrain us to do so. For, since He Died for us, shall we not tell of His Passion? Yea, rather, we will dwell on it, and proclaim it...

I have often observed, Donatus, that many persons hold this opinion, which some philosophers also have maintained, that God is not subject to anger; since the divine nature is either altogether beneficent, and that it is inconsistent with His...

Our fathers did eat manna in the wilderness.
Nothing more senseless, nothing more unreasonable, than these men! While the miracle was yet in their hands, as though none had been done, they spoke after this manner, What sign dost thou show? and...

What need is there, in speaking to you who have searched into every department of knowledge, to mention the poets, or to examine opinions of another kind? Let it suffice to say thus much. If the poets and philosophers did not acknowledge that there...

I may say that those who conceived this causeless hatred for us seemed to be acting very much on the principle of Aesop's fable. For just as he makes his wolf bring some charges against the lamb (feeling ashamed, I suppose, of seeming to destroy,...

But if human wisdom, as it remains to understand, is the glorying in Gnosis, hear the law of Scripture: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, and let not the mighty man glory in his might; but let him that glorieth glory in The Lord. (Jeremiah...

These are the Great Works of The Lord, well-considered in all His Acts of Will (Ps. 110/111:2)--and so wisely well-considered that when His angelic and human creation sinned (that is, did not do what He Willed, but what it willed) He could still...

The Earthquake came, and it did away with the unevenness of life. Where, now, are those who wear silken robes? Where is the gold? All of those things have gone away, and they were torn asunder more easily than a spider’s web, and they disappeared...

I think we are - after some centuries in which the worlds culture in many areas was heavily influenced by the teachings of Christianity - returning to a time when the large majority of the world’s cultures are pagan. I have never been to Greece so I...
