Orthodox Church is full of idolatry. Have not you read: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me" Exodus 20!
@LuKe10559 lady with bierd ? it doesnt matter if He looked like that or not, we orthodox dont pray to images, but that image reminds us to pray, it imposes us more respect twords God, like if He was there, and the grace of the holy Spirit is present in it ! we have icons because Jesus was also Human, he was matter, like us, and matter was sanctified by the presence of God in it, and now it is present thanks to grace in icons ! we dont pray to the wood of the icon
That's not true. You do pray to it, carry it and it's your idol! God said don't do it and you do it. Obedience not sacrifice! God hates idols, you cannot sanctify it, but rather shatter it. Making of an idol means hell eternal. The icon is the devil, not Jesus.
Moreover the Bible states:"Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?"1 Cor 11:14. Dude is not Jesus, but some ladylike model, maybe the lover of priest?
Whaddya mean by that? Long hair, idol and false Jesus! Open yer eyes! It hurts cos you
like wood, stone etc, repent to true God! I proved your icons are not of God. I am Christian but I hate false lady jesuses! Why don't you dress it with polka dot dress?
@LuKe10559 The Apostle Paul himself wore his hair long as we can conclude from the following passage where it is mentioned that "head bands," [Webmaster note: he then cites the Slavonic word using a special font. Consult the original article if needed.], and "towels" touched to his body were placed on the sick to heal them. The "head bands" indicate the length of his hair (in accor dance with pious custom) which had to be tied back in order to keep it in place (cf. Acts 19:12).
@LuKe10559 If the pious practice among clergy and laity in the Christian community was to follow the example of the Old Testament, how then are we to understand the words of Saint Paul to the Corinthians cited earlier (I Cor. 11:14)? Saint Paul in the cited passage is addressing men and woman who are praying (cf. I Cor. 11:3-4). His words in the above passages, as well as in other passages concerning head coverings (cf. I Cor. 11: 4-7), are directed to laymen, not clergy.
@LuKe10559 In other passages Saint Paul makes an obvious distinction between the clerical and lay rank (cf. I Cor. 4:1, I Tim. 4:6, Col. 1:7, and others). He did not oppose the Old Testament ordinance in regard to hair and beards since, as we have noted above, he himself observed it, as did Our Lord Himself, Who is depicted on all occasions with long hair and beard as the Great High Priest of the new Christian priest hood.
@LuKe10559 In our passage noted previously, Both not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? (I Cor. 11:14) Saint Paul uses the Greek word for "hair." This particular word for hair designates hair as an a ornament (the notion of length being only secondary and suggested), differing from Gr. thrix - the anatomical or physical term for hair.
@LuKe10559 SaintPaul's selection of words emphasizes his criticism of laymen wearing their hair in a stylized fashion,which was contrary to pious Jewish and Christian loveof modesty.We note the same approach to hair as that of SaintPaul in the96th canon of the Sixth Ecumenical Council where itstates"Those therefore who adorn and arrange their hair tothe detri ment of those who see them,that is by cunningly devised intertwinings,and by this means put a bait in the way of unstable souls
@LuKe10559 there you have it, stop insulting my religion and others religion this is not the way God wants you to do mission, this is how Saul understood to do mission
@LuKe10559 And ye shall not shave your head for the dead [a pagan practice] with a baldness on the top; and they shall not shave their beard... (Lev. 21:5), and to all men in general, Ye shall not make a round cutting of the hair of your head, nor disfigure your beard (Lev. 19:27).
@LuKe10559 The significance of these commandments is to illustrate that the clergy are to devote themselves completely to serving the Lord.Laymen as well are called to a similar service though without the priestly functions.This out ward appearance as a commandment was repeated in the law given to the Nazarene,a razor shall not come upon his head,until the days be fulfilled which he vowed to the Lord:
Hello ! In light of my previous words of praise of your postings, let me say that I am also an Atheist ( Sort of). In my life I have literally searched the world in search of God, yet have always come full circle to the "inner light" as the source of our salvation and inspiration. I am now quite ill and alone, and in constant pain. My life is in immediate jeopardy. Through all this, your music has inspired me and eased my suffering. Please accept my thanks as a small gift to you in return.
@1manuscriptman if you believe at least in people, than it is still ok, you need to find the person to guide your life, and as far as i know if you believe at least in Jesus , not as God, but at least as a man, and follow some of his teachings, than this is also great ! but i am sure that you are a moral person, some atheists are more moral than christians
Ur search means u r lkg for eternal Truth. Truth + Love cannot be separated. God is Love + more. He possesses these as His attributes yet is eternal. U r not far away, my friend. Within u lies ur answers. Jesus points 2 the Father who is Salvation. It isn't what we believe it is what we "are". Are we Truth? Are we Love? Are we kind? Selfless? Therein lies salvation. Do u possess love? That is how we find God. If yes, then ask God 2 reside within. Much love 2 u!
I am an atheist. I just want to say this music is truly wonderful to listen to, and I am not sure it could have evolved without you religious people. so Thank you!
Also the image is very captivating, is it a painting of a young Jesus perhaps?
@bigtopofun thank you, that is one of the most beautiful comments i recieved. I know that we are all people, no matter the religion, and if my God exists, than he suerly made me to love others, and to have a decent life! Thank you for existing
@TheMistAnchorite Most atheists i talked to are very ignorant and stupid....but you have a lot of culture from what i see .You are more like an agnost ..Atheists don't exist..an atheist is a person that believes in nothing ...and you can't believe in nothing,because that means you live for nothing
@bigtopofun Yes Jesus was young when He died for you.He was only33so He did not get old in human form.He is outside of time. He took the consequences of all your wrong actions upon Himself. He offers you His holiness in exchange for your sin. Speak now to Him. Jesus, I accept Your offer of entry into the kingdom of Heaven today and in eternity. If You really can give me the fulfilled Life U created me for, then come now into my heart & make me the fulfilled person I hope to be.Amen
@sifis172 Speak right now to Him.( If we do not invite Him He will not come into our lives because He gives us freedom to live with or without Him): "Jesus, I accept Your offer of entry into the kingdom of Heaven today and in eternity.
