@0819Marlene Pilgrim1411 is NOT a Catholic. I suggest you watch some of his videos before making ignorant comments.

JESUS CHRIST was a Jew. HE was the Messiah to the Nation of Israel. He has NO HEADQUARTERS on this Earth. but if HE did, HE would have put it in Jersaulem. Not in Rome. They claim their first "pope" was Peter, but that is a HUGE lie. Peter's Ministry was to the Jew's in Jersusalem who knew Jesus was their Messaih. It was Paul who went to Rome. Also for the first 350 yrs. the Evil Vatican was in existence they ONLY had Bishops and Peter had long since been Martryed.
The first "pope's" name was Boniface. I know you don't listen to anything except what you are brainwashed to believe. but sometime you should go to a library and read The History of the popes.
You are right about ONLY one thing Christ is risen, SO TAKE HIM DOWN OFF THOSE CROSSES YOU CARRY AROUND with you day and night! And pick up a King James Bible and READ it. They've change 'your' catchism lies 4 times already!

Do we forgive our neighbors their trespasses? God also forgives us in His mercy. Do we refuse to forgive? God, too, will refuse to forgive us. As we treat our neighbors, so also does God treat us. The forgiveness, then, of your sins or unforgiveness, and hence also your salvation or destruction, depend on you yourself, man. For without forgiveness of sins there is no salvation. You can see for yourself how terrible it is.

I don't believe monks do that.

Why don't Orthodox monks practice self-flagellation? Does inflicting pain upon yourself help add your sufferings to the suffering of Christ?

HOCNA also denies the toll houses and teaches openly the heresy of "Soul Sleep."

OCPRS, HOCNA is schismatic .Based on my experience, I believe they suffer from the Super-Correctness disease and lack love. Hopefuly he GOC will not recognize them until and unless the HOCNA rectifies it's schismatic problem. HOCNA is not a True Orthodox Church.

johndominic2293, The teaching is that there is no salvation outside true Orthodoxy. However, not all true Orthodox will be saved, and God might have mercy on various heterodox at the Last Judgment. But to remain in heresy is a tremendous gamble. According to what I was told, even those in World Ecumenist "Orthodoxy" will descend into Hades at death, but might be given some mercy at the last judgment. All the tools necessary for salvation are within the true Orthodox Church. Why a person would look elsewhere is beyond me.

Is HOCNA a valid jurisdiction in your view? The GOC has them under their fold, so I'm wondering why you don't have them listed?

Hi, I am wondering if you really believe that all those who have not been validly baptized, along with all those who have rejected a dogma of the Church (and therefore heretics), are all damned? It seems like no one is straight-forward about this question of salvation, especially liberals. Do you say with certainty that all the aborted infants are damned, since they were not baptized? Could they be saved after their death? No one seems to have an honest answer for this question, and seem to let their own emotions or prejudices influence their answer. Thanks.
