I know, Im guessing people want to see the actual speaker and not just hear the audio.

Sola Scriptura= take all valid historical documents, take from them the Bible and threw everything out of window. Then everything you don't find, build it based on imagination. Because there are many imaginations => 30 000 protestant denominations. Sola scriptura many times = Sola Imagination

Anyone and everyone who loves our Orthodox Church, please pray everyday for the unity of the two Churches. God can change anything!

@mandaloreJCL We reject the idea that purgatory is a place of punishment for sin. We believe that those who die either fortaste heaven or fortaste hell, but that doesn't mean if one is fortasting hell they will automatically end up in Hell eternally. Therefore, our prayers for the dead, can help turn one who is fortasting hell to turn around and fortaste heaven. Final destination in heaven or hell won't come until the Final Judgment.

what is the orthodox problem with purgatory? I've been to Greek Orthodox liturgies and they prayed for the dead at the end. What's the point in praying for the dead if purgatory is not an option?

@torvasal1 The Apostles are the begining of the church(Orthodox) and the Penticost is still coming down our Church through the Apostolic Succession, and neither the Gates of Hell, or any Protestantisn/schism is going to remove us!!! IC XC.+.NI KA

May use Sola Herodotus in history. that is to take all historical documents beside herodot, the parent of history, and threw them out of the wiondow?

Then I am writting a paper about how Columbus have discovered america.

Well Columbus come to America with 12000 jet planes . They landed on an amerindian airport and went on motorcycles for 3 hours. Why are you laughing? This is Sola herodotus. Is not in herodotus I let my imagination run. So now you understand Sola scriptura of Protestantism

@theologymattrz That just is not a viable position. The scriptures didn't just fall from the sky. They were written, compiled(selected), and canonized by the Church. Scripture's purpose is the service of the church (not the other way round).

as to the choosing of the books of the bible, he misses one important fact, they were choosen based on there salvasational content.
