How do I get out of this limbo? I have found myself undecided about the correct place to worship (denomination Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, reformed theology, end times views, etc.)? [John 4:21-25, Matthew 18:20, Acts 2].
Could you talk about the lack of liturgy of the early church, in contrast to what the Eastern Orthodox Church claims? [1 Corinthians 12-14, 1 Corinthians 11:21].
If Christians were not practicing baptism and communion properly until the Reformation, wouldn't the church have been spiritually dead that entire time? [2 Kings 22-23].
If the Eastern Orthodox Church was responsible for putting together the Bible, why wouldn't we follow their traditions? Rec: F.F.Bruce's book "The Canon of Scripture."
Would you talk about the passage "Keys to the Kingdom" and the "binding and loosing on heaven and earth?" Who is being addressed? What is the application? [Matthew 18:15-18, John 20:21, Matthew 21:28, Ephesians 2:20].
I am thinking of being baptized into the Eastern Orthodox Church ... would you give me your perspective. [Ephesians 2:20, Matthew 23:8, Ephesians 1:23, 1 Peter 2:5 2 Timothy 2:2].
Did you express that just because some are caught up in some mistaken ritual behaviors, like Greek Orthodox and Catholics, it doesn't mean they cannot be sincere and genuinely saved?
Athesist Inquiry: Where do you get off claiming you have the right information about what is Christianity, especially since the Greek Orthodox and Catholic Churches seem to have more authority? why is the Catholic "Apocrypha" not included in the Protestant Bible?
What about the Eastern Orthodox pretty much doing the same thing as the Catholic church, praying to idols, images & dead saints, even though they call it venerating?
Is "Theosis" (Deification) a biblical concept (Eastern Christian Theology-Athanasius I of Alexandria)? [2 Peter 1:4, 2 Corinthians 3:18, 2 Corinthians 4:17-18, John 1:14, John 1:14].
Are there scriptures that substantiate that belief in the trinity is not necessary to follow Jesus and be saved? [Luke 10:20, John 5:24, John 14:9, John 16:3, I John 2:22, Romans 10:9].
The Eastern Orthodox church thinks Theosis, that we can become God, we are part of the divine nature, the nature God imparted to us. What do you think about that?
