The EOC
Have you ever considered attending?Well I like the Eastern Orthodox Church. I always have. I think they preserve a lot of good early church tradition, and unlike the CC have not contaminated it with as much false doctrine that went too far.
I'm just not a compete adherent to the EOC's doctrine's, being non-denominational now for decades, so I would view their positions more as an outsider than you would. But I do view them quite highly as denominations go.
Have you ever considered attending?
Correct. Gnosticism also taught an intense hatred for the God of the Old Testament, and Paul taught that Christ Jesus WAS the God of the Old Testament.
Please elaborate.Body vs mind is a false dichotomy,
What is ?it's the "matter bad, spirit good" gnosticism heresy.
Men shall not live by bread ALONE, not that men shall live by the word of God and no bread. Jesus is god but also man, he has his physiological needs as you and I.Please elaborate.
Why not experiencing Him in Liturgy?No, Lana. I've become so accustomed to serving the Lord in my daily routine that services are almost an afterthought at this point. I'm sure I would likely enjoy a visit sometime, however, so if the opportunity should come up that someone local invites me, I'll certainly keep it under consideration.
How are you doing on your fast, any better?
I don't see what that has to do with either fasting, or body vs mind.Men shall not live by bread ALONE, not that men shall live by the word of God and no bread. Jesus is God but also man, he has his physiological needs as you and I.
So you're not a 'participating in the heavenly worship that's been ongoing since the dawn of creation' kind of guy? Not a 'standing with the saints and angels in awe of God's majesty' kind of guy?' Liturgy isn't just ritual—it's the closest thing to heaven on earth.Not a Liturgy guy.
