Our parish priest constantly talks about the evils associated with contraception. And like the rest of the Orthodox, our divorce rate is the lowest of any group in Divorce Land USA.

Actually, funny statistic, atheists actually have the lowest divorce rate. Go figure?

According to the SUNY study, the Orthodox did.

And most atheists I know never marry, just shack up. You have to get married before you can get divorced.😦

You know what they say about too many chiefs.

Fortunately the chiefs of Reformed Christianity are too busy arguing supralapsarianism, Federal Vision, and whether Reformed Baptists are really Reformed to give us Lutheran Indians any need to take over Geneva any time soon.

We only have one chief … Jesus of course. I sometimes wonder if God is laughing at our quibbling? I know I sure am …

I think what he means is that there are many Protestant claimants to the “true” Church–in effect, little Popes who want their own definition of what their denomination believes in.

If you become Orthodox it’s because you want to divorce or use contraception or my favorite, you “hate” Catholicism.

I think from now on every time I hear of an Orthodox converting to Catholicism I’ll quip, “they probably just didn’t have the willpower to keep up with the fasting regimen.” :rolleyes:

Yours in Christ

Either that or they just never acquired the intellectual acumen necessary for a taste for dolmathes.

I don’t think she’ll find much difference since she’s Melkite, Eastern Catholic, and theologically Eastern Catholics are very much Orthodox than Latin.
 
is there a website for the orthodox churches? where you can learn more about them? what do they think of peter and why do they not accept him? who was peter to the orthodox?

There’s a few protestant churches like that, but that hardly represents normal – reformed protestantism. It’s the back woods preacher types trying to tell his flock why God wants him to have their underage daughters. Believe me, you’re better off without those types (we’ve been trying to hock them off for years, maybe Islam will take them).

Honestly whenever I hear someone lay claim to being the “one true church” I cringe.
 
How come Eastern people like beards so much? I want to go to Greece, Asia Minor & the mid east and open a Gillette store.

Why don’t we accept Peter? That’s a silly question. Why don’t you “accept” the other 11 Apostles?

Yours in Christ

Would you WANT Geneva? I honestly didn’t think much of it while there. Reminds me of the antiseptic feel of a hospital.😊
