Re: What Does This Mean?
Good answer, Ephrem. After the descent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, the Apostolic community, the Church, was guided in the way of all truth in a manner that did not fully exist within the community previously. The proper implications of this scripture must, then, be understood in that historical...

Re: What Does This Mean?
Ephrem, Yet, would we not also say of those heterodox who proclaim Christ as the divine Son of God, and preach the canonical Gospels; [i]"those who are not against you are for you ?" [/i] The Lord said as much about this particular man, who was outside of the Apostolic community. This is o...

Re: Fr. Steven Allen: ROCOR, Met. Agathangel & SiR- PART 2
