The person to whom jb6 was replying had made the gratuitous remark that "God is not Orthodox", knowing that jb6 is Orthodox. The implication was also left that Orthodox Christians like jb6 would approve of raids on non-Orthodox churches just because they weren't Orthodox.

Sound's pretty black and self-righteous to me, unless one has evidence that jb6 actually feels that way. I personally would have been inclined to ignore the remark, but the "God is not Orthodox" certainly was offensive, even though it is a true statement -- since God is not a member of our or any other church -- God is who we Orthodox worship.

As a fellow Orthodox, I agree. It came across as self-righteous and offensive to me as well.

And I also agree that the Orthodox (us) do not believe that God is Orthodox...but we ARE 100% correct in the claim of being the oldest and 1st true church and that in itself brings much responsibility as well as a unique position in the world of church demominations.

Anyway - I'm not here to argue.

I wish a joyous Feast of Christs' entrance into Jerusalem - Palm Sunday - to all my fellow Orthodox FReepers! Spraznikom!!

Blessed Holy Week to all my Orthodox friends!

As an Evangelical Orthodox Lutheran who attends a Serbian Orthodox church once a month, I will be joining you all for Pascha next Sunday.

The Orthodox-bashers on this forum know neither what they are doing nor what they are missing!
