Thank you Theo. I was baptized Eastern Orthodox, and have been an active member of the Church for many years, and have read much about the topic, so I am familiar with the liturgy and theology of the Church.
While I think nothing but the best of the Church in spirit, I also find a divergence between the image, teaching and the canon painted by the Church and the one presented by historical evidence. This may place y posts in better context.
The EOC remains mostly unchanged liturgically since the 4th century (minor changes notwithstanding the Divine Liturgy is the same as it was 1600 years ago).
Eastern Orthodox is of course corruption of original Christianity. Original Christianity was Judaism, not Eastern Orthodoxy or Roman Catholicism.
I don't understand what "caution" are you implying.
Well, for a moment it seemed to me that you were "going Gnostic." I caution you against it, as I would caution anyone else.
Have you read the books by N.T. Wright?
