As we noticed that some of these also slander monastic communities in the USA, the wrath of God will come upon them...Maybe kosta does not know the EOC God

Yawn, in all these instances, the expression "the wrath of God" is a figure of speech. It bears no resemblance to the western juridical view. If you bother to study Orthodox theology rather then superficial sloganisms, you will find out that the Orthodox concept of God is that He is unchanging, that He is not loving one minute and angry another.

"God loves not only those who dwell in Paradise, but also those who are in Hell; in Hell, however, the Divine love constitutes a cause of suffering for the wicked. This is not due to God's love but to their own wickedness, which resents this love and experiences it as a torment" ["I Believe: A Short Exposition of Orthodox Doctrine," Orthodoxinfo.com]

St. John of Damascus (8th c.) writes:

Many of the things relating to God, therefore, that are dimly understood cannot be put into fitting terms, but on things above us we cannot do else than express ourselves according to our limited capacity; as, for instance, when we speak of God we use the terms sleep, and wrath, and regardlessness, hands, too, and feet, land such like expressions. [An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith, Book I, Chapter II, "Concerning things utterable and things unutterable, and things knowable and thinks unknowable"]

Nowhere in the entire collection of four lengthy books does St. John of Damascus, the last of the desert fathers, speak of God's wrath the way Protestants do. If some modern-day Orthodox bishops use such terms as "original sin" and "God's wrath" it's because of the influence of the west and because, as you may know, many an American Orthodox is a former Protestant convert and they bring a lot of their Protestant baggage with them (inadvertently, of course).

St. John of Damascus's work deals with the entire Orthodox theology, and the wrath of God is not in it. This doesn't mean we don't suffer for our unrepentant sins, we do, but it's not due to the vindictiveness of God.

Nice of youto take your time to check what i write. It gives me a chance to explain things in greater detail, since you seem to care so much (sarcasm).

But have to disagree with you (again, surprise): I think I know my Orthodox God better than you think. I am actually quite amused with your arrogance to tell me that I don't. It's really pathetic.
