For the record, I believe kosta50 and Kolokotronis are both Orthodox.

I believe so, too. On many occasions in the past, I have been deeply moved by kosta50's and Kolokotronis' writings in regard to the splendors of the Orthodox confession of faith. There's never been anything in those testimonies that I, as a Catholic, would object to or argue with.

My problem is I just can't stand Christians arguing with one other! I don't see any reason for it at all. God is in charge, and His Judgment is superior to our own mortal, finite judgments about who or what is "faithful" to His Truth. He knows who His Sheep are, far better than any of us do. I just leave it at that, fully trusting in Him....

Anyhoot, it seems to me that sowing discord and division in the Body of Christ is not what we, as Christians (though of different confessions), are called to do. Or so it seems to me, FWIW.

It's worse than arguing with Evos, or materialists, or atheists!

Thank you so much for your kind words of support, my dearest sister in Christ!

Indeed. Sowing discord among the brethren is an abomination to God.

These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. – Proverbs 6:16-19

Maranatha, Jesus!!!

OF COURSE, Dear Sister in Christ.

They are merely arguing opinions . . . LOL . . . about . . . mostly nothing of nothing import based on nothing beyond chance plus time . . .

RELIGIONISTS . . . and hopefully particularly Christians

are going on and on

about LIFE—PARTICULARLY ETERNAL LIFE—ISSUES OF OUR VERY SOULS, IDENTITIES, ESSENCES.
