He sounds like a great priest, tbh.

These are the types of priests that we often need, ones that tell the truth and sometimes even push us in the right direction.

>We receive grace based on our own acts of righteousness

Do I seriously have to been a meme Calvinist at this point and yell "ROMANS NIIIIIIIIIIIIINE"?

This guy is putting the cart before the horse.You don't do all these things to receive God's grace, you receive God's grace and then you want to do them!

Also:

>You must go to church on Sunday if you don't you dishonour Christ!

Colossians 2:16

This guy is literally a Pharisee in 2017

>"umm guys, listen I thin-"

No.

God's grace is inspiring those people to be there and as the priest says to listen and understand and consequently do these things. When we do these things we grow in love of God and our communion grows stronger and His grace is showered upon us even more. Goodness, youre such a heretic and so asinine. It is all grace, you fool, except unlike you we are not prideful and we speak in plain terms and dont create stupid intellectual barriers but simply intuitively understand the faith.

if it’s a problem for you, then yeah

but in general less time is better. find better hobbies (irl bros, bible, church, just being outside)

Thanks for the nice video.

I wonder, do most Eastern Orthodox Christians have a particular devotion to St. Michael or is this a region-specific thing?

Also, why are there more people at church on Saturday than Sunday?

>>548793

Just a guess but the parish might be named after St Michael the Archangel, which if that is the case it is normal to have a devotion to whomever your parish is named after

>>548793

weekday services are usually shorter than sundays

Do Orthodox not have an obligation similar to Catholics to (at least) attend mass on Sundays?

I am realizing that I am largely ignorant when it comes to Eastern Orthodoxy.

I just wanted to share some testimony - I need a prescription to keep an inflammatory condition under control. And the mail order pharmacy I use just really messed it up. Normally, when this happens, I fly off the handle - my life is important! But you know, God's been doing things, and I realize my life isn't that important - the person on the other end of the line is important. I called them up, and remained calm the whole way. They took a complaint and were even sympathetic. I never could have done this without the teachings of Christ.

My church's patron saint is St. Michael

>Read your Bible

Thanks for affirming that sola scriptura is all I need.
