How important is the correct translation of the Gospel in spreading the true word of God?
We find it all in 1 Corinthians Chapter 14 (KJV). The letter of St Paul to the Corinthians is fully dedicated to making the point of how important the word of God is to be properly translated into other languages, not from a linguistic point of view but also from the point of view of
“Peace be onto you!”
John 20:19-23 (KJV): “Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then
For the Love of Truth
MATTHEW 24:12 “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved” The love of many shall grow cold … much has been written about this passage, but what is its deeper meaning? What kind of love is the Evangelist
ROCOR in Desperate Search of an Identity
(an article by Fr Andrew Phillips of orthodoxengland.org.uk) Orthodox Australia Editor Note: I pray that now, seeing what they are being asked to support in Russia, some may find it wise to “reconsider” this unholy union into which ROCOR were hijacked. I am surprised this was published on Orthodox England website. A few years ago
Orthodox Prophecy vs. Orthodox Common Sense (Orthodox Worldview)
I touched on this subject before, but i feel like i have to reiterate it. The purpose of a Christian life is to acquire that “Orthodox Common Sense” (the presence of the Holy Spirit) in our lives. Thus this needs to be our main focus. If we start to over-rely on fulfillment of certain prophecies
LUKE CHAPTER 16 1-15
(please note comments after certain verses) Is there a parable in the Gospel that applies better to the current situation in the world, when today, the learned of the law (the pharisees of old) have courted with the rich and the powerful of the world, and when caught choose to dig in their heels even
The Samaritan woman and the “Church Organization”
The struggle against the idea of “Church as an Organization” is today just as difficult (if not even more difficult) as it was then. In 2000 years of Christianity nothing has changed, the True Church, The Catacomb Church is still very much denied today as it was back then. In the Gospel of the Samaritan
In Memory of our Blessed Metropolitan Paul Saliba
This photograph is his Eminence Metropolitan Paul (Saliba). He passed away to the Lord about three days ago. Aged about 78.

Consequently attacking its Australian outreach as well. Who the heck are you mr Curley. Or is it the Jewish Larry or Moe of the three stooges fame? Did you know any of these people from Platina you so brazenly judge. Did you live, walk, talk, work or pray with any of the Platina Fathers? Or

Christ is risen!
When they condemned You based on false accusations I was there, testifying against Thee. They paid me to do it and I accepted. Then i rushed outside joining the crowd, screaming “crucify Him”! When i saw You crushed under the heavy Cross i did not want to help, instead i held a whip in my
Christ is born !
The Magi searched and found Christ. Today, each one of us, Orthodox Christians, are still striving to find Christ, inside the cave of our hearts, away from the eyes of the preying world, just like Christ was born away from the eyes of the apostate world of that time, as shown by His birth in
