      @OrthodoxChristianArticles I am actually currently protestant but have been studying to find truth for years now. I started early with learning Catholism, and dove deep into Thomistic study, read his Summa Theologica and felt pretty good about it but could t reconcile everything. Then I went back to Ignatius and from him into the desert fathers then Way of the Pilgrim and then Philokalia. I can say the Eastern Orthodox theology definitely resonates with me, So slowly I have been listening to the debates and dialogue between East, West and Anglican. These channels help alot, I am subscribed to several Orthodox channels as well as this one, such as Patristic Nectar, Orthodox Roots and such, and they have blessed me more than anything. Some very popular Orthodox creators on youtube, get a little. . . .unChrist-like with their attitudes and way they talk about others, so I steer clear of those. But this one is straight information, so thank you. Keep up the good work!

    It's disturbing how grim something so simple, ubiquitous and innocuous-seeming becomes when you look at it a little more deeply. Disturbing, too, that my government is doing its best to make cash illegal, and it is already fully illegal for employers not to contribute to employee's superannuation - meaning it is completely illegal to hire anyone who does not engage in usury (in full- and part-time roles. Casual employees do not have this "benefit")

    I’m an evangelical and I see modern music as a tool to be used to control feelings and put them in a right place. Passion is hard to manifest in my own power so why not use the things God has given to us. We have to be careful to sing praise from a right heart posture of course, not just bc it’s fun and feels good but also because God deserves it and keeping that at the forefront. I think God enjoys seeing us have fun in our praise though. Both have their pitfalls ofc and both are aimed at praising God. Let’s be sure to not forget that and create peace rather than division.😄🙌🏻

      @@joshbowman7114 God is very clear about how to worship Him, and worship involves the Eucharist. Also, division is very important when it comes to truth! Peace should be disrupted for the sake of truth. Even Christ said, “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth, I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.” Matthew 10:34 which is the inverse of what you’ve said. God defines how we worship, not man as recent iterations of modern Protestantism have designed.

    When we worship God we do it how He wants it done not what we think or like. We must seek his way in the n.t. not o.t. Psalm 150 is in the o.t. We cannot use that as proof of God allowing musical instruments. But if you want to do that read Amos 5:23 when God said to takeaway the instruments from their worship. However in the n.t. we find that no musical instruments where ever used to worship God. Acts 17:24-25 clrarly teaches this. Now dont use Revelation 5:8 and 14:2 to try to prove that you can since first it comtradicts Acts 17:24-25 and second those 2 verses im Revelation are symbolic, just as our prayers are like incense that gos up to God symbolically. In 14:2 we read the work like three times which is figurative language. God bless

    This has been a topic of fascination for sometime as a westerner. The Theotokos is essentially the most joyful person in human history, but also because she has the most [godly] sorrow. There's also the tradition of St. Lazarus after he was resurrected from hades. It was said that he never smiled or laughed afterwards. Except once when he had witnessed a thief stealing a piece of pottery. He laughed and remarked "one earth steals another."

    The argumentation here is so very sound! While I didn't double check any specific claims the methods used here are great. Key points that stood out to me: Odd man out, does not matter it is the correct way. Why not? Turn it around why do you? Not biblical. (not used at Passover meal or synagogue services) Not used in the early church. It was pagan and the church was keen to exclude pagan practice. Could lead to unseemly excess. Continuity with apostolic Jewish heritage and differentiation from paganism. What makes one imagine they can change the practice of the apostles and the church for hundreds of years. We would all do well to set our bias and pride aside and take an honest look at biblical, apostolic and early church support for all that we do in our Christian life. Keep it going.

      The conversation is more directed toward believers than unbelievers. The concern is praise would not be authentically from the heart of the person if artificially manifested. Orthodox Church also believes in a strong hold to tradition and doing what the early church did 2000 years ago. I agree with you however, why not manipulate emotions for a good cause.
