He begame and took half his congregation with him

I'm trying to understand Patripassianism. Is there an easy way to understand historic teaching on this?

@󠀂 󠀂 Wewlad

Half his congregation left w/ him?

That's rare...

Yeag

Half his congregation begame when he begamr

He said the Bishop allowed guitar sermons in the beginning when he was first ordained

lel

Then they did away with it eventually

I mean, I'm fine with a guitar if other instruments aren't available, but finding a guitarist to play he style you need for an EO service is going to be super hard...

Did they move buildings?

In the EO Liturgy, there aren't instruments because the Liturgy is the imitation of the hymns prayed by the cherubins to God. And so the choir is singing to imite them and to participate to the louange.

So guitar, orgue, or another instrument are prohibited @Quarantine_Zone

Organs are the one instrument I'm okay with during mass tbh

A grand piano maybe

Keyboards defo no

I hate keyboards

So much

@Quarantine_Zone I believe so

I'd prefer no instruments.

Duh

Liturgical mass is best mass

I like the instruments. Helps keep order and pitch.

@Constantin le Lamantin didn't know that

@Mozalbete ⳩

>What is the meaning of the forgiveness if a person truly repent his/her sin. Is the Christ crucified for our sins?
>What is meaning of the confession if it exists ? Inb4 Increase/decrease the penance and muh the period for purgatory
>No direct description of Purgatory in the bible

I prefer organs or piano if there has to be an instrument

The human voice is the best instrument

@Βασίλειος Θεοδόσιος what denom are you? Ordo?

You have not tag

Converting from presby to Orthodox.
inb4 some people would call covertodox

He asked me about it when I said about purgatory in the filtpitchat

What do Orthodox say the purpose of confession is?

@Βασίλειος Θεοδόσιος I was born into one of those Korean megachurches

Lol

Confessions is a path towards forgiveness of sins and at the same time, unbounding the bondage of that sin

@Quarantine_Zone

I don't have a proper keyboard and PC screen working to give further detail

There is a hudge difference between Orthodox and Romans absolution formulas. @Quarantine_Zone

_May our Lord Jesus Christ absolve you; and by His authority I absolve you from every bond of excommunication (suspension) and interdict, so far as my power allows and your needs require. [making the Sign of the Cross:] Thereupon, __I absolve you__ from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen._

Roman one
