comment Why do Christians seek to convert everyone?
I disagree; we are selfish individuals who don't care about the rest of humanity. That's the entire reason the Lord Jesus had to save us in the first place.

comment What service is more 'important' in Orthodox Christianity?
BTW--technically, the reading of the twelve gospels is on Holy Friday, since liturgically Holy Friday begins Thursday evening. Similarly, the Lamentations are a Holy Saturday service Friday evening.

comment Does Jesus contradict Himself in these verses?
@Shredder : Another interpretation of the Lord's words "That is enough." is contextual; right after this, Jesus went out to the Mount of Olives. So one can imagine that Christ was saying "Enough! Let us go now."

comment Where can I find Patristic Commentary on the Golden Calf incident?
Actually, the answer I've selected makes it clear, I think, that the question is easy enough to answer with a mere Google search. So I don't wish to pester Biblical Hermeneutics with such a piddling question. But thank you for the tip! I'll keep this in mind for the future.

Yeah...the CCEL search plainly shows that this OP didn't do his homework... :P. Also, this link is good: tertullian.org/fathers/…

comment Is the phrase, “Heaven is the presence of God, but Hell is the absence of God” an orthodox viewpoint?
It is not the Orthodox (Eastern) teaching that Christ's death was merely the greatest example of God's love. Any cursory encounter with Orthodox hymnography would dispel any such notion. The triumph of Christ on the Cross was a victory over death: "Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life," for instance, is our primary Easter hymn. Our God broke death by the Cross, defeated the devil, embittered hell, and so on. Indeed, you are right in saying that the Cross has accomplished more than a manifestation of God's love.
