Comment on Jewish concept of Messiah (Christ) is identical to our Christian concept of Anti-Messiah (Anti-Christ), brief comparison of Orthodox Judaism and Orthodox Christianity by admin.
Cross has been a symbol used, from ancient times before Christ our Lord has been manifested on earth in the flesh. That’s pretty normal it’s first use as a symbol of salvation according to Church tradition was by the Jews, when they were leaving egypt. When the Angel of Death went through the whole city and killed all the firstborn of the Egyptians, God had instructed the jews to take a lamb, eat it without breaking it’s bones, where nothing should be left until the morning as well as to put a sign with the blood of the lamb to each of the Doorways where a jews were living. The exact shape of the blood sign that was put on the doors of the jews was a cross shaped. This is one of the many ancient prophecies for Christ who will be hang on a tree.
The Crucifixion on a tree is even also in accordance to the Old Torah’s law which says:
“If a man has committed a sin deserving of death, and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree, his body shall not remain overnight on the tree, but you shall surely bury him that day, so that you do not defile the land which the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance; for he who is hanged is accursed of God.†(Deuteronomy 21:22-23)
That is why it is written in the New Testament by st. Apostle Paul
Apostle Paul stated,
“Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree’).†(Galatians 3:13)
where he quotes the old Torah scriptures here.
Note that the cross as a sign symbol comes from the Tree which had a form similar to the Cross. That is why we as Christians adopted the life-giving Cross as a symbol which refers to Christ who was crucified for our sins and redeemed us from the Curse of the old Testamential (Old Torah) laws by being a sinless sacrifice, taking on himself all of our infirmity and curses caused by us breaking the established God’s law.

Hi we believe different in Orthodox Church, we believe Jesus Christ is God’s son and not Jahovah himself but one in hipostasis with God the Father The Son and The Holy Spirit. We don’t believe what you say, because we believe Jesus was not only God in the Flesh but man too so Godman in the flesh who came to save us through his sacrifice on the Golgotha Cross.
The Church crimes were done by Roman Catholics (during ages of Inquisition) after the Great Chuch Schism (the time when Roman Cathoics decided to change some parts of the ancient faith).
I see you continue to stuck to your dilusions about connection between some imaginary Sun God and the true king of earthly and heavenly king of Israel and our saviour Jesus Christ.
You’re correct that many Christians try to only talk about the positiveness of Christianity. I’m not one of these Christians. Christianity is not a bed of roses it’s a hard fight until the physical death. Christ did not promised us a good life and good monetary status here on earth but on the contrary he promised that we will be under persecution for our faith.
If you really want to have a debate you will have to first understand the Orthodox Church history. Talking about Christianity you mix up the Orthodox Christian faith with other Christian faiths, many of which hold up to a heretical ideas. You should clear this up if you want us to have a decent debate.

St. Paul explains here he did not used tricks to convince them of the truth but he used his life example and prayer to God to have mercy on them. He also shows humility by mocking himself. Be careful with the interpretation just quoting some bible text without the context does not reveal it’s true meaning.

What is rather fun is during the anti-protest organized by Metropolitan Nikolay (with people only from the Plovdiv eparchy just like in the good old times of communism was financed by the unwilling people to go to the event). It was lied that the reason for Nikolay people to protest is because this is a protest in front of the Synod against the accepting of gay marriages (what a lie !!!). Besides that there is a many people from village called Krepost (if not mistaken the village) who were (protestants!) and came to protest in favour of the new anti people legislation (even though not orthodox christians), because they were mislead the protests are against the gays!
Metropolitan Nikolay has publicly asked priests in his eparchy to sign a document they're going to be present on the protests that should support the New Synodal "order". Those who were unwilling to cooperate of course can always be sent by their Metropolitan to a very distant village or even taken away their profession as priests so there was a lot of pressure put on those people.

Hi Stan,
I guess you cannot read the writtings on the icon as it is in cyrillic.
This is not Saint Mary and Saint Peter but Adam and Eve written in cyrillic on top of the icon.
Actually in orthodoxy it is a requirement for the depicted personalities, especially saints to have
written on the names of the saint and have the Halo. If you look closely at the picture you will notice
the two Adam and Eve are missing a Halo. The only person with a Halo in the icon is Saint John the Baptist.
