“You see, if the questions are there and the Church claims it knows the answers but won’t explain them, what are we to think?”
We are to think that the questions are of no consequence among the Orthodox.
What do you mean they have no consequence? I mean, there is a vast universe out there, Kolo, and frankly everything we talk about on this forum is somewhat unreal. Yet, we prefer to believe that which seems unreal, and ignore that which we know is real.
The Church ought to provide answers if for no other reason than because if you love others as you love yourself, and in order not to turn away a brother seeking truth. But, unfortunately, that's not the case. The Bible is not what is selected for divine liturgies. But that's what 99% of the faithful get; the rest is ignored.
Several years ago I asked an OCA priest about some of the OT issues (divine cruelty and where is Christ in it) and his answer was "you need to read more!" Well, to repeat the Ethiopian eunuch's line—who will interpret it for me? Lactantius?
