Perhaps that would be true with
Orthodox
and
Greek Orthodox and/or
Russian Orthodox
but not with orthodox meaning simply Biblically kosher.
Quix, you were saying — “but not with orthodox meaning simply Biblically kosher.”
[and also for guitarplayer1953 at post #42...]
Yeah, I was thinking that, plus being respectful about those who want to talk about the issue. I have already seen, in “open threads” that some who have posted here (up above) have already been disrespectful in their comments (elsewhere, which indicates their true thinking on the matter). They are dismissing it as crazy.
Well, there are quite a few things in the Bible that many others may dismiss as crazy and for whatever it’s worth, even demon possession is dismissed by many others, along with the idea that there are angels or that they have any kind of interaction with people, at all.
I mention the disrespect that some have, because in another thread, there was a poster here who then used the fact that this was even being discussed here — as a sign of some kind of “insanity” (if you will) of someone who would even participate in such a discussion.
And that’s why I can see that such a thread, as this, is put into this kind of format. Otherwise, one would never get a serious discussion of it. So, it’s very appropriate to be done here...
