Asking saints who have passed away to pray for you…how can you ask a person who has passed away from this earth? I understand they are living in Christ…would not it be like saul trying to talk to samuel in the OT.

What’s an Eastern Orthodox?

So it’s my understanding that you are another denomination of Catholicism? I know there’s Roman Catholicism (from Rome), Episcopalian (from England), and Orthodox from East Europe. Is this true?

Excellent. I was just discussing Eastern Orthodoxy with my son. Just so you know, although I am evangelical/Pentecostal I admire the EOC.
The EOC claims to be the one true church in that it has preserved Apostolic truth unchanged for 2,000 years. My query is in relation to the veneration of Mary. I am a student of church history and it does not seem that the cult of the Virgin Mary originated either in the Apostolic Church or in the earliest post-Apostolic Church but was only taught from the 3rd century onwards. Am I wrong? This is a fundamental issue for me.

How longer is your OT canon in comparison to roman catholics? Which books and/or chapters more? And which Bible version (and edition) do you read?
-
I see where you have made comments about Tradition being part of the rule of faith in the church.
What tradition not contained in the Biblical text do you consider a necessary precondition for asserting that someone will spend Eternity with Christ, and why?
If there is not one, can you explain the role Tradition plays in the EO church?

Most liturgical parts of the OC is either a Trisagion or a Kyrie Eleison (Lord, have mercy). To put it openly, it starts with “Lord, have mercy”, proceeds in between with “Lord, have mercy” and ends with “Lord, have mercy”. What’s the significant of this chant and why is it repetitious in the OC compared to any other churches?

You really need to let go of your ✌️Orthodox✌️ heading and start looking towards Christianity. Let go of all the unnecessary man made traditions of man and start following Jesus the messiah.

I can’t see that anyone has asked this yet. I’m a little unfamiliar with Eastern Orthodoxy. What if any significant differences would you say there is between Eastern and Western Orthodoxy?
