Our pious ideas about the Apostles
One of the bloggers on yesterday’s post said: At the same time, I am reminded of the statement of Jesus to the effect that he was homeless, that he had no place to lay his head. Perhaps there is “voluntary poverty” involved? The statement to which he is referring is: And Jesus said to him, […]
Poor and illiterate apostles and New Testament people?
After yesterday’s post, another blogger commented: What was their own standing in their own community? We can’t know, I think. But from the texts alone, it seems evident that they had their own business and one of them, at least, owned a boat. Several of them had houses (one passage in the Gospel says something […]
Were the apostles poor and illiterate?
Were the twelve apostles poor and illiterate? I was leading a Bible Study tonight when one of the people involved made the statement that the Twelve Apostles were probably mostly poor and illiterate. After all, they were fishermen and salt of the earth, and many people did not know how to read or write back […]
JetBlue folk hero flight attendant — but why?
From the JetBlue blog site: It wouldn’t be fair for us to point out absurdities in other corners of the industry without acknowledging when it’s about us.

Almost always the priest controls the situation, speaks politely to the person and tries to guide them back to a more appropriate behavior. […]
God, science, and Fr. Thomas Hopko
Thanks to a friend, Father Orthoduck is going to give you a link rather than trying to continue the subject of Christianity and science. Why so? Because the link is to a series of podcasts on Darwin and Christianity by Father Thomas Hopko. Now Fr. Hopko is one of the leading Orthodox theologians in the […]
Incredible guitar playing
Tico_Tico _-_ Duo_ Siqueira_Lima Uploaded by trucysuryonne. – Explore more music videos. The above video has nothing whatsoever to do with anything that either Father Ernesto or Father Orthoduck has posted recently. It is simply a fun video for today.
The god of the gaps
A person who commented on yesterday’s post had some things to say with which I agree, even though s/he meant them as a criticism. Nevertheless, it does allow me to make a couple of points. Speaking of religious scientists s/he said: There’s only a problem when they invoke god, also known as magic, to solve […]
