  • We visit St. Catherine's Monastery on Mt. Sinai where we interview and are given a tour by Fr. Justin Sinaites, the librarian of the monastery. This holy ground can be seen as the embodiment of the revelation of God to men. From Moses, to Elijah, to Holy Fathers such as St. John Climacus, we continue to experience the living God at Mt. Sinai until this very day.

      Just like biblical and historical evidence proves that jesus and his apostles were vegatarians biblical and historical evidence also proves that the trinity, atonement, original sin and hell are very late misinterpretations and are not supported by the early creed hence its not a part of Christianity I pray that Allah swt revives Christianity both inside and out preserves and protects it and makes its massage be witnessed by all people but at the right moment, place and time
      The secred text of the Bible says ye shall know them by their fruits
      So too that I say to my christian brothers and sisters be fruitful and multiply
      Best regards from a Muslim ( line of ismail )

      @@theguyver4934 Muhammad didn't exist until the 7th century. The church had already held 5 ecumenical councils before Islam was even a thing. John of Damascus thought an Arian monk influenced this new sect. He actually thought it was a new heresy and called it the heresy of the Ishmaelites. Muhammad spread his new idea with the sword. He raided caravans outside of Mecca and once Mecca was weak he invaded it. False prophets like Muhammad come and go. There nothing new under the sun says Ecclesiastes.

      @@filippaoronto3880 It was AMAZING! It was so beautiful! I even got to meet Father Justin and ask him some questions. ☺ He's a super nice guy, and you can tell he's very knowledgable. They don't allow you to take pictures of the artwork, but I saw paintings I have only ever seen in books, and seeing it in real life does not compare. There is truly a spiritual presence there. The chapel was just gorgeous. I'm not Orthodox, and I'm more familiar with churches in the Protestant/Catholic tradition, but the Orthodox aesthetic is also beautiful. And the bedouins I met were very interesting and friendly people! All in all, I feel very glad and very lucky that I was able to go.

      They're icons not idols. You are probably a protestant thus your ignorance. Orthodox Christians do not revere the wood or the paint but who the icon represents. Just like you'd keep a beloved one's picture close to you. That's not difficult to understand is it? Kissing and revering an icon you revere the Lord, Theotokos or Saint it represents. We show our love in this way. Maybe that's why Orthodoxy isn't stale dogmatism but the only true ancient church as it was handed down by the apostles.
