Why is Christmas on December 25th? Should Christians celebrate or recognize Hanukkah? Is the Orthodox Church inaccessible to people because of ethnicity? Is ethnicity and a lack of emphasis on missions an argument against the Orthodox Church being the true Church of Jesus Christ?

Our “Random Questions” series continues on Search the Scriptures LIVE! with discussions covering a wide variety of subjects, including whether our pets will go to heaven, the difference between the heart and the nous, Protestant arguments against the ordained priesthood, how Catholics interpret the Scriptures to support their claims of papal supremacy, and whether the Fathers are infallible.

Are we in the end times? Are we seeing signs of the end of the world? Is the COVID vaccine the Mark of the Beast or a precursor to it? How are we to interpret the book of Revelation? Dr. Jeannie will discuss these issues through a careful discussion of the Book of Revelation and the Fathers of the Church on Search the Scriptures LIVE TONIGHT.

Fr. Costas joins us once more with another list. This time it is 50 Ways to Fight Temptation. We will also continue to discuss more "random questions from listeners" on subjects such as our relationship with the non-Chalcedonian (i.e., "Oriental Orthodox") Churches.

When we speak about salvation, exactly what are we being saved from? Why did Jesus have to die? Why couldn't God just forgive us? Will we sin in the next life? If repentance means to change your mind, what does it mean that we continue to sin?

Does God expect perfection from us? Our Random Questions series continues with a variety of theological topics, including how we explain certain puzzling statements by Christ, such as "Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect," or "only the Father knows," not the Son. How does Christ still intercede for us, and how do we understand the relationship between the persons of the Trinity? Tune in TONIGHT for a discussion of these questions and more.

We will continue our discussion on spiritual warfare and the passions. What are the passions? Why do we have them? When are they harmful? How do we combat them? How does the spirituality of the Orthodox Church, its understanding of the human person, respond to the values of this world, for example the statement that "love is love"?

Our discussion of "random questions" submitted by listeners continues. First, we will consider one of the most common arguments frequently heard to defend same-sex relationships: "Love is love." Is this true? Christ told us to love one another, so does that support the idea that "love is love"? We will then turn our attention to the subject of spiritual warfare. What is spiritual warfare, and is this something the Orthodox church emphasizes? Both Jesus and St. Paul speak about "spiritual fruit." How do we develop the fruit of the Spirit? Join us LIVE tonight

How are we to interpret the book of Revelation? Our discussion continues with a deep dive into the Apocalypse of John, illumined by the Fathers of the Church, especially Andrew of Caesarea. What are the REAL signs of the end, according to Revelation and NOT according to private speculations? What is the Mark of the Beast? How will we recognize the Antichrist? Can the vaccine be the Mark of the Beast or a precursor to it? Should Orthodox Christians be afraid? Join us live TONIGHT!
