“The Holy Spirit, present everywhere and filling all things, brings the faithful together as the Body of Christ and establishes the context of prayer and worship.”

“Ukrainian priest Fr. Anthony Ugolnik believes that while the Protestant mind is culturally and literarily disposed to envision the Word of God in terms of a book, the Orthodox mind “interprets that Word in the light of the image that reflects it.”36 Stated another way, for the Orthodox the Bible is not the Word, but it is one of many reflections (or “true images” or “icons”) of the Word (the Logos, Jesus Christ). For the Orthodox, writes Ugolnik, the Bible is indeed understood as a repository of meaning, yet it is regarded as if it were itself an image—“transforming dead matter into the reflected image of Jesus Christ.”37 The view of Scripture as icon also means that Scripture is not the totality of God’s inexhaustible self-revelation, but is a form of revelation.”

“A heretical teaching arises out of a decision to deviate from revelation in favor of one’s own insights. In the Christian context, heresy means an intentional or formal preference to deny or compromise a core dogma of the Christian Faith even when one is faced with a preponderance of evidence that the resulting belief is not correct.”
