2 I Believe,1 | the Father~I believe in God the Father, Who is without
3 I Believe,1 | believe and confess that God the Father never became
4 I Believe,1 | theophanies (appearances of God) of the Old Testament, as
5 I Believe,1 | bear witness, it was not God the Father Who appeared,
6 I Believe,1 | Angel of the Lord, the Lord God of Sabaoth, the Angel of
7 I Believe,1 | Likewise, in the New Testament, God the Father never appeared
8 I Believe,1 | said, "No man hath seen God at any time; the Only-begotten
9 I Believe,1 | Father, save He Who is of God, He hath seen the Father" (
10 I Believe,1 | and invisible. Therefore, God the Father is not depicted
11 I Believe,1 | beginning and man was created by God's love. The creation of
12 I Believe,1 | gives Him satisfaction. God has no need to be satisfied.
13 I Believe,1 | satisfied. He needs nothing. God's love cannot be compared
14 I Believe,1 | their human counterparts. God's love is a love that constitutes
15 I Believe,1 | man's reason or intellect. God has no "emotions" which
16 I Believe,1 | agreement with Scripture, that God is love. ~
17 I Believe,3 | From His conception, He was God and Man before birth, during
18 I Believe,3 | Theotokos the Mother of God in time. She was a Virgin
19 I Believe,3 | Prophet Ezekiel through which God entered into the world "
20 I Believe,4 | the will and the Word of God. I believe that matter was
21 I Believe,4 | and corruption, yet it is God's creation and therefore
22 I Believe,5 | noetic beings created by God, that they had a beginning
23 I Believe,5 | darkened and wicked, fell from God and turned into demons.
24 I Believe,5 | and their communion with God, know no envy and are not
25 I Believe,5 | prayers. All beings created by God's wisdom, will, and love
26 I Believe,6 | Immortality~I believe that only God is eternal and immortal
27 I Believe,6 | are immortal only because God bestows this immortality
28 I Believe,6 | for the immortality which God bestows by His divine will,
29 I Believe,7 | Mystery of Evil~I believe that God created neither death nor
30 I Believe,7 | has estranged himself from God; it is the degeneration
31 I Believe,7 | sinner dies, not because God slays him in punishment
32 I Believe,7 | him—for man cannot offend God, nor does God experience
33 I Believe,7 | cannot offend God, nor does God experience any satisfaction
34 I Believe,7 | from the Source of Life. God is not responsible for evil,
35 I Believe,7 | He its cause. Neither is God blameworthy because He created
36 I Believe,7 | would not be free. However, God wished that, after a fashion,
37 I Believe,7 | our own eternal destiny. God knows in His infinite wisdom
38 I Believe,7 | for man's salvation. Thus God uses the consequences of
39 I Believe,7 | respect for our freedom. Thus God permits trials and sufferings
40 I Believe,7 | sake of humility, beseech God to spare me from them, even
41 I Believe,8 | believe and I confess that God created man neither mortal
42 I Believe,8 | defilement and alienation from God are caused by sin that entered
43 I Believe,8 | like all of us, had need of God's Grace. God is the Saviour
44 I Believe,8 | had need of God's Grace. God is the Saviour of the Virgin
45 I Believe,9 | the work of his salvation. God does not take upon Himself
46 I Believe,9 | will and resolve to be with God, his desire and love for
47 I Believe,9 | his desire and love for God. Man cannot accomplish his
48 I Believe,9 | be, and he must entreat God to grant him the strength
49 I Believe,9 | receive this desire from God "Who gives to all men and
50 I Believe,9 | will to ask all things from God.~
51 I Believe,10| to merit something from God. Not only do we have no
52 I Believe,10| his devotion and faith in God. Our faith in Jesus Christ
53 I Believe,10| Scriptures attest "which God prepared beforehand that
54 I Believe,10| Faith is also a gift of God, and a man relying on his
55 I Believe,10| to those who desire it, God grants it, not because of
56 I Believe,10| with man's free will. If God has given us faith, we must
57 I Believe,10| favor to the goodness of God Whose reasons escape us.
58 I Believe,10| faith, but only the Living God Who saves us.~
59 I Believe,11| salvation offered to man by God, the Holy Spirit overshadowed
60 I Believe,11| since as the Fathers say, "God became man so that man could
61 I Believe,11| so that man could become God." Thus St. Gregory the Theologian
62 I Believe,11| angels" (Ps. 8:5), can, by God's grace, surpass even the
63 I Believe,11| salvation offered Her by God. Thus, God is the Saviour
64 I Believe,11| offered Her by God. Thus, God is the Saviour of the Most
65 I Believe,12| The Saints~I believe that God "glorified those who glorify
66 I Believe,12| individual relation with God outside of the Church. For
67 I Believe,12| perfection. I believe that our God is the "God of our Fathers"
68 I Believe,12| believe that our God is the "God of our Fathers" and that
69 I Believe,12| Dan 3:34). Those whom God has glorified, I also glorify.
70 I Believe,12| well-pleasing worship offered of God since it is because of Him
71 I Believe,12| sake but "for the grace of God which is given" him (ICor.
72 I Believe,12| feast of a saint, it is God Who is always worshipped,
73 I Believe,12| victory being the occasion for God to be worshipped. Indeed,
74 I Believe,12| called gods (John 10:34-35). God Himself has granted His
75 I Believe,13| before the Incarnation of God, before the Nativity of
76 I Believe,13| man's reasoning concerning God Who is by nature and in
77 I Believe,13| or imagination concerning God will, by necessity, be alien
78 I Believe,13| matter, but I confess that God Who is immaterial by nature
79 I Believe,14| because of their relation to God. God alone, Who is the cause
80 I Believe,14| of their relation to God. God alone, Who is the cause
81 I Believe,14| creatures that are sanctified by God are venerated and worshipped
82 I Believe,14| of their communion with God, the effects of Divine sanctification
83 I Believe,15| holy relics, the grace of God acts upon our total being,
84 I Believe,15| of the Holy Spirit. Thus, God can act through the holy
85 I Believe,15| as being, by the grace of God, endowed with intrinsic
86 I Believe,16| Scriptures are inspired by God and that, as St. John Chrysostom
87 I Believe,16| were transmitted orally to God's people before they were
88 I Believe,16| Fathers who are glorified by God. I reject all human systems
89 I Believe,17| that It was instituted by God through the power of the
90 I Believe,17| Church is instituted by God and is a tree that is rooted
91 I Believe,17| for his Mother cannot have God as his Father, and that
92 I Believe,17| mercy and righteousness God deals with those who are
93 I Believe,17| ourselves with the judgements of God concerning such people.
94 I Believe,17| concerning such people. God did not institute schismatic
95 I Believe,18| without a head. Since He is God, our Lord Jesus Christ,
96 I Believe,20| that both the Kingdom of God and Hell shall be eternal.
97 I Believe,20| only at the Last Judgment. God loves not only those who
98 I Believe,20| wicked. This is not due to God's love but to their own
99 I Believe,20| received not the promise, since God has provided some better
100 I Believe,20| prophets, and have hope in God, which they themselves also
101 I Believe,20| Thee, Jesus, Thou Son of God? Art Thou come hither to
102 I Believe,20| The End and Glory Be to God~ ~
