Is Faith a Cognitive Error?

Firstly, I'm appreciative of your 'interest', so please do not feel any presumption on my part in my replying.

Eastern Orthodoxy is not and never has considered itself a 'denomination'. It has identified itself as the Faith having inception at 33 A.D. and delivered to all by the Apostles. It has evolved some but not much. It has not introduced innovative ways of holding service, I.e., the primary worship service. Nor has it rethunk its theology, etc. and therefore introduced new or added/deleted doctrine or dogma.

For someone such as myself having difficulty with repetitiveness it's something that I do not consider the repetitive wording in our services cumbersome.

When services are sung, it is said we pray twice. First all wording is based in Scripture then having it sung is praying twice. We sing the Bible. We sing Scripture, not some innovative and catchy wording.

I love the richness of the Faith that was handed down to me. I participate in it willingly.

Husband was Covenant Congregational when we met. I never 'made' him or coerced him into embracing Orthodoxy. He sought it all on his own. He's practicing better than I, who at times a poor example.

Peace be to you.
