Andwhat more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also ofDavid and Samuel and the prophets: who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtainedpromises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out ofweakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Women receivedtheir dead raised to life again. Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a betterresurrection. Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment. They werestoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins andgoatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented – of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts andmountains, in dens and caves of the earth. And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did notreceive the promise, God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart fromus. Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, andthe sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus,the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame,and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. GOSPEL John 1:43-51 At that time, Jesus wanted to go toGalilee, and He found Philip and said to him, “Follow Me.” Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew andPeter. Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also theprophets, wrote – Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out ofNazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, “Behold,an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!” Nathanael said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and saidto him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” Nathanael answered and said to Him,“Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you, ‘Isaw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” And He said to him, “Mostassuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending uponthe Son of Man.”

May He, the Spirit of truth Who leads the saints into alltruth, teach us the truth, that we may abide in it, repenting of our error and ignorance.

The Eastern Orthodox Church- ORTHODOX FAITH OR FAITHS? In Becoming Orthodox, Peter Gillquist asserts, “The Orthodox church miraculously carries today the same faith and life of the Church of the New Testament.” 6 The presupposition behind this statement is that the Orthodox church is a unified body that speaks with one voice.
