I understand. Don’t be defensive though. Many people are misinformed but become aware through your grounded debate. When dealing with Christian matters I add evidence text so people can’t refute especially since the Bible is the foundation of Christianity. I don’t get into doctrine debates only the words that are attributed to Christ words. Keep on teaching!

The confusion is there because you took my comment as disagreement when I agree that the church has an obligation to the community around it vs the commenter who posted this church has no obligation to the community. Apologies for the confusion. I listed the scripture to show that the church has a responsibility to the community around it. Not legally but ethically and definitely binding by Christ command.

Are they Christians? Are they followers of Christ? Do they use the Bible as a source of Knowledge? Because I listed the Christian scripture Matthew 28:19 that is attributed to Christ as a commandment to ALL Christians. I thought the Greek Orthodox Church was Christian in foundation. Christian means followers of Christ. How can any Christian, believe they don’t have an obligation to those around them. That’s the tenet of Christ himself. I didn’t say they should be traveling evangelist.

Just a correction: The Greek Orthodoxy was founded by Christ’s Apostles.

Who knew that followers of Christ could pick and choose which communities they served. I thought Christ showed by travel preaching all over, providing relief to those in need that it was their mission.

So wherever you go, make disciples of all nations: Baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19
