Orthodox both like and different from others

We should not condemn "other" Christians nor should we think that being Orthodox is a rock-solid guarantee that everything will be just peachy and clear sailing. Life is a struggle. Being Orthodox is a struggle. We're sinners whether we're Orthodox or not.

Thank you. This was well put. One thing that the Orthodox Church offers abundantly is ways to search out one\'s own sin and beg for God\'s limitless forgiveness. Since Scripture forces us, the Orthodox, to look at our own sin, and this impulse is reiterated by the prayers and the words of the saints, we have plenty of work to do before we condemn those outside the Orthodox Church.
