Apotheoun Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) [quote name='j[color="#000000"]a[/color]ime' timestamp='1281986360' post='2158355'] I thought you were all about ignoring the tags? [/quote] I am opposed to tags that signify something unverifiable, e.g., whether or not a person is theologically orthodox. [quote name='j[color="#000000"]a[/color]ime' timestamp='1281986360' post='2158355'] Why are you giving yourself one?[/quote] My tag stands for something objective, i.e., the fact that I am a canonical member of an Eastern Catholic Church. Moreover, since I am an Eastern Christian some of my posts may be hard for a Western Christian, especially those who are unfamiliar with the theological differences between the East and the West, to understand (see [url="http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/index.php?showtopic=107534&view=findpost&p=2158154"]Dormition Post #2[/url] and [url="http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/index.php?showtopic=107534&view=findpost&p=2158159"]Post #4[/url]). The Eastern Christian group tag would visually assist the reader by letting him know that I - and anyone else who had the tag - represent a distinct doctrinal, spiritual, and liturgical patrimony. P.S. - I did suggest that the tags be done away with, and I still think that is best, but I am not the owner of this phorum.

hope&memory Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 [quote name='Nihil Obstat' timestamp='1281981227' post='2158259'] "Red is used in icons to represent humanity and the saving nature of the resurrection. It is the color of blood and thereby signifies life on earth. Blue signifies the heavens and the kingdom of God not on this earth. Byzantine icons of the Theotokos show her with red outer garments and blue ones on the inside. This signifies her original human nature by the red and her heavenly nature by the blue. Icons of Christ will show him with Blue outer clothing and red inner clothing. Signifying his Heavenly origins and earthly existence as being secondary."

let_go_let_God Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I voted Red. Aside from some of the above mentioned reasons, it would match dUSt's new color pallet that he gave us. God bless- LGLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
