V Orthodox Dogma  V

 

Dogma (Greek dógma, literally "decree") is a doctrine of practice or a body of doctrines formally and authoritatively affirmed. Dogmatics is the study of religious dogmas. In Orthodoxy, a dogma is not just a philosophical truth. It is a reality which is described by all the Saints & Glorified/Deified Church members. It is the experience of Pentecost through the passing of the years, which is the same with the experience of the Apostles.

 «...For there is no benefit in a clean living with corrupt dogmas;  just as in the opposite case, of healthy dogmas, if one's life is corrupt.» 

St. John Chrysostom (c. 349–407) - P.G. 59, 369
