Reader Steve, who blogs at Pithless Thoughts and has a podcast on Ancient Faith Radio, Steve the Builder, does a nice job of comparing and contrasting the Orthodox and Protestant views of salvation in this video. This is a tricky subject and it is so easy for people to fall into the trap of making snide remarks. It is also simply a difficult thing to explain well. I think Steve does a good job and it is worth your while to have a look. No theology degree needed.

I think Rdr. Steve has always done a good job putting things into laymen's terms without making you feel like he's talking down to you.
On an unrelated note, when I typed the address to your blog today, I missed one letter, which took me to a different site altogether: http://prayingwithmyfeet.blogpot.com/
When I tried to load Fr. Benedict's blog and got the same page (I did not yet realize that I had misspelled blogspot), I was ready to weep. For a moment, I thought a quick Internet drive-by to see how things were in McComb had turned very sad indeed.
I was happy to realize my mistake.

Perhaps to clarify: apparently all extensions of “blogpot.com” redirect to http://biblestudy.us/, which is a fundamentalist, End Times/Israel-themed website.
