Was St John corrected for this part of his homily? Or is this figurative?

Wild quote I found while reading St John Chrysostom. Quote: Homilies on the Statues, Homily 1, §32

Is this prayer Orthodox?

Saw this reel of a protestant bashing this and calling it "blasphemous" and "from.the pit of hell". Now I won't lie it does sound kinda odd. If this IS Orthodox can someone please explain how this prayer is okay?

Question about communion

I thought/heard when it’s time to receive the Eucharist, you just open your mouth and the priest puts the wine-soaked bread in from a close distance. But from what I’ve seen it seems like you put your lips, maybe not tongue, on the communal spoon. Is this the norm?

Rules for thee, not for me

Visitor: Jesus is God

Witness: No he isn't! In John 14:28 it says the father is greater than I.

Visitor: Actually in my bible, the citadel foundation bible, written by my organisation, it says
"The father is not greater than I".

Witness: the word "not" is not in the original greek. Why does your bible insert the word "not" onto the text.

Visitor: But let me explain. See, we have to harmonize the Bible. We know from John 1:1 and 3 that Jesus is God. We know from John 20:28 that St Thomas called him "My Lord and my God." We know from Hebrews 1:8 that the Father calls the Son "God". We know from revelations 22:13 that Jesus is the alpha and Omega. The translation just inserts "not" to make the text clear and harmonize it with what we already know to be true about Jesus.

Witness: Right, but the word "not" isn't in the Greek text of John 14:28. That is begging the question. You're using your conclusion to prove your premise.

Visitor: We aren't changing it maliciously; we are harmonizing it! If a verse seems to contradict our understanding, it has to be understood in light of the rest of Scripture.
