I'm new to Orthodoxy, and i have learned that the Orthodox church views the holy trinity and an upright triangle, with The Father on the top, opposed to the Catholic church which is an upside-down triangle, with The Father and The Son on the top. I can see why each church views the trinity as they do, but I'm confused because from what i understand the trinity is equal with each other so the idea that there is a hierarchy is new to me.

Another thing is, there is verses in the new testament such as "I and The Father are one" and "Anyone who has seen me has seen The Father" So i guess my question is, why does the Orthodox church only view The Father as the head of the trinity? I'm definitely not opposed to that idea, I'm just learning.

I am a Christian, who has been very interested in the Catholic church as of recent (Though i have not actually joined the church). In the past i have attended a protestant church, and i did not like it. The catholic church provides me a place for genuine worship, with hymns, prayers, icons, i love it. But i find myself questioning the papacy, the catechism, the man made rules. Once i did research into these things, i felt hell bound. Like instead of following Jesus, i was just following the church, instead of Jesus saving me, it was how well i followed the rules.

So i am in the midst of a serious decision, i can choose to remain in the Catholic church, or i can start researching Orthodoxy. Is there any in the Orthodox church who has gone through something similar? I am very much open to Orthodoxy, i just need to hear what others think.

The story goes that a nun found an image of Jesus in a roll of film that she did not take in the 80s i believe. I cannot post the photo here but if you search "Miraculous Jesus photograph" you will find it. It is heavily debated on if it is real, so i am coming here to ask if anyone knows where the image came from. I want to believe it is Jesus, the man in the photo has very drawing and kind eyes as i would imagine Jesus would have, but at the same time i do not want to risk being wrong.

I love taking clips when I'm playing games with my friends, but my mic always cuts out and is super choppy and doesn't record what I'm saying. I've gone into my steam settings and changed all sorts of settings to try to fix it but it sounds the exact same every time. It's pretty annoying and i wonder if anyone has a solution
