10. WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF THE TEACHING ON THE ORTHODOX FAITH?

We will draw the teaching on the Orthodox faith from Divine revelation.

11. WHAT DO WE MEAN BY DIVINE REVELATION?

Divine revelation is what God Himself wished to reveal to people, so that they could believe in Him correctly and salvificly and worthily honor Him.

12. IS DIVINE REVELATION GIVEN TO ALL?

God has given the necessary and saving revelation for all people, but since not everyone is able to receive revelation directly from God, He has chosen special heralds who have passed on divine revelation to those who wish to receive it.

Not all people are able to directly receive revelation from God because of their sinful impurity and weakness of spirit and body.

14. WHO WERE THE HERALDS OF GOD'S REVELATION?

They received and preached the principles of God's revelation; and in fullness and perfection the revelation of God was brought to earth by the incarnate Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ, and spread it throughout the world through His disciples and apostles.
