Principles for Orthodox apologetics. 1 - Before anything, revere God in your heart. This involves prayer, attending services, and seeking God with all your heart. This is only found on your knees in prayer. 2 - Be prepared. For Protestants this "preparation" centers around knowing the Bible very well. If you are going to debate a Sola Scriptura person you need to be prepared to answer them on their terms - from Scripture, not tradition. And Scripture supports Orthodoxy because it came out of the Church. But the Bible also tells us that we are not to prepare a defense in advance. Luk 21:14-15 But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. This means we are to be guided by the Spirit. 3 - When apologetics is done right, it's done with ""gentleness and respect". Pride and arrogance are the downfall for all of us. Talking over the other person is one evidence you are not acting with respect. The other person is allowed to be rude. The Orthodox Christian is not. They are allowed to be arrogant. The Orthodox Christian is not.

WSJ: U.S. War Planes and Helicopters Kick Off Battle to Reopen Hormuz The U.S. has deployed A-10 Warthogs and Apache attack helicopters to the Strait of Hormuz in an intensified campaign to reopen the waterway — now closed to commercial shipping for nearly three weeks. Brent crude briefly touched $119 a barrel Thursday before settling at $108. Twenty percent of the world's oil exports move through the strait. The Trump administration is now managing the economic fallout of a war it launched on February 28. The Pentagon says more than 120 Iranian naval vessels have been destroyed. Iran is still believed to have hundreds of undamaged boats in hardened coastal tunnels, along with mines and truck-mounted cruise missiles that analysts say could take weeks to neutralize, if at all. Meanwhile Iran's parliament is considering legislation to charge tolls on select ships it allows through. Tehran is turning a military chokehold into economic leverage — potentially forcing nations that need Gulf energy to deal with Iran directly. A force of 2,200 Marines is also heading to the region, with a possible mission to seize Iranian islands off the southern coast. The U.S. went to war to eliminate Iran's military capacity. Three weeks in, Iran still controls the strait, oil is above $100, and Washington is sending in the Marines.

@LowStudies @SuppressedNws1 Agreed, I don't buy the theory that he's dead. Very possible he's in hiding. Videos could be AI. Could be a body-double, world leaders have used them for a very long time. But highly doubt he's dead. Some things are just too good to be true 😅

With Ali Larijani I had very long philosophical conversation but not about Kant. About Sohravardi and his theory of Tenth Intellect, about Malakut and about Purple Archangel. Translator was exhausted finding the adequate words with great difficulty. Larijani was wise and deep.

@ruckusofantioch It's C2A's standard way of discrediting someone. 1 Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

@SteveLovesAmmo My kids grew up watching Dinosaurs. They watch it with their kids and have commented on how most of the jokes went over them when they were kids, Great show.

You can really date someone by asking what cartoons they grew up watching. Me for example were: Dinosaurs, Ahh! Real Monsters and Aladdin.

My family built this house in Israel 126 years ago, and still live in the same spot. Post whatever you want on social media, your posts will not move them one inch from the land they have been cultivating for 5 generations. Am Yisrael Chai.

Israeli settlers escalate their incursions into Taybeh, the West Bank’s last fully Christian town, raising concerns over further land appropriation. The parish priest, Father Bashar Fawadleh, appeals for international intervention, as residents face mounting restrictions and call for peace, justice, and protection. vaticannews.va/en/church/news…

@VaticanNews First of all, no such place as West Bank, it is Judah and Samaria part of the Promised Land God gave to Israel. Israel has no problem with Christians living in Israel - they have their own quarter, just like the Arabs and Armenians.
