@Cflakes82 @Alex_Ortodoxie Hasn’t James White said that he won’t debate EO?

This is the underlying point at issue.
Mad respect for whoever takes this debate.

@Acts17David David would you like to set up a formal debate on what the true church is?
English
@PhilipF1689 @JayDyer JW has said before that he won’t debate EO people.

@RyanBea64600306 @C2Antiquity @TopLobsta I thought I remembered seeing you in evangelical posts. Are you new to Orthodoxy?
English
@C2Antiquity @TopLobsta A couple books that were really helpful for myself, hope they’re a blessing to others as well. 🙏

These people worship the church more than God.

When Christ says to blessed Peter, that the gates of hell SHALL nor prevail against the church. Who were the first Christians? Who where the students of the apostles? Who did they pass it down too... *coughs Orthodox* Now, if you are saying, the entire structure throughout the last 2000 years; has just been men fucking it up. Then did Christ lie? Is this a mistake in the Bible?

@noetic_healing @AsceticDreams A gun is a tool. My gun is anti-death and anti-violence.

@AsceticDreams Lord have mercy what weak faith does it take to bring a weapon of death into the altar of life.
English
There should never be a weapon near the altar.

This is so incredibly wrong! Girls should not be altar servers.

@yiannis550 @JayDyer @TopLobsta But isn't the priestly figure in the same image also Christ? I know there are icons involving multiple instances of Christ (nativity for example), but this seems meaningfully different
English
@TopLobsta @human4christ @EastRiver90 @JayDyer Just a quick glance at your posts proves you call people cowards for doing the very thing you are doing right now.
English
@TheDog620 @needGod_net I was coming up with an example situation. You and needGod are certainly rejecting Christ’s Body, so you’re very unchristian.
So, the scriptures can interpret themselves? 4th person of the Trinity? Are the scriptures eternal as well 😆
English
@IkeLifeLike @needGod_net I don’t assume we are both Christians….and the norm for settle disputes are the Scriptures…not the EO

@TheDog620 @needGod_net Again you seem to purposefully miss my point.
If you believe something about the Bible that is opposite to what I believe about the Bible, then how do we come to a normative consensus on the difference that we have? Assuming we’re both Christians.
English
@IkeLifeLike @needGod_net God does by His self-attesting Word….not an infallible act declared by the EO’s institution
English
@TheDog620 @needGod_net You literally are not interacting with the problem I have brought up. Maybe because you can’t? I’ll say it again:
Who settles doctrinal disputes over what the Bible means or which biblical canon to accept?
English
@IkeLifeLike @needGod_net Nope — I’m just trying to kick a short field goal, and you keep throwing flags 😂
The ultimate principle for settling doctrinal disputes must terminate in the speech of God, not in an ecclesiastical act of a visible institution. Otherwise, the goalposts have already been moved.
English
@TheDog620 @needGod_net Again, you’re moving the goalpost. I’m arguing for which principle can settle disputes. Not for personal certitude.
English
@IkeLifeLike @needGod_net But how do you know that your understanding of the Eastern Orthodox interpretation is actually the correct one?
English
@yiannis550 @Jonwatsaiki @JayDyer Wouldn’t they need to have at least a kernel of faith for that to be at all effective? If they’re just doing it like some kind of spell detached from what they actually believe then I would think it would be useless.
English
@Jonwatsaiki @JayDyer Try crossing your self and call Jesus when they are near you.
English
@TheDog620 @needGod_net Or are you just the arbiter of the correct interpretation?
English
@TheDog620 @needGod_net That’s exactly MY argument…if I interpret the text differently than you who is to say who is objectively correct? The EO position is that the visible Church that God established and that is talked about as having a physical existence is the means by which God guides us.
English
@TheDog620 @needGod_net Do you directly download God’s own mind and meaning of the text? Or do we interpret it 😆
English
@TheDog620 @needGod_net You’re moving the goalpost. No one is disagreeing that God is infallible…
English
@Nicholai_Korea Isn’t Siig (Jerome) an oriental orthodox? I could be wrong.
English
I have a small issue with some of the meta narrative surrounding this
This is an earnest attempt to reorient black culture to something greater (Orthodoxy). He still defines black persons experiences w/ "white supremacy" this is creating a subculture narrative in Orthodoxy
vlad ☦︎@vladorthodoxy
Black People WILL be Orthodox Christians ☦️ 📿 More and more Black brothers & sisters are coming home to Holy Orthodoxy ☦️
