Unironically ‘anti-islamianity’ is an ecumenist cult. Marketing “mere Christianity” as the solution to Islam.
I don’t care if you insult me or Jay.
I care for people’s souls.
Not a good look for either of you to be supporting attacks on the Orthodox Church. Which is exactly what Godlogic’s channel did.

Discussing @GodLogic_GL promoting Anti Orthodox videos | @Acts17David and @ApostateProphet recent attacks on Orthodoxy & The Pseudo Christian Movement of ‘Anti-Islamianity’ 👇
I don’t care what any evangelicals or otherwise think about me calling out @GodLogic_GL if the channels he runs through proxies are boosting anti-Orthodox attacks and propping up the worst (jp / mauler) - that’s an attack on Orthodoxy and Avery is responsible since it’s his official clips channel. ai don’t care if he’s friends with whoever.
Christianity isn’t a cool online club based on who is nice, it’s literally the Orthodox Church. You can’t do Christ without His Church and that goes for anyone in the made up online anti-Islamianity sphere: Ridvan, Wood, Scamoun, Avery, Ruslan, IP. None of these people are Orthodox and to be teachers they need Orthodox doctrine. If Orthodoxy isn’t your standard your assessment is meaningless.
In various places, @douglaswils has argued for an authority-submission understanding of the Trinity.
As he's put it in summary form: The Son's "existence is obedience - eternal obedience, obedience that could not be otherwise. The Father's existence is authority."
One angle of critique (or perhaps a friendly amendment): If the Father is authority and the Son obedience, how can the Son be the image of the Father?
Obedience only indirectly reveals the authority it obeys, so it seems the Son only indirectly reveals the Father.
But then it's not true, as Jesus says, "if you've seen me, you've seen the Father" (John 14). At best: "if you see My obedience, you can infer the Father's authority."
Conversely, if the Son obeys the Father and the Son images the Father, the Father must be the model of the Son's self-surrender.
Jesus said it Himself: I do nothing but what I see the Father doing (John 5).
If we want to stick with Wilson's claim about the Father, we'll have to say that self-surrender is the form of (or a facet of) authority. Which fits the way Paul talks about headship in Eph 5.
You can say a lot with your life without speaking.
Abel doesn’t say a word in the Biblical narrative, yet his blood still speaks today (Gen. 4.10, Heb. 11.4). And Noah is equally silent, but Peter calls him a ‘preacher of righteousness’.
@AvianSoul1 It went from: "Chemtrails are a crazy conspiracy theory you nut" to: "It's just Solar Radiation Management you ignoramus" in the span of about 2 of years.
Wizards playing word games. Unfortunately, it seems to be working with the vast majority of people.
@PaulVanderKlay Man spends his entire life ascending the hierarchy of the ancient Patriarchate of Rome only to be tasked with rolling out the new anime mascot.
@Stephen06968267@petersonacademy Take two people (multiplicity) and if they have a single desire (unity) then they love each other as they tend towards their desired goal. Applies to families, companies, movements, etc.
What is love?
"Love is the coexistence of unity and multiplicity.
If I love someone properly, I don't want to absorb them into myself. I want them to exist separate from me. And understanding that their existence separate from me is the reason why I can love them. It’s what makes us one in our loving relationship.
So, if you understand that notion, when we say, “God is love,” this is not a sentimental statement about God.
It's about the notion that love, in the proper manner, that unity and multiplicity are held together in a balance that's something like the highest image of reality. The thing that we should worship.
It’s something that we should all corporately attend to and celebrate, because it's that which binds most of reality together." - @PageauJonathan
@Pastor_Gabe More complex than that. Just depends on the context
Exo 32:14 - So the Lord changed His mind about the harm which He said He would do to His people. NASB
Gen 6:6 - The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. NIV
Higher critical biblical scholarship sounds scary until you realize scholars determine what “really happened” based on the assumption that miracles never happen
