@bannedpastor Not an eye blemish. Look stuff up first brosky

This blasphemous icon is not Jesus he is the lamb without blemish!

@RealBenMichael @AL_J82 "Imma steel yo girl" ahh response

@AL_J82 The only bleeding is from your church every time you post about us. For every one or two who you take out of inquiry, there are a dozen who start inquiring after the exposure to our Church. I know cuz they’re in my DM’s. Keep it up😎

Message to the Orthodox Church. In order to stop the bleeding that's happening online, it'll be best if you shift your focus from us protestants and redirect that energy towards these bad actors in your name. Seriously, between "baptism-gate" and the OrthoBro revenge porn

@RevivedThoughts It is helpful for sure. Necessary? Probably not, but certainly helpful.

Should Christians do a better job of knowing philosophy?

@rachallison1 I do miss when in order for a take to be "based" it had to also be true.

I’m amazed anyone supports this guy.

@BruceSaiFun Your church views this as a valid baptism.

This is what St. Ignatius condemned, heretics like this clout chaser who thinks he is his own god and bishop: x.com/Acts17David/st… Ignatius, who is also called Theophorus, to the Church of God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, which is at Philadelphia, in Asia, which has obtained mercy, and is established in the harmony of God, and rejoices unceasingly in the passion of our Lord, and is filled with all mercy through his resurrection; which I salute in the blood of Jesus Christ, who is our eternal and enduring joy, especially if [men] are in unity with the bishop, the presbyters, and the deacons, who have been appointed according to the mind of Jesus Christ, whom He has established in security, after His own will, and by His Holy Spirit. Chapter 1. Praise of the bishop Which bishop, I know, obtained the ministry which pertains to the common [good], not of himself, neither by men, Galatians 1:1 nor through vainglory, but by the love of God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ; at whose meekness I am struck with admiration, and who by his silence is able to accomplish more than those who vainly talk. For he is in harmony with the commandments [of God], even as the harp is with its strings. Wherefore my soul declares his mind towards God a happy one, knowing it to be virtuous and perfect, and that his stability as well as freedom from all anger is after the example of the infinite meekness of the living God. Chapter 2. Maintain union with the bishop Wherefore, as children of light and truth, flee from division and wicked doctrines; but where the shepherd is, there follow as sheep. For there are many wolves that appear worthy of credit, who, by means of a pernicious pleasure, carry captive 2 Timothy 3:6 those that are running towards God; but in your unity they shall have no place. Chapter 3. Avoid schismatics Keep yourselves from those evil plants which Jesus Christ does not tend, because they are not the planting of the Father. Not that I have found any division among you, but exceeding purity. For as many as are of God and of Jesus Christ are also with the bishop. And as many as shall, in the exercise of repentance, return into the unity of the Church, these, too, shall belong to God, that they may live according to Jesus Christ. Do not err, my brethren. If any man follows him that makes a schism in the Church, he shall not inherit the kingdom of God. If any one walks according to a strange opinion, he agrees not with the passion [of Christ.]. Chapter 4. Have but one Eucharist, etc. Take heed, then, to have but one Eucharist. For there is one flesh of our Lord Jesus Christ, and one cup to [show forth ] the unity of His blood; one altar; as there is one bishop, along with the presbytery and deacons, my fellow-servants: that so, whatsoever you do, you may do it according to God. (Epistle to the Philadelphians: newadvent.org/fathers/0108.h…) Chapter 8. Let nothing be done without the bishop See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. It is not lawful without the bishop either to baptize or to celebrate a love-feast; but whatsoever he shall approve of, that is also pleasing to God, so that everything that is done may be secure and valid. Chapter 9. Honour the bishop Moreover, it is in accordance with reason that we should return to soberness [of conduct], and, while yet we have opportunity, exercise repentance towards God. It is well to reverence both God and the bishop. He who honours the bishop has been honoured by God; he who does anything without the knowledge of the bishop, does [in reality] serve the devil. Let all things, then, abound to you through grace, for you are worthy. You have refreshed me in all things, and Jesus Christ [shall refresh] you. You have loved me when absent as well as when present. May God recompense you, for whose sake, while you endure all things, you shall attain unto Him. (Epistle to the Smyrnæans: newadvent.org/fathers/0109.h…)

@BarelyProt This is what I always picture.

The Orthobros have New Atheist energy.

@Bassnbeardy @vessel_43 @Acts17David All the testimony of those who actually know him to the contrary.

@vessel_43 @Acts17David Prove that Andrew's lying.

😮

@WeTheRemnant777 @paleochristcon @bannedpastor That's pretty much what I suspected. I'm not orthodox, but I hate bad arguments against it as much as I hate bad arguments for it.

@DaltonBox8 @paleochristcon @bannedpastor My wife, two kids and I were baptized at the same time and weren’t charged a dime. I donated to the priest but weren’t required to. That’s how 99% of Orthodox Churches operate. Even the ones that have “fees” posted will not deny you baptism if you aren’t able to pay.

Sorry, I was wrong. Not all orthodox charge $250, some charge $1,000.

@paleochristcon @bannedpastor Clarifying question. Are these fees specifically for big baptism events? Would someone who would just like to be baptized without anything extra be expected to pay?

@bannedpastor So?

@JPuncut In the spirit of the kind of charity I'd like to see more of in general, is it possible the fees/donations are only for those who would like to have a large event for their baptism with meals and such? Is this expected for those who only want to be baptized?

😂😂😂😂😂 Did Peter and Paul charge a $1000 donation fee for baptisms then? Peter literally said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”.... for a recommended fee of $1000

@C2Antiquity @btbsoco This is obtuse brother. saying he's not a grifter for sending ex muslims to a messianic Synagogue does not mean he agrees with it. I disagree with Avery doing that but I absolutely reject the claim that he's a grifter.

@btbsoco Do you agree we shouldn’t send ex Muslims to this cult?

...@C2Antiquity even if we grant your accusation that this is poor judgement - it does not validate your slur that he is a grifter... Just eat some humble pie for once in your life admit you were wrong and apologise...

@Dauntless_1377 @JaiNDoC_RL How much learning do I have to do to figure out how the original poster being an idiot who would lose a debate on orthodoxy relates to whether or not David Wood being a secret cusser is true?

@DaltonBox8 @JaiNDoC_RL If you’re not sure then it’s time to start learning

Andrew has resorted to lying and slander. I can testify that David is the exact same in-person as he is online. I must say though, over the past few days I have observed that these Dyer fans have no problem lying, with no restraint at all.

@Dauntless_1377 @JaiNDoC_RL I'm not sure what the relevance of that would be either

@DaltonBox8 @JaiNDoC_RL It would prove Jai is an idiot

@DefiantBaptist I haven't retreated in the slightest. Can you demonstrate how I have?

@DaltonBox8 And now you're retreating. Maybe you shouldn't comment on things when you're ignorant.

I watched the full two hour interview of Gavin Ortlund by Lila Rose, so that you don’t have to. Below is a theological liberal supercut: 1) Ortlund and Rose both attended Ruslan KD’s “Bless God Summit.” I’m not against all conferences, but no serious person should be partnering

@Dauntless_1377 @JaiNDoC_RL With that prove Andrew to be correct about David Wood being a secret cusser?

@JaiNDoC_RL Just passive aggressive, feminine behavior. Go ahead and debate someone Orthodox and prove them wrong. Lets see you try

@DefiantBaptist I only pointed out that none of the things you pointed to had anything to do with the actual movement called theological liberalism. Where did I attack you? Does believing Gavin is not a theological liberal necessarily make me one? I did not even say i agreed with him.

@DaltonBox8 You're defending Gavin Ortlund, a theological liberal. You're attacking me, a discerning Christian.

@DefiantBaptist How does this prove that I am a theological liberal?

@DaltonBox8 Okay. x.com/DefiantBaptist…

@DefiantBaptist Prove it

@DaltonBox8 I hate to be the one to tell you this, but you’re a theological liberal and don’t know it.

@JesusIsLord0405 The plan is a Too debate. He's going to be watching videos on stream about orthodoxy and inviting anyone to call in to respond to what he's watching. He's trying to learn right now.

That might not be a good idea. I like David Wood, but I have little confidence, that he could win a theological debate with an educated Orthodox.
