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.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr@RobertKennedyJr·
In November 2019, I ran into Senator Lindsey Graham in the Capitol Rotunda while I was giving a speech during a demonstration for clean water. Although we stood on opposite sides of the political spectrum at the time, he invited me into his office and made me a cup of coffee. He was a fierce advocate for conservative values, but he never lost his Southern gentility. His passing is a significant loss for the American people. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, staff, and the people of South Carolina.

Why is it that the shameful critters come out of the woodwork only after the concerned is deceased? Probably for money.

BREAKING: NDA EXPIRED? A trans influencer alleges that the late Lindsey Graham paid her a “fat stack of cash” to do “unspeakable things” to him. And then she REALLY ripped into this “sissy” senator’s homophobia… “Eulogy for a horny hypocrite,” actress Jesse James Rose captioned her Instagram post about the dead MAGA senator. “Just woke up to find out Lindsey Graham is dead?? lol??? Most of you know him as the homophobic senator from South Carolina but to me he will always be the man who paid a twinky pre-transition college student (🙋🏻‍♀️) a fat stack of cash to do unspeakable things to him in a hotel room while he wore red lingerie 😌,” she wrote in her post. Social media is afire with speculation that any possible nondisclosure agreements Graham may have inked with sex workers expired when he died. Or perhaps they’re simply no longer afraid of retribution from a powerful sitting senator. “It is a canon trans event to have far right freaks bankrolling you & then turning around and voting against you,” continued Rose. “People looooooove to judge us for it but I never see them opening their wallets!!! Shoutout to s*x workers everywhere forced to humanize their enemies just to make rent.” “It is an absolute mindfvck too me that one of the reasons I have any semblance of financial security (& a lack of student loans) is because of this man. At the time I had no idea who he was, and I only figured it out because another group or twinks leaked Lady G to the media. Some queers tried to grandstand critique this, saying we shouldn’t ‘out’ people. I believe bigots with power deserve no peace or privacy, especially when they hold public office. I’m glad they did it. Icons, forever.” “Anyway, if you’ve ever enjoyed what I do on the internet know that it is in part because of Lindsey’s generous donation over a decade ago. If I’ve ever sent you $ for something know that was kickstarted by the now deceased sissy senator from South Carolina.” “Lindsey, rest in hell for what you did to our community. I will continue to love queer and trans people harder than you ever hated us. You loved every second of our time together and now everyone knows 😘” she concluded. Graham has long been rumored to be a closeted gay man and Rose’s allegation that he patronized sex workers is certainly not the first time that this narrative has bubbled up. If true, it renders his support of the bigoted Republican Party all the more odious. He sold out not only his fellow countrymen and women, but his own identity in the pursuit of a few fleeting scraps of power. Lindsey Graham will be remembered as a bloodthirsty monster who never met a war that he didn’t like. The world is a little safer with him gone. Please ❤️ and share if you believe the allegations against Graham!

I applaud Governor McMaster’s decision to appoint Darline Graham Nordone to replace her brother and our friend, Lindsey Graham, in the U.S. Senate. Lindsey’s legacy will continue through Darline, and I look forward to welcoming her soon.

The Jerusalem Post has now confirmed what I said from the beginning: U.S. Rep. @RoKhanna was not in a closed military zone when Israeli settlers blocked, harassed, and detained him. Shame on all those disgusting propagandists who rushed to parrot the settlers' narrative.

It has been almost a whole year of this fight. Most of us have had thoughts of Charlie as we go about our day and attention on the hearing last week, but realistically it has not actually affected our daily lives—even those of us who knew him well. (This is why “grief appropriation” is so utterly gross.) But when you’re the one IN the fight, you live and breathe it every moment even when you’re choosing to focus on work or family or just living and breathing. Erika has been living this for 10 months and will continue to live this fight the rest of her life. The only modicum of solace in this life will be the measure of justice our civil government can deliver. She has won because she recognizes the battle is spiritual and the battle belongs to the Lord. Not to the internet trolls, the people who lie and slander, or even the courtroom in Utah.
Graham Allen@GrahamAllen

This is so POWERFUL… WE ARE WITH YOU ERIKA KIRK!!! So you have the internet coming after you. You have them slandering your name. You have them saying all this trash about you. And what do you do? You wake up that next morning. You put on the armor of God, and you keep going!"

BREAKING Governor Henry McMaster (R-SC) appointed Senator Lindsey Graham’s sister — Darline Graham Nordone — to serve the rest of her brother’s term. “This duty and honor to name someone to serve in the place of this irresistible man; this irreplaceable man; this extraordinary man.” “Lindsey took care of his little sister in years long departed; it’s my honor to ask his little sister — Darline Graham — to finish his work for him now.”

My favorite personal memory of Senator Lindsey Graham was traveling with him to the Munich Security Conference back in 2019. He was a true leader. He was the biggest voice in every meeting with European allies. He didn’t waste any time with niceties. He had zero patience for bullshit. He even dropped his polite demeanor sometimes and dropped some f bombs! He wanted to hold our allies accountable on behalf of the American people, and he wasn’t performing for any cameras. He was knowledgeable, direct, and well-prepared. He was an excellent mentor, and he will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace Senator.

Here's a wonderful revelation from the Old Testament for all who bear the name "Christian". Jeremiah 31:6: For there will be a day when watchmen on the hills of Ephraim call out, "Arise, and let us go up to Zion, to the LORD our God." The Hebrew word for "watchmen" in this verse is "notzrim". Do you know what "notzrim" also means? 👉 “Christians"! Yes, the Hebrew word for "Christians" also means "Watchmen"! This is a prophetic calling for all Christ-followers, to proclaim the God of Israel and invite the world to worship Him in Zion! 🇮🇱🙏❤️
