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.

@JesseDornfeld @DrMichaelLBrown This is inexcusable.

@LowStudies @DrMichaelLBrown I said it to someone else. I maintain that position. Look, one woman who was a supposed victim is dead, and can't even speak for herself and the other has a history, to put it kindly. I think the story is largely blown way out of proportion.

Guys, if you are a Zionist... If you have liked my content about supporting Israel... If you think I have ANY game at all when it comes to Israel debate... Go follow @DrMichaelLBrown. I got a ton of what I know from this man. He deserves to be elevated. He's put in the work.

When I see a Catholic mass, it strikes me how different it is from the Orthodox Church. In most of our Orthodox Liturgy you only see the back of our priests. He ministering to God for us at the altar in the Holy of Holies.

If it wasn’t already obvious, it is now. Erika Kirk will take Turning Point to heights that even Charlie couldn’t imagine. That’s not a prediction. It’s a spoiler.

@JesseDornfeld @DrMichaelLBrown Scrolling up I don't see where you said "that Dr. Brown has no unconfessed public sin".

@LowStudies @DrMichaelLBrown LOL. When I said that Dr. Brown has no unconfessed public sin, that's exactly what I mean... Please go bother someone else.

I’m at a loss here. It’s ….. wrong for them to keep wheeling her out there

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!" Amen, Erika. Amen

@RealZachStone1 @TPUSA @MrsErikaKirk

This is the face of a strong, yet grieving widow. With tears rolling down her face, she still chooses to get up on stage at the Student Leadership Summit and fight for America! That is honorable Mrs. Ericka Kirk. @TPUSA @MrsErikaKirk

God bless Erika for doing this after that week in court

🚨 MY HUSBAND BUILT THIS MACHINE AND I WATCHED HIM DO IT.

@JoelWBerry You are both horrible people.

Patriot Front leader praises Corey Mahler, who venerates Hitler, calls black people subhuman, calls for executing people in interracial marriage, and says the Christians in the concentration camps "deserved worse." As more of these creeps are unmasked, we'll find many of them attend @JoelWebbon's, @Brian_Sauve's, and @spanglermt's churches.

Ayatollah got replaced by the Ayatollah.

He was right.

What Erika Kirk just did is nothing short of supernatural. Walking out onto that stage to command a leadership summit after surviving the most brutal, soul-crushing five days of her entire life? That isn’t just grit—that is an absolute masterclass in unshakeable power. Contrast that with Candace, who couldn’t even stand the heat long enough to show up. She literally fled the country, running straight into the arms of her fourth luxury vacation in six months. Some people are built for the fight, and others are just built for the resort.

@Fair_and_Biased @MrsErikaKirk

I’ve never seen a person so relentlessly slandered yet so unconcerned with returning the insults as @MrsErikaKirk.

When Erika was asked if she still wanted to come to the Chapter Leadership Summit in DC after the hell she lived through in Utah, dropped this amazing line: “I’d much rather the country look like this room than the inside of that courtroom.”

@KristanHawkins @MrsErikaKirk

.@MrsErikaKirk is the strongest woman I know.

@JesseDornfeld @DrMichaelLBrown It's right out of the report. You defend that???

@LowStudies @DrMichaelLBrown Your point being... what?

@JamesEwen0407 Any actual evidence they did?

@LowStudies How do you know those Men just didn't make up stuff?

Protestants quote the arguments from other Protestants without reading the Church Fathers for themselves.

@JesseDornfeld @DrMichaelLBrown

@LowStudies @DrMichaelLBrown You act like you are just finding out about this whole thing now. I knew about it originally when it was all happening and I was following it closely. Not only that, but I have somewhat firsthand experience of what Dr. Brown is like. I've called into his radio show many times.

@realhonestash "Every sleepless night..." Charlie was on the road away from home over 300 days a year.

Cult leaders be culting. Erika maybe: Me, me, me, world view, France, weird analogy that makes no sense, trust in me kids! Charlie: Let’s debate. This crap can only work on minds that haven’t fully developed yet.

@SlowToWrite We're not supposed to try to be foolish, though.

Dale Partridge suggests that because I am Ghanaian, I have a low IQ. That's fine. If this "pastor" read his Bible, he would know that isn't an insult to believers. "But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise." - 1 Corinthians 1:27
