@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC My friend you haven’t established any way to make statements like this. Where do we go to identify if God is perfect or not? You haven’t provided any reason for one to believe this statement.

You cannot have God for your Father who has not the Church for his Mother.
Outside the Church there is no salvation.
St. Cyprian of Carthage (251 AD)
English
@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC Where do I go to see that? Do you not see this circular argument you are bringing? Why would a perfect God need to rely on unperfect illogical reasoning? Or would you just have an unperfect knowledge?

@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC You have done this test personally?
Before you have access to Scripture how do you know any of these 5 statements. How do I know they are true?
English
@OrthodoxGabriel @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC Great question. Just put the books through this test:
1. God is perfect, therefore:
2. God doesn’t make mistakes &
3. God doesn’t contradict himself
4. God is same as yesterday, today, forever
5. God authored Bible with his 40+ scribes
Only 66 books pass this test.

@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC Jesus gave the world His Church, you are not a member of His Church.
What I’m asking you is simple if I have you a book how do you determine if it is part of Scripture or not? I’m saying you have no way of doing this.
English
@OrthodoxGabriel @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC Ah so you claim Gods Bible is your Bible. You take all His glory away.
I wish you the best trying to explain that one to Him on judgement day.
English
@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC How can you verify the authenticity of any of those books, how do you know there are no others. Do you know the history of the Bible and the challenges with establishing the canon?
English
@Michael26433267 @OrthodoxGabriel @McBrideLawNYC Nope. God is the author with 40+ scribes. Jews are the keepers of the Torah & the Tanakh aka Old Testament, and the 66 books were guided by the Holy Spirit.
The church no more gave us the Bible than the printers who printed it.
Here’s my questions again

@Michael26433267 @OrthodoxGabriel @McBrideLawNYC “Mother of God” is an unbiblical title invented centuries later. Scripture calls her the mother of Jesus, never “Mother of God.” One God, one Mediator: Christ Jesus 1 Timothy 2:5. My question: Are you an adopted child of God? Is God you Father?
English
@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC I follow the Tradition of Christ’s Church as St. Paul instructs us to do (2 Thessalonians 2:15).
However you have no claim to any of the Scriptures. You cannot defend your canon. So you do not have the Bible
English
@OrthodoxGabriel @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC No problem. I'd love to. Right after you get rid of all your manmade traditions that contradict the Word of God.
English
@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC I have not said that, you merely have changed the conversation multiple times without answering the question.
Do you not understand the question?
English
@OrthodoxGabriel @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC Are you saying you are not a child of God and God is not your Father?
It's ok if you aren't. There are many non-believers in the world. But I'd like to introduce you to Christ.

@Michael26433267 @OrthodoxGabriel @McBrideLawNYC She bore Jesus in the flesh.
So you are saying God the Father is not your Father? And you are not an adopted child of God?
Can I share with you a story about a man named Jesus?
English
@Michael26433267 @ShawnOnMission @McBrideLawNYC I hope for all to join Christ’s Holy Orthodox Church. Just his behavior is super weird and strange. Makes me feel uncomfortable, do you feel that too?
English
@OrthodoxGabriel @ShawnOnMission @McBrideLawNYC I believe so. But I pray he will one day join Christs on holy Orthodox Church
English
@concernedAIguy @LonghornJoker How would you define an intellectual task?
English
@OrthodoxGabriel @LonghornJoker Just imagine a computer that can do any intellectual task better than humans!
English
For those who care:
I defended my doctoral prospectus over Lent, so I am now a doctoral candidate.
Moving on.

@ShawnOnMission @OrthodoxGabriel @McBrideLawNYC Mary the Holy Theotokos is the Mother of God. Simple yes or no

@KingMic92357513 When I first inquired into Orthodoxy during a monastery visit the first icon that was explained to me was of Fr. Seraphim Rose. He is a glorious Saint!
English
@ShawnOnMission @Michael26433267 @McBrideLawNYC My friend, do you truly not see the logical jumps and nonsense you are speaking right now? Why are you avoiding such a simple question, does some power prevent you from answering?
English
@Michael26433267 @OrthodoxGabriel @McBrideLawNYC She bore Jesus in the flesh.
Is God the Father your Father? Are you an adopted child of God?
English
@concernedAIguy @LonghornJoker I’m also a PhD student, I’m not so sure how AGI/ASI (haven’t heard ASI before) is gonna kill intellectual work. What’s your research area?
English
@LonghornJoker Fellow PhD student here. How are you getting by knowing AGI/ASI is near and intent on rendering all intellectual work useless?

@noetic_healing I’m not speaking of the Jews, merely the war criminal genociders. For it is right to spill this disgusting blood.
Those who live by the sword shall die by it. The agents of genocide will see themselves exterminated.
English
@OrthodoxGabriel Neither is anyone else. The Jews are not some special sort of sinful.
English
More people need to understand this.
Anyone who demonizes a whole people
Group is serving the evil one.
The world is nuanced. What you are seeing in the global Jewish hatred is the preparation for the coming of Antichrist but by you being the one doing the hating you are serving the evil one…..
Not Jesus
Voice of Rabbis@voiceofrabbis
let’s be clear: - No Jew owes allegiance to Israel over their own country - Judaism is a faith not a political loyalty contract - Israel does NOT represent all Jews Saying every Jew must prioritize Israel over their own nation? That’s not just wrong. It’s dangerous. And yes, pushing that idea can itself fuel antisemitism. Faith is not nationalism. Judaism is not owned by any state. - Rabbi Yakoov shapiro
