@DukeOfDumb1125 Thanks for trying to help, funny thing is I just recorded a run for WW yesterday and it got approved a few hours ago. Twitter isn't really the place to discuss these things (character limit). But the game has a discord with a dedicated speedrunning channel where we can talk more.

@TheEthanExpress I saw you have the WR for a lot of Rollin' Rascal levels aside from Wild Waste so I tried recording any new discoveries I could find from the level so I could suggest some ideas but it seems you already got to it lmao Here's the clip I recorded lol

@fool2theworld Otherwise what is the point of something being "binding" if you can just disagree with it? These are the things that kept me from other churches. Orthodoxy is the unbroken lineage faith and inerrent pillar of truth. If it is not those things then there is no church.

@fool2theworld Can't say I agree, the things he says do not go against the things I have been taught by my priest. But I have seen many who claim to be Orthodox yet still carry ideas that are not of it. The church is not something you are free to interpret endlessly, we aren't Protestants.

Chuds call stuff degenerate. Commies call stuff bourgeois. Is there a liberal word for “thing I don’t like”?

@BasedDavePA What pushed me from going back to RC as I was raised with it was when I found out what their church thought of Muslims and the Jews. Saying we worship the same God as the Muslims or that the Jews still have their old covenant. To me that's a clear sign of corruption.

Church Respecter 🇻🇦 ☦️
The reason why I'm at a crossroad with choosing between Catholicism and Orthodoxy comes down to this: Which side has the better historical connection to the Church Jesus founded in 33 AD? Which side is objectively closer to the early followers of Christ and what they believed.

> born in traditional Roman Catholic home in New England > entered seminary at 17 > became a reactionary liberal in response to institutionalized NOrmie conservative Catholicism > realized that progressive Catholicism was inextricably tied to banal liturgy and moral confusion > “Lex orandi, lex credendi”; re-embraced the TLM > realized I didn’t have to choose between Catholic social teaching and traditional liturgy, became trad > left seminary in 2016 to pursue academic path > became Orthodox inquirer after wrestling with questions of papal infallibility & jurisdiction, messy history of the Church > realized that in the early Church, papal primacy carried with it *actual* jurisdictional authority (not just “primacy of honor”) > realized that in the Eastern Orthodox world, there is no consensus as to what constitutes a valid baptism; some jurisdictions rebaptize Catholics, others just receive via Chrismation; realized that the concept of “economy” was used to mask major ecclesiological issues > realized that Eastern Orthodox teaching on contraception and divorce & remarriage was a capitulation to then-Imperial pressure and was less about the Gospel’s call to asceticism and theosis > realized the importance of being in communion with Rome as a mark of full catholicity > officially became Eastern Catholic (Melkite) > happily Catholic, irenic and warm to EOs and Protestants, praying they enter full communion with Christ’s Holy and Catholic Church

@HariSel57511397 It could be relevant if the down votes are public, I remember I think before Elon took over there was an experimental downvote added but it wasn't public so no one used it.

@KingOfSalt4 @John_Kngston Beating around the bush won't save you here. "Homo sapien" is not a set definition of a human evolutionarily speaking. So in order for theistic evolution to be correct, Jesus would've had to assume something that isn't fully human nature but at the same time is fully human.

@TheEthanExpress @John_Kngston "always in flux" technically, sure, but we have definitions for what it means be to a human in scientific terms. You want to get technical, then Jesus "became a Homo Sapien". 😐

@John_Kngston @KingOfSalt4 Furthering this, modern evolutionary models will actually admit there is no real speciation because organisms are always in flux. Meaning when Jesus became man, what was he actually assuming? An arbitrary point in human evolution? Or some sort of pure super human?

@KingOfSalt4 @TheEthanExpress In a old age scenario, when did men become men and then saved from death? Was there a "first man" and this was Adam when God recognized that they changed from Homo Erectus to Homo Sapien?

@KingOfSalt4 The Bible doesn't say you only need the bible for salvation either. If anything it says the opposite. That's why you need Holy Tradition, which was passed down from the Apostles. (attached is 2 Timothy 2:2)

@strikezcoal1 @GodFastMK2 @akazyeee I don't know how you can hold to the faith that killed Christ. To me that sounds like a walking contradiction. Let it go and come join the people of Israel.

@GodFastMK2 Dude, she can say what she fucking wants. "Oh no a female VTuber mentioned a MAN?!" I'd prefer if these girls settle down and get married even if it means they have to stop VTubing. If you have any other perspective, you're not looking out for the best interest of the girls.

@8sp3ct1_ @KingMic92357513 This is word concept fallacy, you do not have the authority to make decisions on fundamental Orthodox theology. PSA is not taught by the Orthodox church.

@Nicholai_Korea Yeah that's true I was thinking about if it would actually constitute as treason and I see it as a hard maybe, probably. He didn't account for how he knows the amount of defense systems or that the pictures were from that specific base.
