If you or your children were baptized in the Orthodox Church, did it cost money? Please share around.

@JPuncut @Alex_Ortodoxie Your incoherent argument falls apart if Jay actually believes Logic is a grifter.
English
Here we have the @Alex_Ortodoxie dilemma
1. If Jay Dyer called Logic a grifter he lied
2. If Logic IS a grifter then Jay Dyer supported a grifter by retweeting his donation link
3. Logic is not a Grifter. If he is Dyer supported a grifter, if he's not then Dyer initially lied.

@clvn_wcf @TexasPreacher So bowing before a king is honor but bowing before an icon can only be worship? The icon can’t be honored? Only worshipped? Does the will play a role? What if the intention of my heart is honor to the saint depicted? Not worship?
English
@_noinnovation @TexasPreacher I would distinguish between civil honour and religious worship. The problem is that what is often called veneration is no different to worship.

EO starting to show its cracks. The fact that they kiss pieces of painted wood was enough for me.

Protestants are making a nothingburger out of a minimal fee many Greek Churches have because baptisms are usually large celebrations, not empty “symbols.” This covers baptismal robe, candles, perhaps icons, and the celebration feast after. Many churches simply ask for a donation. This is nothing, btw, compared to most fundie churches which demand 10% tithe whereas most orthodox churches leave it all voluntary. This is just more ignorant moral gotchas because they have no intellectual arguments for their sects.

@Alex_Ortodoxie Is Ryan Free Grace? What flavor of prot-slop does he represent?
English
Ryan: “don’t trust obedience”
St Paul: God will “repay to each according to his works… to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and anger.” Rom 2:5-8.
DIRECT CONTRADICTION!

Eastern Orthodox folks, know that there is salvation available to you, if you put your trust only in what Christ did on the cross to save, and not your obedience at all. Your and my obedience will never be adequate, but Christ's is!
English
@clvn_wcf @TexasPreacher Do you make a distinction between veneration and worship? For example, in the honor paid to Royalty, bowing and kissing would not be out of place.

PSA to Catechumen and Inquirers to Orthodoxy:
- Stop listening to the NON-ORTHODOX about Orthodox positions, opinions, etc.,
- Get of X/Twitter.
- Go talk to your Priest.
- Go talk to people at your parish.
- Go read the Bible.
- Go read the LIVES of the saints.
- Learn the faith (what is and is not Orthodox)
STOP LISTENING TO ORIENTALS, UNIATES, CATHOLICS, PROTESTANTS, ETC.
English
@clvn_wcf @TexasPreacher You believe the veneration being done to the icons to be worship?
English
@_noinnovation @TexasPreacher Yes it could be motivated by disrespect. But it could also be a situation like Hezekiah and the brazen serpent.

Holy Orthodoxy has survived Roman imperial persecution, Islamic conquest, Latin occupation, iconoclasm and communist revolution.
Calling an insignificant group of sectarian grifters farting into a digital echo chamber an “attack on Orthodoxy” is an insult to our heritage.
English
@RealBenMichael The grifters are losing money. That all you can eat Prot-slop doesn’t taste good anymore when people are exposed to real food .
English
I just celebrated my third Pascha as a baptized Orthodox Christian, and I’ve been on this corner of the app for longer than that. I have never seen such united frequent attacks against the Orthodox Church as I have seen this week. Not saying I am some sort of seasoned expert, cuz I’m not. But it is curious, why now? You guys must really be bleeding converts to our Church.
English
@JPuncut Your flavor of Protestantism is low-tier slop that only appeals to the ignorant and unlearned.
English
@sparklingxnacho No. In fact my priest extended my catechumenate until my wife was convinced to become a catechumen as well. He wanted to baptize us and our son together.
English
orthodox converts: were u ever lied to during your catechism in order to convince you to become orthodox?
JP@JPuncut
The OrthoBro community is probably the most Dishonest community on the Internet. They will lie to recruit converts, like Muslims by any means necessary.

@JPuncut @JeromeChukwuwem SIIG won the debate because you basically ‘No True Scotsman’d’ him the whole time. You were pressing him for what would satisfy YOU as a win condition. You had no other argument besides, “I can interpret that differently.” SIIG then steelmanned your case and still refuted you.
English
When I went on @JeromeChukwuwem platform a couple days ago he said most people said HE WON the debate we had a year ago,
This is the most people he was talking about
Them: Hey Siiig cooked you
Me: Where?
Them: HE COOKED YOU THE WHOLE DEBATE

@clvn_wcf @TexasPreacher Do you believe such an action to be disrespectful to Mary?
English
@_noinnovation @TexasPreacher We worship God in the way he has instructed us to. He has not told us to worship him through icons.
No I wouldn’t do that to a picture of Mary because it would likely be interpreted by others as a sign of disrespect towards Mary.
English
@Skeuleos Exactly. “Free Grace” can have a different meaning depending on the context. The heretical idea that if you believe in Christ at a single point in your life you are saved for the rest of it is in fact a joke and rightly condemned.
English
@GeoffKlein3 It’s literally condemned by Paul. Free Grace is a license to sin. It’s satanic.
English
I'll take it one step further...Free Grace Theology is one of the worst distortions of the Gospel in modern Protestantism. It comforts people in their sin rather than calling them out of it.
