@HiddenYorkshire The point of it being torn was to show that there was nothing in the holy of holies
English

When Jesus died on the cross, the Temple curtain dividing the people from the presence of God was torn down, which is why we've erected a massive rood screen to separate the great unwashed from the presence of God because they don't deserve it. Make it make sense.

@HiddenYorkshire The temple curtain wasn’t even in the public, only priests were in there and only the high priest could go into the holy of holies. If the temple curtain being torn meant no more priesthood, what a bad take. Why would god tear a curtain that the masses didn’t even see???

@OrthodoxEthos Toll house of standing in the wrong spot

FYI to all concerned:
The tradition is men on one side and women on the other. (And not only, but in some places it is also according to age.) This is how it is in the old world in many places and has been so for many, many, many generations.
In fact, this is presupposed in such ancient practices (still practiced by the clergy) as the kiss of peace.
Obviously, the church would not have women and men exchanging the kiss of peace in the liturgy. It would be disorderly and possibly provoking scandal or misunderstanding.
But, moreover, it is a good pastoral practice today, as we live in age of an attack on hierarchy and patriarchy and we should cultivate in the youth respect for the older generation and especially older men in the community. And, it is good for young people to to learn patience, to give deference and respect to their elders.

@compellingtalks @greg_price11 They are wielding power, the GOP is too frightened to govern most of the time that’s why they are content to be beautiful losers

@greg_price11 What the hell has happened to #Virginia #Democrats? Have they lost all sense of decency and fairness in their pursuit of political power?
Is this what happens when Democrats worship power and demonize their opponents? Isn’t this extreme #gerrymandering seem more #DSA than #DNC?

@LizzieMarbach The bible isn’t Christianity’s Quran. As the Ethiopian, we need the pillar of truth to guide us with it, otherwise look at all the heresies that pop up.

@joanfromdc Run a black person for GOP governor candidate and you will lose. Did anyone not see the Virginia election?

There’s probably no better description of the modern day Democratic Party than the fact that a Bangladeshi migrant moved to the US, acquired citizenship, got elected in Northern Virginia, and now wants to strip gun rights away from Virginians who can trace their family back to the Revolutionary War.

New: @SalimVASenate's assault weapons ban bill includes a pretty big change compared to previous versions. It would make it illegal to sell all assault weapons in Virginia. Previous versions banned the sale of only new assault weapons, manufactured after a certain date.

Evangelicals outperform Mainline Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox in evangelism, social conservatism, and spiritual fruit
But this is not BECAUSE of their cringe worship style, lack of tradition, or libertarian church structure
It's because of their dedication to teaching people the Bible and telling them to obey it. All other Christians should take notes

Yahweh's transition from a minor Hebrew storm and war god, operating beneath a divine council of Elohim headed by his father El-Elyon, into a cosmic divinity worshipped by billions of people is perhaps THE most remarkable tale in history. It is also actively ignored by billions.

@WallStreetApes @ConservativeEve These are Ethiopian Christians.
They are Christian along before the Western Europeans.
Maybe you ought to learn a little bit more about what you’re posting before you hit the button?

@MarkElliottSmi1 If the bishop says no kneeling then don’t kneel. The east doesn’t kneel when receiving. Makes more sense to stand on sundays anyways. Council of Trullo banned it, why is it such a big deal

This ban is causing real spiritual pain to many of the faithful in Charlotte. I pray fervently that Rome takes whatever action is necessary to restore peace and justice to the Diocese.
