@apophatic_ @Fearless__Truth Then what would even be the difference between orthodoxy and roman Catholicism

The Palamite Synods clearly teach that the manifestation of the divine energies within creation are created effects of the uncreated energy. It is evident that anybody claiming otherwise has not read Dr. Tikhon Pino's book. @Fearless__Truth

@ArchangeloRom @geoffstermx More like 99%+ this doesnt exist outside of Twitter or discord

@geoffstermx Reduce, as 90%+ of the Orthodox agree here, its minority of their own and some Catholics pushing nonsense and incomplete terms.

The whole debate about PSA (penal substitutionary atonement) first of all highlights the need to be specific and clear with your language. The Patristics employed scholastic terminology such as “consubstantial” and “essence” in order to be very exacting in their formulations. It is anti-Patristic when people use terms purposely in an antiquated sense to get a rise out of people or scandalize them. In that case you’re not trying to be clear about the atonement. There is a sense in which a Patristic form PSA is true. Christ did suffer the punishment we deserve, which is suffering and death as children of Adam. Christ did die in our place, in the sense that He underwent a horrible death He didn’t deserve so that He could make satisfaction for our sins. Christ did experience the wrath of God, in the specific sense that man experiences the consequences of the fall as “wrath” for sin, and Christ experienced these consequences voluntarily. But Christ did not receive any sin into Himself. Sin did not go from the Elect or mankind into Jesus. Jesus “took” our sin in the specific sense of having taken away its imputation to us and its penalties. It went nowhere. It was forgiven. The Father did not have to punish someone in order to forgive sin. The point is Christ’s blood makes satisfaction for it, not that someone else needed to be inflicted with the “prison sentence” we are owed. This would be an injustice. If you kill an innocent man in place of a murderer, no justice has been done, but you have become a murderer as well. Naturally, God the Father cannot be a murderer. Christ’s death on the cross was the most perfect manner of making satisfaction, showing God’s love for us, and also being the means by which suffering and death was assumed so it could be transfigured. Now for us death is victory, and suffering can be salvific. So there’s a particular reason Christ made satisfaction this way. Christ never suffered the full penalties you are owed though. You are owed a permanent fixation in evil, and permanent alienation from God. This is not something a member of the Trinity can do. God cannot be evil, let alone be permanently fixed in it. God cannot be separated from God. Christs humanity can never be separated from the divine nature, neither His soul nor body. Even His corpse was united to the divine nature, as St. John Damascene makes clear. The incarnation didn’t “pause.” Our interest should always be in getting to a clear articulation of the faith, like the Fathers attempted.

@benquivenit Happy feast day

O all-blessed father Benedict, thou didst desire nought on earth besides the love of Christ; wherefore, having made thine abode in the mansions on high, thou standest now with boldness before God. Pray thou that, soaring aloft in love, with thee we also may chant: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

@Gedeon_Optinius @ScriptoriumP Wonder why he was only canonized in 1990 by Syriacs

@ScriptoriumP St. Thomas of Cana*

I have looked into this claim in depth in the past and it's not true. In the earliest lives of the Buddha, the "Four Sights" (the only real resemblance between him and the life of St. Ioasaph) are not even attributed to Siddharta, but to another sage called Buddha Vipassi. This was probably a very common hagiographic motif present throughout the Orient. Additionally, the earliest life of the Buddha was only written some 600 years after his death, so it is less than trustworthy. Secondly, the claim that the earliest version (Arabic) of the Life of St Ioasaph is a translation of a Persian version of the Buddha's Life (the Ayadgar-i Vuzurgmihr) holds no water. The two texts could not be more different, and the Arabic contains the parable of the sower, so its source was obviously Christian. There is nothing preposterous in there having been an Indian prince of the Malabar coast who converted to Christianity and became a monk. The trade routes between the Persian Gulf and southern India were extremely active. We have even found Roman coins in southern India and Ceylon.

@Gedeon_Optinius @Gaelic_Patrick How was he racist?

@d833320 Will you support me on Patreon either way so I can afford to continue making more material like this?

With the series on Nestorianism coming to a close soon, I'm resuming the series responding to Ybarra's book while also continuing the catechism series. This is the second video in Jan. - "The Mission to the Mongols" & this - plus the Greek, Latin, & Syriac weekly study groups.

@replacement88 @HosannaHosannaa @ElijahElishaRap Same thing that origenists claim to defend him

Whoever mentions Honorius in an attempt to refute the Papacy has no idea what the Papacy is.

@Jeem196 Just to throw an interception right after smh

that was the greatest few seconds of football I've ever seen. 17-10... 12 seconds left on the clock, QB throws from 45yrds, touchdown, game is tied. unbelievable

@FrMatthewLC @Basedtzarist @BreeSolstad Thank you fr for being charitable from an orthodox

@Basedtzarist @BreeSolstad But simply attending a GoArch theological school does not mean they approve her ideas like this either.

What in tarnation is happening in Eastern Orthodoxy?

@PaschaPress It looks like a stunt the doors are closed and curtains are down this wasn't during an actual service but still needs to be reported to a bishop

Another banger from the Progressive Orthodox world....apparently when daddy's a priest you can play deaconess and plan "sparkly vestments" outfits to wear. Even ROCOR isn't immune to the rot of modernity 🤮😧😭 I have no words for the depth of depression I feel rn 😪

@StNickRespecter @stephenikuomola @pedanitic @friendofGod325 Constantiple 879 palqmite synods Jerusalem 1672 constantiple 1872 and 1848

@d833320 @stephenikuomola @pedanitic @friendofGod325 What are they? Is Jerusalem?

PROOF THAT ORTHODOXY IS TRUE: NO ECUMENICAL COUNCILS IN 1,000 YEARS AND ITS A LOOSE BAND OF EASTERN EUROPEAN NATIONAL CHURCHES. BOOM! Take that, CATHOLICK church

@stephenikuomola @pedanitic @Talonthepapist @StunProdStud @_xor271 Thats just an assertion no concil was called ecumenical due to the pope I saw you live in Nigeria so you have a diff timezone im gonna have to for now stop this convo thank you and God bless

Now I’m confused, OrthodoxKyle claims that “He [Mark of Ephesus] was the only Eastern Bishop to refuse to sign on the decrees of the council of Florence” But then he claims the next second that it’s a robber council. How? If all the western and eastern bishops signed the decree of Florence, then it’s an ecumenical council! Who cares if 1 bishop doesn’t sign the decree? Orthodox Kyle just admitted it’s an ecumenical council according to his world view but contradicts himself by saying it’s a robber council.

@stephenikuomola @pedanitic @Talonthepapist @StunProdStud @_xor271 ???
