@BobMurphyEcon I wasn’t trying to be rude or difficult, I thought I said several times that yes I was taught what Jay was saying in the video. I guess the idea of being born again was never an ontological change in my church growing up. I get excited talking about this stuff, sorry.

@dragon_hendrix Holy cow I think it would have helped if you had originally said “yes your tweet is 100% correct Bob but let me say why the Protestants are fooling themselves…”

@BobMurphyEcon Right, I was taught the change of essence occurs during sanctification. Now my question for you is; is one Sanctified at the moment of Justification? Because if one isn’t then there is not a real ontological change within. When does the indwelling of the Holy Spirit take effect?

I'll say it one last time: I am not denying that Protestants believe we are justified because Christ's righteousness is imputed to us. But where Tucker's guest took that, namely to say Protestants think nobody changes in their essence, I think no Protestant believes; it's certainly not standard or anything I've ever heard preached.

@pureMetatron I get your criticisms of the approach, but look at what @PageauJonathan is saying about the movie. Nolan used the postmodern casting as a Trojan Horse to smuggle in the proper meaning and symbolism of The Odyssey. Pageau has restored my hope in this film after I was hopeless

@BobMurphyEcon I was taught that justification came from confessing your faith, and sanctification came from living a life in service of God’s will. This is why Justification and Sanctification don’t work. How can we be justified if we’re not truly righteous? Christ’s righteousness is imputed.

@dragon_hendrix Your church taught the the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit doesn’t change you? That when you’re born again it doesn’t change you? I’m not asking for your logical deduction of what “they were implying” I’m asking if those words ever would have come out of your pastor’s mouth.

@BobMurphyEcon How salvation in Orthodoxy is achieved from what I understand is through participation in the Divine life. Genuine participation genuinely changes you, though you will never be sinless. We are healed from our sin, and grow closer to God as he makes righteous through his energies

@BobMurphyEcon Now contrast this to the Orthodox view of healing, and eventually Theosis. When Christ assumes Human Nature, he gives it new life, and joins it in one person with his Divine Nature. The natures don’t merge of course, but that Hypostatic union makes salvation possible for mankind

Being mean vs putting people in prison? This is retarded, I’m not a trump supporter, but who has he actually thrown the book at like the dems? If there’s actually people then I will retract, but I’m pretty sure it’s just him being an asshole
Vlogging Through History@VTHistory25

Until they start calling out the President over some of the ways he's going after anyone who says something mean about him, I never want to hear Republicans complain about Democrats weaponizing the federal government against opponents again.

I don’t think this guy understands specifically Orthodox Christianity, though I would say his critiques are great against Protestantism
DC@zero_lessons

One chance ? One mic …. ? Christianity is parasitic on the universal human condition: our fear of death, our guilt over moral failure, our existential dread in an indifferent universe, and our desperate hunger for meaning, purpose, and cosmic justice. Those vulnerabilities pre-exist Christianity. Every human carries them. Christianity does not create the host, it latches onto it, exaggerates the diagnosis (“you are totally depraved and deserve eternal hell”), and then offers itself as the only cure. So what does it actually return to the host? It promises forgiveness, but only after convincing you that you are fundamentally broken in a way that requires lifelong submission to its authority. It promises moral order, but only by subordinating your reason to ancient texts, ecclesiastical tradition, and the claim that logic itself must bend when it conflicts with the narrative (exactly as my pinned statement demonstrates: if God knows the entire timeline perfectly and eternally, that timeline cannot be different, otherwise God’s knowledge is false or reality contradicts what He knows. Both are impossible under the law of non-contradiction. The “free will” and “personal relationship” it sells you are therefore illusions). It promises salvation and transformation, but only after you accept the very contradictions it creates and surrender intellectual honesty whenever the system is pressed. The net result is dependence, not freedom. It weaponizes fear and guilt, extracts time, money, emotional energy, and intellectual conformity, and leaves the host more anxious about eternity than before, unless you stay inside the system. That is classic parasitism: diagnose an exaggerated or invented disease, monopolize the cure, and make the host reliant on the parasite for relief. You, jimbob, are doing the exact same thing on a smaller scale. You beg for change on superchats on YouTube while producing “art” and content that mocks the very seriousness Orthodoxy demands. You dress, speak, and present yourself in ways that directly contradict the ascetic, disciplined life the Orthodox Church actually teaches. You are not abiding in Christ, you are leeching off the same Christian ecosystem you claim to critique, turning it into a personal grift for attention and donations while throwing around slurs like “retard face” when pressed for real argument. 🎤

@EthanWayne2001 He never claimed it was a model to be followed, it’s an example of a society rejecting sodomy, and he gave more examples from other cultures. He is making the point that as Christians, we should reject sodomy. We should reject the agenda that has made eros its reverent.

@dragon_hendrix Except some of the examples he pointed to as models are far more evil than what he is criticizing.

It’s interesting that Josiah Trenham condemned people who promote violence in the name of Christianity considering he has praised the killing of gay people in the name of opposing “homofascism.”

@EthanWayne2001 Yeah that was my point, when The Church was started, we Christians didn’t stone people. Anyway Father Josiah was making a wholistic argument that the entirety of religious history has a clear view of sodomy, which in that last 60 years has been radically reversed here in the US

@EthanWayne2001 No, stoning is something that as Christians we no longer do, because we pray for the repentance of those in sin. Father Josiah listed more than just what Mohammed ordered his lackeys to carry out, he gave examples from Judaism, the New Testament, and Buddhism.

@dragon_hendrix Our culture is more backwards than one that stones people to death for being gay?
