@JimJatras @Outlaw_Estel @IkosFriendly @rontonianzoomer @OrthodoxReflec1 @RustyGremlin @donaldbrad18781 @OrthodoxHistory @ryanburge The need for ROCOR is manifest, and grows more clear every day.

We've all heard about the convert surge, but as @ryanburge shows in these two tweets, Orthodox Christians in America (a) are younger than almost every religious group, and (b) have more children per family. This combination means that, APART FROM the convert surge, we can expect Orthodoxy in America to grow as younger populations replace older ones.

@TheNous_3 putin listens to voices in his head. and only them. that's the problem

Do people realize that even Putin doesn't listen to Dugin?

@Michaeldudufudu but your account has nothing christian abou it

I started putting "follow for Christianity and memes" after posts that do well because i made a post that got 130k likes and i gained zero followers off of it so i decided "never again" these dumb goycattle have to be TOLD to follow me

@KingMic92357513 he wrote an article saying the 'karlovtsians' are heretic nazi cia freemason schismatics

I have no idra what he says. I don't think slandering any particular jurisdiction is either helpful or good. I have this thing called the sermon so I can happily disagree with an opinion that he has. He's also not some infallible perfect person because he's a modern Hieromartyr either. I'm not of Father Daniel. Lol. I just think it's best to actually get things in physical copies of what people say. By the way I'm not accusing you of having no discernment or anything like that. I was just saying for me, myself, that I have discernment on these matters, that is all. There is no accusation or anything like that in what I was saying.

Purchased the whole series of 12 books How to Inherit Eternal Life by Hieromartyr Fr. Daniel Syseov. I'm pretty excited as Ill be getting them soon.

@blessedmikko he fell under anathema for so many reasons like he plays heretic bingo or something

Might have to tell His Grace when I next receive his blessing that our patriarch falls under the cross-jurisdictional & automatic e-anathema of the venerable, pious & humble Freelancer Dyer & Deacon Ananias. ‘...God sends His Son into the world—that He, being sinless, by the Sacrifice offered to God, by the Sacrifice of Golgotha, might redeem human sins and deliver men from the guilt for Adam’s sin and of all other sins (избавить от вины за грех Адама и все другие грехи).’ –Pat. Kirill (Gundyaev), Sermon on the 1ˢᵗ Day of Lent (2009) ‘Through the exploit of the whole life of Christ the Saviour, and most especially through His sufferings, death, and most glorious Resurrection, the Lord forgives the whole human race [for] the sin of Adam (прощает всему роду человеческому грех Адама), granting to men His grace, His power.’ –Pat. Kirill (Gundyaev), Sermon on Theophany (2011) ‘Through His suffering He took away from us the guilt for original sin (Страданием Своим Он снял с нас вину за первородный грех), although the human nature corrupted by sin did not thereby change.’ –Pat. Kirill (Gundyaev), Sermon during the Week of the Exaltation of the Life-Giving Cross (2011) ‘We know that by His Blood the Saviour atoned for that very original sin and removed from us the guilt for that sin (что Своей Кровью Спаситель искупил тот самый первородный грех, снял с нас вину за этот грех). None of us, when standing before the face of God, will answer for the sin of Adam and Eve (Никто из нас, представ пред лицом Божиим, не будет отвечать за грех Адама и Евы). We shall answer for our own sins, because for that sin, and for the subsequent sins of the human race, the Son of God answered before God, before Divine Justice, bearing that terrible execution and atoned for that very sin by His Blood (пред Божественной справедливостью, понеся страшную казнь и искупив тот самый грех Своею Кровью). And He came to save sinners from their own sins.’ –Pat. Kirill (Gundyaev), Sermon on the 35ᵗʰ Sunday after Pentecost (2013) Important Russian phrases we see used here by the patriarch, & their meaning: первородный грех = Original sin вины = guilt вины за = guilt for/of (context-dependent) грех Адам(а) = Adam’s sin/sin of Adam Божественной справедливостью = Divine Justice искупив = atoned прощает = forgives снял с нас = removes from/took it of us казнь = execution/capital punishment

@Orthodox_Alfred @KingMic92357513 did he? can you share something that proves that? he had hated rocor with passion just a few years before. I can assume after rocor submitted to moscow his opinion could have changed but he wrote about them really nasty things so can you prove that?

@pudlasz @KingMic92357513 Changed his tune after 2007

@Dusan_Bara @AnaniasFather @AngloVarangian none of them russian

@AnaniasFather @AngloVarangian By the Grace of God ☦️🫡 I’m much too retarded to get into the weeds of it; I just depend on Him 😂 perhaps as I keep reading and studying, God willing

I'm tired bros. I'm tired of Orthodox faction wars. I'm tired of the Dyerite vs. Latinizer Romanidesan vs. Latinizer Dyerite vs. Romanidesan Pro-Greek vs. Pro-Russian Ukrainian/Georgian vs. Russian I'm so tired of all of it. I've been caught up in constant infighting since 2020. I don't care whose right or wrong anymore. I just want it to stop. When will it stop? O Lord, please make it stop. 🙏☦️❤️

@YoungPenitent when you are not a horse you shouldn't follow books about feeding horses, when you are not a monk you shouldn't follow books how to feed monks. that's pretty simple

I lost a lot of followers for saying fasting means no food or drink. People who think eating is fasting thought I was contradicting what the Church teaches. When you read 'strict fast' in the Typicon it denotes an absolute fast. Go ahead, unfollow me for saying it.

@AngloVarangian call it bs

@TheNous_3 @AngloVarangian you are not free yourself

@AngloVarangian Once you realize this, you're free. Don't worry why it's happening. Just go to a canonical parish and be normal. Do what everyone else does. None of us are special. None of us have it "figured out."

@YoungPenitent all that bullshit that didn't happen anyway most likely and no monastery

At a period of time when I was preparing myself to enter a monastery, I wanted to eat a vegetarian diet according to monastic tradition. My priest forbade it because he didn’t want me doing self-directed asceticism. My workaround was to do it secretly…1/2 🧵

@daily_romania so you think people outside romania can tell a difference?

In Romania, a subversive anti-gypsy discrimination ad of the police backfired tremendously 99% of comments told them to f*ck off and called for the deportation of gypsies to India

@dirtyfiends @ClwnPrncCharlie @elonmusk @JessePeltan oh.

@ClwnPrncCharlie @elonmusk @JessePeltan It's worse. He's 20 years old

My son, Saxon, is so based that he would just order milk when we went to dinner in LA. This would always stun the waitstaff, as they had never heard anyone actually order milk! He also unironically ordered a cheeseburger at a very uptight sushi restaurant that doesn’t even allow you to order supplemental soy sauce. When the waiter recovered from this request to reply that they don’t have cheeseburgers, Saxon said “Fine, I will have a hamburger.”

@elonmusk @JessePeltan that's what happens when children have absent parents

@OrthodoxPole81 tucker bought groceries for the first time in his life last year. you are giving him too much credit

Whenever Tucker Carlson asks someone, "What does that mean?", it's a Socratic device designed to elicit a response to more clearly define terms. It's not feigned ignorance. The problem is that many Americans and Europeans today aren't educated in rhetoric and logic today. Classical Education, the Trivium and Quadrivium, were at one point, more normative in education on both sides of the Atlantic. Carlson's query is something that would have been more recognizable in the 19th Century.

@classichusband he was related to syria how?

But now we have a bin Ladin head chopper in charge isn’t it so much better??

@fistofnicaea @blessedmikko they hugged putler

@blessedmikko Whichever side the OCA is on is the right side. If it’s opposed to the OCA then you are a heretic.

The reality, in summary, is that in the late nineteenth century a small but notable group of liberal academics within the seminaries of the Russian Empire began protesting the long-established systematic theology of the Church as it had existed for roughly a century up to that point, beginning with St. Peter Mogila and finding especially clear expression in the corpora of St. Philaret Drozdov, St. Theophan, and Met. Macarius Bulgakov of blessed memory. That tradition demonstrably taught what, in the English-speaking and Protestant world, is recognized—whether rightly or pejoratively—as “penal substitution,” “satisfactory atonement,” and “inherited guilt.” In the years leading up to the Russian Revolution, this liberal current in Russian theology found expression, to a lesser extent, in the essays of Patriarch Sergius and St. Hilarion Troitsky. Most notable of all, however, is Met. Anthony Khrapovitsky’s essay, in which he argues against what he calls the “juridical theory of Redemption,” a label he polemically applied to what had in fact been the received teaching of the Russian Orthodox Church up to that time, while arguing that much of it had been inherited from medieval Catholicism. In its place, he proposes an alternative that he calls the “moral theory of Redemption,” a position most akin to the conception of Christ first associated with Peter Abelard in opposition to Anselm, though with the distinctive twist that the atonement for our sins occurred not through Golgotha, but through Christ’s sorrows in Gethsemane. With the upheavals surrounding the Revolution, many of these academics either left or were driven into exile, settling in Paris and establishing the St. Sergius Theological Institute, colloquially known as the “Paris School.” The later theologians of this school—the “Parisians,” such as Meyendorff, Florovsky, and Schmemann—began writing about an alleged captivity of theology as a whole to Catholicism, rather than focusing only on atonement and salvation, as had chiefly been the case before. They did not all fully agree with Khrapovitsky, and often criticized him, but they nevertheless began from that same notion of a “Latin captivity” as a basis for developing their own refined accounts of Redemption, often generalized as the “organic theory,” or “organic theories,” of Redemption. This position stands somewhat closer to the universal pre-revolutionary Russian tradition, but still at times departs from it semantically, and in some instances, admittedly, from the essence of the patristic teaching of the Church. Even so, to this day Khrapovitsky and his liberal associates, together with the Parisians who departed still further from the traditional teaching of the Russian Church, have exercised enormous influence in the Anglophone Orthodox world through their hold on the OCA and much of ROCOR. Their ideas have also become highly influential in Greek and diaspora seminaries through figures such as Priest Romanides and Met. Zizioulas. This is why you are under the delusion that the Orthodox Church confesses what is, frankly, an anti-Christianity. This is what is dominant here. In Russia herself, however, and in the Orthodox Churches of their historic homelands—representing the overwhelming majority of global Orthodoxy—there remains significant resistance to this liberalism, even if some theologians and clergy have adopted parts of their (errant) critiques against Catholics & Reformed. The dominant instinct is still generally more aligned with, if not in complete agreement with, the theology of the pre-revolutionary Russian systems. While certain criticisms raised by the proponents of the “organic” and “moral” theories have been noted and, at times, conceded in regard to historical emphasis, there has not been anything like a universal or uncontested embrace of their positions in full. What we call “satisfaction of justice” & “penal substitution” are understood as pieces in the wider puzzle there.

@Michaeldudufudu No one is triggered outside America. Because because being stupid is an American thing

Why are atheists so triggered over BC and AD ?

@thaddeusthought True

I'VE BECOME SO DUMB
