The bond market has officially entered its first bear market in 76 years, as of today. Yet, bonds still remain in a hyper-bubble. This will be the largest global de-leveraging event in history. Here's what to expect: 👇

@RWApodcast @grok what is capeshit

@realpeteyb123 No, I follow you but don’t know much about you, that’s all

@stonkboy_eth I don’t know, you follow me, and just replied on a Greek Orthodox speaking post. What road you about to take here, mock me?

I am looking into the St. Demetrios in Astoria / Archbishop Elpidophoros situation that has arisen. Getting more info… I was born and raised in that church. I’m gonna go scorched earth on the perverts that have taken over our church. I’ve been watching closely.

@MatthewPFirth God bless 🙏

@stonkboy_eth The global Church was founded by Christ. I’m already home, thanks.

Jesus wasn’t afraid to break conventions, so it is highly significant that he only chose men to lead his Church. A bishop is to be a Father in God, pro-life, and pro-biblical marriage. Since 10am I have received two messages from priests seeking a new Anglican home. Welcome!

@TradEngland @Orthofox312 My advice, or what helped me, if you’re discerning other churches would be to attend Divine Liturgies in an Orthodox Church for 2 months. That’s just 8 Divine Liturgies. If by the end you don’t feel somewhat softened toward these things, no big deal. What do you have to lose?

@TradEngland @Orthofox312 There are no anathemas toward a catechumen or inquirer because that would be your period to discern the church, usually a year or so. Anathemas apply to baptized orthodox christians. I totally understand your reluctance, it was difficult for me as well.

With the Church of England appointing its first woman Archbishop of Canterbury, I have to ask: what should faithful Anglicans do? As a proud Englishman and Anglican, I will never become Roman Catholic, and Eastern Orthodoxy feels foreign, though it is at least closer than Rome. My heart is with the English Church. So the question is this: do we remain within Forward in Faith / Society of St Wilfrid and St Hilda parishes, standing against the communist takeover of our national church from within? Or are there other paths that stay true to the Word of God without compromise? How do we remain faithful while our leaders abandon Scripture for the spirit of the age?

@TradEngland @Orthofox312 Do you believe there are any mandatory dogmas or aspects of worship?

@stonkboy_eth @Orthofox312 I know no one will physically force me. They wouldn't be able to 😂 but if it's mandatory then it's something I can't accept on principle.

@TradEngland @Orthofox312 This is true. One can only be anathematized by the Orthodox Church is you’re an Orthodox Christian. If one is a baptized orthodox that refuses to venerate icons that is grounds for an anathema. But as a discerner, and even catechumen, there is flexibility.

@stonkboy_eth @Orthofox312 The 7th Ecumenical Council (787) declared that icons must be venerated and anathematized those who refuse. For an Orthodox Christian, refusing to venerate icons is not optional - it’s rejecting a core teaching of the Church.

@TradEngland @Orthofox312 I didn’t mean physically. It’s something expected but not required.

@TradEngland For those looking into orthodoxy but see icons as a stumbling block, I highly recommend @Alex_Ortodoxie’s new video. If it doesn’t change your mind, it will at least get you comfortable enough to step foot into a Divine Liturgy youtu.be/NFgqLh14FlA?si…

@TradEngland @Orthofox312 I would recommend "On the Divine Images" by St John of Damascus if you haven't read it already and you're interested on this topic. Again, no one will *force* you to do anything during liturgy. The most important thing is for you to be there and experience the Divine Liturgy

@TradEngland @Orthofox312 growing up protestant, it was a gradual adjustment. But eventually I felt weird *not* doing it because it felt like I was denying the incarnation of God by rejecting images since He chose to reveal himself as an image (or "ikon") of the Father.

@DrCalumMiller become orthodox

BREAKING: New Archbishop of Canterbury supports abortion "I would suspect that I would describe my approach to this issue as pro choice rather than pro live [sic]" Sarah Mullally The Church of England has lost all moral credibility. It is over.

@C2Antiquity Best edit I’ve seen in a few days: instagram.com/reel/DPKqB__jM…

My feed needs more Orthodox edits. What are some good accounts to follow?

@LostMyHats The first university was in Constantinople, the ancient center of Holy Orthodoxy...

The blunt truth is that Orthodoxy can’t save Western civilization because it isn’t Western civilization. When Europe was wrestling through Magna Carta, Renaissance humanism, the printing press, and the Reformation, the East was locked in imperial courts and Turkish tax ledgers. The civilizational DNA is simply different. And yet, thousands of disenchanted men in America are falling for it. Why? Because the East has good aesthetics. That’s it. Beards, candles, chanting, robes that look like they came from a fantasy novel. Orthodoxy feels exotic and demanding, and compared to James Martin smiling at drag queens or Tim Keller trying to be respectable at a cocktail party, it seems like raw authenticity. But that does not mean it is aligned with the values of the West. In fact, it never has been. Western civilization was built on a fusion of biblical truth with Greco-Roman rationalism and a persistent drive to hold power accountable. Orthodoxy never nurtured that mixture. That is why the Orthodox world never generated the institutions we now take for granted: constitutional limits on rulers, universities free to debate ideas, parliaments, or common law. The values people want to defend (personal liberty, rational inquiry and all the other listed above) were Western achievements. Orthodoxy at best tolerated them when imported from outside, but it never birthed them." Read more at Insight to Incite. Link in bio. Audio version available

@C2Antiquity The Orthodox Church, Timothy Ware

Let’s make a book recommendation thread. What books would you recommend for people wanting to learn about the Orthodox faith?

@C2Antiquity “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.” Matt 5:11

Pray for me

@orthodoxluigi I’ve noticed his warmth towards the Theotokos and sacraments as of late. Glory to God

Top Protestant apologist, Cleave to Antiquity, is converting to Orthodoxy. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY can stop what’s coming. Glory to God☦️
