@JayLove2917 @jvlad20 the jews didnt have icons, repetative prayers and so on dude

@kosmogenesis @jvlad20 So when the Jews for all time including the apostles did liturgical worship they were Hindu? The brain is rotting

If the Apostles were walking among us today, would they worship in a Non-Denom Church or The Orthodox Church? Which way, Christian man?

@JMGreerWriter Peculiar to hear your opinion on Orthodox worship though

I’ve begun attending services at a little Episcopal church here in Silver Spring, since it makes a point of saying that all are welcome irrespective (in their words) “of where you are on your faith journey.” I mostly attend the Wednesday noon service, which is very quiet and reflective, just me and a dozen or so retirees participating in a service straight out of the Book of Common Prayer, but I’ve attended a couple of Sunday services (Palm Sunday and Easter), and in the process figured out why Christian services have always felt spiritually empty to me. It’s the music. The Wednesday services have no music at all; the Sunday services — well, there are the hymns everyone sings, and the hymns the choir sings, and a few instrumental pieces (which were actually quite nice), but all of it raised a wall between me and anything even remotely spiritual. Add the music, and it has all the sacredness of a high school sixth period assembly before a big football game, just with a different selection of fight songs. I’m still not sure what to make of this; maybe it’s my autism and I’m just a natural Trappist or something, but as I reflect on my past experiences, that was the most important thing that sent me looking for something churches didn’t provide. …and just off hand, I can’t think of another religion where congregational singing plays a major role in services, which is probably why every other religion whose services I’ve attended felt more spiritual than the Christian churches I visited in my youth. Odd.

@shedrinkswater What genuinely good man even means in this context though

Most modern women will tolerate a man being emotionally invested elsewhere because they understand, at some subterranean level, how difficult it is to find a genuinely good man. Somewhere within themselves, many of them also understand what it feels like to remain deeply attached to an ex they once loved profoundly, and so this behaviour gets excused, rationalised, and folded into a narrative of emotional complexity. But if you really look at it, they are also one of the central problems within the equation. She is willing to let him use her as a rebound, to occupy a provisional space in his life, and then later come online and lament it publicly. How does she imagine she will ever command deep respect in the eyes of the man she will eventually marry if she has already demonstrated such a willingness to accept emotional leftovers? Men, even if they have a past, will often respect you enough not to cross certain lines with you if your boundaries are firm and you do not compromise on the question of who will become the father of your children. A woman’s standards teach people how to approach her. If she is porous where she should be discerning, she cannot then be shocked by the quality of what enters her life.

@JayLove2917 @jvlad20 Bla Bla liturgical worship is something that can be seen in Hinduism as well, modern orthodoxy doesn’t have anything Jewish in it

@kosmogenesis @jvlad20 The Jews had liturgical worship in the temples. It would be the mode of worship they knew. Not rock bands

@NickHintonn Word concept fallacy

Freemasons call themselves Sons of Cain. The world is run by evil Gnostics.

@RealBenMichael It’s a sign of our degradation as civilisation though to make debates of purely speculative and meaningless terminology

One day in our lifetime, there will be a nationally televised debate on the Filioque between a Roman Catholic and an Eastern Orthodox. Mark my words.

@devaraj227 Dude Calvinism literally made the west what are you talking about

Both Gnosticism and Calvinism are essentially terminator programs for Western culture - run/nihil. Because neither dig into the psyche in sufficiently meaningful a manner to actually lead you in an inner direction. Gnosticism is like oh, you're living in a fallen world, run by the demiurge, but you have this divine spark and you have this inner garden. Calvinism is like, you're immersed in sin and you don't have any agency if you seek salvation. Finally, these systems, Calvinism especially, merely attract people with certain psychological issues who proceed to use the perspective as justification for not changing. However...

@ttexashedge @UnseenPathways check it out, he run a monastery for a cover for pdf stuff

@kosmogenesis @UnseenPathways What

Didn’t Fr. Seraphim speak of the marriage of Hinduism and charismatic Christianity?

@hayasaka_aryan actually it's not blasphemy is white supremacy: In modern times, cross burning or cross lighting is a practice which is associated with the Ku Klux Klan. However, it was practiced long before the Klan's inception.

Notice how it’s always churches and crosses but never synagogues

@NickHintonn Was lucifer the god of Enoch though

Mormonism’s founder, Joseph Smith, was fascinated with Freemasonry. Freemasonry considers Hermes and Enoch its forefathers. And the god of Masonry is Lucifer, who teaches humans how to turn themselves into artificial gods with alchemy. So, this is why Luciferians love Enoch.

@avicennaquinas @SydSteyerhart lol dude u never had read anything ancient aren’t you

@SydSteyerhart ancient paganism had no clear ontology or ethics—at most a unified aesthetic derived from tradition; you will be doing the same thing as protestantism trying to be a gita-onlyist except you will feel foreign to your own culture

I admire the efforts to revive the ancient faiths of our people, but we lack a clear ontology or aesthetics or ethics, and the result is that our efforts become Protestantism with extra steps. The only Indo-Aryan faith that contains everything we need is in the Bhagavad-Gita.

@MedWhiteAcolyte Dude you are totally braindead sophist claiming that God has a nature means that God is part of the creation

Formal debate challenge to the Monophysites: "Is Christ two natures". A large neutral platform should be sufficient. Waiting for a swift response from Agen and any neutral platform willing to host this.

Markets reacted positively on Bulgaria election results

@collosoll @AngloVarangian Church buildings are innovations per se

@kosmogenesis @AngloVarangian Most of these innovations are introductions from the West as a result of geopolitics. For example pews don't really make sense in an orthodox setting because we do prostrations on certain feast days for example. It's an imitation of the West.

Can't imagine how annoyed Greeks feel seeing converts who've only been in the Church for a few years calling the Orthodox Traditions their families have maintained for nearly 2000 years "modernism"
