@MalleusJudas @JustinusRomanus Children who were massacred by Herod also went to hell apparently, this is BS
Clement of Alexandria says they go to a abode much better on the account of what they suffered here and they grow up among angels

@Deth2Compromise @KellyPowersBPA @JayDyer The few times I've seen him take TO callers he spergs out because the arguments he makes against Roman Catholics are now turned upon him and he has no defense. "Some dude in a trailerpark" poisoning of the well and then quickly booting them from the call.
English
@KellyPowersBPA @JayDyer Yup! Dyer is scared beyond comprehension to debate a True Orthodox.
English
Jay Dyer @JayDyer Well at least you acknowledged you are of the dark side! Do are you only debating big name people or is your devious plan for debates open to people like me? I’ve been trying to get you to respond for a debate but nothing. So Sith Lord what you say?
English
Either the church is the ark of salvation or it is not. Where does this idea come from that you are "Schrodinger's Christian" depending on your proximity to an Orthodox church?

I find it interesting the different ways people have been interpreting this video. What fr. SDY said is what we believe. if you are a Protestant in your own Protestant country with no Orthodox Church then you’re more likely to be saved. The moment you send missionaries to an orthodox country or have an Orthodox Church near you, we no longer view you as Christian. God works with what is available to you.

@OzarkReaction @NewsNFTU @DeuceBigalowEO @Ludwigstarken @seanye24 @BashlinCore just to be clear I don't write this as a way to gloat over his condition
English
@OzarkReaction @NewsNFTU @DeuceBigalowEO @Ludwigstarken @seanye24 @BashlinCore Hopefully he can get some peace now, he had been really riled up about this for a good minute. Often people will get into these neurotic feedback loops and just do lots of mental harm to themselves.
English
A lot of people are dropping the title "Father" from SDY it seems. Now he can understand what it feels like to be me

For which reason will Patriarchs break communion? You would think it would be heresy, but apparently the modern day answer is territory disputes.
English
This is a good example of being kind yet firm on the internet.

@DeuceBigalowEO @NewsNFTU @Ludwigstarken @seanye24 @BashlinCore I was baptized in February of 2023 at the Holy Transfiguration parish in Mammoth Spring, Arkansas. Do not accuse me of lying or being “fallacious,” especially after I’ve been charitable towards you in presuming you’re simply ignorant of these things and not acting in bad faith.

@OzarkReaction @NewsNFTU @DeuceBigalowEO @Ludwigstarken @seanye24 @BashlinCore (he also blocked me for defending Old Calendarist synods despite me being a member of ROCOR lol)
English
@OzarkReaction @NewsNFTU @DeuceBigalowEO @Ludwigstarken @seanye24 @BashlinCore One can immediately tell when someone has learned everything about Christianity from Jay Dyer. And now there are podcaster clones of him that also parrot everything he says, but are much worse at rhetoric.

@Deth2Compromise In my experience in ROCOR over time, there has been such a miserable shift in how the Old Calendarists are viewed and treated. ROCOR uncs view them warmly as fellow struggling brothers, and this last decade of converts think that they are worse than infidels and heathens.
English
@NewsNFTU @DeuceBigalowEO @Ludwigstarken @seanye24 @BashlinCore Even some of the earlier Orthobros had arguments. This newest crop have no idea what they’re talking about

In typical Orthobro fashion, Duece Bigalow blocked me because he refused to prove his false claims about my synod. They ALWAYS decontextualize the facts to invent their own. It's the same reason why Jay Dyer refuses to debate a True Orthodox. They only thrive on lies.
English
@BonifaceOption gotta say, the idea of a giant cat scan for a car with AI to automatically detect issues sounds incredibly cool.
English
If you could put your car through something like an MRI to inexpensively find out exactly what was wrong with it, you'd think mechanics would love technology like that.
But the ones who find a worn muffler belt and a blinker fluid leak every time you go to change the oil are the first to decry such a thing.
Of course, they would claim an abundance of "false positives" because this would protect their graft.
Technology like this is disruptive, not because it tears apart a well-functioning node in the healthcare economy, but because it reveals just how much malignant growth there is and how easily it can be removed.
Our medical system is like if we had a Soviet bureaucracy whose main imperative is—not adherence to the diktats of the Party—but extracting as much wealth from the patient and taxpayer as possible.
Things like this lay bare the problems, and one hopes will begin to lead us toward solutions.

You'll see a lot of doctors come out "against" this kind of broad screening system. They can even get quite agitated about it. This resistance stems from a well-established clinical consensus: traditional population-level imaging fails to improve health outcomes because false positives and invasive follow-ups do more harm than good. But this view suffers from an obvious blind spot. Existing studies rely on static data and completely ignore time-series imaging. And time-series is ignored because we haven't been able to afford to do high frequency imaging at population scale. Clearly, time series is going to be immensely more valuable than a single image. If you drop costs, value can go from 0 -> 1. On a more fundamental level, the argument against screening rests on an obviously false precept "More information is bad" -- just clearly untrue. More information better, you just have to interpret it correctly.
English
@Deth2Compromise @DeuceBigalowEO He blocked me, but I'm not even TO like he assumed lol
English
@EfrnSss @DeuceBigalowEO Because history scares them.

Modernity's impact on the spiritual/social/economic state of the world today is equivalent to a Christian village getting raided by Heathen vikings in 800 A.D.
WO clergy calling us "mentally ill" isn't an insult.
I'd rather be TO & mentally ill than WO & spiritually abused.
English
@Deth2Compromise @DeuceBigalowEO No clue why WO have this rabid attitude towards TO.
English
@Deth2Compromise @DeuceBigalowEO I'm sensing a circular definition of canonical with this guy
English
@EfrnSss @Deth2Compromise THEY WERE NEVER GIVEN EITHER. Bro what about this are you not understanding.
English
@DeuceBigalowEO @Deth2Compromise autonomous and autocephalous are not the same thing
English
@Deth2Compromise @EfrnSss You just called that fake synod autonomous but they were explicitly never given autocephely. Bro come on wake up this is an obvious contradiction (p =\ p). Did you even try googling like I asked?
English
@DeuceBigalowEO @Deth2Compromise I wasn't asking you first of all. Second of all stop sperging out. The TO situation is more complicated than you think and I think it is fair to offer more grace to people who literally have the same faith as you than literal infidels and heretics.
English
@EfrnSss @Deth2Compromise You’re cool with these creepy old dudes grooming kids? Come on man you don’t need to be a father to see the end goal of these frauds.
English
@DeuceBigalowEO @Deth2Compromise settle down, I was just curious
English
@EfrnSss @Deth2Compromise Milan synod the one this fake “priest” and his fake “bishop” are under that was started 40 years ago that was never apart of the church and never received autocephely. Neither of them nor this entire cult has ever been a part of the body of Christ. They just claim it like prots.

@FrJohnBoddecker @oanagnostes @Scholarius1 Tons of words are left untranslated for English speakers (theotokos). Though English is quite good at assimilation of foreign words, it shouldn't be relied on when there are existing words or compound words to use.
English
@FrJohnBoddecker @oanagnostes @Scholarius1 Most converts at first are enamored with the old languages, and after enough of dealing with the arrogance of some, they are turned off. Greeks are the worst, but some Russians have this arrogance about their language, too. I'll say Arabs that I've met don't, God bless them.
English
Georgian, Armenian, Arabic, Syriac, translations between Greek and Latin and Slavic translations which started to emerge in 9-10th cent. (first in Bulgaria, later in Kiev and Novgorod)...
Brother, are you sure that you're not ignoring a significant part of the Church tradition?
Paisios@AngloVarangian
Calling Fr. Stephen De Young a heretic for stating how the Church approached Patristics in the 1st Millennium is ridiculous. That Pope is not Canonized, and he's talking here about Vernacular Liturgy. Not Patristics, which the Church did not translate into Vernacular language and still read only in Greek, Latin, and Syriac in the 9th century. The idea of reading Patristic Theology separate from the language each Holy Father wrote in is a very modern concept.
