Patriarch Prime, PhD ☦️ 🇺🇸 🇦🇶

"As long as there is at least one Christian in the territory of Gaza, I will not go anywhere, because I can be a hope for them, so I will stay in the province that believes in me. If I die, I will have a dignified death as my destiny." Archbishop Alexios of Tiberias

@GnomeRad There's a whole class of people who, on the whole, completely detract from society and should hardly even been considered sentient. These people will dramatically improve themselves and their surroundings exclusively due to AI, so that they will not be able to function without it

There are people who have entire voice conversations with ChatGPT while they drive and think it’s normal. We are far more cooked than people realize. Asking AI to make things look like cozy anime is the least of our concerns

@VLubev That's why Saint Nicholas of Japan supported Japanese joining the war against Russia, and he did not break communion with the Moscow Patriarchate for the war. The Georgian Church did not break with Moscow in the invasion of Abkhazia. So many more examples exist.

@VLubev When Orthodox countries go to war, the nations are supported by their local clergy irrespective of whether or not the war is "just" (since it is not the competence of the clergy to discern military activity outside of universal moral principles [eg. rape still sinful in war]).

Ukraine: "Explain why you support Russia" Ukrainian Orthodox Church: "We don't support Russia" Ukraine: "Why should we allow you Russians to stay in our country?" UOC: "We are not Russians" Ukraine: "To this day the Russians still wonder why we want to ban them" UOC: ". . ."

@humus_or_Hummus A sense of humor is chasing you, but you are faster!

Pretty much all dinosaur fossils had wings but the scienceheads wanted to shake our faith in God by destroying the proof if dragons, so they destroyed the wing bones and the fire sacs in all the dinosaur fossil

@ThomasOfStBede Also, even if it were to be so that we should use running water, I think my original statement would still be true, since most parishes are not near to running water, or there are health issues associated with using it.

@ThomasOfStBede The Didache is a catechetical text, not a canonical one. The canons of the Ecumenical Councils and pious local councils all speak about the form of baptism, triple immersion, but not of living water.

A baptismal font is more important for a parish than an iconostasis

@JackdawJackal A thousand beheadings upon you for your fakecelness

@JackdawJackal Many Billions of Years! 🥳🥳🥳

@mmeyer_11 Only in one diocese, but that's enough for me combined with the evident holiness of his life.

@Kaleb_Atlanta Was Fr Seraphim canonized and I slept on it?!

Ecumenism is: “heresy after heresy” (St Justin Popovich) “dominated by unclean spirits” (St Ephraim K.) “panheresy” (St Demetrius Stăniloae) “superheresy” (St Gabriel of Georgia) “chief heresy” (St Seraphim Rose) “downright scum; spiritual filth” (St Porphyrius)

@Deth2Compromise I'll do what Saint Porphyrius did

@Kaleb_Atlanta And it doesn't matter unless you break from unrepentant heretics. That's not a Donatist position, which relates to personal sins NOT heresy/apostasy pf bishops. This has been a Great Lent so far and it's not over. 😊

@AZAZEL7777777 I would like to hope so, but unfortunately you praise ecumenism, which leads me to doubt that.

@Kaleb_Atlanta Wonderful, then you stand with me for both Love and Truth and never exclusively on Truth. God bless the great Eastern Orthodox Church. 🤍☦️

@AZAZEL7777777 Those seeking truth, God calls. He grants them the grace to be enlightened. Those actively standing against truth are likewise standing against God. You are right that God is love. You neglect to mention that God is also truth. You can't have one without the other.

@Kaleb_Atlanta Your first principle is truth but God is Love. If Christ had first check if u were in right standing first before blessing u then that day would’ve never come. Perfect knowledge, right practice, unchanging tradition, all barriers to garnering your love in communion. How shameful.

@AZAZEL7777777 Love cannot subsist in the rejection of the truth. That is what heresy is.

@Kaleb_Atlanta W ecumenism 🤍☦️ religion isn’t about being right (like a certain group that names itself after it) but about love, and love will eventually draw out the truth because that’s what love does.
