I know things

@MakedoniaSun @Based_BG Calling "Alexander, son of Philip, the Macedonian" in an Hellenistic context is the equivalent of naming "Demosthenes, son of Demosthenes, the Athenian". It does not prove that Macedonians were not Greek.

@MakedoniaSun @Based_BG I have specifically provided chapter and verse. If you choose to ignore it, it's your prerogative. The claim stands. You are quoting the Deuterocanonical book of Maccabees, which is not multilaterally accepted by Christians and still proves nothing.

North Macedonians🇲🇰 are now claiming the Bulgarian🇧🇬 city of Plovdiv as their own, because the Greek🇬🇷 Emperor (Philip II of Macedon) renamed the city after himself when he conquered Plovdiv in 342 BC. You just can't make this up. 😂

@DBryanRhodes You cannot negotiate love or desire. The level to which your needs and wants are met in a marriage is the *precise* measure by which your partner loves and cares for you. You are putting in sacrifice to be with another person. You expect a heartfelt reward.

@DBryanRhodes Love should inspire men to explore their wives' character, their wants and needs. And vice versa. Wives should explore their men's wants and needs. That's what you have a shared life for. If not, you are just glorified roommates with legal obligations to each other.

One of the things I really stress hard in pre-marital counseling is to absolutely gut and trash this way of thinking. Foolish Garbage.

You'll find me in the library/archive of Gondor.

@MakedoniaSun @Based_BG There is absolutely no occurrence of the words "Alexander son of Philip, the Macedonian" in the Bible. This claim is completely made up. Even if it were, it would prove nothing. It would be the same as saying, "Demosthenes, son of Demosthenes, the Athenian".

@Based_BG The Bible explicitly names Alexander as the King of Greece (Daniel 8:21; 11:2-4).

Initially, I wasn't going to reply. But I will not allow you to use the Holy Bible as an instrument for your low IQ Monkeydonian propaganda. The Bible does NOT speak of today's North Macedonians. It speaks of the ORIGINAL ANCIENT MACEDONIANS, who were not Slavic people 🤦🏻‍♂️

Imagine being a Roman soldier guarding a tower with this view....

@kan_immanuel @PracticalTheolo @AncPhi The verse is referring to Father and Son. It is a quote from Hebrew Psam 110:1. The Psalm reads "YHWH (the name of God - the Father) said to my Lord". No ambiguity. The ambiguity was introduced through the replacement of theonyms with nomina sacra (ΚC) and no Tetragrammaton.

@PracticalTheolo @AncPhi Circular reasoning. You’re assuming for not reason whatsoever that the verse is talking about Jesus.

The entire New Testament is written in Greek, the existence and usage of the LXX (Greek Old Testament) demonstrates the dominance of Greek in the Palestine of Christ's era, the NT authors quote from the LXX overwhelmingly and predominately compared to the Masoretic (Hebrew), some double meanings that Christ used can only be said in Greek (e.g. anothen in John 3), the trilingual inscription (Greek, Latin, Hebrew) on Jesus' cross (John 19:20) shows the general polyglottism of the region, Paul's easily switching from Hebrew to Greek (e.g. Acts 21:37 ff, Acts 9:29) in his speeches demonstrates native proficiency with the languages indicating how Greek usage was not merely a scholarly or occasional tongue. In fact, given the contextual evidence, anyone who says that Jesus did not know Greek is very nearly entirely unfamiliar with the New Testament.

Women need to stop acting like sexual rejection inside marriage is some harmless inconvenience a good man should just silently absorb forever. It breaks his spirit, damages the bond, and teaches him that the deepest part of him is unwelcome in his own home. That is not a small issue. That is marital negligence.

@alrythy_ly @RomioiLevantine The descendants of Abraham lost their covenant rights, I'm afraid.

@RomioiLevantine You are merely the descendants of someone like me, and your civilization is known for its nudity. As for us, we are the descendants of Abraham, the heirs of the prophets, and the last of the great ones. Know your place, you slave.

We are the descendants of the Greek Seleucids, successors of Alexander the Great in our Romioi Levant, Romioi (Greeks), descendants of Constantine I, Basil, and Heraclius, bearers of the legacy of Greek (Romike) and Roman civilization.

@EuropeMytical Built under John I Doukas, the Sebastokrator, who declared an independent state of Thessaly from the rest of the Roman Empire. Against the Union of the Churches and had the church built as a "bastion of Orthodoxy". He was a supporter of the Laskarids as legitimate Roman emperors.

The church of Porta Panagia in Trikala, Greece, is a prominent Byzantine temple of the thirteenth century, built in 1283. It is characterized by being what remains of an old monastery, standing out for its limestone walls, ceramic decoration and a structure that mixes Byzantine and Western influences.

@AngelosThemelis @Electra306 Correct! A prayer or signifier similar to the "Εν τούτω νίκα", recognising/praying to Christ as the King of Kings and those who lead (including Caesar).

@polemios @Electra306 "Βασιλεύς Βασιλέων, Βασιλεύων Βασιλευόντων" (Basileus Basileon, Basileuon Basileuonton). Which translates to "King of Kings, Ruling Over Kings"

@YossiBenYakar If only it hadn't been for catastrophically and repeatedly attacking the Eastern Roman Empire rather than minding its own business instead, both Persia and the Romans would have been strong enough to repel the Arabs and their Islamic imperialism.

t.co/e20UFXPLY6 An Iranian woman speaks the truth the world refuses to hear: “Islam is not our religion in Iran. Islam was imposed on us through torture, massacres, decapitations, rapes, and slavery, forced upon the Persian people who were actually Zoroastrians.” This is the brutal history Western elites love to ignore. The whole world must see this. Share it.
