We know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. - 1 John 4:16 ☦️ Orthodox Christian

[Rob @AnchorDialogues]

Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

And Lord have mercy on all of us, especially the sick, the dying, the grieving, the downtrodden, the depressed, the war-torn, and those who are most in need of respite.

☦️

@CHS_SC843 @OrthodoxEthos It is objectively, however. There is no precedent for a singular authority that had superiority over all of the other patriarchs, just as Peter did not overrule his fellow disciples, rather it was always conciliar and a matter of equal brotherhood.

@El_Casmurro @OrthodoxEthos @GabrielCharczuk @FLight43781 @USATrackAIPAC @banterwithb If God's mysterious incomprehensible love and mercy can extend to the prostitutes, the thief on the cross, and Paul, it can extend to infants and anyone else God chooses.

It is not for us to judge and condemn others, only to love and be the salt of the Earth

@johncdirks If you aren't in the Orthodox Church, then what alternative Apostolic Church is there that you belong to, when none other exists?

Every alternative is a later innovation and deviation from Christ and the apostles whom He gave the keys.

“We must always set God before us. We must so place ourselves that nothing can thrust God from our thoughts & hearts, that nothing can hide Him from us, that nothing may deprive us of our beloved Lord, but that we may every hour, every minute, belong to Him.”
St Theophan the R.

@AbbotTryphon Thank you Abbot Tryphon, your blessing and prayers 🙏☦️

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner. ❤️

“All condemnation is from the devil. Never condemn each other. We condemn others only because we shun knowing ourselves. When we gaze at our own failings, we see such a swamp that nothing in another can equal it.”

@CHS_SC843 @OrthodoxEthos I believe it is not vulgar rhetoric but part of a deeper view, that the papal system was essentially the egg that hatched the individualism and rationalism that also became the later branches of Reformation. Icons to us are not an innovation, either.

[Rob @AnchorDialogues]

@Oluwadaniel_0 @CertainSpeaks God is One.

But God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

This has been the teaching of the Church since the beginning.

Only later innovations attempt to redefine God.

[Rob @AnchorDialogues]

@CHS_SC843 @OrthodoxEthos Do you consider that unknowledgeable, unloving, or talentless, etc? Why?

Do you believe that Roman Catholicism has not innovate or evolved from its pre-schism beliefs and practices?

[Rob @AnchorDialogues]

@CHS_SC843 @OrthodoxEthos Yes, to emphasize Latin innovations from the pre schism Church

@ajeee_22132 Is that why the disciples burned the other Quran versions after compiling what they thought was the most authentic only after Muhammad's death, despite admitting some was lost (such as the goat eating portions of it)?

Rhetorical, we both know it is not authentic

[Rob @AnchorDialogues]

@NewsNFTU The Orthodox Church is the only Church that goes back to Jesus and the disciples, everything else branched hundreds or more than a thousand of years later.

The argument from history belongs exclusively in favor of Orthodoxy.

@CHS_SC843 @OrthodoxEthos Yes, many such clergy exist, who preach with love and knowledge.

[Seeker @SamQari]

No Christian can convince me of the Trinity, other than it being completely illogical the fact that it is not *explicitly* mentioned in the Old Testament is enough of a reason to reject it. The Trinitarian doctrine was created to help explain the confusing belief of Jesus’ divinity, in the same way early Shia scholars believed in tahreef of the Quran because Imamiyya was not mentioned in it.

A central belief for Muslims is the Oneness of Allah and believing in His messengers, especially the final Prophet Muhammad (S). Our scripture is explicit about this. To ask me to believe in a doctrine that isn’t even explicit in the bible is a clear indication that the author of the bible never intended this belief to begin with.
