@cptdankkk American football has the best athletes in the country. Unless you are a genetic freak you are not doing anything on any level.

@ErickYbarra3 What about the historical continuity? I still don’t get the argument or point he or anyone else is trying to make. All I see is incredible consistency and it’s not even close in comparison.

@firsttosettle @C2Antiquity Apostolic does not just mean back to the apostles.

[Everlasting Phronema @BasedPhronema]

@prncecarrington @PageauJonathan Two things can be true. You just have to step out of your either/ or box!

@GnomeRad @DSWcab Why don’t you just talk to him about it. It would be a great discussion and if you are sure of yourself you can easily refute it and bring him closer to your side.

@OrthoCoptic1234 @C2Antiquity Is grace created in your view?

[Everlasting Phronema @BasedPhronema]

@MyCup0verFlows @farmingandJesus That doesn’t equate to sola scriptura.

[Everlasting Phronema @BasedPhronema]

@patristicpill It’s kind of like when Muslims conveniently pick and choose verses that are “corrupted”.

[Everlasting Phronema @BasedPhronema]

@LizzieMarbach @_InTheFilth @C2Antiquity Yes, and you are really visible, with unique characteristics, a mind and one body. We cannot conclude then that the church or people are united in Christ through multiple bodies.

[Everlasting Phronema @BasedPhronema]

@LizzieMarbach @_InTheFilth @C2Antiquity How can one separate them when the church is the bride of Christ and Paul speaks of becoming one flesh. Separating the spiritual reality and the physical reality is very Gnostic.

[Everlasting Phronema @BasedPhronema]

@johncdirks @patristicpill That’s a fair point. Binding judgements based on standards and norms. For example a judge issues an opinion, but Supreme Court makes a normative ruling that is ultimately binding to all.

[Everlasting Phronema @BasedPhronema]

@johncdirks @patristicpill You’re missing it. Using the example above, sola scriptura leads to the individual conscience trumping all. This subjectivity makes normative truth claims impossible (Trinity, gospel, salvation).

[Everlasting Phronema @BasedPhronema]

@johncdirks @patristicpill It is. You have two opposing views, who gets to determine who is correct? Orthodox have case law and a Supreme Court to use a metaphor. Protestants make up new interpretations and have no regulating body. Just start a new “church”.

[Everlasting Phronema @BasedPhronema]

@johncdirks No complete misrepresentation.

[Everlasting Phronema @BasedPhronema]

@desertcynic Okay. What are the steps to correct your brothers (internet orthodox) as outlined in scripture since we are talking about our Christian behavior.

[Everlasting Phronema @BasedPhronema]

@johncdirks Translation: “I personally identify as The Church”.

[Everlasting Phronema @BasedPhronema]

@LizzieMarbach @Alex_Ortodoxie @MethodMinistry Lizzie, what is the Orthodox understanding of the atonement? I’ll be waiting.

[Everlasting Phronema @BasedPhronema]

@LizzieMarbach @BreeSolstad You are entitled to your heretical opinion

[Everlasting Phronema @BasedPhronema]

@thoughts39057 @Rach4Patriarchy Well that’s just your opinion and it’s not worth much
