No matter what situation you face, follow the example of the Apostle Peter, who called out to Christ to save him on the water. It is vital to recognize your Helper and Saviour. Peter didn’t look to his fellow disciples for help; he looked to Christ. Similarly, we shouldn't place our hope in people. Instead, we should always call out to Christ first as our primary source of help. Before going into surgery, call out to Christ! Before traveling, sleeping, eating, or working, make Christ your first line of contact. As Scripture says: "Call upon me and I will answer you."

“Orthodoxy without monasticism is not whole. Monasticism, from the beginning, was in the structure of the Church, even from the Old Testament: Elijah, Elisha, John the Baptist (who is the patron of monasticism), Saint Paul, Saint John the Theologian, and so on, the Virgin Mary. Monasticism was not organized in buildings and with an abbot or igumenos, no, but it was always in the structure of the Church. The virgins, St. Paul said in his epistles, were organized; the widows were organized. So without monasticism, the Church, the Orthodox Church, cannot have a real life.”​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

@LyingWrongAgain My question is... if the teleomony does NOT "actually" exist, how is "our cognition" causing the appearance thereof?

[Chase @ChKrosp89]

@LyingWrongAgain The "tuner" is said by the naturalist atheist to be "us". Meaning that it is the domino effects of the "precursors and physics" that emerge the "human cognition". But the actual "teleomony" does NOT actually exist.

Excellent bit, I heard it years ago and have always hoped to get this chance somehow. 😝

@maklelan and/or from the author who left the text/inscriptions.

This is why I ask everyone, "what/who is the normative authority behind your historicity?"

[Chase @ChKrosp89]

@maklelan Honestly, it was in my journey in the atheistic desert that I had grown into understanding that "history" is mostly based in the authors storytelling. You have "evidences" that can point select regions and locations but the events require alot of inferences from the historian

@orthodox_33ad ‘We are useless servants: we have only done what was our duty’ (Lk 17.10). Thus the kingdom of heaven is not a reward for works,
but a gift of grace prepared by the Master for his faithful servants.

🔸 August 2 - Saint Basil the Fool-for-Christ 🔸

Today we commemorate Saint Basil the Blessed Fool-for-Christ of Moscow. St Basil was born in 1468 and, while still young, was apprenticed by his parents to a shoemaker. One day, a merchant came to order a pair of custom boots, but Basil began to weep, telling his master the man would never need them. Days later, his foresight was proven true when the merchant suddenly died.

At age 16, Basil embraced the ascetic feat of “foolishness for Christ,” concealing his holiness and childlike purity beneath a veil of madness and seemingly strange behaviour. Through the freezing winter and scorching summer, he walked barefoot through the streets of Moscow. Once, he overturned a vendor’s stall of kalach and spilled a jug of kvas. Enraged merchants beat him, but it was later discovered that the flour had been mixed with chalk and lime, and the kvas was spoiled.

What seemed to be a senseless act was divine discernment, for Basil had saved many from harm. As his reputation as a man of God spread, people often gave Basil clothing, especially during the harsh winters. Robbers once conspired to steal his fur coat, and one pretended to be dead while the others begged Basil for money to pay for the funeral and clothing to cover the body. Basil covered the “corpse” with his coat, but warned them that judgment awaited their deceit. Soon after, the deceiver truly died.

The compassionate Saint often visited taverns and inns to call those drowning in sin to repentance. He spent his nights in prayer on the steps of Moscow’s churches. He once wept outside a drunken household, clutching the corner of the house. When people nearby asked why he did this, Basil replied, “Angels stand here in sorrow, grieved by the sins of the people. I beg them with tears to pray for their conversion.”

Basil foretold the Great Fire of Moscow in 1547, extinguished another by prayer in Novgorod, and boldly rebuked Tsar Ivan the Terrible for allowing his mind to wander during the Divine Liturgy to thoughts of building a new palace. St Basil reposed in 1557 and was buried at the Trinity Church in Red Square, later renamed St Basil’s Cathedral.

@LyingWrongAgain MakeLyin... you're not understanding the core of my question.... both Jupiter and Venus required an "environment" to become the planet Jupiter and Venus. My point has to do with the "environment" not having a cause. For example, how does the singularity have it's "environment"?

He calmed their fear before He calmed the storm. Maybe that's the order we keep getting backwards.
