NEW BOOK!
"Beauty of Miaphysite Soteriology is a radiant celebration of God's salvation through the prism of Miaphysitism... and the implications of Non-Miaphysite Christology, as evident in some of the writings of Aloys Grillmeier and Sergei Bulgakov." https://t.co/5RjPG7RAYC

Christ is born!

Blessed Feast Day of St. Dioscorus, the Lamp of Orthodoxy!

May his prayers be with us all, Amen.

[Michael Meshreki @MichaelMeshreki]

Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God, have compassion on me, the very weak one.
Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God, dwell with your Light in me, your lowly servant.

Pray for me, I the very weak and lowly. Glory to our God alone.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it..."

Matthew 16:24-25

Blessed Glorious Feast of Ascension!

As we celebrate this feast while approaching the Great Feast of Penetocst, the Feast of the Spirit, here's a work exploring our Orthodox apprehension of the Son and Spirit.

Praying it's of benefit. Pray for me.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want... Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Psalms 23

If St. Dioscorus did have a part in this, that would have been THE ONLY accusation in Chalcedon. The only one. We're speaking of murder after all.

He was not condemned for such blatant lies, and no such thing was brought up in the public so-called condemnation.

[iKan. @CCyrillian]

@OrthroAug @ShamashaDaniel We ALL killed Flavian Floyd according to the “4th council” and we should ALL feel a vague collective sense of guilt ✊ EO and OO brethren let us take a moment of silence to express our guilt and pay reparations for collectively killing Flavian

If your ecclesiology is based on imperialism, you thus have no ecclesiology (i.e., no church) since the Roman empire has fallen. Sorry.

'Ecumenical' councils were called in politically imperial climates. Doesn't mean the councils' imperial aspects were holy.

[Michael Meshreki @MichaelMeshreki]

@Real_Rye_Bread @OrthodoxHistory No. Category Error.

Respectfully, this is *Absolutely False.*

With all love, in Truth.

[Orthodox History @OrthodoxHistory]

The concept of “Oriental Orthodox” as a cohesive thing, with regular communication between their churches, is pretty much a 20th century reality. As I understand it, the various non-Chalcedonian groups mostly didn’t talk to each other until then.

[Michael Meshreki @MichaelMeshreki]

@FathersStudent All good, dear brother.
Thank you for your zeal and love of God.

I have sinned, forgive me as well.

[Michael Meshreki @MichaelMeshreki]

For the record: this is a comment on what sainthood is.
"What makes a saint a saint is their repentance from sin, not their immunity from sin."

This is not a comment concerning what is "patristic consensus," or a comment claiming that Chalcedon was a misunderstanding.

[Michael Meshreki @MichaelMeshreki]

With all due respect to everyone's saints:

Wrong is wrong even if done by a saint.
*No one is immune to pride, slander, or ignorance, not even saints.*

In fact, "higher-ups" are more likely to fall into those shortcomings.
Otherwise, you're holding saints as equals to Christ.

@OrthodoxHistory I believe many wonderfully answered in this thread.

Two more points:
1: Yes, to all the above.

2: You ask of "Features of Cohesive Identity," not recognizing that this is a post-Constantine ecclesiastical phenomenon. OO recognize Orthodxy in diversity, as did the Early Church.

[Michael Meshreki @MichaelMeshreki]

@OrthodoxHistory The wonderful answers of the thread, as mentioned above:
