@EternalFaithEO Most don't. I have a bunch of Roman Catholic friends and family, and while they think I'm a bit eccentric for being EO, nobody ever gets angry or derisive. This is an internet thing.
'Wherefore, enter you all into the joy of your Lord; and receive your reward, both the first, and likewise the second. You rich and poor together, hold high festival. You sober and you heedless, honor the day. Rejoice today, both you who have fasted and you who have disregarded the fast. The table is full-laden; feast ye all sumptuously. The calf is fatted; let no one go hungry away.'
- St. John Chryostom
You can keep your bloodless priests, your boomerized masses. We will keep the feasts as our fathers have always done.
@ruckusofantioch Geunon is not only correct here, he is not even radically departing from typical philosophy of science. If you read closely you can see that he is opposing the sort of 'popular science' to mathematical certainty, so he is not about to deny the reality of numbers and so forth.
He was a famous missionary priest in Russia beginning in the 90s. He worked especially with Muslims and neo-pagans. He was martyred in the temple by a gunman in 2009. He is a priest-martyr who has a cult of veneration but who is not yet a saint on any calendar. To learn about him, read his books. His widow sells them in English at https://t.co/CFb6QyT9gZ .
@BrotherAugusti2 Surprising. So far as I know he has been consistent in defense of the teaching of the church on sex and gender. I would be very sad if that changes.
@GdalfTheGr33n He is not the Lutherans' guy. Most despise him because of his racial theology among other things. A bit ironic given that he appears to be saying we are the ones who disavow nationalism. He's on the outs with his own 'communion' because of that stuff. Pure lolcow.
@VaclavzAmeriky Correct. It's quite basic: can you become righteous actually or does God merely call you so through imputation. Not all Protestants agree, so I get why for some that doesn't hit. But that guy just doesn't get it.
@howlinghowler_ He's a Jew. But besides that, Marxism is of course a western philosophy and Orthodoxy had no part in it. The sins of Russia allowed for it's growth in the Empire, but that's something a bit different.
@imscoop22@OpStCyprian From contemporary sources, Gennadios II Scholarius who was EP directly after the Ottoman conquest. By the 18th century you can find it in St Cosmas Aetelios and St Nicodemos of the Holy Mountain. There is a mirrored 20th c Russian tradition-consensus about Bolshevism.
The Serb was literally dead to rights, we continue to drain the SPR which means there is not enough oil on the market, and if the SPR hits some low limit (somewhat unknown) then prices will go back up. I understand that you feel the need to salvage some sort of victory here for your fat, retarded, and subversively anti-American idol. But that's an extremely gay desire.
I'm not the one torturing grammar lol. And you are putting 'earned' into my mouth because of your dumb and utterly fake 16th century opposition of concepts that was invented whole cloth at that time. The child HAS TO BE AT THE PARTY. His parent produces the party, brings him to the party, and may even discipline him if he refuses the party. But the kid has to participate. He could conceivably refuse it, run away, kill himself, or intentionally ruin the party. But by accepting the party nobody is gonna say 'wow look how this kid threw this party.' And that's how to read Ephesians 2 class 101, you are welcome. Literally nobody claims that we merit anything. Give up your strawmen. This entire conversation you have been stupidly trying to claim that I think our works save us when all I have been saying is that God makes demands on His people and there is judgement for those who won't do that. If you have an issue with this, I suggest you reread your bible.
