@Abunajohn The point is not lost on me — it’s simply irrelevant. As others have pointed out, we have a plethora of lay saints from the past 200 years, not to mention the countless ones which we, because of our weakness, are unaware of.

@Abunajohn -lower our standards for who we recognize as Glorified.

[Photios @PhotiosOfGA]

@Abunajohn I’m sorry, but what part of Carlo Acutis’ life exemplifies what being a Christian is in this modern age?

There are far better examples to point to, but if you want to insist that we don’t have lay saints like Acutis — you’re right, we don’t have any one who has required that we-

[Metropolitan Saba Isper @SabaIsper]

Every Christian is called to be a witness for Christ.
Not only clergy.
Not only missionaries.

@KalebAtlanta @GermanCarranza3 And yet there is still a voluntary swearing by God that occurs here, showing that He subjects Himself, not that He is subjected.

@serentti @AngloVarangian It’s not a question we have to answer with anything other than, “We believe God saves whosoever He wills, and listens to the Church’s constant prayers for the unbaptized, especially infants.”

@jerrylingjiemei @OrthodoxWario Auctorem Fidei precludes any conclusion that the Roman Pontiff could approve of any rite or devotion that could be injurious or heretical. So, where do we go from here?

@lettuce_isgood C-Sections cost more and are often overused.

The Orthodox Church is benefitted by loud, popular, and boisterous personalities who are able to spread the faith through their wide reach and charisma.

We are also harmed by them because being loud, popular, and boisterous tends to make them frequently wrong and unteachable.

@bannedpastor And who voted to establish such a practice? Married bishops. Tradition is about fidelity to doctrine, practices can (and sometimes should) change to better fit the Church’s life through our the ages.

@Sola_Requiem @philliplede @MythosMax -the devil, as said Myth is very clearly an apology for the serpent tempting Adam & Eve.

[Photios @PhotiosOfGA]

@Sola_Requiem @philliplede @MythosMax 1.) Christ would be Prometheus’ prototype as He is co-eternal with the Father, and Prometheus is not
2. The through line of Prometheus’ myth is that he provides humanity with forbidden knowledge which enables both their destruction & prosperity. If his prototype is anyone, it is-

@OpStCyprian -absolutely nothing in this regard, which seems untenable if the Church is supposed to be the safeguard of the Scripture’s meaning/interpretation.

[Photios @PhotiosOfGA]

@OpStCyprian Today’s scholars have a fundamental lack of understanding because they do not speak Koine Greek, or have any first-hand access to the Judeo-Hellenic lens which inspired the Scriptures.

Another day on Orthotwitter, another debate about the eternal state of unbaptized infants. God have mercy on us sinners!

@HabemusMalleum Such is the ancient and trustworthy teaching of our venerable and Orthodox Church
