Christ is Risen.

This is a blog some friends and I have been working on with no less than 90 posts of the life and works of Orthodox Theologians from the 12th to the 19th century, with a search bar and a catalogue listing them by century.

God bless.

"A man must live in such a state of anguish that if he were a pagan he would not hesitate to commit suicide. In this state then he must live. Only in this state can he love God."

- Soren Kierkegaard

The Agony in the Garden (1799-1800) by William Blake

Archpr. Constantine Jincharadze in Trace of the “Paris School” in Contemporary Theology, approved by a department of the Georgian Patriarchate in 2017, on the false teaching of Archpr. John Meyendorff & Lars Koen concerning original sin. 🧵.

@OrthoAugustine Good post.

[Mikko @blessedmikko]

Is Craig Truglia right in asserting that the Orthodox Church teaches that the remission of sin does not occur at Golgotha through Christ’s blood, but rather at the Ascension? Absolutely not! A 🧵.

[🇨🇱 Scs. Augustinus Orthodoxus est 🇪🇸 @OrthoAugustine]

Bishop Theophylact (Gorsky) of Kolomna on venial sins:
«But when mortal sins are contrasted with venial sins, only those come under this name [i.e., mortal] which actually bring on spiritual death, in that, with faith extinguished, they separate a man from union with God.

And...

@satisfyjustice I am pretty sure that this myth is also refuted by Bl. Dositheus in the Tome of Love in a relevant chapter about Saint Mark dying a “violent death.” That would be interesting to read too.

[◌ @actistonfos]

@blessedmikko I really wonder how such arguments are reconciled by the Scholastics who said that even a perfectly just man could have hypothetically atoned. Or whatever they say.

[◌ @actistonfos]

@ApexGodKing2 But at least you do the bare minimum. Think of the people who don't.

[◌ @actistonfos]

@blessedmikko Awesome stuff. The only religious text we've analysed here that I can remember is in Ancient Greek class, and it was an excerpt from a sermon on almsgiving by Saint John Chrysostom. But we don't really do whole books anyway.

[◌ @actistonfos]

@blessedmikko Ohh, also, in the Latin.

@blessedmikko The Confessions should be taught in secondary school to be honest. The Enchiridion in primary school. The City of God in college.

@blessedmikko It is rare to find a heretic who… hates chastity according to them…? 🤔🧐

[Mikko @blessedmikko]

Did Blessed Augustine condone prostitution? A🧵
