25% of Moscow's population, as many as 3.5 million people, are Muslims, making it the most important Muslim city in Europe. The number of Muslims in Moscow has increased fivefold since Putin took power.

Russia's Muslim share of the population is projected to hit 30% in 2030.

Might be one of the most flatly absurd claims they make.

God wrote the Bible using men as His instruments. The Church has always received the Scriptures in this way, as the Bride receiving instructions from the Bridegroom, her head.

It's 2026. It's time for the Orthodox and Roman Catholics to stop using the phrase "We created the bible." Everyone knows you're lying.

@daily_romania That’s weird, isn’t he just a priest? Maybe we should hear from an Orthodox Patriarch on what the “Orthodox” position is.

The liturgy is important. Preaching is essential.

Denying the necessity of the atonement is central to Eastern "Orthodox" theology, and has been for centuries.

With the help of prayer ignore all images, whether sensory or conceptual, that rise up from the heart. For stillness means the shedding of all thoughts for a time, even those which are divine and engendered by the Spirit; otherwise through giving them our attention because they are good we will lose what is better.

So, lover of God, attend with care and intelligence. If while engaged in spiritual work you see a light or a fire outside you, or a form supposedly of Christ or of an angel or of someone else, reject it lest you suffer harm. And do not pay court to images, lest you allow them to stamp themselves on your intellect. For all these things that externally and inopportunely assume various guises do so in order to delude your soul. The true beginning of prayer is the warmth of heart that scorifies the passions, fills the soul with joy and delight, and establishes the heart in unwavering love and unhesitating surety.

The holy fathers teach that if the heart is in doubt about whether to accept something either sensory or conceptual that enters the soul, then that thing is not from God but has been sent by the devil. Moreover, if you become aware that your intellect is being enticed by some invisible power either from the outside or from above, do not trust in that power or let your intellect be so enticed, but immediately force it to continue its work.

What is of God, says St Isaac, comes of itself, without you knowing when it will come. Our natural enemy – the demon who operates in the seat of our desiring power – gives the spirit-forces various guises in our imagination. In this way he substitutes his own unruly heat for spiritual warmth, so that the soul is oppressed by this deceit. For spiritual delight he substitutes mindless joy and a muggy sense of pleasure, inducing self-satisfaction and vanity. Thus he tries to conceal himself from those who lack experience and to persuade them to take his delusions for manifestations of spiritual joy. But time, experience and perspicacity will reveal him to those not entirely ignorant of his wiles. As the palate discriminates between different kinds of food (cf. Eccles. 36 : 18, 19), so the spiritual sense of taste clearly and unerringly reveals everything as it truly is.

@el_nene59 Ironically the Philokalia warns against trusting the sudden sensation of fragrance, lights, or forms in prayer, because it could be demonic.
