@westernpilgrm We really haven’t though

@bannedpastor You believe everyone went to hell until the 17th century, what’s the difference?

[Cuthbert ☦️🇺🇸 @CuthbertLind]

@MisterTenpenny @honorablesaint It matches my experience. Almost every young woman in my parish is a feminist.

[Cuthbert ☦️🇺🇸 @CuthbertLind]

@kingofthehood89 @soupcanarchist That kind of language is par for the course actually. A good number of Orthodox women are rabid man hating feminists and no different from women in the world.

@SobriiEstote Mormons raging at this

[Cuthbert ☦️🇺🇸 @CuthbertLind]

Ironically, what people like this attribute to a “creeping pagan influence” in the Church was one of the main criticisms Romans pagans levied against Christianity. Pagans hated relic veneration and wrote polemics against it.

[Anthony Westgate @a_westgate]

Holy Orthodoxy has survived Roman imperial persecution, Islamic conquest, Latin occupation, iconoclasm and communist revolution.

Calling an insignificant group of sectarian grifters farting into a digital echo chamber an “attack on Orthodoxy” is an insult to our heritage.

@IFBased @orthomaton Ah, the old double standard

Orthodox kiss dead skulls

[Cuthbert ☦️🇺🇸 @CuthbertLind]

@Truth_matters20 So when did pagans go from being disgusted by relics to embracing the practice? Please tell me

[Cuthbert ☦️🇺🇸 @CuthbertLind]

@Truth_matters20 Roman Pagans were equally disgusted by the practice. The last pagan emperor of Rome, Julian the Apostate, cited relic veneration as one of the central things Roman pagans found disgusting about Christianity. Ironically, you have the same opinion that ancient pagans did!

[Cuthbert ☦️🇺🇸 @CuthbertLind]

@WWUTTcom So when did Roman pagans make the transition from being disgusted by relics to venerating them? I’d be interested to know

[Cuthbert ☦️🇺🇸 @CuthbertLind]

@WWUTTcom In his polemic against Christians, the last pagan Roman emperor, Julian the Apostate, cited relic veneration as the main issue pagans found disgusting about Christians. Pagans thought Christians were defiling themselves by bringing the bones of the dead into their churches.

@MidActsPosition @katherineortho How else would you become a participant in the “finished work” of Christ’s death and resurrection if not through baptism? (Romans 6) baptism actualizes belief and unites it to the atonement. “Baptism now saves you” 1 Peter 3:21

[Cuthbert ☦️🇺🇸 @CuthbertLind]

@David_maximus_ @james_restall @needGod_net No, what you’ve done is split belief/faith from the grace of the sacrament, which has led to absurdities in the West like denying baptism and communion to the mentally handicapped who cannot mentally assent to baptism or make a proclamation of faith

[Cuthbert ☦️🇺🇸 @CuthbertLind]

@David_maximus_ @james_restall @needGod_net Ah, so the mentally retarded are unable to be baptized then.

[Cuthbert ☦️🇺🇸 @CuthbertLind]

@David_maximus_ @james_restall @needGod_net Who’s reading of the text? Yours? Why should I believe you. Interesting you didn’t comment on the even more explicit example I shared from Acts

[Cuthbert ☦️🇺🇸 @CuthbertLind]

@David_maximus_ @james_restall @needGod_net Yes it is, unless you’re a Nestorian or a gnostic, which most Protestants are

[Cuthbert ☦️🇺🇸 @CuthbertLind]

@David_maximus_ @james_restall @needGod_net Yes it is
