@5Solas So all babies and children that pass away before or after birth have sinned at some point? Also what about those in the Bible that were taken before their death?
@007PanDemetrios@JamesOrthoTexas So you are admitting he is not a canonical priest with Holy Orthodoxy? He is not in communion with any patriarch either. You knew this though right?
@ResidentCooper@LifeOnTheHighCs@thaddeusthought You haven’t said anything? All you said is you don’t understand why people hold this belief? Why do you think God will not restore animals? You have made no argument or responded to anything. Said nothing about dogs either, just have an issue you your apathy and reasoning.
@LifeOnTheHighCs@ResidentCooper@thaddeusthought Yeah idk, I’m sure he does have empathy for the people that feel strongly about this. He’s just being edgy acting like he doesn’t hope his favorite pet will be reunited with him. Feels pessimistic to deny God wouldn’t do this.
@ResidentCooper@LifeOnTheHighCs@thaddeusthought Didn’t say it was a big deal, doesn’t matter to me either way. I find it unlikely you don’t understand why others would feel strongly about this. Do you have any reason to believe God wouldn’t restore animals? Why were they made for Adam then?
@LifeOnTheHighCs@ResidentCooper@thaddeusthought Yeah idk how that’s so hard to understand that some people miss their animals and hope to see them again. Not everyone is attached like that but surely you can sympathize with those who do. The renewal/restoration of all things can give those people hope.
@0a1e2i3o4u5y Is your point that because a Protestant church disciplined one of their members for some joke so therefore the Orthodox Church should follow their lead? Also why not just leave who needs to go offline to clergy? These “orthofluencers” believe it or not lead people to the church.
@paulrenenichols It could be a parish/jurisdiction level problem you are having but you seem unconvinced or unwilling to investigate that. If you do leave are you saying is it not the true church as well? I dont see how you could think its the true church and believe it failed too.
@stego96@TheWapplehouse I agree, but I think people need to see it like a large book series. It’s intimidating but you go at your own pace like you said and you will get through it. Learning curves and shiiiii
@TobyTurner You should visit an Eastern Orthodox Church for a service and talk with the clergy about the issues you have with Christianity. Attend a Liturgy or Vespers with an open mind.
@TheStr1ker@EarforcePx12@paleochristcon You are arguing with people on X, you are very much a part of the social system. If you don’t want to be, then go ahead and get off social media and move to the woods dude. Don’t act like you haven’t been caught up in society like most of us are when you are on X arguing.
@IndianaBrunner That seems very self centered. So you go to church to celebrate your own salvation with family? Church is there for worshipping God, that MAY grant salvation. It’s not about you or others, yes it’s beneficial to go to church, but it’s about God, set your focus on Him.
