Hearing You guys discuss that made a lot of sense to me given the minority status of Christianity in the area. Would you say that the Melchite Church parishioners look at the schism with the Orthodox the way Orthodox lay people look at the schism between Constantinople and Moscow?
Lmao I genuinely wasn't being passive aggressive π I am theology noob, and I was also stoked to have an art priest like my comment. NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION Ash, I really have enjoyed your input on the discussions I've seen you in. I tuned into your stream with Divine Mercy apologetics and would genuinely love to hear more about the relationship between the Melchite Church and the Orthodox in the the Middle East. It's a perspective that would probably break a lot of online Ortho Bros brains because ~ecumenism~ but there is obviously a lot of missing context given the history of the region and I would love to hear/learn more about it. Any book recommendations? I recognize asking you to do a stream about this would be inviting more hate to your channel than you already get so I am happy to pick up a book haha.
@BruceSaiFun@EricEIEIO@BruceSaiFun correct me if I'm wrong but in the clip that has a hard cut in the middle of your sentence that he is so gleefully posting you are referring to the Tetragrammaton/I AM as another reference to our Lord Jesus Christ?
Jesus actually just has like crazy aura. Imagine all of history revolving around you, like you are literally the main character and you choose to be a poor carpenter that saves the universe. unreal writing by God im ngl.
@_captainswish@0620anthusa Hey cap, can I steal this pamphlet? I want to change the numbers to local orgs and hand it around my town. I recently read the Prayer rope pamphlet that is attributed to an anonymous Athonite monk and I really appreciated it. This is cut from a similar cloth (pardon the pun haha)
