@RealBenLuigi Sure did... I lived there in the 90's and I can personally attest to this one special thing: He was the embodiment of all that the Georgians thought they'd lost under the Soviets, and even before that under the Imperial rule of Russia. He was a type of walking icon, a badass.

[John Heers @johnfromftf]

@Stormimay I think that is at the heart of it. Which means something like engaging in the ideas of say war and economics without making them the point, the telos? Yes?

[John Heers @johnfromftf]

Guys, is it okay to ignore your cultural home in favor of your spiritual home? What’s the proper balance between things given and things longed for, my reality and the reality? I know it sounds like a zitty diary entry, but bombs and babies provoke such drivel. Also, Epstein

@Orthodixie Father you are a treasure!

[John Heers @johnfromftf]

@WarriorSkald @Natsoc4america You worship a mindset. It’s obvious. I don’t reject your god (it exists), I reject your epistemology. You imagine yourself free of your atheistic world view. Youre not. It’s clear in your narrative. I too am a slave to the materialism of this age. But my hope is freedom in Christ

[John Heers @johnfromftf]

@WarriorSkald You seem to worship archeologists. Your theology demands a set of priests called “researchers”. We Orthodox Christians could care less about your holy “researchers”. Your priests all use combinations of materialism and atheism to “disprove” a Trinitarian God. Boring. Fruitless.

[John Heers @johnfromftf]

Sousing a book and your “reason” you have come to some conclusions. Thanks buddy. Also… I’ll continue to stand in churches that have been filled up with the prayers of the martyrs and the sweet smell of a billion prayers. Feel free to join me if you ever feel like leaving your own mind for a little walkabout… do you have pews in your mind or just proof texts?

[John Heers @johnfromftf]

@WesleyLHuff @gavinortlund Fruits. The authority prottys challenged has become no authority but self. Second, almost all the arguments you make here SHOULD lead you East. But it doesn’t. Because… your pride won’t let you submit. Which is of course the entire problem of Protestantism.

[John Heers @johnfromftf]

God can work through baphomet too… so I mean, I guess I’ll just do what baphomet does cuz what does it really matter? Cuz of how God is like really powerful it doesn’t really matter! I mean I usually just pray in the bathtub cuz of how standing up is tiring so like… Do your thing God!

Ugh. Such protty slop.

Submit Joel. You can do it. Immerse. Orthodoxy is possible even for you. Obedience. You got this!

[John Heers @johnfromftf]

This is a very important point, and probably the reason, in the end, why the Orthodox Church prays daily for political leaders, no matter the nation or creed of the leader. And in that sense prayer is the main weapon against atheistic leadership. Some say it is that prayer that daily saves the world. For me, man cannot “fix” this conundrum you point out. There is no fix except the daily love of neighbor that ends as a Christianization of the whole culture, including the leadership. Sounds unlikely yet … why not?

I talked to Alex Sorin and he seemed nice and also will beat you down with words that are weirdly and lovingly accurate. So there’s that

You post this as white masked men shoot and kill white unmasked men in the same “white country” this man blesses. Your idiotic race based world view doesn’t hold up for even a moment. And you failed to notice the “black” men in this video who came to said “black” man’s aid. Your entire world view is sludge born out of a materialist and evolutionary world view that worships matter and is blind to the risen Christ. Become truly Orthodox brother, the race bating scales will fall from your eyes and you can stop posting this nonsense when you embrace Christianity. You can do it. You got this. The font awaits.

[John Heers @johnfromftf]

@Fragbaza This isn’t real is it?

[John Heers @johnfromftf]

You know what term Christians never used, ever, during 1700 years of church history before the advent of truly heretical Christianity, of which you are a part: “the black church”. That term is a Light People term, shot out from the bowels of atheistic, (un) Enlightened, psuedo-Christianity. It took real heretics like you and real atheists, like your European ancestors (the home of modern day atheism) to invent such moronic, materialistic terms. Mr. Joel. Come home. Get baptized bro. Orthodoxy awaits you. All the browns, and yellows and whites and reds and blacks that make up the Orthodox Christian race await you in the font. You can do it. You got this! Abandon heresy and find peace. Christicans have taught you poorly indeed.

[John Heers @johnfromftf]

This is just one giant advertisement against sola scriptura. All that clap trap yada yada from 5 guys “reading” one book. At least Ruslan and Avery made sense! Winning! Guys. Come home. Orthodoxy awaits. Atheistic race peddling gene worshippers are easily recognizable once you stand and pray quietly among the icons of the saints, all of them brown, white, black, red and yellow indeed. Christian marriage is for those belonging to the Christian race. Full stop. Stop worshipping genes and get baptized already. Kriste Ahgsda!

[John Heers @johnfromftf]

Two things: you need to go to the nearest spot that doesn’t something beautiful, Orthodox or not, and start spending time following their lead in whatever it is they are doing. Empty yourself to their way of serving. Two: go and sit with an elder or a priest and get spiritual direction. not because the “cleric” knows stuff and you don’t but because you have passions and carry sins that you cannot see. They will help you see. Wives and husbands do this too for each other but our way is also to have a spiritual father.

Those two things together for a year and when you tweet again in a year my guess is you will have saved many a soul, starting with your own.

Also… in a year write me. We do this kind of thing but overseas currently. First Things. Much love brother. So the first thing right in front of you and quietly. ❤️

This. Is. Important.

@douglaswils Doug. Shalom. Who cares. Become a Christian. Get baptized. Orthodoxy awaits you in the font. Confession. Baptism. And a lot less worrying about Zionism bro… You got this!
