I don’t always like his style.
But respect for not letting internet randos push him around.

Ok.

I will tell you.

When I was about 20 I was part of a program called "Bold action system and environmental deployment" or "Based" for short. They recruited me after I took down a small group of terrorists in a now famous incident at the Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angelas.

From there I underwent sophisticated training in counter terrorism in Washington DC. My forst encounter there happened at Dulles International airport.

A group of terrorists were attempting to free a famous South American General scheduled to fly over dulles and some of our own military went rogue. I had no choice but to stop them in the airport. They made up a cover story of course.

From there the things I did were a bit less impressive. I was involved in an incident around a gold heist and some bombs...and a major cybersecurity threat....but when I decided to become a content creator after Israel offered me 10 million Shekels they had to scrub these details clean and invent a backstory of a very normal of somewhat flawed man.....

There is all is in black and white.

@paleochristcon @ViKu1111 I knew I recognized you from somewhere.

[OrthoDad @scottseraph]

@SacrdCowTipping Interesting.
Thanks for the response.

@SipsWithSerra Come to coffee hour after Liturgy.
Most will have no idea who he is.
Those who do, will mostly be moving on from his influence.

@turner_emi65255 @cruzzeroutdoors @AgWriterArk Life goals. I'm training to ride a century (100 miles) so i can (God willing) hike Pinnacle with my wife in my 70s.

There still must be some way of discerning who else is a disciple of Christ in the first 1000 years. Otherwise we're just picking and choosing who we like or (arguably worse) snippits we like from various writers.
If you don't want to reveal a denomination, that's fine.
The op sounded like all "church fathers" were untrustworthy. If that's the case, how do you know what a disciple of Christ is?
Or perhaps I misunderstood.

[OrthoDad @scottseraph]

@SacrdCowTipping Then how do you decide who to trust from 90 AD to 1000 AD. Genuinely curious.

[OrthoDad @scottseraph]

@KaeleyT fair. also kind of a chiken/egg problem

"It is true that the First Amendment was originally addressed only to action by the Federal Government . . . But this distinction was eliminated with the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment and the application to the States of the First Amendment's restrictions." NY Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 277 (1964).

@OrthoTexan70 #3: We just do what our Bishop tells us. Why is everyone mad?

@Dusan_Bara My wife used to have a big fig tree that produced tons of figs in season. So she would host a fig potluck. Everyone could come get some and make fig based dishes, then folks would vote on the best fig dish at the party.

[OrthoDad @scottseraph]

@PiousMethDealer @banterwithb Agreed!
It's an argument for the Bishops!
For laymen, the obedience is as (maybe more) important than the technical correctness.

If it is just a mosque that otherwise complies with building and zoning codes, probably fine. But the Epic City project probably will run into many problems if it tries to be exclusively for Muslims.

There is a development in Arkansas that is being sued because it is for whites only. However that shakes out in the Courts will be an indicator of how a Muslim exclusive community will be received.

@BrianLMcIntosh1 @roddreher 14th Amendment applies the federal bill of rights to the States. And, most states have a free speech clause in their constitution as expansive or more so than the 1st Amendment.

@Dusan_Bara @vmpops @DukesMayonnaise DM your address, and I'll ship you some.

[OrthoDad @scottseraph]

@AppyOrtho Memory Eternal good buddy.

[OrthoDad @scottseraph]

@Dusan_Bara @vmpops @DukesMayonnaise That is unfortunate.

[OrthoDad @scottseraph]

@KoskowithaK You would get along with my wife.
She makes gobs of that stuff.
It’s lovely with goat cheese.
