"A pure man, without nationality (race) is an abstraction. Just as there cannot be an apple without the genetic determination of a certain kind, so too, and even more evidently, there cannot be a man without individual national (racial) determination." - St. Dumitru Stăniloae

[Methodios ☦︎☧ꖅ @Methodios007]

Pharaoh hardened his own heart. When Scripture says God “hardened” it, it’s describing God’s righteous action in response. He gives Pharaoh over to his chosen resistance, not forcing evil into him. God doesn’t override free will; He confirms what a man already wills.

https://t.co/CHJvQ6EQ8s

Following the thousands of Baptisms celebrated at parishes across America during Holy Week, many parishes have also been reporting mass Baptisms celebrated on the feast of Pentecost.

Here is my reaction to some of the apologetics problems that have come up in Orthodox and Protestant discussion about salvation and where the true Church is and how those are related. Hopefully it is helpful to the discussion. @OrthodoxEthos , @Acts17David , @gavinortlund , @C2Antiquity , @JayDyer , @Alex_Ortodoxie

“For neither as God nor as man was He ever forsaken by the Father, nor did He become sin or a curse nor did He require to be made subject to the Father. For as God He is equal to the Father and not opposed to Him nor subjected to Him….Appropriating, then, our person and ranking Himself with us, He used these words.”

Saint John of Damascus, An Exposition of the Orthodox Faith, Book 4, Chapter 18.

Можда и најзаслужнији човек за то што је данас у Америци православље најбрже растућа деноминација и што хиљаде Американаца свакодневно прелазе на православље.

[Севастократор @Sevastokrator3]

Џосаја Тренам, један од најпознатијих америчких свештеника и теолога, дошао је из Јужне Калифорније у Београд да би се поклонио Пресветој Богородици пред њеним свештеним појасом. Након више од 12 сати стајања у реду служио је Свету Литургију у Храму заједно са нашим патријархом, свештенством и народом. Историјска и есхатолошка слика јединства Једне, Свете, Саборне и Апостолске Христове Цркве. Маран ата.

Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos III met with President Trump at the @WhiteHouse, raising concerns over the security of Christian communities in the #MiddleEast and freedom of worship at the holy sites.

He also presented President @realDonaldTrump with the “Great Bearer of the Cross” honour.

OCA faces growing priest shortage as parishes expand, new report finds
https://t.co/iBvtfyW8SP

The report draws on the OCA’s own published Pastoral Changes records from 2010 to the present, offering the most detailed picture yet of clergy supply and demand across the jurisdiction.

Btw, so you won't forget that we don't have just monastic saints, but warrior saints also

But St. Alexander Peresvet is BOTH☦️

May pray for us🙏🏼

[Wolfgang @Zalmoxis7534]

“In our scholastic theology, the focal point of our salvation has been shifted from Bethlehem to Golgotha. This shift in our Russian theology occurred comparatively recently, about 200 years ago, when the Latin theological trend came to Moscow via Catholic Poland and Kyiv, and when various scholastically minded fathers acquired greater authority than the ancient fathers of the Church.”

- Saint Hilarion Troitsky, Bible, Church, History: A Theological Examination

[Wolfgang @Zalmoxis7534]

“The death on the Cross should not be interpreted in a moralistic way, and even less in a legalistic or judicial way. These are very weak and feeble anthropomorphisms. The same applies to the concept of sacrifice. The sacrifice of the Cross exceeds the Old Testament notion of sacrifice and all other notions of sacrifice. Sacrifice is not the only issue here; the real issue is the offering of a sacrifice which is the Love of God itself. Actually, already a century ago, Metropolitan Philaret of Moscow emphasized this by saying that the mystery of the Cross of Christ is the mystery of God‘s love, the crucifying love of the Father, the crucifying love of the Son, and the love of the Spirit which triumphs in the Resurrection in the mystery of the Cross.”

God ordaining a Christian Prince for a Christian Empire

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

Alexander Dugin is offering the American Right the same offer that Satan gave to Christ on the high mountain: All of this I will give you - the power to rout your enemies, the victory in the culture war, the restored dominion of a Christian Empire. Just bow down to me. Bow down to the strong man. Trade your birthright of ordered liberty for a guarantee of victory.

Jesus refused that offer. "You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve." Not an empire. Not a "Christian Prince." A church taken into the arms of a state is not "rescued." It is captured.

Zionists have literally been writing US public school textbooks since Ghislaine Maxwell's dad Robert Maxwell took over Macmillan/McGraw-Hill in the 1980s.

Josh knows this, but for some reason he's blaming Muslims.

[Prekarios Styletes ☦️📿 @prekariosstylet]

If we were humble, the Lord in His love would shew us all things, would reveal to us all mysteries, but our trouble is that we are not humble. We puff ourselves up and boast over trifles, and so make both ourselves and others unhappy.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

Israel is not our ally. They're a foreign government that has stolen our nuclear secrets, nuclear triggers and uranium. And they built weapons of mass destruction with them. They also stole our most sensitive intelligence through Jonathan Pollard.

They have robbed us of $320 billion. They made us waste $8 trillion fighting their wars in the Middle East.

The way they pulled off these heists is by legally bribing almost our entire Congress and being the top donor to presidents from both parties.

Their co-conspirators are the national media who cover up all these crimes and pretend that Israel is an innocent victim who desperately needs our help. When they are the exact opposite. They are an aggressive empire that takes our money and military and uses it to attack their neighbors and take their land.

We have to stop this inflitration of our country by a foreign nation that has taken control of the power structure in Washington. We are occupied.

Eusebius’ attestation to a very early (likely before 300AD) Hospitality of Abraham / Holy Trinity Icon at Mamre, and an early 300s mold which appears to be a copy of that image
