@271k_only Whores, they never learn.. We are to judge God demands it. They judge all non jews fck them. They say they are part of our religion that's a lie.
"If your marriage is like this, your perfection will rival the holiest of monks."
St John Chrysostom's advice to husbands:
+ Never speak to your wife in a mundane way but with compliments, with respect and with much love.
+ Tell her that you love her more than your own life, because this present life is nothing, and that your only hope is that the two of you pass through this life in such a way that in the world to come, you will be united in perfect love.
+ Say to her, 'Our time here is brief and fleeting, but if we are pleasing to God, we can exchange this life for the Kingdom to come. Then we will be perfectly one both with Christ and with each other, and our pleasure will know no bounds. I value your love above all things, and nothing would be so bitter or painful to me as our being at odds with each other. Even if I lose everything, any affliction is tolerable if you will be true to me.'
+ Show her that you value her company, and prefer being at home to being out at the marketplace
+ Esteem her in the presence of your friends and children
+ Praise and show admiration for her good acts; and if she ever does anything foolish, advise her patiently.
+ Pray together at home and go to Church; when you come back home, let each ask the other the meaning of the readings and the prayers.
If your marriage is like this, your perfection will rival the holiest of monks.
I just agreed to debate @JayDyer on two topics at DebateCon 9 (October 24-25) in Orlando. The topics will be: (1) Icon Veneration and (2) Which Is the True Church?
The end of the OrthoBro cult is nigh. 😇
People who assume all insults and invective are "not Christ-like" immediately show their unfamiliarity with the Church Fathers who frequently used insults against their opponents in their *heated debates.*

.@UbiPetrus2019 & @JayDyer make phenomenal points here about why Gen Z is so attracted to the theological debate sphere.
Older generations definitely grew up in a much more homogeneous society, with far less conflict. Gen Z, on the other hand, has grown up in probably one of the most polarizing periods in history, which attracts us to aggressive pushback against cataclysmic worldviews which have led us to where we are.
Religion has been blotted out of public schools, social degeneracy has run its course in every aspect of our society (entertainment, media, literature, politics), standpoint theory is crammed down everyone’s throats in academia… the list is never-ending. Growing up with these things and more… is naturally going to create a generation who wants confrontation with those worldviews and with the people who promote them.
People of my generation have visceral reactions to what non-Orthodox worldviews have brought our nation, and not only do we want nothing to do with them, we want to combat and destroy them before they destroy us.
In Russia, women are taught that BEING BEAUTIFUL IS A WOMAN’S JOB.
American women are taught they should be loved for who they are.
Basically, American women are taught to be lazy and just expect men to settle for what they can get.
