@Longevity_EDU My wife does that.
She prays for integrity, walks in integrity before God, and is almost OCD about following God by faith. Plus of course the physical nutrition and regimen similar to what you mentioned. She's 72 and looks 50.
@gospel_american Not true. Both traditions affirm Christ as the sole ultimate mediator (1 Tim 2:5). Orthodox extend to the departed saints as part of the one living Church (“all live to Him,” Luke 20:38), using icons for visible communion. The material is only material.
@BremnesSteinar@gospel_american You are free to be the iconoclast that you are, and rage against all the pictures of Christ in the Protestant and secular world (streets, museums, civic places) that inspire honor and worship of Him. Zero are worshipping the material. You're welcome.
@plaiboidedon@ginnydmm@SuppressedNws1@SafaaAlNuaimi@CommunityNotes Christ is King in its pure sense is pro-Jew because it is pro-Messiah, and allyship. That some of the Jews desired to stone those who proclaimed Christ is not to be held against them, as Stephen requested.
@DW2025X@JCRyle Very good definition. The default is the gift. James 1:17: "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights...". The users (you and I) did change it, and the good news is that the Lord already changed it back.
@MikhailaFuller@WesleyLHuff Wes Huff errs: early Xtns were NOT SolaScriptura; they had apostolic succ, real pres Eucharist, liturgies w/incense/icons, oral trad+Scripture as rule, theosis soteriology. Filioque: no. Good intellect, but mistake: you can't intellectualize mystery.
@goarch@goarchDRE 2/* and Aaron’s rod that sprouted and blossomed forth. * And your betrothed and guardian bore witness * before the priests, and he cried aloud, * “The Virgin gives birth, and after childbirth * still she remains a virgin.”
@FordhamOrthodox The truth about ourselves as informed by the Truth leads us to repentance, & once Truth is known, speaking the truth in love is always primary, experience secondary. Christ turns experience upside down, & never compromises truth in love: "Go, & sin no more."
@Esteban16403322 @lapaix1776 @GaryMarcus@elonmusk You were created by God in love as male, to be a beautiful man, on fire w His love for Him & others, & through accepting this path you may become a perfect human being. This is the only true and everlasting construct. Please don't run from that & twist it.
@NathanielJolly You reject the manifestation of the Holy Spirit since the apostolic fathers? The 3rd Person of the Trinity just happened to stop manifesting Himself because you said so?? You purport to have much power over what the creator of the Universe ex nihilo does.
@LuciferianPope@CherylWroteIt And we who are grafted in and live as Japheth in the tents of Shem will with natural zeal support your defense, as ones in fulfillment of Isaiah 11:9-10.
A Group of #Orthodox#Albanians Visits Gračanica Monastery
Today, a group of Orthodox Albanians from Fier, Albania, visited Gračanica #Monastery. The guests had the opportunity to learn about the rich history and spiritual significance of Gračanica, one of the most important #Serbian #Orthodox holy sites in #Kosovo and #Metohija.
During their visit, the group met with Bishop Teodosije of Raška and Prizren. In a warm and heartfelt conversation, they discussed topics related to the spiritual life of the #Church in Kosovo and Metohija.
Bishop Teodosije also extended his greetings to His Beatitude, Archbishop Anastasios of Albania, expressing profound respect and admiration for his dedicated service and selfless love for the Church and its people. With warmth, he highlighted Archbishop Anastasios as a guiding example for all who seek to follow Christ’s path.
Following their visit to Gračanica, the group continued to Draganac Monastery. There, they were warmly welcomed by Abbot Justin and the brotherhood, who introduced them to the history of the monastery and its spiritual life.
The visit unfolded in a spirit of Christian love and fellowship, underscoring the importance of mutual connection and support among Orthodox #Christian believers.
