Hypocrite copts/orientals outing themselves and saying the Greek orthodox killed in Jordan aren’t martyrs.
Same goobers cried and whined and piety signaled when I said their Copts killed by Isis weren’t Orthodox Calendar martyrs.
"In the last days, evil and heresy will spread so widely that believers will not be able to find a priest or pastor who would protect them from delusions and guide them to salvation. At that time, believers will not receive reliable guidance from people; but their guide will be the writings of the Holy Fathers. Especially at this time, every believer will bear full responsibility for the entire Church. Brothers, it is time for all of us to take responsibility before God and history. Do not tolerate any more foolishness or delusions from priests or archbishops. Do not turn a blind eye to this, for you will bear joint responsibility. The Saints warn you."
~ Saint John Maximovitch
OK, I am seeing a few clips appearing on line from the Dyer/Wood exchanges, and I am a bit confused. In one Dyer is wearing some kind of Russian furry hat (an ushanka?) and a t-shirt with some kind of weird image on the front, can't really see it well. In the next, he's wearing a hat like Gilligan wore. Did this guy seriously show up like that to a formal debate? Or was he messing around during it? Next, I am pretty sure I heard him, at one point, say that you can worship an icon of Christ. Thorny problem from the EO's given their abuse of Basil and, if you really took him seriously, you would allow that, but post Nicea II orthodoxy (Theodore the Studite, Nikephoros) said "Nyet" to that idea, though, of course, they had to dance on the head of a pin to make up definitions to figure that one out. Still, Lossky et al are clear in denying the position Dyer enunciated. Of course, as always with this topic, there is wiggle room for "relative worship" and all that kind of stuff.
@JayDyer Rewatched the recent debate, ome of the funniest lines when you asked him if his church teaches baptismal regeneration and he proceeds to say "listen, I-I dont-i don-i uh duh i duh duh- I duh" lmao completely failing to answer and avoiding the question. Laughed out in my car.
@JayDyer The idea that there must be one uniform closed Canon where every single book is "equal", cuz scripture is a list of doctrinal precepts is a 16th century presupposition of Trent&The reformers.The Orthodox kept the tiered view of scripture and the value of books outside the canon
You peeps with Dyer deramgement syndrome need to chill, seriously.
A close friend of mine, heard me and some other people discuss Orthodoxy from time to time and became interested in attending a service. He expressed a genuine desire on his own. (cont.)
20 years of apologetics and David Wood, who argues against "adding" to the "essentials" of the Gospel, can't give you a list so you can tell when someone is trying to add to it. Absurd.
"I have no problems with councils until they start doing things contrary to the Bible...which I interpret myself...so really I'm cool with councils until they start doing things I don't agree with." ~ Pope Wood I
Sylvester Stallone says that having his daughter in a major role in ‘TULSA KING’ Season 4 is absolutely nepotism.
“First they go, ‘Nepotism is terrible. I said, ‘Oh please, you’re not a good parent if you haven’t performed a little nepotism.' Then obviously you don’t care about your kids, because they come first.
Of course it’s nepotism, you idiot. That’s why we’re parents. We want the best for our children. So obviously, we let them have every advantage.”
