We also remain amazed at the number of posts with #orthodox & #chrisitan in the tags & then complete hippy dippy gobbledygook as content.

Scary.

We remain amazed at the number of profiles on here with "Orthodox Christian" in the bio & completely unfiltered bile in the actual content.

Embarrassing.

The fifth clip from S7E12, The Future Is Not History, in which Jim talks about theodicy, the problem of suffering, & reminds us, the problems in the world are because of our sin, not because God can't deal with them or won't deal with them. 👇🏽

What do you think?

Fourth clip from S7E12 "The Future Is Not History" in which Fr Symeon compares catechesis into The Church to military bootcamp. Not filling our heads with ideas, but training for a common way of life.

What do you think?

O faithful, let us honor Nektarios, divine servant of Christ, offspring of Silivria and guardian of Aegina, who in these latter years was manifested as the true friend of virtue...

Here are both halves of our conversation discussing how preserving the historic faith does not mean “being a conservative”.

We’d love to know what you think!

AI pioneers are lying. Because getting us to believe this stuff makes them rich.

The Virtual Culture War has us claiming there's no problem if someone has a solution we don't like.

We need to focus more on someone's good intentions & good impulses about a problem first. Then we can "debate" the solution if it requires more than prayer & humility.

What actually happened is they voted to increase tax rates, not levy new taxes. This increase impacts those who earn more than $300k

Which is nowhere close to "mega rich". Like, that's not even tiny rich. That's not rich.

The second clip from S7E12, The Future Is Not History, in which Jim points out "love" & "truth" are a person, they are the same person & He cannot contradict Himself. Also, prayer is not magic. "No" or "not yet" are answers to prayer whether you want to hear them, or not.

Writing it out, Orthodox Christians, since it & the hashtag #orthodoxChristians don't show up in the same searches, for some reason.

At where are our persons?
Still hoping to meet more #orthodoxChristians on this platform.
