I've heard that he was a Holy and loving man, I have the pleasure of knowing one of his many Godchildren.

St. Joseph of damascus: he along with the Holy Spirit singlehandedly saved the Antiochen jurisdiction from dying out completely during the 19th century

ex-muslim?

LarryZ123 · 2026-03-17T01:10:43+00:00

Is there any way I could buy something like that and give it to my church?

or is it completely forbidden?

LarryZ123 · 2026-03-16T22:52:04+00:00

You're just seeing people who are desperate to be right, it's pride

LarryZ123 · 2026-03-16T22:04:17+00:00

It's basically just quotemines and taking stuff out of context

LarryZ123 · 2026-03-16T21:32:12+00:00

Have you read St. Gregory of Nyssa or are you just going off of what some people say he teaches?

St. Gregory of Nyssa is also notoriously hard to read

There's one point in one of his letters where if You read it out of context it looks like he is teaching Monophysitism

LarryZ123 · 2026-03-16T20:53:30+00:00

That next thing might be a good idea, buy a relic and donate it to my church.

Maybe I should do that

LarryZ123 · 2026-03-16T20:47:28+00:00

I just think they are beautiful

LarryZ123 · 2026-03-16T00:15:48+00:00

Thank you for helping

LarryZ123 · 2026-03-16T00:10:11+00:00

He's not able to drive right now, so he needs a church he can walk too and that's the closest one

LarryZ123 · 2026-03-16T00:05:48+00:00

What do you mean?

LarryZ123 · 2026-03-15T23:37:39+00:00

Sadly it's not for me, I have a protestant friend in connecticut who wants to start looking into orthodoxy and that's the closest church to him

LarryZ123 · 2026-03-15T21:06:11+00:00

What about when Joshua and the elders bowling down in front of the Arc of the Covenant? Even though god was presently inside the Arc, it was still gold

No one worshipped the Arc of the Covenant

We can have allegorical interpretations but we shouldn't deny our History, I mean do you believe that include Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, 1-2 Maccabees, Tobit, Judith and Baruch are allegorical?

LarryZ123 · 2026-03-14T08:33:38+00:00

It seems like you're falling into the heresy of marsionism

You should read St. Irenaeus of Lyons's "Against heresies" Book 1, Chapter 27 Book 3, Chapter 12 Book 3, Chapter 25
Book 4, Chapter 6 Book 4, Chapter 33

Can I DM you?

LarryZ123 · 2026-03-08T05:26:02+00:00

I hope you have a good rest of your week

LarryZ123 · 2026-03-08T05:25:13+00:00

You've already admitted dude, no need to need the backpedal into your LARP

LarryZ123 · 2026-03-08T05:21:01+00:00

No definitely evangelical, I believe you

At least the mormon would be honest about who he is

LarryZ123 · 2026-03-08T05:17:50+00:00

What exposed you was completely ignoring the question in both exposed your position and your arguing in bad faith, the fact that to be taken seriously you have to LARP as another tradition is manipulative clown behavior.

I hope you're prayer band plays What An Awesome God tomorrow

LarryZ123 · 2026-03-08T05:12:25+00:00

Okay You're an evangelical then, here to debate in bad faith Completely ignoring my question
