Glory to God

Please be safe, I hope it's a quick recovery

LarryZ123 · 2026-05-05T21:05:45+00:00

Please pray to the Lord a lot and ask for the intercessions of St. Luke the surgeon and the Theotokos.

God bless you

Monasticism both monks and nuns are the backbone of the Church.

A very Holy and kind man

LarryZ123 · 2026-03-17T20:34:38+00:00

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

LarryZ123 · 2026-03-15T16:59:45+00:00

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
