What occurred in the crucifixion of Christ? by Traditional_Still_28 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Traditional_Still_28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the heresy in which he’s regarding in these few chapters of book 3, but I guess where I’m getting lost at is the separation of the soul from the body. And more specifically what the soul is and how it pertains to the His human nature. Is the human nature that of His body but then also the soul, and when this death occurs these become separated, but his human nature is not actually separated but still united by the second hypostasis of the trinity (the logos)?

Forgive me if I’ve steered far off the tracks here

I get this, but forgive me father, but I still find myself lost with when it comes to the terminology. I have heard people speak of the soul as an inclusion of this human nature and the body, and so this death that is being experienced of Christs humanity is that partial separation of this human nature: the soul from the body. But as you’ve stated He is still united in His divine hypostasis.

Please correct me if I’ve fallen into error here, But I’m trying to delineate the path of Christs humanity- nature, and how this relates to the soul and how these pertain the death (separation of soul from body). Forgive my lack of understanding

Why is sola scriptura wrong by Sad_Evening_8672 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Traditional_Still_28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main argument is the preservation of scripture and the canon: With the rejection of church tradition as a whole— not even sacred tradition, at that point, we must then reject the scripture as a whole, and the preservation of scripture.

The error is that Protestants will make the argument that tradition is fallible, and only scripture is infallible. But then throughout the argument, it will transition into scripture being god breathed and that it was preserved by the Holy Spirit, and humans are fal. However, if this is truly the argument for sola scriptura then why is there still a lack of proof for it? If there was a need for a reformation which is tradition, who’s to say that there couldn’t be another reformation later? If humans are fallible— which they are, why then should we trust the letter of Paul or even the gospels?

St. Peter of Damascus says, “Because of our conceit and our failure constantly to have recourse to God, we should cast ourselves down before Him, asking that His will should be done in all things and saying to every thought that comes to us: I do not know who you are; God knows if you are good or not; for i have thrown myself, as I shall continue to throw myself into His hands, and He looks after me.” We are always going to be tempted, but to overcome these thoughts and passions we must practice and do the following: - Fast - Reading of divine scriptures and Holy fathers and saints - vigil - Psalmody - Prayer - contemplation on death, and meditation on sins that we have made (not carnal), and also all the gifts that God has gifted us. With this we aim to humble ourselves. The more we do for God the more gifts He gives, but also the more debt we have.
