Clichés are overused nuggets of wisdom we tend to ignore. Unfortunately, it often takes going through the experience to realize that clichés are overused for a reason.

@PrimeVideo I paid to have ads removed for @paramountplus in order to watch @survivorcbs with my family. I sit down to watch an episode with my kids only to have a drag ad come up. Lord, have mercy! Come on.

Are you saying that the Scriptures are:
(A) the Word of God (the Logos and 2nd person of the Trinity)
(B) that the Sciptures are the the literal word of God (as in letters and not Word as in logos)

In light of what you’re saying, can you help me understand when Christ says, “You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me”?

Honest Question:
What makes the persons who wrote the Bible infallible (i.e., Paul, Peter, Matthew, Moses, etc.)? Why are they infallible and not, let’s say, Polycarp who was a disciple to the evangelist John?
More importantly, what determines infallibility?
I never thought I'd be getting attacked for saying I follow the Bible alone.. and by other Christians at that

Both/and. Christ defined the boundaries. This is why we say to the Orthodox, there is no salvation outside the Church. To step outside the Church is to be step outside of Christ. However, for those not in the Church, we do not make a judgement calls, for Christ is the judge.

Not to mention, your choice of date is not without coincidence. It’s wasn’t just “another” Sunday for us, yesterday was Pentecost. Whether on public property or not, you’re instigating people on a holy day. You could have chosen any other service to come.

On Sundays, Clergy have more important, and frankly holier, matters to attend to than your attention seeking antics. If you were genuinely curious for a response, you would schedule a time to meet. I don’t doubt people would be willing to be recorded with the proper notice.

Don't get married because it feels right.
Get married because this is the person you hope to enter the Kingdom of Heaven with.

I heard. My sister-In-law attends your parish. I’m sorry that happened. How can you speak to somebody about obedience when they don’t even understand what that means? Stupid Internet sometimes.

“The Digital Orthodox Synod (a breakaway faction that had fused neural implants with hesychasm, claiming to achieve unceasing prayer through brain-computer interfaces) declared the Tomos invalid and anathematized Alabama.” — Grok

In one sentence, plainly state what you believe the goal of Christianity is and how a person achieves that goal?
