Changes I will make to St. Sarkis, London when I buy it (a thread):
1. Remove all pews, add benches at the edges for the elderly
2. Paint all of the walls into icons
3. Introduce a strong dress code (headscarfs, skirts, no shorts)
4. Remove organ

It’s not. It’s Miaphysite.
We reject that his human nature was absorbed by his divine nature (mono).
We believe that Christ was fully man and fully God, in 1 nature. (mia).
This belief is much closer to the EO, and it is likely that the schism happened bc of semantics.
There’s nothing biblical with megachurch pastors having mansions and private jets, while claiming the Bible as the only authority.
There’s everything biblical with Orthodox monks living a life of poverty, meekness and charity.
That’s why you need the church.

Pills are gay.
Toothpaste is a scam.
Ever seen those massive Kazakh nomad tribes people?
Are they taking pills and using fluoride in their teeth?
Hell nah.

I think it’s also the quality of the fat that matters most.
It’s super healthy and needed to support your hormones.
But I’m assuming grass fed is much healthier and more nutritious
Transfiguration fast has started in the Armenian church. Brace for impact gentlemen.
(Going back to Armenia in a few days too, so will be there to break the fast on Sunday.)

I believe in one God, The Father, Almighty, Creator of heavens and the earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in One Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, the only begotten before all ages….
Miaphysites and dyophysites teach the same thing.
Christ is 1.
Mia define “nature” as hypostasis and say Christ has 1 nature, because the union of divine and human happened on the hypostatic level;
Dyo define “nature” as essence on which level a union cannot happen in a person
5. Bring back og candles.
6. Nobody comes into the church after “the doors” during liturgy.
7. Sell Christian stuff at the shop outside (icons, crosses, prayer books, etc.)
8. Have icons in the church to venerate.
9. No collecting money during service.
Many Protestants respect tradition and follow Christ.
Many Protestant disrespect the church that Christ established and the fathers evangelized the whole world with.
And it’s sickening.
It’s pride that their current understanding is better than 2000 years worship.
The housing market is becoming so impersonal. These houses have no soul.
There's going to be a rise in people wanting to rent in places with more personality over just plain white walls.

How is denying someone's divinity "utmost respect".
It's like if you claimed you're human, and I denied that and called you a dog.
Yeah, I love dogs too, but I'm sure you wouldn't consider it respectful if I respected you as a dog.
I love you as a human tho. God bless.
Only God gives us life,
And only God can take our life away,
If it’s not his plan,
They’ll stand cheering after getting shot 5 times,
And nothing in the world will ever be able to resist this.
In the end we win ☦️.
P.S. I do not want to push people away from church, but I’m of a strong belief that a church that doesn’t conform to people’s convenience will make the strongest Christians.
And yes, I know there are Protestant pastors that don’t live a lavish life, but I’m just comparing extremes here.
The Orthodox extreme is what Jesus taught.
The Protestant extreme is what Satan loves.
So many Nigerians I meet left the faith because of the heinous things pastors and priests in Nigeria have done to them and their loved ones.
My heart breaks for these people.
Pray for them unceasingly 🙏🏿.
@MagnusVigso
Absolutely mindblowing.
Do you mind sharing the study?
Does it matter if you take in capsule form, pure form or powder?
I mean I'm assuming the best is pure form, but damn it's expensive.
@GigaBasedDad
If done correctly, tho…
It kind of is?
Ephesians 4:2(GNT)
Be always humble, gentle, and patient. Show your love by being tolerant with one another.
(Though not every translation has the word “tolerant” there)

The one true Church functions by ecumenism, where a council of bishops would discuss and make decisions on matters of faith.
The Pope, in 1054, assumed authority to change the Creed, declaring his supremacy.
Aside from that, the Catholic Church seems to be too political rn.

Jesus is God incarnate. God humbled himself to a human being, so he could reveal himself to us and save us.
And as he said, nobody goes to the Father except through him.
He is The God, the same being, but a different person. That’s why Jesus praying to the Father makes sense.

From death.
Jesus came, died, and beat death so by accepting him, we are granted eternal life heaven; cus we become 1 living body of Christ.
Every time we sin, we are separating ourselves from him, that’s why it’s a constant cycle of sin and repentance.
