Funny how the Assyrian church of the east and oriental Orthodox Church both venerate icons despite the fact they both reject Nicaea 2 and split from the church centuries before the iconoclast controversy was ever a thing, really makes you think…

"Ego dormivi, et soporatus sum, et exsurrexi, quia Dominus suscepit me" (Ps 3, 6)
- I have slept, and taken my rest: and I have risen up because the Lord has sustained me.
@VincentianYT Watch this:
-St Augustine is one of the greatest saints in the history of the church
-Late St Augustine was also wrong about unconditional election as his views are opposed to that of a major consensus of the rest of the fathers. St Prosper admits this himself
“Our hope is Christ, that through this little mountain which you see there may be the salvation of Spain and the army of the Gothic people restored.”
- Rotense recension of the Chronicle of Alfonso I, dialogue between Pelagius and Bishop Oppa at Covadonga
It took the Reconquista nearly eight hundred years to reclaim Spain. Don't give me that loser talk that it's "too late for Europe."
The next generation coming up is unbelievably based. They've seen what suicidal empathy has wrought upon their nations.
Never lose faith.
No Universalist ever started with the theology of the Church.
They started with how they felt, and then generally find verses and Church Fathers to cherry-pick to back up what they decided was true before they found those texts. They'll say it's the texts, but then easily ignore hundreds and hundreds of Saints that say Universalism is false.
A Christian should be reading what the true Faith teaches, reading the Scriptures and Saints say, and presume it is true. That is where a Christian starts. It might not be easy to just accept, it might have nuance and need explanation, but you don't start with how you feel, and if the corpus of Orthodox witness testifies against you, you doubt yourself, you don't make up theology to rationalize.
@RomanosOrthodox@fool2theworld For the record: Saint Augustine, in De Fide et Symbolo, says such iconography of the Father (sitting, with the Son on His right) is a nefarious thing to be placed in a christian church.
@OrthoAugustine Granted it's not dogma, but a children's limbo in hell (not Gehenna, up until judgement), since they don't have any personal sins, is not an wild idea. It's certain that Abraham, Moses et al. weren't in the same condition as other sinful souls, while all were in the same hell.
@dionysiusmaurus I just read him quoting this psalm on De vera religione. It reminded of that latin phrase: Beatus ille qui procul negotiis, indeed, of the carnal and sensual labors and images that keep us away from that holy otium, in which we can contemplate Essence through Truth.
