Make “orthodox” universal again!! Take back what imperialism stole!
#AGAINSTJUSTINIAN

Justinian weaponized the word “orthodox”; claiming rights (™️©️) over YOUR thoughts!!

“…by a rough-cut barbarian, namely, Justinian.” ❗️

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead. It's pain only for others.

It's the same thing when you are stupid.

“Do not give what is holy to the dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them with their feet and, turning, shatter you.”

“..many ordinations do not proceed from the grace of God, but are due to human ambition.”

#AGAINSTJUSTINIAN #Clericalism #DunningKrugerEffect

Justinian’s ‘synod’ unilaterally branded and weaponized the word “orthodox”; turning it into a materialistic caricature of true orthodoxy!

they were the ‘Old Calendarists’ of the day!

Are “conservatives” (so-called) aware of their similarities to the group known as the Matthewites?
#AGAINSTJUSTINIAN

The term Matthewites represents a ‘family’ of schisms stemming from the person and ideology of Vicar-Bishop Matthew of Bresthena, Greece. His ideas regarding grace are extreme!

Vicar-Bishop Matthew joined the early Greek Old-Calendarists as an archimandrite, was consecrated a vicar-bishop by the three original leaders of the Old-Calendarists (Metropolitan’s Chrysostom, Chrysostom, and Germanos) in 1935,

but then broke away in schism from them in 1937 when he failed to persuade them to treat the New-Calendarist hierarchy of that time as “outside the Church” and “graceless” on account of the new-menaion innovation.

See?! This is the plague of Justinianism that sadly prevails

“Ministers” weaponizing church and placing a flag 🚩of “Orthodox Church”™️©️ on the ground of property belonging to the Lord, seems similar to Israel —among prophets—as demanding a king! They got Saul. 👹

“Whence is it that you found the truth, o, Plato? … I know your teachers, although you seek to conceal them: you learned geometry from the Egyptians, astronomy from the Babylonians, you received pious invocations from the Thracians; the Assyrians taught you a great deal. > 1/2

>And, to the extent the laws [you expound] are true and glorify God, you have benefited yourself from the Jews.”

—Clement of Alexandria, Protrepticus 2/2

Klement adds that Plato took up the doctrine of the immortal soul from Pythagoras, who in turn had appropriated this from the Egyptians.

Origen deplored Plato, who took pains to learn the languages of Easterners, thus, ‘instead of remaining a Greek’, he opted for ‘behaving as a barbarian in order to benefit Egyptians & Syrians’, wherefore he ended up saying nothing helpful both to those barbarians & to the Greeks.

#Porphyry did not see Plato as an authority, not to mention his loathing of Socrates.

Aeneas of Gaza writes with contempt of Plato having misused the knowledge he received from the Egyptians and introducing transmigration of souls to animals, unlike ‘Plotinus, Harpocration, Boethus, and Numenius.’

A reading from the Book of the holy Prophet Hosea (6:1-6)

Come, let us return to the Lord,/ it is he who has rent, but he will heal us;/ he has struck us, but he will bind our wounds./ He will revive us after two days;/ on the third day he will raise us up,/ to live in his presence./
#AntecedentCauses

Let us know, let us strive to know the Lord;/ as certain as the dawn is his coming,/ and his judgment shines forth like the light of day!/ He will come to us like the rain,/ like spring rain that waters the earth.”
What can I do with you, Ephraim?/ What can I do with you, Judah?/

For this is the safest way to protect the good things you enjoy: Realize how much your Creator has honored you above all other creatures. He did not make the heavens in His image, nor the moon, the sun, the beauty of the stars or anything else which surpasses understanding.

You alone are a reflection of eternal beauty, a receptacle of happiness, an image of the true light. And, if you look to Him, you will become what He is, imitating Him who shines within you, whose glory is reflected in your purity.

Nothing in the entire creation can equal your grandeur. All the heavens can fit into the palm of the hand of God . . . Although He is so great that He can hold all creation in His palm, you can wholly embrace Him. He dwells in you.”
—St. Gregory of Nyssa

We look at this Son and see the God who cannot be seen. We look at this Son and see God’s original purpose in everything created. For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels—

everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment. And when it comes to the church, he organizes and holds it together, like a head does a body. —st Paul
#Anaxagorean

He was supreme in the beginning and—leading the resurrection parade—he is supreme in the end. From beginning to end he’s there, towering far above everything, everyone. So spacious is he, so expansive, that everything of God finds its proper place in him without crowding./st Paul
