Constantinople really is in love with itself - Change my mind

[Samn!]

Does the 1872 declaration of ethnophyletism as a heresy not apply if you throw idolatry into the mix?

Everyone knows that ethnophyletism doesn't apply to Greeks.

We Just don't want you to forget where the Archegos came from.

Bethlehem of Judea...

Bethlehem of Judea...

It's not a one time event! the baton is in the hands of those it was given to.

 

[Samn!]

Christ is yesterday, today and forever. There's no baton-passing.

 

[Tzimis]

Spoken like a true protestant.

I'm a little confused, are you insinuating that Christ was Greek?

 

[Stinky]

The Amish say that their Bible is in German because Jesus spoke German. How do you argue that?

Technically he was. If you go into his mothers lineage. She has greek blood.

Are you saying that Theotokos is Greek???

You were not there while He was telling us the Beatitudes. It brings tears to my eyes remembering the sound of the Holy Language of the Most High.

This from the same guy who typed out that Jesus didn't die.

Do you want to lose your covenant with God? Because this is how you lose your covenant with God.

Don't mess with our Ever Virgin Mother.

 

[ialmisry]

What Russians do you know that need a source for slander?

Since Samn and I are Arab, what Russians are you talking about? Or are you just slandering Russians.....?

 

[ialmisry]

Do you also disagree with celebrating the 4th of July? ...or any other national holidays, of various nations, throughout the world?

if it involves idolatry, yes.

 

[ialmisry]

any source on that?

 

[Tzimis]

any source on that?

Here you go.

 

[Katechon]

Losing communion with 75% of the Orthodox Church apparently isn't enough to humble athe Greeks atleast a bit.

 

[Samn!]

Peak Hellenism. Mr Panos, you have been surpassed!

 

[Tzimis]

I'm utterly suprised at how much distaste there is for greek nationals. I don't think you would treat any other nationality the same. I just dont get why that is. The only thing I can think of is because they are gods chosen people and your jealous.
If I was flying Porto Rican flag, you would say, wow what a great culture. I want to be Porto Rican. Hypocrites!

 

[Ainnir]

yeah, yeah, yeah. I know you're giggling behind that computer screen.

 

[Tzimis]

Well, lets see. Someone with minimal posts comes and starts a thread about bashing his Eminence because he is celebrating the 200 year centennial of Greek liberation from the Ottomans. The hateful eat it up.
Show there distaste, envy, and every other sin on record to prove there the Christians of admiration. Classic! And classless at the same time.

No one envies, despises or admires Greece. It's another Balkan country just like Albania and Macedonia, with its good and its bad.

That said, for a Christian bishop to act like our liturgical and theological tradition doesn't celebrate the overturning of idols and mock those who worship them is shameful, especially during a season when we sing: τὰ γὰρ εἴδωλα ταύτης Σωτήρ, μὴ ἐνέγκαντά σου τὴν ἰσχὺν πέπτωκεν...

Greeks, Jew wannabes.

And your people are like the actors in the movie total recall.

Dude, You really think the Archbishop is an idol worshipper? Get a hold of yourself. Yes, its part of a culture because many great advances in philosophy, sciences and math came from that era. So its still worthy of honor. At least for those that understand it.

Don't be envious just because you don't have hot dwarves and three-breasted women everywhere.

Wait a mo ~ do we have a problem with Greeks ~ they're our Brothers and sisters ~ Long live our Greek Brothers ```

I don't know if it came through to you yet: you and your people are about to be grafted out (as I said, you already lost communion with 75% of the Orthodox Church). And your shameful display of prideful dishonesty gives a good example on why that is.

 

[Tzimis]

You never watched 300? We have Persian sex slaves and orgies.

I dont mind being grafted out of the likes of German fascists nazi's, pretending to be mother Theresa.

Sorry, forgeries don't count. Btw, what is the gibberish supposed to say/represent?

LOL. You should visit Ukrainian village and ask that

You're projecting.
I am sure you don't "get what that is." You Phanariots never did understand why we did NOT want to be Greeks.

 

[ialmisry]

?
I recall in the movie the Persians had the sex slaves and orgies. The Greeks had the traitors, inbred genetic rejects and scammers for priests.

 

[ialmisry]

Just to show that not all Greeks are gulping down Kool Aid at the Baccanalia: [the future] Pope Christopher of Alexandria, himself a Greek, on the Phanar's folly-

The Position of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in the Orthodox Church (1924) - Orthodox History

The remarkable article that follows was written by then-Metropolitan Christophoros of Leontopolis (future Patriarch Christophoros II of Alexandria) in 1924, and was published in Paintanos, an official organ of the Patriarchate of Alexandria, and then translated into French and published in the...

We now have confirmation that God is a Greek Orthodox Christian

God's chosen people? If I'm not interpreting your passage wrong, you're saying that God's chosen people are the Greek people? I thought no ethnicity existed under God ("there is no Jew, nor Greek, etc").
