Who said?

All I know is there was a picture of him on the St. Nicholas Facebook page recently.

I thought he did

It must have been an extended vacation

By the way, it's Antiochian

Only you care so much about jurisdiction

I mean, OCA has a lot of problems

Same with GOAA

do you mean GOARCH?

it doesn't matter that much
As a rule GOARCH might be pretty bad but you still find some great parishes
No different from any other religious group tbh
There are always gonna be some good and some bad

GOAA stand for the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America

Same thing as GOARCH

So I use the EOB app and it has 4 Macc. Are there any PDFs of this version online?

question
is Christianity more deontological or virtue ethicist

Good question, I see Deontological.

i see

I can see the argument of the virtue ethicist that the faith is the ultimate christian virtue and from there on it leads to the rest of the virtues.

He's a mason after all

Masonism is strong, not surprised.

I have came to the point where I just don't care about theory and just try my best to live a Christian life. There are always argument and debate, but it's the fruit that count.

You see, so many nannies went to heaven with just a rosary in hand.

I need a book on imprecatory prayer

Somebody has been listening to Jon Dave

but remember.those are for priests only

Is that even the same stance in Orthodoxy?

In layman terms, are those curses?

Because I do hope to become a priest and if I do will make good use of imprecatory prayers.

By the way, I heard about the concept of these prayers from Jay Dyer first.

essentially yeah if I understand rightly @Deleted User

When did JD mention them?

I'm just tired of people mocking Christ

Uhh

Let me find it

I just checked and came to 1 John 5:17-18

**1 John 5:17-18 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**

```Dust


<17> All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that is not mortal. <18> We know that those who are born of God do not sin, but the one who was born of God protects them, and the evil one does not touch them. ```

Arg, should be 16

1 John 5:16 (NAB)
If anyone sees his brother sinning, if the sin is not deadly, he should pray to God and he will give him life. This is only for those whose sin is not deadly. There is such a thing as deadly sin, about which I do not say that you should pray.

**1 John 5:16 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**

```Dust


<16> If you see your brother or sister committing what is not a mortal sin, you will ask, and God will give life to such a one—to those whose sin is not mortal. There is sin that is mortal; I do not say that you should pray about that. ```

So, rather than cursing, forsake those who are forsake seems more appropriate?

But of course if possible, always aim to pray for the conversion of them as those who pray for the conversion of us.

What do you mean? Forsake? You mean just walk away? Their mouths must be shut, they are causing confusion

I thought we are talking about "imprecatory prayers."?

But imho there is a point to stop responding to malicious speech as well. Merely seeing them will increase stress and negativity (which will induce a person to sin), and those who enjoy seeing them damned themselves in ways.
