The Catholics rejected this until somewhere around 1960 or something... now they tell their congregation to go to the orthodox for deification teachings...

The protestants carried over the Catholic stance on this but solar scriptura means they are oblivious to such things as the authors actual intent in engaging the movement

I know them based on their collective choices...

Trump is their hero... because he's a businessman...

Acts 4:32-36 is socialism
He hates it and they think it's the end of America
Gods country

Sorry, you are again broad brush condemning.....................and your interpretation of Scripture needs a whole lot of work methinks

Acts, Chapter 4:

32And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
33And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
34Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
35And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

Is not Scoialism. It is agape love. Socialism is a form of Government that has a Dominant Ruling Class that hoards all the wealth while only giving crumbs to the people. IF you believe that Christianity and/or Agape Love is Socialism, then IMO, you are in dire need of a "come to Jesus" moment, and serious instruction from the Holy Spirit.

Theosis is the orthodox definition

I accept this and uphold that it is the only conception of salvation that is actually tangible and real

Theosis (Eastern Christian theology) - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theosis_(Eastern_Christian_theology)

Theosis (Greek: Θέωσις), or deification (deification may also refer to apotheosis, lit. "making divine"), is a transformative process whose aim is likeness to or union with God, as taught by the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Byzantine Catholic Churches. As a process of transformation, theosis is brought about by the effects of catharsis (purification of mind and body) and theoria ('illumination' with the 'vi…


Ok, well, that's all I needed to know.........God bless, have a good day

You can drop the conversation or we can continue engaging.

No need to continue...........you might try Authoring a Thread on the BDF should you desire to discuss Eastern Orthodox Teachings.

This is NOT the Tread for that................

The Orthodox are the ones who spoke the language of the gospels natively...

The Catholics used Latin versions so there are flaws...

The Protestants start with a German and translate to English and others... again, not native speakers...

So I take the Orthodox as the truest Church, those who understand best.

I am not Orthodox though, I do not engage rituals or other ceremonies...

Giant icecream sandwich anyone? None for Gandy

We had pizza last night, but now I think I'll go warm some left overs up for breakfast oh look! I think a stop @ Dunken Donuts just appeared on my to do list for the errands I'm about to run

the only thing that could have put this over the top would be if his shoes were something like cheeseburger slippers

A hat to add to the food wearing guy



mustard and tomato sauce hat.

Bill Cosby’s sex assault conviction overturned by Pennsylvania court

I thought that he would not serve the full time and something would happen. We had a catholic priest that was very high up in the vatican released from jail after being convicted of two counts (or maybe even more) sexual assault against two boys
