Daily reminder that I have already answered all your questions about the Orthodox positions on race, Jews, and nationalism (link in first reply). “The chapter on Orthodox and Jewish relations is worth its weight in gold...There is no book like this on the market." - Reader…
Mask-off moment for the attitude I’ve spent the last few years combating. Lord have mercy.
The council of jerusalem is irrelevant for Orthodoxy. And yes, we are a clique that believes Augustine is an heresiarch and Pelagius equal-to-the-apostles, and we're winning so deal with it.
It’s because *none* of them have actually read his work. Romanides’ dissertation is a 100+ page hit piece on St. Augustine and he demonstrated *zero* facility with the Saint’s teachings. Those parroting the former’s nonsense haven’t read or understood any more than he did.…
Reading the actual book now. What's wild is St Augustine quotes the Greek of St John, then translates it into Latin. The Romanideans have claimed *forever* that "Augustine didn't know Greek"! Yet here he is, reading Chrysostom in the Greek and translating him!

You will never hear an argument against “the Augustinian doctrine of original sin” that wasn’t first made by Julian of Eclanum before he was deposed as a bishop, exiled from Italy, and anathematized by an Ecumenical Council.
The council(s) of Ferrara-Florence spent years exploring the differences between Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox teaching on a wide variety of topics. If the West believed in a concept called “original sin” which strictly opposed the Eastern view of “ancestral sin”…why…
Original sin cannot be discussed without addressing the purpose of infant baptism and - especially - the fate of those who pass without it. This video covers everything from ancient Saints to modern Elders, synthesizing and summarizing the Orthodox teaching.…
Fr. Panayiotis Papageorgiou claims that for the Orthodox, there is no discussion to be had about original sin and the Theotokos since we do not even have a concept of original sin’s transmission or inheritance. Is that true? youtu.be/kRU_SwMXgEU?si…
What did the Fathers mean when they talked about inheriting guilt, such as St. Vincent of Lerins describing how “the whole human race is involved in the guilt of Adam's sin” or St. Gregory Palamas discussing how Christ healed our “guilty nature?” youtu.be/8T_5mhMsyQQ?si…
The final three theology videos will focus on Inherited Guilt, The Theotokos, and Infant Baptism. I will then conclude the second book of “Original Sin For The Orthodox Church,” making it available in all formats in late August. The paperback, hardcover, and kindle versions will…
As demonstrated in the “Canons and Councils” playlist, the Orthodox Church dogmatically affirms that original sin is transmitted from Adam to his descendants and must be remitted by Holy Baptism — those claiming otherwise were anathematized by name. But this leaves us with an…
Working on a big video. Hope to publish today but if not, should be tomorrow.

Having covered “sin” as a general phenomenon and “original sin” in particular, the next video in my Original Sin: Theology series will cover “The Transmission of Sin.” The Saints I cover in the video sought to answer the question of *how* we could inherit a sinful nature from…
Now that the “Canons and Councils” playlist is complete, I will begin to record and publish the Original Sin: Theology playlist. These videos will be longer, more complex, and will require more brainpower to understand but my goal with “Original Sin For The Orthodox Church” is…
