#stvasiliosthegreat #intercedeinourbehalf #wemusthonorthesaints *** St Vasilios the Great, Archbishop of Kaesarea in Cappadocia, was eminent in many ecclesiastical fields, including pastoral service, Orthodox teaching, struggles against heretics, philanthropy, liturgical development, asceticism and so on. He was a man of many talents and abundant gifts of grace, and a bishop whose passage through this life left unchanging, indelible traces. If he had left us no more than the Divine Liturgy that bears his name, which is his living presence and nourishes us spiritually every time we celebrate it, his work would have been great and admirable. #aka #stbasilthegreat *** #metropolitanhierotheosofnafpaktos #theorthodoxchurchintheworld #empiricaldogmatics #patristictheology

#Hell is a physical and spiritual fire that is the presence of God’s reality within a human being who has chosen to be eternally dependent on creation rather than on God. —James L.

This is the Patristic tradition—either you attain to illumination or you attain to theosis once you have already passed through illumination. Orthodox tradition is nothing other than this curative course of treatment through which the nous is purified, illumined, and eventually glorified together with the entire man, if God so wills. Therefore, is there such a thing as an illumined liberal or an illumined conservative in this context? Of course not. You are either illumined or you are not. You have either reached theosis or you have not. You have either undergone this treatment, or you have not. Apart from these distinctions, there are no others. #protopresbyterjohnromanides #patristictheology published by @uncutmountainpress #uncutmountainpress #empiricaldogmatics #stgregorypalamas #stsymeonthenewtheologian #metropolitanhierotheosofnafpaktos *** #bewareof #temptationfromtheright #ecumenismisheresy #clericalism #barlaamism #moralism #pietism #exopereoperato #monergism #scholasticism #canonicalsubordinationism
