Thank you for your work. I just now discovered Jeem Modernism in the Orthodox church. The energy you’ve invested, outside in the world Greatly appreciates it. I’m making small oil paintings for a book series & this channel is very helpful with staying engaged & maintaining a clear focus. Thx✨
I used to not like the dogpiling on St. Augustine either, but that was partly because of the way the critique was made. I think it's very easy to overreact against Romanides-type polemics and simply accept whatever Augustine said. You might want to check out Fr. Bogdan Bucur's critique of Augustine, which is a lot more nuanced and level-headed. St. Augustine'c actual errors are far more grievous than any of the petty and/or oversimplified critiques made by Romanides types.
I agree. The Romanidean types ignore that Augustine was deeply infatuated with Platonism and Manichaenism. All they talk about instead is how mean he is for ‘inventing’ predestination. Augustine actually hated Aristotle by the way, whom Aquinas claims to love. I’ll check out that source my man
Lot failed to evangelize the people properly. He was responsible for the destruction if you read Genesis slowly. He picked the fertile land of green while Abraham picked the quiet outskirt of the forest of Mamre.
Years ago, before I opened a page of Augustine, I had a powerul vision/dream: The "City of God" sat on a table with many other books stacked on it. C.O.G. began to levitate up then across the table, shedding the other books stacked on it as it went. Then, while levitating, it stopped over the top of the Bible and slammed down 3 times on top of the Bible. The meaning was obvious, and all the more meaningful as I later learned how very many theologians throughout history built on his work.

Jeem thoughts on josiah trenham and antiochian archdiocese?
Jeem’s cat trying to align himself with Garfield, the eternal feline form. Looks like Plato got him too!
Garfield Too

Why does neoplatonism continue to have so much influence?

Hey Jeem, who would you say is the gold standard of theology either today or in the 20th century?
What do you think about True Orthodox/Old Calendarist?
Are you in Illinois?
I wouldn’t say there were no righteous in Sodom. At least Lot was. 2 Peter 2:6-9
