Alright, let's cut the nonsense.
@Nicholai_Korea, I would be more than happy to set up a debate with you on PSA. No mute buttons. You can have plenty of time to make an opening statement, rebuttals, and arguments (as would I). If you're so confident on this topic in which you have argued against the Reformed, surely you'd be willing to defend it further?
Interested? I already know several people who would be willing to moderate. Everyone retweet this!

@JayDyer , What happened to the debate we agreed to set up? You accuse us of running away, and then pull this type of nonsense against us. This isn't even just a thing with Protestants btw. The Orthobros have acted this way against the Roman camp for a while now.
They know ultimately that they are fundamentally dishonest people and have to resort to this whenever anyone would give them a taste of their own medicine. Since they hide behind an ignorant audience of those who often are still in the catechumenate of the EO "church", they know they can get away with it.
I did a whole examination of the most popular arguments used against PSA here, especially with regard to the necessity of satisfaction. Instead of giving serious engagement with any of this, the Orthobros haven't even bothered to attempt a response (because they know that they can't).
When @ErickYbarra3 put out his book on the topic recently, a lot of them simply published negative reviews of it after only reading the introduction lol, or simply attempted to redefine PSA into oblivion so that they can escape the very clear and unambiguous testimonies of the Fathers and even their own post-1054 saints.
"But let us remember, sinners: if the justice of God did not spare even His Son, but subjected Him to the torments of hell, will it spare us if we despise the Blood of the Covenant, and disdain all that was so dearly purchased for us by our Redeemer?" - Macarius of Moscow.
"He was abandoned by His Father and given over to all the Justice of God, like the most terrible sinner, as an intercessor who took upon Himself all the sins of all men." –Innocent of Alaska
If these quotes were from Calvin or Vermigli, they would be chomping at the bit, and they know it.

Believers have no moral right to lament against wicked politicians who selfishly use the country's resources to fund their lavish lifestyles as long as we are comfortable hearing and celebrating preachers who do the same in the name of God.
We are simply not serious.
Acclaimed mature Christians will still attend "big conferences" where preachers who rate mammon over Christ will hold the microphone and be treated as pulpit superstars.
Even politicians are gradually facing the repercussions of flaunting wealth in the midst of an overwhelmingly impoverished nation, but there seems to be no consequence whatsoever for preachers who consistently mock God and the poor in their quest to teach the wretched doctrine of Balaam.
We are not serious yet!

Hate to be on this part of Twitter, but this reminds me of my Undergraduate Thesis—“Spectrophotometric analysis and quality evaluation of Amlodipine tablet formulations”.
I investigated 6 commercial brands of amlodipine, comparing them to the innovator brand, Norvasc.

This is exactly what I’m talking about. Nigeria want to copy everything from the Uk but can’t copy the Uk 🇬🇧 graduate job scheme.

If the West could be orthodox without the Byzantine outward signs of veneration, those outward signs aren’t necessary for orthodoxy.

"Experience has shown us"
I think this is a very slippery slope, there many anti-biblical things that experience has shown us.
When a Pentecostal says speaking in tongues is part of the signs that Jesus promised believers, sometimes the pushback they get is what about the other signs like taking up serpents and drinking poisonous substances?
As if to say if you believe everything is for you, why are you only speaking in tongues and not also drinking poison?
Well, experience has shown us that people who operate in at least one of the signs are more likely to see all of them in operation at some point in their lives than people who don’t operate in any.
People who speak in tongues are more likely to see blind eyes open and take up serpents on mission fields than people who spend time insisting that the signs are not for today’s believers.
So, dear Pentecostal, speak in tongues.
Speak in tongues for long, and if you drink any poisonous substances, it will not harm you.

The Gap between Hagin and Paul is about 1800 years.
If you say he is the most balanced teacher after Paul, there are many claims that you are making from this statement, an example would be that the church lost or obscured apostolic truth and that Hagin was used to restore it.

I’ve seen couple of people call me their friends and I don’t know how to say it to their faces that we aren’t friends. We have never spoken in depth before. I know nothing about your life, family or even work. None of us have been vulnerable to each other before. So how-
