Filioque, Neoplatonism & the Church of Rome - Jay Dyer 

Im posting my first talk on this tonight and I've invited Hoffman on for a dialogue/debate

iamawas plenty of articles on those things at my site

@@hap1678 do not compare saints

Did you ever find out? I think it’s Daniel

@@PaulaODowd yes he has identified the prophet Daniel elsewhere

Where are you at now? I’m a Calvinist who’s converting to orthodoxy

@@Orthodoxology Welcome home!

He would not do a defense of iconoclasm because iconoclasm is heresy

Iconoclasm is evil.

No, he wouldn’t now. And no it is not! I was raised Protestant. I know the arguments. Icons are not worshipped in the Orthodox Church. We venerate them out of respect. We look at them when we pray (but we don’t have to) just like we would look at a photo of someone. We keep photos (or icons) of saints, Theotokos, and Christ because they are our loved ones. In fact, they are ultimate loved ones. More precisely, Christ is The Ultimate Loved One!

Are you still in Hebburn? There are two Orthodox parishes in Newcastle. I attend them when I’m back home.

@@cheeseface6328 A rather silly reply!

@@david_porthouse Are you a woman?

@@cheeseface6328 All you are telling me is that members of the Orthodox Church are abusive nutcases.

Did you find a solution? I’d say just do your best to seek the Truth, I feel like God understands but we do have to struggle and strive.

What are you talking about? I am Orthodox, not gnostic lol

Jay Dyer Perhaps it is another Jay Dyer that I see on Catholic Answers that wrote By: Jay Dyer As some readers now know, I have decided not to become Eastern Orthodox. Though I confessed it for the past two and a half years and was a catechumen, I chose not to be chrismated, and thus not technically becoming Orthodox. I have, after much reflection and prayer, decided to return to Catholicism. I was also instructed by my spiritual advisors to publish this retraction. Let me say that also that this isn’t being posted as a subtle “challenge” to get Eastern Orthodox friends to spark a debate. I’m just not really as interested in that as I was as a 21 year-old Calvinist. I’m more interested in union with Christ nowadays, than debating every naysayer. Sorry for that.

That was me like 10 years ago, Has nothing to do with gnosticism.

And yes, I wavered back and forth between Rome and Eastern Orthodoxy for a good while. Then I took a decade to look into it and all the more became convinced of Orthodoxy. The fact that you think I'm gnostic really shows you have no idea what you are talking about, as this video is against Neoplatonism - which is gnostic. lol

Listen to my two recent talks on the Books of the Kings and tell me how gnostic I am.

I would suggest watching his debate with atheists. Matt Dyllahunty is one, there is another one with a guy over his head I believe named JP

Quiet, woman
