Hey! I've read her book! I'm currently a catechumen.
I am.excited to hear this discussion. I hope you will have a Catholic apologist on soon to talk about the differences between Catholicism and Evangelical Protestant.
I first became acquainted with Orthodoxy through Dostoevsky's Brother's Karamazov. I drew a lot of meaning from the notion of theosis as expressed in the characters of Alyosha and Dimitri, during his imprisoned conversion. Evangelicals have a lot that they can learn from our eastern brothers.
So excited for this!
Looking forward to this.
Would love to hear more!
This was a very enlightening and enjoyable conversation to listen to. I learned some great things and nuances about Eastern beliefs, especially the differences from Roman Catholicism on Mary and how the experience of those who reject Christ in eternity does not fit into any of the categories of Universalism, ECT, or annihilationism. That the unrepentant could experience God’s love and uncreated glory as fire or something painful is something I had heard of but I had also thought that Eastern Orthodoxy believed this fire would ultimately purify or restore (through eventual acceptance of God’s love in Christ) the person who died without saving faith (I.e. Universalism).It sounds like they do not teach this.
She was awesome how she simplified historical faith ❤
I love how Christ centered Orthodoxy is. God willing I’ll be Orthodox.
Very enlightening discussion . I'm not Eastern Orthodox , but nonetheless , much of their theological thinking and Scriptural exegesis accords with how I understand the tradition myself , albeit imperfectly , owing to our necessarily finite human epistemic capability . Just one instance of perplexity in this interview though ; Dr . Eve Tibbs says that Augustine has the formal status of sainthood in the EO church , yet a couple of days ago on youtube I heard an Orthodox priest assert that although Augustine was venerated in EO , nevertheless he's not regarded as having sainthood .
In Genesis days weeks years were established from rising of the sun to the going down of the same with 4th commandment saying in 6 days all things were created. Praise the Lord.
My two cents worth with regards female priests. As Dr Tibbs says, a woman's abilities are not in question. However, during the Divine Liturgy (or the Catholic Mass) and the consecration of the Sacrament of the Eucharist, the priest is standing in the place of Christ and utters those immortal words "this is my body" and "this is my blood". A woman would not be able to do this but of course, there's plenty she can do. As God says, we are all equal in the sight of God, we just have different roles.
In a book called Torch of his testimony..there is brought out a tradition of christians that stood outside of institutional christianity
Thanks for this podcast. Very interesting. Disagree with her rejection of penal substitutionary atonement. I wished you would have pressed a bit when she said that she would follow her bishop even if he wasn't following Jesus. She said she would do this out of love for Jesus.. which makes no sense. Following a false teacher is not loving Jesus. How did you understand her statement about this? Thanks!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
If Maria was without sin, her parents were too?
To follow people in Christ can be tricky
Where is JESUS/GOD in your faith to conversion? Without Jesus no NEW BIRTH according Joh.3 etc
It’s interesting that she is critical of the changes in dogma in the Catholic Church, but the orthodox liturgies developed over time. I agree with so much of their theology but I could never join their church, because what is required is extensive prayers to Mary, including one third of their major feast days focused on her. That development in the liturgical life of the church is a major change from the apostolic and antenicene period.
Women do not preach in the Orthodox Church. The priest does that. Now a woman might give a talk on a particular subject on which she is an expert at some church function on occasion. But no laywoman or layman (for that matter) would ever normally give the Sunday Sermon at the Divine Liturgy. That is reserved for the priest. The rubrics clearly state this. Now in a Convent or Women's Monastery, the Abbess might give a sermon to her nuns and she might even do that on a Sunday morning. But usually even there, if there is a priest there to celebrate the Divine Liturgy, He would also give the sermon. Dr. Tibbs neglected to mention that the Orthodox Church does not use altar girls at all and that women are not permitted behind the iconostasis.
