I dunno, man. If you scratch a guy's car in a parking lot and leave a note instead of driving away, I think that your odds of salvation are better.
Both denominations are Protestant, so both of them believe that works/virtue flow from faith rather than producing it. What you are describing is the Catholic concept of faith through works, basically the concept that God has a karma scorecard for every soul that gets marked for each good/bad deed (so purely based on Protestant theology, you would be wrong). The real difference between the two is: does God's saving work produce your faith (Calvinism), or does your faith condition God's saving work (Arminianism) (see it as the chicken and the egg). A lot of debate about Calvinism and Arminianism stems from the difference about what is more important between genuine free response and Gods sovereignty.
 
No matter how good of an Orthodox Christian you are, you will never belong to the inner circle except if you were of the same race. On the other hand, Catholics are statue worshipers that serve the anti-christ. These are the reasons why you should become Protestant and learn from the Puritans and Calvin.
The amount of things in Catholic dogma that directly contradict Christ's own teachings is absolutely nuts, to the point you can't really call Catholicism a form of Christianity honestly.

The reverence for Mary and the saints and straight-up idolatry of the crucifix are definitely not in accordance with the base gospel.

Arminianism actually has free will, though. That said, we're in the wrong thread for this.

"Yes the inbred muslim trash may have raped thousands of young girls but have you considered their personhood?!"
>"Many times we don't recognize the reasons why these people had to leave their countries."
Sweeping blanket statement that asserts every single one of "these people" is a genuine refugee. Zero evidence, zero nuance, zero qualifications, zero introspection. Mush-headed propaganda, simple as.
 
Trump talking about bombing Iran again, the day after he invoked the Defense Production Act. Is he building up a second wave?

Trump says ‘back to dropping bombs’ if Iran ‘misbehaves’​


Trump invokes Defense Production Act for munitions, supply chains​

It's very clearly for China, Hegseth said Pacific com is back and they just asked for 122b in funding.
 
So any suggestions to solve the issue? Since you’re the expert
It's too late. Emergency conservation measures were needed the day the Strait was closed but that would've signaled that things weren't going so great with the war we started. Then we compounded things by encouraging excess consumption by rigging the futures market (destroying institutional faith in it too, another nail in the petrodollar). Things are going to get bad and will not improve by November. They know that so they finally agreed to all of Iran's demands just so they can say it's only temporary when it arrives.
 
It used to be, since it's of Russian origin while running parallel to ROCOR in a lot of areas in America. But the OCA has done a lot of work to not be that way. Services are overwhelmingly in English and have been for a long while. Pretty much every Orthodox church of varying jurisdicions I've been to during a service has been 80%-99% English.

Honestly, I think the ethnic in-group/out-group concerns in American Orthodox parishes are overblown, especially since the surge of converts and more Americanized children of immigrants in the last decade or two.
The OCA also absorbed a bunch of hippy churches and converted them into straight and narrow Orthodox churches. I think it was in the 90s that it happened. They ironically started attracting Slavs after the conversion, so you find a mixed population with a completely American priest.

ROCOR also has some purely Western churches for some reason. They literally do a reconstruction of the Tridentine mass.
 
Did you read what I said? Like, at all?
I answered very specifically why.
you just said you found it idiotic and subpar tactically, when reality has proven the opposite since it worked out for him personally and the full might of the zog machine is failing to punish one single college student upstart and instead whites are rallying to prevent zog from doing shit. if youre wrong it isnt sufficient to just repeat your wrong point
Sure, play the game on impossible ironman mode. That sounds fun?
why try and make it harder for them? or discourage attempts by other to make it easier? why is it framed as idiocy and not bravery? how will things ever change if no one says anything except on quarantined forums cut off from reality?
