Thank you very much Fr Peter for your explanation on The Mistery of misteries 🙏

[@ProtestantismLeftBehind]

The resurrected Christ, His new glorified body, I cannot explain the details of, yet I believe, He rose bodily, as well as offers to us His body and blood, which I cannot explain, but believe. Ty Fr Peter.

[@infowolf1]

that glorified body is still a physcial body, like a ferrari is a glorified model t car. bad similitude but I can't think of anything better.

[@ProtestantismLeftBehind]

Father, earthly desires are attacking me, what do i do?

[@carltonsimmonsjr.5607]

Can you call or text your spiritual father? Maybe your baptism sponsors? Pray at your icon corner until you hear back from them

[@lolTakoz]

@ The orthodox church i took catechism classes at denied me twice after attending for 2 years now. so im basically still catholic, they were going to christmate me too which i was kinda upset because i want the fullness of baptism you know? also working out of state is difficult

[@infowolf1]

butting in here, Fr. Seraphim Rose said when evil thgouhts or desires come to you "change the subject."

[@totesmuhgoats4287]

@@lolTakoz god bless you and Lord, have mercy, I say this to you with my limited understanding, I ask you have you been baptized already? The creed states the belief in one baptism for the remission of sins.

[@lolTakoz]

@@totesmuhgoats4287 i’ve gotten baptized 2 times from the catholic church, one when i had a near death experience as a newborn so they performed a emergency baptism and when i was 3 years old i “officially” got baptized. but yet i still desire the baptism in the holy orthodox church, it’s like I NEED it.

αΐδιος (everlasting, perpetual, eternal). I had to look it up, thank you father.

Are you guys fasting the fast of Nineveh too?(Or is it only here in Ethiopian Orthodox?)

A sacrifice with the shedding of blood

[@robertsirico3670]

“Unbloody” is the better English translation. “Bloodless” literally means without blood. Unbloody means “not bloody”, which intends there is blood that is not visible. So… The Unbloody sacrifice is that which is mystically bloody. Kudos to the old Latin Catholics who way back before the Novus Ordo Vernacular, produced very good English translations of the Latin Missal so laymen could understand the Latin in the Mass. We orthodox have done a great job of holding on to the ancient liturgies but not so great at English translations. You don’t get the sense of it until you take koine Greek and Slavonic seminary courses with linguists and analyze the texts to see the problems associated with English language translations. It is incalculably difficult to render meaning in a less precise language than the primary. Greek has vastly more nuance than English… the gloss is acceptable for generalization, but not for specification.

[@butterflybeatles]

Why is the Blood separate from the Body? I mean, when someone is dead we don't see blood. We just see a corpse.

[@johnnyd2383]

But Eucharist is not Body and a Blood of a corpse... Where did you get idea in the first place...? It is living Body and Blood of the Lord. He is not dead. He is living God.

[@nikstrt]

He answered you in the video bro . The body we commune is the body of the resurrection.

[@butterflybeatles]

@@johnnyd2383 But why is the blood separate from the body? Isn't that unnecessarily gruesome? Why can't it just be a body?

[@butterflybeatles]

@@johnnyd2383 If He is alive His blood is not separate from His Body unless he cuts Himself.

[@johnnyd2383]

@@butterflybeatles That is Latin heretical thinking. They do not administer Blood to the faithful for the same reason you are promoting here. Read the Bible and note that Lord gave Body and Blood - both elements to the Apostles.

[@infowolf1]

the post resurrection body and blood of Christ is the same a His pre resurrection body and blood His resurrection was and is PHYSICAL but now He is operating more rom His divine nature than His human nature o is infinite as well as human ergo finite. ARE YOU DENYING CHRIST'S PHYSICAL RESURRECTION? IT SOUNDS LIKE IT.

[@Yallquietendown]

I think you misunderstood because Fr Peter believes in the resurrection

[@infowolf1]

@@Yallquietendown hehe is distinguishing between pre and post resurrection body of Christ. but there could not hve been any difference, merely a difference in emphasis of which nature He worked rom primarily. He is still human and physical, but also inifnite being divine

[@totesmuhgoats4287]

Humbly, as I have heard it, the post-resurrectional body and its functions/compositions differ from the biological body. You will be resurrected physically, but you won’t eat, you will not need to urinate or have bowel movements, you will be transfigured, it will be you, physically, but your earthly body changes constantly. As an example consider, God forbid, you were eaten by a cannibal, and then this cannibal repents and comes to Christ. Your earthly body became a part of his earthly body but now you are both welcomed into Abraham’s bosom and are resurrected in the flesh, how does your original body become whole again when it is a part of his body now? You will both be resurrected, fully, but in a “new” body, new physically, united with your soul.

[@johnnyd2383]

No difference.? After Resurrection, He could only pass through the walls, appear suddenly and disappear likewise, etc. Do you ever read your Bible.?

[@infowolf1]

yes but before the resurrection He could walk on water. all this because He is God as well as man
