November 22, 2025 Day 1

Jesus, my Saviour I have so often deserved to be cast into hell how great would be my suffering if I were now cast away and obliged to think that I myself had caused my damnation. I thank Thee for the patience with which Thou hast endured me. My God, I love Thee above all things and I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee because Thou art infinite goodness. I will rather die than offend Thee again. Grant me the grace of perseverance. Have pity on me and at the same time on those blessed souls suffering in Purgatory. Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession.

Say one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and the Prayer to Our Suffering Saviour for the Holy Souls in Purgatory below

Prayer to Our Suffering Saviour for the Holy Souls in Purgatory

O most sweet Jesus, through the bloody sweat which Thou didst suffer in the Garden of Gethsemani, have mercy on these Blessed Souls. Have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

O most sweet Jesus, through the pains which Thou didst suffer during Thy most cruel scourging, have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

O most sweet Jesus, through the pains which Thou didst suffer in Thy most painful crowning with thorns, have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

O most sweet Jesus, through the pains which Thou didst suffer in carrying Thy cross to Calvary, have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

O most sweet Jesus, through the pains which Thou didst suffer during Thy most cruel Crucifixion, have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

O most sweet Jesus, through the pains which Thou didst suffer in Thy most bitter agony on the Cross, have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

O most sweet Jesus, through the immense pain which Thou didst suffer in breathing forth Thy Blessed Soul, have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

(Recommend yourself to the Souls in Purgatory and mention your intentions here)

Blessed Souls, I have prayed for thee; I entreat thee, who are so dear to God, and who are secure of never losing Him, to pray for me a miserable sinner, who is in danger of being damned, and of losing God forever. Amen.

No tech has been lost at all. Where did you get that idea from?

Thank you for proving my earlier point.

They should know what is required of them.

To obey US laws. Yeah. To interpret the Constitution for themselves, no.

Yarddog said:

Collateral damage which result in death to civilians will occur in armed conflicts but we are not talking about that.

The Coast Guard and Navy are highly trained in how to stop alleged drug smugglers at sea. They do it hundreds of times every year. Very few result in deaths. They know what they are doing and what is expected of them.

Now, because Trump wants to blow boats up, instead of stopping them and arresting those on board, we see murder occurring.

Anyone of those boats could have been stopped and boarded, to confirm they were operating illegally.

You're going to have to get the Supreme Court to call it murder, if you want any legal action taken.

lol How do you think components work? I even gave you the way out by telling you about the calculations for space flight and yet you decided to respond with nonsense. And now you are also a moon landing denier? Tin foil hat anyone?

You proved nothing other than you worked on components which could have been door hinges

And no, I do not deny we went to the moon.

I just found it curious that we lost the tech.

And, tin foil hat comment prove my earlier point about calling people crazy. And all I am trying to do is get you to admit that all you are doing is relying on "trust the science". Geez

In Orthodox theology, the Ancient of Days is understood as the Son of God, the second person of the Holy Trinity.

In Daniel's prophecy, the Son of God appears as a distinct figure who approaches the Ancient of Days.

However, they are actually meant to be the same person.

How does Orthodox theology clarify this interesting situation?

Click to expand...

Why would the Ancient of Days and the Son of Man as appearing in Daniel be the same person? God the Father is not a human being, so I would never use the word 'person' for Him in this day and age (that would cause confusion given the definition of 'person' in any English dictionary). The ancient of Days and the Son of Man in this passage obviously are two distinct beings/identities though - and that's fully Biblical; one can see the same pattern in Psalm 110:1, and several others ..

Working on components doesn't qualify anyone. Hopefully Boeing doesn't lose the information like the Government lost the knowledge to go to the moon.

Do you have anything to actually say about the topic of flat earth or are you here to just vent and rant?

I’m an engineer. I worked for Boing in the 80’s on components for the space shuttle. I know scientifically and by observation that the earth is a sphere. All calculations for space flight are based on a spherical earth. So yes, I know for a fact that the earth is a sphere.

Your particular phrasing has a specific cultural context which is not the subject of the thread. We suggest you go find a different, and on topic thread, to discuss that particular bit of anti-science.

We already received it by the grace of God through faith as a result of His ultimate sacrifice for the propitiation of our sins.

Whose? Explain.

I agree that Elohim can be translated as angels from the Hebrew. But the actual meaning depends on the context of what Elohim refers to. For example, God is not an angel.

I have no clue what you are talking about. Maybe you can unpack this a bit?

The curse that the Lord is referring to can be found in Deuteronomy 28th chapter verses 15 through the end of the chapter. Who are the reproaches that the Lord gave Israel to? "And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him. And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.” (Jeremiah 27: 6-7)

Not only did Israel have to serve Nebuchadnezzar for their transgressions, but also all nations had to serve him, and his son, and his son's son. As I stated earlier, as Israel goes, so goes the whole world. Who is Nebuchadnezzar and his sons? Nebuchadnezzar was the first Gentile world ruler and his kingdom was Babylon, which was represented by a Lion. Then followed the Medes and Persians (modern day Russia and Iran) which was represented by a Bear. Then followed the Greeks, which is represented by the Leopard. Then finally came Rome, which is currently in control of the world now and is represented as the wild beast or terrible beast. "Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them: I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them. O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help. I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes? I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.” (Hosea 13: 7-11)

Jesus is the king of Israel, “And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgins' name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, “Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.” (St. Luke 1: 26-33)

I'm arguing because people who don't "trust the science" are being characterized crazy.

Just admit that you personally do not know and that you trust those who tell you the earth is a globe.

Jesus boiled it all down to 2 commandments, the second of which is God's will for all mankind. Love all as self... kindness (not selfishness).

Click to expand...

Yes, kindness is not selfishness but it considers what is best for others even if it means being rejected by those we love.

ChubbyCherub said:

It is so refreshing to see this view put here...I think far too many of us conflate 'kindness' with 'acceptance' of sin and tolerance etc to the point where we have forgotten what following Christ means.

We are not supposed to 'tolerate' sin.

We are supposed to call it out, challenge it and guide people to Christ who loves them enough to see them OUT of sin. There are consquences to sin. God's kindness wants to remove those from us! He does not tolerate nor accept sin in any capacity!

I don't know when this alternative Christian viewpoint came from but it is unbiblical and wrong.

It's good to see that some still see the truth and endeavor to share it with others.

Thank you!

Glory to God. Thank you for sharing that with me. I agree.
