One Kamehameha and they’re all history.

Are we talking Naruto in Sage Mode with 9 Tails chakra? Because he could blow every one of these dudes to dust whilst punning at the same time.

And Ichigo in Bankai doing the Final Getsuga Tensho? Don’t even try it. He’s indefuckingstructible.

Am I the most enormous loser ever? Yes. Okay.

Goku wouldn’t even need to go Super Saiyajin to defeat them. A simple spirit bomb and they’re done for. I’d gladly loan him my energy and that of everyone I know to help.

Today’s Malayalam lesson was heavy. I have a headache now…

Story of my spare time…

Uni reading for this week.

St Basil’s letters on the Canons and the Canons of the 7 Ecumenical Councils.

This and subsidary reading from uni and a few other books.

The joy.

“An issue today is we only depend on Western Theology mixing it with Orthodoxy. Believe me, the most dangerous problem is that Protestantism wears black turbans to work in the Orthodox Church.

If it’s a Protestant brother dressed in a handsome suit you may reject his talk but if wearing a black turban he’s considered a father.  This is the worst problem we’re facing nowadays. People spread Western  ideas in the Church.

You would find such principles crawling in the Church. What would happen then? When one organizes a meeting all protestants attend it and keep shouting, but if he preached other words they would leave and his meeting would vanish. So they say it’s better to do so to win people’s favour.

Orthodoxy is Orthodoxy.”

– HH Pope Shenouda III of Alexandria (Of Blessed memory)

30 Day Orthodox Challenge: Day 16 — How often do you receive the Holy Communion?

God willing every fortnight at least.

We have 2 services a month in London and the other weeks I tend to go to another Oriental Orthodox Church (Armenian, Ethiopian, Eritrean, Syriac, Indian) to learn about the different traditions. I can commune at those also.

appropriate that “reformation day” is on Halloween

Ten points to Gryffindor if you dress up as Martin Luther and go around posting flyers on doors and screwing things up.

10 points to this post!

But enough Luther bashing.

The results speak for themselves.

When Reformation Day revellers bring up the Inquisition and persecutions of Protestants, I like to remind them of Luther’s ‘The Jews and their lies’

Whilst the Early Church fathers spoke against the Jews in harsh words, they never ordered murder or violence. John Chrysostom even said not to harm them, as God’s judgement is for them.

Luther on the other hand set out a 7 point plan of ‘remedial actions’ to wipe out the Jews in Europe in Chapter 9 of ‘The Jews and their lies’. These were:

1. for Jewish synagogues and schools to be burned to the ground, and the remnants buried out of sight;
2. for houses owned by Jews to be likewise razed, and the owners made to live in agricultural outbuildings;
3. for their religious writings to be taken away;
4. for rabbis to be forbidden to preach, and to be executed if they do;
5. for safe conduct on the roads to be abolished for Jews;
6. for usury to be prohibited, and for all silver and gold to be removed and “put aside for safekeeping”; and
7. for the Jewish population to be put to work as agricultural slave labor.

Yes, he planned forced conversion and genocide for the Jews if they did not convert.

Reminds me a lot of someone in the 20th Century who I am sure you would never think about celebrating…so why celebrate him?

He banned Scientific enquiry if it contradicted OT Prophets, he wanted to commit genocide, he went against Apostolic Tradition, he created doctrines which were against Scripture…

The only good thing I can think of is that he annoyed Rome. But is that worth going against the Apostolic Church for? No way.
