Yes. In turning to Christ there are two choices: Monasticism or marriage.

Yes

Lots of great commentaries on the Gospels out there, no doubt, but this is my go to for daily devotional reading. Archbishop Averky also has commentaries for Acts of the Apostles, all of the Epistles, and St. John's Apocalypse. Highly recommend picking up the set.

Great idea

There is a piece of me wanting to revert back to being a gold bug 😌

One is not like the other. The priest in an Orthodox Liturgy when co the Holy Gifts: "This is my body broken for you for the forgiveness of sin". ☦️ Pro abortion feminists: My body my choice!😈 John 15:13 KJV — Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

It seems SI accepts the virgin birth of Christ so we would see eye to eye here. I'm not certain where he stands on things. In an earlier video of his he claims to follow "Nazarene Jewish Christianity" which effectively held the same views as the Orthodox Church, whereas in a debate video, he held an Arian view 🤷‍♂️ I saw he wrote a paper on "biblical materialism" but I cannot find it. If you know where to find it I'd look it over so I can better understand what he means by the term.

I didn't realize you held an Aryan view. My apologies. Are you an Aryan yourself or some sect of Islam?
