This video genuinely amazed me

I take care and think it wise to discern between causation and participation. While both “take place” and are “experienced” in love, they are somehow different.

​@@makingsmokesince76 The notion is quite simple, the intellect of the Father is his Logos (Son) and his Will is his Spirit, yet we must understand that the Father is Spirit and also Holy and the Son is Spirit and also Holy because they are the same God, Holy Spirit is the Person that proceed from both, not in the same sense because to proceed from a Father is not the same as to proceed from a Son, if your will proceeds from you, you aprehend that will through your intellect so that will proceeds "back" from your intellect to you so that your will is known by you. Now, to talk about going from the Father to the Son and then going back from the Son into the Father it's a very problematic notion since in God there is no time nor space so there is no motion neither dynamism in Him, so there is no coming back from no one, just an eternal procession of the Will and an eternal begetting of the Intellect, but the procession of the Will is between Father and Son, the Holy Spirit is the Person of the Love between Father and Son. This usually is badly understood as the Holy Spirit being subordinated to the Father and the Son which is nonsense, being the Will of the Father known by the Father through his Son does not subordinate his Will in some weird hierarchy of parts, there is no parts in God, the Spirit proceeding from his Son to him simply manifests the perfection of their unity. The Father Loves because he Wills the good of his Son, and the son Loves because he Wills the good of the Father, that Will proceeds from both, that love proceeds from both eternally in such perfect manner that is not just some lower wind that barely flows from one to the other but it's is a Divine Person just like the Father and Son are Divine Persons.

@@telosbound as in, all creatures come from one unicellular being.

Adam is not the Son of a Monkey, He's created from the Dust whom Jesus Christ breathed upon. The emphasis of Christ's genealogy going back to David, Abraham, Noah etc. Is just that, real historical people who are of the Seed of Adam. The age of the universe is potentially up for debate as is what is ment by a "day" of creation. But it seems self evident to me that as Far as Human History is concerned we're bound by that time line, which is roughly 7000 years or so. 🙏☦️

@@telosbound not Neo-Darwinian evolution but more of something that entails human life was inevitable even if you rewind the tape of life . God has his influence on it obviously . But does the orthodox faith allow for an allegorical understanding of the creation of story or does it take me out of it. It’s mainly because I’m convinced of evolution as a fact and inspiring philosophies videos also helped . It is one of my main drawbacks with Christianity honestly but thanks for the response .

​@jadhatem4563 You'd be really interested to read anything from Dr. Hugh Ross (astrophysicist) from Reasons to Believe. He believes (and proves imo) in special creation vs. Darwinian evolution but from the "old earth" perspective.

No. Death didn’t exist before the fall. And Adam and Eve were created apart from all the other animals.

That is a really tough question because there is so much baggage and presuppositions to work through with that, and is also a very sensitive subject to handle. To put it bluntly, people have all sorts of passions, so yes, you "can be" such. but lgbt is not a state of being, nor is being "heterosexual". Those became to be seen as "indefinite active principals" operating within people during the rise of Modernity, as Derrida correctly pointed out. It's a lot to unpack.
