The quote from St Augustine at the end...i didnt expect that. Anyone evangelizing RCs should use great patience. The papal and marian dogmas are deeply ingrained, and to challenge them seems very protestant to catholic ears. It really is a matter of developing, as you say, an orthodox mind (phronema). And that takes a long time, 10 to 20 years even. But youre growing a new heart, brain, and eyeballs so be patient.
56:05 is like a man that builds his house on a rock - πέτρα . I wasn’t expecting that the “key” to unlocking the over used Petrine passage was at the end of Matthew 7! Most insightful.
At about the 35:00 mark Mrs.Constantinou reads from a book or bible quoting St.Cyril. I thought it was the Ancient Faith Study Bible, but it's not, it's also not the Orthodox study bible. Does anyone know what's she's reading from?
In Matt 16:18 Simon Bar Jonah is called the "Rock" and in Matt 16:23 Peter is called "Satan", now he can't be both, but if Jesus is referring to the different confessions as many Fathers and Protestants believe, no problem. Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Jesus didn't add any additional these descriptors or persons to his Son of God identity when he responded to Peter!!!!! He blesses him and confirns that the revelation of his identity is from His Father. He did not correct Peter. To say that he added additional descriptors or persons to his identity is not really accurate. The rock = the foundation. The identity of his true identity as THE SON OF YAHWEH and not Yahweh Himself is what Messiah will build HIS church on. It is this belief....this faith...this revelation from Yahweh! The danger of saying that Yahshua is EQUAL TO or the SAME AS YAHWEH in every way is to rebel against the idea of there being no Yahweh beside Yahweh that Yahweh explains in the Hebrew Bible. It is to rebel against Yahweh saying that this is my Son. It is to rebel against Yahshua saying that He authority was GIVEN TO HIM...that he has no authority outside that given by His Father. Yahshua sits at Yahweh's right hand...not in the same seat as Yahweh. We are to listen to the words of Yahshua which is to OBEY YAHWEH, but not put Him above Yahweh. The church as we know it has already done this, I believe, in error. Why is putting the Son above the Father by saying The Son is Yahweh? Because it's out of divine order. And the pattern that has repeated along these lines???---} The church has put Paul's words above and/ or equal to Yahshua's! Churches preach Paul every Sunday. We dont keep the Sabbath. When you try to tell the avg Christian what Yahweh and Yahshua ACTUALLY said ( or is recorded as having said), they quote Paul. And if not Paul, John. And if not John, Constantine. But rarely do they consider how Yahweh and Yahshua define themselves or describe themselves. The WORD of Yahweh working through the words of Yahshua is living water... it's life. Yahweh is the source of life. He bestows life to His Son. And through this Son of Yahweh, through taking to heart His words and obeying Yahweh, we have life.
And On this Petra I will built my Church.
With many Blessings to all and With Love in Christ! 🙏✝️🙏❤️
Petra is Jesus,

It's from St. Cyril's commentary on the gospel of Luke

Muslims say the same but if one confesses: "Allah is one and Mohammad is his prophet". How different are you, in that respect, form Muslims.?
Why does it matter. Yahweh is inclusive of ALL PEOPLE who bind themselves to His laws/ principles. Says so in the Hebrew Bible
