Met Hilarion’s books have been some of the more helpful theology that I’ve read and so I’m grateful I get to hear his perspective on things. He does well with succinct answers.
Wait, when the devil tempted Jesus to turn stones into bread, it was for crowds? I thought it was to satisfy His own hunger..? I myself am a Byzantine-text guy, but I’m not aware of any gospel in any manuscript that says that. Is it that the text doesn’t NOT say that as well as a tradition (which I’m obviously unaware of) which says that there were crowds? I know I’ve seen archaeology programs where they go the that wilderness and it’s visible from some settlements nearby.
Metropolitan is somewhat controversial figure, some are accusing him to be a promoter of the pan-heresy of ecumenism, he references here Berdyaev who is also hardly Orthodox in his works... how the saying goes... if it squeaks like duck, walks like a duck, looks like a duck, then... it must be a duck.!
With all due respect, those who are accusing Metropolitan of 'promoting the pan-heresy of ecumenism' don't really know what they're talking about. He's made it crystal clear that under the current theological and canonical circumstances, a reunification of Christians would require an actual Divine miracle. See here, for example: th-cam.com/video/KdrhBkCMk4g/w-d-xo.html As for N. Berdyaev, there's absolutely nothing wrong in quoting him while discussing Dostoevsky's Legend of the Grand Inquisitor. Anyway, forgive me if I have somehow offended you and have a blessed Great Lent!
Thank you so much

I need to get Metropolitan Hilarion books. 🙌
Cool discussion. ☦️☦️☦️
Love these conversations, thanks for sharing them!
Unity, not forced unity, mind you, is more desirable than the notion of Christian progress through politics or voting

The greatest trick humans ever pulled was to invent the devil.
you mean the greatest trick of the devil was to convince humans he doesn't exist. FIFY
No, I meant it exactly the way I wrote it.
@@hunyuanzhuang78 I knew you did. I was trying to be gentle.
You're in deep trouble, actually.
How you know I‘m in deep trouble? What gives you the confidence to say that?
