Celebrate the Epiphany Anonymous 03/10/16 (Thu) 18:08:20 596b52 No.259822

>Orthodox Christians across Europe have celebrated the feast of Epiphany with icy dips in freezing water. The traditional date for the feast is January 6. However, Eastern Churches following the Julian Calendar observe the Theophany feast on what for most countries is January 19 because of the 13-day difference today between that calendar and the generally used Gregorian calendar. Above, an Orthodox believer dips into the icy waters of a pond during the celebration of the Epiphany holiday in Moscow.

Why don't Protestants celebrate the Epiphany?

Seems pretty paganistic.

Is this guy serious? If he has any interest in liberating people from sin, he would actual try to figure out why they are sinning. It's not like it's a lack of knowledge that's the problem. Like you're going to tell someone, "hey you shouldn't get high every day, it's bad" and they're going to say back, "whaaa? I had no idea! Thank you!"

I don't know. Tell me what you do and why? Any good sources on this tradition?

Eastern Orthodoxy is paganism. It can hardly be called Christianity.

>>260446

Easterners are like Pharisees. They are all to quick to perform outward expressions of religiosity but never inwardly.

It's why Russians need evangelizing too.

None of us are perfect. Frequently a tradition makes you revaulate and take stock if your faith and dedication. Fasying for Lent for instance makes things a lot more real in your day to day life.

I thought you were pretty reasonable in that other thread, but I gotta say that your memeing is getting a little sketchy.

>Easterners are like Pharisees

Bet you're pretty glad you're not like those sinners. :^)

>but never inwardly

And you, as an American Protestant, would know!

>oldes and most authentic

What

I dont mean to say rome is any older or more authentic, but the original church split in two and its pretty clear both sides were at fault (yet ortho split from the chair of peter and now have quite the fragmented group of territories if i may say so myself)

Oldest and authentic? Okay. So passing around the bone of monks is apostolic.

Your reasoning is that of a Pharisee. Who too believed they were saved merely because they descended from the Abraham.

Doesn't sound much better to think you're saved because you merely believe in a historical Jesus (which would even make Satan saved).
