Let's discuss the literary works of one of Lucifer's strongest agents (besides Marx, Nietzsche, Martin Luther, and pretty much all the post-Ockham German intelligentsia): San Diego homosexual and junkie Eugene Dennis Rose (aka. Seraphim Rose).
As most educated Christians should know by now, this neo-pagan sodomite co-opted the Russian Orthodox Church of America, and brought the teachings of the devil to it. Although he currently resides in hell with his true master, his literary works have taken a toll on the contemporary groups of Christians, specially of strayed Evangelicals who seek meaning and community in fringe Internet cliques.
To these boys, Seraphim Roses preaches, from the grave, conceitedness and combativeness against their fellow Christians---a true scandalizer, one could say.
The holy trinity, according to the teachings of Seraphim Rose, goes as follow:
>The Father
Which is Satan himself
>The Son
Which is Rose
>The Holy Spirit
Which is homosexuality
His communion is drugs.
Sounds rad man where do I sign up
Just go to Twitter, LARP as a ortho-bro, get assfricked, and read this book:
i like st michael's very thin spear poking the devil in the eye
Rose will probably be canonized by the church so seethe harder I guess.
Yeah, by the "church" of Satan.
>luficer's agent
Yet you describe the humble priest as
>San Diego homosexual and junkie Eugene Dennis Rose (aka. Seraphim Rose).
Down playing the restorative possibilities God can have on a man's soul
>neo-pagan sodomite co-opted the Russian Orthodox Church of America
Baselessly slandering ROCOR
And the rest of your post is just whining about a priest teaching Orthodoxy
>Down playing the restorative possibilities God can have on a man's soul
The only thing I'm downplaying is the truthfulness of his "conversion" to any form of Christianity.
Could please explain in detail what you have against Seraphim Rose.
I won't speak anymore with you, as you'll distort my words once again and attempt to use them against me. You've already revealed the demonic origin of your rhetoric. The disciples of Rose shouldn't be argued with, but rather slaughtered by the sword of Jesus' might---pack of swindlers, vermin, and scandalizers.
>Makes slanderous and ridiculous statements about a figure most people like
>Won't elaborate and just expect people to understand what you're talking about
>aaaah people disagreeing with me??? Is that a DEMON??
>GUN JESUS HELP MEEEEEEEE
>Down playing the restorative possibilities God can have on a man's soul
You speak as the devil does: with lies and distortion of the truth. You put in my mouth words I never spoke. Truly a disciple of Satan.
Rose just strikes me as new agey 60s hippie bullshit but it took the form of Eastern Christianity rather than stupid George Harrison Hinduism pajeet shit as was more common among the new agers of the time.
Maybe he said some good things. He probably also internalized a lot of bullshit from his mentor, level 99 bullshit-peddler Alan Watts.
according to you types, Paul was never a Christian
What's his most outrageous and/or blasphemous belief or statement? I don't know anything about him.
I have no idea what OP is trying to imply with his statement
I guess he's calling him a grifter
Fr. Seraphim Rose's toll-house theory deviates from Orthodox teachings by suggesting that demons play a crucial role in judging the soul's fitness for heaven, a concept not supported by scripture or the teachings of the Church Fathers. By likening the soul's ascent to passing through demonic spheres, Rose's theory echoes elements of Gnostic cosmology, where souls must navigate through various celestial realms and overcome obstacles to reach the divine. This departure from traditional Orthodox doctrine raises concerns about the source and legitimacy of Rose's beliefs, indicating a potential influence from Gnostic ideas rather than orthodox Christian theology.
His adaptation of the toll-house theory aligns with certain aspects of Gnostic eschatology, such as the belief in intermediary realms and celestial beings influencing the soul's journey. His emphasis on the importance of secret knowledge (gnosis) and the role of rituals and prayers in aiding the soul's passage bears resemblance to Gnostic practices aimed at spiritual liberation. This blending of Orthodox theology with Gnostic elements raises questions about the authenticity and compatibility of Rose's teachings within the framework of traditional Christianity, highlighting the need for discernment and adherence to established doctrinal principles.
This "secret knowledge" stuff is one of the elements of his teaching that makes him the most attractive to many young people of these days.
Well you could have started with that instead post nonsensical babble

NTA but another catholic here. Toll house theory resembles a lot of earlier astrological beliefs of questionable orthodoxy but which have always been rather popular particularly in medieval and ancient world.
However, it is readily apparent that Seraphim Rose is a grifter. I respect Orthodoxy but he is basically the JBP of the Orthodox Church. Then again, there are many grifters even within the holy Catholic church. I suppose maybe it is not so bad if it leads some lost folx to Jesus regardless. I just worry many become prelests thereafter rather than sincere converts.
>but he is basically the JBP of the Orthodox Church
What do you mean by this? How is he like Peterson?
He's a magnet for rootless Americans in the market for a new cultural daddy
OK so he appeals to rootless adolescents. What about this do you feel is bad in itself?
>what's wrong with being a groomer
Hmmm
Because they're invariably attracted to kitschy polemics. I don't know of a single American personality in these spheres now who doesn't betray their Americanness, no matter how rigorous. A certain cartoonish quality in how they perceive the world, like Rose calling yoga demonic.
>How is he like Peterson?
he hates trannies and writes books
He's to ortholarping what Alan Watts is for buddhistlarping
Gnosticism is true anyway
>highlighting the need for discernment and adherence to established doctrinal principles.
Adhering/blindly conforming to 2000 year old institutional dogma is one of the hallmarks of the spiritually undeveloped. I love you brother but you need to learn to think for yourself and question authority instead of being a bible bashing, icon worshipping lemming of the demiurge. Peace brother.
>thinking for yourself and questioning authority is spiritual development
American moment
you could just have said that he was american, why all this seething autism?
>the toll-house theory
is this related to women who frick Black folk?

>Fr. Rose's lascivious past
Wait until you hear about Sts. Augustine and Paul...
Neither were homosexuals or druggies
This thread again? You got btfo last time I saw you post it and "admitted" (read: coped) thay its just to frick with people.
There's a strong demonic energy emanating from this picture. I'll call my local bishop to see if an exorcism of this thread is necessary.
>like Rose calling yoga demonic.
From all the things he said, that was one of the only ones that were true. We know for a fact that the demons who possessed entered his body through Rose's parctice of yoga, drug usage, and homosexual activities. Perhaps that was a glimps of the real soul of Rose trying to warn us.
schizo
>americans can't even do a couple of asanas without sodomizing each other
It's over.
>We know for a fact that the demons who possessed entered his body through Rose's parctice of yoga, drug usage, and homosexual activities.
i think it was mostly from all that cum in his ass
He was gay before he became a monk, and like all monks pledged celibacy. He's not the first nor last monk to be gay when he was living a secular life. Most of the writings I've read of him are entirely Christian.
I'm Orthodox and I've never read him. No plans to as I am not a convert but he seems to help them so I have nothing against him.
