Patristic Pillars

Lately, we are absolutely overflowing with joy and excitement at the current Christology course being taught by the master Rev. Dr. Kappes and myself. This course has been nothing short of illuminating, powerful, and faith-strengthening.

As we journey together through the Old Testament and New Testament Christologies, and then march straight into the witness of the Church Fathers and the Ecumenical Councils, one truth becomes unmistakably clear: The early defenders of the Trinitarian faith did not bend the knee to heresy.

The fiery words of Saint Athanasius remind us that the truth of who Christ is—true God from true God—is not a secondary issue. It is the heart of the faith. Athanasius teaches us that heresy is not something to be politely accommodated, but something to be exposed, resisted, and defeated by truth.

May we never bend the knee to heresy.
May we always be bold, clear, and unashamed in defending the Trinitarian faith once delivered to the saints.
And may the fire of the Fathers burn brightly in us today.

GOD BLESS YOU, FAITHFUL!

As we build up to celebrating Christ's Mass, the holy feast of the Incarnation of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, we are reminded that in some of the most beautiful and awe-filled prophecies of our Lord, our Holy Mother Mary stands right there with Him—foretold, chosen, and honored by GOD HIMSELF!

As we prepare our hearts for Christ’s Mass, we proclaim the message of Isaiah 7

“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign.
Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and shall call his name Immanuel.”
(Isaiah 7:14)

A MESSAGE FROM MY HEART, FAITHFUL

I want to speak directly from the depths of my soul today.
I am passionately, unapologetically Catholic — and I would give my life for Jesus Christ any day. The fullness of the apostolic faith, the truth handed down from the Apostles, the faith safeguarded in the Catholic Church… I am convicted of this with every fiber of my being. And so is my dear brother-in-arms, ‪@shamounian‬.

But let me also say this clearly:

We love our Orthodox(THIS MEANS ACOE, EASTERN ORTHODOX, AND ORIENTAL ORTHODOX!) brothers and sisters.

We do not pretend we have no serious differences. We absolutely do.
But those differences should never blind us to the love of Christ, nor should they prevent us from sitting together, speaking honestly, and seeking a peaceful and holy way forward.

The Catholic Church and our Oriental Orthodox(as well as ACOE!) brothers have joint Christological declarations — official, signed agreements affirming our common faith in the Incarnation. This should call us to humility and respect for what our bishops and patriarchs have worked toward.

And today, we are pleased and grateful that the Oriental Orthodox have reached out and suggested a peaceful path forward. We have not hesitated to oblige. We have not hesitated to show gratitude. This is how Christ wants His disciples to treat one another.

This does not mean we do not plan to discuss Oriental Orthodoxy and Eastern Orthodoxy in the future.


We will discuss our areas of agreement, our areas of tension, and—God willing—the horizon of hope for unity.

Yes, we are still going on Roots of Faith to defend Chalcedonian Christology.

Yes, we are preparing multiple series defending the Council of Chalcedon in depth.


The truth matters.

Sound doctrine matters.
And we will never waver in defending them.

But defending truth never means abandoning charity.
It never means abandoning the love of Jesus.
It never means treating our brothers and sisters with hostility.

Let’s Be Warriors for Truth — and Lovers of Christ

Let’s be bold.
Let’s be passionate.
Let’s stand firm on the apostolic faith we have received.

Let's also be ready to ask GOD to heal His fractured Body. Because one day, by the grace of Jesus Christ, we pray that the whole household of God may be one again.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Faithful, a word from my heart to yours.

For far too long, I believe I allowed the cults and heresies attacking the Body of Christ to go unchecked. For that, I sincerely apologize to you. I should have been more aggressive, more vigilant, and more unwavering in sounding the alarm against movements that distort the Gospel and lead souls astray—such as the demonic Free Grace movement, the Black Hebrew Israelite movement, Mormonism, the Seventh-Day Adventist cult, and others.

By the grace of our Risen Savior, that changes now.

From this point forward, I am committing myself—fully and without hesitation—to providing top-tier, scholarly, biblical, and patristic refutations of these errors.

Many of you saw my recent debate against a leading SDA figure, the heretical James Bowen. That debate now sets the standard for all future engagements. Deeper Scripture. Stronger patristic evidence. Sharper theology.


I ask you—please pray for me. This work is spiritual warfare.

May the great St. Athanasius, the fiery defender of the Trinity who crushed the Arian cult, pray for us—that we may stand firm, speak boldly, and never compromise the truth entrusted to the saints.

I love You, Jesus.
Guide me.
Fill me with Your Spirit. Heavenly Father, fill me with wisdom.
