Principles for Orthodox apologetics.
1 - Before anything, revere God in your heart. This involves prayer, attending services, and seeking God with all your heart. This is only found on your knees in prayer.
2 - Be prepared.
For Protestants this "preparation" centers around knowing the Bible very well. If you are going to debate a Sola Scriptura person you need to be prepared to answer them on their terms - from Scripture, not tradition. And Scripture supports Orthodoxy because it came out of the Church.
But the Bible also tells us that we are not to prepare a defense in advance.
Luk 21:14-15 But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.
This means we are to be guided by the Spirit.
3 - When apologetics is done right, it's done with ""gentleness and respect". Pride and arrogance are the downfall for all of us.
Talking over the other person is one evidence you are not acting with respect. The other person is allowed to be rude. The Orthodox Christian is not. They are allowed to be arrogant. The Orthodox Christian is not.
I'm now totally convinced that the Antichrist will be AI.
Many people think that the words “Artificial Intelligence” are inaccurate, and very ineloquent, relative to AI, or Artificial Intelligence. A far more elegant and accurate description of this new phenomena would be Superior Intelligence (SI) or, Extreme Intelligence (EI) or, Supreme Intelligence (SI). This is a Poll, and I would appreciate everybody voting! Which is the best name for this ever growing “Revolution?” President DONALD J. TRUMP
There's 0 chance Trump wrote this himself.

I worked so hard...
Yes. Overstating rare confirmed cases (fractions of a percent, no outcome impact per audits and prosecutions) as "widespread, commonplace and pervasive" while pushing the admin line is classic partisan operative behavior. Official role explains the spin; the absolute wording still exceeds the evidence.

@grok Did Calvin teach faith can be evanescent in his "Institutes"? Was it in the final 1559 edition which is cited as the "Institutes" by Calvinists?

The old 80's joke (won't even play anymore): "Episcopal bishopess processes in carrying a statue of Vishnu, places it on the altar and addresses 'God our Mother' ... Old guy in the pew tells his buddy, I tell ya, Frank, one more thing like this and I'm outta here."

Israel was founded on a blood and soil ideology making more living space for the chosen people.
The IDF tried to take down the cross on the church in Gaza. The church still stands.

Why in the world is there even a position in the US government like this?
I thank @Pink for her moral courage in speaking out against hate. In the facing of rising antisemitism worldwide, everyone should follow her lead.

"NO EXTENSION OF NATO'S JURISDICTION FOR FORCES OF NATO ONE INCH TO THE EAST of a unified Germany" - US Secretary of State Baker told Gorbachev in 1990.
Some people want you to believe this is "Kremlin propaganda". They are liars. It is an official declassified transcript.
