I am just a run-of-the-mill Bible-reading, church attending layman.
As a matter of public knowledge, I have a general blessing by Bishop Luke of Syracuse to write and to encourage people to become Orthodox and to make clear this does not mean any view of my own is blessed by him or is his, but rather they are my own.

Minor Correction: to post of 2/7/2024@6:47pm. It doesn’t change the context of the message but the parenthetical statement needs repaired. The problem is with the word apostasy which is commonly used as a thought on the term falling away as used in Heb6:6, fall away. Those who wish to find excuse for sinning, use the word apostasy in the terms of renouncing God, the church, and Christ, and place that thought as the thought that is being conveyed by the term fall away, as though it is something more serious than sin, and there is an acceptable, or easily forgivable, amount of sin that God allows up to that point. The truth is that any sin is falling away, no matter how slight , if it is done willfully after that the believer has received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. It is rebellion no less if it is committed with conscious knowledge. That is why Heb. 10:26 says, if we sin willfully. It is to be coupled with Heb. 6:6, for this reason. Sin is sin. There again those who twist the scriptures try to move the goalpost, so to speak, to try to frame an argument that there is an acceptable amount of sin, or that there are some sins that are more serious than others. The scripture did not say with lightness that this people draw near to me with their lips, but with their hearts they are far from me, Matt.15:8. And also, they profess that they know God, but in works (their habits, their customs, their traditions, willful sin) they deny him. Titus 1:16. If Christ is in you , and you are in him, where is an allowable amount of willful sin suggested in the scripture that says, in him is no sin?

Hello Mr. Truglia (you’re older so I must refer to you by last name), I heard of a person making forgeries about the immaculate conception in your interview with “TheOtherPaul”, do you have a video on this? It peaked my interest but I couldn’t find it sadly.
I’m not aware of forgeries on this topic.
hi craig I wanted to ask about the letter of ibas. I hear that some bishops at chalcedon accepted it as orthodox, while at the 5th council it was anathematized. I wanted to hear your response to this because wouldn’t this conflict with the infallibility of councils?
Thank you

Hello Craig!
Is there anyway to contact you such as through email or another platform? I had some questions about your YouTube channel.
What sort of questions?
Good Morning Mr. Trulia,
I was wondering if your book, “Fellowship with Christ’s Suffering: A Critical and Orthodox Interpretation of the Book of Job: Commentary on the Masoretic Text, Vulgate, and Septuagint” is sold anywhere other than Amazon. I have been unable to find it outside of that venue.
Thanks!
I found it on Ebay! Your feedback is always appreciated! https://www.ebay.com/itm/356750306342
Thank you! I was hoping to purchase it through a venue that gave you some of the profit. I refuse to get an Amazon account hence the search. I recently made a second attempt at reading Job and it is still almost incomprehensible, even with the Orthodox Study Bible. I read good things about your book on Twitter a while back and finally decided to take the plunge. I absolutely loved your documentary on early iconography as did my sister in Christ. Whenever the opportunity arises, we share it with others. Thank you for your efforts to Glorify God and bring others to Orthodoxy. As a catechumen, I am deeply grateful. May our Lord and Savior, and His most pure mother watch over you and your family.
Hi Craig, I would like to be able to adapt some of your articles into video format for a French-speaking audience. Would you give me your permission to do so? Of course, I would credit you in the description.
Go ahead
Hello Craig, I am an inquirer from Protestantism currently. Could you provide some resources for early prayers to saints and icon veneration? I would also appreciate any resources your recommend to someone looking into Orthodoxy from Protestantism. and maybe an email thread for some questions if you’re open to that.
Thanks!
I made a video that very concisely covers both subjects: https://youtu.be/6Pi7peb_pKw?si=OmTWss4Xk6Ds_PRi
If you watch this, reply back and I will send you 27 pre-Nicene prayers to the saints.
Thanks for the response Craig, I got the chance to watch and would love to see those quotes that you mentioned.
Hi Craig, i have been into Orthodoxy for 5 years but am living on the Big Island of Hawaii and all there is the OCA and i refuse to go back after seeing Fr. George serving the Eucharist a few years ago with separate spoons to his 501(c)(3) 14-member mission parish who he had wearing face masks all throughout the church service which is in an open-air pavilion.
After watching your video Is There Salvation Outside the Church? with Fr George Maximov i am reaching out for help : i want to get baptized Orthodox. What to do? I would really appreciate your help becauze the clergies online I have tried to contact got no response.
Maybe you can help find out if there any legit Orthodox priest(s) on island that can baptize me, or on any of the Hawaiian Islands?
I fully catechized myself and have learned some Greek at home.
1,000 thankz in advance.
aloha, Ted B
