It should be known that the Antichrist is bound to come. Everyone, therefore, who confesses not that the Son of God came in the flesh and is perfect God and became perfect man, after being God, is antichrist. But in a peculiar and special sense he who comes at the consummation of the age is called Antichrist. — St. John of Damascus

The first Sunday of Great Lent brings us the Triumph of Orthodoxy.
St. John of Damascus: On the Holy Images
St. John grew up at the court of Damascus where he succeeded his father as the caliph’s chief councillor. He was educated as a Christian by a slave who was an Orthodox monk. A talented writer, he wielded his pen so successfully in battle against the iconoclasts that they slandered him before the Caliph, whereupon he was dismissed and his right hand cut off. It was miraculously restored after fervent prayer before an icon of the Mother of God. St. John then retired to the monastery of St. Sabbas near Jerusalem, where he continued to produce an inspired stream of commentaries, hymns and apologetical writings, including the Octoechos (the Church’s service book of eight tones) and An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith, a summary of the dogmatic writings of the Early Church Fathers. He died in 749 as a revered Father of the Church.
(On the Divine Images: extracts)
Things which have already taken place are remembered by means of images, whether for the purpose of inspiring wonder, or honor, or shame, or to encourage those who look upon them to practice good and avoid evil. These images are of two kinds: either they are words written in books, as when God had the law engraved on tablets and desired the lives of holy men to be recorded, or else they are material images, such as the jar of manna, or Aaron’s staff, which were to be kept in the ark as a memorial. So when we record events and good deeds of the past, we use images ….
In former times God, who is without form or body, could never be depicted. But now when God is seen in the flesh conversing with men, I make an image of the God whom I see. I do not worship matter; I worship the Creator of matter who became matter for my sake, who willed to take His abode in matter; who worked out my salvation through matter. Never will I cease honoring the matter which wrought my salvation! I honor it, but not as God. How could God be born out of things which have no existence in themselves? God’s body is God because it is joined to His person by a union which shall never pass away. The divine nature remains the same; the flesh created in time is quickened by a reason endowed soul. Because of this I salute all remaining matter with reverence, because God has filled it with His grace and power. Through it my salvation has come to me. Was not the thrice-happy and thrice blessed wood of the Cross matter? What of the life bearing rock, the holy and life-giving tomb, the fountain of our resurrection, was it not matter? Is not the ink in the most holy Gospel-book matter? Is not the life-giving altar made of matter? From it we receive the bread of life! Are not gold and silver matter? From them we make crosses, patens, chalices! And over and above all these things, is not the Body and Blood of our Lord matter? Either do away with the honor and veneration these things deserve, or accept the tradition of the Church and the veneration of images…
…Just as words edify the ear, so also the image stimulates the eye. What the book is to the literate, the image is to the illiterate. Just as words speak to the ear, so the image speaks to the sight; it brings us understanding. For this reason God ordered the ark to be constructed of wood which would not decay, and to be gilded outside and in, and for the tablets to be placed inside, with Aaron’s staff and the golden urn containing the manna, in order to provide a remembrance of the past, and an image of the future.
Who can say that these were not images, heralds sounding from far off? …Obviously they were not adored for their own sake, but through them the people were led to remember the wonders of old and to worship God, the worker of wonders. They were images serving as memorials; they were not divine, but led to the remembrance of divine power.
Some would say: Make an image of Christ and of His Mother, the Theotokos, and let that be enough. What foolishness! Your own impious words prove that you utterly despise the saints. If you make an image of Christ, and not of the saints, it is evident that you do not forbid images, but refuse to honor the saints. You make images of Christ as one who is glorified, yet you deprive the saints of their rightful glory, and call truth falsehood. The Lord says, I will glorify those who glorify Me (1 Sam. 2:30)….The Scripture calls the saints gods, when it says, God has taken His place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods He holds judgment (Ps. 82:1). St. Gregory interprets these words to mean that God takes His place in the assembly of the saints, determining the glory due to each. The saints during their earthly lives were filled with the Holy Spirit, and when they fulfill their course, His grace continues to abide with their spirits and with their bodies in the tombs, and also with their likenesses and holy images, not by the nature of these things, but by grace and power.
If you speak of pagan abuses, these abuses do not make our veneration of images loathsome. Blame the pagans, who made images into gods! Just because the pagans used them in a foul way, that is no reason to object to our pious practice. Sorcerers and magicians use incantations and the Church prays over catechumens; the former conjure up demons while the Church calls upon God to exorcise the demons. Pagans make images of demons which they address as gods, but we make images of God incarnate, and of His servants and friends, and with them we drive away the demonic hosts….If the Scripture says, The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands (Ps. 135:15), it is not forbidden to bow before inanimate things, or the handiwork of men, but only before those images which are the devil’s work.
The holy Basil says: “Both painters of words and painters of pictures illustrate valor in battle; the former by the art of rhetoric; the latter by clever use of the brush, and both encourage everyone to be brave. A spoken account edifies the ear, while a silent picture induces imitation.”
What more conspicuous proof do we need that images are the books of the illiterate, the never silent heralds of the honor due the saints, teaching without use of words those who gaze upon them, and sanctifying the sense of sight? Suppose I have few books, or little leisure for reading, but walk into the spiritual hospital–that is to say, a church–with my soul choking from the prickles of thorny thoughts, and thus afflicted I see before me the brilliance of the icon. I am refreshed as if in a verdant meadow, and thus my soul is led to glorify God…
(St. John of Damascus, On the Divine Images, SVS Press, 1980; 107 pp.)

Honoured as a successor to the throne of the apostles, the Hieromartyr St Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna https://blossom.primal.net/7ae1e5e9599619b4ccdc8b65257dbc41988129b991e56df9cc543eeec2c69c4c.jpg
greeted his arresting soldiers warmly, immediately ordered a feast to be prepared for them, invited them to enjoy as much as they desired, and then asked for one hour to pray by himself before being led away to his martyrdom.
“He stood and prayed, full of grace, for two hours, so that his captors repented that they had come against so venerable a man” (Eccl. Hist., Book IV, ch. 14,15).
St. Polycarp declared at his martyrdom: "You threaten me with a fire that burns for a short time and then goes out, while you know nothing of the fire of the judgment to come and of the everlasting torment awaiting the wicked. Why wait any longer? Do what you will!"
O Hieromartyr Polycarp. Intercede with Christ our God that our souls be saved.

I appreciate the honesty! What made me throw this question out into the NOSTR verse was the recent Shawn Ryan pod with Wes Huff. I really to admire Wes' work as a bible scholar and do genuinely believe he is sincere but he seems hesitant to go into any depth when it comes to historical Christianity... Which is bizarre given his pedigree.
I will admit that the "orthbro" stuff is or can come off douchey. I understand the zealous nature of it though as I am going through that new convert stuff even still

Andrew Edwards is a generational talent! I didn't think CROWBAR had a chance of holding my attention like King of Dogs did.... Boy was I wrong.
Jay and Al, exiled Rhodesian mercenaries near the end of their rope, take a bagman job for a man in black named Cohen. Launched deep into the heavy syndicate, Jay and Al navigate cutouts and cults, MK-Ultra and ethnomafias, and the shadowy founders of the digital era -- a dark journey culminating in an inconceivable collision of the criminal and spiritual underworlds. Part hardboiled noir, part psychogenic fugue, CROWBAR races at the bugged-out speed of the cocaine-and-cash-fueled '80s, as if James Ellroy mindflayed David Lynch into the arms of Dostoevsky

I know you do well at reading "between the lines"
I think Elvis, Prince, Kanye, and Bieber are all sort of scapegoats to the music industry and its controllers.

Its worth noting that the word 'symbol' is almost always understood as 'metaphor' in the materialist mind. It is so much more than that, perhaps in simplest terms it is best understood as "where heaven meets earth".

A reminder to Christians that iconoclasm is a heresy and is in harmony with both rabbinic Judaism and Islamic theology as both deny the incarnation (and divinity) of the God-Man Jesus Christ.
the Holy Icon of The Holy Fathers of the Seventh Ecumenical Council.
The Seventh Ecumenical Council, convened by the Empress Irene and presided over by Patriarch Tarasios, met at Nicea in 787, with three hundred and sixty-seven Fathers participating. The council ended almost fifty years of iconoclast persecution and established the veneration of the holy icons as basic to the spirituality of Christ's Church, expounding it from Holy Scripture, the witness of the Holy Fathers, and the examples of miracles in connection with the holy icons. It was not only the veneration of holy images that the Fathers defended in these terms but, in fact, the very reality of the Incarnation of the Son of God. This council closed the era of the great dogmatic disputes which enabled the Church to describe, in definitions excluding all ambiguity, the bounds of the Orthodox Faith. From that time, every heresy that appears can be related to one or another of the errors that the Church has anathematized, from the first through the seventh council.
