The post is a blessing sent to Ruby, an artist associated with the duo $uicideboy$, after a clip circulated in which Ruby, Cherry, and Scream say they have renounced their earlier dark nihilistic lyrics and cult affiliations. They identify as devout followers of Christ. One of them states a bucket list goal of saving 100,000 souls before death.

On stage he thanks God for the chance to be alive that night rather than dead in a ditch, and he credits his survival to the grace of Jesus Christ. He tells the audience he will speak about Jesus Christ whether or not the crowd agrees with him, and he acknowledges an Orthodox flag visible in the venue. He then recites prayer-like lyrics asking to have his soul washed clean in Christ's blood, to raise a sword against the enemy, to have his sins washed away by a mighty flood, and to be pressed out of chaos into righteousness.

The author of the post greets Ruby as a brother in Christ and asks the Lord to strengthen him to endure and remain steadfast in the faith. The post closes with the phrase Christ is in our midst and the Greek words Orthodoxy or death, followed by crosses and prayer bead emojis. The clip combines a public renunciation of the artists' former image with an unapologetic confession of faith before a crowd that may not share it.

7 opinions in the discussion I was a big $B fan once, but as my faith got stronger I worried I'd eventually have to quit listening to them because of the blasphemous lyrics and all that. Then the new album dropped… Read the discussion

From Tabernacle to Liturgy: The Old Testament Roots of Orthodox Worship

The post argues that many elements of Orthodox Christian worship, such as incense, the priesthood, the altar, sacred vestments, and structured prayer, have roots in the worship God prescribed in the Old Testament. It states that Christ did not erase what came before Him but fulfilled the Old Covenant and established the New, and that the early Christians continued in the apostles' teaching, prayer, and the breaking of bread.

The post argues that many elements of Orthodox Christian worship, such as incense, the priesthood, the altar, sacred vestments, and structured prayer, have roots in the worship God prescribed in the Old Testament. It states that Christ did not erase what came before Him but fulfilled the Old Covenant and established the New, and that the early Christians continued in the apostles' teaching, prayer, and the breaking of bread.

The accompanying video traces this line in more detail. God gave Moses detailed instructions for the Tabernacle, the priesthood, vestments, the altar, and incense, giving worship order, structure, and meaning. Jesus, the apostles, and the earliest Christians were Jewish, so Orthodox Christianity is presented as a continuation of the Old Testament into the New rather than a break from it.

In Acts chapter 3, Peter and John go to the temple at the hour of prayer, which shows Christian worship did not emerge from a religious vacuum. Written evidence follows: around 155 AD Saint Justin Martyr describes Christians gathering on Sunday to read Scripture, hear instruction, pray, and celebrate the Eucharist, and Saint Ignatius of Antioch, writing earlier, speaks of bishops, priests, deacons, and the Eucharist.

The post also points to the Book of Revelation, where Saint John describes heavenly worship filled with an altar, incense, worship, and the Lamb of God. Orthodox teaching holds that the Divine Liturgy is participation in that heavenly worship, joining the faithful with the angels and saints. The Passover finds its fulfillment in Christ, the true Passover lamb and eternal high priest, and the Liturgy centers on his sacrifice, resurrection, and communion with him.

The post closes with a caution: Orthodox worship is not an unchanged copy of ancient Israelite worship but a Christian tradition that developed over centuries, rooted in Scripture and understood through the fulfillment of the Old Covenant in Christ.

  • Incense, priesthood, altar, vestments, and structured prayer trace back to Old Testament worship given to Moses.
  • Christ fulfilled the Old Covenant; the earliest Christians, who were Jewish, continued in teaching, prayer, and the breaking of bread.
  • Acts 3 shows Peter and John at the temple at the hour of prayer.
  • Saint Justin Martyr (around 155 AD) describes Sunday worship with Scripture, prayer, and the Eucharist; Saint Ignatius of Antioch mentions bishops, priests, deacons, and the Eucharist.
  • Revelation's heavenly worship with altar and incense is understood as what the Divine Liturgy joins.
