In mid-January, a large cohort of Eastern Orthodox theologians — nearly 400, from 44 countries — gathered in Volos, Greece. It was the largest conference of Orthodox theologians in modern history.

At the center of discussion were theological questions stirred up by the Russia-Ukraine War.

that our ultimate identity, that the church, rests not in Germany, not in America, not in our heritage, our songs, our liturgy, our history or our piety, as salutary as any of these things may be — but in Jesus Christ, in whom “there is neither Jew nor Greek,” in whom “you are all one” (Gal. 3:28).

Orthodoxy is trending here in the U.S.

Evangelicals are abandoning their clown show churches for a different experience and I can't say that I blame them entirely (even though they are entirely wrong before God).

"When Sarah Riccardi-Swartz moved from New York City to a small Appalachian town in West Virginia in the fall of 2017, she was searching for an answer to a puzzling question. Why had a group of conservative American Christians converted to Russian Orthodoxy...Riccardi-Swartz learned that many of these converts had grown disillusioned with social and demographic change in the United States". https://www.npr.org/2022/05/10/1096741988/orthodox-christian-churches- are-drawing-in-far-right-american-converts

My take is this: it's always easier to move to another church than it is to diagnose and fix the problem. Moving to Orthodoxy is not the answer. They're just going to find the same problem, but dressed in robes and dead tradition.

Orthodox churches are just as vomited out of the Lord's mouth as the dead evangelical churches in America, or any other country.

Stick a fork in us...we're done. Come quickly, Lord!

LOL, people are flooding to the Orthodox Church, especially the Russian Orthodox Church, because world events have made it clear that Protestantism is just a made-up religion used to justify literally anything, including being faggots and pedophiles.

youtu.be/WCfeRdCM21Y?si=Zk7h_jeGx7s27V-Y

As Orthodoxy grows in Russia, they will arrest homos and pedophiles, while American Protestant Churches are at the front of having gay "marriages" and promoting every perversion imaginable.

Orthodox Russia castrates pedophiles while Protestant America castrates little boys and tells them that they are really little girls. People see this and they see the end-result of Protestantism.

So thanks be to God, they abandon these dead man-made "churches" of the Protestant world and return home to the original Church founded by Jesus Christ through His Apostles, the Orthodox Church.

Protestantism is just a made-up religion

You say funny stuff.

I will give you this...the churches are fallen away and have been for decades. They are vomited out of the Lord's mouth, and they are sickening to behold. And you are quite right about the knee-jerk worship of Israel, especially by evangelicals (I am dispensational, evangelical btw). Their error is going to cost them dearly, namely the pale horse rider and following judgements of Revelation.

But know this: the orthodox church, like the catholic church, is dead state religion. Will the orthodox join with the beast system to behead true Christians? Probably.

Here's another PERFECT example.

Even in AMERICA, when parents protest against the faggots, it almost always turns out that the parents are Orthodox, because Protestants are all in for the homo pedophiles.

Here's a protest from Glendale California where some real Christian men beat up some Protestant homos. They were all Armenian Orthodox Christians, because even in America it's almost always just the Orthodox standing up for what is right while the Protestants just stick their fingers in the wind to see which way it's blowing today.

Does your man-made denomination already perform gay "marriages" or is that still somewhere in the near future for it?

Did you think you could keep your orthofags hidden in the church basement?

For another example here in America, who was the one hockey player who refused to wear the homo "pride" colors?

It was Ivan Provorov - Russian Orthodox.

All of your Evangelical Protestant pals had already started waving their gay flags and humping each other.
