To: Charles_Byrd (#0) 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! watchman  posted on  2023-05-09   20:16:06 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #10. To: watchman (#1) 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.

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. watchman  posted on  2023-10-23   16:01:09 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #16. To: watchman, A K A Stone (#13) 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? x.com/MrOlmos/status/1666255971453390849?s=20 Orthodoxa  posted on  2023-10-23   18:36:44 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #18.

To: watchman (#18) LOL, try harder. You find a tiny handful of western academics trying to masquerade as Orthodox. They met in Amsterdam, why there? If faggotry was accepted by Orthodox like it is by Protestant America, why did they not have their 3 person "conference" in Moscow or Athens? Here is a mainstream Orthodox preacher. The Patriarch of the Georgian Orthodox Church invited him to speak at an official Church event to warn the Orthodox that if they let American Protestants have their way that the homos will be trying to groom their children to be gay.

To: watchman (#25) LOL, you are probably dumb enough to believe that Jesus Christ and His Apostles walked around in 20th century American 3-piece suits and carried KJV Bibles that had fallen into their hands from out of the sky. Orthodox Christian worship looks like the worship described in the Bible, while Protestant "worship" varies from looking like a college lecture delivered at a Marxist Gay-Rights college or a lame "I found Jesus and lost my talent" "rock concert" right before they have a Protestant gay "wedding". Biblical worship looks like this: "Around the throne were twenty-four thrones; and upon the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and golden crowns on their heads....the twenty-four elders will fall down before Him who sits on the throne, and will worship Him who lives forever and ever, and will cast their crowns before the throne." And elsewhere in Revelation, there are candlesticks, incense, etc. That is Biblical worship, and that is what Orthodox do.

A K A Stone  posted on  2023-10-24   7:44:08 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #32. To: A K A Stone (#28) And the Bible itself tells us that people can listen to sermons by Jesus Christ Himself and still be so blind as to not see Him. Their eyes were only opened when they received the Eucharist. "And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. And they talked together of all these things which had happened. And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. Jesus Explains the Prophecies Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread."
