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.

To: watchman (#31) Even so, ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Quite true. Protestants like to put on quite a show and pretend that they are Christians, but at the first chance they switch around and are ordaining women as pastors and holding gay "marriages". Does your Protestant Church already have the gay services, or are you still in the process of instituting them in your man-made modern denomination?

To: Orthodoxa (#33) Does your Protestant Church already have the gay services My protestant church does not ordain women, nor does it hold conferences with gays to discuss hymnography that “reflects gender fluidity,”... But the Orthodox do hold conferences with gays. Stop trying to pretend the Orthodox are against gays and tyranny's. watchman  posted on  2023-10-24   11:39:01 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   Replies to Comment # 35. #37. To: watchman (#35) That is a direct lie. The Orthodox Church does not hold conferences with gays. You finding 3 homo activists claiming to be Orthodox when at least one of them from your quote had already been EXCOMMUNICATED from the Church is not evidence of Orthodoxy supporting the Protestant Homo agenda. Your "Church" is completely man-made. It was created well over a thousand years after the real Church was founded and it has no historical connection whatsoever with the real original Church. You can read in the Bible itself that Jesus ordained His Apostles by laying his hands upon them and breathing on them. That is Apostolic Succession. All of my Bishops have a direct historical connection to the Apostles ordained by Jesus Christ Himself. Your "Church" has no such thing. It was founded in Europe or America probably within the last century by some Bubba just picking up a Bible and deciding that he could just declare himself to be the head of a Church.
