  • Hmmm...did Christ obey in all cases? No.

    For now preach I man’s doctrine, or God’s? Or go I about to please men? For if I should yet please men, I were not the servant of Christ.

  • Both the Nicene Creed and Ecumenism are false. One born of the other. Nicene creed...the manner by which Egypt and Rome overcame the Scholas of Antioch.

    Keep your friends close and your enemies closer...the real gambit of Roman Ecumenism.

    There is Baptism only in becoming 'twice born' into intellect and then thrice born in Awareness...not in daubing or immersion in 'water'...much less the 'mud' of the Roman Biblos.

    As was promised to Noah...not Water, but Fire next time.

  • The Nicene Creed states the Orthodox Church's dogmatic basis, "I believe in one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I believe in one baptism." Ecumenism rejects these fundamental truths of the church by teaching that there are many churches and many baptisms.

    The beliefs of ecumenism and the beliefs of Orthodoxy are mutually exclusive. You can either believe in the Creed or you can believe in ecumenism, NOT BOTH.

  • islam hyz real religien

  • We are about to witness a lot of changes in society. Our governments are teaching our children the future political agenda, no spiritual subjects. We must Teach our children the truth of Jesus. "speaking of faith there is not young or experienced man or woman"( min. 5:43). waek up brothers, God bless you all.

  • I dont like the insolence the person interviewing him shows. He interrupted this elder, I found it disrespectful.

  • pacat ... de chipul nemuritor al Lui D-zeu care sade in dumneata si pe care il negi.

  • elefant 9911, o lipsa mai crasa de cultura istorica si religioasa nu mi-a fost dat sa aud, fac pariu ca esti extrem de mandru de tine. auzi, inchizitie in ortodoxie...unde am fost in primii 300 de ani ? dar tu unde esti acum ? esti sau doar ti se pare ?

  • Christ desires Truth: the first councils were called right after His Ascension and the persecutions which followed. These Councils were to discern the truth of His Person, and that of the Holy Trinity from the falsehood which would destroy souls: Arianism which denied His Divine Nature. Other soul-destroying teachings came along: Augustine's pagan philosophy in Charlemagne's Creed (800 ad) contradicting the Lord's own words ("I will send the Holy Spirit Who proceeds from the Father"!).

  • Inchizitie in Ortodoxie? Scuza-ma, dar afirmatia e de-a dreptul stupida... In Ortodoxie nu a fost nici Inchizitie nici cenzura.

  • dragul meu, tu vorbesti la bascalie, nimic serios. Tu crezi ca Biserica Ortodoxa este o tendinta de control al societatii, dar crestinii au aparut la inceput ca persoane sarace si persecutate. Documenteaza-te si nu mai asculta pe toti "cultii inculti". In primele 300 ani ei nu aveau autoritate, erau foarte simplii pentru ca erau saraci. Odata cu venirea lui Constantin la Constantinopol(donatiile) Biserica isi schimba fata. De aia tu o cunosti doar de pe la 300 incoace. colateral detin control.

  • I know a lot of bad things happened in past.

    But we cannot change the past. But we still can chage presence and future.

    As christians we should at least pray for one another.

    If you do not undersand it, how can you call yourselve the disciple of Merciful Lord, Jesus Christ.

    How can we be his witnesses towards word, towards all unbelievers, when we encourage one onother not to trust other christians?

  • I am catholic and I must say - I do not understand you poin, people.

    It was Jesus who prayed for the unity of His church. And if we want to be called His disciples we should do our best to at least pray for the unity of our chuches.

  • But I understand you, it's very simple our point is: let all orthodox die, the Church lives on. We guard the first seven ecumenical councils, nothing more, nothing less. What did they say wrong? But some other's faith says something more, and this is what separates us. Of course we want unity, still we must guard what we received. God help us all!

  • Esphigmenou is a monastery on the Holy mount Athos.

    The fathers of Esphigmenou struggle against the heresy of ecumenism.

    Esphigmenou Monastery still under severe persecution, continue their daily prayer services.

    Items under EMBARGO:

    All food deliveries.

    Medical Supplies.

    Physician's visits prohibited (monastery has diabetic monks and heart patients).

    Fuel for heating, cooking etc.

    Search the Internet about this monastery!

  • Blimey you're right.

    Orthodox are persecuting other Orthodox. The anti-Christian nature of ecumenic "love" is clearly revealed.

  • The heresy of ECUMENISM states that there is no one church which possesses the Truth.

    The Orthodox Church believes, as the monks of Esphigmenou Monastery ATHOS mountain believe, that the Church has never lost the Truth or its unity. The Nicene Creed states the Orthodox Church's dogmatic basis, "I believe in one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I believe in one baptism."

    Ecumenism rejects these fundamental truths of the church by teaching that there are many churches and many baptisms.

  • But if we have many truths and "baptisms," are we truly one in Spirit and in Truth? We need to reach out to each other and realize that Christ has always wanted unity, not dissention.

  • I hope that Romanian metropolitan repents or gets excommunicated and defrocked.

  • Greetings:

    About Ecumenism with the help of catholic church, see who is involved:

    Christians, Buddhists, Sikhs, Muslims, Jewishs, Baha`i, Zoroastrians, Hinduists,

    Patowatomi, Neopagans

    and the list goes on

    Only Satanists is out because this would be too much, lol, but you never know.

    So blind!!!

    Peace in Jesus, the only God, true.

  • Crusaders were nothing but robbers and murderers that used christianity for their greed,or few who were religious fanatics that defaced christian fate nothing better than al qaeda is today..in siege of Jerusalem Richard the"Lionheart"slew thousands of christian, muslim and jewish civilians and catapulted their corpses into besieged Jerusalem...why do you think not a single crusade was sucessful?there is nothing in New Testament that could morally or spiritually fortify their heresy

  • I agree, only the West's twisted brands of Christianity could justify the crusades. What was even more shocking to the Orthodox was the existence of soldier Bishops and monks in the West. For the Orthodox, the idea that a priest would harm someone, even in self defense was then and still is unthinkable.

  • The major difference is that the Pope claims to be almost like God on earth.

    The Patriarch is only "the first among equals."

    Orthodox means "strict tradition." It is the original Church. Catholic was once Orthodox too but split away from the original Church in the year 1252.

    It is the Catholic Church that must reconcile with the Orthodox Church, not the other way around.

  • you're prejudicial.We catholics belive that the Pope is the Vicar of Christ on Earth.But the GreekChurch in AD 600s gave the Emperor of Constantinople greater power calling him Christ on Earth.The Orthodox Church were once part of the Catholic Church.History testifies that Ignatius' Letter to the Smyrnaeans in AD 106 contains the term Catholic Church refering to Christian Church excluding heretics.the label Orthodox Church was used only from the time of Great Schism around AD 1050's.

  • Catholic in the letter you refer to has nothing to do with the Catholic 'church' in the West. It simply means central, or uniting. You can talk all you want, but your denomination is and has been since the 1054 a heretical one. Only you pope's twisted brand of heresy could justify the inquisition, your popes having mistresses and children, the murders and persecution of Jews, Muslims and true Christians (the Orthodox), as well as your soldier bishops and monks taking part in the killings.

  • They cannot join the true Orthodox Church as a group, but a individuals. Otherwise they will twist, pollute and poison Christian teachings as they have already done in the west.

  • The latins just have a few heresies and the greatest of them all is their blind alligience and veneration of the Pope of Rome as the sole administrator of doctrine.

  • The Eastern Orthodox Church is the only Church. It is no different now than things were back in the early Church. The difference now is, back then heresies were spread by means of false liturgical hymns and such, and now it is the individual's interpretation of the scriptures that gives rise to heresy. In the case of the Catholics, it was simply a patriarch who altered the Tradition and took all the west with him.

  • No one can be catholic and orthodox at the same time! You should read the church fathers.There are many differences. But I know that the orthodox church become more and more catholic- that is the plan! When you can see no differences anymore than they will say let us unite!And St. Glicherie of romania said than the antichrist will come!

  • Is it so hard to follow not that what the churchfathers have written and said but that what our Saviour has commanded us to do. He said:"I commande you to love one another" John15:17

    He also said:"I´m the way, the truth and the life. No man cometh unto the Father but by me." And as I have understud the whole "thing" there are no others to follow but Jesus our God and Saviour.Can you please show me some differences of major importance between the two ecclesiastic traditions?

  • May we all christians go back to the belive of our forfathers who lived before the sadly "split".I see myself as both orthodox and catholic.We christians should more adapt to the commandments that our Saviour and God Jesus Christe gave to us, and less to those of eartly extraction."Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself"

  • It is sad when someone such as yourself who respects both sides and understands one of the most fundamental lines of the Bible is given a thumbs down. It just shows how little people care about the message of Saviour, and prefer to believe that they are pure and everyone else is evil.

  • "The Orthodox Church is evangelical, but not Protestant. It is orthodox, but not Jewish. It is catholic, but not Roman. It isn't non-denominational - it is pre-denominational. It has believed, taught, preserved, defended and died for the Faith of the Apostles since the Day of Pentecost 2000 years ago." Anon. .

  • the introducion of the papal calender was the first step to union!!Second they put chairs and pews in orthodox tempels,Priests shave their beard and cut theire hair(it is forbidden by canons),they changed church music,they even put organs in some churches..and so on !!!Do you see the catholization of orthodoxy???But they will not stop!!They will innovate and innovate until the faith is the same and than they will say why be sperated our faith is the same let us unite!!

  • And of course with ecumenism!The Panheresy of the 20 cent.Look how the oldcalendarians were persecuted.beaten, killed by the state and the church!!!!in greece and romania!!only because they want stay with the old calender!!THe orthodox churches persecuted their own brothers and sisters because they want not celebrate inn the new style!!

    Also this will happen with all traditional christians in the future!!

  • Yes it is possible that the pope become ortohodo!!

    But I think this will not happen!!What we can see from history and the prophecy of our Saínts and elders

    is that the devil hates orthodoxy and whant to destroy it!!Dont forget this!!First he tried by the roman ceasars,after that by the heresies,than he tried to destroy it with commonism and now with modernism and capitalism!!

  • Be suspicious of Catholicism with all your heart, for it has done evil in the past. But do not believe all is hopeless either. Do not take my word for it. I am not here for deceit. Someday if the Catholic Church has conciliar bishops in control, removes pews, has melismatic chant, destroys its modernism, destroys its heresy and its western people look for guidance from east again, consider it may be time for it to be Orthodox again. someday a Greek will be Pope again as Papa John VI was

  • Are you trying to say that I will consider all Byzantine people treacherous when Emperor Isaac betrays the German army of the 3rd Crusade(after promising Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa safe passage for his troops through Byzantine dominions on the way to the Holy Land,Isaac uses Turkish mercenaries to ambush and destroy the German army) in 1188?

  • But some orthodox churches today are getting more amd more catholic!!!Papal calender, chairs and sitting in church, shaved priests with cutted hair, people are dressed in church like on beach,the devil wnts that the orthodox church will look catholic and than they will say it is the same faith so why be seperated!!So please let us be very carfull!!Orthodoxy is very precious and not cheap!!!

  • afree, they are not orthodoxd at all, they are ecumenical=antichristian

  • agree

  • according to The catholic church there is no salvation, bla, bla bla

    Then WHY do the "catholics" want to unite with Orthodoxy? To make us like them? To destroy the church

  • exactly,...see movie godfather 3..I am personally afraid of every priest..God knows which is a real one!

    Catholic world is only money,money,money.And money,food ,security are going to be final arguments for the evil to fight with our believes,..maybe life itself-eternity-stem cells-DNA copies...so on.

  • Orthodoxy- Teaching the Truth since 33 A.D.

  • I love this father. We as Orthodox Christians are the only ones who beleive that the Holy Spirit precedes from the Father, as Jesus taught. We should be friendly and pray for these other churches but not abandon what our Saviour taught. God bless this humble monk, all my love to him.

  • I totally agree with you.

  • me too

  • The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. In John 20:21-22 (Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.") Jesus gave the Holy Spirit to the disciples.The Orthodox has only one side of the true Faith.That is lacking...

  • Read some more. Like the Holy Fathers of the Church, like Fr. Seraphim Rose, for example................

  • I stand by the testimony of the Sacred Scripture in that matter. Anyway, i will. At this point, I take the ideas of Augustine of Hippo, Anselm of Canterbury and Thomas Aquinas, who by way, are Westerns.

  • We know them. Make the acquaitance of the Eastern Fathers, too.

  • Fr. Rose is Western, too, by the way.

  • Same theologians that introduced the ideas of just war (there is no such thing in the Orthodox world, where even defense especially by clergy is seen as something that does not comply with Christ's teachings), as well as other poisonous heresies, the idea of Christ's representative, persecution and killings of jews (in England in 1290, France, Spain) and their escape to the Orthodox East, The assistance given by the Vatican to Croatian and other nazis responsible for killings of Serbs, Jews.

  • Orthodoxy or death. period

  • Yep!

  • according to The catholic church there is no salvation, else where and actually it is the religion the anti Christ is going to use.Revalation 17,18 pagan practices of Baylon is all it is

  • well, this is orthodox, so what is the relevance. Or maybe there's also a text for every other faith different from your own.
