what the fuck do you mean!! it's a religion, and you need to respect it. i really think that what you just said was the most ridiculous somebody ever has writen. i really think that you sould open your eyes, and respect other people! take back what you said. omg..

[Philflash]

You make no sense! Orthodox Christians DO Glorify God aside from our great traditions. When Protestants gather for learning and worship, they would not have anything to discuss if it weren't for the first followers and the Greek language that spread the New Testament.

@bayreuth79: And I think we clearly can see the providence of God in our days because Holy Orthodoxy is all over the world now! From Africa - to Sibiria from Russia to America, Japan, China.....England ....everywhere...

There are also many miracles in Africa - where the Saints appear to those people and tell them to convert. Even many prostestants, baptists, etc...they all convert after many signs...

@bayreuth79: Her husband soon was healed. But she forgot her promise and stayed in protestantism. Her husband again got ill - horrible ill. She again went there to pray....St. Theodosj appeared again and said:

Your husband got ill because you did not keep your vow u have given to me - until u do not convert he will not be healty again. Go and convert and he will be healthy.

She went to the orthodox Priest and was EVEN BAPTISED - and her husband immedialty was healed. They both became pious

@bayreuth79:

In the live of St. Theodosij of Cernigov for example:

There lived a prostestant couple in Cernigove, once the husband got very ill and the doctors said that he will die soon. So his wife was told to honor the reliqies of the great St. Theodosji - she went there and venerated his reliquies. In the night he appeared to her saying: My daughter, are u not ashamed to stay in protestantism which angers God? Listen, I tell u - I will heal your husband when u convert to Orthodoxy

@bayreuth79:

4.) It is a mystery of God how he will save people who did not get the chance to know Christ or Holy Orthodoxy.

But it is not the "normal" way to get saved! We know it from the lives of the Saints, the Holy Fathers, ....

[adamantis4657]

@bayreuth79: Well that is typical prostestant- I will try to answer:

1.) As u see - (in discussing with u) I try to "save" protestants

2.) Orthodox christians PRAY unceasingly for the whole world to come to CHRIST - prayer is more effective than long discussions ( I think u will not convert because of our discussion- but I have seen that people converted after much prayer)

3.) I do much for all heterodox to know Holy Orthodoxy

[adamantis4657]

@bayreuth79: True love is to keep the faith, to keep Tradition - to give the orthodox faith from one generation to the next! That is TRUE LOVE!

I do not call protestants: My brothers....when they are the enemy of the Theotokos! NO-

[adamantis4657]

@bayreuth79: Also the 7th Ecumenical Synods states: Everyone who sets aside ANY TRADITION of the church - le him be ANATHEMA! - Protestants have set aside many Traditions - so u see ANATHEMA.

We are not hippies and never were the christians or the Saints. U mix up true love and sentimental love!

We have to love God with our whole heart, mind spirit -being! Not a sentimental love NO a true love! And we keep his commandments.

[adamantis4657]

@bayreuth79: YOU ARE WRONG! Kallistos Ware is not the "Pillar of Orthodoxy" he himself is a convert! Prostestants are heretics - there is NO QUESTION!

The Ecumenical Synod of Nicea was not the last Synod. Protestants do not confess that the Virgin Mary is in truth the Theotokos! HERESY - they do not give the honor due to Her and also not to the Saints.

Protestants are condemned by the 7th Ecumenical Synod - because they are iconoclasts! ANATHEMA

[bayreuth79]

@adamantis4657 You assume that some people are destroyed by historical accident (i.e., it is an accident of history that certain people are raised as Protestants or as Muslims, etc., and if such people are destroyed merely because they were unaware of the true faith then they do not go to hell of their own free will, but because God was unable to save them, or because the Orthodox are too inward looking to evangelize). What are you doing to save your Protestant neighbours? Probably very little.
