Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God."<BR/><BR/>There is the Orthodox Church and there is the World Orthodox Church who has become apostate. There can be no communion or ethos with the later. I "hate" what God hates and "love" what He loves.JTO Editor Nathan Lee Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508044089049795771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27046650.post-73924974059924957012009-03-31T00:16:00.000-05:002009-03-31T00:16:00.000-05:00Dear Brother,I am pleased to see that you have pos...Dear Brother,<BR/><BR/>I am pleased to see that you have posted what you have posted on the accursed World Council of Churches and the relationship it has to Orthodox churches. It is shameful to see Orthodox Church hierarchs participating in such abominations. In fact, even if it is a Patriarch, like Bartholomew who goes astray and leads others to perdition, we are not to submit to this wickedness and urge our leaders to seriously repent of this or else the Grace of God has been withdrawn from them.<BR/><BR/>In fact, when hierarchs such as Bartholomew and others like them go astray and lead others to perdition, the Church of God cannot help but pronounce on such people: "Anathema! Maranatha!" What is even more shameful is to see such people promoting not so much heterodox Christians, but rather promoting outright modernists and total Christ-rejecters such as Muslims and unbelieving Jews. To put Christianity on the same level as other religions makes a liar of our Lord Jesus Christ who clearly called Himself the Way, the Truth and the Life. It also makes a mockery of Christ's death and resurrection, which we celebrate as Christians, since it renders Christ's death and resurrection for our salvation as invalid and makes out as if Christ died in vain. Woe be upon such for it is better that a millstone was tied around their neck and be cast into the sea rather than they offend one of the little ones.<BR/><BR/>Even when I was a Fundamental Baptist, I knew that ecumenism was and is abominable since it is filled with modernists and Christ-deniers. As an Orthodox, I can reject ecumenism even further and urge all genuine minded Christian leaders, whether Orthodox or non-Orthodox, to reject ecumenism and the World Council of Churches. Ecumenism is part of Mystery Babylon and is a precursor for the Antichrist and False Prophet. The late Father Seraphim Rose fought against this pan-heresy movement and sought to rescue genuine minded Christians from being caught in the muddle. His book: "Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future." is as true today as it was then.<BR/><BR/>As Orthodox Christians, it is our duty to reject Christ-deniers and total heretics but to love them to repentance. Let us be brave about this.<BR/><BR/>Yours in Christ,<BR/><BR/>Timothy KwohJTO Editor Nathan Lee Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508044089049795771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27046650.post-38514259305925699102009-03-29T15:25:00.000-05:002009-03-29T15:25:00.000-05:00Well put.Well put.frphotihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06410905264255041799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27046650.post-62184335251588075352009-03-27T21:40:00.000-05:002009-03-27T21:40:00.000-05:00You have been doing your homework.You have been doing your homework.Fr John Mahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12721653795322231688noreply@blogger.com
