The Problem In Crete

“How could it happen that the Holy and Great Council on Crete called heterodox heretical communities ‘Churches? They said, wrote, and signed the term 'heterodox Christian Churches.' So now heretics have become a ‘Church?’ Then what one Church do we talk about in the Symbol of Faith?... The worst part... is that in calling the heterodox ‘Churches,’ they gave it weight, presenting the matter in such a way as if this position has historical justification: The Orthodox Church accepts the historical name of other heterodox Christian Churches and Confessions…’ What does ‘historical name’ mean? When and where did the Holy Fathers call heresies and schisms ‘Churches?’ Nowhere and never! ... we do not recognize heresies and schisms as ‘Churches.’” METROPOLITAN JEREMIAH OF GORTYS

Even As In The Days Of Elijah the Prophet

Fr Seraphim Rose himself wrote in his book “Orthodoxy and the religion of the future” (found in the 1983 edition on page 220; in later editions some parts of the following paragraph have “mysteriously” disappeared):

"Unknown to the fevered Orthodox “revivalists,” the Lord has reserved in the world, even as in the days of Elijah the Prophet, seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal [Rom. 11:4] — an unknown number of true Orthodox Christians who are neither spiritually dead, as the Orthodox “charismatics” complain that their flocks have been, nor the pompously “spirit-filled,” as these same flocks become under “charismatic” suggestion. They are not carried away by the movement of apostasy nor by any false “awakening,” but continue rooted in the holy and saving Faith of Holy Orthodoxy in the tradition the Holy Fathers have handed down to them, watching the signs of the times and traveling the narrow path to salvation. Many of them follow the bishops of the few Orthodox jurisdicitions that have strong stands against the apostasy of our times: the Catacomb Church of Russia, the Russian Church Outside of Russia, the True Orthodox Christians [Old Calendarists] of Greece. But there are some left in other jurisdictions also, grieving over the ever more evident apostasy of their hierarchs and striving somehow to keep their own Orthodoxy intact; and there are still others outside of the Orthodox Church who by God’s grace, their hearts being open to His call, will undoubtedly yet be joined to genuine Holy Orthodoxy. These “seven thousand “are the foundation of the future and only 0rthodoxy of the latter times."

“Do not be deceived !”

“In the end, when critical times come, I think it will be seen how useful it was that there were some [jurisdictions] which stayed behind, and some bishops and priests who stayed in a sort of backward point of view in order to be of help when a crisis comes. Because it is true that many of the Orthodox hierarchs are going much too far in following Rome which is following the Western confessions. It will come to a disaster before very long.” (Hieromonk Seraphim (Rose) at a gathering of an Orthodox student fellowship at UC Santa Cruz, 1981

The Corrupt Church

Revelation 2:18-29

18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write,

‘These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: 19 “I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. 20 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. 22 Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. 23 I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.

The Prayer Of Christ For His Children

“I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me. I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.  But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.  I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.  They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.  As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.  And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth. I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word;  that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:  I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."

Why Do They Lie?

Here is what Neil deGrasse Tyson, Winner of the  NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal, says about the theory of gravity.

Questioner: What is gravity?

Tyson: We have no idea. Okay next question. Ha.

Questioner: Wow.

Tyson: No. Here’s the difference. We can describe gravity. We can say what it does to other things. We caaaan… we caaaan… measure it, predict with it, but when you start asking, like, whaaat it is… uh I, I, I don’t know. Einstein, in an Einsteinian answer, we would  say, that gravity is the curvature of space and time…and that….and objects will follow the curvature of space time and we, we… interpret that as a force of gravity. That probably the best answer I can give to a what is gravity question, or why is there gravity. That’s the best I can do. I think that…that’s a good start.

Conjecture, theory, interpretation, lack of knowledge. Where is the science? Einstein was an uneducated patent clerk turned Theoretical Physicist (emphasis on theoretical). His contemporary, Nikola Tesla, had an advanced education in engineering and physics. He understood and proved, by real science, not theoretical, the nature of the earth and exposed the gravity hoax.  So, gravity is “space and time curvature” Neil? Please! The scales are falling from our eyes.

NASA is a religion with propaganda priests.  Founded and operated by the secret society of Freemasons, and originally staffed with Nazi scientists. And you believe their every word, why?

Picture of a Prophet

The spirit of Jezabel is alive in the Orthodox Church- The evidence is that any Orthodox person, be they layman or clergy would deny the truth of the following, or have a problem with the fact that a Protestant has presented this truth!

Picture of a Prophet
By Leonard Ravenhill

The prophet in his day is fully accepted of God and totally rejected by men.

Years back, Dr. Gregory Mantle was right when he said, "No man can be fully accepted until he is totally rejected." The prophet of the Lord is aware of both these experiences. They are his "brand name."

The group, challenged by the prophet because they are smug and comfortably insulated from a perishing world in their warm but untested theology, is not likely to vote him "Man of the year" when he refers to them as habituates of the synagogue of Satan!

The prophet comes to set up that which is upset. His work is to call into line those who are out of line! He is unpopular because he opposes the popular in morality and spirituality. In a day of faceless politicians and voiceless preachers, there is not a more urgent national need than that we cry to God for a prophet! The function of the prophet, as Austin-Sparks once said, "has almost always been that of recovery."

The prophet is God's detective seeking for a lost treasure. The degree of his effectiveness is determined by his measure of unpopularity. Compromise is not known to him.
He has no price tags.
He is totally "otherworldly."
He is unquestionably controversial and unpardonably hostile.
He marches to another drummer!
He breathes the rarefied air of inspiration.
He is a "seer" who comes to lead the blind.
He lives in the heights of God and comes into the valley with a "thus saith
the Lord."
He shares some of the foreknowledge of God and so is aware of
impending judgment.
He lives in "splendid isolation."
He is forthright and outright, but he claims no birthright.
His message is "repent, be reconciled to God or else...!"
His prophecies are parried.
His truth brings torment, but his voice is never void.
He is the villain of today and the hero of tomorrow.
He is excommunicated while alive and exalted when dead!
He is dishonored with epithets when breathing and honored with
epitaphs when dead.
He is a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, but few "make the grade" in his class.
He is friendless while living and famous when dead.
He is against the establishment in ministry; then he is established as a saint
by posterity.
He eats daily the bread of affliction while he ministers, but he feeds the Bread of
Life to those who listen.
He walks before men for days but has walked before God for years.
He is a scourge to the nation before he is scourged by the nation.
He announces, pronounces, and denounces!
He has a heart like a volcano and his words are as fire.
He talks to men about God.
He carries the lamp of truth amongst heretics while he is lampooned by men.
He faces God before he faces men, but he is self-effacing.
He hides with God in the secret place, but he has nothing to hide in
the marketplace.
He is naturally sensitive but supernaturally spiritual.
He has passion, purpose and pugnacity.
He is ordained of God but disdained by men.

Our national need at this hour is not that the dollar recover its strength, or that we save face over the Watergate affair, or that we find the answer to the ecology problem. We need a God-sent prophet!

I am bombarded with talk or letters about the coming shortages in our national life: bread, fuel, energy. I read between the lines from people not practiced in scaring folk. They feel that the "seven years of plenty" are over for us. The "seven years of famine" are ahead. But the greatest famine of all in this nation at this given moment is a FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORDS OF GOD (Amos 8:11).

Millions have been spent on evangelism in the last twenty-five years. Hundreds of gospel messages streak through the air over the nation every day. Crusades have been held; healing meetings have made a vital contribution. "Come-outers" have "come out" and settled, too, without a nation-shaking revival. Organizers we have. Skilled preachers abound. Multi-million dollar Christian organizations straddle the nation. BUT where, oh where, is the prophet? Where are the incandescent men fresh from the holy place? Where is the Moses to plead in fasting before the holiness of the Lord for our moldy morality, our political perfidy, and sour and sick spirituality?

GOD'S MEN ARE IN HIDING UNTIL THE DAY OF THEIR SHOWING FORTH. They will come. The prophet is violated during his ministry, but he is vindicated by history.

There is a terrible vacuum in evangelical Christianity today. The missing person in our ranks is the prophet. The man with a terrible earnestness. The man totally otherworldly. The man rejected by other men, even other good men, because they consider him too austere, too severely committed, too negative and unsociable.

Let him be as plain as John the Baptist.
Let him for a season be a voice crying in the wilderness of modern theology and
stagnant "churchianity."
Let him be as selfless as Paul the apostle.
Let him, too, say and live, "This ONE thing I do."
Let him reject ecclesiastical favors.
Let him be self-abasing, nonself-seeking, nonself-projecting, nonself- righteous,
nonself-glorying, nonself-promoting.
Let him say nothing that will draw men to himself but only that which will move
men to God.
Let him come daily from the throne room of a holy God, the place where he has
received the order of the day.
Let him, under God, unstop the ears of the millions who are deaf through the
clatter of shekels milked from this hour of material mesmerism.
Let him cry with a voice this century has not heard because he has seen a vision
no man in this century has seen. God send us this Moses to lead us from the
wilderness of crass materialism, where the rattlesnakes of lust bite us and where
enlightened men, totally blind spiritually, lead us to an ever-nearing Armageddon.

God have mercy! Send us PROPHETS!

Identifying False Prophets

Truth is truth no matter what the source... I love the fact that the host of this video obscures his own image so as not to become the focus of the message. I do not agree, however with his disparaging the use of "father" in regards to priest, as Saint Paul Himself referred to himself as a father in the faith. Other that that, this guy is speaking truth:

L

Anecdotal Evidence Cannot Stand Alone

When one argues a truth based on a preponderance of anecdotal evidence, void of scriptural foundation, one has strayed from the faith. Truth is valid only if it is seen through the prism of tradition and scripture. Anecdotal evidence cannot stand alone.

Pedophilia And Our Political Leaders

WARNING: Breaking today:

This is the most disturbing thing I have ever seen on the internet. John Podesta, Bill Clinton's former Chief of staff and Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman is allegedly a pedophile and kingpin of an international child trafficking ring. This is your Democratic party folks. It is also the heart of your Hollywood elite. The FBI under this GREAT president and Attorney general are bringing it all down. If you try to spin it, you are as evil as they are. NO MORE GAMES! 300 plus just arrested in California. Adoption agency raided in Ohio. Over 400 children missing in DC. Wikileaks exposed Podesta and Comet Pizza using child trafficking code words. I had to stop the video for a moment (too intense) in which Podesta is yelling at children as they scream in terror and pain. A voice analysis is included with a video clip of Podesta at the end. How many of our political officials are involved? Could this be one of the reasons they have and are trying to bring down Trump? Short. About two minutes. Please share this with the world NOW, before it goes away.

Text: Allegedly John Podesta and children on video: 

Man Yelling: "You think you're hot shit doncha?" 

Children crying and screaming on other side of a glass partition.

"Ya think you hot…" 

Children continue to yell. Banging noises heard. Motion can be seen. Children moving rapidly.

"Listen up! What’s my fa…what’s my name?!"

More screaming and protesting.

"What’s my name?! My other name! Wadda you call me?"

One child yelling...garbled

"I am your fatha! From now on you will call me your fatha!"

Child screaming. Bangs heard throughout.

"Shup! I…you will call me your fatha! What am, what is my name, huh?!"

Man’s voice changes- starts child-like singing: 

"I'm just a kid who's four, each day I grow some more, (inaudible jumble) sing! Each day I grow some more," (garbled singing increasing in tempo…)

Loudest, blood curdling scream from child as man continues singing …Maniacal laugh from man. Children screaming…

Man still singing:"Finding my way… Growing up is not so tough... ’cept when I’ve had enough…"

Man lets out a scream as children keep yelling and screaming.
