I find the Orthodox Church to be a very colorful and romantic religion. But, if you are not Orthodox, you are going to hell. Yet, it is only the Word made flesh that judges the hearts of man.
I write this. Because, I see religion has being part of the problem. It keeps people down, or in line so to speak. For example: Your child must be Baptized in the Church to insure they go to Heaven if they die. False. One needs a priest to intercede for our sins. False.
I am not down on this Abbot. I can listen to his concern for our times we live in. But it is our fault we are in this situation. We threw away the moral law. Now, we are reaping the whirlwind of our sins in the form of disrespect for authority at the local, Sate and Federal levels. Our educational system has been teaching Marxism is good.
It is not just this enhanced Bio weapon that is of the fallen Angel Lucifer. It is our worship of the creation and our love for pleasure that is just as guilty.
My post is not directed at you SSgt. But at the audience that will come by and read this. We are at the time the Bible reads of upheaval of nations and the love of many grows cold. We have earned it.

Indeed and Amen; we are reaping the whirlwind. We do not believe salvation is exclusive to the Orthodoxy Church; just that Orthodoxy preserves the "fullness of the Gospel". What you're heard regarding Orthodox Baptism and other Sacraments as your related is incorrect. My journey to Orthodoxy has been.... something. Still is. I was not born Orthodox (a cradle); I'm a Convert. And a lunatic; believing in the physical resurrection of the dead. Crazy.... bat crap crazy...
