I don’t know if this’ll catch on or not… or if there are enough of us – or what but I was banned from http://orthodoxchristianity.net for talking about Jews specifically and 9/11 peripherally, so I decided to just start my own forum... Why not?

I don’t know what’s going on over there as far as administration goes or why I was really banned (the excuses they gave were arbitrary) and I don’t even really care that much anymore – though I was there long enough to know that many of the posters there are actually Jews or have Jewish ancestry, so that has to be a contributing factor along with otherwise (seemingly) predominantly Zionist, Protestant Judeophilic backgrounds.

They’re over there… framing every debate, turning every mention of Jews or Judaism into slanderous accusations of hate and antisemitism, same old, same old, blah blah blah. I’m sick of it.

Norway Antisemitic? Norway Under Attack? What in the…?

"It's a SECRET!" - This is what a fully brainwashed FreeSlavemason looks like... just in case you were wondering

Pictured-The-blond-Norwegian-Oslo-car-bomb-blasts

He's a Zionist "Christian" by the looks of things and a Freemason to boot apparently. Oh and supposedly he is responsible for the car bomb and the shootings all by his self. They say he killed at least 92 people. 84 kids on that island alone from what I've heard.

Lord have mercy! Save their souls!

This was the scene on the Island the day before

An Orthodox Perspective on Christian Zionism

By Father Daniel Swires

---

In the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

There is an ancient belief among some people known as “millenarianism” or “chiliasm.” This is the belief that Christ will set up an earthly kingdom and will rule it for a thousand years, usually referred to as the “Millenium.”

This belief actually has its origin in post-exilic Judaism. An anticipation that survived the Babylonian exile was that one day God would restore the kingdom of David under a model anointed king, the Messiah. Even though idealized, this would be an earthly, historical kingdom, and most often its relation to the end-time was not specified.

Another expectation that developed, especially in apocalyptic writings, was that God would directly intervene in the end-time, without any mention of a restoration of the Davidic kingdom.

One way of combining the two expectations was to see two divine interventions: (1) a restoration of an earthly kingdom or period of blissful prosperity to be followed by (2) God’s end-time victory and judgment. Many writers speculated about these two events. They are found in 1^st Enoch, in 4^th Ezra, in 2^nd Baruch, in the Ascension of Isaiah. It is interesting, though, that each of these writers sees a different time frame for these events. It is quite probable, in fact, that most of them never intended to convey exact times. Rather, they were symbolic ways of predicting divine victory over evil forces that are an obstacle to God’s Kingdom or rule.

St. John, then, in writing the Apocalypse, also used the idea of a thousand-year reign of Christ, not to describe a historical, earthly kingdom, but as a way of saying that ultimately, in His own time, God will have the victory. (It is worth reminding ourselves that only one passage in the Apocalypse, consisting of two verses, mentions a thousand-year reign: from this one small passage has come a lot of exaggerated speculation.)

Attempting To Answer "Irrefutable" Questions...

I was referred to this website a while ago: Bible.ca...

Apparently, it’s operated by the so-called ‘Churches of Christ’ (19th century Restorationist movement of Alexander Campbell and Barton Stone). They are basically just another sect of ‘Sola Scriptura’ Protestants who claim to follow the Bible only... Any other extra-Biblical traditions (aside from their own of course) are derided, and the authority of the Church from whence the Bible came is expressly denied.
Anyhow, there’s a page on that site: ... Irrefutable Questions That Roman Catholics and Orthodox Can’t Answer... On that page there are 29 questions.­­
Some of them are (to me at least) virtually unintelligible... but here for your perusal are the questions followed by  my answers (to most of them anyway)...

A Conversation With A Protestant...

Here's a quote from a website I visited:

"The Gospel-

Sound complicated? It’s not, really. It is simply a matter of believing that Jesus is God’s only begotten Son, and that He came to Earth, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died to remove your sin — that original sin you inherited from Adam — then rose again on the third day to assure your future resurrection.

Here is what it takes to be “born again.” It is as simple as ABC:

A – Admit you are a sinner.

B – Believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died and rose again to give you eternal life.

C – Call upon Him in prayer and ask for salvation."

(...)

So... I ask you - is that  the true Gospel? Or is it a lie invented in the 16th century which only serves to fool people and keep them from the knowledge of the truth and the salvation found in His Church?

The Didache – The Teachings of the Apostles… Does Your Life Measure Up?

In today's world - with the way things are going within 'Christendom' in North America & Europe especially, it is my feeling that all those who identify themselves as 'Christian'  need to ask themselves one important question:

If the apostles of Christ showed up today in your neck of the woods... would they recognize what people who call themselves 'Christians' are doing and saying as that faith once delivered to the saints?
