...And you have to make a choice! Sooner or later: Christianity or Orthodoxy...
In apostolic Christianity, Jesus was confessed as a MAN. Orthodoxy, as a “product” of the Roman Emperor, “appointed” the Righteous One to “be” God. Millions of people have the position: I just believe in God. This position is a dead end. Believing in God is self-deception. It is possible to believe only in that which, at least in principle, can be understood. But believing in the Incomprehensible is stupid. Faith in God can be nothing other than IN THE NAME of someone or, alas, something... (Are those who are sure that the power of money is absolute already gone?) Faith in God, implanted for 17 centuries by the Orthodox Catholic Church, imputes faith in the name of “God” - Christ, i.e. faith in God in the name of another God! But Apostolic Christianity saw the teaching of Jesus differently: faith in God in the name of Man, in the name of Jesus. After all, it is said: “There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,” the Bible tells us.
Is it important: Jesus Christ is God or He is Man?.. Is it worth clarifying? No. Not worth it. Clarity has already been brought by the Apostle John, the beloved disciple of Christ: “Who is a liar if not he who denies that Jesus is the Christ?” (1 John chapter 2 verse 22). John gave them a name - Antichrists. In the same chapter, he specified two signs: antichrists are those who have isolated themselves by leaving the community of Christians - the community founded by the apostles. (1 John 2 chapter 19 verse). And, secondly, those same “set apart” confess Jesus as God, i.e. reject Him as Christ. (Christ is always and only human). All. Dot!
Statement of fact: the Antichrists are not the executioners who tortured Jesus. This is not Pontius Pilate. And not even Judas Iscariot... Antichrists are those and only those who “raised” Christ to the level of God. Who is this if not Catholic Orthodoxy, which dogmatizes in its Creeds: Christ is God... (“God-humanity” implies God who became incarnate... God!)
“My ways are not your ways, your thoughts are not My thoughts” - truly just words of the Creator God.
And here are the words of Jesus: “... take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls; for My yoke is easy and My burden is light (St. Matthew 11:29,30) - these are not the words of God. These are the words of a Man!
The clergy to this day treacherously take advantage of the blatant ignorance and lack of awareness of people. And, because of this, the Orthodox-Catholic flock, without knowing it, constitutes the Church of Antichrists. Are there many of them?.. One and a half billion.
In chapter 13 of the book of Revelation from John the Theologian, Jesus Himself reveals to us through millennia:
THE FALSE PROPHET (aka the beast with two lamb horns) is Orthodoxy! And this two-horned one is nothing more than false Christianity - Catholic Orthodoxy!
A mysterious OUTLINE that the Apostle John saw with his prophetic vision - the cross. Yes, yes... Exactly the cross!
“...And he will cause everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads...”
The first apocalyptic beast (the one with seven heads) is paganism. In all its manifestations! Paganism, due to this, has different national-ethnic NAMES.
“...and that no one may buy or sell except he who has the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name...”
Paganism has many faces. And it has national characteristics. But everyone is united by one thing - the ferocity of their religion, which rejects the Unity of the Creator. And Orthodoxy, no matter how it disguises itself, in its deepest essence is paganism!
“...and he performs great signs, so that fire comes down from heaven to earth before people...” - nothing reminds you?
