The 2000 Year Vatican Roma
War on Orthodoxy
ORTHODOX or HETERODOX
that is the QUESTION?
Vatican Roma, The Catholic Church, has no equal in terms of age, experience and above all, in her determination to dominate the human race. Vatican Roma will tolerate no rivals, tolerate no competitors, put up with no enemies.
Vatican Roma has led many kings and emperors to their destruction. Vatican Roma has subjugated other religions and will rule over all religions in the antichrist new world order. Few have resisted and escaped all her wily and deceitful cunning. More than one has still survived, and even fought relentless battles for centuries that are still being fought today as strongly as in the past.
Vatican diplomacy is the oldest diplomacy in the world. Vatican Roma's diplomacy can explain much of the mind-boggling events of our day.
One of the few ancient foes of the Vatican that remains is the Orthodox Church. The Orthodox Church, along with very few Protestant churches, and the Jews, are still trying to resist this apostate giant of antichrist religion.
You may say what about Islam? The reality is that Islam is a useful tool of Vatican Roma today. Islam today is used by Vatican Roma to kill real Christians and Jews today. Vatican Roma today still is working covertly to bring about a much greater slaughter of real Christians and Jews who will not submit to Vatican Roma's control. When Vatican Roma's net of control is fully in place, those in Islam who will not submit to Vatican Roma's control will be slaughtered as well. All the real Jews and Christians who will not bow to the antichrist that the pope will anoint as the messiah of the world are being set up for slaughter. Today Islam is a useful tool of Vatican Roma which will be discarded when Vatican Roma is finished with it.
We will begin with the oldest and strongest of Vatican Roma ancient foes, the Orthodox Church. The war between Vatican Roma and the Orthodox Church is the longest diplomatic war in the history of man, which is still being fought as fiercely, as ruthlessly and as unscrupulously as ever. Catholic intrigues against Orthodoxy, since its inception, are uncountable. They fill the annals of the first millennium; and from the beginning of the second, when in 1054 the Orthodox Patriarch, Michael Cerulanius, brought about the final breach between the Eastern and Western Churches, until the fall of Constantinople, they remained paramount in the history of medieval Europe.
The goal of this thousand-year war is simple: the destruction or subjugation of the Orthodox Church or its voluntary or forcible integration into the Catholic Church. Most Protestant churches today, and the so called mega Television ministries, have already submitted to the Vatican. No diplomacy compares to the intrigues cunning and double-dealing of Vatican Roma.
Councils, religious compromises, political bargaining, secret negotiations with Orthodox patriarchs, pacts with the Byzantine emperors - everything and every device was used at one time or another to put Orthodoxy in bondage to Vatican Roma. Rome struck a deal with the last Orthodox emperor of Constantinople. Rome promised to help in the defense of the Orthodox capital against the gathering Islamic armies, in return for his pledge to Vatican Roma of the mass conversion of the Orthodox Church.
From the smashing of the Orthodox Church's political pillar, the Byzantine empire, in 1453, to the crumbling of its political successor, the Russian Czarist Empire, in 1917, the Vatican - Orthodox intrigue on the surface, appeared to be quiet. Because in that 400 year period, the center of Orthodoxy had shifted en masse to Holy Russia. There the Orthodox Church struck deep roots.
Once Constantinople had fallen, the only Orthodox empire left in the world was the Russian. The Russian nation alone was the repository of the Orthodox faith. The idea of an Orthodox empire became the Russian's goal. Church and State were integrated, linked by a common purpose. The Orthodox Church regained its old vigor and splendor, and committed its ancient mistake. The Orthodox Church identified itself as intimately with the Russian empire as it had previously done with the Byzantine.
In about 1721, Peter the Great made the Orthodox Church a branch of Czarism. This State Church relationship was to last until the Bolshevik Revolution. This Church-State relationship with the Russian Czars made the Orthodox Church invincible against the treachery of the Vatican. Yet that same strength, became the fatal weakness, as the fall of Czarist would automatically bring the fall of the Orthodox Church - which, in fact, occurred in 1917.
From then on the treachery of Vatican diplomacy was resumed stronger and more deceitfully than ever. Orthodoxy existed - in the Balkans, in Russia, in Northeast Europe, and, indeed, even in the Near East.
Vatican Roma uses all means to hamper, undermine, boycott and subjugate the Orthodox Church. Name it, Vatican Roma has done it, to the Orthodox Church with diplomatic or political intrigues of all kinds.
Kemal Ataturk perceived that identification of the interests of the young Turkey and of the Vatican could be mutually beneficial. Ataturk laid heavy punishment and even death of any Turkish soldier found harming Armenian Christians, and granted special privileges to the Catholic Church in Turkish territory. Vatican Rome got what it wanted, because the Orthodox Church had been prevented from returning to its ancient seat. The Vatican gave the Turkish nation whatever they needed in the realm of diplomatic intrigue, including Northern Cyprus. Without the blessing of Vatican Roma, Turkey could never have invaded Cyprus. Constantinople, by remaining incorporated in Turkey could never pass to the Orthodox Church. Vatican Roma guaranteed the survival and prosperity of the new Turkish republic.
Is the Vatican Christian? Now when you see how Vatican Roma supports a Moslem nation ruled by an atheist dictator, you should recognize that it is not. That is typical Vatican Roma diplomacy. Turkey, in gratitude for the unofficial pressure exerted in its favor by Vatican Roma in many European quarters, actually is a vassal state of Vatican Roma. The secret Vatican Roma control of Turkey goes almost unnoticed, yet can swing the balance of power any way the Vatican wants it to be, in the Middle East.
The center of the Orthodox Church since the foundation of the Byzantine Empire of Constantine the Great in A.D, 324 has been the great Church of St. Sophia. For over a millennium St. Sophia had come to symbolize Orthodoxy, perhaps even more than St. Peter's in Rome symbolizes the Mother Church of Roman Catholicism. The Orthodox Patriarchs ruled From St. Sophia almost like Popes of the East, until the fall of Constantinople. Even after the fall, St. Sophia continued to be the greatest symbol of Orthodoxy. This most famous church was a link that could bridge past with the present, and present with a future. If the Orthodox Church occupied St. Sophia, it would again become the Mother Church of all Orthodox the world over.
Vatican Roma easily stopped such a dream. In 1935 Kemal Ataturk, in one of his boldest steps to modernize Turkey, converted St. Sophia into a museum of Romano-Byzantine-Christian and Ottoman-Muslim art. The humiliation of the center of Orthodoxy could not have been more bitter. The Vatican had no possible objections to Ataturk's decision about St. Sophia's transformation. The Vatican, which thunders so promptly whenever a nation threatens to secularize Catholic schools or churches, not only did not object, but actually approved and even encouraged Ataturk in his scheme.
When the Bolsheviks took over Russia in 1917, at the Vatican, incredible as it may seem, there was jubilation. The rejoicing was because the Bolsheviks pulled down the Orthodox Church, Rome's seemingly immovable rival. The Bolsheviks had become the instrument for the Orthodox Church almost being totally disintegrated.
The Russian Revolution had thus opened for the Vatican an immense field for Vatican Roman conquest. Vatican Roma could see the possibility of realizing what it had attempted in vain for over one thousand years. Vatican Roma was looking to the reunion of the Orthodox Church, via a mass conversion of the Russians. Also Vatican Roma would incorporate Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, the Polish Orthodox Ukrainians and all the other different Orthodox groups in Eastern Europe. Through the Bolsheviks, the Vatican could see practically the whole Orthodox world as its vassal states like Turkey.
Orthodox resistance against the soviets found no sympathy whatsoever in Rome. On the contrary, it was welcomed in the hope that, by defying the new atheistic government, the Church would be given a mortal blow and would be wiped out for good.
It was while waiting for the Orthodox Church to receive the last blow that would finally bury her, and while the whole of Europe kept repeating, "This Lenin cannot last" - and by Lenin was meant Bolshevik Russia - that the Vatican began making moves to attain its two main goals. Number one goal of Vatican Roma was to kill the Orthodox Church. The second goal would be to begin to work its scheme for the mass conversion to Vatican Roma.
Negotiations between Rome and Moscow continued. Vatican Roma hoped to eventually convert "a country of 90,000,000 people to the true religion." Vatican Roma knew it could not trust the promises of the Bolsheviks. Yet Vatican Roma was doing the ground work for the eventual grand-scale conversion of Russia after Bolshevik Russia had collapsed.
Try to understand this key to Vatican diplomacy. It continues today.
The incursion of the Protestants into what the Vatican had envisaged as its exclusive field, and above all, the ominous recovery of the Orthodox Church, convinced Vatican Roma that vagueness had to be replaced by concrete action, to force the hand of the soviets.
The Vatican changed its tactics. The phase of patient, secretive negotiations was over. The iron fist of Vatican Roma came down. No country was to sign any treaty whatsoever with Bolshevik Russia unless "freedom to practice any religion" was guaranteed. Freedom, that Vatican Roma explained to the soviet representative, meant complete freedom "for the Catholic Church." With regard to the other Christian denominations (Protestant and Orthodox), the Vatican would not object to any "restrictive" measures that the soviets might take against them.
In 1927 the last semi-direct attempts at agreement between the Vatican and Moscow took place. The Vatican declared its dissatisfaction with "the soviet proposals," and relations with Moscow were broken off for good.
The Orthodox Church, although still stunned by the 1917 blow, had rapidly adapted herself to the changed situation. The separation of Church and State, which the Vatican had reckoned would kill her, had turned out to be a more invigorating factor than her former identification with the government which had caused her downfall. Orthodoxy, in fact, had begun to reorganize itself. As far as religion and spiritual revival in Russia the Orthodox Church had already almost recovered its former spiritual strength.
In these conditions, the original grandiose scheme of the Vatican had become obsolete. The policy of conversion was therefore discarded and a new one adopted. This rested upon the forcible overthrow of soviet Russia via military attack.
The new Vatican Roma plan would be the total mobilization of the West against soviet Russia, to be carried out, no longer by direct military intervention, but by an ideological and emotional anti-Bolshevik crusade, preparatory to an eventual physical attack.
The scheme soon became a reality, thanks to the timely growth of a most sinister political warning sign known as fascism. The fundamental policy of fascism was war against communism. The Vatican, which had already concluded an alliance with its original founder, supported similar movements everywhere it could, with a view of converting the whole of Europe into a monolithic anti-Bolshevik bloc. Its ultimate objective was a military invasion of Russia.
By 1930-31 the West had already been "emotionally roused to war against godless Russia."
Vatican Roma helped put together the Anti-Comintem Pact between Nazi Germany and Japan (1936). Russia was being swiftly enclosed in an iron ring, from the West and from the East. England and France tried to settle the fate of Europe by sacrificing Czechoslovakia at the altar of appeasement. It was the Vatican which, during this crisis, specifically asked the British Premier, Chamberlain, to exclude Russia from the Conference. At that time Great Britain was seeking a pact with Russia, to strengthen her bargaining weight against Hitler. The exclusion proved fatal. Hitler emerged wholly victorious, and the Second World War was made inevitable. Give Vatican Roma credit for starting World War 2 just as they have credit for starting World War 1 and also World War 3 by having Clinton bomb the Orthodox Christians in Kosovo for the Vatican's puppet Islam.
In the following year Hitler occupied the whole of Czechoslovakia. During the Finnish War in 1939, Great Britain and France, with the Vatican in the background, instigated the expulsion of soviet Russia from the League of Nations, and, in close cooperation with the Vatican, mobilized world opinion against her, speaking of this campaign as a crusade.
Two years later the Vatican's grand strategy bore its fruit. Hitler, backed by the might of a nazified European continent, attacked soviet Russia. The grandiose vistas dreamed of at the fall of the czar were dreamed of once more, to the chanting of hallelujahs in St. Peter's. The Institute Pro Russia, in Rome, which had been languishing for so long, now pulsated with feverish activity, and Catholics were urged to renew their devotions to Our Lady of Fatima. Yes, the promise of the Virgin, so curiously in harmony with the Vatican's grand scheme, at long last was coming true.
Within a few months, the Nazi armies had reached the outskirts of Moscow, Leningrad and Stalingrad. Soviet Russia was about to be destroyed.
The Nazi armies and the Catholic legions fighting by their side, after their initial triumph, were hammered back. And ultimately, to the horror of the Vatican, it was the Russians who entered Berlin and not Hitler who entered Moscow.
Vatican diplomacy had received yet another resounding defeat. But even before this had been completed, it had already launched yet another anti-Bolshevik, anti-Orthodox grand scheme, in cooperation with a new partner, which was even more powerful than its former Nazi ally - i.e. the United States of America.
The new campaign had been launched while the guns of the Second World War were still echoing in the battlefields of both Europe and Asia, and the people of the world were looking forward with a prayer in their hearts to a hope of peace and no more war.
Just like after the First World War, Vatican diplomacy operated a multi-faceted anti-soviet strategy. After the Second, it launched another.
The ultimate objective was the same. Soviet Russia would be the new villan to play the role of Nazi Germany. New tactical moves directed at implementing it were carefully studied and carried out. These, although seemingly disconnected, in reality were closely knit into an inter-continental pattern embracing the whole world.
The principal tactical features of this new strategy took the form of: (a) mobilization of the Catholics of the Near East; (b) mobilization of the Orthodox Church outside Russia; (c) mobilization of Islam; and (d) general intensification and speeding up of the ideological and military mobilization of the West.
These four types of political machination were carried out almost simultaneously, with a technique which was greatly different from that used after the First World War, when the Vatican, having failed to carry on its intrigues against the Orthodox Church inside Russia, had shifted its operations against her outside Russia - that is to say, in the Balkans.
After the Second World War the Vatican began to mobilize all Catholics in the Near and Middle East.
This is the way the various Balkan countries became sealed to Catholic diplomacy. The Vatican became increasingly active outside the Balkans - with the Catholics in Iraq; the Maronites in Lebanon; the Copt-Catholics in Egypt; the Melkites, or Greek Catholics, and others to be found in practically all these territories, as well as in Syria, Trans-Jordan and Palestine.
Simultaneously with this, Rome approached the Orthodox Church outside the communist world with a view to inducing it to side with the Vatican, or, at least, with the Vatican's political allies in their anti-Russian, anti-communist wars.
Unofficial negotiations were initiated, but, owing mainly to Orthodoxy's deep-rooted suspicion of the Vatican, these yielded very little result.
Vatican diplomacy waited for a while and then resorted to a master move. It sent to the Middle East, no longer Vatican diplomats, but the envoy of the most powerful man in the West: Mr. Myron Taylor, the representative of the President of the U.S.A. So in February, 1949, when the cold war against Russia was at its height Myron Taylor arrived in Istanbul, where, in his dual capacity representing the president of the U.S.A. and the Vatican, he met the Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagorar.
Mr. Taylor put forward concrete plans for the cooperation of the Orthodox and Catholic Churches, in the face of the "communist threat to religion." At the same time he tried to ascertain the "true" current status of the Orthodox churches in communist-dominated countries. He wanted to know the ways in which communism might be using these churches to strengthen its position in Eastern Europe and in Near East areas. Myron Taylor, to make his argument for Orthodox cooperation more convincing, stated in no doubtful terms that the "cooperation" of Orthodoxy was not only wished for by the Vatican but was "wanted" by the U.S.A. The whole point of the Vatican's choice of Myron Taylor, the representative of the American President, to meet the Eastern Orthodox leaders, was to lay emphasis precisely on this.
It was the trump card of Vatican diplomacy, very well hidden behind the American envoy. We should remember that Greece, where the Orthodox Church was at its strongest, had been saved by America, from becoming a communist country, only a short while before.
Following the end of the Second World War, a bloody civil war between Right and Left devastated Greece for several years. Great Britain poured in troops to reinforce the anti-communist faction. The communists were near to winning, and the U.S.A. had to intervene.
Military and financial aid was rushed to the country. The communists were defeated. Extreme right-wing forces were installed in power. Throughout the civil war and the British and American intervention, the Orthodox Church played a paramount role. Indeed, at one time the Greek Orthodox Patriarch became head of the Greek government.
The Orthodox Church, having identified itself with the right and with the American interventionists, consequently had the support of the Greek government, sponsored by the U.S.A. Withdrawal of American protection would have meant the fall of the right-wing Greek government, in which case the fate of the Greek Orthodox Church would have been precisely a repetition in miniature of the fate of the Russian Orthodox Church on the fall of the czar.
The dispatch of the American envoy as the Vatican's representative, with his emphasis on the American desire to see the cooperation of the Orthodox Church, was political blackmail of the first order which the Vatican had accomplished by using political, non-Catholic pressure.
Precisely one year later the mission bore its first real fruit. In February, 1950, His Beatitude the Patriarch Cristoforos of Alexandria arrived in Athens to prepare with Archbishop Spiridon, head of the Orthodox Church in Greece, for an event of the greatest significance: the summoning of a Pan-Orthodox Synod.
This meant a political council of the Orthodox churches to keep step with the anti-communist war of their protector, the U.S.A. The Orthodox Church within the communist region countered soon afterward, when Patriarch Alexei of Moscow "extended" the Russian Church's jurisdiction to include Hungary (March, 1950). This was followed by a counter-blow from the Russian Orthodox Church in the United States, which announced that it had officially broken all ties with the Orthodox Church of Moscow.
Metropolitan Bishop Krimowicz, of Springfleld, Mass., was appointed Patriarch of the Orthodox Church in the United States, and Metropolitan Bishop Jaroshevich Patriarch of the Orthodox Church in foreign countries (October, 1950).
In December, 1951, Metropolitan Leonty, the Orthodox Church's U.S. Primate, and the Bishops of Alaska and San Francisco, invested a one-time officer of the czarist army as the first Orthodox Bishop of Washington.
Three moves and counter-moves followed one another in quick succession in the years that followed, until the bridges were totally burnt on either side.
The Orthodox Church had been split asunder, one part, the larger, in soviet Russia, the center of the communist world, the other in the U.S.A., the center of Western capitalism.
Division means weakness. The Vatican had maneuvered its opponent where it had planned to maneuver it, reducing further its unity and thus bringing nearer its ultimate downfall.
Simultaneously with these moves, Vatican diplomacy was busy setting in motion one of the greatest religious-political forces in the world, Islam. Islam, the historic enemy of Christianity, had always loomed large in Vatican diplomacy's plans against the Orthodox Church.
Cautious unofficial exchanges between the Vatican and various Arab countries, particularly the most influential Islamic country in the Middle East, Egypt, were begun in the years that followed the Second World War. These bore exceptional results. In 1946 an Arab delegation, composed of Christians and Moslems, paid an official visit to the Pope, and in 1947 the Moslem East made its first official approach to the Vatican. Egypt exchanged representatives with the Pope, and sent to Rome a Minister Plenipotentiary. Other Moslem countries Syria, Lebanon, Iran - followed Egypt's example, and soon even those Moslem lands which had not yet officially exchanged diplomats were unofficially in close touch with Rome.
The Vatican's mobilization of the Islamic world culminated in 1950, when the Egyptian Foreign Minister, Salah ed Din, disclosed that Egypt and the Vatican had been conducting secret negotiations and had agreed upon the establishment of a "united Roman Catholic-Moslem front against communism."
The following year, Azzam Pasha, Secretary-General of the Arab League, went to Rome for a whole week, where he saw the Pope and other Vatican dignitaries: "The time has come for us to collaborate loyally, both as a nation and a religious entity, in the rebirth of a common patrimony," he declared, speaking on Radio Rome, "and in . . . the creation of a united front between Islam and Christianity against communism." (Islam is a Jesuit controlled puppet of Vatican Roma)
The foundations of a Vatican Roma-Islamic partnership had been skillfully laid by Vatican diplomacy. From then onward, particularly during 1951-52, and in spite of many difficulties, it continued to be solidified, to the present day.
Islam is a potentially formidable religious-political unit. Whoever succeeds in exerting even a partial influence upon it will wield a power capable of provoking political and social repercussions in many strategically important parts of the world. (Yes indeed, Vatican Roma does influence and control Islam) From Spanish and French Morocco to Egypt, Persia, Pakistan, Indonesia, indeed, to within the very Soviet Union itself, housing 25,000,000 Moslems, as well as within communist China, housing another 50,000,000.
The potential of the Moslem world as a formidable, religious-political instrument. Vatican Roma understood that.
The American mobilization of the Islamic countries had been initiated by Roosevelt himself, who, just before his death (1945), had envisaged meeting Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia, King Farouk of Egypt and others, for the amalgamation of the Near and Middle East into the framework of American global foreign policy.
Since then, Vatican-American interests ran ever closer, until, within a few brief years, they were transformed into a veritable Vatican American alliance. The material might of the U.S.A. and the spiritual power of the Catholic Church, by mobilizing the religious influence of Islam and the political energies of the Arab world, had encircled Soviet Russia in a religious-political iron ring, the precursor of a military one.
It's objective for Vatican Roma was the destruction of communism and Soviet Russia, the new protector of her religious rival, the Orthodox Church.
In bygone centuries the Vatican schemed stubbornly and tirelessly with the Turkish Empire, with the Austrian Empire, with Moslem, Buddhist and other potentates, to bring about the downfall of czarist Russia, so as to weaken the Orthodox Church.
In the twentieth century it schemed with the Europe which arose after the First World War, with fascism and nazism before and during the Second, in order, by causing the downfall of Soviet Russia, to paralyze a regenerated Orthodoxy.
After the Second World War it continued in its relentless scheming with the U.S.A., with a "dollarized" Europe, with the Arab nations and other Asiatic countries, to annihilate the U.S.S.R., in order, once again, to subjugate its Orthodox rival.
Following the changed political world, the Vatican renewed its attempts by wooing the Orthodox Church with plans of "Dialogues," initiated by Pope John XXIII - a policy of blandishment instead of the old one of intrigues. The new policy soon yielded unusual dividends. Relics were returned, e.g. the skull of St. Andrew, which had rested in St. Peter's, Rome, since 1462, sent back in 1964 by Pope Paul VI, to its original place, Patras, following the request by the Orthodox Metropolitan of Patras to Pope John XXIII the previous year.
Cordial relations were established so that even the world's largest Orthodox body, the Patriarchate of Moscow, finally agreed to convoke a Pan Orthodox Conference to discuss "a dialogue" on equal terms with Rome.
Vatican Roma's treachery and hatred of REAL Christians and Jews can never be forgotten. Vatican Roma controls all of the world's national intelligence agencies through the Jesuits. Also Vatican Roma has got control of Islam. Their god is the same who comes only to steal, kill and destroy. Their god is Lucifer, regardless of how Vatican Roma pretends and if Islam calls Lucifer by the name of Allah. Vatican Roma is antichrist to the core. Vatican Roma will stop at nothing less than having everyone bow to their altars of the sun god Lucifer and the antichrist. Vatican Roma will have everyone submit and receive the antichrist mark of the beast or be killed. Vatican Roma is more determined than ever to reduce to total subjugation or to wipe from the face of the earth: the ever-resurgent Orthodox Church.
If that be the case it is time that so called Orthodox churches stop being heterodox and become truly Orthodox. In this great God contest of the ages you better be sure to have the true God and be orthodox of your observance of His commands.
Anyone who claims to be a Christian MUST side with the Jews against the beast of Islam. WAKE UP!!!!!! This beast of Islam, is the main religion of Lucifer, and his antichrist international banksters. Islam is being used by the antichrist global religion of the revived Roman antichrist global empire.
Hosea 4:6-7 - MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: BECAUSE THOU HAS REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I WILL ALSO REJECT THEE, THOU SHALT BE NO PRIEST TO ME: SEEING THOU HAST FORGOTTEN THE LAW OF THY GOD, I WILL FORGET THY CHILDREN. AS THEY WERE INCREASED, SO THEY SINNED AGAINST ME: THEREFORE I WILL CHANGE THEIR GLORY INTO SHAME..
This beast of Islam, in these last days, set up and encouraged by the antichrist prince and his false prophet pope, comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. Kill and destroy the Jews first and then the Christians. A real born-again Christian is a Jew by the best definition ever written by the Apostle Paul in Rom 2:28-29: For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Are you a God-Pleaser? Or a SELF-pleaser?
ORTHODOX or HETERODOX
that is the QUESTION?
Orthodoxy refers to a holding tightly to the Christian faith as taught in the Holy Bible. Heterodoxy is to diverge or move away from the Christian faith taught in the Holy Bible.
Titus 1:9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
Titus 1:13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
1 Tim 1:3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
1 Tim 1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
Paul required that the Christian teaching be in conformity with the words of Jesus Christ and His Apostles with equal authority being claimed for both.
Mat 10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
Mat 10:40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
Luke 10:16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
The testimony of the Apostles was under the direct inspiration of the Holy Ghost.
When the interpretations of the Bible is the same as the belief of a church, that church is Orthodox. When the interpretations of the Bible are different from the belief of a church, that church is Heterodox and becomes antichrist.
Who is to say an interpretation of the Bible is Orthodox? Here are 10 rules of Bible interpretation which will give an Orthodox interpretation.
1) Forget the idea that God seeks to hide from us the very thing that He is trying to give us. God does NOT want His revelation to us to be mysterious.
2) Give the same meaning to the words of the bible that you give to history. It is wrong to think that the words of the Bible have any different meaning than simple plain literal sense. The Bible does not have different mystical meaning than the simple, literal, ordinary or common usage of the words.
3) Do not change the literal meaning of any scripture to a symbolic meaning.
4) Do not seek to find hidden meaning in the words of scripture, such as making the USA in JerUSAlem represent the United States.
5) Believe that bible prophesy can be understood as it is, without any changes or additions. It is simple history in advance.
6) Forget the idea that Bible prophesy must be fulfilled before it can be understood.
7) Do not interpret or change God's own interpretation of any symbol. The bible itself is the best commentator on the bible.
8) Give only one meaning to a passage, the plain literal meaning, unless it is made clear that a double meaning should be understood. Understand that God's word is quick, or alive. His Holy Spirit will speak many things to you from the same passage. The depth of His word is unsearchable, yet a child can understand it. Remain childlike in seeking new understanding every time you read His Word. Believe that God will speak to you through His Word, the Holy Bible.
9) Recognize Bible prophets primarily as a preacher of righteousness, for this is the key to the interpretation of many prophesies. He is not primarily a fore-teller but rather a forth-teller or a speaker for God to rebuke, instruct, and correct. He would speak to edify, exhort and comfort even when there was no predictive element in his sermon.
10) Keep in mind the Holy Bible is the Word of God. We ALL know in part. No one understands it all. The Bible is SPIRITUALLY discerned by the Holy Spirit of Truth and Holiness. Claim the promise of James 1:5 when you pray before reading the Holy Bible. Always pray and ask the Lord by His Holy Spirit to give you understanding, and believe God's promise in James 1:5.
The churches of Christendom today, with all the study and skill in commentary and sermons falls short of the living faith of the Apostles. With the nearness of the Return of Jesus Christ, if any Church will not quickly return to Orthodoxy, the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ would do well to heed the warning and commands of Rev 18:4, I Tim 6:5 and II Tim 3:5.
These times call for people not to say or think they are orthodox but to LIVE and DO as Orthodox Christians.
All should be instructed to be able to give a reason for the faith that is in them. Jesus told us of the Teacher that we can and should trust.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, HE SHALL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 16:7-15 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you.
Those who give religious instruction must be known to be in strict conformity with the teaching of the Bible. Orthodoxy in word, in fact, in deed, and in truth is most important in these last days. Teachers of the Christian faith take upon themselves the obligation to be Orthodox not just in name, but in fact, in deed, and in truth. The plain words of the Holy Bible are the criteria to prove if a church is Orthodox or Heterodox. The clergy or teachers of any Church of the Lord Jesus Christ must give orthodox sermons, instructions, AND THEY MUST BE ORTHODOX THEMSELVES.
THE QUESTION OF WHERE ORTHODOXY ENDS AND HETERODOXY BEGINS IS FOUND IN GOD'S ROYAL LAW, THE 10 COMMANDMENTS. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IS THE ONLY SCHOOLMASTER TO BRING ANY SINNER TO THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST TO BE SAVED FROM THE WRATH TO COME.
Since the time of Constantine the eastern and western churches have become less and less orthodox and more heterodox. To be sure there are churches that claim to be orthodox. But can they pass the test of conformity to the Holy Bible? Do they pass according to the Spirit of Truth, especially in regard to God's Royal Law, the 10 Commandments, the 10 simple instructions how to really and truly love God and how to truly love your neighbor. If any "so called" orthodox church can not pass that test, it has become heterodox.
The Roman church with Jesuit leadership found great ways of gaining wealth and religious power to put men in bondage. The Greek "so called" Orthodox church became idolized like the Roman church. It may be painful to admit this truth, the Orthodox church today is far removed from the true Orthodoxy of The Apostles Paul, Peter, John and James.
Only the true Orthodoxy as clearly taught by Jesus, Peter, Paul and John will be able to stand in the antichrist onslaught of the antichrist world religion under the false prophet Vatican Pope. The blatant mockery of almost all churches of the 4th Commandment should be obvious. The prayers to mother Mary and saints (I Tim 2:5) is Classic IDOLATRY and mocks the 2nd Commandment.
Sin is a transgression of God's Law and these churches make no apology or even try to justify their transgressions of the Royal Law of God. The obvious reason is the heterodox traditions of these churches generate material wealth and exert religious control over the people in these churches.
Now the pending struggle is the FINAL STRUGGLE. It is against the Antichrist Vatican false prophet pope's global apostate church. Will churches become Orthodox in truth and stand to resist the antichrist church or join and be part of the antichrist church. Will they love and stand with the orthodox Jew, or join with the antichrist to kill them? Today's FINAL STRUGGLE is really TRUE Orthodoxy verses the antichrist global church.
Two totally different views of the universe. Christian and Antichristian is the nature of this struggle. Is it truly Orthodox, or will it carry an Orthodox name to try to hide its antichrist heterodox reality? Will it lead to Heaven or Hell?
The final struggle is no longer conservative or liberal theology. Now it is Christ or Antichrist. Orthodox or heterodox today, means Christ or Antichrist, Heaven or Hell.
Let not many of you become religious teachers, or masters, or rulers, for the Word of God in James 3:1 says you will be judged more severely. Whatever you teach in error, in heterodoxy, you will be held accountable before God for everyone you so mislead. It truly is time for church leaders to repent or perish.
It is time for all to determine if they are in a church that is Orthodox like that established by the Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ. Is Jesus Christ TRULY the Lord of you and your church? Does your church follow the antichrist Roman pope with the blatant violations of the 2nd and 4th commands of God's Royal Law? Does you church remember to keep holy the day God said, or the one the pope said? Does your church teach to pray to mother Mary, saints, or to the ONLY Mediator between God and man? 1Tim 2:5
