St.
Chrysostom, homily on Genesis 6:8-10 Do you
see the extremity of the wickedness of the people of that time? ...Have you learnt...that
he alone stood out from the crowd of them and traveled in the opposite direction?
...perhaps some people place no credence in the things of the future that cannot be
seen with the naked eye...you should learn that God is no respecter of persons...it
was natural that the person who was bent on practicing virtue in opposition
to everybody else would have to incur mockery and scorn...he scorned not only ten, or
twenty, or one hundred, but even the whole of the human race... Naturally
they all mocked him...and perhaps would have liked to tear him limb from limb...he was
faultless by comparison with his contemporaries. Noe pleased God. “Noe,”
it says, “was a man.” Notice also the ordinary name given the
good man applicable
to us all rather than a title of distinction...since the other people had
lost the
status of human beings through falling into the pleasures of the flesh, this
man retained
the character of human alone...he alone was a human being, whereas the others
weren't...they reverted to the irrationality of wild animals. Sacred
Scripture assigns
the names of wild beasts to human beings, rational creatures that they should be, in the
event of their lapsing into evil... “They turned into rutting
horses.” Elsewhere,
“Poison of serpents on their lips;” Again it calls them dumb
dogs. And again,
“Like a deaf adder that blocks its ears...”
(Set on Genesis, vol. 2 of 3) “But
as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man
be.” “…when
the Son of man cometh, shall he find the Faith on the earth?” |
I had
traveled only part way in my spiritually journey when I first went to the
modern Eastern Orthodox Churches seeking what I was told it had, historical
continuity, commitment to doctrine and changelessness with the One Faith of
Jesus Christ. At that point I had learned well that the scholastic influences
of Augustine were evil, that Freemasonry was satanic and that the World Council
of Churches (
WCC)
were a false union like that of the Antichrist. I was also aware that it is
very important to make certain that The Faith (doctrine and teaching of the
Lord) is kept at all costs, for Faith is an integral part of Life. The Orthodox
excused themselves from falsehood by saying they were
only a witness to the WCC, that seemed reasonable at the time, for I saw so
much of what the Church had been in them. I was received in an Athonite style
baptism by the command of Elder Ephraim. I was questioned by my parish priest
when I commented that Freemasonry was a false religion. This raised my
suspicions. I then shortly learned, while pursuing monasticism, that Orthodox are far more than a mere witness in the WCC. They were its
leaders and presidents. The Orthodox in the WCC practice and participate in
worship services and prayer meetings with Shamans, Warlocks, medicine men, Islams, Buddhists, Catholics, Protestants of nearly every
sect, and other false spiritualities. These conciliar acts of union have been
titled, “To Pray With One Voice to the Lord”
and “Historic Liturgies”. Since then I have been confirming over
and over that this has continued for decades, almost 100 years, till this very
time now. I had learned that the Patriarchs, for generations, for several
centuries, have been and are satanic
Freemasons
Patriarchs are also in league with atheistic Communists. I do not know
how this could be left unresolved but it has been. I learned that Orthodox had
been commemorating the arch-heretic
Augustine
and calling him a Saint (holy), Blessed and Divine,
for centuries. I learned many other bad things, like the creation and
innovation of
God the Father Icons hundreds of years ago.
I had been told that the Orthodox anathematized the
