Orthodoxy is Lost

The Great Apostasy of these days

To see Part 2 click my simple sketch

 

   

 

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 [manhood] through falling into the pleasures of the flesh, this man

retained the character of a man alone...he alone was a man, 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. By that time 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 clear to me 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 modern 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 of Philotheou. I was questioned by my parish priest when I commented that Freemasonry was a false religion. This raised my suspicions. I then learned, while pursuing monasticism, that many modern Orthodox are far more than a mere witness in the WCC. There are modern Orthodox who are WCC leaders and even its President. Those Orthodox who are 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, until our present time. I had learned that the modern Orthodox Patriarchs, for generations and for several centuries, have been and are satanic Freemasons. Some modern Orthodox, like the rather famous Fr. Arseny, have also in league with atheistic Communists (see the book with his name as a title after page 100). All these outrageous issues have been left unresolved and so many people today accept these violations. I learned that Orthodox had been commemorating the arch-heretic Augustine and calling him a Saint (holy) or other such glorified titles such as 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 Papist Church about one thousand years ago, but the Orthodox misled me, the truth is that the Orthodox had rather recently lifted that anathema. All this, and more, mounted up to my realizing I had made a big mistake, that I had been betrayed, that modern Orthodoxy is only one of the many impostors and counterfeit religions. I have had to keep on looking and in so doing it is clear that there are false loves, wolves in sheep’s clothing, everywhere around us. I will continue to accept and hold onto the historic Faith the Lord sent and which was kept through the Ecumenical Councils. I love those people of Faith who have rightly been called Saints. I strive to imitate them and wait, watch, warn, pray, hope and love all I can with all the faith possible, so that, when the end swiftly arrives I will be ready. I will be glad to offer more information about these experiances to anyone who is willing to ask. I find myself rather alone. I have less practice of the Faith than I would like. I care about and love so much all people. I hold no personal grudges. The personal sins of others are not the issues I am concerned about at all; matters of Faith are what matter to me. The tolerance of the modern ecumenical movement and all its symptoms, like the adaptation of the Papal Calendar and Freemasonry are violations of the One Faith. The World Council of Churches and other things like Augustinianism (which in a large way helped many of these evils occur) are what the Antichrist will embrace and give out. So this is that time when even those of God might be deceived if that were possible.
