A FINAL
WARNING:
THE LAST DAYS ARE NOT COMING, THEY ARE ALREADY UPON US! For those
with eyes to see and ears to hear, pay close attention: America's
economic, military, educational decline, the unprecedented severe
drought in California, along with the extreme heat wave in much of
the country and the unusually cold winters over much of the
northeastern United States, is no mere coincidence, it all coincides
with America's spiritual and moral decline and our turning away from
God. They go hand in hand, for as Scripture tells us; "Righteousness
exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." - See more

Until recently, most scholars agreed that
Orthodox Christians didn’t really exist. Like werewolves, fairies
and Romanians, they were simply a charming
Old World
fable designed to delight children with outlandish details
regarding the rich, luxurious beards and interminable arguments
about the proper interpretation of Greek or Latin words.
Orthodox Christians are known by many national
names so as to preserve the culture of the area they have been
established in over the centuries from the time of Jesus Christ
and His Holy Apostles. Orthodox Catholic Christianity and they
are not a part of the various cultic Protestant groups who are the
'bastard' daughters of the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic
Church.
For it is true indeed that the very root, ground
and base of all things CHRISTIAN is in Orthodox Catholic
Christianity! It is indeed VERY TRUE when you are told that the
very idea, word and term "Catholic" does not mean "Roman" for
Catholicism itself came out of that which is called Orthodox
Christianity upon which is founded, grounded and based the very
Life and Teachings of Jesus and from which the Roman Jurisdiction
of the Catholic Church schismed (separated) themselves from
because they could not, would not and will not maintain all that
they had initially inherited.
The Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church
separated (schismed in 1054 A.D.) because it could not and would
not (persisting to this very day) in maintaining blasphemous ideas
that they are right and all others are wrong, such as a Pope
(Bishop) who is the only one who can and does speak for Jesus
Christ by holding power and control over all other bishops which
the Orthodox Catholic Christianity does not and never did abide by
for it was never a part of true Orthodox Catholic
Christianity.
Upon further reflection, some scholars now
cautiously hazard the guess that there are roughly 250 million
Orthodox Christians in the world, with a lineage stretching back
to the earliest days of the Church. As for what these strange,
chanting, hirsute folk actually believe, though, no one is yet
confident enough to hazard a guess.
Orthodoxy
(Orthodox Catholic Christianity is not a "denomination" because it
is the root, ground and base of the Church "Christianity"
established by Jesus Christ and the Holy Apostles... it is the
beginning and end of a virtually unbroken chain from the Year One
until the present, and the repository of wisdom from many hundreds
of "fathers" and "mothers" of the church -- saints, monastics,
hierarchs, theologians and just fellow-seekers.

A
Canonical Orthodox Church of World Wide Orthodoxy
|
Continued
from above....
Any Orthodox church
will be the "port in a storm" for me, whether I find
myself (as I have) in Johannesburg, Calcutta, Vladivostok or San
Diego -- if the prayers are in Greek, Bengali, Church Slavonic or
English, they are the very same prayers.
The doctrine is
straight (the literal meaning of "orthodoxy") from the
scriptures, as interpreted by the Church over time, especially in
ecumenical councils (that is, not by any one pontiff, expert or
authority, but by the whole Body of Christ).
The Orthodox
Church will never remove "belief in Jesus Christ" as a
tenet, and does not offer Holy Communion to those with whom we are
not in communion (shared beliefs), but will comfort even
non-believers, for the Samaritan is our neighbor, whatever he
believes. If we reserve the consecrated bread for those who
believe it to be The Body, we give another kind of bread to the
visitor to the Church, in a gesture of hospitality and
caring.
Tend toward conservatism and you will
find many who will be with you - Orthodoxy does conserve what is
most valuable and only changes ever so slowly. On the other hand,
any Orthodox Christian should be liberal -- with his gifts and
talents, with what wealth God has given him, and with his
compassion. Many would say that the death penalty is "right"
and abortion "left" -- the Church says "He is the
life" - conversely, then, life is "Him" wherever we
find it.
Government power or control is an interesting
question for Orthodox. Did the conversion of Emperor Constantine
save the Church by expanding its influence, or endanger the Church
by diluting the purity of its message? Constantine is recognized
as a saint, but few Orthodox are out trying to elect the next
president on the basis of how "Orthodox" he
is.
Orthodoxy is definitely "so tradition bound
as to even believe in God" - but if you are looking
for perfection, this is not it. The Orthodox Church, like each
individual human being, has aspects of divinity and of humanity -
fallen humanity, sordid and sometimes awful humanity. We have our
disgusting scandals right now (not for the first time in history).
But while you will not hear much talk in Orthodox circles of an
"invisible Church," there is certainly the Church that
we pray to have continue, which is better than any current set of
hierarchs, better than any particular parish (even the healthiest
and most pious), better than any one of us, its members. That is
the Body of Christ, to which we both belong and aspire.
"Church"
means "Faith of the people" - literally
speaking. Not a 4-cornered structure which was, in ancient
times referred to as a "temple".
History
shows and therefore it is a fact of truth that the Church came
before the Bible and that the Bible came about as a direct result
of the Church which was established by Jesus Christ and His Holy
Apostles of whom we are their genuine successors for so long as
each bishop or hierarch, according to his nature and degree of
ability, maintains the faith in both spirit and in truth!
There are many versions of Holy Scripture being given out and SOLD
today, but one has to ask "which
one"
is the right one? A good question that begs for an
answer. Click
Here to find out!
The
root, ground and base of all things Catholic and Christian is in
that which today is known as Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox,
Ukrainian Orthodox, American Orthodox and many other nationalistic
names. The Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church
schismed from the Orthodox Catholic Christian Church in 1054 A.D.
as history proves, thus the Roman jurisdiction of the Catholic
Church is not the whole sum and substance of what it means to be
"Catholic" neither in spirit or in truth! History
cannot be denied... and as Saint John Maximovitch of Shanghai &
San Francisco so aptly stated, "
Never,
never, never let anyone tell you that, in order to be Orthodox,
you must also be eastern. The West was Orthodox for a thousand
years, and her venerable liturgy is far older than any of her
heresies, "
who caused that which is known as her Protestant children!
How
old is your church?
If you belong to the
Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church, it was originally a
part of that which, by various nationalist names was considered a
part of Orthodox Catholic Christianity until (officially) she
schismed due to heretical inventions and actions that culminated
in 1054 A.D. It is not the ground, root and base of
Christianity whatsoever, but outside of that which began with
Orthodox Catholic Christianity. Orthodox Catholic Christianity is
the very root, ground and base of all things CHRISTIAN (being true
followers of the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ and His Holy
Apostles). No other Church can hold to such a claim either
in spirit or truth!
If you are a member of
the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic, your church shared the
same rich apostolic and doctrinal heritage as the Orthodox Church
for the first thousand years of its history, since during the
first millennium they were one and the same Church. Lamentably, in
1054, the Pope of Rome broke away from the other four Apostolic
Patriarchies (which include Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch
and Jerusalem), by tampering with the Original Creed of the True
Church which has been and is the root,
ground and base of all things Christian, of all things Catholic
Christian. The various doctrines, theologies of
the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church and
by its Pope considered him to be infallible as has been
maintained by her successors who sit in the chair of Peter at the
Vatican (Rome). Thus your church is at most,
1,000 years old and why it's "Catholicity is in
serious question as well as why it is just a Jurisdiction for all
Catholicity began with Holy Orthodoxy that has
been maintained for more than 2,000 years".
The
Orthodox Church, by various national names, has been and continues
to be the Religion and not a denomination!
If you are a Lutheran,
your denomination was founded by Martin Luther, an ex-monk of the
Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church, in the year 1517.
Martin Luther was never defrocked, deposed or
excommunicated from or by the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic
Church. But those who were his successors have done serious
harm and damage it is alleged.
If you belong to the
Church of England, your denomination was founded by King Henry
VIII in the year 1534 because the Pope of the Roman Jurisdiction
of the Catholic Church would not grant him a divorce with the
right to re-marry.
If you are a
Presbyterian, your denomination was founded by John Knox in
Scotland in the year 1560.
If you are a
Congregationalist, your religion was originated by Robert Brown in
Holland in 1582.
If you are Protestant
Episcopalian, your denomination was an offshoot of the Church of
England, founded by Samuel Seabury in the American colonies in the
17th century.
If you are a member of
the Baptist denomination, you owe the tenets of your religion to
John Smyth, who launched it in Amsterdam in 1606.
If you are of the
Dutch Reformed Church, you recognize Michaelis Jones as founder
because he originated your religion in New York in 1628.
If you are a
Methodist, your religious denomination was founded by John and
Charles Wesley in England in 1774.
If you are a
Unitarian, Theophilus Lindley founded your church in London in
1774.
If you are a Mormon
(Latter Day Saints), Joseph Smith started your cultic religion in
Palmyra, New York, in 1829.
If you worship with
the Salvation Army, your sect began with William Booth in London
in 1865.
If you are Christian
Scientist, you look to 1879 as the year in which your cultic
religion was born and to Mary Baker Eddy as its founder.
If you belong to one
of the religious organizations known as "Church of the
Nazarene, Pentecostal Gospel," "Holiness Church,"
or "Jehovah's Witnesses," your cultic religion is one of
the hundreds of new cultic sects founded by men within the past
hundred years not grounded upon or in the Life & Teachings of
Jesus Christ.
If you are Orthodox
Catholic Christian,
known by many "Orthodox" nationalistic names,
yours was founded in the year 33 by Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
and His Holy Apostles. It has not changed since that time.
Orthodox Catholic Christianity is not a new religion or even a
denomination, for it is the root, ground and base of all things
CHRISTIAN and CATHOLIC (before the Roman Jurisdiction schismed in
1054 A.D.).
Orthodox Catholic
Christianity is now almost 2,000 years old or older. And, it is
for this reason, that Orthodoxy, the Church of the Apostles and
the Fathers is considered the true "One,
Holy, (Orthodox),
Catholic and Apostolic Church" for which cause this
Jurisdiction (the American Orthodox Church and the North American
Orthodox Church) has said it belongs to that which is a member of
the "One, Holy, Orthodox, Catholic and Apostolic Church"
even though such we were given from St. Tikhon
(Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church) in times past, the Toma
(Decree) of autonomy and autocephaly. The purpose was
due to the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church's insidious
and adamant obstinacy in continuing to preach and teach that which
is in violation of the ancient Holy Spirit inspired Seven
Ecumenical Councils, especially in North
America.
