Why does the media have a grudge against the Orthodox Church?
>Pope Francis' enormous popularity -- his Twitter accounts in different languages have a total of about 30 million followers, about as many as Bill Gates and more than Adele -- is a consequence of his openness to diversity and a softer approach to dogma. He represents a modernized Catholic Church. By contrast, the world's second biggest Christian denomination is proving so resistant to modernization that its plans to adopt some timid changes for the first time since the year 787 have fallen through.
>While tanks and artillery have been Russia’s weapons of choice to project its power into neighboring Ukraine and Georgia, Mr. Putin has also mobilized faith to expand the country’s reach and influence. A fervent foe of homosexuality and any attempt to put individual rights above those of family, community or nation, the Russian Orthodox Church helps project Russia as the natural ally of all those who pine for a more secure, illiberal world free from the tradition-crushing rush of globalization, multiculturalism and women’s and gay rights.
The pope literally apologized to Trump. Kek is the only true god.

Because they don't have anywhere near the level of degeneracy the MSM uses to bash other Christian denoms. No pedo scandals, have cultural integrity, not proselytizing. Even financial scandals dont stick because most walk away envious of their wizardry

Any hint of conservative thinking will get the globalists pissy. The Catholic church has been badly infiltrated, especially given the current pope. With Europeans, Orthodox looks to be the only escape back to some conservative and anti-globalist group.
In the USA, it is the more traditional protestants (Baptists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodists, and Anglicans [not Episcopalians]) that tend to have anti-globalist attitudes, save for pockets of highly conservative Catholic and Orthodox churches.

By observing boths actions, Cathocucks are on board with the blasphemous agenda, the orthodox don't seem to be, Orthodoxy follows the bible, Cathocucks follow what is promoted by the liberal media. I am a non denominational protestant but thats the way I see this. Any way fuck the pope.
Non-stop fishing done by charities, singers might as well be beggars.
It's like orthodoxy is somehow the only uncucked branch of christianity left
Thomas Richardson
The Pope is not an atheist, he is simply taking his idiotic religion seriously
Right Wing politics are concerned with the long-term survival of Civilization
Christianity is only concerned with personal salvation to become part of a nebulous afterlife for which no evidence exists, and for which this world needs to be sacrificed, which is best expressed in the way early christians like Martin of Tours refused to fight enemies of their nations, insofar killing in this world could cost them heaven
When Jesus says "if they take your coat, let them have your shirt as well", "do not resist evil", "I have come to turn a man against his own household", "if you don't hate your self and your own family you can't follow me", "love your enemies, pray for your persecutors", "the meek will inherit the Earth", "those that wanna die will live", "blessed are those the persecuted, for they will be my Kingdom", "do not save treasures for tomorrow", "carry your cross so that you can receive eternal reward", "Sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you'll have treasure in heaven", "it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for the rich to enter Heaven", "Woe to you who are well fed, Woe to you who laugh, for you will mourn and weep"...
... he is not kidding, or meaning the opposite, but actually setting down a morality where the world is a lie and only the afterlife is the real deal, so destroying your life in this world, "carrying your cross" as he says, is completely logical
Cred Forums "christians" seem to believe Jesus actually meant the OPPOSITE of all that: Jesus wants you to defend your family, Jesus wants you to kill your enemies, to become prosperous, well-fed and rich in this world, and to avoid persecution and death!
Isaac Morris
Only a person that does not actually believe in the Heaven for dying a martyr and eternal reward bullshit would actually re-interpret Christianity as a cult of earthly power which declares "the strong shall inherit the Earth" and "destroy the enemies of your nation"
Alexander Turner
ELCA and the PCUSA have gay marriage, they are the largest Lutheran and Presbyterian denominations in the U.S. Also the Methodists are in full communion with the ELCA and close to full communion with the Episcopal Church--they are considering gay marriage for this reason

The most traditionalist people in Orthodoxy are the monks, who live the ascetic life of common property, silence and humility preached by Christ. For instance, Father Seraphim Rose was a well recognized monastic, and he wrote "Nihilism," which was an anti-modernist work that advocated absolute monarchy.
Jeremiah Wood
Okay, should have specified that Lutheran Missouri Synod and Wisconsin Synod are the conservative ones, and the Episcopal church is dying hard as people flock to other conservative denominations or the Anglican church.
Hunter Hall
What else did you expect?
If Christianity was about creating long-term civilizations for which no apocalypse exists, Peter and Paul would have rebelled against the romans and established a divine kingdom with holy blessings
Instead of that, they carried their crosses as Jesus demanded, welcomed their martyrhoods and deaths while praying for their enemies
Chase Reed
The depictions you've seen of Dagon are just hypothetical depictions, they aren't actually from ancient times.
Ethan Morris

Jack Ward
Praying for your enemies means pray they turn from their wickedness, not to wish happy things and unicorns for them.
And it was Christianity that gave rise to the west, with the only reason why it is now sinking is due to a heavily concerted effort by the Jews to turn everyone away from Christianity and embrace self-destructive tenants secularism and atheism.

Luke Clark
> The most traditionalist people in Orthodoxy are the monks
Which is an oxymoron, Christianity is fundamentally revolutionary and anti-traditionalism
Traditionalism says "The crop of the future has its roots in the past", while Jesus altogether overrides that, declaring that the end of the world is coming soon, rendering concerns about the future, about civilizational survival, pointless
Are you really surprised that it was Jesus that declared "think not of the tomorrow, think not of saving goods for the future in this world"?
To assume that Jesus wanted, not to declare the coming apocalypse and the arrival of the utopia that the poor, the wretched and the meek would inherit.. but to create the roots of an earthly civilization that would survive for millions of years, rooted in traditional culture, (the very culture that the early christians worked overtime to eliminate, going as far as banning the Olympic games) is outright laughable
the opinions of individual monks are completely irrelevant for the metapolitics that Christianity clearly implies in the Gospel
Samuel Nguyen
>thinking the pope is better than anyone else >thinking he has any divine right

Catholic scum believe this. They believe that the pope can talk to God personally. They think him and the clergy are the most pious of all.
Thats why they wear silk and gold embroidered robes, and walk around with gold staves encrusted with diamond, sapphire, ruby and emerald.
My ass! if Jesus came to earth it would be the temple moneylenders 2.0. He would be whipping all the priests, clergy, cardinals and the pope.

Christianity is the religion that spread through the roman empire thanks to the widespread net of synagogues that the jews had created
To believe that Jews wanted Christianity not to spread is ahistorical, for it was the pharisee Paul himself that brought it to the goyim!
Mason Walker
The overwhelming majority of people who identify as Orthodox don't even go to church or practice. They identify as that because they are Greek or Russian etc.
Joshua Richardson
He would be whipping the Pope for doing what exactly?
Jesus didn't promise their follower an earthly kingdom that would last forever if their followed his religion
Jesus promised nothing but persecution and death until his final coming
It is like Christians here in Cred Forums dont believe in the whole "Apocalypse" and "plan of God" thing, they don't believe that the meek and persecuted will inherit the Earth after Jesus' coming!
They wanna have the cake of this earth and eat it!
Parker Turner
Christianity must change.
Christianity has a great kind "soft" arm, people in general dont want to kill or harm others, they want to help, nurture and take care of people.
But we need a strong branch of Christianity, I am talking about purging homosexuals, marxism, Islam, Paladin crusader type of thing.
If litteral demons attack earth, it's every Christians duty to pick up arms and slay the beasts, yes? We need to have a strongarm branch, the sword and shield of our religion, while those who are not up to the task can symbolicly feed the hungry, take care of the needy etc. Both forces do good.
Joshua Diaz
he hasn't 'modernised' the church, he's just spun the message
how are these writers so fucking ignorant i hate this shit
Eli Wilson
>Christianity is the religion that spread through the roman empire thanks to the widespread net of synagogues that the jews had created Ah, no. Christian worship was on Sunday, and while there was persecution, it was generally at peoples's houses. Christians and Jews were completely severed identities after Bar Kokhba, a man most Jews held to be the Messiah, tortured and murdered thousands of Christians for refusing to join his army against the Romans.
You can blame the soft fruity 'Christ Nice' doctrine, no doubt cooked up by regressives
Caleb Campbell
Also to add, Jews would never allow Gentiles into their super secret club reject the core pillar of Christianity (Jesus the Messiah), and are hostile to anyone who dares claim they're part of God's flock instead of it being only for the Jews. Where as Christianity seeks to spread the good news of God
Eli Hall

Bar Kokhba rebellion' happened one hundred year after Christianity' spread through the empire
Paul activately used the net of synagogues through the mediterranean to spread his cult
> When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue. 2As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbaths he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3explaining and proving that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ,”
I mean really, why is it that non-christians always know more about the gospel than christians?
Isaac Cox
Because unlike the pope they won't bend their views to suit whatever is popular at the time.
Anthony Green
Yeah, regressives like Paul and Peter
Jesus actually wanted Paul and Peter to scream "Deus Vult" and recreate the maccabean kingdom, the whole "love your enemies", "embrace your cross", and "pray for those that persecute you"... those were jokes
Paul and Peter misunderstood the jokes and submitted to martyrhood, poor guys

he would be whipping him for clothing himself in gold whilst most followers of Christianity live in poverty and some even die of hunger

He would be whipping him for forgetting his teachings about being amongst the poor; instead opting to live in a gated citadel made of gold, silver and crystal.
Everything he taught and the Catholic church went against.
>its alright guys, im sure he wasnt telling us specifically to do any of that. Im sure he only meant the commoners. We can still have that orgy and massive feast we have planned on saturday
what about selling indulgences? forgiving sins for money. I dont remember Jesus saying anything about a material price for sin

Aaron Stewart
It is more of the case of right wing "christians" being forced to bend the Gospel in order to justify not to cuck themselves into national suicide, more than anything else
Here we have "christians" that believe that Jesus didn't promise persecution and death for his followers in this earth, but an ever-lasting earthly civilization!

Xavier Brooks
There's still hope for the Catholic Church:
>"On the question of how to deal with divorced and remarried Catholics, [Pope Francis] has been until this week an exponent of persuasion and the long war of manoeuvre. He summoned two meetings of bishops from around the world... and had them argue with unprecedented ferocity in public over whether and how the Catholic church should recognise second marriages."
>"One of the leading conservatives, Cardinal Robert Sarah, compared western sexual liberalism to Isis – both, apparently, sent from the devil: “We need to be inclusive and welcoming to all that is human; but what comes from the Enemy cannot and must not be assimilated. You can not join Christ and Belial! What Nazi-Fascism and Communism were in the 20th century, Western homosexual and abortion Ideologies and Islamic Fanaticism are today.”
>"Sarah has also demanded that priests celebrate the mass with their backs to the congregation, as they did before the great changes to Catholic worship brought about the second Vatican council in the 1960s."
Based Sarah ought to succeed Francis as pope. It'd break lefties with him being both Native African and strictly against Western Degeneracy and Islam.
Jose Martin
>Paul activately used the net of synagogues through the mediterranean to spread his cult He went to synagogues and converted Jews. Gentiles couldn't go to synagogue. Most Jews rejected Paul, so it didn't really help that much.

Jayden Ortiz

Lucas Wright
Well, how?
I mean really, what is exactly your expectation exactly?
That the meek WONT inherit the Earth? That Jesus ALWAYS meant the opposite of what he said?
That the whole "christians will face persecution and martyrhood" until his return thing was just an epic meme, that what Jesus wanted all along as for humans to live happily in this Earth instead of rejecting it?
I mean really, if you are a christian, why would you complain about being oppressed or persecuted? Does not that mean that the coming of Jesus is coming closer?
Does not that imply that you may finally get a chance to prove your loyalty to him?
Isaac Richardson
Good thing Jesus was just some deluded sandnigger killed 2 millenia ago for being subversive to the Romans.

Catholic church is herasy, they litterly worship the sun, Nimrod worship and "Mother Mary" is blashphemy, Semiramis in another name.
Redpill yourself, catholicism is pagan worship disguised as Christianity. Thank you very much, great content Great stuff, we should have similiar but not catholic denomination.
Thomas Cooper
He went with the Jews because he literally believed that Jesus was the completion of the jewish religion, and he wasn't wrong
the Jews that converted did so because they realized Paul was onto something good, they could guilt-trip the stupid goyim out of their finances using Christianity (as they did!)
Kevin Cox
Jesus used the whip over moneychangers ripping people off in the Temple. Not because the Temple was beautiful, God said for it to be such in the Old Testament.
Chase Perez
The only reason that Christianity has been so successful in western society was because it was altered to suit the needs of the state. It doesn't matter what Jesus wanted, what matters is following the dogma that the church has successfully espoused for several millennia.
Nolan Murphy
>So Jesus would whip the Pope because niggers starve while the Vatican remains a quasi-pagan temple of earthly beauty
yes, the Catholic church has become the Jewish Moneylenders of old and Jesus would be the first to bring out the whip upon their asses

That is an absurd rewrite of story that Christians did, that flies in the face of the behavior of Paul during Acts
Would not Paul be suffering assassination attempts whenever he entered a synagogue if Jews were the driving force behind the death of Jesus and the main enemies of his cult?
Never mind a Roman governor obeying the will of lowly jews, the whole story of the Gospel is a bunch of non-sense

I'm not looking to spend huge amount of time to provide tons of information for you.
Anyone with sanity knows you don't support idoltry, and you definitly should never pray to "Mother Mary", only direct your prayers to God.
Take your bent crosses, sun and skull worship and shove it up your ass.
Ryan Nelson
Paul urged obedience to the Roman State (Romans 13).
Jews were not allowed to just assassinate people. Zealots (Zionists) would, but those who followed the law were generally forbidden to kill someone without the appropriate requirements of witnesses and Sanhedrin judgement. They could do mock-trials though (as what happened to James the Just, according to Josephus).
Gavin Gomez
That would only work if Christians didn't believe in Hell
the risk of "being doing the religion wrong and ending up in Hell" is just too much
The Reformation was unavoidable
> the Catholic church has become the Jewish Moneylenders
That does not make sense
The Gospel said nothing about the money-lenders ripping off people. If they had been doing that, the Gospel would have mentioned it
He "cleansed" the temple because he was fundamentally a nihilist anarchist that saw economic activities, from money changing to saving for rainy days, as evil
Robert Bailey
Protties were the one's that started the weakening of the Christian faith, lad, and today they're the largest proponents of degeneracy in the west by a large margin.
Parker Rodriguez
Christianity had multiple branches peter the romaboo made one in rone, there was one in judea, constantinople, antioch, alexsndria etc.. All of those including jews were conquered by muslims and so rome was the only one god has left.
Sebastian Perez
You are an outsider so you don't understand the basic theology. Some of your logic gets tied into knots so I'll just stick to the basics. Life itself is the way of death and corruption - what you call "survival" is only an extension of that. Will you live a longer life using selfish counter-Christian values? Perhaps, especially in a mechanistic Darwinian world. The Christian way is for a fuller life, not self-sacrificing for material ends. We are called to be "salt and light" - truth and community preservation. The Synagogue was warned and salvation offered- it was refused and the Temple utterly destroyed. Similarly Christianity came to Rome towards its own end- it kept the people going thru church administration- charities, universities, hospitals until the secular world could stand on its own in the middle ages. It is the preservation of God thru loving and humane means. Yes there is a kingdom of God that is not of this world, I would not try to convince you otherwise. But if you can't see the preservative effect of Christianity on civilization, you are seeing history thru the lens of leftwing revisionism.
Josiah Thompson
Wow. Way to be wildly wrong.
Christianity in what, 138 AD was not "spread through the empire", Paul did not start any cults, and Paul was dead well before bar Kokhba was born.
So no, you don't know jack shit about Christianity, per usual, and certainly not more than a Christian does. That would be like me saying I know more about sucking dicks in Panama than you do!
Jason Young
Are you new to Cred Forums?
As soon as Christianity became the official religion and banned all pagan cults, it also banned christians from money-lending, making the Jews the only available money-lenders through the middle ages, a position that would eventually land them in the dominant role they have now
The myth of Christian anti-semitism is just that, a myth!! If Christians were anti-semites Jews would have vanished from Europe 1500 years ago

Catholics allow scum to come out of the sewers and chill out with them like everything is okay, the media loves that and will defend degeneracy.
Its like the catholics who live in my apartment, they light mary candles whenever someone dies from a car accident, or make a cross when they see something "evil", but they also whore themselves out ot the entire building.

Gee, it's not like Jesus was being an iconoclast to the current Pharisaical Judaism at all!
Coke. Monkey dicks. Bananas. Have a nice life!

Wow... so Paul and Peter didn't get Christianity
they didn't have to submit to their martyrhoods, they had to scream deus vult and destroy the heathen... silly them
Jason Barnes
Oh, yes, those sneaky slavs are just so independent.
Fun fact. Orthodoxy is fine to preach in Russia, but Christianity is not.
Hmmmmm.....

Turning your cheek means not to pick up pointless insults and mindlessly scream and yell for a cause that won't do any good. Notice that The Bible also says an eye for an eye.

>love your enemies God loves everyone Notice how he sends people to eternal damnation though. Your mind is very clearly very simple, so I suggest you read The Bible to help you with that.

Fun fact: Orthodoxy is Christianity.
Its a good thing they don't let those cuck strands of Christianity in Russia, otherwise they would start accepting refugees and marrying gays.
William Miller
Jew worshippers are just that not catholic.
Brandon Smith
Christians always claim that in arameic languague "turning your cheek" means "not to pick up pointless insults", and I always ask: where is the evidence to such absurd claim?
Never mind, you say that as if that was the only suicidal demented thing he said
Right after that phrase, he would demand even more extreme things: "if they take your coat, give them your shirt", "if they force you to walk one mile, walk two"
the bizarrely specific "Jesus actually didn't mean you to turn your other cheek" bit is something christians can only use to fool people that have not read the whole chapter, and only know of that particular verse

Don't listen to all these idiots who lump American Protestants into one basket. However, American Protestants are trash.
On one hand, you have super liberal Protestant churches in America that have female ministers and are pro-abortion and pro-gay. On the other hand, you have conservative Protestant churches in America. While they might think they hate globalism and big government and all that, in most cases they literally worship the Jews. Many conservative Protestant ministers teach that Jews do not need to be saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, because they are the chosen people. I kid you not.
The liberal protestants will accept the premise of globalism on principle. The conservative protestants will accept the practice of globalism on faith in those pulling the strings. This is why, in America, the liberals are the thinkers and the conservatives are the soldiers.

Byzantine law oppressed them for centuries. They're still salty and curse us to this day.
that is an idiotic re-definition of the word "love", hat makes no sense whatsoever
Love is a "common, mutual interest born out of shared experience", not "I recognize that you exist, that somehow means that i love you, btw I will still kill you"
That christians and liberals try to pass insane redefinition of words as "deep" and "smart" is baffling

If your delusion you think that my replies are somehow dumb
but any thinking mind would readily start to realize "hey, this panama spic is right, Christianity's redefinition of Love is outright demented, and eerily similar to how liberals redefine words away. You don't massacre people that you love!! loving your enemies would be paralysing!"

I've seen this Panamanian anti-christian poster a dozen times, and no amount of "argument" will do anything but harden his position.
Which is coked up with a monkey chasing a banana up his ass.

So you're so butthurt about someone having an opinion online that you spam his posts across different threads daily? You are either the most assmad Christian I've ever met or a meek Cred Forumstard afraid to leave his home board. You are just as bad as barneyfag.
Hudson Phillips
You're on a math forum and every day a recognizable poster states that 2 + 2 = 5.
You gently try to correct him.
For the next six months, you see the very same poster continue to post that 2 + 2 = 5.
How long do you try to correct him?
Jaxson Murphy
> that destruction of the word Love
Well, everytime you tell your mom that you love her, I hope she realizes that you actually mean "I recognize that you exist, but if I have to kill you for my insane religion, I will"
Exactly as Jesus promised: that he would put men against his own family, mother against father, son against daughther
Brayden Ward
God loves the living and judges the dead. Take the AIDS infested bananas out of your ass and sober up while you can.
Joseph Harris
Oh the irony!!
It is you who says "2+2=5", who says "love you" means "I can kill you like a mad dog"
it is you who to embrace demented redefinitions of concepts, straight out of 1984, to embrace a religion which prophet declares "those that wanna live will die, those that wanna die will live", "the meek will inherit the Earth", "the strong will fall"!!
it is you who embraces an anti-definition of the world, while accusing me of doing so!
Noah Turner
Protestantism is pure autism. How many denominations do you have again for this supposedly simple salvation rule? Keep dividing and getting conquered.
Lincoln Wood
But you're not on a math forum, you're on a politics board, which is decided by personal opinion. That example was a fact, but there's no fact that there's a divine Christian god, so you're already done there. Secondly, if you keep correcting that individual, who in that example seems to be trying to get a rise out of people after six months of repeating himself, that makes you autistic. Look at barneyfag, /mlp/ constantly baits him from every board on the site, and he's too retarded to help but respond. You are that retard.
Adam Miller
see your own claim
that the demand that you love your own enemies is somehow linked to God's love for everyone
If your demented definition of Love, you would send your enemies to ENDLESS ETERNAL TORTURE while "loving them"
that is NOT love, you idiot, that is a crazy definition of the word Christianity did when someone ppinted out that their world was not a god of love, it was an insane god of jewish revenge and slave morality

One of the problems of Cred Forums is that interesting topics get flooded with at least halfway intelligible replies. Hard to keep track. What I am mostly defending is that Christianity is a Cred Forums topic, its themes are survival in a rapidly degenerating world. However, and this is important: >You are an outsider Your personal beliefs are naturally heterodoxical to basic Christian beliefs as set in the Creed, you don't go to church, you don't worship the Father and His Son, you don't commune with Christians. You are a self-named Christian but not an actual one. You are an outsider. Soften your heart and sharpen your senses and come back inside is the only advice I can give here. There will always come a point when it is too late and I sense you are not close to it but you will be eventually. Good luck
Julian Robinson
Because it's the last stronghold of Christianity and so long as monks from the mountains are picking church leaders, their will be no corruption like in the CC or Protesmemes.
Jayden Bennett

I did, I did, and I did too
I mean really, "come back" to what exactly?
I do not believe that the Apocalypse is a real thing any longer, the belief in Apocalypse is anti-civilizational, for starters
Bentley Carter
Because Orthodoxy is a fake faith and should finally be subject to Rome's rule. Union of Brest is a great beginning
