You are right dear Ephrem fr. Siluan lives in wrong era. But fortunately he does not live in Soviet times. Because if he used to
then many people would have been sent in exile by him to Siberia!
I am not the Admin of this Forum, but I have to say that the way of talking in this thread is unbelievable!
Sava, nobody has the permission to talk to or about a PRIEST in this disrespectful way. And I do not want to hear any kind of jokes against a true orthodox priest here anymore!
Which is your jurisdiction? Are you true orthodox? If yes, I do not see any reason to hide your jurisdiction! But you hide it. Why?
There is a sad development of disunity between GOC. STOC and RTOC. This is the work of the devil. Why do we give the devil the trophy of victory in this case?
Only when we understand that selfishness and self-glory are bad and non-orthodox properties, against which we have to fight every day, and when we do not try to stop increasing ourselves over other people, the devil will win against true orthodoxy.
We all true orthodox people have to remember on our struggle. What is it, for what we are fighting? What is this, what we stand for? What is, what GOD wants? GOD, the LORD and SAVIOR is the center and the most important, not we or our own fleeting glory! True Orthodoxy means the protection of the holy tradition of the church of Christ (paradosis), the struggle against ecumenism, sergianism, modernism and all this trash. True orthodoxy is not hate, one of the basics of our faith is love. We all have to learn to forgive each others. Instead of "discussing" in dispute, we should pray!
I am an unworthy sinner and my words are not much worth but I hope you got what I meant.
Orthodoxy or Death!
