ECOLOGY AND THE ORTHODOX DOCTRINE

Translated from the original by Chris Tsilikas

The wildfires that broke out last August in Greece and the wildfires that had occurred in August 2007 not only caused great suffering and damage to my country, but they also proved once again how mankind degrades the environment.

So, we have decided to see whether the thought and the teachings of the Great Ecclesiastical Fathers of Eastern Christianity, especially of Basil the Great (known as Basil of Caesarea), of Gregory the Theologian (known as Gregory of Nazianzus) and of John Chrysostom, could be of any help in approaching the environment in a totally different way, so that we would be able – in the long run – to solve the huge Environmental Problems we’re facing today.

CONNECTION OF THE “WATCHTOWER” AND THE “BEAST” OF THE UNITED NATIONS

The book of Watchtower "Revelation - Its Grand Climax At Hand!" p. 247: The United Nations is the "beast" of the Apocalypse!!!

When a few months earlier we started our blogspot, the Watchtower-stop, our basic norm and principle was to include only our own articles and not any other publications. Although this is true today as well, we all know that every norm has its exceptions. And we are about to welcome such an exception in our blogspot today. It’s an article written by an invigorated fighter of heresies, Mr. Efthimios Zoulianitis.

Mr Efthimios Zoulianitis is the publisher and editor of the monthly eight-page magazine “The Fighting Orthodoxy”. In the pages of this magazine readers can find epistles to heretics and especially to “Jehovah’s Witnesses”.

JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES AND CHARITY

Translated from the original by Chris Tsilikas

THE PREACHING IS FOR THE OTHER PEOPLE – NOT FOR US!

Once, in a village somewhere in Greece, during the Church Service the priest came to analyze the extract from the Gospel which referred to the importance of charity. After he had said everything he had to say he reached the point where the gospel says: “Anyone who has two cloaks, he should give the one to that person who has none”. “Well”, said the priest, “since we don’t wear cloaks today but coats, if we have two coats and we know that a poor person does not have any, we should give him one of our coats.”

His wife happened to be among the people who had gathered to hear his preaching. When she went back home while she was doing the housework, she heard a knock at the door. When she opened the door she came face to face with a miserable, poor old man, almost naked, shaking from the chilly weather, since it was winter, who was asking for any kind of help. The priest’s wife having her husband’s words still echoing in her mind, decided to suit her action to his word, so he dashed to their bedroom and brought one of the priest’s coat – the warmest and the most expensive – to the surprised beggar. A few days later when the priest looked for his coat and couldn’t find it asked his wife where it was. Then the priest’s wife, who had proudly kept her action for a surprise, filled with happiness narrated the incident with the beggar. Amazed as the priest was, he answered, “The preaching is for the other people, my wife, not for us!”

THE “EVIL” GOD OF THE OLD TESTAMENT

Translated from the original by Chris Tsilikas

Michelangelo: The creation of Adam

THE “IMMORAL” OLD TESTAMENT
‘God, protect me from my friends. My enemies, I know them.’

This clever proverb fits nicely the abuse the Holy Bible has been subjected to, not so much by its enemies but by the Christians themselves. And this is due to the fact that it has been and it is still conceived legitimately and morally, yet, the magnificent message it carries for the salvation of mankind is been neglected.

THE ‘DRACULAS’ OF THE ‘WATCHTOWER’ ARE THIRSTY FOR OUR BLOOD!!

Translated from the original by Chris Tsilikas

It is a fact that, in general, Jehovah’s Witnesses (JWs) give the impression of benevolent individuals full of love and affectionate interest for their neighbour, of individuals that can never be malicious towards their neighbour even when they are persecuted by him. They even claim something like that for themselves, comparing themselves with harmless sheep that are distinguished for their complete lack of hatred and animosity.

Yet, is this true?

Unfortunately, although we would love to agree and not to be presented as the bad guys in this case, the publications of the Company do not allow us to do so; which publications can only cause terror, abhorrence and profound contemplation as they give vent to intense rage and to an unusual and inexplicable hatred against all those who don’t belong to the Organisation.

HERESIES IN THE AGE OF THE APOSTLES

Translated from the original by Chris Tsilikas

Simon the Magus offers money to the Apostles Peter and John to take the Holy Spirit

Most people believe that heresies are a modern phenomenon that shows lack of faith in our times. Most of them will be surprised to find out that heresies not only have been with us for thousands of years now, but they are also as old as Christianity itself. In addition, some of them are reported in the books of the New Testament, too. Therefore, we have decided to dedicate an article to the heresies or sects that existed in the Age of the Apostles.

THE MEMORIAL OF CHRIST’S DEATH OR THE ELEVATOR OF THE WATCHTOWER

Translated from the original by Chris Tsilikas

These monsters are the “Saints” of the Watchtower!!!

Every year, during the last days of March and the first days of April Jehovah’s Witnesses (JWs) are used to getting out on the streets to invite the world to a ceremony the Watchtower holds, called “The Memorial of Christ’s death” or “The Memorial” for short. This year this ceremony has been fixed for 9th April.

During this ceremony The Last Supper is reproduced and all the members of the Watchtower are called to partake of the materials that have the name of “emblems” and which are nothing other than…. hardtack and red wine, and which according to the Watchtower symbolize Christ’s body and blood...

INFANT BAPTISM: right or wrong?

Translated from the original by Mary Moutafis

One of the favourite subjects of the heretics or the followers of any other Christian doctrine – Jehovah’s Witnesses, Pentecostalists, Evangelicalists, etc. – with which they believe that they will bring us to a position of disadvantage, is also the issue of baptizing infants. Since you baptize your children when they are infants, they say, they cannot offer any objection. ‘Where is the freedom of will, then’ they continue. But let us analyze all the above in the following article...

THEOTOKOS: Virgin Mary or Maria?

Transated from the original by Chris Tsilikas

Annunciation of Theotokos

It is a fact that all the heresies or the followers of any other Christian doctrine – Jehovah’s Witnesses, Pentecostalists, Evangelicalists, etc. – degrade Virgin Mary as a figure. More specifically all kinds of heresies support that:
Virgin Mary had other children too, apart from Jesus...

JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES: APOPHATISM AND… HOMELESS GOD

Translated from the original by Chris Tsilikas

WHAT IS APOPHATISM?
The term “apophatism” was introduced quite early in Christianity in an attempt to protect the divinity of God from heathen and anthropocentric perceptions. The first genes of apophatism can be detected in the New Testament. Apostle Paul, first of all, writes in his epistle to Romans referring to God’s justice towards irreverent people: “But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)” (Epistle to the Romans, 3:5). ..

THE JUDGEMENT OF NON-CHRISTIANS AFTER DEATH

Translated from the original by Chris Tsilikas

One of the most frequently-asked questions devoted Christians address to us is that concerning the Judgement of non-Christians after death. In other words, they ask us if it is possible for non-Christians to be saved or if it is only the Christians who are finally saved.
For this reason, we’ll try to give some “clues” as answers to that question, always based on the texts of the Holy Bible. And we say “clues” because our human weakness and insignificance do not allow us to interpret God’s will. Because He is the one who is in charge of judging all of us and He has his own criteria which are far from the human criteria.
First and foremost, we should remind to all of you that our Christ revealed His Father as the Father of all people. Since God is our Father then, his interest is in saving all His children, Christians and non-Christians. And this is made explicit in several texts in both the Old and the New Testament....

WITNESSES OF JEHOVAH: THE SALESMEN OF GOD!

Translated from the original by Mary Routsias

What should not be forgotten and overlooked is the fact that Jehovah’s Witnesses belong to an Organisation. Therefore, when somebody opens his door to a Jehovah’s witness, he/she should know that behind the smiley and benevolent individual who is standing before his/her eyes, there exists an entire Organisation; an unscrupulous Organisation under the name of “Watchtower” aiming at trapping as many innocent victims as possible, with profit as its ultimate goal...

GOD AND BIG EXPLOSION

Translated from the original by Chris Tsilikas

The following article was written on the occasion of the experiment which is currently being carried out on the French–Swiss borders, in order to validate the theory of the creation of the universe known as The Big Bang (The Big Explosion).
First of all, we would like to explain that any Devoted Christian should be glad when such scientific experiments are being carried out, because these experiments can help people comprehend the majesty of God’s creations...
