The letter below was written to us by a Greek priest who asked to be anonymous. Some commentary by our staff follows this important letter.
Dear Friend,
May the blessing of the Lord be upon you! Thank you for your website and helping get the word out on this poison shot and wicked agenda. Orthodox priests and bishops are in a real bind. This needs to be shared with the faithful. They need to pray hard for their priests and hierarchs and be careful not to judge them if they feel they are too silent.
When we priests speak out, we get shut down by fellow clergy and our hierarchs (who can suspend us or defrock us at a whim). Our hierarchs who want to speak out are threatened by their superiors and synods. Priests are in danger of losing their parishioners who have fallen for the official narrative. These parishioners feel scandalized when their priest speaks out, and consider him one of the “crazy” conspiracy theorists: The evil one uses this to convince them to leave the parish (and her Sacramental life), and they may take others with them.
So most priests will speak privately to those they believe “have ears to hear”. Another bind our clergy are in is that the vaccine is beginning to be mandated for them to visit their flock in hospitals, prisons and rest homes–thus the priest finds his access blocked to those who need him most. Some priests are being pressured by their hierarchs to take the shot. In our meetings with our fellow clergy, there is a underling contention between the vaxxed priests vs. the unvaxxed. Finally, priests have to deal with the heartache caused by those of their flock who are vaxxed, who either suffer from the effects or might suffer down the line.
Now the parents are being pushed to vax their children. If God doesn’t do something quickly, I fear we are going to experience a holocaust. Some good news. I heard one of the doctors who was a pioneer in using Ivermectin mention that they were finding that it still works even on those who are vaccinated, in that it mitigates or eliminates the adverse effects. The drawback: They need to take it more regularly, and if they stop, the symptoms come back.
Anyway, please remind people to pray for their clergy on both sides of this issue. Metropolitan Neophytos put it well. Lets agree that those Orthodox who are vaxxed should pray for the safety and well being of their fellow Christians who they feel are endangering their lives by not taking the vax….and let the unvaxxed Orthodox pray for the safety and well being of their vaxxed brothers and sisters who they feel are endangering their lives by taking the vax. That way, unity can be preserved.
In Christ,
A Greek Orthodox priest
Watching the “chatter” on Orthodox blogs and from “official” ministries, it is apparent that the division within society over the COVID “vaccines” is being reflected in the Orthodox Church. That is a shame, as society has never needed a unified Church more than it does today. The vast majority of contributors to Orthodox Reflections believe that the use of aborted fetal cells, in one capacity or another, makes the COVID shots tainted and unfit for human use.
However, none of us pry into anyone else’s life. We do not demand anyone abstain from the “vaccines.” We argue for our beliefs on the subject, but we end there. In real life, we neither volunteer our vaccine statuses nor ask anyone else about theirs. We support voluntary, informed consent for all medical procedures and the preservation of medical privacy at all times.
We believe, based on many things (including prior statements of the Russian Orthodox Church) that voluntary informed consent is the only moral position concerning these vaccines or any other medical treatment. Any coercion of any kind to force acceptance of an unwanted medical treatment (threatening educational opportunities, job loss, participation in society, church attendance, etc.) is immoral and should never be tolerated by sincere, practicing Orthodox Christians.
Perhaps it is time to heed the call to civility of this wonderful Greek priest. The daily prayer of each group (vaxxed and unvaxxed) for the other is a great place to start. Respecting each others’ free will and right to privacy would be a great way to continue.

As an Orthodox Christian I am sitting out churches that encourage the vaccine, expect masking indoors, and discourage physical veneration of icons. These issues are not addressed, singly or together, by tradition. They are unenforceable mandates directed from secular authorities. As one trained by the Army to identify and categorize chemical/biological/radiological effects I perceive evidence of toxins/hybrid-chimeras/and electromagnetic spectrum radiation vectored through nanoscale emitters. All are present in this subtle, complex, weapons delivery system. I have cooperated with a Navy Reservist to compose his conscience waiver using quotes from the Didache and St. Basil the Great–I learned this in my Methods In Theology class. In my absence from church attendance, I have researched the ‘Wuhan virus’, correlated its signature characteristics of gain-of-function/appearance of ‘variants’ from the U.S.A.M.R.I.I.D. Biological Warfare Manual out of Ft. Dietrich(7th Ed., 2011) and signaled CIC/DJT/45 that this virus being exported on a State Department Charter Flight to SFO was a bioweapon, required redirection to a remote airfield, to be met with a decon team, and crew and passengers sequestered for 2 weeks. The flight was re-routed. We are currently observing a war-in-progress. The VAERS government data has only a 1% accuracy, and the real numbers exceed all the US deaths in Korea and Vietnam, statistically. Yes, we are in a spiritual war, and I leave instructions on that battlefield to priests, monks, and hierarchs in Christ. But we are in an Unrestricted War, weapons are culturally sanctioned, psychologically compelled, legally sanctioned, media distorted, suppressed, or silenced. A Nobel Prize Winning virologist, Dr. Luc Montagnier, on Sifthung Corona Ausschuss, has agreed the mRNA vaccines, toxic, and terminal to an excessive degree, result in under-reported deaths. La Quinta Columna, affiliated with the University of Almeria, Spain, with laboratory examination results certified by Dr. Campra Madrid, has confirmed that the primary component of graphene oxide is 95% of the vaccine’s total composition, with minimal genetic material. The Spanish Team, under Ricardo Delgado Martin, affirms that this component, used in electronics, is representative of an electronic transmitter/receiver on the micron scale, much like science fiction–now science fact. This unrestricted war is being fought out now in our churches. This is a military campaign in Unrestricted Warfare according to PLA doctrine with the aim of annihilating the US population. Let us not throw stones at one another. The priest is right. Pray for each other. Leave the warfighting to the Spec Ops on the battlefield or under the earth, or to what General Flynn refers to, in sound reason, sober sense, as the Digital Soldiers. And perhaps one day, we will meet again in Church.Glory to Jesus Christ.

Meanwhile, among those bereft of apostolic succession:
https://warrentondeclaration.com/
The Holy Orthodox Fathers taught us that the Holy Virgin was just that–Ever Holy, and Ever Virgin. They said that, if there was any sin in her life, the fire would consume her when she became the Burning Bush.
Likewise: when a priest with sin in his life (a controversy with God) stands before the altar–the portal of heaven–and handles the Holy Mysteries, something in his life will ignite and be consumed because of this principle.
To put it another way: God will only defend what is the Church, but in reality the Holiness defends itself. When a priest/ bishop takes the Church outside what is the Church–he is offering “strange Fire.” (Lev 10:1,2). Bad, strange, often painful things happen to him because a corruption within him is set on fire, because it is flammable, combustible, and not consistent with the Fire. The fire will not stop as long as he keeps toughing IT, or until the fire has consumed all that is corruption. When the corruption runs out, then only the gold remains, but the priest may not survive this ordeal.Some do, some don’t.
For this form of judgement to take place in the here and now and not wait until eternity, God’s people must pray for God’s will to be done on earth as in heaven regarding the hierarchy. In other words, some seem to get by with offering strange fire and they have not yet spontaneity ignited (e.g. Elpi). But their time will come. Like Arius, his entrails eventually became his extrails.
If a priest/bishop goes after an innocent man, to punish the just,to disenfranchise the mother with children, he is not discerning the Body (corporate) and is offering “strange fire”. So, in the Holy Communion Mystery, God’s people and the Eucharist are one (Go read the Didache again). The people are the bread offered to God. To NOT discern Body and Blood as the people is the same as not discerning the Chalice, because the two are one. This priest is offering strange fire, and things in his life will spontaneously ignite, almost overnight.
Any priest or bishop who has made himself “a man of war’ (e.g. David) drawing innocent blood (by extension, the innocent man’s reputation, his place in the Church, cause any harm to him etc), he should avoid handling the Divine Mysteries because, he is flammable like gasoline; he has lost his asbestos underwear. Unlike the Holy Mother of God, he has not the purity to not be consumed.
Think me not authoritative or even smart, this is part and parcel of the Faith from the beginning. I’m just saying what the Fathers have always said, I’m not making this up, they got it from God. Time to channel the Fathers, and not doctors, or theologians who think themselves doctors.
If you want to live long and prosper, and be healed: “make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.” God has not ordained this kind of illness, but rather healing, don’t blame God for what you bring upon yourself.
In case some did not get it, let me put it yet another way: If you want it to go well with you, STOP poking God in the Eye. His people are the apple (center) of His eye–the object of His focus and affection.
John,
You write:
“Think me not authoritative or even smart …”
— No need for that warning. At no point did I think so.
The priest writes:
“Our hierarchs who want to speak out are threatened by their superiors and synods.”
— Here an interview, not with a bishop, but a pilot:
Freedom TV With Graham Hood The Qantas Pilot Whose Rant Went Viral
https://odysee.com/@voicesforfreedom:6/Pilot-Graham-Hood:c
In these dark times, it is at least a little consolation that some members of the episcopate ended up as bishops. And not as pilots.
If the entire world were currently experiencing a slow-motion genocide (accomplished via poison shots that large numbers of people have willingly and naively submitted to), how would you discern that fact? Whom would you trust to tell you that fact? And would you believe them?
I understand that priests are afraid to speak out for fear of losing their jobs. However, isn’t that similar to being in an abusive marriage? Your spouse keeps abusing you and you stay because you depend on spouse to support you.
I’m a single female in my late 50’s, I cannot retire. I telework for a Government contractor and filed for religious exemption and accommodation. I rewrote my letter numerous times. Initially I put I was a Greek Orthodox Christian, then I deleted Greek Orthodox for fear the “committee” would google and find that Elpido came out with his non Orthodox view/mandate to the priests. I wrote about fetal cells, then took that out as a coworker advised against that. In the end, I kept that I was Greek Orthodox Christian, because I have free will
and don’t have to blindly follow Elpido.
Food for thought: I took the risk as a single female responsible for supporting myself, why can’t priests do the same? Many of us at work are standing up the fight, so much the “committee” is inundated. Glory to God!
Pious folk on Ancient Faith Ministries discourage the use of social media.
That means that they will probably never encounter a text like this one:
https://www.pandata.org/what-about-the-vulnerable/
Or this one:
https://doctors4covidethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/TAC-Deaths-of-Despair-2021-White-Paper-B-LR_Final-1.pdf
Unpious folk like myself have learned in recent months that time spent on social media can be spiritually much more beneficial than time spent on Ancient Faith Ministries.
The roll of embyonic cells in the creation of the Covid injections and all other vaccines will not be so easily brushed aside. Do you know how those ‘cells’ were acquired? For example, the very popular HEK cell line? These are kidney cells. They came from a child in the Netherlands, a little girl who was removed alive, her heart still beating and they removed her kidney’s because they intended to use them for their research. This was done, of course, with no anesthetic as that would taint the cells. This is called infanticide! All such cell lines must come from living children. Tell me how this is a matter of conscience whether to accept or reject products that are tainted with such evil? If you didn’t know any of this, now you do!
Again, If I am going to get any sleep, I have to say something. Consider you have been informed.
I spent twenty years as an insurance agent; I saw the best of people and the worst (including assisting the widow of a very successful high profile business man who blew his brains out with a large caliber pistol all over their beautiful bedroom). I know evil when I see it.
A young 30-something woman came into my office to purchase car insurance. After leaving drug rehab, she finally landed a low paying job and finally rented an apartment and bought a modest old car, with some ridiculous interest rate.
After signing the paperwork and processing her check on a new bank account, she began telling me about her live in boyfriend (I did not see this coming). When she told me about his violent outbursts, I strongly urged her to leave, get away from him at any cost NOW, or I will read about her in the news.
When she stepped out of my office, I had an ill feeling in the pit of my stomach (like when I read about Elpi) (I told myself, this will not end well).
Some 4 months later, she stepped in my office door without an appointment. Her face black and blue, swollen almost beyond recognition, he had repeatedly beat her. I was sick. but it does not end there.
The reason she came to see me was when she was fleeing his violent outburst, she ran to her car, jumped in to drive away. He kicked in the door, jumped on the hood, broke the windshield, but she got away, but had no money to fix her car that was morgaged. She had been paying his rent and feeding him with her low paying job.
(how long will we feed abusive heirarchs?)
Consider if she would have had children. My point (this stuff happens all the time): if your metropolitan is abusing you and your children (the faithful), at some point you got to just say “no” or better yet “hell no!”. If we are not defining boundaries of abuse, we are co-dependent enablers.
The same goes for priests; if your bishop tells you to do something that harms the flock, stop enabling his co-dependant addiction to power, and just say, “NO’.
Good night by beloved siblings, may the peace of God dwell richly in your being, I’m going back to bed.
John, I love this analogy. It’s spot on.
YEAH!!!
My apologies, I must get this off my chest so I can get some sleep.
Here is WHY in the Orthodox Faith, the final authority has ALWAYS been with the bishop and not the metropolitan. The Orthodox wisdom surpasses any other, and its a mystery when we abandon it.
I know a dump truck drive who in the course of doing his job had an accident and innocent people were injured. Not only did the company get sued, but also the driver. This driver left the state to escape the garnishment of his wages. Hello bishop–just because you are being told to do something you know is harmful to the sheep does not in any way shape or form absolve you of culpability.
The same is true with the airline pilot. At any airport, the tower (metropolitan) is the governing authority. If the tower (metropolitan) tells the pilot (bishop) to do something he sees will wreck the plane and hurt people, he is fully obligated to disobey that order! If he in his “obedience” damages the plane and harms people, he will never fly again and be sued personally, he is the most culpable because he is the guy looking out the windshield, not the guy in the tower.
This same goes for the co-pilot. If the captain/pilot hands the controls to the co-pilot (local priest) and is directed to do something by the tower or the pilot that will damage the plane and jeopardize the passengers, he–in this scenario–is the most culpable–because he is the guy at the controls with full vision of the situation on the ground that actually actuates the damage.
If a priest makes his wife get the jab because the bishop is on board, he is fully guilty of child abuse; and she is fully free–even obligated–to say “no”.
In all scenarios where there is a person of trust in contact with the safety of people, HE is the FINAL AUTHORITY and not the corporate headquarters no matter the chain of command.
In other words: if your closest hierarch tells you (bishop,priest) to do something inconsistent with the Faith or that is harmful to the flock, your “obedience” will NEVER be accepted as an excuse for carrying out that order; not in any court in the land or in the court of heaven. In that case, disobedience is mandatory.
Just say “NO” or how about “Hell no.”
YEAH! YEAH!
I don’t know how it happened but somewhere along the way, the hierarchy created all these jurisdictional rules to give themselves more power. The people used to be able to defrock a bad bishop because he was accountable to them, and not to his metropolitan. Now, the metropolitan has the final say and kicks out good bishops who aren’t towing the line, and the people are standing around helpless, wondering what just happened! How I would love to defrock the guy we have – knock the pumpkin off his head, take off his vestments and send him home in his anteri! But no, they have set up a hierarchy of power to take power away from the people. They just serve themselves now.
Here’s a dangerous thought: What if Bartholomew was defrocked on his visit? What if an entire group of people went up and actually defrocked him? Isn’t there canon law that says we can do that, or would they all be charged with “assault”?
No, laity can’t defrock a Bishop… you are not a synod. Met. are Bishops, the Bishops are equal in authority – in practice, this has morphed into something different obviously.
Laity can follow the saints and lovingly witness to their fellow parishioners if they have ears to hear. You refusing to wear a mask or be vaccinated, while NOT condemning others is important. Stop participating in lies and pray for them.
Do not become a undiscerning zealot (which I am) and think you should run around yelling at people or that we are St Mark. God raises of the St Marks, and St Maximus’.
See a few of Fr Peters / Fr Savvas videos, or most especially, the loving kindess of Fr Ioannis who completely removes EVERY SINGLE modernist question about the vaccines, ‘love of neighbor’ and the reality of the Church – but he does not correct these questions in anger.

Time to really Rock the boat: HERE is our problem: Years before becoming Orthodox, I came to understand-by reading the BIBLE–the center of gravity–the bulwark of authority–of the Church for the first many centuries was the regional bishop, NOT the local parish presbyter (which we understand) and NOT the Metropolitan/Patriarch (which is a historical anomaly never based in fact or Orthodox teaching until later). In this regard, we have adopted the Roman model to a major degree.
Correct me if I’m wrong: the Ecumenical Councils worked and were authoritative because they were a consensus of REGIONAL bishops, not a consensus of metropolitan or patriarchs. The authority of the met and the Patriach is an evolution of history that did not exist at the councils, or prior to.
Let’s cut to the chase: If any regional bishop told his metropolitan, “get off my ship!) he is on safe ground historically, safe ground theologically (but do not ask the current theologians because they still think they are medical doctors), and safe ground morally . And I would dare to say, God would bless him for it (and a bunch of us would cheer outragiously for weeks).
Historically–again correct me if I’m wrong–the Orthodox Church has DISTAINED papism because of what we are experiencing right NOW. Orthodox POPES (pope wana-bees) ruling in the Roman form over unwilling bishops and priests who have to deal with the reality on the ground.
That any regional bishop-e.g. OCA west, OCA Midwest, OCA East–is under NO obligation to go lockstep with the metropolitan, and therefore must make his choices based on what is happen in his jurisdiction and what is based on parish well being and NOT the political entanglements of the metropolitan. Capiche?
Does that mean all metropolitan/patriarchs are bad? Absolutely not. A few–take note–do not take their office as a political power. I know one–personally–as one of the most genuine (but he serves overseas) in the universe. If I was any bishop, I would hook my wagon to that horse, he is a true apostle–one who goes jurisdiction to jurisdiction; actually goes there.
NOW it gets interesting, because of what has happened with the Episcopalians over the last 2 decades, in any disputed between any regional diocese and the so called mother church (metropolitan/patriarch and definitely any on foreign soil)the courts have always maintained ownership of real properties to be solely with the bishop/regional diocese and never the mother church/metropolitan (full stop!). This was solidified by the Catholic sex scandals when the dioceses had to pay up with the selling of their properties and not the pope in Rome; go figure.
Once again we find out that our Orthodox Church is not being true to itself and it creates a lot of grief for everyone. Its time to restore the tribal nature of the Church by cutting off every thing above the regional bishop when it fails to work in good faith. Take a look at every single hierarch above the bishop level; Almost all are political hacks. (At least the ones I am thinking of).
Dear bishop, do you feel trapped between doing what is right and being obedient?? Take a look at history, take a look at how the American courts define the ownership of Church property, then do what’s best for the people; the ball is in your court. The antivaxers will declare you a hero, follow you to the ends of the earth, and rejoice when you go see them; and as for the pro-vaxxers, they will not know the difference because they are not paying attention to the same issues. Time to break that yoke. All that mandate crap coming down from that ivory tower is merely a suggestion, contains no authority, can be ignored; because the Orthodox Church has no popes. And for God’s sake stop sending them any money. Stop kissing his ring and his backside. If you so choose to take your wagon and hook it to another horse, you would actually show some kahunas and people will follow you to the end of the world. OH, we crave a leader with courage! By the way, the courts will back you all the way, and so will we.
The priest writes:
“When we priests speak out, we get shut down by fellow clergy and our hierarchs (who can suspend us or defrock us at a whim). Our hierarchs who want to speak out are threatened by their superiors and synods.”
1. I do understand that priests shy away from speaking out if they are afraid of getting suspended or defrocked — they have families to feed.
2. Hierarchs don’t have families to feed. I have no sympathy at all, and no respect at all, for any hierarch who remains silent just because he is threatened by his superiors or synod.
One single bishop who speaks out can have an immense impact:
https://www.britannica.com/biography/Blessed-Clemens-August-Graf-von-Galen
One comment on #1: Many Orthodox priests feed their families by working a secular job.
John,
That doesn’t change much, as they might risk their secular jobs as well if they publicly spoke out. Those priests who do realize that something fishy is going on are certainly in a very difficult position.
People in various positions are affected by the “health” policies in different ways:
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/lectures-from-limousine-liberals
Everybody can guess in which segment of the population one should locate one’s priest. And one’s bishop.
Here is a thought to consider.
What if the injection actually is mark of the beast, as the short video linked below argues?
Have our theological expectations blinded us to what may be totally obvious with a little bit of research, reflection on Scripture, and openness to the possibility that we may have been deceived?
I urge you to watch it. Feedback is welcome.
https://www.brighteon.com/ad1c2680-8c99-4e7d-b57c-af6337e50f65
There is a very unorthodox interpretation of scripture in this video.
First, The image and likeness of God (us) is NOT a physical image or likeness since God is Spirit and was Spirit when he created us.
Second, is a far-fetched cry to interpret scripture, which was written relevant to that time that it was written, as pertaining to DNA!
Third, we do not become slaves to satan by taking an injection. We become slaves by WORSHIPPING him. Those who will take the mark of the Antichrist will worship the antichrist.
There is no Orthodox Phronema in this video.
I sympathize with the priest. I also sympathize with and am among the many lay people are risking their jobs because of their stand on the vaccine and have taken many risks that the clergy have not. A priest risking his job to me is not different than the risk I and others had to make when I claimed a religious exemption at work and we are now on the radar at work. So I sympathize but on the other hand I’ve been in the same position in a non religious setting and I have taken my stand, in my little sphere of influence. I also know other people have been coerced into taking it even though they don’t want to and I’m saddened about that also. So I sympathize with people who are not able to do what they feel God wants them to do because they feel coerced. At the same time I’m saddened that they don’t just do what they feel God wants them to do anyway. Yes we must pray for everyone!
I completely disagree!
Now is the time for those priests who know the truth of the matter to state is clearly and without reservation, come what may.
If you are walking along a path with a guide who knows the way, if the guide does not warn you about a rattlesnake in the way, that is a poor guide. Perhaps even more, that guide may even want you to be bitten for his own nefarious purposes. In the same way, if there are wolves in the Church- of whatever rank!- those faithful clergy need to warn us.
Informed consent is not possible until the experimental trails have been concluded in May of 2023. Google it. If anyone wants to be part of the experiment that of course their business.
But they should at least be informed of what is presently known. The experimental gene altering substance does nothing to protect against covid 19. Information should be provided about spike protein, graphene oxide, and weird structures that have recently been identified. There is so much more, but that is a start.
As well, it may also be appropriate to explain that the shot is definitely ‘a’ mark of the beast- it is increasingly being linked to ability to buy and sell in the form of digital identification- and in fact it may well be ‘the’ mark of the beast- if that is to say what Dr. Carrie Madej, Dr Frank Zalewski, and Dr. Ott have to say about the thing is true. Here is Dr. Ott’s recent podcast on the matter, FYI: https://whatinthecell.podbean.com/e/what-in-the-cell-is-going-on-101121/
Jeff, this priest is not disagreeing with you about the vaccine; he called it a “poison shot.” What he is trying to say is that he is trying to guide us along the right path, as he has warned us not to take the “poison shot” but he has a gun to his head. He has already warned us about the rattlesnake in the middle of the road, but if he reveals his identity, the gun will go off. Of what benefit will that be to the flock? Isn’t it enough that he has warned us? Why does he have to get shot?
Also, of what benefit is it to be angry at the vaccinated? I agree we should pray for them and for ourselves, for God to reveal his Truth to all and to protect everyone. We are all His children whom He loves. We should love God first and one another second, and we should not blame one another for getting or not getting the jab. Everyone is suffering, both the vaxxed and the unvaxxed. No one is being protected by an ineffective, unsafe and unethical vaccine.
Please forgive me.
Thanks you for your comment. I very much would like to agree with you, and say of course! The priest is following the best course of action for his parishioners, for himself, etc.
I of course do not know the details of his situation, and I was baptized only a few months ago. So who am I? A nobody.
But I do have enough of a background in health to know that if what Dr Ott says above in his podcast is true, and if what Dr Madej says in the following clip is true, confirming Dr Ott, and even going further, then this thing goes far beyond personal and pastoral considerations the Greek priest details, which you affirm.
I urge you to at least watch this short interview before you respond, if you will not listen to the podcast. It is only 18 minutes long: https://www.bitchute.com/video/kVEFZMvaUHUc/
Hi Jefff,
I have watched this “reporter” before and there is no way to corroborate the stuff on this program. I believe this is fake news.
I am not in favour of this vaccine because it does not work, it is not safe and it is not ethical. Period.
I do not believe that it is the mark of the beast because it does not descriptively satisfy all of the criteria according to Revelations (people are not getting it on their foreheads, it does not leave an identifiable mark, and THE antichrist is not here yet) It may be a precursor to the mark of the Antichrist, but I do not believe it is the real thing.
These are things I KNOW as facts. I cannot know if anything anyone else says is true.
These are difficult times and they need a lot of discernment. I do not pretend to have discernment, which is why I think the safest route is only to believe what I KNOW.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
I’m at the point in my life where things need to be simple, straightforward, in your face. Sometimes, it even takes a two by four for me to get it. Like when I was looking at my son in a critical care unit a couple of years ago, intubated and hooked up to a battery of space age machines that were basically living for him. Things became real simple. Thoughts are reduced to a heart bursting with pain and suffering.
I am not very bright. In fact just the opposite, I’m pretty stupid. I’m easily duped. (Just ask my X wife 🙂
So when I see a creature, and the thing looks like a duck. And it quacks like a duck. It even walks like a duck. I’m inclined to say- hey! That creature is a duck.
I could be wrong of course. It could be a turtle. A cow. Maybe even an ostrich.
But until someone can prove to me that it is not a duck, I’m going with duck.
It has become transparently obvious that unless you get the demon juice, you will not be able to participate in society. You will not be able to buy or sell. That is clearly the agenda. The trajectory of the last 20 months.
May the Lord God have mercy on us all.
Jeff, as Saint Gabriel of Georgia said,
“True faith is found in one’s heart, not mind. People who have faith in their mind will follow the antichrist. But the ones who have it in their heart will recognize him.” My point is if you have true faith in your heart, just keep going. The details are just details.
Hi Jeff,
There are a number of patristic and saintly resources Fr Kosmas of Australia (OrthodoxTalks) has compiled – Orthodox, AND non-Orthodox.
There is a LOT of error in the protestant/self interpretation world which we need to be careful of.
I’d filter your videos/sources through the modern Elders FIRST and foremost, and then be very careful, and slow, about ‘breaking’ news on the death shots, etc.
Orthodoxtalks.com has 10+ pages of resources, start there – I only say this, because we have some in our local parish who are getting so sucked into non-Orthodox ‘breaking news’ they are losing their minds. We stick to the Orthodox, or sober path – not drunkenly careening into every source (I speak for myself).
