On the matter of Orthodoxy

What we have here is a failure to comply!

Many Christians must feel abandoned by their church leaders as these leaders seek to harmonize debased social absurdities with core church principles.  These social transformations include normalizing the killing of a baby in a mother’s womb and promoting  countless sexual aberrations including child sexual mutilation.   These changes are aimed squarely at recasting what was formally the traditional family into a mangled parody of its former self that is isolated, powerless, easily corruptible and controllable.  Unsurprisingly, these destructive ideologies align nicely with social engineering efforts promoted by a philosophy of secular materialism whose endpoint is a single, unifying system of global governance — a scientific dictatorship.  Despite many church leaders’ impulse to comply with these trends, the Christian Orthodox Church has remained remarkedly unchanged for over 2,000 years.  Can Orthodoxy’s consistent and unbroken tradition serve as an effective teacher and a bulwark protecting sacred Christian doctrine against these self-inflicted detours into spiritual bondage and corruption?

The Symbol of the Faith

Composed at the1st Ecumenical Council at Nicaea in 325,
And completed at the 2nd Ecumenical Council at Constantinople in 381.

THE NICENE CREED:

I believe in one God, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, the only begotten, begotten  of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not made; of one essence[1] with the Father; through Whom all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation, He came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man. And He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried; And the third day He rose again, according to[2] the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father; And He shall come again with glory to judge the living and dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.

And in the Holy Spirit [3], the Lord, the Creator of life, Who proceeds from the Father[4], Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; Who spoke through the prophets.

In one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come. Amen.

[1] or “consubstantial”
[2] or “in fulfillment of”
[3] At this point the original Creed of Nicaea 325 ended; the remainder was added at the 2nd Ecumenical Council in 381.
[4] Here the Roman Catholics add the Latin word Filioque, which means “and from the son.”

Definition of (lower case) catholic:

adjective
1. broad or wide-ranging in tastes, interests, or the like; having sympathies with all; broad-minded; liberal.

2. universal in extent; involving all; of interest to all. *

*’Know the Faith’ by Rev Michael Shanbour (pg. 37): Unfortunately, the word catholic is usually translated as “universal.” But the Greek word indicates fullness and completeness.  St. Ignatius of Antioch, the first known to use the word, applies it to the local church: “Wherever the bishop appears, the whole congregation is to be present, just as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the whole [catholic] Church.”  (Ignatius, Epistle to the Smyrnaeans 7.2, in Apostolic Fathers, p. 113)

How to create a deadly pandemic in five easy steps

A copybook for dictators and psycho-philanthropists globally.

PROBLEM – REACTION – SOLUTION

  1. Release an ordinary virus (because your GoF abilities suck).
  2. Euthanise old folk and blame it on the virus.
  3. Advise against the usual early treatment of frontline antibacterials and corticosteroids for those you cannot get away with euthanising.
  4. Introduce a “cure” in the form of a “vaccine” which is deadly and blame it on the virus.
  5. Slowly, allow again the use of antivirals – previously admonished as being only for animal use – in addition to the antibacterials and corticosteroids, and let the “vaccine” take the credit.

The Whole Counsel of God: An Introduction to Your Bible by Stephen De Young

Stephen De Young’s excellent book entitled ‘The Whole Counsel of God’ provides the substance and essence missing from many excellent secular studies on the Bible.

Bart Ehrman’s two secular books from an archeological perspective:

  • Lost Christianities: The Battles for Scripture and the Faiths We Never Knew by Bart D. Ehrman
  • Lost Scriptures: Books that Did Not Make It into the New Testament by Bart D. Ehrman

Excerpts: Bible recommendations by Stephen De Young from ‘The Whole Counsel of God: An Introduction to Your Bible’:

English Standard Version (ESV – 2001)

P.96: Since its publication in 2001, the English Standard Version has become very popular and with good reason. It represents the most accurate and readable English rendition of the Hebrew Old Testament and Greek New Testament to date.  It is highly recommended for regular day-to-day reading.

New American Standard Bible (NASB – 1995)

P.97: The New American Standard Bible (NASB) is the English Bible that moves furthest in the direction of formal equivalence, often accomplished at the expense of readability. The Primary effort of the translators was to convey the original text word for word, as well as mirror the grammar and syntax of the original languages. This often does not conform to a good English style. The NASB is therefore helpful as a second translation to be used for study alongside a more readable text.

New English Translation (NET- 2006)

P.97 – 98: Finally, the best English Bible for those interested in a more serious and detailed study is the New English Translation (NET).  The NET was produced by the Biblical Studies Foundation and published by Biblical Studies Press.  In its full-notes edition, it contains the most copious textual notes of any English Bible, giving the reader unparalleled access to the original Manuscripts.

On the Septuagint, Young writes on page 84:

“The best text for the study of the Greek Old Testament in English is the New English Translation of the Septuagint, produced by the International Organization for Septuagint and Cognate Studies (IOSCS) and published by the Society for Biblical Literature, the guild for biblical studies.   This edition has copious notes and introductions to each book discussing the test, the manuscripts, and their history.  Where there are multiple versions of the book in Greek that differ greatly, these are translated in parallel columns for comparison.  The translation is made for literal precision, however, over readability.  While it is excellent for learning more about the Greek Old Testament tradition, it is not ideal for personal devotional use and general reading.”

Bertrand Russell – Selected Quotes

Leave a reply

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | June 15, 2023

BERTRAND RUSSELL Red Lion Square, London WC1. 1982 Sculptor Marcelle Quinton.

Bertrand Russell (18 May 1872 – 2 February 1970)

Selected quotes from 1953:

“Gradually, by selective breeding, the congenital differences between rulers and ruled will increase until they become almost different species. A revolt of the plebs would become as unthinkable as an organized insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton.”

Bertrand Russell – The Impact of Science on Society  (January 1, 1953)

“Anaxagoras maintained that snow is black but no one believed him. The social psychologists of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will fay different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black. Various results will soon be arrived at: First, that the influence of the home is obstructive; second, not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before age ten; third, that verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective; fourth, that the opinion that snow is white must be held to show a morbid taste for eccentricity. But I anticipate it is for future scientists to make these maxims precise and discover exactly how much it costs per head to make children believe that snow is black and how much less it would cost to make them believe it is dark grey.”

Ignorance: The Currency of Tyranny

Leave a reply

The tools of control

After 9/11, I took the time to read some history.  Not just any history, but history that is well-sourced and documented by individual researchers who were not part of the established power structure.  What I discovered is not conspiracy theories, but irrefutable conspiracy facts.  Most people who have been educated in our compulsory government school systems; by our universities, news media and entertainment media are unfamiliar with these historical facts.

Hidden History

We have no clue we were ‘lied into’ every war since the US Civil War; and then lied to about who the villains, victims and heroes were — and their motives. We were therefore denied a look at the hidden hands creating and orchestrating these deadly conflicts.  This includes the Spanish-American War, WW1, WW2, Korean War, Vietnam War, Iraq War and all the invasions across the globe killing and maiming millions.

Most do not know you cannot understand WW2 if you don’t understand WW1 and the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution in Russia.  Most do not know our history was corrupted. Most do not know where to find solid, reliable research that will reveal the true history of these conflicts, and so we are left seeing the world through a set of demonstrably false assumptions; agreed to by the collective; created by a well-oiled consensus-generating machine.

We Won’t Fight Another Rich Man’s War!!! – Vietnam Veterans Against the War, circa 1970.

This collective agreement of a false history denies us the ability to see who the real enemies of man are and thus we are herded like livestock into the next rendering pen.

“Whenever the government of the United States shall break up, it will probably be in consequence of a false direction having been given to public opinion. This is the weak point of our defences, and the part to which the enemies of the system will direct all their attacks. Opinion can be so perverted as to cause the false to seem true; the enemy, a friend, and the friend, an enemy; the best interests of the nation to appear insignificant, and trifles of moment; in a word, the right the wrong, and the wrong, the right. In a country where opinion has sway, to seize upon it, is to seize upon power. As it is a rule of humanity that the upright and well-intentioned are comparatively passive, while the designing, dishonest and selfish are the most untiring in their efforts, the danger of public opinion’s getting a false direction is four-fold, since few men think for themselves.”

– James Fenimore Cooper (The American Democrat 1838)

“We believe that the reduction of the citizen to an object of propaganda, private and public, is one of the greatest dangers to democracy. A prevalent notion is that the great mass of the people cannot understand and cannot form an independent judgment upon any matter; they cannot be educated, in the sense of developing their intellectual powers, but they can be bamboozled. The reiteration of slogans, the distortion of the news, the great storm or propaganda that beats upon the citizen twenty-four hours a day all his life long mean either that democracy must fall a prey to the loudest and most persistent propagandists or that the people must save themselves by strengthening their minds so that they can appraise the issues for themselves.” 

From Robert M. Hutchins, page xiii
December 1, 1951
Preface to the Great Books of the Western World.
The Great Conversation

Gradually, by selective breeding, the congenital differences between rulers and ruled will increase until they become almost different species. A revolt of the plebs would become as unthinkable as an organized insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton.

Bertrand Russell The Impact of Science on Society, 1953

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Hosea 4:6 KJV

It may be hoped that in time anybody will be able to persuade anybody of anything if he can catch the patient young and is provided by the State with money and equipment.

This subject will make great strides when it is taken up by scientists under a scientific dictatorship. Anaxagoras maintained that snow is black, but no one believed him. The social psychologists of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will try different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black. Various results will soon be arrived at. First, that the influence of home is obstructive. Second, that not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before the age of ten. Third, that verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective. Fourth, that the opinion that snow is white must be held to show a morbid taste for eccentricity. . . . It is for future scientists to make these maxims precise and discover exactly how much it costs per head to make children believe that snow is black, and how much less it would cost to make them believe it is dark gray.

Clash of Cultures: The Collective West (Woke-ism) vs. Russia… by Alexander Dugin

Leave a reply

Alexander Dugin

In his Valdai keynote speech on 27 October 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin argued that:

“The direct threat to the political, economic and ideological monopoly of the West is that alternative social models may emerge in the world.”

Or even more starkly and definitively:

“I am convinced that true democracy in a multipolar world presupposes first of all the possibility for any people – I want to emphasise this – any society, any civilisation to choose its own way, its own socio-political system.”

If the United States and the European Union have this right, surely the Asian countries, the Islamic states, the Persian Gulf monarchies and the states of other continents also have it. Of course, our country, Russia, also has this right, and no one can ever impose on our people what kind of society we should build and on what principles.

Today, in Russia, it is only a matter of proposing an alternative social model to liberal democracy and building our own socio-political system. This very constructive step should be the next step in our strategy in the deployment of the acute civilisation war.

The foundation of this social model is necessarily the traditional values, which the President signed into law on 9 November 2022 (Decree No. 809). This is what such a model should be based on.

Here is a list of traditional values that are essentially national in nature today. These are the foundations of a sovereign ideology that is, in a way, obligatory for all Russian citizens.

Let us analyse this crucial code of the new operating system of Russian society in a little more detail. To quote Decree No. 809:

Traditional values include:

  1. life,
  2. dignity,
  3. human rights and freedom,
  4. patriotism, citizenship, service to the homeland and responsibility for its destiny,
  5. high moral ideals
  6. a strong family,
  7. constructive work,
  8. spiritual over material
  9. humanism,
  10. charity,
  11. justice,
  12. collectivism, mutual assistance and respect,
  13. historical memory and intergenerational continuity,
  14. unity of the peoples of Russia.
