Idolatry of Hellenism clashing with the Worship of The Church.
The Church prevails and idolatrous civilization is rooted out.
In the West, the Church Triumphant:
Morals, daily life, family interface, tutelage, trade, art, architecture, universities, cathedrals, are fully shaped by the worldview of the Church.
In the East, the Church Victorious:
Historical optimism, cultural unity, monastic ascetical ascent, education, finance, civil affairs, are fully shaped by Symphony of Church and State.
The Liturgy of the Orthodox Church resonates the same with its petitions:
“For our Christ-loving emperor and his Christ-loving armed forces.”
In this, the Church recognizes the emperor as protector of the Orthodox Church and the emperor recognizes the teachings of the Church, all in Symphony of Church and State.
A society shapes inwardly, grows Christian outwardly, and matures into a God-pleasing civilization.
When the Church is abandoned, its voice silent, its spirit worldly, then culture is split, civilization is partitioned, and defenseless.
“A house when swept clean of a demon,” Jesus says, “then left empty, seven demons worse than the first enter in.”
Demons of chaos, misperception, confusion, dissolution, upheaval, degradation, savagery, enter in.
Is it time to build the Church, to bring people without within its walls, and under its roof?
Oh yes!
The Church can do much more than guns.
It has all the weapons to defeat the demons, both visible and invisible.
Hi BN! What church are you talking about?
IT Must Be The Church of CHRIST Which isn’t a Material Church, a man made church.
IT Must Be A Spiritual Church, The Holy Ghost Church that Envolves ALL Christians and also those who are GOOD at Heart doing GOOD to others in their lives.
And, i am sorry to say it, but I can’t and don’t believe in a book called “the old testament”. A bunch of invented lies mingled with STOLEN truths from Egypt and the Levant Ancient Civilizations, as where their Mythologies.
You must not have read the Old Testament. I’ve read it over 50 times and it’s still new every time I read it with new and fresh revelation. Quoted often in the New Testament. Needed reading.
You make absolutely no sense. You are trapped in the delusion of your own weak mind (which is another way of saying you’re a legend in your own mind). Read some history (real history, not some half-baked History Channel-level garbage about aliens and the pyramids), humble yourself, read the scriptures.
Realize that you are not even one-tenth of the way to figuring everything out. Watch some Jay Dyer lectures, and more importantly, read the books he mentions.
Listen to the Lord of The Spirits podcast. Get the Jordanville Prayer Book and pray every day. Find and Orthodox parish and attend liturgy every Sunday. Do all that for a few years. Then come back and read this post and realize what an imbecile you were. Good luck.
An yes, i agree with you, but in a different way.Only CHRIST and the Belief in GOD , our Most LOving Heavenly Father, can CHANGE Everything in a Second.
