Ecumenism a terrible threat for Orthodox
Christianity (A dangerous spiritual movement that supports
Globalism)
Ecumenism or oecumenism is a movemend that aims at bringing greater
Christian Unity around the Churches and the world religions under
"one faith".
The basic idea behind that movement was to unite All Churches
nomatter of their basic beliefs and practices within them.
Otherly said it's trying to unite the Roman Catholic Church with
Orthodox Church and the rest of Christian protestant faiths and
denominations.
Historically this kind of movement has been existent for quite
long, however the speed and scale it shapes today is something
bizarre to the ecumenism movements that were before.
Simple said ecumenists are trying to create one United Church from
all the existent Churches.
Of course on the first glimpse this sounds very tempting,
especially if we consider that after the Great Church Great
Schism (Where Roman Catholic Church split from the Orthodox
Church) and consequently the emerging dozens and thousands of
Churches as a result of the protestant schisms with Roman Catholics
took place.
Today the Christian world is actually very divided and though most
protestant denomination Churches claim they believe in Christ most
of the prtestant Churches(denominations) practically confesses more
or less different doctrine than the basic Doctrines of Orthodoxy or
Catholicism.
For those that are aware of the exact reasons for the Great
Schism , it's clear that the reasons fot the Church split has
basicly two dimensions one was the Changing patterns of basic
Church beliefs that Roman Catholics has decided to include in the
basic Church doctrine and the other a bit less important but still
present was the political fight between the Western and the Eastern
Church.
However it's pretty clear that the Church split and the different
Church life that the Western and Eastern Church led through the 956
years of division has made the two Churches very different in many
senses.
Catholics changed the ancient Nicene creed of
Faith
They took the Pope as an representative of Christ on Earth, they
went at times after philosophic movenets like rationalism
integrating it into Church life.
And changed various aspects of the Church order more or less to
"adjust" so to say Christianity to the changing times.
With protestants coming to stage in the 16th century the things
became even worser, because each protestant Church has it's own way
of understanding the scriptures, they rejected the tradition within
the Church. Many protestant Churches rejected the Church sacrements
and the Church 7 mysteries etc. etc.
The whole ecomenism movement is very complicated and man needs to
read a lot before he gets the real picture.
Nevertheless the basics behind I've already mentioned, The Roman
Catholic Church is making serious attempts to create unity between
Churches.
They do have their Holy Liturgy (Masses) in cooperation with
Protestant Churches, they do organize events inviting all kind of
Church representatives all over the world and try to create
cohesion between the Churches.
Of course the Pope is a very main figure in the heretical meetings
that Ecumenists have.
On that "union meetings", all kind of practices known to either
Protestant Church denominations and Roman Catholics as well as
Orthodox Church practices are combined into a very mixed heretical
"church service".
Of course everybody attending that kind of event is supposed to
venerate the Pope as the person who holds the most power and the
last word on the ecumenstic summmonings.
What is really pity that even a lot of Orthodox Churches as well as
Orthodox Church representatives go to that heretical ungodly
meetings and does light candles with the heretics or participate in
heretical prayers.
This of course is strongly prohibited by both Orhotox Church canons
and the Orthodox Church tradition.
There are also some Orthodox Church holy fathers, who had the gift
of clairvoyance and did prophecised about this kind of events
occuring and strongly warned Orthodox Christians to stay away from
taking participation in heretical gatherings.
It's even against the Orthodox Church teachings, that teaches that
only within the body of the Church man can achieve salvation,
through the teaching testaments of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ and the Holy Apostles, Martyrs and Fathers!
Having all this it's pretty clear that Ecumenical meetings are not
just meetings but they're a place where a new kind of religion gets
shapes.
A religion which includes the approaches of each and every church
for spiritual enlightenment and getting drawing near to God.
It should be clear by all said that this kind of Ecumenical
meetings are actually a spiritual babylon.
That the truly faithful to God should stay away. It's very pity
that many people who are currently priests in different orthodox
churches, even metropolitans and patriarchs has already ecumenic
ideas implied and are very willing for the ecumenism to
progress.
Therefore there are internal Orthodox Church processes that happen
this days which slowly but surely try to navigate the Orthodox
Church body to join and take actice parcipation in ecumenism and in
that way betray the dozens of generations of Holy people who even
gave their lives to keep the faith clean from external stain and
heresies.
The topic of Ecumenism is really an extending one, however I'll
stop here and just show you a few videos.
Then it's up to you to decide if it's an apostacy of our faith or
not.
If you're supporting the globalism ideas then you might be happy
with ecumenism,I personally am against globalizm so it was awful to
see this kind of betrayal of the teachings of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ...
