Comment on Jewish concept of Messiah (Christ) is identical to our Christian concept of Anti-Messiah (Anti-Christ), brief comparison of Orthodox Judaism and Orthodox Christianity by admin.
Hi Wes,
From all you said, I can find out that you know not that much of Christianity and Christian history.
Christianity is the only religion next to Judaism, that lays on mostly proovable historical facts (check ancient history books).
I don’t say Judaism is evil, I say that Judaism’s interpretation of their own writtings is in a way which is opposite to Christianity. And what Judaism defines as Christ, coincides interestingly with the person prophecised to come described as the Anti-Christ.
Concerning the mass-murders you mentioned. I assume you refer to Inquisition? If you take the time to read some Church history you will realise the Orthodox Church has never been involved at any age after Christ in mass-murders that you talk about.
Right on the contrary the Crusaders has killed many of us the Orthodox Christians and tried to convert us to their false inverted Roman Catholic doctrines.
I wonder how do you define, our Lord Jesus Christ as pagan? Obviously even in your jewish history books, it’s written that he was on earth, he did miracles that nobody before him and after him has ever did. And he told you how you should interpret your Torah.
Yes I know your messiah will be totally human, that’s difference between your messiah and our Messiah. Our Messiah is not totally human but he is the only begotten Son of God (The same God you heavily read about in the Torah).
To continue on about your interpretation of prophecy, let me explain how we understand it.
Matthew 2:15 says…â€Out Of Egypt I called My Son.†At first glance this might look like a fulfillment of some kind. However if you actually read all of Hosea 11:1 you will find that this is talking about Israel.
Israel is a name which God himself gave to you the Jews in the old testament, it’s the name of Jacob. From the eartly lineage of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Mother of God descended out of Jacob’s family. This is also described very precisely by the evangelists in the New Testament. The prophecy obviously refers to Israel’s son and the son of Israel (from the earthly nature is Christ), moreover it does completely fill in the times after Christ’s birth in Bethleem, when an Angel went and instructed Virgin Mary to depart with her son and our Lord to Egypt.
You’re also in a high confusion, concerning the origin of the word “Virgin”. If you dig deep into the etymology of the word as their was a lot of research into the Torah you will find out that you’re wrong about the interpretation suggested.
Now I quote some more from you: “The Tanakh” says that god is one. Yes that is perfectly correct we don’t believe in three Gods no we believe in ONE GOD who has three hiposhtases (The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit)! We firmly confess that God is one in a trinity that is undividable. We don’t get praise to three Gods but we give thanks to the One God!
Following on, The birthday of Christ is not on 25 of December as you wrote above. Most of he Orthodox Christian Churches does celebrate the birthday of Christ on 7th of January.
Some of the local Orthodox Churches does moved it on 24th of December (by the way it’s 24th and not 25th) to celebrate Christ’s birth, as there is a wide belief in Roman Catholic Christian world that the date 24th is closest to the exact date in which Christ was born, this is highly debatable and as I said most of the Orthodox Churches does not accept this dating as it’s the so called modern dating which does not rely on ancient Church tradition but mostly on scientifical and historical facts that Roman Catholics comes with.
Having said that I proceed further with your claims about the Christian cross origin. We do venerate the Cross so highly because simply Christ was executed on a cross at the time of our Saviour was on earth crucifying accused criminals was a common thing in the Roman empire, this fact is also clearly seen from history (read about it in old history books).
Christian theology andis far from messed up, try to learn a bit more about it and you will see it yourself.
I wish you goodluck in your searches.
With Regards,
Georgi

Hi we believe different in Orthodox Church, we believe Jesus Christ is God’s son and not Jahovah himself but one in hipostasis with God the Father The Son and The Holy Spirit. We don’t believe what you say, because we believe Jesus was not only God in the Flesh but man too so Godman in the flesh who came to save us through his sacrifice on the Golgotha Cross.
The Church crimes were done by Roman Catholics (during ages of Inquisition) after the Great Chuch Schism (the time when Roman Cathoics decided to change some parts of the ancient faith).
I see you continue to stuck to your dilusions about connection between some imaginary Sun God and the true king of earthly and heavenly king of Israel and our saviour Jesus Christ.
You’re correct that many Christians try to only talk about the positiveness of Christianity. I’m not one of these Christians. Christianity is not a bed of roses it’s a hard fight until the physical death. Christ did not promised us a good life and good monetary status here on earth but on the contrary he promised that we will be under persecution for our faith.
If you really want to have a debate you will have to first understand the Orthodox Church history. Talking about Christianity you mix up the Orthodox Christian faith with other Christian faiths, many of which hold up to a heretical ideas. You should clear this up if you want us to have a decent debate.
Best!

St. Paul explains here he did not used tricks to convince them of the truth but he used his life example and prayer to God to have mercy on them. He also shows humility by mocking himself. Be careful with the interpretation just quoting some bible text without the context does not reveal it’s true meaning.
Best!

What is rather fun is during the anti-protest organized by Metropolitan Nikolay (with people only from the Plovdiv eparchy just like in the good old times of communism was financed by the unwilling people to go to the event). It was lied that the reason for Nikolay people to protest is because this is a protest in front of the Synod against the accepting of gay marriages (what a lie !!!). Besides that there is a many people from village called Krepost (if not mistaken the village) who were (protestants!) and came to protest in favour of the new anti people legislation (even though not orthodox christians), because they were mislead the protests are against the gays!
Metropolitan Nikolay has publicly asked priests in his eparchy to sign a document they're going to be present on the protests that should support the New Synodal "order". Those who were unwilling to cooperate of course can always be sent by their Metropolitan to a very distant village or even taken away their profession as priests so there was a lot of pressure put on those people.

Hi Stan,
I guess you cannot read the writtings on the icon as it is in cyrillic.
This is not Saint Mary and Saint Peter but Adam and Eve written in cyrillic on top of the icon.
Actually in orthodoxy it is a requirement for the depicted personalities, especially saints to have
written on the names of the saint and have the Halo. If you look closely at the picture you will notice
the two Adam and Eve are missing a Halo. The only person with a Halo in the icon is Saint John the Baptist.
