Russia defending themselves against globohomo that uses evangelicals as a cover
Yeah, just accuse random Christians, whom you’ve done zero research on, of being globohomo because... they’re Ukrainian? Because they got tortured?
I’m really interested in the logic behind this.
CIA agents using religion as a cover got caught and got their butts handed to them. Good on Russia. Death to globohomo.
What foreigners forget, or didn’t know, is controlling American religions is like hearding cats. It can’t be done.
I double majored in biochemistry and religion (yes that’s odd).
One course was on American religions taught by a professor from Howard University.
It was basically who broke from whom over the most trivial of reasons.
So many splinter groups the areligious heathens in Washington couldn’t possibly keep up.
Cool. Don’t let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya, hear? Bye, now! 👋
Ukraine ping
ZF: [American Christians are mostly Protestants, and take a strong interest in the welfare of other Protestants around the globe.]
Rev Wright: [Except in Israel.]
Q: Tell us about how the 2016 Yaravaya law was implemented in Russia?
A: Russia adopted a law making it unconstitutional to be a Christian, even though the (Russian) constitution says you are free to profess any faith. (The Yarovaya law increases regulation of evangelism, including a ban on the performance of “missionary activities” in non-religious settings.)
Based on this law, which is active right now, if you declare that you belief this or that or if you publically invite someone to church, of if you share an invitation to a Christian conference or service on facebook, sometimes even if you just attend church you will receive a huge fine or you can be jailed for up to 3 years. If you represent a church as a pastor or leader, then the fine is $1M rubles ($15,700) and up to 5 years in jail, if they can prove that you were promoting your faith.
It’s not like you have much of a choice; you can either be quiet, or try not to be afraid and continue sharing your faith. Some Christians were imprisoned, others were trying to move across the border into Finland.]
The anti-evangelism provisions of the legislation prompted an outcry of concern and opposition from Russia’s Protestant minority, which makes up about 1% of Russia’s population.[14] According to experts, the law is likely to be interpreted in a way to block churches other than the Russian Orthodox Church from evangelizing ethnic Russians.[14] Religious denominations with a smaller presence in Russia have long been viewed with hostility by government officials and Russian Orthodox religious authorities. The harsh new restrictions on minority religious groups supplemented the requirements under a 1997 law that mandated registration and administrative procedures, which many religious groups found onerous and expensive to comply with.[29]
Thomas J. Reese, the chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, said that “Neither these measures nor the currently existing anti-extremism law meet international human rights and religious freedom standards” and that the Yarovaya Law “will make it easier for Russian authorities to repress religious communities, stifle peaceful dissent, and detain and imprison people.”[30]]
Nobody remembers (or expects) the Spanish Inquisition. But I want it back. There are way too many heretics around.
You and your constant signing up here to troll until you get kicked off again.
It is a strange way to occupy yourself.
How’s that Ukraine offensive going, loser?
LOL, what a poor soul you are to have no life but constantly seeking to temporarily be at FR until your toxic personality gets you caught out again.
Crimea will be re-captured any day! The ghost of Kiev is on his way! Hahahaha
Interesting book here . . . .
Secret History of the Jesuits, The
By Edmond Paris
https://www.chick.com/products/item?stk=191
Secrets the Jesuits don’t want Christians to know
Originally written in French, then translated to English:
Out of Europe, a voice is heard from the secular world that documents historically the same information told by ex-priests. The author exposes the Vatican’s involvement in world politics, intrigues, and the fomenting of wars throughout history. It appears, beyond any doubt, that the Roman Catholic institution is not a Christian church and never was. The poor Roman Catholic people have been betrayed by her and are facing spiritual disaster. Paris shows that Rome is responsible for the two great world wars.
Author Edmond Paris explains why he wrote this book...
“The public is practically unaware of the overwhelming responsibility carried by the Vatican and its Jesuits in the start of the two world wars — a situation which may be explained in part by the gigantic finances at the disposition of the Vatican and its Jesuits, giving them power in so many spheres, especially since the last conflict.”
“In fact, the part they took in those tragic events has hardly been mentioned until the present time, except by apologists eager to disguise it. It is with the aim of rectifying this and establishing the true facts that we present in this and other books the political activity of the Vatican during the contemporary — activity which mutually concerns the Jesuits.”
“This study is based on irrefutable archive documents, publications from well-known political personalities, diplomats, ambassadors and eminent writers, most of whom are Catholics, even attested by the imprimatur.” “
And new schisms being created all the time for instance, the Methodists right now, pro- vs. anti-LGHDTV or whatever the appropriate character string might be.
No, “the US” is not. The Democrats are; and, need I add that historically, the Democrats have been aligned with Russia in almost every way since the 1960s?
The Russian communists, in conjunction with the US communist party, etc., are what gave us the World Council of Churches and the National Council of Churches, both of which are just political fronts for spreading marxism.
They have done a lot of damage to Christianity and dubbed a lot of people over the decades.
That snippet about this state sponsored orthodox guy’s connection to imported tobacco is interesting. I don’t think people realize how much money terrorist groups and states get from the global addiction to tobacco.
Hezbollah (in Russia’s circle of friends) has a big connection to tobacco smuggling, among other things. As does the IRGC in the Persian Gulf.
The Balkans, Turkey, Iran and North Africa are heavily impacted by the tobacco trade.
Never go full retard.
Chick publications? Really?
Take a hike clown.
A TIME article? The same group of gaslighters that had the brazen brass to explain how gross intentional election interference and collusion by traitors in this country “saved” the country in 2020.
