Ping.

If that means more of those beautiful Russian Orthodox churches, then I’m all for it.

Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplain, chairman of the Synodal Department for Church and Society Relations, said Russia is moving towards maximum self-reliance and must become the center of global Christianity. “It is not accidental that many see Russia as a defender of Christian ideals and traditional moral values, as a country that provides a real alternative to the cult of the golden calf and to a suicidal understanding of what freedom is,” Father Vsevolod writes in an article, published in the Rus Derzhavnaya newspaper on Monday. Russia must start feeling it is the center of the Christian world, he writes. Only if it does will it become an accomplished nation. The rest is “first, petty and, second, self-destructive for it,” the priest said.

The Cold War is back on folks, and the propaganda machines are working overtime. Check out what Pravda said about this:

In the East there is someone that causes the western liberal's maniacal laughter to stop. Vladimir Putin. He has real world power, which causes the liberal media to fearfully ignore or warp his image. Like a good Christian King he leads a nation to Christ. Deep down in their evil souls they shriek like devils because they know Christ is true God and true power that they cannot defeat. They thought the Bolshevik revolution destroyed Holy Mother Russia. Christ cannot be defeated and his servant Putin has welcomed Christ and His church.

I share the archpriests hope for Russia, but the Orthodox Church is going to have to make sure Russians are not simply identifying with the church on a nationalist level, but are seeing Christ as their personal savior. They shouldn’t be committed to the truth because they’re Russian. They should be committed to the truth because it is the truth.

In the long term, China will also be competing to be Christianity’s center.

“It is not accidental that we said in clear terms despite pressure coming from the West that we do want to protect children from early sexualization and from the propaganda of homosexuality. And we also said that support for foreign adoptions of Russian children is an extremely irrational step. We do not want these children, adopted by perverts, to lose the hope in which many of them were baptised, and to lose a normal life,” Fr. Vsevolod said.

If you had told me in 1980 that a man who at the time was a KGB agent would be leading the battle for Christian values in defiance of the US...

Unreal.

Orthodox Ping!

O heavenly King, O Comforter, the Spirit of Truth
who are in all places and fillest all things:
Treasury of good things and Giver of life:
Come and dwell in us and cleanse us from every stain,
and save our souls, O good One.

[American in Israel]

Russia is preparing to invade America, agit-prop is the game, our destruction the goal. Don’t think Obama is not playing along.

They want us to embrace the invader long enough for them to get a foothold. Then it will be Gulag gangs to harvest our resources for the Motherland.

Putin is a scumbag, never forget it.

A number of Lutheran congregations in the US support the Novasarakova Lutheran Seminary in St. Petersburg.

Therefore:

Lutheran Ping!

Be rooted in Christ!

[BBell]

I don’t know but there are a lot of Christians in China.

[ClearCase_guy]

I’m thinking of the Second Secret of Fatima, and Pope John Paul II’s focus on Mary and on Russia.

[Savage Beast]

If Russia can resist Western Decadence, it may very well become the center of the Christian World and the final repository of Western Civilization.

The Western nations, which cannot figure out how to keep heroin and cocaine pushers out of their grammar schools and prefer propaganda to truth, have birth controlled, aborted, and homosexualized themselves into demographic oblivion.

If Russia can reverse its population decline sufficiently to survive the threats of China and the Muslim World, it may inherit the earth.

[headsonpikes]

“Russia is fated to become center of Christian world”

No other country seems to want that distinction.

O tempora, o mores.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

After the fall of Rome, Constantinople became important.

After the fall of Constantinople, Moscow became “The third Rome”

At least that is the way the Russians saw it.

Russian Empire 2.0.

"the cult of the golden calf"

[Zionist Conspirator]

As much as I appreciate someone holding the line against depravity and as much as I enjoy the irony of it being the country the Left once worshiped, I can't help but be a little nervous about all this.

In the back of my mind I hear a little voice saying "Moscow is the Third Rome. The first two have fallen, the third stands, a fourth there will not be."

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

In 2013 if you were to ask me who won the Cold War, I would say both sides

That's what Dostoevsky expected would happen.

Wherever he is, he's still waiting.

Russia should know. The KGB’s American communists followed the Soviet strategy of deconstructing and demoralizing American society by pushing a variety of destructive social agenda items.

They focused on ripping apart our strength - the family and our Christian culture. Pushing homosexuality and pedophilia was one of the destructive action items. No body hates the family man better than a mentally ill dyke.
