He didn’t leave THAT Church, for sure. Stick to the Bible and leave the politics to the denominational leaders.
EXACTLY. Very well put. He answers to God alone, not to a particular denomination, nor to a group of politicians, nor even to us. :-)
The Orthodox Church is NOT a denomination. It is the Church of the Apostles, founded at Pentecost. And—with some not-so-good exceptions—it does not tell you how to vote!!
The video I referenced shows the difference between the Church and denominations.
The problem with “sticking to the Bible” is that there as many interpretations of it as there are believers. And some of the Bible’s alleged interpreters are telling us to vote for Biden/Harris, or even to go out into the streets and riot!!!!
If we did not have the pandemic, I would tell you to visit the nearest English-language Orthodox Church and see for yourself. With God’s help, you may be able to do that in 2021.
