Solid Patristic Advice

Wherefore, a good Christian ought to beware of mathematicians, or
of anyone who impiously divines, especially of those speaking the truth.

Snow White: Winter Is Coming!

If there truly is a God, whose Son gave His Holy Apostles power to bind and unbind all things in heaven and on earth, and all those myriads of popes, patriarchs, (arch)bishops, cardinals, and priests are their living successors, why are they so utterly powerless in stopping or preventing Russian missiles flying through the air from ever reaching Ukraine and brutally massacring its inhabitants ?

Apocalypse Now!

Joel 2:31

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.

Acts 2:20

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come.

Revelation 6:12

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal:
and, lo, there was a great earthquake;
and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair,
and the moon became as blood.

Life and death are but two sides of one and the same coin.

Thus, were the life-giving spirit to enliven the inanimate elements, such as the land, the air, the sea, or the flames, vivifying them, making them suddenly spring to life, and move violently or with great force, thereby inadvertently wreaking great havoc, causing powerful quakes, kindling mighty stormwinds or large waves, and igniting all-consuming fires, it would therefore, to the self-same extent, become a deadening spirit as well: Hence also the mortification of the flesh, frequently mentioned by the Apostle Paul, in relation to the Holy Ghost.

Mark 15
⁶ Now, at that (Passover) feast, (the Roman governor of Judea) released unto (the Jews) one prisoner, whomsoever they desired. ⁷ And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

⁹ Pilate answered them, saying: Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews ? ¹⁰ For he knew that the chief priests had delivered (Christ) for envy. ¹¹ But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. ¹⁵ And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

What Dreams May Come

( Click on the picture above, to view the video ).


In Dreams Begin Responsibilities

Sirach 34
¹ The hopes of a man void of understanding are vain and false: and dreams lift up fools.
² Whoso regards dreams is like him that catches at a shadow, and follows after the wind.

³ The vision of dreams is but a reflection:
 the likeness of a face beholding itself.
⁴ Of an unclean thing, what can be cleansed ?
 and from that which is false, what truth can come ?
⁵ Divinations, and soothsayings, and dreams are vain:
 and the heart fancies, as a woman's heart in travail.
⁶ Set not thy heart upon them, for dreams have deceived
⁷ many, and they that put their trust in them have failed.
⁸ The law shall be found perfect without lies:
 and wisdom is perfection to a faithful mouth.

John 16

⁷ If I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you;
⁸ And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin,
 and of righteousness, and of judgment:

⁹ Of sin, because they believe not on me;
¹⁰ Of righteousness, because I go to my Father;
¹¹ Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

Orthodox Christianity: Mortally Wounding Its Opponents Since 363 AD

Saint Basil the Great, whose feast is celebrated on New Year's Day, once prayed before an icon of the Most Holy Theotokos, upon which Saint Mercurius was depicted as a soldier holding a spear.

He asked God not to permit the emperor Julian the Apostate to return from his war against the Persians and resume his oppression of Christians. The image of the holy Great Martyr Mercurius, depicted on the icon beside the image of the Most Holy Theotokos, became invisible. It reappeared later with a bloodied spear.

At this very moment Julian the Apostate, on his Persian campaign, was wounded by the spear of an unknown soldier, who immediately disappeared. The mortally wounded Julian, as he lay dying, cried out, “Thou hast conquered, O Galilean !”
