God’s anathema upon Evangelical Waldensian Church in Italy

  To Representatives and Believers
  of Evangelical Waldensian Church (Italy)

 
This Church has about 50,000 members. It interprets the Scripture according to so-called historical-critical theology which denies the inspiration of Scripture, Christ’s Divinity, His redemptive death on the cross as well as His real and historical Resurrection. This apostatical Church approves of the killing of unborn children – abortion – and even euthanasia. It gives a blessing to same-sex unions. The absolute majority of this Church is for gay marriage and supports perverse LGBT groups. On 26 August 2009, the representatives of this Church approved same-sex unions. On 26 June 2011, they officiated at a wedding of two homosexuals in Milan and thus created a precedent.

Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate: Letters to the members of the Bishops’ Conference of USA

Lvov (Ukraine), July 7, 2011

                                                                                                          Members of the Bishops’ Conference of USA

Dear Bishops of USA,
we live in a time about which we can say that it is the time of antichrist. One purposefully uses positive terms which cover the exact opposite. In the Church, the spirit of antichrist has taken flesh through historical-critical theology which on the one hand speaks loftily about the need to know and understand the essence of the Holy Scripture and on the other has caused the reverse – denial of the Word of God as the Word of God. This ideology has denied the inspiration of the Holy Scripture, sin, the unicity of salvation obtained through Christ’s death on Golgotha, Resurrection of Christ and all the miracles.

God’s anathema upon the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland

  To Representatives and Believers
   of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland


On 12 November 2010, the Synod of Your Church voted for the approval of a prayer with and for registered same-sex civil partners.

You rejected God’s laws and the authority of God the Creator and Supreme Law-giver. You no longer call evil evil, a sin a sin, an abomination an abomination. You exchanged the truth for a lie and turned the Church of God into a synagogue of Satan (Rev 2:9).

The fruit of perversion is no blessing but a curse and self-destruction. The apostatical Church in Finland has ceased to be a blessing for the nation and brings down a curse upon it as well as upon all Europe.

God’s anathema upon the Church of Norway

To Representatives and Believers of Norway’s Lutheran Church


On 25 September 2007, the Bishops’ Conference of Norway’s Lutheran Church voted six to five to allow gay pastors living in perverted same-sex partnership.

By this resolution they rejected God’s laws and the authority of God the Creator and Supreme Law-giver. They no longer call evil evil, a sin a sin, an abomination an abomination. They exchanged the truth for a lie and turned the Church of God into a synagogue of Satan (Rev 2:9).

God’s anathema upon the Church of Sweden

Representatives and believers
of the Church of Sweden

On 8th November 2009, for the first time in history, a woman – an open lesbian living in a sinful union with another lesbian – was “consecrated a bishop”. In October 2009, representatives of the Church of Sweden decided on allowing gay marriages in the church. By this decision of theirs they rejected the laws of God and the authority of God the Creator and Supreme Lawgiver. They no longer call evil evil, a sin a sin and an abomination an abomination. They exchanged the truth for a lie and turned the Church of God into an assembly of Satan (Rev 2:9). An official report says: “As from November 2009, believing homosexuals in Sweden can promise faithfulness to each other in the church. Thus decided representatives of the Church of Sweden.”

What faithfulness can be promised by two perverted people in the church who deny God’s commandments and God’s laws? What does the term “faithfulness” mean here? It means commitment to stubborn persistence in sin. Preaching of antirepentance is a sign of the Church of Satan which conforms to its antibible and has its false prophets (theo-logians, or rather satan-logians). This anti-Church, which records 75% of the population of Sweden, is responsible even for the introduction of state homo-laws.

It also promotes the so-called right of two morally degenerate people to adopt children. Statistics show that many homosexuals are paedophiles too. The Swedish anti-Church commits a crime against humanity on defenceless children whom it demoralizes and demonizes. This is another sign of Satanism and of the spirit of antichrist.
On 17th November 2009, the Synod of Bishops of the Ukrainian orthodox Greek-Catholic Church appealed to the Lutheran Church of Sweden for repentance by making seven concrete requirements (http://uogcc.org.ua/en/letters/article/?article=903). Unfortunately, the Church leaders refused to repent, to return to the Biblical and saving faith and to respect God’s commandments which man is not allowed to change.

The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate, by authority of the apostolic and prophetic office before God and before the Mystical Body of Christ, which is the true Church of Christ, hereby declares before all Christians of the world (Mt 18:18): The anti-Church of Sweden is no longer the Church of Christ but spiritual Babylon and the harlot of antichrist (Rev 17:1-6). We hereby call upon every member of this Church to be converted, to repent and to go out from that spiritual Babylon (Isa 52:11). The spirit of antichrist cast the Spirit of God out of this Church. All who want to be saved must separate from this anti-Church because it leads the deceived souls to eternal damnation in hell. This anti-Church has become a synagogue of Satan (see Rev 3:9; Rev 2:20-24) and preaches a different gospel. “Even if an angel from heaven should preach any other gospel to you, let him be accursed.” (Gal 1:8-9) By reason of apostasy from the Gospel of God, God has cast this curse upon the anti-Church of Sweden.

God’s anathema upon the Church of Denmark

Representatives and believers of the Church of Denmark


In 1997 the bishops’ committee of the Church of Denmark issued a document under the title Registered Partnership, Common Life, and Blessing”. In the document the bishops state: The marriage is a framework for the relation between a man and a woman, but this view of marriage is not affected by the fact that some people choose to live in a (so-called) responsible community with a person of the same sex.”

This very approach to God’s Word and God’s laws is a betrayal of Christ and His Gospel. God’s laws cannot be discussed or voted for or against. This betrayal is the fruit of so-called historical-critical theology which denies the inspiration of the Scripture, the Divinity of Christ, His redemptive death on the cross as well as His real and historical Resurrection. God’s Word clearly institutes the sacrament of marriage, but homosexual relationships are called by it a sin and an abomination.

God’s anathema upon the Evangelical Church in Germany

  To Representatives and believers
  of the Evangelical Church in Germany


Your Evangelical Church in Germany is a federation of 22 Churches. The majority of them give so-called blessing to the perverted homosexual lifestyle which God calls an abomination (see Lev 18:22). You have erased the term of sin and led people away from the way of salvation, i.e. from repentance! You have thus set a precedent for the whole world of a safe path to hell with the Church’s antiblessing. In addition, You ordain these immoral people to serve as shepherds. Instead of doing penance You kill conscience and publicly deny God’s commandments and God’s laws.

On 26th February 1996, You released the document “Living with Tensions” by which You officially approved of homosexuality in the Church. In fact, under the title of “Living with Tensions” is concealed a life without moral and God’s laws. Gods laws cannot be voted for or against; they are either observed or convict us of sin. You denied Sin and abomination!

God’s anathema upon the Austrian Protestant Church

To Representatives and Believers
 of the Austrian Protestant Church

Your Church represents about five percent of the population in Austria. In 1994, the Synod of Your Church falsely declared: “There are no fundamental theological arguments against homosexuality.” This was followed by another declaration in 1996: “The criterion for the admission to ministry is not sexual orientation, but responsible sexual behaviour.” Gay priests can live together in the manse (i.e. a flat belonging to the church). This Church appealed to state authorities for approval and legalization of these perverse unions and hence of this perversion as such in the whole nation. And this is a crime against the Church of Christ as well as against the Austrian nation.

God’s anathema upon the Evangelical Church of the Helvetic Confession in Austria

To Representatives and Believers
of the Evangelical Church of the Helvetic Confession (Austria)

Your Church blesses immoral same-sex unions and allows gay pastors.
You have thus rejected God’s laws and the authority of God the Creator and Supreme Lawgiver. You no longer call evil evil, a sin a sin, an abomination an abomination. You exchanged the truth for a lie and turned the Church of God into an assembly of Satan (Rev 2:9).

The fruit of perversion is no blessing but a curse and self-destruction. The apostatical Church in Austria has ceased to be a blessing for the nation and brings down a curse upon it as well as upon all Europe.

God’s anathema upon the Old Catholics

To Representatives and Believers of the Old Catholic Church 
in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the Netherlands


The Old Catholic Churches in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the Netherlands permit gay and lesbian priests, and bless gay couples. This contradicts the Gospel and the whole Church Tradition. The Old Catholic Church in the Netherlands has 6,000 members. By introducing perverse homosexuality, Bishop Dick Schoon from Amsterdam has denied the essence of the Christian faith; however, he states mendaciously and demagogically: “We don’t follow every modern trend... We can’t change our faith or add or subtract something from it.” Only church deceivers, church pharisees and those who are in spiritual unity with them can lie to one’s face so ingeniously. It is the apostatical theologians and apostatical hierarchy who bring down a curse upon all Europe owing to the loss of sound mind and loss of moral values.

God’s anathema upon the Protestant Church in the Netherlands

To Representatives and Believers  of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands


In May 2004, three Churches in the Netherlands joined together, namely Netherlands Reformed Church, Reformed Churches in the Netherlands and Evangelical Lutheran Church, and formed the Protestant Church in the Netherlands. In November 2004, this Protestant Church announced that it would grant “blessings” to gay couples.

As early as 1972 the synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church declared: “Homosexuality forms no obstacle to being a minister or office-bearer in the Lutheran church.” In 1995 this synod decided to bless same-sex relationships in the church as well. The synod stated: “There are no theological arguments against blessing two people in their promise of lasting friendship, devotion, and faithfulness.”

God’s anathema upon the Swiss Reformed Church

To Representatives and Believers
of the Swiss Reformed Church

The Synod of Clergy in the Canton of Basel agreed to make blessings available for immoral same-sex couples. It also resolved to permit gay and lesbian priests.

You thus reject God’s laws and the authority of God the Creator and Supreme Lawgiver. You no longer call evil evil, a sin a sin, an abomination an abomination. You exchanged the truth for a lie and turned the Church of God into an assembly of Satan (Rev 2:9).

The apostatical Swiss Church has ceased to be a blessing for the nation and brings down a curse and self-destruction upon it as well as upon all Europe.

God’s anathema upon the Church of England

To Representatives and Believers
 of the Church of England

General Synod of Your Church resolved that “homosexual orientation in itself is no bar to a faithful Christian life or to full participation in lay and ordained ministry in the Church”.

You have rejected God’s laws and the authority of God the Creator and Supreme Lawgiver. You no longer call evil evil, a sin a sin, an abomination an abomination. You exchanged the truth for a lie and turned the Church of God into a synagogue of Satan (Rev 2:9).

The fruit of perversion is no blessing but a curse and self-destruction. The apostatical Church of England has ceased to be a blessing for the nation and brings down a curse upon it as well as upon all Europe.

God’s anathema upon the Scottish Episcopal Church

  To Representatives and Believers

 of the Scottish Episcopal Church


The Scottish Episcopal Church was one of the first Churches to declare openly that the fact that someone is an active homosexual constitutes no bar to his or her ordination!

You confirmed this attitude of Yours in a document from March 2005, which states: “(We) had never regarded the fact that someone was in a close relationship with a member of the same sex as in itself constituting a bar to the exercise of an ordained ministry...”

This statement as well as the overall stance of this Scottish anti-Church is in sharp contrast to the essence of the whole Scripture and to the law of God.

God’s anathema upon the Dutch congregations of the United Protestant Church in Belgium

To Representatives and Believers  of the United Protestant Church in Belgium


Dutch congregations in your Church in Belgium allow gay ordination and confer Church blessing on the unions of two gays or lesbians.

Thus You reject God’s laws and the authority of God the Creator and Supreme Lawgiver. You no longer call evil evil, a sin a sin, an abomination an abomination. You exchanged the truth for a lie and turned the Church of God into an assembly of Satan (Rev 2:9).

Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate: Who is and who is not a Christian in USA

Lvov (Ukraine), July 7, 2011
            To U.S. President and Congress



The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate hereby announces to the U.S. President and Congress:

A)    By reason of official approval of homosexuality the following Churches have excluded themselves from the Christian Churches:
-          Presbyterian Church (USA)
-          United Church of Christ
-          Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
-          Episcopal Church of the USA
Homosexuality is a sin and abomination. These Churches no longer call a sin a sin and an abomination an abomination. Breaking God’s laws and denying the authority of God, they have excluded themselves from the Church of Christ and fallen under God’s curse acc. Gal 1:8-9. They are no Christians any more, although they deceive the public that they are.

“Metanoite (change your way of thinking) and believe in the Gospel” (Mk 1:15)

Introduction

Jesus said: “Metanoite.” How in particular situations we are to change our way of thinking and believe in the Gospel is briefly shown in several model situations following.

If we are to change our way of thinking, we first need to realize that our natural thinking is wrong, whereas the thinking based on the Gospel is right. Jesus demands of us two things: to change and to believe. What am I to change? My way of thinking. If I am to change it, I must know why to do so; I must be aware that it is bad and I must also know what is the good way of thinking.

Prohibition against “sexual education”



Benedict XVI
Supreme Pontiff
Città del Vaticano

Your Holiness,
on 11 November 2010 we wrote an open letter to You, the copy of which we sent to Presidents of UN member states. We responded to an absurd demand of the UN for introduction of sexual education of children over the age of 5. We emphasize that this is no education but crimes against children. It is systematic demoralization and demonization of innocent children.

The situation has not changed so far; on the contrary, demoralization of children has intensified through perverse UN programmes. Amoral trainings and courses are introduced as part of compulsory education. In Your native Germany, 35 cases have been recorded of penalization of parents for defending their children against demoralization in school. Some of the parents have even been imprisoned.

So-called sexual education has nothing in common with good preparation for a responsible life and responsible parenthood. It leads to unclean dependences, abortions among minors, homosexual perversion, drug addiction, sects, deadly AIDS infection and euthanasia. The worst thing is that the souls of young people are demonized and follow the path to eternal perdition.

Your Holiness, appeal to the individual UN states to boycott the so-called sexual education programmes which result in self-destruction of the nations. Call upon the UN organization and its ideologists to repent. Call upon them to introduce sound education in responsible marriage and parenthood instead of perverse programmes. Your Holiness, this is Your duty. You are to be the voice of conscience for all nations. You have to defend God’s laws and the essence of the faith. Unless You do so, the persecuted Christians are perfectly right to ask today: What is the good of papacy today? What is the sense of it?

Praying for You,
Your Bishops of the Synod of the UOGCC

                  + Elias OSBMr

Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate: Official statement on LGBTs and Juvenile justice

     To Secretary of Lvov City Council
     V. M. Pavlyuk

                                       Official statement


In a letter dated 14th June 2011, the “Movement of Pure Hearts” addressed themselves to Archbishop Markian (UOGCC). They asked for a definite and responsible statement on the issue of legalization of LGBTs and juvenile justice. Legalization of these two destructive structures endangers not only the moral and spiritual values of the Ukrainian nation but also seriously breaks God’s laws.

At the request of Bishop Markian, the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate, which also includes the Ukrainian orthodox Greek-Catholic Church (UOGCC), now makes an official statement on the given issues:
