Protestants can't comprehend that we actually believe in our religion and take it seriously when Jesus tells us to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, and visit the prisoners.
These churches chose to renew communion at the Union of Brest-Litovsk and continued to be in unity until they were violently seized by the Russian Empire or Soviet Union during widespread persecution and killing of Byzantine Catholics.
🇽🇰 Kosovo, over 95% Muslim, has elected a Catholic woman, Justina Shiroka-Pula, as president to represent everyone. Her faith was never an obstacle.
Religious coexistence isn’t a myth here in Kosovo. It’s a reality.
The Balkans’ youngest democracy, setting an example.
How about you first answer your detractors on your view of baptism.
You make comments, and then won’t answer serious challenges. Why should anyone even listen to you?
Father Ron you dont have to answer for misleading people! We can just say things and ignore any evidence to the contrary how else will i keep my megachurch going
🇽🇰 Kosovo avoids snap elections and political crisis in final minutes.
LVV and PDK have agreed to elect Justina Shiroka Pula, head of the Kosovo Academy of Sciences and Arts, as the country’s new president.
Pula was formerly affiliated with PDK (served as minister).
You are making a big mistake by mixing religion with the state. The Republic of Kosovo is a secular state, so religion has absolutely nothing to do with the head of state! The main thing is that we have moved past the political deadlock , now lets Kosovo move forward 😉
Except the Balkans is basically universally divided on religious lines. To punish Serbia for refusing islamic tyranny and extermination they made up Kosovo
A nation that recognises that their roots are in Greek democracy is a friendly nation to us.
The Acropolis of Athens symbolises the epitome of democracy in the past.
🇺🇸🇬🇷 RUBIO IN ATHENS: “THE HISTORY OF AMERICA IS COVERED WITH THE FINGERPRINTS OF ANTIQUITY”
Speaking at the historic Pnyx in Athens, with the Acropolis behind him, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio highlighted the deep influence of ancient Greece on the United States and its institutions.
«“Greece is literally carved into the architecture of our government.”»
Rubio pointed to the columns, domes and monuments across Washington and noted that Philadelphia, the city where the US Constitution was born, is itself a Greek name.
A striking message from Athens as Rubio speaks about the shared heritage of the United States and Europe.

According to FOTW, one of their ideas was "to attempt to transform Croats into Serbs of Catholic faith"
Five non-negotiables of Christianity:
1. We are justified by faith alone in Jesus Christ.
2. God is triune in nature.
3. The Bible is the inerrant, infallible word of God and our highest authority.
4. Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human.
5. Jesus bodily resurrected.
Going to church is part of being a good person. Being good is not some ephemeral thing.... being good is to be as God. To be as God you should go to church
The devil loves Orthodox Christians fighting and attacking each other on social media.
It betrays our eucharistic bond in the Church that Christ died to bring about. "Many are sick and have died."
It destroys our witness and turns people away from the house of salvation. "You will know they are Christians by their love."
Why argue about God if we betray Him in the process? We should only be debating and correcting if we can maintain love for the other person.
Challenged is completely different. And just because something means done, does not mean I can presume God has elected me to be His prophet.
Discernment in when and how is key. Nothing I said is against correction fundamentally, of course.
I'm not sure where you're going with this. For the record in a hopeful universalist - that everyone will be saved
But where are you getting the single predestination from? Because I agree - single implies double
The Catholic church taught in Trent the salvation and predestination of the Elect.
Its hard to nail down Catholic doctrine it changes a lot but I hope your right. I dont think God has to save all people or anything Im not a universalist but I hope he does lol. Lord knows I dont want to be judged as harshly as I deserve.
So we likely agree on that. Not that Universalism is correct because they are cringe and gay... but I do hope for it lol
There was no German King are you talking about the Kaiser of the German Empire?
If thats what your talking about he was furious when the communists seized power and it was likely that Germany had planned on fixing that after they defeated the communists in the west.
If the entente was against that why did they support the destruction of Russia? The King Of England mocked and ridiculed the Great Tzar when he asked for Asylum.
This is at best a cringe take
