In no way. I am a miserable person myself, the one who needs to be led by others in order to be saved.
Thirdwoe Wrote:or is this just what you have read somewhere?
Yes, it is just my cumulative impression after reading the latest ROCOR Iiterature I have gone through so far. So take it for what it is. Should I say that ROC and most of ROCOR are heretical as well? So keep these things in mind when visiting their official websites.
Thirdwoe Wrote:Also, you quoted my question there, but then didn't answer the question I asked in the quote. I was asking about the Church of the East. I know that there are many Charismatics in The Orthodox Church, and I don't believe that I have ever heard these to be considered in heresy by The leadership of The Orthodox Church. I'll check into what you say there though, to try to validate it. Thanks for sharing!
"They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us." (1st John 2:19)
The keyword is Apostasy. Those who profess heresies that have been anathemized by the 7 Ecumenical Synods apparently remain under those anathemas until completely repented. So it is also clear that so called Russian Orthodox Church in such annual acts of anathemizing (both in Russia ano ourside its borders) has anathemized itself and desisted from being the Body of Christ and probably became one of the Satan by participating in ecumenical movements around the world and performing Eucharist services with the heretical Latin "Church", Baptist "Church" and many others. In doing they have made "ROC" no different from them. What you see happening in nowadays Russian Orthodox "Churches" mostly resembles a spectacle, a theater. Sorry for offtopic.
