Palestinian Muslims Beat, Torture and Threaten Greek Monks in Jerusalem
Orthodox Christian Ministry, January 18, 2018:
The abbot of the Monastery of Saint Theodosios in Jerusalem, Elder Hierotheos, describes in the video below what the Orthodox monks of the Holy Land are made to endure at the hands of Palestinian Muslim extremists.The story of Elder Hierotheos is one of the many stories of the monks of the Holy Land, who are daily tormented and endure hardships.Elder Hierotheos has been in the Holy Land for 60 years, and as abbot of the Monastery of Saint Theodosios for 40 years he has suffered many hardships, has been attacked by extremists, has been beaten up, has been expelled, and has been threatened.Although he is simple and humble, with steadfastness and deep faith he has endured the suffering.Before the Holy Land he served as a reservist in Korea and in Vietnam.He then became a monk and was ordained a priest, and served as an abbot on Mount Tabor at the Monastery of the Transfiguration, at the Monastery of the Honorable Forerunner at the Jordan, and the Monastery of Saint Gerasimos at the Jordan during the Six Day War. He also served as abbot of the Monastery of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem, as well as other holy sites of the Holy Land.Among other things he says:“From the punches I have received, I am completely deaf in one ear, and from the other I can hear a little bit… After I was slapped by a former mayor of the village I had problems with my right eye. With his nail he tore open my cheek and a mole I had on my face… Another time they broke my hand and it was in a cast for a long time… Another time they broke my leg… Once they wanted to burn me alive with my nuns, while another time they opened a tomb on the estate of the monastery outside and they wanted to bury me alive. If the nuns were not screaming along with other women who were passing by they would have done it… Stoning has becoming customary for us. They constantly stone us, let alone spitting on us and publicly shaming us…these things have become like a good morning to us. Glory to God!”https://youtu.be/gy00G52w65U

This turning the other cheek is not working out particularly well. It is a nice noble sentiment, however the Church has sufficient martyrs. Active Christians who are capable fo defending the faith, are required, to do this they have to be there, and alive. There is no point in discussing this with the Catholic hierarchy as it is for the most part sympathetic to the absorption of Christianity by islam. What is necessary is a new proactive aggressive “Knights Templar” to defend Christianity, especially in the middle east. This group should be lead by Polish Catholics, as they are the core of actual Catholicism, the crislam coming out of rome is at best, heresy

As a Christian I have to admit that too many of my fellow Christians are IDIOTS
That abbot described the tortures he (and his fellow clergies) received as ‘Good Morning Gesture’
For me, and yes, I am still a Christian, if them moslem savages gave me that ‘Good Morning Gesture’ I will repay them with ‘Good Night Forever’ maneuver – sending them on a one way ticket to hell

Agree. Jesus never faced muslim savages , Romans and the corrupt jewry who fleeced the populace were his worst enemies. but they committed atrocities that pale in significance compared to what muslims do.
And the pope supports more such “immigrants” into christian lands while he has not voiced his outrage against atrocities by muslims in muslim lands https://tinyurl.com/ydy9xkxs
And this fraud hides behind 40 ft walls and criticises Trump for building a wall !

Allow me to point out that Jesus’ very first command to his disciples was that each buy a sword, even if they had to sell their cloaks to get the purchase price. That should send a message to the mainline churches and their members.

I agree, Pope Francis is a disgusting fraud. After all that Christians over the centuries have suffered at the hands of Muslims and now after all their disgusting savagery in Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Iran, Nigeria ad far more, no true Christian would feel anything but outrage against such savages. The fact is that either he does not know his Bible or chooses to ignore what it says because he is a fraud or mentally ill.
This what Muslim converts to Christianity told Dope Francis in a letter Pamela published:
“If anyone comes to you but refuses this Gospel, do not receive him among you nor greet him. Whoever greets him participates in his evil works.” (2 John 1.10-11);
“If anyone preaches to you a different Gospel, let him be accursed!” (Galatians 1.8-9).
They also told him: “I was a stranger and you welcomed Me” (Matthew 25) cannot mean “I was an invader and you welcomed Me”. It’s now evident that he is ignoring the content of their letter. And yet thousands of Catholics still gather in St Peter’s Square when this man is going to make an appearance! Figure that one!

Based on actual experience with Palestinian Christians … it is a shared worldview of Arab supremacy and Palestinian victimhood, but with a strong dose of Stockholm Syndrome. These folks are totally happy to hate on the West and their fellow Christians – but will not curse Islam or Mohammed. They also think the West and their fellow Christians need to love on Islam – as if our obsequious appeasement and billions of dollars in jizya is not enough.

Unfortunately most do. The second article I posted is interesting because it is about Palestinian Christians needing to escape Palestinian Muslims so they go to Chile where they, by choice, align with the same Palestinian Muslims they had to flee. I’ve encountered this in Los Angeles as well: Arab Christians joining forces with the Muslims who are slaughtering their fellow Christians. Remember, Ted Cruz got booed while speaking at an Arab Christian event when he mentioned Israel, the only place in the region and the Muslim world where Christians are safe, protected, prosperous and have full rights.

Maybe they do that because they’re afraid they will be treated even worse by the Muslims if the Muslims hear they publicly support Israel. Then again, I have not known many Arab Christians myself, so I do not know for sure what most believe.

All true Mahou. Turning the other cheek is not a nation to nation or community to community requirement. Christians forget this at their peril. Being Christian does not require us to surrender our nation or community. Indeed, one could argue we have a duty to defend our neighbors from attack, and therefore we should be ‘cheeky’ to the disingenuous Leftist demanding our unilateral surrender to Islam.
If that were the case, no Christian could be a police officer much less a soldier or any other law enforcement type. Every commandment in the Sermon on the Mount has been turned on its head by someone, and the cheeky command is one of the most abused.

Woes to the Wicked
…19Who say, “Let Him make speed, let Him hasten His work, that we may see it; And let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near And come to pass, that we may know it!” 20Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! 21Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes And clever in their own sight!…
Apples are not oranges. When oranges act like oranges, the apples need to look after the apples and not the oranges. If the oranges wage war against the apples and say „we are a peaceful fruit“ then the apples need to judge the bitterness of the oranges by their actions and not what they say about themselves.
This world has gone insane that I need to use apples and oranges to talk about what every one on this planet is going on.
Since 9/11 only the oranges have caused over 30,000 or more instances of bloody terrorism, but the apples aren‘t allowed to say what the oranges are doing is an orange problem. No, the apples are told to blame the apples for the pain and suffering the oranges feel. One day, the oranges will take over and there won‘t be an apple remaining because the apples were blind to the differences between apples and oranges.

When a tree is bearing rotten fruit, that tree ought to be
chopped-down before it infects the entire orchard.
If that tree produced some ‘good fruit’ and ‘bad fruit’, the wise man
will be careful not to throw a rotten apple in with the good
ones or he risks having the entire basket decay.
It’s really difficult to tell which fruit is good or bad since they’re
decayed from the inside-out; who has the time, patience, or wisdom to sort.
Moral of story; “The roots of the tree, the tree itself, was just nasty-rotten;
chances are that ALL of the fruit is just as decayed/rotten.
Destroy it, before it infects/poisons/destroys us, the other trees in the orchard.”
*This was the case with Joshua and the Canaanites.*

This HAS to be “fake news”, right? It cannot be happening because the moslems and the Christians are united, right?
Coming out of the Sunday service in his Assyrian Catholic church in Jerusalem, Fredrick Hazo accused Trump of “dragging all the world into trouble”, and called on the U.S. leader to reverse his decision.
“We are united – Christians, Muslims, we are one,” said the 59-year-old Palestinian musician, standing in an alley in the heart of the Old City, surrounded by shops selling religious trinkets.

Do you home work on early Christianity all the way up to today, and create a timeline. Also start a timeline on Islam, and place side by side.
One has to divide Asia Middle East, Africa, into sections with faiths before Islam, even Europe.
The most attacked people have mostly been non Catholics excluding Islam
Majority of attacks in the West has been done by Catholicism while in Africa, done by Catholicism and Islam, and rest of Middle East and Asia done by Islam.
Most of West Europe has been forced conversions or death, most noticeably since the Great Schism 1054, when Orthodox Church split with the Catholic Church. First Inquisitions 1095, First Crusade, part of first Crusade killed Jews in Southern Germany and about 66,000 Jews killed Jerusalem. The real First Crusade was Battle of Hastings, where the Papal Flag was flown in attacking Orthodox King Harold. There were more Crusades against the West than against Islam
Most of attacks against the Catholics have been in defence

If you notice, moslems and Catholics both use ‘prayer beads’ while praying and have deep reverence of the Blessed Virgin, Mary. Both have had their eyes transfixed on a very blessed and sacred piece of real estate for thousands of years.
Because of the number of similarities between the two systems, I believe the RC church
is responsible for the birth/beginnings/creation of iz-lam.

The Roman Catholic and Islamic Connection
https://youtu.be/ll0otULYzms
This video tends to make sense when one studies early Christianity
Muhammad learnt lots from Waraka the priest and Khadija.
Still trying to work out what was Waraka who said Muhammad was a prophet with Khadija.
As the video says most smaller Christian faiths vanished by the fifth century only leaving bigger faiths. Donatist in North Africa vanished under Agustine of Hippo and later by Muslims. North Africa had huge populations of non Catholic Christians mostly Donatist a big threat to Catholic/Orthodox by Donatus who argued against the Traditores. He would not accept those that betrayed other Chiristians, burnt scripture from holding office etc. Islam formed when Muhamnaed 40 years old 610AD
Under the third Council East and Oriental Churches split, basically the Christian Churches we so much hear persecuted in the Middle East all the way into Turkey, been the Oriental Church
The six Oriental Orthodox churches – Coptic, Syrian, Armenian, Ethiopian, Eritrean and (Indian) Malankara – are also called ancient Oriental, lesser Eastern, and pre- or ante-Chalcedonian churches. They are the churches of the first three ecumenical councils” (Nicea,* Constantinople* and Ephesus) but do not accept the fourth, Chalcedon” (451). The six churches are in communion”- with each other.

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. Protestants and Muslims both wear clothes and eat food, therefore Protestants are pagans. Many Protestants curiously are also focused on the same real estate. Maybe because they read the Bible?
As for the Virgin Mary … Yes it is funny how some so-called Christians think their ‘god’ was born of a whore, but other Christians defend her. And somehow this places them in the same camp with Satan’s minions who claim their ‘Isa’ is the anti-Christ.
That’s a lot mental back flips.

When you also get a chance look up list of apologies but Pope John Pail II, you will also find Fourth Crusade, and why would a Pope apologise for it.
Why send 10,000 Catholic Crusaders without money to buy boats to sail from Venice to Egypt. The Doge of Venice did not want the Crusaders to sail to Egypt to spoil his trade and friendship with Muslim Egypt. Would not the Crusaders be expecting a huge greeting party of Muslims.
What you read you got to read beyond what we are told. Just think if Orthodox Constantinople – Turkey had not fallen, we may not have had the genocides or even our world wars as no Muslims to assist Germany, and the Dardanelles the allied forces would have walked in.Same with WW2 no Waffen SS to assist Hitler
The History of Orthodox Christianity in part three gives the answer of this four part documentary and learn about the alliance between the Orthodox Church with Catholicism and the Great Schism.
I like the battle map of the final fall of Constantinople, showing how Constantinopleuld not protect all the walls.
10,000 Crusaders, raping, sacking killing for a few days must have killed many. How many did each Crusader kill each day?
Pope John Paul II apoligises for Fouth Crusade sacking Constantinople. That was Ronan Catholic against Orthodox Constantinople
