The Episcopal Church’s Westminster Confession of Faith states:
“The authority of the holy Scripture, for which it ought to be believed and
obeyed, dependeth not upon the testimony of any man or Church, but wholly
upon God (who is truth itself), the Author thereof; and therefore it is to
be received, because it is the Word of God.”
The First Vatican Council proclaimed the books of the Bible sacred
“because, having been written by inspiration of the Holy Ghost, that have
God for their author, and as such have been handed down to the Church”
What does the Bible say about itself?
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any
two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of
joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the
heart” (Hebrews 4:12 New King James Version)
So, did Ghosh really say that burning the Koran is different than burning
the Bible?

Special Instructions
from apostle1.com to you the viewer: On many of the articles
and information that we post, there are links to other web sites and pages
regarding News, Information, etc. Be sure to click your "back" button in
order to return to this web site... so that you can completely read the many
other articles, news & information provided.
In addition, when you have reached the end of an
article, you will notice that there is much that can be viewed by clicking on an
article after our "Disclaimer Notice". We have taken the liberty to
provide other information such as helps in definitions and understandings that
are truly Orthodox Catholic (not of the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic
Church)... There is much, may be (according to some) too much! But there
is never such a thing as "too much" when attempting to learn and live the life a
true Christian.... For indeed if we are true Christians, we each and every one
of us needs information that will enlarge , or - at least, enhance our spiritual
understandings.
We must entrust our soul into the hands of God
the +Father, the +Son, and the +Holy Spirit who, as one God (the Holy Trinity)
is the source of all life and abundance for us who are still in this earthly
vessel. He knows our strengths (and our weaknesses) for he gave us
strength... It is our failings and sins that make us weak in spirit! If He
were to give us one dollar in conformity to our strength, we should not seek
five, so as not to grow faint under the weight of having too much, so that the
gift which is intended to serve to the good would not serve to the our great
condemnation. We must flee from our sinful falls not to reclusion, not to
the desert, but to self reproach, to confession of our sins - to repentance! Our
perplexity, our reasoning and our will - we must plunge them into the abyss of
the munificence and Providence of God!
Thank You!

something else we wish to warn you about.
DISCLAIMER NOTICE:

accuracy whatsoever! You who are new visitors, may wish to read a very short
article below entitled "The
purpose for presenting our Daily News section"
Sadly to say, we
take no pleasure in stating that some of the items we post are not from what we
would call true "Christian" organizations. But we post it because it provides
another side of the proverbial story.
The Church,
after all, is
supposed to be a temple
for sick souls (sinners) without distinction
between their worse sins or otherwise, but it seems to some organizations that
they say much about others, but fail and refuse to upbraid themselves and their
members for their own sins...)
"Never,
never, never let anyone tell you that, in order to be Orthodox, you must also be
eastern. The West was Orthodox for a thousand years, and her venerable liturgy
is far older than any of her heresies."
- Blessed St. John
Maximovitch of Shanghai and San Francisco
The purpose for presenting this Daily News section:
Daily News is very important to those who are true Orthodox Catholic Christians.
For without knowing or gaining information for understanding about what is
happening in one's local area and around the world, you could find
yourself faced with denied services in the secular area, lack of income, even
(although it sounds far-fetched) ability to worship openly for the time is not
far off when all will have to decide if they wish to follow the Anti-Christ
through the One World Church and One World Government as prophesied by the
Apocalypse, the Book of Revelation of St. John or follow the faith delivered
once and for all which will cause for many to be denied the abilities to survive
under those kind of conditions, causing for one to consider other options.
Many of those who subscribe to, and some who have caused or are the cause for,
these things to happen are involved in or with the Roman Jurisdiction of the
Catholic Church (which is not the seat of all things "Catholic") as well as its
protestant daughters such as the cultic Jehovah's Witnesses, the Pentecostal
Churches, the Church of Latter Day Saints also known as the Mormon Church and
far too many more to list.
Yet, at this web site we do provide some of the reasons about why they are
opined to be the harbingers of that which is prophesied in Holy Scripture for
the bringing about of the End Times which we have already entered. It is
not necessarily their individual members or parishioners that should be blamed
since they are only the "Sheep" and not the Shepherds... So do not think we
castigate individual people of themselves as we castigate those "money changers"
who Jesus Christ chased out of His Father's House as the Bible Describes; for
they exist in these present times too.
Events are already rushing toward
that time in which this is beginning to happen and will become more fully
wide-spread. In these present times all you need to really do is look around
both your local and larger areas as to what is really on-going through.
Things so very little or miniscule that they are barely noticeable except to the
more informed observer may become apparent.
Those
little things are the laws of the land, economics, politics, the degrading and
erosion of those rights and liberties afforded by the Constitution of these
United States of America and many other things such as the manner with which
entertainments have taken over much of the populace, entering into and becoming
a major focus in worship, and more.
We ask you,
if you don't want to believe us... Have you heard, seen or found what is termed
(of the many terms being used) that there are "holding areas" or "camps" or
"Closed/Fenced communities" being built by GOVERNMENT?
Here in
North America, especially in the United States of America, we must admit that
what Russia has come out of (a communistic, atheist country) we are entering
into. And one last thing that needs also to be understood... Something
very important to those of you who are "Catholic" in the Roman sense of its
jurisdiction.... And, we believe this also holds true for many who
are "Orthodox" whether "Eastern" or "Western"....

Only a
skilled spiritual father can help you!
Remember:
You
cannot ride two horses or serve two masters for one of them will be harmed by
your thoughts, your very words and your actions which is to blaspheme the Holy
Ghost (Spirit) who will depart from you. And when the Holy Spirit departs,
the great deceiver (unbeknownst to you) will rush in to fill the void under
disguise of being the Holy Spirit! Testing of the Holy Spirit to insure it
is the Holy Spirit does not, for many a Sectarian Protestant and Roman, work
because the Great Deceiver (Satan) is most skilled in worming and snaking his
charms around your mind and heart to feign being the Holy Spirit.
Remember, Satan has the same gifts similar to the Holy Spirit but Satan's gifts
are UN-HOLY and lead all who accept him (unbeknownst to you) to perdition.

The
lives of monks consist of a podvig
[(spiritual
struggle) exploit]
of repentance and of withdrawal from the world. They flee from judging their
neighbor in his moral falls, considering themselves to be sinners and the
worst of all men.
But, when it is demanded of monks and other clergy, that they remain humble
and indifferent to questions of faith, then do they cast off humility and
obedience. It is demanded of them, by the conscience of the Church, the
faith in and for the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ that
They rise
up when the truth of Orthodoxy is threatened.
They are supported
in this by a living conscience and by a sense of responsibility for that
faith for which our forebears-martyrs and confessors alike-sacrificed
everything, even their very lives. As a result we have opted to
present to you the story about
"Modern
Day Ecumenism and its horrors"
along with
various links to who just a few of these Synchrestic Ecumenists are who
threaten the root and branch of Christianity as exists in true Orthodox
Catholic Christianity (Both Orthodox and Roman)!
