Going to be gone for 2 weeks, but maybe will be able to post while on the road.

@FilioquistAnglo He is not a saint in the Orthodox Church.

@OrthroAug @TacticoolOrtho @JeromeChukwuwem @Nicholai_Korea Bravo! Canons are obligatory for the clergy, especially the bishops, who take a vow to uphold the canons.

@OrthoJayFrog Answer: Jesus Christ.

They call the Roman Catholic Church false and heretical. By doing so, they have declared their mother to be heretical. Now, if the mother is separated from the truth, then the daughter is as well. So, they formed the "invisible Church" hypothesis, which is nowhere to be found in the NT. They say they can unite themselves to Christ just by believing. Christ said:

The one who believeth and is baptized shall be saved [Mk. 16:16]

And He commanded the Apostles: Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, [Mt. 28:19]

Christ taught that the Apostles had the authority to baptize, not some heretical offshoot of men preaching something never received or taught by the early Church.

In reality, the Protestant mind reads the NT, but does not understand it. The NT was written by the Church for the Church. 1st Tim. is an exhortation and instructive letter from the Apostle Paul to the Apostle/bishop Timothy on how the Church should be governed by a bishop. The Protestants read but do not even understand how they are totally outside of that institution.

For all those in World Orthodoxy who "fight from within" against the heresy of Ecumenism, this is what happens to you if you are a bishop:

Today, Metropolitan Tychikos of Paphos was compelled to leave the Holy Metropolis of Paphos in Cyprus following his unjust and canonically invalid removal by Archbishop Georgios of Cyprus.

His true “offense” was not any moral failing or deviation from the Faith, but rather his steadfast commitment to the Sacred Tradition of the Orthodox Church, the teachings of the Holy Fathers, and his refusal to embrace modernist and post-patristic theological innovations.

Once again, those who seek to remain faithful to Christ and His Church find themselves opposed, marginalized, and persecuted. As Holy Scripture foretells:

“Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12).

Let us pray that Metropolitan Tychikos remains strong in his confession of the Orthodox Faith, remembering that throughout Church history many Saints were condemned, slandered, and cast aside by men, only to be vindicated by God and by the conscience of the Church.

Axios to the confessor who chose faithfulness over compromise! Shame on the persecutors responsible for this!

@Fragbaza This is what happens to those that try, as bishops, to fight this heresy of Ecumenism:

@BashlinCore @totalfoiddeath_ OK, I think I know who it is now. Can't remember her name, but it does not matter. It really is sad how the sight of something is so destructive to a person, but many people don't perceive that.

@BashlinCore @totalfoiddeath_ Who is she?

@thewardinglight Vladimir Icon of the Theotokos and Saint Panteleimon, very good.

@mentalwarfare7 Read the New Testament, and it will change you. It might not change your surroundings, but it will change your reaction to those things.

If you do what I say, then this is the beginning that will lead you to true happiness and joy in Christ.
