From the Mind of Abouna: FREAKY DEAKY FRIDAY POTPOURRI

Some of This and Some of That:

Just some things to make you think.

For Whom Does the Bell Toll?

There is a disturbing trend spreading across Europe, but it is especially prominent in Germany. We are witnessing the death of Christianity.

The German people, as well as people all across Europe are saying that they do not want to tie themselves down or devote themselves to anything fixed be it a church, political party or any thing else. They say that they just want to live their lives and have fun.

According to a recent study, done by Dresdner Bank, in the coming ten to fifteen years, 50% of the churches in Germany may close or be turned to other uses.

In Germany, there are many pressures facing the churches, such as secularization and emptying of many villages as people move elsewhere to find work. Then to, Germany has a state religion tax that is collected from all church members, which keeps thousands from joining a church.

Should we be alarmed?

Yes, we should, because we can see the workings of iniquity in the telling words: “They just want to live their lives and have fun” If one looks around, you will find this same attitude gaining a strong foot hold right here in America. It makes no difference if one is a traditionalist Orthodox Catholic, Roman Catholic or a member of any of the Protestant Churches, there is a growing lack of concern for being responsible to the very Faith one was raised in, not wanting to live by and follow the moral precepts of the Ten Commandments and the teachings found in Holy Scripture. The majority of people today want the soft easy path, even if that path leads them straight to hell. As Jesus Christ is pushed farther and farther out of our daily lives, worldliness and Mohammed are moving in to fill the void. Thus we see the Evil One becoming a major infection, like a hideous cancer, permeating the lives and daily affairs of mankind to such an extent that unless “Church” is a theater of entertainment and “feel good” motivational lessons on how to “name it and claim it”, people want nothing to do with it. Even here in America, a recent study found that approximately 65-70% of Americans claim that they no longer believe in any religion or even in God.

So many of today’s churches have been inundated with those who support and push the gay agenda, those who support abortion and euthanasia, those who insist on getting married in white, even though they may already have a “bun in the oven” or at least one, two or more children from previous men. The majority of those in the churches today do NOT want to hear that they are sinners or about repentance. All they want to hear is how much Jesus loves them “Just as they are”, with no need to change. All they are interested in is being made to feel good. Today, when you hear young people, who are living an immoral life-style or engaged in questionable activities, say: “My parents support me”, what they are really saying is “My parents are tolerant of my life-style”. This is what they want from society and the Church.

Many priests, ministers and pastors of these churches are also of questionable moral standing. Many living in openly gay relationships, many being pedophiles or pederasts, and many of them being just plain hucksters living high on the proverbial hog, flying around the world in their own private jets, driving the most expensive automobiles, living in multimillion dollar mansions, and decked out in the most expensive suits, perfectly coiffed hair-dos and the most expensive watches and other jewelry, while the members of their congregations who are supporting them are struggling to make a living.

With the exception of a small remnant from each of the churches, I fear we have seen the end of the Church as we have known it. The best we can hope for at this point is that those of us who are still true believers will have the courage and the grace to continue the fight to the end.

For whom does the bell Toll? It tolls for the Body of Christ and for the loss of our souls.

Child-care Center Tailors Homosexual

Lessons for Toddlers:

The growing stage of a child is very crucial in the context that they pick up everything that they see in their surroundings. This makes it even more important that the toddlers are brought up in such a way, which will help them in becoming a responsible citizen.

According to reports from Daily Telegraph, the toddlers in a Sydney child-care center are taught about same-sex and transgendered parents. This government-funded centre is aiming to change the way the child perceive about ’sexuality’ and for this; they have even planned an exclusive curriculum.

All children from the age group 6 weeks to 6 years old are given lessons on ‘lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and inter-sex issues’. Slowly, even printed materials are being provided in this day care schools with pictures to make it more appealing for the young kids.

Here you have a perfect example of the Gay and Lesbian groups brain-washing the next generation into accepting a disgusting, perverted, immoral and unnatural life-style. Is this not a form of Child Abuse?
