St.
John the Baptist and Forerunner of Christ said:
Mt:3:10:
10 For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree
therefore that doth not yield good fruit, shall be cut down, and cast
into the fire. (DRV)
The
Pagan-Gnostic tree of ecumenism, in it's current form, began in the
19th century, centered around Tubingen, Germany and the Protestant
Theological school named after it; in the 20th century the Orthodox
Church has helped promote it to try and be acknowledged as the only
true church -- this effort on the part of the Orthodox failed, but
has caused great harm.
Ecumenism
is based on the higher criticism and has many Masonic ties. It is an
evil tree (a recapitulation of the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil from which, in the Garden of Eden, the devil tempted Eve and
through her Adam). The evil fruits of that evil tree are:
1)
Evolution. Instead, therefore, preach only God Who through His Son
and Word created the heaven and the earth in six days; He said so:
Ex.
20:11 For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth,
and the sea, and all things that are in them, and rested on the
seventh day: therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and
sanctified it.
2)
Setting the false (pagan, including especially an Ecumenical/CIA-Sharia false Haditha based non-Trinitarian "Islam")
religions on the same footing as the only true faith and religion,
which is in Christ. Instead, therefore, let ecumenism be damned,
absolutely anathema.
3)
Abortion. Or that marriage is evil. Instead, therefore, absolutely
oppose this modern murder of the little holy innocents. Also,
absolutely oppose the gnostic idea condemned by the Church Fathers
(St. Irenaeus, St. Hippolytus et al) that marriage is somehow
wrong. Jesus was truly
born
(St. Ignatius of Antioch) of the virgin Mary.
Ecumenists
and their vague Jesus are no different than the Gnostics and are
going to hell with them.
It
is just about Jesus. True enough. The problem is that those words
could come from the mouth of St. Paul (an Apostle of the true Christ)
or Simon Magus (one of the prime founders of Gnosticism) with
absolutely different and absolutely eternally diametrically opposed
meanings. Correct doctrine and prayer governed thereby in its form
and a life lived according to correct doctrine are of primary
importance in any real confession of Jesus Christ as Lord and
therefore Saviour.
We
do understand!
The
proponents of paganism and false ecumenism all whine that we “just
don’t understand” – the point is we do understand. They lie
like the devil. What else would you expect?
The
diabolically absurd idea of ecumenism began in the late 6th (500’s)
A.D. century in the Eastern Church. Later, the Pope got jealous and
decided he wanted it for himself. In all cases it is the example of
men bowing before the temptation of Satan. The devil even tried to
tempt Jesus Christ with this but Jesus totally rejected this
temptation of the devil – see Gospel of St. Luke Chapter 4. It was
in the East as well that the pagan worship of images was promoted
throughout the centuries, while in the West the use of images to
teach but not to worship them was the tradition. It was also in the
East that the ecumenical idea of a universal bishop was thought
up.
See the
letters (epistles) of Pope St. Gregory the Great (died 604
A.D.)concerning the “proud and pestiferous title of ecumenical”
and “images” and the Patriarch of Constantinople calling himself
the universal (ecumenical) Bishop.
EPISTLE LXVIII.
TO
EUSEBIUS OF THESSALONICA.
Be it known then to your Fraternity
that John, formerly bishop of the city of Constantinople, against
God, against the peace of the Church, to the contempt and injury of
all priests, exceeded the bounds of modesty and of his own measure,
and unlawfully usurped in synod the proud and pestiferous title of
ecumenical, that is to say, universal. When our predecessor Pelagius
of blessed memory became aware of this, he annulled by a fully valid
censure all the proceedings of that same synod,
TO CYRIACUS,
PATRIARCH OF CONSTANTINOPLE.
Gregory to Cyriacus, &c.
Observing diligently, most dear brother, how great is the virtue
of peace from the Lord's voice, which says, My peace I give unto you
(John. xiv. 27), it becomes us so to abide in the love thereof as in
no wise to give place to discord. But, since we cannot otherwise live
in its root except by retaining in mind and in deed the humility
which the very author of peace has taught, we entreat you with
befitting charity, that, treading down with the foot of your heart
the profane elation which is always hostile to souls, you make haste
to remove from the midst of the Church the offence of a perverse and
proud title (ecumenical [universal] Bishop – see above EPISTLE
LXVIII), lest you should possibly be found divided from the society
of our peace. But let there be in us one spirit, one mind, one
charity, one bond in Christ, who has willed us to be his members. For
let your Holiness consider how hard it is, how indecent, how cruel,
how alien from the aim of a priest, not to have that peace which you
preach to others, and so abstain from offending your brethren out of
pride. But study this rather, how you may prostrate with the sword of
humility the author of vain and profitless elation, to the end that
in such a victory the grace of the Holy Spirit may claim you as a
habitation for Himself, so that what is written may be plainly
fulfilled in you; the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are (2
Cor. vi.
We commend to you in all things the bearer of these
presents, our most beloved common son, the deacon Boniface, that in
whatsoever may be needful he may find, as is becoming, the succour of
your Holiness.
4) THEISTIC UNIVERSAL EVOLUTION PERPETRATED BY
KAROL WOJTYLA OCT 1962 AND FORWARD (CONDEMNED BY ALL DOCTRINES OF THE
CHURCH AND PROCLAMATIONS IN PARTICULAR BY THE DOCTRINES OF PIUS THE X
AND PIUS THE XII AGAINST MODERNISM AND PANTHEISM AND MONISM)
EVERY
SPIRIT INVISIBLE AND VISIBLE THEREOF LET BE ACCURSED
AMEN.
May
all the faithful Christians, Bishops, Patriarchs and Popes of the
last 2000 years with all the elect angels and saints of the True
Living God pray for and with us that God deliver us from Modernism
and false Ecumenism. With God we say to Modernism and false
Ecumenism: “Anathema Sit”.
So, too, when they treat of
philosophy, history, and criticism, acting on the principle that
science in no way depends upon faith, they feel no especial horror in
treading in the footsteps of Luther[11] and are wont to display a
manifold contempt for Catholic doctrines, for the Holy Fathers, for
the Ecumenical Councils, for the ecclesiastical magisterium; and
should they be taken to task for this, they complain that they are
being deprived of their liberty. Lastly, maintaining the theory that
faith must be subject to science, they continuously and openly rebuke
the Church on the ground that she resolutely refuses to submit and
accommodate her dogmas to the opinions of philosophy; while they, on
their side, having for this purpose blotted out the old theology,
endeavor to introduce a new theology which shall support the
aberrations of philosophers.
The ecumenists who claim that the
false gods of Buddhism and Hinduism and non-Trinitarian Islam etc. are to be
tolerated. False clerical “priests” who actually combine their
superficial confession in Christ with pagan religions and/or who
claim that they can control God, that is, cause Him to bind and loose
sins and therefore claim they can forgive men’s sins are liars that
actually bind men in sin. What they are practicing is theurgy
(literally from the Greek theos ergon: make God work). Theurgy is a
form of magic related to the same obsession – possession of the
pagans and Gnostics mentioned above. For example the Assyrian ashipu
or mashi mashi, the witchdoctor, would use charms and spells to
supposedly cause demons to grant good health and forgive sins etc.
all as intercessors with the pagan high god; the Chaldaeans,
Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Persians, Indians and Chinese pagans etc.
all had/have their versions of this (modern Hindus and Buddhists and false Islamist "Mohammedans" etc.). The Gnostics got their practice of this from the
pagans and the Naaseni. As St. Irenaeus tells us in the passage of
his quoted below is that, in fact, such men cause obsession –
possession of others and absolutely, since they are blaspheming the
Holy Spirit, as Christ warned us not to do, not only are they not
forgiving anyone their sins, but are binding themselves and those who
rely on them in sin and damnation, and at the same time, all sorts of
disease and mental problems and paranoia and evil spirits. The false
ecumenical movement of many so-called Christian churches with pagan
religions, the Catholic charismatic movement and the Marian
apparitions, and all the so-called healing and conversion/salvation
and altar–call supposed Christian ministeries on TBN, are equally
guilty of this. The biblical language that Christ uses in “binding
and loosing” means that only He forgives sin and sets His
requirements for baptism for the Apostles and all Christians to
observe.

The title of Ecumenical Bishop was
assumed by the Patriarch of Constantinople, John the Faster, at a
synod held in 588. Gregory I the Patriarch of Rome (Pope) protested
calling it a pestiferous title and saying that it was a forerunner of
the Antichrist, and a long controversy followed, the question was
still at issue when Gregory died in 604 A.D. Gregory had indeed
declared that there were three Sees of St. Peter, namely Antioch,
Rome and Alexandria (the last via the office of St. Mark). Gregory
after the fashion of his time addressed all Bishops as Pope (Father).
However, this was extremely questionable as to it’s advisability,
since St. Irenaeus had in 180 A.D. shown what the Church had known
all along, that the arch heretic and foe of the Church, Simon Magus
in the first century had wanted to be regarded as Father in direct
violation of Our Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ’s commandment
to call no one on earth Father for only one in heaven is your Father.
When St. Paul said that he had been like a father in the faith to St.
Timothy he never said “and so all of you CALL me Father”. St.
Paul’s statement is simply that he had taught St. Timothy
correctly. After the Gnostics had for a couple of centuries emulated
Simon Magus (Simon the Magician) in insisting to be called Father in
imitation of the pagans, the early bishops of the Church decided that
they should be called this. In the fourth century A.D. a conflation
of the two separate terms of presbyter and hierus was made and, in
imitation of the pagans again, Christian “priests” came into
being. The Bishops were called Pope and those in important centers
Patriarch, both of which mean Father. The inevitable result was for
the Patriarchs to argue (as did the Apostles, see Mark 9:33-41) as to
who was the greatest amongst themselves. In all of this, the
Patriarchs, very definitely including Pope St. Gregory the Great
(recognized, ironically, by the east as a saint), did all they could
to curry favor with the emperor.
This idiocy on the part of BOTH
east and west continued until Pius IX (from 1846 – 1878 reigned in
Rome, but not in Heaven where God alone Reigns, and in fact it is
truly God alone in Christ alone Who is the Blessed and Only Sovereign
King of kings and Lord of lords; which doesn’t give earthly kings
any divine rights). Pius IX attempted to have himself declared
infallible at the First Vatican Council, which was recessed and never
reopened; therefore no declaration was ever made officially that the
Pope is infallible.
Pius IX had been at this for quite some time
before the first Vatican Council. The following is the objection of
the east.
Encyclical of the Eastern Patriarchs, 1848
A Reply to
the Epistle of Pope Pius IX, "to the Easterns"
To All
the Bishops Everywhere, Beloved in the Holy Ghost, Our Venerable,
Most Dear Brethren; and to their Most Pious Clergy; and to All the
Genuine Orthodox Sons of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic
Church: Brotherly Salutation in the Holy Spirit, and Every Good From
God, and Salvation.
The holy, evangelical and divine Gospel of
Salvation should be set forth by all in its original simplicity, and
should evermore be believed in its unadulterated purity, even the
same as it was revealed to His holy Apostles by our Savior, who for
this very cause, descending from the bosom of God the Father, made
Himself of no reputation and took upon Him the form of a servant
(Phil. ii. 7); even the same, also, as those Apostles, who were ear
and eye witnesses, sounded it forth, like clear-toned trumpets, to
all that are under the sun (for their sound is gone out into all
lands, and their words into the ends of the world); and, last of all,
the very same as the many great and glorious Fathers of the Catholic
Church in all parts of the earth, who heard those Apostolic voices,
both by their synodical and their individual teachings handed it down
to all everywhere, and even unto us. But the Prince of Evil, that
spiritual enemy of man's salvation, as formerly in Eden, craftily
assuming the pretext of profitable counsel, he made man to become a
transgressor of the divinely-spoken command. so in the spiritual
Eden, the Church of God, he has from time to time beguiled many; and,
mixing the deleterious drugs of heresy with the clear streams of
orthodox doctrine, gives of the potion to drink to many of the
innocent who live unguardedly, not giving earnest heed to the things
they have heard (Heb. ii. 10), and to what they have been told by
their fathers (Deut. xxxii. 7), in accordance with the Gospel and in
agreement with the ancient Doctors; and who, imagining that the
preached and written Word of the LORD and the perpetual witness of
His Church are not sufficient for their souls' salvation, impiously
seek out novelties, as we change the fashion of our garments,
embracing a counterfeit of the evangelical doctrine.
2. Hence have
arisen manifold and monstrous heresies, which the Catholic Church,
even from her infancy, taking unto her the whole armor of God, and
assuming the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God (Eph. vi.
13-17,) has been compelled to combat. She has triumphed over all unto
this day, and she will triumph for ever, being manifested as mightier
and more illustrious after each struggle.
3. Of these heresies,
some already have entirely failed, some are in decay, some have
wasted away, some yet flourish in a greater or less degree vigorous
until the time of their return to the Faith, while others are
reproduced to run their course from their birth to their destruction.
For being the miserable cogitations and devices of miserable men,
both one and the other, struck with the thunderbolt of the anathema
of the seven Ecumenical Councils, shall vanish away, though they may
last a thousand years; for the orthodoxy of the Catholic and
Apostolic Church, by the living Word of God, alone endures for ever,
according to the infallible promise of the LORD: the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it (Matt. xviii. 18). 5. The new doctrine,
that "the Holy Ghost proceedeth from the Father and the Son,"
is contrary to the memorable declaration of our LORD, emphatically
made respecting it: which proceedeth from the Father (John xv. 26),
and contrary to the universal Confession of the Catholic Church as
witnessed by the seven Ecumenical Councils, uttering "which
proceedeth from the Father." (Symbol of Faith).
i. This novel
opinion destroys the oneness from the One cause, and the diverse
origin of the Persons of the Blessed Trinity, both of which are
witnessed to in the Gospel.
ii. Even into the divine Hypostases or
Persons of the Trinity, of equal power and equally to be adored, it
introduces diverse and unequal relations, with a confusion or
commingling of them.
iii. It reproaches as imperfect, dark, and
difficult to be understood, the previous Confession of the One Holy
Catholic and Apostolic Church.
v. It reproaches the Fathers of the
third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh Ecumenical Councils, which
had published over the world a divine Creed, perfect and complete,
and interdicted under dread anathemas and penalties not removed, all
addition, or diminution, or alteration, or variation in the smallest
particular of it, by themselves or any whomsoever. Yet was this
quickly to be corrected and augmented, and consequently the whole
theological doctrine of the Catholic Fathers was to be subjected to
change, as if, forsooth, a new property even in regard to the three
Persons of the Blessed Trinity had been revealed.
x. It has been
condemned by many Holy Councils of the four Patriarchs of the
East.
xi. It was subjected to anathema, as a novelty and
augmentation of the Creed, by the eighth Ecumenical Council,
congregated at Constantinople for the pacification of the Eastern and
Western Churches.
Wherefore the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic
Church, following in the steps of the holy Fathers, both Eastern and
Western, proclaimed of old to our progenitors and again teaches today
synodically, that the said novel doctrine of the Holy Ghost
proceeding from the Father and the Son is essentially heresy, and its
maintainers, whoever they be, are heretics, according to the sentence
of Pope St. Damasus, and that the congregations of such are also
heretical, and that all spiritual communion in worship of the
orthodox sons of the Catholic Church with such is unlawful. Such is
the force of the seventh Canon of the third Ecumenical Council.

From
the Book of the End
Was it not about this that Bishop
Theophanes the Recluse prophesied more than eighty years ago in his
interpretation of the Second Epistle to the Thessalonians, when he
said: ‘Although the name of Christianity will be heard everywhere,
and churches and church rites will be seen everywhere, all this will
be only appearance, while within will be true apostasy (pp. 491-492).
Christ Himself in His Sermon on the Mount clearly said that nobody
can serve two masters (Matthew 6.24); it is impossible simultaneously
to serve God and Mammon, that is, this world lying in evil; it is
impossible at one and the same time to please Christ and Beliar, that
is, the servants of the coming Antichrist, in the person of the clear
or secret God-fighting authorities (II Corinthians 6.15).”
See
the Following excerpts from The Book Of The End:
THE BOOK OF THE
END
“The treading underfoot of the Holy City, Jerusalem, or the
Ecumenical Church, for the course of forty-two months signifies that
at the time of the coming of the Antichrist the faithful will be
persecuted for the course of three and a half years.

The above book concerning the Apocalypse,
chapter 13; etc. tells us of the future or coming event of the
Antichrist, his destruction and the recreation of the universe by God
in the future. For instance Huchede tells us, in part:
“‘Since
he will be the incarnate evil and according to the expression of St.
Ireneus (c. 28, lib. 5), the maximum of malice, "recapitulatio
universae iniquitatis," the Fathers are justified in applying to
him all the passages in the Sacred Scriptures in which there is
question of the actions of God and His Church.
We are therefore
justified in asserting that Antichrist has been prefigured by the
persecutions of the Church, by all the enemies of Jesus Christ,
whatever may have been the form under which they have existed. Cruel
persecutors such as the Caesars represent his future cruelty towards
those who will remain faithful to God. Hypocritical persecutors such
as Julian the Apostate are typical of his deception and consummate
hypocrisy. Heresy and schism, but above all the incredulity and
impiety of our time, are the prelude to the great Apostasy into which
he will cause many to fall. Finally, those who give themselves up to
their passions and who drink from the pool of iniquity form
themselves to his image and likeness, which explains the words of St.
Paul when he said, "For the mystery of iniquity already
worketh." (2 Thes. 2:7).’
‘…three different
persons: "And I saw from the mouth of the dragon, and from the
mouth of the beast, and from the mouth of the false prophet, three
unclean spirits like frogs." (Apoc. 16:13). The dragon, the
beast, and the false prophet signify Satan, Antichrist, and the
principal apostle of Antichrist. These three different beings command
all the other demons. In the work of our redemption, the three divine
persons of the adorable Trinity manifested themselves. The Son adores
the Father; the Holy Ghost gives glory to the Son. And we see that in
the mystery of iniquity Antichrist adores Satan and the false prophet
glorifies Antichrist. Hence we have every reason to show that this
false prophet will be an individual person and not a collective term
to designate the universality of preachers engaged in the service of
Antichrist. We can even assert that he will not be a king, nor a
general of an army, but a clever apostate, fallen from the episcopal
dignity. From being an apostle of the Gospel he will become the first
preacher of the false messiah. These conjectures are not devoid of
much plausibility. (Acosta, Book 2, Ch. 16). Antichrist will
communicate his power of working miracles to others, who will go into
different countries and cities to gain new proselytes by all the
human and diabolical means in their power. (Acosta, 2, 16). It is
thus that the words of Our Lord will be fulfilled. "For there
shall rise up false Christs and false prophets, and they shall show
signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
Take ye heed, therefore. Behold I have foretold you all things."
(Mk 13:22 23). "And then if any man shall say to you: Lo, here
is Christ; lo, he is here, do not believe. . . he is in the desert,
go ye not out." (Mat. 24:23-26). Benighted apostles who will
indeed turn away from truth! (2 Tim. 4:4). They blaspheme the majesty
of God and despise all true authority. "Raging waves of the sea,
foaming out their confusion, wandering stars to whom the storm of
darkness is reserved forever." (Jude 1:13). "Fountains
without water and clouds tossed with whirlwinds, to whom the
midst
of darkness is reserved." ( Pet:. 2:17).’
Note in the above
that the false irenic, the so-called ‘ecumenical church’
movement, is the seat of the false prophet.
At the recreation of
God’s creation after Satan, the Antichrist, the false prophet, all
who congregate around them, especially the so-called ‘ecumenical
church’ movement and all the wicked spirits and wicked men are cast
into hell forever, Huchede also tells us:
3 And said: amen I say
to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you
shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
THIS IS THE KEY
VERSE
Just like a small child who utterly trusts his Father and
does without question what his Father says, at all times, obeying Him
without any notice of or entanglement in the morass of those who
stand in the way attempting to block his holding the Father's hand
(Christ at the right hand of the Father and Who came as the Christ
Child for our salvation), unentangled with the Pharisee, Sadducee,
Scribe, Lawyer, Hypocrite (modern day: ecumenist, priest, theologian,
minister, evangelical moneymaking weacher preacher).
Just like a
small child who forgives without holding back or seeking any approval
of men (and certainly not by any supposed mediation thereof) those
who have trespassed against him.
Just like a small child who
naturally without thinking shows real involved (for free, not
charging any money, but giving to those in need) compassion.
Just
like a small child who utterly trusts the Father’s pity and mercy
and shows the same to all others.
