  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

So I don't have the time to say EVERYTHING I wanted to say about this video, but I did want to get it up before today was over.

Orthodox Church against the Adventist // Mitglieder der Orthodox Kirche gegen Adventisten - YouTube

I would be especially interested to hear from the Orthodox participants as to how they feel about this, honestly. Was the church right in doing this? Is the heresy of the Adventist church something that needs to be destroyed?
Do you really want a truthful answer? Note I did not say anything about heresy - you did.

Can you also make a thread on this topic of the SDAs for the Roman Catholics? :)

Interview of SDA Pastor Septic Tank Ministry

I conducted this interview myself after seeing this bus parked close to where I work in Seattle. He seemed like a nice man who is very serious about the Pope stealing the Sabbath, etc. My next interview with him will be on the 1844 subject.

Enjoy.

May I ask if you know what's going on? And what do you 'THINK' is going on?

God be gracious to me a sinner.

I couldn't understand what it was they were saying, but the people holding the pictures, along with the guy wearing the green curtain seemed to be upset with those other people cause he threw a bucket of water on em.:confused:

They were disciplined and apologized. Can the SDA say that about their hateful ways towards Catholics? Have you heard why they did this? I have.

I'll tell you what I have observed in the video.

This is a procession at Theophany. It's annual. The sprikling of water is a blessing. For the Orthodox Chrisian, this is the water that Christ was baptised in. That is the celebration of Theophany. The priest is to sprinkle the water as far and as wide as possible. All of it is to be used in the procession.

Can we tell why they turned and went the other way after meeting this group in their path? I don't see a body of water? Is it behind the camera man? Maybe someone else can determine what their original destination was.

Watching a couple of times, I can see that this is not the first time the Priest has seen this particular group. With action so strong it would appear that this is a second or third encounter. That being the case, this Priest has most likely had discussions with his Bishop about them.

What the Priest did: He threw Theophany water on them and destroyed their table. This is an Exorcism. Pure and simple. The turning over of the table and destroying things we can relate to the Temple tables. The Priest is taking a chance on righteous indignation. The limitation comes at striking someone. I'm glad that nobody was hit. He would be defrocked should it come to that. The layity would see to it.

Can anybody read the sign? Are we sure that didn't have something to do with abortion or something that might invoke the strongest of feelings.

It's Ukrainian right? Any slovic speakers in the house?

God be gracious to me a sinner.

Just a point that's overlooked. This was not America. This was in a country where all religious material must be presented to the Parish priest for approval before it can be publicly passed out at an event. Right or wrong that is the law in that country and it wasn't done.
Does that make this proper? The Church disciplined the two priests so I would say no.

The video explains what was going on. Quite simply though nothing can be said that takes away from the fact that they threw "holy water" on the people and then on the books, before tearing down the stand and throwing it over that small hill. My question is do you approve of what was done? Do you see any fault in their actions?


They were
disciplined and apologized. Can the SDA say that about their hateful ways towards Catholics? Have you heard why they did this? I have.

When was this apology given, and what "discipline" did they receive? And my beef isn't with them saying anything. They could have marched up there, said their peace, and then walked away and I wouldn't have spoken a word. When has a report been circulated of a group of SDA christians approaching a group of Catholics and tearing down their display after throwing water on it, and them?

Seriously? An Exorcism? What demons were they trying to cast out?! How can you relate this to the turning over of the MONEY tables that were in the TEMPLE, by Christ?

I too am glad that he didn't strike anyone.

I won't pretend to know the law in the Ukraine, but if the Adventist there were in violation of it by having a book stand on display in public, then wouldn't it have been more appropriate for the police to have dealt with them?
