Reflection on Jn 9:35-38

Post date:   2014-04-12

Chapter nine of John’s Gospel describes in detail the event relating to the healing of the blind man and the spiteful reaction of the religious leaders – the Pharisees and the scribes. There are three kinds of blindness: physical blindness when man is sightless, mental blindness when man is bereft of reason and spiritual blindness when man does not believe in God. Just as in the times of Christ, so also today there are people who reject Christ and are spiritually blind, though they are able to see and sane in mind. The main reason why people do not believe is that they do not want to. They do not want to accept the way of salvation which God offers them. Everyone needs personal experience with God. No theological study can substitute for this personal faith. The living faith is poured into our hearts by God. It is His gift. We receive this gift in our personal encounter with Him.



Another tragedy in the Catholic Church

Canonization of the heretical Pope John Paul II is the greatest tragedy for the Church. Canonization of a heretic has been unheard of throughout the history of the Catholic Church. By his words, gestures and policy of concealment John Paul II opened the Church to heresies and the spirit of antichrist. The fruit is massive apostasy of Catholics from the living and saving faith in Jesus Christ and dechristianization of the Christian nations. Instead of just laws founded on the Decalogue, Christian states have adopted an anti-Decalogue which establishes a totalitarian globalization system of the antichrist. Canonization of John Paul II means official approval of syncretism, heresy, homosexuality, the New World Order and Freemasonry!

Reflection on Jn 8:34-36

Jesus emphasizes an important truth with the words: “Truly, truly, I say to you...” He speaks about slavery. There is physical slavery and spiritual or mental slavery. One can be a physical slave and yet free of sin, and on the other hand, one can decide about life and death and yet be a slave of sin. There are light sins which we commit in daily life but there are also sins which make man a slave. Many people are slaves of alcohol, drugs or various forms of impurity. Slaves of pride, hatred, revenge, thievery, cynicism. Slaves cannot make themselves free. Jesus gives us true freedom: “If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”

The EU planned compulsory microchipping of children this year and microchipping of adults in 2017! The plan has been put off until a later time. What does the Word of God say about chipping?



Art. 2358 – A dictatorship of tolerance in the Catechism of the Catholic Church

Post date:   2014-03-22
Autor:   BCP
“The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible.” This statement is not taken from pro-homosexual mass media in the USA or Europe, or from manipulative surveys of attitudes toward homosexuality. These are the opening words of Art. 2358 of the latest version of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1992). Concerning the issue of homosexuality, the Catechism of the Catholic Church is implicitly heretical owing to the above-mentioned Article.



The danger of the approval of the Rome Statute

Post date:   2014-03-22
Autor:   BCP
The approval of the Rome Statute would lead to the persecution of Christians, pose a threat to the family and gradually pave the way for the legalization of various forms of sexual perversion. The signing of the Rome Statute would mean subordination of Ukraine to the International Criminal Court. It would mean that Christians, when judged by the new international standards, would be treated as homophobes, i.e. people who allegedly discriminate against and persecute LGBT persons.



Pastoral letter for the Catholic Church

Post date:   2014-03-19

We live in historic times when every priest and believer is subjected to a severe test of fidelity to orthodox doctrine and when every believer is obliged to obey God rather than the hierarchy who betrayed God and the Gospel. The present-day hierarchy has the same spirit as the hierarchy at the time of Christ. They declared themselves to be representatives of God, but they crucified God Incarnate. And we can see the same today. Jesus says: “Repent, and believe in the Gospel.” (Mk 1:15) “Unless you repent, you will all perish.” (Lk 13:3)



Reflection on Jn 7:38-39

Rivers of living water will flow out of the hearts of those who have received the fullness of the Holy Spirit. But the first condition is to believe in Christ. It is said here that the Holy Spirit was not yet given in fullness because Jesus had not yet accomplished the work of salvation. He did so when He died for our sins on Calvary, rose from the dead on the third day and ascended into heaven on the fourtieth day.



Motivation for the Lenten period

In the Lenten period, bear in mind the basic realities: You shall die. You shall stand before the judgment seat of God. Your eternity will either be happy or unhappy. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, suffered and died for your sake to give you eternal happiness after death. Your impurity made Him suffer bloody scourging, your pride made Him suffer humiliation when He was crowned with thorns and covered with spittle. Your devious sinful paths made Him walk the way of the cross. The death of Christ conquered sin and the devil and opened for you the way to eternal glory.



Lent

Every year at the end of the Great Lent we commemorate the death and resurrection of Christ. The Lenten period is the time of preparation when we need to stop and devote more time to God and our soul. Jesus said about the liberation of man from the evil spirit: “This kind of demon does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” (Mt 17)



Eurointegration – the end of Christianity

On 4 February 2014, the European Parliament adopted a resolution for the legal recognition of a third gender, which has two categories: transgender and intersex. The state authorities are obliged to recognize this so-called third gender in the personal documents of such people. An aggressive transgender propaganda campaign is carried on in the mass media, in education and in all spheres of society. Transgenderism begins with phrases like tolerance and ends with a brutal dictatorship over the overwhelming majority.If Ukraine chooses to enter the EU, it automatically accepts the perversion of homosexuality and transsexuality, and declares the destruction of Christianity.



A call for repentance to USA

The current political government of the United States destroys humanity by elevating homosexuality as a priority. It is associated with gender ideology and so-called reproductive health global programs resulting in a catastrophic demographic decline and civilizational diseases, including the abuse of children from early childhood through so-called sexual education. USA also provokes conflicts and organizes bloody revolutions around the world.How can the Christians of America stop the satanization and genocide of humanity initiated by the U.S. government? First of all, it is necessary to repent of betrayal of God’s laws, which allowed the establishment of an evil satanic government.



Reflection on Jn 6:54-56

Chapter six of the Gospel of John describes the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves, when Jesus fed five thousand people. Then Jesus departed to a deserted place by Himself and prayed there. The Apostles went over the sea in a boat and Jesus was walking on the sea. On the next day, the people who had eaten of the loaves and been filled came to Jesus and He spoke about the bread from heaven. He said: “I am the bread which came down from heaven.” And then: “I am the living bread. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. If any man eats of this bread, he shall not die.” He also said (v.53): “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.”



Canonization of a heretical Pope

At the time when USA and the EU have elevated gender homosexuality and the stealing and devastation of children as a priority of their policy, the Vatican makes a mockery of Christianity and all humanity by being hypocritically silent on these crimes and thus de facto approving them. The tragedy is that instead of taking a resolute stand the Vatican canonizes an apostate Pope who paved the way for mass apostasy in the Church and satanization of the nations in Catholic territory.



Reflection on Jn 5:24

Post date:   2014-02-15
Autor:   BCP
Whenever Jesus meant to emphasize a certain important truth, he introduced it with the words: “Amen, amen, I say to you”, or “Truly, truly, I say to you”. It is similar to the words of a judge claiming authority when he delivers a verdict on behalf of the nation. What important truth concerning each of us is Jesus going to say? He speaks about eternal life, death and judgment. These are very serious things, existential and unavoidable. The first truth relates to the present time and eternal life. Jesus says: “has eternal life”. The second truth relates to the future: “shall not come into judgment”. And the third truth relates to the past: “has passed from death into life”.



A reply to the Archbishop of Philadelphia regarding EuroMaidan

Your Excellency, You have written an appeal to the U.S. Government to punish the Ukrainian Government for alleged crimes on the EuroMaidan.You hypocritically call for prayers for the Church in Ukraine. The leaders of this Church, Card. Husar and Msgr. Shevchuk, exploit the common faithful of the UGCC as a live shield on the Maidan. The power behind them is trained foreign terrorists who are seeking to overthrow the Government by means of the so-called U.S. revolutionary technologies. The overthrow of the Government would bring about: 1) the loss of independence of Ukraine; 2) economic collapse; 3) legalization of gender homosexual perversion and mass child stealing; 4) destruction of true Christianity.

Due to unlawful interference of the EU and USA in the internal affairs of Ukraine, Ukraine has found itself on the brink of civil war. Only thanks to the prayers of the faithful God does not allow this war. The U.S. have financed and organized extremist attacks of radicals, given both financial and political support to the EuroMaidan, sent extremist groups to Ukraine, etc. We appeal to you: Leave Ukraine and stop your criminal activity which is associated with the manipulation of politicians by bribery.Christ Himself speaks these words to you through us today: “Unless you repent, you will all perish!”



An appeal to the Italian MPs and nation: Stop the heaviest crimes against children and the nation!

In 2013, the Italian government removed the use of the words ‘father’ and ‘mother’ from official state documents, thus manifesting its anti-family policy. Today, the Italian government takes a step forward and outlaws any sober-minded father or mother by its attempt to legalize paedophilia as normal sexual orientation. On 24 January 2014, Members of the Italian Senate proposed amendments to the laws № 654 (from 13/10/1975) and № 122 (from 26/04/1993). The amendments define 13 kinds of phobia, including so-called paedophobia which de facto legitimizes paedophilia. On the basis of these amendments, normal people are turned into criminals and criminals into a gender caste protected by the State.



An appeal for forgiveness (+ video)

On 4 February 2014, the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate and the Bishops’ Synod of the UO GCC called for prayer mobilization. Today they call for forgiveness.These days, God wants to raise Ukraine to life through repentance! The condition of repentance is to renounce the spirit of the EuroMaidan. To renounce the spirit of hatred and unforgivingness in relation to the Russian-speaking population of Ukraine and the Russian nation. Similarly, eastern Ukrainians must renounce the spirit of hatred and unwillingness to forgive in relation to Galicians. Only through repentance and forgiveness will God save the Ukrainian nation from a civil war, the loss of independence and planned autogenocide!
