A letter to the Christians of Germany

                             

Dear Catholic believers as well as members of the Lutheran and other Christian Churches,

we, the Bishops’ Synod of the Ukrainian orthodox Greek-Catholic Church (UOGCC), are turning to You in these historic hours. We are living in a time of mass apostasy from Christ and from the Church. This apostasy has its roots in the past. Predominantly the German nation is responsible for many crimes and heresies which have prepared the current atmosphere. Atheism and indirectly even Satanism flourished at the German universities as early as the 19th century. Some German philosophers presented models of a reform of the society based on false life principles. When these principles were carried out into practice, they resulted in great tragedies for all humankind. Marxism and Fascism account for millions of victims. In the first half of the last century the field of theology was greatly influenced by Rudolf Bultmann. Behind his theology is practically the spirit of atheism which denies living and true Christianity, the supernatural as well as the Divine inspiration of the Scripture.

 

A great shock was a statement of the President of the German Bishops’ Conference, R. Zollitsch, who said that Christ did not die for our sins but only out of solidarity with the suffering. This is a heresy which denies the essence of whole Christianity. That was why our Bishops’ Synod asked all German bishops in writing whether they are in unity with Zollitsch and with the spirit which is behind him or whether they profess true Christianity. We sent them seven questions which every Christian, be it a Catholic or a non-Catholic, should answer without hesitation, otherwise one would cease to be a Christian.

 

1)      Do you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for us, that means even for you and for your sins, and on the third day He rose again historically and really?

Answer:

 

2)      Do you believe that there is salvation in no one else, only in Jesus Christ?

Answer:

 

3)      Do you consider homosexual activity an abomination and deadly sin?

Answer:

 

4)      Do you renounce historical-critical theology (HCT) and the spirit which is behind it?

Answer:

 

5)      Do you renounce the spirit of syncretism with paganism, the spirit of relativism and false interpretation of the Nostra aetate declaration as well as the so-called spirit of Assisi?

Answer:

 

6)      Do you renounce Satan and demons, especially those which nowadays work through different covert forms of magic and divination (homoeopathy, acupuncture, hypnosis, divination by pendulum or dowsing rod) and through the spirit of New Age?

Answer:

 

7)      Do you renounce the spirit working through Freemasons, through the Rotary or the Lions Club?

Answer:

Sad to say, none of the German bishops confessed the true and biblical faith and none of them renounced heresies. On 26th July 2009, the Bishops of Germany thus excommunicated themselves from the Church according to Gal 1:8-9. Our Synod just publicly announced this overt apostasy and anathema. Though these bishops continue in their posts, they administer the sacraments invalidly, i.e. celebrate the Mass invalidly, ordain priests invalidly... No Catholic is obliged to obey these apostates any more. What is the solution in this situation? The faithful genuine Catholics should join together, become conscious of this reality and exert psychological pressure upon the apostate bishops so that they resign their offices. At the same time, these Catholics together with the remaining handful of true-Catholic priests should choose such candidates for bishops who dissociate themselves from the contemporary heresies and from the spirit of apostasy and are able to carry out a true reform of the Catholic Church in Germany. After that, they should ask the Holy Father Benedict XVI to consecrate these candidates by himself. Without this step the process of the internal decay of the Church will automatically continue.

 

Concerning non-Catholic believers of Germany, the process of apostasy from the biblical and saving faith can be seen even among them. All non-Catholic believers, Lutherans and others, should likewise choose such people for the key posts who will help to carry out a spiritual reform of their Church.

 

This year Germany organized so-called Ecumenical Kirchentag in Munich, which, among other things, involved also propagation and normalization of homosexual perversion.

 

20 people died and about 500 were injured at a gay pride coupled with a techno party in Duisburg this year.

 

Over one million people, who have already lost the sense of moral values, were in attendance at a big gay pride which took place in Berlin this year as well.

 

This year Germany has been struck by floods and only recently by a tornado. Of course, the Church hierarchy does not view it as God’s warning or a call to repentance, the less so as God’s punishment. In their view, God blesses all, even sins, crimes and perversities. But the question is what kind of a god it is.

 

We have to point out that such Christianity is dead Christianity and no Christian can be saved unless he starts to repent in earnest! The fruit of the hierarchy accepting the spirit of apostasy was first spiritual blindness and subsequently a curse on the Church as well as on the entire nation. If Christianity was truly biblical and living and Christians were true witnesses, Mrs Merkel would never manage to cunningly enforce the Lisbon Treaty which is a crime against humanity. Its central point is no economy but a perverted ideology leading to moral, spiritual and physical genocide not only of Germany but of all Europe. Apart from that, conscious Christians would never allow such a person to be a leader of their nation. Unfortunately, the German nation learned its lesson neither in the time of the demagogue Hitler nor today. Germany has become a curse for Europe and is under God’s anathema because the hierarchy has abandoned God’s laws and true biblical principles without which Christianity and salvation are impossible!

 

Pious rhetoric, heretical erudition and pride pave the way to hell!

 

Who is to blame for the gas chambers and the holocaust is the German ideology founded on ungodly principles. However, the ideology of the Lisbon Treaty enforced by Mrs Merkel, a daughter of a Lutheran pastor, is even worse than fascism, gas chambers and the holocaust as it establishes a homodictatorship bringing down a curse on the entire nations.

 

Mrs Merkel should be punished in the same way as the fascist criminals in Nuremberg for crimes against humanity.

 

Dear sincere Christians of Germany, we do not blame You for this sad heritage of the German nation. This nation also has a great missionary Reinhard Bonnke as well as the present Pope Benedict XVI. We just state that the Catholic hierarchy along with Mrs Merkel are excommunicated from the Mystical Body of Christ – the Church – and are under God’s curse, and this curse thus falls on the whole German nation. It is shameful that Merkel is a member of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). From this it follows that this party has nothing in common with Christianity any more.

 

From God’s perspective, You can no longer view as authority either the Church representatives who have betrayed Christ’s Gospel or Mrs Merkel who promotes antivalues denying God’s laws and the essence of the Gospel. She is worse than an open atheist or Satanist. Why? Because she sets perversion as a norm and legalizes it, whereby she binds defenceless people and forces them to fully accept the perversion of homosexuality or else they will be punished by law.

 

Dear Christians, realize that the sense of life is not consumerism or hedonism dressed in Christian phrases. Unless Germany repents, then physical punishment will be just a sign of great mercy of God. For this is an extremely serious thing. It decides whether one will or will not be eternally condemned! We repeat: eternally! Making light of this serious reality is really a crime against those who could be converted, repent and be saved.

 

Jesus’ words “unless you repent, you shall perish” concern every Christian in Germany. Indeed, broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it (cf. Mt 7:13). The first Jesus’ words were: “Repent (change your minds), and believe in the Gospel.” This applies even to You. You have to change Your minds and believe not some apostatical authorities but in the Gospel (cf. Mk 1:15). The German nation has grown into a wild fig-tree which bears no fruit of repentance. God’s Word says: “Spare it this year, and then You can cut it down” (cf. Lk 13:8-9).

 

When God wanted to reduce Sodom to ashes, the last words were: “If ten righteous are found there, I will not destroy it for the sake of ten.” (Gen 18:32) God is searching for these righteous even among You, dear Christians.

 

Abraham was really a God’s man of prayer, and so was also Moses who held up his hands and called unto God for the sake of the people.

 

You ask what You are to do? Jesus Himself gives You the answer: “Repent (change your minds), and believe in the Gospel.” “Whoever would save his life (soul) will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the Gospel’s will save it.” (Mk 8:35) This is the essence and foundation of whole Christianity. All kinds of so-called scholarly theologies are mere packs of pious phrases behind which is the spirit of the world and apostasy.

 

Concretely: Form prayer groups that will call on God continually throughout the year. Every member of the group will pray one hour of the day (24 members). Four groups will divide four weeks of the month among themselves and take turns in this so-called prayer guard. There can also be another form of dividing the prayer time.

 

Volunteers may fast on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for 24 hours, i.e. from supper to supper. The best form is not to eat or drink anything.

 

Celebration of Sunday: Besides the Sunday Mass, small communities should gather together either on Saturday evening or in the early hours of Sunday morning and devote at least two hours to prayer only. On Sunday, this small community should also give some time to God’s Word, yet not in the spirit of the historical-critical theology but in the Holy Spirit who is the Author of the Holy Scripture.

 

This all – prayer, the apostles’ teaching and the breaking of bread (the Eucharist) – should be the foundation of fellowship where members of the groups would encourage each other and discuss how to be true Christ’s witnesses (martyres) at the present time, how to perform a true mission, true apologetics and, above all, how to deny oneself and follow our Lord and Saviour in truth. Here they should also seek the light how to defend oneself against the pressure of antivalues and how to protect one’s children from demoralization propagated by the Lisbon Treaty and by the apostates – who inwardly fell away from Christianity. These four principles 1) liturgy, 2) the apostles’ teaching, 3) prayers and 4) fellowship were the foundation of the Church in Jerusalem. This Church has remained a model and an ideal for all times (cf. Act 2:42).

 

Every Christian should receive Jesus as one’s personal Saviour and Lord, renounce the spirit of the world and receive the Holy Spirit in fullness. One must also renounce all forms of divination, magic and spiritism as well as sympathy for pagan religions which open the soul to demons. Every converted Christian must likewise break with modern heretical theology founded on the historical-critical method and on the spirit of atheism which is behind it. This theology will not save anyone; on the contrary it is a safe way to hell.

 

Dear Christians of Germany, we do believe that there will be such men of prayer among You like Abraham, as well as true witnesses of Christ (martyres) – martyrs who will be ready even to sacrifice their lives for the sake of Christ! These days a serious thing is being decided, which concerns not only Germany but also all Europe and all the earth. You will choose either Christ or antichrist! You will accept either God and His laws or Satan and his antilaws. The former is a way to eternal life, the latter to eternal perdition! There is no middle way! “No one can serve two masters.” (Mt 6:24)

 

May God find His true prophets, apostles, evangelists and true witnesses and martyrs in the German nation. May He have mercy, so that instead of a curse, which Germany brings down upon all Europe, a blessing may flow through Germany!

 

Bestowing our blessing upon You,

            Bishops of the Ukrainian orthodox Greek-Catholic Church (UOGCC)
