To Representatives and Believers of Norway’s Lutheran Church

                        God’s anathema upon the Church of Norway

On 25 September 2007, the Bishops’ Conference of Norway’s Lutheran Church voted six to five to allow gay pastors living in perverted same-sex partnership.

By this resolution they rejected God’s laws and the authority of God the Creator and Supreme Law-giver. They no longer call evil evil, a sin a sin, an abomination an abomination. They exchanged the truth for a lie and turned the Church of God into a synagogue of Satan (Rev 2:9).

The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate, by authority of the apostolic and prophetic office before God and before the Mystical Body of Christ, which is the true Church of Christ, hereby declares before all Christians of the world (Mt 18:18): Norway’s Lutheran anti-Church is no longer the Church of Christ but spiritual Babylon and the harlot of antichrist (Rev 17:1-6). We hereby call upon every member of this Church to be converted, to repent and to go out from that spiritual Babylon (Isa 52:11). The spirit of antichrist cast the Spirit of God out of this Church. All who want to be saved must separate from this anti-Church because it leads the deceived souls to eternal damnation in hell. This anti-Church has become a synagogue of Satan (see Rev 3:9; Rev 2:20-24) and preaches a different gospel. “Even if an angel from heaven should preach any other gospel to you, let him be accursed.” (Gal 1:8-9) By reason of apostasy from the Gospel of God, God cast this curse upon Norway’s Lutheran anti-Church.
