So ever since becoming an Orthodox convert, I more and more realize how much Christianity has been sissied and become so easy to infiltrate our faith and allow other religions (i.e islam) where it has taken advantage of protestant Christianity and non denominations whom think that being a Christian is being peacful. Christ never was this sissy, this peacful man these protestants paint our Lord to be, but He was a fighter. He rebuked even the Pharisees and Saducees and "fought" with them. Orthodoxy has history, has Saints and martyrs, filled with the Holy Spirit and then you have these protestants removing the organism that is the Church and the people who fought for it. In Albania you have these fake christians not knowing the glory of Christ and accepting false ideologies and to strip away the sacrifice thay is Christ. I am angry. I am sad. I am disappointed, in these people whom call themselves Christians and don't fight for Christ. Those are not Christians whom are scared to go out in the street and walk proud and proclaim the name of Christ everywhere they go. Removing traditions and removing the practices of the Church (i.e Prayer rope, praying without ceasing, hymns/psalms etc) PROPER WORSHIP. I encourage you all to go to your Orthodox Church and partake in a mass, talk to a priest or a deacon, ask. See how God is glorified, and understanding how insignificant we are before God. and every celebration that we do, every Saint we ask for intercession is all to the glorification of Christ. Please stop adding your interpretation on Christ because that is simply pride. You claiming to know God better than the very Church with 2000 years of history by the Apostles whom Christ entrusted to spread the Gospel and the good news, all these things we do come from Christ because those practices HELP US REMEMBER CHRIST AND KNOW THAY HE IS ALWAYS WITH US. God bless, peace of Christ be upon you all and; Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.
