You know I am not a specialist in preaching I had read Bible some times. I never will claim to find truth in religion that my preacher is right and yours is wrong as if it a science with the logic tools, so for me it is just a talk of intelligent people. What is about preachers, I've never understood how it possible that there is a bunch of popular famous preachers which make money, use drugs and sleep with the prostitutes. The situation is quite different here in Russia about this. We have the saints and olders which are going through years of obedience, prayer and fasting and only after if there is God will they become good preachers. We have the workers at church but they have to finish some church school if I am right to tell about. It not means that I don't believe in a miracle it is more like the miracle of this young millitary guy is not believing in me.
"In the Bible he says "Gog and Magog" refer to Russia, or at least "Gog" does, and Gog is supposed to attack Israel in the latter days. "
Did you read Orthodox prediction which I'd tried to translate? You know the prediction is a difficult question. Our church is telling that it is a not good thing to speculate about them for the Christians and I can understand why. Our expectations can provoke the events. So, the Jews are telling about Christian predictions as they like to. Just day ago I had spoke about it with Muslim that they have the same as we Christian predictions but with one small difference - they will win in the great apocalypse war. So, it is not good and not bad, we just have different views...
When I say he is a good Christian preacher, I mean he is not like the hypocrites you describe when you say: "What is about preachers, I've never understood how it possible that there is a bunch of popular famous preachers which make money, use drugs and sleep with the prostitutes". I mean also he does not lie about the Bible which many of them do.
Jesus said this kind of person would be plenty, many of them liars and trying to take advantage of people. The "problem in the USA that we have so many of them is that we have religious freedom. In Russia for many years they did not allow much religious activity, so it could only survive in secret. So they could not take unfair advantage of the freedom.
If there is someone who is like you describe, the liars, the thieves, hypocrites, sexually immoral, I do not listen to them, wearing designer clothes, owning million dollar jets and having other luxuries, I stay away from them.
St. Paul said: "But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people."
So if someone is like that, I would only post a link if I made it clear that they are not telling the truth, I would say, here is this hypocrite who says this and that, I wish they would shut up.
But when I post what I am listening to or watching or reading, if I find it is good. As far as any Christian matter.
"St. Paul said: "But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people."
I think everybody around me could be part of this words, even myself is sometimes greedy but I am working on it, yes I am working on it step by step and all my sins will fade away some day...
