The following report is from Reuters:
Russia’s powerful Orthodox Church admonished people refusing to be vaccinated against COVID-19, calling them sinners who would have to atone for the rest of their lives, as the country reported another jump in new infections and deaths.
The church urged all its faithful to be inoculated as another 24,353 new COVID-19 cases were registered on Monday, including 6,557 in Moscow, taking the official national tally since the pandemic began to 5,635,294.
The government coronavirus task force said 654 people had died of coronavirus-linked causes in the past 24 hours, pushing the national death toll to 138,579.
The federal statistics agency has kept a separate count and has said Russia recorded around 270,000 deaths related to COVID-19 from April 2020 to April 2021.
Speaking on state television, Metropolitan Hilarion, head of the Moscow Patriarchate’s department for external church relations, said those refusing to vaccinate were committing
– A sin for which they will have to atone throughout their lives.
I see situations every day where people visit a priest in order to confess that they had refused to vaccinate themselves or their close ones and unwillingly caused someone’s death.
…The sin is thinking of oneself but not of another person.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[6] For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. [7] For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. [8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. [9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. [10] For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. [11] And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.Romans 5:6-11
Vaccines aside for just a moment, the Orthodox religious systems – Greek, Russian, Coptic (Egyptian) – are just spinoffs of Roman Catholicism, who thought they could do religion better, just like the early Protestant reformers. This is why the Orthodoxy practices are very similar to Rome’s. The Orthodox “churches” have been in bed with the Vatican with their ecumenical movements for a very longtime now. All these groups reject the finished work and his blood atonement for sins on the cross, hence, why refusing their vaccine is classified as a sin that they the people must atone for.
Russia is using their own shot, unassociated with the Western ones and the one by Novavax. Their vaccine is called “Sputnik V.” It is a vector shot similar to the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson jab.
Russia is having a problem, like all other nations, where the people do not want to be vaccinated. So now the sacrilegious Pharisees, Sadducees, and Scribes for Russia (who are deeply in bed with the government and the Vatican) have to start condemning its own congregations. So much for ‘feeding the flock.’
It’s rather interesting that what this hireling said is identical to what Rick Warren and devout catholic Francis Collins of the NIH said – that you are thinking of yourself for not getting vaccinated, and you therefore are breaking Jesus’ commandment to loves others. Sounds like they are all reading the same script.
Rick Warren, Francis Collins, And The WEF
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Hey Brother Jacob, I found an interesting video from a Canadian doctor who got fired for speaking out against the vaccines. I’m not sure if you already covered it, but here’s the video. It’s about 10 minutes.

You say I am a nut for believing the KJ Bible, while simultaneously believing you are an ape evolved from bacteria, siting on a spaceship made from molten lava, orbiting around a gigantic fireball, that’s 93 million miles away, flying through the universe at infinite speeds?
Interesting.
.\\itch – Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
I like this statement.
Interesting. They’re all hierarchical Babylonian works religions apart from the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ according to the scriptures. And fornication & death cults joined with the state in partnership. That 6-sided cube thing at the UN & 2001: A Space Odyssey, the Kaaba…so much common ground.
Rome & Orthodoxy are still not fully united: they claim to be ‘in dialogue’. Issue is over the details concerning the Godhead/Trinity & nature of Father, Son & Spirit. As usual in those discussions, Tertullian & Augustine of Hippo come up. https://reasonandtheology.com/2019/02/14/the-road-to-unity-the-obstacles-to-full-unity-between-roman-catholics-and-eastern-orthodox-christians/
With Russia, the East & Turks…radical, or non-mystical, Quranic Muslim nations involved in Gog-Magog….presumedly with Rome West & Israel allied when the Lord intervenes, one wonders if that whole trinitarian issue won’t be part of the divide, ending with the most mystical standing so that the counterfeit three-god antichrist thing could be received by all remaining. Even with the renewal of the covenant.
The Three Abrahamic Faith monstrosity is already in the works….though people from all those nations are accounted for in the millennial kingdom. Part of the common ground there is monotheism & those Talmudic who embrace the Noahide Law thing adding Jubilees ….& what is it? Enoch?…. to the Bible can be as vicious as Steven Anderson, Rome’s Inquisitors, Islam’s mullahs and the Eastern despots against ‘lawbreakers’ & heretics breaking the corporate unity.
We shall see.
As for the ‘vaccination’ and the digital reset set-up: Russia is right on board with that already with their big new military center & emphasis on digital & AI. https://www.c4isrnet.com/artificial-intelligence/2021/05/24/a-warning-to-dod-russia-advances-quicker-than-expected-on-ai-battlefield-tech/ Still connected with China, & one would presume behind that, the WEF and Rome manipulating, funding & manipulating that rod to get the pesky free nations out of the . Putin was making quite a big deal out of standing for ‘traditional Christian values’ and family, in connection with the Orthodox. Though they don’t trust the western powers, & go their own way….as with this vaccine. No doubt they gain technology via China & global corporatist deals, the UN etc, even though there is competition & distrust between them & China, too.
They say there is an increase in covid-related deaths. It would be interesting to know how that correlates to their vaccination rate. They may have found a ‘kinder & gentler’ (Bush 2) way of dealing with dissenters than slow starvation & the gulags.
Avro Manhattan & Malachi Martin both wrote on Rome’s political playing with both sides of socialism: fascism & communism. Warren & Drucker fully embraced dialectic philosophy & Satan’s Favorite Philosophy with their ‘communitarian’ merger of the two promoted as the ‘solution’, definitely public-private corporate crony-ism with all the tyranny & corruption that involves. Whited sepulchers and Proverbs 30:20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
Warren was freeing himself up from his normal professional responsibilities last I saw: a UN, WEF ambassadorial position dealing with ‘the crisis’, & perhaps war? Alongside Francis….and now the Orthodox Metropolitans & Patriarchs?
Never a dull moment. May the Lord keep us from every deception. 1 Corinthians 16:22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maran-atha.
Roman Catholicism = Coors Beer
Russian Orthodox = Coors Light Beer
Both are toxic for your health, and one isn’t really any better than the other! 🙂
Ha! That’s a good way to put it, Bryan.
OR, maybe you can say this:
Roman Catholic is Miller
Episcopal is Catholic Lite
Pentecostal is Catholic Zero
Lutheran is Catholic High Life
