This symbol is used in occult freemasonry, As seen here, Why is it used in the orthodox churches? A little info about this symbol; it represents the all-seeing eye of the Great Architect of the Universe. It is used within Freemasonry to represent the deity neutrally (in whatever form, and by whatever name each member may individually believe in). It is a Rosicrucian conception of God; what is Rosicrucianism? It is an esoteric(occult) order built on the occultism of the ancient past which was/is concealed from the average man, provides insight into nature, the physical universe, and the spiritual realm. The occult focuses on astrology, alchemy, and natural magic(?). Rosicrucianism is specifically based on the Jewish Kabbalah, Hermeticism, alchemy, and mystical Christianity. Mystical Christianity? Christian mysticism refers to the development of mystical practices and theory within Christianity. It has often been connected to mystical theology, especially in the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Christianity (both the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox traditions). “Mysticism" is derived from the Greek μυω, meaning "to conceal", and its derivative μυστικός, mystikos, meaning 'an initiate'. In the Hellenistic world, a "mystikos" was an initiate of a mystery religion. "Mystical" referred to secret religious rituals and use of the word lacked any direct references to the transcendental. In early Christianity the term mystikos referred to three dimensions, which soon became intertwined, namely the biblical, the liturgical and the spiritual or contemplative. The biblical dimension refers to "hidden" or allegorical interpretations of Scriptures. “"hidden" or allegorical interpretations of Scriptures.”? The Bible isn’t a picture book, and there isn’t anything “hidden” about the Bible. God did not hide His word from us. Going by this information we can conclude that orthodoxy is nothing more than a mystery religion. A mystery religion is any religion with an arcanum, or secret wisdom. In a mystery religion, an inner core of beliefs, practices, and the religion's true nature, are revealed only to those who have been initiated into its secrets. Ancient mystery religions of the eastern Mediterranean, for example, generally focused on mythic figures who had descended into Hades and returned or who otherwise exemplified death and rebirth, such as Bacchus, Orpheus, Osiris, and Tammuz. In other words, a mystery religion is a pagan religion. Therefore, orthodoxy is a pagan mystery religion with occult aspirations. Paganism took over the Orthodox Church? The connection between the pre-Christian pagan doctrine of deification and icon/relic worship in Eastern Orthodoxy is obvious. When the pagans took over the Orthodox Church, they brought their belief in apotheosis and their worship of icons/relics with them. The icon worship practiced today in every Orthodox Church was originally practiced by pagans since before the first coming of Christ. Feel free to post any additional information you come across.

Oh my fucking god, everyone except Dktrav88 worships Satan?! Or Pagan gods? Damn, Dktrav will have a lot of space in paradise! PS. According to the Jews and Muslims everyone who believes in the Trinity is a polytheist! Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord Deuteronomy 6:4-9 4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: 5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

DKTrav88 Come on, man! We all know you will go to Heaven. You will be the one of the few in this century. You are right, but the billions of other people are stupid imbeciles, you are the enlightened and chosen one. Why should I ban you? On what basis? Banning you will give me hard time with Jesus in the afterlife. I can't risk it without a reason, and since the rules of this forum are clear I have no reason at all. Do you think just because I disagree I am a devil who tries to hunt you? Damn, then you'll have a huge surprise because I don't give a damn.

MEGA Romeo 2:38 "No shit Sherlock" John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. That's my favourite part from the New Testament. So much ignored by the modern Christians.

Do you think just because I disagree I am a devil who tries to hunt you? Damn, then you'll have a huge surprise because I don't give a damn. Matthew 7:13-14 KJV [13] Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: [14] Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Luke 13:23-24 KJV [23] Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, [24] Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 1 Corinthians 1:21 KJV [21] For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 1 Corinthians 3:19 KJV [19] For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. If you don’t care what I believe then why are you saying anything at all?

Because you keep condemning every other branch of Christianity like you're a prophet. Time to wake you up. You're not. If you're surprised that your attitude pisses me off, then it's your problem - when you started to attack the Roman Catholic Church without a reason by giving shitty arguments you turned my brain to defend it - the same Church I left and I'm generally against. I know how it works.
Then you attacked the Roman Catholics (without even knowing that Catholics are not only Roman), now you attack the Orthodox. Who's next? Too comfortable? No one opposes your views stubbornly by far? Maybe it's time to realize that you're not an Apostle?
I will be honest now. To me, when I read your posts, I see myself when I was still a Catholic who wanted to become a friar. Trying to convince everybody that I'm right and everyone around is wrong. That they will be condemned and suffering in the eternal, metaphoric, fire. I was a teenager back then. I see no difference.

If you'd believe in the Bible you'd not be acting like a guy who has a mission on this world. You're not Saint Barholomew. You are not Saint Peter. You are not Saint Andrew. You are not Saint Matthias. But you behave like you know Jesus more than they did.
I don't have a problem with it. But certainly you have a problem with the fact that people not only disagree with you, but actually dare to disagree with you vocally. And I will keep disagreeing with you anytime I want. It may be rare though, because I don't care much. But don't be surprised as you were few minutes ago, when you started crying about being banned - I'm not going to ban you when you don't break the rules, just like in any other case. Yet you felt something's wrong because someone disagreed, how devastating!

I don't understand why people who dislike each other talk to each other. There's a saying, "If you have nothing good to say to each other then don't say anything at all." This doesn't mean you can't have free speech. Say what you need and ignore the rest of the people. I do this pretty well in life and works quite magically. Some even think I died yay I suggest to try it and become dead to others too.

Not when one side starts bullshitting the whole bunch of other people that "Catholics are going to rot in hell, Orthodoxes are Pagans, Pagans are Orthodoxes, I'm the only one who met Jesus in real life". Then such people must face the response from the others.

But when you start to attack other religions, expect response and don't hide like a pussy behind "I just believe in the Bible".

Eventually they'll realize they're not being heard and they'll stop writing to you. There's 3 people you need to not reply to anymore just saying. Then they'll feel like they're talking to a wall and hopefully stop if not then have a good laugh with me. I laugh a lot at of things xD
