The addressing happened at a Roman-Catholic institution, in the presence of some 80 educators. The method used, in this \u201cpublic relation\u201d business, is simple and complex in the same time. It is simple, because everything done aimed to destroy one\u2019s faith through blatant assertions, and it was complex because this attack was carried with knowledge about historical facts and in a much distorted manner, and also according to demonic stimulations.<br \/>\nToday\u2019s audience is already found on the path of \u201caccepting\u201d everything, especially if the event happens in a civilized place, with coffee, food and followed by all that \u201cacademic\u201d discussion. The Intelligentsia of today is very weak and ready to embrace everybody else, with \u201clooooove\u201d. On the other hand, the \u201cprecious style\u201d and \u201chumour\u201d used by a PhD would be highly regarded, in spite of the illiterate substance. Also, this Intelligentsia as a public, became just formally religious and is quick to adjust to the \u201cnew\u201d. So, the new \u201cnew\u201d came to them, in the form of an \u201cacademic\u201d Zionist.<br \/>\nMost of this so-called theologian\u2019s discourse was swollen with unstoppable and long phrases of hateful proposals. It would be useful to show these anti-Christian schemes, in a dot-point arrangement, with a propaganda developing as such:<br \/>\n\u2022\tBy choosing some \u201cgenre\u201d (such as Parables) and making comparisons with contemporary situations of our modern life that resulted into a wishful devastation of a Holy Symbol, therefore the real meaning of that parable would be transformed into ordinary events, soaked in pornographic explanations<br \/>\n\u2022\tBy opting for specific passages which became conveniences for hidden reasons, catching people\u2019s attention with some \u201cacademic\u201d jokes,  presenting the \u201cgood\u201d method to fight anti-Semitism by \u201cseparating the Jewish Scripture\u201d from the Old Testament (!)<br \/>\n\u2022\tBy having fun of Sacred things and of the Church; the Gospels would not be the \u201doriginal\u201d ones (they were \u201dre-written\u201d), \u201cunderlying\u201d the superiority of the written texts vs. the oral tradition, encouraging \u201clove\u201d as the middle ground for everything, as the \u201cHebrew scripture\u201d is the same as taught by the Protestants<br \/>\n\u2022\tIn a clear \u201cpromotion\u201d for a material understanding of the Bible and for a \u201cfunny\u201d and a wicked approach to the Sacred Texts, the \u201ctheologian\u201d mentioned: \u201cSamson was a horrible character\u201d, the Father of the Prodigal Son was the \u201cinept sheppard\u201d open to \u201cparental favouritism\u201d towards one of sons \u201cfrom a different mother\u201d, Righteous Isaac \u201cwas suffering of the Dow Syndrome\u201d, the real name of Saint Apostle Peter was \u201cRocky\u201d, etc. The Talmudic \u201cteaching\u201d, with blasphemous utterings against Christians, was just growing with some latest gross and sacrilegious ideas&#8230;<br \/>\n\u2022\tThe same irreverent series of \u201cdiscussions\u201d about Jesus Christ Who is our God and Saviour, as found in the Talmud: \u201cless than Superman, as not having the possibility to see through with X-rays\u201d, one \u201cwould have dated Him but He was too edgy\u201d, \u201dHe was laughing all the time\u201d, \u201cHe was chubby because He was eating a lot, on all occasions\u201d and finally, Jesus Christ \u201cjust a smart man, saying smart things\u201d. This guest \u201cspeaker\u201d, with the highest academic rank in Western \u201ctheology\u201d, looked to be very desperate with such attempts to convince the \u201ccatholics\u201d about \u201chow much they have in common, if love each other\u201d&#8230;<br \/>\n\u2022\tLoving multiculturalism (as \u201cfound in many biblical places\u201d); \u201cwe learn from Buddhists and Muslims because we might become dependent on them, with housing and food\u201d; any individual must \u201cuse own mind to do the interpretation of the Bible\u201d because (dreadful!) \u201cTrinitarian\u201d apparitions would be compared with the \u201cThree Little Pigs\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022\tIf \u201cThora is like the New Testament\u201d and the \u2018Talmud would be like the writings of the Holy Fathers\u2019 (according to our \u201cfar-above-the-ground-theologian\u201d), then the inspiration for such horrible writings comes from the Liar and the Father of Lie, that is the Devil who will try to imitate Christ, through the coming of the anti-Christ<br \/>\nIt is more than enough for any Orthodox reader to know about these hideous attacks, under the \u201cprotection\u201d of a \u201ccatholic\u201d administration. It is interesting to note that such details were NOT understood (?) by the Roman-Catholic public, because the trust into own people, who invited that person, would be higher regarded than a lie whispered into ear&#8230;<br \/>\nHowever, why nobody reacted to such unashamed attack? The answer is simple: out of fear! Now, after the event, one might think that a different attitude should have been taken in regards to the aggression: with calm and a civilized and balanced manner one could have asked the \u201ctheologian\u201d to explain&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the extent to which the Christianity of the west has far gone into heresy &#8211; accepting anyone to come to preach to their gatherings, and even listening to aberrations like those described below without a single reaction &#8230; From well trusted sources, we can present some of the tricks that an alleged theologian [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/orthodoxaustralia.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/orthodoxaustralia.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/orthodoxaustralia.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/orthodoxaustralia.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/orthodoxaustralia.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=639"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/orthodoxaustralia.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/orthodoxaustralia.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/orthodoxaustralia.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=639"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/orthodoxaustralia.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
