[Paphitis]

My prediction of what’s to come…

God eventually comes down to Earth to claim his people and all the Israelis are out on the streets with their hands in the air waiting for deliverance, confident that their moment of glory has finally arrived when all of a sudden you hear God’s voice...

“Nah, not you pieces of criminal shit... I’ve come to deliver the Palestinians from the misery you impose on them... THOSE are my people!”

That I predict, will be the Israeli's demise…

The Bible as I said is a Book of Parables or the Word of God spoken in very elaborate parables. It’s not an easy book to understand. I have an Orthodox Study Bible which has notes at the bottom explaining each parable. It’s a very complex book and very cryptic and without the notes or the official explainations, it could be open to interpretation.

But it is also very explicit. There is no doubt that the Israelites are His chosen people. The rest were pagans and at one point He even consumed them to make room for the Israelites in Caan.

Now, during the time of Christ, only a few followed Him. Most did not and in fact they betrayed Him and crucified Him. But that was the prophecy that had to be fulfilled too in order for God to take away fallen Man’s eternal sin which dates back to Adam and Eve.

Now, the Church was formed far earlier and adhered to by the Israelites but 10 Tribes became lost. After the crucifixion, the body of the Church became Christianity. Cryptically, Israel is the Church body. The Bible is very clear about this. The Israelites are those within the Body of this Church who worship, God, the Son and Holy Spirit as one essence and who abide by the Book’s Laws. There are 10 Commandments and 613 Hebrew Laws which was only for the Jews but it applies to all of us, except the one on circumcission after the crucifixion and the one about the Sabath being a day of rest. Israel’s penal code is based exactly on these laws even to this day.

Now, the Church is Orthodoxy. There is no question about that. It is the only remaining Apostolic Church that goes back to the 11 Disciples as it’s Fathers. Catholic Church and everyone else split from Israel (Orthodox Church) in 1054AD.

So now, Israel is OPEN to the Gentiles. It’s open to everyone who becomes part of the Body which is the Church (Orthodoxy).

Therefore, according to the Book, you are one of His Chosen ones because you are Orthodox or a part of the Body which is in fact Israel and the Promised Land which is Heaven. That is one interpretation according to the Orthodox. I find the Orthodox interpretation most feasible because they are the only Church remaining with a direct link to Christ and the Disciples. It is the only real Apostolic Faith. The others only falsely claim it. You are an Icon created in His image.

So Get Real! You are an Israelite. You are one of His Chosen ones and will probably inherit the Promised Land.

Which means is Atheists and whoever hasn’t converted to the Body (Orthodoxy) are stuffed!

Now this all sounds far fetched but about 30% of Jews are Crypto Christians. The question is what kind? Well the vast majority of them are accepting Orthodoxy. More and more of them are coming to the understanding that Orthodoxy is their Israel and is the Body which will inherit the Promised Land which is yet to come.

So congratulations Get Real. You are an Israelite now just like Varnavas!

[Get Real!]

Sorry Paphitis, but I cannot think of anything more loathsome on this planet than Jewish-American criminals... it's like Satan had a severe case of diarrhea and out they came!

I can’t think of anything more loathsome of everyone prancing around not telling it the way it is so as to not cause offence.

I am warming to Trump more and more.

In a few more years Get Real, you know what the PC do gooders are gonna be saying and it won’t be in our favour and I don’t want to say it on the internet. Happy to tell you face to face though.

For as long as people continue to follow , blindly I might say,
the man created mythological creator, there will always be hatred, division and brutality. Irrespective of which religion people follow they, the people, will for ever be slaves to a mythological absurdity created in the stone age.
Let there be light!! Let there be 3 million plus insects, some deadly, let there be poisonous snakes, let there be viruses and let the naive who have not one iota of logic follow this dark age mythology.

The way things are heading ....... the human race will soon cease to exist! Then we will see who was right.

Paphitis: From skilled military strategist and dillutioned pseudo 'Commander' of the coalition forces in Syria/Iraq ...... to a Bible thumping evangelist and informed Theologist in just a few months, takes some beating. Your Theological predictions will turn out to be as accurate as you military predictions for Syria.

I would have to disagree.

I do not believe in a creator right now and I do call myself Atheistic but perhaps it is better to call myself Agnostic - in other words I really don't know. I believe there is no creator but am open to the small possibility that there might be.

Now religion, on the whole is indeed a force for the good. It gets a lot of bad press, but let's face it. The Sectarian violence we see in the Middle east always seems to be the exclusive domain of adherents to the Islamic faith. And it is a tiny fraction of the population. All remainder of religions are in the most part quite peaceful and whilst there are some disgusting cults and Evangelists out there, sensible religions do a lot and achieve a lot of good will for people and provide a lot of solace to people that need it. Cypriots are very lucky to have a very bueatiful religion in Orthodoxy, much like the Greeks, Russians, Serbs, Ukrainians, Romanians, Bulgarians, Lithuanians and Latvians. It is a great religion.

As for the insects and snakes. You got to see the beauty of all living creatures and each one serves a purpose in the echo-system right down to the filthy maggot and blow fly. Spiders serve a purpose. Frogs serve a purpose. Everything has a purpose. Take spiders out, and then we are inundated with flies and insects as well as mosquitoes and diseases such as Ross River, and Malaria.

So don't knock spiders. They are like the cops keeping the insect population in check. I get angry when people start killing them for no reason. Even snakes such as the most venomous Tiger Snake has its place in the Eco-syetm. And they won't bite you unless you virtually step on it or disturb it and it will only bite in self defence. You then got about
minutes of life.

The entire eco-system is so delicately balanced that it is a miracle in itself.

[Paphitis]

The other thing is, religion is like a beacon or a light house for aircraft in the night or the ships at sea.

Especially now with all the university left wingers and so called progressives taking over with their utter stupidities and nonsense.

As a social conservative (traditionalist), if the Church's defend good old fashion discipline and respect for the institutions, then I am on their side 100% In Australia. Families are paying $50,000 per annum enrolling their children in the most expensive Christian Schools (Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican and Orthodox). People are taking out huge mortgages because they don't trust the Government and its social engineering projects anymore. People are opting for home schooling too. Parents are being threatened by a Government that states it will take their children under its own care and then foster them out if you are deemed unfit. This is not a democratic Government. This is Nazism.

The Social Justice Warriors have gone absolute bonkers with their virtue signalling. Which is why Trump is good thing. If I could vote, I would cast it in his favour now 100%. I'm on the Trump bandwagon.

Trump is the most sensible thing that has happened in a long time. Hollywood privilege, and all the SJW's and university tree huggers can stick it.

Now that I can agree with! But it has sod all to do with religion ............ unless you believe the story of Adam and Eve as fact.

You still have not explained how Zionism fits in with your theories when related to the whole point of the thread, the Trump announcement that the US acknowledges Jerusalem as the undivided capital city of the Zionist State of Israel?

[Paphitis]

My favorite Zionist of all time:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Monash

And top bloke. And if he called himself a Jew and Israelite, then I have a tendency to believe this man as he has integrity, loyalty and courage and led his troops with dignity and with total respect for their lives. Any country would be proud t call this man their own.

This was the Field Marshal that defeated Germany in WW1. Most people think it was the Brits or the Americans but it wasn't. It was this Australian Zionist who was the commander of the Australians, and all allies including British Forces, French Forces, US Forces, Canadians and Kiwis.

That just goes to prove that Zionists were just an influential and politically motivated group of powerful elites which had as their aim the creation of Israel.

And with the likes of General Monash, you can see WHY they were successful in the creation of Israel.

We Cypriots should observe and learn. OBSERVE AND LEARN!

It only takes about $100 million USD to have a more powerful lobby then Israel and Turkey does. It might sound like a bit of money but it isn't, and the investment will probably pay for itself many times over.

have you noticed how Erdogan and Turkey is getting more hostile towards Israel? It's been a steady decline ever since the boarding of a Turkish Ship in the East Mediterranean by the Israelis when the Turks violently attacked the Israeli soldiers on a routine boarding. The best thing that can happen is a war. Erdogan needs to put his money where his mouth is.

This is good for us Get Real. It's real good for Cyprus. now the Israelis are steadily getting closer and closer to Greece and Cyprus as it drifts further away from Turkey.

that can only bring Cyprus closer to the real world mate. Closer to NATO, closer to USA, closer to Britain, Closer to France, closer to Australia, and so on and so on.

Geopolitics are changing mate. Its a slow process but only just a few years ago no one would have predicted this.

And long may it continue. may Turkey drift further and further into the abyss with Russia while Cyprus builds bridges with the West. Now, the Israelis are going to build a huge gas Pipeline through the Cyprus and Greek EEZ.

Turkey is satan mate. The Israelis actually have common sense and decency. Turkey is the problem not Israel. Israel is just trying to survive in a rough neighborhood that's all. Israel is only about 10,000 sq kms mate or about 3 times the size of Cyprus. That's it and yet most of you behave as if it is stealing heaps of land when there are Australian Farms larger the the Nation of Israel!
