In our opinion, John 3:16 is the most grossly mistranslated AND misinterpreted Holy Scripture in history. As I know many of you realize, it's mistranslation/misinterpretation has sadly lead to so many heresies (30,000+ sects of Protestantism, by one conservative estimate).

Most Protestants/Evangelicals affirm that by simply "believing" in Jesus, this guarantees them a ticket to Paradise. What an unfortunate trick the evil one has played on our brothers and sisters with this one.

To understand where they went wrong and what many of them are failing to understand, you have to go back to John 3:7: "Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again." From here the name "Born Again Christians" was spawned. But if you dig a bit deeper, you will see that "born again" is a mistranslation. The original Greek reads "γεννηθῆναι ἄνωθεν" which means "born from above." What does it mean to be "born from above?" The answer to that is just a few lines back in John 3:5: "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." What does it mean to be born of water and of the Spirit? We know this to mean the Holy Sacrament of Orthodox Baptism! So if a "born again Christian" ever asks you if you want to accept Jesus and be "born again," respond that you have already been BORN AGAIN, OF WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT in your Orthodox Baptism!

There are no Sacraments outside of Orthodoxy, regardless of what the shameful ecumenists of our generation say. Now, who God decides to save is entirely His business and not for us to comment on. Nevertheless, we shouldn't downplay the significance and importance of being Baptized of water and of the Spirit in the One True Faith of Christ. We hope and pray that all of our heterodox brothers and sisters one day come to know the fullness of Christ's Church in Holy Orthodoxy. Pretending that their false religion has validity helps them in no way.

Exodus 32:1
And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

Christ the Saviour Cathedral is the mother cathedra or see of the Russian Orthodox Patriarchate, whose current primate is His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and all Russia. The cathedral is located on the north bank of the Moskva River to the immediate southwest of the capital’s Kremlin fortress, where, inside the Dormition Cathedral all Russian tsars and tsarinas have been crowned and anointed. Christ the Saviour is the tallest Orthodox cathedral in the world, standing at 103 metres (338 feet) above the pavement. The main sanctuary (temple) can fit over 10,000 standing worshipers.

On Christmas Day in 1812, Russian Imperial forces drove the last of Napoleon Bonaparte’s Grand Army off of Russian territory — once 600,000 men strong, now a mere 20-30,000 remained. In thanksgiving, His Imperial Majesty Emperor Alexander I  signed a Manifesto ordering the construction of a magnificent Cathedral in honor of Christ the Savior in Moscow as a thanksgiving to God and to honor the victorious Russian army.

And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 5.

When God still wants you to stay alive, nothing and nobody can change that. He can take you out of certain death as many times as He wishes.
I know from experience. He is the most awesome indeed... Praise be to God alone

Exodus 32:8
They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
