In times past, God, without body and form, could in no way be represented. But now, since God has appeared in flesh and lived among men, I can depict that which is visible of God. I do not venerate the matter, but I venerate the Creator of matter, who became matter for me, who condescended to live in matter, and who, through matter, accomplished my salvation; and I do not cease to respect the matter through which my salvation is accomplished.

This life is temporary and filled with various sorrows, and no one can avoid them—only their sorrows may differ. And as the soul is created according to the image and likeness of God, it will nowhere and never find peace and consolation, except in God. If we orient ourselves on the will of God, then sorrows will trouble us only slightly.

Do not put your trust in the Zionists, the Freemasons, the demons, the devils, because they believe in nothing. But we believe in the True God, and whatever it may cost us, we confess Jesus Christ — and Him crucified — and there we place our hope, in the Almighty power of God, nowhere else.

☦️🌟 The Holy Tradition predates the Bible 🌟☦️
The Scripture is a part of the ancient oral tradition. Moses' mother name was Yokheved (derived from YHWH, she's in the picture), that is "God is my glory". It means this God's name was well known long before the first word of the Bible was written.

☦️🌟 An ancient Orthodox church in Mesopotamia. The region, which is now associated with the term "the Church of the East" was indeed Orthodox. For example, the Father of the Church, to whom the basilica is dedicated, St. Yakov, is venerated in Orthodoxy.

☦️🕯️"You must know, my child, that nothing happens without reason or by chance. Everything has its purpose. Not even a pine needle falls from a tree unless God wills it. Therefore, you should not worry about everything that happens to you.
Look! You worry about your wife, sometimes about your children. Yet they elevate you spiritually. If they were not there, you would not progress spiritually at all. That is how God wills it. But you are very sensitive, and your stomach and gut hurt from too much worry.
It is not good when someone is overly sensitive, like you, because excessive worry, as in your case, causes various bodily illnesses. And do you know that all mental illnesses are demons? If we confess, the Lord will give us strength.
If we have Christ within us...
Let us not be troubled by the end times, nor by the Antichrist and his signs. Because, know this: if we have Christ within us, the Antichrist can do us no harm—none at all."☦️
