Fundamentalist????

[Joe Zollars]

It seems that someone is of hte habit of throwing the phrase "orthodox fundamentalist" to describe groups such as the ROAC, ROCIE, and GOC. Such is entirely preposterous giving what Fundamentalist REALLY means.

A Fundamentalist is a person who believes in uniting "christian" denominations at the base common denominator which they call "fundamentals." It is a direct precurser to the modern ecumenist movement.

Therefore the only people this person could truthfully call "Orthodox Fundamentalists" is those within world orthodoxy.

Sorry to go all Anastasios on you. :mrgreen:

strange how also "new-calendarists" are rarley ever "ecumenists" since a real ecumenist is one who tries to convert people to the true faith. "New-calendarists" are really syncretists.

To recap then, genuine Orthodox Christians are really anti-fundementalist ecumenists; and the new-calendarist are really syncretist fundementalist fanatics.

That should help clear things up.

Well, I don't know about ROCIE and GOC. Technically, ROAC isn't fundamentalist because they do not accept The Fundamentals. And perhaps in the looser usage they aren't either, in that (IMO) doctrine really isn't central to their existence.

Not that this mitigates their defects in any way.

As far as redefining "fundamentalist" is concerned, it is hardly an act of intellectual integrity to do so. The real modern ecumenists are descended (at least in part) from those whom the real fundamentalists opposed, after all.

Since your talking about me and my use of the word "Fundamentalist" which I
use because of my Catholic Apologist backround, I will start to use the phrase Ultra-Extremist in the Right wing, since your (NOT) Ultra-Extreme bleedingheart Ecumenistic Liberals. Man, if Christianity had such a teaching as Holy War, most Ultra-Extremist "in the right wing" would use it.

Stange how history has proven in Greece, Russia, and elsewhere, that even without a "holy war" theology, the ecumenist/sergianists have been the ones anxious to murder and persecute our priests.

That is ultra-extremist, holding to the faith is simply Orthodox.

[PFC Nektarios]

Please not I added the word "Liberal" in there.
Come to think about it yes, Old Calendarist and non-ecumenist
are always persecuted but that was not my original argument.

For I myself think that we should use the Julian Calendar because
using the new style we dont commemrate all the saints, and in
the Canons it talks about that Pascha will be held during...
some thing about the moon (pardon the ignorance) which
I know is the Julian calander. I myself dont like useing a calendar
that was created by a heretic.

Ecumenism is the biggest heresy of our age and it denys out fundmental faith yes I will admitt.

Dear OOD,

Please, be so kind to inform me which Orthodox Christian (either lay or cleric) in Greece or in Russia, murdered any of "your" priests.

In Christ,

Makis
