Was U.S. General Patton murdered?

The resting place of threads that were very valid in 2004, but not so much in 2024. Basically this is a giant historical archive.

Dear Iconophili,

I do not understand the meaning of the word "Consetion" and could not find it in the dictionary - though I believe it is a term associated with diamond dust. Could you define "Consetion" for me?

thanks ...

Abraham Lincoln, whose body was incorrupt and exuded a beautiful fragrance decades after his death, was a believer that America suffered for her sins of slavery in blood in the civil war, and that was a just recompense for her cruelty to a race of people unjustly enslaved.

I have heard other orthodox casually comment that Communism was perhaps a just reward for the pogroms - I don't think that needs to be a "teaching of the fathers."

I might counter against it in that the sun shines on the just and unjust alike... But it is very human to see that there is a certain balance; Hitler reaped what he had sown, and I think in fairness the Russian people through Pogroms reaped what they had sown in Communism.

It is certainly stupidity, even in a historic sense, to be hate filled for one will in some way reap what one sows.

Lincoln was no saint and he was as racist as anyone, in fact he wanted the slaves out of the country, free them and ship them to Africa was his plan. Slavery would have ended in time naturally if Lincoln had not broken the Constitutional law and split the country over this issue and all those Americans would not have died. Lincoln needlessly starting the Civil War was truly a heneous crime.

I was wondering myself just what that word might actually be when it is spelled correctly and used in the right way.

Abraham Lincoln, whose body was incorrupt and exuded a beautiful fragrance decades after his death,

This piqued my curiosity. Could you please say where you found this told? thank you

pretty obvious that Iconophilli is saying concession, but he means consensus.........

consensus of the Holy Fathers........... They same Holy Fathers who would have condemned your bitter vitriol with respect to Iconophili

maybe this will make it easier for such great minds to understand....

con·sen·sus (kən-sĕn'səs)
n.
An opinion or position reached by a group as a whole: “Among political women . . . there is a clear consensus about the problems women candidates have traditionally faced” (Wendy Kaminer). See Usage Note at redundancy.
General agreement or accord: government by consensus.

on the whole, I find this forum to be a very poor spokesman for Orthodoxy. If I had depended on this forum to shape my early opinions on Orthodoxy, I would probably have become Jewish instead.

All Saints of America Orthodox Mission, Located in Dequeen Arkansas. The Mission strives to provide a welcoming community, in a quiet country setting, where individual members can work out their salvation and serve as a witness to the Orthodox Faith.
