Re: My Introduction

Hello and to our Godly forums. Thank you for taking the trouble to follow the instructions and provide a proper introduction: you really wouldn't believe how many people are too stupid to even do that.

If you were raised Orthodox, you must be some variety of Russian (unless of course you are a Greek? I do hope not). I had no idea that the Russians had ever had troops stationed in Dusseldorf, but perhaps military intelligence is different. It is certainly very unlike normal intelligence.


We are not Mary-worshipers here, dear. As you may have gathered from the name of our church, we are Baptists. Nor to we refer to Galatians as "Saints" - what's that all about? We are a strict King James Bible church. The KJV (1611) is the One True Bible and the Authentic Word of God.

I look forward to hearing more about your life spying on the Germans. Have you ever visited Britain? Apparently our cathedral cities are very popular with Russian tourists.

I was raised over seas and come from a military family. We are Americans in the U. S. military. I grew up in a combination of churches across Europe as parents served their country in a number of European cities, primarily in the U. S. Army some in the Intelligence Services so I also joined and served. I am a U. S. citizen and retired U. S. military but have known no other home than Europe primarily.



Many countries and major cities have Orthodox churches and in many cases that is the only Christian church in that city or region.

Hello and to our forums!

I hope you do find here answers you seek. I must admit, I was a bit surprised to learn there are Orthodox churches in Germany, but I guess all the Soviet soldiers had to pray for forgiveness somewhere for all the horrible things they were doing.

Greetings Dear Friends;




I just found your website while searching for churches and found this all very interesting so I hope to find answers to many questions I have had all my life. So here is my introduction.



I was born and raised Orthodox and have always loved Jesus and the Bible.



I go to Virgin Mary Church in Dusseldorf. This is where I was stationed in the military and so I love it so much that I decided to retire here.



I came to find Jesus by reading the Bible as a young child and following the teachings of the Church.



My favorite verse is:


Galatians 5:22-6:2 (Saints)

22

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23

gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

24

And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

25

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

26

Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

1

Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.

2

Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
