“Political correctness” has today reduced the subject of religion to the level of personal taste and preference. Religion is no more important than your favorite flavor of ice cream. If you prefer vanilla and I prefer chocolate, our personal preferences do not have anything to do with truth and morals.
To discuss religion (or ice cream flavors) under the categories of truth and morals is simply not allowable today. All religions, like all ice cream flavors, are good and moral. It doesn’t matter what religion you choose. Your personal choices cannot be “judged,” i.e. criticized or condemned by others.
If you have the audacity to claim that your religion is factually “true” and that all other religions are “false,” this will no longer be tolerated. You will be called a racist, a hatemonger, and a Nazi. You will be accused of being intolerant, bigoted, unloving, and unkind.
Political correctness’ self-contradictory nature is obvious. It is intolerant of those who do not buy into its beliefs concerning religion. Politically correct followers claim to be nonjudgmental and then turn around and judge those who do not accept their beliefs. The word “hypocrisy” comes to mind.
While liberal religionists can maintain the illusion of political correctness (PC), I have been amazed to find many Eastern Orthodox theologians and lay believers using it as a way to deflect any doctrinal criticisms of their religion. They act offended and hurt when anyone condemns what they believe. They take it as a personal offense when told that Eastern Orthodoxy is a false and apostate church in the same way as Roman Catholicism.
What makes all this so amazing is that the hypocrisy of Eastern Orthodoxy is transparent at this point. You cannot have it both ways. If you say that your religion is true, then you have logically admitted that it could possibly be false! Verification and falsification go hand in hand. A two-edged sword cuts both ways.
Be sure to join me as I define, document and refute the group of religions that go by the name "Eastern Orthodoxy".
Breaking News and In-Depth Lecture Series Refuting Eastern Orthodoxy
Dr. Robert Morey, after several years of intensive study that includes research at the Library of Congress, visiting orthodox seminaries in New York and California, interviewing Orthodox theologians and priests, and even attending Orthodox conferences in Southern California, is now prepared to define, document, and defeat Eastern Orthodox doctrines and rituals.
This series of lectures is the first time a Reformed theologian will give a detailed refutation of Orthodoxy by demonstrating that it is a false and apostate church, like Roman Catholicism. No other university or seminary in the world has held such an informative set of lectures.
Why bother? American Evangelicals are converting to Orthodoxy by the thousands! Peter Gillquist led a mass conversion of over 2,000 campus crusade workers to Orthodoxy. Well-known individuals such as Frankie Schaeffer and others have gone public with their conversion to Orthodoxy. Evangelical schools such as Biola allow Eastern Orthodox professors not only to teach but also to convert their students to Orthodoxy. To convert to Orthodoxy, you must renounce the Gospel that we are justified by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Thus, conversion to Orthodoxy is apostasy from biblical Christianity and will lead to an eternity in Hell. If you want to know the truth about Orthodoxy, or you need to give the material to family and friends who have converted to it, you need to attend this lecture series or obtain these materials.
What does God want you to know, be, and do as an individual, family, church and nation? This question occupies the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Indeed, you could divide all the verses in the Bible into four groups:
Individuals
Families
Churches
Nations
Each of these four groups can be further divided into three sections that reveal the goal of each verse. As God speaks to us as individuals, families, churches, and nations, he is calling us to the three great tasks of the Christian life:
God wants us to KNOW certain things. The acquisition of biblical knowledge is the foundation of the Christian life.
God wants us to BE certain things. The development of Christ-like character qualities in our life is the focus of much of the Bible.
God want us to DO certain things. Obedience means that we must be does of the Word and not mere hearers.
Throughout his many years of solid Bible teaching, Dr. Morey has sought to develop the biblical vision of all that God wants us to know, be, and do as individuals, families, churches, and nations. The Encyclopedia of Practical Christianity represents forty years of clear uncompromising allegiance to the fundamental truth that Scripture alone is the Origin of what we should believe and how we should live. You will find this work to be as practical as it is profound. May God expand you understanding of all He wants you to know, be, and do through this encyclopedia.
