NO DIALOGUE, BUT REPENTANCE

I would like to tell you something. I won’t expand on it too much but soon I will. There are people who want to create a dialogue with Christianity, and this is the heretical West, the Protestants, the so-called “World Council of Churches” and the Roman Catholics. For years and years they talk and talk, and have one dialogue after another, so that we discover what?

It is so simple. If, O Protestant or Roman Catholic West, you wish to know the Truth, there is no need for dialogues. Repent and come to Orthodoxy. End of conversation. The way is simple. It is repentance.

So much has been accused of this “World Council of Churches” (and don’t think that it does not concern us), because it simply wastes time and creates corruption in Orthodoxy, because those who go there suffer this corruption, and despite so many semi-official, unofficial and official outcries, it is a tragedy that we have not yet understood this. Dreadful corruption.

But this is not all. The latest is the creation of a so-called “neo-orthodox current”. … They are attempting to create a dialogue between Marxism and Christianity! I’m not saying anything new. It is known. It was published in the papers in the form of an alleged “study”, that a series of articles should become a means of approaching and finding – listen to this – common ground between Marxism and Christianity!

It is very simple. There can be no dialogue. If you would like to become a Christian, you will be a Christian only. You cannot be a Marxist and a Christian at the same time; this is impossible. And how will you become a Christian? There is one way only. Not with dialogue, but with repentance.

There is no other way but repentance. You will say, “I repent for what I am” (a Freemason, a Marxist, an atheist, an anarchist, or whatever…). Whatever you are, if you want to become a Christian you will repent without opening a dialogue.

Dialogue in the Bible does exist. It’s there in the New Testament. Christ opens a dialogue with the Samaritan woman, but the dialogue there is of a pedagogical nature, in order to cultivate the prospective believer, in the sense of getting at the meaning of things.

We, even have, if you like, two central dialogues developed in this way: The dialogue of the Lord with the Samaritan woman and also the dialogue of the Lord with Nicodemus. The Lord has no intention whatsoever of opening a dialogue, to give way to something of the dialectic which would be communicated between Christ and Nicodemus or the Samaritan woman. The dialogue is, I repeat, of a pedagogical nature, in order to impart some understanding to the other. He said: “Give me a drink.” “You, a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan woman?” “If you knew who the One speaking to you is…” (Jn. 4:7-10)

This is one way, but not in the sense that we want to find common ground, the kind of dialogue that will end up in dialectic, in order to find common ground, to CO-EX-IST [συνυπάρχομε]. … for Freemasonry to co-exist with Christianity; for Christianity to co-exist with Marxism; for Christianity to co-exist with anarchy; for Christianity to co-exist (listen to this) with atheism. This thing as a dialectic is from the evil one. IT IS ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT DEMONIC.

I will say it one more time: CHRISTIANITY KNOWS ONE WAY IN ORDER FOR SOMEONE TO APPROACH IT, AND THIS WAY IS REPENTANCE.

“REPENT,” said John the Baptist, and the Lord also began His preaching with this. (Mat. 3:2, Mk. 1:15) You repent. Do you wish to enter the Kingdom of God? You repent. I WILL NOT CHAT WITH YOU. The Truth is complete and revealed. You either accept it or you do not. Anything more is from the devil (Mt. 5:37).

These days much is being written in these cultural magazines which are circulating, many cultural magazines. “Dialogue,” they say, “with Mount Athos.” And here you see something strange… strange things… These strange approaches, without them leaving the positions they hold – Marxist ones. They say it clearly: We are Marxists and we want to dialogue. What will we conclude? Nothing. Do you want to be saved? You will become a Christian… We have nothing to discuss.

Maybe tomorrow they will come to me and say, “What do you have to say?” I said it before. That which I am telling you. I am telling you this clear enough. DIALOGUE IS NOT POSSIBLE. I say this for the third time. THERE IS ONE WAY: REPENTANCE. NOTHING ELSE.
