It could be argued that Banning western LGBT favoring churches, money preachers, and cults, is a good thing. The independent Russian Church is prospering…

Again, only 7% even attend once a month, and you are issuing false and irresponsible calumny against real Christians who face persecution in Russia. Although it is true Russia also bans certain churches we recognize as cults (Jehovah's Witnesses), on that front I would also add that it is utterly unAmerican and against fundamental liberty for the State to decide what brand of religion is the correct one, and that by force and persecution.

Russia is not and never has been a friend of America.

So refreshing to hear some reasonable talk about Russia. Neither Ukraine or Russia represent American values any more than Obama or Biden do.

Putin is no better a representation of a leader we want than Biden or Zelensky.

“Biblical” is not the sole authentic standard for Christian faith.

attacking free Ukraine is more globalization not less.

Ukraine has been attacking itself for the past 8 years since Globohomo’s fomented a Color Revolution overthrowing a Democratically Elected President.

mssr. putin knows his days areless numerous, ergo, his attempts at regaining Russian greatness post-the-wall years.he has been orchestrating a state orthodoxy, with whispers of other churches disappearing. again, more greatness.

a man, who under the soviet system, was not rich, but could acquire ‘some things’. since then, he has found means to gather money, a name, and power.

saving russia from globalism? no. putting russia on thre map, yes. russia saving the world from globalism? no.
saving the world for russia, yes.

expect a whirlwind inside the kremlin on the passing of mssr. putin.
watch and see who mssr. putin has kept a boot on his neck, to be his successor.

It most certainly is. But this doesn't matter since in this context since, as I said, the super majority of Russians aren't believers in orthodoxy anyway despite it being the near universal nominal religion for them.

If you'd like to debate why the Bible isn't the sole authentic standard of truth for what is or isn't Christian, start a thread on it, and you will be torn to pieces by the very learned Christians we have on this forum. I myself might join in on the dogpile, though I do most of my Christian debate on other forums these days.

Regarding the Maidan coup, before I had ever heard of it, I read a book by an Orthodox priest from England who was visiting some monasteries in Greece sometime in 2016, two years after the Maidan coup. While in Greece, he chanced to meet an Orthodox priest from the Ukraine who said he feared for his life because the "fascist" government of the Ukraine, which he claimed had been installed by the CIA, was randomly killing Christians. Because of the situation in the Ukraine, he wanted to be given permission for permanent residence in one of the Greek monasteries.

As with the English priest he told this to, it was the first I had ever heard of it and I didn't know what to make of it. Since the Russian invasion of the Ukraine, I have thought back on it, and it has fueled my suspicions that there is an underlying subtext to that war that we are not being told about.

No, the conflict between Russia and the globalist west is more of a case where mixtures of good and evil confront one another, neither is that close to the Kingdom ideal. If we get to the Kingdom it will not be through any victory of an earthly power but through the sovereignty of Jesus Christ over all the kings of the earth. This is the scenario outlined in prophecy, what we may now be seeing is the fight between the “beast” and the “whore of Babylon” both of which are subdued in the end times by the armies of Christ.

I do not see any worldly powers that resemble the “armies of Christ” only individuals who seem to meet that standard. Their actions at this time are not military but political and social. How, if at all, this evolves into a military conflict is not very clear. It suggests that the process towards the Kingdom may be more in the spiritual than the military realm.

"World Nut Daily will never be happy with anything less than a Theocracy including burning of gays, witches, and non-Christians."

I think it is much closer to the truth to say that the LGBTQ+ movement will not rest until all Christians who retain traditional views of marriage, gender, and sexuality are marginalized from full participation in society, banned from certain professions, and even criminalized. Your own assertion is a lunatic overstatement.

OR you could, just, look at Ukraine over the past 8 years and find proof of the "fascist coup government" killing innocent people in the streets.

As this has never happened, you will never find any evidence for it. But we can find plenty of evidence that Russian Orthodox Priests operate as propagandists and spies for the Kremlin.

If you, an authoritarian Nazi type who justifies the persecution of people based on their religious preferences in Russia, cared about children, you would, perhaps, begin with Russia itself. But since you are a defacto Nazi, of course all your criticism is aimed at the USA--the opponent/target of the regime you support.

Are you referring to my post on the KGB status of Archbishop Kirill and his involvement with Liberation Theology? This is verified fact. It is not a matter of paranoia, and certainly Hillary has never referenced it.

If you're too ignorant or have too low of an IQ to engage specifically with anything I say, refuting it, then it's better to just stay silent than to debase yourself with deceitful comments such as this.
