Nope. "judeo-christian" is a non-reality. Respect both religions by recognizing their differences, not melding them together. Israel of the Bible is NOT 🇮🇱. The Church is Israel.

I appreciate that they mentioned how our involvement in Iraq was to the detriment of the Christian community there. American foreign policy has de facto been awful for most of Christians worldwide.
Every single American politician that wants to send your tax $$$ to Ukraine has taken upon themselves to prematurely comment on the death of Alexey Navalny in a Russian prison.
Where were they when AMERICAN journalist, Gonzalo Lira, died in the custody of Ukrainians?!?

Comments like:
"Turn Gaza into a parking lot! None of those cockroaches are innocent!"
From accounts like:

Make it make sense
Any consideration of Christian preaching must begin with the realization that preaching is essentially an act of worship—the central act of Christian worship.
Who better to tell you about Judaism than a former devout one? In love, we should pray and work for the conversion of all Jews to the true fulfillment of ancient Judaism which is only found in Christ & His Church. Do not subjugate Christ to appease Men & modern sensibilities.
The angel cried to the Lady Full of Grace: Rejoice, O Pure Virgin!
Again I say: Rejoice!
Your Son is risen from His three days in the tomb!
With Himself He has raised all the dead!
Rejoice, all you people!
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
~Philippians 4:4-5
Have a great start to Bright Week. Christ is risen! ☦
Do not be over-sophisticated in the words you use when praying, because the simple and unadorned lisping of children has often won the heart of their Heavenly Father. ~ St. John of the Ladder 28:9
This book was very important for me personally to break through the evolution/creationist dichotomy that ignites so much debate
I grew up essentially believing the opening chapters of Genesis should be read like a science textbook, completely missing deeper spiritual truths ☦
MEMORIAL TO A MONK WHO JOYFULLY DIED & WHO NEVER JUDGED ANYONE IN THIS LIFE
This monk was lazy, careless, and lacking in his prayer life; but throughout all of his life, he did not judge anyone. While dying, he was happy. 🧵
Saint Philoumenos the New Hieromartyr of Jacob's Well (+ 1979)
"On November 16/29, 1979 they (Zionist Jews) burst into the monastery and with a hatchet butchered Archimandrite Philoumenos in the form of a cross."
Today the Church remembers the 222 Holy Martyrs of China tortured and killed during the Boxer Rebellion for refusing to deny their faith. ☦🙏🏻
May we have a hint of their bravery and faith.

Correct, this isn't CRT. It's worse. And laying a foundation of lies so when critical race theory is later learned, it won't be questioned.
Don't be naive and think they aren't related.

....so a heterosexual couple. So tired of promoting mental illness as something normal and the constant language-games for 'inclusivity' 😒
@rweingarten
@VanityFair
If CRT and other controversial things aren't being taught in K-12 schools, then you should have no problem with cameras in the classrooms that parents/guardians have access to. 🤷🏻♂️
Reading and STEM. That's what public schools should be focused on.
@TheTennisLetter
Are the Chinese players greeted with the same level of animosity? What about the American players when America has engaged in questionable warfare?
Didn't think so.
@Empty_America
There's no need to deprive our senses in worship. This just makes me sad.
Even small spaces can be made beautiful and welcoming. Holy Trinity church, Antarctica:
Spent the weekend at St. John Chrysostom monastery in Wisconsin. The music, the architecture, the art: incredibly beautiful and incredibly meaningful. Grateful for those who have committed their lives to serving something higher than themselves. Glory to God.

Happiness can only be achieved by looking inward and learning to enjoy whatever life has and this requires transforming greed into gratitude.
~ St. John Chrysostom
I think I will stick to my Bible that has books like Judith, Sirach, and Maccabees.
I do not want a Bible that has been degraded by including the US Constitution and other man-made American documents. Truly sickening.
Happy Holy Week! Let’s Make America Pray Again. As we lead into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to get a copy of the God Bless The USA Bible.

Moses died and yet actively participated in Christ's earthly mission during the Transfiguration.
We worship the God of the living not the dead. The Mother of God, like all the Saints, participates in the life of the Church. All generations will indeed call Mary blessed.
The whole lifestyle of modern man is arranged in such a way that there is no place for genuine spiritual life. Those who seek the spiritual life are thrown into despair, driven further and further into the mire of worldliness.
So the new argument is that the Catholic Church is masonic b/c Candace Owens happened to come into the Catholic Church in a building that has pillars?
Ok, people. Time to get some fresh air.
A seven year old boy asks Haley why she wants to be president.
“Because you deserve better than what you’re getting right now,” Haley responds, then adds “Just wait until you see me become the mom of America.”
@AMJalsevac
We should be thankful for our Jewish roots, but the Faith now lives in the branches. We have no religious obligation to politically support a country called Israel formed by the UN-UK-US. The only Israel is the Church.
Dispensationalism runs deep, unfortunately.
@TheTennisLetter
An excellent & mature response from Aryna. If it's the Ukrainian players' prerogative to not show sportsmanship, then it's my prerogative to not cheer for them.
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
~John 3:14-15
Been reading up on Communism in Romania 🇷🇴 and the saints that came out of that period. Amazing saints, recognized or not, that experienced unfathomable circumstances we can't fully comprehend in our current comfortable lives.
Highly recommend reading up on Valeriu Gafencu ☦
I just find it interesting that veneration of American presidents/ideals is completely normal & acceptable but the second that gets transferred to a Christian context, many Americans lose their minds. I would much rather honor the Theotokos.
