I'm so proud that no acts of violence coincided with the introduction of Orthodoxy in Uganda.

35 We believe in continuity after the prophet but a continuity with God through a living prophet-messenger on earth. [Ed: The congregation says “Amen!”]. In the Old Testament, God never revealed his Word through a priest, in the New Testament God never revealed his Word through a minister of Ephesians 4:11, no matter how much this apostle, church prophet, evangelist or teacher is filled with the Holy Spirit, God will never reveal his Word because He is the same yesterday, today and to the ages and because He is God of the Spirits of the prophets! [Ed: The congregation says “Amen!”]. 36 And I let you know that a version of the Bible, in which all that is Jesus Christ will be substituted by Yeshoua Hamashia, [that Bible] is being edited and other versions will follow in the same line. But when they finish translating and editing them, we will bring them before the Urim Thummim to see whether the twelve stones of the breastplate will twinkle. And if the twelve stones of the breastplate do not twinkle, we will take them all to the altar of Acts 19:19. [Ed: The congregation says: "Amen!"]. And he that can understand, let him understand!

[@empirical_blade6926]

@Swedish Ghostface Ok but you are misunderstanding what being a "Greek" means in the Christian context, just like Western Europeans were called Latins without actually being from the Italian region of Latium instead they were called Latins because of their Roman Catholic spiritual identity so many people who adopt Greek orthodoxy are spiritually Greeks, for the Greeks and Latins differ in what they consider Christian orthodoxia. Also if you know biblical prophecy it is the sons of Japheth (meaning the European tribes) along with Shem that are going to spread the salvation of God through the whole earth, that is why God started with the Israelites a semitic people and continued with the Indo Aryan peoples, actually Japeth means to "expand" or carry, no wonder we Europeans went the furthest in every sense of the word, so there is nothing wrong with Hamites spiritually classifying themselves as Greeks or Latins, because it doesnt change their ugandian heritage neither destroys ours physically speaking.

He died two years ago unfortunately. I remember watching him in a local TV station whenever he visited Crete where he got his priesthood in the 70s. I'm a "dodecatheist" and hence I don't think that Orthodoxy is synonymous to Hellenism, but I give credit where it's due. I hope there are priests in Uganda to continue his legacy.
