MICHAEL FREUND: Ezekiel is commanded by God to take two sticks. On one, he is to write "For Judah," and on the other "For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim." Then comes the crucial instruction: "Bring them together into one stick so that they become one in your hand" (37:17). Ezekiel's vision is not one of uniformity. The two sticks do not cease to be what they are. Judah remains Judah; Joseph remains Joseph. Unity does not erase difference – it sanctifies and elevates it by placing it within a larger shared destiny.

Ketriel Blad: In other words, in order for a total restoration to take place, the restored Ephraimites from among the nations will have to become Jewish, in the legal sense of the word, thus accepting the Jewish authorities and becoming obedient to Jewish halachah. In the prophecy of Ezekiel 37:19 the Hebrew text can be understood as HaShem giving Yehuda's stick the function of being over Ephraim's stick and this way both sticks will become one. This teaches us that the Ephraimite movement that comes from heaven cannot rise apart from the Jewish people without submission to the Jewish leaders' authority. This is not for all the gentiles.

Rami Abdel RahmanThe vast majority had already fled. Only those too poor to flee stayed behind.

Fleming Rutledge: American Christianity, as Richard Niebuhr pointed out long ago, has tended to preach a gospel without judgment and a Christ without a cross. This is an old problem. We want to be happy. We want to be positive. We want to overlook the almost unbelievable problems we face today. Yet this is not the case for the poorest of the poor. They know there’s a need for judgment and for a heavenly deliverer.

Lefty Limbo: The Day He Asked For Docs.


www.facebook.com/47595593474/photos/a.10152697518638475.1073741834.47595593474/10154652474458475/?type=3&theater
Lefty Limbo: "Dad, what kind of boots are those?" 
"They're Docs."
"Cool. Can I have Docs like yours too?" 
"Yes!"



The Most Reverend Metropolitan Athanasios [Nikolaou] of Limassol: The Orthodox Church has always prayed "for the Union of all" – I believe this to mean the return to and Union with [Israel] of all those who broke away and distanced themselves from Her ~ of Heretics and Schismatics ~ once they have renounced their Heresy and Schism and flee from those things with repentance and are integrated and joined – United – with the Orthodox Church in accordance with the teachings of the sacred canon. The Orthodox Church of Christ never lost the "unity of faith and the communion of the Holy Spirit" and does not accept the theory of the restoration of the unity of those "who believe in Christ," because it believes that the unity of those who believe in Christ already exists in the unity of all of Her baptised children, between themselves and with Christ, in Her correct faith, where no Heretics or Schismatics are present, for which reason She prays for their return to Orthodoxy in repentance. I believe that what is stated in article 5 regarding "the lost unity of Christians" is incorrect, because the Church as God’s people, united among themselves and with the Head of the Church which is Christ, never lost this unity and therefore is not in need of rediscovering or seeking it, because it always was, is, and will be just as the Church of Christ has never ceased nor will cease to exist. In other words, there do not exist other Churches, only Heresies and Schisms, should we wish to be more precise in our definitions. The expression "towards the restoration of Christian unity" is incorrect because the unity of Christians – the members of the Church of Christ – has never been broken, as long as they remain united to the Church. Separation from the Church and flight from the Church have unfortunately happened numerous times due to heresies and schisms, but there was never a loss of the internal unity of the Church. We confess one Church and that all the others are Schisms and Heresies. I maintain that giving the title "Church" to Heretical or Schismatic communities is entirely incorrect from a theological, dogmatic, and canonical perspective because the Church of Christ is one, as also stated in Article 1, and we cannot refer to a Heretical or Schismatic community or group outside the Orthodox Church as "Church." At no point does this text state that the only way that leads to union with the Church is solely the repentant return of Heretics and Schismatics to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of Christ, which according to Article 1 is our Orthodox Church. The reference to the "understanding of the tradition of the ancient Church" gives the impression that there is an ontological difference between the ancient Church of the Seven Ecumenical Councils and the genuine continuation of the same until the present day, namely our Orthodox Church. We believe that there is absolutely no difference between the Church of the 21st century and the Church of the 1st century, because one of the attributes of the Church is the fact we also confess in the Symbol of Faith, namely that it is Apostolic. Article 12 states that the common purpose of the theological dialogues is "the final restoration of unity in correct faith and love." This gives the impression that we Orthodox are seeking our restoration to correct faith and the unity of love, as if we had lost the right faith and are seeking to discover it through the theological dialogues with the heterodox. I maintain that this theory is theologically unacceptable for us all. We owe it also to our brothers who find themselves in Heresy or Schism to be entirely honest with them, and with love and pain to pray and do everything possible to bring about their return to [Israel]. Never did the holy Fathers nor ever in the holy canons or rulings of the sacred Ecumenical or Local Synods, are Heretical or Schismatic groups referred to as churches. If the heretics are indeed churches, where is the single One Church of Christ and the Apostles?

Arutz Sheva Staff: The IDF considers the Lebanese Army as solely responsible for what is happening in the region and will continue to act against any attempt to harm Israel's sovereignty and security.

Marcel Cousineau: Israel has been snared by the American Idol she has placed before God. That’s Idolatry. God is going to throw a monkey wrench in this Pimp-Prostitute relationship. We’re now going into end of game. Checkmate when it comes to Syria. Russia will eventually answer Israel’s attack on Damascus. When the build up goes into hot war mode, Iran, as a close ally of Russia will easily take out our Carrier group. They’ve been practicing to do this for decades. Our American equipped and trained ally Iraq (where we wasted trillions of dollars in Bush’s failed invasion) will be on Iran’s side against boxed in America.
