 http://theological.asia/?p=7965    How ethno-phyletism  leads the souls of people to corruption and dishonesty.    There are articles about the ethno-phyletism,  the heresy of racism , which is like a cancer in the orthodox church, but most of them talk from theoplogical point of view. I would like to contribute from a very practical point of view and to share with you the bitterness of the pastor and spiritual father and the mourning for the souls who are destroyed from the church racism.

Ethnophyletism  does not stop in theory, because actually its theology is already a heresy and cannot find any theological support. The bible condemns is very strongly:  Gal. 1:8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. Gal. 1:9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

FOR THE NEW JUDAS

Your manner is full of deceit, lawless Judas, for sick with avarice, you have acquired hatred for humankind. If you loved wealth, why did you frequent the One who taught of poverty? But if you loved him, why did you sell the One who is beyond price, betraying him to be murdered? Tremble sun, earth groan, and quaking cry aloud, ‘Long-suffering Lord, glory to you!’

Today Judas conceals his presence of love for the poor, and reveals the form of his nationalism; no longer does he care for the needy, no longer does he sell the myrrh of the sinful woman, but the heavenly Myrrh, and from it purloins the pieces of silver; he runs to the Jews, says to the transgressors, ‘What are you willing to give me, and I will hand him over to you?’ O avarice of the traitor! He concludes the sale to be profitable; in accordance with the intention of the purchasers he concludes the business of the One being sold; he does not haggle over the price, but sells him like a runaway slave; for it is the custom of thieves to cast away what is valuable; now the disciple throws what is holy to the dogs; for the rage of avarice made him rave against the Master; let us flee his enterprise, as we cry, ‘Long-suffering Lord, glory to you!’

Tone 2. By Romanos the Melodist.

After taking the bread into his hands the traitor secretly stretches them out and takes the price of the One who fashioned humankind with his own hands; and he remained unrepentant, Judas the slave and deceiver.

To you, his friends, Christ cried, ‘One will betray me.’ Forgetting gladness, they were gripped by grief and anguish. ‘Who is it?’ they said, ‘Tell us, God of our fathers’.

The one without conscience received the Body, release from sin, and the divine Blood, poured out on behalf of the world. He did not flinch from drinking what he had sold for a price, he was not angered by evil and he knew not how to cry: You works praise the Lord, and highly exalt him to all the ages................

Judas the transgressor, Lord, having dipped his hand with you in the dish at the supper, stretched out his hands to take the silver pieces; and having reckoned up the price of the myrrh, he did not flinch from selling you, who are beyond price; the one who stretched out his feet to be washed, deceitfully kissed the Master to betray him to the transgressors; cast from the choir of Apostles, and having cast down the thirty silver pieces, he did not see your Resurrection on the third day. Through it have mercy on us.
