Some Very Un-Biblical Commandments Appear in Russian Orthodox Churches


Paul Goble

 

            Staunton, January 19 – A Russian blogger has gathered pictures of homemade signs in Russian Orthodox churches, signs which as he points out carry injunctions that are nowhere to be found in the Bible (tsarvalera.ru/post350381406/ reposted at 7x7-journal.ru/post/52858). Among them are the following:

 

  • “Brothers and Sisters! Don’t use Orthodox newspapers as toilet paper. That is sacrilege.”
     
  • “Feeding the birds is prohibited! Protect the walls of the church!”
     
  • “Parents are asked to keep noisy children quiet lest they disturb worshippers.”
     
  • “The Lord will punish those who talk in church.”
     
  • “Don’t contribute women’s underwear or swimsuits to the church.”
     
  • “The Lord will punish those who steal gasoline from the priest.”
     
  • “One must not bring one’s own candles to burn before the icons; one must purchase them from the church.”
     
  • “Having sex during pregnancy will make give offspring homosexual inclinations.”
