+OrthodoxAnswers -- 'I chose the church and life of Christ.' -- That is an interesting interpretation, sir. Try this next one.
'This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.' (John 15:12) -- Jesus Christ said that. Shall we try another?
'Judge not, that ye be not judged.' (Matthew 7:1) Jesus Christ said that, too.
For you to say that 'The West is degenerate' is to judge the entirety of the west, and your statement is just untrue. Matthew 7:2 goes on to say that those who judge will also be judged. That is all of us, myself included. We will all be judged, we are all guilty of judging others at some point in our lives.
In living a life of Christ, you must also listen to what Christ says. We are all incapable of living the exact life of Christ. He was sinless. We are not. We are all incapable of living lives that are free of the judgment from, and judgment of, others. In a way, what I'm doing right now is judging you. There is no love to be found in the judgment of others, and for my judgment of you, I am sorry.
But it is difficult for me to remain silent when people such as yourself and your Putin, use my faith in an effort to further yourselves, rather than to further God's Kingdom. Maybe that isn't your goal, but Putin's record has been captured throughout the world from multiple angles. He seeks to enrich and uplift himself and not the entirety of humanity. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and he thinks we are all sheep, yourself included. Your Putin cares as much about you and your faith as Trump cares about me and my faith.
I pray that you go forth and be fooled no more.
