“Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them,

and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

But it shall not be so among you:

but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto,

but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.” (Matthew 20:25-28, KJV)


The word the Athenians used for their Assembly was Ekklesia, the same word used in the New Testament for Church
(and it is the greatest philological irony in all of Western history that this word,
which connoted equal participation in all deliberation by all members,
came to designate a kind of self-perpetuating, self-protective Spartan gerousia -
which would have seemed patent nonsense to Greek-speaking Christians of New Testament times,
who believed themselves to be equal members of their Assembly.)

ΦΙΛΟΤΙΜΟ: THE GREEK SECRET

Dream on!

To the proistameno of Prophet Elias only.....
It seems that even the Holy days of Pascha can not have an effect on your arrogance.
You made your statements, now I will make mine.
You are gone and you don't know it or don't want to admit it!
I told you before and I will say it again:"ΘΑ ΦΥΓΕΙΣ ΝΥΧΤΑ".
Χριστος Ανεστη!
