Russian Pravoslavie versus Greek Orthodox

RUSSIAN “PRAVOSLAVIE CHRISTIANITY” VERSUS GREEK “ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY”
The Prince Vladimir of Kiev baptized Greco and Byzantium into “PRAVOSLAVIE” (orthodoxy)!
The Legend that King Vladimir, as the conqueror of the land of Kherson, embraced the faith of the defeated Greeks, does not fit with any logic, absolutely!
Where did you see that the winners took faith of losers?
Usually peoples go to war under the banners of their Gods and their spiritual mentors.
The Conquered peoples are showing their weakness, wrong, failure of their God’s teachings, of their culture, of their spiritual values, traditions, and so on. And they are defeated.
The Winners are showing the triumphant power of their Gods, doctrines, traditions, culture, people, values, state and so on. And they win.
So the idea that the winners will make the loser’s faith as their own is devoid of any sense! It is imposed on us falsely!
In fact this is the King Vladimir of Kiev who baptized the defeated Greeks in Kherson City of Byzantium, which he won. After the Kherson, King Vladimir of Kiev baptized the rest of all Byzantium.
When King Vladimir baptized Kherson, he was already a Christian. Indeed, we know that Prince Vladimir was baptized in a conscious age. Though we do not know the exact date; it is misquoted to confuse the Russian believers.
Where was Prince Vladimir converted to Christianity, and when?
The answer is simple; the Prince Vladimir was converted to Christianity in Russia. And it is occurred even before His conquest of Kherson.
And whether Christianity in Russia existed?
Of course it did. We know from the “Life of Apostle Andrew” (first called disciple of Christ) that Apostle Andrew preached Christianity in Russia. And we know that Apostle Andrew has set the first “Stone Crosses" near Novgorod City of Russia and elsewhere in Russia and founded several churches.
It is well known that in Old Russia from the ancient times there peacefully existed Christianity and Polytheism (which, by the way of Westerners is called “idolatry ", although it is not the same meaning).
The King Vladimir of Kiev baptized Byzantium also, since he was the winner and the Conqueror. The then question is: “And what was then the religion of Byzantium?” What was its faith?
The religion was also Christian, but not “PRAVOSLAVIE” or (Orthodoxy). It could be Catholic or even some other, such as "Arian’s", "Baptist’s" and other deviation of “PRAVOSLAVIE” or (Orthodoxy) – there are hundreds of them.
Since Kherson at that time was ruled by Greeks, and King Vladimir won the Kherson City, it is quite obvious that Vladimir the Conqueror planted as a conqueror its faith where he won, that is Russian Pravoslavie Faith or (Orthodoxy). Later, in 1620 the Patriarch of Moscow Nikon of Greece origin rewrote this point in history books for the benefit of Greece and recorded that King Vladimir baptized Russ in the image of Byzantine and Greece religion. It has been done to have an impact on the Great Russ, to make the Great Russ more dependent in the spiritual sense on the Byzantine Empire and of Greece in particular.
In the Greek language there is no concept of "PRAVOSLAVIE”. The Russian word “PRAVOSLAVIE– RIGHT GLORIFICATION “- is translated into Greek as “ORTHODOXY or Right Believing.”
Also the title: "The Russian Pravoslavie Church Abroad” – is translated as "Russian Orthodox Church Abroad" – which is incorrect translation! The wrong translation screws the right meaning.
By simple logic it is obvious that the word “orthodoxy – right believing” is an artificial word and does not make any sense; since it is impossible to say that "this believing is right, and that one is not right”.
The concept of "Faith or Believe" - is not an action, but a state of mind or soul. Therefore, it is impossible to make a person to be a believer in something by force. Any believing is Right. For every person believes on the basis of its level of development or of spiritual mood or of state of mind.
In turn, the Russian word "PRAVOSLAVIE – “right glorification” or “right praising" means an action. An action is a doing of something which a person can perform. And you can glorify somebody by the “right way or by the wrong way”. For example, you can glorify somebody using an informal language which is not appropriate in some circumstances. We can correct such a person who is using an informal language in praising of somebody or something and say: “Hey, boy it is not appropriate to use such words even to praise somebody”. But we never can say: “Hey boy, your believing is wrong you should believe in something else in which I believe”.
Therefore, it becomes an obvious nonsense when we translate the Russian word "PRAVOSLAVIE” which is RIGHT GLORIFICATION” as the word "ORTHODOX" which is RIGHT BELIEVING”.
And as in any translation there is the concept of the “original text“, and the “translated text," it is clear that between two concepts the original one is the one which transfers the right sense. In this case, the word “PRAVOSLAVIE which is RIGHT GLORIFICATION” is carrying the common sense which is the original. But the word “ORTHODOXY which does not make any sense“- is just a bad translation from the original Russian text.
Because of this we can easily understand what Primary and what Secondary were. And of course we could understand what the beginning is and what the sequence is. The beginning is Russian words and Russia and the sequence is Greek words and Greece and Latin of course and all derivations of Latin as English, French, Spanish, etc. I’m saying this with the full respect of all languages.
Therefore all Russian and non-Russian, Russian-speaking and not very much, Christians and non-Christians should know and understand and be guided by this in their lives that "PRAVOSLAVIE Christianity“- is the primary of all Christianity in the world. And if someone not Russian speaking calls “PRAVOSLAVIE” as “Orthodoxy”, be merciful to such an unenlightened person, don’t judge him severely and treat him as your junior cousin yet non-educated with regret and hope. And pray the Lord that He will ever enlighten such a yet not lost soul and will let him to realize the high and spiritual concept that could be ever perceived only by the Russian and Slavonic type of mind - “PRAVOSLAVIE.”
