The Russian Orthodox Church (also known as the Orthodox Catholic Church of Russia) is the largest of all Eastern Churches, and after the Catholic Church she is the second largest religious denomination in the world. Due to the closure of Russia to the outside she has remained to a great extent hidden or veiled from western eyes.

The Russian Orthodox Church should not be confused with the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (also known as the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad), which was founded by Russian communities outside of Russia, which refused to recognize the authority of the then-Communist-dominated Russian church. However, BOTH organizations teach the same damnable heresies.

The Russian Orthodox Church is a false religion, a cult, just as is Roman Catholicism. In fact, Russian Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism are inseparably related. The Russian Orthodox religion teaches most of the same damnable heresies as does Roman Catholicism. The major difference is that Russian Orthodoxy refuses to recognize the Roman Vatican as their state head.

Russian Orthodoxy requires that a person keep the Seven Sacraments, just like Roman Catholicism. They teach the same heresy that baptism cleanses away "original sin." The Bible teaches no such foolishness. The truth is that only the blood of Jesus Christ can wash away our sins...

"In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins" —Colossians 1:14

No church can save you. Russian Orthodoxy and Catholicism teach that baptism is required for a person to join the church. On the contrary, the Bible teaches that the moment you believe upon Jesus Christ as your Saviour you are a member of the church (Acts 2:47).

The Russian Orthodox Church (in Russia and abroad) are false religions straight from hell. Please don't believe their lies. The Word of God declares that ONLY through childlike FAITH in Jesus Christ can a person be saved...

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." —Ephesians 2:8,9

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." —John 14:6

"Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified." —Galatians 2:16

It's Jesus or Hell! I beseech you my friend, turn to Jesus Christ in faith. Simply receive Christ's payment for your sins. Jesus died, was buried, and rose again three days later. Jesus ascended into Heaven and applied His blood to the heavenly mercy seat in the holy place (Hebrews 9:12,24). It is Jesus' precious, literal, blood that washes away our sins (1st John 1:7; 1st Peter 1:18-19). Thank God for the gift of His dear Son (John 3:16).
