ΤΗΕ ROLE OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH
Westernization
of the civilizations by the western “holy” missionaries and the
technology
Toynbee
claims (in his theory) that all civilizations are being westernized
today, and, much to our regret, he is right! If you notice carefully,
the whole world is becoming Americanized; Fast-food restaurants
(McDonald’s in every corner of the Earth), music and clothes made
in USA everywhere. In the older days, the attempt to establish this
life-style was made by the missionaries of the West.
Caution!
The Westerners who went to Latin America, to West Africa etc. had no
intention to preach about Christ. This was only the façade. They
actually went there with the sole intent to westernize those
countries.
In
the past, and unfortunately even today, the Europeans had sent whole
troops
of “Christian” missionaries, not to initiate foreigners in
Christianity, but to impose the Western life-style and philosophy.
Therefore,
we had (and still have today) so many heretic missionaries acting all
over Greece. Toynbee said this “Christian” mission actually
failed in the idolatry nations of Africa, and everywhere else they
went, because they broke up families and societies. They separated
people, because the heresy they preached was something very bad, not
a good thing at all, not blessed by God, and what’s bad or evil,
sooner or later, deteriorates by itself.
The
West has not one, but 500-1000 heresies in its family. All of them
went to Africa pretending a missionary profile, with a secret will to
westernize this continent. The results: In the same family, for
example, one member became a Methodist, the other an Adventist of the
Seventh Day, another a Papist or Pentecostal, and this way the
families got divided. That’s how the westernization, the attempt to
rule over others, and the exploitation through missionary work failed
altogether.
And
what does Toynbee suggest upon this failure? (Don’t forget, he is
Westerner too!) He suggests a new approach: Westernization through
technology! And we actually see it happening today through the PCs
and globalization. We are all being Americanized by the means of New
Age. In fact, all these movements have the same mentality (selfish
and submissive) to all unlawful interests of the globalizers, who
want to dehumanize, “mash” and manipulate humanity.
