Russia’s Constitution now openly honors God, affirms marriage, and supports the Christian faith. It officially recognizes the authority and role of the Orthodox Church in the life of the people.

Voters in Russia have approved constitutional amendments that enshrined traditional Christian values in the country’s supreme laws. The new Russian Constitution defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman. There was widespread support for these new amendments that uphold the traditional definition of marriage and declare “faith in God” as a core value. Russia’s Central Election Commission reported that 78% of Russian voters approved these changes to the country’s laws. Voter turnout was also an impressive 65%.

Russia’s Constitution now openly honors God, affirms marriage, and supports the Christian faith. It officially recognizes the authority and role of the Holy Orthodox Church in the life of the people and the state. This is a blessing for the Russian faithful.

Unlike America and other progressive countries around the world, Russians rejected the LGBTQ delusional agenda that’s deeply heretical, mocks God, and perverts the very concepts of marriage and family. Marriage is between one man and one woman, period. There is no such thing as same-sex “marriage” possible; it’s delusional and an abomination to pretend otherwise.

While America progressively rejects God and His moral law and moves further and further away from the Christian principles that brought liberty and blessings to her people, Russia continues to come back to Christ, embrace God’s moral law, and honor the Christian faith and the Holy Orthodox Church.

In the last 30 years Russia has opened 30,000 Orthodox churches. That’s more than 3 churches per day for three decades straight. The grace and blessings of the Lord will continue to be poured out for such faithfulness and godly work, and God’s grace will be withdrawn from those who reject His son, blaspheme His name, take pride in sins, destroy the innocent, and glorify abominations. Let those who have eyes, see. Let those who have ears, hear. God will not be mocked.

They are defining their nation.
The have been through their "industrialist magnate phase.
Now moving on to values phase.

Good for them.
They continue to recover from their socialist nightmare.

No wonder the left and their queers are so pissed at the Ruskies.

Russia can go fist itself.

So is Calldumb going back home there or stay here and claim asylum?

Half of America is quite literally too stupid to learn from any other failed country's history and mistakes. Or so arrogant, that they assume that THIS TIME will be different because they're much smarter than all the other people who already tried flawed government systems and fell on their faces.

For sure, and the dimmocommies who keep swallowing the Utopia lie by falling for socialism are prime stupid examples.

Classic is the college professors. They support the socialists because they think they will be at the top of the heap, and they are the first to be removed.

Apparently the Eastern Orthodox split after the Council of Nicea has strong legs under it.

Heh!

As long as traditional Christian values are being preserved its a win. Anywhere in the world

I’d rather be an American though than a citizen of any other country in the world. I believe it’s my calling to lead by example and spread Gods message where God has put me.

We in America are in a war. I will not surrender regardless of the odds or difficulties ahead. Traditional Christian And American values will win If we stay the course

Glad you don't live in Russia eh?

I'm not a fanboy of the shidheads, but this is not a bad thing.

Unless you're a sodomite. Or into plural marriage. Or some other perverted shicdt.

Me thinks Paul doth protest too much.

Why? Maybe they are on the road to repentance. Like the prodigal son they have seen the bad side of their choices.

Choices ?

Previously the Russians had no choices.

Putin and his fellow oligarchs are the ultimate pragmatists. Nationalism and traditional values are much better vehicles to unity than are the bullschidt methods of the left as are being displayed here. We are demonstrating
to the world how to destroy a successful culture.

Russia has some 25 million Muslims who aren't going to like that. If they still controlled those 'stan countries, they could expect major revolts.

I couldn't care less what the (supposedly) Ex communists do. They are BAD news, regardless.

The 7th and last Ecumenical Council (aka Second Council of Nicea) was held at Nicea in 787 AD. The Roman church didn't split away officially until 1054 AD.

As I recall it was the Eastern Church that split from the Roman Church. A matter of disagreement concerning the Nicene Creed and within it a reverence towards the Holy Spirit as being equal to the F*ather and the S*n to which the Eastern Church took strong exception to and strong enough exception to cause the Great Chasm.
