An amazing story about a raskolnik (female), who apprehended YEHOWAH;
moreover, she helped an orthodox priest convert to YEHOWAH'S Religion
Priest: Well, S.Ivanovna, did you think about my words that one cannot be saved1) without the help of the clergy?
SI: Yes, but when I gained the picture of Christianity from 870 AD or from the time the Greeks installed the Pope of the new Rome2), clearly, that there always existed people in christianity3) empowered to forgive people their evil deeds and sins4). People having this status were called priests, senior priests and high priests.
Nowadays they call themselves priests, archpriests and bishops. This way I've made sure that the priest is the only person to provide salvation5), that is, no prayers, consecrations, fasts, crosses, rituals and clothes and sacrifices to God can forgive a person his sins but the priest.
Priest: You are dead right!
SI: Don't jump the conclusion and listen to me, please! Having made sure that a priest can forgive sins, I made up my mind to convert directly to eastern orthodoxy and not to one of the schisms such as Edinoverchenye, Okrujnye and Neokrujnye; but before I did it the thought of asking the SINGLE TEACHER or the FIRST: Christian Legislator occurred to me. I begged HIM to tell me the Saving Truth PERSONALLY. No sooner had I finished my prayer to GOD JESUS CHRIST than a man came in and passed me a book, saying, "You will find Saving and Irrefutable Truth in This Book." When I read the first pages I was dumbfounded by Great News.
Priest: What has happened to you?
SI: Your priests and our priests tried to persuade me that a person becomes God's6) child only via baptism, in other words, only those will be granted eternal and endless life, who believe in Christ and are baptized7)."
Priest: Exactly!
SI: Please, be patient and listen to me carefully! When reading The Book I came across a sentence saying, "All people are divided into two groups: the GOD'S children and the Devil's children. So he who loves his brother is the GOD'S child unlike the one who is baptized but who does not love his brother is the Devil's child. That is why he who believes he is in the Light, that is, affiliates himself to the True or the Orthodox faith, and who does not love his brother is still in darkness and wanders in darkness and he does not know which way s/he goes8); since s/he is blinded by darkness9)." And I came across one more thing about it: if a person has become a wonder worker and could move mountains, speak all human and angelic languages but does not fulfill the New Commandment about fraternal equality and friendliness given by CHRIST10) he is nothing. If someone is gifted in ability to foretell and penetrate all secrets and sciences (Knowledge) and perform great wonders in the name of Christ but does not fulfill the New Commandment he is nothing (a zero)11). There is no use giving all estate to the poor12) or for the needs of the community like the first Christians13) did, or expiating your evil deeds or sins dying on fire or suffering a monkish burden if a person does not fulfill this Commandment. In short he who does not fulfill the New Commandment given by CHRIST and does not give all his estate like Anan and Saphir did that one could not be called CHRIST'S disciple or a Christian14). Therefore, Christ (YEHOWAH) loves nothing15) but fraternal16) equality.
