Dear Ukrainians, God bless you in your fight against the Devil!

Not for the first time, but for the first time since more than 100 years.

[ابوادهمالنعيمي-نظ]

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of God, the most gracious, the most mercifu
قل هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ(1)
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,
اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ(2)
Allah, the Eternal Refuge.
لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ(3)
He neither begets nor is born,
وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ(4)
Nor is there to Him any equivalent."

Some Orthodox churches use the Julian calendar, which is 13 days behind the Gregorian. Dec 25 on the Julian calendar is Jan 7 on the secular calendar. Also, the Ukrainian govt outlawed the Orthodox church and created a new state backed version.

Ukraine just gonna be Ukraine. Bye orkdom.

Watch your churches Americans. Russian orthodoxy is trying to get involved in American evangelicalism.
