after a long atheist period under the Communist rule. It was forbidden to take even one´s own Bible to Soviet Union on one´s visit. Religion was poison to the Communists, who turned their beautiful orthodox churches into cinemas and horse-stables or to barns!
Putin cleared all that out and the old churches have been restored to their ancient golden glory and services in them held again. Russians believe in G-D again...even Putin! Today´s news from Russia tells that teaching Christian doctrine in schools has been added in the curriculum as a compulsory subject in all public schools.
The NT bases on the teachings of a Jewish man: it indeed would be contradictory to embrace only the Moslems and show anti-semitism to Israel! What message would that send to the Russians, who love both Jesus and Putin nowadays? Putin´s popularity would very fast sink! This generous offer is also very smart and will keep the new Russian PM, Putin that is, in power for a long time to come. |
