Parthenius, Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa 
(Article from "Epignosi" December 1989, #20, Thessalonica, Greece)

 
 
          Parthenius, Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa, one of the four Patriarchs which all the New Calendarists honor and commemorate publicly, declared the following:

 
"The prophet Mohammed is an apostle. He is a man of God, who worked for the Kingdom of God and created Islam, a religion to which belong one billion people. . . . Our God is the Father of all men, even of the Moslems and Buddhists. I believe that God loves the Moslems and the Buddhists. . . . When I speak against Islam or Buddhism, then I am not found in agreement [concord?] with God. . . . My God is the God of other men also. He is not only God for the Orthodox. This is my position."
(Orthodoxos Typos, Issue Number 854, Athens, Greece)

 
 
          This is the public confession of the Patriarch of all Africans, who have been recently brought to "Orthodoxy" by the "Orthodox" missionaries of our days.

          So "Mohammed is an apostle" and the new - martyrs, then, are "not found in agreement [concord?] with God."

          We also believe, sir Parthenius, that God is the Father of all men and that He loves both the Moslems and the Buddhists. God loves mankind, but He does not love falsehood and deception. He loves the Moslems and Buddhists, but He does not love Mohammedism and Buddhism. All Christians do the same. They love the sinner but hate the sin. They love the heretics but hate the heresy. They love the deceived but hate the deception. The Freemasons, of course, have a different opinion. They love all the errors and all the deceptions upon the earth, but they hate the real Orthodox Christians. In any case, all they who commemorate you, Parthenius, as an Orthodox Patriarch without themselves consciously serving the New Age and World Dominion are worthy of tears.

          He writes [you write?] that your "God" is the God of other men, theMoslems, and the Buddhists and the rest. But of what God [do you] does he speak? Assuredly, not of Christ, since these all deny Christ. But ifhe means [you mean] the "Great Architect of the Universe", then we have no objection. Indeed, it is this god who he means [you mean] undoubtedly, for he is really the "god" of all the religions of the world, who is none other than your leader, Lucifer.
