Re: Response to an article in Malankara Deepam

It is very difficult to bring peace and harmony in two divisions of
orthodox church In India.Unity is too far as long as both divisions
stick on their stands/beliefs
Now each Division have their own constituition and Instituitions.
The best thing each division can do in order to prevail and preserve
peace and harmony to sacrifise themselves. this means what each
divisions have in their possession to keep and maintain it. No more
dispute over churches/seminary/ and other properties.Just follow an
example of Abraham and Lot in Genesis 13

The present or current dispute in both divisons is not based on true
faith(apostolic teaching).Dispute arose from Money(wealth ie
Vattipana case) and Position/ Seat. (Shreshta Catholica Bessalios
PauloseII wanted the big seat in Malankara sabha as he was not
selected as the catholicate designate in 1971 by the managing
committe then) consequently the Antioch Partriach excommunicated the
Catholicose Besalios Augen I together with other bishops on baseless
and un biblical grounds. The Jacobite division also challenged the
validty of Malankara Methran in the court and they failed. they
(Jacobite) accept the constitution 1934 of Malankara Sabha on
condition that Partriarch of Antioch is the supreme Primate/Head of
Malankara Sabha.The peace and reconciliation took place in 1958 after
the supreme court judgement was mere gimmick by the Partriarch of
antioch(.or by his supporters in Malankara)Apostle Peter never claimed
that he is the supreme head of christ church in earth.All desciples
of christ are equal as they are co-workers in Christ. They are
promised each thrones of Judgement for 12 tribes of Israel on 2nd
coming of Jesus.
As Christ said Love your Enemies,If somene wants to sue and take your
tunic,let him have your cloak as well!(Mathew 5:.40)
if we apply these teachings of Christ now there will be peace and
harmony in Malankara.
