Was he the ideal rasputin or what rasputin should've been?

Elémire Zolla, a prominent Italian scholar, wrote an interesting article on this subject. It is in Italian, but you can use automatic translation.

>made up catholic bullshit

christians literally believe these grifters that tell them that they prayed to a statue of mary and it breastfed them with holy milk lol

Completely different beasts, Rasputin was who he was. And Mr. John of Krondstadt was who he was. Though if you allow me, I do think both of them are expressions of the same religious instinct, so to speak.

He is a 100% russian orthodox priest but yeah, Catholic and Orthodox churches are the only streams were the real Tradition flows.

He spoke out against the jews/communists of his time. It was said that he evoked very powerful and effective prayers, held communions of large mass. Though his practices were observed to be "odd" he demonstrated outstanding faith. He received a lot of criticism from left and right political parties until he was summoned by tsar Alexander III (to which they promptly stfu).
There folks, here is a great example of a man who does not back down to faggots, jews or midwit slaves.

to a non believer or to a christian with little faith these things are just "schizo" babble.
I don't know about the breast milk thing but levitation,multiplication of food, bilocation , these very specific spiritual gifts and psychic phenomena from that age, are not limited to catholic and orthodox saints. Yogis,siddhas,sufis all talked about the same esoteric feats, hidden human abilities or purposely forgotten after the flood. The true esoteric power of religion is in it's traditional root.

John Of Kronstadt is a based orthodox saint, dumbshit.

Now I want to read a "Plutarch's Parallel Lives" style book on these two

>>41117997 (OP)

I want to believe so bad that these things are possible and true, and while, (at least during my "better" days of me being a 'Christian') I do believe Jesus Christ is capable of these things, it's hard for me to accept other people could be as well, which proves of a demon influence or whatever stuff that doubt is, yet it's logical doubt is it not?

Multiplication of food could very well be cunningly stashed food somewhere else.

Levetation, I mean they wear robes so that wouldn't be hard to fabricate.

Raising of the dead could just be two good friends pulling legs.

Clairvoyance and foreknowledge is just observational skills of humans which are extremely predictable if you pay attention and know how your own mind works first.

I don't mean to bash or disprove, just these things are what anybody with half of a grain questions themselves and God with when it comes to believing this stuff, but not to say, that these things happening wouldn't be extremely cool to say the least, I just feel since cameras and modern day stuff came around, all the wizards left, ya know?


For what it's worth, God Bless you All, may God have mercy and grace upon us, and may Jesus Christ, the Son of God, forgive us for our sins.

Peace and love, muthafucks.

Many of these things are usually not done by will and have almost a will if its own if you use it for evil it will simply go away, it cannot be recorded and if you try it nothing will be visible on camera, they work on a higher plane and technology it's nothing compared to it, these things can be faked yes, and there are literally pawns of the devil saying they have these gifts (look at all charlatans in tv shows) But I'm a little more old, I've come from a more traditional place that still in peace with nature and will not get in details but I've personally knew an old native brazilian woman who did things like that.
She would tell you to pick some random pebble from the ground and hold it firm in your hand and she would just do a prayer and the pebble would dissppear from your hand, no physical interaction on her part, and she did healings as well.


>I do believe Jesus Christ are capable of these things, it's hard for me to accept other people could be as well.

***JOHN 14:12***

Have faith,Anon. There are charlatans claims? Absolutely. Are there people in this world capable of doing weird things? Yes! have no doubt about it.
