What is ECUMENISM and Why is it a Spiritual DANGER???

videoJay Dyer2025-10-23watch ↗

In his critique of ecumenism, Jay Dyer argues that the push for unity within Christianity, particularly by the Roman Catholic Church, is more influenced by geopolitical motivations than by genuine theological agreement. He draws parallels with historical attempts at union, like the failed union of Florence, to highlight how these efforts can undermine true faith. Dyer contends that the current challenges facing the Orthodox Church reflect political pressures rather than authentic theological concerns, emphasizing that a faction within the Church is seeking recognition from higher authorities primarily for political gain. He insists that the pursuit of faith should be grounded in truth rather than shaped by political ambitions.
