Dear Mrs. Susan Eapen,
The human beings in the earth are nothing but the creation of God. In that group we can see different kind of charactors. That is in every community as well as every denominations. We the Orthodox (St. Thomas christians) are beliving in one and only God through Jesus Christ. We are taught the faith by St. Thomas the desciple of Jesus. When centuries passes the human being startrd to forget the real teachings and deviating from the correct path of our teachings irrespective of titles. Even the leadership dignatries are deviating, but htose are all prophasised in the Holy Book. The Prophasies should be fullfilled and it will. So this is the time of testifying for the faithful believer. We have to tolerate the torture. When we experience any kind of wrong in our Church then understand it is a time of testifying. The only remady is prayer. Pray for our Church that could definitly force to rectify the Church.
We are the blessed ones and not the Muslims or Hindus as you wrote. We are the blessed ones by birth as an Orthodox and it is our duty to keep the blessings. The touch of God passes through Moses, Aaron, Skariah, St. John, Jesus, St. Thomas then to us. So we are the blessed ones who received the current of touch of our Lord the God.
