Greece is on Euro-welfare and must also contend with these primitive religious beliefs? Haven't the Greeks noticed that the most successful, peaceful, well-adjusted countries are those that have the least religion.
OK, Cleareye. So do you have any particular "peaceful, well-adjusted countries" in mind because if you're talking about the UK, I think you need a better pair of glasses or maybe you stay at home too much!
The countries that kill innocent children before they breathe God's air are not at peace, are failures in God's eyes which is Truth and have no future, as they will learn soon
Bravo for the people of Greece! @Cleareye- The countries that have the most problems are those of little faith. The Greek Orthodox faith is what made Greece. Greek people do not need new ID cards, or new ways so that the government can trace their every move. I'm sorry that you are so consumed with American propaganda......... But the country of Greece says NO to the new ID card!
The Greek people know the truth. The I.D. card is another BIG step into implementing anti-christ control over the people. Greeks will never accept this. The Greeks have deep roots in the Christian faith and that faith will prevail over the New World Order system the International Bankers are forcing upon the nations of the world.
Someone actually read what is written? And understood??? Wow!! People are bewitched -mesmerized- by religion. 666: It's a human number - not of th devil - and in it there is wisdom, Revelations 13:18. 666: It's the number of prosperity -1 Kings 10:14 and 2 Chronicles 9:13. 666: It's a number that identifies God's / Adonikam's children -Ezra 2:13. 666: It's a seal of love towards God, in your mind and also on your body -Songs 8:6. 666: It's the sign of immortality, honor, and the riches of the Man Christ Jesus -Proverbs 3:16.

Irini Papahiu, if you read Revelations 13:18, it actually says clearly, "Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the NUMBER OF THE BEAST; for it is the number of a man: and HIS NUMBER IS SIX HUNDRED AND SIXTY AND SIX."
And where is Solomon speaking of the seal in his 8th song? Verse 6: "Set me as a seal upon thne heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame."
And Proverbs??? "Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour."
I don't know who these people are that you're listening to... But may I suggest you read more Biblical interpretations from Orthodox Holy Fathers, who were filled with the Grace of the Holy Spirit, rather than people who are filled with the spirit of the world?
God Bless!
