In this homily, Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou recounts what a demon answered through the mouth of a possessed man about the Mother of God (Theotokos): “Whatever she asks of Him, He grants her the favor. Why? Because she ‘lent’ Him what He did not have. Because she ‘lent’ Him a body! And He is always indebted to her”.

Jesus is the greatest!!!! … he alone is great!! He who became flesh is the greatest of all, … he has NO” equal.
Why is this man teaching what a demon said? If this isn't doctrine of demons then what is. My fellow brothers we are all wonderfully and fearfully made, and there is only one mediator between man and The Father, only one perfect Sacrifice worthy enough to satisfy God's perfect and just wrath, and that is Jesus, He doesn't ask anything but acknowledgment of sin and the full knowledge that there's nothing that we can do to make ourselves worthy. That is the Good News, "It is done".
…I'm sure the demon was telling the truth…
Beautiful God bless all
Kyrie Eleison.
Demons speak truth when confronted with humility as they are made of pride. The demon here hated the priest not only because Christ would forgive him, but because this priest asked for repentance. Every demon confronted with Holiness spoke truth in scripture.
Father please help these poor blind ones who pray to the dead.
Christ is our high priest in heaven who ever lives to make intercession for us.
God is not "in debt" to a human. If God gives what Mary asks it's because He loves her. How can you say that our Lord is in debt with a creation? If Mary had a body was by God's grace. This Mary honoring that both orthodox and roman have is what is giving me doubts in what religion to choose.
What a load of utter crap. And they believe the demons, the masters of deceit. You prefer to hear their lies rather than hear Jehovah's truth. Mary is dead, in hell, which is the grave!!! She's not in heaven granting favours 🤣
Classic Jewish rhetoric confusing Catholicism and Christianity. Hahaha

How about when God appeared to Avram? Who lent Him a body then?
God is not indebted to any human – not even Mary. This is what happens when tradition overshadows what the Bible teaches.
You know there is something when 'the thing said' He is 'always indebted' to 'her'.
How could he not notice?
Do discuss this with brothers & ask for understanding to the most generous & merciful, the True God most High.
Those who heard this, please pray for this man & to all the people who are also in dim light. May the True God, the Holy Intercessor be known truly to each & everyone of us His children.
Sir
You can not BELIEVE anything the devil's say
They lie always
Anyway Hail Mary Full of Grace
NOT BIBLICAL. NOWHERE IN THE HOLY WORD ARE YOU TOLD TO TURN TO MARY OR ANYONE ELSE!!! THE ONLY WAY T O THE ABBA FATHER IS THROUGH THE SON, PERIOD. KEEP GOING WITH THE MARY OR SAINT WORSHIP AND SEE WHERE IT LANDS YOU. HEED THE WARNING OR DON'T. TIME IS TOO SHORT TO BE BELIEVING DECEPTIONS AND LIES. TURN FROM WICKED DECEIVERS. THE BIBLE INTERPRETS ITSELF. THERE IS NO PRIVATE INTERPRETATION… THAT IS BIBLICAL!!!
Getting doctrine from demons now. The bible says in the book of Hebrews that God prepared Jesus a body, not Mary. Remember according to Jesus, Satan's first, middle and last name is LIAR.
Blessed be the priest who has the way to teach me of things which have never entered my mind. Of course the evil one wants to become a man. (h)e wants to equal Jesus but does not have the power. God is truely great!
Demons are liars. Don’t listen to the doctrines of demons!
The only way to the Father is through Jesus, not Mary. Jesus did not hold Mary in special reverence so neither should we:
“While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him. But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.””
Matthew 12:46-50
The Romans turned the church into a pagan mother-child cult. The RC Father, Son and Mary are actually Baal, Tammuz and Ishtar. The Queen of Heaven is Ishtar.
Why do I do the same sins then kick myself for not being stong in faith my lord my god forgive me for I'm a sinner lord have mercy on me
I'm scratching my head on this one. In one way it makes complete sense. I know that the evil one knows even if you say she who we mean. It's both tragic and scary but also hopeful to know that the Blessed Mother is always with us. I'm not sure exactly yet why I happened to see this but I'm sure it has meaning for me somewhere in my life. We are weak and we do sin. And by God's grace we are redeemed again when we confess. We take so much for granted everyday with God's love and with the Blessed mothers care for us. May we always remember her love surrounds us like a good mother would. Only this mother is celestial and the mediatrix. Thank you for posting this
Τι ειναι σοφοτερο, και συνετόταιρο, να ακούμε το κήρυγμα του Δι@βόλου και τον δ@ιμονίων του, ή το κήρυγμα Του Ιησού Χριστού και των αποστόλων Του; Να ακούμε τον Δι@βόλο(& και την ανθρώπινη
για να μην πω δ@ιμονικήπαράδοση) που προσπαθεί να μας πείσει ότι η Μαριάμ μεσιτεύει για τον Κύριο, ή το Άγιο Ευαγγέλιο που λέει : "Κι ό,τι ζητήσετε στο όνομά Μου, θα το κάνω, ώστε η δόξα του Πατέρα να φανερωθεί μέσω του Υιού. 14Αν ζητήσετε κάτι στο όνομά Μου, εγώ θα το πραγματοποιήσω».(Ιησούς-Κατα Ιωάννην Ευαγγέλιο 14:13), "..Ένας είναι ο Θεός κι Ένας ο μεσίτης μεταξύ Θεού και ανθρώπων, ο άνθρωπος Ιησούς Χριστός, 6που πρόσφερε τη ζωή του λύτρο για χάρη όλων".(A Τιμοθεον 2:5)I'm a bit confused. Demons used to possess people since before the time of Christ and they didn't have Jesus' embodiment example to follow at the time so what was their motivation back then if it wasn't about substituting their inability to become demon-men ? Also, Jesus is not the same as the Holy Spirit, but the demon would be the same as his progeny with a woman, so he'd be both progeny and progenitor at the same time, which doesn't make sense. Additionally, we know from the Old Testament that demons bred with women and they gave birth to giants. So why is the demon in this story complaining that he was not allowed to do so anymore ? Is it because there would be a need for another flood to wipe out these giants again ?
For the sake of the Virgin Mary Lord have mercy on us.
Christos is real the Virgin Mary is real no joke my people. Come home!!! Thanks for sharing.
Holy fathers always advises not to listen what demons say and have no any discussions with them
Thank you thank you, praise God
""The knees of Mary have withered from praying for all of you."
"Once, when St. Iakovos [of Evia] was casting out demons from a wretched demoniac, his ears heard: 'Hey Iakovos, you should know! The knees of Mary have withered from praying for all of you.'
What are we doing? Are we worthy of these prayers or do we fall and get carried away from our passions and fall into sin? And if we fall, do we go afterwards to kneel under the stole of a spiritual father, that our sins might be washed away? Because, we will have to give an account for our deeds, our desires, our thoughts…so while there is still time, let us repent! Let us change our way of thinking and our way of life, to enter into the space of our Church. She is the ark of our salvation, that we might partake of the Spotless Mysteries, in Confession and Divine Communion, and when we commune, we become even more closely related to our Panagia, because our Panagia hosted within her womb the Son of God and her Son, and when we commune, we host, we give a dwelling-place within us, within our body, to God, like our Panagia."
-Quote from a sermon of Elder Gabriel of St. David's Monastery in Evia on the Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos"
Forgive me, but I would assume that the demon would lie. He is a demon so why would he tell the truth?
This is #Intense
