Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou:
Elder Eumenios (Saridakis) told me once:
I was praying and I said to our Christ, “My Lord, Jesus Christ I want You to save all Orthodox Christian people.” And God was glad.
Seeing that He was glad, I told Him: “Lord, why do not You save all the people of other Christian faiths? Catholics, Protestants, all who believe in Your Name but their religions have troubles. Why don’t you save all of them?” And God was glad.
After, I said: “My Jesus, what are we going to do with the Muslims, the Chinese, the people of Africa, those who do not know You or do not believe in You… Why do not You save them also my Christ… Please save them as well, the people of different religions….” And God was glad.
I gained courage and told Him: “Since You are so glad I am praying in this way, my Christ, save all people! The ancient idolaters and [all men] from Adam up until now all men You created on earth. All of them, please, my Christ save them!” And God was glad beyond comparison.
Then I gained even more courage and I told Him: “Since You are so glad, why do not You save Judas…? And why do not You save the devil so we can all rest, so he can rest who is tortured by his evil doings…” And God was saddened…
“He was saddened?”
“Yes, God was saddened…”
“Why was He saddened?”
“For Judas and for the devil. Because all the previous men I was begging Him for had a shred of will to be saved and to know Christ and love Him. But Judas and the devil do not have a shred of [such] will. And there is one thing God cannot do: He cannot violate anybody’s will!”
This is one of the most shocking things, I have ever heard from a man of God in my entire life.

Αμήν! Ευλογείτε, Δέσποτα!
I personally prayed to God to forgive the Jews and the Muslims (yesterday on His day) to forgive them for they don't know what they're doing and have been brainwashed by false words
That's exactly why the doctrine of universal salvation has been condemned in the Vth Ecumenical Synod, along with all origenist errors. God's love is a true love and a just love : he cannot force human wills to love him and search for him. A love that imposes itself on the wills of others is not a true love. A love that does not recompense each one according to his works (as Christ says) is not a just love. Hence the evangelical words : "You will be measured with the measure with which you have measured, you will be judged according to the way you yourself have judged. If you cannot forgive others, neither shall I forgive you. If you do not remember me and my name, neither shall I remember you." God is Love and Justice. Forgiveness implies repentance. St Peter failed, but repented. Judas failed, but fell into despair, and killed himself. It is not failure which is fatal to our salvation, but our lack of repentance for failures, our lack of hope and confidence in God.
Εντέλει θα κάνετε πανθρησκεια; ,βλέπω φτιάξατε και ιστορίες,δυστυχώς μακάρι όλοι να σώζονταν ,αλλά η πίστη του Χριστού παραδόθηκε στους Αποστόλους και στους πατέρες και παρήγγειλε ,ούτε ένα ιώτα να μην αλλάξει από τα λόγια τού.
🤮!
Blasfemie!
Πολύ όμορφα λόγια. Έτσι ακριβώς είναι. Πρέπει από μόνοι μας να έχουμε τη θέληση να μετανοήσουμε, να πιστέψουμε, να σωθούμε. Με το ζόρι δεν γίνεται τίποτα. ✝️❤️

Why using 'cannot' is he really say 'God cannot', i think it would be proper if he said 'God would not', please correct me 🙏
Domnul sa va răsplătească pentru traduceri,Domnul sa va răsplătească! 🙏
When I remember well, Elder Paisios was once asked how God will save all those not knowing Christ.
Elder Paisios said: "Every human get the chance to be saved. No matter who he is or where or what religion. How He will do it is a Mystery."
That was not what I was expecting at all. Beautiful, sad and sobering.
Our God be praised
Are there time-limits to forgiveness or just resistance from those who at some point in the future will seek reconciliation with God?
Oh, Christ worshipers! We want an answer to our question from your wise.
If the Lord was murdered by some people’s act…what sort of god is this?
We wonder! Was He pleased by what they did to Him? If yes,
blessed be they..they achieved the pleasure of His
But if He was discontented….this means their power subjugated His!!
Was the whole entity left without a Sustainer… so who answered the prayers?
Were the heavens vacated…when He laid under the ground somewheres?
Were all the worlds left without a God…to manage while His hands were nailed?
Why did not the angles help Him when they heard him while he wailed?
How could the rods stand to bear the True Lord when He was fastened
How could the iron reach Him and His body pinioned?
How could His enemies’ hands reach Him and slap His rear
And was Christ revived by himself…or the Reviver was another god?
What a sight it is!A grave that enclosed a god!
What’s more weird is the belly that had Him in it!
He stayed there for nine months in utter darkness…fed by blood!
Then he got out of the womb as a small baby,
weak and gaping to be breastfed!
He ate and drank, and did what that naturally resulted in
Is this a god??!!
High Exalted be Allah above the lies of Christians
All of them will be held accountable for their libels
Oh cross worshipers…for what reason is it exalted
and blamed who rejects it?
Is it not the logic to break and burn it along with the one who innovated it?
Since the Lord was crucified on it…and his hands were fastened to it?
That is really a cursed cross to carry…so discard it
Don’t kiss it!
The Lord was abused on it…and you adore it?
So you are one of His enemies!!
If you extol it because it carried the Lord of the worlds
why don’t you prostrate yourself and worship graves,
since the grave contained your god in it?
So, Christ worshiper, open your eyes,
this is what the matter is all about.
He Was Truly Prophet and Messenger of God . Islam
Our Living God is Almighty, He can save whoever he wants whether they are willing to be saved or not. However, if He decides not to save them, it is His choice mostly because his wisdom and way of thinking is different from us humans who are so small and weak compared to him.
It is a sin to say that God cannot save those who are unwilling to be saved because it means that our God is not able to do something! I pray that the our Eternal Father YHVH, our Beloved Yashua, and our Holy Spirit provides this man with wisdom of a believe to come to his senses and realize that our Living God, our One and Only God is ALMIGHTY, and can do anything he chooses to do!
I often pray the very same thing. When I was a child I would finish off every night before sleep praying finally for everyone "even Hitler" to be given a choice when he could be in no doubt about God and Jesus because then no one would choose to do wrong. I am less naive now and I have fallen away and returned from my own prodigal journey but I still pray much the same. I have a similar hope but I maybe am less discerning of God's response than this elder Christian. However his report does not surprise me.
Ephesians 6:4
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Kyrie Eleison!
He is talking about a not so widely known holy man, namely Gerontas Eumenios Saridakis. Saint Porfurios said about him he was the unknown Saint of the century (or something like that).

THIS PRIEST IS SO STUPID….HE IS EVIL…
Ο ΝΕΟΦΥΤΟΣ ΛΕΕΙ ΜΟΝΟ ΒΛΑΚΕΙΕΣ, ΗΛΙΘΙΟΤΗΤΕΣ, ΑΣΥΝΑΡΤΗΣΙΕΣ ΚΑΙ ΑΡΛΟΥΜΠΕΣ…
Doamne ajută! Părinte! Dumnezeu să vă binecuvânteze cu al Său Har și Dar azi, mâine și întotdeauna! Amin!
Bine este cuvântat cel ce vine întru numele Domnului! Amin! 👏 👏 👏
So the answer is they're not saved and are compared to the devil and judas?
Slava Tie Dumnezeu nostru, slava Tie! ♥️
I have always imagined Judas as being overcome with guilt in killing himself. Likely, because this is how it is dramatized in movies. Recently I read a comment on Twitter where someone speculated if Judas hadn't despaired and killed himself he could have been forgiven by The Lord after his Resurrection. Judas having no will to be forgiven or know Christ never occurred to me.
Thank You.
So if i'm not Orthodox i am doomed as a Catholic?? Catholics say the same of other Christian faiths..
