Father, Son & Holy Spirit bless all
Brothers and sisters, please help me understand something. Before the resurrection, after physical death, we exist in a state where we have no remembrance of God. By Christโs death and resurrection, he โtrampled down deathโ and loosed the bonds of the captives. What does this mean in terms of what happens to us now after physical death? Do we still go to Hades to await the Final Judgment but now have remembrance of God? This is essentially the foundation of Christianity but Iโve always struggled to understand it. What is meant by the โdeathโ that Christ trampled down with His own death?
(Please forgive and ignore me if this is not an appropriate forum to ask such a question).
Deep and inspiring. One simply cannot ignore Father Spyridon. Cannot run away from the truth.
That's because that virus, it's real. But, the Lord said, be not afraid, I am with youโฆ๏ธ๐
You gave me more of an understanding about the physical death.I do have one question to ask if you could be kind enough to answer.
How does our God deal with those who died prior to the resurrection?
I needed to hear this… thank you father Spyridon.. really thank you.. God bless you..!
Thank you for your wise teachings Father. Your videos and messages have helped me immensely recently and have helped me re connect with the Lord. God bless you.
Thank you Father. Wise words as always.
I live every day in hope of death, death of this body, and the step into eternity.
I see my sin in a new light. When I sin I choose to separate myself from God. When I speak words that I know God would not have me speak I choose separation from God. Then I am choosing death. I am sorry Lord please forgive me. Today you have set before me death or life. I choose life Lord
Corona virus its lie , all was show even on london olimpics. Satan its the father of lies. All this its propaganda. And true ,people show now how scared they are from death. God bless,
Beautiful sermon Father. Death is a timely reminder of our mortality. Death is the reality and everything else in this world is vanity.
Thank you Father for this message. Greetings from Australia
Father, thank you! ๐
I'm not afraid of the Covid-19, I'm afraid of our secular AntiChrist Government that is using this virus as an excuse for creating draconian laws.
"Christ is Risen, and you, O death, are annihilated" – St John Chrysostom
Do animals go to heaven? We have lost a pet in August. He was 14 years old and we are heart broken still. We loved him so much.
Wow!!! Thanks Fr Spyridon for such a timely word… Repent isnโt just sorry iโm starting to grasp to repent is to give up all of the way of self satisfaction / efficacy etc! Itโs a narrow path & a huge undertaking. Amen & blessings from Chester UK ๐ฃ๐๐ผ๐ฏ
Lord Jesus I pray to you for the lost that the Light of Christ may shine in them!!!! The virus is a hoax for the โNew World Orderโ as they like to call it!!!! Read The Great Reset written by Klaus Schwab! The โsix six sixโ is hidden in the logo of the World Economics Forum! Itโs truth hidden in plain sight and nobody wants to wake up!!! Lord Jesus the Christ have mercy!!!
How are you going to repent when we live in this sinful-world ? We all suffer from dualism. Let me try to explain, we seek unitive consciousness in Christ. The holy moment, thought less awareness the kingdom of heaven. As a contemplative we seek stillness no thought then we are in the presence of Christ.But when we start to think we create dualism, the only way God can provide is for us to let go.To dwell in the holy moment- the past is history the future is yet to be, our egos keep us stuck in dualism/ sin
Take it from St Anthony the desert father.
Happy St. Spyridon's day father!
Thats what I see every day in this time of Coronavirus; terrified people. Terrified of death. Such people are easily manipulated by evil forces.
Orthodoxy is very convincing imho.
Thank you father.
You bring us meat and lift us up with His Word.
Much love and thanks
Christos Anestis
I rather not die, nor do I wish it on any human being. I like it on earth.
The parent and child analogy didn't really make sense to me, I know the child does not know any better so I would physically remove him or her from danger. If a child has a metal object would you let him or her put it in a electricity socket to learn a lesson knowing it mostly likely will die by doing so?
I understand what he meant when he said that but there are literal people out there like me who are more stupid and than me who will not understand or take it to an extreme or the wrong way โ๐ฝโ๐ฝ
God Bless this channel.
So blessed and happy to have found the treasure of Father Spyridon โค๏ธ

Book of Enoch 104:1 (Apocryphal Old Testament)
"I swear unto you, that in heaven the angels remember you for good before the glory of the Great One: and your names are written before the glory of the Great One. Be hopeful; for aforetime ye were put to shame through ill and affliction; but now ye shall shine as the lights of heaven, ye shall shine and ye shall be seen, and the portals of heaven shall be opened to you. And in your cry, cry for judgement, and it shall appear to you; for all your tribulation shall be visited on the rulers, and on all who helped those who plundered you. Be hopeful, and cast not away your hopes for ye shall have great joy as the angels of heaven. What shall ye be obliged to do? Ye shall not have to hide on the day of the great Judgement and ye shall not be found as sinners, and the eternal judgement shall be far from you for all the generations of the world. And now fear not, ye righteous when ye see the sinners growing strong and prospering in their ways: be not companions with them, but keep afar from their violence; for ye shall become companions [friends] of the hosts [Angels] of heaven."
๐ฃ
First Epistle of the Blessed Clement 4:27-32 (Apocryphal New Testament)
"He who covets for himself these things so great and excellent, withdraws and severs himself on this account from all the world, that he may go and live a life divine and heavenly, like the holy angels, in work pure and holy, and "in the holiness of the Spirit of God," and that he may serve God Almighty through Jesus Christ for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. On this account he severs himself from all the appetites of the body. And not only does he excuse himself from this command, "Be fruitful, and multiply," but he longs for the "hope promised" and prepared "and laid up in heaven" by God, who has declared with His mouth, and He does not lie, that it is "better than sons and daughters," and that He will give to virgins a notable place in the house of God, which is something "better than sons and daughters," and better than the place of those who have passed a wedded [married] life in sanctity, and whose "bed has not been defiled." For God will give to virgins the kingdom of heaven, as to the holy angels, by reason of this great and noble profession."

Recognitions โ The Saints Before Christโs Coming (Apocryphal New Testament):
Peter: "Whoever should be found righteous, should remain longer in the body; or, at least, as is clearly related in the writings of the law concerning a certain righteous man [Enoch?], that God translated him. In like manner others were dealt with, who pleased His will, that, being translated to Paradise, they should be kept for the kingdom. But as to those who have not been able completely to fulfil the rule of righteousness, but have had some remnants of evil in their flesh, their bodies are indeed dissolved, but their souls are kept in good and blessed abodes, that at the resurrection of the dead, when they shall recover their own bodies, purified even by the dissolution, they may obtain an eternal inheritance in proportion to their good deeds. And therefore blessed are all those who shall attain to the kingdom of Christ"

The Book of Enoch 100:5 (Apocryphal Old Testament):
"And over all the righteous and holy He will appoint guardians from amongst the holy angels to guard them as the apple of an eye, Until He makes an end of all wickedness and all sin, And though the righteous sleep a long sleep [died], they have nought to fear."

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (Canonical New Testament):
"Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lordโs word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep [died]. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words…"
