Thank you so much for another great Video!
God bless you for this work!
God bless the mouths of Christ's Holy Saints! No matter how long ago they spoke, their words remain as relevant as ever! Thank you so much for posting this 👍☺
Outstanding video, thank God! This really hit home for me. I’m cradle orthodox, but fell away from the church in my teens and became atheist. The “rational” mind took over for most of my life. It created some deep wounds that I’m I still trying to uproot. I finally decided to stop rejecting God and came back to orthodoxy about 7 months ago. I had such a false sense what life should be. The struggle is now real, but well deserved. Lord have mercy on me an unworthy sinner. ☦️
Always and always we have to come back to the Scriptures and the Holy Fathers. Much confusion exists in the Church in the ecumenistic times. Paganism also is causing erroneous beliefs.
Lord, save thy people and bless thine inheritance 🙏🙏🙏
I posted this video and got a reply stating:
“Interesting point – if monkeys are our ancestor, we experience the pride of progress, but if sinless Adam is our ancestor, we’ve got serious explaining to do”.
Not sure what they were trying to say. Couldn’t get clarification. Anyone care to try to explain or debunk?
Which Council anathematized evolution?
