VIDEO: Hieromonk Gabriel – Greatest Temptation for Orthodox Christians

30 thoughts on “VIDEO: Hieromonk Gabriel – Greatest Temptation for Orthodox Christians”

1. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God have mercy on me, a sinner.Amen!

2. Apparently it is a sin to wear a cross as it is idolatry, is this true?

3. IF we think of Christianity as a social endeavor, we are totally fooling ourselves. IF we realize that Christ calls each of us to become His, and enter into a relationship with Him, IF we DARE to do that, then everything else, is secondary. True Christianity is about Faithfulness. God BLess you all

4. When you or I feel temptation coming in with in our heart or mind say this, satan get behind and lord have on me. Then say this prayer Our Father and We believe in One God ,the more you practice saying it this will you resist , but satan will continue accordingly in your mind to continue to temp you or I. Everything is psychological in the mind since the beginning of Eve and Adam. Read the Holy scriptures from Genesis then you will understand why it's from psychological then through the flesh.

5. Wow. Truth is spoken to us .we know it

6. Our Lord Jesus Christ says, "if the world hates you remember that it has hated me first." Now I ask you all a question: Did our Lord Jesus Christ shut down his public Ministry because the world did not see his value? No. He did not. He often said he loves to do the will of his father in Heaven. Our lord Jesus loves to love us.

   Please allow me to ask you another question: When our lord Jesus was already torn to shreds and bearing a crown of thorns which was forced onto his skull and he was bleeding from every inch of his body, did he lay down and stop permanently after the first time that he fell under the weight of The Cross? No. His heart was inflamed with love for his Almighty father and for us. He fell down and stood up two more times while legitimately bleeding to death.

   The primary job of a monk is to keep the world turning with prayers and reparations to God the Father, through our Lord Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit.

   Our Lord Jesus Christ says, man cannot live by bread alone but, by every word out of the mouth of God.

   Our lord Jesus Christ never lost an opportunity to teach. How is it then, this Monk did not use this 5 minutes to feed us the Living Word of God to help us fight temptation which is, as I understand it, the ordinary power of Satan?

   One cannot be a Christian implying that oneself is a square peg in the round hole of society and not immediately speak of spiritual warfare. There is a war waging for our souls. What is Temptation if it is not a tool of warfare? Spiritual warfare?

   I would have loved to hear this Monk pray the Our Father in the language of his church. Oh well.

   Where is the spiritual Dimension here in this video? It's not here.

7. Greetings from the Coptic Orthodox Church of Australia 🇦🇺🇪🇬✝️

8. NIL DOROBANTU was a romanian monk who has been persecuted by the communist state Orthodox Church and killed for his faith. He proclaimed the poverty vow saying : "in the past the chalise was of wood and hearts of gold…and today vice-versa"….The worst is the satanic masons penetration at the top hyerarchy of the Church which The Virgin at Fatima foretold.

9. 3:09 – Yes, yes! I'm willing to "LAY DOWN my cross." 😂😂
   (But we know what he means.)

10. The Roman Catholic Church under the Vatican 2 Sect and Francis has totally lost the way of the Lord. I pray for them,i leave them, and hope to find hope and the lord under the Orthodox Church who saw what was going to come of Rome in 1054.

11. The "double-mindedness" of which Hm. Gabriel speaks is perfectly exemplified by the speech and behavior of Orthodox hierarchs, especially in the U.S.

12. The orthodox reguire to live by the word. Not some fake material oriented sect. Yea. Where the original Christianity. Definitely not the southern bantists and other crazy man made religion ., Yes sir. God bless all

13. He makes a very important point. May God help us.

14. I've never understood why anyone should care what someone else thinks of them.

    I'll be damned, literally, if I let someone of the world lecture me on my life. Orthodox Christians, and many others, need to remember that their lukewarm faith is what's allowed the environment we see today.

15. Exista pseudostiinta, facuta de oameni de stiinta corupti, care imping stiinta in directii gresite care oricum duc la infundatura, contradictii, dificultati. Stiinta autentica are un fir, o logica, o viziune, e unitara, simpla, estetica, ideatia divina a creatiei unui singur Dumnezeu. La fel si in teologie, chiar cu dualisme de tip cuantic.

16. Well it is a problem for every Christian because the concept of the cross is not understood and this a pagan place.

17. what is he saying at 5:54 ? fools for Christ? foods for Christ ?

18. This tension exists for ALL Christians.

19. Come back to Rome! Strive for unity.

20. Very sad and pessimistic teaching here. Life is alive with the presence of God’s love, even in the darkest places. Our duty as Christians is to see and be that love to the world, not hiding away or scorning society with judgements we are not qualified to make.

21. Orthodoxy is the church of Jesus Christ

22. As a Catholic, I'm pleased to see how close we are. This teaching is the teaching of both Orthodox and Catholic Church.
    We were one Church and God will restore our unity. Not the way we want but his way. All we need to do is to pray hard, humble ourselves and see each other as brothers under the Lord.

    Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us sinners

    Holy Mary, Blessed mother of God, pray for us sinners

    All of us baptized in the he name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, pray for unity and true brotherly love between us.

    God bless Hieromok Gabriel
    God bless us all

23. I do not understand your concern.
    There is no conflict between current time and Orthodox Christianity way of life. It is simple, universal and applicable to any situation or time. As Orthodox Christian you are expected to develop your intellectual and emotional abilities to personal maximum. Once developed, approach every life situation/work with balance of emotions and intellect. Never just one side as if to intellectual it will be cold, sharp and inhuman and if only emotional then you will never have discipline to finish any job.

24. I don't trust the media so I do not accept what they say and it saddens me how people get foolded so much. I really believe God is in me. I'm always praying and God answers my prayers to keep my mom safe ( she is far away from us right now and our circumstances will hopefully end soon. in 2 yrs I ask God please send us to Greece to be with her so we can be a whole family.

25. I really don’t think our culture has ever been Christian. If we can get our minds wrapped around that then I think it would be easier to live in the world but not be of it.

26. I wish i lived closer to an Orthodox Church, I’m 80+ miles away from any of them. “(

27. Only solution is to read. You have to make what is implicit explicit again.

28. "We lack that distain for the praise of the world that the fools for Christ possessed."

29. That's quite a devastating assessment, that it's no longer possible – in these times – to live outwardly respectable in the eyes of society and still be a faithful Christian.

30. “I think it’s clear that our society has progressed far beyond that point …” Ironic but fitting that he used the word “progressed” to describe the harrowing state of moral and social decay and depravity we are witnessing with our own eyes—and all of it coming from a sinister, nihilistic worldview masquerading as so-called “progress”. He’s absolutely correct. Moments of Truth await us all, every day, every hour.
