There is only one Church, the Orthodox. Ours is the Church founded by our Lord. There is no other. In nearby Exeter I'm often confronted by the statue of Richard Hooker who propounded the "branch" theory. This man was a heretic, his ideas were heretical. We can never accept a substitute for the one, true, Holy and Apostolic Church ☦
I wish you could speak with Pope Francis and his Curia…you have a wonderful demeanor. So sad how the See of St Peter has been entangled in so many problems.
Correct, except you failed to state we must be TRUE Orthodox Christians, distinguishing ourselves from the ecumenist misnomered "Orthodox" Member "Churches" of the World Council of Churches (Constantinople, Moscow, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Georgia, America, Finland, Cyprus, Antioch, Jerusalem, Alexandria, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Moldova, Portugal, Montenegro and others, including the condemned Cyprianites who faksely claim the ecumenist New Calendarists have grace.
how many times must Paul reiterate that it is "through faith alone", yet we still get videos like this? And how many times must Paul state that it is "not of works", so it is not of baptism or an esoteric church enchristening? I will stick to Paul's words, and live by faith alone.
I thank God everyday for making me part of such a genuine body of believers in His Church! I absolutely love our bishop and our priests for their wholehearted commitment in keeping our Holy Faith pure! Praises and glory to our God forever! Thank you Fr. Spyridon! 🙏
Why then do you belong to that part of the ROCOR that united with the Red Patriarchate in 2008? Do you think they repented sufficiently? Are they not in the WCC? Did your 1st hierarch not issue a joint statement with the Pope as "sister churches" a few years ago?
Thank you Father.
Absolutely right, Father. It's this New Age one world religion at the root of cultural marxism.
Now that Vatican is outed for it's satanism, they are sending Jesuits to infiltrate True Apostolic Ortodox Church in form of Ecumenism.
Love from Serbia , to you Father and all our brothers and sisters all over the world.❤️❤️❤️☦️
Not to disagree so much as seek clarification, but when you dismiss this branch theory on the basis that making divisions in the church is blasphemy, I think you could look at it instead as recognising different parts of one body, which Paul talks about. I'd be interested in how you might parse ecumenism with this in mind.
Thank you Father. Amen! Unity can only be achieved if it's foundation is the solid and absolute TRUTH of the pure, unpolluted, ORTHODOX FAITH once delivered! ☺🙏
Let us cast away false ecumenism and embrace TRUE ecumenism. The inevitable union of the Catholic and Orthodox Churches. Let us aside cultural and political quarrels
Excellent high yield and Truth☦️☦️☦️
This video is very relevant in these pre-apocalyptic times. Satan's heresies against Christ's Orthodox Church have attacked the tenets of the Creed in almost the same exact order in which they appear. In this final onslaught the attack is against the words "I believe in One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church." Through ecumenism Satan is inviting every last heresy to honor itself in place of the Church, so it's hell's most virulent heresy to date. It's been stated that once the one-world government is ushered in, anyone who speaks against ecumenism will be imprisoned.
Would the one true church have waited 375 years after America was discovered to plant its first church? While in the meantime the gospel was being preached to all peoples throughout the whole continent, was no one saved, and all of them heretics without a hope?
Ortodox is only real way,other religions believe in God on wrong way,and all of tham hate Ortodox
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAITHFUL WORDS …MAY GOD PROTECT HIS CHURCH FROM WITHIN AND FROM WITHOUT. AMEN
As always father your words are healing God bless you
Catholic Church is a heart of Truth in this world.. unless some pope will change it, I hope not..
I am confused. Can someone help me: what is Western Rite Orthodoxy? Is it different from orthodoxy is western countries?
0:21, the church does not belong to man, but God!
1:29, the church is the body of Christ, it cannot be divided.
2:21, the church is not many but one, etc.
That’s a true statement because Christ Himself said that, “I will build my church…” not churches (Matt.16)!
6:15, quotations of the saints.
3:12, the ecumenical movement.
3:58, Chiliasm, the Millennial.
5:01, the heart of Orthodoxy.
This message by brother Spyridon is what historic orthodoxy believes!
5:50, the purpose of the Church.
