1. Great stuff father! I have a question. What bible should I use? Of course, Scripture is best used in context of divine liturgy. But what would be a good English speakers bible?

2. i follow u from eastern orthodox church

3. from eritrea

4. I have often struggled with doubt, not only doubting God’s existence but also the truth that He loves me. The idea that we must step beyond the limits of our personal psychology has resonance with me, for it is my experience with my fellow humans that has given me these issues and by reaching beyond myself to the Lord He can strengthen my trust.
   Thank you for your videos father…they are informative and faith strengthening. I love the ringing of the church bells at the end, very meditative and powerful. What recording are they from?

5. May your prayer and blessing be upon me, Amen. Many greetings from Ethiopia.

    Господи Исусе Христе, Cыне Божий, помилуй мя грешнаго, Аминь!

12. Thank you Father – Glory to Jesus Christ

13. We all have doubts, particularly while pursuing to know God, we stumble in our weak state of humanity. Where we can sense the world around us, and the world is real, albeit, tangible & palpable.

    But the deeper we pursue to KNOW our Lord, Savior Jesus Christ in friendship of the true meaning surrounding what He willfully did for us & desires for us, we unveil smthg that has less doubts.

    What I mean is, the more I have walked with Christ, through scripture & seeking questions & within daily prayer, I see the divinity within myself, and within my brothers amd sisters, and even my enemies. To imitate Christ, we begin to see what He saw, and what He continues to see, and what the Fsther desires.

    Everything else simply becomes fleeting in life
    All pleasures and vanity is fleeting.
    All beauty in life IS fleeting

    But Gods loving touch upon all things IS INVISIBLE, YET ETERNAL.

    God is invisible, and we became the visible expression of God.
    Christ became the TRUE visible expression of God, the invisible, so we may know, "love one another as I have loved you. & if you have done unto the least of your brethren, know it is Me you have done unto."
    Therefore, God is everywhere!

    Get to know God, and you'll be transformed in time through doubts and discipline & OBEDIENCE, to see God everywhere
    GOD IS ALIVE,
    HE'S ALIVE!

    AMEN & ALLELUIA!!!

14. Blessed again… The truth doesn't age, fade or loose it's vitality… Nice one Fr Spyridon! 110% /

15. Lord have mercy on didymus… now and ever from ages unto ages…

16. Doubt is what devides. Grace is the cure. The virgin mother of Jesus Christ was onto that from the start before her husband was. That is why Theotokos was after his death carried upwards to her destiny in that will of hers to accept grace in its fullness.

17. I find myself doubting most powerfully when confronted with acts of sheer brutality in the animal kingdom. I am perfectly aware of all the rational justifications for such violence, but it is nonetheless disturbing, and makes one wonder why a creator God made a world in which there is so much animal suffering. To be able to sustain life only by hunting, killing and eating other sentient creatures seems appalling to me. Does the story of the Fall make some sense out of this ? Partly, I think, where human suffering is concerned, but as far as the rest of nature goes, no. Yesterday, for example, I saw a small caterpillar being chased and repeatedly stung by ants. Who knows why ? Maybe it had stumbled on to their nest, and the ants were there to protect it. Point is, to me, it didn't really matter why : it simply served as an example of the very real chasm that exists between the awful reality of created nature and the idea of a loving God.

18. Thank you Dear Father!

19. "The Lord has become everything for you now you must become everything for the Lord."
    Can anyone please explain what this qoute from St John Of Kronstadt means ? I dont understand.
    Thank you

20. "They don't make us less Christian…"
    Thank you for the encouragement, Father.

21. Doubting god or the creator (whatever your choice that you go with) is dumb. If you're an atheist you actually believe all this happened by accident and the singularity magically appeared out of nowhere. You put your faith in a magic trick

22. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.
    Thank you for your words Father.

23. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.
    Thank you for your words Father.

24. Hi Father Spyridon, catholic here, I have no doubt in my faith around the trinity but I do struggle with the over the top adoration of Mary in the church. Whilst she certainly deserves respect there are those that want to call her co redemptrix, I have never believed this and I dont really believe the immaculate conception. Any advice would be great. God bless

25. ce faci, spiridoane?

26. The end of my doubt there was an acceptance of the Mystery of God's love for creation. This love can't be reasoned.
