"Christianity is not a means to well-being." "It is later than you think." Profound.
I was part of a church which perpetuated the belief of tongues being nonsensical babble, like you say. Young adults there would chase the experience of being 'drunk in the spirit', 'holy laughter', and hoped to be caught up to the 3rd heaven like Paul. By God's grace I met a true friend in that place who has walked alongside me to our true home, in Orthodoxy. Thank you for your obedience to our Lord, for speaking His Truth so that every word illuminates not yourself, but Him. You speak the Truth that I, and many others, had perhaps always felt, but never found in our evangelical background. We were taught enough about Christ to enter into baptism and a pursuit of repentance, but spiritual fathers like you are who we need leading us through. Bless you, father.
I belive that the Antichrist has come in several forms already. What you are describing is exactly that of the People's Temple, for example. Lead by James Jones, he gathered a thousand followers by performing false miracles, and took them to Guyanna to build a false temple. Then, when everything started to crumble around them, he all of his followers, including tens of children, commit suicide by taking flavor acid with cyanide. His plan failed then, but some day the Antichrist will come back and try again, and he will gain followers around the world. We must warn our children and our loved ones in preparation for this day.
Thank you Father Spyridon for warning us of the coming religion. God be with you.
God bless you father. I have lived a life of blasphemy, sin, lust and hedonism. I was the poster child for modernity. If the Antichrist had come during that time I surely would have heralded him as the messiah. In the last few months, by the grace of God, I have seen the light and am turning away from the life I once lived. Thank you for your wonderful homilies. Your channel is truly a light in this world of darkness. Lord, have mercy on us all. Greetings from the Philippines
Thank you, Father Spyridon. Very wise and insightful, and very biblically sound preaching.
The universal apostasy is here. It is the religion of the woke, climate hysteria and marxism being puppeted by the leftist CCP controlled UN. The qween is in on it as well as 99% of the politisions in the west.
Why do you have that silly hat on your head, what is the purpose of it, how does it benefit you or anyone else? Hats are for women. Be bop de bappa bower shing Shiela Zoola Oi. Dididly didily bee bop tu pow pow. Babble works great in music improvisation. It’s harmless to make spontaneous sounds and explore feelings and let go of rigid thought constructs and relax and seem silly. Pride comes before a fall. Proud people don’t know how to enjoy life. Joy is our strength. Perfect peace and perfect overflowing joy are to be sought for and expected from God. Heaven on Earth is righteousness, peace and joy, it’s a free gift received through faith that comes by hearing the word. Grace is effortless, grace is graceful. God wants our mercy not our sacrifices. God wants our good desires not our foreskins. How do you know that you yourself aren’t an anti-Christ? Are you judging others as you would have others judge you? Are you publicly gossiping about people to make yourself seem righteous in the sight of others? Aren’t you tickling the ears of people telling them what they want to hear? Are you arrogant enough to believe that your church is the real thing and every other church is wrong? Do you imagine that your interpretation of scripture is correct because you think it agrees with others who also think that they have the correct interpretation? Do you imagine that different people perceive the scripture in exactly the same way? Do you think that you understand the book of revelation? Do you think so highly of yourself that you can relate biblical prophecy to the modern world two thousand years later? Do you think you know? Isn’t your wisdom foolishness? Isn’t every man a liar? Do you think that you are an Israelite? Do you think that flattery stirs ruin? Why are you clothed in a sheet, Is it to try and look like a man of God? Do you want people to perceive you as a man of God? Do you jerk off when nobody is watching? Do you look at pornography?
His burden is light and his yoke is easy…………or………..it’s difficult to carry a cross……….or……….through faith you have the strength to carry your cross making it light?
Is Jesus the Father? (He shall be called Father) Jesus said that God is a Spirit, therefore Jesus called the Spirit ABBA (Father) The Truth Is The Most High Spirit Above all spirits, therefore the Truth Is God. = The I AM Is Truth, there is no other. = Living/Truth Is The I AM Who Is The Source of all being. It cannot be True that there is no Truth, Truth Is Uncreated/Unchanging/Immortal/AllPowerful/AllKnowing/Perfect/Spirit/Invisible/I AM/Creator/Love/Beautiful. The Creator is not the creation……..God Is Uncreated ie has no beginning. Jesus’ flesh began in the womb of Mary………God Is Uncreated ie has no beginning. Jesus’ flesh changed as it grew…..God Is Unchanging. Jesus’ flesh died……..God Is Immortal. Jesus’ flesh rose from the dead to life……..God cannot cease to be alive and so cannot be raised from death to life. Jesus said he had no power of his own……God Is AllPowerful.
Word is Spirit……word became flesh = spirit became flesh = spirit is flesh???
Dividing between soul and spirit…..ie they’re not the same thing….Only God Is Immortal…..ie the soul is not immortal…but the True spirit is Immortal, maybe??? The Truth Is The Most High Spirit above all spirits……those who believe the Truth are born from above, a spiritual birth. The Holy Spirit Is The Most High Spirit Who Is God, there is no other. God Is One, Oneness is the Perfect Reality. Ie what we do to others we do to Jesus Who Is One with God and us in God. Wherever love is there is God because God Is love. The True Law is based on Love. If we have the faith to move mountains but don’t have Love then we are nothing. The merciful shall obtain mercy, if we don’t forgive then we won’t be forgiven, don’t repay evil with evil but overcome evil with good, freely give.
Solomon received 666 talents of gold…….666…….Jesus said that a flower is more righteous than Solomon in all his glory. Jesus said that John the Baptist was the greatest but unless our righteousness is greater than John the Baptist’s then we won’t have the kingdom of heaven. Jesus said that all those who come before him were thieves and murderers.
The love of money is the root of all evil…..sounds like 666 to me….we cannot serve God and mammon at the same time, mammon is deceitful = money is imaginary = we cannot serve Truth and lies at the same time.
Are you a twister of scripture, do you think that saying “fuck” is swearing when there is no such thing as a swear word other than the words “swear” and “Promise”, Do you swear oaths, do you make promises? Do you imagine that saying “fuck” is cursing when cursing means to will harm upon others? Do you imagine that saying “fuck” is complaining about God when it’s obvious that saying “fuck” is totally dependent on the spirit and motivation for its meaning? Is there such a thing as foul language if the language is spoken with good will. You silly cunt, take that fucking stupid hat off your big fat head, you look like a religious wannabe, “oh look at me, look how Holy I am, ain’t I righteous, admire my religious garb, listen to my words because I’m in a position above the wretched filthy masses, people admire my religiosity, without my holy hat and bed sheet people wouldn’t know how Holy I am, and would confuse me with ordinary people. Let me parade about in front of people in my pompous purple twat hat, it makes me happy and helps to convince people that I must be a man of God. I’m nothing like them anti-Christs, I’m part of the only real church,” etc, etc, etc.
Bless you and your silly purple hat and your high opinion of yourself and how super humble you are for looking down at people who probably live more righteously than you and your self righteous “church”. Will you repent from wearing a silly purple hat because a complete stranger called it a twat hat, probably not. “Why, how dare you insult my beautiful purple head cover, you’re not a lover of my purple head cover, so you must be an anti-Christ, I rebuke you satan in the name of Jesus, how dare you spew your hateful vomit all over my beautiful comment box, let me simply delete this comment then people won’t get the wrong idea about my beautiful purple hat, problem solved.”
Lol.
Have mercy.
I keep getting drawn back to eastern orthodoxy . Im traditional roman Catholic and I've studied hard but can't find a winner argument for orthodoxy . I've seen tons of hours of ubi petrus , jay dyer , Ybarra , james likoudas etc … And I still think Catholicism ( the faithful few remnenents in a chaotic modernist church ) Is the true Christian church , and I hope father sypridon can make more simple doctrinal arguments in favour of orthodoxy . How can one decipher ? I can't go on feelings ….I feel orthodoxy is true but thats nowhere near enough .
christ enjoyed his meditation at night time too, he felt comfort and gained all his fathers message/s from this. After all don't we all want not to suffer thats why we look to christ's teachings? Why suffer when one can attain highest of pure godly awareness. Christ says I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. Notice the ' I AM' he's referring to the highest state of awareness where one finds they simply are . Thus simply, ' I A M'. When you discover this god will enter your life. And you shall enter gods kingdom. Thanks alot to Christ for this majorly important pointing. Which many many good Christians don't even grasp! Repent, meek and humble ones. Repent
Speaking in tongues is from God.. sorry to disagree with you Father. Some ppl call it gibberish, others babblings, and yes of course it sounds like that to those who cannot understand it, just like any other language. but it is a Heavenly language and for those who have the gift of translating it, you then discover that it is so much more superior than any other human earthly language.
Thank GOD for you Father spyridon in Christ Jesus you are so calming and loving I can HEAR 👂 his voice amen (I was warning people the NAR I always pondered on why it was brainwashed to thinking the pope or something but nontheless it wouldn’t make sense (but it would make sense to come in the name of Jesus and start a cultic type of movement w all the weirdness lying signs and wonders) sorry for my speaking but needed to get it out my heart ! They’re are definitely serving another Jesus and another gospel….
I was adopted when I was born and my mom was catholic my dad was Jewish and well, I wasn’t raised up in the Lord….. and now I’m terrified that I am doomed, but he is a merciful God and father I ask in the name of Jesus that he will forgive me for all sin and cleanse me from all unrighteousness and keep me separated for his purposes I ask in Jesus name….
Speaking in tongues is where its at. Do you read the KJV or Jerusalem Bible? _ I like most of your teachings but with many men like yourself you believe you are beyond reproach because of the position given to you. Before you became a monk how did you think? I am always try to become a fool so I can become wise.
Thank you, dear Father.
8:55 "And yet when we look around the world, at many pagan religions, we see glossolalia…" Okay but this proves nothing. We see prayer, priests, sacrifice, ceremonies performed in other religions. So by this logic, because other religions share these things with Orthodoxy, that means these things must also be false. This is of course not correct. We should not be surprised that false religions and cults share some of the things that are in the true religion. Thank you for the video though, it was linked for me by a mate who is Russian Orthodox and trying his best to convert me. I agree with the concept that we have to reject error, and appreciate the fact that protestants tend towards ignoring the suffering and sacrifice that is intrinsic to real Christian life and walk.
I am a Catholic who is quite upset with how Pope Francis is misleading many. I'm trying to learn Orthodoxy.

What is a good book on the desert fathers?
It has already happened. It is called evangelicalism but also all of the 'woke' garbage has become the new religion; climate change, BLM, antifa, etc.
In summary: Baptism without repentance before confirmation or before full immersion when old enough for choosing to follow the Lord is not the same. The least of the holy spirit gifts granted to us which is from god is when others can hear their first language being spoken too when someone is speaking in tongues. More beneficial to newcomers visiting our churches to be welcomed better when seeing orthodoxy based worship practices so they while continuing to leave the agnostic life behind don't start wondering if those speaking in tongues is only drunk church goers along or worse yet — Some present might become deceived into practicing a distorted fake speaking in tongues while hoping that is going along with the same. While perhaps a church goer who goes there with Tourette's Syndrome to see real speaking in tongues might be more comfortable when not worried as much about being embarrassed by their symptoms while worrying about being judged for it could feel more accepted there a bit sooner that is not the majority newcomer's experience. And so the priest or minister who is leading worship needs to be careful when saying that speaking in tongues is permitted.
We are blessed Father Spyridon to have you in our lives giving us insight and guidance in our spiritual way of life, each and every day. God bless 🙏
Catholics (the Pope) and one of their ways
Brother speaking in tongues is real. Yes, there are false spirits, but there is a true anointing of the Holy Spirit too. Do not convict yourself with such a judgment. God bless you.
Who is the father of antichrist
This is why it is so important to have a translator at hand. Yes it truly is babbling when no one understands what one is saying, yet so many churches and pastors talk in tongues without an interpreter. Hypocrites. Read your Bible. 1 Corinthians 14:26-27.
A voice crying out in the desert….God bless you Fr.
I got saved 6 years ago and had this amazing deep encounter and with the Holy Spirit which caused a deep repentance. I stopped smoking, threw away all my drugs, met a Christian woman, got married. A Christian told me I was not saved because I did not speak in tongues. I cried and prayed to God to speak in tongues but for many years never did. Once I believe I spoke truly in the tongues spoke about in the bible. Since then I sometimes practice speaking in tongues but still have my doubts as to whether what I am doing is of the Holy Spirit. I have only ever been around protestant circles and on the whole have been mostly dissatisfied with the churches teachings and lack of repentance. I believe the Christian life should be a repentant life seeking purity and shunning evil but have found that on the whole the churches I have been involved in are full of the world. I like the protestant notion of sticking to the teachings of the bible over traditions and find the venerating of saints, the kissing of icons etc difficult, much like many here feel about tongues but I like the honesty and integrity of the orthodox church. A genuine spiritual life. It is Definately growing on me.
