Thanks Father…and by the way you have the coolest beard of any orthodox priest!!! 😁
Father Spyridon I as a man of Christ love your videos and I've learned so much. You truly are a man of faith in the Holy Lamb of God. But, as a Lutheran, I could not help but disagree with what you mentioned on Protestants and their belief in "created grace". Yes, I agree that Catholics believe in works gaining grace, but it was that reason the Reformation happened. Protestantism is founded upon the truth of by grace that we are saved, and also that we take up our crosses and folliw Christ.
BTW I'm not criticizing. I applaud the Orthodoxy for its faithfulness throughout history and I hope God blesses you and your congregation. Amen.
The difficulty is to love what which can not be known but experienced – yet to reduce God to an experience in our human limitations of loving the experience seems narcissistic akin to addiction.
Roman Catholicism does not exactly disagree with the teaching of uncreated energies. Rather, we do not see a distinction between God’s essence and His energies, since God is one. Even so, you are right that rigidity is a poor idea. I think the disagreement stems from different ways of thinking and speaking about God.
A wonderful meditation, though. I think it’s important to remember that we are called to bear our cross, not another’s.
God bless you Father and your words for us
Could you do a video explaining the Orthodox understanding of atonement.
Father with all do respect you are in error. Catholics believe the same as Orthodox on grace. I am leery of Priests who cast judgement and falsehoods against others. Stop hating, start loving.
Father Spyridon, thank you for your videos, and words.
You love God by loving others
Father I need to talk to you. Can I ralk to you by email?
Your teaching is very good, I want to know more about the orthodox church, I must be getting closer to the truth , because on another orthodox YouTube channel I expessed intrest in the orthodox church, and was told I was not saved, I was in idolatry, I was brought up persistent, you must be true, because true Christians would not persecute another believer ,please pray for me on my journey to orthodoxy
i see it differently, the rich young man made his wealth his God.
protestant believe in a personal relationship with our lord Jesus, that is very very wrong to say protestant dont believe in a personal relationship with God, that was an outright lie.
as far as the rich young ruler who came to Jesus asking how he can inherit eternal life , first of all Jesus preached law to him because he knew he was a covetous man and second, the man wanted only to add eternal LIFE to what he already possessed.
we are not under the law but under grace, and the only way to love God is to believe in the Father and the SON
John 17
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall BELIEVE on me through their WORD;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: THAT THE WORLD MAY BELIEVE THAT THOU HAST SENT ME
JOHN 3
.
15 That WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH in him should not perish, but have ETERNAL LIFE.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should not perish, but have EVERLASTING LIFE.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that BELIEVETH on him is not condemned: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is condemned already, because he hath NOT BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
1 JOHN 5
13 These things have I WRITTEN unto you that BELIEVE ON THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD; THAT YE MAY KNOW THAT YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, and that ye may BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God.
A CHRISTIAN IS A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST, A CHRISTIAN LIVES FOR GOD AND TRUST HIM ALONE FOR SALVATION WHICH HAPPENS THE MOMENT YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART AND CONFESS TO GOD THAT YOU ARE A SINNER AND PUT YOUR FAITH IN THE FINISHED WORK OF CHRIST
DEATH, BURRIAL AND RESURRECTION
THE GOSPEL.
THIS MAN NEEDS TO REPENT FROM FALSELY ACCUSING OTHERS OF NOT HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD. THIS MAN IS AN ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN AND THAT JOB TITLE HAS ALREADY BEEN TAKEN BY A FALLEN ANGEL. PROTESTANT IS NOT A DENOMINATION IS A DEPARTURE FROM HERETICAL UNBIBLICAL TEACHINGS TO FOLLOWING THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST.
WE FOLLOW CHRIST AND CHRIST ALONE .
BE BLESSED AND REPENT
Your videos are spiritually healing me, Father.
THANK YOU FATHER.
GOD BLESS YOU.
God Bless you Father
Ephesians 2:8-9, not of works, lest any should boast.
God to glory to God. Thank you for sharing this. ❤️✌️❤️
Amen
Acts 16:30-31 — And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
The question is – why would I inherit eternal life? What makes it so desirable?
Orthodoxy is a hidden & locked treasure
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner
Thank you for your words Father
i agree on Catholics but not protestants. or not all protestants, I do like you teachings.
2:36, quotations of saints.
IF YOU LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, YOU LOVE GOD…
IF YOU DON'T LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, WHOM YOU SEE, HOW CAN YOU LOVE GOD, WHOM YOU DON'T SEE?
When you do something good for your neighbor, it means you love your neighbor… and it means you love God through your neighbor…
Christ Alone.
jesus pointed out he was missing some of the law his heart was heardened to. duet 15
