Sowing Doubt in the Lives of Saints

Clip taken from "Met. Jonah Paffhausen: Modernism Cloaked as Traditional - All You Need to Know". We hear in this clip that "you can't take the lives of Saints at face value". He clearly says that some things described in the lives of Saints such as the extreme tortures of the martyrs or a Saint not taking milk from their mother's breast as an infant, are exaggerations and didn't actually happe...

The Ungodly Errors of Archbishop Elpidophoros: All You Need to Know
มุมมอง 56K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros has been the ruling hierarch of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America for the past 5 years. During his time as Bishop, His Eminence has made statements and engaged in activities that are in stark contrast to the teachings of the Saints, the Ecumenical Councils, and the Holy Canons of the Orthodox Church. Throughout this video, we will see His Eminence ex...
Are Benjamin Cabe And Theoria.TV Trustworthy Resources for Orthodox Christians?
มุมมอง 4.2K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
Theoria.TV and Benjamin Cabe are sometimes presented as a non controversial, moderate source of online catechetical material that is safe to share for inquirers into the Orthodox Church. The following video provides examples for Orthodox Christians of his teachings, views, and behavior that are spiritually dangerous and highly alarming. As you will see, they are not Orthodox, but will instead g...
The idea that North Americans can be Orthodox is laughable anyway, let alone mount a defence of traditional Orthodoxy, #cultural appropriation.
Don’t believe this judgmental video. Whoever made this should repent and delete this video.
@@Alex-gx5mb how exactly have I judged the Metropolitan? Have I evaluated his inner spiritual life and salvation? Have I misrepresented any of his public teachings?
You should make a video on telosbound next
@@Sunrise000x I'm not very familiar, what are the issues there?
Roman Catholics DO NOT follow the Ecumenical Councils, even if they claim to do so
wow, I had heard of this from others close to him, but never heard him actually say these things. wow, he needs to publicly repent and retract these statements.
You have only provided certain short portions of videos from Metropolitan Jonah, while interjecting your own lengthy interpretive responses. Why not invite him to a debate, or at least ask him to clarify any of his statements in a respectful exchange in a video? If not, why not?
@@BassByRon if anything in the video is misrepresenting the views if Metropolitan Jonah I will gladly remove it. I think I let him speak for himself. Happy to be proven wrong.
No. You need to speak with him directly and personally, which is what you should have done long before even thinking about posting a video of this nature.
The Fundimental Freedom of Every human person is to LIVE. Murdering Children by Abortion is no different than sacrificing babies to statues of Molach.
You should take this down
@@telosbound why? Have I misrepresented anything from the Metropolitan in the video? I will happily remove anything from the video that is inaccurately presenting his views.
Well it is an unfortunate situation, but we all need to pray for him. Just because a bishop is wrong, doesn’t make the entire church wrong. I ask you to open up a church history book, and go to the times when a good part of the bishops believed in heresy, the Church still stood. Praying for my GOARCH brother and sisters
@@LoT-r4s I completely agree!
@@GentleBreeze1234 I agree with your video, I just keep seeing people promote schism, breaks my heart. Just wanted to point that out. Thank you
Had no idea this was what he was teaching. Lord have mercy on Met. Jonah Paffhausen 😢🙏
ok so the Greek Orthodox is on board with that too ; go TLM if possible, respectfully and in love.
Okay I agree with not legislating against abortion because we must let all choose their own rope to save themselves or harm themselves. Every other word, holy crap. He needs to be an Episcopalian if he believes these things.
@@OrthodoxDialectics should we also legalize murdering children and adults, out of a respect for human freedom? Ridiculous.
No one is perfect He made mistakes But its not his fault The ones above him They send him to us Made Dimitrios resing We judging him But the other one that’s coming from Australia Mitsotakis cousin He is no different or better We should know who is behind everything NWO Globalist and the Panthriskeia agenda Masons Pope- Patriarch E U 😢 Its sad But it is true He is only a puppet Poor Thing If i was Him I wouldn’t be able to live with my self I will resign Escape and save my soul
Forgive me, but at 1:17:40 you say that “Fr seraphim rose is venerated as a saint throughout the orthodox world” and Im sorry but that isnt true as of yet. I do hope one day he is cannonised, but as of yet that has not happened and as such it isnt proper to make icons of him or to refer to him as a saint. God willing one day this happens though! As for the rest of the video, I sadly agree. We must pray that his eminence repents
@@enclave3908 veneration starts from the ground up, that's how it always happens. People pray to them, make icons, etc. And then finally they are officially canonized, a recognition of what everyone already knew and lived. St Symeon the New Theologian venerated his own elder as a saint and painted icons of him immediately after the elder had died.
This is why i left the orthodox Church
@@Harrison_SamsonCertified do not leave the Lords Supper because Judas sits at the table!
The church I belong to will NOT share communion with this branch of Orthodoxy. They are heretics. The flock must speak out and take action
Why is he not thrown out of the church ? Look what he just did with the Jewish religion this ecumenism needs to stop. Heresy of all Heresies. He is a Communist Globalist one world order and religion. Soon he will be pushing for LGBTQ in the church. Please people speak out and tell your priests to leave the GOA Also they were paid by the US gov to push for the lockdowns during Covid ! He is not Godly, BEWARE and speak out people protect the church from this evil man.
So should i go to an old calendar church or stay in the Greek church, there is so much confusion.
@@latinboyyy305 the Church is not the Bishop, you should make your decision on the local community you're in.
@@GentleBreeze1234 Priest continues to commemorate Patriarch Bartholomew, knowing everything that's going on with Bartholomew and Elpidophoros. Does that make me complacent in undermining the Church?
@@latinboyyy305 no, no one is obligated to cease commemoration until a Bishop has been deposed by a Council.
@@GentleBreeze1234 Ok, let me ask you this. What should I be looking for that should be a red flag to leave? In my opinion there are many "little" things we do wrong. For example: 1. People stand wherever they want, we never practice the tradition of the women on the left and the men on the right, which I think is proper and beautiful. 2. There is never a penance after confession 3. He never withholds Eucharist 4. Never uses the narthex as intended (e.g. for catechumens and sinners that need to be out of the nave for a period of time). 5. His wife never participates with us in the liturgy, she's always, and I mean always in the fellowship hall, never veils, and always dresses down (e.g. yoga pants T-shirt). When asked, she says Greeks don't veil, it's not part of their tradition. When the priest is asked, he states, the Bible isn't really perfect, and that St. Paul also said women shouldn't speak in church. He says this to get you to question Paul, in hopes that you doubt and stop bringing up things that we should be doing. I find that concerning. 6. He allows women to come dressed provocatively (e.g. mini and tight skirts, cleavage showing). I understand a new person may need some time, but after three years, he won't say anything, just says we need to pray and be merciful. 7. Some parishioners have requested to remove the chairs like back in the days, at least sometimes, and he refuses. 8. Doesn't have an organized catechumen course, it's basically a teach yourself approach. I have a daughter, and I was hoping she would see good examples of how women dress, and participate in the liturgy. People have complained to the Bishop, but nothing seems to change. Are any of these reasons to leave or be concerned?
@@latinboyyy305 these are definitely things that you're not wrong to be concerned about. It also depends on what's available to you. If this is the only parish currently anywhere near you, you shouldn't stop going to Church altogether over these things. You need to go to the divine services as much as possible. The grace of God is there regardless of the sins of the people in that particular parish. You may perhaps also see if there are more traditionally minded parishes in your area. I can only recommend that you seek out a traditional spiritual father that you can bring these concerns to. Idk your situation so that may practically mean driving far, getting on a plane, depends on your situation. The monasteries of Elder Ephraim in the United States would be a very good place to seek spiritual guidance, if you are able to get to any of those. If you look under the "Affiliated Monasteries" page on the website of St Anthony's Greek Orthodox Monastery you can see a map of where all of the monasteries are located. There are monasteries in Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, Wisconsin, Florida, North Carolina, New York and other places.
Son of perdition lookin ahh' 😂😂😂😂
I rebuke them in the name of Jesus.
Ew this is disgusting. They are playing right in Christ's face with horrible excuse for power.
So sad for this man to be called a leader of the Orthodox faith. He definitely should be removed from his position.
These people would crucify our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ again and again if they had the chance. Nothing has changed.
He is a Turkish citizen and has received Turkish education… they interpret everything the way it suits their nation, this is how they are raised… his interpretations, as you point out, problematic
There no Salvation outside of the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Bergoglio is a false Pope, the last valid Roman Pontiff was Pius XII. The Vatican was usurped by apostates of the Faith in 1958. Eastern Orthodoxy is a fallen branch that leaves you outside of the Arch of Salvation. Seek a validly consacrated (pre-1969 Holy Orders) Catholic bishop in communion with the magisterium of Pius XII before you expire.
kissing the hand of the pope surely isnt that bad
@@tomn4483 the Ecumenically ratified Synod of Laodicea in its 32nd canon says: "One must not accept blessings from heretics, which are flummeries, and not blessings."

All us Greek Orthodox realize and understand he is corrupt and not pious.
Moscow Patriarchate is the same, it's just better at looking "traditional." They are Sergianists also, they don't hide it.
0:33 BASED!
Matthew 7:15-20 15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”
Which is why canon 15 is a thing.
As a former nonbeliever trying to find his faith, finding the same degeneracy of the outside world inside churches of interest.. it has been very discouraging. Honestly if I can’t find a Church I can respect I will just believe by myself.
@@Jeroen4 don't leave the Lords Supper because Judas sits at the table.

Yikes….
Mark 12:38-40 - And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces, And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

Is Seraphim Rose a Saint, I did not know he was officially recognized?
So you feel that because you have a TH-cam Channel you have the ecclesiastical right to pronounce Judgement on an Arch Bishop? Are you a Patriarch or a Metropolitan or the High Priest of the Church? If not, then I recommend that, for your own sake, you cease this criticism. You are using your limited understanding of things, through the lens of your ideology, to criticize an ArchBishop - this kind of evil speaking of the Lord's ordained and anointed is very dangerous. If he's teaching falsehoods, he will bear the responsibility for those things. Only his Metropolitan and the Lord can evaluate his actions and statements and render Judgement. If you are in the OCA, you can register your objections with your parish priest and leave them in his hands. Most of your arguments are contentiously very legalistic, reminiscent of the very attitudes of the Pharisees and Scribes. There needs to be room for grace, love, and pastoral care when dealing with people. Arguing the way you have is rigid, ritualistic thinking - which Christ did not engage in. Imagine if Christ refused to eat with the tax collector, refused to touch the Leper, or refused to intercede on behalf of the harlot? or Prevented Women from following him. If he was that legalistic, this wouldn't be Christianity; it'd be more akin to Islam. Is that who we want to be? If Christ came today and said these things, would you condemn him, too? What if Christ came and attended an LGBTQ+ event, eating with them and speaking with them? Would you call for him to be condemned and kicked out of his own Church? Perhaps an ArchBIshop understands some things about being Christian that lay people do not. Unless you are sure you'd be canonized a saint after your death, I would show humility and refrain from Criticizing. St. John Chrysostom (c. 347 - 407 AD): Frequently preached against gossip and slander, especially against those in authority. In one of his homilies, he said, "Nothing is so destructive to the common good as the spirit of detraction and calumny. It poisons the minds of men, sows discord and division, and undermines the very foundations of society." You risk bringing condemnation upon yourself. Jesus also said not to Judge lest ye be judged, and "Let he who is without Sin cast the first stone." Also, "Contention is of the Devil." I would encourage you to unlist this video, repent, and go to confession. By the way, regarding kissing the Hand of the Pontiff, I see orthodox clergy kissing each other's hands all the time as a sign of respect-it doesn't mean he's bowing down and worshipping the Pope or submitting his authority in any way. Have some Grace - In his role, the Archbishop has to walk a fine line in public statements - while still leaving the door open to call all into the Church and call all to Repentance. I see nothing wrong about his comments wrt the March for Life. His comments on Social Media seem to be structured as to encourage Men and Communities to help women bear the burdens of pregnancy and child-rearing - which we should, if we want women to make the decision to keep their babies instead of aborting them. Instead of giving billions in aid to other countries, we should use that money to pay expectant mothers to stay at home with their children and provide them with the support they need. We need to put our money where our values are. How is the adopted child in any way responsible for the actions of those who adopted him? Would you deny him baptism and the light of christ because his parents are sinners? News flash, both your parents and mine as sinners too, as are we. Should we be turned away? If he's really gone off the reservation, God will hold him accountable. When a representative of the Lord apostatizes, God takes care of it in his own time and manner. His Spiritual Father (the Metropolitan) will correct him if he feels it's necessary. Don't worry about it. BTW: My wife and family are not Orthodox. I had to give up and sacrifice a lot to become Orthodox. SO, saying that I cannot pray with my family and should be excommunicated if I do is an offensive and ridiculous position. Do you think that Peter and Paul never prayed in a Synagogue while teaching the Jews? If I refused to pray with my Wife, how could I ever expect to bring her into the Church? She'd think we were a bunch of bigots without any Grace. Btw: Whenever I bring people to church, they are 100% always turned off by the sharing of the spoons and usually do not return. I don't think there is any issue with using 1 spoon per person - personally I'd prefer it. Don't confuse culture and small 'traditions with the Christian Faith - doing so, is really missing the mark. God Bless and Save you.
Wrong! Ukrainian Uniates do not persecute members of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, They are in the process of abolishing the Moscow Patriarchate Orthodox Church in Ukraine, as is appropriate since many of these have been committing treason. Meanwhile, in occupied Eastern Ukraine, Ukraine loyal Orthodox clergy have been tortured and killed, not to mention oppression of "heretical" other denominations like Catholics and Protestants. Surry. Get your facts straight.
He is protestant. Not orthodox. Could someone please help him! 😭😭😭
Horrific! These bishops and priests have not learned dogmatic theology in monasteries the hard way through many years of obedience, fasting and humble hard work but through modern protestant influenced and scholastic theological academical universities popping up and draging profane students from the streets, giving them titles, influence and money to pervert the church. This is a part of the great apostasy that St Paul speaks of. Saint Kosmas foretold this saying that in the last times men will become women and women will become men. Priests will become like laymen and laymen like demons.
What's so bad about kissing a hand? Jesus washed feet.
Ο μπαγασας είναι για να τον κλαίει η μάνα του !
What a crappy conflation! God did not respect any autonomy... while the baby was in the womb but before conception!
Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anglican, Baptist, Methodist, etc…it’s all meaningless human tradition. None of this will matter when our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ returns in glory with his angels to judge the living and the dead. “that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:10-11
This is what happens when you put fallible human systems and traditions above the Holy Bible; equivocation, compromises and confusion.
