Thank you Father, thank you Joseph.

This was confusing for me. Thanks Fr

Thank you for this talk Fr. Photius. So many other Christian pastors would never discuss this issue at a human level and instead would rather gloss over it or address it with worn out platitudes, but people who struggle with homosexual behavior are no less human than any other person struggling with sin. Who hasn’t had a lustful or perverse thought? We should humble ourselves first. God bless!

“Ahh” “ummm” “well” “errr” “ya know” interesting interview though lol

I have a question. I'm Catholic. If i ever decide to convert to Orthodox would if have to reconfess all my sins in that church for the church to say they are forgiven?

"Truly, he is risen!"

Thank you.

This was an excellent exposition. Thank you and Glory to God for His One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

☄️THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world" (In the Age of the Kingdom, God uses the word to initiate a new age, change the way He works, and do the work of the entire age. This is the principle God uses to work in the Age of the Word. Such work is done to better achieve the goals of conquering man, perfecting man, and eliminating man, which is the true meaning of using words to work in the Word Age. Through these, these, the man is being exposed, taken away, and tested. People have seen God's words, heard these words, and acknowledged their existence. The word "words" can be please and ordinary, but the words spoken from the mouth of God incarnate shake the universe, they change people's hearts, change their thoughts and former dispositions, and change the former form of the whole world. From this time on, man lives under the guidance of God's words, guided and sustained by His words. These words and deeds are all for the salvation of man, to fulfill the will of God, and to change the original form of the world of the previous creation. God created the world with words, He guides people throughout the universe with words, and He conquers and saves them with words. Ultimately, He will use the words to bring an end to the entire old world, thereby completing the entirety of His plan of government.) Almighty God said In the AGE OF THE KINGDOM, GOD USES the WORD to START the NEW AGE, CHANGE the way He works, and do the WORK of the entire age. This is the principle that GOD USES in WORKING in the AGE of the WORD. He became a MAN to speak from different perspectives, so that MAN CAN REALLY SEE GOD, who is the WORD APPEARING IN THE FLESH, and behold His WISDOM and WONDER.🙏 SUCH WORK IS DONE to better ACHIEVE the GOALS of SUBJECTING MAN, making MAN PERFECT, and eliminating man, which is the TRUE MEANING of using WORDS to WORK in the AGE of the WORD. ☀️🙏 THROUGH these words, MAN KNOWS God's work, God's disposition, MAN'S SPIRIT, and WHAT MAN SHOULD ENTER. THROUGH the WORDS, the ENTIRE WORK that GOD wants to DO in the AGE of the WORD is FULFILLED. THROUGH these WORDS, PEOPLE are exposed, removed, and tried. PEOPLE have SEEN the WORDS of GOD, HEARD these WORDS, and recognized the existence of these WORDS. 🙏 Because of this, they have believed in the EXISTENCE of GOD, in the infinite POWER and WISDOM of GOD, as well as in GOD'S LOVE for MAN and His only SAVE MAN. THE WORD "words" may be simple and ordinary, but the words spoken from the mouth of God incarnate shake the UNIVERSE, they CHANGE PEOPLE'S HEARTS, CHANGE their mindsets and former DISPOSITIONS, and CHANGE the former form of the whole WORLD. 🙏💐 THROUGH THE AGES, only the GOD of TODAY HAS DONE in this way, and He is the only one who SPEAKS LIKE THAT and comes to SAVE MAN like that. From this TIME, MAN LIVES UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF GOD'S WORDS, guided and sustained by His WORDS. 🙏 PEOPLE LIVE in the WORLD of GOD'S WORDS, IN THE MIDST of the curses and blessings of GOD'S WORDS, and even more people begin to LIVE UNDER THE JUDGMENT and PUNISHMENT of His WORDS. These WORDS and ACTIONS are ALL for the SALVATION of MAN, to FULFILL the WILL of GOD, and to CHANGE the ORIGINAL form of the WORLD of the previous CREATION.☀️ GOD CREATED THE WORLD with WORDS, He GUIDES PEOPLE throughout the UNIVERSE with WORDS, and He CONQUERS and SAVES them with WORDS. 🙏 At LAST, He WILL USE WORDS to END the entire former WORLD, thereby completing the ENTIRENESS of His PLAN of GOVERNMENT. 🙏 Throughout the AGE of the KINGDOM, GOD USES WORDS to DO His WORK, and achieve the RESULTS of His WORK. He does NOT work wonders or perform miracles, but only does His work through words. Because of these WORDS, MAN IS CARED for and fed, and gains KNOWLEDGE and TRUE EXPERIENCE. ☀️ In the AGE of the WORD, MAN is greatly blessed. He does not suffer physical pain and only enjoys an abundant supply of God's words; without having to narrowly search or travel, in the midst of His comfort, he sees the manifestation of God, he HEARS Him SPEAK from His OWN mouth, he ACCEPTS what He gives, and personally baptizes Him to do His WORK. These are things that people in previous ages did not enjoy, and these are blessings they will never receive. 🙏 From "The Word, Vol. 1 The Manifestation and Work of God. The Age of the Kingdom is the Age of the Word" Fulfillment of "In the beginning He was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). ... and "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll. I opened it and I read on both sides the prayers, lamentations, and curses." (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His garment was stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God" (Rev. 19:13).

And fulfillment of "The New Jerusalem" 💫 "The Spirit enveloped me, and the angel led me to the top of a very high mountain. He showed Me Jerusalem, the Holy City, coming down from heaven from God." (Rev. 3:7-13). ... " For the time has come in the house of God for the beginning of judgment in the house of God." (1 Peter 4:17). ... It is fulfilled that God Himself is our Pastor in (Rev. 7:17) 💐 "For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their PASTOR. He will lead them to springs of life-giving water; and God will wipe the tears from their eyes" 📩 Calling and leading the sheep of God to His glorious Throne "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD"💐 to submit again to His authority so that He will continue to teach, guide and protect even in plague, famine and wild animals will not be moved by it and completely win this final battle with the big red dragon! "They say with a loud voice, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!" (Rev. 7:10). ... and it will be fulfilled that will be established above the sky/TH-cam in (Isaiah 2: 2 / 9:6) "On the Last Day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All nations will flock there. " . . . "For a baby boy is born to us. The rule will be given to him; and he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace." 📨

Donna Reed was my ideal when I was a little girl. I'm off to church now, in my silk dress and pearls 🙏☦️💖✨️

thank you father

Thank you so much for this. I am considering becoming orthodox christian and I have just read this parable, I was a bit confused, but you cleared it up for me

Very appreciative for this video. Thank you both.

Thank you both for this talk. Dr Nicolosi was correct on much. Just 20 years ago I was taught such psychoanalytic theories of homosexuality in college. Now, all is changed.

Getting ready

Bless us Father, thank you helping a new comer to Christ.

There are several questions that I have. First one I was told that you have to cry during confession. Well I'm definitely not a Meghan Markle. I cannot turn on the waterworks. I can't have one tear come down my cheek. So since I can't do that do I still go to confession? 2nd I was looking at and rating on confession that I don't have to go into detail of my sins, I only have to re-word it or make it less detailed. So is this correct ? I think I lost my way. Not a confession, just a statement. TY in advance.

I like that definition at the 12 minute mark. Because too often I see "sin" used by both Christians and Non-Christians, alike, as merely a tool to subordinate those who are too honest, while they preserve the right to Enjoy Their Sins, when they can get away with it. At least with this, I can "rightly" denote that Such-People are themselves "THE SINNERS" even as they play Inspector Javert with anyone they can find. One big thing that turns me off Christianity, is when "sin" talk is used much the same way that "privilege" talk is used: as a way to shake down the honorable, the honest, the hardworking, the fair-players, the poor, for the sake of increasing the Wealth of the Unworthy, the parasites, the sneaks, the cheats. etc. AT LEAST with this definition: "Sin is exaltation of Self" ... if we stick with this definition, then this is an "accusation" that can be leveled by the truly "weak" ( not fake weak ) against the "strong."

I think i get it but my question is: is confession of sins to a priest required for salvation like the catholics think. Like are protestants hell bound? Im just kinda confused about this

I think the "nous" in Orthodoxy needs to be explained more. Because I still need it said. It's like a mirror image of the trinity?

There is so much in there. I see so many parallels and questions there. The Publican is the "Secular Man" and the Pharisee is the "Religious Man." Both pursue different strategies to power, even if both "believe" even if both "do not believe." Even if both do not hope for the "resurrection of the dead" and the "Messiah." There is also something psychological there: Why is it somehow WORSE for the Publican to "cheat his own" rather than to cheat a Roman? If it is worse to cheat those closest too you, what does that suggest for everything we see around us today?

"Rank is all there is." In other words the Centurion was demonstrating to Jesus, "I DO NOT BELIEVE IN POWER ALONE....I believe in YOU." By pleading for "his slave" he was proving his faith. He was valuing the LIFE of his servant. Something someone who only believes in SUPERIOR vs. INFERIOR classes would never do. By "asking" he was proving it.

Is it that unreasonable however, if I choose to interpret the words of Jesus, no doubt meant by him in a very darkly humorous way as an affirmation of the natural feelings of normal people: I would love my own children, more than the children of strangers, and from that principal Nationhood flows. It is not wrong? Israel First, the Gentiles Second. If that is the principal, I see no error in it.

Does this mean as an Orthodox, I would not be forbidden to have a commitment to a "secondary religion" as long as I keep it out of Church? A set of political values and tastes. Such as Monarchy for example. I am not a heretic if I care about Material Order in the Physical World?

I will grant you that this is an argument that gives me pause. I might hate many Christians, but I cannot hate the Apostles and Martyrs. Nothing they said sounds immoral to me, and they died. It makes me want to play Diocletian just to test the integrity of a Christian with the Threat of Death. So YES....I'll grant you that. No one LIES to lower himself in life. At least....they would have to be insane or they really believed They Saw What They Saw.

Oh please "do the voice" next time!

Image and Likeness......words to ponder. But am I really in the 'image and likeness?'

Creation is feminine because it is Beautiful.

From a Progressive point of view: If God is all-power, all-knowing, and all-loving, he is the epitome of masculine oppression.

If happen that the Orthodox member will convert to Roman Catholic Church.. He or She receive Baptism before become member?

TH-cam keeps deleting my comment on the gay v!rus fraud

Great interview! See comment below

Watching on 12/24/2022. Christ is Born!

The production values of your videos is wonderful, Fr.! I am curious about the "friendship and partnership" we may have in heaven. We gain much, but what does God gain from such a venture? I suppose the fact that I ask this question reveals how much my experience is weighted down by our fallen nature...

The man, the myth, the legend has returned.

Ｐｒⓞм𝕠𝕤𝐌 😌

Well, this is good! :)

It appears E A's question below may have been missed, about if it is a sin not to go to Church. I hope they can receive an answer to that. Thank you for the good explanation. ☦God bless you all.

Subscribed!

This is such a sad session. This guy is gay btw, there is no such a thing that he is no longer gay. Dont stream delusional videos. Its such a shame. And shame on you for promoting homosexuality as darkness. And calling this a healing ??? Go and heal your delusions.

We are Orthodox Christians. We should not change our values based on modern corrupt influences. Read the Holy Bible. Read the entire book of Revelation. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Always resist the temptation of Satan, and his followers. Turn away from sin and turn to Jesus.

Am I missing something or did he totally avoid the subject? Way to run out the clock!

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the Old Testament. Glory be to God who was and is and is to come!

I find your videos very informative and helpful, keep doing more, in time people will come.

The use of 2 different cameras, & going back & forth between 2 different angles is inspired by Hollywood & the liberal media. Therefore it is evil, fake, & phony. It's also a waist of time, money, & energy. I would like to share this video because of its content. But I can't because switching between 2 camera angles is so fake, phony, & stupid. Look straight into the camera as you speak to your audience.

We are the poor and needy now lol USA is not in good shape

Great series 👍🏻😊

Nice to hear this very information thanks foe sharing God bless

I am so proud to be an Orthodox Christian. It's our start of Journey to God. Amen🙏

Thank you for this information brother under Christ
