Please pray for me 🙏🏻, i am an Orthodox Christian & i struggle everyday with sin, with my thoughts, words and feelings. Help me O Lord to follow you in mind, body & soul, to forgive & not to judge others. 'Create in me a clean heart O God & renew a right spirit within me' Amen 🙏🏻 🕊✝️❤️
May God help us all! We all must do our best to struggle and to go regularly to Confession, while not despairing when we fall. We must always get back up and keep struggling, with prayer, faith and hope.
Get a shrink.
Ask Christ send His Holy Spirit to help you 🙏
God bless you. God’s peace be upon you.
Keep pray🙏🏽

I was falling asleep one day, and I was thinking how in case of war I would escape to the country next to me. And I heard a voice saying "Lord Tell" and then I heard Lord saying "Same situation" and I started doubting the voice and the Lord repeated "Same situation".
And then I got wisdom, truly like these saints are saying, it will be global, there is truly nowhere to run. And this will be the sign of times by itself. There will be no safety for people.
Blessed are those who endure until the end. Truly terrible times are coming. And they won't come slowly. One day they will say peace and the next day it will be destruction. But try to stay away from the cities, for there will truly be no where to hide even.

I’m a Cypriot and I have watched all his speeches in you tupe and all the prophecies that he talked openly about our future,is such a pity that not everyone knows Greek so that you can hear what he said at the past and how things are right now and what we leave right now it’s all what he was telling us and warning us and yet a lot that will happen very soon.A great man and one of the few that talks about prophecies that become true one by one….
Let's Keep Orthodox ☦️ until the very end 🍞🍷
The Metropolitan's most memorable comment for me was to not concern ourselves with 'ifs'... IF the Patriarch of Constantinople does this or that... but to focus ourselves on our own salvation. IF such a thing MIGHT happen, then approach it at that time.
A very wise and blessed man.
I had the blessing of meeting gerontisa Galactia. When i first entered the room where she lived, i cried very much and i didn't know why this was happening to me. I now ofter visit her grave at the monastery of Panagia Kalyviani, I know she helped me during very difficult health problems i had recently and she still helps me, until, if it is Gods will, i get over it. Recently a book was published about her life.
A true bishop of the Church ❤
May we unworthy sinners (especially me who is worse than all sinners) have his blessing ❤❤❤❤❤❤
please pray for my daughter Matthild 20 years old who is at university, she met an unbeliever (Olivier) who is on medication for depression, she says she wants to conveert Him, but I have the feeling she is in danger, there are multiple red flags , she has always followed the Lord and she is still a Virgin. We are Frenchh Canadians. THANK YYOU Be Bless.
Praying! May the Holy Mother protect her ☦️
So grateful for these words of wisdom. Glory to God!
Speaking about the NWO is very helpful for me, a man with a family, a young child. Thank you
I love him
I was nearly brought to tears from the wisdom and grace-filled words of the Metropolitan in this short exchange.
Excellent presentation! Thank you for including the Metropolitan and for all the work you all are doing. It really helps those who are struggling against what is happening today and a great reminder that we need to not be fearful, but repentant.
Thank you your inspiration and words .
In Romanian also it’s veri good rhyme Popa (priest) vs papa . Thanks . Very useful advice .
Wonderful work with the translation Father and also to the talented young man.
His comments about how John Romanides was a wounded warrior in the faith means so much to me. I had many wounds of faith inflicted upon me by a religious community in Catholicism and John Romanides was a big reason why I got away from that religious community and Catholicism. I pray God give me the grace to fully repent and not turn back from the plow of good works to dwell on what is in the past that I cannot change despite how much it had hurt myself and countless others.
Thank you, excellent stream.

Can some one please link the video in question with the Maronite archbishop?!
Without seening what happened i cant know exactly what the metropoliten is saying.
As a sinful man, and I don't mean that piously or put on but instead logically and factually, how can I trust my ability to discern anything? I have a great conflict within when it comes to trusting myself with just about anything, as at least it seems, that I can plainly see my own sinfulness, faults, and mistakes I've made along the way and make everyday. Though, in most everything, I try to remove myself and look at it as objectively as possible, I can see in my own life that I really do sin just about every second of everyday (whether physically commiting one or the lack of spiritual attention/vigilance to things and any and everything in between) and am blind so to speak in most things, even more so in spiritual things. All of that said, when it comes to discernment, how can I consider myself capable of doing so and trusting it?
In Orthodoxy we place great importance on the need to find an experienced Orthodox spiritual father who has discernment and can provide spiritual guidance. It is indeed dangerous to trust our own judgment.
@@OrthodoxEthos Father bless, thank you for replying.

This is evidence of what has always been known in more emotional cultures, is that the life in Christ mainly dwells in the heart instead of the mind. We can have heart felt thoughts or thoughts with no emotion at all but Christian living really all revolves the heart predominately.
Correct mental knowledge is important of course to avoid sin and error but God ultimately judges us not on our theological knowledge but on our state of heart and our obedience to his commandments which almost always involve our hearts as this is where spirituality lives. Those from more intellectual cultures have difficulty understanding and accepting these concepts as they are very much mental and theoligy focussed but thats not where spirituality lives and where God dwells so in your from this type of culture be aware.
Let's pray
“From my open heart, I ask You my Father for justice. Justice that is accomplished, through the power to commit myself to the end, by adhering to Your 'Law of Love' and its compassion. May my inner eyes be opened to the Light that will enliven a new Heaven and Earth from Your Love and Wisdom. That we humans no longer allow ourselves to be intimidated by those who have power for a short time, that we learn to use the smallest opportunities in a creative, loving way to establish peace and do justice in Your Name. Knowing not to lose courage, since there is nothing that is impossible with You my Father. Let us no longer fall into temptation, going along with those who are possessed by the devil or by extreme fear; power, money, status and sexual derailments. Help me to see through this untold great evil every day through Christ in me and I Christ, Amen” 🙏☦️

P.S: 😇.
“He never knew you.”
Now is the year 2024 and 8th council is still NOT on a level of Ecumenical Council since 9th one did not happen and only valid 9th council can elevate 8th one to the level of "Ecumenical". Those who will say that 9th one was the one so called "pan-Orthodox", keep in mind that at that council less than 50% of the worldwide Orthodoxy was represented and decisions of that council are not widely accepted. Wishes of organizer of that council are not sufficient to make it legitimate 9th council. So, at this point in time, Eastern Orthodox Church is the Church of SEVEN Ecumenical Councils and 8th one is pending that designation.
The Council itself called itself many times over "Oecumenical." All ecclesiastical men of the day, including the Pope, referred to it as Oecumenical.
The canonists of the 12th-14th centuries (Balsamon, Zonaras) referred to it as an Oecumenical Council.
The Oecumenical Council of 1484 (as it called itself) referred to the Eighth Oecumenical Council of 879.
All of the Patriarchs together in 1848, in their reply to the Pope, referred to the Eighth Oecumenical Council of 879.
Many saints and ecclesiastical men have referred to it as the Eighth Oecumenical Council.
Do we have saints or councils which DO NOT CALL IT Oecumenical -- that is, they deny it? In particular, stand against it as Oecumenical?
Likewise, many have accepted the councils of 1341... in the time of Saint Gregory Palamas as the Ninth Oecumenical Council.
The Cretan council has not - at all - been accepted as an ecumenical council.
@@OrthodoxEthos By listing those who called it as such and claiming "many referred to it as such" does not magically makes it Ecumenical. Many is not ALL. Rule is the rule. Not being elevated to that level does NOT mean it is disputed - it is a FALSE premise.
If you look into the TYPIKON, there are SEVEN Ecumenical Councils listed and 8th is in there BUT IT IS NOT designated as Ecumenical. Case closed.
@@johnnyd2383All the Patriarchs of the East in union in 1848 referred to it as such and you are an ignorant taking cheap shots. Case closed
Who are you to be arguing with a priest? Are you a saintly monk or clergy ? @@johnnyd2383
@@OrthodoxEthos
Many Roman Catholics that i knew believed that even 879 Council [Photian One] affirmed Papal Primacy.
So even though the 879 Council handled the Filioque pretty well by not inserted it in the Creed, That council still affirm the Papal Dogma.
That is why many EO that brought up 879 council vis a vis Filioque still underwent an uphill battle against Roman Catholics in a debate. Because this council still affirmed the Papal Primacy.
How do you think about that Mr. Orthodox Ethos?
Next year 2025 is Anniversary of Nicaea 325 AD at which Saint Spyridon of Cyprus was present
Please pray a representative of all 318 Bishops who attended will be present at Nicaea next year
The List still exists somewhere perhaps in Sinai Monastery/My research this week discovered that Bishop of Gangra attended
but tragically on his return was murdered/Gangra was place of exile for others in this early Christian History of Seven Ecumenical Councils that began with Nicaea 325 AD and hardly known today For Example
Patriarch Gennadios of Constantinople is buried near Paphos at Nea Moni
Is he only Patriarch of Constantinople buried or associated with Cyprus? Perhaps Metropolitan Neophytus might like to make video?
Researching the 318 a number deliberately chosen to reflect Abraham Warrior Army mentioned in Genesis
would make wonderful Documentary and Lasting Tribute to 325 AD NICAEA to 2025 AD
...should be the same as for the First Christians
Heres the issues the mindset of eastern and western are different how do we even address that properly and fairly

We should expect more from clerics who lead the faithful because they can guide other souls to perdition. If they themselves are unworthy how should they be allowed to continue to guide others?
Let’s call an ecumenical counsel…is Constantine still around…wait does Jeremy have his cell?
16:35 popes are bishops, not priests. Nonetheless, still fallible as every man, save except Christ our King.
Of course.
He clearly does not -- no Orthodox does -- accept any man as infallible!
This should be obvious.
@@OrthodoxEthos do you beleive that after ww3 the marble king will rise to spread orthodoxy through the world many orthodox monks and saints have Prophecies that after ww3 they will period of peace what do you think
In Greece when we say that "only the pope is infallible”, we mean that mockingly. When someone judges a person too harsh, we point that only the pope claims infallibility (which every Orthodox recognises as satanic pride).
“Papal primacy was never an issue in Orthodoxy, Papal Supremacy is”. Pretty sure the words “vicar of Christ” do not suggest the Pope is supreme, in fact it humbles him as one who serves UNDER another’s authority, that being Christ Himself.
Peter and Paul established the Christian church in Rome, later succeeded by Pope Linus. It was fitting for the disciples to accept Peter as the first Pope, and fitting for Peter to have Linus succeed him as second. Enter the Germans and the French, and suddenly the Greeks have become like the Jews, infuriated that Christianity became “Catholic” or universal, having no Greek authority. That’s what really happened. Meanwhile the Roman Catholic Church has given Christ to practically every continent on the map. Case closed….
At Uncut Mountain Press we have several books on the history of the Papacy which explain how the role of the Pope changed from the earliest centuries to the time of the Great Schism, if you would like to learn more about this.
Greeks are not the only Orthodox Christians. Orthodoxy means true way of Christ's teaching any other domination that split apart has created their own version of teaching and got further away from true Christianity. There is only one truth, can not be many truths. Did Jesus Christ unite with those that did not follow His way? Not.
Christ said to not put your trust in men.
Put our trust in God.
He never fails.
Is always right.
He knows what's best where others may or may not.
Develop an unbreakable bond with Christ so you won't be fooled by others.
Let the Holy Spirit walk with and in you so you can be on the straight and narrow path that leads to The Holy Trinity. ☦️
Psalm 146:3-5
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God.
Psalm 118:8-14
It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in princes. All nations compassed me about: But in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: But in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: For in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: But the LORD helped me. The LORD is my strength and song, And is become my salvation.

They sometimes seem to forget that spiritual pride very much hinders us to really "grow".... I guess
John 3:15 That whosoever believes in HIM (CHRIST) should not perish, but have ETERNAL LIFE.
16 For GOD so loved the world, that HE gave HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, that whosoever believes 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 believes on HIM is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the NAME of the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD."
Note: If you do not know where you will immediately go when you die then YOU DENY that your sins are forgiven by GOD's grace through faith in CHRIST and HIM crucified and deny that you have ETERNAL and EVERLASTING LIFE and you deny that you are NOT CONDEMNED as CHRIST said, therefore you deny CHRIST.

@@Justabluebirdsinging As an unbelieving catholic, you look at it as pride. As a true believer, I look at it as believing what GOD says in HIS WORD, the Holy Scriptures, which says that every true believer is a King and a Priest in the true Church which is spiritual and is the habitation of GOD.

Exactly the "pride" I mentioned. While you do NOT know me you "classified" me as an "unbelieving" "catholic". These are games most people play while on earth....I am not member of a "club" to feel "special" or "privileged". And I do NOT *FEEL* the LOVE of Christ while reading your answer....
8:22 So you think that this is an angel of light? Hah. Time to remind you two bits of scripture:
"that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."
The ones you obstinately refuse to remember in your earthly liturgy, God will remember in His heavenly liturgy.

May Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ have mercy on him….

"All shall seek shelter under rocks or in underground cities."
"The meek hunter gatherers and homesteaders shall inherit the earth."
"The new moon tides are a pale shadow of Noah's east to west tidal wave deluges to come."
With faith in the word of God become flesh we can have life and life more abundantly.

Before schisma, there was only one Church which was called "Katholiki and Apostoliki"
These Greek words :
Katholiki= kathe+ oliki= for everyone
Apostoliki= missionary
Describe the Church as was first settled by Christ.
Catholics adopted the name (catholic) but not the grace..
Schisma was caused by Vatican because the pope wanted to represent all christians like God.
For us Orthodox, Vaticans are heretics (pope claim not to be wrong like a God= alathito = blasphemy)
Vatican was suffering for centuries by Masons and pederis, still they do .... all in all Vatican = evil.
It was the Vatican which organised the "crusades" and "crusaders" were a bunch of butchers who first slaughtered the Orthodox Byzantine people, in the name of pope.
So for us Orthodox (orthi+ doxa) is the Righteous Faith continuously since Jesus Christ
Note: I'm not talking about simple Catholic people but only about Vatican
Blessed to be Coptic . Our church is humble , traditional but not in a Pharisee way ,teaches orthodox faith , persecuted by Islam and does not claim superiority.Elders in the deserts and mountains are so controlling in your religion and claim superiority.
Controlling??

Pure escapism jesus never taught about going into monasteries away from the outside world. Theological learning is not a pursuit or a every day event❤ for ordinary working people.jesus thanked his father for not revealing his ministry to the wise and prudent.
The Bible doesn’t teach the Church is invisible, it doesn’t teach Sola Scriptura, it doesn’t teach to minimize one’s faith to have unity, it doesn’t teach denominationalism, it doesn’t teach when some leaders go bad to start some new church as they did in the reformation, Jesus hadn’t taught nor had the apostles passed on the idea that individuals are to exegete the texts of Scripture, but rather to pass on and preserve what they were taught, the Scriptures also don’t give churches the freedom to worship any way they want, but rather that Christian worship and or church services were Liturgical, Acts 13:2 “as they Liturgized to the Lord”, they wouldn’t have done whatever they felt like doing as if they were some freedom loving Americans stuck in their individualism (and I’m American born) but they followed the OT and Liturgy.
I’m a former Protestant. After 24 years I found the true one Church of Christ, and she is Catholic and Orthodox. Protestantism is littered with such ignorance, ego and rationalism, that I’m amazed I was by the grace of God able to see through the mess and deception of Protestantism
@@Orthodoxy.Memorize.Scripture it is by grace alone ,u forget that in gods eyes no one is righteous not one,be it priest or pope or metropolitan leader. Their is no separation between the congregation and the clergy. Its preposterous to assume that the church fathers of either orthodox or catholic systems have the truth only for themselves,,it is a individual journey only between ourselves and the author and finisher of our journey christ himself.
@@frederickanderson1860Please don’t assume I don’t know Ephesians 2:8-9 or that I’ve forgotten anything you’ve mentioned I have. This would be incorrect on your part, a faulty conclusion. As a former Protestant of 24 years I’d like to say, search for truth and don’t be content within any modern man made Protestant denomination or non-denomination, which Scripture never says to go create, but the classic reformers had. Read Church history, and not the recent last 500 years. Start with the first 500 years. Then you’ll find the Church who produced the canon of Scripture who was and continues to be the ground and pillar of the truth. Last, merely stating Protestant presuppositions or new to Church history interpretations isn’t proof of anything, but does reveal what you think.
@@Orthodoxy.Memorize.Scripture u under grace thats the whole purpose of salvation, 1 john chapter 1: 1-8. Having the holy spirit is exactly that he reminds us who we are and why.lastly historical research is dependent on what sources u use, no history is without bias attitudes, and jesus said " birds have nests and foxes have holes,yet the son of man has no place to lay his head " thats the price we pay,not going from one church to another.
scripture say Jesus Christ went to pray at desert places . Do you do that ?
so orthodox still dwell on what happened centuries ago unable to accept discovery and deeper understanding of theological concepts over the centuries, as if Jesus only acted in the church in the first centuries of Christianity only and then locked it in time.

orthodox is shrinking per their own numbers.
only non-denominational is growing, mainly by those leaving denominations.
And that is making satan so happy...😢
Brethren (& sweet soul sisters) of Christ. Let us not be occupied with the mechinations of the adversary. If you know anyone personally who's left the Holy orthodoxy for the bland nondenominations, I kindly recommend you pray for them, you love them and you help them in all good things.
Not true.
Orthodoxy is growing fast the world over.
@@OrthodoxEthosthe parishes in my area have seen a huge influx of converts in recent times, I myself recently converted from Catholicism.
My family and I came into the Church last year at Theophany. There were 15 people baptized that day. The catechism class after ours had about 15 people who were brought in this year. Our current class that just started already has around 20 in it, plus quite a few families who are coming on Sundays to check it out. Our parish is growing so quickly that we might need to start a missionary church soon. Glory to God.
Advice for the last Christians? Just get out of the way, and into the dustbin of history.
