Mar Yeshua Meshikha eeth rakham alee hanaya. Amin
We are the avatars of god.
I’m in a bad situation for a while now, can’t see a way out, I live in sin and laziness and I don’t feel anything, as if God left me.
Thank you for making this, it motivated me a lot to try and better myself and get closer to God.
God bless you and your family
We have all been in that situation from time to time. God never leaves us though, it is us that leave God. He is patiently waiting for you whenever you decide to go back.
Find a day to fast. And don’t only fast from food, but fast from the world. All the noise and honey Satan offers- fast from it all
@@ashtonlambert7673but is that asceticism
Wwww Christ has risen ☦️
The devil's whisper has grown in my ear recently. Thank you for this and thank God
Been strong brother and ever watchful and don't forget to go confession regularly. I pray that our Lord God will sent St. Michael to aid you in your spiritual journey.
Cozy only brand new catechumen and still learning a lot after God woke Cozy up.
Thank you for explaining this it really means a lot to mi.
Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and on those in the tombs bestowing life!
Wow. This video has only just come out 13 hours ago but has truly enlightened me, a nee catechumen. I thank you for posting this in depth video.
Thank you for this and all the content you put out, bud! 🙏🏻☦️❤️
this is seriously an AMAZING video, hopefully many more will see this
Legit, great editing. Message too.

This was informative and practical, thank you!
Lots to ponder on
Thankyou for reminding me of what I already knew. I have been failing consistently, for going on several weeks, and I needed this encouragement to remember why I struggle.
Same
Just found your channel through this video! Subscribed!
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me 🙏☦️❤️
Thank you Jesus 🙏. ~ God Bless
I pray for an opportunity to help someone every day. Something comes up almost every day. Might not always be something large, but that's not always what's needed of me, i guess.
Acceptance is as powerful as BONDAGE😊
This then is NOT the "Difference" between the two so much as it is a BRIDGE❤
Asceticism, then,.....is the EVIDENCE that confirms that bridge😮
Build......
It's what YOU DO❤
it's what EVIL "HATES".
BUILD😊
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.☦️
What is the music? The section that begins around the 13 minute mark is beautiful
I want to know about this as well
Maybe Megaloschemos |||, another channel called death to the world has Bulgarian Orthodox Chant, which is in the back ground and very beautiful
Great video! It’s important to note that not harming animals was important to many early Christians, and some would argue a central component of the early church. St. John Chrysostom said that eating flesh is demonic, and James brother of Jesus was a dedicated vegetarian. Something to consider when contemplating the ascetic Christian lifestyle.
Christ has Ascended!
Lord have mercy Bill Hicks🙏
Thank you for this beautiful video. Your channel is so underrated. Do you have a community place somewhere where we could all talk?
Now this is just me I'm not saying what you're saying is wrong but I think it's because we're saved that we're able to go and do good works from the grace that he has given rather then we do good works in order to receive grace
So in a way we have been bought at a very steep price and we must be loyal to our Lord like for example in Hosea where Ephraim despite her being a lady of the night Hosea bought her back to live with a new purpose just like the Lord bought us for us to live in a new creation that through faith grace abounds!
James 2:14-26: “What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,’ but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? So also faith without works is dead.” (NKJV)
James 2:24: “You see then that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.” (NKJV)
Hebrews 11:6: “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” (NKJV)
It's both, right?
Very good video, much needed
BASICALLY - DO WHATEVER MIGHT BENEFIT OTHERS AT ALL TIMES.
lord have mercy
What about the asceticism that Paul speaks against in Colossians 2? How does that form of asceticism differ from this? And how do I avoid the other?
Reminds me of Zelda twilight princess.
😂
How do people find security when the temporal signs of it - things like a roof over their heads, warm clothes and food - are taken away? It is comforting to remember that Jesus knows what this feels like. He enjoyed the solace of a home, but gave that up during his ministry. For anyone lamenting the absence of a home, possessions, or money, Jesus experienced the same earthly insecurity as he moved closer and closer towards his death and resurrection.
The faithful mentioned in Scripture have been where we are too; we keep excellent company. Exile is a prominent Biblical theme, therefore, one can imagine the likes of Noah, Moses, Ruth, and Naomi deciding which of their few possessions were necessary and having to give up virtually everything else. Many of the Bible’s main characters moved or were displaced, facing uncertainty and hardship.
Into the abyss of emptiness. For as a bird cannot fly with one wing,. So doth thy Bird of Wisdom. Need two wings of Power and Love.
The Gospel is 1 Cor 15; 1-4.
God bless you all, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Colossians 2:18-23 ESV
[18] Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind, [19] and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God. [20] If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations- [21] “Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch” [22] (referring to things that all perish as they are used)-according to human precepts and teachings? [23] These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.
Acetiscism should translate as false humility .. angels as the angelic cult worshiped by the gnostics
@@murutaine ESV is an accurate literal translation, probably the most accurate out of all translations..
@murutaine only select translations say false or voluntary humility, mainly paraphrase translations.
Other terms that are used in literal translations are; ascetic practices, self-abasement, pious self-denial, etc.
The point I'm making is that self regulation isn't the goal of Christianity.
Christ didn't die and give us his Holy Spirit so we could then try to attain "righteousness" on our own.
Paul goes into great detail about this in galatians.
He says those who try to attain righteousness though works of the law are severed from Christ and have fallen from grace.
The only reference to "falling from grace" is trying to "work your way to heaven".
The transformation that Paul is pointing to in colossians only comes through prayer and the renewal of your mind and regeneration of your spirit; a work of the Holy Spirit.
I understand the feeling to add self to the equation, but we know that Jesus is the way and the narrow gate that we must enter through.
If he is the way we must do it the way he did it.
Hebrews 5:7-8 ESV
[7] In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. [8] Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered.
@@patrickwinegar5635
24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, let him deny[a] himself, and take up his cross[b], and be following Me. 25 For whoever wants to save[c] his life[d] will lose it. But whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26 For what will a person be profited if he gains the whole world, but forfeits his life[e]? Or what will a person give in-exchange-for his life?
@michaelstaggs1880 love you brother, carry his presence!
Nothing we do on earth will be Good enough for us to go to heaven only that Christ died on the cross for us do we get saved
Christ opened the way, we couldn't open the way. However we have to now walk it and that requires will and effort. How much we put in daily is what we will get out. We do it not for ourselves but for God, it is our expression of love towards Him.
That gate is narrow many will seek to enter ( ones who don’t do anything but say it was done already) will encounter a very hard reality after death.
Jesus is Lord.
And yes. Protestant ascetics exist
You either go all the way or not at all. False religion you preach.
This is contrary to the word of God. Depriving oneself from life’s necessities does not make one spiritual. That is human works. The unbeliever can do this. God’s will for us is to be saved through belief upon the person and work of Christ and to come to the epignosis knowledge of the Truth. Grow in His grace and knowledge. In other words study His Word. That is the ultimate form of worship to God. It is what He can do for us, not what we can do for Him.
Faith without works is dead. We aren't Muslims.
@@aleksejsruy Good one but works is not the issue. It’s divine works vs human works. Anything done outside the filling power of God the Holy Spirit is human works. Evil. Nothing that we do can impress God. What impresses God is His very own righteousness that we possess through union with the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Reference to human works:
Isa 64:6
That’s all I’m trying to point out.
@@robertdays5773So were the human works done by Christ evil?
@@ElonMuskrat-my8jy well, do you think there was ever a time that the Lord was not filled with the Spirit?
@@robertdays5773 Answer my question.
