Ex-Muslim from Algeria here. I think Orthodox Christianity is my spiritual home. Algeria doesn't have any Orthodox churches. Please pray for me to find a way to be baptized into Orthodoxy.
I hope you're okay, wherever you are. May you stay safe and strong out there. May you take care of yourself, and others, as much as you can. I pray whatever happens to you, may you fight the Good Fight and keep the Faith. God Bless you. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have Mercy upon us, sinners.
I believe that God will respect and honour your conversion, but it will be far better to become baptised. You may have to travel somewhere to achieve it. Many will insist on a period of preparation and instruction, but some may not. Pray that you may be led to your spiritual father.
May God be with you dear brother.
I hope you will baptize soon in orthodox church.
God bless you and give you an opportunity to be baptized! Amen!

why do u left islam&follow christ
Describe more about how you & your life have improved.
Leaving Islam means you left Christ too. Jesus never asked to be worshipped.
Ibrahim Sulaiman
You are mistaken; when he manifested to Saint Thomas, He welcomed his worship, albeit He would have preferred him to have done it BEFORE He manifested before him.
Of course you will say “that is a false account”, somehow, but don’t imply that there never was such an account, true or false.
God is TRULY Omnipotent, and can do anything. You only worship the Plenipotent, something that is incapable of at least one thing.
Continue in your faith and grow in the virtues of Christ. Read the four gospel accounts Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and meditate on them for spiritual food.
To be a true Christian one should learn the history precisely in order to know the truth.
The truth will set you free. Free from this sickening temporary world.
Orthodoxy is a genuine treasure. I am proud to be Christian..
Amen
I can't get over the intellectual capacity and comprehensive spiritual knowledge of St John of Damascus. To successfully argue against Islam using only the Koran is spiritual genius. And he did it all out of such love for his fellow man, that people would not fall into the heresy of Islam and lose their souls, not in order to demonstrate his own intellectual prowess. His is a remarkable life.
St John of Damascus, pray for us sinners!
Ex-muslim here and a follower of Jesus Christ now!❤

I have 3 friends in Greece. Who, as I later found out, are a priest and 2 monks. Last year they had the opportunity to build a new Monastery. It is named after St. John of Damascus. I hope to visit them one day.
Thats wonderful! Do you know what part of Greece?
@@Trisagionfilms Yes, I do.
Shall I sent you the adress , email and some photo.s by email?
BRILLIANT!!!!!!!
St.John of Damascus is a pillar of the Orthodox Faith, and an amazing example of how a plain man from his monastic cell can achieve great deeds with his prayers to Christ.
I recal him every Sunday when I hear his wonderful hymns at the vespers and Matins services.
When I first heard the story of life of St. John of Damascus somehow I saw myself in the situations he's been through. He felt so familiar.
Later on whenever I saw an icon of him or saw his name I always felt 'that's my guy' or something like that.
I recently realised that he's commemorated on my birthday.
St. John Damascene, pray for us!
Thats awesome! Take care!
Trisagion Films do you have a video on MOSES THE BLACK

I am not Orthodox, but have read some of the books of the Russian Orthodox and have listened to the holy chants of Greek Orthodox, Romanian Orthodox and Russian Orthodox. These were cassette taps I received in 1995. I met the monks back then from the monastery in Alaska and was genuinely impressed with their love of God. St. John of Damascus was a great man of God who should be an example to all followers of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for this powerful video on this saint of God.
Hymn to the Resurrection
In that we have beheld the Resurrection of Christ, let us bow down before the Holy Lord Jesus, the only Sinless One. We bow down before Thy Cross, O Christ, and laud and glorify They Resurrection, for Thou art our God, besides Thee we know none other, we proclaim Thy name. O come, all ye faithful, let us bow down before Christ's Holy resurrection: For lo, through the Cross joy came to the whole world. Ever blessing the Lord, let us sing His Resurrection; because He endured Crucifixion and destroyed Death by death. (thrice).

God Bless my fellow Orthodox.
St. John pray for us!
The Eastern christian tradition is so soo deep I love it with my whole I follow its teaching and am a Catholic.
Pachimama in the Vatican? 'Multi faith' candle lightings? 😳
@Lord Raglan tell me what is that truth then, protestant?
Dig deeper into the Catholic faith and you’ll find the same depth as in the Orthodox Church. And I’m saying this as an Orthodox. I love my church but I don’t dismiss the Catholic Church. I love their devotions and I pray the Rosary along with the Jesus prayer.
Yes, the Catholic Church is in deep trouble NOW but don’t forget the past, the saints with incredible gifts and virtues and the traditions as well. Besides, think about all the Marian apparitions...
Demonic apparitions.
Become orthodox then
God Bless your channel! I've just come across it and being very interested in Orthodox Christianity getting this kind of educational and easy to understand information about Saints is truly a blessing for someone with an atheist background. May God bless you 🙏
I have just discovered this channel. As an Armenian I love what you teach and how you explain Orthodoxy to the West, which is in dire need. May Christ God spur you on and fill your souls with the Holy Spirit in abundance!
I am also loving all the chants and hymns in the background. I am hearing those same hymns I am used to singing in Classical Armenian, in Classical Greek and other languages here, which never fail to bring tears to my eyes.
St John of Damascus please pray also that we may be one, as this video showed we once were, and as our Lord so prayed (Jn 17:20-21)
Amen!
Amen

@@louisaccardi6808 Yes there are huge obstacles. It will only be by God's grace. No less. For Him nothing is impossible.

We need more of this information- our Orthodox Youth have no understanding of this History- therefore ZERO context for thier faith. Bless you and Thank you. Well done. Very well done.+
Yeah and I am one of them and I am truly blessed to be in this religion(Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahado(Oriental Orthodox))
St. John of Damascus, pray for us.
Thank you so much for this and your other content. It is inspiring and helping me and my family as we embrace the orthodox faith.
My journey to Orthodoxy was actually a result of my interest in Christian apologetics and Islam. Praise God for leading me to the fullness of the faith. St. John of Damascus is such an important resource because he was engaging with early Islam, and can help us see it as it really was, rather than all the changes it has gone through over the last 1400 years or so. St. John pray for us to stay faithful to Christ, and pray for all those bewitched by the lies and horrific practices of Islam.
Thank you. Love from an Australian Catholic 🇦🇺
St Jhon of Damascus, Doctor of the church, defensor of the faith, pray for us.

Amen.
A M I N ❗
When I was 17 years old I discovered the wisdom of the resurrection of Jesus our Lord. The light of joy that He was Risen went on inside of me. What a revelation. I always thought of the sufferings of the Savior, but never understood or felt the impact of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus on my faith or experience in His grace, until then. Now I am 70 years old and have continued to treasure the truths of Christ's sufferings and His rising from the dead and ascending to the Father Almighty.
Amen.
This is a GREAT video! One of the best yet. I absolutely loved it.
The Trisagion Films videos on Christian history are a treasure! Thank you!
Thank you Trisagion Films. You are doing important work and I appreciate it.

This is excellent! The quality of your videos are vastly improving! Christ bless you all.
Excellent! Enriching! Captivating! Inspiring! Fascinating! Top Notch!
My warmest appreciation to all who contributed to the creation of this very fine film. May the Lord reward all of you for using your great talents for His noble work. I am loving every minute that I am learning! Your posts are Christ's guiding beacons within the internet's vast tempestuous waters. I am a delighted subscriber. My understanding and admiration has grown much deeper for Saint John of Damascus because of this film.
Always anticipating for your beautiful videos.God bless you all.
Being Ortodox is such a great gift form God, sadly many of my Otrodox brothers don't take it seriously, they think if ur baptised and you believe in God is enough for their salvation, that's the equally same like Protestantism or Catholicism .. God have mercy on all lost Ortodox souls
I REALLY REALLY LOVE THIS CHANNEL ❤️❤️ IT IS SO CAPTIVATING!!!🙏🙏🙏MUCH MUCH BLESSINGS
Study to show thyself an approved workman, rightly dividing the word of truth....thank you for uploading this video. God bless you sir.
St John of Damascus continues to open doors and windows, to historical and theological truth's. As they saying goes, once something is known it can not be unknown, my journey continues. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit, one God Amen
Wow! An amazing saint and hero of our faith! His icon will mean so much more to me now. Excellent presentation as always! Thank you!
O Holy Father John of Damascus, pray for us sinners!!!
Thank you for creating this. For a half-hour long video, this was a very thorough exposition of St. John's life and contributions to the Faith. Holy Father John Damascene, pray to God for us! ☦
Glad you enjoyed it! God be with you!
Fantastic work, as always ☦
Thanks be to God for St. John.
This video was so well done and so informative. I plan to obtain an icon of St John of Damascus and put it in my home to honor him.
I have been looking forward to this video. Thank you! Saint John is my favorite writer of the Early Fathers.

Muslim/Christian hybrid here. I combine the Islamic prayer ritual with the Jesus prayer as my mantra, it is a beautiful combination.

This video about St John of Damascus as well as a video entitled 'What is Allah? Hieromartyr Fr. Daniel Sysoev' from the Orthodox Shahada TH-cam channel are the two best easy and short videos I've ever seen about islam from the Christian prospective. I would also like to add that Sam Shamoun and David Wood are two very good resources for Islam as well. Great video 👍 Glory be to God!

Thank you for this video! It is well-researched and beautifully-constructed!
Very true doctrines of St John of Damascus. Can be used in Christian churches as theology and can have true faith in Jesus Christ and his church.
Thank you, Trisagion Films! This is the first Saint that I really can identify with, besides St. Paul (whom I dreamed about once-does that make him my patron Saint?). I am very concerned with the war in Syria and pray for the innocent civilians there, under attack from merciless terrorists and their "powerful" backers who are trying to destroy Syria, one of the homelands of Christianity. Oh, Saint John of Damascus, pray for the Syrian people!
Your patron saint is who ever you were named after at baptism. I am glad you felt a connection with saint John of Damascus, he truly is a hero for the Orthodox faith as he lived in very difficult times and under less than ideal conditions.
@@Trisagionfilms Yes, indeed, as we do today! (Lord, give us faith!) Now, dear Trisagion films, I am not Orthodox. I was baptized as a child (12 yrs old), on my profession of faith, but they don't teach anything about Saints or Name days, and know nothing about Church tradition and very little of Church history,. They don't give anybody a Saint name upon baptism.
When I had the dream about St. Paul, I had been reading the book of Acts. (I didn't much like St. Paul because of some of his remarks about women-can't remember what.) Anyway, in the dream he just appeared (a short bald guy, I knew he was St. Paul) and he said "We were going to Antioch". He looked like he knew I didn't like him, sort of humble and sad, and I felt sorry for him. So then I started liking him. I don't know what he meant by his comment in the dream.
Oh, I did convert to Catholicism about 4 years ago, but the priest was mean to everybody (yelled at his secretary, plus other stuff) so I quit going after a couple of years. But I took the name "Mary" at my confirmation, or whatever they call it. About a year ago, I started studying Orthodoxy online, I don't know how I stumbled across Orthodoxy, probably from some beautiful chants. Now I am convinced that the Orthodox Church is the original, true Church. (Yes, I know about the schism, the filioque, all the very important issues.)
Oh, that was the Baptist church that I used to attend as a child and where I received Christ as my Savior and was baptized. (I know I sound like a Protestant.)
@@karenbartlett1307 your dream about st paul was prelest ! Be careful!
