TH-cam already filled with people who tell ndes where they see this blond Christ. Many books written about such instances also. Usually these people are Protestants.
a similar story was with Saint Symeon the Stylite, he was in his monastery when a white chariot appeared and said that he was ready to go and meet God, before he stepped over the edge (his monastery was meters up in the air) he crossed himself and then the chariot dissapeared.
Jesus is Mesia , Son of God . This is the big difference between Orthodox and other religions. Bizantin church is the only true church who follow Jesus for 2000 years, with no changes and inventions like catholics and protestants did.
Such a valuable lesson. Many other people would have been led astray by such an event, filling their pride and placing themselves over others. I can see how someone might have a hard time to reject this "revelation" when such a situation arises, but it is surely is the right thing to do. I also cannot shake of the thought, that these things might have have happened to some of the more influencial post-schism roman-catholic "saints", which had visions of "Jesus" appearing to them and calling them "saints" and "special people" and whatever. If there is no spiritual discernment and no guard against prelest (spiritual delusion), then people get led astray by such things.
St Paisios didn't see the vision as fake because the man's hair was blonde. He approached it with humility, knowing he was unworthy, and this is what shattered the temptation. This account is to teach us about humility, and the title of this video is inaccurate and focusing on the wrong thing entirely for the wrong reasons.
God bless you brother, thank you for your wiseful thoughts. I completely agree, the point is not that the man is blonde or not, but the fact that the enemy tried to trick him and humbly, Paisios refused their trickery. Not because a rational and logical thought but because of his humility and spiritual wisdom.
However, you cannot say that every single person to whom christ has appeared to was deceived. A discerning spirit will let you know what you have seen.
Question: I have heard it said that he said, "If you receive the inoculation, you have been marked." Does that mean my having received two shots during the pandemic has condemned me? That's a scary thought, if I'm honest.
@@genesiskeglar6372 yes you're right. Blonde traditionally for a woman and blond for a man. Generally seems blonde slightly more prominent as most people don't know there is gendered usage as this is uncommon in English isn't it, eg people don't really say 'murderess' anymore.
Not at all. The tip off was the statement that "you have been made worthy to see Christ." Whether Christ was blond or not was not the point. In fact, it was pointing to His Beauty and how the enemy of our salvation can use that against us.
@@claesvanoldenphatt9972 Unfortunately, I still disagree. I think people are reacting to the blond hair. And I think it's an antiwhite reaction. That's why people are misunderstanding the point of the video. It shouldn't even be the title of the video.
@@eddoautumnocean Of course the image matters. Hence the blonde hair and the half revealed face. Fake revelations to other saints are also somehow distorted and vague. God allows the mimicry of the devil to not be perfect so that the person won't have any excuses of "being led astray" if they believe it to be true.
@@Nio_nio7 the letters dont even make sense, why would Pontius Pilate write a letter just to say "hey I saw Jesus today, this is what he looked like, blonde hair blue eyes, he's beautiful like a god, might sentence him to death later, anyway bye!"
Not that the appearance is of import here, but there have been a lot of movement of peoples since then. Period art of Galilee shows fair skinned people lived there.
@madmartigan1634 Yep, just look at First Century mosaics of ancient Galileans, and you'll be surprised at how lightly skinned they were like for example the Mona Lisa of Galilee mosaic which is dated to the 3rd century. Also @gilgamesh Jesus was not a palestinian he was a Levantine Jew. Not sure where you're getting this Palestine thing from?
@@z3n.404 Yes. He was. The only time people have been saying otherwise is now. We all knew He was then and He is and ever shall be. Look at His Icons. Europe, North African, and Mediterranean people are considered "Caucasian." This includes darker-skinned, non-Dravidian Indians. He was non-European, but He wasn't non-white.
Paisios was a sharp guy! How many charasmaniacs and other Christians not grounded in the word would have been fooled by that I wonder?
A lot of them, sadly.

All you must do to get an idea of how many is look on youtube, people upload their "direct messages from Jesus" every day.

Thank you for sharing this!! :)
The difference between Orthodox saints and Mohammed and Joseph Smith is that the saints were more humble.
Bingo, right on the money!

And they stopped killing after conversion.

Anti-West agenda.
Are you sure it's not you focusing on the wrong part?

If the problem was being blonde, the saint would have said "go away, fake Christ!" not "I'm unworthy to see Christ!".
Αμήν!

Shouldn't the title be "blonde" instead of "blond"?
It can be spelled both ways. Also, I think blonde is maybe for women and blond is for men. Just one of those words lol
@@genesiskeglar6372Exactly
Either works. Both are legitimate spellings.

Roman rulers recorded that Jesus hair was blonde, His skin was fair and His eyes were light blue grey.
Exactly. It is the definition of Adam after all. The show blood in the face.
Jesus looked exactly like the ORTHODOX Church depicts him and thats it. Ain't no germanic ginger blond.
Roman catholic forgery
@@bigol9223 They want Christ to look Germanic so bad

No he wasn't

I don't think he's white, but i don't think he's black either.
Blonde Jesus? You really believe in everything you read and watch
