I think it's more because Pagans historically had a history and a culture around their religions. Neo pagans are little more than live action role players. They don't live in pagan communities, they don't have pagan families, they have no history with paganism for the past 1000 years or longer. Unless they move to India and become Hindus, they're very much lone wolves in a jungle.
INDEED! The 'New Paganism' of Trump idolatry is much more ANTI-CHRISTIAN than the idolatry of Roman emperors, because so many Christians delight in the orgy of Trump worship. Here is Biblical evidence of God's DIS-approval: Proverbs 11.27 The Bible in Basic English He who, with all his heart, goes after what is good is searching for grace; but he who is looking for trouble will get it. Trump is ALWAYS looking to SERVE his money lusts and power lusts - like the worst leaders throughout human history,including Biblical history - and so, as God promises, TROUBLE is always coming to him and to us as a country. God is wonderful! The truth of God's Word is wonderful! Thanks to God for revealing to us - from the ancient text of the Hebrew Bible - that Trump devotion is a vainglorious, evil-making IDOL.

@@tylerfast106 tyler, please don't be upset with me, but protestantism is the problem.. And i do not in any way denigrate any of the love for God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit that exists there. I used to be one.. As are many of those who comment on such sites as this.. There is a reason why Orthodox priests such as Fr. Spyridon can say what they say.. These words come from knowledge of the mind of the Church, the Holy Scriptures and the teachings of the Church Fathers and Saints.. It is a different mind... And i am so very glad you can recognize value in what you are hearing.. I hope you stay tuned..😏😏 I might as well say here that the Church does not see Herself as a denomination, but as the Mother Church from which those who have errored have disgressed.. I know those could be 'fightin' ' words, but i don't mean them that way.. She says that She is the true, unchanged Church ,for a reason.. It sounds terribly arrogant..but it truly isn't.. Is just one of the things that we converts were presented with and had to learn about and see why there were strong reasons to accept it.. Well, enough from me. I don't want to squelch your joy of hearing such wonderful words from Fr. Spyridon.
yeah, but they boast a rather compliant president who boldly fashioned an openly lesbian premier and provides so-called "pride prcessions" with a high profile and financial means.

Christ is Risen Father! A year ago, the church i was attending had a marquee board under the sign. The priest had me write: "June is humility month" on one side, and "God resists the proud, He gives grace to the humble" on the other

As i reread some comments, i find myself being wary lest we react is such a way that it only causes for publicity for that terrible situation or causes unnecessary reaction towards the Lord and His Church .
Thank you very much for the truth. Pride is a terrible sin, it spoils even archangels and men and women too. Humility is the right attitude of a creature before his God. And his fellowman also.
The beauty of God is infinitely deep. The scriptures are written and we struggle to pierce even a little of their depth. Only a man who does not see God would focus on the world this much and how shallow it is. It is falling away, the more we invest and pay attention to it, the more we fall away with it. God please protect Holy Orthodoxy.
Christ has risen! Well said father… in the fact we are at worse times than the ancient pagans! God have mercy on us and the Holy Theotokos and the Saints intercede for us…☦️
I was in the US military and while I certainly do not regret joining it saddens me to see the spiritual lives of soldiers in NATO so discarded by the fallen west while the heretical lgbt agenda is pushed for so vociferously, thank you Father for this message ❤️
Thank you for your service. First of your videos I have seen and I subbed to see more. It is truly a strange upside down and terrifying world we live in now. I live in a more and more progressive liberal society here in Vancouver Canada and it is only getting worse.
Father June is also PTSD month when we who served and sustained violence, trauma and killing fellow humans are to be honored and helped. Unbelievably the US Navy SEAL community has had the Pride month albatross hung on its neck…as a Veteran of a Foreign War (Nam) I find it loathsome! Our Republic is spiraling out of control with the arrogance now so popular in America.
Great Migug, long the land of God’s blessing, as in its definition, beautiful country, a land of churches and missionaries. How, given our heritage, can we possibly fall into such traps and disgrace? God is watching and is rich in patience and mercy, but how long?

We Catholics this month celebrate the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. And the entire month is dedicated to it. More humble than Christ's heart, no other heart can be. Greetings to all Orthodox brothers and sisters in humility.
@@LadyMaria You are joking are you? How about the bones of the saints that by both branches are brought in procession and venerated? Aren't those body parts?
Yes, emma, and the Church calls such sinners as she and St. Mary of Egypt, and all those to whom St. Paul wrote to about what they once had been, (and still writes to us and all today) with such deep, unfathomable and embracing love to help them and all of us in our own problems to heal in its hospital.. Those sins do bring misery. and especially to those who know they are miserable and don't know where to turn. This month should prompt many prayers and tears... ☦💝📿💝☦
I agree with every single word said and every Christian should. I especially loved that you mentioned there are many in Central and Eastern Europe who strongly resist the agenda. It is getting harder every year, they are trying to push it harder and though nobody accepts it, some of my younger peers don’t stand strongly enough against it, but have more of a lukewarm approach.
We only push when you resist. Y’all forced your religious crap on us for well over 2 centuries. You’re getting a small taste of how we felt being oppressed by you- when our friends were killed, when we were harassed, when we were disowned, denied, and dishonored. You don’t get to shame us anymore. We are visible and we have representation. You can stop with this bs, or we will continue to get stronger. It’s up to you. Those are your choices. You’re not a victim. This thinking presented here- it created gay pride (which is not a celebration of sexuality). You created this. Own it.
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who wanted to do this! “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Luke 18:14 (NIV)
Thank you Jesus Christ for showing us the truth. The world can laugh and mock but you are the true son of God, you are in the Father and all the power and glory is yours. We true christians know that Satan has no hold or power over you, only the Earth. It’s sad that people will go against the Father when he has the power to wipe out life on Earth yet chooses to forgive us repeatedly out of his love, the world really is in end times and I pray that we get to be with our lord and saviour Christ whom my heart longs to be with ❤🙏🏽
I am reminded of the old story of the guy who received a medal for his humility and had it taken away when he wore it.. Yes, covering ourselves in our own variation of our 'humility' flag might not work out well. ☦💝📿💝☦
Thank you Father Josiah for this edifying talk. One thing I have struggled within our Orthodox community as we think about how we relate to people who struggle with this passion, is how we as Orthodox Christians mock gay, people through unchristian jokes forgetting that they still are the image of God. How do we as Orthodox Christians react to members of our communities when they do this?
Amalia, that may happen with some Orthodox persons. But they do not understand yet what the Church teaches or how it responds to the lost.. They hurt the Church by this. May we pray for them also and speak kindly to them when we can.. We are all learning..☦💝☦
Juno was also a 2007 film which featured a plot about a pregnant teen. The title role starred Ellen Page who destroyed her body and coined herself "Elliot." What a grand irony.
Humility is key, for humility is a virtue that mirrors the image of God in us. Keep striving to do His will and, even when you falter along the way, remember that He always welcomes back the prodigal son.
Let us take back June and every other thing that is precious to the Almighty God of heaven. We have been commanded to go in and take possession of the LAND. Let us therefore be COURAGEOUS and do so!!
I drove my a church yesterday with that flag out front and thought that is an abomination. There is a Catholic church in the town my wife works in that used to ring bells until about 5 years ago at noon each day, now they fly that flag and never ring the bells.
That's not a church. there is One Holy Catholic Apastolic Church. There are many apostate and heretical places that call themselves a church that put these flags on their buildings. Lord have mercy.
Humility month. What a fantastic rebuke. I will refer to June this way for the rest of my life.
Amen 🙏
Same here, great idea ❤❤

We Catholics this month celebrate the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. And the entire month is dedicated to it. More humble than Christ's heart, no other heart can be. Greetings to all Orthodox brothers and sisters in humility.
We do not share the Sacred Heart devotion.
@@LadyMaria I know that you don't. My point was something else. That: the devotion to the sacred heart of Christ is all about humility.
@@uliks2434 It is worship of a body part, yes?
@@LadyMaria You are joking are you? How about the bones of the saints that by both branches are brought in procession and venerated? Aren't those body parts?
@@uliks2434 We don't worship them. Huge difference. (They're not branches.)
I did not even think about the blessing of venerating Saint Photini at the beginning of secular pride month. Glory to God for all things. ☦️
Yes, emma, and the Church calls such sinners as she and St. Mary of Egypt, and all those to whom St. Paul wrote to about what they once had been, (and still writes to us and all today) with such deep, unfathomable and embracing love to help them and all of us in our own problems to heal in its hospital..
Those sins do bring misery. and especially to those who know they are miserable and don't know where to turn.
This month should prompt many prayers and tears...
☦💝📿💝☦
Christ is Risen! Humility month! ❤Let's be good and do good!🙏
Amen! Glory to God for humilty month.
I'm trying to make this the goal for this month.
Glory to Jesus Christ☦️
I agree with every single word said and every Christian should. I especially loved that you mentioned there are many in Central and Eastern Europe who strongly resist the agenda. It is getting harder every year, they are trying to push it harder and though nobody accepts it, some of my younger peers don’t stand strongly enough against it, but have more of a lukewarm approach.
the people resist, but the governments cooperate
We only push when you resist.
Y’all forced your religious crap on us for well over 2 centuries. You’re getting a small taste of how we felt being oppressed by you- when our friends were killed, when we were harassed, when we were disowned, denied, and dishonored.
You don’t get to shame us anymore. We are visible and we have representation. You can stop with this bs, or we will continue to get stronger.
It’s up to you. Those are your choices. You’re not a victim. This thinking presented here- it created gay pride (which is not a celebration of sexuality). You created this.
Own it.
Very well said 💯 Fr. Josiah.
Thank you for your channel. 🇬🇪❤
HRISTOS A ÎNVIAT!
Adevărat a înviat!
ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ ΑΝΕΣΤΗ! CHRIST HAS RISEN!
Blessed humility month. Christ is Risen!
Woe to those who corrupt the young indeed.
The verse of Matthew 18:6 comes to mind.
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who wanted to do this!
“I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
Luke 18:14 (NIV)
John Wayne once gave a speech to cadets. Unfortunately he was intoxicated, but I think he had the right idea for what men should do.
Thank you Jesus Christ for showing us the truth. The world can laugh and mock but you are the true son of God, you are in the Father and all the power and glory is yours. We true christians know that Satan has no hold or power over you, only the Earth. It’s sad that people will go against the Father when he has the power to wipe out life on Earth yet chooses to forgive us repeatedly out of his love, the world really is in end times and I pray that we get to be with our lord and saviour Christ whom my heart longs to be with ❤🙏🏽
Amen 🙏

Pride comes before the fall
Self worship, be as Gods. Thank you, father. You’ve given us tools to fight against this corrosive, anti-human ideology.
Glory to Christ
Country is dead, dead, dead. Allegiance to God and Him alone. The World, or at least the west, is a gonner.
never entertain the idea of defeat. We were put here to win. Study and know the Truth and then proclaim it.
How lamentable that you have such a defeatist attitude.
Heyyyyy Father Josiah love how he talks and speaks. Amazing wisdom communicated from the Holy Spirit. Happy Humility month
Shhhhh. Make sure nobody knows we are celebrating humility month. It would be controversial.
@@KirkBeck-b8f Brother you shouldn't care what others think care what God thinks
I am reminded of the old story of the guy who received a medal for his humility and had it taken away when he wore it..
Yes, covering ourselves in our own variation of our 'humility' flag might not work out well. ☦💝📿💝☦
Thank you Father Josiah for this edifying talk. One thing I have struggled within our Orthodox community as we think about how we relate to people who struggle with this passion, is how we as Orthodox Christians mock gay, people through unchristian jokes forgetting that they still are the image of God. How do we as Orthodox Christians react to members of our communities when they do this?
The result is people feel persecuted and unwelcome, and God will indeed judge this hatred.
Amalia, that may happen with some Orthodox persons. But they do not understand yet what the Church teaches or how it responds to the lost..
They hurt the Church by this. May we pray for them also and speak kindly to them when we can..
We are all learning..☦💝☦
He is risen indeed! ☦️🙏
Juno was also a 2007 film which featured a plot about a pregnant teen. The title role starred Ellen Page who destroyed her body and coined herself "Elliot." What a grand irony.
Great video, we must defend the Truth ☦️
Happy Humility month!!!☦️☦️
Hristos A Inviat!
Во истину воскрес, Христос .
God Bless and forgive us all our sins. Amen. 🙏🏼☦️🙏🏼☦️🙏🏼☦️
He is risen indeed!
Christ is risen...true is Risen.. good morning 🌞🌞🌞 Father ❤
Когда вам говорят Христос Воскрес отвечайте так Во истину Воскрес Христос .

Thank you for this, father. Humility month! ❤️☦️
Thank you and God bless
Humility is key, for humility is a virtue that mirrors the image of God in us. Keep striving to do His will and, even when you falter along the way, remember that He always welcomes back the prodigal son.
Let us take back June and every other thing that is precious to the Almighty God of heaven. We have been commanded to go in and take possession of the LAND. Let us therefore be COURAGEOUS and do so!!
What a great title
Thank you
I drove my a church yesterday with that flag out front and thought that is an abomination. There is a Catholic church in the town my wife works in that used to ring bells until about 5 years ago at noon each day, now they fly that flag and never ring the bells.
That's not a church. there is One Holy Catholic Apastolic Church. There are many apostate and heretical places that call themselves a church that put these flags on their buildings. Lord have mercy.
They stopped being Catholic a long time ago
Photini pray for us! Let my pride be destroyed.
