In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit one God amen ,Ethiopian orthodox church

You shouldn’t use anecdotal evidence (‘this is my experience’) to make general points (‘it’s not political’). Of course it is political. Of course it is economic. Of course it is social and of course it is individual. Society is becoming individualised and fractured - atomised. So is the family. The demands of work, the after-effects of the pandemic, rising social morbidity, poverty, inequality, insecurity and precarity combine to create a complex set of conditions, which cannot be reduced to ‘if only we could go back to how things were in the 60s’. Humanity, guidance and compassion is why we look up to our Priests. This is their role in Orthodoxy. Not attempts at socio-economic analysis.

Well, I don’t believe that lust is a sin as long as it doesn’t hurt others. People in the porn industry to my knowledge, get in from consent, therefore it’s not harmful. I think you are too obsessed with the passions of your desires, and not focusing on the energy of God and the universe. Our body isn’t something to be ashamed about. I don’t act like I’m better than others if I watch porn or not. I acknowledge the passions of my desires, and act accordingly if I want to or not. I don’t think porn addiction is a real thing, therapists seem to agree on that. I think what’s more important is to focus on real life, and to stop shaming ourselves whether we like porn or not

Die marriage too. In one hindu culture they don't remove marriage out of the women(thali too ) even if husband dies, "the spirit lives with them itseemed, for them that's just fantasy though... ... What "a great death do us part", greater there.. ... They don't live with two whatever happens.. Pure pristine lovely greatest .. What sanity, dignity, decency, "life itself"". In the same place where sathy deaths is there, this empowered were also there.

And yet the orthodox allow divorce

So simple and so amazingly true. Thank you very much.

Can't argue with that brother. The gospel is always right

The Bible does not give you choices. You're reading off the wrong subs

When everything is stripped of man then they truly get to see what is important. Some of the most awful suffering in my lifetime has also been the most eye opening.

I have all of you on my Skype

Are you going to tell anyone that the Union between an Asian and an Indian is an American Union? Get a life!!

There is nothing in the Gospels that says that Judas loved God (Jesus).. Nor does it teach us that Judas performed miracles.

Money - Ananais and Saphira

The tiny exception for divorce is cheating

Guy in the beginning sounds like the snake in Eden - “if you reallly love somebody, you gotta call sin good”

No man can truly repent, for even his bones are sinful 😮

A L W A Y S !!!

Who here is married to the same person as it says by name in the scriptures? Til death do us part doesnt apply to eternal souls.

All Protestant ignorance and hate led by the heresy of Sola Scriptura. Dear friends, argumenting with the Bible only won't lead you to anywhere as you all go in circles. And surprise for you: - Sola Scriptura came around 15 centuries after the Church was created, rather strange, don't you think? - Have you ever been to Rome, to the ancient catacombs, or any other ancient churches (much older than your local 50 years old Protestant church). You may be (un)pleasantly surprised to see icons with saints and the Mother of God. - Have you ever thought that the Bible came to existence as a canon about 300 years later. And did you know it was the Orthodox church that made the canon. Rather ironic I would say. - Did you know thay you can't find all the information in the Bible? Actually, the Bible is a part of the Holy Tradition.)(John 21:25) - Read also James, strongly recommended. I wish you all success in discovering the True Light!

Judas was set up!

Very interesting

Some people claim a (neo) gnostic line from Magdalene i have been looking more into that lately

Amen

No! Were his parents married?

Um maybe this guy should read more Bible to know what the Bible says about speaking in Tounges. Bible says that when you steak in gongues - you speak mysteries. You speaj directly to God - its our spirit prayer the perfect prayer. This clown - makes me mad.

Sick people in the comments

You obviously have never been "pegged" by your wife 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ignorant people

We all want change

The devil will lose anyway. Christians are destined to win. God is on our side and we can't lose. False religions like Islam and catholicism will fail

For a long time I wanted a wife and family, but was a prisoner to my demons: perversion, self love, marijuana abuse and alcohol abuse. Marriage is something we must be worthy of. How can a person who doesn't go to church be worthy, for example? They cannot.

I was born gay though. I’ve always been different. I’ve been attracted to the same sex since I can remember. I didn’t choose it. So…yeah. It’s not the same as getting over alcoholism.

Man and woman have been living together out of wedlock since God created them. The sin-out-of-marriage thing is just religious exceptionalism.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 really?

100%

Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

I love my children, and i hate alot of the things they like and do. But i still love them!

Are we to be serving God? I am studying and see that there are 2 groups. Prophets and Servants.

Very good, really enjoyed this. Would encourage anyone to study learn and find out more for you..yourself (best thing ever to welcome God into your heart) go have a chat to your local Church... like..it raises your vibration.. its the correct way of living as a Human being .. filling you with light and love.. try for God.. he's got your back .. always. We gotta get back on track with God in this world more than ever.. work on ourselves towards God.

What he says about Judas is great. He did love God. Just as many of us do, we still sin and betray God. Some of us do it even more than Judas and betray God on a daily basis.

The pleasure of sin is what keeps many people going back for more. The devil loves to use inordinate affection to enslave people in the death of sin. Don't allow the devil to deceive you and do you dirty because it is deadly destruction.

If you're going to apply gods standards then show me how you know your god exist in order to impose that standard. And if your reason for believing in your god is a reason anyone else who believes in a different god can use then you can't justify your belief using that method.

I have something called "Blue balls" people may think it is a joke or just a wive's tale but for me its a reality. My tubes get swollen if they have build up for longer than 1-2 days, thus I need to 'empty' them otherwise I have pain and discomfort. I feel like I'm sinning but it isn't my fault that I have to masturbate, I don't know what to do and I hope I do not get punished for something out of my control.

Pope said same thing

AMENN

You are not understanding how it works you do not speak in tongues to speak a different language but to speak to god privately

Utter stupidity

Homosexuals know theyre perverse. It kills me when some pretend its not.

All we can and should do as Christians is pray for them, love them and hope they turn away from sin and turn towards God.

TRUE Christian love as Jesus but we are not asked to accept that lifestyle. Whether it is drinking, doing drugs or they are gay we are called to love the person not the lifestlye. I will not tell one to quit drinking nor doing drugs nor being gay, I simply pray God gives them the strength and mind set to get clean. Jesus l9ves every person doesnt mean he accepts the thungs we do. Just remember everytime you point out someones faults better look in a mirror and point out your own!!!
