People here seem to not understand the Father's message, he is not saying that it doesn't matter to be a good person, as a commenter here said that he is preaching Sola Fide theology, he is saying that it doesn't matter what you are, just come to the Body of Christ, the Church, and Christ will handle the rest. In other words, it's not a prerequisite to be a good person, or if you are a Christian you are by default going to be a good person. No, you are struggling and gonna keep struggling so you can attain God's grace and get healed from your sins and passions. We are all sinners,we are all sick, no-one of us is good, only God is good, and we have faith in him so we can become good, as He intended and to stop being in this sickly state of sin.
FINALLY someone who says it straight like that. No more mysticism and mystery about "the mysterious ways of the Lord" and yadda yadda. Just plain, practical talk for real people living in the real world. God bless you, father. And may you achieve Theosis quickly.
I know. It’s a strawman argument and not a very good one. Instead if good, he should have gone with chaste, because at least there are plenty of Christians out there weilding the religion to enforce strict purity standards and social conservatism.
Jesus say if you love me you’ll follow my commandments and no there is no good person no not one this is bible one o one Stop spreading a false message this is dangerous

@Russell Phelan Who the hell said anything about secular? Why do Christians assume? I stated facts! Christians I talk to preach the trinity. I show how it’s unbiblical and they respond the same way. “You’re going to hell unless you believe in the trinity.” I say show me that verse. They never can because it doesn’t exist. And I know a lot about Christianity. But again that’s just you assuming again that I don’t.
As I've also heard it said, "Christ did not die to make bad men good, but to make dead men live"
Oh man that's a great comment! Yes! Most definitely.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I appreciate what you said here, so deep. God bless your journey in Orthodox Christianity and as a Priest.
This message is THE message, the good news. Great breakdown I'll definitely sub, God bless.
Exactly
Who says that? I never heard that one. People don’t think we are all evil.
I know. It’s a strawman argument and not a very good one. Instead if good, he should have gone with chaste, because at least there are plenty of Christians out there weilding the religion to enforce strict purity standards and social conservatism.
You just need to recognize your flaws and approach God. He will use you for good.
I dont think this guy is catholic
He isn’t. He’s an orthodox priest.

God wouldn’t have given the commandments to obey if it weren’t possible for us to do so.
To say otherwise renders God into a liar.

@@zacharynelson5731 have you lied before ?
But I like who I am. I don’t need Jesus to feel like I am worthy of love.
Sounds like Sola Fide nonsense.
It isn’t
Much more than being a good person. It’s about teaching idolatry and “you’re going to hell “, unless you believe in the truth idolatry trinity.
He who has not sinned cast the first stone with love, the priest will se our Father and know his heart
@@stopwithitnowthx next time come up with a good sentence.
