      I agree with that 100%. I look to The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, but I also look at the apostles, the monks, and the saints. They are the best of humanity and show us the truth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

I just saw the video and i understood that elder Ephraim of Arizona was the little boy named Gabriel who visited saint Paisios, and after that encounter with the saint, became a monk and received the name Ephraim. It's the same for almost all monks, they receive new names when they enter the monastic life. Even saint Paisios, "Paisios" isn't his real name.

      Hi everyone, I am not familiar with the story in the video but just to clarify, this is not the story of Elder Ephraim of Arizona whose original name was John ("Ioannes" or "Ιωάννης" in greek), and always had John the Baptist as his guide. Elder Ephraim was raised with a strong orthodox christian background and his love for Jesus Christ helped him to become a monk in mt Athos despite being incredibly weak physically.

We see a young boy who visits saint Paisios on mont Athos who discovered that the saint knew that he had an angel name, who was Gabriel, and latter became a monk. And as we know, elder Ephraim became a monk, and could have been a student of saint Paisios, even if i'm not sure if both of them lived in the same time. I just made a deduction. And if it's not about elder Ephraim, well, the person who posted the video deceived us.

      What makes you believe there is no god? There is no contradiction between science and faith. As a matter of fact, quite the contrary. Many of those who have studied the depths of the cosmos, the smallest of organisms, matter, and existence as a whole, who were atheist when they began their endeavors in the scientific community, ended up believing without a shadow of doubt in a divine creator. One who exists outside of our understanding of space and time, remember that the most renown astrophysicists constantly say not only the universe, but also existence as a whole is far more complex than we will ever be able to comprehend even in a hundred years. For every discovery leads to more complexity that leads to more questions.
      Our understanding of the laws of physics and the structure of the universe merely help us understand “how”. But it is faith and understanding of God that helps us to understand the more important question of “why”.

      @@alicrowYou gotta understand this my friend. Saint Paisios was a holy Saint, Criticizing Saint Paisios of Mount Athos for discerning the hearts of men misunderstands both the role of saints and the nature of spiritual gifts as described in the Bible. While it is true that only God fully knows what is in a man's heart (1 Kings 8:39), the Bible also shows that God can grant His servants the ability to perceive and understand things beyond ordinary human capacity.
      For instance, in the New Testament, Peter discerned Ananias and Sapphira’s deceit without being told (Acts 5:1-10). Similarly, Elisha knew the secret actions of the king of Aram (2 Kings 6:12). These examples demonstrate that God can reveal the thoughts and intentions of others to His chosen servants.
      Saint Paisios, like other saints, is believed to have been granted such spiritual gifts through the Holy Spirit, not by his own power. His deep prayer life and devotion to God allowed him to serve as a vessel for God's grace. To dismiss his insights as mere illiteracy or falsehood is to ignore the biblical precedent for God working through His servants in extraordinary ways.
      Therefore, while it's important to scrutinize claims critically, we should also acknowledge the scriptural basis for the spiritual gifts that saints like Saint Paisios are said to have received.
