My journey is from islam to Protestant to now realising that the faith I claim to be apart of I do not know. By the grace of God I am now seeking to become Orthodox, I am currently coming to terms with the desecration of the faith by the era of enlightenment to make it more to taste with the atheism of that time and the falling away by reason of unreasonableness from man thinking he was more reasonable than God!
Glory be to God. We who were born in the Orthodox faith (not religion) can learn so many things from each other. I was respectfully wishing to say that Eve ate of the fruit of the tree. It is only through art and other narratives that it was depicted as an apple...but as far as I'm aware it doesn't say that it was an apple in the Bible. Please forgive me if this seems like a petty comment. I only considered mentioning it because our new brother in Christ has got such sound Orthodox theological knowledge that a lot of cradle Orthodox Christians may not even be aware of, and God's grace through him can teach us so much. God bless
Superb interview, I love the freshness of Paul’s view of the Faith. Converts have so much to teach us
The Fall from the garden of Eden is due to the pride of humans towards the Lord that led to disobedience. If we look at our behavior right now is once again our pride that keeps us away from our Saviour. Trying to adjust our worshipping to our own measurements indicates our persistence to our pride and resistance to becoming humbled to the Will of Jesus our Lord and Saviour. It is the apostolic traditions and teachings since the Church was established back 2021 years ago that gives us the right way of worshipping in order to stay in communion with our Lord. Nothing thereafter. Orthodoxy is the one preserving that tradition and teaching unchanged.

Thanks Herman and Paul
I like people that can see the Church from an angle, not just the facade of the ritual, the conformity to tradition (nothing wrong it's a beautiful and necessary aspect) But sometimes when looking sideways you get glimpses of the Light that is in it's core, what is essential, what informs all the rites and traditions, that elusive Light of understanding of the two ways (Light and death) as something eternally real, full of hope, wonder and fear of the Lord.
I've been watching various videos on Orthodoxy for the past week or so. I'm a cradle Orthodox myself and though I feel extremely blessed and thankful that I was born into the faith, often times I find myself taking it for granted. I have found listening to people who have found the faith after a long path that many times entails great struggle to be deeply moving and just the thing I need to recenter me. With that said, I have read numerous comments and wanted to let you know that yours is possibly the most beautifully put of all. You've managed to capture exactly what I was thinking about the ritual- not taking it for face value but scratching beneath the surface to be touched by the splendor of the Mystery. Thank you! Be well and God bless =)
@@marian.9026 That's fascinating, because for someone born outside of the faith I feel incredibly thankful that I was not born into any religion and effectively brainwashed as a child to believe in bronze age mythology :).
A very helpful interview. I’ve shared it with my family.
Glad to be watching more thoughtful work!
This is a great section to share, but even better is the entire unedited video. Thanks for this interview!
Great work and also great interview. Thank you! 🙏
A clearly articulated talk about the path to salvation.
The rotoscope effect was kinda weird tho :)
Thank you - so well expressed.
Well spoken.
🙏
Doamne ajuta frate
Wow!
Congratulations, you've got religion and tradition.
Now you gotta have Jesus. Not as an addition to your life, but as a foundation. Read the Bible, because you've come this far, God will lead you.
The cartoonish overlay to the interviewer, I find distracting.
haha xD why are you like the only person to say something about this.
Ha... I thought that was some sort of glitch or bad connection.....
@@princezzpuffypants6287 i thought the exact same. Like what they heck is this terrible video setting? And now I realize it was intentional *shudders*
BOOOOO RELIGION BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
