Thank you for this video. It makes way more sense than the Original Sin version. I left Mainstream Evangelical Christianity 3 years ago and have been studying the Bible on my own. The things that the Holy Spirit has revealed to me thus far as I study on my own and have been confirmed by my investigation into Orthodox Christianity are: 1} The Garden of Eden exists all around us. The organ within our body to perceive it has been turned off. 2} Communion should be with yeasted bread. 3} Worshipping Yahweh on the Sabbath is a mystical experience whereby I enter into Paradise Lost and walk with Him along with the saints and angels in the Holy Place where they dwell. 4} That salvation is not some 'once and done' prayer that gives me a ticket to heaven, but that I chose to keep His commandments and ordinances day by day and live a holy life set apart to him. I am in a covenant relationship with Him. I've learned so much from you Deacon Ezra. This is my second time around listening to your video series.
3:08 Jesus Is The Christ, The Son of The Living God.

God bless you and keep you safe and healthy and full fall you with his holy spirit. wisdom. knowledge. For the seirven of God now to ages and ages amen
I see that these videos were made years ago but I’m enjoying them. I’m curious how Psalms 7:2 as referenced and quoted by the writer of Hebrews in Hebrews chapter 1 is to be seen in all of this. In what sense did the eternal Son “become” much superior to the angels and in what sense was the Son “begotten” and how was that different from times previous? There is a line of demarcation when it says “today I have begotten you”, that marks today from days previous and changes the nature of things in days future.
How does 1 Corinthians 15:24 play into this as well? Somehow the Son rules until he subdues all his enemies and then he delivers the Kingdom to his Father.
I have a deep love for my brothers and sisters in the Eastern and Western churches and sense the Lord drawing his Church into more unity as His Euangelion continues its work throughout world. Blessings to you my brothers and sisters.
What contributed the Virgin Mary to Christ conception? He is pre-existent but His humanity is not, but then at the ascension His humanity is eternal, is this Humanity eternal, started with Mary, did Mary give Him His humanity? Any help would be appreciated!
Why did the father deacon do the sign on the cross upside down on himself?
I see what you mean but that wasn't an inverted or upside down cross. We sign the cross head to heart, right to left and some return to the heart.
Because he is doing the correct, Apostolic signing. The 'upside down' one is a Roman Papist pagan invention long after the fact (1054 AD)
