No, you're wrong. Theologically, he's Eastern Orthodox, just very radical. He believes that Orthodox churches fell to heresy. As for apostolic succession, he claimed repeatedly that he believes in it. But just like priestless Old Believers, he says that he doesn't know any legitimate bishop who could've ordained a priest. And by legitimate he means the one with apostolic succession. Most of bishops, he claims, are heretics and hence they don't have succession. His words, though, not mine
@@russianchristianity hmm, so a lone individual deciphers what is Orthodox? Hmm I'm not in total disagreement but I nor him or you can decide heresy alone. He's excommunicated by his own views, that's actually heretical protestantism as even old calendarists say as much

“His own version of Eastern Orthodox Christianity…” seems to me to be a contradiction in terms. We either submit ourselves to communion in the Church or set ourselves as judge over it, which is to usurp God’s role. Rightly do the Orthodox Saints recognize this mode of operation as “prelest”-spiritual delusion. May God deliver us from such. IMO we should maintain our own convictions-there is plenty to reasonably criticize and question in modern medical philosophy and corrupt practice, for example-but we must hold these in humility. We must maintain the traditional teachings and practices of the Church without legislating all of it on others. If we are being more strict on others than the most Saintly of true spiritual fathers, this is a problem. God gives man freedom-otherwise there is no room for growth in faith and love in the image of Christ, whose Self-sacrifice was completely voluntary. One wonders how such a man can continue to make a living, given his business practices.
Well, he believes that he's holding the authentic Orthodox faith and most of Orthodox Churches fell to heresies. I'm not in a position to judge, however
Good observation. This demonic “Pharisaical” spirit infects many in all religious traditions. The Orthodox Saints have quite a bit to say about it. It is a blight and a cancer on our humanity.
+3:45 what is the "Old Calendar which has an eight year difference with both the Julian and Gregorian calendar"? Is that like he uses the Julian 2016 or Julian 2032 calendar, but for this year (Gregorian/Julian 2024)?

@@russianchristianity Thanks. I still don't understand his calendar, but he has a kind of Septuagint-onlyism, like Protestant KJV-onlyism. And the eight years seem to be to do with the book of Daniel and the exact year the prophecy predicted the Messiah would be sent. I guess there are differences in the various translations of the Torah and of Daniel, etc which are seen as intentionally distorting scripture, rather than just human errors that don't change the underlying meaning of the text.

What does this have to do with Russian Christianity?

In other words a Religious Fanatic with his own Private Religion.
I think in older times, most people were like him ? Okay, society has changed but has morales changed ? If God created morales, which He did, they don’t change in time. Yes, he is radical on some things. Yes, homosexuality is a grave sin, but do you refuse the sinner to come at your shop ? This guy is surely interesting, born in the wrong time period but still has to deal with it
This is a story about why religious fundamentalism fails humans and that, to be a useful contributer to society as well as a Christian, the individual is forced to be less than radical fundamentalist. Instead, they have to become somewhat, partially, humanist as well as religous. Religious fundamentalism is not the virtue of humility. Still, he is an interesting person.
Nonsense. One canot be to radical in loving Christ. And Christianity is not to help humans live a more comfortable or pragmatic life. It is the ascetic struggle to rid our selves of sin and achieve theosis.
@arnoldvezbon6131 it's possible to demonstrate the love of Christ to others by providing practical/pragmatic comfortable means that meet their needs e.g. provide a car to take the elderly to church instead of them, otherwise having to walk. Jesus did these acts of kindness regularly.
@@HJEvan Now you are moving the goal post. Self sacrifice is a Christina virtue. The word humanist refers to a distinctly anti Christian moral framework that is atheistic and subjective. What does the Bible say about lukewarm believers like you are suggesting? Revelation 3:15-18
@@HJEvan So you are not satisfied with Christs teaching? You need to add on some worldly teachings? And also you said you can be "radical" in you following of Christ this is also ridiculous.

Further, You wont find the word "empathy" in the Bible by the way. And "niceness" is not a Christina virtue. You are using these worldly terms so you might want to do some introspection and prayer.
In his overly extreme attempt to avoid heresy, he fell right into it himself.
You must be a homosexual. You probably think Jesus accepts you but you are wrong.
