      Any new books in the pipeline Father? I've enjoyed so many of your books previously, Orthodoxy and the kingdom of Satan spoke to me like no other theological book by anyone. I wish you could see the positive impact it has had on my life. Thank you Sir and please keep doing what you are doing. 🙏

      If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is THE only way to Heaven?
      Revelation 20:15 ''Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.''
      Through Jesus Christ, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways,
      from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him.
      Biblical explanation of the Gospel:
      God doesn’t want anybody in hell, but you must understand why
      we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go
      there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but
      rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam
      sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23)
      The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). Since we have all sinned, we all deserve hell.
      Revelation 21:8 says that all liars will go to hell. Yes, even if you have lied once in your life, you are sentenced to hell - that's how
      high God's standards are of moral perfection because God is holy and righteous, there is not one sin in Him.
      For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ
      - for He lived a sinless life, died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day.
      None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all
      have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us
      are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
      guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). Our carnal mind is hostile to God; it does not submit
      to God's moral law and it never will (Romans 8:7). We hate the thought of God for the same reason a criminal
      hates a policeman - we know we have sinned against God and are guilty of it and we don't want to be damned.
      No good works will ever save you. You can't earn salvation by good works, because God will judge us for our sin.
      Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life and He died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
      He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
      For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever
      believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16)
      We aren’t saved by our good works, but only by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
      ''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -
      not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
      Jesus said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins
      (past, present, future) to be forgiven only IF we repent and trust in Him.
      This is how you can get saved from sin and hell - repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ. Get to know Him
      by reading God's Word.
      So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.” (Luke 11:13)
      ''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15)
      ''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19)
      Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8).
      Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
      While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10).
      Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.
      If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6)
      (John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
      If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually.
      When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance
      until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)
      Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
      ''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7)
      If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousnes -
      to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God.
      You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace
      revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son.
      ''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17)
      ''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10)
      You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ.
      As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so.
      In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.''
      ''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19)
      ''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41)
      ''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body,
      but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21)
      ''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,
      just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4)
      ''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God,
      who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12)
      Please get right with God and get to know Jesus Christ personally today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!
      "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
      Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!
      Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''

      Orthodox Christians in the USA and Canada are facing one aspect of the new system before the rest of the world. We have a taste of it in Europe, but from what people tell me is happening in their home cities, the move to attack the Church has certainly begun. The educqtion system is being used as a weapon against truth, if possible, avoid handing your children over to the state education systems, especially in California and New York. God bless you.

I've been asking God whether He wants me to continue through the tribulation to help my children. However keep getting so weak cant help anyone. I'm trying to have God tell me whether I will survive this or not. I need to know whether to quit my business. Started teaching piano again 2 weeks ago after a 1 year break, to try to get my spirits up. However the left Femur wants to break and today a rib broke causing me extreme pain. Finally yesterday God helped me get over the rage against my body. Hes been healing all of the trauma I grew up with. Wondering if God is increasing my faith to help others during this awful time.

Because I don't have their interpretation I have, in the way that you described, treated them as parts in a time jigsaw. Although the visions are not of my imagination, since they come to me spontaneously without premeditation, I am learning to take strength from them. I am troubled by your teaching on the antichrist, I did not know that antichrist means 'in place of Christ', may judgement forbid all machinations of antichrist, his government, religiosity and place.

      How? I'm a former atheist. Looking back it's laughable. It's literally the dumbest position one could hold. I've listened to top athiest debators and they're pathetic. Watch Jay Dyer and Matt Dilahaunty. Matt is a prominent athiest with a talk show. Through the whole debate he sat there like a lost school boy getting absolutely wrecked by Dyer. You should watch Jay, he's the best apologist out there. Check out James Tour, too. Organic chemist with over 120 patents to his name, who has made nanobots that race along the breadth of a hair. Literal genius and super passionate defender of the faith.
      There is no evidence at all for abiogenesis, macro evolution, and the whole premise of not being able to assert what the first cause is yet asserting their is no God at the same time is hilariously banal.
      Also, I don't care what anyone say, *you must be born again* if you have not had some type of born again experience where you *know* and feel the unmistakable presence of the Most High, you need to cry out to Him to reveal Himself to you. I had a profound, profound born again experience, I was a materialist and an atheist and God totally transformed me and now I'm a pastor.
      I *still* have a skeptical mind. In the sense that I default to disbeliefing in supernatural phenomena and whatnot. If some weird coincidence happens, I do not by default think it's God giving me a sign, for example. If I have a dream I don't by default think it means something profound. And lemme tell you, supernatural phenomena is unquestionably, indubitably, without a doubt 10000% real. I have had so many experiences I can't even keep track.
      Call out to Him. Jesus Christ is the incarnate God, the 2nd person of the Godhead who came into the world to save sinners and so we could know Him. He is knowable. He is close. He is easily seen and experienced if you genuinely seek Him.

The Apostles asked Jesus to teach them one thing, “Lord, teach us to pray.” Jesus gives us the perfect outline. Adoration. Confession. Thanksgiving. And Supplication. Heed His promises and hold on to them! He wants us to come to Him like a Father. “Peter do you love me?” Sometimes I will tell Jesus how much I love Him. Open my heart and tell Him how much I need Him and that I need His Spirit. I believe if your heart is His, He will show you His face in a way that will change you as though the World is a new.

    I had grown up with my Ukrainian grandmother who was Orthodox .
    I think you have explained this extremely well. it is a good time to review it, while not rendering ourselves into panic.
    I n connection I think quiet time and reflection allows an open communication to be available, like a good relationship open to talking at any time. well that is how I feel at times and when we have a slowed downed life we have a better connectivity. I believe this has really helped me to become a better listener, a better person ; and for me that has made a huge difference. I was warned about a certain shot.
    Thank you for explaining this at a time where I felt alone

    • @archiebg487
      @archiebg487 Před rokem +1

      Actually, the word itself is used primarily in clerical sense to describe the Church Councils which took place during the times of the Eastern Roman Empire. Those are the Ecumenical Councils. You can look them up. Because of the Councils we have the canons of the Church which guides us strictly in our path to salvation in the Church. But the world doesn't stand that the True Church of Christ gives to humanity a clear way to the Kingdom of God. The world creates a poisonous double - the ecumenical movement. In essence it is an effort to unite all false philosophies and world religions (which oppose Orthodoxy) into one in order to deceive the whole world. That is why globalism and the monoculture as Father Spyridon described it, is so dangerous and we must guard ourselves as it will try to seduce many. True doctrine doesn't mix with poison, and it is up to us through God's grace and mercy to stay vigilant against this peril.

    Thank you for the video. I have read the book you recommend and it was very helpful in understanding the Orthodox perspective with regard to these issues.
