@@vrajakishoridasi1637 I am a firm believer that Jesus taught Bhakti Yoga. I bet if you would have learned about Hesychasm you would have continued in those original values. Blessings 🙏

@@jeffmajewskiofs4114 yes, one of my parishioners made it for me. I think wood is more the Russian style of making them. I am not sure if there is any meaning.

@byzantinedeacon Thank you very much! I know that lestovkas are of Russian origin. ☦️📿

Although I think that here the focus is on our will married to God's will, whereas Hof's method is purely our will.

right, the key is the will. With out that union it becomes just a technique. Much like how many people do yoga in the west. They have divorced it from the religion.

@@yamsox I believe what the Gita teaches about Bhakti Yoga. There may be something universal in all transcendence but as the Gita says there is a better way. The world is waiting for Kalki. I believe Kalki has come and he has given us the most excellent path to Moksha. Jesus is Kalki. He is the way, truth, and the life and no one experiences Moksha apart from him. He is Moksha and for those that receive him, he will give the power of Moksha. He does so by taking away our Karma debt and giving us the power to be what he is. He is the definitive Guru and the last incarnation of Vishnu. There will be no others. Make him your mantra and he will free you from Kali Yuga. He will give you the power to be resurrected and end the transmigration of your soul. Blessings.

time to see a chiropractor?

I never said that. I said you are not praying with the body. You are praying only with the mind. The commandments say not to make a false witness. You are calling me a liar when I am not and breaking the commandment. There is a context that you are missing. In the Bible, the term “father” is used in various contexts. For example, Paul refers to himself as a spiritual father to the Corinthians, saying, “For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel” (1 Corinthians 4:15). Similarly, in the Old Testament, figures like Joseph and Job are described in fatherly roles (Genesis 45:8, Job 29;16) Jesus’ statement in Matthew 23:9 is understood by many scholars to be a warning against attributing ultimate spiritual authority to anyone other than God. It emphasizes humility and the recognition that all authority and fatherhood ultimately come from God. My title is a mere recognition of the service of spiritual fatherhood and nothing more, just like the apostle Paul had.

@@CuriousDils in some of our Indian Eastern churches they were no shoes. I hope you find something. You should be able to keep all the good things from your old religion. Don't let people tell you otherwise.

the atonement liturgy of the OT was to repair the damage done by sin. The sacrifices healed the people and creation. It made it and them sacred space again. There was no angry pacification of a deity. This is what Jesus does on the cross.

@@byzantinedeacon I understand that this is what you sincerely believe, but I just wanted to clarify which theory of the atonement this was related to. I personally am a proponent of PSA, but am interested in how fellow Christians view the atonement differently.

@@TristanPeyton I would not know what theory. It's what my church has always taught. Christ is risen from the dead, by death he trampled death and to those in the tombs he granted life.

Atonement means to mend or fix. Jesus defeats the power of the one who has the power of death. The one who has the power has it because we sin. The penalty of sin is self infliction.There is no vindictive jerk in the sky that is so angry he has to kill someone to appease that anger. Who would want to serve a God like that?

@byzantinedeacon so is your faith in Jesus, or our work of an outward showing of being baptized? Is it Him or our actions?

@@ernee100 1 Corinthians 3:9 says we work with God. Im just participating in the plan that God has with creation.

@byzantinedeacon yet content without context is pretext. You err because you've lost the theme of the scripture. Paul is not writing about working on his personal salvation. He labors in the field for other sheaves of wheat to bear future yield. Here's the context: 5What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role. 6I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. 7So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. 8He who plants and he who waters are one in purpose,a and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. 9For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.

@@ernee100 Here some context for you. Paul’s immediate context in 1 Corinthians 3:9 is about communal ministry, true but the broader biblical context supports the idea of personal responsibility and cooperation with God in the process of salvation. Here are some examples, 1. Personal Responsibility in Salvation: o Philippians 2:12-13: “Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed-not only in my presence but now much more in my absence-continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.” o This passage highlights the personal responsibility each believer has in their salvation, while also acknowledging God’s role in the process. 2. Cooperation with God: o 2 Corinthians 6:1: “As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.” o This verse shows that believers are indeed co-workers with God, emphasizing the partnership in the work of salvation and ministry. 3. Building on the Foundation: o 1 Corinthians 3:10-15: “By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved-even though only as one escaping through the flames.” o This passage continues from 1 Corinthians 3:9 and emphasizes the personal responsibility in building upon the foundation of Christ, which can be seen as a metaphor for personal spiritual growth and salvation. 4. Personal Growth and Fruitfulness: o John 15:4-5: “Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” o This passage underscores the necessity of a personal relationship with Christ for spiritual growth and fruitfulness. Hope I have not errored at all in my repsonse. I was very thorough. If you don't partpaite in your salvation you will not be saved. It should be logic.

@@hiphop74100 what is idolatry ?

@@byzantinedeacon Well look at the answer Jeffrey gave you!!

​@hiphop74100 Look at what I told him. It's just a picture of someone I love. Don't you have pictures of loved ones?

You realize that you have absolutely NO oblation in your so-called "services", right? Evangelicalism is a joke since they claim to be "Bible-believing Christians" yet there is no priesthood and no sacrifice. Therefore evangelicalism is NOT Christian. YOU need to be born again, and undergo catechesis for the One Holy Catholic and APOSTOLIC Church, which Christ Jesus started first. He PERSONALLY handed this duty to Peter (the very first Pope). ​@hiphop74100

Thank you for the input, I think I was using the same place you were quoting from. In his 400 texts on love St. Maximos says, “Passion is an impulse of the soul contrary to nature, as in the case of mindless love or mindless hatred for someone or for some sensible thing. In the case of love, it may be for needless food, or for a woman, or for money, or for transient glory, or for other sensible objects or on their account.” .In terms of what they are or their origin, I think there is a great deal of diversity in the Philokalia. I use love and eating because these impulses, which are normally good, are the most relatable and often get disordered and to someone exploring the tradition most relatable. As you say the cross is the way.

just trying to be an evangelist like you.

Thank you for the info, I'll try not to worship this piece of wood.

It's a universal battle and Jesus is lord over all.

What was your recent experience I have had many and he's right you overcome them without having fear ,call the name of Jesus,will immediately flee 🙏

We can trust him. I had to sleep with the lights on way into my 20's. I still get afraid some nights but Jesus taught me that he is trustworthy. He is never not with us and wants us to believe it

@@byzantinedeacon thank you, I feel like some days that I’m weird for being 23 and needing to sleep with the lights on. Jesus is a miracle!

@@BubbaSheesh Hang in there. It took me a long time to trust him. He is gentle and will continue to demonstrate his faithfulness to you.

Becoming a name is becoming a Son of God (John 1:12). We do that by participating or conformed (Romans 8:29) in the life that he has called us to walk in, the bible calls it partaking of the divine nature (2peter 1:4). If you are living this way the demons will fear you. If you a Christian who likes to get high and watch pornography when you go to cast a demon with the name of Jesus it will laugh at you because you are not that name.

right and I hope you will agree to the rest "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.…" If we are not doing the second part of that formula the devil is not going anywhere, especially in exorcism or deliverance ministry.

Can you show how I am lying? If you can I will repent.

I'm still waiting for how i lied. I promise to repent if you can prove this. If not, you are in sin by slandering a brother in Christ. Jesus said not to do that.

@@mmr1137 this world be a difficult one even for some Catholics.

think of it in this way: every Christian has the authority. However, if you are a Christian who enjoys pornography and using a ouija board the demons will laugh at you when you use that name.
