As a former Seventh-day Adventist now Orthodox of the Antiochian tradition I just want to say the most hearty Thank You Fr. Josiah for calling out Ellen White among the false cornerstones. Alleluia, glory be to God for the Orthodox Faith☦️
❤
What’s the difference between Antiochian orthodox church and Greek and Russian orthodox etc.
@xxrandmlinksxxbruh2419 the language they speak and some traditions. It's not different doctrine or beliefs.
I agree that White should be rejected. But, I rebuke you for accepting the heresy of the conciliar decrees that damn men to hell for KEEPING the 7th day Sabbath. You are absolutely deceived by the devil of hell if you think a bunch of late-coming gentile bishops, 300+ years after Christ, were sanctioned by the "Lord of the Sabbath" to damn men to hell for keeping the 7th day Sabbath. Jesus spoke about such Tradition in Matt. 15:3, "Why do *you break the commandment of God for the sake of your Tradition?"*
Good on you for rejecting E.G. White. But, when did Christ sanction the Church to damn men to hell for keeping the 7th day Sabbath like "Orthodoxy" did?
Fr. Trenham,
Your “Rock and Sand” book was pivotal in my conversion from Evangelical Charismatic Protestantism. I was baptized into the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic church last Friday. Tonight will be my first Holy Pascha. Thank you for your obedience to our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
HE IS RISEN!!
as someone who is of Sephardi Jewish descendent who is currently converting to orthodoxy father this touched me thank you .. i weep bitterly over the sins of my people GOD BLESS YOU🙏
Welcome home, brother! If Jesus came to any other nation at that time, he would’ve been killed in 3 days after His sermon. He got 3,5 years with the Jews. Be proud.
@taliatut thank you sister! I find this very encouraging! GODBLESS YOU and exactly 💯
@@remnantcoptic are you converting in the Coptic church?
@taliatut yes iam !
@@remnantcoptic I see. Sorry to interrupt, but you should know that Copts confess that Jesus Christ has one nature and it is a heresy (Monophysitism). In other words, they fell away from the Orthodox Church many, many centuries ago and you might be missing out on the real grace of canonical and pure Orthodoxy. You should read more about it and what canonical Orthodoxy is.. I am Russian with Jewish descent. Consider it my gift to you for this Pascha and God bless you.
Thank you. I have watched these this week. My health is tenuous and as such I have not made it into church as I had hoped. I am glad I can learn this way.
Get well Mrs Vincent
Bless you . May the Lord's mercy come to you and restore you health
I pray your priest can find time to bring the Eucharist to you.
Thank you all. I am going to do my best to be at all the services this weekend since I do not have to work and can rest in between them all.
@@gingervincent1969i hope you can. blessed pascha to you
As an observant Catholic, I wish you all a wonderful Easter. God bless you.
God bless you too, brother 🙏
'Jesus is the cornerstone. No other cornerstone except Christ.' May God bless and keep you Father. Thank you for your words of faith 🙏🙏🙏
Lord have mercy I've fallen again please father pray for me the loneliest sinner
Very real….
Pick yourself up, brush yourself down, ask for more grace and go forward
Blessed are the poor in Spirit.
Never give up! I'm struggling, too. We all struggle. If you're not struggling or don't even feel the desire to get back up, you're already defeated. Trust and believe ☦️
There is no sin but that which is common to man! I love that verse. It changed my life. If you're repentant, rejoice. The Angels are rejoicing!
5:19 I jolted on my seat when you mentionned Russel. I'm an ex-JW. I love your video. Thank you for what you do.
Christ is King! ☦️
Blessed great and Holy Friday to all!
What a Blessing we have.
Καλή Ανάσταση 🙏
Greetings orthodox family. I'm new subscriber, love your work, thank you my beloved brother. CHRISTOS ANESTI ☦️
Thank you, you could not have released this video at a better time for me. Please keep up the great work. These videos have been a blessing in my life.
Beautiful
Hallelujah
Thank you, Jesus ❤️🔥✝️
How can anyone on the planet not see he is a Cornerstone? Even if you don't believe, you have to admit Christ is a Cornerstone.
❤Thank you ✝️🌟
I would love to attend one of this Fathers services. It’s amazing how he managed to do this video after doing Easter services the whole week!!
Love you Abouna.
Praise God 🙏
Thank you for teaching!!
Thank you. That’s an argument against the papacy
And all of Protestantism
Christ is risen
I’m trying with all my effort to be that living stone Fr.
First comment. :)☦️

Eulogi sas father
When Orthodox or Catholics claim their institution is the "one holy Catholic and apostolic church" and imply others are outside salvation, they invariably run into contradictions and have to resort to something akin to the Protestant "invisible church" idea to resolve them. (Catholics usually call this "the heavenly church" or something like that).
In the case of Orthodoxy, there isn't a single Orthodox Church - they started schisming as early as the third century, and today we have Oriental Orthodoxy (Armenia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iraq, India) against Eastern Orthodoxy (Greece, Ukraine) against Russian Orthodoxy (Russia). Russia and Ukraine are literally putting us all at risk of nuclear war due partially to this dispute. It isn't clear if Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, etc. align with either party. Then we have smaller schismatic groups, like the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, that were once regarded as heretics but suddenly become full Orthodox when they reach a property agreement with one of the patriarchs. (Can you even imagine God sending you to hell one day, and then counting your soul redeemed the next, simply because people you've never met in a home office reach an agreement about the clergy pension plan with another Orthodox outfit?)
In Russia, we had a supposed true church underground, that wouldn't accept the KGB-managed church. I understand that's all good now.
Some time ago, the Oriental and Eastern Orthodox agreed to let bygones be bygones and accept each other as valid churches. (This seems to gloss over some questions about the Biblical canon, as the Oriental Orthodox have a different set of deuterocanonical books, especially the Ethiopians.) But they aren't yet formally united. So obviously, the "one church" rule is pretty flexible.
Question: I want to become Orthodox; however, do I have this right? ...that there is no wiping of the Holy Communion spoon in between recipients?
You should contact the priest at the closest Orthodox church to you and meet with him; he will answer all of your questions.
Since the contents of the cup/spoon is the ACTUAL Body and Blood of Christ, why would the spoon need to be “wiped” ?
@@backinmyrightmindThis! ☝️
Im Old Ritualist Russian Orthodox, are we considered legitimate in america?
Doubt it.
ive never even heard of that. is that old believers?
If you're in Communion with a Canonical Orthodox Body yes.
There are Old Rite Russian Orthodox in America in Communion with the Moscow Patriarchate in the Northeast and Alaska mostly.
It depends. Some have re-established communion with canonical Orthodox jurisdictions (Moscow, Constantinople, etc.) but I think many are still schismatic. Do you have priests? If you are part a priestless Old Believer body you are definitely not in communion with the Orthodox Church.
With real respect, at 7:29, I would like to know how Fr Trenham defines “the gospel.” Asking as a Protestant who appreciates Luther and Calvin for the great amounts of good Christ accomplished through them.
Not the demonic and heretical Penal Subsititutionary Atonement. The Holy Fathers teach Christus Victor, the healing and glorification of our nature and the triumph over the devil, sin and death.
@@ElonMuskrat-my8jy may I ask why you think PSA is demonic?
I would suggest the book 'Arise, O God' by Fr. Andrew Damick. It does a wonderful job explaining what was meant by the gospel originally.
@@tjkhan4541 It divides the Holy Trinity, blasphemes the character of God, denies the Hypostatic Union of Christ being One Divine Person with two natures and takes the Harrowing of Hades to be Christ subjected to the torments of hell.
@@Pcytripper thank you for this
You must be born again! God is not done with Israel! Israel will rise at the thousand year reign! But Jesus being the King of Kings ruling the whole earth! ❤
Israel is the people who remained faithful to God (His Church), not a modern nation state.
@Joseph-Haddadokay I may need to correct my understanding myself, forgive me
The thousand years is symbolic of the period between the Ascension and his second coming on the last day in which he reigns in heaven with his saints. The first resurrection is the spiritual one in which believers pass through the ordeal of bodily death to spiritual life in heaven to await the bodily resurrection and general judgement on the last day. That is why John saw the souls of the Martyrs in heaven at the altar of God and called this the first resurrection in Revelation 20. There is no literal political reign of Christ in the carnal city of Jerusalem for a thousand years. David's throne is the heavenly throne where he sits now. He is exalted now. When he comes again, it will be the new heavens and new earth. No left behind narrative but the eternal state.
Acts 2 KJV
29Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. 30Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; 31He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. 32This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. 33Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
34For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
35Until I make thy foes thy footstool. 36Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
There are not two paths to salvation - only one, and the Israelis overwhelmingly reject that path.
5:22 and certainly not Muhammad! 😬
Have more care about Those barking Individuals in the comment section
One could argue that the Orthodox Church makes its own tradition into a cornerstone.
Christ himself says "you make the word of God of no effect, but by your tradition."
Leaven, even a tiny bit - spoils the whole loaf.
The Gospel will not suffer itself to be sealed in a jar and left to putrefy. It is quite apparent that the Holy Spirit used both Martin Luther and John Calvin to break open that jar.
Absolutely not.
@@andrewwebb2257One could argue this but they would be incorrect.
@@shobudski6776 add nothing, take nothing away. Innovation is for servants of Satan.
“Apparent” lol no
Well, The Ancient Church is always attack by "Christians " as Idolatry. For they failed to Understand a very important thing. Not everything is written down in the Bible, There are the Written and oral Traditions, Orthodox means "Right teaching". And you assume to call the Apostolic Tradition as " Traditions of men" you're probably deluded Because I've been A Protestant also before, and I can tell you that the Protestant Church did not even Hold what the Apostles Held and Died to Preserve. For Instance, Standing, Bowing and Prostrating during prayer.. Is an Ancient Christian Tradition from the Earliest Centuries Even Before Islam Came! Can you believe that??? Yet none of those Christians Regarded this Holy Tradition which came from Christ handed down to his Apostles. Instead they Abandoned it and Began Teaching and Creating what Seems "good" to them.
Modern "Christians" cannot even Prayed that way because they will say it looks to Islamic where as Islam only came 600 years after Christianity.
Like what I said there are oral Traditions Passed down By the Apostles,
Polycarp was a Quartodecimen.
Clearly, gentiles are grafted into the Commonwealth of Israel (Eph. 2:11,12,19).
Why have you rejected the Holy Calendar established by Christ through Moses (Lev. 23), the Feasts of which prophetically point to Christ (future tense-- Col. 2:17) and instead establish your own man-made calendar?
It was future from the perspective of the feast itself. Sabbaths are a shadow of things to come additionally because our Sabbath is the eternal rest of the kingdom of heaven as taught in the book of Hebrews. It is not the seventh day corresponding to the old creation. It is about the new creation. That is why the old is a "shadow". The old Law is a unit. To be under any of it is to be a debtor to all of it. That was Paul's argument in the book of Galatians. Jesus gives us the new law, his own commandments which internalize and expand the eternal elements of the old law but it is not the old law with part removed but Christ gives the new Law. The old law is not destroyed however, it is still valuable scripture but it is fulfilled and exists today for our instruction but we are not bound to it as a law of commandments and ordinances. St Paul argues this a great deal in Ephesians and Colossians. We are not under the old law of Moses but live instead within the new law of Christ. We reject the Judaizing heresy as a yoke of slavery. The new testament does not teach the continuation of obligatory weekly seventh Day Sabbath, feasts of old covenant, food laws etc. This is not continued as legislation in the New law of Christ but "Christ is the culmination of the law for the justification of all who believe" Romans 10:4.
"Israel AND the church" = Hebrew parallelism
There is also another false stone: ie, groups of Bishops.
Bishops are in succession from the Apostles because of their ordinations through which the ministerial priesthood within the general priesthood of believers is perpetuated and the Faith of Christ handed on.
This priest has a lot of explaining to do, because of his ecumenist statements. But his cult mind frame has forced him to not address his ecumenism. He's just another modernist and a weak leader.
Your revilesome stone-throwing has no meaning and proves that you are against Jesus and his Church.
@@dankmartin6510 That would have to be argued, not asserted. Fr. Josiah has said things indicative of ecumenism, and I cited sources proving it, in my critiques. It is important to guard the faith. Christ was a rebel, not a passivist. Passivism is a product of post-modernism, which has plagued society since the 1960's.
@@TruthBeTold7 In your original post not only did you not prove anything but you made nakedly made up assertions about his mental state and fitness to lead. You sir are just an unrepentant liar and are not part of the Faith at all.
@@dankmartin6510 You must be referring to someone else, because I never questioned his mental state. I cited my sources in the description boxes to my videos on him. There are no lies.
@@TruthBeTold7 You said he has a cult frame of mind - also you have cited and demonstrated nothing here. Are you so broken in your mind, and are the scales before your eyes so thick that you cannot even keep track of conversations you started?
7th day Sabbath was established by God (Gen. 2:2), affirmed by Moses (Ex. 20), kept by Christ (Lk.4:16), by Paul (Acts 17:2), by all believers everywhere since ancient times (Acts15:21).
Then, the "mystery of lawlessness" that was "already at work" in Paul's day, seduced the gentile converts that eventually formed Councils that literally damned men for KEEPING the 7th day Sabbath.
The Sunday resurrection did NOT abolish Shabbat. It fulfilled the Feast of Firstfruits.
I refuse to believe you were right because your conciliar decrees insist you can't err !
If you plan on keeping the sabbath I hope you are also observing according to the Law of Moses every sabbath day even special sabbath’s as well. Don’t you know every day is a sabbath day if you are in Christ Jesus? You error in holding and observing one part of the commandments but practice to not observe all the commandments. There was no law given that promises to give eternal life Galatians 3:21 and Colossians 2:16.
@@daversmack3585
1. Yes. We observe the Biblical moedim. We don't forsake God's Written Law for the "Church's" Oral Talmudism.
2. You misread Colossians 2:16 precisely backward. Who is more likely to be judged: the person keeping or breaking the Law? Context proves Paul was negating the "Traditions of men" (V8,22). We know Jesus, Paul, and the earliest gentile converts kept 7th day Shabbat (Lk. 4:16, Acts 17:2, Acts 13:41).
Sabbatarianism is a damning heresy as it put the person under the whole law and its curse of not keeping all of it. Leave the shadows of the old law and walk in the light of the reality of Christ!
Your sect can't be THE Apostolic church because the Apostles were Quartodecimens whose Passover bread was UNleavened.
The Greek Text could have used the word for un- leavened bread( Azymes) in the Eucharist but the word for leavened bread( Artos) was used instead, a loaf. The bread is unleavened figuratively as Paul describes..
@@deaconjohn7875
The Law DEMANDS UNleavened Passover. The text of Luke 22 calls it UNleavened. It was Passover. Period. Paul calls us UNleavened in regards to Passover because the Law requires UNleavened bread. Break your conciliar Talmudic conditioning. The Greek word can be used generally for "bread," in the sense that pitas, rye, white, wheat, leavened, unleavened, are all *bread.*
@@deaconjohn7875 Philo and Josephus referred to unleavened bread (matzah) as "bread" (artos). [cf. Spec. Leg., II, 158; Ant., II, 316 and Ant. III, 142]. The Gospel writers could use the general word for bread in the context of the Feast of Unleavened bread because everyone knew, beyond dispute, that it was UNleavened. Also, look at Eusebius's "Church History" (bk.5,ch. 24?), where Polycrates defends the ancient Quartodeciminism of Antioch "when the people throw out the leaven" versus Rome's false date that was canonized at Nicea, even though Polycarp was a 14er.
@@1ChasingRays We are not under the old Law and Christ is the Living Bread. Whatever the law demands are for when the laws and ordinances were in force,not now. We are not under the old law. Historically the church always used a loaf for the Eucharist. The dead unleavened bread is only of type....now the kingdom of God is likened unto a leavened loaf.
Luke 13
20And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? 21It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
@@1ChasingRays Keep believing your false Jewish fables, keeping you bound to the whole law. We have a new passover...Christ, Lamb of God and Living Bread.
Titus 1
10For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: 11Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. 12One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. 13This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 14Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. 15Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 16They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Your sect can't be THE Apostolic church because the Apostles were Quartodecimens whose Passover bread was UNleavened.
