I agree with that 100%. I look to The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, but I also look at the apostles, the monks, and the saints. They are the best of humanity and show us the truth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Saint Paisios is a holy Saint. Once you have an experience with an actual Saint, nothing in your life will be the same again. And everything changes in your life.
@@Yashodharpoornima2514 Really? Brother we are so close and you want to insult us because you disagree with one thing our church does!? How sad. We love the orthodoxy in the Roman Catholic church but all I ever see is snarky rude comments from orthodox Christians :( We love you and are so close. I hope you can come around to your preconceived notions about us, your brothers in Christ…. We pray for you.
@@FaithfulComforteryeah, that's his story. After having heard that, it can't be anyone else but elder Ephraim of Arizona. I don't have any source for that, it's just a deduction. I just saw the video and i understood that elder Ephraim of Arizona was the little boy named Gabriel who visited saint Paisios, and after that encounter with the saint, became a monk and received the name Ephraim. It's the same for almost all monks, they receive new names when they enter the monastic life. Even saint Paisios, "Paisios" isn't his real name.
Hi everyone, I am not familiar with the story in the video but just to clarify, this is not the story of Elder Ephraim of Arizona whose original name was John ("Ioannes" or "Ιωάννης" in greek), and always had John the Baptist as his guide. Elder Ephraim was raised with a strong orthodox christian background and his love for Jesus Christ helped him to become a monk in mt Athos despite being incredibly weak physically.
@@antonisano4182 so, if it's not his story, why did he appear in the video? We see a young boy who visits saint Paisios on mont Athos who discovered that the saint knew that he had an angel name, who was Gabriel, and latter became a monk. And as we know, elder Ephraim became a monk, and could have been a student of saint Paisios, even if i'm not sure if both of them lived in the same time. I just made a deduction. And if it's not about elder Ephraim, well, the person who posted the video deceived us.
Nah its completly different. There was one case similar with a gay couple where one guy passed away and the other went to meet St Paisios. Check out St Paisios life and you will see a lot of these miracles.
What makes you believe there is no god? There is no contradiction between science and faith. As a matter of fact, quite the contrary. Many of those who have studied the depths of the cosmos, the smallest of organisms, matter, and existence as a whole, who were atheist when they began their endeavors in the scientific community, ended up believing without a shadow of doubt in a divine creator. One who exists outside of our understanding of space and time, remember that the most renown astrophysicists constantly say not only the universe, but also existence as a whole is far more complex than we will ever be able to comprehend even in a hundred years. For every discovery leads to more complexity that leads to more questions. Our understanding of the laws of physics and the structure of the universe merely help us understand “how”. But it is faith and understanding of God that helps us to understand the more important question of “why”.
@@Koch3665 no but reading a mans heart ? To know what is in a man heart that is God alone. 1 king 8:39. If he only knew his name that would be fine. Bunch of biblically illiterate people defending a false and a depraved video
@@alicrowYou gotta understand this my friend. Saint Paisios was a holy Saint, Criticizing Saint Paisios of Mount Athos for discerning the hearts of men misunderstands both the role of saints and the nature of spiritual gifts as described in the Bible. While it is true that only God fully knows what is in a man's heart (1 Kings 8:39), the Bible also shows that God can grant His servants the ability to perceive and understand things beyond ordinary human capacity. For instance, in the New Testament, Peter discerned Ananias and Sapphira’s deceit without being told (Acts 5:1-10). Similarly, Elisha knew the secret actions of the king of Aram (2 Kings 6:12). These examples demonstrate that God can reveal the thoughts and intentions of others to His chosen servants. Saint Paisios, like other saints, is believed to have been granted such spiritual gifts through the Holy Spirit, not by his own power. His deep prayer life and devotion to God allowed him to serve as a vessel for God's grace. To dismiss his insights as mere illiteracy or falsehood is to ignore the biblical precedent for God working through His servants in extraordinary ways. Therefore, while it's important to scrutinize claims critically, we should also acknowledge the scriptural basis for the spiritual gifts that saints like Saint Paisios are said to have received.
He never said why he was there. The saint knew his reason and his name before. In mount athos they DO NOT HAVE phones nor communication with the outside world.
Athanasius once said one of the greatest proofs for God is the existence of the saints
Hallelujah, amen!!!

It's a great thing we're all the saints so long as we believe!

The Saints prove Orthodoxy is alive!
The beauty of orthodoxy
Beautiful. He was truly a saint.
One cannot understand the power of a Saint until he encounters it himself.
Saint Paisios, my favourite saint along with Saint Gabriel of Georgia
Hail orthodoxy ☝️☝️
Hail Christ.
Hail Jesus, - from a roman catholic
Hail the pope or jesus??

yeah that's not an orthodox bishop at the beginning lmao
Yeah it's just garbage AI lol. But the bishops do wear a similar vestment including a mitre at times
Don't worry, maybe he's a western rite priest
Is this the equivalent of an Ai generated praying pitbull on Facebook that old people comment amen to or an actual thing?

Because he hadn’t been informed about what his name is, yet knew it anyway.
You are dumb .. he had clairvoyance..

@@markusklyver6277because that’s not how going to visit a saint in mt athos works 😂

Could easily be explained away by a phone call or even a letter
then they find out the other priest sent a letter ahead telling him of the guys arrival
Lol 🤣
