But that I didnt feel alone in my beliefs that I had prior to Orthodoxy. He helped explain, through his writings, how the world is messed up and that it further proves God and Orthodoxy.

Years later he remarried a very mean woman who separated him from his family and treats him worse than a dog. I became a transient who hated God and could never hold a relationship stuck being poor. I just found out about Orthodoxy and that my father was baptized 3 years ago and he left it immediately.

Dear American Orthodox Christians! You need to remember this state of your faith when it is hot, when it is steadfast and righteous, when it is pure as a tear and when it has the strength to resist worldly temptations. Right now, God is giving you that advance, that fat, with which you will be able to nourish yourself in the future, when in a difficult moment your faith becomes impoverished, when your strength runs out, when prayer dries up, when your heart hardens. Each person individually and the whole nation together can experience moments of decline, and it is then with all your heart and with all your soul that you kneel, asking God not to leave you. Before your eyes, now the Faith of your Ancient Fathers is winning hearts again, regaining healing power, and the weight of the word, and softening of hearts. Hugged you all warmly! And glory to Him at all times! ❤☦️🇷🇺

Didn’t Catholics completely ignore the commandment of not hacking or worshipping idols … and then split one commandment into two so that it would still be ten commandments??????? I’m seriously asking
Ezekiel 8:9-12 KJV 9 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. 10 So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about. 11 And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up. 12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.
my church is marthoma in India(kerela). it is like. orthdox one difference is Jesus is the only one mediator and he can only here. we don't use idols images we use the preast dresses in orthdox ther pray also to marthoma. difference is mediator I only like to pray to Jesus only to me we always respect Mary as mother of God.
You must be Protestant. That's what I'm gathering. Christ God is the only Mediator because He is both God and man fully, two natures united in His one divine Person. That's His Mediation of man to God. You confuse that with intercessors, which anyone is that prays for another. Those in the hereafter are closest to God for they are alive in Him as the soul cannot die even if the body sleeps until the Resurrection. Christ is God of the living, not the dead. Those with Him share in His Energies. Prayer is not inherently worship, it is petition. We do not have idols. We do not worship anything but God. Having icons is not idols as we do not believe God is trapped in the icon nor do we worship ink on wood. That would be like saying you worship the ink on wood of the Bible because you use it in worship to God. It makes no sense. We pray to God both for petition and worship; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Which all doesnt make sense especially scientific miracles. Forexample things like the sun setting in the muddy spring, the moon expressed as light, pagan mythologies like the legend of Alexander the great (Dul Qarnain in the quran), christian stories such as the 7 sleepers of Ephesus and other many gnostic writings such as the infancy gospel of thomas which tells us about Jesus speaking in the cradle, the story mary and the tree, a corrupted version of the story of Abraham (like the sacrifice becoming ishmael inorder to support the islamic belief) and many plagarized texts, and even the confusion of mohammed being unable to identify mary the mother jesus and the sister of aaron are all found in the quran. Idk how u can call it the perfect word of God💀 And when u get to the hadithes it gets even worse (especially sahih al bukhari) And idk about the hindu scripture but in the bible there is no mention or prophecy of mohammed.

You cannot be in communion with God apart from believing His gospel. We are not saved by faith PLUS any works we do. We are saved by Christ’s works alone & to add to that gospel is to pervert it
The one faith delivered once to the church, the same yesterday today and forever, is the orthodox faith. This faith was, unfortunately, lost to the west through the pride of the pope, and all those who followed after him. Unfortunately, those who rebelled against him did not return to the faith, but either added more innovations, or subtracted that which was genuine.
@@OrthodoxEthos this once for all delivered to the saints faith is laid out clearly in Scripture. Both Rome & the East add works to the gospel, which the Bible clearly states we are justified by faith apart from works, lest anyone should boast. When you add works to the gospel you are adding grounds for boasting which Paul excludes. Christ worked both actively & passively to fulfill all of the Law on behalf of His people & to add works to the gospel is to insinuate that He did not fulfill the Law entirely on our behalf
Sorry but sola fide was never known before 16th C. The only way u can believe in sola fide is by interpreting scripture to fit ur believes. Sorry but no one believes what u beliefs for 1500 yrs. Either no one understood scripture or ur faith is an innovation. I would go with the 2nd option.
@@ionictheist349 “For faith itself alone grants justification and sanctification. Thus any flesh whatsoever-Jews or those from the Gentiles-is justified on the basis of faith, not works or observance of the Jewish Law (Gal 2:16)” - Marius Victorinus, 4th century
Ironically he died from throat cancer, from all the vile words he said all his life. Wouldn’t exactly be quoting someone who went against God and lost miserably
It’s funny to see what Orthodoxy uses as an example of Protestantism: silly non-denominational concert-style worship bands and pastors not ordained by a denomination but a man basically hired to pastor by a search committee. It’s never a confessional Presbyterian or an Anglican priest.
YOU STILL HAVEN'T COME TO JESUS. YOU HAVE JUST FOUND ANOTHER PLACE TO TELL YOU ABOUT GOD. Learn and learn and learn from other's about God....HE AWAITS FOR JUST JUST JUST YOU TO COME TO HIM. Christ's Pastor
We find God and unity with God in the Body of Christ, which is the Church, the Holy Orthodox Church. You don't know of our Faith because you don't study it or experience it. Orthodoxy is experiential. If you don't have the experience you can't say what it is like. You can only say what you've researched, which is intellectual (if correct) not spiritual. Experience comes from engaging the nous, not mere mind or emotion.
Orthodoxy isn't a denomination, it was the Church that was from Pentecost on with the churches in the Holy Scriptures still in it. Christ didn't just die, He rose again.
@@LadyMaria True. But when I think orthodox, you look alike, dress alike, sound alike. Religion focuses on the outward appearance, it is God who changes how we think. The church is people, not the building.
@@patrickmccarthy7877 Maybe get to know the Faith and you will find that you are wrong. We have a very deep spirituality in God. If you only concentrate on the outside, as you claim ww do, then you will miss everything. Orthodoxy isn't a religion, it's a way of life in God.
Catholicism is the first Protestantism. The pope was the first protestant. He protested and walked away from the Church. Specifically the eighth ecumenical council. He established the pattern which the reformed followed.

@@patrickmccarthy7877 Maybe get to know the Faith and you will find that you are wrong. We have a very deep spirituality in God. If you only concentrate on the outside, as you claim ww do, then you will miss everything.
Orthodoxy isn't a religion, it's a way of life in God.
@@LadyMaria You're judging my church and you have never been there. Shame on you. My pastor is Malachi, not Bob.
@@patrickmccarthy7877 That is not in the one Church.
Now take the next step to catholicism. 🔥
U take a step back to Orthodox
Catholicism is the first Protestantism.
The pope was the first protestant.
He protested and walked away from the Church. Specifically the eighth ecumenical council. He established the pattern which the reformed followed.
@@OrthodoxEthos how do you interpret the text from Matthew 16:18-19?
@@a.demianCatholic Church is the only true church. Viva Cristo Rei
@@aboi9865 yes we believe that but not the roman church. Only the true catholic church which is the Orthodox church.🤗
Mary and saints don't hear your prayers
They do. They are alive. God is the God of the living, not of the dead!
Maybe they don’t hear your prayers because you don’t offer them?
@@OrthodoxEthos They are alive in heaven, yet don't hear your prayers because they are not omnipresent God.
@OrthodoxEthos Jesus said he's the only way to the father no one else
@@fulldeck4499They share in the Energies of God. That is the hereafter for those in communion with Him.
@@rsns776That's why Christ is both man and God in one divine Person. That's why we only worship God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Also don't propagate with Greek chants. Russians and Athos orthodoxy are totally different
Yet it is the same faith dedicated to one and only God why do you have to separate it?
@@SlavaBogu888 Simple because, they believe Agia Sophia can be a mosque.
Who believes this? Not Orthodox Christians!!
@@eisvo21 Everbody knows that Constantinopole will one day again be orthodox so don't go out in public with such a stupid conclusions.
What are you on, all branches of the Christian Orthodox church are in communion
