[@tonyrichards9413]

The Maronites are nice community. I have a Maronite (Catholic) friend in France originally from the mountain of Lebanon.

[@steventrosiek2623]

I love and respect the Maronite church. Her people are so very nice and pious and so kind. The Maronite rite the ancient faith of all.

[@randyross5630]

I am a bit of a Maronite, 25% Catholic Lebanese from my Mother's side, her family left when the French Toppled the Catholic Monarchy...

[@htpt4301]

Great .more maronite videos about heir struggle and martyrdom in the east since the crusades throughout the Muslim caliphates till the Beirut port explosion and today s economic and political siege.
The music is a bit loud it would be better to listen to maronite music (with flute al nay)

False. They were conquered but not destroyed. There has been continuity of Orthodoxy in those lands up until our times.

Friend, the Maroonites rescued lebanon in the past but since the vangalists and the LF put their weapons aside, started that diplomacy and compromising look how we ended up now our president is a wimp, half of the Christian with Nasrallah so in brief if you bring another 50 Gmayals they will be assassinated the only solution for home is to bring the crusades and clean up the country. Everytime i see images of Lebanon i see a lot of hijabs and that massive mosque in the city man i pray for our beloved country every day and sadly this beautiful gem was taking over by iran the gulf, and Israel. Never mind sounds am ranting now but we are a sad divided nation with a lot of ideologies.
and our corrupt government.

St-Maroun Lived in Syria, not in the mountains of Lebanon.

[@rjm111274]

James Cadmus thank you for your reply --- yes Saint Maron did have roots in Syria but also led and preached in Lebanon as is recognized by historian Giuseppe Simone Assemani (Arabic: يوسف بن سمعان السمعاني‎ Yusuf ibn Siman as-Simani, English: Joseph Simon Assemani, Latin: Ioseph Simonius Assemanus), was born on July 27, 1687 in Hasroun, Lebanon and died on January 13, 1768 in Rome. Assemani was a librarian, Lebanese orientalist and Maroniteeparch. For his efforts, and his encyclopedic knowledge, he earned the nickname "The Great Assemani". --------- in addition St. Maron's burial is up for some debate and many would argue that St. Maron died and was buried where he preached , namely Lebanon ---- EITHER WAY he was most influential and brought an ascetic life of prayer to be closer to Jesus the Christ bringing both Syrians and Lebanese closer to God ---- land borders don't compare to his greatness and influence throughout Asia minor ----------- thank you for your comment and interest

[@jamescadmus2983]

Dear Rick, I am a distant relative of the Simani and I am very aware of their vast, and often undermined, intellectual contributions, but Mar Maroun died in Syria, I believe. His disciples Ibrahim (hence the name Nahr Brahim or Brahim River was named after him) converted the pagan inhabitants of the Mount Lebanon to Christianity. I don't think Mar Maroun actually stepped in Mount Lebanon. He was an ascetic, local hermit. He spent the rest of his religious life in the Babylonian temp of Baku.

[@totsphoenix8147]

St Maroun is known as being a Syrian

[@donnyjoe123]

@@totsphoenix8147 a Syriac*, Syriac and Syrian are used interchangeably by historians during these times but when speaking Arabic no one would call St Maron a Syrian which is "Soure", instead he would be called "Suryane" which correctly translates to Syriac

[@DF-pr9iy]

@@donnyjoe123 I am what you call a syrani. Same as your saint maroun was. I am Syriac Orthodox and come from Mesopotamia (Mardin).
We are neither Arabs nor are we Lebanese. We brought the pagans of the Levant Christianity. They accepted it and mixed with some of us. Moved towards the south and grew in numbers by converting Aramaic speaking locals. This was the birth of the Maronites. They quickly started to speak more Syriac Aramaic not Levantine Aramaic anymore. Almost the same we speak today.
Even mar charbels teacher said once to the his people. That you the Maronites should guard Syriac language and use it not only in prayer. You should use it every day. On any occasion. Because it’s not only the language of my people. It’s also yours. You are also a part of us. Maybe not much by blood but very much by culture.

John 3:13 (Jesus said)No one ascended into heaven. but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which was from the heaven.
Matthew 5: 5 (and also Jesus said)
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Arabic language down👇 (interesting for marounite religion)
Jesus did not have long hair as apostle Paul said in. A.Corinthians 11:14-15
14 Does not even nature itself teach you, that if a man have long hair, it is an insult to him? 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is to her glory. for his hair is given to him for a covering:
Why do we grow old and die?
GOD did not want humans to die. Our first parents, Adam and Eve, were created with a perfect mind and body. They could still be alive today. This is clear from what God said to Adam about a tree growing in the garden of Eden.
God said to Adam: “The day you eat [from the tree] you will surely die.” - Genesis 2:17. This command would have been meaningless if Adam had been created to grow old and die. Adam knew that if he did not eat from that tree, he would not die.
GOD'S PURPOSE WAS NOT THAT PEOPLE DIE.
God said to Adam: "Eat your bread with the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground from where you were taken. for you were dust and you will become dust. ”- Genesis 3: 17-19. As a result, “all the days of Adam's life were nine hundred and thirty years and he died.” - Genesis 5: 5. Adam did not go to heaven or hell. Or live in a spiritual realm.
What is the Resurrection?
The Bible's answer
In the Bible, the Greek word translated "resurrection" means "to stand" or "to restore." The resurrected person is resurrected from the dead and is the same person who was before. - 1 Corinthians 15:12, 13.
It is true that the word "resurrection" is not found in the Hebrew Scriptures, which are known as the Old Testament, but the promise of resurrection is there. For example, through the prophet Hosea, God promised: “I will rescue them from the hand of the grave, and I will rescue them from death.” - Hosea 13:14; Job 14: 13-15; Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12: 2, 13.
Where will people be resurrected? Some people will be resurrected to live in heaven. There they will reign with Jesus Christ. - 2 Corinthians 5: 1; Revelation 5: 9, 10. The Bible calls this resurrection "the first resurrection" and the word "first" makes it clear that there will be another resurrection. - Revelation 20: 6. That other resurrection will be for the living on earth, and most of the dead will be resurrected in this way. - Psalm 37:29.
How are the dead raised? God gave Jesus the power to resurrect the dead. - John 11:25. Jesus will bring to life “all those in the memorial tombs,” each with his own personality, attributes, and memories. - John 5:28, 29. Some will be resurrected to live in heaven, while others will be resurrected to live on earth with perfect and healthy bodies. - Isaiah 33:24; 35: 5, 6. 1 Corinthians 15: 42-44, 50
They multiply priests and saints with sad faces pile up, perform miracles, cast out demons. But Jesus said, The tree is known by its fruit.
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW
7: 21-23:
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and did many miracles in your name?' 23 Then i will tell them plainly that I did not know you at all. Get away from me, you workers of iniquity.
Matthew 7: 15-20
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do they gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles? 17 So every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; and an evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Ye shall know them by their fruits.
B. LETTER TO CORINTHIANS (Paul)
11: 13-15:
13 For such are the apostles, liars, deceitful workers, impersonating the apostles of Christ. 14 And it is not surprising. because Satan also takes the form of a bright angel. 15 Wherefore, it is not a great thing that his ministers should be likened unto the ministers of righteousness. Their end will be in proportion to their deeds.
4: 4. In whom is the god of this world?
(Satan) blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the light of the glory of the gospel of Christ might not shine upon them, which is the image of God.
Eternal life is a free gift from God. The eternal punishment is not righteousness because how many years can a person live at most? Here, eternal punishment means eternal death. God is Love!
Bible answers
Ecclesiastes 3:19,20
19 for there is an outcome for humans and an outcome for animals,they all have the same outcome. As the one dies, so the other dies, and they all have but one life. So man has no superiority over animals, for everything is futile. 20 All are going to the same place. They all come from the dust, and they all are returning to the dust.
John 3:13
13 Moreover, no man has ascended into heaven, but the one who descended from heaven, the Son of man.
John 5:28,29
28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.
Psalm 37:29
29 The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it!
it's clear
A. LETTER TO TIMOTHY 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men,the man Christ Jesus!
Mattew 24:36
36 “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.
Mattew 23:8-10
8 But be not ye called teachers. for one is your Teacher, even Christ. 9 You are all brothers. And call no man father upon the earth. for one is Father, which is in heaven.10 And be not ye called masters. for one is your Master, even Christ...
