Sunday is not the 7th day. Sunday is the first day, the Day of Resurrection, the Day of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. It is on the Day of the Resurrection, that the fullness of truth and reality was revealed to us by the Light of Christ.
I'm Non-Denominational, Meaning I'm Protestant, But I C Some Parallels Between This Teaching And Protestant Belief. The Parallels, What u Call Communion we Call Fellowship W God. Yes, u Need That Fellowship W God. For me, It's In my Study. God's Given us Sixty-Six Books To Know His Will. Studying Them, This Is How we Draw Near To God. Sure, we Can Talk W Him, That's Fine. Nothing wrong w That at all. I my Experience, I Had A Major Turn Around About Four Years Ago, And I Found That I'd Talked W God, but there wasn't Any Studying, And I Needed That, Because God Wants To Show us What He Has To Say So we Can Tell the rest of the world they Need A Savior.

please help me understand. I am a 7th day Sabbath keeper and i know for a fact the 7th day is Saturday and understand the roman catholic church has changed that day from Saturday to sunday. if a commandment is to remember the Sabbath day, why do ppl say sunday is 7th day?
Son of The Most High as an ex catholic I know that in catholic circles ,it is taught that the day was changed to distinguish the Christian sabbath from the defunct Jewish Shabbas. It's not contrary to God will or a man made invention,it is what It is for a purpose. Keeping kosher although in the bible is no longer prescribed and Jesus has said as much in the gospels,that is an example of how things where changed by the coming of Christ to the world to save us. Also the Shabbas,it's rules,strictness and quite possibly the day is a Talmud invention which is a collection of rabbi derived literature rather than biblical derived laws and guidance. Not cutting the side locks is such an example
@Gaige Wintz I will find this book. Sounds so good. I've converted to Orthodoxy 40 yrs ago. Never can comprehend it's breadth and depth...and I've tried. Pearl of great price.
Brothers in Christ, If somebody could help me with this question. When God made Adam & Eve and they sinned, at that point did literal human physical death enter into the world? Or was it Spiritual death? If it was physical death, how do we reconcile this with the science of human evolution( which I am unconvinced to either side). Thank you!
solus christus, it was both. Sin when it is finished results in death. I'm Non-Denominational By The Way. But sin affected our bodies and souls Which is Why we Needed Christ To Give us Eternal Life By His Death And Resurrection.
solus christus Is there an exact, reproducible science of human evolution? As for evolution, at which point in the progression from cell to current life form has there been a declaration stating that that life form is human. Could it be the point of time when the humanoid realized it had a conscience or moral conciousness. Obviously the half states - possible blobs - could not sustain themselves so the cells and half states would die off in evolutionary theory. How can we reconcile that (which is not measurable or as yet repeatable) with the one off Adam that was created by God from the dust of the earth. How long did it take God to create Adam, was it one cell at a time over a period of time suggested by evolutionary theory. Could have been. I don't think anyone knows but one thing seems certain - Adam was created in God's image - a being with the ability to communicate. "At that point..." not necessarily. On that day, seemingly. It could have been the decision to sin that caused them to lose righteousness. Gen 15:6 suggests that Abraham's believing God (which was backed by action) is credited as righteousness. In not believing God, Adam and Eve lost their credit. Before that they were naked and unafraid, now they were now naked and afraid. They hid and covered themselves with leaves. God made them clothes from animal skin, and as Hebrews 9:22 suggests without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness - God made a sacrifice for them. As they hid and were afraid they cut off their communion with God. This is spiritual death. Its like what happens to a marriage when one partner hides and cuts off communion from the other - the spiritual bond in the marriage is over. When God shed that animal's life blood and obtained that animal skin an animal died. Romans 5:12 to 19 suggests that by one man's sin death entered the world. The first human to die was not Adam and Eve, but righteous Abel, killed by his own brother Cain because God accepted Abel's sacrifice but not not Cain's.
Another excellent sermon. Thank you for sharing this.
Father Spyridon love your teachings father. Can give other channel recommendations such as this one?
I am an orthodox Christian. Your sermons have moved me. Thank you from my heart.
PUROSE of life - is to CONTINUE the works of Jesus! To heal the sick, to cast out demons. To destroy the works of the Devil
Created to be in communion with God. So true.
thank you father
Love God deeply!
Beautiful church and serman

Thank you, dear Father!
Pure heart speaking.
God bless!
The first church (ecumenical) council was in Jerusalem as we read in Acts 15.

Born Again fellowship is different from Orthodox Communion with God or Theosis
Adam and Eve - communion with God - walking with God (Peterson)
Sin separated man from God, world from Heaven
Ascension
Holy Spirit - fullness of life dwelling in God’s grace
Pentecost Sunday
Ascension to Pentecost
Spiritual Inventory
Do we know, read, understand Creed?
Do our Children know?
Purpose of life is to have the Holy Spirit
Active prayer life
God’s will in our life
God’s promise of heavenly bliss
Pleasures of flesh with food and drink
Free time in front of TV or Computer
Actively pursue God’s grace - grace is a free gift from God
Actively pursue Communion with God - Theosis
Give up earthly pursuits
Work hard - Wonderful trips and vacations
Free time - Earthly pursuits of vanity
Communion with God is upfront
I don't know if bringing back our human nature's the way to explain It, But He Gave us The Chance To Be Brought Back To Him Again

Adam and Eve is allegorical not literal
