My beloved brothers and sisters, let us not judge. when someone passes judgement on another than he is making himself above God and replacing christ from his throne. Lord have mercy on us all please father forgive my orthodox brothers and sisters and fathers and mothers. let our ears hear without distraction ☦️ we are worthless sinners. 😢
Yes.
Amen 🙏
Wdym, how are we supposed to help brothers in disbelief? Doesn't Jesus say how can you judge your brother if you have a beam in your eye, first you must take out the beam in your eye then you can get to work getting out what is in your brother's eye in other words don't be a hypocrite.

This is the truth. I wasted so much of my life to the things that moths and rust will consume.
A most mysterious of occasions have I experienced during prayer with this church's prayer videos.
I have recieved the Holy Orthodox baptism by faith and prayer and also recived an orhodox/slavic name by divine inspiration.
Since a few months have I lived with this strange and blessed anointment.
Can I get a witness through divine intervention?
I was ɓaptized lutheran a few years back, and now this occured.
Is it not impossible? with God as my witness.
Amen
You need to go to Church to receive a true baptism. Contact a priest of our Metropolis.
Thank You dear pathers for directing me.
God bless You most mercifully.
Amen

The devil created all sins and has devoured us, for how can we sinners blame God for our sins? did not the devil create all sins. Lord Jesus christ have mercy on us all sinners. Help us your people Father Jesus Christ lord forgive us all 😢
The author of sin is the evil one.
God bless you father demetrius @@OrthodoxTradition
God bless ☦️
When you say we become Gods/God's do you mean we become God like or become his possession? Thank you. God Bless.
God created this world. There’s those of us who only know this life and want to preserve it for as long as possible not for demonic reasons but to live peacefully and to enjoy the things created by God.
How can you say God is just spiritual. He created this world. He created our lives. If He didn’t think this life is important then why did he let us have this life?
Must we forever feel guilty for our life because everything EVERYTHING is connected to our pride? What if we live according to the Gospels, can’t we also enjoy this life?
His Eminence does not say EVERYTHING is connected to pride, he is pointing out the dangers and challenges that we are faced with. The blessings also have been pointed out, but that's not what this sermon is about.
when one applies his focus on this life too much for enjoyment and purposes or seeks finding comfort in this life. than he loses the spiritual life. for christ said the one who gains this life will lose and the who loses his life for my sake will gain it, forgive me please a chief sinner former jew now orthodox christian, God help you and forgive Metropolitan Demetrius he is indeed trying to help us all.
@@JERUSALEM1ORTHODOX I know. It’s not personal to the Metropolitan. I am saying that there’s people out there who have sacrificed a lot to live a God pleasing life but it seems never good enough when I hear such sermons.
@@mortalsclub I can't judge anyone. I sincerely apologize for my comment and I wish and hope it did not in any way misguide you or bring you grief. Forgive me please, may Jesus christ be with you and pray for guidance, let not your heart be troubled. we all are humans live in modern world and it's easy for us to be living in disorder of the orthodox christian faith, sometimes we may not notice it with our own senses. nevertheless we are all sinners and humans who can't live in silence as the elders,monks,fathers etc forgive me please christ is merciful and his mysterious are unfathomable, we can't understand everything. forgive me please ☦️
@@JERUSALEM1ORTHODOX ❤️☦️
Devil constantly playing trickery but I’m done playing games
May God guide you.
The protestant mind can't seem to overcome itself. it's manifestating in comment section. sad it trys to bring out Its justifications over others due boosting in pride of word as to say do not teach me...i will be your teacher the fallen man said in his broken harden heart which was disturbing himself and so far away from CHRIST.
May God help us to conform to the mind of Christ.
@@OrthodoxTradition Amen! God protect our beloved father Demetrius ☦️
My heart can't take that I have just learned that this sect does not take communion with the Orthodox Church. Forgive me, I come in ignorance and stand to be corrected, but I love this man speaking and I do not understand why there is a schism. Is it really over a calender?
This is not a sect! It is the True Church! The Orthodox do not believe the way the Roman Catholics do.
We do not know who told you we are not in communion with the Orthodox Church, or who told you that we are a sect, but this is slander.
❤❤❤
God bless.
