    Good talk. Everyone else, Orthodox or not, please stop arguing online. Don't feed the trolls, and pray for the sincerely curious to find a local priest. People are giving and getting pat 2-3 sentence answers to questions that should be discussed for hours or days (or a lifetime?), hopefully over coffee, with a real flesh and blood person who cares about you. Orthodoxy is an incarnational faith!

    • @American-Jello
      @American-Jello Місяць тому +6

      Sir, I believe you have good intentions with your post, but please allow me to give you a new perspective.
      I am Orthodox, newly illumined on this past Holy Saturday. I am 49 years old, and spent the entirely of my life opposed to what I believed Christianity was. I wouldn't have walked into a church to save my own life, let alone sought out a priest for any reason. Around age 44, a change began to happen, first in my mind, and it was due to the "arguments" I read online. The very people (fellow Christians) you are chastising for "feeding the trolls" began to work though my lifetime of disbelief by presenting legitimate, rational arguments to those who repeatedly and constantly pronounced the mainstream, secular views as "the truth". I read and researched the things they said, slowly learning that everything I had always thought to be true was nothing but a lie. Without those people championing the legitimacy of our faith, I may never have opened my eyes to the truth of Christ. I owe them all (poor arguments and excellent ones alike) gratitude for softening my mind and heart to the salvation I now know is attainable only in Jesus Christ through His Holy Orthodox Church.
      While I don't disagree that to become deeply fleshed into the faith a priest is required, the door must be opened somehow, and in these modern days of social media and internet discussion threads, it is the best reach Christians have to spread the saving message of Jesus Christ. Arguments and discussions lead to enlightened thought. Enlightened thought encourages seeking truth, and seeking truth opens the door to the Holy Spirit. Was every single argument I read online a catechism? Of course not. But it was ENOUGH to lead me exactly where I needed to go when searching in spirit and in truth. Folks who are truly opening their hearts to the Holy Spirit will hear His voice above the noise, and truth will come through, but only if those who are "on the ground" so-to-speak, preaching amongst the people still have a voice. We are Christians. We should never cease spreading our message of salvation, through any means available, in the face of doubters, deniers or "trolls". Be blessed.

    Some say Israel is NOT God's covenant people, but GOD Himself says, in Genesis 17:7-8, "And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an EVERLASTING covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. 8 Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of CAANAN (Israel) as an EVERLASTING possession; and I will be their God.” The land of Caanan is promised as an everlasting inheritance, and God clearly declares an everlasting COVENANT with the Israelites who have inherited the Land of Caanan.

      The Orthodox Church is praying for you also. Remember that whenever you decide to venture in to one.
      With humility, remember we pray for the world at every service, so wherever you go, they are praying for you whether they know you or not.
      (I didn't know that in my journey to the Church. I knew the friend who taught me/us was praying for us, but i didn't know the Church was. )
      Such a prayer is part of our morning prayers.
      Keep rethinking. That is a good sign.. not everyone will.
      You will see that the Church can explain everything It does. Nothing is happen chance. And the answers are mostly theological. What i didn't have in my prtstnt upbringing.

  • @JoeHonestTruth
    @JoeHonestTruth 9 місяців тому +46

    Jesus didn’t have an axe to grind at all against Rome, because being God in the flesh he foresaw that Rome in the early 300s AD was going to recognize Christianity for the whole Empire. Yes, Jesus came to save every human but especially also to fulfill the Old Testament prophecies as to the Messiah, to give the Israelites ( the chosen people) another chance to live up to the promises and commands of God. In the 2000 years that passed, on balance Christianity arose from its origins in the Holy Land and spread magnificently into all of Europe, the New World (Americas) and to various degrees into Africa, Asia, Australia, the Philippines, and even Hindu India.
    I have often pondered “what if” Islam, a made made cult, wasn’t invented in the 600s AD didn’t occur, then no doubt Christianity would be even more widespread and prevalent in the current Islamic nations. However, I fully trust in the Holy Trinity that Christianity will indeed ultimately prevail and take strong “grafting” in all the nations in this world. Islam is a House of Cards that is bound to fall as modern honest researchers and scholars are revealing to the world that this Arabian centric religion growing out of paganism and polytheists isn’t true. Make no mistake about it the Holy Trinity, our triune God, has a divine plan and is in total control of earth whether or not it is visible or understandable. Because Jesus came to change dramatically Jews and graft the gentiles, Jesus can easily also through mysteries to us Christians vanquish the grip other religions have upon their peoples and nations. Christianity was meant starting 2000 years ago to become the one and true salvation religion for all nations and peoples. This Holy Week offers hope and inspiration that indeed Christianity will prevail everywhere on earth as the magnificent and perfect divine plan, as mysterious it seems to be to us mortals, is in progress and fruition to the end times with the second coming. Hence, “Trust” in this divine plan.

      Yes the Orthodox Church which is the true religion will prevail. It’s important to note the Orthodox Church because saying Christianity implies all of the other “bodies” which are a derivative of Rome in this millennium. Remember Rome detached itself from the body of Christ and all the others from Rome whom is mistaken. So in my opinion we should always state the Orthodox Church when talking about these matters so that we can bring all other Christian’s home to orthodoxy as a loving act. As there is only one baptism.

      When you read scripture, seek God. Things start to make sense. The only thing I can see about the ppl who decided to crucify him is that they either did it out of fear, ignorance or seeing the Pharisees as something to worship instead of the king himself. Truthfully, in today's society, we are reliving it in every aspect of media. Maybe there's an alternative brainwashing factor not mentioned as to why they wanted to crucify him. I will always seek his holiness when reading though.

    The first major collapse of God's vineyard occurred in OT with Ahab's failure to obtain his neighbour's vineyard, after which Jezebel's intervention it became a field of blood. The NT parable serves as a sober reminder of the true nature of the vineyard, to which Christ gives himself as a covenantal offering, for the life of the world.

    Great implications for our lives in this message Fr. Josiah, but would love to hear also the message of hope for Israel (the ethnic Israel) in Rom 11, that the natural branches can (and will) so much easier be grafted back again to there own tree. This is also in line with the writings and comments of many church fathers on this chapter, for example John Chysostomos who expected a blessing upon Israel in the last days.

  • @PETERJOHN101

    I was hoping this dear brother would quote Paul in Romans 11 and he did. I believe, however, we should be mindful that the blindness of the Jewish people, as Paul explains in the same passage, was ordained by God in order to propel the Gospel to the heathen nations and further that their blindness will be removed by God at the appointed time.

    The problem in Israel particularly is that the locals don't really have an access to the orthodox church, orthodox churches in Israel don't speak Hebrew or English, they are either russian or Arab, so the local population only can really join the messianic movement, unfortunately the orthodox church doesn't seem to try and speak the language or change it's approach, it just exists within the country and stagnates, most people know nothing about it, it's not like the churches in the US that actually speak English and comprised out of Americans

    The big issue with that culture is their extreme admiration/value-placement pn the MATERIAL ASPECTS OF LIFE. This, always if it matches their own self-based desires/whims which they measure with numbers. Thus, life only has value (one is only successful) if it can be PHYSICALLY measured with/by numbers + palpable to their own self-based concept of "value/success", if not then they despise, spit upon, skorn, mock and always PUNISH, use cruelty + pain, so very OT.
    In NT, Jesus teaches more mentally developed concepts of social interaction and life approaches like mercy, compassion, gentleness, softness, instead of the cruel/ruthless violence of punishment. All depends of how the mind is wired, how many good-functioning neurons are available, etc. Epigenetics studies can help replacing old cruel punishing values (all based on fear) with gentle, kind, life-promoting values, begaviours, beliefs, etc.
