Just goes to show that the most important thing about being a Christian is not condemning others because of their sin, but helping them out of love, kindness, and compassion as a fellow child of God.
It depends if you listen more Father or Son! They are not agree about many things if you read the Bible! Perhaps, Father condemned all humanity for a sin of protoplasts and Son said it's not right to punish childrens for the sins of parents... What a family?🤔😂🤣😅
@@ozzy82nick There is no disagreement between Father and Son. Jesus said, " If you have seen me, you have seen the Father. I and the Father are one." God arranged for Jesus' birth so that he would have a path to save us. Jesus is that path. We still cannot rebel against the commandments of God and expect salvation. The man in this story forsook his old life and began to keep the commandments. "Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more."
When you do what you can you use your will and when you trust God to do what you can’t do … you have surrendered to God’s will. Thank you , St. Paisos ❤🙏🏻
@Blythe Spirit there is only condemnation while still sinning willfully. The man that is of the flesh is at enmity, which is why a man must be born again. You are correct condemnation for sin is valid, but you are not correct that the comment was PC drivel. It's doctrine. That man must leave the world behind and forsake sin is a command. The New Testament commands are the exact same as the Old testament Commands, yet there is a spiritual law added that even the inner desire to commit sin (homosexuality, pedofilia, etc) is sin. The thought of sin is an implanted attack from the devil.. the desire to commit the sin is fleshly sin. The act of the sin is rebellion toward God, basically it is sin against God to sin willfully after knowing what sin is. We are in the antichriste age and sin is not forgivable as of now.. because you are fully aware of what you are doing and thinking.
I’m a Marian Catholic and say this is Catholic Christian love. Jesus Christ founded but ONE Church the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH on the infallible Rock of Peter two millennia ago! Only Catholic’s are the true and original Christian’s and only Catholic’s go to Heaven! Protestantism,including the orthodox,is 40,000 CULTS, which are pagan! The Bible is a Catholic book the protestant Bible is an incomplete and corrupted Catholic book! Once the orthodox,be they Russian or Greek,broke from Rome they became CULTS. I know that’s comes across as nasty but it’s the painful truth. I’ll repeat Jesus Christ founded but ONE Church and NO more. God bless all protestant’s and orthodox please come home to the mystical body of Christ on earth the holy Catholic Church. Those who do sincerely practice their orthodox faith are in reality Catholic but will more than likely have to spend some time in Purgatory when they die. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!!
I'm struggling with homosexual attraction. Well, I'm still a virgin, and I haven't committed any sexual acts with a fellow man. But I feel there's a very strong and burning desire inside to do it. If I ever touched a man for the first time, I believe I will be addicted to sleep with different types of men throughout my lifetime. Brothers and sisters in Christ, please pray in my behalf. Ask the Divine Lord to have mercy on me, and to give me strength to overcome. May the blood of Christ wash away my infirmities and impurities. God have mercy on me, a despicable sinnner.
Same sex attraction (lust) is a very heavy cross - especially when the world & the demons are telling us that it's a good and beautiful thing or that it is "just who you are". We are called to take up our cross and follow Christ. We are in a spiritual war and may our Divine Christ give you (and all of us) His grace when we cling to Him who took up His cross for us.
I don’t understand english much, I am from Russia but I wish all my brothers and sisters orthodox, Blessings and peace from All most holy Trinity! Holy Theotokos protect all orthodox!

Roman Catholic here. I keep coming back to this video because of how no nonsensesical these Orthodox brothers and priests are in dealing with immensely complex aspects of human nature and psychology. I could see a Catholic priest struggling to give the same advice because of his different education and world view. Not to say that they wouldn't guide a penitent person to the Light of Christ, but this was so heart warming! Blessed you all be in the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen!!
@@xpictosvikas nope just a devout Christian. They have their way of worshipping our shared god and I have mine. It's all about respect and keeping the peace. And this goes for all the other denominations as well.
Am sorry for this guy who tell you drunk cause he doesn't have the way to say the wright words. So cause even in the orthodoxy we have a little split with the new and the old calendar, the russian and the Athos state (Agion Oros-holy mountain)use the old calendar. Am using like most people the new calendar but i know the correct one is the old. I tell that because when i ask a monk of Athos if God see the people who believe in him even if they with old or new with same eyes,he tell what Jesus says - don't change even one word - and that means nothing. So i believe Jesus can save us all yes but but He also said - we have to search the writings - and when you start to search you go even more deep to the way of life of Christians eventually you start to understand which is the wright even you don't do it that's the first step.
@@giannisxaliampalias3747 Actually, more than the ROC and Mt. Athos use the Patristic Calendar (or, Julian Calendar). Serbian Orthodox, canonical Ukranian Orthodox, a lot of the OCA, etc. That's the majority of Orthodoxy.
This has touched me so much. St Paisios (Aziz Payisyos, as we call him) is from my hometown (Çamlıca, Yahyalı in Kayseri/Caeserea, Turkey) and he's praised, if not revered, even by the local Muslims such as me. May his legacy live on.
I never thought that I would meet even online someone from his home. He was from the village of Farasa. Beautiful country there with the mountains. His spiritual Father a long time ago was St. Arsenios. I think they called him Hadji Efendis back then, he was the priest of the village. Elder Paisios was the son of the mayor of the village. He was just a baby when they had to move back to Greece.
@@KKIcons Fun fact: his district used to be part of my home district and about 2200 years ago the area's name was Gabadonia! Greeks and Karamanlids of Cappadocia carried their culture to Greece when they went there and the elders were even discriminated against for some of them only spoke Turkish or Karamanlidika (a Turkish/Greek dialect) which contributed to the retardation of their adaptation process into the culture of Greece, enabling the newer generations to be nurtured with the Cappadocian culture. That's why whenever I read about or from Aziz Paisios I'm almost always so emotional for he reminds me of a generation of people I was both lucky enough to be familiar with and unlucky enough to witness the extinction of. May our idols such as him live and prosper in our hearts and minds and may their wills, deeds and creeds manifest themselves in our behaviours as God shall guide us and may God give us the will and perseverance to better ourselves to become like them and influence the generations to come for I'm sure this is the kind of earthly immortality God wants us to thrive for. Selamünaleyküm.
I am a Catholic but I love and respect this testimony so much. It does need to be shared with many to bring lost souls back to God. Thank you Almighty Father for your never ending love to humankind.
You are Roman Catholic. The term "Catholic" stands for the idea of being a world-wide church. The Orthodox Faith is the one church that followed the teachings of Christ from 1054 A.D. when the Roman Caholic Church split because they wanted a Pope, head leader & many other reasons. The Eastern Orthodox Church has declared Jerusalem as it's first & only center. Before anyone debates check out 1054 A.D. There can be only one head of the Church, Jesus Christ Himself. There are many bishops who address heresies, but they are called by one among many. There is absolutely no one leader or head in the Eastern Orthodox Church. There is also only one Way to God the Father. St. John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto {Thomas} him, I am the Way, The Truth, and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me {Jesus Christ}." God is the lover of all humanity & desires that we all should be followers of Jesus Christ.
@@janetcampbell9286 Every team needs a leader, and the Pope is the leader of the Catholic Team, and the Catholic Team worships only the Holy Trinity, which comprises of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as does the Orthodox Church. Can we please today say the 'Our Father' in unity, as Jesus Christ had thought his disciples/us to pray? I am confident that this would be most pleasing to God:)
beautiful. Like I told my husband we christians do not aprove of the sin but we must help if anyone is in need. It was wise of him to show him the way without the main character realizing he was lead there for his salvation.
What St Pasios told him to do really reveals the difference of Orthodoxy from Protestantism. Evangelicals would just say, "Pray this prayer and now you're a Christian." If that man had come to me when I was a Calvinist, I would have said, "just go home and read your Bible and pray and if God wants to convert you, He will, and if He doesnt, He won't", since I believed salvation came entirely from God and human works were worthless.
This gets me to thinking, Milo Yinopolis has come a long way in the past year, but I fear Post-Vatican 2 thinking, even as a Uniate, is holding him back from this level of conversion, making the process much harder, not as hard as it would be for a homosexual in the situation you describe, but still much harder than it needs to be. I Pray that he learns about Saint Pasios and returns to the Orthodoxy of his forefathers.
I was reading again your comment and would like some help understanding it ... did you mean to say in the last words "came entirely from God and [NOT] human works" ...? or am I reading it wrong? Thanks anyway!
@@martinkent333 Brainwashing is a Marxist concept, used often against Orthodox by the Bolsheviks. They invented it and double speakers now seek to accuse the antidote to be the “poison”. Also, why are you using antiPapist Jack Chick tract talking points? We’re Orthodox, and while some of those types of blasphemies can be applied against both groups equally, your mentioning of “Choir Boy Anuses” in another comment makes no sense. We do not have a pedo problem in Orthodoxy because our decentralized method of policing our priesthood WORKS. Rome’s for 900 years was based on the inquisition, which in turn was funded by various industry and centered in the Papal States, all of which Rome lost in 1850. An objective historical analysis proves it actually mostly worked, but it was HYPER central. Losing it collapsed everything and within a generation predators figured out that the shepherds were now too weak to keep protecting their lambs from wolves. THAT part of it is not Rome’s fault and there was no ancient culture of institutional r-a;p-e in the Roman Catholic priesthood, contrary to Calvinist superstition . What HAS been their fault has been the refusal to change a system that depended on the Inquisition, adopt the ORTHODOX methods. Our diocesan priests are all married, most with children of their own. A fully celibate priesthood with no functioning internal affairs department (inquisition) works far better for a pedo. No wife or kids of his own or wife and kids of other priests to worry exposing him. That’s the point, the starting point, anyway. Furthermore, our bishops are all monks who had long since proven themselves in total separation from the world, expecting nothing, then were blessed to become bishops. A pedo is not going to become a monk for decades in the very off chance he MIGHT become a bishop and given access to kids again.
@@martinkent333 What’s your opinion on the Eunuch training schools in the UAE?

Very inspiring because our brothers in the Middle East would not have the same reaction towards the self claimed gay man. God bless Paisos for such humility and mercy from God! Thank You Lord God and Savior Jesus for all good things
Don't talk about the middle east like it's one mind and one people. Any God fearing Orthodox no matter where from would agree with him. It's not our place to judge
I’m a Catholic, but I absolutely love this video, and the way this was handled, I hope I can be half the Christian Elder Paisios was, and I hope I too can help to heal the wounds of the hurting as he did
@@martinkent333 It won't be long until you will be researching the internet to find reliable sources reciting his prophecies once they start coming true ... if you are unable to respect his sainthood until then ... good luck with imporving your Greek you'll need them ...
@@martinkent333 What nonsense. You obviously didn’t read the video and are attacking anything at random that remotely resembles traditional Catholicism .
One year I watched this and I visited the Mounth Athos, a taxi driver whom helped me because I was lost to arrived gave me a stamp of saint Paisios, I have forgotten it was this Saint, I went because of the same reason this gay man, I could see myself for the first time as I was, a sinner, and although I am not orthodox I felt God was there, He has always been there, and even when I sin again I remember the lessons of the orthodox brothers and try again, is later than what we think like Fr Seraphim Rose says
One day went to elder Paisios a catholoic priest and they talked very much for various things but the conversation went to a point that the catholic priest says to the elder : Elder but at the end we all are children of God don t we ? and this saint elder answered to him..: Yes but we are playing inside his garden and you outside ..Keep that in mind because elder Paisios was not a common person he could see the past the present the future like an open book and in the religion things was very well informed .. greetings
@@ndumferdy2545 I have read < a lot > of books of the elder and also from other elders so I don t remember exactly in which of these books was written but as a person when something impress me I clearly remember it.Sorry if that hurts your feelings but this is what I read and it was a testimony of a third person who was in front of the conversation.If we want to be honests to our selves catholicism has made more < serious > mistakes than orthodoxy and I don t know if that hasn t any connection with these words of the saint..keep this in your back of your mind.With that I don t intend to say that the leadership of orthodox church is nowadays perfect no, but I see that the Catholic was and is even more problematic..If we want to dig even further Filioque is not only a matter of faith or interpretation of the scripts it is also a political-econolmical " excuse" for the west church to tear apart from the original one that is the Orthodox Church and not the opposite..and we all know that in these issues even the minor changes or disagreements have their consequences and unfortunately history has proved that.Historically 1204 a.C is more important than 1453 a.C.Greetings and sorry if I upset you.I hope Jesus fix this serious issue in the future..but I know that this it will be done with a lot of pain and sorrow.Ukrein is only the start we have a lot more to see and we are ALL responsible for that Catholics & Orthodox
This man is such an amazing speaker, I have never been so thrilled about listening to someone on UA-cam, and I don’t even speak the language! This is real Christianity. Do not slander the world, but help it and pray for it. I am a Protestant, and we have truly lost this beautiful sense of faith. I hope all churches can unite under christ one day! God bless you and I thank the lord Jesus Christ for your video
I have my personal struggle with religion, I'm an orthodox Christian and I do think that I believe in God but there are many times I'm facing my own doubts and problems. If there's one reason that I still fight for my self to truly believe that's what that video showed. That religion and worshiping god isn't about sins and punishments and criticism, it's about showing love and care and compassion to everyone in need.
I am also is the process of learning about and taking the first steps to convert to holy orthodoxy this is the true church founded by Christ's disciples of that there is no doubt for all
Glory to God for His loving mercy! He cleanses us of our filthy sins and enables us to help cleanse others as well! Glory to our awesome God forever!!!
The word for sin in the Greek from the Aramaic- means to miss the Mark. There’s nothing filthy about that. It’s human to make mistakes and be repentant. That’s how we learn. Forgive yourself. Then you can forgive others with more understanding🙏.
@@janel342 Sin is filth, that's why we need to be cleansed, forgiven and restored through repentance and the sacrament of confession! And because I'm loved and forgiven I can turn around and love, help and forgive others as well 😀
@@janel342 you cannot be cleansed if you do not first view yourself as dirty. to understand that you are dirty is the first step towards being cleansed, and through that you understand what it means to forgive and to be forgiven. do not rebuke the person who falls to sin, but always remember that the sin itself is of the devil and must be rebuked at all times for the filth that it is, as the rebuking of that sin is what allows it to be cast off; what stops it from clinging to you. It's also important to bear in mind that, for the purposes of spiritual wellness, to be gay isn't something that should be treated as unique, as it simply one of many forms of perversion that stem from the sin of lust, from which stems sexual desire; he or she who has no control over their loins and partakes in sexual activity outside of wedlock and outside of the purpose of bearing children is no better than one who engages in perversions of the flesh, as both have fallen to lust, and both are wallowing in the muck of the pig-pen. Both require cleansing, and the exact level of cleansing that is required in each case depends on the strength of the passion present within a given individual.
I'm a Roman Catholic dealing with SSA, and I loved hearing this Orthodox perspetive. I'm amazed how the elder didn't even bother to mention Stamatis' sin. Thanks God for these fathers who guide homosexual persons towards sainthood.

@@zeropride1133 "one day, soon, i doubt this will even matter. The world grows more wicked each passing day. Unification will happen, there will be no other choice." Of course there is another choice. God's choice. When people (especially those who wants unification in order for the Antichrist to rule the world) make plans God is laughing. They make their own plans but they forget that the mastermind who controls the fate of the world (butterfly effect) is God. The world grows more wicked so now under the leadership of politicians who believe in the Antichrist we taste the fruit of our choice and that is darkness with all the consequences, no human rights (due to covid), forced vaccinations. Politicians took away your freedom so if you get vaccinated they will give it back to you. But freedom is your right by God. No one can take it away from you. Politicians turned your freedom into privilege under their condition. As long as you play along with whatever they decide with the rest of your life you will have your fake freedom but you will be a slave of the system. Now it is time to choose light or darkness, good or evil. You will be forced to choose by the world events. By the way let me tell you one secret. God always wins. Be with the winners. And if you don't believe in God why not try to live your life as God wants just out of curiosity. You will be surprised how much "luck" will struck your life. Luck is blessing by the God. Try to find Him. Personally it took me 40 years to find God. Now I don't just believe but I am certain beyond any doubt that God exists after 5 miracles in my life. Just because you can't see God that doesn't mean He doesn't exists. Please try to find Him. I wish you the best in your life.
Thank you so much, @Orthodox Teaching of the Elders for sharing this…! It brought tears to my eyes 😭 as I too struggle with the same kind of lustful / sexual passions. Although I’ve never been exclusively in a relationship with a man, I have found True Love in My Beloved Lord Jesus Christ and this video convinced me that I can never ever give up on This Pure Love He has towards me… Although I’ve been sober for quite sometime from sexual acting-out, I still feel the lustful temptations fluttering around me during the day and as especially when I’m asleep when I give into the temptation frequently. I wish I could do an ounce of what St. Paisios prescribed 😢 but I’m dealing with a lot of mental health issues, de-addiction-ing myself and am caught up in a battle of being a good, chaste Catholic boy on one side and the world on the other side convincing me that I’m “denying” my sexuality. Please pray for me dear brothers and sisters whoever who reads this comment - I do believe this too shall pass, but I can’t do it alone… St. Paisios the Athonite - pray for us, pray for me a miserable and wretched sinner who craves for Christ’s Love one day at a time and who has saved me and healed me in many respects if not all…! God bless ☦️ and love y’all 🤗❤️
You have a lot of love toward God. He wont forget you. I think He will lead you toward Himself if you can be open toward His will. He is close to struggling Chistians like us. Lets not worry what anyone else thinks and also not judge, just minding our own business. Those thoughts arent from us, so we can just try to point our life in the right direction I guess and just live our life. I say Most Holy Theotokos Save Us, and I find a lot of help all the time. I can tell you aren't that kind of person anymore, like those thoughts are trying to label you as.
In orthodoxy NOONE Battles alone everyone should have a spiritual father even the monks at their early stages.We ALL have sins ME TOO a lot But we NEVER give up or loose our courage !

Such a beautiful story of our spiritual warfare. Though the enemy prowls about looking for human souls to devour, there is hope and sanctity to be found through holiness and piety. Blessings to you all, and to the Frere Evangelos who has taken on such a responsibility for souls. Amen.
You should ask yourself why you feel you should struggle with “same sex attraction”. It doesn’t matter if it is a man or a woman, you’re completely capable of having a complete and meaningful relationship. A therapist could help you to understand yourself.
@@joaoweimar8087 Most therapists are quacks and anything goes with them as long as it feels good. That's not how adulthood works. That's a childish idea.
The meaning is clear: we must not loose so many energies to fight our passions, but to look to the "things up there", practice good deeds, the beatitudes, and whorship. . So God will purify our souls, and bring us to His love. If we love in deeds our brothers and God, He will operate in our hearts, and so also our way to relate to other people will change - no matter which is the orientation, that's true for everyone.

This is a very beautiful story. Elder Paisios sounds like a true saint, as does the man he mentored. I am Catholic, and sometimes I wish we had an equivalent to Mt Athos. Hopefully someday I can visit. I have very much respect for my Eastern brothers

There are two kinds of people in this comment section; those who believe Christianity is false and a brainwashing exercise, and those who believe it to be true and life-changing.
@SIMPSON Bart Funny how Christians never ever check Bible facts. Zero evidence for Moses. The Jews created Jehovah and Moses in 950 BCE. The Romans and Jews - both lied about their ancient history, Buttercup!!!!!
And there are countless, countless testimonies close to this from Saint Paisios' life. He helped many people, including people whom other fathers didn't receive neither for confession, nor for advice. He's helping people even now. His writings give tranquility to the soul. They really do. In my opinion, everything that remained from him should be cherished and preserved in time so that it can help other Orthodox and etherodox as well on their way to Orthodoxy and to God.
Thank you for this testimony of practical faith, and how we must work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. This wisdom comes from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I’m not religious. I just treat every human and animal around me as kindly as I can and hold myself to those principles and I hope that if there is an afterlife, those lived principles will be recognized. I’m also gay myself, but I am not planning on abstaining from love, as I see no ill or evil in it. What fascinated me about the story of Stamatios was the beauty of the philosophy. How the monk recognized the sincerity of his devotion to his partner and his grief. How the monk commanded him to be relieved of any grieving thoughts by carrying that obligation over to the monk that accompanied Stamatios. I was always at odds with christianity, thinking that I would obviously hate someone like me, but I was surprised to hear that he was not condemned, scolded or hated, there was nothing but love for him as a human being! While I’m not going to become orthodox, this video really changed my view about the curch, so thank you for that! 🙏🏼
What I would like to tell you is that I mean no harm and thank you for your time in advance because for a Christian like me it's only natural to see what you wrote and to try to point out just one thing, from my perspective, one sinner to another; What I mean to say is that it's nice that you're trying to be kind and nice to the people and to the world around you but that alone isn't enough and I'm only telling you this because I believe it's important for everyone to know. God loves you and you can have a relationship with Him. By trusting in Him, by having faith you can be saved, the Bible says that are saved by believing in Jesus Christ, meaning that He is the promised One from the Torah (Old Testament) and that He literally died for us and resurrected so that we can be with Him. Obviously it's a process and it might be hard in this day and age, but consider that His followers gladly gave their lives just to talk about Him. Why would they fake it when they gain nothing, something happen to those Jewish people 2000 years ago that changed their whole perception of the world and they went around showing the world love, charity and mercy in a very harsh and cruel time... And they changed the world to the point where Rome had no option but to adopt that movement! I guess what I want to say is that no church is perfect because no person in the world is perfect but Jesus is perfect! I know that you said that you're not religious and I know that this is a nice story but it's about another person, about another life. You are also unique and special, regardless of what modern people want to tell you trust me you are, the whole universe is very finely tuned, there is no accident that we can write a book and create something complex, we are more than just chemistry + physics and some electric signals. But there are many smarter people than me that wrote really good books about this and I can recommend some of them to you if you would be interested, because if Jesus is who He says He is, it matters.

Homosexuality is a spirit. There has to be an open door the man on the video mentioned it the father as brutal and distant . It shows up in matriarchal families or where there is witchcraft or divination
I have the same problem. 😔 I try to fight against it, but it is not always easy. Many people my age are getting married and having children, and because of this problem, I don’t know if I will ever be able to start a family. It is a heavy cross, but I will do my best and, with God’s help, avoid falling into temptation. God have mercy ☦️ St. Paisos pray to God for us 🙏🏽
Αmazing story showing the love of our creator .He does not want to violate our free willing and he finds constantly ways to save us with one way or another.
What beautiful spiritual counseling! Serve others, fast, & tithe. Let God to the rest. Orthodox spirituality is the same as Catholic spirituality. I wish I could find a spiritual advisor such as St. Paisios! St. Paisios, pray for us!
Thank you for this. There is so little positive support for an LGBT christian in the world. I'm bisexual in a hetero marriage so for me it's less intense than many but it's a question that has had me shunned, shamed, excommunicated, abused, and more from churches across the spectrum. I have yet to receive any kind of guidence on navigating the world as a gay person and a Christian. As most church leaders are older than the whole gay rights movement and understand it little. I'm very glad to see a positive story around my brothers (in the LGBT)
I am really glad that you found comfort in this video and sad if you had bad experiences with "religious" people. Yet, you should know that this video in no way preaches acceptance of homosexuality in any form of shape as the Christian Orthodox answer is that homosexuality is a sin with absolutely no exceptions. The video does not provide any excuse for homosexuality inside the church. What the video does, however, is teach a homosexual man or any sinner for that matter (since St. Paisios' counsels apply for all us sinners) a way of repentance ... Having said that, Christianity and homosexuality do not come together ... I hope you ll have the courage to follow St. Paisios' counsels and proper guidance in an Orthodox church to find your way in God! God bless you :)
@@jacobnash1885 no orthodoxy does not encourage homosexuality. It is a sin. But the fact that there is no direction for an alternative life style to married with kids when the idea of heterosexual partnerships are unappealing or disgusting to some.
I know orthodoxy doesn't support SSM but most priests, pastors, or anyone even vaguely related to Christianity won't tell the lgbt community what to do if you don't get married. We lost the big family raising your niece and nephew intimacy. So they auto lose out on any sort of family system immediately by being born gay (yes you are born with it). Not everyone can be a nun or monk, most humans are not built for that level of isolation. So what do you tell someone who despite all Thier best efforts would be living a lie and unable to produce heirs should they fall into a heteronormative marriage? Or what of someone who craves on a soul level the intimacy of a life partner (even if marriage isn't part of the pact)? We need to be better as Christians at addressing this question. I came out first to my pastor as an 11 year old kid. I told him I was struggling with bisexuality and he said let me get you my friend. And wanted me to drive 4 towns away to meet them. An 11 year old kid who wasn't out to my parents yet. So I went to the closet again for 5 years. I came out publicly in 2012 during the final push for marriage equality (if government is gonna be a part of marriage which it unfortunately is, then everyone should get the same legal rights). When I came out without warning or more than a 2 minute conversation I was removed from Sunday school, choir, bible study, every form of aid I was doing for the church over night it was stripped from me. This was a church of Anderson officially but basically baptist. So now I'm 16 with no direction, no church, and a whole lot of shame. That is completely in acceptable. I asked for guidence and help 15 years ago now and I still do not have an answer for what the right thing to do with LGBT people in Christianity is... This needs a coherent game plan. A solid theological based answer that isn't "just go away". Because that's all the church has said to the gay community for millenia and despite what some may think it's definitely not a choice, I tried to force it down for years. P.S. the function of same sex couples in ecology and other animal sciences is to take in orphaned goslings/kittens/etc. They don't reproduce but they can raise. We as humans are not letting the homosexual 5% of us fill that niche.
@@danktankdragkings7117 thank you very much for writing me your story my friend! Now there are many issues in your answer I would like to discuss but I would focus on what I consider to be the most important ones. 1. So I am not a native speaker so could you please explain to me again what was it that the pastor asked you to do when you said "I came out first to my pastor as an 11 year old kid. I told him I was struggling with bisexuality and he said let me get you my friend. And wanted me to drive 4 towns away to meet them.". I don't want to offend Protestants, although I do consider Protestantism a heresy as an orthodox, but this behavior was completely unacceptable. When one finds the courage to say these things to a priest their response is understanding, love, courage and support to fight the passion together under the cover of the church and its sacramanets as with every other sin. If you've read the Bible at least once you know that a "just go away" answer is not only not biblical (as protestants like to say), even worse it's a sin. You have a sacred obligation--that's why you became a priest--to help people overcome their passions if you exclude them then why be a priest in the first place. Attention here, I am not saying help you accept your passion like more and more protestant pastors would do today as I understand … but help you fight your passion! It's like me being a sex addict and instead of receiving help from the church getting sent off. Even more important you do not need just any help (and that's why I believe protestant churches can only do so much) you need to follow the counsels St. Paisios gave. I cannot see how one can fight a passion as tough as yours without the sacraments of the orthodox church: without confession, without fasting, without Holy Communion. Fasting teaches you restraint, confession makes you visit your spiritual father to confess your sins, which alone makes you think twice before committing them again, the spiritual father provides counselling to all your specific needs and questions, not rigid, inflexible ones, but tailored to your personal circumstances. I have so much easier passions to fight than yours and still I would be lost if it was not for my spiritual father to guide me every step of the way ... Finally, Holy Communion, you receive the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ (only when the spiritual father gives permission and only when you have not repeated your sins for a period of time which provides with a motive and demonstrates actual repentance) ... I am not here to convert you to orthodxy but since we got this conversation started I would really encourage you to visit an orthodox church in case that's possible for you! I would also recommend following the videos of these channels since there are videos with content focused on young people as far as I know. One last thing, I know that you are born with it. In the Orthodox church a couple of our modern Saints have even given a theological explanation on the roots of the passion of homosexuality... 2. Now regarding all the things you told me about catering for the special circumstances of the LGBT community. And still speaking from the perspective of an orthodox Christian, one who is not familiar with the ways of protestants on this, I understand everything you described and a thought comes to my mind but I might be wrong. Once you start fighting your passion, repent and start walking in the way of the Lord you are filled with His Grace and Love so everything else becomes immediately trivial. So you go from looking for “special accommodations” for your passion to looking for “special accommodations” for hosting God in your life. Take the example of Stamatis in the video. After visiting St.Paisios he did not turn into a man who was a Christian advocating for new LGBT+ policies inside the church. He became a man with one sole purpose in his life. Save as many lost souls as possible. With this goal in mind, everything else seemed trivial to him. He dedicated himself to a heavenly cause. Now, I am not arguing that we can reach the heights of sainthood Stamatis reached with his actions, as fr. Evangelos describes in the video, but I am simply saying when you put God first, you start moving away from the "logic" and "the understanding" of today's world and partake instead in the eternal truth of God. People today are used to saying “where was God when, what did God do...”, meaning they demand their rights from Him. In the Orthodox Liturgy we have a saying which instead reads “Blessed are you, O Lord; teach me Your rights.” meaning the creation (us) wants to know the creator’s right before asserting its own, that’s the spirit of humbleness, you won’t find in any other church! Finally, I have to say I disagree with your last argument in the P.S, because as I read it (and I might be wrong) letting a homosexual couple raise an orphan is still approving of homosexuality as a way of life or worse maybe tempting homosexual people in some way. Our goal as Christians is to eradicate sin in all circumstances be it homosexuality, indifference, egoism, carnal sins, anger, violence etc and of course, always starting with ourselves! Thank you my friend if you managed to read all this, God bless!
@@jacobnash1885 Question! If your sole purpose in life is serving God and saving as many sinners as you can, what are you doing on UA-cam? I'm sure there are better ways to spend your time, like building houses for the poor and things as such! And an observation: if the sole purpose of a faithful person is serving God and helping lost sinners find the correct way, they shouldn't even consider starting a family, since it would only distract from that cause. I hope I got everything right! God Bless!
"Passion brought him to mount Athos" see how this blessed father speaks in appreciation of Stamatis's crazy love for his partner that he wanted to get sick too.. God knows how to reach out to us in ways we don't understand.. God bless them all.. May St Paisios pray for us.. read the book "The gurus, the young man, and elder Paisios".. such a masterpiece through which I as Justina have fallen in love with the saint

Christ sent! , HRISTOS ANESTI ! HRISTOS A INVIAT ! .The prophecies of Saint Paisie, which we will see in the coming months ... 2 The fall of President Erdogan and then the Great War have been fulfilled and will follow for sure. Faith is one, my dear and true, and one Church and one Baptism. The Great Holy Apostle Paul says it very simply, chapter 4 to the Ephesians = One Lord, one Faith and one Baptism. The poor man confused them all to the devil's gain, unfortunately. Whoever does not have the Faith in his heart, will accept the Sign of the Beast 666 ,,. Quickly search the Orthodox Church, Greek, Russian, Yugoslav, Romanian, Georgian, Bulgarian and Ukrainian, Eritrean and Ethiopian, there is no time to lose. In these Orthodox churches, the same Gospel, Apostle and Creed of the Faith are read on the same day. You see how beautiful God places them. This was the case throughout Europe, until the Vatican broke away from Byzantium in 1054, taking the first wrong step, unfortunately for humanity and souls. 1. The American actor converted to Orthodoxy, a great example ...Jonathan Jackson "How I became Orthodox" = ua-cam.com/video/U5tuzm1A7BY/v-deo.html 2. Elder Paisios - The Prophecies about Constantinople (English subs) = ua-cam.com/video/i4qpT_ow3sc/v-deo.html 3. Ο Αντίχριστος, Άγ.

He also had roots in people who reached holiness in Cappadocia. / Southern Turkey /
Spanish and Greek have the same vowels and many of the same consonants. As well, Ancient Greeks used to call the eastern coast of Spain "Iberia" and had small trading colonies scattered all over the place. It's possible that in antiquity olive trees might have reached Spain from Greece or from the Phoenician colonies in North Africa.

Thank you for proving that God is both holy as well as merciful. In His mercy, this man was restored to God's holiness. Saint Paisios pointed out the path.
Just goes to show that the most important thing about being a Christian is not condemning others because of their sin, but helping them out of love, kindness, and compassion as a fellow child of God.

@@invinciblecucumber To be honest, I don't entirely blame you; the concept of Hell still frightens me
It depends if you listen more Father or Son! They are not agree about many things if you read the Bible! Perhaps, Father condemned all humanity for a sin of protoplasts and Son said it's not right to punish childrens for the sins of parents... What a family?🤔😂🤣😅
@@ozzy82nick There is no disagreement between Father and Son. Jesus said, " If you have seen me, you have seen the Father. I and the Father are one."
God arranged for Jesus' birth so that he would have a path to save us. Jesus is that path.
We still cannot rebel against the commandments of God and expect salvation. The man in this story forsook his old life and began to keep the commandments.
"Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more."
"Go and do what you can and God will do for you what you cannot do [for yourself]." - Saint Paisios
Let's keep these words of St. Paisios in mind
No
I disagree with this as an Orthodox Christian.
Hail Pootler
Of course we will.
Keep crying all of you that you don't like it , this is how Christianity Orthodoxy if you not like it, then is your problem.
When you do what you can you use your will and when you trust God to do what you can’t do … you have surrendered to God’s will.
Thank you , St. Paisos ❤🙏🏻
This is so good. This is why we are Orthodox. Not to condemn the world, but to pray God would save it. And he will.
@Blythe Spirit there is only condemnation while still sinning willfully. The man that is of the flesh is at enmity, which is why a man must be born again. You are correct condemnation for sin is valid, but you are not correct that the comment was PC drivel. It's doctrine. That man must leave the world behind and forsake sin is a command. The New Testament commands are the exact same as the Old testament Commands, yet there is a spiritual law added that even the inner desire to commit sin (homosexuality, pedofilia, etc) is sin.
The thought of sin is an implanted attack from the devil..
the desire to commit the sin is fleshly sin.
The act of the sin is rebellion toward God, basically it is sin against God to sin willfully after knowing what sin is.
We are in the antichriste age and sin is not forgivable as of now.. because you are fully aware of what you are doing and thinking.
Nah he wont. It isnt worth saving. He works individually. The world be damned.
I’m a Marian Catholic and say this is Catholic Christian love. Jesus Christ founded but ONE Church the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH on the infallible Rock of Peter two millennia ago! Only Catholic’s are the true and original Christian’s and only Catholic’s go to Heaven! Protestantism,including the orthodox,is 40,000 CULTS, which are pagan! The Bible is a Catholic book the protestant Bible is an incomplete and corrupted Catholic book! Once the orthodox,be they Russian or Greek,broke from Rome they became CULTS. I know that’s comes across as nasty but it’s the painful truth. I’ll repeat Jesus Christ founded but ONE Church and NO more.
God bless all protestant’s and orthodox please come home to the mystical body of Christ on earth the holy Catholic Church. Those who do sincerely practice their orthodox faith are in reality Catholic but will more than likely have to spend some time in Purgatory when they die.
Praise Jesus and Mary always!!!

I'm struggling with homosexual attraction. Well, I'm still a virgin, and I haven't committed any sexual acts with a fellow man. But I feel there's a very strong and burning desire inside to do it. If I ever touched a man for the first time, I believe I will be addicted to sleep with different types of men throughout my lifetime. Brothers and sisters in Christ, please pray in my behalf. Ask the Divine Lord to have mercy on me, and to give me strength to overcome. May the blood of Christ wash away my infirmities and impurities. God have mercy on me, a despicable sinnner.

Am sorry for this guy who tell you drunk cause he doesn't have the way to say the wright words.
So cause even in the orthodoxy we have a little split with the new and the old calendar, the russian and the Athos state (Agion Oros-holy mountain)use the old calendar.
Am using like most people the new calendar but i know the correct one is the old.
I tell that because when i ask a monk of Athos if God see the people who believe in him even if they with old or new with same eyes,he tell what Jesus says - don't change even one word - and that means nothing.
So i believe Jesus can save us all yes but but He also said - we have to search the writings - and when you start to search you go even more deep to the way of life of Christians eventually you start to understand which is the wright even you don't do it that's the first step.

This has touched me so much. St Paisios (Aziz Payisyos, as we call him) is from my hometown (Çamlıca, Yahyalı in Kayseri/Caeserea, Turkey) and he's praised, if not revered, even by the local Muslims such as me. May his legacy live on.
I never thought that I would meet even online someone from his home. He was from the village of Farasa. Beautiful country there with the mountains. His spiritual Father a long time ago was St. Arsenios. I think they called him Hadji Efendis back then, he was the priest of the village. Elder Paisios was the son of the mayor of the village. He was just a baby when they had to move back to Greece.
Elder Paisios wrote a great book about village life in Farasa back then. It is called Elder Arsenios.
Thank you. Beautiful!
@@KKIcons Fun fact: his district used to be part of my home district and about 2200 years ago the area's name was Gabadonia!
Greeks and Karamanlids of Cappadocia carried their culture to Greece when they went there and the elders were even discriminated against for some of them only spoke Turkish or Karamanlidika (a Turkish/Greek dialect) which contributed to the retardation of their adaptation process into the culture of Greece, enabling the newer generations to be nurtured with the Cappadocian culture. That's why whenever I read about or from Aziz Paisios I'm almost always so emotional for he reminds me of a generation of people I was both lucky enough to be familiar with and unlucky enough to witness the extinction of. May our idols such as him live and prosper in our hearts and minds and may their wills, deeds and creeds manifest themselves in our behaviours as God shall guide us and may God give us the will and perseverance to better ourselves to become like them and influence the generations to come for I'm sure this is the kind of earthly immortality God wants us to thrive for.

u should come back to the Orginla and the Direct which is Orthodox
You are Roman Catholic. The term "Catholic" stands for the idea of being a world-wide church. The Orthodox Faith is the one church that followed the teachings of Christ from 1054 A.D. when the Roman Caholic Church split because they wanted a Pope, head leader & many other reasons. The Eastern Orthodox Church has declared Jerusalem as it's first & only center. Before anyone debates check out 1054 A.D. There can be only one head of the Church, Jesus Christ Himself. There are many bishops who address heresies, but they are called by one among many. There is absolutely no one leader or head in the Eastern Orthodox Church. There is also only one Way to God the Father. St. John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto {Thomas} him, I am the Way, The Truth, and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me {Jesus Christ}." God is the lover of all humanity & desires that we all should be followers of Jesus Christ.
@@janetcampbell9286 Every team needs a leader, and the Pope is the leader of the Catholic Team, and the Catholic Team worships only the Holy Trinity, which comprises of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as does the Orthodox Church.

What St Pasios told him to do really reveals the difference of Orthodoxy from Protestantism. Evangelicals would just say, "Pray this prayer and now you're a Christian."
If that man had come to me when I was a Calvinist, I would have said, "just go home and read your Bible and pray and if God wants to convert you, He will, and if He doesnt, He won't", since I believed salvation came entirely from God and human works were worthless.
wow! I loved this comment! thank you so much!
This gets me to thinking, Milo Yinopolis has come a long way in the past year, but I fear Post-Vatican 2 thinking, even as a Uniate, is holding him back from this level of conversion, making the process much harder, not as hard as it would be for a homosexual in the situation you describe, but still much harder than it needs to be. I Pray that he learns about Saint Pasios and returns to the Orthodoxy of his forefathers.

Brainwashing is a Marxist concept, used often against Orthodox by the Bolsheviks. They invented it and double speakers now seek to accuse the antidote to be the “poison”.
Also, why are you using antiPapist Jack Chick tract talking points? We’re Orthodox, and while some of those types of blasphemies can be applied against both groups equally, your mentioning of “Choir Boy Anuses” in another comment makes no sense. We do not have a pedo problem in Orthodoxy because our decentralized method of policing our priesthood WORKS. Rome’s for 900 years was based on the inquisition, which in turn was funded by various industry and centered in the Papal States, all of which Rome lost in 1850. An objective historical analysis proves it actually mostly worked, but it was HYPER central. Losing it collapsed everything and within a generation predators figured out that the shepherds were now too weak to keep protecting their lambs from wolves.
THAT part of it is not Rome’s fault and there was no ancient culture of institutional r-a;p-e in the Roman Catholic priesthood, contrary to Calvinist superstition .
What HAS been their fault has been the refusal to change a system that depended on the Inquisition, adopt the ORTHODOX methods.
Our diocesan priests are all married, most with children of their own. A fully celibate priesthood with no functioning internal affairs department (inquisition) works far better for a pedo. No wife or kids of his own or wife and kids of other priests to worry exposing him. That’s the point, the starting point, anyway.
Furthermore, our bishops are all monks who had long since proven themselves in total separation from the world, expecting nothing, then were blessed to become bishops. A pedo is not going to become a monk for decades in the very off chance he MIGHT become a bishop and given access to kids again.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of GOD, Have Mercy on us sinners, Amen 🙏🤍

One year I watched this and I visited the Mounth Athos, a taxi driver whom helped me because I was lost to arrived gave me a stamp of saint Paisios, I have forgotten it was this Saint, I went because of the same reason this gay man, I could see myself for the first time as I was, a sinner, and although I am not orthodox I felt God was there, He has always been there, and even when I sin again I remember the lessons of the orthodox brothers and try again, is later than what we think like Fr Seraphim Rose says
Really inspiring my Orthodox brothers, Im Catholic but we are one in the Lord.
One day went to elder Paisios a catholoic priest and they talked very much for various things but the conversation went to a point that the catholic priest says to the elder : Elder but at the end we all are children of God don t we ? and this saint elder answered to him..: Yes but we are playing inside his garden and you outside ..Keep that in mind because elder Paisios was not a common person he could see the past the present the future like an open book and in the religion things was very well informed .. greetings

@@janel342 you cannot be cleansed if you do not first view yourself as dirty. to understand that you are dirty is the first step towards being cleansed, and through that you understand what it means to forgive and to be forgiven.
do not rebuke the person who falls to sin, but always remember that the sin itself is of the devil and must be rebuked at all times for the filth that it is, as the rebuking of that sin is what allows it to be cast off; what stops it from clinging to you.
It's also important to bear in mind that, for the purposes of spiritual wellness, to be gay isn't something that should be treated as unique, as it simply one of many forms of perversion that stem from the sin of lust, from which stems sexual desire; he or she who has no control over their loins and partakes in sexual activity outside of wedlock and outside of the purpose of bearing children is no better than one who engages in perversions of the flesh, as both have fallen to lust, and both are wallowing in the muck of the pig-pen. Both require cleansing, and the exact level of cleansing that is required in each case depends on the strength of the passion present within a given individual.

@@zeropride1133 "one day, soon, i doubt this will even matter. The world grows more wicked each passing day. Unification will happen, there will be no other choice."
Of course there is another choice. God's choice. When people (especially those who wants unification in order for the Antichrist to rule the world) make plans God is laughing. They make their own plans but they forget that the mastermind who controls the fate of the world (butterfly effect) is God.
The world grows more wicked so now under the leadership of politicians who believe in the Antichrist we taste the fruit of our choice and that is darkness with all the consequences, no human rights (due to covid), forced vaccinations. Politicians took away your freedom so if you get vaccinated they will give it back to you. But freedom is your right by God. No one can take it away from you. Politicians turned your freedom into privilege under their condition. As long as you play along with whatever they decide with the rest of your life you will have your fake freedom but you will be a slave of the system.
Now it is time to choose light or darkness, good or evil. You will be forced to choose by the world events. By the way let me tell you one secret. God always wins. Be with the winners. And if you don't believe in God why not try to live your life as God wants just out of curiosity. You will be surprised how much "luck" will struck your life. Luck is blessing by the God. Try to find Him.
Personally it took me 40 years to find God. Now I don't just believe but I am certain beyond any doubt that God exists after 5 miracles in my life. Just because you can't see God that doesn't mean He doesn't exists. Please try to find Him.
I wish you the best in your life.

Thank you so much, @Orthodox Teaching of the Elders for sharing this…! It brought tears to my eyes 😭 as I too struggle with the same kind of lustful / sexual passions. Although I’ve never been exclusively in a relationship with a man, I have found True Love in My Beloved Lord Jesus Christ and this video convinced me that I can never ever give up on This Pure Love He has towards me…
Although I’ve been sober for quite sometime from sexual acting-out, I still feel the lustful temptations fluttering around me during the day and as especially when I’m asleep when I give into the temptation frequently.
I wish I could do an ounce of what St. Paisios prescribed 😢 but I’m dealing with a lot of mental health issues, de-addiction-ing myself and am caught up in a battle of being a good, chaste Catholic boy on one side and the world on the other side convincing me that I’m “denying” my sexuality.
Please pray for me dear brothers and sisters whoever who reads this comment - I do believe this too shall pass, but I can’t do it alone…
St. Paisios the Athonite - pray for us, pray for me a miserable and wretched sinner who craves for Christ’s Love one day at a time and who has saved me and healed me in many respects if not all…!

You have a lot of love toward God. He wont forget you. I think He will lead you toward Himself if you can be open toward His will. He is close to struggling Chistians like us. Lets not worry what anyone else thinks and also not judge, just minding our own business. Those thoughts arent from us, so we can just try to point our life in the right direction I guess and just live our life. I say Most Holy Theotokos Save Us, and I find a lot of help all the time. I can tell you aren't that kind of person anymore, like those thoughts are trying to label you as.

You should ask yourself why you feel you should struggle with “same sex attraction”. It doesn’t matter if it is a man or a woman, you’re completely capable of having a complete and meaningful relationship. A therapist could help you to understand yourself.

The meaning is clear: we must not loose so many energies to fight our passions, but to look to the "things up there", practice good deeds, the beatitudes, and whorship. . So God will purify our souls, and bring us to His love. If we love in deeds our brothers and God, He will operate in our hearts, and so also our way to relate to other people will change - no matter which is the orientation, that's true for everyone.

And there are countless, countless testimonies close to this from Saint Paisios' life.
He helped many people, including people whom other fathers didn't receive neither for confession, nor for advice.
He's helping people even now. His writings give tranquility to the soul. They really do.
In my opinion, everything that remained from him should be cherished and preserved in time so that it can help other Orthodox and etherodox as well on their way to Orthodoxy and to God.
Thank you for this testimony of practical faith, and how we must work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. This wisdom comes from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Foarte interesant. Mulțumim pentru subtitrări și video. Doamne ajută
I’m not religious. I just treat every human and animal around me as kindly as I can and hold myself to those principles and I hope that if there is an afterlife, those lived principles will be recognized.
I’m also gay myself, but I am not planning on abstaining from love, as I see no ill or evil in it.
What fascinated me about the story of Stamatios was the beauty of the philosophy. How the monk recognized the sincerity of his devotion to his partner and his grief. How the monk commanded him to be relieved of any grieving thoughts by carrying that obligation over to the monk that accompanied Stamatios.
I was always at odds with christianity, thinking that I would obviously hate someone like me, but I was surprised to hear that he was not condemned, scolded or hated, there was nothing but love for him as a human being!
While I’m not going to become orthodox, this video really changed my view about the curch, so thank you for that! 🙏🏼
What I would like to tell you is that I mean no harm and thank you for your time in advance because for a Christian like me it's only natural to see what you wrote and to try to point out just one thing, from my perspective, one sinner to another;
What I mean to say is that it's nice that you're trying to be kind and nice to the people and to the world around you but that alone isn't enough and I'm only telling you this because I believe it's important for everyone to know. God loves you and you can have a relationship with Him. By trusting in Him, by having faith you can be saved, the Bible says that are saved by believing in Jesus Christ, meaning that He is the promised One from the Torah (Old Testament) and that He literally died for us and resurrected so that we can be with Him.
Obviously it's a process and it might be hard in this day and age, but consider that His followers gladly gave their lives just to talk about Him. Why would they fake it when they gain nothing, something happen to those Jewish people 2000 years ago that changed their whole perception of the world and they went around showing the world love, charity and mercy in a very harsh and cruel time... And they changed the world to the point where Rome had no option but to adopt that movement!
I guess what I want to say is that no church is perfect because no person in the world is perfect but Jesus is perfect! I know that you said that you're not religious and I know that this is a nice story but it's about another person, about another life. You are also unique and special, regardless of what modern people want to tell you trust me you are, the whole universe is very finely tuned, there is no accident that we can write a book and create something complex, we are more than just chemistry + physics and some electric signals.
But there are many smarter people than me that wrote really good books about this and I can recommend some of them to you if you would be interested, because if Jesus is who He says He is, it matters.
@@AleksAvramJeff one of the most beautiful answers I've read ever :)
St. Paisios and Orthodoxy are not affirming but kindness goes a long way.
Thanx for share & Love from Armenia...

It shows up in matriarchal families or where there is witchcraft or divination

I have the same problem. 😔 I try to fight against it, but it is not always easy. Many people my age are getting married and having children, and because of this problem, I don’t know if I will ever be able to start a family. It is a heavy cross, but I will do my best and, with God’s help, avoid falling into temptation. God have mercy ☦️ St. Paisos pray to God for us 🙏🏽
Αmazing story showing the love of our creator .He does not want to violate our free willing and he finds constantly ways to save us with one way or another.
بشفاعات والدة الاله وجميع القديسين يا مخلص خلصنا امين
Amen CHRIST HAVE MERCY UPON ALL!🙏

What beautiful spiritual counseling! Serve others, fast, & tithe. Let God to the rest. Orthodox spirituality is the same as Catholic spirituality. I wish I could find a spiritual advisor such as St. Paisios! St. Paisios, pray for us!
Thank you for this. There is so little positive support for an LGBT christian in the world. I'm bisexual in a hetero marriage so for me it's less intense than many but it's a question that has had me shunned, shamed, excommunicated, abused, and more from churches across the spectrum. I have yet to receive any kind of guidence on navigating the world as a gay person and a Christian. As most church leaders are older than the whole gay rights movement and understand it little. I'm very glad to see a positive story around my brothers (in the LGBT)
I am really glad that you found comfort in this video and sad if you had bad experiences with "religious" people. Yet, you should know that this video in no way preaches acceptance of homosexuality in any form of shape as the Christian Orthodox answer is that homosexuality is a sin with absolutely no exceptions. The video does not provide any excuse for homosexuality inside the church. What the video does, however, is teach a homosexual man or any sinner for that matter (since St. Paisios' counsels apply for all us sinners) a way of repentance ... Having said that, Christianity and homosexuality do not come together ... I hope you ll have the courage to follow St. Paisios' counsels and proper guidance in an Orthodox church to find your way in God! God bless you :)
@@jacobnash1885 no orthodoxy does not encourage homosexuality. It is a sin. But the fact that there is no direction for an alternative life style to married with kids when the idea of heterosexual partnerships are unappealing or disgusting to some.
I know orthodoxy doesn't support SSM but most priests, pastors, or anyone even vaguely related to Christianity won't tell the lgbt community what to do if you don't get married. We lost the big family raising your niece and nephew intimacy. So they auto lose out on any sort of family system immediately by being born gay (yes you are born with it). Not everyone can be a nun or monk, most humans are not built for that level of isolation.
So what do you tell someone who despite all Thier best efforts would be living a lie and unable to produce heirs should they fall into a heteronormative marriage? Or what of someone who craves on a soul level the intimacy of a life partner (even if marriage isn't part of the pact)? We need to be better as Christians at addressing this question. I came out first to my pastor as an 11 year old kid. I told him I was struggling with bisexuality and he said let me get you my friend. And wanted me to drive 4 towns away to meet them. An 11 year old kid who wasn't out to my parents yet. So I went to the closet again for 5 years. I came out publicly in 2012 during the final push for marriage equality (if government is gonna be a part of marriage which it unfortunately is, then everyone should get the same legal rights). When I came out without warning or more than a 2 minute conversation I was removed from Sunday school, choir, bible study, every form of aid I was doing for the church over night it was stripped from me. This was a church of Anderson officially but basically baptist.
So now I'm 16 with no direction, no church, and a whole lot of shame. That is completely in acceptable. I asked for guidence and help 15 years ago now and I still do not have an answer for what the right thing to do with LGBT people in Christianity is...
This needs a coherent game plan. A solid theological based answer that isn't "just go away". Because that's all the church has said to the gay community for millenia and despite what some may think it's definitely not a choice, I tried to force it down for years.
P.S. the function of same sex couples in ecology and other animal sciences is to take in orphaned goslings/kittens/etc. They don't reproduce but they can raise. We as humans are not letting the homosexual 5% of us fill that niche.
@@danktankdragkings7117 thank you very much for writing me your story my friend! Now there are many issues in your answer I would like to discuss but I would focus on what I consider to be the most important ones.
1. So I am not a native speaker so could you please explain to me again what was it that the pastor asked you to do when you said "I came out first to my pastor as an 11 year old kid. I told him I was struggling with bisexuality and he said let me get you my friend. And wanted me to drive 4 towns away to meet them.". I don't want to offend Protestants, although I do consider Protestantism a heresy as an orthodox, but this behavior was completely unacceptable. When one finds the courage to say these things to a priest their response is understanding, love, courage and support to fight the passion together under the cover of the church and its sacramanets as with every other sin. If you've read the Bible at least once you know that a "just go away" answer is not only not biblical (as protestants like to say), even worse it's a sin. You have a sacred obligation--that's why you became a priest--to help people overcome their passions if you exclude them then why be a priest in the first place. Attention here, I am not saying help you accept your passion like more and more protestant pastors would do today as I understand … but help you fight your passion! It's like me being a sex addict and instead of receiving help from the church getting sent off. Even more important you do not need just any help (and that's why I believe protestant churches can only do so much) you need to follow the counsels St. Paisios gave. I cannot see how one can fight a passion as tough as yours without the sacraments of the orthodox church: without confession, without fasting, without Holy Communion. Fasting teaches you restraint, confession makes you visit your spiritual father to confess your sins, which alone makes you think twice before committing them again, the spiritual father provides counselling to all your specific needs and questions, not rigid, inflexible ones, but tailored to your personal circumstances. I have so much easier passions to fight than yours and still I would be lost if it was not for my spiritual father to guide me every step of the way ... Finally, Holy Communion, you receive the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ (only when the spiritual father gives permission and only when you have not repeated your sins for a period of time which provides with a motive and demonstrates actual repentance) ... I am not here to convert you to orthodxy but since we got this conversation started I would really encourage you to visit an orthodox church in case that's possible for you! I would also recommend following the videos of these channels since there are videos with content focused on young people as far as I know. One last thing, I know that you are born with it. In the Orthodox church a couple of our modern Saints have even given a theological explanation on the roots of the passion of homosexuality...
2. Now regarding all the things you told me about catering for the special circumstances of the LGBT community. And still speaking from the perspective of an orthodox Christian, one who is not familiar with the ways of protestants on this, I understand everything you described and a thought comes to my mind but I might be wrong. Once you start fighting your passion, repent and start walking in the way of the Lord you are filled with His Grace and Love so everything else becomes immediately trivial. So you go from looking for “special accommodations” for your passion to looking for “special accommodations” for hosting God in your life. Take the example of Stamatis in the video. After visiting St.Paisios he did not turn into a man who was a Christian advocating for new LGBT+ policies inside the church. He became a man with one sole purpose in his life. Save as many lost souls as possible. With this goal in mind, everything else seemed trivial to him. He dedicated himself to a heavenly cause. Now, I am not arguing that we can reach the heights of sainthood Stamatis reached with his actions, as fr. Evangelos describes in the video, but I am simply saying when you put God first, you start moving away from the "logic" and "the understanding" of today's world and partake instead in the eternal truth of God.
People today are used to saying “where was God when, what did God do...”, meaning they demand their rights from Him. In the Orthodox Liturgy we have a saying which instead reads “Blessed are you, O Lord; teach me Your rights.” meaning the creation (us) wants to know the creator’s right before asserting its own, that’s the spirit of humbleness, you won’t find in any other church!
Finally, I have to say I disagree with your last argument in the P.S, because as I read it (and I might be wrong) letting a homosexual couple raise an orphan is still approving of homosexuality as a way of life or worse maybe tempting homosexual people in some way. Our goal as Christians is to eradicate sin in all circumstances be it homosexuality, indifference, egoism, carnal sins, anger, violence etc and of course, always starting with ourselves!
Thank you my friend if you managed to read all this, God bless!
@@jacobnash1885 Question! If your sole purpose in life is serving God and saving as many sinners as you can, what are you doing on UA-cam? I'm sure there are better ways to spend your time, like building houses for the poor and things as such! And an observation: if the sole purpose of a faithful person is serving God and helping lost sinners find the correct way, they shouldn't even consider starting a family, since it would only distract from that cause. I hope I got everything right! God Bless!
Kyrie Eleison,
Seigneur Jésus Christ, aies pitié 🥺❤️🙏

see how this blessed father speaks in appreciation of Stamatis's crazy love for his partner that he wanted to get sick too..

I want to always remember it.

Yes two languages are similar

Faith is one, my dear and true, and one Church and one Baptism. The Great Holy Apostle Paul says it very simply, chapter 4 to the Ephesians = One Lord, one Faith and one Baptism.
The poor man confused them all to the devil's gain, unfortunately.
Whoever does not have the Faith in his heart, will accept the Sign of the Beast 666 ,,. Quickly search the Orthodox Church, Greek, Russian, Yugoslav, Romanian, Georgian, Bulgarian and Ukrainian, Eritrean and Ethiopian, there is no time to lose.
In these Orthodox churches, the same Gospel, Apostle and Creed of the Faith are read on the same day.
You see how beautiful God places them.
This was the case throughout Europe, until the Vatican broke away from Byzantium in 1054, taking the first wrong step, unfortunately for humanity and souls.
1. The American actor converted to Orthodoxy, a great example ...Jonathan Jackson "How I became Orthodox" = ua-cam.com/video/U5tuzm1A7BY/v-deo.html
2. Elder Paisios - The Prophecies about Constantinople (English subs) = ua-cam.com/video/i4qpT_ow3sc/v-deo.html
3. Ο Αντίχριστος, Άγ. Παΐσιος Αγιορείτης | The Antichrist St. Paisios the Athonite (English subtitles) = ua-cam.com/video/oILq765ZP9A/v-deo.html
St. Paisie fell asleep in 1994. He also had roots in people who reached holiness in Cappadocia. / Southern Turkey /
What does any of that have to do with Greek sounding like Spanish
Spanish and Greek have the same vowels and many of the same consonants. As well, Ancient Greeks used to call the eastern coast of Spain "Iberia" and had small trading colonies scattered all over the place. It's possible that in antiquity olive trees might have reached Spain from Greece or from the Phoenician colonies in North Africa.
Let God fight your passions.
Lord Jesus, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner
Amen
