One must be insanely arrogant to suggest knowing something of a God. It is by boldness, Moses became the world's worst navigator, by having one foot in some fantasyland. There is a fine line between fishing & standing on the shore, looking like an idiot. Fail to get the Jews to buy it for 2000 years & they should know who their Messiah is. Jesus is a fake, to immortalize the war against the Jews. Jesus Christ is crucified for all time in literature & the subjects of Rome are illiterate. Freud wrote, "The antidote to Christianity is literacy" & the joke is in the scriptures. "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:" Galatians 3:13
An improvement on your God & faith; would outlaw indoctrination & abuse of the vocabulary of fiction on children.
@@Stupidityindex Why do you want to stone adulteresses to death? Why do you want the sick and poor to die, in the streets?
Why do you think that "help each other, instead of selling out" is bad advice, in the face of a colonizing oppressor?
Jesus loved His people. His advice was useful, at that time. Other political leaders, throughout history, have understood and used His message and recommendations, to good effect.
No anti-Semitism, required. That was Malcolm X, not MLK Jr.
I have a question can you make a video summarizing the tradition of the church from beginning to end all the way unto the non denominqtional concerts and how its weird how they are so modern
the start clcaim aboutr "you are gods" , is not preserved only in the eastern orthodox...
if u dont have those in ur bible in america... your bible is literally rewritten and church is corrupt, wich i dont even doubt... americans worship lucifer, not jesus...
have you watched grammy awards or anythign hollywood, disney lately ? thjey literally have woke apologetic cartoons how lucifer is actually the victim and the good guy lol... and propbaly transsexual :DD im not kidding... look it up... i dont remember the cartoon name tho....
... about teaching as being gods...
God Is Love
“He who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.” (1 John 4:16)
You Are God
“Is it not written in your Law, “I have said ‘you are gods’”?” (John 10:34)
God Is Within You
“The Kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21)
Someone has explained pretty well the concept of christianity and the ideology how its not t hat far from actual observable nature and science ... since its art literature... most people are not that intelligent to interpret the bible even... and everyone sees their own meaning in it....

As a former atheist, Orthodoxy was the only type of Christianity that addressed issues I had with western churches. Glory to God for all things. Christ is Risen! ☦️
Truly He Is Risen !☦
I too am an Orthodox former atheist. Glory to Christ, glory forever
Orthodoxy solved my issues with "Christianity" (Catholicism and Protestantism), and having done that, also opened my mind to the sorts of things that convinced me that God existed. Things the rational mind and tongue cannot easily express, or argue, to explain to others why I now believe, but didn't in the past. I've had some experiences since that were not delusions, or prelest. One syllable spoken by the Holy Spirit into the depths of your being changes everything. My tongue cannot confess it so that others may believe by my testimony alone.
Glory be to The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Now, and ever, and unto the ages of ages! Amen!
Amen
The true Gospel is neither Eastern or western. Straw man alert!!

I am a German protestant and I was able to visit Athos last May shortly after the Orthodox Eastern. A very wise monk gave me a German translation of Theosis and it opened my eyes to a lot a of things. Athos is probably the most beautiful place I have ever been. So much power and peace at the same time. I am thinking about getting baptised again when I will visit the holy mountain again. Christos Anesti!!
If you were baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and there weren’t any sect-specific caveats that are incompatible, I don’t know why you’d need to get rebaptized. Doing so in God’s name specifically is because it is the Lord that confers baptism unto us, not the person baptizing. They are just a mediator, and any sin they commit has no bearing on your baptism. If anyone would tell you differently, I’d be wary of their views. It’s why I do not follow the Orthodox Church, frankly, I cannot get a coherent doctrine from them, as it’s all just generalizations, due to how decentralized it is.
Can you share with me what kind of things opened your eyes?

@@Brother_Piner Though your strict explanation is true, you forget that there is no prohibition of multiple Baptisms…indeed, Rev22:14 would imply much washing/mikvah is not only warranted, but supported in the only Bible Jesus had, taught or “authorized…” “)

Same with communion…

Orthodoxy definitely has the better drip.
you are not wrong
It's worth noting that the language used in the Koine Greek is not become "a god," but "become God." it's as provocative as it sounds; not that we become God the Trinity, but that we are made to participate in the Infinity of God as the portions of Him that we already are (in our protology and teleology). We are always finite expressions of His infinite creative Glory, and theosis is growing into a fuller and fuller oneness with that reality.
I was about to go look for manuscript studies to confirm this. Thank you. The opening is very confusing when they seem to take Jesus’ word literally that we are Gods and I almost clicked off the video
thanks for the explanation
What the fuck do you know about Greek and why do you think any finite ANYTHING can represent an infinite quantity? Did you pass high-school mathematics?
This video is proof of how man cant help himself but to convolute truth with vain imaginings. Christ was very clear in what He taught and what He did. Why do people need to come up with all this bs about Mary being a god, shes not and never will be, Christ said we will be as the sons of God which are the angels. Its wrong to ever think you can be anything close to the Holy Lord Yeshua, the Holy Spirit, and the Most High Father. We can try to emulate but He is beyond us. Please stop worshipping false idols.
That was helpful. I’m trying to understand trinity better and it’s hard when wording isn’t precise. The words in the video were a little hard to digest so thank you.
I’m not even a Christian, but as an outsider, it is clear to me that orthodoxy achieves the true meaning of Christ’s words as a philosophy. Though I believe in different things, the Orthodox Church has preserved and honored the word of Christ in a way that I cannot help but respect.
You seem like a really decent humble person. Please forgive me but l pray one day you will come to Orthodoxy. May God's blessings find you with joy and happiness.
Yeah, and Russian Orthodoxy does show this, doesn't it? A disgustingly sinful, intolerant and warmongering cult like many others, equally susceptible to political pressures and profoundly hypocritical
@@guspapadopouloswhy ruin this by pushing something on this person. They’re infinitely more humble and decent then you are
@@Eargulp No need to insult the guy. He did nothing wrong. He was incredibly nice and encouraging.
@@TTancevatAs a Greek living in Greece an Orthodox country I can tell you that the Orthodox church is definitely not following the words of Christ but their pockets, lust for control and their sick fantasies and if you dive a bit deeper it's pretty easy to see
A church that looks the most strict and cultish it’s actually the most free and peaceful
Read the entire Bible…. This is a cult I am former mystic, this is much like Gnosticism mixing bible with Eastern spiritual. It’s its NOT biblical and to masquerade as such is evidence of its true nature
those garbs are kewl af 🔥

It's because they clearly have high level end game gear. The drip is on another level. Dude looks like he's about to whoop the assassins creed guy with a belt.

Я родился в крупнейшей православной стране, но я не слышал таких слов и не получал такого понимания о Христе, как в этом ролике. Удивительно, что можно на чужом языке так передать смысл православия, и передать тому, кто не понимал этот смысл на своём родном языке. Спаси вас Бог!

Any church that upholds apostolic succession is built on a heresy. Practicing heresies is a disqualification from heaven. *Galatians 5:20*
The apostles had to witness Jesus after his resurrection. You can’t be an apostle without witnessing Christ after the resurrection. Therefore apostolic succession is a heresy and a false belief.
Both Eastern Orthodoxy and Catholicism are practicing a different gospel.

*Galatians 1:6-7 (NLT)*
6 I am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God, who called you to himself through the loving mercy of Christ. You are following a different way that pretends to be the Good News

I was born & raised in Japan til I was 19. Both my parents are American not Japanese, I was brought as Catholic but somehow I still found Catholicism was lacking. Indescribably only orthodoxy was able to touch me in a deeply profound way that catholicism couldn’t. I converted to holy orthodoxy 2 months. I love this channel.
I still wonder why orthodoxy is able to touch the inner core of an individual more than catholicism, it does seem to resonate in a higher plain of existence
No orthodoxy doesn’t only to you bro and you’re going based on feelings that’s feminine the orthodox don’t have the miracles like the Catholic Church
i am brazilian-macedonian, I grew up in an evangelical family, I had experience with Roman Catholicism, I am currently Lutheran, and I also feel that way about Orthodoxy.

As a westerner who never heard of the Orthodox Church and fell out of the Catholic Church in my teenage years now seeking Orthodoxy; this is the clearest explination so far on what the purpose of the Orthodox life is and why it gives meaning. Very complex but I think I get the jist of it. What an empowering and humbling destiny God wants for us!
@@LorenzoMasterConnectorNo Way … they are under the pope … they are no longer Orthodox
Catholics destroyed many monasteries in Romania, trying to get orthodox ppl covert by force to Catholicism
@@LorenzoMasterConnector also a perfect example of how Rome cares more about submission than she cares about truth! Eastern Catholicism actually proves that the papacy isn’t even “catholic” (meaning universal.) no longer a universal creed or theology, but more than that, you have “catholics” confessing a creed and a theology which Rome once declared heretical, and you have “catholics” venerating saints which Rome once declared anathematized heretics. So are you in communion with heretics, or did the pillar of truth change its mind? You’ve brought a perfect example of the absurdity of your system, now get out of here with that, trying to proselytize on an Orthodox channel with your falsehood
@@kaden7374 keep telling yourself those lies. Orthodoxy loves to pretend like it’s got authority and sound doctrine but based off of research and actually trying to get to the bottom of it there are many I mean MANY inconsistencies. There is no mention of “Orthodoxy” in the Bible, prayers, or even pre-schism saints. But keep telling yourself that you’re “one” “holy” “Catholic” and “apostolic” church
He reality points that orthodoxy does a lot of lip service and when out to the test fails miserably.
I love orthodoxy and enjoy Byzantine liturgy, but when it comes to sharing “truth” it’s a mess and anyone who actually studies the faith can come to that realization with crystal clear accuracy.
Pre schism saints affair the papacy, ecumenical councils, the filoque and more bit of course those facts don’t suit you so they are “lies” and “forgeries”
Those classic rebuttals don’t work on people who actually have looked into the matte of themselves and I suggest orthodoxy starts sharing the full truth before they start losing followers that actually dive deeper.
Same story as you brother. Going to be chrismated soon in the Orthodox church. God bless you on your journey. I found home, and so will you. ☦️
@@kaden7374 no falsehood was made. I stated facts. Stay consistent

I'm a Westerner who had, before this video, never heard any Orthodox teachings. I explored Catholocism and Protestantism but found them completely uncompelling but I like this view of the purpose of human life better. It actually seems like there's a real reward for seeking the truth rather than filtering everything through a myopic lens of self-centred "personal improvement" that just shatters everyone into atomic, singular units divorced from one another and totally alone. I like the idea presented here of a "body" of Christ. I still wouldn't call myself a believer because I don't think souls or god(s) exist but at least I can somewhat understand what's appealing about Orthodoxism. I'll listen to the rest of the lectures and see what I think after. Thanks for uploading this video, it's unlike anything I've ever heard before!
You may want to examine other videos of this channel tho...
I am to do my life confession today, please pray that i am not swayed from speaking all of my sins
@shuFu-fr2sw wonderfully, I was soon after recieved into the Orthodox Church via baptism just this past Saturday :D

@@gallonofpcp it seems you're unaware of how confession works, I hope you come to a greater understanding one day!
@@gallonofpcp that is not true. Yes You should not purposely omit sins that you do know about. Yes, if you happen to remember them later you can still confess it. But sins you have totally forgotten and don't confess will not sent you to hell. You have been misled on this one.
we are part of Christ's body, we are with him in pain, in death, in resurrection and ascension. Theosis. Beautiful. Alleluia.
You realize how absolutely ludicrous this sounds right? We can detect infrared specs from 13 billion years ago, alter our genome, put payloads in orbit, and yall are over here talking about sharing a body with a single Jewish man who lived 2000 years ago. Such an anchor on our species.
@@kevinsayes Kevin, thank you for your comment and I hope you are having a good day. I understand your frustration with us Christians, with our non-scientific world view, although the deeper in science you get, the more mystery you find, enough that science have to create stuff like dark matter. We can also argue that Christianity played a major if not most critical role in the development of modern science and technology, we have always been a patron. There are many info about this online, from the creation of universities to the Bible's role in literacy and spread of democracy and independent thought. The doctrine of Man being made in the image of God, is the basis of our common law, allowing for many of the freedoms that we hold dear, allowing us to think freely and participate in scientific research. Christians have evolved with modern science and democracy in a partnership to enhance life, We have charities that nourish and educate young people to be future scientist and free thinkers although many of them grow up to mock the church in their pride, now that they have education and knowledge of the material world.
At the end, Christians live in this world following teachings handed down to us by our ancestors, wisdom that has sustained us for ages and we pray it sustains us for as long as the sun shines. But this world is not our destination, heaven is, with our God. Our enemies are free to mock us and hate us, as they do through the ages, All we can do is pray that God does not send fire and brimstone upon them, because that happens sometimes. He is a good God after all.

I was blessed to have know Archimandrite Georgios Kapsanis, of blessed memory, for over 30 years. One of the finest fathers in Agion Oros (Holy Mountain-Mount Athos). He was the abbot of the monastery of St Grigorios... Happy and blessed Easter!
Its very interesting to me that the occult, the "Great Work", in super reductive and simplistic terms, is an inversion of Theosis. Trying to achieve this transformation without Christ. Thank you for another great video harmony.

Same here. Grew up with a very anti-catholic, southern baptist father (who grew up irish Catholic himself but left the church very bitterly). Was always taught that orthodox and catholics were lost and corrupt, not true Christians.
As I've got older, i began to look at Christianity as a large nation made up of many different cultures, regions, and people. Catholic, orthodox, luthren, episcopal, Anglican, and many more, we should all be loving each other and working together to prepare the kingdom.

This Baptist found nothing to ruffle my feathers and little to contradict my beliefs. It may seem contradictory to basic Sunday School teachings but not so much with deeper study. I subbed. ❤ Christ is King.
Its only because you all openly worship idols. You declare this and that outside of scripture then pretend as if its truth. Mary is not a god, and praying to her is idolic worship. Its sad to me that having a personal relationship with Christ seems so impossible to all of you. I didnt have the luxury of a church so I sought Christ alone, and He changed me forever. What I don't understand is how you can put mary to a status of god when theres no scriptural anything to back this up. Im non denominational, but
Christ is with me, and I speak to Him more than my lady some days. However to your church im a heretic and couldn't possibly love Christ as I do. Its a trip really, im here with only my Holy Bible and faith, while you have this great expanse of ritual and doctrine that is knowwhere in scripture. Maybe yall still burn people for daring to read the Holy Book themselves, oh wait that was Catholics I get you guys confused sometimes.
@@dustydesertdisciple6290 Are you talking about catholic, orthodox or protestant? All 3 were mentioned. I am Baptist which is the severe other end of the spectrum when it comes to church authority versus Bible authority (Baptist is all scripture authority). We don't have idols whatsoever. No portraits, no statues, etc. Some of us consider having a cross on the building as an idol. 😤
@@dustydesertdisciple6290 Catholics do worship false idols and have no personal connection to God when they have to go through a middle man to talk to God.
My favorite UA-camr rn your videos are all works of art 🙏
Watching with headphones was brilliant. Glory to God ☦️
This was absolutely amazing made, great content for all of us, thank you. 🙏🏽
This channel is amazing, the production of the video is simply astonishing great work and thanks for spreading the word of God
I had seen more and more of the occult, and unholy imagery in general pushed in everything I consumed, whether it be movies, or the things I am taught in college. I then was pulled towards God, and more specifically orthodoxy. I am finding all of the things that made me lose faith in Christ and God in my Protestant upbringing are not at all present in Orthodox Christianity. Not only that, I am feeling a rejuvenation of my spirit more and more as I learn about Orthodoxy. It is going to be a long journey, but I am wholly faithful in Christ again, and I feel as though I have been saved from a life of sin. Glory to God, for he has saved me.
I wish these videos would get boosted. They explain everything so well and are made so beautifully. Thank you for sharing the glory of God with us.
Disrupt to Harmony, I still manage to find your videos. Although disappointed with Disrupts ending, I’m glad to see you still creating top notch content.
I am ROCOR for 3 years and I've seen a glimpse of heaven in my parish.
Actually that’s simply an interior experience of belief, you believe your getting a glimpse of heaven even though you’re really just in a building somewhere.
@@jupiterinaries6150 A beautified building full of Holy images that's set aside for participating in eternal, ongoing worship of God and partaking in the Body and Blood of Christ, is not simply just a building.
@@TyrannicalReigner of course is but you are impregnating the experience with a belief that it is something more when in reality you’re simply having self-induced interior sensations.
@@jupiterinaries6150 God's Grace is real, not "self-induced sensations."
@@jupiterinaries6150. No, heaven and earth are joined in Liturgy. I’m sorry you don’t know this.
beautiful video, super well edited and well researched
I'm here solely becouse justin marler from sleep became an orthodox monk

Thank you Harmony
Fantastic video! very well done! I'm buying the book now, thank you.
This is better than all of the stuff you worked on at disrupt 100000000000000)% upgrade
As a protest I love learning about orthodox belief and doctrine. Very eye opening
Bless you, God will lead you to the true
Same. I feel like these videos have led me to be more open and ecumenical with different Christian branches i otherwise wouldn't have given a second thought too.
keep your traditions be proud to be a protestant do not forget the sacrifice.

Russia,Serbia,Greece,Etiophia,Georgia,Romania,Bulgaria,Montenegro,Macedonia,Armenija .....Welcome to ORTODOXY
You forgot some, but that's to be expected from a lot of... conservatives. Also, Eastern Orthodoxy is not the same as Oriental Orthodoxy.
Assyrians too❤ may god bless us all and keep us close to him. Amen. 🙏
Excellent explanation of our faith! Greetings from Crete, Greece!❤
Love your videos. I was really hoping a video would come out today/tonight for pascha
I don't agree with much of this but I'm happy to learn of different perspectives. May you all find what you seek, however you seek it.
Much love from your brother in Christ, a Catholic ✝
God bless you brother. You have humbled me, a Orthodox Christian ☦️
May the Lord have mercy on all of us and may we never lose sight of him and his way. Pray without ceasing my friend. Thank you for your love, God's love through you 🙏🏼
@lumberzach77 you are not our brother, come to the right path
@@ianucalen Do some work. You haven't been paying attention, I'm afraid to say. If Catholicism was the right path you wouldn't have just said what you just said. That's just one of the thousands of reasons Catholicism isn't the truth.
@@ianucalen You have something to learn from @lumberzach77.
I love this style of video, good work!
If you're interested in music starting from 1:40 - it's Arvo Pärt - Fratres
Thank you
Hey babe, new Elden Ring DLC lore just dropped
