    After watching this in full, I've decided to reflect on how I have dealt with others. What stood out the most was the approach to dealing with others who are not of the faith, the approach to save rather than condemn. I also will look into what you have said about the Trinity. I am also new to the faith, well I was born into Catholicism, baptised, communion, and confirmation, but I never took it seriously until recently. That's when I began looking into the different denominations... besides the point. The verse that popped into my mind: "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, `Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." Rather than condemning I should ensure that I sort myself out first and mature before speaking on other's beliefs and debating. I should try to develop a closer relationship with Jesus and hopefully let the fruits speak.

Regardless of when you would say something I disagreed with I knew that you had a passion for truth and that passion is all you needed to search deeper. Every year I see you you are more and more grounded, mature, rooted. So thank you! And God Bless You.

    Glad ur back Don! 🎉Definitely good knowing you affirm the trinity now…John 8:24~ “Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that “I AM”you will die in your sins. Exodus 3:14~ And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “This is what you shall say to the sons of Israel: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

      John 8:24
      I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
      The meaning is right there in the next 4 verses down, the same chapter, God help us!
      John 8:28
      Then said Jesus unto them, WHEN YE HAVE LIFTED UP THE SON OF MAN, THEN SHALL YE KNOW THAT I AM HE ( verses 25,26,27; who the father sent, to suffer for their transgressions according to Isaiah 53 ), and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
      It doesn't justify the dogma of Trinity, Christ is an Elohim/God , but he's not God the father ( Yahovah ).

What you said in 41:30 and 42:05 point right to Holy Orthodoxy, The church that continues apostolic succession and the traditional faith. Once you look into the church more, the lives of the saints and actually experience the Divine Liturgy in person you will realise. What you are looking for is right in front of you Brother. I pray that God continues guide you and your family.

Being a constant reminder for other Christians to keep on track is just as beneficial as teaching the word itself, but as you've said there's pastors with decades of experience for that and churches plenty. What a lot of people need is someone to hold them accountable on days that aren't Sunday.

I recall mentioning in one of your other videos that is now removed that I knew you'd eventually start figuring things out, which is why I wasn't really upset about your theological stances as others were. Especially the Trinitarian video, if you recall. They were absolutely understandable for someone new to the faith and zealous for God. I'm just glad that you heeded the advice of both people online and in your personal life and let God work things out. It's great to see you also take the advice to look into the traditional ideologies of the early church fathers more as well. Proud of you man! You've shown tremendous growth in such a short amount of time. God bless!

    Fire video don. I think the point you made about the early church receiving new people & teaching them rather than just handing them a Bible and telling them to read was such an amazing point. I’m sort in a similar boat when it comes to how I derive my theology. I’m not Catholic or orthodox but I believe the early church MUST be your foundation of interpreting the Bible. I mean what In the world makes us think we can over write 2000 years of history or theology directly from descendants of the apostles ? I think we all knew you’d come to where you are now though, from the beginning you’ve always seemed like a man of integrity don, massive respect for you.

    This is a wonderful video and it's good to see a man humbling himself to align with what God has revealed. I think the ante-nicene fathers are a great place to start, but don't stop there! And remember that all the difference of language that they might have with modern Catholic and Orthodox is secondary to the shared belief that we need to be united with the body of Christ, praying together and worshipping together. I do pray that you end up in a church, whether it be Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental or Coptic, personally for me I will be heading into the Catholic Church this fall but I will rejoice anywhere you end up. God bless!

I thank God for using you to speak to everyone especially those in our 20s who may feel like we’re lost or not doing enough. It takes a mature person to admit their wrong doings and seek forgiveness.

    This is why I believe focusing on the behavior and teachings of Christ while not deviating from what the apostles instructed us to do is what should be the best course of action.
    Having leaders in our congregations that focuses on these aspects and do not interpret the scriptures reduces the risks of going astray from what God truly wants from us.

Therefore we *SHOULD* do good works because we are saved. Not WILL because that implies that we must have good works in order to be saved. You left out the should in that statement which makes it vague. pretenders like you love to backload works and make the gospel confusing but inevitably your demise will be by your works.

      You've got the wrong idea. This is not about works or faith, it's about love, the theological Virtue of Charity mentioned by St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 13.
      Charity gives life to faith, and Charity is faithful, believes all things, hopes all things, withstands all things.
      Charity is immortal and this is what allows for the Resurrection of glory.
      It's not about doing X or Y work it's about an attitude of love, a state and virtue of grace called Charity.
      If you have Charity in your soul you are saved, but if you sin by sufficient knowledge and choice you will renounce Charity and your faith is useless regardless of your subsequent works.
      To regain Charity you must make an act of perfect repentance or go to confession at which point the Catholic Church will perfect your repentance provided you regret and want to change.
