the mind is a way for the devil to get in, our mind is in the spiritual life and what we think is not always from us
Truly, i was meditating on this yesterday. Pride takes many forms. Pride of mind, e.g the protestants, they think that their interpretation of the bible is the best than the early church fathers. And because of the pride they have, it caused divisions and confusions. At the end, its all pride. They're just disobedient. Because what they think, is the best. Oh blessed mother Mary, pray for us here on earth, for the conversion of sinners.
@@SaintMichael0825Luke 11:27-28.
Did you watch the video?
@@ECLECTRIC_EDITS yeah i watched the video. In Luke 11:28. Did you keep the Word of God?
Luke 10:16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
Its crystal clear, the Lord was talking to His Apostles. Not your pastor. Now im gonna ask you, did you obey what the One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic church told you to do?
@@ECLECTRIC_EDITS sir ilove you. But you have to stop trusting your own and start trusting the Lord. Not just by lipservice. Walk the talk. Humble before the Lord sir. God bless you always
@@SaintMichael0825 Thankyou, God bless you as well!
@@SaintMichael0825 Also im not protestant, im Orthodox. I respect the virgin Mary for her obedience and her devotion to serving the Lord, and wish to follow that as Jesus commanded in Luke 11:27. But I also follow Exodus 20:4 because there is a danger to worshiping created images since no man has seen Mary and the saints and their true appearance since they went to heaven.
Also i focus on the Holy Spirit as my only intercessor for prayers above praying to the saints. John 14:16-18
Amen ☦️
Thank you. I always comment to boost your algorithm and visibility as well as liking. I encourage the faithfuls to do so for the glory of God and for orthodoxy.
Thank you immensely. Christ is in out midst!
@@holyresurrectionofchrist Glory to our God and Redeemer🕯️👏
Oh my, how easily we can slip into this. Lord have mercy! I am guilty myself. In this age of endless information. The curiosity is endlessly being peaked. “O Lord and Master of my life, a Spirit of idleness, CURIOSITY, ambition and idle talk give me not. But a spirit of chastity, humility, patience and love bestow upon me your servant.” Amen.
Intelligence is much more of a curse than people believe.
The fact that God lets it happen means that it can be good.
So you choose that your children be born stupid rather intelligent ? Like the commentator above, its important to get schooled properly and use it for good.
As Elder Thaddeus pointed out tirelessly, thoughts determine our lives. Timely. Thank you from one so prone to these delusions!
A lot of the times I question my actions in reading the Bible, Saints, Theology, Church History, Mysticism, etc. to know and love God, if it can lead to the pride of my intellect. In a world that tells you to take pride in your efforts and works, I find taking any sort of pride in yourself (that is in vain) lessens the glory of Jesus Christ. "εκείνον δει αυξάνειν, εμε δε ελαττουσθαι"/"He must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:30)
I love this! I want to listen again and again! Oh Lord, illumine my darkness! Help me Lord!
this hits home for me. listening to you tube on religion, I quickly become too involved. I knew that I was being sucked in, but hearing it from an outside source, resonates with me.
This is particularly true in Evangelical Bible believing Protestantism of which I have belonged for over 45 years-but not much longer.
So accurate 🎯
Very insightful
In Jesus name, amen.

Why was this quote from David included? “They told me of the mocking of the lawless, but they are not like Your law.” Can you explain what this meant in context to the video? Thank you
In the context of Psalm 119 (or Psalm 118 in some traditions) It emphasizes the contrast between the lawlessness of the world and the steadfastness of God's law, highlighting the importance of fidelity to divine commandments despite opposition or ridicule.
In other words, we need to crucify our intellect if we want to understand the Providence of God since we are limited in our understanding. Our wisdom is foolishness before the Lord.
(1 Corinthians 3:19) For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written: “He taketh the wise in their own craftiness”;
O Lord, how can we be cured of the ugly knowledge the Saint talks about? In the modern world we are bombarded with news and world events from every direction. How difficult it is to tune out.
Can I ask something ?
If for example I wanna become a doctor
I need to study
Is that kind of knowledge bad ? If I do it to help my fellow creations of God
You can become a holy physician, like St. Luke of Crimea
@@holyresurrectionofchrist so becoming a doctor is bad ?
@@okbro00No, as long as you have a genuine devotion & a love for God suitable and appropriate for your vocation.
