Heb 13:1-3: "Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unexpectedly. Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body."
Sfinții părinți sfătuiesc să nu se asculte cuvintele diavolului, căci este tatăl minciunii, dar, nu pe oricine și în orice împrejurare înșeală diavolul. În cazul sfinților, cu puterea Lui Dumnezeu, ei legau pe diavol să spună adevărul sau să facă un anumit lucru poruncit de ei. Noi nu putem, că suntem păcătoși, dar sfinții puteau. Și observați cum diavolul nu îndrăznește să-i pronunțe numele Maicii Domnului, nu numai din lipsă de respect (aici se aseamănă cu protestanții , care o desconsideră), ci de teamă pentru puterea sfințeniei ei, care-i arde. Maica Domnului nu e moartă, fraților, sfinții în împărăția Lui Dumnezeu sunt mai vii decât noi! "Dumnezeu nu este al morților, ci al celor vii."
V a cuprinde înparatia Lui Dumnezeu și pamint ul după ce îl v a curați? Dacă suntem cu Hristos în noi, facem ce a spus Hristos, asa vom fi cu El mereu în fericirea și bucuria veșnică. Asa cum a zis voi fi cu voi în veșnicie.

Hello. There he says something in the light of modernistic anti-legalism which is problematic - ,,His paying the debt on the cross to redeem humanity is not the debt of pain and punishment that God must exact from sinners to assuage his wrath and satisfy his justice.“ If we say that God's Justice is not satisfied, that would mean to say that there is not God's Justice as One of His uncreated energies. But it exists and His Justice and Love are both divine eternal energies which do not contradict each other.
I met Fr Cordaoza about 20 years ago. Wonderful man! We were visiting friends in Medford. At the time, I was a Byzantine Rite Catholic so we attended Liturgy at St Innocent’s in Rogue River.
What tone is this ? I realize you can't chant it like this in English? And I can't find anyone chanting in English in this tone /rhythm that makes it seem as happy song glorifying God
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away is found in Matthew 24:35, therefore, the Bible came first which is Jesus himself which is the Word.

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
