🤔 "THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD CARRIED PHILLIP AWAY..." WHY COULDN'T THIS BE THE SAME "CARRYING AWAY" AS IN THE SAME EFFECT OF "GUIDING HIM THERE?" AS IN... WHY DOES IT HAVE TO MEAN HE DISAPPEARED OR WAS PHYSICALLY TAKEN? WHY COULDN'T IT MEAN, JUST AS HE WALKED UP TO THE EUNUCH HE SIMPLY WALKED AWAY IN THE SPIRIT AS HE HAD CAME IN THE SPIRIT & THE EUNUCH DIDN'T EVER SEE/TALK WITH HIM AGAIN? 🤷♂️ ALSO, SORRY BRUH, REALLY DO LOOOOVE YOUR WORK, BUT ( THE HEART REVELATION ) IS NOT MOVED BY 3 DIFFERENT THINGS... BUT ONE. HIS SPIRIT PERIOD. WHICH... IS ( JUST LIKE THE TRINITY ) TAKING AWAY FROM HIS DEITY FOR HOW CAN GOD BE EVERYWHERE/EVERYTHING AT ONCE... IF HE IS SUBJECT TO 3. HE IS 1 IN & OF ALL. BEGINNING & END IS NOT 3 THINGS... HE IS 1.
I've been searching for reality as far as I can remember. From hobbies to ideologies to the future and to knowledge. 9 months ago I realized that Christ was the reality.
@@ntrlnwrmzIf truth was gained by logic alone then truth would not be truth. It must gain feeling aswell brother, you will know you see truth when you feel it. May God be with you.
For me it was the historical evidence behind Christ, his message, and what it ment for him to come, before I was agnostic and Catholic, though not raised as one. Now I watched these videos, enjoy them, as we are all brothers in Christ, and follow his church, with Francis at its head, with the unbroken chain leading back to Peter. I am curious. if I make an artwork, which takes influence from Christian thought and ideals, though does not reinterpret the meanings of those ideals and thoughts
I'm a filmmaker in London, and this is amazingly done in every single aspect! The attention to small details is what makes it so elegant and powerful. Thank you for portraying our faith in such a beautiful creative manner.

I don't know what happened to me during this video, but everytime that Isaiah 53:7 popped up on the screen I cried. Just as you said, something inside the word of God melted my heart. Never felt like that before. Crying like a kid right now. Thanks.
The only way to effectively do this, you must remember those things that happened which hurt you inside, learn to accept them and understand how they effected you behavior
Doesn't it bother you that it is written to call no man father, yet these men have chosen that specifically as their title? “And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.” Matthew 23:9 KJV
@@realjosephanthony Christ's warning against calling hypocrites father and teacher is not an absolute prohibition against using these terms, as some teach. These terms are applied to men many times in the NT, all of which usages are inspired by God. Teacher is used in Jn 3:10; Acts 13:1; 1Co 12:28; Eph 4:11; and 2Ti 1:11. Father is used in Lk 16:24; 1Co 4:15; and Col 3:21. Since the very early days of the Church, bishops and presbyters have been called “father” not because they take the place of God, but because in their fatherly care for their flocks, they lead people to God, and they exercise fatherly authority within the community.
@@Unseen_warfare. Yeah... All that doesn't change Matthew 23. Calling a stranger, "Father" or "Master" is simply wrong. They called Christ "Teacher" Yet these virgins in gowns I'm to call, "Father" ? No. *** Fatherly authority is reserved for Fathers and THE Father. Not some man. They have no power. Certainly not power as "Father".
@@Unseen_warfare. You're cherry picking verses completely and utterly out of context, did you google "Father in the New Testament" ? I hope you didn't... "Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged." Colossians 3:21 KJV You realize this is referring to LITERAL fathers, correct? The title "Father" outside of God in Heaven is not to be used if it isn't your literal Father. That is not a title anyone can be given. You either are the actual Father of the child, or you are the Father in Heaven. A title such as "Master" or "Father" is strictly prohibited. *** Same thing with Luke 16:24, this is referring to the actual Father of the Nations in Abraham, not a title but his literal status over Israel...
@@realjosephanthonyit’s ironic that you speak of cherry-picking, given your position. Christ rebuked the Pharisees for being filled with pride and desiring to be lauded “teacher”, “father”, and “master” while being hypocritical “white-washed tombs”. Similar to His example of Pharisees blowing a trumpet before alms giving, the the Pharisees sought (and received) their reward from man instead of God, forfeiting reward from God. Christ spent the entirety of Matthew 23 on this idea… The reality of the Orthodox priest is the opposite.. The Orthodox priest accepts the same charge Christ gave to St. Peter in John 21:15-17… To humbly shepherd Christ’s flock in a local area with the same love of Christ, caring for the parishioners like a father would his own son… St. Paul is a great example of this humility in the role of a spiritual father. His love for the Church spills over many times over as you read his epistles… The passage below further elucidates this. May God bless you and soften your heart. ☦️ 1 Corinthians 4:14-17 14 I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you. 15 For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. 16 Therefore I urge you, imitate me. 17 For this reason I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful son in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church.
@@WaWaWes_TheRedeemed am I wrong in saying that Catholics do not see Jesus as the son of God and our Lord? And therefore “we” (whatever denomination you are and Catholics) are not actually United in this respect?
@macemaster Be careful with word if you know what orthodoxy means. Tradition is one of the pillars of the Church. God be with you my eastern brother, from a catholic.
My 10 month old son and I went to adore the heart of Jesus Christ while in Holy Adoration yesterday. I'm not so much climbing up the mountain of saints but out of the valley of sinners. St John pray for my heart.
I prayed to jesus christ while I was almost overdosing a long time ago, and i receivd very bright light and felt very warm while my surrounding was complete darkness and mid winter cold
It stills seems like false hope and consistent lies. Until I see the lord I will never put faith into something that is not evidently existence. Do not condemn those with no spirituality for you have failed to present the proper evidence behind such miracle's. If the world really is going to end like these religious zealots are saying, it will not be our fault for not seeing the lord before judgement has come. It will be his fault and collectively all of religions fault's as well.
@@zekechum1969 God gives us the choice to Take up our Cross or not. Doesn't mean he hates us. God desires not the Death of the Sinner according to Scripture. Sounds like your only interaction with Christ is unfortunately through the false christ of Calvinism.
@zekechum1969 something can't come from nothing. You are also demanding that God stoop to your level as if he's your toy and or equal. Perhaps ask yourself if you truly want to humble yourself before God and meet him, or you just want to lord over the Lord by being thr one to dictate terms and conditions. I would know
@@damnmexican90how is man trying to interpret god *not* dictating terms and conditions. If you are truly spiritual you should have no man made religious ties.
@@palestalemale8831 1. read my response to the dude in question. He literally said he would not believe in God until God bent to his will and appeared before him ON HIS TERMS, NOT GODS. God speaks to you as he pleases, its on you if you want to listen or not. 2. what is spiritual? Because this is reading to me in the following ways 2a. i'm not religious i'm "spiritual", which is a modernist new age heresy 2b. Man made religious ties, is another oxymoron. Are you Christian? Do you read the bible? Because if you do, you are either historically illiterate (which is fine, i do recommend reading up on actual church history), or a hypocrite that picks and chooses as he pleases, which makes you a spiritual fornicator friend.
This is brilliant. Starting my morning off right by watching this instead of checking social media. I was born and raised Catholic but when I became a teenager I became confused and thought everything I was taught was a lie. It wasn’t until my grandma died in Dec of 2022 after I received the Eucharist at her funeral that I felt like I was ready to talk to God again. Even then, I was hurt and confused, asking why did he take my grandma before I even had a chance to say goodbye? I started watching videos about Christ, praying more, eventually downloaded the Bible app, and now I have a copy of the New Testament which I got for free. I feel a lot more close to Christ and everyday I want to know him more.
as a person who's heard demons before you are 100% right and i felt the same when i actually experienced one speaking to me. (If you're wondering how it went basically , suddenly my sister went out of the room and went to my parent's room and i told her to keep the door open but she didn't listen and soon after I felt a horrible sense of dread whenever I looked at the door , I heard footsteps down the coridoor so I quickly turned around to the wall and covered myself with my blanket after a few seconds I heard the DEEPEST. DEEPEST. DEEEPEST voice EVER in my life on my sister's bed near the window as if it was standing up and it was speaking in some reversed language which for 1 word sounded like polish (i am polish so maybe it was speaking to me in reversed polish) but i also feel like it was speaking some ancient language like hebrew? i remember i was literally sweating so badly and i was literally crying from fear. i've had several experiences with demons in the past and it's horrible all the time , I just wonder what I would've seen if I uncovered my blanket. this was when I was becoming more of a better christian btw))
The profundity within your work touches the soul, softens the heart, and gently guides one back onto the narrow path. May the good Lord bless you all the days of your life.
I recently converted to Orthodoxy (Coptic) and its the most beautiful and traditional church I've seen.. I've had one Devine intervention and I cried and cried.. my heart aches for our Lord Jesus Christ and through him - I try to seek Truth. The truth of his love and the truth of what it means to follow him. I funny enough converted because of your Last Rebelion video, and your Exorsism in Alaska one and I'm glad I did. I've never been like this and I like to call it 'Jesus Fevor' my hearts never been so joyful through what might be tough times ahead. Thank you Harmony. You've shown me the way to truth through your videos and it saved me.
@@mariorizkallah5383 "The Coptic Orthodox Church, also known as the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria, is an Oriental Orthodox Christian church based in Egypt, serving Africa and the Middle East" The church is Orthodox you might be thinking of something else friend but it's not what you're saying.
@@Bombasticpi6xqThe Orthodox Church is what is usually termed the Eastern Orthodox Church. The Orientals deny the 4th ecumenical council and onward and profess a heretical Christology.
@@christochristovlebg4382 there are many videos out there about his scan attempt. Essentially, he was in heaps of debt and scammed his fans by alluding to a coming regression in content quality on his channel if they didn’t buy enough “shares” in his RU-vid channel. Everyone saw through it immediately and he lost his role as the lead of that channel. And his reputation is absolute dog water right now
Several years ago I lived in San Francisco with my wife (then girlfriend). We'd catch the bus downtown at a bus stop right across the street from the Holy Virgin cathedral in San Francisco. We were protestant at the time, so we didn't know orthodoxy existed and thought "that must be some kind of Russian catholic church." Several years later and we move to Oregon so we can start a family. I start looking into church history and find a nearby orthodox church. It's called St. John the Wonderworker and I later learned that it was named after St. John Maximovich, who help them start the little parish in the 80s. I like to think St. John saw my wife and I sitting across the street, waiting for our bus, and marveling at the Golden spires of his church, and helping to guide us to orthodoxy.
@@Your_Daily_Scroll There is one church, the body of Christ. Catholic or Protestant, I believe we are both apart of that body. but LDS no. that's is a pure perversion of the entire word of God
During a time of turmoil, the life of St. John, the testimony of the Apostles, and the words of Blessed Fr. Seraphim Rose, brings much needed peace in my faith. Thank you for making this video.
The temptation to be and act like more than you are? The temptation of worldly knowledge? Or are you talking about the temptation to disobey authority?
You described my life journey. I've been in many places (states) noted in this video. I had rejected the simplicity of the message of Christ, looking for 'more' or 'power'. I journeyed for many years, picking up lots of deceit and baggage. By God's grace and mercy, He brought me back to the simplicity of the message of Christ. And the more of His message I accept, the more burdens and worries fall off me.
Please don’t stop these videos, I’ve just been introduced to orthodoxy and I believe not by happen stance as I was instructed in my agnostic ways to ask Jesus to reveal himself to me. I did so and a guy I call friend now introduced orthodoxy to me. I have no idea how to go bout joining a orthodoxy church in Nashville TN but I pray god show me where I can start my journey.
I was blessed to be converted in the Hawaii Myyhr strwam icon church of the Theotokos by Father Nectari! I will definitely have to check out the mini documentary after finding your channel!
I've watched this before, sent it to people, but it remains beautiful. Most certainly one of my favorites episodes. Please, if you are lead, I'd love to see an episode about The Desert Fathers
I am a Hindu and I feel a deep reverence for Eastern Christianity. The saint's stories are full of miracles and true feelings of devotion, which is very much like the stories of Hindu saints that I have been hearing since I was a kid. Miracles do occur when the feeling is pure and devotional. Hail Mary! 🙏🏻🛐
My plane got delayed in San Francisco a couple weekends ago and we had to stay over night until the next flight. St. John is my saint and I had never venerated his relics before, so I was thrilled. We got in a lyft and made it just in time for Saturday evening vespers. After the service, I was able to venerate the relics of the saint, I believe, brought me to orthodoxy.
What an absolute gift to come across this channel!❤ Glory to God for your attention to beauty and craftsmanship. This was deeply moving to me-and I suspect many others.

This channel is magnificent. Highly educational. Intuitive. I appreciate the unbiased perspective on the religious front! This is now one of my favorite channels on RU-vid. Thank you for your splendid work!
Hey man this is truly beautiful, I started watching your videos the past two weeks and has been very fruitful for my prayer life. I’m a Roman Catholic and see the beauty of Orthodox Christianity and pray that God willing I live to see the day that we reunite. God bless you and your ministry!
I shared this video on my instagram story,may Lord bless this channel. I currently don't attend church beacuse i dont agree with Catholics and there is no orthodox church near me
Both the Catholic Church and Orthodox Church are the valid church established by Christ. I would recommend opening your heart to both of these churches.
You are correct to seek the Orthodox faith, as it is the true faith. Look up the nearest Orthodox church to you and email the priest to begin. Do not listen to ecumenist heresy like the comment above. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism (Ephesians 4:5), one Gospel and NO other, not made by man, but given to the apostles through the revelation of Jesus Christ, delivered ONCE AND FOR ALL unto the saints. (Jude 1:3) The Roman Papist’s innovations of Absolute Divine Simplicity and the Filioque render that entire system entirely irreconcilable with the Orthodox faith unless they renounce these things. Read the Cappadocian fathers whose theology was approved at the first Council of Constantinople in 381. The Church rightly defended the Divinity of the Holy Spirit and taught Essence-Energy Distinction. God bless you. ☦️
@@figeonChrist established One Church. There is one true Church, reas the creed. There cannot be two truths which contradict each other. One is either true and the other is false. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. Come back to Orthodoxy

Your content is truly unique and a blessing for those who stumble upon it, I do think you managed to fulfill the task of honoring God with your gifts, so take care and continue the good work.

Behind every genuine follower if Christ, is the common denominator of love, grace, and understanding. By extending our arms and giving to others what God has given to us, the glory of God will shine and others will see the beauty in His love.
Sheer excellence! Much appreciation to the harmony team for the very hard work done on these productions. The petty fees asked for subscription im sure could be afforded by most. I spend dbl the amount daily to sustain my discusting cigarette habit. Harmony requires and well deserves every single penny in order they keep on delivering. End of day, the monies are only going back to the Giver God Allmighty. ❤
This is wonderful! Especially the section on St. John of San Francisco. I have the great honour to have him as my patron Saint. Over the years, he has been a faithful helper and intercessor. I am not worthy of hid intercession, so it must be love and kindness.
Sir your videos are pure Kino and a big part of why I finally went and visited a Parish. Glory be to God in all things and please pray that I become what God has always meant for me to be.
I have no words to describe the excellence of this work here. Seriously, this must has been the best thing i ever watched in my whole life. Everything about this piece is perfect. The script, the edition, narrator's voice probably has the best "reading", diccion i have ever listened to. Narrator's voice speaks a lot like someone like me experience religion, most of us all are just nihilists and modernists that are seeking religion and fortunately or unfortunately already has some kind of scientifical and modern approach to it, so therefore, some level of skepticism and focus on results. The way you guys crossover modern and ancient, counter culture and orthodox religion, mans deep search for meaning and everyday life is something i have never seen anywhere. I will be in touch with everything you do. Thank you so much, greetings from Brazil. Hope to see more from you
Well put. I find my biggest stumbling block is this constant skepticism I don't want and can't get rid of, always looking for the cynical truth, doubting, expecting liars and charlatans. I wish I could be like some people and just accept it . But maybe it's not that easy for anyone, maybe you have to learn to do it.
Hey Harmony! Thanks for the video, it's amazing as always. I would like to show it to my mom but she's not very good at understanding english. Have you considered creating a spanish channel? I would love it and could even help with translation for free.
Wow! What an amazing job putting this together! The edits alone are second to none and they're not even the best part of the video. Thank you for putting this out.
Really really loved this, super beautifully done, and inspiring to me as a follower of Christ and a filmmaker :p Thanks for your sincere and hardworking attitude to spreading the love of Christ! May we all love Him more!
Glad to see that you're still around! It's so cool to see that you've stuck with it and were able to make the real content that mattered. Keep up the good work! :D
Really beautiful work. I loved it, saved it, and shared it with many. Glory to God. God bless you. Blessed Fr Seraphim Rose and St John Maximovich pray for us!
I’m a Christian and I don’t want to be a lifeless one, I constantly desire seeking depth and truth in my faith. One thing that lately have been on my mind and thought about after having some conversations with my brother that is not a Christian, but is into new age, is the idea that God can be found by all who seek him and are lovers of truth and God is found outside of religion. Meaning even Jesus was a mystic and mystics are found in every religion and are people that seek God truly and can reach the true source. I know in this video and the Idea of mysticism is present in orthodox Christianity, but does that mean that Christ is the only way? Because from what I hear mystics think that people can reach God from any Ideology or religion if he does the appropriate things. I’d appreciate your opinions, because there is not much about this topic on the internet.
"mystics" is a very modern western idea In the world by mystics you mean either occult, witchcraft or magic Scriptures are one of the most (if not the most) preserved and widespread texts from that era, oldest preserved full text is a 20 years old copy of one of Gospels (20 years after it was originally written. For example oldest copy of Aristotle's works is written 1500 years after Aristotle (~1000AD) I'm saying that Christ was a real historic person based on Bible archeology only, then there are hundreds or thousands of mentions or works based on that (Church related works) from 2000-1900 years ago, including writings of disciples of Apostles Any prayerful sincere person can "contact" God, but those different religions or mystics as you said you can judge wherever they find same God: Do they follow same truth? It's different spirit, humility and worldliness or worldly ideas are good indicative of wherever it's Spirit of Christ or some another kind of spirit It leads to Truth while having humility or goes to your pride. I have not seen truly prideless non-Christian, Christians have pride too but it's something they fight, other say it too but somehow it's still worldly... God is with the contrite heart, and it's real
You can’t ignore the fact that our Lord claimed to be The Only Way, John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” He Just Made A Truth claim, it’s up to you. If you’re going to believe him
I'm very worried after hearing the story of Nikita the Recluse, I share far too many similarities, perhaps a mix of pride and weak faith is to blame. Pray for me.
I was try to answer the ? Before the story ended , i thought like my exp. in life learned in bad Decisions ,still i make bad decisions, than i thought i help people, but than i dont help everyone, than well i stop drinking , still i wasnt free from me my worse , than i married rise my son ,still the up n downs were Constant ,barly Survive , Than your story ended the answer all the Trauma i put myself through , the only answer that got here i didnt even think of , thanks for Reminding me ❤
