I love your set of lectures on The Beatitudes, Father! I bought it for my dear wife 6 years ago as an Easter present. And I love you so deeply for living them - specifically, "Blessed Are the Peacemakers" - in this loving reflection! That's why we converted to Holy Orthodoxy over a decade ago! We continue to keep you in our prayers. May our Savior bring you consolation now and always. I will send you the poem the great Theotokas inspired me to compose long ago on the matter of loss. Thank you so much for all you do to nourish my faith!!!
@Patristic Nectar Films God bless you, Fr. Josiah. My cousin is Roman Catholic, and I woke up to watching a movie about St. Augustine- Latin Church Father.
The common people (and clergy) who rejected the Popes heresy - tells me that they knew their faith well and would not stand for deviation from a heretic or a Pope. Now that is devotion to Christ!!
What about when priest, Fr. Matei Vulcanescu was deposed for ceasing commemoration of bishop Silouan and patriarch John X for being ecuminists? He's a clergymen defending the faith and got deposed for it. Fr. Josiah Trenham reads about Pope Eugene about this that laypeople and clergy must stand up for the faith. Fr. Matei got deposed. When will all the priests take action and defend the faith and back Fr. Matei. Where's the brotherhood at?
When a sick man walks into the hospital, does he care about the sickness of other people or he is all up to his own problem and focusing on how to get out of the trouble he is in.?
Britain requesting representatives in the faith from Rome is also mentioned in detail in the History of the Kings of Britain which goes back to the founder of the Brits, Brutus.
Our saint Clement of Ohrid who invented the Cyrillic alphabet as a simplified version of the glagolitic sript developed by sts Cyril and Methodius was named after st. Clement pope of Rome.
@@FirstnameLastname-py3bc Sts Cyril and Methodius developed the glagolitic script (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glagolitic_script). Later on it was their student Saint Clement of Ohrid who simplified it to the form we know and use as the Cyrilic. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_script. It was named in honour of their teacher St. Cyril.
@@FirstnameLastname-py3bc Glagolitic was the original script developed by Sts Cyril and Methodius. Cyrillic was more or less a "simplified" form of Glagolitic (used the same phonemes, adapted some of the characters, but was a lot easier for scribes) that was developed by disciples of theirs
What happens when passing succession laying hands on someone who for example bought for money his succession, or emperor puts someone who is unworthy for example? Does Holy spirit proceeds to does persons, and succession is valid?
The 1st church was the Pentecostal Church ( day of Pentecost ) The 120 all spoke in tongues. Which included all 12 apostles. Also Mother Mary and latter apostle Paul, who said " I speak in tongues more than you all "
How is there a "most important" part of baptism, its a single set of actions, where if changed (outside of very rare individual exceptions made by the church) is no longer a baptism.
You know, maybe we think too much about sex and cheating in games. There's two aspects. There's the story "drobul de sare" and there's the misconception that if someone's playing games, they are necessarily following rules. They follow patterns, not rules. :))
Eh I don't think I have ever met a bishop of any legit denomination who seriously considers himself beneath his sheep. In fact, despite the present Roman Pontiff taking the humble title of "servant of the servants of God" as all his predecessors, he has but made life a living hell for those priests and bishops who adhere to holy traditions. I kept saying, it's not _your_ church, Bergoglio.
It is common in Orthodox Liturgy for a Bishop and/or priest to turn over to face flock and bow before them several times during the course of the service.
@@johnnyd2383 Well, let me offer one well-known example: the popes. Roman pontiffs have dutifully kept the tradition of the washing of feet during Holy Week - a sign of humility; but the successors of the See of Rome also persist in proclaiming papal supremacy. Now if you're an Orthodox Christian, do you need God to tell you how they feel? 😄
Pope Francis' sound spiritual advice and orthodox teachings are to be praised as well as his grand gestures of humility. His Machiavellian doublespeak that has sown confusion and division are not NOR his dictatorial arrogance in the shabby treatment of the holy cardinals who have dared to warn him of the irresponsibility of his imprudent and ambiguous words.
@@johnnyd2383 I believe the Orthodox church accepted the primacy of the church of Rome. The issue was with more transparency and discussion before making major changes to doctrines.
@@therighteousrighthand Primacy in honor only. We Orthodox apply the same principle even today. Our Patriarchs do not have any jurisdiction outside of their own Eparchies, can't ordain new Bishops (3 Bishops are needed), can't depose any Bishops (Council of the Autocephalous church can), have to ask permission from presiding Bishop if wants to visit Eparchy that is not his own, etc. When all Bishops gather together around the food table, Patriarch get the soup first though.... That is pretty much it.
@@johnnyd2383 I find this all very unscriptural. The Bible does have references to councils but this spilt over fillioque etc has more to do with ego and power struggle. These doctrines have caused more divisions and not led to the unity Christ desires.
@@therighteousrighthand If you are aware of Council of the Apostles then you are aware of them discussing and deciding in a conciliar way w/o anyone of them having "more rights" or "more votes" over others. About ego... if that is your opinion that is fine. Topic is far more complex than you think... it started in 5h century with the theology of Augustine of Hippo and it only culminated in 11th century. Are you saying that ego did it.? If so, ego of whom within those 6 centuries of Roman see drifting away slowly... ?
