The Elder entrusted all his material to this convent, which he helped establish, before his repose in 1991. 📖 Full text of "The Orthodox Spirit is the True One" www.oodegr.com/english/oikoumenismos/porphyrios_orthodox_spirit.htm 🎧 Original recording of the conversations included in this podcast: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QkhE7Vs-zQw.htmlsi=WRrr4o81EOY5T-kO

Believe what the Orthodox Bible says about Christ, Heaven and Hell ☦️ The Truth is in Orthodox Christian understanding because God The Holy Spirit is Truthful and all other demonic deceptions are lies.🕊🔥 Thank God for Orthodox Christian heroes of our faith who don't lie in order to appease demonic deceptions in pluralistic philosophers. By The Grace of God the devil is defeated by our God and Savior Jesus Christ ☦️
He has a plan for the non Orthodox. He will show once more that the Orthodox Church is His Church. There will be many converts. Many Muslims and Jews will find Christ. As for the Hindus, apostle Thomas, being the apostle of India, whom himself had to “see” and “touch” Christ, Christ will reveal Himself to them in a same type of manner.
If anyone do vainly teach that Jesus the "Incarnate Word, is fully divine and fully human, in one 'nature' (physis), or to assert that Christ had distinct human and divine persons, or that the the Holy Spirit proceeds eternally from the Father and the Son, not as from two principles but as from one single principle, let them be anathema.
Sound teachings concerning pagan religions, problematic when it concerns Christian denominations. Take Britain, for example. After 1533 A.D. there were two churches in England, neither recognizing the salvific grace of the other, and both denied by the Orthodox. Does that mean no english could be saved? Then we make Christ a liar (Mk. 16:16 "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved"). Note that most souls born on that island in the subsequent centuries would not have known about Orthodoxy, much less seek salvation on Mt. Athos.
You wrote three whole paragraphs without having listened to what the elder says right at the very beginning about those who proffess a different faith or have accepted heresies. Listen again, my friend, all your questions are answered. We do not claim to know Gods mind. Who God saves and does not save is His perogative alone, we can only say what the scripture has revealed to us and what the Holy Spirit has taught through the Apostles "The Orthodox Church is the Truth" Outside if that it's not for us to say. Could a man survive a flood by clinging to a piece of rotten driftwood? Maybe, if God is greatly merciful to him.....Would a man be saved from that flood if he entered the Ark God built? Yes. The Church is the Ark in that analogy and the driftwood those outside.
@@L0wen There is another video on this channel where he calls the Catholic Church, "filth" or something to that effect. Check it out if you want. 😄😄😄😄😄
@@L0wen Or maybe he was referring to the greek ecumenical patriarch who met Bergoglio, the reigning pope. Anyway this sort of thing is not my cup of tea, knock yourself out. 😄😄😄😄😄
Unfortunately, this is the picture that today's Holy Mountain presents. It strives - with crutches the various pseudo-saints such as Paisios and Porphyrios - to keep the faithful in communion with the heresy, and at the same time accusing and persecuting the Zealot fathers, in order to please its master, Bartholomew the Latin-oriented... (Magazine "Agios Agathangelos Esphigmenite" 2004 Issue 212)
Your strawmans are hardly compelling. God has shown forth in many saints that not breaking communion with a bishop yet to be condemned does not deprive one from the grace of God and does not negate one’s confession of faith. Canon 15 doesn’t require one to break communion, it protects the non-commemorator from ecclesiastical punishment and also does not support setting up parallel jurisdictions and some old calendarists have done. The stance of our recent Saints, including St. Joseph the Hesychast and his disciples, has shown itself to be blessed and bears fruit.
Your logic is to be a non commemorator in perpetuity until there is an ecumenical council (not local council) condemning the bishop. When is this council supposed to happen? I am genuinely curious how long fighters from within plan to be walled off and claim true Orthodox are "schismatic" for organizing into a synod. Didn't ROCOR do that exact thing by organizing into a synod? Can you post the canon against "setting up of parallel jurisdictions"?
@jonathanbritt6418 the prophesied Council will come. Your questions were undoubtedly asked with St. Maximus died. The twenty years between his death and the 6th Council was surely a great challenge to the faith of his supporters. But God brought about the Council and defeated the heresy in the proper way. We also should have faith. The prophesied war is probably on the precipice and the prophesied Council will come soon after. The saddest thing about those who flee and set up parallel jurisdictions is that it doesn’t actually help heal the wounds. Fighting from within offers much more to the Church than breaking communion altogether.
@@OrthodoxWisdom I don't think it's sad to leave communion with heretical bodies, I am an Orthodox Christian and fleeing heresy is not something to denigrate me for, it's a brave thing to do. Please tell me your thoughts on the below quotes: "We pray that God will grant peace to his small flock, and that small differences of opinion will not destroy the unity of all who should be fighting against the real apostasy of our times-that represented by the frightful "Eighth Ecumenical Council," which seems to be drawing closer. In a way, we welcome this robber-council, for it will perhaps be so obviously anti-Orthodox that some will see it and withdraw from that ruinous path. That is another reason for the True Orthodox Christians to be not fanatical but moderate, holding a path of true Orthodoxy and not sectarianism in the face of such temptations."- Hieromonk Seraphim (Rose) of Platina † "Once N. Pavlovich asked the Elder, "Is it possible to hope for the unification of the churches?" He replied, "No! Only an Ecumenical Council could do that, but there will be no more councils. There have been seven councils, like the seven sacraments and the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. For our age, the number of fullness is the number seven. Eight is the number of the future age. Only separate people will be united to our Church." Elder Nektary of Optina
@@OrthodoxWisdom A couple more quotes for you: “This is the spirit of redemption, rejection of the spirit of Christ and merging with this world, lying in evil, which poured out in Russia in the very first years of Bolshevism into the movement of the so-called "living churchmen" and "renovationists," then immediately spread to other Orthodox local churches, under the leadership of the Ecumenical Patriarchs of Constantinople, who set themselves the task of convening the Eighth Ecumenical Council with the aim of reforming the Orthodox Church.”- Archbishop Averky So basically every spiritual giant that came before us is telling us to run as fast as we can from the 8th council, and the fighters from within look forward to it with open arms? Sounds like they are prey to Antichrist's church to me.
