Will Any Pious Roman Catholic or Protestant Be Saved? 

TONIGHT: All Religions Are Paths to God? - Orthodox Response to Pope Francis, Trent Horn & Taylor Marshall 4pm PST / 7pm EST ru-vid.comP-lXSKuhuk0

I'm retired at 47, went from Grass to Grace. This video here reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, honest husband, $35k biweekly and a good daughter full of love ❤️

No man knows who will be saved. Only God knows.

The Lord shows compassion to the honest ignorant, but not the willfully ignorant. The Lord makes such a judgement.

It's a fearful hope and wonder that God's Justice is perfect.

"When Abba Anthony thought about the depths of the judgments of God, he asked, 'Lord, how is it that some die when they are young, while others drag on to extreme old age? Why are there those who are poor and those who are rich? Why do wicked men prosper and why are the just in need?' He heard a voice answering him, 'Antony, keep your attention on yourself; these things are according to the judgment of God, and it is not to your advantage to know anything about them."

What happened to the greatest ascetics who secluded themselves like St Anthony, but presumably never partook in communion, never confessed, and never attended church services? How did they become so holy apart from the mysteries if the mysteries are our path to salvation?

There will be many Catholics and Protestants in heaven, no doubt.

The main differences between Orthodox Christianity and Roman Catholicism. the main things which keep our religions separate are: Papal Supremacy, Papal Infallibility, The Filioque, Absolute Divine Simplicity, Created Grace Doctrine, natural theology, scholasticism, Original sin, sacred heart doctrine, Immaculate conception, Purgatory, Merits/Indulgences, evolution of Dogma,imaginative prayer, "beatific vision" etc Then the Forced Celibacy of Priests, The use of Unleavened Bread in the Eucharist, The Adoption and change of the Christian calendar, The use of Renaissance statues, Pews, Child Communion, improper non immersion baptism, Cardinals, and differences in liturgical practices (Alter tables, Iconostasis, priest positioning etc) all of those things, we say the Western Church adopted and innovated and became heretical when they adopted these things. And we say that in the early church NONE of these things existed, there is no evidence of these things. No examples of Papal Infallibility, No examples of merits/indulgences, and no examples of unleavened wafer bread, and such. In fact in the west, In Rome. It looked a lot similar to how we Orthodox exist today. Our priests can get married, we use Icons and not statues, we use the old calendar etc Orthodoxy Vs Roman Catholicism: Energy Essence Distinction vs Absolute Divine Simplicity Ancestral Sin vs Original Sin Non Filioque Trinity vs Filioque Trinity Patriarchy vs Papacy Revealed Theology vs Natural Theology Hesychasm Vs Scholasticism Theosis vs Sanctification Married Priest vs Celibate Priests Infant Communion Vs Non Infant Communion Iconography vs Statues Full Immersion Baptism vs Sprinkle Baptism One Baptism vs Confirmation Baptism Leavened Communion Bread vs Unleavened Communion bread Julian Calendar vs Pope Gregory's Calendar We are not the same Religion, we do not have the same faith, and anyone who looks into either religions genuinely will see how different we are.

The greater misfortune is how terrible Orthodox Christians present themselves to non-believers (myself included). Why would people want to join when all they see are cultural clubs (why I ended up at an OCA parish, they were the only ones to welcome me without constantly asking why I was there if I wasn’t a certain ethnic background) , freemasonry in some, lack of living out the faith in person at work and school, high divorce rates that the whole communities air out to the whole world for the sake of pity for one party, and the EP celebrating with non-Orthodox? It’s small things like this video that at least show the world there are more components to Orthodoxy than what’s perceived at times.

Well kind of concerning hearing this as a Catholic. I pray for all my Separated brethren and sisters

It is not about what religion a person is brought up in Its about dying in God's grace and friendship to be saved,

A relationship with jesus saves no matter what denomination, but of course the catholic and orthodox church has the fullness of the truth at hand so of course the more you know the more you act on that knowledge the deeper the relationship and the more christ will fill you with grace. Give up your earthly life and you shall receive 100 fold matthew 19:29

I’ve always wondered…can it possibly be true that millions of Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, etc. be eternally damned if it’s never even crossed their minds to explore Christianity or feel the need break with their culture since their lives are already meaningful? Unless prompted by some outside force or set of circumstances, some external or internal cause, why would they (how would they know to?) break with everything they believe to be true. ☦️

Revelation 7:9 - After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

Thank you!! Good explanation! Needed this.

Great video !

and deliver us from evil

Sounds like a very legalistic question, more in the lines of how the west thinks.

there cannot be variatione of traditions or confessions or mysteries of Christ. otherwise it would bring people to state of division and confusion. the church fathers, the apostles all proclaimed and made sooid statements and confessions concerning the faith, and the rules and laws that followed to further solidify that. Those who opposed it or rejected it, are shown as examples in the scripturee as those who are walking as enemies of Christ.

this is true. its like saying well here is Noahs ark, but you can build your own ark, and see how you go. Or how many cornerstones do we have to build the church of Christ? is it One, or are there many ? how many Jesus Christ's do you need to lay down as a foundation or cornerstone ? the truth is that there is only One Ark, One Cornerstone. there arent any more ( copies or clones). His word is Truth God has no essence of a lie , distortions or variations within Him. Hes only got One True Spirit. anyone who chooses to reject the teachings of the fathers or avoid or try to distort the canons of our Church are simply walking into the path of darkness and are alienating themselves from Christ Himself.

The Lord himself gave us very few hints how to know where His church is: He promised to never leave His church (therefore it must be a historical one). And: by their fruits you will know. After comparing over a year the life of "saints" from different denominations the most Christ-like and spiritual saints I found within the Orthodox church. Just to look at the contemporary saints one will easily recognize that the Orthodox Church is still very very active and fruitful in producing great saints. If somehow really wants to become holy and struggle with his whole being for that, he will choose the best way to holiness. Also one of the reason why the former famous Roman catholic theologian and hermit Gabriel Bunge converted to Orthodox Church. He said the most spiritual person he met in Orthodox Church was dimensions (!) above the most spiritual person he ever met within the Roman Catholic church.

it's as if they think Jesus said "blessed are the sincere, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven". That isn't it

Every christian will be saved even orthodox ,protestants even though they are not the true church Name of Jesus will save them and the prayers of cstholic

I will never understand why if this is the genuine belief of the orthodox and catholic faiths, that they are hardly involved in mission at all. Why can protestants open 100s of new churches with the heart to see people saved, and yet this church, who believes 90% of Christians are not truly in the faith, can't run a service in a local language? Does a shepherd just let another shepherd walk off with his sheep?

What denomination did the thief on the cross belong to?

I appreciate your answer Fr. Peter. I'm a Traditional Catholic who rejects the Vatican II council, and I seek to preserve the Catholic faith. The Papacy historically settled ecclesiastical matters so that we wouldn't have to argue about them. Orthodoxy cannot settle them because there is no set number of bishops or lay people supporting a particular doctrine that would settle it.

If they're not saved and in communion within the Church, but they repent anyway, do they still go to Hell? It seems like there are two possibilities but the requirements for both possibilities are equally high bars to reach (either completely reject God's love and refuse to repent, or be a faithful Orthodox communicant). What is the understanding for that?

Anybody know the chant name at the end of the video?

So in that case God can condemn the orthodox just for the heck of it. God isnt bound by a book . God isn't bound by saints or church. God is not even bound by his own word.

we are toast

only responding to the title; PIOUS. one definition is "self conscious virtue". no, won't work. but a Jesus focused "child of God" is brought into the "Kingdom of God", and is saved. as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God. that's the truth. roman catholic?? protestant?? what's that??who made that up??

I'll assume no according to the Orthodox

lol. That thumb nail

"John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us." - Luke 9:49-50☦✝🕎

All are saved in the Holy Catholic Church

alot of people say, well at least they believe therefore they are ok where they are ... is this true ? has this been ve4ofied by scripture ? i call upon all those who read the scripture and swear 100% that they declare it as an infallible source for divine guidance. lets give an example in scripture. the followers of John the Baptist. they heard about the coming messiah and they got baptised into baptism of repentance given by John. they were living lives of fasting and repentance. when the time came, the met with the apostles . what happened next, they need to get rebaptised and receive Christ. another instance, the samaritwn woman, who confessed God who tood Christ her forefathers worshipped God here, but Christ gave forejnowledge and truth concerning where salvaton lies. Just these examples show tell us clearly that ones way of truth or knowledge of God, needs to be corrected. Jesus or the apostles, always showed the peoples the right or better way to salvation. Our church , our confession, our dogma, our tradition , which uphold the mysteries have all the essentials needed to guide oned life to grace and theosis

Hmmm...so Mother Theresa won't go to heaven but Gundyaev and Putin will? Heers did an excellent job with this topic.

"are being saved"

I see lots of arguments over religious matters on RU-vid. People saying they are the one true church, everyone else is going to hell, etc. etc. Jesus said "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Notice he didn't say if you belong to a particular church or sect. If you care about what church you belong to more than following Jesus then you aren't any better than the Pharisees of Jesus' day. Choose relationship over religion. Christ didn't sacrifice Himself so that His children can squabble over such insignificant things such as which songs we sing, how often we partake of communion, what kind of bread we eat, or what funny hats we wear. All the while we lose focus of what really matters; spreading the Gospel to a lost and dying world so that others may come to know Jesus and receive Him in their hearts.

Can a good orthobro explain to me why the Orthodox Church decided to break from the papal tradition?

The Bible tells you how to be saved. I don't understand why you guys can't just go based on what the Bible says, without adding to it or putting spin. If this is an official teaching of the EO church, I would never join it or bring my kids into it under any circumstance. If you think the church saves you (doesn't matter which denomination), and that's what you're putting your faith in, then you're not saved. I wouldn't join a church like this, no matter how good the music and architecture is, because then my kids, grandkids, etc., are going to be putting their faith in something other than Jesus, and I would bear the guilt of bringing them into this sort of institution where a false gospel is taught. I really hope this is not the official position of the EO Church, otherwise there are going to be all sorts of congregants who think they are saved because of church membership, and who haven't really been taught how to be saved.
