@Ooweeeooo Месяц назад

@@Volleyball_Chess_and_Geoguessr In addition, it is not right to see myself as a righteous person. Jesus said he didn’t come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Think about people who see themselves as righteous, they usually are not. Therefore I should not justify myself as a good person, but be humble before others and God. That is what Jesus wants and it’s also what leads to me acting more loving towards other people. If I see myself as better than other people, it leads to lots of toxic and sinful thoughts and behavior.

@@Volleyball_Chess_and_Geoguessr I have no idea what another person believes or if God will have mercy on them. I hope that he has mercy on everyone, and does not condemn anyone else on account of me, a sinner. I have faith in God’s love and justice, and I want to help His will be done. I have no right to judge others at all, that is His place.

@@Volleyball_Chess_and_Geoguessr Saying that you are a sinner just means that you are fallible. Everyone, even non-Christians, accept that they are fallible, and thus, sinners.

We have gifts in spirit with which we can access, only through spirit. By communions. Like how one throws emotion, in soundeds. Spirit moves in will. Canfidance. Faith. We feel and act upon movements within Spirit, merkaba, seas and tides of energy between us. The evil, use all gifts to bring down our kingdom. I use all gifts to build. To speak good word. To those I hold in fondness to my being. You know when dem homeless bums suddenly tell you, "Hey man, you deaf?" We wuz talkin' U prolly even recognized You just aren't honed Such is life.

I love that the Lord is so merciful and gracious. If any of this causes us to fear, we have not been perfected in Love. Understand that repentance is your very life. You do not do it alone, but through the power of God! Do not be discouraged. This is not about God rejecting you and condemning you because you struggle. We all struggle. It’s about getting back up again and going to the very ONE who can help you. Don’t run away from God. Run to Him! Ask for help ❤ He deeply loves you. Be careful, Christian’s, not to be run by fear, but Love .

@micahwise4212 Месяц назад

Sermons like this always make me so grateful for the blessing of Christ. The fact that God knows we cannot measure up and all throughout history have let him down over and over and still through faith in our lord Jesus Christ we are given the chance at salvation. That concept is the source of my joy. The strength in my sorrow. We should all be grateful that we are saved by grace or we would all be found unworthy despite how “holy” we may feel at times.

We Eastern Orthodox need to hear this, above I myself need to hear this and contemplate it. The present conflicts, strife, major schisms and our biggest Patriarchate's acts of condoning war in the name of 'Holy Rus' are disgusting to behold. Blessing weapons who will used to combat another traditional Orthodox land is a disaster. So sad that the Orthodox keep so quiet about what is happening in our own ranks is heartbreaking. We are so wary of admitting our lack of unity. The leader of the largest Orthodox church supports war and yet we can't admit it. Speak out Father, we know that's one of the reasons you made this video. Don't be afraid to admit we have serious issue in Eastern Orthodoxy.

@tee.m7216 Месяц назад

I’m just a little confused, when you mentioned that our prayers to God are worthless when we repeatedly fall into sin, should we not be praying to him for forgiveness? Will he refuse to hear our prayers for mercy and forgiveness? What should we be doing because sinning is unavoidable.

No you keep struggling till God bless you and the struggle stops.

@Wowzers740 11 дней назад

Why come prepared to argue, when you have no understanding of what it is you want to argue about? There are many, *countless* even, former Protestants that become Orthodox after giving a thorough and unvarnished examination of Scripture, history, and theology of the Church given to His apostles to teach. Too many Protestant arguments are prepared against imaginary straw man points of contention, or the assumption that Orthodox are “just Roman Catholics.” It’s good you felt it wasn’t needed after listening to the truth.
