One of the problems with these institutions is they're not biblical on so many levels!!! Here's the one that got me out of these churches: Matthew 23:9 KJV - And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

Why did i read this as the Chinese church hhhhhh😂 for a moment there i thought the ccp was cool with the worship of anything other than the communist party

God save us all from Remphan the Antichrist and the Mark of the Beast 🔯✡️🇮🇱 666. Yeshua Hamashiach is come in the flesh.

*But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.* *Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.* *But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.* *And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted*

*Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.*

Galatians 4:26 *But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.*

So you dishonor one of the greatest evangelists in the world?

According to an orthodox individual I know it evangelises by blessing inanimate objects like lakes. According to an orthodox priest I know as a friend they evangelise by hanging pretty pictures (icons) in their buildings. According to an orthodox woman I know they evangelise by worshipping Mary.

Please consider continuing the Korean religion lectures.

Orthodoxy has been very introverted and very ethnic, not interested in people outside its group, not interested in conversions, plus it is culturally alien to the Western European ethos which founded America.

Great

Unfortunately I have never met an Orthodox whom never even mentions the name of Christ outside the Priests at Church, At work or streets etc... Only met one who was Russian Orthodox who was angry and a know it all.

Rome split from the church? I thought it was the other way around?

Americans dont care about history. Orthodox dont minister.

I help lead a Protestant Church in England. We would love to see Orthodoxy in the UK. Catholicism and Anglicanism are present. Please plant Orthodoxy churches in the UK for the glory of God.

Eastern or oriental?

I believe the answer is more simple than you think, language is the answer. Orthodox is an Eastern religion, or you could say Eastern European. The gap is the language, The Orthodox people didn't learn English and the English speakers aren't willing to learn their various languages because they have nothing in common with people who keep to themselves and stay within their community.

As a Catholic, I thank you for doing these. God bless you father.

Thanks for the forecast! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

Such a passive way to evangelize

can you pray for me Father my name is Hector

I don't know a lot about it but I get the sense of a sort of quiet solemn beauty in the orthodox church tradition that I really appreciate

I have NEVER had an Orthodox christian TELL me about the Lord. At the time MOST churches-- Ana-baptist, Baptist ( Primitive, Reformed, Southern, etc.), "Bible" churches, Church of Christ, Church of England, Disc. of Christ, "Evangelicals", Full Gospel, Huganots, Inter-denominational, JWs, Lutheran, Mennonites, conservative Methodists, liberal Methodists, Mormons ( LDS, RLDS, FLDS, PLDS, Temple Lot), Nazarenes, Orthodox Presbyterians, Pentecostal-ism, Puritans, Quakers, Reformed, Salvation Army, TBN-style Charismatics, Unity, Waldensians, --SAY they are from the 12 Apostle, but they do NOT have the history to prove it.

thank you for the video

It could be if you broadcast mass online. It's difficult to find.

잘보고갑니다

They don't. They're just a VERY private, exclusive club.

Great video

I'm not loyal to a denomination because the believing thief who died next to Jesus wasn't. Jesus paid it all and that's enough for me. Greetings from Trinity Bible Church in Phoenix.

Living through example is a premium quality form of evangelization. Preaching or sharing one's testimony is not foreign to Orthodoxy sonce Scripture and the early Church did it. Their pious examples (martyrdom and holy lives) were also filled through preaching, teaching and sharing testimonies be it personal or of the Saints!

I think Icons are also a great "evangelization" tool There is something inherently captivating of the icon imagery that draws you in

I enjoyed this. Hope more will be posted.

@thomasjones7115 Properly understanding the PURPOSE OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH is vital. Which you’ve summarized quite aptly with regards to avoiding sin. However, that’s only one part. And “Doing your own thing” isn’t the way Christianity works. Christians are commissioned to both individual AND corporate responsibility. The East needs more corporate effort. Corporate efforts is a real strength in the Western Church,.

What missionary work is the Church doing today?

주 예수 그리스도 하느님의 아들이시여 저를 불쌍히 여기소서

Thank you, Father. May our lives be a reflection of Christ's life, and may the Holy Spirit bear witness through us that the whole world may see the love of Christ in us, despite the circumstances of the world around us.

Father, I want to find a good Orthodox church to go to. Where can I find one to attend in the Sacramento area?

I didn't even know the orthodox church was a thing until last year

Indeed. I appreciate your words. However, worldly dress, i.e., shorts on women & girls or very short dresses in Church (i.e. females totally ignorant of modesty), festivals for fund raisers (rather than tithes & offerings), career women & working mothers sending their Children to daycare & public schools, couples not having or postponing having Children are some things the Church should address for the well being of families and the Children growing up today, as well as more unity. I have Children and Grandchildren, and so many O Christians embrace the world's mindset on these matters, including Priests, Deacons, and their wives. How can one raise their family to follow holiness, when almost everyone else is worldly, at least they look, dress and seem to behave worldly? I pray about this every day, for the sake of the Children. Look at the state of society they're faced with! They need to learn to walk with God -- we all do. I look for someone somewhere to address this, if it is possible. Can't help but saying it would be nice to see a Church Council (an Ecumenical Council (?) ) for a Church standard for Christian modesty and holiness in and out of Church. If we are expected to be modest at monasteries (which has been my experience), why isn't it expected or taught for our every day conduct, and in Church? -- Forgive me, a sinner.

There are Greeks and Russians in Africa right now and they have a really great success. The thing is, Orthodoxy is getting bigger in the west, USA especially, without real effort to evangelize, Americans are searching for the true faith and they are coming to Orthodoxy on their own.

The Orthodox Church evangelizes by living through its teachings, the Saints, the martyrs, the church, and, most importantly, Christ. We not only living it, we believe it, and it envelops us as individuals, families, and communities. Anyone can go on a street corner and scream they believe in Jesus Christ, drop some Bible verses, argue, and aggressively pray over people trying to convince them that Christianity and their way of Christianity is the right way to live. SMH. The Orthodox Church doesn't do that; unlike the Catholics who forced Christianity on people or the Protestants who argue and belittle you until you follow them, the Orthodox refrains from this kind of evangelism. If you genuinely want to be part of the oldest Christian church with teachings passed down by the apostles and genuine faith that hasn't changed in 2000 years, you must pick up your cross and follow. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow me." Matthew 16:24.

Tbh it hardly does at all compared to the Catholic Church.

Thank you Abouna ☦️my Father I love you

So what is the Gospel? Not what it means etymologically, but what does the Gospel proclaim?

God bless us, greeting from Poland...♥️🙂☦️
