Holy Ground - St. Catherine's Monastery on Mt. Sinai with Fr. Justin Sinaites

We visit St. Catherine's Monastery on Mt. Sinai where we interview and are given a tour by Fr. Justin Sinaites, the librarian of the monastery. This holy ground can be seen as the embodiment of the revelation of God to men. From Moses, to Elijah, to Holy Fathers such as St. John Climacus, we continue to experience the living God at Mt. Sinai until this very day.
Opening music: • Taksim arghoul

Thank you ☦️ Do you know how long father Justin has been there st St Catherine's my brother John was there a helper between 85 and 86 he was very young at the time wanted to become a monastic but left the monastery. He always regretted not staying to become a monk he passed away at 53 in 2021 but he never spoke about his monastic journey. I would like to visit the holy places he went . I wonder if father Justin new my brother he was intelligent and struggled with the passions ☦️ I would ask father if he could have a pannikihida in his name that would help him ☦️ God Bless my brother in Christ ☦️☦️☦️

Your brother must have known Fr. Pavlos, who was one of the elders at St Catherine at that time, and who passed to the Lord a few years ago. I went twice in the 90's and never met Fr. Justin. He came later to the monastery from America. Memory eternal to your brother's soul.... 🙏☦

Just like biblical and historical evidence proves that jesus and his apostles were vegatarians biblical and historical evidence also proves that the trinity, atonement, original sin and hell are very late misinterpretations and are not supported by the early creed hence its not a part of Christianity I pray that Allah swt revives Christianity both inside and out preserves and protects it and makes its massage be witnessed by all people but at the right moment, place and time The secred text of the Bible says ye shall know them by their fruits So too that I say to my christian brothers and sisters be fruitful and multiply Best regards from a Muslim ( line of ismail )

[@johnsix.51-69]

@@theguyver4934 Muhammad didn't exist until the 7th century. The church had already held 5 ecumenical councils before Islam was even a thing. John of Damascus thought an Arian monk influenced this new sect. He actually thought it was a new heresy and called it the heresy of the Ishmaelites. Muhammad spread his new idea with the sword. He raided caravans outside of Mecca and once Mecca was weak he invaded it. False prophets like Muhammad come and go. There nothing new under the sun says Ecclesiastes.

How much time have you spent in a Muslim country? He is using the word as a conventional title, the way anyone in a Muslim country does who does not want to be the target of jihad. Obviously Muhammad is not his prophet, as a Christian, but M is called “Prophet M” in that culture. We’re not supposed to seek martyrdom, but use discernment.

[@andrewjoukhadar4758]

I have lived in lebanon for 20 years .I'm sorry I don't agree no matter if you live in their house you shouldn't say that mohamed is a prophet . I don't even put a capital letter in his name

You claim to believe in the 10 commandments yet you fill Mt Sinai with idols? Repent before the messiah comes

[@sophiamac9100]

They're icons not idols. You are probably a protestant thus your ignorance. Orthodox Christians do not revere the wood or the paint but who the icon represents. Just like you'd keep a beloved one's picture close to you. That's not difficult to understand is it? Kissing and revering an icon you revere the Lord, Theotokos or Saint it represents. We show our love in this way. Maybe that's why Orthodoxy isn't stale dogmatism but the only true ancient church as it was handed down by the apostles.
