[@Serros13]

I asked for strength and God gave me difficulties to make me strong. I asked for wisdom and God gave me problems to learn to solve. I asked for prosperity and God gave me a brain and brawn to work. I asked for courage and God gave me dangers to overcome. I asked for love and God gave me people to help. I asked for favors and God gave me opportunities. I received nothing I wanted. I received everything I needed.

[@orthodox1717]

Thank you, Father Spyridon ! I'm thankful for the grace of God to enlighten me to change my horrific sinful life 2 years ago. While I’m still a wretched sinner, I’m now faced with intense spiritual warfare which I never had before. It is very difficult. A lot of my past haunts me but it’s nobodies fault but my own. Lord have mercy and I pray for strength to endure until It’s my time to depart to the next life. ☦️

[@kramerproaxe1895]

We must share the same ghosts of our pasts. I'm learning from my mistakes but God gives us a new day to turn to him and I'm so thankful for shedding off the old me. Please Lord forgive us for the sins our our youth for we know not what we do. Holy Spirit guide us, enlighten us, grant us wisdom, discernment, holiness and purity of heart.

[@adambenedict6155]

Mark, me too. I was received into the Church earlier this year. Here is a prayer from the Russian (Jordanville) Orthodox prayer book that I use: “O Most Holy Theotokos, my Lady: through your holy and all-powerful prayers, turn away from me, your humble and unworthy servant, despair, forgetfulness, unreasonableness, indifference, and all unclean, evil and blasphemous thoughts from my wretched heart and darkened mind. Extinguish the flame of my passions, for I am poor and wretched. Deliver me from my numerous and wicked memories and fantasies. Free me from all evil acts, for you are blessed by all generations, and your most honorable name is glorified unto ages of ages. Amen.”

whats the difference between coptic and russian orthodox? shouldnt they be the same?

[@johnrezk7158]

Besides the theological differences, they have different traditions. That means different liturgical practices and things like that.

[@BL4IN0]

@@johnrezk7158 why can there not just be an orthodox church? This is one of the things preventing me from coming back to the church. Like do you have to be greek, russian, coptic, chaldean, ukranian, etc etc. At least the roman catholics have a singular church that connects them all. No matter where they are in the world a catholic is a catholic.

[@Nebulous_Encounter]

@@BL4IN0 There is only one orthodox church. However we're not papists so depending on where you are can affect which jurisdiction you fall under. That's all it means when you're Russian, Greek, OCA, ROCOR, etc. However some of the oriental churches such as Coptic or Ethiopian, have fallen into heresy like denying the dual nature of Christ and thus have been cut off from the body of Christ, the one holy catholic and apostolic church.

[@JosephSaad13]

@@Nebulous_Encounter wow such a claim to day Orientals are heresies. Ask any Eastern Orthodox Theogican they will clarify that Coptics are not monophysite in the sense you just explain. We definitely do believe in the Two substances of Christ in one Person. Both completely divine and completely human without separation for even a " twinkling of a eye". That is not the issue. We have different angles of viewing things due to heresies we were responding to at the time and so explained things differently in response to heresy. But the we have the exact same believe in essence and substance

I grew up Protestant, a member of the Nazarene church. At 36 now, I consider myself the definition of the prodigal son. I knew I needed Christ in my life, but the flesh kept pulling me away and still struggles to let go. I just want to say thank you from the bottom of this broken sinner’s heart Father Spyridon. I have been seeking a deeper understanding of God and Christ for three years now. It has been through much mental strain and struggle that brought me to my knees begging for the Lord to show me the path forward. I have no idea how you came to be as a suggested content creator for me, but I find it no coincidence that every time I open the KZbin App, there is not just a valuable lesson to be heard, but the one I need to hear. I do not fully understand the orthodoxy yet, but i believe that God has led me here for a reason. My heart yearns for the daily lessons you provide, bless you Father for the work you are doing in Christ’s name! May the Lord continue to guide me on this Spiritual Journey of enlightenment!

[@neptunetriton]

I was riding my motorcycle down some country roads the other day, thinking about all the ways Christ describes the Kingdom of Heaven and meditating on what meaning to ascribe to them. Great timing on this video, it really helped me understand that parable better. What I came away with is that the Kingdom of Heaven is not just some place where we go when we die, but more like a ‘spiritual state of being’ that begins here, now, in this life. We can choose to enter into it and participate (or not) by our actions and the movement of our nouse/heart. If I’m on the right track with my understanding, then burying our talents in the ground or allowing the weeds, distractions, fears, worries, and troubles of this life to choke out the seed sown within us are all warnings to guard the garden of our hearts from worldly temptations and admonishment to cultivate the ‘soil’ of our souls to receive, grow, and nurture the kingdom seed sown within our hearts instead. By so doing, we can enter into the Kingdom of Heaven state of being in this life, becoming active participants God’s will and plans for our life.

Many of us know this feeling of fear you speak of. The lord does not want us to worry nor have fear either in ourselves nor for the world. You must figure out what it is you are fearful of and confront it by giving your fears to the Lord. It's not always easy and I too find myself being bombarded with my past or even embarrassing sins that I have committed. I'm in my first month of becoming Orthodox Christian and I'm hoping to be baptized and crisimated around Christmas. The only other advice I can give you my friend is if you haven't already, see about talking to a priest in your local parish or if you have a monastery near you call up to see if you can speak with the Abbot.

A while back, the thought of just how horrible things would be today if Christ hadn’t come when He did struck me. And I recoiled in horror. Then I examined myself under the same lens. Even more horror. To me, the best consolation in this case-other than our Lord’s Sacrifice-is the Lord’s commandment to “Go, AND SIN NO MORE” (emphasis mine). It’s a tough battle to fight, but the rewards of overcoming are so sweet that they strengthen us to always get up and march on.
