I believe that God will respect and honour your conversion, but it will be far better to become baptised. You may have to travel somewhere to achieve it. Many will insist on a period of preparation and instruction, but some may not. Pray that you may be led to your spiritual father.

[@eldermillennial8330]

Ibrahim Sulaiman You are mistaken; when he manifested to Saint Thomas, He welcomed his worship, albeit He would have preferred him to have done it BEFORE He manifested before him. Of course you will say “that is a false account”, somehow, but don’t imply that there never was such an account, true or false. God is TRULY Omnipotent, and can do anything. You only worship the Plenipotent, something that is incapable of at least one thing.

Fantastic work, as always ☦

[@roybasilthompson5715]

Thank you for creating this. For a half-hour long video, this was a very thorough exposition of St. John's life and contributions to the Faith. Holy Father John Damascene, pray to God for us! ☦

[@Trisagionfilms]

Glad you enjoyed it! God be with you!

[@olerocker3470]

I have been looking forward to this video. Thank you! Saint John is my favorite writer of the Early Fathers.

Being Ortodox is such a great gift form God, sadly many of my Otrodox brothers don't take it seriously, they think if ur baptised and you believe in God is enough for their salvation, that's the equally same like Protestantism or Catholicism .. God have mercy on all lost Ortodox souls

As an Orthodox Presbyterian, I am grateful for the understanding which this presentation has provided.

GOD forgive, protect and give us all wisdom and peace🙏✝️🙏I'm Orthodox, but know that alot among us don't respect Almighty GOD as they should. 😔🙏✝️🙏😔 We need to redempt, to feast, to pray, to help. We, Orthodox are tested by GOD, and few, very very few will survive. The devil tempts us everywhere. 😔 GOD forgive and protect us 🙏✝️🙏😔

St John of Damascus continues to open doors and windows, to historical and theological truth's. As they saying goes, once something is known it can not be unknown, my journey continues. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit, one God Amen

Excellent channel. Informative, easy to follow and not bogged down with minute details. Much appreciated!

O Holy Father John of Damascus, pray for us sinners!!!

[@ThroughKinAndClan]

This video about St John of Damascus as well as a video entitled 'What is Allah? Hieromartyr Fr. Daniel Sysoev' from the Orthodox Shahada KZbin channel are the two best easy and short videos I've ever seen about islam from the Christian prospective. I would also like to add that Sam Shamoun and David Wood are two very good resources for Islam as well. Great video 👍 Glory be to God!

Thank you, Trisagion Films! This is the first Saint that I really can identify with, besides St. Paul (whom I dreamed about once-does that make him my patron Saint?). I am very concerned with the war in Syria and pray for the innocent civilians there, under attack from merciless terrorists and their "powerful" backers who are trying to destroy Syria, one of the homelands of Christianity. Oh, Saint John of Damascus, pray for the Syrian people!

[@Trisagionfilms]

Your patron saint is who ever you were named after at baptism. I am glad you felt a connection with saint John of Damascus, he truly is a hero for the Orthodox faith as he lived in very difficult times and under less than ideal conditions.

[@karenbartlett1307]

@@Trisagionfilms Yes, indeed, as we do today! (Lord, give us faith!) Now, dear Trisagion films, I am not Orthodox. I was baptized as a child (12 yrs old), on my profession of faith, but they don't teach anything about Saints or Name days, and know nothing about Church tradition and very little of Church history,. They don't give anybody a Saint name upon baptism. When I had the dream about St. Paul, I had been reading the book of Acts. (I didn't much like St. Paul because of some of his remarks about women-can't remember what.) Anyway, in the dream he just appeared (a short bald guy, I knew he was St. Paul) and he said "We were going to Antioch". He looked like he knew I didn't like him, sort of humble and sad, and I felt sorry for him. So then I started liking him. I don't know what he meant by his comment in the dream. Oh, I did convert to Catholicism about 4 years ago, but the priest was mean to everybody (yelled at his secretary, plus other stuff) so I quit going after a couple of years. But I took the name "Mary" at my confirmation, or whatever they call it. About a year ago, I started studying Orthodoxy online, I don't know how I stumbled across Orthodoxy, probably from some beautiful chants. Now I am convinced that the Orthodox Church is the original, true Church. (Yes, I know about the schism, the filioque, all the very important issues.)

[@karenbartlett1307]

Oh, that was the Baptist church that I used to attend as a child and where I received Christ as my Savior and was baptized. (I know I sound like a Protestant.)

This video was so well done and so informative. I plan to obtain an icon of St John of Damascus and put it in my home to honor him.
