Steve McQueen was in the 1st “Blob.” 4:24

Hi. Im listening for a second time now. You guys lighten me up and I actually smile and giggle a little!!! Love you both!!!! ❤❤ the first time a yt video inspires 15 metal bands makes me giggle even on the second listening.

Really, really like Lord of Spirits... ...something we eastern Orthodox Christians seem to forget or totally ignore, for whatever reason, in regards to Christian monarchies are concerned is the Ethiopian (Orthodox) Christian monarchy, namely Haile Selassie who was the 226th direct descendant of King Solomon of Israel. He, like other Ethiopian kings and emperors took their title as The Lion of Judah. In fact, one of his royal titles is Protector of the Oriental Orthodox Christian faith

God is the truth!!!!✝️🙏🌹🦁🦅🕊️

[@SeriouslyAwesome]

that's funny about Anti- meaning "instead of" because just the other day I was wondering if Herod Antipater meant "against the father". Thought that weird since Antipater/Antipas didn't seem uncommon pre-Christ, but then again it was fitting.

[@lindamorgan2678]

Anti - Semite which is a very over used to their advantage and nonsensical term if a person knows the true definition of Semite LOL

[@LordofLiquorice]

How many times can someone say "right?"

[@drewcoope]

Great podcast but I wish they'd joke around less and stick to the topic.

[@paulr5246]

My unsolicited opinion is that they joke about things that make it SEEM like they are making fun of people who take the topic seriously, especially those of us who interpret the Bible in a literal, emmediate sense (as the Saints also did…), however I hope I am wrong about this.

[@Drew-xw4do]

Hey man some comic relief is always welcome if you ask me

[@michaeljmasseri973]

They're like little kids.... no humbleness

[@SerpentineManhood]

As someone who attends Fr. De Young’s church here in Lafayette, Louisiana. When it comes time for the liturgy, there’s no joking around.

[@animula6908]

That’s all podcasts though.

[@animula6908]

My honest opinion is no one deserves to be overly dogmatic about divining the future. Christians should trust God. Full stop. Quit trying to dictate the future.

[@Dr.zaidi4]

Heavy topic but given a very casual approach. Casual and flippant conversations

[@OzzybinOswald]

Unexpected Sex Pistols reference.

[@franciscafazzo3460]

What reference never, ever of the student of Josephus? Where do you see him? Concluding rome is the messiah?

[@MrGp59]

My suspicion. Man representing ANTICHRIST is living in Israel, he has the name initials YNH.

[@karolinaszczudlo9871]

Nah, he's more like pre- representation of false prophet - writing materialistic books for children, ( he's originally historian...), and now promoting transhumanism everywhere and end of free will be technological means... he's only minion though, the two main figures - like antichrist and his false prophet will be hard to resist, hence big deception and falling away, antichrist will bring solutions to troubled world, ridden by crisis, he'll be like hero for all bringing peace to turn apart war driven world...false prophet will have means to perform signs and wonders - so much ppl are now prone to this ( they crave signs and wonders) that they'll be absolutely enchanted with this figure...for now field is getting for preparation for those ...

[@Paygelove]

It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine … (popped into my head after the Lenny Bruce is not afraid😅)

[@animula6908]

I think they were alluding to that song when they said that. Everybody’s got to be some kind of an edge lord in the end of days. 🙄

[@Michael_Binkley]

Mark of the Beast ii 😂😂😂 I knew Jack van Impe by his fruits and because I too am of Dutch descent, so I know that a Dutchman will start his own denomination to suit his own fancy at the drop of a hat. As my Dutch Grandmother used to say, "You can always tell a Dutchman, but you can't tell him much!" Oh Father, are you too of Dutch ancestry؟ 😉

[@joylarson9040]

Please dear Father Stop saying " right"? Please?

[@sirpepeofhousekek6741]

And stop fake laughing too?

[@TobiasFlavius]

Saying "right" is Orthodox.

[@StevenWorkman]

Pray for guidance in how to make your podcasts about God's word and not your own ego.

[@animula6908]

It sounds from your comment like they trivialized a dogma of your denomination, and it’s as much about your ego taking it personally as it is about “the word of God.” I’m not saying I always appreciate the irreverent tone either, but it is a spiritual podcast for hipsters, so let’s just say it reminded all of us that Christianity is able to transcend denominational divisions when it comes to despising hipsters 😋❤

[@redmule8621]

It's over buddy

[@kbeetles]

Like the content and the thorough method you are taking - but the compulsory joviality you are presenting it with is more than irritating! It is completely out of context which makes it almost impossible to stay and listen. Can you make a more " serious" version of it? So that the focus is not broken constantly?

[@jenniferprull1887]

yeah, it takes a while to settle into the topic and the personal joviality back and forth is fun but i tire of it after a while and it can go on for a while of late. Rein it in guys.

[@issaavedra]

I really like the tone. I listen to them while working, and I feel like I'm hearing a conversation among friends.

[@kbeetles]

@@issaavedra - that's why I suggested to do another version where they could cut out the jokey interludes - then everyone can find what they are coming for...., no?

[@bonitajanssen745]

Donald Johann Drumpf 666

[@karolinaszczudlo9871]

Yes, I agree, it's breaking focus and I suspect humour here is to make up for lacking in knowledge and appealing to worldly radio presentation style with some horror movies and metal music, really??? Conversation still could be smooth and easy to digest without this populist approach...

[@joylarson9040]

Mormon men think they will become Gods!😢

[@januddin8068]

It is irritating to hear you talk as though John needed to have heard about the antichrist from Paul! Not from Jesus or the disciples? Jesus talks about gals messiahs and particularly one as he mentions Daniel’s prophet about him. It’s irritating because you skip the obvious and make stupid assessments like the folk who say 1 John ain’t talking about the antichrist just because he goes on to mention that there are some already present. Stop with that.

[@sirpepeofhousekek6741]

59:37 I laughed

[@jytogatewood]

Fr Stephen: The Bible has no code, only Moby Dick. Also Fr Stephen: 666 is a Gematria. 😘

[@DFMoray]

He’s talking about the algorithm based “Bible code” Not sure if you’ve heard of it but it was a thing.

[@jytogatewood]

@Deva Shiva Moray lol yeah, I was just playfully teasing the host. I know what he means. I'm a big fan of the podcast, if I was really concerned about an apparent contradiction I wouldn't call it out in the youtube comments like that, I promise. 💚

[@azurephoenix9546]

666 is gematria. Gematria was really, really popular in the Roman empire and it was used by pretty much everyone, jews, pagans, everyone. In Pompeii, there's graffiti that translates to "I love her whose number is 545". It's not really a code as such, unless you also think Ronald Reagan was the anitchrist since his gematria is 666, which I mean, he could have been, depending on your politics. mine is 333, so maybe I'm only half evil.

[@PaulSmall422]

616 in Roman: DCXVI. 666: DCLXVI. Easy to drop one letter, wouldn't one say?

[@robholt54]

Does the Apostasy mean Protestants will return to Catholicism and becoming Altar boyz...we need a little SNL to pump some life into this show!

[@michaeljmasseri973]

Little kids making jokes... Perfect example of tryingbto please men instead of God

[@backinmyrightmind]

As a former Protestant, this gives me much to think through. ❤️☦️

[@PaulSmall422]

I wonder why Licinius was not remembered as an Antichrist?

[@animula6908]

Because I don’t remember him at all 🤷‍♀️

[@PaulSmall422]

@@animula6908 Saving you looking it up, he was the Roman ruler in the East while Constantine was ruling in the West before he won through to be Imperator for the entire Empire. Licinius was a truly awful person and one of the worst persecutors of the Church.

[@foxdragon88]

I thought revelations did take place in the future. Am I off base there? why was that a joke? lol

[@januddin8068]

I’m glad you caught yourselves afterwards and admitted being indoctrinated somewhat by the ludicrous presuppositions of modern academia - that all NY authors were independent and competing in theology

[@alexsykakis7543]

Really good podcast fathers. Hello from Edinburgh Scotland. I would like to add that the world Ανήρ in Greek translates to male and Γυνή to female. I love your shows thank you very much for your lovely work God bless you
