MODERN MAN'S FALSE JUDGEMENT OF GOD AND SUFFERING

Western minds have lost a sense of reality.

[@dschmid8845]

When I began physical and mental suffering many years ago, I was already praying, but turned to Christ even more and asked the Blessed Mother of God for assistance every day (nowadays, I also ask St. Joseph for help.) I also went to confession more frequently. Through suffering, which is a cross to bear, and letting Christ use my suffering to save souls, I’ve grown with increasing love for Jesus. Suffering is a mystery, but at the same it can be used to detach oneself from the things of this world and draw closer to Christ. One must not ask “why” is suffering happening. I find there is no answer to that question. Better to ask, what must I do. And remember that Jesus also suffered on the cross! His suffering was redemptive. Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me a poor and weak sinner.

We’re not weak we are fallen. The strength is within us all and the Lord is the answer to bring out that strength in our lives. His will and not of our own will bring us to peace through suffering. I wish I understood that many many years ago. But everything is in god’s plan so I don’t look back in disappointment anymore. All in God’s perfect timing will his work be done within us!

[@janelong68]

My husband and I are trying to get out of the UK as it is becoming worse and worse here for Christians. People are being arrested for street preaching, bibles are taken out of schools and the churches are fallen. Children as young as 9 are being 'taught' explicit sexual things IN SCHOOLS, and sodomy taught to boys. We want to move to Greece where we feel the Christian faith is very strong, especially on some of the islands. Islam is completely taking over the country, and crimes by Muslims are going unpunished and becoming rife. If you speak out, you are accused of being racist, but it's only truth. We pray for the Lord to help us leave this country. God bless and thank you.

[@FatherSpyridonROCOR]

Sadly, many parts of Greece are equally affected.

[@GunnerRDS]

Poland is probably your best bet. A shame to leave somewhere your ancestors have likely been for millenia though.

[@AnthonyKypros]

Sorry Jane. I speak as a Greek from Cyprus, and can say with certainty that you will be sorely disappointed if you think Greece is any better than the UK. In many respects, it is far worse. Nominally Orthodox, but in reality apostasy is rife. The government there, as here in Cyprus is controlled by the Americans and the same depraved spirit infects every aspect of life. If you are looking for a place that still retains a soul and any semblance of what was once 'normal', then the only place to look is to Russia - as hard a pill as that may be for you British to swallow.

[@Nomeado]

Brazil has many problems. Especially economy and urban violence. But definitely it is a safe place for christian faith. Of course there is a spiritual battle on course, but virtually I feel safe here to express my faith.

THE WORD OF GOD THE BIBLE SAYS: DONT CALL ANYONE ON THIS EARTH FATHER, WHY? CAUSE IF YOU REPENTED OF YOUR SINS AND ARE BORN AGAIN JESUS IS YOUR FATHER!

[@gideonbergman7270]

​@@johanneshartman4618 The verse you are quoting (Matthew 23:9) is not meant to be interpreted literally. The next verse says to not call anyone a teacher, which would make no sense considering there are many Christian school teachers. Additionally, Saint Paul refers to himself as being the father of the Christians in Corinth (1 Corinthians 4:14-15).

[@TheGuitarReb]

You have a very shallow mind when it comes to understanding language. The Bible was written thousands of years ago and interpreted from ancient Hebrew, Greek, and other language. The term "Father" in English is not used in a worshiping manor when addressing a priest. Catholics understand the difference between a Church Father and our "Holy Heavenly Father" Protestants use language as a weapon to attack fellow Christians. May God forgive us ALL of our sins and bring us to everlasting life, Amen. @@johanneshartman4618

When I was feeling melancholic and lonely, asking God why He only watches me and does not help me, I got to have one of the absolute worst days, which ended up destroying my entire week schedule... Suffering like an experiment-hamster... Like, I know, I voluntarily chose this hard path as a 17 year old young man, but why this much more suffering than expected?... But then...I get a recommandation from Father Spyridon with the title of "Why we need to suffer". And he gives my suffering a reason. God bless this man! 💙☦️

I am looking into orthodoxy, waiting for the local orthodox priest to come back from holiday to discuss attending my first liturgy and I've now been struck with a chest infection.

[@Poole2gether]

Father bless, I’ve had the same feeling lately as the young monastic who in his grief and confusion was tempted to leave the holy life. My only son and oldest child age 23, who was very dear to me, died in a car accident four months ago. Knowing that God allowed it to happen after a lifetime of trying (repeatedly and often failing) to follow Him shook my faith. That the car accident happened two days after my youngest was born (and the very night our newborn was airlifted for emergency surgery for an unrelated medical issue) has left me beyond hurt and confused. My son was not perfect, he struggled with sin like me. He wanted what was good and right and often pleased us with his genuine love of God and pursuit of good things. But sometimes, like his parents, he missed the mark. Our last six weeks together were very troubled. In shame he confessed that he too was expecting a baby. He was not married but was trying to repent and salvage what he could. After four months I’ve come to the very conclusions you outlined in your video. I cannot judge God’s ways. I have to try to make peace living the rest of my life without our beautiful boy, and accept the great pain our family is in, while continuing to struggle against sin. We pray continually for the son and brother we miss terribly, hoping that in God’s eyes our dear departed one is more akin to the monk than the harlot (though we did give him as beautiful a funeral as possible). God have mercy on us. Of your charity, Father Spyridon and brothers and sisters in Christ, please pray for the departed servant of God, Jack, known in the church as John (patron John the theologian).

[@TheTrueMendoza]

You and your family are in my prayers. May God keep you.

This hits so hard, Fr. Spyridon. I am a sinner, and by the grace of God, I continue to live in repentance. I think about the monk in the cave and pray that I could be so blessed for my life to end prepared to enter God's kingdom even if it is a horrific death. I recognize that the sins of my past are barring the way forward in one area of my life. I put those bars there, and I cannot ask for any man to take them down and allow me to walk through them. As much as my heart grieves what I could have had, I accept that this is where I am. It is my path to salvation, and I am blessed for it as humble as it is. Thank you for sharing this beautiful but incredibly difficult message. ☦

[@joenelson4019]

Such wisdom I recently converted to orthodoxy found a local English speaking church. The Holy Spirit speaks through the Orthodox Church like no other place so strong has changed my life and way of thinking completely!

Keep up the good work I listen everyday and you are changing my life thank you … God Bless ❤

[@corvuscorax8459]

Father, thank you. As a protestant - I find your videos refreshing and encouraging. I am a firm believer that the man of God will not have any choice but to allow the Holy Spirit to work in his/her life. Saint James told us that faith without works is dead - protestants misunderstand this. CHRIST is working in us, not man! The HOLY SPIRIT brings about good work, via faith. Thank you again, Father. Have a blessed week.

The Orthodox Church is the body of Christ. Anyone outside the Orthodox church is not within the body of Christ. Come home to the Eastern Orthodox Church, the path to salvation. God be with you.

All tribes and tongues will praise God yet the Eastern Orthodox has always been and likely always will be mainly Greeks, Slavs, and Ethiopians. The Church likely comprises more than the Apostolic lineage claimed by the Orthodox and the Roman Catholics.

Thank you father, this has helped me with some resentments and envy towards some people and organizations in the Church.

"When we look at ourselves and we see anger, we see frustration and fear about the way things are happening in our lives and in the world around us, we must take them as a sign that our hearts are not truly trusting God, that we don't fully trust and have faith in the Providence of God, we don't yet fully believe that out lives are completely and utterly in the hands of God. We may perceive chaos at times, but our lives are utterly in the hands of God, every moment, every person that we encounter, everything that we hear and see, God permits, our lives are utterly in the hands of God."

*5:116 Holy Qur'an* وَإِذْ قَالَ ٱللَّهُ يَـٰعِيسَى ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ ءَأَنتَ قُلْتَ لِلنَّاسِ ٱتَّخِذُونِى وَأُمِّىَ إِلَـٰهَيْنِ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ قَالَ سُبْحَـٰنَكَ مَا يَكُونُ لِىٓ أَنْ أَقُولَ مَا لَيْسَ لِى بِحَقٍّ ۚ إِن كُنتُ قُلْتُهُۥ فَقَدْ عَلِمْتَهُۥ ۚ تَعْلَمُ مَا فِى نَفْسِى وَلَآ أَعْلَمُ مَا فِى نَفْسِكَ ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ عَلَّـٰمُ ٱلْغُيُوبِ ١١٦ When *Allah* will say, “O Jesus, son of Mary, did you tell people, “Take me and my mother as gods besides Allah?” He wills say, “Glory be to You! It is not for me to say what I have no right. Had I said so, You would have surely known it. You know what is within myself, whereas I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, You are the *All-Knower* of all unseen.

In my humble opinion, mankind is not qualified to judge Almighty God! God is the Only true judge of All!
