HOW IS EVIL BORN IN US?

In order to repent, we must understand how evil begins within us.

[@I.am.a.sinner_]

Father Spyridon, i seek your prayers. I am a 15 year old living in india. My family are hindus and i am surrounded with a secular society. My priest lives really far away so i take online catechumen classes. Lately i feel so lost. Pls pray for me Father 🙏🏼

The only truth that keeps peace for me is that I have been forgiven, the lord is the peace that swells my heart... He is love and makes me love. I hope this helps you too ❤️

[@100sss2]

Dear Father Spyridon, thank you. I am grateful for you doing this. 50, 100, 500 years ago, to listen to a monk/priest preach, you needed to wait, walk many miles, and still may be disappointed in the advices given by him. Yet you give us such beautiful words by the grace of our Lord, and post it online so we can spiritually enjoy it. This is a true rarity no human could imagine just a century ago. Thank you Father Spyridon 🙂

When I was a kid, I was such a good child that other people asked my parents how am I like this, but as I got older I became more evil. I never figured out why

[@fungsia5549]

the environment, the stuff we are being exposed to, how we are being taught since young, the values etc being imposed onto us from society. good or bad is being influenced, when you surround yourself with positive good energy and people, you slowly gravitate towards goodness, vice versa. when we were a child, our minds aren't as polluted yet, as we grow up and got exposed to outside bad influences, the heart gets contaminated with selfishness, ego, the poisons that we see in the chaotic society today. with proper intervention and guidance, it is possible to prevent kids from harmful influence. unfortunately parents and educators are not paying enough attention to what their kids are growing up with. sadly todays kids are growing up without the right influences with the digital age. parents are either too busy at work, or just have no idea how to raise their kids with the correct values, they leave their kids with "smart" devices and internet media to educate their kids. and they wonder why kids are harder to teach and discipline these days

[@Sudden-Death]

Society’s programming. Happens to us all actually, pray repent and redeem yourself through Christ just actively seek the truth and you will find him

The world today wants to shape you into the image of satan.

[@nothanks830]

The current world we live in is nothing compared to the past. These teachings are good, but they do not include everything we are subjected to in today’s world. Even the people we encounter are worse. Everything is worse. That doesn’t stop God from helping us and our free will choosing God. The world was never perfect, it has always been corrupt, but we have reached levels of it that have never existed in all of human history. I’ll answer for what I’ve said if I’m, because I believe it to be true, but it’s reality. People are worse, our mental state has never been worse, our social environment has never been worse, evil has never been this rampant. What I don’t agree with is that this guy says it’s evil to have bad thoughts. While says, it is evil, but so is sin, and everyone sins. Every single person has bad thoughts. Every single person thinks bad things. We aren’t perfect, and we will never be perfect. Your actions speak louder than words, and putting your faith in Christ and trying to do better and become better matters.

He’s an Orthodox Priest. They don’t do secular stuff like podcast. His position in the orthodoxy remains in the Church. Not suitable not appropriate for this type of thing you’re suggesting. I don’t want a podcast. I want his monologue that directly teaches us from his respective role of the church.

I haven't even finished the video yet, but what Father Spyridon says about good doctors treating the cause of the disease is spot on. I like to call America's healthcare system either the Wealthcare system or the Health-Doesn't-Care system. The vast majority of doctors here merely prescribe drugs to treat symptoms, but will go no further than that. They can't produce profit from a healthy person. I am praying for y'all. May the gracious peace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ keep you in this dark, evil world.

as an early teenager i started to expose myself to pornography, now nearly turning 20, i am dealing with the aftermath of being a slave to this, seeing so much disgusting, corrupt, evil, graphic ideas and images. it effects me daily with intrusive thoughts, it keeps me away from spending time with family, stops me wanting to go out. i just want to be pure and without these evil and lustful and even blasphemous thoughts, i want to be alone. i fear ill never find a husband, or have a family, due to my sins. my anxiety convinces me the thoughts are who i am. it can be tiring, but i promised myself that i will never stop trying. i am the worst worst sinner, may the Lord bless and protect you all, i dont know why i shared this but i hope some people can help or even if anyone struggles too, know you arent alone, even if you are physically alone, GOD is always with us. who can be against us.
