Our Newest Lecture Series:
Demonology: Understanding & Winning the Spiritual Battle
Click Here: patristicnecta...
The study of the Church’s demonology is a part of basic catechism and Christian instruction. The Scriptures are replete with teaching on the dark powers. Additionally, it is impossible to appreciate the magnitude of the saving deeds of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, without understanding how He, and He alone, has conquered Satan and destroyed his works. Lastly, Christians are called to fight and win in the spiritual war, and for this reason, it is essential that believers understand their enemies and their tactics. Toward this end, Father Josiah presents in these lectures in-depth studies of the Scriptures, Divine Services, and pedagogy of great saints and teachers on the subject of Satan and spiritual battle.
Lecture titles include:
Lecture #1 Jesus and Satan
Lecture #2 Demonology in the Baptismal Rite and the Divine Liturgy
Lecture #3 Gaining Mastery of Satan: The Life of St. Anthony the Great
Lecture #4 How to Win the Spiritual Battle according to St. John of the Ladder
Lecture #5 Engaging the Unseen Warfare: Fr. Lorenzo Scupoli and St. Nicodemos of the Holy Mountain
Lecture #6 C. S. Lewis’ Screwtape Letters and Demonic Warfare in the 21st Century Falling West

i've been raised in the Evangelical church, and never has there been a time when the pastor preached or talked about these things let alone talk about it. for some reason it's very "taboo" and people don't like to talk about it, even though I would say that it's one of the most important things to talk about. by ignoring such topics we do a major disservice to younger generations. So thank you Father for a short but important lecture.

It is so refreshing to hear this. Thank you, Father. So many times Christians of different denominations despised me because I was telling them that physical love should have as a purpose bringing new life in world (ironically I knew people who were anti-ecumenists and who were more libertarian about sexual relationship than someone like me who is a little ecumenist). There were times when I started to doubt myself. And the fact that I am not in any form of a relationship with a woman it was another reason for these people to pity me for my "fanatical" views.

Your blessing, Father. I'm pretty certain that you have said that you don't really have time to read the comments (which I completely understand:). But in the slight chance that you do, I thought I would send a comment in hopes that you might some day address a fifth type of chastity. It may actually be under the "marital chastity", though. It is rarely spoken of in the Church today, and NEVER outside of the Church (at least to my knowledge). That is chastity in marriage after childbearing years. Where the couple decide to live as brother and sister under the same roof, but not become actual monastics. Thank you for speaking on topics that are not frequently addressed -- and if they are, not in depth. Our goal(s) as Orthodox Christians should not be minimalistic-- like it is so often in the world. We need to reach higher and deeper in order to understand more fully the phronema of the Church-- only by God's grace, of course. I wonder if many couples even realize this is an option. It might not be for everyone, because it has to be a mutual decision. But maybe it could at least be addressed. Just a thought. Thank you again for your guidance, Father. May God grant you many, many years in the priesthood.🙏☦️

Fr bless, can tou expand on this? Maybe it wouldn't be appropriate for KZfaq, but what exactly is blessed in the marriage bed? Today so many people have been told "kinks" and other things are permissible. Are they within marriage? I have asked many priests about these things and they usually avoid it and say something like "just make sure it's out of love." I'm sure many people especially converts would like a bit more specificity as it is hard to find that information spoken about.

Thank you father! At the end you were talking about the connection between pleasure and responsibility and how taking the pleasure without the responsibility is a non-Christian practice. So would that mean that the orthodox church is against the use of contraceptives?
@gillianc6514 11 ай бұрын
God most definitely disapproves of 'spilling of seed' (Onan) which covers barrier methods of contraception, and chemical methods (pharmakeia) Gal 5:20. Of course Orthodoxy disapproves! But we are not a rules based religion. Everything we do must come from our love of God. Remember, you can still be a great sinner and refuse to use contraception, because you do it with an enormous sense of self-worth and pride and scorn for those who do use it. Such a person is surely further from God than a couple who continually struggle with marital chastity but are in constant confession and a slow, painful journey of repentance for their sins.

@LadyMaria 10 ай бұрын
Of course they're coming together when they love each other even if avoiding the narrow time for conception via NFP. That's kinda odd to assert that they aren't. They abstain for about 5 days, which isn't a long time. We as Orthodox Christians fast for about 180 days a year in abstaining from animal products, and marital relations (though some couples might have economia there as they are weak, but this is the akrievia that on fast days and seasons there are no marital relations). Anyway, NFP and non-abortifacient contraception is a matter between the couple, their spiritual father and God. It is an economia if granted.
@LadyMaria 10 ай бұрын
@@sfappetrupavelandreiActually, with non-abortifacient forms, some make the woman's pH hostile to sperm and k1ll them all off in a couple hours like the woman's body does naturally when not in a fertile cycle (it takes awhile for sperm to travel to the fallopian tube, so without "food" they d1e, and when the environment is acidic, no "food"). So there's no fertilization much less conception which takes place 1.5 weeks after fertilization and much can go wrong naturally. Other forms stop ovulation completely. When that happens there are no 1,000 follicles released to mature in the ovary, only one becoming a mature egg per month. So there is no egg. These would be permissable in some jurisdictions if blessed by the spiritual father to use for the married couple. That all said, I'm not one who advocates for contraception as it is very damaging to the woman's body and should be avoided at all costs, even if only used for PCOS or something like that. Also, I believe we must be open to life without artificial barriers. NFP should be the only thing allowed in economia for this as it requires fasting and not giving into urges. But this too must be blessed by one's spiritual father.
@lbwnova6654 10 ай бұрын
@@LadyMaria regarding your first paragraph, I guess I worded that poorly. When we abstain during fasting seasons it is to bring us closer to God. But that's not the point of NFP. Although they're still coming together in love, they specifically avoid days that gives the smallest chance of conception, which is 50% of the point of sex

@LadyMaria 10 ай бұрын
There wouldn't be two. In Holy Orthodoxy, we only have one marriage that is a Holy Mystery (Sacrament) even if one is widowed. Anything else is called a penitential marriage and is not a Holy Mystery. So, the marital bond would not last beyond death there as it was a marriage contracted for earthly reasons, like inability to stay chaste as a widower (though that isn't a great reason to remarry), or not having had children with one's spouse before s/he reposed, or needing a mother or father figure for his or her children after the repose of a spouse. It would be something that one's spiritual father would give a blessing or not.
