@@KillerofGods because they lie and spread divisive rightwing propaganda to divide America and destroy us from within

With real respect, Orthodoxy has historical and theological issues, like every denomination. Christ established His church and will preserve it, but He didn’t say He would preserve it infallibly from all error. The New Testament documents from the apostles show error entering the church in many places and ways. Athanasius is a wonderful hero of the faith, but he did not single-handedly canonize the NT. And he did not affirm icon veneration in the way the Seventh Ecumenical Council claimed and mandated for all true Christians. I don’t say any of this to attack you personally, but because information spreads so easily via the internet. Grace to you.

@@tjkhan4541 to begin with, Orthodoxy is not a denomination but a pre-denomination. The whole argument falls apart right from your first sentence. God promised something but what you say its just twisting words to also support your argument which fell apart earlier. God is God so when He promises something, He does not make any discounts. He gave us the church and that church will remain intact until the end of times. Orthodoxy does not have a single error when it comes to doctrines, because if it did, it would contradict Gods promise. Since you are saying that Saint Athanasius didn’t single handedly canonized it..then can you give us the other names? Are you saying that you dont accept the 7th council? My brother, There is no salvation outside of the one and true church. Good luck interpreting the Bible, which is God brethren, by yourself. Just remember there will be the day of judgement…and then we will all go through it..Are you confident that your solo path will secure your salvation? There is a saying “the lonely sheep gets eaten by the wolf” . God bless!

@@Theoretically-ko6lr I wish God’s blessings to you too, friend. Thank you for that. I do think we disagree about what God actually promised about the church. I agree with you that He always keeps His promises, but the question is the content of the specific promise. I do not accept the Seventh Ecumenical Council. I don’t mean this to give offense to you or anyone, but I think historically, it’s just very hard to argue that icon veneration was present before the sixth or seventh century. And it’s also hard to reconcile with the whole Bible’s theology. Fully agree with you on the day of judgment, and I’m sure that not all my theology is exactly what it should be, but I am 100% confident in my salvation before the Lord and status in Christ, because the good news of Christianity is not limited to one institutional church. He died in my place and gave me His righteousness to be reckoned to my account before God. I want all my Eastern Orthodox friends to know that same joy and peace. Grace to you, friend.

There are plenty of verses where God instructed how to make icons. In fact some of the Apostles made the first icons. Were the Apostles wrong in that or they were less knowledgeable than us. I suggest you reading some history of the church or listen to some great Fathers of the church that explain the icon veneration based on the Bible. Also how are you 100% sure of your salvation brother, for which i wish you the best. According to Corinthians 9-27, Apostle Paul, one of the greatest preacher and Huge believers of Christ, he was still afraid of his salvation. If Paul was afraid why dont we all are?! Are we more faithful that the Apostle Paul who spread the Gospel? Didnt Jesus die for his sins also? As you see claiming that we are already saved its unbiblical and also a heretical false teaching. Orthodoxy says, we have been saved, we are being saved, and we shall be saved. Lets read Corinthians 9-27 again, and then lets compare our faith to Pauls. If he was afraid, how can we be not?

@@Theoretically-ko6lr with real respect, I think that (1) you are conflating art with icons, and (2) you are accepting late historical claims as having apostolic veracity, without evidence. The first evidence for Luke being an iconographer, for example, comes from Theodorus Lector in the sixth century; it’s just not apostolic. May I ask which chapter of 1st or 2nd Corinthians you have in mind?

Most so-called Christians are lost because they deny the power of the cross by adding works and dogmas and traditions.

☦️ Lord have mercy✝️

I believe this, but where exactly does it state this word-for-word in the old testament?

@mjgalante1 It is absolutely not in the Old Testament.

Russians

Sadly, I think that’s not saying much. Remember MKUltra? CIA m.o. seems very satanic to me.

KGB doesn't exist since soviet union's collapse. Russian Federation's secret service is called FSB.

Kirill and his holy 'special military operation'..

The CIA is completely awful with its espionage against Americans propaganda control of the media, putting drugs in inner cities, putting guns in the hands of gang members. If that’s how bad the KGB is, we should pray for Russia.

@@joekey8464As far as I know the Patriarch Kiril did not sit on the board of Lockheed and Raytheon which pushed for this war by prodding Russia. The west which promotes LGBTQ, transitioning children, abolishing Christianity in its countries, and placing over 900 military bases around the globe might have more a hand in this money laundering operation than you have been led to believe. The US would go nuclear if Russia toppled the government in Mexico and placed troops on the US border with the assistance of a puppet government. Why would Russia act any differently?

Unfortunately I'm learning our tax dollars may be the leading funding of Orthodox persecution in the whole Middle East and Europe. It's growing here though so how wild is that? I didn't know Orthodox existed till a year ago. My wife thinks I'm nuts, but coming along. We will be visiting for first time soon.

They are the ones I think about the most, but yes, the majority forget they are there.

NO. IT IS NOT. He is a false teacher.

​@@LB81RNyou are false

Demons are spiritual, being spiritual without Christ, is in short, Satanism.

Father Josiah converted to Orthodoxy from the Presbyterian faith. A large number of Protestant evangelicals were welcomed into the Antiochian Orthodox Church by Metropolitan Philip of blessed memory. This was a great blessing for America, as many foreign-born Orthodox bishops do not encourage conversion, especially if the converts eventually outnumber the cradle Orthodox and ask for an independent American Orthodox Church.

@@marymarysmarket3508 I understand very well where it came from and what it is.

@@barrycoleno, apparently you don’t.

@@OlympicLeprechaun Unlike you I actually have a name and an identity.

Right, but there are millions of interpretations for it. Some interpret the Bible and form a doomsday cult.

Orthodox Christians, at least the young converts I've come across, are more willing to side with Muslims than Jews/Israel on anything.

Lord, have mercy on us!

@@DragblackerOrthodox Christians typically don’t side with other. They are not Dispensationalists so they are not going side with the Jews who reject Christ.

I would love to hear how Israel has changed the way Russia has.

I haven't seen yet. But i am learning how what happened in 1948 still makes a huge difference in that minds of people there. I believe we know enough about Russia today to know that it has thrown off the atheism of the ussr and openly restored its historic life in the Orthodox Church.

Small and insignificant? Rome separating from the rest of the 4 patriarchates around 1054, and those other 4 patriarchates are insignificant? 250 million Christians are insignificant. Odd perspective

You're praising us too much, God willing you will be insignificant one day too. Mark 10:42-45

​@@leopistis3560I think he/she meant EO is small and insignificant in US. Most of the US is Catholic and Protestant.

@@leopistis3560 I don’t think you realize how how much bigger and more widespread the Catholic Church is. Roman Catholicism (1.3 billion) is >5x the size as Eastern Orthodoxy (2-3 hundred million). The overwhelming majority of that 250 million is also counted in Russia and Eastern Europe, the Orthodox diaspora is very sparse, scrambled together, and disconnected from their mother churches. In the U.S., there are ~70 million Catholics compared to the EO churches which are together home to ~1 million. The biggest EO church is the Greek Orthodox (GOARCH) at ~400 thousand.

@@leopistis3560we are like 2% of all Christians in America, but we have signs of growth, God willing a healthy trend that will keep going!

If it doesn't serve Israel it is evil

It has nothing to do with communism or any superficial differences. Russia was communist because it separated itself from the Western cabal economic system. West has always lived thanks colonialism where it took advantage of the weaker nations by taking their natural resources as well as human. The only disagreement there is that Russia does not want to give away its natural resources for free and it will fight for itself till the end.

Russia should stop killing Ukrainians.

Thank you for your service! 1000 hryvnia have been deposited into your account.

Father Josiah does not know the real implications of Russian Orthodoxy. He knows about it theoretically, but that is totally different from reality. Я Русская, поэтому я знаю не по наслышки

Fr. Josiah is a former student of Sproul and John MacArthur is an open Nestorian. America has always been an AntiChrist State.

both of them are heretics

@@hippios that we'll only know much later. The ferosity of the attacts of RC and other Ortodox church "christians" on Protestants reminds me of the same attacks of Muslims and Ortodox Jews on Christians.

@@dirkbindemann1852 I am Orthodox, and I have good reason for calling them heretical. Especially Macarthur, who said the blood of Christ is not the blood of God.

@@hippios He only refered to your Mass where your do not say that the bread represents the body of Christ, but say it IS the body of Christ and wine IS the blood of Christ.

Thank you for the reminder!!!!!

Brainwashed assertion. Russia's history is defined by conquering its neighbors across Eurasia in the name of "its own security". I'd say that's pretty evil for them to deny sovereignty to neighboring countries. The Czarist Russians didn't have a right to conquer the hundreds of ethnic groups surrounding them, especially when they engaged in ethnic cleansing after doing so (see the Pogroms), and neither did the Soviet Union (see the Holodomor and other atrocities). Doubly so regarding the Soviets given the dozens of ethnic states like Ukraine which attempted to assert their sovereignty during the Russian Civil War, only to get steamrolled by the Bolsheviks. Ukraine today was aggressed upon by Vladimir Putin (who is the grandson of the personal chef of Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin, and who tried to sign up for the KGB [the Soviet equivalent of the CIA] when too young to do so, meaning that as a KGB officer, he is *AT LEAST* as bad as whatever nightmares you think the CIA gets up to), as evident by Putin's "Little Green Men" (Russian mercenaries in Putin's employ) who infiltrated Crimea, Donbas, and Luhansk and started attacking Ukrainians there before and during 2014. Remember, those three territories before the 1940s were Ukrainian/Cossack dominant, and then Stalin inflicted the Holodomor on them to try to break Ukrainian Nationalist resistance to him, starving to death over a couple million people, hollowing out the population of the regions, and then forcibly importing tens of thousands of ethnic Russians who were loyal to him and the Soviet government to repopulate the territory and secure a land corridor to the Black Sea and the Soviet naval base situated in Crimea. So, Putin's whole claims to the territory are based on the dirty genocidal ethnic cleansing tactics of one of his predecessors, the dictator of the country in whose employ he was as a Soviet secret agent in the KGB. I think the evilness of the Russian government at least is firmly established with those facts.

You don’t call your biological father, father? He also said call no one teacher. What are your thoughts on teachers in schools?

And he said, “Brethren and fathers, listen: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran, Acts 7:2

What’s your point? Fr. Trenham is called Father so he’s anti Bible? Not a valid Priest? Not a member of the True Church? A false prophet, what? If you think your or anyone’s exclusive interpretation of Scripture is superior or even adequate in comparison to that of the Apostles, the Apostolic Fathers, Church Fathers, Saints and Martyrs who relied only and exclusively on the authority of the Holy Spirit and the enduring voices of the many that is the fingerprint of the Holy Spirits continued inspiration and involvement in the Body of Christ to interpret Scripture then you are grossly mistaken. Approach with faith, love and fear of God, forgive me a sinner.

@@SaltShack Jesus is our Priest. Catholics don't know the word that's my point. I have was involved in that mess at one time. Brain use it

@@cajunoneforchrist4545 Fr. Trenham is not Roman Catholic. Using one’s Brain in matters of History, Religion and Theology lead me to one conclusion, the One Holy, Catholic (not Roman) and Apostolic Church, Christs Church Founded on Pentecost that has remained faithful to Scripture it is responsible for it through guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Papacy wrestled away the Authority to determine Truth from the Holy Spirit and gave it to the Pope. The Protestant Reformers took it from the Pope and gave it to themselves and American Evangelicalism took it from the reformers and granted that authority to anyone with a Bible and an opinion who lacks the fear of God to use it. I’m not saying anyone is wrong just explaining how can you know who is correct and why. I think scholars call it epistemology. The unilateral primal decrees of a single man or that very synodal and conciliatory doctrine defined and practiced in Scripture by the Apostles themselves? It’s difficult to describe Using one’s brain to allow confidence in Scripture while simultaneously discarding the Biblical tradition and principles that the Body of Christ deployed to create Scripture. That requires a belief that the Apostles, Apostolic Fathers and Church fathers were only inspired by the Holy Spirit in their authorship and curation of Scripture but lacked similar or any inspiration or guidance in every other aspect of their respective Ministries, which of course is so narrow minded that it requires you to discard all the scripture, which is vast, that pertains to the establishment and vary practices demanded by Scripture they upheld and put into use. The very order under Bishops, Presbyters and Deacons and commands that we be of one mind and Judgement through the enduring consensus Scripture defines as pleasing to the Holy Spirit, for instance. Those who established Christ Church as commanded on Pentecost and those directly taught by the Apostles each represented on Pentecost are far better interpreters of Scripture because they held, lived and understood the complete and complicated cultural context which no matter how hard one tries or claims simply can’t recreate. Melanchthon knew this himself so why would Bacon and Billy Graham and Joel Osteen for that matter ignore his lead let alone Ignatius. Polycarp and Clement if not to create some new patch that they can claim jurisdiction over for God or for themselves the motives don’t matter. After all, one’s Protestantism in the 16th century and now is determined more by one’s City and Municipal authority than anything defined by Scripture. Otherwise Knox’s Church wouldn’t be different than Calvin’s and Calvin wouldn’t be different from Luther’s. The very decrees they drafted to define themselves are named after the City from which they originated, London, Augsburg, Westminster…….. This is precisely why the “Rock” church is different from the Church of Christ and Lonnie Frisbies was different than Greg Laurie’s, that is different than Joel Osteen’s. Forgive me I can’t help but to pick on Joel, probably because my wife listens to him and he’s so pretty and pleasant. The worship Father Trenham is Presbyter over would be far more recognizable to the Apostolic Fathers than anything that occurs in Rome let alone in any Protestant tradition. Does that mean it’s perfect? Does that mean his opinions on Israel and the Ukraine and the United States role, even obligation to the world in the 21st. Century are spot on? Of course not. Does that fact make a compellingly argument that it is in fact Right and True? Yes of course. We should all seek the same thing, a good account of ourselves before the fearsome and awesome judgements seat of Christ and of those which have received much, much is required and that means to use our brains and our hearts and our very being. You don’t have to go to any Church to have a personal relationship with Christ, but if you wish to strengthen that relationship to the greatest degree possible, all things being equal, through contemplative prayer and worship and especially receiving the Sacraments, the best place with the greatest chance of pleasing the Holy Spirit most is in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Thanks for the exchange and opinions. Again, Forgive me a sinner.
