The Great Delusion and the Beast - Sermon by Metropolitan Demetrius

Күн бұрын

Metropolitan Demetrius gives a very thought-provoking homily that speaks of the dangers of living in a world governed by artificial intelligence, as well as the need to recognize the importance of giving our souls to God and striving to attain the heavenly kingdom. The homily highlights the great delusion that many Christians fall into, where they prioritize worldly matters and neglect the higher callings of the spiritual life. It uses the parable of the rich man who was called a fool to emphasize this point. The homily is an important reminder to take a step back from the mundane and to remember that our souls are required of us.
Sermon delivered by His Eminence Metropolitan Demetrius on the Entry into the Temple of the Most Holy Mother of God, November 21 / December 4, 2022, at Saint John of San Francisco Orthodox Monastery, Cobleskill, NY.

It is an intoxicating world we live in. May our Lord Jesus Christ and our holy Mother the Theotokos, help us overcome its seductive pull. Thank you your eminence for such sobering words. 🙏☦️

@@KallyKafritsas”I am not the God of the dead, but of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” God cannot contradict Himself in that statement. And it means Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are very much alive in His presence. What part of “Those in Christ do not die” written in the Gospels don’t you understand? Do you read & not understand the Scriptures? Ask God to grant you the Grace to see, hear & understand. We are to see things through the Spirit not through carnal mind Kally. Peace 💟

Holy Master bless! Thank you Despota for this amazing Holy filled Sermon. It is so very hard living in this world if we don’t have Christ! In all my 72 years, I have never been so scared of of what was happening in the sixties especially. When living through the Cuban crisis, and being a Roman Catholic at the time , seeing the evil one enter in . We still had time to repent. Now, in this time the evil has gotten so bad, I wonder how many more chances will our Saviour give us to repent before He comes back to see how little His church has become. Despota, thank you for all the fasting and prayers you and your monastic brothers do for the holy church and the world. Elizabeth C

@@KallyKafritsas excuse me, but your comments are confusing. Are you a christian who belives that if you are not of The Church you are a heathen sinner? Or are you saying that orginized religion itself is a lie? If it is the second then why bother watching this amazing sermon? If you are watching as the first question, then instead of saying negative anger inducing answers try a more loving caring way of turning them to The Church. Either way i wish you peace and understanding and love. Let those who have ears listen...powerful words May God bless you.

@KallyKafritsas if you go to Google and look it up whether Orthodox Christianity is associated with the Freemasons, it says: According to the website of the Orthodox Church in America, "It is forbidden for an Orthodox Christian to be a member of the Masonic Fraternity because many of its teachings stand in direct conflict with those of Orthodox Christianity."

This is devil doctrine. No where in the Bible does it say to glorify and worship Mary. Mary was also a sinner and needed to be saved. She is our sister in Christ. She remains dead in her grace awaiting the Resurrection. This is Freemason lies. There is ONLY ONE mediator between man and God, the man Jesus Christ.. This false teacher needs to Repent of such wickedness. He opposes and calls Almighty God a liar.

Kally please open your heart to the Holy Trinity and your mind to the truths of God, revealed through Holy Church. Please ask God's forgiveness for your uncharitable and untruthful remarks about this holy Bishop. The Orthodox have NEVER worshipped the All Holy Virgin Mary, please try to grasp the difference between worship on the one hand and veneration/love on the other. You conflate two DIFFERENT things and thus your comment appears foolish. It's a straw man argument. Then you bring up another straw man argument, 'yes' of course there is only one MEDIATOR, which is the God-man Jesus Christ. The Most Pure Mother of God INTERCEDES for us. You AGAIN conflate two DIFFERENT things. Your comments are Freemason lies but i'm sure you don't realise what you are saying as I didn't when I was a poor, ignorant protestant. God forgive you for your comments regarding the All Holy Virgin, God forbid that she 'lies in her grave'. She is body and soul at the right hand of her Divine Son reigning in Heaven with the other Saints and the Angels as Holy Church has always taught. I hope that you open your eyes, mind and heart as I did and stop believing the devil's lies. ***Rejoice O Virgin Theotokos, Mary full of Grace***

I am so confused, with so much divisions in “the church”. I was raised in. “Reformed” church and was also taught that Jesus is our only intercessor, and by no other name can we be reconciled with God.
