@@Volleyball_Chess_and_Geoguessr In addition, it is not right to see myself as a righteous person. Jesus said he didn’t come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Think about people who see themselves as righteous, they usually are not. Therefore I should not justify myself as a good person, but be humble before others and God. That is what Jesus wants and it’s also what leads to me acting more loving towards other people. If I see myself as better than other people, it leads to lots of toxic and sinful thoughts and behavior.

Be careful, Christian’s, not to be run by fear, but Love .

We Eastern Orthodox need to hear this, above I myself need to hear this and contemplate it. The present conflicts, strife, major schisms and our biggest Patriarchate's acts of condoning war in the name of 'Holy Rus' are disgusting to behold. Blessing weapons who will used to combat another traditional Orthodox land is a disaster. So sad that the Orthodox keep so quiet about what is happening in our own ranks is heartbreaking. We are so wary of admitting our lack of unity. The leader of the largest Orthodox church supports war and yet we can't admit it. Speak out Father, we know that's one of the reasons you made this video. Don't be afraid to admit we have serious issue in Eastern Orthodoxy.

Why come prepared to argue, when you have no understanding of what it is you want to argue about? There are many, *countless* even, former Protestants that become Orthodox after giving a thorough and unvarnished examination of Scripture, history, and theology of the Church given to His apostles to teach. Too many Protestant arguments are prepared against imaginary straw man points of contention, or the assumption that Orthodox are “just Roman Catholics.” It’s good you felt it wasn’t needed after listening to the truth.

Stop expecting miracles or signs or material things or perfect clarity as it relates to worldly/daily life. Because most likely you will get none of that. Almost no one does. God/jesus is a path, a way. It is true because it works and it works because it’s true. I used to feel the way you do. I was an atheist. I mocked and laughed at believers. No one converted me, I simply came to understand as part of the crushing pain I carry with me. No modern prescription alleviated my suffering. And I know you’re suffering too. The things you say, the anger roiling underneath. The medicine that religion/god provides is bitter because it is true and does not align with the earthly world (including our personal expectations or understanding of the world). The path is narrow and difficult. But it provides an acceptable worldview which allows for peace and stability in your personal life. Understand that almost all depression is anger. And almost all anger is an inability to accept an unacceptable world. Good luck and Godspeed.

when it comes to shopping coming to you, all prayers are worthless. A call and money might do it instead, point being doing is the right price for making it happen, not praying. Praying is to understand what you must do, cure the sickness in your mind. The process is simple: what you do deposits into your subconscious loop, which comes back to you determining your behavior. In this regard no prayer is worthless, but what you make of it, and even so, words you understand and don't agree with, go past you in your subconscious and come back sometimes through your behavior and "new" ideas. Nothing is really new
