twitter.com/lisaishyp1/status/1295613071864414208?s=21 Psalm 17 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition Psalm 17 A Prayer of David. 1 Hear the right (my righteous cause), O Lord; listen to my shrill, piercing cry! Give ear to my prayer, that comes from unfeigned and guileless lips. 2 Let my sentence of vindication come from You! May Your eyes behold the things that are just and upright. 3 You have proved my heart; You have visited me in the night; You have tried me and find nothing [no evil purpose in me]; I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. 4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of Your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent (the paths of the destroyer). 5 My steps have held closely to Your paths [to the tracks of the One Who has gone on before]; my feet have not slipped. 6 I have called upon You, O God, for You will hear me; incline Your ear to me and hear my speech. 7 Show Your marvelous loving-kindness, O You Who save by Your right hand those who trust and take refuge in You from those who rise up against them. 8 Keep and guard me as the pupil of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings 9 From the wicked who despoil and oppress me, my deadly adversaries who surround me. 10 They are enclosed in their own prosperity and have shut up their hearts to pity; with their mouths they make exorbitant claims and proudly and arrogantly speak. 11 They track us down in each step we take; now they surround us; they set their eyes to cast us to the ground, 12 Like a lion greedy and eager to tear his prey, and as a young lion lurking in hidden places. 13 Arise, O Lord! Confront and forestall them, cast them down! Deliver my life from the wicked by Your sword, 14 From men by Your hand, O Lord, from men of this world [these poor moths of the night] whose portion in life is idle and vain. Their bellies are filled with Your hidden treasure [what You have stored up]; their children are satiated, and they leave the rest [of their] wealth to their babes. 15 As for me, I will continue beholding Your face in righteousness (rightness, justice, and right standing with You); I shall be fully satisfied, when I awake [to find myself] beholding Your form [and having sweet communion with You]. 🙏🏼🔥🥰🛐✝️ Amen

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?...

The Latin teaching or original sin is not the authentic teaching of the Church. We believe we inherit the consequences of Adam's fall, which is death. But we are not born in a state of having been judged in some legalistic way. It takes time for the moral judgement of a child to develop, and it is different for each of us. However, there comes a time when even older children understand the difference between good and evil.

@@johnr1485 there is a fundamental difference between the mediation of the Lord Jesus Christ and the intercessions of the saints The mediation of the Lord Jesus Christ is an atoneent, which means that He mediates for the forgiveness of our sins, being the Atoner who paid our debts on our behalf. His mediation means that He says to the Father: "Do not count their transgressions because I have carried their iniquity" (Is.53:6). Thus He stands as a Mediator between God and men; or rather, He is the only Mediator between God and men; He fulfilled God’s Divine Justice and granted people the forgiveness of sins, by dying for them This is what St. John the Apostle meant when he said: "And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world" (1John.2: 1,2). Here, the atoning mediation is very clear. It is a mediation for the sinner: "If anyone sins", and this sinner needs atonement. The only One who offered this atonement was Jesus Christ the righteous. Hence He can mediate for us through His blood which was shed for us.The same meaning is given in the words of St. Paul the Apostle about the Lord Jesus Christ being the only Mediator between God and men. He says: "For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all" (1Tim.2: 5,6). The Lord Jesus Christ mediates for us as the Redeemer who sacrificed Himself and paid the price of our sins. This type of mediation is utterly unquestionable. It is attributed to Christ only, whereas the intercessions of the saints has no connection with atonement or redemption. It is intercessions for us to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. The intercessions of the saints for us are merely praying for us; they are of the pleading type, which is completely different to Christ's atoning mediation This is sanctioned by the Holy Bible which says: "...pray for one another" (Jas.5: 16). The saints themselves asked people to pray for them. St. Paul said to the Thessalonians: "...pray for us" (2Thess.3: 1) and asked the Hebrews the same request: "Pray for us" (Heb.13: 18). He also said to the Ephesians: "...praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints - and for me" (Eph.6: 18,19), The request to pray for one another is countless in the Holy Bible. If the saints ask us to pray for them, shall we not ask them to pray for us? If we ask the prayers of those who are still in their spiritual combats, subject to sufferings like ourselves", shall we not ask the prayers of the saints who completed their striving and departed to Paradise, living with Christ? Or have these saints been demoted after their departure from earth to Paradise so that we are only allowed to ask their prayers when they are on earth and forbidden to do so when they are in Paradise close to God? If we ask the prayers of human beings, is it too much to ask the prayers of the angels?

@@dabaw2154 thank you for the detailed answer. My english is not good but ill try my best. I a. Borned catholic who switched for protestantism and now I want to become Orthodox. But I have some blockage. Thats the reason of my past question. And now I understand better. Protestant are saying that praying to the sainr and the virgin Mary is praying to the deada wich is forbiden in the Bible. And supposedly Mary wasnt virgin all her life and that since she is a human being she cannot be immaculate/perfect since only Christ is sinless. So before becoming Orthodox I want to dig thelogy to be 100% sur everything is biblical and original.

On the Angels: When my son was a baby (2-3 months) I would have him sleep next to me so I could feed him, change him and put him back to sleep. My bed was decorated with many pillows some of them big pillows. One night as I was sleeping with the baby next to me, I felt someone blow fresh air on my forehead; I immediately opened my eyes and my mind told me check the baby. One of the big pillows had fallen on my son and I pulled it right away from the baby, I checked the baby, he was sleeping and breathing well. If the pillow remained on the baby it would definitely suffocate him. Then I was puzzled, how did this happen? Where did the air come from? The doors to the bedroom and the bathroom were shut, the window was closed because it was winter time and tried to see if there was a draft coming from somewhere. And if there was a draft why I only felt the fresh air straight in my forehead? I then crossed myself and my mind (logismos) said that this was an angel. All of us have witnessed their presence and this one incident as a young mother was something that I will never forget.

I often think about this, about how Christ and the Angels are not ‘somewhere out there’, but immaterially with us so intimately that they can hear our thoughts and intentions. Imagine the embarrassment one who is unprepared will feel in the end to find out that every single one of his impure thoughts and intentions was witnessed in real time by the Master of the Universe and His assistants.

Hello Thalia, be at peace about this. Just as we ask the saints to pray for us, we often refer to this as praying to them, but in fact it is very different to the way we pray to god and worship Him. Seeking the prayers of the angels is something the Church not only sanctions, but encourages as an important part of their relationship with us. God bless you.

St. Paul speaks about three things: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." (2 Tim 4,7). Are you putting up the fight? Are you running in this race? Are you keeping up the faith? "And now these three remain: faith, HOPE and love." (1 Cor 13,13) There is no assurance. But HOPE based on our faith and our love for God and neighbor are our best bets.

I told her good people don't go to heaven, forgiven people go to heaven. If a person commits sin they are not saved and they need to trust in the gospel and repent.

alot of your videos tend to be illuminating in what my life has obfuscated. The one here wasn't of clarity of discovery or learning but rather one of guilt, especially when it came to sin driving away the angels in your life. Living free of sin and repentance has never been easy nor will it ever be. You feel those burdens of guilt and wrongdoing sometimes even long after you've accepted Christ as Lord and Savior. Sometimes I even wonder if I'm worth the effort whether to God or the people in my life. It's a frustrating thing to be human and fall so easily to the wayside and continue to make the same mistakes and commit the same sins. Pray for the souls like me bound deeply into their vices. It's a difficult thing to turn away and keep away from some of those things wholly when temptation is a strong tool against us.

I was truly blessed almost two years ago, and had a few brief glimpses since, by a visit from angels. The first time was shortly after the Evil one literally had a hand on my shoulder and whispered that he wanted my soul into my ear. I woke a couple of nights later but couldn't open my eyes as it was too bright but could hear two talking, one said to the other 'shush Michael, she needs to sleep'! Before that they had been remote beings to me, something only ever read about.

@@dabaw2154 Thank you for replying..... Although the verse you shared clearly explains and describes the function of the angel Raphael, it does not, in my opinion, elude or suggest to the idea that we should be praying to the angels. In the Gospels, Jesus tells us how we should pray. I pray to God the Father, I also pray to Jesus Christ, and through and in the name of Jesus I bring my requests, as well as my concerns and my confessions, as I am moved and prompted by the Holy Spirit. Since I have direct access to God through Christ and his intercession, why would I ever want to consider praying to an angel. I am unable to find any scripture anywhere in the Bible that commends me or invites me or suggests to me that I should pray to the angels.

@@peruseperusing5027 here is a fundamental difference between the mediation of the Lord Jesus Christ and the intercessions of the saints The mediation of the Lord Jesus Christ is an atoneent, which means that He mediates for the forgiveness of our sins, being the Atoner who paid our debts on our behalf. His mediation means that He says to the Father: "Do not count their transgressions because I have carried their iniquity" (Is.53:6). Thus He stands as a Mediator between God and men; or rather, He is the only Mediator between God and men; He fulfilled God’s Divine Justice and granted people the forgiveness of sins, by dying for them This is what St. John the Apostle meant when he said: "And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world" (1John.2: 1,2). Here, the atoning mediation is very clear.
