I dont take Divine Liturgy for granted while present. Its impossible. But yes, those of us lucky to be born in orthodoxy do sometimes take our faith for granted because its always been there. While the aww of people, expiriencing it for the first time, sounds beautiful when they explain it. There is the oposite feeling when we hear joel osteen and his ilk. The obvious deceptions, shallowness, pure abomination leaves me in the state of pure disbelief. Then I get to apriciate Gods will to be born where I was.
@@anninoschristoforou3442 thank you brother for the video. But I dont understand why it was sent to me. I know all this. I was just saying we grew up in it, was born and crismated. For us orthodox, this was always our faith and our CHURCH. When we look at west, we see nothing. So I understand western catehumens and converts when they discover us. Its almost like being with Jesus and recieving the wholy spirit for the first time in your fourties. Imagine that feeling.

St. Theodore the Studite of Constantinople (759-826) says, writing to Pope Leo III .... Since to great Peter Christ our Lord gave the office of Chief Shepherd after entrusting him with the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, to Peter or his successor must of necessity every novelty in the Catholic Church be referred." (Theodore, Bk. I. Ep. 23) ...and .... "Let him (Patriarch Nicephorus of Constantinople) assemble a synod of those with whom he has been at variance, if it is impossible that representatives of the other patriarchs should be present, a thing which might certainly be if the Emperor should wish the Western Patriarch (the Roman Pope) to be present, to whom is given authority over an ecumenical synod; but let him make peace and union by sending his synodical letters to the prelate of the First See."

I admire 'bible believing' protestants for their religious commitment but they talk as if scripture fell out of the sky rather than something written and compiled by the early Church under the guidance of the Spirit. For at least the first few decades of Christianity, perhaps even longer, there was no finalised canon of New Testament scripture - so who preserved our Gospel? The Church! Ignoring the Apostolic church and only pointing to the printed Word, reading it in a literalist way free of all mystery and depth, makes no sense to me. I admire many Roman Catholics who display a fantastic spirituality and thirst for Christ on an individual basis but just can't get around the crimes of that Church, which still continue to this day. I admire the Anglo-Catholic tradition and love the liturgies and services. It was this tradition I was closest to growing up. But the Anglican Church as a whole is so wishy-washy and anything and everything to declare oneself an 'Anglican' seems next to meaningless. I'm currently exploring Orthodoxy, both by attending services and reading. There's plenty to like so far. Still seeking.

Georgie Benson _ but they talk as if scripture fell out of the sky_ I know what you mean. "Do you believe that the Bible is the Word of God?" I don't want to offend anybody, I really don't, but I so often get the impression that Protestants treat the Bible like Muslims treat the Qur'an. It's like God wrote this book, left it for humanity and then hid away. In some sense, I do think that it takes more faith to believe that every single word of the Bible is true and scientifically accurate. But it also gives rise to some furious, arrogant atheists.

These individuals were secretly trying to lead Christians astray while in the Church and were killed under Pope Lucius III What does this suggest? There was bad leadership in the early Church which can still be seen today. This does not denounce that the Catholic Church is the only Church Jesus Christ established. The Church is operated by sinners like you & I, and therefor will always have imperfections. However, the teachings will never change and have been divinely protected for over 2,000 years.

I came to orthodoxy over 20 years ago. Now I am a monk priest . I was chosen to be the exorcist in our holy monastery and I have seen many things over the years. I converted from roman Catholic because I found out the truth about saint peter still being the rock of the orthodox church and the true rock being Christ Jesus our lord God and savior , and what that really means , I understood the truth about the 7 counsels in early 300 ad. And how holy tradition and apostolic succession is only in holy orthodoxy .I was angry because I felt lied to all these years from the roman Catholics who made me believe Orthodox church departed from the church , and were looked at by Rome as the , " SEPARATED BRETHREN " HOW WRONG THEY WERE , THE TRUTH WAS THEY DEPARTED AND WERE ANATHEMATIZED EXPELLED FROM HOLY ORTHODOXY ! THEY CONTINUE TO NOT TELL THE TRUTH TO THIS DAY ! I THINK THE PROTESTANTS HAVE MORE OF A CHANCE BECOMING ORTHODOX THAN ROMAN CATHOLICS ! ANY WAY , AS A PRIEST AND AN EXORCIST I LEARNED THAT GOD WILL GUIDE ALL THOSE TO THE TRUE FAITH OF HOLY ORTHODOXY IF ANYONE TRULY SEARCHES FOR JESUS CHRIST . IF ANYONE WANTED TO BE A CHRISTIAN DURING THE FIRST 1000 YEARS OF CHRISTIANITY THEY WOULD BE AN ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN , BECAUSE THAT WAS , AND IS THE ONE TRUE CHURCH AND FAITH , THERE WAS NO OTHER CHRISTIAN CHURCH OR FAITH , UNLIKE TODAY !

Almost perished in the occult and roc came across a book called The soul after death by Father Seraphim Rosek n roll, I met the lord in a pentacostal setting. While I knew rather quickly that church was nuts, I still knew I met the Lord. Church hopping ensued. As well as book devouring. I finally found a book caale the soul after death by Father Seraphim Rose. I looked at it suspiciously and checked to see if it was Catholic. Nope, this guys a Russian Orthodox Monk. Palm Sunday 2005 I recieved the sacrement of baptism, after a yr of catechism classes, into St Martins Russian Orthodox Church. I needed the true church if I wanted rescue from the occult. I have left some disturbing details out of this testimony as I'd rather not relive them.

I saw these videos a year or two ago, should have commented sooner. I know what you are speaking of. now my husband and children and I are Baptised Orthodox. Our priest is from 'old country', when he chants Greek it is so beautiful and precious, it brings tears to my eyes. I don't know how it is I was so blessed in my life... a sinner such as I.... could be saved. Miracles happen every day, and God works in mysterious ways! Praise! and Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me!

I was moved to hear your story. I myself was born in a Christian Orthodox family, which i today consider to be a blessing. Growing up, i was never the "religious" person who goes to Church every Sunday and my only relationship with God (the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit) was a short prayer every night before bed. Around the age of 18, a book found its way into my hands (not a school book!). I hated books, but i felt a little curious and a little obliged (being a Christian) to read at least a page or 2. I couldn't stop reading! It was the beginning of a new life for me, where my point of view on God changed. He was no longer the God i should fear, nor the unknown, unreachable God i had grown up to believe He was. The book is a collection of words and events from the life of a monk who passed away in 1994 and was officially declared a Saint by the Orthodox Church on January 13, 2015. His name is Elder Paisios and i highly recommend reading about him! You could start with this: "With pain and love for contemporary man" The series continues with: "Spiritual awakening" and "Spiritual struggle" Also, written by Saint Paisios himself: "Saint Arsenios the Cappadocian" (also in French, German, Albanian, Arabic, Bulgarian, Korean, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Serbian, Finnish) God bless!

That is exactly what happened to me in Armenia. Though I come from an orthodox heritage (Greek Orthodox from Jordan), I grew up lost and for many years going from church to church because my mom was catholic and my father converted to Protestantism before i was born ( he is back to his senses now thank goodness) and there was a lot of conflict around religion for me also which drove me to very dark places in general. But that which you describe, the moment in an instant you know just as clear as the sun in the sky when you walk into the church, are given the blessing by the priest or take part of the Eucharist You simply KNOW you found truth. Everything changes. It has been an amazing journey for me coming back home. God bless. If you ever get the chance I invite you to witness the miracle of the Holy Fire in Jerusalem on Easter, it is a miracle that only responds to the Orthodox Patriarch.

I've recently reverted to Orthodoxy, I live in Britain and orthodoxy is the church with the most in common with the pre 1066 church in these islands and particularly with the early Celtic church. Orthodoxy is the only church that actively challenges post modernism and the spread of Islam into the vacuum left by the collapse of Christianity in our society.

The politicalisation of the Anglican church since its foundation and its complete surrender to modern PC vapidity has resulted in congregations collapsing. When the provost of Glasgow cathedral allowed a Muslim to sing a Koranic verse that specifically denies the divinity of Christ , in an Assumption day service of all times was the nail in the coffin for me.

But on a fluke last year, a Russian friend of mine invited me to the Orthodox service, and (like you) within 10 seconds I knew this was the truth. Unbelievable.

Why Old Calendar? I cannot say I chose the Old Calendar Orthodox Church but rather God led me there. After researching the history of the Church and learning of the schism in 1924, I truly believed it is the correct place of worship. The Old Calendar Church is not a "business" where money and self-glory are evident, rather it is poor, humble, it is a house of God where Christians come together to unite with Christ our Saviour. And that's the main goal for Christians, to unite with God, here on Earth and in eventually in Heaven. Christ established His Church here on earth in order to help guide us to Him. Christ instructed St. Peter to build His Church and the Holy Sacraments and Traditions of the Church are of great importance for our journey to salvation. Glory to God!

Welcome to Orthodoxy! I converted to the Old Calendar Orthodox Church 15 years ago after searching for the truth throughout my twenties. I feel that Orthodoxy is a hidden treasure that many Western Christians have not discovered. It's wonderful to know that the Orthodox Church has not adulterated the doctrine and the Holy Traditions of Christ's Church, mentioned in the New Testament. Christians need to search for the Truth, ask questions, pray and the Holy Spirit will guide them to this glorious treasure...the Orthodox Church. May God have mercy on all of humanity. Blessings!

Welcome to Orthodoxy. What you say is true about walking into an Orthodox church and feeling the truth, and that will always stay with you communing in orthodoxy. The truth you felt is what you want to live, but are never able to fully express in words, because that is the beauty of mystery. But be warned as you walk in Orthodoxy. A particular Patriarch made an agreement with the Vatican, which was that all Orthodox priests that were against ecumenicalism in Romania should be removed from the church, and yes he true priests are being removed. Orthodox doctrine is pure and is the truth that you experienced, and may you always keep that. The many great teachers and Saints will make sure you do.
