I'm born into Orthodoxy, but I'm glad I didn't just blindly follow it. I saw how pure Orthodoxy is in its soul and I just had to follow it. I can't wait to learn more about the revelations we got. Slava Bogu!

THANKS be to God we have Fr Josiah !!🎇🥰

*Try this exercise, since we speak about waiting. Try NOT to utter a lie, and speak only the truth, indefinitely long. And if you cannot speak the truth, keep silent. Your soul will be saved.*

God be with you as well Fr. Trenham! May your days always be blessed in this wonderous new year! Peace be with you.

God bless you and your flock, Father. Always uplifting!

St Simeon the Stylite is amazing. But don’t forget those that made his time atop the pillar possible: those who fed him, watered him and removed his excrement, and who informed him of the happening in the world.

Thank you father, it is the new year due to St Dyonisius Exiguus an important Saint and author who invented Anno Domini and came from Dobrogea, Romania where I grew up.

I know you get so many thank yous Fr, but this message really speaks to me at this time. I haven't converted as yet and it has been a struggle that weighs me down at times. This is very uplifting and just the encouragement that I need right now. Thank you Fr Josiah & Blessings to you for sharing this comforting inspiration. Peace🙏

Thank you SO very much Father...for all you ministry to His Church and Bride. I read R&S as a Reformed PCA/Elder & CREC inquirer, & many podcast (Chrismated H-Sat 2014) before This excellent one. Your Already...then Not-Yet Waiting is excellent...Well Done! YET...I kept waiting for you to lay out Rm 8:18-25 for us! ;-) This passage became daily/memorized & dear to my grief/yearning since my dear wife Debbie of 47-yrs reposed 11/17/2022 (5 yrs HS/College sweetheart! 8-Kids/20-grands!) I love how the Apostle begins with our sufferings With the Creation...then to Us -- groaning/yearning..."for the Adoption, the Res of the Body! But then to your point, and our Hope wrap-up: "But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance!" How wonderful is that...for Your reflection!!! Maybe a quick Addendum is in order here!? Bless and Keep you thriving in His tender mercies Father.

Thanks father I also wish you all the best, happiness and health to you and your family.

Thank you so much Father! I'm just become you newest subscriber. I'm not Orthodox, just someone who pursues wisdom wherever it might be found, and you have a lot of wisdom. God bless you.

WoW! New Year? God bless U ALL! It's actually almost nice weather here in California desert/few days & other rare things lately

Thank you Father. While listening it occured to me that there is also a parallel with Creation - just as Christ created the world and invited us to fulfil it by bringing the world beyond Eden under dominion, so too He created a new Way, inviting us to embody it. Would you agree?

Much respect for your teachings. When I listened to this, a few night ago, I made a note. There is something called the "Mandela effect". And it is changing bible verses. The Lion laying down with the Lamb, as you say at 9.15 minutes, has been changed to the Wolf. I am so glad to hear you use the original version. It confirms, for me, that those of us who are older, remember that version. ❤

Thank you for your blessings Fr. Josiah. The Theological Concepts behind Digital Blessings are quite true and profound... Especially since I can re-start this video and receive a Blessing from the Holy Spirit through a Father of Christ :) 🙏 God is Omnipresent. Even on the Internet.

I have a friend who is still very concerned about going, joining, and becoming a catechumen, and then in the end, deciding it's not for her. She hates the idea of the emotional and spiritual roller coaster it would be.

I’m slow and steady towards orthodoxy! I’m reclusive so it’s been hard to tell the priest I want to be catechised and I feel like I’m looking odd.

The groaning of the whole creation is all but palpable by now.

Hello, father! Miguel here from Portugal. God bless you and keep you. I was just listening to your exposition on the rapture and I was left with this doubt: satan was bound and thrown into the bottomless pit for a thousand years after Jesus conquered death on the cross. Satan couldn't deceive the nations during that time. So, are we currently in those one thousand years with satan released and under his deceit now?

Father, a major issue I have about Orthodoxy is how splintered it is along ethnic lines. What Orthodoxy in America is multicultural? Or do seekers choose which ethnic tradition to join with?

I think it appears more splintered from the outside than you would experience inside a local church. For example, I have a Greek church near me that I visited several times before becoming a catechumen. They host a greek festival every year and the greek people there do seem to embrace their cultural background. However, they say the Lord’s prayer in about 7 or more languages, and not being greek myself I did feel very welcome there. Hope that helps! You should see what churches are in your local area

The series producers and actors support the gay agenda. The series is not Biblical accurate and even quoted the heretical Book of Mormon "I am the law" instead of the "Before Abraham was, I AM" passage, which clearly is an attack on the divinity of our Lord.

I apologise for my ignorance but was the Holy Spirit present in the Old Testament or only after the Resurrection of Christ? Did the Old Testament prophets speak directly with God or through the Holy Spirit?

@johnnyd2383

Holy Trinity is eternal. So to answer your question, yes, Holy Spirit was present in the OT times. Prophets were inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Allegories and parable are timeless in time called vanities looking and waiting for whats in man asleep to Spirit flesh thinks dead. ”We will take a simple little verse and show you why it is not addressed to the natural man, Ecclesiastes 3:15: “That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away.” The “natural man” cannot grasp that, for to him reality is based only on the evidence of the senses. The man of reason could justify the verse’s end, saying if it has any meaning then the writer must mean recurrence. The sun comes every day and the moon completes its cycle and the seasons come and go. If we took a picture of the universe today, the scientists can compute how long it will take to return to this point in the picture. So the intellectual man could justify the verse; but that is not what is meant, for it is addressed not to the man of reason or the man of sense, but to the man of Imagination. What is it all about? “That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been, and God seeks what has been driven away.”

@@nullclass0813 I am no scholar but yes and yes. I believe the Eastern Orthodox Church is “The True and Original Body of Jesus Christ” which the Father sent the Holy Spirit to fill the Jewish followers of Christ in the upper room as Jesus told them to wait for so they could preach the gospel in different tongues (languages) on the day of Pentecost to their non believing Jews as written in the book Acts chapter 2. It is the Church complete with all the gifts given by the Holy Spirit, which has continued on in for the last 2000 years and will last forever. I know this is hard to believe, as it was for me and many outsiders and skeptics but if you ask God and study history you will eventually come to this knowledge and certainty. Glory be to God for He never left us nor has forsaken us. He is faithful and true! And the gates of Hell have not or ever will prevail against it! Amen 🙏
