Η Νηστεία στην Ορθόδοξη Παράδοση / Fasting in the Orthodox Tradition

Πολλοί άνθρωποι θεωρούν ότι η νηστεία είναι το σημαντικότερο στοιχείο της πνευματικής ζωής. Όμως ο Χριστός τόνισε πολύ περισσότερο την αγάπη, τη μετάνοια, την ταπείνωση, το έλεος, τη συγχώρηση και την πίστη.

Μάλιστα επέκρινε όσους τηρούσαν εξωτερικά τις θρησκευτικές πρακτικές, αλλά η καρδιά τους ήταν μακριά από τον Θεό. Η εξωτερική νηστεία χωρίς εσωτερική μεταμόρφωση δεν αποτελεί τον σκοπό της χριστιανικής ζωής.

Στην Ορθόδοξη παράδοση η νηστεία θεωρείται μέσο πνευματικής άσκησης και όχι αυτοσκοπός. Βοηθά τον άνθρωπο να καλλιεργήσει την εγκράτεια, να πολεμήσει τα πάθη και να αφιερώσει περισσότερο χρόνο στην προσευχή και τη μετάνοια.

Οι Άγιοι Πατέρες διδάσκουν ότι η νηστεία χωρίς αγάπη, προσευχή, ταπείνωση και έλεος έχει περιορισμένη πνευματική ωφέλεια. Η αληθινή νηστεία δεν αφορά μόνο το τι βάζουμε στο στόμα μας, αλλά και το τι βγαίνει από την καρδιά μας.

Η σωτηρία δεν επιτυγχάνεται μέσω της νηστείας και μόνο. Η χριστιανική ζωή είναι μια πορεία εν Χριστώ, που βασίζεται στη χάρη του Θεού, την πίστη, τη μετάνοια και την αγάπη προς τον Θεό και τον πλησίον.

Many people consider fasting to be the most important aspect of spiritual life. However, Christ emphasized far more the importance of love, repentance, humility, mercy, forgiveness, and faith.

He also criticized those who outwardly observed religious practices while their hearts remained far from God. External fasting without inner transformation is not the goal of the Christian life.

In the Orthodox tradition, fasting is regarded as a means of spiritual discipline rather than an end in itself. It helps believers cultivate self-control, struggle against passions, and devote more time to prayer and repentance.

The Holy Fathers teach that fasting without love, prayer, humility, and mercy offers limited spiritual benefit. True fasting is not only about what enters our mouths, but also about what comes out of our hearts.

Salvation is not attained through fasting alone. The Christian life is a journey in Christ, founded upon God’s grace, faith, repentance, and love for God and neighbor.

“If you are fasting, show it through your works. If you see a poor man, take pity on him.” — Saint John Chrysostom

Abdul Hamid gave the order for the tomb of Mehmed the Conqueror, which was located next to the mosque, to be opened in order to check for any damage and make repairs. The tomb was opened, and at a depth of three meters, an iron trapdoor was found. From there, a stone staircase led down into the underground chamber of a Byzantine church. There, to their astonishment, the workers found a marble tomb containing the embalmed body of Mehmed—identical to the portrait painted by the Italian artist a few months before his death. This fact—that Mehmed was buried within the ruins of a Byzantine church—has been considered by many as strong evidence that he wished to be buried as a Christian and Byzantine emperor, among the other Byzantine rulers. It is known that Mehmed often claimed to be the successor of the Byzantine emperors. Sultan Abdul Hamid II, who, for political reasons at the time, had abandoned a certain Islamic sect he had followed and had adopted Sunni Islam, was seized with panic and ordered the tomb to be immediately sealed. These events took place before 1908, and since then, the tomb has never been opened again. For this reason, it is difficult today to verify the testimony. However, on December 19, 1996, a Turkish weekly publication associated with the well-known newspaper Sabah was released with the striking headline: “The Conqueror was a Christian.” The subtitle read: “Historians have not been able to solve this mystery to this day.” Many centuries after the death of the great Fatih—Mehmed the Conqueror, as he is historically known—it is also known that he had a Christian mother, most likely of Greek origin. The fact that in modern Turkey—where Islamic identity is strongly re-emerging—such reports are published is seen by some as evidence of doubt about Mehmed’s true religious identity, even within the official Turkish establishment. This becomes even more significant when we consider that Fatih Mehmed is one of the greatest taboos of Turkish history, nationalism, and identity. A leader like him was expected to embody not only national pride but also religious identity. And yet, inside his tomb, it is claimed, lies one of the greatest secrets of the Ottoman Empire. There were testimonies stating that next to the tomb there was a cross and an icon of the Virgin Mary. According to these claims, Mehmed the Conqueror may have embraced Christianity at the end of his life—something carefully concealed by official Turkish historiography. From his early childhood, he had contact with Christianity through his Christian mother. It is one of the great historical mysteries how a relatively small number of Seljuk Turks and Ottomans who arrived in Asia Minor between the 9th and 10th centuries managed, within a few centuries, to change the entire ethnic and religious character of a region inhabited by millions—many say up to 20 million—Greek-speaking Orthodox Christians. There are many explanations. Some say it was forced Islamization through violence, while others say it occurred for practical and economic reasons. However, because this process of religious conversion was often incomplete and superficial, a unique characteristic remained within Turkish Islam—one that some consider a heterodox element. Today, this is being increasingly discussed by Turkish journalists and researchers under the term “the religious problem of modern Turkey.” On November 10, 2002, a Turkish newspaper reported that the feast of Saint Nektarios was celebrated inside a Muslim mosque—formerly a Christian church—in Eastern Thrace. Many Turkish Muslims stayed after their prayers to observe the Christian service with great reverence. Similarly, there are reports of Turkish Muslims attending Christian ceremonies, lighting candles, kissing priests’ hands, and seeking blessings from the Virgin Mary. In some cases, even Muslims from other countries, such as Iran and Iraq, visit Orthodox churches in Istanbul, seeking hope, healing, and help for their personal struggles. Some Turkish women have even been reported diving into the water during the Epiphany ceremony to catch the cross—an act deeply rooted in Orthodox Christian tradition. Other reports mention Muslims visiting churches regularly, praying, lighting candles, and asking for miracles. Turkish newspapers have even described certain churches as “places of hope” for Muslims. In recent years, there has also been an increase in conversions to Christianity in Turkey, often among people who later discover they have Christian ancestry. Investigations revealed that many of these individuals had ancestors who were Islamized, especially after the Asia Minor catastrophe, and later rediscovered their Christian roots. There are also remarkable accounts of healing sites, such as sacred springs associated with early Christianity, where both Turks and foreigners visit for healing. In some places, visitors light candles, burn incense, and perform acts that are officially forbidden in Islam. Despite this, such practices continue and are even broadcast on Turkish television. One striking example is the pilgrimage to Saint George on the island of Büyükada, where tens of thousands of Muslim Turks visit the church, light candles, make vows, and seek blessings. Some even walk barefoot up the hill to the church, tying threads along the path as part of a ritual for their wishes. Priests are seen blessing Muslim visitors, sometimes even making the sign of the cross on their foreheads. Finally, there was a mysterious event reported in 1998 on the island of Antigoni, where a strange, sorrowful sound—like a sigh—was heard every night around a church. Residents were alarmed and unable to explain it. Some interpreted it as a supernatural sign, even suggesting it was a message from the Virgin Mary—a lament for the state of the world and the abandonment of faith. The church, once full of Orthodox believers, now stands nearly empty. And this sorrowful “voice” was seen by some as a symbol of that loss.

🇬🇧 ENGLISH TEXT THE EMBRYOS ARE ALIVE? IT’S PROOFED. Some people went to FATHER PAISIOS and told him that a nun in Cyprus said to light candles for the unborn babies that their mothers kill. Father Paisios said: “She is crazy! There are no unborn babies in heaven, THE EMBRYOS ARE LOST!” During the night he saw a dream… While he was walking he heard voices of small babies, a lot of voices, and the place was shaken. Above them there was sand with candles, and under the candles you could hear babies’ voices. And they were shouting: “SAVE US, GOD, MY GOD SAVE US!” Father Paisios then asked another monk who was close to him: “Who are these that are shouting-screaming?” He was told: “These are the unborn innocent babies that mothers and doctors, without their will, have lost. Because they are unbaptized, they go to a place where the devils are not allowed to tempt them, because they are innocent. But it is dark, it is not paradise, it is darkness.” When Father Paisios woke up he told the people: “There ARE embryos and there IS a soul. Yes, you must light candles for the EMBRYOS. Because there is a soul.” ⸻ LET’S UNDERSTAND: A man approaches a woman and fertilization is done. The sperm of the man is alive — if it was dead, it would not fertilize. So it is alive. From the moment of fertilization the baby receives a soul. Fertilization = living soul + living body. The soul is the breath of God. It is a living being. So there must be respect for the EMBRYOS. ⸻ 🇬🇷 ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ ΤΑ ΕΜΒΡΥΑ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΖΩΝΤΑΝΑ; ΕΧΕΙ ΑΠΟΔΕΙΧΘΕΙ. Κάποιοι πήγαν στον ΑΓΙΟ ΠΑΪΣΙΟ και του είπαν ότι μια μοναχή στην Κύπρο είπε να ανάβουν κεριά για τα αγέννητα μωρά που σκοτώνουν οι μητέρες τους. Ο Άγιος Παΐσιος είπε: «Είναι τρελή! Δεν υπάρχουν αγέννητα παιδιά στον παράδεισο, ΤΑ ΕΜΒΡΥΑ ΕΧΟΥΝ ΧΑΘΕΙ!» Τη νύχτα είδε ένα όνειρο… Καθώς περπατούσε άκουγε φωνές μικρών μωρών, πολλές φωνές, και ο τόπος σειόταν. Πάνω τους υπήρχε άμμος με κεριά και κάτω από τα κεριά ακούγονταν οι φωνές των μωρών. Και φώναζαν: «ΣΩΣΕ ΜΑΣ ΘΕΕ, ΘΕΕ ΜΟΥ ΣΩΣΕ ΜΑΣ!» Ο Άγιος Παΐσιος ρώτησε έναν άλλο μοναχό που ήταν κοντά του: «Ποιοι είναι αυτοί που φωνάζουν;» Του απάντησαν: «Είναι τα αγέννητα αθώα παιδιά που οι μητέρες και οι γιατροί, χωρίς να το θέλουν, τα χάνουν. Επειδή είναι αβάπτιστα πηγαίνουν σε έναν τόπο όπου οι δαίμονες δεν μπορούν να τα πειράξουν, γιατί είναι αθώα. Αλλά είναι σκοτάδι, δεν είναι παράδεισος.» Όταν ο Άγιος Παΐσιος ξύπνησε είπε στους ανθρώπους: «Υπάρχουν έμβρυα και υπάρχει ψυχή. Ναι, πρέπει να ανάβετε κεριά για τα ΕΜΒΡΥΑ. Γιατί υπάρχει ψυχή.» ⸻ Ας καταλάβουμε: Ένας άντρας πλησιάζει μια γυναίκα και γίνεται η γονιμοποίηση. Το σπέρμα είναι ζωντανό — αν ήταν νεκρό δεν θα γινόταν γονιμοποίηση. Άρα είναι ζωντανό. Από τη στιγμή της γονιμοποίησης το μωρό λαμβάνει ψυχή. Γονιμοποίηση = ζωντανή ψυχή + ζωντανό σώμα. Η ψυχή είναι η πνοή του Θεού. Είναι ζωντανό ον. Άρα πρέπει να υπάρχει σεβασμός στα ΕΜΒΡΥΑ.

Δεν λέω ότι ξέρεις ήδη την απάντηση. Αλλά αν δεν υπάρχει Θεός, τότε μένουν κάποια ερωτήματα που πρέπει να σταθούν μόνα τους. Πώς προέκυψε ένα σύμπαν με νόμους που δεν αλλάζουν; Γιατί η ύλη υπακούει σε μαθηματική τάξη; Πώς από απλή ύλη εμφανίζεται συνείδηση — η εμπειρία του “εγώ”; Και γιατί ο άνθρωπος δεν ψάχνει μόνο το “πώς”, αλλά και το “γιατί”; Δεν λέω ότι η απάντηση είναι εύκολη. Λέω όμως ότι η ερώτηση δεν εξαφανίζεται. Και ίσως τελικά, το ζήτημα δεν είναι ποιος “πιστεύει”. Αλλά ποιος αντέχει να δει ότι δεν έχουν εξηγηθεί όλα. — I’m not saying you already have the answer. But if there is no God, then some questions still remain. How did a universe governed by consistent laws come into existence? Why does matter follow mathematical order? How does mere matter give rise to consciousness — the experience of “I”? And why does human thought search not only for “how”, but for “why”? I’m not claiming the answer is easy. I’m saying the question doesn’t go away. And maybe the issue is not who “believes”. But who is willing to admit that not everything is explained.

When you die, my child, many will fight against the priests. And the high priests will not allow any priest to speak on his own—only what they tell him. The high priests will begin writing the sermons, and the priests will simply have to read them. In that time, they will even remove the cross from the sanctuaries. When you see these things, know that the great evil has begun. Priests will no longer be free to speak easily. That is why I will give my spirit to simple children, to boys and girls. After your death, many will want to learn what you said, and the evil one will begin to distort your words in order to bring confusion into people’s minds. Sadly, because our Church is poor, it is controlled by foreign money, and behind it stands the Vatican. That is why, it is said, all the church leaders have been given a noose. God says they have been given a noose and are being pulled like dogs. Soon there will be a new and great evil in the Church, unlike anything before, and the whole Church will be shaken as if by a massive earthquake. It will not be a normal earthquake, but something far greater. At that time, all people, all Christians, will not know where to go or what to do. But remember what Christ says: in My name you were baptized as Christians; in My name you became priests. I will be your true Father of the Church. And remember that the Church is not the buildings that are constructed but your hearts. Time will pass, and people will come to understand who truly governs the world. Then they will see how harsh and evil the Antichrist is. If they do not make the sign of the cross, how will I bless them and remove the poisons placed in their bodies? When they do not have holy water, they will take ordinary water. They will not say “in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,” yet I will bless that water, and when they drink it, their bodies will be blessed, and their minds will be cleansed.

Every Thursday and Friday—except, as I told you, for the 40 days after Epiphany—it cannot be performed on September 14th, which is the Feast of the Holy Cross. People would very often ask you to destroy others, especially in matters of inheritance involving large fortunes. Unfortunately, as I remember, during the periods of Holy Thursday and Holy Friday—when major magical rituals take place—even a person could be killed through magic. Of course, there are certain conditions that people should know: if God does not allow it, nothing can happen. For someone to be affected—even to the point of death—they must already be spiritually indifferent, hardened, and have rejected Christ from their heart. That is, they have completely turned away and placed themselves in the hands of the devil. So, if God allows it, and at some point it becomes evident—even to us—that death will occur, then there is a ritual that can be performed, and within 24 hours the person may die. —Have you performed such a ritual in an apartment in Athens? —Yes, of course. —Did your teacher only remove spells, or also cast them? —Mostly he cast them. And to tell the truth, he never removed them, because he couldn’t. He even told me that—“we can never undo them,” because that belongs to a higher authority, namely the Church. There were also periods he mentioned to me personally, when I myself was not well—I felt like I was going insane. This was during the period of Epiphany, from the day of Epiphany and for 40 days afterward, because of the great religious event of Christ’s baptism and the sanctification of the waters. All this, as Maros used to say, is why we protected ourselves and endured it by taking pills—sedatives and painkillers—because we had terrible pain, headaches, and a state of mental disturbance during that period. —How is this explained? —As I said, it can be explained better by the Church. It is the great gift that God gives to people—especially Orthodox Christians—through the sanctification that takes place. At that time, all spells are broken as a sign of God’s gift because of the baptism of His Son. That is, even if you had cast spells on someone, everything would be undone. All the written charms, all the bindings—everything would turn to nothing, like ashes and smoke. And we suffered because of this. What stood out is that during that time, both I personally and Maros—who also confessed this—recognized that Christ is indeed more powerful, and so is the Church. But we still couldn’t leave. —What did you tell your clients? —We told them excuses, because they came with serious complaints. They saw everything turning upside down. Even marriages that had been “achieved” through magic were breaking apart. Forgive me, but marriages were dissolving, along with other matters—inheritance cases and everything else. —Is it possible for someone who works as a medium to have a gift from God and help others? —According to the Orthodox Church, absolutely not, because they cooperate with demons. There are even cases where, at the moment magic or divination is being performed, if Christians are praying or a liturgy is taking place, all their rituals are immobilized. —Does the victim of magic have symptoms, and what are they? —First of all, anyone involved in such practices is cut off from the body of the Church. Secondly, they are exposed to evil spirits that operate within the realm of magic. There are many cases where even the practitioners themselves suffer greatly from the spirits they invoke. In other cases, people fall ill or suffer mental disturbance. —Finally, Father Daniel, how can someone be immune to magic throughout their life? —The way is to live a sacramental life. That is, to be a conscious member of the Church: to have a spiritual father, to confess, to receive Holy Communion, to study Scripture and the writings of the Church Fathers, and so on.

This is a well-known text from the books published about Elder Paisios, Saint Paisios the Athonite. From “Spiritual Awakening” (Discourses II), published by the Holy Hesychasterion of Saint John the Theologian in Souroti, Thessaloniki, around page 188. Listen: a nun once asked Elder Paisios, while he was still alive, “Elder, in these difficult times, will Christ intervene?” It’s the same question people ask today. The same question was asked even before 1994, when he reposed—30 years ago. Even then, people felt the times were difficult. Imagine what he would say about our times today. So the nun asks again: “Elder, in these difficult times, will Christ intervene?” And listen to the vision Paisios had. He was a prophet—not only did he have a prophetic gift (which others also had), but he also had the gift of interpreting prophecy. Here he answers someone who is suffering unjustly but has a good disposition. Because such a person deserves divine help, many times the saints, the Virgin Mary, or Christ Himself appear to save them. How much more now, when the poor world will be in such a difficult state? “What is coming,” he says, “will be like a storm.” Listen carefully—he says the following: “There will be a short ‘occupation’ by the Antichrist, by Satan. Then a ‘slap’ from Christ.” All nations will be shaken, and peace will come to the world for many years. This time, Christ will give an opportunity for His creation to be saved. Will Christ abandon His creation? No. He will appear at humanity’s dead end in order to save people from the hands of the Antichrist. People will return to Christ, and a spiritual peace will come over the whole world for many years. Do you hear what awaits us? These things are said for our own generation. Again—he said this 30 years ago. A spiritual peace will come over the whole world for many years. But first, he says, there will be a shaking of all nations. All nations will be shaken. These are no longer local problems. Notice—they are not national issues; they are global. Some people, he says—pay close attention—connect this intervention of Christ with the Second Coming. “I cannot say that,” he says. See how humble and discerning the saint was. “My thought tells me that this will not be the Second Coming of Christ as Judge, but rather an intervention of Christ.” Because there are still many events that have not yet taken place—he is referring to the events of the Apocalypse. Therefore, we cannot yet speak about the Antichrist in that final sense.

*The vision of Saint Niphon regarding the Second Coming has something to tell all of us, to every class of people, from bishops down to the last layperson. * One night, after the Saint finished his customary nightly prayer, he lay down to sleep on the stones. As always, it was midnight, and he was still keeping vigil, gazing at the moon and the stars in the sky. Alone as he was, he reflected on his sins. What sins? And yet he wept bitterly because he brought to mind the fearful hour of judgment. Suddenly, he sees the firmament of heaven being drawn back like a sheet, and the Lord Jesus Christ appears in enormous proportions. He stood in the air, surrounded by all the heavenly hosts—angels, archangels, and fearsome and exalted ranks arranged in perfect order. The Lord signaled to the commander of one rank, and he approached—radiant, awe-inspiring, yet reverent. “Michael, Michael, prince of the Covenant, take with your rank the fiery throne of My glory and go to the valley of Jehoshaphat. There you shall set it as the first sign of My presence. For the hour is near when each one will receive according to his works. And the moment has quickly come when I will judge those who worshiped idols, the devil, and denied Me, their Creator. All of them will be shattered like vessels, as will My enemies—the heretics who dared to separate Me from My Father, who dared to reduce the Comforter Spirit to a creature. What hell awaits them? Now I will appear to the Jews who crucified Me and did not believe in My divinity. All authority, honor, and power have been given to Me. I am the righteous Judge. When I was on the Cross, they said: ‘He saved others; let Him save Himself.’ Now vengeance is Mine; I will repay. I will judge, I will expose, and I will punish the wicked and perverse generation severely, because it did not repent. I gave them opportunities to repent, but they despised them. Therefore, now I will take vengeance. I will do the same to the Sodomites, to those who commit perversions and who polluted the earth and the air with their stench. I burned them then in Sodom and Gomorrah, and again I will burn them because they defiled the pleasure of the Holy Spirit and loved the pleasure of the devil. I will also punish the adulterers, the foolish and darkened ones who resemble irrational beasts. They were not content with their lawful marriage but foolishly turned to adultery, and Satan cast them bound into the abyss of fire. They did not hear that ‘it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.’ I called them to repentance, yet they did not repent. I will also condemn the thieves who committed many evils, even murders, and all those who committed a multitude of sins. I granted everyone opportunities to change, but they paid me no attention. Where are their good works? I showed them the prodigal son as an example and many others so that they would not despair in their sins, but they despised My commandments and denied Me. They turned away from Me and loved debauchery. They loathed Me and became enslaved to sin. Let them therefore go into the flame which they themselves kindled. But also those who died holding grudges, I will hand over to terrible torment. A resentful person remembers the evil done to him and never forgets it. They did not desire My peace was lost, and I lived in anger, bitterness, and wrath. The greedy, the usurers, and the lovers of money—I will destroy and pour out all My wrath upon them, because they placed their hope in gold and ignored Me, as if I did not know how to care for them. And those false Christians who claimed that there is no resurrection of the dead or that there is reincarnation—I will melt them down to Gehenna like wax. Then they will be convinced of the resurrection of the dead. The poisoners, the sorcerers, and all like them will be tortured mercilessly. Woe also to those who get drunk, revel, sing, dance, mock, and imagine evil things. I called them, and they did not listen; they mocked me. Now the worm will gnaw at their heart. I granted mercy and repentance to all, but no one paid attention. I will also cast into darkness those who despised the Holy Scriptures, which My Spirit wrote through the Saints. I will also judge those who deal in superstitions and place their hope in knives, axes, sickles, and similar things. Then they will learn that they should have hoped in God and not in the creations of God. They will be troubled and protest, but they will have no power, for vengeance is Mine; I will repay. I will also punish the kings and rulers who continually grieved Me with their injustices. They judged unjustly and arrogantly, despising people. They accepted bribes, but my authority does not accept bribes. For their injustice, I will destroy them. Then they will understand that I am the One who removes the authority of rulers, that I am more fearsome than all the kings of the earth. Woe to them—what punishment awaits them, because their teeth were set on edge and they shed innocent blood, the blood of their children and daughters. And what wrath shall I bring upon the hirelings who were not true shepherds, who devastated My vineyard and scattered My sheep? They cared for gold and silver, not for souls, and sought the priesthood for profit. How great will be their punishment, how great their lamentation! I will pour out all My anger upon them and crush them. I will punish their lawlessness with a rod and their injustices with scourges. Also, the priests who laugh or quarrel within My holy churches—what shall I do to them? I will condemn them to fire and Tartarus. I came, and I am coming. Whoever has strength, let him confront Me. But woe to him who, being sinful, falls into My hands. For each one will appear before Me naked and exposed. Where will the shamelessness of sinners appear then? How will they face My countenance? Where will they place their shame? They will be disgraced before My pure powers. Now I will also judge those monks who neglected their duties and betrayed the promises they made before God, angels, and men. They promised one thing and did another. From the height to which they ascended, I will cast them down into the abyss. It was not enough for them to destroy themselves, but they also caused a deadly scandal for others. It would have been better for them not to renounce the world than to renounce it and live burdened with sins. Vengeance is Mine; I will repay those who did not wish to repent. I will judge them as a just judge." These words, which the Lord proclaimed to the Archangel Michael, filled the countless angelic hosts with fear. Then He commanded that the seven ages of the world be brought before Him. Michael carried out the command and went immediately to the house of the Covenant and brought them. They were great books, which he placed before the judge. Then he stood aside reverently, watching as the Lord opened and examined the history of all ages. He took the first page, opened it, and read: “The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—God in three persons. From the Father, the Son was begotten. By the Word of the Father, the ages were made. The bodiless powers were created, the sea, the rivers, and all things within them.”

Here is the site of Panagia of Zodochos Pigi, also called Panagia of Glossa. It is located about 15–20 minutes from the main road. It lies south of the village of Kellaki, about 5 minutes away. The area is called “Listogonos Mountain,” and it received this name because in old times, pirate ships used to stop there after carrying out raids. The robbers would escape to this mountain to hide, since it was difficult to access. In the past, there was a small village here, which was later abandoned. The inhabitants moved further down. Perhaps this happened because of the raids, to stay hidden, or maybe because of the cold—we do not know. Many ruins remained here, which people called “ruined houses.” Gradually, as people began cultivating gardens in the area, they cleared the land. The first church that existed here was a small chapel, serving as a rural chapel of the village. Some historians date it to the 12th century, others to the 15th century—we are not certain. As we said, this was originally a chapel of Zoodochos Pigi (Life-Giving Spring). Later, the residents leveled the area, intending to use it either for storage or construction. However, in 1976, the metropolitan bishop requested the land to establish a monastery. The local community agreed, along with the priest, and gave the land for this purpose. Thus, in 1976, it became a monastery. Four nuns came from Saint George Domanos, and the monastery began as a communal women’s monastery. Later, the large church of the Holy Trinity was built, which is now the main church (katholikon) of the monastery. It is a beautiful Byzantine-style church. The wooden carvings inside are handmade, dating from around the 1800s. They are remarkable works of art, with symbolic representations such as the phoenix, the vine, and the peacock. These carvings are of great value. The Church of the Holy Trinity was built by the priest of Saint Tychon, Father Kyriakos, together with his wife. Later, other chapels were built, including the chapel of All Saints next to the Holy Trinity. Also, on the first floor of the monastery, there are chapels dedicated to Saint Savvas and Saint Ambrose. There are also many accounts of miracles. A couple once brought their six-year-old child, who could not speak. They stayed overnight at the monastery and prayed to the Virgin Mary for their child to speak. The next morning, at dawn, the child woke up and said, “Mom, I want milk,” even though he had never spoken before. This was considered a miracle of Panagia, and many such miracles have occurred. Another man came recently and said that after praying and repeating the prayer three times for his child, the child’s tongue was opened, and he began to speak. We should also mention the holy water (hagiasma) found here at Zoodochos Pigi. It flows from a rock behind the monastery. However, for easier access, it has been brought to a fountain in front because it is difficult to reach the back. In another case, the Virgin Mary appeared in a dream to a woman who was in the final stages of cancer. She told her to come there, describing the route with turns, and said, “There you will find me, Panagia of Glossa, and my daughters (the nuns) who care for me.” When the woman arrived, she recognized the place exactly as shown in the dream, and her cancer was completely healed. Another woman brought her daughter, who was about to undergo surgery for tumors in her neck. A prayer (paraklesis) was performed, asking the Virgin Mary to perform a miracle. The next day, the girl returned running with her arms open, saying, “I have nothing! They took me for surgery, and there was nothing.” The Virgin Mary had performed a miracle. The girl still visits the monastery and celebrates Panagia with great joy. There was also a nine-year-old child from Russia who had never spoken a single word. After a prayer service and anointing with oil, the child began to speak fluently, as if he had always spoken, with no problem at all. The feast of Panagia here is celebrated on the Friday of Bright Week, the week after Easter, known as Renewal Week. That Friday is dedicated to Zoodochos Pigi. Here, she is also known as Panagia of Glossa. There is also a celebration on Thomas's birthday. Many people come bringing offerings, often silver tokens, asking for miracles. After receiving help, many return to offer silver plaques inscribed with the word “thank you,” expressing their deep gratitude to Panagia.

--- Abdul Hamid gave the order for the tomb of Mehmed the Conqueror, which was located next to the mosque, to be opened in order to check for any damage and make repairs. The tomb was opened, and at a depth of three meters, an iron trapdoor was found. From there, a stone staircase led down into the underground chamber of a Byzantine church. There, to their astonishment, the workers found a marble tomb containing the embalmed body of Mehmed—identical to the portrait painted by the Italian artist a few months before his death. This fact—that Mehmed was buried within the ruins of a Byzantine church—has been considered by many as strong evidence that he wished to be buried as a Christian and Byzantine emperor, among the other Byzantine rulers. It is known that Mehmed often claimed to be the successor of the Byzantine emperors. Sultan Abdul Hamid II, who, for political reasons at the time, had abandoned a certain Islamic sect he had followed and had adopted Sunni Islam, was seized with panic and ordered the tomb to be immediately sealed. These events took place before 1908, and since then, the tomb has never been opened again. For this reason, it is difficult today to verify the testimony. However, on December 19, 1996, a Turkish weekly publication associated with the well-known newspaper Sabah was released with the striking headline: “The Conqueror was a Christian.” The subtitle read: “Historians have not been able to solve this mystery to this day.” Many centuries after the death of the great Fatih—Mehmed the Conqueror, as he is historically known—it is also known that he had a Christian mother, most likely of Greek origin. The fact that in modern Turkey—where Islamic identity is strongly re-emerging—such reports are published is seen by some as evidence of doubt about Mehmed’s true religious identity, even within the official Turkish establishment. This becomes even more significant when we consider that Fatih Mehmed is one of the greatest taboos of Turkish history, nationalism, and identity. A leader like him was expected to embody not only national pride but also religious identity. And yet, inside his tomb, it is claimed, lies one of the greatest secrets of the Ottoman Empire. There were testimonies stating that next to the tomb there was a cross and an icon of the Virgin Mary. According to these claims, Mehmed the Conqueror may have embraced Christianity at the end of his life—something carefully concealed by official Turkish historiography. From his early childhood, he had contact with Christianity through his Christian mother. It is one of the great historical mysteries how a relatively small number of Seljuk Turks and Ottomans who arrived in Asia Minor between the 9th and 10th centuries managed, within a few centuries, to change the entire ethnic and religious character of a region inhabited by millions—many say up to 20 million—Greek-speaking Orthodox Christians. There are many explanations. Some say it was forced Islamization through violence, while others say it occurred for practical and economic reasons. However, because this process of religious conversion was often incomplete and superficial, a unique characteristic remained within Turkish Islam—one that some consider a heterodox element. Today, this is being increasingly discussed by Turkish journalists and researchers under the term “the religious problem of modern Turkey.” On November 10, 2002, a Turkish newspaper reported that the feast of Saint Nektarios was celebrated inside a Muslim mosque—formerly a Christian church—in Eastern Thrace. Many Turkish Muslims stayed after their prayers to observe the Christian service with great reverence. Similarly, there are reports of Turkish Muslims attending Christian ceremonies, lighting candles, kissing priests’ hands, and seeking blessings from the Virgin Mary. In some cases, even Muslims from other countries, such as Iran and Iraq, visit Orthodox churches in Istanbul, seeking hope, healing, and help for their personal struggles. Some Turkish women have even been reported diving into the water during the Epiphany ceremony to catch the cross—an act deeply rooted in Orthodox Christian tradition. Other reports mention Muslims visiting churches regularly, praying, lighting candles, and asking for miracles. Turkish newspapers have even described certain churches as “places of hope” for Muslims. In recent years, there has also been an increase in conversions to Christianity in Turkey, often among people who later discover they have Christian ancestry. Investigations revealed that many of these individuals had ancestors who were Islamized, especially after the Asia Minor catastrophe, and later rediscovered their Christian roots. There are also remarkable accounts of healing sites, such as sacred springs associated with early Christianity, where both Turks and foreigners visit for healing. In some places, visitors light candles, burn incense, and perform acts that are officially forbidden in Islam. Despite this, such practices continue and are even broadcast on Turkish television. One striking example is the pilgrimage to Saint George on the island of Büyükada, where tens of thousands of Muslim Turks visit the church, light candles, make vows, and seek blessings. Some even walk barefoot up the hill to the church, tying threads along the path as part of a ritual for their wishes. Priests are seen blessing Muslim visitors, sometimes even making the sign of the cross on their foreheads. Finally, there was a mysterious event reported in 1998 on the island of Antigoni, where a strange, sorrowful sound—like a sigh—was heard every night around a church. Residents were alarmed and unable to explain it. Some interpreted it as a supernatural sign, even suggesting it was a message from the Virgin Mary—a lament for the state of the world and the abandonment of faith. The church, once full of Orthodox believers, now stands nearly empty. And this sorrowful “voice” was seen by some as a symbol of that loss. --- If you want, I can: * shorten this into a **powerful narration script** * or turn it into **YouTube documentary style with dramatic pacing**

Prophecy about Crete and Greece by Monk Gennadios. A Greek–Turkish war. Monk Gennadios, like many ascetics of the Church, was filled with divine grace and bore Christ within him. Because of this grace, he prophesied, saw visions, and made predictions. Due to the great apostasy of mankind from God, he taught that the end of the world is approaching: the Second Coming of the Lord. First, the Lord will allow a global war to take place because the world does not repent. This war will be the last, because the destruction will be total. A small state will be the cause of the global war. Perhaps that state will be Cyprus. When the flood of Noah occurred, people drowned in water. Now they will drown in blood. In Constantinople, there will be great slaughter, and the sea will turn red from the blood of the slain. A three-year-old calf will float in the blood, as Saint Kosmas said. This signifies the great massacre, bloodshed, and destruction that will occur. The sky will be filled with airplanes dropping fire and bombs on people. Terrified, people will cry out, "My Panagia, my Panagia.” Constantinople will be taken again by the Greeks, but there will be great killing. Before the war begins, a great Cross will appear in the sky. The Turks will attack. They will cross the Evros River and cause destruction. They will reach Hexamilia, and then we will confront them. Other nations will help us, possibly the Russians and the French. We will drive the Turks back and take the city and Asia Minor. We will pursue them as far as the Red Apple. One third of them will be killed, another third will be driven away, and the remaining third will be baptized. They will be descendants of crypto-Christians. There are still crypto-Christians today, but they will be revealed. The great powers will then claim Constantinople, but it will ultimately be given to the Greeks. Greece will suffer great destruction. There may even be a civil war. Prophecy about Crete. The Turks will come to Crete. They will land at Preveli, Maridaki, and Chondros, near Kaloi Limenes. They will carry out massacres and destruction wherever they pass. In the region of Merambello, there will be great slaughter, and the cries will be heard in the mountains. In the end, the Turks will be defeated and retreat in disorder. Even women will chase them away with simple means. The army will not realize where they will land. There will be fog, so they can land undisturbed. Crete will be destroyed not by bombs, but by sins. Only a small part will remain as a reminder. Foreign forces are trying to remove Greeks from their faith and history. If they abandon it, destruction will come. What happened in Cyprus in 1974 will also happen to us. The Turks are ready, but the time has not yet come. God is waiting for our repentance.

AFTER ERDOGAN

Θα ξεμπαρκάρουν οι Τούρκοι από το νότιο μέρος της Κρήτης, από τα Πρεβελιώτικα (Μοναστήρι Πρέβελη) και από το Μαριδάκι, από το χωριό Χόνδρος, κοντά στους Καλούς Λιμένες Ηρακλείου. Οι Τούρκοι θα κάνουν ένα πέρασμα και από τα μέρη που θα περνούν θα κάνουν γενική σφαγή και καταστροφή. Στην Επαρχία Μεραμβέλλου Λασιθίου, θα γίνει μεγάλο μακελειό και καταστροφή. Το βογγητό και το κλάμα των ανθρώπων θα ακούεται από την Βουβάλα, βουνό στις Μελάμπες Ρεθύμνου.

Ή πνευματική ξηρασία πού βιώνει ό λαός μας θά φέρει ώς φυσικές συνέπειες μεγάλο καταστρεπτικό σεισμό, επιδημίες, εμφυλίους πολέμους. Θά δείτε τίς πολυκατοικίες στήν Αθήνα νά συγκρούονται σάν τά κριάρια καί στίς τρείς ή μία νά μένει όρθια. Θά δείτε τούς καρπούς άπό τά χωράφια σας νά τούς τρώνε σύννεφα άπό ακρίδες καί τά άγρια πουλιά. Θά δείτε ο λαός μας έξ αίτιας αυτών που μας κουβαλήσανε οί Αμερικανοί, δηλαδή των ξένων νά διχάζεται. Θά γίνει εμφύλιος, μ’ αυτούς πού φέρανε εδώ τους ξένους,θα έχουμε μπερδέματα,θα χυθεί αίμα,θα την πληρώσουν άνθρωποι που δεν θα φταίνε.Και μετά θα έρθει δυστυχία,φτώχεια,πείνα,αρρώστιες.Θα δουλεύετε για να πάρετε ένα κομμάτι ψωμί,όλη την ημέρα,ίσα-ίσα το μεροκάματο θα φτάνει.

The Holy Bible warns us that Satan "transforms himself into an angel of light" in order to deceive. The incidents in which Christians, even monks, have fallen victim to illusory demonic apparitions are fully reflected in the document issued by the I.M. Saint Nicodemus "Elderly about dreams and visions". We also know from the Holy Bible that even if "an angel from heaven preaches to us, even if we receive it" "let him be accursed". For this reason, any evangelized union that violates the saving Truth of the Church cannot be accepted, as a messenger of confusion and loss, much more so when it is based on the spirit of our time, which seeks spectacles, not on the "voices of the Spirit". the Holy Fathers, but in the visions of simple Christians, who proclaim themselves Prophets. from the Holy Apostles

ΨΑΛΜΟΙ 91 [90] Κάτω απ’ τη στέγη του Υψίστου 1Όποιος κάτω απ’ τη στέγη του Υψίστου κατοικεί, όποιος στου Παντοκράτορα τον ίσκιο διαμένει, 2ας λέει στον Κύριο: «Κρησφύγετο και φρούριό μου είν’ ο Θεός μου που σ’ αυτόν ελπίζω». 3Αυτός σ’ ελευθερώνει από παγίδα κυνηγού, από τις συκοφαντικές καταγγελίες. 4Με τις φτερούγες του θα σε σκεπάσει, κάτω απ’ το φτέρωμά του θα κρυφτείς· ασπίδα σου και περιτείχισμα θα ’ναι η πιστότητά του. 5Απ’ της νυχτιάς το ρίγος δεν θα φοβηθείς ούτε τη μέρα από αιφνίδιο βέλος, 6από καταστροφή που στο σκοτάδι έρχεται, ή από πανούκλα που θερίζει μέρα μεσημέρι. 7Στ’ αριστερά σου χίλιοι θα πεθάνουν, χιλιάδες δέκα στα δεξιά σου, μα εσένα δε θα σ’ εύρει το κακό. 8Τα μάτια σου μονάχα θα θωρούν να δουν των ασεβών την τιμωρία. 9Γιατί εσύ λες: «Ο Κύριος είναι το κρησφύγετό μου». Τον Ύψιστο τον έβαλες προστάτη σου. 10Κακό κανένα δε θα πέσει πάνω σου και συμφορά δε θα σιμώσει τη σκηνή σου. 11Αυτός διατάζει τους αγγέλους του για χάρη σου, να σε φυλάνε όπου κι αν πας. 12Θα σε σηκώσουνε στα χέρια τους, να μη σκοντάψει το πόδι σου σε πέτρα. 13Θα περπατάς απάνω σε λιοντάρια και σε φίδια· με το πόδι σου θα συντρίβεις τα λιονταράκια και τους δράκοντες. 14«Εγώ θα σώσω εκείνον» –λέει ο Κύριος– «που πάνω μου στηρίζεται· θα τον υψώσω, γιατί ξέρει ποιος είμαι. 15Μ’ επικαλείται και του αποκρίνομαι, μαζί του είμ’ εγώ στη θλίψη· θα τον λυτρώνω και θα τον δοξάζω. 16Χρόνους πολλούς θα του δώσω να ζήσει και θα τον κάνω να δει πως ο σωτήρας του είμαι εγώ».

In Revelation, St. John the Theologian sees the war of the 200 million cavalries, which kills a third of the people, take place. Evil affects souls and bodies (like a motorized army). (Rev. 9:16). After this war, the 2nd Presence of the Lord does not take place, because John manages to tell us that people did not repent, that is, life was extended to humanity, but few took advantage of it to be saved. Father Athanasios Mytilineos also explains this. With a miraculous intervention of God the evil spirits (who led the people into war) are bound to pacify the earth, and to spread the Gospel unadulterated throughout the world, as Revelation writes in chapter 10: 10-1 And I saw another angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud, and the rainbow upon his head, and his face like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire, 10-2 and has a book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left on the earth ... This powerful Angel helps the unstable (like the sea) unbelievers with more power, symbolically using his right foot and with less power (indicated by the left) those (who like the earth) are more stable in faith. 10-5 And the angel, which I saw standing on the sea and on the earth, raised his right hand to heaven 10-6 and swore to Him who lives in the ages to come, who built the heavens and all that exists. in him, and the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, that time no longer exists. That is, there will be no further extension for repentance. The Son is the most trustworthy to swear by the Father because, as we say in the Creed, through Him "all things were made" (by which all things were made), and space and time. And because even the angels in Heaven do not know the day of the Second Coming, as the Lord declared: "And of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." Matt. (24:36). Revelation: 10-11 And they say unto me, (The holy angels which were with the mighty angel). You must again prophesy to peoples and nations and languages and to many kings. Therefore, John, the great Theologian of the Church, assumes the responsibility of the dogmatically unadulterated preaching of the word of God throughout the world in the peaceful period after the War. For, according to the word of the Lord to Peter, John abideth in the earth until the second coming: it follows me ". (John 21:22). That is, if I want him (John) to stay until I come, what do you care? You follow Me; The two prophets Elijah and Enoch are physically present on earth because they did not die, and they will obviously control the Antichrist. John, who also appears in the hagiography, after his metastasis (which the Church celebrates on September 26) is spiritually present and thus will not be killed by the Antichrist, like the two prophets. Because there is not much time left until the Synteleia after the catastrophic war, John's sermon will be very short, as indicated by the "booklet", ie a very small book that symbolically contains it and was given to him by the "Powerful Angel". Definitely, then, the Gospel will be preached again, and in fact unadulterated by ecumenical and other delusions, and this is guaranteed by the Theologian John, who was called to his new mission with the words: "You must prophesy again" ... For our time, before the world war, says Saint Paisios: Now it will be a downpour, a small possession of the antichrist Satan. He will then eat a cuff from Christ, all nations will be shaken and peace will come to the world for many years. This time Christ will give an opportunity to save His creature. Will Christ leave His creature? He will appear at the impasse of the people, to save them from the hands of the (then) antichrist. They will return to Christ and spiritual peace will come throughout the universe for many years. Some associate with this intervention of Christ the Second Coming. I can not say. My reasoning tells me that it will not be the Second Coming of Christ when He comes as Judge, but an intervention of Christ, because there are so many events that have not yet taken place. Christ will intervene, give a cuff to this whole the system, crush all evil, and bring it to good in the end. The streets will be filled with shrines. Outside the buses will have pictures. All people will believe. They will pull you to tell them about Christ! Thus the Gospel will be preached throughout the Universe and then (when this period is completed) Christ will come as Judge to judge the world. Another Crisis, another intervention of Christ, to help His creature! (REASONS II "Spiritual Awakening")

Η Εκκλησία όμως που ίδρυσε ο Κύριος Ιησούς Χριστός, και παρέλαβαν οι Απόστολοι, και συνεχίζει να διατηρείται ανόθευτη μέχρι σήμερα μόνο στην Ορθοδοξία, δεν έγινε από ανθρώπινη προσπάθεια όπως αυτές της Δύσης, και δεν μπορούμε επομένως να προσθέσουμε ή να αφαιρέσουμε εμείς με διαλόγους κάτι από Αυτήν.

Ο Ιησούς είπε....

Ο Ιησούς είπε στις ημέρες του Νώε, έτσι θα είναι με την έλευση του γιου του λόγου για τον οποίο ο Θεός προκάλεσε την πλημμύρα του Νώε ήταν να απαλλαγούμε από όλους τους γιγάντες και υβριδικά δαιμονικά γενετικά μεταλλαγμένα πλάσματα που έκαναν όπως μινώταυροι, κ.λπ.

ORTHODOX TRUTH

ORTHODOX TRUTH Don't make the mistake We live at the end of time, The devil has built a massive number of prophets on earth to speak in the name of Christ, to confuse us, and to drag us out of the Orthodox Church. and to strip us from our weapons which ORTHODOXY CAN PROVIDE TO US. The Holy Spirit will not operate outside the Orthodox Church. You can say whatever you want but the day You die and you stand before the Throne of our Lord then you will find out about the Truth and then it's too late.

The air sphere-to this world

The air sphere is where the demons are doomed to tempt human souls before they turn sent to hell, the final judgment. The demons are of course invisible to the human senses, but the fruits of their actions appear to human misery, chaos, and sin around the world. Even though both demons and angels are beyond the perception of human sense, still belong to the realm of creation and so "to this world." In addition, these spirits are clear forms and are finite in their movements (any quality of infinity that belongs only to God), so, therefore, can be said to have "bodies" in a way similar to the way people do, if not those natural. Fr. Seraphim places particular emphasis, citing too many prominent Orthodox Fathers and spiritual writers, to pray for the dead after because your prayers help some souls reach heaven, calling God's mercy with fervor

True Orthodox Christians are what= He believes in the Trinity. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Has accepted and has confessed that Christ is the Son of God, God-Man Jesus, Emmanuel, and that is the Savior and Redeemer of mankind. Is baptized in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and it is anointed with chrism, symbolizing the gifts and gifts of the Holy Spirit. With his life and deeds, he works every day spiritually and remains a living cell body of the Church. They honor the Virgin Mary and our saints and worship the venerable image of the belief that the veneration goes the original.

βουδιστής ή Χριστός θα επιλέξετε

Ένας βουδιστής μοναχός είχε ακούσει τις φήμες που κυκλοφορούσαν για το γέροντα Παΐσιο και αποφάσισε να τον επισκεφτεί. Όταν τον βρήκε στην καλύβα του, του είπε πως με τη βοήθεια του διαλογισμού ήταν ικανός να αιωρείται στον αέρα. Ο γέροντας δεν τον πίστεψε και απάντησε: “Ο άνθρωπος είναι φτιαγμένος για να πατάει στο χώμα”. Ο βουδιστής τότε έκατσε και διαλογίστηκε και μετά από λίγα λεπτά αιωρήθηκε, δύο μέτρα πάνω από το έδαφος. Ο Παΐσιος μόλις το είδε αυτό κίνησε το χέρι του προς αυτόν, λέγοντας: “Ε, τώρα κάτσε εκεί”! Ο βουδιστής μοναχός έντρομος ανακάλυψε πως δεν μπορούσε να κινηθεί ούτε προς τα πάνω ούτε προς τα κάτω. Ο γέροντας Παΐσιος του εξήγησε πως οι δυνάμεις που του επέτρεπαν να το κάνει αυτό ήταν δαιμονικές και αυτός με τη βοήθεια του Θεού τις εξουδετέρωσε.

Channeling energy

Channeling energy is an age-old occult practice. Demons use energy as one of the ways they can move from place to place. They use this energy movement to transfer from person to person, person to object, etc. It is a form of witchcraft, and it is not a practice that brings a person into alignment with the Spirit of God. Even meditation is a form of moving energy as you are trying to move your energy into a certain direction, thought pattern, or process in order to gain something. That is witchcraft.

Traps

Among the current generation of the highly popular oriental "wise men", Indian gurus, Tibetan lamas, Japanese Zen teachers, etc. ... The essence and purpose of all these "spiritual" nets and traps are always the same: to divert a person from knowing the true God, to repent, to lull and soothe the conscience without confession of sins, concealing the real painful position of the soul, create the illusion of a "spiritual" and physical health ... All these teachings are spiritual anesthesia ... Eastern religions inspire the sick person to be healthy, the awakening of faith in perfection and divinity, and nourish pride, by the action of evil spirits generously presents the most exquisite and pleasant "spiritual comfort" his "vision", "Beatitudes" experiences, "peace", "peace" and "infinity".

«Σ’ εσάς όμως, φίλοι μου, λέω: Μη φοβηθείτε αυτούς που σκοτώνουν το σώμα και ύστερα δεν μπορούν τίποτα περισσότερο να κάνουν. Να σας πω ποιον να φοβηθείτε: το Θεό, που έχει την εξουσία να σας ρίξει στην κόλαση μετά το φυσικό θάνατο. Σας βεβαιώνω πως αυτόν πρέπει να φοβάστε. Τα πέντε σπουργίτια δεν πουλιούνται για δύο μόνο ασσάρια; Κι όμως ο Θεός ούτε ένα απ’ αυτά δεν ξεχνάει. Ο Θεός έχει μετρημένες ακόμα και τις τρίχες της κεφαλής σας. Μη φοβάστε, λοιπόν, γιατί αξίζετε περισσότερο από πολλά σπουργίτια.» «Σας βεβαιώνω πως όποιος ομολογήσει μπροστά στους ανθρώπους ότι ανήκει σ’ εμένα, το ίδιο θα κάνει γι’ αυτόν και ο Υιός του Ανθρώπου κατά την τελική κρίση, μπροστά στους αγγέλους του Θεού. Όποιος όμως με απαρνηθεί μπροστά στους ανθρώπους, θα τον απαρνηθεί και ο Υιός του Ανθρώπου μπροστά στους αγγέλους του Θεού, κατά την τελική κρίση. Όποιος μιλήσει προσβλητικά κατά του Υιού του Ανθρώπου, ο Θεός θα τον συγχωρήσει· όποιος όμως προσβάλει το Άγιο Πνεύμα, ο Θεός δε θα τον συγχωρήσει. Όταν σας οδηγήσουν μπροστά στις συναγωγές ή στις πολιτικές αρχές, μην αγωνιάτε για το πώς θα απολογηθείτε ή τι θα πείτε, γιατί το Άγιο Πνεύμα θα σας φωτίσει εκείνη τη στιγμή τι θα πρέπει να πείτε»

Here knowledgeable authorities on the Jewish Kabbalah:

Kabbalah contains such power and demonic teaching is more than enough to give the ideology and the driving force needed to mislead the world and to keep such an evil conspiracy alive through the centuries ... The Kabbalah is a source of Freemasons' teaching as well as other groups. Kabbalah: The sacred books of black magic Judaism which constitute a large part of the base of the western secret societies, from Rosicrucians to Freemasonry and the OTO. Kabbalah is the same as the magic of ancient Babylon and Egypt ... Pharaonic. Kabbalah is a system of Jewish mysticism and magic and is the fundamental element of modern magic. Almost all great witches and magicians of this century were Kabbalists. - William J. Schnoebelen, The Dark Side of Freemasonry The Jewish Kabbalah is a series of apocryphal writings that are so demonic and every spell ever in magic. Webster's dictionary the Kabbalah tells us is "an occult religious philosophy developed by some Jewish scholars

Does the Bible says that we are saved only by faith;

Does the Bible says that the Bible is the complete revelation of God? No, it says. Does the Bible says that we are saved only by faith? No, it says. But what Scripture says is: 1 Timothy 3:15, "but if I tarry long, that know how men should behave in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." in John 14:26 "But the Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you." (Our Jesus said that full disclosure will reveal the Holy spirit) is James 2:26 "26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith without works is dead." Bible is clear, we must follow the church of Jesus. Catholic church does not belong to the Pope or the bishops or priests, Catholic church belongs to Jesus and every body is welcome to participate in this is why Jesus found him saved us.

Patience in trials based on internal humility recognizes that the world will have tribulations. Nobody, after all, has spent his life without a trial, some pain, some regret. Everyone, "whatever position we have under the sun," accepts the consequences of a panhuman transient state. Nature lost our beauty, health, and divine harmony. Could not God n 'indifferent vengeance and leave us alone, because we wanted to live without Him. His love exceeds our logic and perception, so it converts the sorrows into drugs and tests on remedies.

Elders of Zion are exercised through universal misfortunes by foretells the certain and already near future of mankind or by raising the curtain for the last act of the world tragedy. Only the light of Christ and the Holy Universal Church can not fathom the abyss of Satan and disclose the extent of malice. I feel in my heart that the hour has already struck when there should urgently convene an eighth ecumenical council that will unite the pastor and representatives of all Christendom. Secular quarrels and schisms will all be forgotten in the imminent need to prepare against the coming of Antichrist. The provision of Sergios Nile is even more remarkable when one considers that appeared in the Epilogue version of the Protocols of 1905.]BUT BEFORE ALL THIS,WE WILL HAVE THE PREVAIL OF ORTHODOXY,FOR SEVERAL YEARS,AND THE DISAPPEARANCE OF TURKEY FROM THE MAP.Σας προσκαλούμε όλους να έρθουν και να συμμετάσχουν, στη μόνη αλήθεια. Ο Χριστός είναι ΟΡΘΟΔΟΞΟΣ-We invite you all to come and join,into the only truth. CHRIST IS ORTHODOX

To δόγμα του Κάρμα και Μετενσάρκωση

Ο Χριστός νίκησε το θάνατο, όχι με την απελευθέρωση από το σώμα, αλλά και με την ανάσταση και την αθανασία τοu σώματος .To δόγμα του Κάρμα και Μετενσάρκωση ακυρώνει το μυστήριο του Χριστού σωτηρια .Ενώπιον ο αιώνιος Κριτής θα σταθεί ο άνθρωπος όχι μόνο η ψυχή, αλλά και ως ένα σώμα, το δόγμα της μετενσάρκωσης, που αξιολογεί αρνητικά το σώμα, όχι μόνο να ακυρώσει την ελπίδα στο Χριστό, η χριστιανική, αλλά και την αίσθηση της θείας λατρείας, το βασικό σκοπό της Θείας Ευχαριστίας, ποιο είναι το σημείο να υποφέρουν σε αυτή τη ζωή, αν δεν έχετε καμία ανάκληση της προηγούμενης λάθη τη ζωή σου, ποιο είναι το όφελος από εσάς σε αυτή τη ζωή, και θα πρέπει να έρθει και πάλι, έχοντας τον ίδιο, πράγμα για μια στιγμή αυτό είναι πράγματα του διαβόλου, ο οποίος θέλει να σας αποσπάσει την προσοχή από την αλήθεια

Ορθοδοξία

Οἱ Τοῦρκοι

Οἱ Τοῦρκοι θὰ φύγουν, ἀλλὰ θὰ ξανάρθουν πάλι καὶ θὰ φθάσουν ὡς τὰ Ἑξαμίλια. Στὸ τέλος θὰ τοὺς διώξουν εἰς Κόκκινη Μηλιά. Ἀπὸ τοὺς Τούρκους τὸ 1/3 θὰ σκοτωθῆ, τὸ ἄλλο τρίτο θὰ βαπτισθῆ καὶ μονάχα τὸ 1/3 θὰ πάη στὴν Κόκκινη Μηλιά». Η προφητεία αυτή του Αγίου αναφέρει ότι το ένα τρίτο των Τούρκων θα βαπτισθεί. Είναι αξιοσημείωτο, ότι σήμερα ήδη μεταξύ των Τούρκων υπάρχουν πολλοί Κρυπτοχριστιανοί. Πολλοί προσκυνητές, κυρίως Ρώσοι, φτάνοντας στην Τουρκία διηγούνται ότι κατά τη διάρκεια της παραμονής τους εκεί, έρχονται σ’ αυτούς άνθρωποι ζητώντας εικόνες, προσευχητάρια και αναζητούν την ευκαιρία να εξομολογηθούν και να κοινωνήσουν.

Η αθανασία της ψυχής

Αν απομονώσουμε έναν άνθρωπο και ένα χιμπατζή, για τα 100 χρόνια διάστημα, και πάμε μετά για να δείτε και να ελέγξετε και τα δύο, θα δούμε στην περίπτωση του ανθρώπου, που έχει βελτιωθεί σε όλα . τη 2η Περίπτωση του πιθήκου -Θα δούμε ότι ο πίθηκος είναι στο ίδιο επίπεδο συνειδητότητας, δεν έχει αυτό το κάτι δεδομένο από το Θεό οποs o άνθρωπος έχει.

The time that Orthodoxy will prevail is near

We know that it is not only natural laws but also spiritual. Therefore, the wrath of God can not be addressed by cooperative sinners (why double rage will become), but by repentance and adherence to orders Lord. Elder Sophronius of Mount Athos (1993) told Essex, England like Saint Paisius: "The Union of Churches is difficult if not impossible for them. speak for the Union Churches do not know the mentality of the heterodox or level Orthodoxy. Saint Paisius the above knowledge was, advises everyone to be more restrained, because there will be a time when the Lord will present the Marcus Polite and fast palms to gather all SCANDALISED our brethren, to confess the Orthodox faith, to clinch tradition and give great joy to our Mother. Essentially the elder prophesying a truly Orthodox Synod Perhaps the 8th. Ecumenical Council for which prophesied to become the Holy Nile Myrovlytis: Then he made it to the eighth meeting and wants to choose good from evil, ie Orthodoxy, as the farmer selects the wheat from the chaff. and Then make peace little people again will change the agreement in their evil... Peace in the world can not come without a peacemaker, living, and unadulterated teaching of Orthodhttps://assets.grammarly.com/emoji/v1/1f454.svgoxy. Dissemination, However, continued after the fall of City, to a degree, it should be maximized and will officially spread dynamically after the 3rd World War General War as MENTIONED Agios Kosmas of Aetolia. This will be the period glimpse of Orthodoxy, for a short time, because then start again people are lured into evil.

Time to wake up

It is here, taken over the whole world, and control all media and entertainment and telecommunications to you can not find other Human nations and organize it could. ATT, Verizon, T Mobile, Comcast, Dish TV, TV, all TV networks, and movie studios, of Tainies As Google, Yahoo, and all the Internet belongs Jews. All Telecom is owned and controlled by the Jews, so You will never understand the truth. And since banks were controlled by the Jews and the Jewish Banking Laws allowed them Jews to make money by lending money or money is their debt It also has the highest educational system and all banks lend money for higher education and the fact that the debt is money in banking world $ 1 trillion in student loan debt is actually 100 trillion in new money for the Hebrew Jewish banks. But stupid people, you try to find out who is the richest man every time. After a few years, they will possess your soul, with the Coming fucking Antichrist, and will have no fucking idea what is happening

Time of our death

The realm of the air is where the demons are condemned to tempt human souls before they are in turn sent to hell at the Last Judgment. Demons are of course invisible to human senses but the fruits of their actions are shown in the human misery, chaos and sin enveloping the world. Even though both demons and angels are beyond general human sense perception, they still belong to the realm of creation and thus "to this world." Furthermore, these spirits have definite forms and are finite in their movements (any quality of infinity belonging to God alone), so therefore they can be said to have "bodies" in a similar manner to the way humans do, if not physical ones. Fr. Seraphim places special emphasis, citing a great many prominent Orthodox Fathers and spiritual writers, on praying for the dead after because prayers help some souls attain to heaven by calling upon God's mercy with fervor

On Catholics, ECUMENISM,Sects -ORTHODOX Elder Arsenie Papacioc from this_is_ortodoxy on Vimeo.

ORTHODOXY is the only true religion! All the other so-called "christian churches" changed very very many things in Christianity.. Catholicism changes and ajusts doga every day(a metaphore, but you got the idea). Orthodoxy has remain pure and unchanged since the 7 ecumenical councils at the dawn of Christianity. Catholics left us, and after them, the protestants split from them and driifted farther away from the true essence of Christianity, and then the anglicans, penticostals, baptists, etc, etc.... Now there are hundreads or even thousand of so-called "christian churches".Catholics are the origin of all the sects today. It is a saying... " There were three Great falls in history: 1)The fall of Satan 2)The fall of Adam 3)The fall of the first Pope in 1054! " But the Truth is only one, and is found in the only Church founded by the 12 apostols. The Orthodox Church. Orthodox =The Right Faith Ortho = Right,Unchanged Dox = Dogma,Faith All the thousands of so-called christian churches starting with Catholicism lost Apostolic descendence. They are anathematised, because they changed the Faith.

Άλλο οι ψευδοθρησκείες που είναι φαντασία των ιδρυτών τους και άλλο ο Χριστός ο οποίος είναι ο Ίδιος ο Θεός! Τα θαύματα Του Χριστού δεν σταματάνε κ γίνονται αντιληπτά κ από αλόθρησκους ακόμη όπως π.χ το Μέγα Θαύμα Του Αγίου Φωτός το οποίο ανάβει τα καντήλια του Πανίερου Ναού Της Αναστάσεως που βρίσκονται ψηλά στο ναό ενώ τα πρώτα λεπτά δεν καίει! Επίσης ο Αγιασμός δεν χαλάει ενώ τα λείψανα των Αγίων ευωδειάζουν θαυματουργούν και πολλά είναι άφθαρτα!----Don't pay attention,to every heretic,deceiver,who tells you about,reincarnation,the devils are using them for deception

η ομοφυλοφιλία

κληρονομήσιμο δεν σημαίνει κληρονομικό.

η γενετική έρευνα που είναι πραγματικά σοβαρή εντοπίζει και εστιάζεται σε χαρακτηριστικά που είναι άμεσα κληρονομικά.

Κληρονομικό χαρακτηριστικό σημαίνει ότι είναι «άμεσα καθορισμένο από τα γονίδια» και δεν μπορεί να επηρεαστεί από το περιβάλλον. Τέτοια είναι σωματικά χαρακτηριστικά όπως το σχήμα των νυχιών ή το χρώμα των ματιών. Αντιθέτως, ελάχιστα χαρακτηριστικά της συμπεριφοράς του ανθρώπου είναι άμεσα κληρονομικά.

Η πλειοψηφία των έγκριτων επιστημόνων τώρα πιστεύουν ότι η ομοφυλοφιλία οφείλεται σε ένα συνδυασμό ψυχολογικών, κοινωνικών και βιολογικών παραγόντων.

Πολλοί επιστήμονες έχουν την άποψη ότι ο σεξουαλικός προσανατολισμός παγιώνεται στους περισσότερους ανθρώπους σε μικρή ηλικία μέσα από περίπλοκες αλληλεπιδράσεις βιολογικών, ψυχολογικών και κοινωνικών παραγόντων

with the help of the Church

Some souls then descended from Hades to Paradise with the help of the Church, not alone and certainly not all ... now who and to what extent? Let us liken Hades with an ocean. In the light path of the water from the sea surface to a depth of Fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty rarely Thirty meters there is the so-called light beam, where the sun rays penetrate and even a little light there is. From then on down there Erebus, the actual the eternal darkness. So at this time (mean of Hell stay of non saved) there are as many souls to Hades to penetrate the Divine Liturgy and little -siga can raise more and more over. So once the series moves to Paradise

True Orthodox Christians is what=

He believes in the Trinity. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Has accepted and has confessed that Christ is the Son of God, God-Man Jesus, Emmanuel, and that is the Savior and Redeemer of mankind. Is baptized in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and it is anointed with chrism, symbolizing the gifts and gifts of the Holy Spirit. With his life and deeds, he works every day prokoptei spiritually and remains a living cell body of the Church. They honor the Virgin Mary and our saints and worship the venerable image of the belief that the veneration goes the original.

"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white vote with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it." (Book of Revelation 2:17). According to the Book of Revelation, the mark of the beast seems to be a form of money. "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding vote the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man, and his (its) number is Six hundred threescore and six." (Book of Revelation 13:16-13:18)

Father Seraphfim Rose

“Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind”—is a rather daunting theme to talk about, because it is so vast and all-encompassing. It touches on the whole purpose of our lives as Orthodox Christians. Our Lord Jesus Christ said: I have chosen you out of the world (John 15:19). We have been called out of this world in order to become citizens of another world: the Kingdom of God. That Kingdom begins now, in this life, continues after we leave this world, and will reach its consummation at the Second Coming of our Savior. In order to dwell in that Kingdom, to be its citizens, we must be transformed. Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind (Rom. 12:2). These words from the Epistle of the Holy Apostle Paul to the Romans help to introduce a Divinely inspired teaching on spiritual transformation. In this talk, I will speak first about the theological meaning of transformation in the Orthodox Church. -In Orthodoxy, salvation means not simply changing God’s attitude, but changing ourselves and being changed by God. Salvation ultimately means deification; and deification, as we have seen, entails transformation. It is being united with God ever more fully through His Grace, His Uncreated Energy, in which He is fully present. As we participate ever more fully in God’s life through His Grace, we become ever more deified, ever more in the likeness of Christ. Then, at the time of our departure from this life, we can dwell forever with Christ in His Kingdom because we “look like Him” spiritually, because we are shining with the Grace of God.

εβραϊκή Καμπαλά:

Η Καμπάλα περιέχει τέτοια εξουσία και δαιμονική διδασκαλία, είναι περισσότερο από αρκετό για να δώσει την ιδεολογία και την κινητήρια δύναμη που χρειάζεται για να παραπλανά τον κόσμο και να κρατήσει ένα τέτοιο κακό συνωμοσία ζωντανή μέσα στους αιώνες ... Η Καμπάλα είναι πηγή διδασκαλίας των Ελευθεροτέκτονες, καθώς επίσης και για τις άλλες ομάδες. Καμπάλα: Τα ιερά βιβλία της μαύρης μαγείας του Ιουδαϊσμού που αποτελούν ένα μεγάλο μέρος της βάσης των δυτικών μυστικών εταιριών, από Ροδόσταυροι για Ελευθεροτεκτονισμό και την OTO. Καμπάλα είναι η ίδια που προέρχεται από τη μαγεία της αρχαίας Βαβυλώνας και ... Αίγυπτο φαραωνικού. Καμπάλα είναι ένα σύστημα του ιουδαϊκού μυστικισμού και μαγείας και είναι το θεμελιώδες στοιχείο της σύγχρονης μαγείας. Σχεδόν όλες οι μεγάλες μάγισσες και μάγοι αυτού του αιώνα ήταν Καβαλιστές. - William J. Schnoebelen, Η σκοτεινή πλευρά του Τεκτονισμού Η εβραϊκή Καμπάλα είναι μια σειρά από απόκρυφων συγγράμματα που είναι τόσο δαιμονική και κάθε ξόρκι που έγινε ποτέ στη μαγεία. Λεξικό Webster μας λέει η Καμπαλά είναι "μια απόκρυφη θρησκευτική φιλοσοφία που αναπτύχθηκε από ορισμένους Εβραίοι λόγιοι

επικράτηση των δυνάμεων Αντίχριστου, θα γίνουν οι σατανιστές, όταν έπεσε η "βροχή της φωτιάς", δηλαδή μετά τον 3ο παγκόσμιο πόλεμο και την καταστροφή που θα προκύψει από τα ισχυρά όπλα, πυρηνικά και αλλιώς. Στην πραγματικότητα, δεν θα επικρατήσει Αντίχριστος, αλλά μάλλον ανασταλεί κακό για αρκετά χρόνια. Ακριβώς αυτός ο πόλεμος θα φοβίσει τον κόσμο για να οδηγήσει μια βιαστική λύση σε ένα παγκόσμιο κυβέρνηση, όταν θα ξεκινήσει και πάλι αργότερα για να κάνουν τα όπλα των διαφόρων κρατών. τότε θα εκβιάσει τον κόσμο από τον Σατανά, έτσι για το καλό της ειρήνης απείλησε να εκλεγεί ως παγκόσμιος ηγέτης ο Αντίχριστος. Και παρατηρείται στην εποχή μας ότι αυτοί που καταστρέφουν την ειρήνη είναι εκείνοι που θέλουν τη Νέα Παγκόσμια Τάξη ... και "ειρήνη"!

Αυτό διακηρύττει καθαρά η Αγία Γραφή

Ο ισχυρισμός ότι οι χριστιανοί θα γλιτώσουν την Μεγάλη Θλίψη, επειδή θα αρπαγούν πριν την εμφάνιση του Αντίχριστου, επίσης δεν θεμελιώνεται από την Βίβλο. Η αλήθεια είναι πως οι χριστιανοί θα περάσουν μέσα από την Μεγάλη Θλίψη και την περίοδο κυριαρχίας του Αντίχριστου. Αυτό διακηρύττει καθαρά η Αγία Γραφή

Roman Catholicism has so far had a very distinct piety itself, a piety limited to the "sacred heart", the paposyni, purgatory and indulgences, revelations various "mystics", and the like; and an observant Orthodox observer can detect in such aspects of modern Latin spirituality the practical effects of Rome's theological errors. The fundamentalist (themeliokratikos) Protestantism also has its own approach to prayer, typical of hymns, his approach to religious "revival": all these can identify the application, the religious life of fundamentalist errors in Christian doctrine.

Όπου δεν υπάρχει αληθινή ταπείνωση, εκεί δεν υπάρχουν γνήσιες πνευματικές εμπειρίες. Όπου υπάρχει υπεροψία, εκεί βασιλεύει το πνεύμα της πλάνης, όχι το πνεύμα της αληθείας (Ιακ. δ' 6. Α' Πέτρ. ε' 5). Το πνεύμα της πλάνης είναι υπερήφανο. Η ταπεινή ψυχή παρακαλεί τον Θεό να της δώσει κατάνυξη και συναίσθηση της αμαρτωλότητός της, ακόμη και εάν ο Κύριος την ανεβάζει καθημερινά και της δείχνει ποικιλοτρόπως την αγάπη Του.

Antichrist evil spirit nowadays, knowing that the final time for the Antichrist and his devils is close, is doing everything possible to deceive man, by many manifestations, Aiming Virgin Mary and the Saints of God. Ο ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ ΜΑΣ ΠΡΟΕΙΔΟΠΟΙΗΣΕ ΓΙΑ "ΣΗΜΕΙΑ ΚΑΙ ΤΕΡΑΤΑ " ΠΡΙΝ ΤΗΝ ΕΠΟΧΗ ΤΟΥ ΑΝΤΙΧΡΙΣΤΟΥ.. ΟΛΟΙ ΑΥΤΟΙ ΟΙ ΨΕΥΔΟΠΡΟΦΗΤΕΣ ΑΠΛΩΣ ΠΡΟΕΤΟΙΜΑΖΟΥΝ ΤΟΥΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΙΑΝΟΥΣ ΓΙΑ ΤΟΝ ΨΕΥΤΙΚΟ ΧΡΙΣΤΟ..
