Orthodox Christian Doesn't KNOW If He's Going To Heaven or HELL! (Very Sad)

- In this dialogue, a young man expresses a lack of assurance concerning his personal salvation. Unfortunately, this is the fruit of such teaching propagated by the Orthodox church. Let's be sure to hold ourselves and others accountable for accurately citing scripture in its context. Also, let's pray that this young man will come to trust in Jesus Christ ALONE for his salvation. God bless! - OD @NeedGodnet

You CANNOT earn Salvation.
Works done with faith can please God.
Is expending the noetic energy in order to believe and understand the doctrine of sola fide a work?
Ppl wanna make salvation difficult but God made it so easy for us ..Christ already did all the hard work 🙏✝️
Yes Christ did all the Work, is a Unbeliever saved? No,
is other people in religion saved? No they are not.
A believer can lose their Salvation, if the walk away from the faith. So yes you can Lose your salvation..
Died…rose from the dead, that’s a finished work.
@@Akhgy terrible
@@Akhgy Lol go troll somewhere else
had a dude tell me that salvation was never easy.
Based on our righteousness, how we live. WOW! That doesn’t save!!
ONLY Jesus.
Not man’s righteousness. ONLY Gods righteousness.
@@charlesadams8279 That's you then buddy.
@@charlesadams8279 Your first comment said "if you live in sin and do not repent then you will not be saved." Then by your own words you are not saved because you live in sin.
@@charlesadams8279 Have you stopped sinning? Or do you still sin?
1 John 5:13 "...that ye may KNOW that ye have eternal life..."
One of the first things the Orthodox gentlemen said to the question of salvation assurance was he wasn't sure because it's based on our righteousness and repentance. Brothers and sisters, our most righteous day we'll ever live on this earth is a complete filthy rag in the eyes of God. No one is good, no not a single one. Apart from faith in Jesus Christ we are dead. We are lawless, depraved and guilty in our trespasses.
Jesus Christ the Messiah was the only one who could fulfill the law all the while mankind was utterly condemned by it. No amount of righteousness will justify you, only faith, and even that was given to you by God.
Faith in Jesus Christ is our only hope. Not our good works or our righteousness. Repent and believe the gospel.
Exactly,
Repent (change your mind about saving yourself) and believe (simply believe in Christ).
I came out of Greek Orthodoxy when God saved me. Many Orthodox believers have no idea what the gospel is. They go to church as lost souls and assume they are in God’s church. No clue about their sins and walk in darkness. I know because it was me. Many don’t read the Bible on their own to learn about salvation as a free gift! Satan has blinded the eyes of unbelievers into believing they must clean themselves up in order to look worthy by God but it’s the other way around.
I shared the gospel on Thursday with an old lady and she literally said “that seems too easy”. I definitely wouldn’t want it to be hard because then it would literally be IMPOSSIBLE for us to enter
It's so simple that it's difficult for most people to believe, ironic.
@@OnoDiamante I think that's where 'narrow' and 'strait' come in. It's the way of Cain. Pride is so subtle and insidious.( love your channel Ono.)
@@BrotherBrotherMusic-tj9db Also, verses that say it's simple like:
"But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ." - 2 Cor 11:3
This is where many Christians get it wrong. It’s NOT EASY!!! You’re LYING to people if you say that salvation is easy. It’s guaranteed by God almighty, but it’s never told that it is easy.
@youdontneedtoknow06 a majority of Christians think they’re a good person because they go to church on Sunday or because they believe in Jesus Christ… where have you been? Have you not seen the “christians” that attack preachers & use their self proclaimed believe as a way to trump scripture? Free gift ≠ easy. If you tell a person that salvation will make their life easy, you’re deceiving them.

Something's blinding them
@@cats4603 Ah, the one thing I actually learned in psychology in college class. "Context is everything." ;) Agreed, without it comes mere confusion.
@MomoTheFalseProphet yeah, either a hardened heart or they've listened and their minds to how the teachers/Pastors. Instead of being like the bareans and seeing If the theology be true or not, and praying to God about it.
Sometimes ppl get to caught up in the knowledge of a certain pastor, in brick and mortar Churches that claim to go back to the founding of Christianity, or certain doctrines. Instead of seeing if these are Biblical and of God.
Exactly!
@@cats4603 mispelled it brotha. Its 'Bereans' in the book of Acts 17:10-15
I am Eastern Orthodox Christian, I fully believe that we are saved by Grace through faith in Christ alone. In orthodox, there are a lot of different interpretations and convictions just like there are in the protestant faith I have argued with other orthodox that we cannot earn our salvation or keep our salvation through works Some agree with me some do not, and I really don’t care because I believe in the word of God and the word of God only. Acts 16:31 and John 3:36, these verses tell me all that I need to know
Very interesting! I’m happy to hear that you’re trusting in Christ alone.
Wow! This is fascinating to see. Your type is rare, to be honest. If you're to articulate such conviction, they'll say you're outside the ark
@jm7578 talk to your priest. Orthodox Christianity doesn't believe that you earn your salvation. It's a free gift from God. It's God's grace.
Read the Bible, read the Saints.
Watch Father Spyridon on RUclips, Father Josiah Trenham, Father Turbo.
(I'm almost certain you're a craddle born Orthodox, learn your faith brother. It's the faith of the Apostles.)
@@harveygosal You're not sincere though.
@@raphaelfeneje486 How could you make that judgment from my comment?
How can we be 100% sure that we are saved?
Because Jesus Christ is perfect and so we are perfectly saved by the only perfect Savior.
„Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.“
Psalm 46:10 KJV
„But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.“
Matthew 19:26 KJV
I trust in the Lord and not in myself for that very reason..
Because with me I can never be sure, because I fail a lot!
Jesus never fails
God bless
I find it pretty weird that Orthodox think they can lose their Salvation when they sin after Baptism… Yeshua already made Salvation so easy & free, I’m no longer Separated.
Yes you can lose your salvation. If you walk away from the faith, you Gave up the Gift of Salvation and you Turn your back of Christ..
So yes you lost your salvation..
@@Akhgy, obviously you are doomed because the narrator has used scripture use use faulty logic.
Exactly. If you can unearn/lose it, this means that you can earn it
@@Akhgy2 timothy 2:13
@@Akhgyyou can loose eternal life. Nice... your illogical
Impossíble to lose salvation sealed and batized into the body of Crist in the moment we believe in Jesus and trust in his perfect blood shed on the cross to forgive our sins past presente and future
If God wants everyone to be saved… why would he make it hard? Why would he make it confusing?
Frfr
Let's hope he answers you
If Christ came to reverse the failure of Adam, then why didn't things just go back to how they were during the time of Adam and Eve after Christ resurrection? Why are the curses (painful childbirth, hectic tilling of the ground) still present today? If God had the power to do anything and everything, why didn't he reverse the curse after Christ paid the debt?
@@kingsleynwofe1244 not reverse, reconcile.
God made it extremely simple however false teachings and people leaning on themselves being prideful, have made salvation incredibly complicated. God made it easy The will of the Father is that we believeth on the Son and what he did on the cross. The scriptures are clear however mankind wants to do it his way and wants a way to boast. It's the same evil spirit that led to Satan's fall PRIDE.
1st Corinthians 15 1-4 the gospel of our salvation
Jesus did not turn ANYONE away! Not Legion, Not Judas! HE was rejected!
It would help abundantly if it was mentioned as well for clear context. That Matthew 7 that gets misunderstood easily, because this is Jesus speaking to the [Jews.] He made this statement very clear and bold towards them. Because he already knew that the Jews would be difficult to "repent" of their current faith, or way of believing in what was true. For that truth to now be solely upon Jesus Christ, who stood before them.
This passage applies today for anyone [other religions] who does not believe solely in Jesus Christ & his blood for the finished work he did on the cross. But if you do believe, then you are saved until the last day. For he will ensure to raise you at your last breath to himself to be washed new.
Oh, BIG realisation drop with this video. I think I shall view it several times to hammer it into my head. When Ryan quoted John 3:16 - the verse I learnt by heart as a 7 year old - I thought, "And I've been adding onto the end of it with, 'unless you're not good enough,'" and I burst out crying. Have I been following a false Gospel for 12 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I DONT EVEN WANNA CALL IT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED, I WANNA CALL IT: SAVED! SAVED = SAVED!!! WAKE UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No one dies and goes to heaven. Everyone is dead and waiting for the resurrection. Only Jesus Christ has died, risen and gone to heaven.
The other thing is that you don't decide if you want to get saved. God decides that. God gives you faith to believe. If he doesn't, then you cannot get saved. God is sovereign in salvation and he shares his glory with no one.
God is also depicted in the Bible as a strong Ochsen, with the Hebrew letter aleph. An Ochsen is perfectly capable of pulling a very heavy yoke.
Ever seen sheep?
We are his sheep…
Don’t put a yoke on a sheep please.. if they fall over, they can’t even get up themselves!
All they do is eat grass, lay down and live. They listen to their shepherd and the shepherd does all the work.
Leeds them to green pastures and watches over them.
The sheep do not work at all!
God bless

Living in anxiety and depression is from the enemy ,satan does the opposite of God and gets you to doubt God's promise of eternal life. BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST ALONE FOR SALVATION. ( KEEP SPEAKING THE SCRIPTURES OF ETERNAL LIFE OUT LOUD WHAT YOU SPEAK YOU EVENTUALLY BELIEVE. GLORY TO GOD.
We're all born sinners without ever having had the chance to sin. So how could works ever make us clean before God? Only Jesus can cleanse us, not good works.
so heartbreaking seeing people believe false gospels
Well people love their religious ways and want to get to heaven through their 'good works' instead of through Jesus so they misinterpret and misquote scripture to favor their own self righteousness
Our names are written in the Lamb's book of Life the moment we put our faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and God seals us with his Holy Spirit.. it is the Holy Spirit that keeps us until the day of redemption, not our own works. Works result from our salvation, they are not a requirement for our salvation. Jesus fulfilled that requirement with his finished work on the cross❤
Needgod is a perseverance of the saints Christian that claims osas and faithalone. Onorato you should do a video of him aswell
When Paul wrote the church in Corinth he was very concerned about them complicating and twisting scripture to the point the listeners leaned more towards old law vs new covenant. He expresses this in 2 Corinthians 11:3. The Bible is riddled with “what must I do to be saved”. The most well know is John 3:16, but there are many more John 6:40 is impossible to argue.
Good video
Today is The New Day for The New Wine.Both osas n not kniwing God So Loved His Creation that God Died n Rose for His Creations Redemorion n Salvation.Come to Jesus of Nazareth Today,Today.
just as moses lifted the serpent in the desert so too must the son of man be lifted up
Grace is a Gift from
God. None of it is from us. It says Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. We need to believe in his name and truly accept what HE did on the cross to save us from our sins. Only Jesus can save us, not our works.
I love that these recent videos point to Orthodox christians because romans are in the same boat and i can send this to romans without them immediately rejecting to watch.
Ok but like on a more positive note, Perry the platypus by the guy's room is so iconic lol

When you look to yourself you'll never know, if you've always looked to yourself you'll hear the words "I never er knew you"
Only people that are not relying on their own righteousness, their own good works, or credit rating with God , can be sure they have a place in the kingdom of God because they are relying on Jesus's perfect righteousness accounted to them by faith and God's grace! Jesus finished work on the Cross paid the debt we all owe for sin, we can rest in His finished work, it is our true Sabbath rest. Call upon the name of Jesus with a sincere heart and be saved.
AMEN BROTHER 🙏 AND ALL GLORY TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AMEN 💯💯💯
If you can look me straight in the eye and tell me you truly believe that the work of Jesus of Nazareth on the cross ALONE was infinitely sufficient to pay your entire sin debt (past, present, future), you are irreversibly saved… there is no merit-any inclusion of personal merit defiles the Gospel… What cannot be earned by moral perfection cannot be lost by moral imperfection-that is Grace- Grace is NOT a license to sin (Romans 6:1-2) BUT even the apostle Paul struggled with sin (Romans 7:14-8:1)… anyone care to debate his salvation status? Didn’t think so…
So Sad.
Would you consider making a video about the Lambs book of Life? A lot of these confused souls who actually believe they have to meet some holy standard, may have never considered that their name needs to be written in the Lamb's book of Life to enter God's kingdom.. your thoughts ONO?
I know that I have eternal life. (1 John 5:13)
Praise God.
How to have assurance of salvation from God's punishment and enter in His kingdom?
Almost all people have their own religion and belief, because they want to be worthy and be saved from God's punishment for their sin in the lake of fire. And more people are looking the right religion because they think that there is a true religion that can save them, so they move from religion to religion but when the teachings of a religion that he joined was wrong, his basis of salvation will be wrong also and he may perish in hell, instead of being saved.
So when you join a religion, first ask from them their doctrine or teaching about salvation.
Here's the question:
What must I do to be saved?
Here are the different answers from each religion to this question:
1. Join/be a member of the true Church
2. Obey God's Commandments
3. Obey the teachings of the gospel or the whole law of Christ
4. Obey the seven sacraments
5. Obey the five pillars of good behavior.
6. Do good and charity
7. Be baptized in water
8. Live a new life/have a change life
9. Serve God faithfully
10. Repent and crucify yourself
11. Be devoted to the black Jesus the Nazarene, papa Jesus, mama Mary and other saints
12. Surrender the seed of the viper to God
13. Accept the Lord Jesus as Lord and Savior
14. Persevere to the end
15. Acknowledge Jehovah as the true God, follow His commandments and adhere to pure religion.
16. Believe and do good
17. Believe and be baptized in water
18. Believe and obey God's commandments
19. Believe and surrender your whole life to God
20. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ
The correct answer and explanation:
Paul's direct answer to the prisoner's question: "What must I do to be saved?" is: "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved..."
Acts 16:30-31
This truth cannot be accepted by many people, because of what James said, that faith without works is dead, James 2:17-22. They also used what Jesus says in the book of Mathew 7:21-23 but when you examine what the Lord Jesus said you will notice that it was not said: Not everyone who believes in Me will enter the kingdom of God..., but what He said is: "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."
And the will of God the Father is to believe in His Son to have eternal life. John 6:28-29
Apostle Paul said that works cannot save a person Ephesians 2:9 because salvation is God's gift to anyone who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8 And after receiving salvation he will devote his life to doing good, not to be saved but because he is already saved. Ephesians 2:8-10
Believing in the Lord Jesus is the work and will of God that man must do, but other people instead of doing God's work for them, they relied on their work for God. Matthew 7:21-23; John 6:28-29
Question:
Why did Paul's answer to the jailer was that you believe in the Lord Jesus to be saved?
Answer:
1.) That is exactly what the Lord Jesus preached, John 3:15-18,36; 6:29, 35, 40, 47; 7:38, 39; 8:24, 46; 11:25-26
2.) That is also what His Disciples preached. Acts 16:30-31; 10:43; 1 John 3:23; 5:1
3.) This faith comes from God. Jude 1:3; Romans 12:3; 2 Peter 1:1
4.) Faith is also the will of God that He asks people to do to have eternal life and salvation, John 6:28, 29, 40, 47; 3:15-18; Acts 16:30-31
5.) Salvation is God's grace, a free gift that can be received, not by works but by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ His Son. Galatians 3:22-24; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:4-7; Romans 4:5-8 even he is the worst person who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Timothy 1:15,16
6.) Jesus Christ Himself is the only One who can reconcile us to God by believing in Him, not a religion itself.
2 Corinthians 5:19-21
7.) Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the way to be forgiven of sin, to have a clean heart, justified and to be saved. Acts 10:43; 15:9; Romans 5:1; 16:30-31
Acts 10:43
Everyone who believes in Jesus will have their sins forgiven through His Name. All the prophets agree that this is true.”
When you rely on your work as the basis of your salvation you will only be confounded and perished but when you believe in the Lord Jesus you will not be confounded and perished.
1 Peter 2:6; Romans 9:33; 10:11-13; John 3:15-18 instead, you will be saved from God's punishment for your sin because of His grace. Acts 16:30, 31; John 3:16; 2 Timothy 3:15; 1 Corinthians 1:21; Isaiah 53:1-10
This is what can be read in 1 Corinthians 1:21 This is what God in his wisdom decided: Since the world did not find him through its own wisdom, he used the message that sounds foolish to save those who believe it. (It pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe)
Also read: 2 Timothy 3:15
If you believe this, express your faith to God:
"I confess now that Jesus Christ is the Lord who died on the cross for the payment of all my sins according to Romans 5:8 and I believe with all my heart that God was raised Him from the dead, according to Romans 10:9-10,
Thank you for the eternal life and salvation You have given me today because of Your grace for me in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
If you really believe in the Lord Jesus Christ with all your heart you are saved but I want you to know that you were not saved because of this sinner's prayer but because of God's grace since you believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is also your Intercessor or your Mediator when you sin. 1 John 2:1-2; Hebrews 7:25
And now that you are save, devote your life to doing good, not to be saved but because you are saved already.
Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3:4-9; Truth 2:11-12
This is as evidence that you can show people that you truly believe James 2:14-23 and also you can distribute them in the faith so that you will not stumble, you will not forget that you have been forgiven and you will not be left to be lazy or without result of knowing our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:5-9 so that God may be glorified in your good works. Matthew 5:16 Also look for the religion that teaches that salvation is God's grace that is a free gift of God to those who believe in His Son Jesus Christ and join there so that you will grow and be stable in spiritual life through the Word of God. Be baptized there Acts 16:30-33; Matthew 28:19, 20 and serve God without hypocrisy but with faithfulness and love so that you can also receive a reward from the Lord.
Matthew 25:21, 23; 1 Corinthians 16:14; Revelation 22:12; 1 Corinthians 3:14-15
To God alone be the glory in Jesus' name!
No way of knowing if your gonna fall away in the future. Everyone that loses faith says they never thought they were
Those are false converts, they never belonged to Christ. We are sealed by God's Holy Spirit and he is able to keep us to the very end.. Read your Bible
@@busybody1474 no, they were real Christian’s. That’s why the Bible over and over and over warns us to not fall away and out of grace. We can reject God and fall away. And if you believe in your manmade doctrine of ‘OSAS’ then you really have no assurance at all of your salvation. You can only hope that your not one of the people that ‘never had the faith’ lol. I know people that were strong believers for 30 plus years and they now reject the faith. It’s a real reality, and one of those people actually helped me in my own faith ironically. So yes you can fall away. The Bible makes it very clear. There are lots of verses talking about it, so stop reading your wack doctrine into the text. “Read your Bible more” the arrogance of that it wild considering that you believe in a doctrine that nobody in all of church history has held to…..
You do not need an intercessor, talk to Lord Jesus. He is the redeemer. Do not cheapen the gift of salvation. Trust and believe.
TeamJesus Preachers preach LORDSHIP SALVATION ,and Kerrigan Skelly .Abe the street preacher among other street preachers preach evil JESUS CHRIST WLL tell them BY BY
I used to say I was going to Heaven at death bc I was baptized when I was 8 years old. Then in my early 30s I began actually studying the Bible and found that most of what I was taught as a kid is not in the Bible at all. Quite the contrary. Going to Heaven at death included.
Anyone that believes in hellfire doesn't know what Christ came for.
I don’t get it are you saying the guy at the beginning explaining to the orthodox guy was wrong ? Or are you agreeing with him . As you both saying it’s faith and not works which is correct of course
THANK YOU
It's like we're all not sure tho. Thats why there's judgement day
No. The Bible says those who have believed, will be sealed by The Holy Spirit and guaranteed to enter heaven after standing before God. All who have not placed their faith in Jesus Christ ALONE will face a different Judgement.
1 Corinthians 3:15 ESV
If anyone 's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
They think they will save themselves.;
NeedGodNet respond to him correctly right? Or not?
It seems plain to me that both are required. Works won’t save you. But accepting Jesus through faith and then leading an evil and wicked life won’t work, either. (Don’t tell me all men are wicked either, you know what I mean. There’s a difference between the man who directs a random lustful glance at his neighbor’s wife, and an unrepentant career criminal.)
I’m on your page, my friend. I have absolute faith in Christ and His sacrifice. That said, I’m 33. That leaves a lot of time to run into situations where I drop the ball *hard.*
I understand inevitable sin in being human, we cannot be perfect, but there’s some big ones I struggle with, some might have a tendency to look like a recurring woman in my life, that blindside me and put me into action that I look back on, going “what just happened…”
I can’t imagine, while I do make progress, that failing big tests like that, could possibly be doing me any good in the way of salvation. I do liken it to the difference between, say, road rage and being a career criminal.
Praise Jesus. Thank God for all we have.

13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God that ye may KNOW that ye HAVE eternal life and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
The ‘orthodox’ Christian is likely a calvinist.
Wow! Absolute wrong answer right out of the gate.
The only thing I can be 100% sure of is that I exist. I can't be 100% sure the phone I'm using to type this is real but I believe it is and I'm confident enough that it is to say I that know it is.
So what's your point??
I feel so sorry for protestants and Catholics; they are just two sides of the same coin. Neither has the fullness of the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the only begotten son of the living God.
No one is going in heaven
Thy kingdom COME (Matthew 6:10)
Thy will be done on EARTH.
Jesus will establish His kingdom right here on earth at His second coming (Revelation 11:15)
Humility is part of Orthodox Christianity. Modern protestants and non-denoms are too smug and over-confident to understand Christ-like humility.
Yes, it’s extremely smug and over-confident to actually take God at His word.
The irony in this comment is palpable.
The Bible is filled with many who turned away and lost their salvation. They weren't pre-destined, they had free will to choose (Judas, or the multitude that leave at the end of John 6). Jesus warns countless times and especially in the parables that we can fall away (parable of the sower).
You guys don't realize your own irony. You can't save yourself by believing hard enough that you are saved. That could be hubris. Focus on your repentance and pray for others who are struggling with their repentance, but believe in their heart that Jesus wants their salvation.
No worries if God will do his end of the bargain with regard to salvation as He is God. The problem lies with us - if we keep believing in Him - coz if NOT then we lose our salvation. 😢

Besides, the our father prayer which Jesus taught us, says "forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us" implying there is a bit of work to do - forgiving others - or else we lose salvation. :(

Are we going to heaven or does the Bible say.... Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth! and that Yeshua will be coming back here to create a NEW heaven and a NEW EARTH! Revelation 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man, and He will dwell with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God. and... Isaiah 65:17 For behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. 18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; for I will create Jerusalem to be a joy and its people to be a delight. 19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem and take delight in My people. The sounds of weeping and crying will no longer be heard in her. 20 No longer will a nursing infant live but a few days, or an old man fail to live out his years. For the youth will die at a hundred years, and he who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed. 21 They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit. 22 No longer will they build houses for others to inhabit, nor plant for others to eat. For as is the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people, and My chosen ones will fully enjoy the work of their hands. 23 They will not labor in vain or bear children doomed to disaster; for they will be a people blessed by the LORD- they and their descendants with them. 24 Even before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear. 25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but the food of the serpent will be dust. They will neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mountain,” and... 1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise. 17 After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
No hope for you!(Hope)
Why are you talking to this guy. He is obviously trolling. You do not have enough wisdom to see that. This is what happens when someone mocks God you tell them we do not give our pearls to swine.!
My GAWD I said that well!!!
I have a question. I believe you cannot lose your salvation. That being said, there are verses such as Luke 11:28 and John 14:15 where Jesus wants us to keep the word and follow his commandments.
Since we can’t earn or lose salvation, what are we to do with these verses?
@@Smaul002 We rightly divide between salvation and service. These passages can’t logically coexist with the uniform testimony of scripture without a proper division. Otherwise, you end up with a “free gift” that will cost you everything, eternal life that you can lose, sonship that can be forfeited, etc. ruclips.net/video/4kJ8cfMe5EY/видео.htmlfeature=shared
@@OnoDiamante thank you. The scripture can get confusing at times
@@Smaul002In John 14:15, many people will tell you those commandments are the ten, or the whole law, but that couldn’t be any farther from the truth. Jesus states his commands in John 15:12, 1 John 3:23, and John 13:34. They are to believe in Jesus and love each other as he loved us. Remember, Romans says we’re dead to sin, dead to the law, and alive unto God. God bless helps this hopes 🙏🏾✝️
What about the wrath of God in the end times? How do you contend with that? The fact that God says I didn't know you or not everyone who says lord lord will enter the kingdom of heaven but only those who do the will of my father?

I see a lot of videos of people that say they are former Christians. They claim they have deconstructed or reconverted. What do you say about them?
Still saved if they believed the gospel
If you've been sealed by The Holy Spirit, it is for eternity. How sad to be still saved yet leading others down the path to destruction. Pray for them all to repent & trust in Jesus Christ EVERLASTING atonement alone.
Guys, I don't understand how you can claim that someone is saved by faith alone and then state that orthodox christians aren't saved, although they believe in Jesus.
If you say in your heart that your works have anything to do with your salvation, you replace the finished work of Jesus with your own works of righteousness, which as scripture says, are as filthy rags. If you say in your heart, it doesnt matter what i do, Jesus Christ alone is my only salvation, you will be saved. Orthodox and romans SAY they believe in Christ and his finished work, but they dont actually BELIEVE it based on the self righteous works they perform.
Because they don't believe in Jesus for salvation. Notice I didn't say they do not believe Christ exists - the two things are very different.
I used to be Orthodox. I certainly was NOT saved, and if I died I would go straight to hell, as I deserved.
Once I left that cult and trusted in Christ ALONE for my salvation, not my own filthy rags (works), I was reborn and saved. I pray the same saving faith comes to you, friend.
@SteliosMusic I can see you weren't properly catechised if that what you believe the orthodox believe. We're you actually baptized orthodox or just inquiring/catecheumen?
@@rickcasualthat's extremely uncharitable.
They believe Christ Jesus is God the Son. They also believe He died on the cross and rose again. However, they don’t believe what He accomplished in His death and resurrection ~~ complete and eternal redemption for all who simply BELIEVE it.
So, their faith is NOT in Christ.
let's be clear this guy is not Orthodox Christian.
Looks like adam 22 in the pic sad. If only that guy became a Christian lets pray satan loses his villains and they become servants they would appreciate the cross and not givin up most that got Christian life went thru hell to get it but still escaped hell. I love them kind the most!! Save adam 22 and see if he can help a lost youth
You are not like us 👉🏿👑👩🏿🦱🧕🏿🦁🐏🐑. JACOB AND ISRAEL ONLY, YOU APPEAR ON PSALM 83
You are clueless. Christ says by their works you will know them and he who believeth in him may have everlasting life, but those who believe in him will follow him and do his will otherwise their belief is
fake. You are pushing a faith that does not even try to do Gods will. That is harmful. You are using a circular argument. To believe is to do Gods works, which is to believe in Christ etc. This does not imply what true belief is. You shamefully misinterpreted these passages.
Consider Matt 16:27 27 "For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done." Also Revelation 20 :13 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. " So it sounds like works and deeds have a role to play.
Here is John 5 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out-those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned. 30 " You prods dont understand scripture .
Salvation is faith alone.
Good works have rewards.
The Bible clearly teaches that God will reward believers for their good works, both in this life and in eternity. This promise motivates believers to live a life pleasing to God, and it also serves as a reminder of God’s justice and fairness in judging each person according to their deeds.
the Bible does not teach that our reward for good works is salvation. Instead, it emphasizes that salvation is a gift of God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ, apart from human works (Ephesians 2:8-10).
the Bible teaches that good works will be rewarded in heaven, with individualized and varied rewards based on each person’s faithfulness and obedience. These rewards are not a means to earn salvation, but rather a motivation to serve God faithfully
@@centyniv7257 Faith and Good works go hand in hand and if someone loses his faith his works will reflect that.
@@centyniv7257 believing in Christ much more than just saying you believe in Christ. Its doing his will.
In order for Protestantism to be true the promise Jesus made has to be broken
"And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it"
Mathew 16:18
Because the orthodox church teaches the same things as the early church
The orthodox church is guided by the Holy spirit
The apostle had authority given to them by Jesus
Which they letter gave to others people
If Jesus was talking about Peter, He wouldn't have said "this" rock. He was talking directly to Peter. Check out the Greek. Jesus is the Only Rock to build the Church on. See 1 Corinthians 3:5-15. Shalom...
@@michaelpalmer7954
I wasn't talking about Peter
I was talking how the gates of Hades will not overcome the church
@@fenderlespaul5781the same chapter Jesus calls peter satan. so according to you your first pope was called satan.
@@toofargonemcoc
Peter wasn't the first pope
I'm not Roman Catholic
My friend
Peter did serve as a bishop in Rome. This role is respected, but it is not seen as establishing a line of papal authority.
Peter is regarded as a leading apostle, often referred to as the "chief" or "first among equals" among the Twelve Apostles. This title highlights his significant role and leadership, but it does not imply any supreme or unilateral authority over the entire Church
Are you not missing out see
Will of father is see and believe
Why did Christ literally judge by works in Matthew 25? You people keep avoiding this passage like a plague because it contradicts your "just believe and relax and you'll surely be in heaven ". After believing you are required to do something as proof of your belief.
I'll try to keep it simple, you obviously dont know anything about righteous works and where they come from, its not from you, or any man. Read ephesians 2:8-10, focus on verse 10. Who gives us work? God. What must we do first? put our faith in him alone for our salvation. If an orthodox or roman pagan tell you, you need to do this or that; Know this, they are already lost. They do not rely on God for their works, they rely on themselves and the self righteous works they literally made up.
No one’s avoiding any passage. ruclips.net/video/79hO3a7M3c0/видео.htmlfeature=shared
NO, it's an observation that BOTH technically had similar WORKS, BUT the saved had the works with faith, while the unsaved had the works without faith, but the same works are NOT counted for the unsaved.
NOT OF WORKS 289
It's not very sad because the world is deceived. Who among you are really doing the will of the Lamb of God's Father? I say very few of you. And there has been many near-death anecdotal witnesses that have seen the judgement process of many being turned away from heaven and only a very few entering through the gates. Matthew 7:13 supports these witnesses that have been given mercy to come back and tell their stories. So, the Orthodox believers, I believe are correct to be cautious with the answer to that question.
What’s the difference between Protestant and orthodox?
Ultimately the difference is faith in Christ vs faith in man. Roman catholics and orthodox get their theology and understanding from different books and they trust in the authority of their elders and leaders. Protestants only get their understanding from scripture, scripture is their authority, making God their authority. Scripture has never changed, the giant international churches who worship men and idols always change. The roman catholic will tell you his church came first, the protestant says, ok, and looks to Christ and moves on, doing Gods will. Protestants dont call a church home, they call heaven home, they know that them and everyone who trusts in Christ as they do, are the church.
Who gave you the canon scripture that you follow?@@rickcasual
@@grizzly_8917 God himself, why take any glory away from him? I know roman pagans love to turn men into gods, but the rest of us don't. You should read Luke.
@rickcasual I have read Luke. Your bible didn't manifest out of thin air. It was collected and decided upon by men being led by the Holy Spirit. Which you then removed the deuterocanonical books based on Martin Luther's misguided opinions.
You should read church history.
@rickcasual can you point to a Scripture that espouses sola scriptura?
2 Thessalonians 2:15 always comes to mind when talking to Protestants for me.
Could you do a video on Bible contradictions, I’m struggling a bit right now I need help
You got a real Bible, there are none.
@@BrotherBrotherMusic-tj9db what does your comment kean
@@cqbed He means there are no contradictions, you just dont understand the context of whatever verse you think is a contradiction. He also probably means when he says real bible, a KJV version, a literal translation, and no other should be read.
@@rickcasual I didn’t see the comma in his comment! I see I have a kjv yeah my bad but yeah idk some videos are convincing but don’t get much context
@@cqbed Yeah its a long crunchy book, really shouldnt be read front to back like a novel. Read John, read Romans, read Hebrews. Ask Jesus Christ yourself for wisdom and understanding, he will reveal understanding to you. Most people do not do it this way, they lean into their own understanding. Roman catholics are told they need the catechism to understand the scriptures. Never rely on another book for spiritual understanding and wisdom. If you seek some wisdom, read proverbs and ecclesiates. Everything is all so simple, just read it as a child seeking understanding, God wrote us a love letter.
We don't go to Heaven.
Revelation 21:1-3
King James Version
21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
Heaven moves in with us. Sadly very FEW will see this by choice.
All just commenting on Orthodoxy but don’t know what it teaches.. bro in video talked to a Lukewarm Orthodox Christian and Think he knows the Teaching of the Ancient Church..
None you actually knows the teaching of the church, talking to a lukewarm and think he know the church is deceptive..
Read first Corinthians 15:1-8 to know the gospel. That’s the message you need to believe to be saved. That simple.
Every one of you including roman catholics say the exact same thing alllllll the time yet worship idols and say dumb unbiblical stuff like mary can intercede for you. Completely material faiths not based on scripture alone but perversions of it. Youre gonna be infront of Christ saying LORD LORD, but, but, but i asked mary for help, my gay priest told me mary would intercede for me, that i could not have you without her!... lol. Your faith is pride and your god is satan. You just dont know it yet. Too much pride in tradition to see what is clearly infront of you, which is the lust of the eyes, and the pride of self righteous works. The real christian is not known to the world, they spiritually carry their cross, not just wear it around their neck and carry one around like a hypocrite so everyone can see what a outward christian they are while they perform their self righteous works infront of men so they can be seen and loved by men.
If you read you're word you'd understand Orthodox church is a modern day works trusting pharisaical cult just like roman catholicism
@@YouPew1873 that’s it? Many people believe that Christ Died and Resurrected.. are they automatically saved because they believe that?
-no, so by that statement you saying JW are saved , The Mormons Are Saved, All Cults that believe in the Death and Resurrection is saved is that it?
- I can just participate in any religion and Believe that so I am saved by that standards? I don’t need to be a Christian then I can just believe that and that’s it I have access to heaven
@@Akhgy Paul said with the heart one believes and is justified. He also quotes previous scripture by saying: "As it is written, all who believe in Him will never be put to shame."
Humans do not go to heaven. They can end up in hell though. By dying. Jesus too ended up in hell when he died. Acts 2:27 KJV.
The usual Protestant arrogance about the certainty of salvation...
@@Gabriel-gv9ij Yes, how arrogant of us to actually take God at His word.
Jesus told us that we might get saved if we believe in him?
