    Christ is Risen!
    33 years ago, I was baptized on the conception of the Holy St. John the Baptist. And in the 33 years of Pascha, I am still trying to let go of many sins that keep coming back over and over again. I thank God our Lord Jesus Christ, for His patience and mercy.
    And may one day I will be saved. Every time I hear our beloved Met. Demetrius speak he gives me hope.
    Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!! ☦️🙏

    This monastery and bishop metropolitan Demetrius have led back ti God. Been listening to their prayers and videos for the past 4 weeks. Helped me see my flaws clear as day and also what I consider a spiritual miracle where the demons literally exited my body during prayer. And let me tell you I’m the weakest of the weak. I’m the biggest sinner. Yet God showed his Holy Spirit back into my life. I surrender to God. I don’t want to be the old me anymore. Thank you for the help. It’s not over we have a long battle ahead but I am

    Your eminence Demetrius. I always watch your sermons. For many years. I'm a Lebanese Rûm Catholic, a catechumen to Orthodoxy.
    My friend a member of GOC is helping me spiritually.
    But a Goc Lebanese and french fathers told me to go to an Antiochian monastery to take a Conservative father as my spiritual father for a while until a catacombs Church is established here in Lebanon(Like the sspx did by praying in homes). I need your help what should I do to be baptised and saved. Pray for me.

    Grace is present in Patriarchates but walling off from ecumenist bishops by ceasing communion with heretics is necessary in order to be saved?

    • @seraphimwieber3893
      @seraphimwieber3893 4 месяца назад +2

      Christ is Risen! We don't know about grace. It is not our place to say one way or another. What we do know is the current Patriarchs, and most of the bishops in communion with them teach and practice heresy. We flee from heresy, as is commanded by the Church.

      When one hears the message of salvation, he must respond in a responsible way. Flee heresy, say the Fathers. No Church Father says, "Stay with the heretics."

    I just replayed these words. I tried to remember some of them before the Holy Gifts yesterday.
    Will try to remember more of them next time..
    'He comes to enter the hades of our hearts..', i believe you said..
    Reminded me of our priest a few years ago saying that 'He comes to enter the Jerusalem of our minds...'.
    Thank you for every word and encouragement.

    I have a question, I was Protestant but now I'm learning about the Orthodox faith, and I want to be baptized and be a member of the church, I'm learning about the GOC and from what I understand, for the GOC all other members of the other Orthodox churches and all patriarchates they are heretics and schismatics and do not have the holy spirit or Christ in the Eucharist or even a valid baptism, I am very confused because the closest church to me is the church of Antioch, I would like to know, if I am baptized in the church of Antioch will I be condemned and will I go to hell?
