Mar Mari is actually saying that nobody but jesus christ can forgivr you, no even de saints of the church, so do not pray asking forgiveness do the saints, talk directly to jesus in your prayers, so that you develop a relationship with the true lord and savior of this world.
@@atrmediaofficial Actually, not true. The Bible says the following: James 2:14-26 "What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
@@Utube-Enlightenment By the fruits we will know the tree. If a tree says he is an apple tree but doesn't yield apples then we should become very wary of the tree. First of all for the fact that he talked, second for the fact that he doesn't bare any fruit. Never miss a moment to testify, if needed even with words
If 100 people pray for one saint, can that saint hear in heaven? If so, is he in many different places? which is omnipresent which is what angels can't do? think logically. Don't be a fool, bible doesn't say that. Read Rome 10:7 - 9 & 1 Timothy 2:5
@@marksirifernando4198 Intercession and mediation share the common goal of connecting different parties, yet they serve distinct purposes. Intercession is about advocating or making requests on behalf of someone else, while mediation is centered on promoting dialogue and finding solutions between conflicting parties. In Christianity, Jesus Christ uniquely serves as the sole mediator between God and humanity, bringing reconciliation through His sacrifice. Meanwhile, believers can take on the role of intercessors, praying for each other and asking for God's help.
@@L0rdsWarr10r 1. can you tell me why Paul ask Colossians to pray for him? ( Col. 4:2,3) Not asking saints who passed away before (as 1 Corinthians 15:6) 2. No intersection for Paul in his weakness by saints? (Read 2 Corinthians 12:8,9)
I agree but being a good man does not necessarily mean he is right in everything he teaches. I love his teaching in general but I do not agree with some of his teaching.
@@atrmediaofficial true. Not saved by works but will be rewarded according to our works. But also our faith without works is dead. Our works shows that we have faith.
Shame bro i feel sorry for you. I really pray that you will find the truth. Mar Mari is a deciple of Jesus Christ and the truth. Thats why you are attacking him.
its the small things that create cults, if he truly promotes praying to saints then that is no misspeak, or mistake, it affects the entire doctrine of scripture. You cant pray to saints, Jesus alone is our high priest that intercedes for us. I do believe God will not regard any requests we have until we repent. Obviously He can literally hear you, so when it says "if I regard sin in my heart you will not hear me" its implying your prayers are ignored until you repent, which you come to Jesus to confess and repent and He will forgive and restore and then will hear you. A high priest is not replaced as long as the current high Priest is alive, so since Jesus lives forever, He will be the only High Priest forever.
Mar Mari is a disciple of Jesus Christ and knows Him intimately and His love for Christ is undeniable. But coming from an Orthodox background he is veiled in some things. The Bible is crystal clear about Christ being sole mediator between us and God. Nowhere in the Bible will you find any believers praying for anything through other believers. And there is no verse spoken by Christ or apostles that would indicate otherwise. 1 Timothy 2:5-6 - New Living Translation (NLT) 5 For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity-the man Christ Jesus.
Mar mari is not evil that’s big a lie. He may have made a mistake or something but most of his teachings are correct and he has brought me closer to God. There are some othes preachers/pastors that are lacking and lying in many ways they are wolves in sheeps clothes but he is not really.

@@Daryakie yeah He's just an Orthodox Christian, these people criticizing Bishop Mar Mari about intercession but when you get sick or there's a tragedy happened to your country you're asking for prayers that's intercession
Intercession, as understood in the Christian tradition, is deeply rooted in the history and practice of venerating saints and seeking their intercession as a means to grow closer to God. Both Catholic and Orthodox churches emphasize the worship of one God, and their teachings make it clear that intercession is not about worshiping saints but asking for their prayers on our behalf. To dismiss this practice as improper overlooks the theological nuances and centuries of tradition that have shaped its role in Christian spirituality. Such a condemnation seems to lack a thorough understanding of these traditions and their significance
As an orthodox agree with you100%Τhe protestants do not understand either the role of Mother Mary or the Saints. Especially Mary is above all Humans Saints Angels Archangels.....
Just because it became a tradition doesn't mean it is correct. Many teachings in chruches have no basis in scripture. Just like how the traditions of men came and overtook the true teachings of God, for the jews. Jesus Christ rebuked the pharisees for following the man made traditions rather than the ones given by God. Obey God's commandments to show that you love him, not the traditions of men.
Whenever someone gains popularity, there will always come those who will try to bring them down. Mar Mari is not a heretic. You can disagree with some of his teachings, but a heretic? Mayne you should look much more into him and what he's really about.
So what interpretation do you give to what Mar Mari said?? He said very clearly that we should not pray to the saints and he is right, then he said that when we sin God does not listen to us until we repent of our sin we ask Jesus to wash us in his blood and then we have passage before of God.. Then you said that no one and nothing can separate us from God's Love... Sin puts a wall of separation between us and God!!! Heresies you speak, not Mar Mari!
No he's not, and neither is this man in this video. They're both apostate preachers. Moses said that if any man teach not to commandments, then do not listen to or follow them. Jesus said he did not come to do away with the law, but to fulfill them. He did so by doing two things, (1) living a perfectly sin free life and then, doing something no man could do, (2) die for our sins. This part of the law God the Father made for His Son, that only His Son could be a blood atonement for our sins. All those who say the death and resurrection of our slain messiah did away with the law, blaspheme His sacrifice. Both of these men are blaspheming the sacrifice of our slain Messiah, and so are you by defending them. ..
@@ThisUnderWorldOfDarkness He is a man of God but this does not mean he is not mistaken. Even apostles would make mistakes. Peter went back to his Jewish practices and was not clear about how to live by grace vs. the law. This brother who is criticizing Brother Mar Mari has good intentions but does not have the attitude of Christ. His rebuke or correction is not in the love of Christ. The Bible makes it clear that we do not need any other mediators but Christ.
I think the way Mar Mari reacted after that attack on his life is telling us all we need to know. He has the love of God living inside of him. You may not agree with everything he says, neither do I, but let's leave it at that. Are you claiming to know everything about God and the way He wants to be honored? In my opinion it is testimony to God's sense of humor that He has all given us some enlightenment in certain aspects of who He truly is. To gain a greater insight in Him, we need the communion with other fellow believers to learn from eachother. Let's pray for the removal of that beam in our own eyes first before we start mentioning the splinter in someone else's eye
What about the devil that tried to tempt Jesus in the wilderness for 40 days? The devil would quote scripture and also quote verses but would add or take away words here and there to try and twist the meaning. So should we follow what you say about Mar Mari and apply it to the devil?
@@SKRooU2 As Salomon said: research all things. It isn't because we know everything that we should judge, it is in the spirit of love and humility that we can listen to people that differ from us and learn from them. It is the people that suffer from cognitive dissonance that can't handle hearing different opinions because that's what most of religion is; just different opinions or explanations for the same Bible. If God would judge us for getting everything right in life, heaven is going to be completely empty. We will need eternity to understand Him. God bless you on your path towards perfection, and if you already arrived there: I'll pray God to open your eyes 😉👍
i think he meant when prayers go "Pray for us", because saints usually mean they are close with God, like St. Peter, St. Thomas, St. Mary etc. etc. so that means we're asking saints and people of God to pray for us in Heaven. I think.
Damn bro, you're getting cooked in the comments. 😵💫 But also, Sin WILL kill you spiritually. It leads to spiritual death 100%. BUT! Jesus can help and assist to resurrect you from this death.
When Christ was crucified on the cross for our sins, the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom before the high priest who had a hand in Christ's crucifixion, showing that for one and all time that we were allowed in through our prayers before God and needed no intercessor except Christ our LORD!!
@@PantocratorFollower ,I was talking about one on one prayers with our LORD, Christ, Immanuel, GOD WITH US, not prayers for healing intercessory prayers through the body of Christ for healing. We join together as one body through Christ's holy spirit in praying for healing etc...
With all love my brother though I don't agree with Mar Mari with everything please note that billions believe in the intercession of prayers and that Christians do not die because I quote : “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God Bless brother ❤❤❤❤
I don't disagree with you on the theology, but I think you went way too far on this one. The things you fault Mari Mari for are sadly common throughout Catholicism, but it is a long stretch from saying that he is wrong on a critical issue to saying that he is trying to decieve us and is an enemy of the church.
You western church don't get it ... We Orthodox Christian get it and it's biblical for Christian to intercede to each other ... How will sit and talk with st. Peters and the others if you don't have any relationship with them . Before Christianity reaches Europe we had had with us for 1000 year 😂
Please give us 1 quote from the Bible to support your point. The only intercession the Bible talks about is Christ as our Heavenly Advocate. There is no mention of any other saints interceding. We the living may intercede for others but I dont see anything in the Bible about how dead saints could intercede for us here. And especially in relation to our sins being forgiven. Only Christ can forgive us our sins and we have to come directly to Him. For sure noone else has this power. Whether dead or living. If Christ does not forgive us, how could the saints change His decision? And if He forgives us, what's the use to ask the saints for their intercession?
@@iwonaduma2948 Thats your problem (the protestants)You have only the bible,we the Eastern Orthodox have the oral tradition,the miracles(every day) The saints, All the angels(especially archangels giving their names to our children)and we pray for intermediation to our God .Because they have earned the prize to be aside and close to God.....
Mar Mari is a heretic, yes, but this Velchin guy is even more of a heretic. He just denied the 'communion of saints' which is in the Apostle's creed. He also said basically "Once saved, always saved" which is pure heresy.
This mar mari you are hating on, has brought people closer to god, which is btw not what you have been doing in all of your hateful videos, more than any false teachers like yourself who claim to know god fully and hold the ultimate truth and no one other than you knows anything about him, get a life man read your bible with an open heart, i will always pray for you❤
So you are saying he shouldn't point out the fact that Mar Mari is teaching necromancing which is sorcery? How is it bringing people closer to God when he says it is ok to pray to someone other than God? Last time I checked whoever you are praying to is the one you are worshipping.
@@SKRooU2 you are a living example of why people teach wrong, it's bcz YOU DON'T LISTEN. If you actually listen with an open heart and not just with your ears, you'd understand that we don't pray FOR saints in the way you say it, we pray for saints to ask them for their intercession, because everybody (including you), cannot disproof their holiness and how close they are to god by the miracles that even atheists believe in. Another thing while i'm burying you with your own words, if you actually read the bible, intersession is all over the place, like in Genesis 18:16-33 with Abraham and also in Mark 2:2-12 with the handicapped man, If it wasn't for his friends bringing him down the roof to be healed (aka intersession of his friends), he wouldn't have been healed (pls dont understand it as if his friends healed him, i know his faith did but if it wasn't bcz of his friends he wouldn't be there). I will pray for you also dont worry❤️
@@josephziadee that's different. Those Saints are deceased. Heaven is in another realm and dimension. You can't contact them if you wanted. The danger lies in the fact demons know you are being fooled and they will make you think you are communicating with someone in heaven but you would actually be talking to demons. That's the Bible strictly saying to pray directly to God
@@SKRooU2 "you are being fooled and they will make you think you are communicating with someone in heaven but you would actually be talking to demons" In other words, you can never be sure with whom you are communicating in heaven - those are your words!
Mar Mari Emanuel is a wonderful teacher , God speaks loudly through this Bishop . Do not tear each other down building each other up people Just need to read and listen . And yes there were bishops in the New Testament do your research , Examples of first-century bishops include Timothy and Titus (1 Tim. 5:19-22; 2 Tim
James 5: 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
You're overgeneralizing there, man. I know you have good intentions, but to brand this man a heretic because you happen to be misinterpreting what he is saying is unfair and misleading. He has also been very outspoken against wokeness, and the resulting apostacy we are now seeing from some churches and other organizations claiming to serve the Lord, but who preach tolerance of immoral and sinful behavior in the name of inclusivity. One incorrect or misguided statement does not make one a heretic.
Next time someone asks you to pray for them, you better tell them no and tell them to just ask Jesus yourself cuz your prayer is worthless. And when they show you scripture confirming their request for intercession, just tell them they're necromancers and idolators. Everybody wins! Smh..
@-Thelordismyshepherd- I was being sarcastic. God knows all, is in all, and is everywhere. Our sin doesn't make Him INCAPABLE of hearing our prayers. He can do all things. Instead, sometimes we fall into sin. And I don't mean, just a small thing. Sometimes, we backslide and get caught up in our own desires. WE sepparate ourselves from Him, and consequently, we pray for things that are against His will. So because we ask wrongly and are living outside His will, He doesn't incline to listen to such a request. But instead, He prepare grace for when we decide to come back and ask for it. (Isaiah 59:1-2, James 4:3) So, obviously, if we ask for forgiveness, He hears us. But HEARING and APPROVING are two different things. My point is: The scriptures asks us to pray for each other (James 5:16). It also says, God is the God of the LIVING, not the dead. (Matthew 22:32) and that nothing sepparates us from the love of God, including natural death (Romans 8:38) It also says, when He appears, we shall be like Him (1 John 3:2) So we become partakers in HIS divine life. We won't just be some mortal humans in heaven, bound by earthly limitations. The scripture says we become new creations when we're born again! John, in Revelation, was able to see a multitude of all trides and languages and understood what they were saying. Only God can do that, and it only happened because God made it possible for John to do this (Revelation 7:9-10) Why are we now so closed minded to believe He can't do this with us? Especially when there's no references to that thought in the Bible. But instead, we see scriptures like Revelation 5:8 that shows angels presenting the prayers of the saints here on earth. Sure God knows everything, but yet, still, angels bring Him prayers. It's not for us to judge, only to accept and act accordingly. This way of thinking, by the way, has only become popular in the last 300 some years. Even Martin Luther himself had a devotion to Our Lady. There's a reason why people find comfort in knowing our recently passed loved ones are "watching over us." Not because they're just some weirdo's watching us from heaven with muted ear drums incapable of understanding whats going on...no because we will care about those on earth. Just like He does. And we won't stop praying for those we love here on earth or stop caring just because we're with Him. Because HE DOESN'T STOP CARING! He loves all of us, so when we get up there with Him, we'll care even more. So that Jesus' very words will be fufilled, in Luke 15:7. That we'll see when sinners repent, and when God sends His grace and mercy into people's hearts, and all of heaven will rejoice! That doesn't happen because we can't hear or see whats happening on earth. In short, my desire for God to work in people's lives doesn't stop because I'm with Him in heaven; because HIS desire is to save everyone! God can do anything He wants. Including enjoying us praying for people in a limited way while we're on earth, and an unlimited way in heaven. James 5:16 "Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful." Who more righteous than those who have washed their robes with the Blood of the Lamb, and have been found faultless by His cross, and admitted into the Kingdom of Heaven?
@-Thelordismyshepherd- I've rewritten this twice now, it keeps getting deleted, so bare with me. I was being sarcastic, my apologies. I believe God hears the prayers of everyone. Because God is in all things, He's everywhere, knows all things, and can do all things. He's omnipresent omnipotent and omniscient. However, the Bible also talks about a reality where He turns His ear away from those who are perishing (Psalm 66:18) and even those who have chosen to turn away from His commandments and follow after their own desires. (Proverbs 28:9) That our separation from Him causes Him to hide His face from us, so that He chooses not to listen to certain prayers. (Isaiah 59:1-2) Does this mean that He wouldn't then turn around and give eternal life to those same people if they're then crying out for His mercy? Yes of course He would! "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9) His GRACE is what saves us. (Ephesians 2:8-9) through faith, not works, if we just repent and trust in His Divine Mercy! But there's a difference between a sinner asking for forgivness of his/her sin to receive eternal salvation, and them asking for God to give them this new job, or get them out of a bad situation, or finding a new girlfriend/boyfriend that's probably going to be determental to them anyways. God is a just judge. He weighs the hearts of everyone. We reap what we sow, in this life or the next, and His justice over mine. His judgement over mine. I let it be His, and His alone. My point was, that this man is discrediting the prayers of the those who dwell in the heavenly spaces with Our Lord. People hear the word saint and thing idolotry or some negative thing. But in reality, who they are is a reality we both agree on. They're alive. More alive than either of us (Mark 12:27) and they're with Him. And we know that when we see Him, we will be glorified like Him in His heavenly relm. (1 John 3:2) We become new creations when we are born again in this life. A better translation would be, we become a new species. We become sons and daughters of God. Who is divine. We take on a part of His divine life. It comes from Him. This is why Jesus said we'd be able to do greater signs than the ones He even did! (John 14:12-14) because the Holy Spirit now dwells within the hearts of those who believe in Him. (Romans 8:9) Thats why the prayers of the followers of Christ are powerful. And even more than that, lets face it, there are those who get closer to Him than others. There are those who commit more, who sacrifice more, who obtain more discipline in thier spiritual life and have aligned their physical dicision making accordinging and live holy lives. This could be lay people or religious. Those prayers, of those righteous people are VERY powerful! And they have great outcomes. (James 5:16) Now, does that mean they're just goodie goods who are holier than thou? Of course not, that's actually opposite of what a saint is. A saint is a believer in Christ who is working out their salavation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12-13) Someone after God's own heart. And the closer we get to someone we love, the more we want to conform our lives to what they like and what they want. Well God's love is a consuming fire and transforms the most hardened of sinners, like myself..and turns them into goo lol! I love Jesus, thank You for Your mercy! Anyways, my point is, if God wants us to pray here on earth for each other (James 5:16), because we're in this spiritual battle of good and evil to the salvation of souls. To bring as many people to Him as possible and get closer to Him and conform our lives to His will, why would we then, after we die, and be like...okay I made it!... And oh! I see You Jesus, I see you fighting all these battles for those people on earth down there...I see it, and I know I was just praying for those people yesterday to get through this hard time in their lives..and I see You working...but..I'm gonna just kick back and chill.. No man..We're all in this together. We're the branches and He's the vine. This is why The Church calls the saints on earth, the Church Militant. They call the saints in heaven, the Church Triumphant. There's a reason why when our love ones die, and people comfort you by saying "They're in a better place and they're watching over you." Why? Because they're some weirdo people watching you, with somehow now no way of hearing you, or having any way of helping you? No, it would make more sense, that them being able to watch over you means they're in a position to pray for you if they see you ever needing help. In short, the Communion of Saints is simple. It's our mission, as Christians, to pray. To have a prayer life with God, and to pray for others. And combined, persistent prayers are powerful. I ask you to pray for me when I'm sick, because I know your pray, combined with mine, helps alot and is more powerful than praying alone. And that, that mission, doesn't end, once I leave this world. Only difference, it's super charged! God gives me the ability to see countless multitudes of people in the world, and understand their many languages when I'm in heaven, because God gives me this supernatural ability to, like He did for John. (Revelation 7:9-10) Is this so surprising that Catholics would believe in such a miracle? Of course not! We believe in miracles more than any Pentacostal service you go to. Where I know He moves as well btw. lol! The saints the Catholic Church venerate are those who they've declared are in heaven and have confirmed they've been given a special intercessory role in heaven. This is done through a series of tests and validations. It's not uncommon for communities of people to push for the cannonization of a saint, only to be rejected because there wasn't enough documented and validated evidence. When the Church officially cannonizes a saint, it is because they've tested everything and have confirmed this special role in the Church Triumphant. But they're no different than us. Just people! Like you and me. However, they're prayer warriors! I know you know a few here on earth! I know a few old ladies who will pray people into prison, only so God can finally save them! lol! I know it's hard to accept something we don't understand, but hopefully you do now. Those with ears to hear..

This video is totally evil as it is attacking a true Christian who is bringing Christ and only Christ 🙏☝️Repent before it is too late and God punishes you for your evil doing .
Youre saying absolute lies and youve contradicted yourself if you didnt notice. If anyones possesed by demon or is acting evil, its you! Shame on you! God have mercy on you, and may Jesus love you!
He is starting to show his real face now. Dont be deceived. The only way the truth and the life is Jesus only. We dont need anyone to go to Jesus. He will be with us until the end of this age.He is our high priest.
You have exposed yourself in talking bad about Mar Mari. I've learned SO MUCH FROM him and continued support for him. Please find another heretic to expose. This one is truly anointed
The big problem here is that everyone has their own religion and u will believe whatever ur little heart wants to! This pastor is very informative cuz he spends a lot of time in the word of god. Something most aren't doing. The alpha and Omega is separating the wheat from the tear. All glory to the one that is the beginning and end. The one who holds everything together.
Man the amount of lost in this thread is absolutely staggering. Anyone that claims this man isn't false is lost. I wouldn't necessarily say the man is evil, not by choice anyway.... But he most definitely doesn't preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I've had some doubts about the guy before, from a teaching that I cant even remember. However I do know that I figured it out and my faith got stronger. If you have any doubts about him and his teachings then actually research and find out the truth and not just listen to everything you hear. If ya'll were wise then you'd know we are currently being deceived and that the devil and his peons are doing everything they can to trick you and ruin your faith etc... Be strong brothers and sisters, have the courage to stand up for your faith and for our creator.
Only someone who watch a couple a minuts of his preaching can sey this, first saints apsoluly exsist, our faith is useless if it is not so, next- saints can help but only true Jesus Crist when he allows it, for it is writen prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective, they can't do it only GOD who is Jesus Crist the perfect representation of GOD in human form, then who are righteous ? righteous are those who GOD chosen , to be saved with blood of Jesus. Dose Mar Mari sometime have faults sure is a man but often God is speking true him, is writen REPENT , means do not sin intentionaly for GOD can't stand sin, is disgusting to him, and sure is will seem like he is a couple steps away from us to show us that he is displeased, but he offer us a peace true JESUS CRIST so Repent , means if you were going left turn and go right .. LOVE GOD ABOVE ALL -------- LOVE ONE ANOTHER MORE THEN YOURSELF.
You're talking about imputation, which occurs during repentance. Sancitification demands obedience. If you sin again, you need to repent/confess again. Once saved always saved is a heresy.
enemy of the church??? you definately got that wrong,,,, for all the sins church did through decedase church is the enemy of itself,,,,,every time he can he exposes the church priests & the chief in Vatican,,,,,to each their own,,,,
Bishop Mar Mari is not speaking falsely. It's suggested to read the Bible. Isaiah 59:2 (NKJV) But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear. John 8:7-11 King James Version (KJV) So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Hi brother,in Christ i want to say this that,one must not go against anyone.You may correct yourself in spirit instead of attacking some preacher like Mar Mari as the bible says,no one is perfect.I am from Nagaland (India)
whoever you are let me tell you that you are the enemy of the cross NOT our Father Mar Mari Emmanuel , & I remind you here with what our Lord Jesus said ( Father forgive them for they don’t know what they are doing ) & that goes to you too!! May our Lord forgive you✝️🙏🏻
Jesus said call no man on earth your father. Yet, here you are claiming this heretic is your father. Can you explain what Biblical support you have for your statements?
The bible warns at the end times that a lot of false prophets will try and breach the bible! Everyone in our days trying to become a prophet , so there is no doubt that we are living now in the times! May God have mercy on us! 🙏
Brother, you are confused. You can accept Jesus, but if you continue to live in sin, you are still walking away from the lord. Accepting that jesus is real is not enough to enter his kingdom. You have to repent and turn away from sin.
My brother in Christ - Thank you for your video. If I may respond - You are correct - we do not accept any mediator between God and man except the Lord Jesus Christ but there is a difference between praying to God and asking someone to pray for us. If I ask you to pray for me, I am not asking you to forgive my sins, it is simply a request to pray for me.
Praying to someone else is not Idolatry. Idolatry is idol worship, which means you put someone else in worship that's not God on the level of God or above God. Asking for intercession to a saint is not worship. And it's not necromancy because necromancy is when you talk to the dead for them to give you predictions or knowledge. And there's also theology being praying to the saints.
James 5:16 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition 16 Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much.
You are a lier,he is not evil he is the best ,he always speak the truth about jesus Christ,may the lord jesus Christ forgive you ,you dont know what you are talking about
Only Jesus can intercede. Dont pray to mary or the so called "saints." None of them matter, only Jesus matters. This mari dude never sat right with me.
Can anybody just start a youtube channel on religion now? I guess you don't have to be particularly educated but just think that you understand the Bible and you can comment on what a bishop says. Ridiculous. Mr Velchin you need about 15 years of study before you can comment on these things. He was made a bishop by a church that has existed for over 2000 years. You are sprouting things that began their existence with Martin Luther 500 years ago as a completely new way of understanding scripture and are likely from a branch of Christianity that has existed for less than 200 years. I'll go with the originals.

I dont agree with his more conservative positions, but is orthodox and im catholic and thats all. This man is with God and is very food in theology, 😊 so i listen to him very often, i remain catholic.
Mar Mari is actually saying that nobody but jesus christ can forgivr you, no even de saints of the church, so do not pray asking forgiveness do the saints, talk directly to jesus in your prayers, so that you develop a relationship with the true lord and savior of this world.
mari is a good man but he is teaching a false gospel and a works based gospel the bible says to Believe & Trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation

@@marksirifernando4198 Intercession and mediation share the common goal of connecting different parties, yet they serve distinct purposes. Intercession is about advocating or making requests on behalf of someone else, while mediation is centered on promoting dialogue and finding solutions between conflicting parties. In Christianity, Jesus Christ uniquely serves as the sole mediator between God and humanity, bringing reconciliation through His sacrifice. Meanwhile, believers can take on the role of intercessors, praying for each other and asking for God's help.

Shame bro i feel sorry for you. I really pray that you will find the truth. Mar Mari is a deciple of Jesus Christ and the truth. Thats why you are attacking him.
You told two lies before your second full stop mate.
its the small things that create cults, if he truly promotes praying to saints then that is no misspeak, or mistake, it affects the entire doctrine of scripture. You cant pray to saints, Jesus alone is our high priest that intercedes for us. I do believe God will not regard any requests we have until we repent. Obviously He can literally hear you, so when it says "if I regard sin in my heart you will not hear me" its implying your prayers are ignored until you repent, which you come to Jesus to confess and repent and He will forgive and restore and then will hear you. A high priest is not replaced as long as the current high Priest is alive, so since Jesus lives forever, He will be the only High Priest forever.
Mar Mari is a disciple of Jesus Christ and knows Him intimately and His love for Christ is undeniable. But coming from an Orthodox background he is veiled in some things. The Bible is crystal clear about Christ being sole mediator between us and God. Nowhere in the Bible will you find any believers praying for anything through other believers. And there is no verse spoken by Christ or apostles that would indicate otherwise. 1 Timothy 2:5-6 - New Living Translation (NLT) 5 For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity-the man Christ Jesus.
He doesn't preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. I wouldn't say he's evil... Just lost

Who are you to decide that Mar Mari is a heretic?
I mean he is from the assyrian church of the east which is nestorian which is often concidered heresy🤔
Intercession, as understood in the Christian tradition, is deeply rooted in the history and practice of venerating saints and seeking their intercession as a means to grow closer to God. Both Catholic and Orthodox churches emphasize the worship of one God, and their teachings make it clear that intercession is not about worshiping saints but asking for their prayers on our behalf. To dismiss this practice as improper overlooks the theological nuances and centuries of tradition that have shaped its role in Christian spirituality. Such a condemnation seems to lack a thorough understanding of these traditions and their significance
As a traditional Catholic of the Tridentine Latin Mass, I fully agree with you.
Pray directly to God through Jesus is the Biblical teaching.
As an orthodox agree with you100%Τhe protestants do not understand either the role of Mother Mary or the Saints. Especially Mary is above all Humans Saints Angels Archangels.....
I agree brother, as a heterodox who hasn't joined the Church, but believes it to be the truth.
Just because it became a tradition doesn't mean it is correct. Many teachings in chruches have no basis in scripture. Just like how the traditions of men came and overtook the true teachings of God, for the jews. Jesus Christ rebuked the pharisees for following the man made traditions rather than the ones given by God. Obey God's commandments to show that you love him, not the traditions of men.
This video is a lie in itself
Mar mari is right.
This man if God us under attack because he us bringing so many to God. Thus video is evil.
John 14:6
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
King James Version (KJV)
Whenever someone gains popularity, there will always come those who will try to bring them down. Mar Mari is not a heretic. You can disagree with some of his teachings, but a heretic? Mayne you should look much more into him and what he's really about.
When someone preach the true, evil people complain about it
So what interpretation do you give to what Mar Mari said?? He said very clearly that we should not pray to the saints and he is right, then he said that when we sin God does not listen to us until we repent of our sin we ask Jesus to wash us in his blood and then we have passage before of God.. Then you said that no one and nothing can separate us from God's Love... Sin puts a wall of separation between us and God!!! Heresies you speak, not Mar Mari!
This man Mari is a true annoited preacher of the Bible.
No he's not, and neither is this man in this video.
They're both apostate preachers. Moses said that if any man teach not to commandments, then do not listen to or follow them. Jesus said he did not come to do away with the law, but to fulfill them. He did so by doing two things, (1) living a perfectly sin free life and then, doing something no man could do, (2) die for our sins. This part of the law God the Father made for His Son, that only His Son could be a blood atonement for our sins.
All those who say the death and resurrection of our slain messiah did away with the law, blaspheme His sacrifice.
Both of these men are blaspheming the sacrifice of our slain Messiah, and so are you by defending them.

You are totally wrong, Bishop Mari is truly a man of God and has a deeply personal relationship with Jesus
I think the way Mar Mari reacted after that attack on his life is telling us all we need to know. He has the love of God living inside of him. You may not agree with everything he says, neither do I, but let's leave it at that. Are you claiming to know everything about God and the way He wants to be honored? In my opinion it is testimony to God's sense of humor that He has all given us some enlightenment in certain aspects of who He truly is. To gain a greater insight in Him, we need the communion with other fellow believers to learn from eachother. Let's pray for the removal of that beam in our own eyes first before we start mentioning the splinter in someone else's eye
What about the devil that tried to tempt Jesus in the wilderness for 40 days? The devil would quote scripture and also quote verses but would add or take away words here and there to try and twist the meaning. So should we follow what you say about Mar Mari and apply it to the devil?
Thankyou for your comments John. You have wisdom grace and truth. God bless you brother.
@@SKRooU2 As Salomon said: research all things. It isn't because we know everything that we should judge, it is in the spirit of love and humility that we can listen to people that differ from us and learn from them.
It is the people that suffer from cognitive dissonance that can't handle hearing different opinions because that's what most of religion is; just different opinions or explanations for the same Bible. If God would judge us for getting everything right in life, heaven is going to be completely empty. We will need eternity to understand Him.
God bless you on your path towards perfection, and if you already arrived there: I'll pray God to open your eyes 😉👍
i think he meant when prayers go "Pray for us", because saints usually mean they are close with God, like St. Peter, St. Thomas, St. Mary etc. etc. so that means we're asking saints and people of God to pray for us in Heaven.
I think.
But scripture is very clear about NOT trying to talk to, pray to or try to contact the dead. It is called necromancing and sorcery.
@@SKRooU2 oohhh
You can ask saints to pray for you. I think there's a big misconception that people think we worship them but we don't.
Damn bro, you're getting cooked in the comments. 😵💫
But also, Sin WILL kill you spiritually. It leads to spiritual death 100%. BUT! Jesus can help and assist to resurrect you from this death.
When Christ was crucified on the cross for our sins, the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom before the high priest who had a hand in Christ's crucifixion, showing that for one and all time that we were allowed in through our prayers before God and needed no intercessor except Christ our LORD!!
Have you ever asked someone to pray for you? That means they just interceded for you.
@@PantocratorFollower ,I was talking about one on one prayers with our LORD, Christ, Immanuel, GOD WITH US, not prayers for healing intercessory prayers through the body of Christ for healing. We join together as one body through Christ's holy spirit in praying for healing etc...

You western church don't get it ... We Orthodox Christian get it and it's biblical for Christian to intercede to each other ... How will sit and talk with st. Peters and the others if you don't have any relationship with them . Before Christianity reaches Europe we had had with us for 1000 year 😂
Please give us 1 quote from the Bible to support your point. The only intercession the Bible talks about is Christ as our Heavenly Advocate. There is no mention of any other saints interceding. We the living may intercede for others but I dont see anything in the Bible about how dead saints could intercede for us here. And especially in relation to our sins being forgiven.
Only Christ can forgive us our sins and we have to come directly to Him. For sure noone else has this power. Whether dead or living. If Christ does not forgive us, how could the saints change His decision? And if He forgives us, what's the use to ask the saints for their intercession?

Mar Mari is a heretic, yes, but this Velchin guy is even more of a heretic. He just denied the 'communion of saints' which is in the Apostle's creed. He also said basically "Once saved, always saved" which is pure heresy.

So you are saying he shouldn't point out the fact that Mar Mari is teaching necromancing which is sorcery? How is it bringing people closer to God when he says it is ok to pray to someone other than God? Last time I checked whoever you are praying to is the one you are worshipping.
@@SKRooU2 you are a living example of why people teach wrong, it's bcz YOU DON'T LISTEN. If you actually listen with an open heart and not just with your ears, you'd understand that we don't pray FOR saints in the way you say it, we pray for saints to ask them for their intercession, because everybody (including you), cannot disproof their holiness and how close they are to god by the miracles that even atheists believe in. Another thing while i'm burying you with your own words, if you actually read the bible, intersession is all over the place, like in Genesis 18:16-33 with Abraham and also in Mark 2:2-12 with the handicapped man, If it wasn't for his friends bringing him down the roof to be healed (aka intersession of his friends), he wouldn't have been healed (pls dont understand it as if his friends healed him, i know his faith did but if it wasn't bcz of his friends he wouldn't be there). I will pray for you also dont worry❤️
@@josephziadee that's different. Those Saints are deceased. Heaven is in another realm and dimension. You can't contact them if you wanted.

Question for you,
Do you believe God hears your prayers?
@-Thelordismyshepherd- I was being sarcastic. God knows all, is in all, and is everywhere. Our sin doesn't make Him INCAPABLE of hearing our prayers. He can do all things. Instead, sometimes we fall into sin. And I don't mean, just a small thing. Sometimes, we backslide and get caught up in our own desires. WE sepparate ourselves from Him, and consequently, we pray for things that are against His will. So because we ask wrongly and are living outside His will, He doesn't incline to listen to such a request. But instead, He prepare grace for when we decide to come back and ask for it. (Isaiah 59:1-2, James 4:3) So, obviously, if we ask for forgiveness, He hears us. But HEARING and APPROVING are two different things. My point is: The scriptures asks us to pray for each other (James 5:16). It also says, God is the God of the LIVING, not the dead. (Matthew 22:32) and that nothing sepparates us from the love of God, including natural death (Romans 8:38) It also says, when He appears, we shall be like Him (1 John 3:2) So we become partakers in HIS divine life. We won't just be some mortal humans in heaven, bound by earthly limitations. The scripture says we become new creations when we're born again! John, in Revelation, was able to see a multitude of all trides and languages and understood what they were saying. Only God can do that, and it only happened because God made it possible for John to do this (Revelation 7:9-10) Why are we now so closed minded to believe He can't do this with us? Especially when there's no references to that thought in the Bible. But instead, we see scriptures like Revelation 5:8 that shows angels presenting the prayers of the saints here on earth. Sure God knows everything, but yet, still, angels bring Him prayers. It's not for us to judge, only to accept and act accordingly. This way of thinking, by the way, has only become popular in the last 300 some years. Even Martin Luther himself had a devotion to Our Lady. There's a reason why people find comfort in knowing our recently passed loved ones are "watching over us." Not because they're just some weirdo's watching us from heaven with muted ear drums incapable of understanding whats going on...no because we will care about those on earth. Just like He does. And we won't stop praying for those we love here on earth or stop caring just because we're with Him. Because HE DOESN'T STOP CARING! He loves all of us, so when we get up there with Him, we'll care even more. So that Jesus' very words will be fufilled, in Luke 15:7. That we'll see when sinners repent, and when God sends His grace and mercy into people's hearts, and all of heaven will rejoice! That doesn't happen because we can't hear or see whats happening on earth. In short, my desire for God to work in people's lives doesn't stop because I'm with Him in heaven; because HIS desire is to save everyone! God can do anything He wants. Including enjoying us praying for people in a limited way while we're on earth, and an unlimited way in heaven. James 5:16 "Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful." Who more righteous than those who have washed their robes with the Blood of the Lamb, and have been found faultless by His cross, and admitted into the Kingdom of Heaven?
@@Thecatholicchannel sorry, let me rephrase that.
Do you believe God hears the prayers of unbelievers?
@-Thelordismyshepherd- I've rewritten this twice now, it keeps getting deleted, so bare with me.
I was being sarcastic, my apologies. I believe God hears the prayers of everyone. Because God is in all things, He's everywhere, knows all things, and can do all things. He's omnipresent omnipotent and omniscient. However, the Bible also talks about a reality where He turns His ear away from those who are perishing (Psalm 66:18) and even those who have chosen to turn away from His commandments and follow after their own desires. (Proverbs 28:9) That our separation from Him causes Him to hide His face from us, so that He chooses not to listen to certain prayers. (Isaiah 59:1-2) Does this mean that He wouldn't then turn around and give eternal life to those same people if they're then crying out for His mercy? Yes of course He would! "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9) His GRACE is what saves us. (Ephesians 2:8-9) through faith, not works, if we just repent and trust in His Divine Mercy! But there's a difference between a sinner asking for forgivness of his/her sin to receive eternal salvation, and them asking for God to give them this new job, or get them out of a bad situation, or finding a new girlfriend/boyfriend that's probably going to be determental to them anyways. God is a just judge. He weighs the hearts of everyone. We reap what we sow, in this life or the next, and His justice over mine. His judgement over mine. I let it be His, and His alone. My point was, that this man is discrediting the prayers of the those who dwell in the heavenly spaces with Our Lord. People hear the word saint and thing idolotry or some negative thing. But in reality, who they are is a reality we both agree on. They're alive. More alive than either of us (Mark 12:27) and they're with Him. And we know that when we see Him, we will be glorified like Him in His heavenly relm. (1 John 3:2) We become new creations when we are born again in this life. A better translation would be, we become a new species. We become sons and daughters of God. Who is divine. We take on a part of His divine life. It comes from Him. This is why Jesus said we'd be able to do greater signs than the ones He even did! (John 14:12-14) because the Holy Spirit now dwells within the hearts of those who believe in Him. (Romans 8:9) Thats why the prayers of the followers of Christ are powerful. And even more than that, lets face it, there are those who get closer to Him than others. There are those who commit more, who sacrifice more, who obtain more discipline in thier spiritual life and have aligned their physical dicision making accordinging and live holy lives. This could be lay people or religious. Those prayers, of those righteous people are VERY powerful! And they have great outcomes. (James 5:16) Now, does that mean they're just goodie goods who are holier than thou? Of course not, that's actually opposite of what a saint is. A saint is a believer in Christ who is working out their salavation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12-13) Someone after God's own heart. And the closer we get to someone we love, the more we want to conform our lives to what they like and what they want. Well God's love is a consuming fire and transforms the most hardened of sinners, like myself..and turns them into goo lol! I love Jesus, thank You for Your mercy! Anyways, my point is, if God wants us to pray here on earth for each other (James 5:16), because we're in this spiritual battle of good and evil to the salvation of souls. To bring as many people to Him as possible and get closer to Him and conform our lives to His will, why would we then, after we die, and be like...okay I made it!... And oh! I see You Jesus, I see you fighting all these battles for those people on earth down there...I see it, and I know I was just praying for those people yesterday to get through this hard time in their lives..and I see You working...but..I'm gonna just kick back and chill.. No man..We're all in this together. We're the branches and He's the vine. This is why The Church calls the saints on earth, the Church Militant. They call the saints in heaven, the Church Triumphant. There's a reason why when our love ones die, and people comfort you by saying "They're in a better place and they're watching over you." Why? Because they're some weirdo people watching you, with somehow now no way of hearing you, or having any way of helping you? No, it would make more sense, that them being able to watch over you means they're in a position to pray for you if they see you ever needing help. In short, the Communion of Saints is simple. It's our mission, as Christians, to pray. To have a prayer life with God, and to pray for others. And combined, persistent prayers are powerful. I ask you to pray for me when I'm sick, because I know your pray, combined with mine, helps alot and is more powerful than praying alone. And that, that mission, doesn't end, once I leave this world. Only difference, it's super charged! God gives me the ability to see countless multitudes of people in the world, and understand their many languages when I'm in heaven, because God gives me this supernatural ability to, like He did for John. (Revelation 7:9-10) Is this so surprising that Catholics would believe in such a miracle? Of course not! We believe in miracles more than any Pentacostal service you go to. Where I know He moves as well btw. lol! The saints the Catholic Church venerate are those who they've declared are in heaven and have confirmed they've been given a special intercessory role in heaven. This is done through a series of tests and validations. It's not uncommon for communities of people to push for the cannonization of a saint, only to be rejected because there wasn't enough documented and validated evidence. When the Church officially cannonizes a saint, it is because they've tested everything and have confirmed this special role in the Church Triumphant. But they're no different than us. Just people! Like you and me. However, they're prayer warriors! I know you know a few here on earth! I know a few old ladies who will pray people into prison, only so God can finally save them! lol! I know it's hard to accept something we don't understand, but hopefully you do now. Those with ears to hear..
@-Thelordismyshepherd- Forgive me, this is the 3rd time I've rewritten this. It keeps getting deleted.
I was being sarcastic, my apologies. I believe God hears the prayers of everyone. Because God is in all things, He's everywhere, knows all things, and can do all things. He's omnipresent omnipotent and omniscient. However, the Bible also talks about a reality where He turns His ear away from those who are perishing (Psalm 66:18) and even those who have chosen to turn away from His commandments and follow after their own desires. (Proverbs 28:9) That our separation from Him causes Him to hide His face from us, so that He chooses not to listen to certain prayers. (Isaiah 59:1-2) Does this mean that He wouldn't then turn around and give eternal life to those same people if they're then crying out for His mercy? Yes of course He would! "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9) His GRACE is what saves us. (Ephesians 2:8-9) through faith, not works, if we just repent and trust in His Divine Mercy! But there's a difference between a sinner asking for forgivness of his/her sin to receive eternal salvation, and them asking for God to give them this new job, or get them out of a bad situation, or finding a new girlfriend/boyfriend that's probably going to be determental to them anyways.

This video is totally evil as it is attacking a true Christian who is bringing Christ and only Christ 🙏☝️Repent before it is too late and God punishes you for your evil doing .
If you want to dispute what Mar Mari says, then you need to quote the scriptures that proves it.
Mr. Velchin , this pastor already gave his eye and didn't even stopped preaching GOD'S word . What's your problem ?
No he lied about his eyes! It was a set up
We love you seydna mar Mari . Let them first fixed there western Christian falling 😂... We the Eastern churches are strong and growing stronger 😂😂😂
Youre saying absolute lies and youve contradicted yourself if you didnt notice. If anyones possesed by demon or is acting evil, its you! Shame on you! God have mercy on you, and may Jesus love you!
clearly you dont know the concept of the saints😂
He is starting to show his real face now. Dont be deceived. The only way the truth and the life is Jesus only. We dont need anyone to go to Jesus. He will be with us until the end of this age.He is our high priest.
You have exposed yourself in talking bad about Mar Mari. I've learned SO MUCH FROM him and continued support for him. Please find another heretic to expose. This one is truly anointed
The big problem here is that everyone has their own religion and u will believe whatever ur little heart wants to! This pastor is very informative cuz he spends a lot of time in the word of god. Something most aren't doing. The alpha and Omega is separating the wheat from the tear. All glory to the one that is the beginning and end. The one who holds everything together.
Love Mar Mari’s teaching and stop spreading misinformation. Isaiah 29: 21 God will destroy those who slander others…
Man the amount of lost in this thread is absolutely staggering.
Anyone that claims this man isn't false is lost.
I wouldn't necessarily say the man is evil, not by choice anyway.... But he most definitely doesn't preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
He's definitely evil.
You don't know what you're talking about!
You are attacking the Bishop just as it says will happen in the bible. Matthew 23:34
I've had some doubts about the guy before, from a teaching that I cant even remember. However I do know that I figured it out and my faith got stronger. If you have any doubts about him and his teachings then actually research and find out the truth and not just listen to everything you hear. If ya'll were wise then you'd know we are currently being deceived and that the devil and his peons are doing everything they can to trick you and ruin your faith etc... Be strong brothers and sisters, have the courage to stand up for your faith and for our creator.
Who would believe a guy in a trucker hat, and who has no idea what a razor is????
Who would believe some hateful weirdo dressed up like Saruman from Lord of the Rings? Besides a bunch of brain dead weirdos.
👋 🤡
None of that is relevant. Do you have any Biblical support for your position?
Mar Mari belongs to Jesus, no person can talk like that without permission of God.
You're discernment is zero and your opinion is worthless. 👋 🤡
Only someone who watch a couple a minuts of his preaching can sey this, first saints apsoluly exsist, our faith is useless if it is not so, next- saints can help but only true Jesus Crist when he allows it, for it is writen prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective, they can't do it only GOD who is Jesus Crist the perfect representation of GOD in human form, then who are righteous ? righteous are those who GOD chosen , to be saved with blood of Jesus. Dose Mar Mari sometime have faults sure is a man but often God is speking true him, is writen REPENT , means do not sin intentionaly for GOD can't stand sin, is disgusting to him, and sure is will seem like he is a couple steps away from us to show us that he is displeased, but he offer us a peace true JESUS CRIST so Repent , means if you were going left turn and go right .. LOVE GOD ABOVE ALL -------- LOVE ONE ANOTHER MORE THEN YOURSELF.
You're talking about imputation, which occurs during repentance. Sancitification demands obedience. If you sin again, you need to repent/confess again. Once saved always saved is a heresy.
enemy of the church??? you definately got that wrong,,,, for all the sins church did through decedase church is the enemy of itself,,,,,every time he can he exposes the church priests & the chief in Vatican,,,,,to each their own,,,,
If you don't sin then Jesus died for nothing
Get behind me Satan.
This Preacher lightning up the way of truth for me so i don´t loose track on my way and is a very good man. Jesus Christ is the only one.
Bishop Mar Mari is not speaking falsely. It's suggested to read the Bible.
Isaiah 59:2 (NKJV)
But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear.
John 8:7-11 King James Version (KJV)
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
may you get vision of the lord jesus christ tonight, prayers for you brother.
Hi brother,in Christ i want to say this that,one must not go against anyone.You may correct yourself in spirit instead of attacking some preacher like Mar Mari as the bible says,no one is perfect.I am from Nagaland (India)
I disagree with Mar Mari on that point.
But calling him a wolf in sheep clothes and "evil" is really harsh...
We Christians ought to be United.
"For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus," i Timothy 2:5
whoever you are let me tell you that you are the enemy of the cross NOT our Father Mar Mari Emmanuel , & I remind you here with what our Lord Jesus said ( Father forgive them for they don’t know what they are doing ) & that goes to you too!! May our Lord forgive you✝️🙏🏻
Jesus said call no man on earth your father. Yet, here you are claiming this heretic is your father. Can you explain what Biblical support you have for your statements?
The bible warns at the end times that a lot of false prophets will try and breach the bible! Everyone in our days trying to become a prophet , so there is no doubt that we are living now in the times! May God have mercy on us! 🙏
We love the sun of Messiah Mar Mari
He is the true man God's Angel ❤️
I guess this guy is perfect and holy? Everytime someone tries to serve and glorify GOD there is somebody else trying to destroy them.
The devil doesn't like to hear the truth
We do intercede for each other; we lose confidence because Jesus moves away from us; Emanuel didn't say the rest your saying, Jesus wisdom!
Thank you.
Brother, you are confused. You can accept Jesus, but if you continue to live in sin, you are still walking away from the lord. Accepting that jesus is real is not enough to enter his kingdom. You have to repent and turn away from sin.
You thought Jesus interceding on our behalf🤔are your sure you’re saved
My brother in Christ - Thank you for your video. If I may respond - You are correct - we do not accept any mediator between God and man except the Lord Jesus Christ but there is a difference between praying to God and asking someone to pray for us. If I ask you to pray for me, I am not asking you to forgive my sins, it is simply a request to pray for me.
Mar mari saying no saint can forgive our sins only Our Lord Jesus. That what he is saying. I think you are not listening correctly.
Only God can save us from are sins
Praying to someone else is not Idolatry. Idolatry is idol worship, which means you put someone else in worship that's not God on the level of God or above God. Asking for intercession to a saint is not worship.
And it's not necromancy because necromancy is when you talk to the dead for them to give you predictions or knowledge. And there's also theology being praying to the saints.
Mar mari preaches the truth and the truth only...
This video is short and the man is angry. 😊😊😊Very angry to be the judge.
James 5:16
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
16 Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much.
You are a lier,he is not evil he is the best ,he always speak the truth about jesus Christ,may the lord jesus Christ forgive you ,you dont know what you are talking about
Only Jesus can intercede. Dont pray to mary or the so called "saints." None of them matter, only Jesus matters. This mari dude never sat right with me.
The heretic are you. His teachings, at least what you presented here, are right.
Il take the word of a man whose giving his life to Jesus his whole life over some bloke who looks like a trucker any day
You're wrong. Stop it.
Only angry man can makes the video against bishop Mari. We know who is the king of angry emotions. The devil.
Thank you
You right
God Bless you
Jesus got angry with the money changers at the temple. Are you sure ?
Can anybody just start a youtube channel on religion now? I guess you don't have to be particularly educated but just think that you understand the Bible and you can comment on what a bishop says. Ridiculous. Mr Velchin you need about 15 years of study before you can comment on these things. He was made a bishop by a church that has existed for over 2000 years. You are sprouting things that began their existence with Martin Luther 500 years ago as a completely new way of understanding scripture and are likely from a branch of Christianity that has existed for less than 200 years. I'll go with the originals.
Dude you need to pray fast and ready the Bible. You don’t know what your even talking about to be spreading rumors about this man. He speaks truth. His love for Jesus is contagious.
The nonsense comes from this host, not the bishop. Yes, beware of false teachers indeed.
How is what I said nonsense? Can I get some supporting material for your statement?
Love Mar Maris teachings. EVERYTHING HE SAYS IS 100% CORRECT EXCEPT WHAT HE TEACHES HERE. WE CAN PRAY DIRECTLY TO GOD. WE DO NOT NEED A SAINT TO
pray to or with us. ...............CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE BISHOP SUDDENLY WENT AWOL.
Mar marie is of more of Authodox, if you never come across with Authordox Bible, please ppl of God, find this Bible and learn more about things of God.
Mar Mary is amazing
God bless and protect.
Men with beard
Tallk no sence.
Stay away from commenting about Mar Mari
God is listening
Be careful
Forward with the word of God bishop Mar we love you man of God
Bishop Mari Mari is true Servant of God. You are not Catholic. You know Roman Catholic Apostolic Church founded by Jesus 33 AD . You don't have an Authority to judge you are a sinner not God .
For all believers. Please watch this video, Lord Helps, Archangel Michael Warns,Most dangerous period has. ❤️🕯️🙏
Why do you chooses to spew hate and speak false allegations? Challenge his teachings but calling him a heretic without scripture?
I dont agree with his more conservative positions, but is orthodox and im catholic and thats all. This man is with God and is very food in theology, 😊 so i listen to him very often, i remain catholic.
This is the Orthodox Christianity values that Mar maria talk about
You are wrong on your critic
What credentials does this commentator have? Education? Life experience…..this guy doesn’t even understand what Mar Mari is saying???
