Are you trying to spell words the way the Irish pronounce their words? On you tube?
Either you are fake or stupid. More than likely both, to be sure.
I think I would rather read the stuff from big boy.
At least he makes sense when he writes something.
Sum'ting would be better for you to understand.

As an Orthodox how would you explain Orthodox fights in israel? Armenian "Christians" and Orthodox "Christians" were fighting today. After all what you Orthodox have done throughout of centures how do not you feel shame saying "God is with us"..
Orthodox Christians ... ( 1 week ago by ukerkater)
Orthodox Christians don't need to explain the behaviour of those monks. They do not represent the Church-- they are members and sinners like the rest of us. It is up to those involved to repent and seek forgiveness. The Church has clearly stated that holding nationality above the Church is a sin (philetism). As Orthodox Christians, we seek forgiveness on an individual level and as a group we pray for those in our Church to find their way. God IS with us because we are sinners and we need Him.

So, then by your logic the child molester Catholic priests are the "fruit of the spirit" which is Catholicism. Yikes! I can deal with someone who has a man to man fist fight. I have huge issues with someone who molests a small boy for his own sexual gratification. By the way, I see that you like to troll Orthodox sites and post the same ridiculous comments. Are you doing this in the spirit of Chrisitan love too?

Sorry, I assumed that you were Catholic, but now that I have read your posts on other videos, I see that you are a Jehovah's.

So clearly, Orthodox and Catholic believe in a forgiving God,...Christ gives us a new commandment that we love one another, just as he (Christ--God and Man) has loved us.
I don't believe ... ( 1 week ago by ukerkater)
I don't believe that I can judge those monks or those Catholic priests. I can only pray for others. You apparently think that you have a right to do God's work by condemning others. My previous response regarding the Catholic priests was simply to say that your logic is flawed. Neither the monks nor the priests represent their respective churches. By sinning we fall away from God. Through repentance we gain redemption.

Not that I'm particularly interested in your organization, but if you type in "Jehovah's Witness sexual abuse" on Google,a miriad of testimonials come up that talk about sexual abuse, rape, and pedophilia within your organization.Reporting of incidents is suppressed by the organization, although officially everything is presented as if it's above board.I guess that those who perceive themselves as morally righteous are probably in great (probably greater) need of redemption.

My comments are to show that there is no point being self righteous because we all sin.

Phaqtebi dont try ... ( 3 days ago by hye4kyank03)
Phaqtebi dont try to know why they fought becouse you will not understand. All christians think that they fought because it was in the holiest city in the world and in the holiest place of the city. Does this say anything to you? Do you imagine how much satan tries to do something in there? What can he do ?Evel spirits cant inspire them to sin or it is hard at least b/c they are monks and in the holiest place,so he tried to use another strategy he did everything and he had success.
the fact is that ... ( 3 days ago by hye4kyank03)
the fact is that satan now laughs and if you laugh you are just like satan. Both armenians and greeks were guilty of this fight , we are all sinners , and i really hope that they will confess their sins. And i will say again that the fact that they fought means that was the holiest place of the world because if it is the holiest place of course there will be a lot of evel spirits which try to make them sin, their strategy was to provocate the fight.You won't be saved if you are not christian.
One more thing, did ... ( 3 days ago by hye4kyank03)
One more thing, did you ever hear that orthodox people fight somewhere else in the world? of course not. So open your mind. And you have to be baptized to understand that Jesus is Lord(in order to receive the Holy spirit). Because "No one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy spirit".

You said: "did you ever hear that orthodox people fight somewhere else in the world?"

I am talking about fights like that( between monks and very religious people). Even if you tell me it does not mean anything yet. Because we all fight because we are so weak and even you fight Phaqtebi. But i wanna know ,tell me what you heard and what you have seen.
And i forgot to ask ... ( 3 days ago by hye4kyank03)
And i forgot to ask you ,do you now know answer to your question? you asked why they fought. And i answered.
I am armenian and it does not matter who was the initiator of that fight the fact is they both were guilty because they just can't fight esp. in the holiest place of the world and this could be a lesson for us to understand how strong enemy we have(satan). So we have to be very careful not to turn away from orthodox FAITH.satan also made islam,jehova witnesses,etc. it's TRAP.

Now you go and blame to Satan :)
You better remember the words Jesus said: "By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves.- JOHN 13:35

"Just pray, pray a lot and ask God to give you the ability to understand the truth. Because if you understand the truth after death that will be too late.
God bless you.
