Syrian Orthodox Church in Jerusalem

[KABcontrols]

'Eesa (alayhissalaam) is with the believers inshaAllah. If you take a human being for God, you will burn in hell for eternity. 

[TheYOSHIDUDES]

I heard syrians are nestorians. is this true? somebody respond.

[JJMATHIAS23]

@TheYOSHIDUDES I'm a Syrian Orthodox Christian from Kerala, India, but I was born in the United States. I have noticed that we share similar surnames with Assyrians and Persian Christians. I don't know if it's derived from the same people. There are two types of Nestorians, Assyrian Nestorians and Persian Nestorians. They might have both been a part of the same church.

[koringn]

one word unites us all orthodox.

[umaara100]

These are the Ancient rites.Eastern and Western and Oriental rite churches makes up the true church not Bishop Eddie long.

[umaara100]

It is time for the true church East and West to become one.

[umaara100]

Is this the Church talk about in the book of act.The church that came about in ancient antioch.

[umaara100]

Could a Eastern Catholic partake of your sacraments

[february17able]

To have peace in the Holy Land. Everyone needs to throw out the Papacy and his Jesuits, and have there leaders stop being mason serving the Jesuit Order and Papacy.

[february17able]

They want to follow Rome. What a disaster. The Pope is the archheretic.

[homewoodcora]

i can dig THIS Christian lifestyle more than any others.

[zethiopia]

God bless Orthodox ! from Ethiopia

[umaara100]

By the way if i belong to An EASTERN Orthodox church and i visited your church could i partake of the sacrament

[umaara100]

Thanks,i never thought about that.I thought it might have had something to do with Egypt.Because Egypt had alot to do with the growth of Ancient Christianity

[shaibykoshy]

far from israel,in the southern part of india,in kerala we are living with the old traditions and still retaining the syrian liturgy.

[uoromoyo]

we are from aram-nahrin we speak aramaic und we are arameans

syriac-orthodox for life

[umaara100]

Please someone,tell me about the bishops staff with the two serpents.What dose this mean.I only see this in Orthodoxy

[shaibykoshy]

@umaara100 it reminds u of the staff used by moses while bringing the isaelites to the land of canan, the serpents killed many and when moses prayed to lord ,he asked moses to make a staff with serpents and whoever get snake bitten should look into the staff and they will be saved.

[politicaltourist]

@umaara100 It is a symbol of the bronze serpent that cured the Israelites from snake bites held up by Moses in theSinai Wilderness; As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life - (John 3:14-15)

[MrGeogie]

All the orthodox church must unite, for example 1syrian church, oriental church,eastern orthodox church and the Coptic church

[MrCopticforever]

Hello. I'm coptic orthadox and was wondering if I am allowed to take communion in the syrian orthadox church. Also am I allowed to serve my rank as a decon as I am in the coptic church. Thank you!

[Rahula]

@MrCopticforever

Yes. The Coptic Orthodox Church is in FULL communion with the Syriac Orthodox Church, the Armenian Apostolic Church, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and the Eritrean Orthodox Church.

[ILLVILLE]

@MrCopticforever ofcourse you can! at the end of the day we are all christians! god bless you!

[cheekkiller]

AMEN

[TheUria24]

what the hell this is israel land not Arab Jordanian Palestinian muslims or Christian

I have no problem with the Arabs Syrians Christians but I will not let you lie on Israeli soil

Respect Israel that let you live in the capital of Israel the Jewish State

[betheman002]

@TheUria24 israel may be a jewish state but be tolerant for centuries we christians have allowed you to build synagougue in our realm. especially india (cochin jew) you must not be so quick to forget the help you recieved shlomo

[TheUria24]

@betheman002

ho froget we love india

They are our best friends

one of the best states in the world

[MrCopticforever]

@TheUria24 sryians are not arab. Nor are copts

[TheUria24]

@MrCopticforever

i now thay are not

Well maybe I should add or after Syrians

[MrDiem2]

@MrCopticforever Seriously I think Arab hatred has gone long enough, most Syriac orhtodox churches now are almost entirely Arabic speaking (still write in Syriac though), you know what is the number 1 thing that determents your ethnicity? The language you speak, I even went to a Syriac orthodox church here in Sweden and asked a few people their if they were Arabs or not, and virtually all of them said "HELL NO" (except a few ones who were not self-haters), but then presided to commune in Arabic

[tmsods]

stop arguing, the important thing is that we all believe in Jesus Christ and that we belong to Churches that were founded on his name (unlike Jehova's Whitnesses or Anglicans).

-from a Catholic

[MrCopticforever]

@tmsods I belive in unity

[rebeccaabdallah]

I love this guy. At 9:30...very true words.

[Assyria4eva]

God bless West Assyrians!

[rx7sign]

Beautiful. 

[konig82new]

Do they have any difference from Greek Orthodox? I think not, they belong also to the ecoumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.

[2Nikolaos3]

@konig82new yes they have, we - Eastern Orthodox cancelled communion with them in the 5th century. than, we and Catholic church were one.

they only liturgicaly look like us, but they don belong to E.P of Constantinople, we have't one faith and our churches aren't in comunion with each other.

Eastern Orthodox.

[dunyaye1]

@konig82new

Yes, every orthodox church has its own Patriarchate and is different. Even when Byzance were dominating our church, there were still paying taxes to the Syriac orthodox church. The Patriarchate of Antioch was the first place where 'christians' were mentionned for the first time in history. The Greeks burned during three months the original version of the Bible, which was written in Aramaic. That's why the new testament was found in Greek. The Syriac church is much older.

[ggaebo]

@dunyaye1

you say the Greeks burned the version of the Bible I'm curious where did you get that information from.

[konig82new]

@dunyaye1 I know about the differences between Constantinople and the southern lands of Byzantium,but these were mostly political and economical,not so much theological.About the Aramaic version of the bible that was burned, is the first time that I listen something like this. Can you please give me some historical sources? Why the Greeks to do that? All the christianic eastern poppulations of the roman empire,including the Greeks, were suffering from the Roman rule,that was not accepting them

[skcvstang]

God Bless the Syrian Orthodox Churches everywhere! Brothers and sisters in Christ forever!!

[kunjumaster]

I speak for the 5.6 million syrian orthodox ppl frm Kerala when i say God bless us all

[jalooty]

the oldest churches in the world (the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Syrian Orthodox) how kind is God to provide us with these ancient and apostolic churches........

[Aramaye]

God bless the Aramean Syriac people and all the Christianity

[Assyrianland]

God bless my people, Assyrian/Syriac are one people!

[papovitch1]

@Assyrianland BROTHER! We send blessings to syria from Russia, Serbia and Greece, May Holy God send peace to the midleeastern christian brothers!

[VyckRo]

Nice!

5*****

[CreationistsWON]

Indeed !!!! Very nice and thanks for the link, Aramaic spoken by Christ, why do I get wet eyes now ? LOL, we live in Holland too. 5*

[demonheunet]

why is there two snakes on their staffs?

[violinlover07]

it goes to the time of Moses when the people were plague with snakes and Moses saved them with a staff(Exodus). The cross in the middle symbolizes that Christ was the one to do it

[demonheunet]

Thank you very much! This is like an ancient symbol....modern churches would never accept this!!

[TheArabChristian]

i am eastern orthodox, i believe both eastern and oriental orthodox should unite as one again! we have the exact same faith! GOD bless my oriental orthodox brothers and sisters.

[x1000year]

Gos bless you.. I pray for you

[2Nikolaos3]

@TheArabChristian you mean you don't recognize concil of Chalcedon? we are diophysits. and they - monophysits.

monophysitism has three branches: Nestorianism, Eutychianism and Doscorianism - miaphysitism. miaphysits are Oriental non-Chalcedonians.

may god help you!

[rebeccaabdallah]

@2Nikolaos3 Oriental Orthodox are not monophysites. Monophysites believe that Christ has one divine nature only, miaphysites do not accept this.  The word Monophysite was used to denigrate the Oriental Orthodox because they would not fall into line with Rome. In reality, the difference between Chalcedonian and non-Chalcedonian churches is an academic one as the gentleman in the video points out. And as the comment below mine says, the important thing is that we are all Christians.

[2Nikolaos3]

@rebeccaabdallah yah, I know what you mean. actually words ''Monophysite'' and ''Miaphysite'' have same meaning.

Monophysite means ''one nature''. and has three branches:

Nestorianism - only human nature, Eutychianism - only divine nature and Dioscorianism - divine and human natures combined in one nature. all of these recognize only one nature (but word monophysite came after Chalcdonian council and Nestorians are seldom called Monophysites).

[2Nikolaos3]

@rebeccaabdallah the difference is that Dioscorians ''Miaphysites'', non-chalcedonians recognize that two natures were mixed in each other, and they didn't obey to ecumenical council of Chalcedon (who recognizes that Christ has two natures, not combined in each other, but they are non-mixed in one Hypostasis, in Christ) and entered the schism.

that's difference.

[kiriakos19941994]

@TheArabChristian well actually that is not quite possible. The other eastern christian chrurches such as the patriarch of konstantinopole consider your people to be heretics and blasphemers.

[february17able]

Respond to this video... Then the MONOPHYSITES need to give up their heresy. And receive the fourth ecumenical Council in Chalcidon. And recomfirm their faith of the Holy Father of the Seven O'Ecumenical Councils. I would love to see that very much.

[politicaltourist]

@february17able What a fiery remark, and am i to presume that you have read the thousands of documents of the 4 later councils that you should boast with such confidence? My guess is you haven't and it is better to stick by the rule: "silence is golden"

[february17able]

@politicaltourist There is only seven councils that are O'Ecumenical. The other councils are not Christian Orthodox. There are many councils that are not Apostolic in Nature. I read alot of them. Maybe you should stick by the rule: "silence is golden"

[malankaraothodox94]

if this is syrian orthodox church, why does not the priest where the caps like the malnkara syrain ortho, whith us only bishops where that bandana like thing on thier heads

[lavakava]

this is the REAL church. i don't understand why many people think that christianity is a western religion...it is not. protestant/catholicism are western religions.
