  • India is a federal constitutional republic with a parliamentary democracy consisting of 28 states and seven union territories. It is one of the five BRICS nations. India is a pluralistic, multilingual, and multiethnic society. It is also home to a diversity of wildlife in a variety of protected habitats.

  • A nuclear weapons state and a regional power, it has the third-largest standing army in the world, and ranks tenth in military expenditure among nations.

  • The Indian economy is the world's tenth largest economy by nominal GDP and fourth largest economy by purchasing power parity. Following market-based economic reforms in 1991, India has become one of the fastest growing major economies, and is considered a newly industrialized country; however, it continues to face the challenges of poverty, illiteracy, corruption and inadequate public health.

  • Gradually annexed by the British East India Company from the early 18th century and colonised by the United Kingdom from the mid-19th century, India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle for independence which was marked by non-violent resistance and led by Mahatma Gandhi.

  • Home to the ancient Indus Valley Civilization and a region of historic trade routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was identified with its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history. Four of the world's major religions - Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism - originated here, while Zoroastrianism, Christianity and Islam arrived in the first millennium CE and shaped the region's diverse culture.

  • Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the southwest, and the Bay of Bengal on the southeast, it shares land borders with Pakistan to the west; Bhutan, the People's Republic of China and Nepal to the northeast; and Bangladesh and Burma to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and the Maldives; in addition, India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia.

  • India, or the Republic of India, is a state located in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world.

  • some of thoe icons are coptic

  • @MrCopticforever

    cld be yeah..we dont use icons much..

  • marlenebraun208 is right, if someone in communion with the pope or with protestant cults, they are not christian.

    A real christian church is the one that respects the Holy Ecumenic Sinods, and has absolutelly no relations with heretics like neo-calendarist patriarchy of Constantinopole, or armenians or vaticanists.

  • @binojpeter1.. this is a new knowledge that the syriac orthodox vestments are came from Jerusalem..But bro. it looks more or less like the turk style...am I misleading..please clarify dear researchers..Lol

  • @binojpeter1 As you plead if a patriarchate was to be formed, it should be through right methods, ie. getting approval from undivided church synod and anointed by legitimate authority. and not through an expelled H.H who is living life after retirement. if the retired Didimose I, is anointing a person as catholicose of malankara when Poulose II is the rightful to your people , will it be acceptetd?!!!

  • @binojpeter1 This is not a right judgement.H.H's intentions were good. He regained otherwise lost church properties and instated 6 dioceses for convenience of ruling. If that was not a right decision, why the malankara church is getting divided into more dioceses even today. And more over the title of malankara metrapolitan was retained and not abolished..so your arguments do not stand valid.

  • This is Syrian Nestorian Church look at their clothes.

    Syrian Nestorian Chruch - is not Greek Orthodox. >.<

  • @1Veers

    did some one say we are greek orthodox? Syriac Orthodoxy!

  • god bless the knanaya

  • You are the mentaly retarded. I am Orthodox, Antiochian I go to the Patriarchate in Damascus when I go to Syria. In our church, the priest doesn't give comunion to these people because they are not Orthodox. The name Christian was taken in Antioch.

    Eat shit.

  • @marlenebraun208 Nice come back, I don't talk to immature people. Maybe where you're from they might not be Orthodox, but to the rest of the world they are Orthodox. Who do you think is right? Do you even have a clue how Syrian Orthodoxy got to Kerala, India? There were many migrations of people including priests from Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Jordan and they came to Kerala after the first century. They have been sending priests from the Middle East until the Portuguese came.

  • @marlenebraun208 St. Thomas the Apostle came to Kerala, India in A.D. 52 and he converted the Jews and some locals into Christians. Kerala is an ancient trade port, so there were many migrations of people coming there. So who are you to say they are not Orthodox?

  • @BanditTony23 yes i am knanaya and we are syrians that converted some people

  • These are not Orthodox, only the rite, they are under the Pope!!!!!

  • @marlenebraun208 Are you blind or mentally challenged? Because it clearly says Orthodox, this is Syrian Orthodox. We are not under no Pope and will never be. The language in this video is in Syriac(Aramaic) not Latin. Syrian Orthodox Christians were the first Christians in the world, hence the word Orthodox. Please do some research before you comment on any videos for future reference.

  • @BanditTony23 I guess you are not getting the point of marlenbraun208, he is telling that those who rejected the council of chalcedon are not orthodox which means the entire oriental orthodoxy do not fall under orthodox umbrella...this is really good..now the indian bros, ie the Jacobites (syriac "orthodox") and Indian Orthodox need to unite at least to counter this...

  • @marlenebraun208

    idiot

  • send to the indian church all respect & love from her sister the coptic (egypt) church

  • @binojpeter1

    The 12 apostles/disciples are considered by the church as having received priesthood from Jesus, reference after the resurrection, Christ visited His 12 and breathed and blessed them. Later After Pentecost, all followers of Christ, including this 70-72 disciples were baptized into the mission of Christ. The twelve, headed by St. Peter conducted the baptisms.

  • @uniden1970

    Acts of Apostles 13:1-3 clearly stated  who and how St.Paul and Barnabas were ordained in their mission>Christ's priesthood in church of this earth is not converged through any single apostles or Jesus Christ did not appoint somebody as head of apostles!refer luke 22:24-30 or supreme authority over other apostles!The Church administration is clearly mentioned through varius epistlles of St.Paul( Clergy: Oversear(leader)(,Presbyter(el­der)and Deacon etc!

  • the churches are not orthodox....!!!!

    they are catholic...!!!!!

  • Glory to God, Amen

  • Can someone provide subtitles for this song, please?

  • The state that I come from Kerala,India had one of the first Orthodox movements,before an European nations. St. Thomas one of the 12 apostles of Christ came to India, and was given permission from Hindu kings to build churches. He was even welcomed by Jewish people in India, who sailed to India because of the Babylons.

  • По моему это всего лишь монофизиты, а не православные.

  • @TungakV1hody Они не могут быть монофизитами и называть себя православными, в Православии есть догматы если ты живешь по этим догматам и по греческой трактовки Священного Писания, то можешь смело называть себя православным.

  • @orthodox100 Вы весьма ошибаетесь несториане и монофизиты и вообще все нехалкидоняне, не гнушаються называть себя православными. Я вижу что это Сирийская Несторианская Церковь в Индии.

  • Поздрав мојој браћи Православној !

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks a lot! The Malankara Christians ought to be together as they areSt.Thomas disciples. Now what is Happening is that There are Methran and Bava factions.Jesus Christ sent his Apostles as witness of Christ to preach his Kingdom and not to have title like Partriarch/Pope residing in In Palaces and creating disunity in His Church.Jesus did not appoint a single disciple as Superior among themselves.When Saul(paul) became christian he was not either baptisized or ordained as priest by Peter.

  • @2002rinsam

    My wonder, the amazing rinsam..is there any internet media you don't publish your garbage ideas....well about St. Peter not baptizing St. Paul, this is true but St. Paul received his priesthood and baptism from Ananias, whom was baptized and ordained by the apostles, headed by St. Peter. See apostolic succession did not occur in the 21st century, it was practiced since Pentecost. Thus, St. Paul did receive his priesthood from Christ, through St. peter to ananias. Acts 9:17

  • @uniden1970 Whatever truth is garbage for you as you totally misguided person!if st. Peter was supreme authority or Head of apostles ,how come St.Paul rebuked St.Peter publically(face by face) Galatians 2:11-16.againGalatians 2:9 the three apostles,Peter,James and john were considered as pillars of early church!Apostolic succession did not originate in Antioch ! The Priesthood of Jesus Christ is not converged in the present day Church through single apostle/person

  • Many Thanks !

  • Comment removed

  • @binojpeter1, Your comments are good for Churches fighting each other for power/positions, but not on this vedeo!Always try to look where you are supposed to make comments. Who created instituitions when where? these are unwanted and unnecessarycomments.Christ send all his apostles with same Holy Spirit and Power all aposltes have equal power position in the Kingdom of Christ!That is what christ promised to his disciples!

  • go go ortodox.greeting from serbia

  • i wish only one main thing if it go into 2 fraction it should remain under the syriac orthdox church

  • preach this idea inside your peoples one day majority of your people will agree it. in person it is said for me and for his holiness when the church divided in 2 fractions in all my prayers i say to abt ur church to our lord. if it our fraction go as a seperate one without in commuion with syriac orthdox and with jacobite fraction and named it as indian orthdox the work done by my forefather become a waste that makes me more said i do not belonge to the jacobite brother

  • but you people should correct your religious leaders every time his beatitude catholicos thomas 1 say that to give the churches for the majority in that church and the minor should get compansition and the cemetary should be shared with both groups but your leader keep silent to his statement i think it is better opion for both churches. this church will not unit together because the the jacobite fraction suffered a lot in when this church united and they lot many of there churchs

  • when there was a meeting of the all the keral orthdox people i got the viedo and i saw it then i heard how much ur priests talk about the his holiness so i comment like it ok first u should teach ur priests about the principles of jesus if the priest cannot make practice principles the how can he teach it to the common man

  • this church will not exist more

  • it my opion because one man or no organisation can fool everyone at every time ok that i mean i read the bible fully more than 7 times ok

  • if ur church is a seperate one why u should satisfy the patriarch his holiness do not want ur satify methods his holiness already told that the indian ortdox fraction want to be continue under the universal syriac orthdox church the can his holiness is ready to accept them also but the jacobite church will also remain under syriac orthdox church as seperate church there was no response from ur bishops

  • Comment removed

  • no brother there is no division clause. why ur misleading the truth the is not mentioning that church is under the primate of catholicos

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • then why ur constitition state that ur church is under the authority of syric patriarch of antioch. and according to the judgement of indian supreme court it states that ur church is under the universal syrian church not a autocephalous one. what about that?

  • Comment removed

  • i know for what ur forefathers included those it is not for accodomate the other faction to the church if u close ur eyes for a while do not say that it is darkness allaround. first think abt this no one can make fool everone all the time ok

  • I wish I could say the same about the Metran faction, but the attitude of your church, closing many of our Jacobite churches and not allowing us to continue our faith is the reason why we have animosity. Our Fathers want to live in peace as two separate Churches each following his own teachings and authority. but your leadership wont let us live in peace.

  • We do refer to ourselves as Malankara Archdiocese of Syrian Church, we are proud of our history and relation to the Syrian Church. You on the other hand need to officially call your church Indian Orthodox, why not remove syrian and change the vestments too?

  • Do you understand what the church was before it was organized into patriarchates? Hersey ran rampant across the world. The idea of universal is a sign of Orthodox Church, national is later formed india. let me ask you a questionif kerala was divided into north and south and became two countries would you allow the two to become independent? churches?

  • The relation between coptic and syrian are different than that of malankara and Syrian Church. The Malankara Church is part of the Universal Syrian Church as upheld by your 1934 constitution. The Coptic and Syrian are in communion with each other. That is a huge difference

  • mr binoi do u think that ur church is autocephalous one

  • brother that is not the inscident that we r working according to the oders of coptic pope as a sister church sometimes we gave respect to the words of coptic pope

  • You mean your metran faction churches and metran faction priests. That is a really unbiased report. You the same people that claimed to find the body of buried Nestrorian Bishop, under some church. Hope you remember that story too. Turned out he was a Malankara Syrian Priest.

  • This was beautiful! As a catechumen to the Orthodox faith in a ROCOR church I find this touching because it makes me realize what a big & diverse family I am joining. As I looked at the pictures they were not distant, foreign faces, instead they were people who are soon to be my brothers & sisters - how exciting!

  • If it is still bothersome, change your liturgy to some Persian or Indian version, and include changing the vestments of your clergy. But the ulterior motives of your church is what prevents all this.

  • uniden ur correct the indian orthdox church do not understands the facts i have some indian orthdox friends they says that religion came into existence due to ego clash of some indian orthdox bishops and our holy father

  • mr uniden1970, church originated in middle east, but so if are to receive any traditions, we can receive it only from churches in the middle eastern regions. But that doesn't mean that church should rule the new church. Once a church is formed, that church becomes independent. If your theory is to be applied, all the apostolic churches in the world should be under the Patriarchate of Jerusalem.

  • do u know. who created patriarchate of jerusalem?

  • This comment makes no sense, why would the Syrian Church come under the Coptic Pope. They are two ancient sees, the Church in India was under the Patriarch. The cases are totally different. I see you want your catholicos to get respect, so then why don't you become a national church in all ways. No more catholicos, but Patriarch of India, no Orthodox Syrian Church, but Indian Orthodox Church, dont remember our Holy Father in your prayers, remove His Holy name from Metran Faction Constitution

  • uniden1970, I know that they are ancient sees, but as per the decisions of Council of Nicaea, Patriarch of Rome is first among equals, Alexandria second among equals and Antioch third among equals. So first understand that Patriarch of Antioch is only third among equals behind Rome and Alexandria.

  • all among equals mean what my brother it is equal. ur sayinfg that rome is first among equal how it is possible . rome is mentioned first because only the city rome have political importance but understand there is nothing greater for rome in terms of religious faith

  • Pope is not seen as first among equals because the churches are no longer in communion with the oriental or eastern orthodox church, so those titles are not valid. As far as Orientals are concerned, the Coptic Pope is first followed by Our Holy Patriarch. Now the Church in India is not a distinct church, it is part of the Universal Syriac Orthodox Church. Your 1934 constitution also states this. So what is your point about being equal. We are not talking about different churches,

  • The Church in India is a wing of the Syriac Church. This is why what the Metran Faction did was totally unorthodox, claiming independence when our Church was part of a church. We, Jacobites stand by that ancient relationship of being part and parcel of the Syriac Church

  • Next understand that after Council of Chalcedon, when Pope Dioscorus of Alexandria got excommunicated and his miaphysite doctrine shunned as heresy, a major portion of church in Egypt followed him and a minor faction of church in Antioch under Jacob Baradeus followed the decisions of church in Egypt. I was telling about that small faction which was formed in support of Coptic church.

  • in that period not minor fraction dear but later it become minor fraction do to the hardships recived from the kin to the people

  • And if you carefully study the history, there were instances when Jacobite Patriarch of Antioch was removed when Coptic Pope expressed displeasure about him.

  • can u mention at what period the syriac orthdox patriarch was removed due to the order of coptic pope

  • mr uniden1970, Patriarchates were formed under the directions of Roman Emperor Constantine, who for administrative convenience, divided his empire into three regions under the sees of Bishops of three major cities in his empire. Before that there were only bishops for each regions. So in 301 AD, when king of Armenia accepted Christianity and made Gregory its first Bishop the title Catholicos as Armenia was not part of Roman Empire.

  • Later when Church in Persia declared independence in 380 AD, they too adopted the title Catholicos as they too were outside Roman Empire. The statements show your lack of knowledge about church history.

  • Persian Church was accepted only because we though they were the true church, which was under the Patriarch of Antioch. They became a independent Church only after Nestorian heresy. Also their was theological studies in Malankara, as confirmed by Panteus, who came to teach in Malankara.

  • Even though the Patriarch of Antioch started a Maphrianate in Persia when Persian Church declared independence, none of those priests took an effort to come to Malankara to teach us about Nestorian heresy. It took the Catholic Portuguese missionaries to tell us that we were following Nestorius's heretical teachings.

  • Wonderful Song. Greetings from Ethiopian Brothers

  • Lastly, the Indian Orthodox always claims this Persian history...well why doesn't your church try to reconnect with that Persian Church which still exists, Us, Jacobites will gladly continue our forefathers traditions of pure Orthodox as part of the Universal Syriac Orthodox Church....why remain under the traditions and customs of a "alien and foreign" Church, as you all claim?

  • Receiving the traditions and rule by a foreign patriarch is two issue. As I said before, just because church originated in Jerusalem, no other patriarchates come under Patriarchate of Jerusalem. Once a church community is formed, it is ruled by the indigenous bishop and that church community look after their own affairs. Parent church does not interfere into their day to day affairs. That is the tradition of early church. Universal authority was introduced by Pope of Rome.

  • First, you admit the Syriac Church is the Mother Church of Malankara and secondly there is absolutely no conclusive evidence to prove we followed Persian traditions, you need to understand when the Mor Gregorios came Malankara had been influenced by various churches, diluting the one true Syriac Traditions.

  • uniden1970, first you read the books of Indian church history written by independent sources and make sure that Malankara Church before the arrival of Portuguese missionaries followed Persian traditions. If you want to close eyes to the truth, I don't care. I am not here to change your views. But truth always remains the same. First time, malankara priests saw the Antiochene liturgy was in the hands of Mar Dionysius in 1688 who accompanied Eldho Mar Baselios.

  • no mr binoy ur wrong brother because before 16th cenutry can u say which books used by ur church and who was the head of ur church

  • By no means am I trying to change your mind. I only ask your church to reflect on your accepted history and make the changes to Church. Let us become two churches. The Jacobite Syrians and the Indian Persian Church. Your throw facts around saying there are books and all but I have never seen your church makes any announcements.

  • with the Persian Church...do you realize they are heretics..My forefathers were not heretics...they defended the true Orthodox faith......That is a story created by the Catholics to take control over the Church in Malankara....if we were soo close to the Persian Church, why call the Syrian Patriarch for help simply wait for the mother Persian Church, btw the persian influence that you see in Malankara is due to Syrian Orthodox who came from Persia.

  • Actually that is wrong, it has nothing to do with the fact Pope Shenouda is Oriental Patriach, the relationship between churches is strong and ancient and Coptic Church gave a lot of help to the See of Antioch...but your church claims no relationship and looks upon H.H. Patriarch as a "foreigner" Bottom line your church has no ethics it will say anything and everything to maintain power..history has proven that...same loose defense that you called our Malankara Church was in communion ...

  • Comment removed

  • actually the throne one st thomas is a new thing in ancient days there is no phase like it it only amerged after the legal battle

  • Even the throne of St. Peter came into existence around 800 AD when Pope of Rome started to claim it to have superiority over other churches. Then Patriarch of Antioch too tried to claim it.

  • if u do not gave the patriarch of antioch any position in ur church before the media but ur consction of the malankara church says that the antiochian patriarch is the primate of this church u should study about it and ask about your bishops the antiochian patriarch is ready to approve the fraction now against the universal syrian orthdox

  • What we demand is that Syriac Patriarch should give our Catholicos the same respect that he gives other Patriarchs (coptic, armenian) in the oriental communion and not treat him inferior to him.

  • mr binoj i would like to say that the most of ineternet resource says that they are more than other one i do not say that syriac orthdox church is the biggest in the middle east church being the biggest one is not a big pride but u should know one thing the greek orthdox church arise after the council of chalcedon

  • you are right, but when a small faction split from a bigger faction, we don't say that the bigger faction split away from a smaller faction right? The smaller jacobite faction split from the main greek orthodox faction, if majority believed in syriac orthodox faction, they wouldn't have become minority compared to the other

  • ur again wrong brother because the greek orthox split from the jacobite and accept the byzantine rite like the orthdox church in turkey jacabite became minority because greek orthdox have the support of byzantine kings so they grow more simply reason why u mislead truth brother

  • syrian orthdox church is not mention the pope shenouda in there holy mass dear u have to once more to study about it

  • in ur holy mass u indian orthdox people mentioning the patriarch.i would like to ask u that which patriarch u people ARE MENTIONING IF U HAVE NO RELATION WITH HIM

  • binjopeter u says that syrian orthdox church is a miniority in syria but it is the largest church in turkey the religion which suffers more do not have many members but it will last till the jesus arrival the fraction which left the syriac orthdox church is greek orthdox

  • If you want to see true foreign rule and racism, look no further than the Catholic Church in India. They did not even get a Indian Bishop until much later. There was no association, no power to the people. Fully under the crutch of the Pope. Only recently did the Catholics gain power in India. Much different story for Syrian Indians.

  • Athhanasius went to Mardin and lied to the Patriarch that he was chosen by the people with the consent of the Malankara Metropolitan. During that time communications took a long time, lack of phone. Thus as soon as the Holy Father realized the truth he sent papers excommunicating Athhanasius. When the problem got worse he sent Mor Coorilose as delgate to defend the Syrian Church in India. This is why the Patriach came and had to reorganize the Church, so such things would not happen again.

  • The Church was under attack from protestants, that took everything to the courts. Thus it became intrgral to document all organizaion and power structure in Malankara in order to protect the Church. the people obsviously saw the same becuase they gave their Holy Father all such documents. That is why it was such a surprise when Vattersail went against all this.

  • Of course the Malankara Church helped financially...I don't know the records behind it, but you insistence that the Patriarch committed some grave sin when he asked for administrative authority is rather weak. The Patriarch did not ask he was given the authority by God, being head of the Church and defender of the faith. The Patriarch only insisted that all be written in case the courts get involved because in court matter we can simple say it was given by God.

  • you mention this "foreign ruler" in your 1934 constitution too...soo this really negates your point.

  • binojpeter1: I love how all Indian Orthodox ppl claim to knw exactly what was said at the Coonnen Cross oat, but lets assume they said foreign rule, I can guarantee that the Holy Patriarch and the Syriac Church was not seen as foreign. That is an invention of your metran faction. Latin bishops were seen as foreign with their latinizaion of the Malankara Church. We were called Syrian Christians for many centuries, again Patriarch was not seen as a foreign ruler. I am pretty sure you mention..

  • binojpeter1: that makes sense because H.H. was the head of the Church and thus appointed the Malankara Metropolitan to be president of the Association. If power was the purpose why form a association at all, just ordain bishops and put them directly under the Patriarch. Main thing was to stop protestant reform, which means the church had to be organized and Faith is final, Under the protection of H.H. In Malankara the Church had no organization.

  • has any of you heard of the famous Saint Padraigh? (st. patrick). perhaps his methods may help you smooth out relations with various Hindu followings. an example: Jesus was born on Dec 25th. so find a Hindu festival that matches this time. it must be a festival like seasonal solstice festival. and you add Jesus to it! this is what was done in north western europe.

  • universal syriac church is a truth not a myth dear it have the presence in syria ,jersulam,swedan,germany,leban­on,in trukey it is one of the major churchit also have presence in modern iraq, argentina etc. you indian orthdox church people should understand one thing now syria is only a devloping nation and it do not have the finincial status like india but in ancient times the syria orthdox church had more than 400 monastries and it had presence beyond the china

  • The Patriarch formed the Malankara Association and formed a democratic form of authority. This all sounds very much like power hungry, correct? Read history with an unbiased eye before you make opinions.

  • binojpeter1,

    How do come up with that Patriarch Peter was only interested in money. Then why did HH Patriarch travel all the way to England and talk to queen in order to protect the Church in India, to keep his Church in true faith. But you are absolutely true that power hunger did cause factions in India but it was not the Holy Patriarch, but rather the "Great illuminator" himself Vattasseril. The Patriarch

  • Could somebody, please provide me with the English Translation and transcription of the original words of this hymn - I don't know how to read the original language.

    I have heard and sung lots of orthodox hymns - but this one snatched my hearth to tears

  • @Vonmem This is a welcome song sung by the laity when catholicos/bishop visits the parish. Roughly translated as: "Welcome, graceful O Father Baselios, good shepherd and loved by his flock. O representative of Jesus Christ, we praise you for your glimpse and blessings; we delight by your holy name; we cry out loud, “long live, Father Baselios. Let us receive your blessings."

  • This is Bible Prophecy for you:

    Page 50's Prophecy ..gets fullfilled in Page 51!..Page 75's Prophecy gets fullfilled in Page 100! yeah!..Bible is True..

    Prophecies came true!..

    Thats Idiotic.. Does your bible talk about , Invention of Electricity, Light Bulb, Invention of Automobile, Invention of Internet, Viagra..? or does that mention Bypass surgeries.. or any other complex inventions that Mankind has seen in the last 2000 yrs? its all Philistine(Foolish) Prophecies!

  • No - I have noticed that u have no clue about the Bible. U think it is stupid book - that's it. No proof, no argument, no logic - only a silly opinion...

    Why should Bible talk about Invention of Electricity, Light Bulb ...sorry but that is "Idiotic" - the bible is a theological book not a book of "elecrticity".

    The prophecies of the Bible are the promises of God which came true. Christ was born in Bethlehm, he die on the cross, he was resurrected on the 3rd day.... ALL CAME TRUE

  • anyways you seem to belabor this point about Prophecies in the bible.Like I said.the prophecies that you claim to have come true.works like I said earlier.most prophecies are mentioned in one part of the bible as they will occur..and in the other part they show that it happened.You consider that there was a Chronology in it..now consider this what if some of the prophecies aresimply created up onthe go while writingthose chapters and they write additional pieces to show that they got fullfilled.

  • The prohecies came ture - everyone- even today.

    Do u not think that it is wondrous thing that a little jewish sect became the biggest religion of the world - can u not see that it is the will of God?

    The Bible is great, nothing was added - did u not know about the scriptures which were found in the 70's in I srael and that they show that nothing changed in the texts?

    Science can proof that scriptures of the Bible are very old. It is not a thing of believe.

  • U know you u believe in Bible or Consider Bearded Dead Body hanging on the wall to be your God? Because what will make a human with Avg IQ believe in Jesus as God?

    1. God cannot be born through a sexual relationship between a man and a woman.

    2. God's Arrival has to be Predicted(prophecy)

    3. So called should have some supernatural powers..command the sea to divide.. do some magical works

    4. Will not have human desires like Sex/Hunger..etc

    5. Perform Miracles(again like Magic) healing

  • 6. God as a human should have a huge following of devotees who claim that he is special and Godly(looks,touch,behavior)

    7. Should not Die like a Human.. but simply ascend to Heaven.. because he is God.

    8. Be able to Predict many major events that are to come up or to happen in short term and long term..

    9. Show love and compassion towars his believers and show forgiveness and be magnanimous to answer to the prayers of devotees

    10. Should leave a set of Rules of Conduct as way to Salvation.

  • All this were essential beliefs or accepted definition of God for humansAll these qualifications for God were not created by Christianity or the Eraits been there for ages. The People who wrote Bible borrowed all these ideas and thought that they could make an Idiot of Nowhere into a Cult true and promise things to them not in this life(because that cannot happen) but promise them with Abundance of everything in after life(Very Clever Deception) and then warn of consequences if not followed

  • 6.) Christ had and has his followers even today for 2000 years. Even jewish historians, roman ....

    7.) He came on earth to save the human race by his death on the cross - after the death He ascended to heaven with the transfigured body !

    8.)He predicted many things ..

    Who has shown more love than Christ - who has shown more compassion ? All things u want to see from an incarnated God Christ has done.

    What happend that u are against Christ?

    U would be a perfect christian and Christ ur God

  • U: Who has shown more love than Christ? Can you please list out a huge list of the acts of Kindness he displayed?

    "Jesus displayed a remarkable act of Kindness with a lamb that was lost...." Xtians keep talking about this Lamb/Jesus/ kindness a lot... yet Jesus as God supposedly multiplied the loaves and fishes, not to mention that Passover lamb that ate and served his disciples for eating. He was eating animals that he supposedly created..Blood Sucker!

  • Do u not think that your behaviour is foolish? How old are u ? 12?

    When u want to discuss - ok but in a proper way or are u not able in your "logic" to discuss like an adult?

    U know it is well know that he was very kind: I talked once with a Buddhist and he said: Christ is an example for us all - he was one of the greatest Masters ever here on earth.

    I am a vegetatrian and we know that God does not want to eat animals: St. Paul says it is good not to eat meat.

  • U: "U know it is well know that he was very kind: I talked once with a Buddhist and he said: Christ is an example for us all - he was one of the greatest Masters ever here on earth" Even Prophet Muhammad said the same about Christ..

    Even Hitler said the same thing about Christ.. Do these guys even qualify to certify? so this Budhist Monk's qualifying Jesus as greatest Master is surely ridiculous..it shows his lack of reading..but his belief in heresay

  • I only wanted to show that it is well known that Christ was full of love and mercy!

    Even Buddhists say this - and they do not follow him!

  • Go Read how compassionate your Bearded Sick Fellow was from this phase:

    Exodus 31:15: " ...whosoever works on the Sabath day(7th day of the week) must be put to death." Deuteronomy 17:2-7 " ..we must stone everyone who does not believe in God(God of the Bible) to death"..Leviticus : "Adulterers..man lying with another man's wife..both must be put to Death".Again King David did the same thing with Bathsheba.. but got away with it. People proudly Jeus as David's decendant.Absolut Hypocritical!

  • When u read the text of the Bible u have to be carefull not to read something into the text. Some parts sound harsh - but when u look at the Bible as Unity it is well balanced.

    U should not pick out such passages and forget the others. When u read the Bible read it all.

  • Comment removed

  • According to you one should basically ignore those harsh passages.and consider only those good ones..that they beat about left and right and make a mountain out of a mole in Sunday church by your pastors...right? You saying that you are a vegetarian and St.Paul says so.. and God also says so.. why did Jesus multiply fish and eat.. why did he feasted during Passover each time? Bible is full of oxymorons..no wonder the guys who follow it are only MORONS!

  • I posted what u wrote above I will answer:

    I think u do not know ORTHODOX pastors! Did u ever been in an orthodox monastery - have u seen their life full of fasting, prayer for all people - for the nature for animals....and they do not eat meat it is forbidden in monasteries and also many orthodox christians do not eat meat.

    U should not ignore them but see them with all others. There are harsh one but ones full of mercy and love too. We should be balanced !

  • meat is not prohibited in Orthodox Church, and has never been... and not forbidden in monasteries...

  • Did u ever have been to an orthodox monastery ? The monks and nuns - DO NOT EAT MEAT - only fish at some times.

    All true orthodox christians should stay away from eating meat. The holy fathers explain to us why: God created the animals not to be eaten by us, eating meat heats the passions.....and other reasons ( Please read St. Ambrose of Milan,...and others)

  • i said meat is not forbidden or prohibited, read carefuly...

  • What u post here is foolish - sorry. U know nothing about christianity.

    1.) God can - he is allmighty. Christ is God incarnated. True God and true Man. both Natures in ONE Person (hypostase).

    2.) Christ was not born through sexual relation - he was borne through the Virgin

    2.) God's arrival was predicted - thousends of times - but deny this prophecies!

    3) Christ had such powers - did u not read that He was walking on the waters, that he healed the sick, the wind was quiet ..

  • Jesus with you always brothers.

  • UBTUNE.. stop bluffing.. The goodness and badness makeup everything.. including you.. Grow up...enough of bluffing 2000 years

  • in utub /watch?v=1HjeyxnvvuQ

  • UBTune.. are you an Idiot? have you been to Benny hinn's or similar gathering...or have you not noticed in other villages where some fake babajis used to the same thing...

    Its all BullSHIT.

    You follow a dead idiot long gone.. I can understand..where your thoughts and interests come from....go do some watching of xst exposing or declassified videos you will understand..

  • OH nice behaviour !

  • Comment removed

  • Interesting I never heard Inian Orthodox chant before - beautiful.

    May God bless all Indian orthodox Christians by the prayers of the Most Holy Theotokos and Evervirgin Mary.

  • I am a former Roman Catholic by birth who's going through classes to become Antiochian Orthodox. Both the song and the imagery is beautiful, and I pray that one day the Oriental and Eastern Orthodox will unite. It's incredible to think you can trace your lineage back to Saint Thomas, just like the Coptic Church can trace their heritage back to Saint Mark. May God Bless.

  • Greatings from Greece,orthodox brothers and sisters.

  • You live far away from us,

    but you are close to us, because you are in Christ.

    I love your prayers, for your prayers are my prayers,

    our, your are.

    I hope that soon east Orthodox Church

    to receive communion with you.

    Love you kisses in euharistia memories!!!!!!!!!

  • proud of my heritage. we have a 2000 year history.

  • Amazing..love the orthodox feeling

  • i even on being HINDU would love to give my son to the ORTHODOX church of India.

    AFTER ALL GOD IS ONE.

    GOD BLESS THE COMMUNITY.

  • wonderful ! I like very much the song... thank you... love from a muslim girl... I am really amazed I din't know there is orthodoxe in India... god bless all spiriyual humans..

  • a few months back i was searching about Christianity in India on wikipedia where i came to know that it was the british protestant missinaries who used to send there ministers to the orhtodox churches in order to reform and bring them in to there annonated doctrine.how heretical are the protestant missionaries.BUNCH OF BASTARDS.

  • My friend,what do you think how much those temples you mentined cost? Compare it ti the financial ability of IOC and you will have your answer.Regarding you comment on what happened to the native American tribes, I have to remind you that it has nothing to do with the Orthodoxy. As you probably know, entire Indian culture is based on a religious foundation. God willing, IOC will contribute to it in its own and unique way by spreading the joy of resurrected Christ.Please read this and think again

  • Where is the aesthetics, workmanship in these buildings.. where is the art and beauty in these churches or these Indians who were colorful once..now stripped of their color and nativity?

    Look at the ancient Indian temples look at the magnificence, the architecture..look at the ancient Indian science, astrology, astronomy, medicine, etc...Where does the church match up? Looks at hispanic countries today(their native cultures destroyed including their language/religion) Think about it..

  • I think u do not know Holy Orthodoxy - Holy Orthodoxy never destroys the culture of a country, in the contrary Orthodoxy takes all "talents" of people and the country to praise God. So why not Idians built a beautiful Temple for the true God instead of Demons?
