Mount Athos - Monks are once-born preserving the Holy Books but lacking spirit or common sense -1

Mount Athos - Monks are once-born preserving the Holy Books but lacking spirit or common sense -1 A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this peninsula of 390 km² houses some 1,400 monks in 20 Eastern Orthodox monasteries. An autonomous state under Greek sovereignty, entry into the area is strictly controlled and only male monks are allowed to live there. The Agion Oros (Holy Mountain) is a self-governed part of the Greek state, politically subject to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and to the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople as regards its religious aspect. The mountain is dedicated to the Holy Mother of God, and by an imperial document (typicon) the avaton was established and no female may set foot on the peninsula. Most of its inhabitants are Orthodox monks living in monasteries, sketae (cloisters), cells and hermitages, and those who are not members of the clergy, such as employees, workers, but also the numerous visitors to the Agion Oros, who come for the purposes of meditation, prayer and study. Of the 20 monasteries, one is Russian, one is Bulgarian, one is Serbian and the rest are Greek. There is also a Romanian sketae. The foreign monasteries are supported by their respective countries. These monasteries posses holy relics, icons, frescoes and mosaics of great value. Liturgical vestments, historical texts, rare documents and manuscripts - all historical heirlooms - are kept in their libraries. Many, of course, have been lost and others were stolen during various raids. The first to settle here were iconodules, members of the clergy fleeing from the persecution of the iconoclasts. They came and lived as anchorites, unknown, and literally alone inside the caves. Later, monasteries were built and then they were organised in a monastic state. The Agion Oros became a refuge for those seeking to save their souls through fasting and praying. Even Byzantine emperors came and lived as monks here. The right of autonomy of the Agion Orhos was granted gradually, initially by the Byzantine emperors Nikiforos Fokas and Ioannis Tsimiskis. This persisted throughout the Turkish Occupation up to this day. During the years of enslavement it was a centre of the National Movement, and many who were wanted by the Turks took refuge there.
The common visitor can stay for free at each monastery for two days. Those who want to carry out studies can stay for as long as they want.An entire civilisation, different from modern civilisation, is preserved not only in the libraries, but throughout this special state and its people, in peace and quiet.

You are saying that they have the taland and they are not multiplying it.?They are sleeping 3 hours a day, praying for you and me and everyone for more than 10 hours a day, and their minds are constantly facing God and the heavens. And they are not multiplying their taland?

Believe me they are.They have no internet no tv no radio nothing. They are dead to this world.

Cause their world is God. So do not judge what you do not know.And do not judge at all.Me and you are not even 0.00001% of them

[nijjhar1]

@ZOLTRAN1 Christ Thomas stressed that Gospel would be known to one in a thousands and two in ten thousands. You are right. I am less than 0.0000001 per cent.

[ZOLTRAN1]

@nijjhar1 Jesus Christ said that His name shall be known to every nation across the world and everyone shall know of His name.What i mean by % is that we are not even capable of having 00001% of the grace and position of spiritual level of self denial and devotion to Christ as those monks have

[nijjhar1]

@ZOLTRAN1 @ZOLTRAN1 Hi Brother,

Christ is the Title that is never born and never died. Christ stands for the Royal High Priest of God and Jesus was his name, the body that was born and died. So, it is Christ Jesus and not Jesus Christ. Prayers do not bring you this simple knowledge. So, ask the Monks who was born and who died on the Cross? See if they know the answer please?

My dear sir, why are you simply reading a monologue from your computer screen?

Do you know there are many wonderful monasteries for women too?

Christ is REAL! Humble yourself and don't rely on your "common sense"

Leave your illusions behind, and find God who has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise.

[Cotsios90]

Having so much angryness inside yourself and blaming others that believe to God in a wrong way, then for sure, you dont believe to God in the right way. Orthodox monks never attacked you or your religion. However, they pray for you, pray to God everyday everynight, so people are ok. They pray for others more rather for their selves. On the other hand, people using meditation try to heal themselves be better and look better than others, this is a part of egoism, even if it is hard to believe.

[ZOLTRAN1]

@nijjhar1 yes he is but you are not

[nijjhar1]

@ZOLTRAN1 Brother,

I do not pray as my Father is Omniscient.

[ZOLTRAN1]

@nijjhar1 And as i know understand you are referring to the false doctrines of the Gnostics of the 2nd century AD.

I now understand that you have absolutely taken the wrong path brother and explains all your false views on the subject.

I have only this to say to you.Change and repent.Pray to Christ to enligten your soul and free you from the darkness you have fallen.You are not far away from the truth but you have been blinded by lies.Search for the truth and the truth shall be reveal

[ZOLTRAN1]

@nijjhar1 Thomas you are talking about i suppose you refer to ST.THOMAS - ΘΩΜΑΣ the disiple of Jesus CHrist right? Well he absolutely never said anything of the sort you are saying he said because simply he knew Jesus Christ,he lived with Him,ate with Him knew His teaching.I do not understand how you derive this quotes and say he said them.

[ZOLTRAN1]

@ZOLTRAN1 Man sins daily i mean and Christ forgives man daily.God because of His endless love towards men let everyone sin by letting them do what they want.Sin is Our choice not Gods.But Gods choice is to forgive us every time we take the wrong path and accept us even when we are mistaken which all of us are.

By the way the tilte is IHSOUS XRISTOS IOS THEOY - Jesus christ son of God.

CHRISTOS is named as the anointed One AFTER he came to human existance as both man and God.

[ZOLTRAN1]

@nijjhar1 ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ Which by the way is Greek word (Christ) Is the title given to logos (word of God). The eternal word of God did came to earth,was born AND died on the cross to save mankind and open the way to deliverance from sin with His sacrifice which was out of love for man.The fact that sin is cancelled by Christ,does not alter the fact that we sin daily and need to ask for forgiveness.

Man needs sins daily and Christ out of love forgives man daily.

[ZOLTRAN1]

@nijjhar1 give everything you have sell your computer give the money to the poor and then tell me you have 50% less sin then i have.

You and i are slaves to death because we sin and Christ has bought our sins with his blood.Yet the fact that we sin every day remains and everyday Christ forgive us.You are a million miles away from the truth. Humble yourself and pray to Christ to enlighten your mind.
