Worthless is the charity of the man who bestows it unwillingly, because material charity is not his, but God’s gift, whilst only the disposition of the heart belongs to him. This is why many charities prove almost worthless, for they were bestowed grudgingly. St John of Kronstadt

How Christmas was spent by ancient Christians in ancient Christian lands. Muhammadan Jihadist intimidation.
🇸🇾 🇸🇾 - In the middle of a news report showing the "normalcy" of "Christmas celebrations" in Bab Toma/Gate of Thomas (the neighborhood the Apostles resided in), men from the crowd (clearly foreign to the neighborhood) scream "Our master Muhammad, our leader forever!"
These people claim to believe in Jesus Christ and that He will descend to the Umayyad mosque (formerly St. John the Baptist church) at the second coming. Yet they proclaim the supremacy of another man on the day of Christ's Nativity. Do they really believe in Jesus?

How Christmas was spent by ancient Christians in ancient Christian lands
🇸🇾 ✝️ ☦️ - Demonstrations continue in Qasa & Elsewhere
1st Video (Top Left)
"بالروح بالدم نفديك يالمسيح"
"By soul, by blood, we'll sacrifice ourselves for you Christ!"
2nd Video (Top Right)
...We are all one Christian body...
3rd Video (Bottom right)
...Raise your cross raise it...
4th Video (bottom centre)
From the ancient city of Damascus, along the Straight Street where Saint Paul once walked, Syrian protesters continue to stand against the foreign fighters affiliated with HTS. They are demanding their expulsion from Christian towns. Chanting:
‘We are your men, Jesus Christ. We are your men, Jesus Christ. With my blood and soul, I sacrifice for my cross."
5th Video (Bottom right)
Syrians, despite the deadly threat posed by the armed militants who have seized the country, are taking to the streets of Damascus, demonstrating to defend their faith chanting "raise the Cross higher."
“We remain beside our people because this is our pastoral mission. We must support them in every kind of need, especially spiritual. We will continue even our prayers and services in our churches as much as we can, of course, to leave our trials in God’s hands. We will continue the path to the Cross like Christ until the Resurrection.”...
+ His Eminence Metropolitan Ephraim of Aleppo of the Antiochian Orthodox Church

Syria declares Christmas holidays amid protests over oppression of Christians
Authorities in Syria have declared December 25 and 26 official holidays for state employees to coincide with Catholic Christmas celebrations. But essential government services will continue.
The decision follows peaceful protests in Damascus and nearby Christian neighborhoods over the oppression of Christians in Syria. The protests were sparked by the burning of a Christmas tree in Suqaylabiyah, a Christian-majority town in Hama, by foreign mercenaries.
Local authorities have arrested the perpetrators and promised to punish them.

Certain important deviations, good to know
Monarchianism is an early Christian heresy that emerged in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD and sought to uphold the oneness of God (the “monarchy” of the Father) at the expense of the distinct persons of the Trinity.
Pelagianism. The essence of the Pelagian heresy lies in its denial of original sin and the belief that humans are born with a neutral nature, capable of achieving salvation through their own efforts without the need for divine grace. According to Pelagius, human beings have the ability to live morally and achieve righteousness on their own, without relying on God's grace for salvation.

The Three Types of Christians
Father Josiah Trenham
Are you a Christian out of fear, love, or reward? Fr. Josiah Trenham breaks down the 3 types of Christians and challenges us to examine our faith. Do you only follow God because you're afraid of hell? Or is there something deeper?…

🇬🇷 - Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch John X confronts Jolani on numerous points regarding the recent "military campaign" in the Coast:
> the campaign is bloody; the whole incident is a tragedy
> majority of deaths are not regime remnants, but civilians, including women and children
> they are both Alawite and Christian - targeted not in crossfire but for sectarian reasons
> militants are destroying icons of the Virgin Mary despite Muslims claiming to respect her
> calls on Jolani to end all the massacres occurring in the coast
The crowd applauds his statement.
Yet we were told the targetting of Christians is a hoax and that Christians support the regime's genocide of Alawites.

Ex Muslim, Islam debunking Atheist, turns to Christ and becomes an Orthodox Christian.
He still lacks a lot of education on the topic and may even be a zionist... May this trip set him on the correct way
