    St. John Chrysostom's Easter Sermon

    What? That a holy man's body releases myrrh-like smell? There you go: Ephessians 5:2 and Philippians 4:18. The word use for the pleasant myrrh like smell is fragrance.

    Yes. Why do you ask?

    St. John Chrysostom's Easter Sermon

    Saint John Chrysostom does not need me to defend him. God already revealed him as a holy man when, at his death, his body released a pleasant myrrh-like smell (instead of smelling like putrefaction, as it would be normal for a dead body). edit: the words I put in bold show that he was...

    Yes. My Lord, my God and my Savior.

    St. John Chrysostom's Easter Sermon

    I don't hate Jews. Yes. It doesn't contradict my belief: that the Christian Church is the New Israel and whoever want to be part of the family (be him Gentile or Jew) he may be part of it provided that he accepts Jesus Christ as his Savior.

    St. John Chrysostom's Easter Sermon

    Very well. Now do yourself a favor and ask Jews if they believe Jesus Christ is their Lord.

    St. John Chrysostom's Easter Sermon

    Stop telling lies about Judaism! Says the woman who claims the Jewish Festivals are about Jesus Christ. Did Jews tell you that? Why are you so hypocrite? Jews need to believe in Jesus Christ in order to enter in His kingdom. Ask them if they accept Him as their Lord and Savior. The...

    St. John Chrysostom's Easter Sermon

    Ok. Very well then. Me neither, I am not going to ignore your attempt to bash and throw mud on a HOLY (get that?) man! You check your heart and your theology! Because they are not Christ-centered!

    St. John Chrysostom's Easter Sermon

    What on earth are you saying??! Which planet do you come from? Jewish Festivals don't celebrate Jesus Christ (!!!) because they, the Jews, don't believe in Him, they don't accept Him as the Messiah. They say He is a liar and a deceiver. Accept what? That you have no idea what you are talking...

    St. John Chrysostom's Easter Sermon

    You don't say! It's irrelevant to participate in Jewish Festivals knowing that, not only they don't celebrate Jesus Christ, but consider Him a deceiver? Please!

    St. John Chrysostom's Easter Sermon

    I am a grown up and take responsibility for what I believe. You believe it's incorrect and I couldn't care less about your opinion. Dear kayla, let's leave it here, al right? I already understood your position and I don't even try to change it. In fact, YOU came here to "not derail my...

    St. John Chrysostom's Easter Sermon

    Than let me rephrase: I understand the Word differently than you. Like it or not. I believe we are now the New Israel and that whoever believes in Jesus Christ enters in the New Covenant. Jews don't believe in Jesus Christ. If Jews accept Jesus Christ as Messiah and as God, than they too...

    St. John Chrysostom's Easter Sermon

    I can believe what I want, I can believe the Jews are wrong and I am right (in my faith). Jews can believe they are right and I am wrong. And we go separate ways.

    St. John Chrysostom's Easter Sermon

    I believe his homilies reached their purpose, which was: to stop Christians keeping the Jewish Festivals and stay away from the Jews. I consider hatred towards Jews what has been done during the Spanish Inquisition, by the Catholic Church: when Jews were forced to convert to Catholicism and...

    St. John Chrysostom's Easter Sermon

    Yes, that's exactly what we believe. That we are the new Israel.

    St. John Chrysostom's Easter Sermon

    Also, his homilies were not heard by the Jews. This was something for those 'inside the house to hear', not for the Jews. It's like a parent who teaches his kids that homosexuals are demon possessed, but this teaching is supposed to stay in the house. It's more like a warning for his children...

    It is not the people he hates, is their religion.

    St. John Chrysostom's Easter Sermon

    St. John Chrysostom had no relation with the Jews, didn't even engaged with them, let alone harm them. He took attitude against them in a certain context and that context was the following: his flock started to participate in Jewish festivals, keep the Sabbath; this tendency of Christians to...
