Ἡ θέση τοῦ Ἁγίου Πορφυρίου γιά τίς ἐλεύθερες σχέσεις-The position of St. Porphyrios regarding free relations

Ο αγιότατος Όσιος γενικώς ήταν τελείως αντίθετος στις νεοορθόδοξες – νεονικολαϊτικές διδασκαλίες περί ελεύθερων σχέσεων με πρόσχημα την αγάπη. Γνώριζε ότι οι διδασκαλίες αυτές ωθούν τους ανθρώπους και μάλιστα τους νέους στον ερωτισμό, στην ελευθεριότητα, στις σαρκικές αμαρτίες και στις διαστροφές.

To joy, from dejection (Saint Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia)

Put some effort Venerable – Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia

The indolent, the idle and the lazy are not all right with God. Laziness isn’t a good thing at all. Indolence is a sickness, it’s a sin. God doesn’t want us to be indolent. Great effort, movement, labour and action are a virtue. » Venerable Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia Source: pemptousia.com  http://www.diakonima.gr/2015/06/19/put-some-effort-venerable-porphyrios-of-kavsokalyvia/

Nobody’s ever done so.   » Venerable Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia Source:pemptousia.com   http://www.diakonima.gr/2015/05/10/its-not-food-venerable-porphyrios-of-kavsokalyvia/
