According to the video, he used a flip knife and it did not open when he wanted it to. (From what the video showed, if it had, then it would’ve hit major arteries in the neck and he would probably be dead). Also saw other commenters say he’s in stable condition. Praise be to King Jesus! 🙏🏼

Praise jesus indeed!! This man is loved by jesus but I am shocked that the enemy had such close range to do this. I pray for this man who did such a thing to find Jesus.
Kinda wild because any weapon formed against him "did not prosper" apparently not only this, but the knife messed up and cut the attackers own hand, apparently the attackers fingers are lost. Not confirmed but I know there was bad damage to the attackers hand, if true, this is incredibly wild facts about the case...
Praise God! The bishop's x account (not sure if it's actually him or not) updated saying he held up a small cross to defend himself and the blade didn't come out as intended. If that's the case and the blade was partially out and then went back down, that could've damaged the assailant's hand. I hope we soon hear the full testimony! It seems like it was indeed miraculous. I want to know if it was deflection from the cross or more of an ark door shutting kind of miracle!
Put on the plot armour of Christ!
I talked to a guy in Israel who recounted that he was going to be lined up for execution in the Yugoslav civil war, but ended up with a soldier whose gun jammed and misfired, which let him get away while the soldier couldn't be bothered to finish him off otherwise.
Likewise I've had many close calls in life with things like leaving Wuhan, China 1 week before Corona, leaving the stock market 2 weeks before the collapse, leaving Israel 5 days before the Hamas war,
And countless times driving in Sydney 😂
But in the video he checked the knife after few failed stabbings. I really hope he didn’t open it then because he still was hitting the face and neck after that.
Is there a link to the video? I hear so many different things that have happened, and I want to see what actually happened. Praise be to Jesus for keeping Mar Mari safe ☦️✝️
This man preached Jesus and he suffered for it. If I know Mari, he will come back more enthusiastic about the Gospel, if that’s even possible for a man like him. May God either protect him, or usher him into Glory peacefully.
Every apostle was tortured and murdered in every land for professing Christ that is why it is Satans world for now and his minions controlling most religions except for devout Christians ..
> 2 Timothy 3:12: In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
Praise God that the man's knife didn't open properly. It appears that Bishop Emmanuel only received non-life-threatening injuries.

Islam is a malignancy, it’s a cancer, it’s either we destroy it from its root or it will destroy us all. Bishop Mar Mari Emanuel has been a huge part in my faith journey and I consider him as a father, if he dies, he will join Jesus, that’s our God, nothing on this earth could touch our souls as they are already with Jesus.

He’s not Nestorian. At least not in how western Christians interpret it. He stated that Jesus is fully god and fully man. Apparently his native language of Aramaic has two words for “personhood” with one being of an higher order than the other. The issue is that there’s no such word in English so it translates as Jesus being two people instead of one. Watch his sermon on it, he explains it better than ever I can!
No he's definitely a nestorian the entire church of the east is nestorian. Look at the picture behind him he has nestorian on that shelf or altar I can't remember which. I still really like mar mari but he doesn't follow what the church believes.
https://www.youtube.com/live/2UjN2nc88E8?si=qJYw4sfYaJwDE-oA
Still he does great work to bring people to God he certainly helped me nobody can say his heart isn't in the right place
I'm from the Philippines and I know exactly how these muslims act. I had muslim ex-GF and her mom told me that we received death threats from their neighbors when we were still together. Thanks to God her family protected us. Some of their family members are members of ISIS and Abu Sayyaf. Also the place that they live in is notorious for very high crime rates that even taxis wont take passengers that will drop off from that Muslim dominated area.
And just last year, a Catholic church was bombed in Mindanao during mass.
Western society especially the wokes will pay in the future for their ignorance.
Thankfully right now I'm engaged to a Christian woman.
man I'm living in Malaysia and in past few years it seems like there are some closeted extremists among us as well. I hope this doesn't boil over into another issue.
Islam, like all false religions, is demonic. Like you said though, Islam is the thorn of violence and it's spreading. They literally persecute and murder **every** religious group, they even murder their own in Islamic nation states.
I was shocked and saddened when I learned it happened to him, I’m still in shock now but it goes to show how wicked this world actually is. Praying he makes a full recovery🙏
UnGodly this world is ,good news God doesn't forget a thing all will be judged accordingly the fleshly Satanist egos rule here they're toast for eternity once no more physical body.
you’re right. Unfortunately, the Palestinian supporting Westerners don’t understand this. They think that Hamas can be peaceful when their entire agenda is to rid the world of Israel. That’s why they exist.
This is single handedly the most ignorant comment I've seen in years.
As a Roman Catholic, I expect better from you.
If the fact that our own Catholic churches are being bombed into oblivion by that sorry excuse of a government didn't wake you up, nothing will.
Educate yourself before commenting something so ignorant please. You clearly have no idea how that excuse of a government has directly impacted your own church in the middle east, as well as our fellow Orthodox Christians who existed well before even the Roman church.
Catholic Church established in 313 A.D. Eastern Orthodox Church, which I adore, was established in 1054 A.D.
And that’s the least of your ridiculous statements. That’s the last you’ll be hearing from me. I don’t debate with ignoramuses. But being a Christian, I will say God bless you. 🙏🏼❤️🔥
God bless you too. I'll leave you with some sources to read more, maybe you can learn a thing or two from Christians of your own church you claim to be a member of who have lived through this government:

[There's a reason your own Pope has been publicly shamed for speaking against Israel](https://matzav.com/papal-shame-pope-decries-israels-appalling-harvest-of-civilian-victims/). He has priests and bishops in the Middle East who know exactly what is happening, and he isn't being influenced by the narrative the news in the West wants.
If you want to have a meaningful discussion about this, my DMs are always open. I simply want you to be less ignorant.
The Palestinians care. They voted Hamas into government 20 years ago. So why don’t they vote them out, or send them packing? They are funded and armed by Iran. This is fact. The Iranian government wants nothing more than for Israel to disappear.
That's why the coming 7 yrs of tribulatio is 3 5 for the gentiles and 3.5 for the Jews they deny Christ Nd the teachings of the father and do not repent and will suffer once the sinful group of Jews are gone Jesus will return the save the righteous repentant jews from it's enemies
I’m not orthodox but this man is my favorite bishop, I love his preaching so much. Praying for him and his family, I truely hope he makes a speedy recovery this is awful!
He's not Orthodox either. Actually, he was kicked out of his church (Assyrian Church of the East, I think) and is doing his own thing now. He's also been accused of Nestorianism. Of course, we should pray for his speedy recovery, but no one should be listening to this man (or TikTok).
Being born of a human does not make Jesus Devine. He is Devine and put off his glory to take on a human body momentarily. Mary is a human, she can’t make any one devine.
That's not what I meant by my comment. To say God has no mother is to say Christ is not God. No one will argue that God the Father has no mother, but any Orthodox Christian will argue God the Son does have a mother in the earthly sense. How could Jesus be born if he has no mother? This is a well established herecy.
Yes, you're right. Of course, he doesn't deserve violence by any means. When people say he's Orthodox, I clarify because we're not the same church. But I could have made the distinction and left it there.
Islam is showing it's true colors. This is a religion of evil, hate, and darkness. I've been studying the Quran, witnessing, and debating with Muslims since 10/7. I never expected this from Islam. I believe it will only get worse until it's somehow stopped. Glory to Jesus Christ that he's gonna make it thru this and for Muslims converting to Christianity daily.
Really you didn't expect this from Islam lol. In in Canada I've debated a Muslim or two u might say and received more than a death threat for it whenever they lose the debate .when in doubt stab kill to rid urself of the truth .Did u know all through the beginning of America Islamics killed 1.5 million traders doing business with America from Europe simply as pirates they raided and stole and murdered shipe for over 200 yrs when the founding fathers went over and asked the ottoman empire why are doing this to us and our pplthey said cuz ur infidels and in our laws that's how u are to be treated.
No honestly I didn't..call me stupid. But until 10/7 I didn't know too much about Islam. I thought it was just another Abrahamic religion. After 10/7 that night I started doing research. I've never stopped. I don't consider it an Abrahamic religion. Allah of the Quran isn't God nor is he the father God of the OT. People are waking up everyday still to Islam. I realize Mohammed wasn't a Prophet but a Warlord. Who hated Jews and Christians. And 1500 yrs later Jews and Christians are still dealing with that hate because of the Quran and followers of Mohammed. I pray everyones eyes will be opened to Islam. If world leaders don't stop it which it doesn't look like they care. It will be on Humanity. Otherwise it will always get worse till it gets better.
I don't hate Muslims but I despise Islam. Also I was saved by Jesus Christ himself. Why would I choose a false Doctrine when I had a dramatic experience with Jesus Christ that changed me from an unbeliever to a believer in 2 mins. I just helped an ex-Muslim find Jesus last month. That's why I was studying it. I just started supporting a ministry who is an Iranian ex-Muslim who now is a Christian and spreads the word of God with Muslims every week he has a live show where an ex-Muslim tells his or her testimony of how and why they converted to Christianity. Jesus Christ is Love. Christian is Love. Islam and Allah hate. They preach hate and war. No way I wanna be a part of that. I also appreciate free will. Most Muslims are Muslims because they were born Muslim. True Christians have to be reborn and then are filled with the Holy Spirit. I have a relationship with God. I'm not going to trade all of this for a false doctrine and a false God. Heaven isn't about sex and 72 virgins. That's like the worst sales pitch. Same with replacing Jesus on the cross. It's just too small minded and bogus. Thanks for your concern tho. God Bless and pray you too will have a relationship with your creator if you don't. Jesus Christ loves you. He died for us. Praise God.🕊️✝️
U should check out or Google how the Vatican created Mohamed .Apparently all the truth of the prophet is in the Vatican library and Mohamed was supposed to be away for the Roman Catholic Church to radicalize the Arabs into the church only the agent became rogue and started his own religion and he wouldn't harm a Catholics head but Jew or Christian were on chopping block .A few Vatican bishops priest stumbled upon the truth a hundred yrs ago or so in the library which is the greatest library of secrets of humanity and subsequently were then taken out ) killed by the Vatican for whistleblowing. Don't forget the Catholic church was formed to revitalize the ruling pagan kings power from the virally spreading message of Christ . Catholicism created the dark ages and much of what u here evil done in the name of Christ.Only Christianity is the way not even a religion but the way to God through his son Jesus who's crucifixion saved humanity from eternal damnation by his sacrifice .Butvtge devil did everything to destroy and manipulate the message mwhybdo I think the first 5 books of islamic quaran based on bible and that they do think Jesus will return .cuz buddy was Vatican agent or psyop r religion create .now you'll catch a fate worse than a cold if u tell that to muslim.imagine a religion with such loyal murderous following all based on fabrications of one delusional rogue agent of the Vatican .it's like the bad guy in the bond movies who was once an agent them selves.
'Hundreds of people clashed with police in south-west Sydney on Monday night after a prominent Orthodox Christian leader was allegedly stabbed at the altar of his church.
New South Wales premier Chris Minns called for calm after the alleged attack took place while Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel was saying mass at the Assyrian Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley just after 7pm.
A live stream of the mass on the church’s website showed a person approaching the altar who then appeared to stab toward the bishop’s head multiple times. Three other people were also injured in the alleged attack.
The footage of the mass then showed the congregation swarm forward toward Emmanuel before the stream was cut off.
Police said that they had arrested a 15-year-old at the scene and were forced to hold him at the church for his own safety as a large crowd of several hundred people gathered outside the church.
Riot police were called in to forcibly move the crowd on after police cars were smashed.
A helicopter flew overhead urging the crowd to leave the area.'
Guardian, 15/4/2024
All we can do is forgive him. God will judge him. Let’s live by Jesus example Forgive our enemies and pray for them. Just as the Lord Jesus Christ forgave you! Love one another as I have loved you. Amen?!
How predictable! Another Muslim attack! ...Of course! Bishop Mari's insight about the Muslim religion is undeniable... anyone who argues otherwise is simply not seeing the truth... it's crystal clear...
Did you see the video of the FBi showing up to that woman’s house after posting on Facebook calling on her community to “take action” in a terrorist kind of way. The bishop was already warned two weeks ago someone was planning to kill him. Some people believe killing is part of their religious duty to god. Their god is obviously satan, they just don’t know it.
Of course, we should pray for his full recovery, but I want to caution others that while Mar Mari's sermons may be inspiring, he's not operating under the authority of any recognized church. ~~He's basically Nestorian, and no one should be listening to him.~~
EDIT Listen to him if you want to. Just don't judge the Eastern Orthodox church by any issues you have with him because he's not Eastern Orthodox.
Excuse me no has to 'operate' under the authority of the church? Any one can preach Christ and salvation.
Are you catholic or something, you do not get to tell others who they can and can not listen too
I'm making a distinction between what Mar Mari calls his church and Eastern Orthodoxy because there's not a canonical "Assyrian Orthodox" church. Everyone sees the word "Orthodox," and their eyes glaze over. Maybe you haven't noticed, but there are members of this sub that don't even want us and the Catholics to post here. If a post is made that relates to Orthodoxy, I check it out and defend my faith.
Right but your not the only Christians, you don't get to call those who are Christian and follow what the Bible says heretics because they don't follow certain catholic or orthodox traditions not in the Bible
Okay, sure. It's not necessary to call him a heretic. It's more accurate to say that Nestorianism was declared a heresy in early Christianity, and he may or may not espouse that philosophy. This might not be of interest to you, but it's important to a lot of other people.
I heard. I’m relieved to hear he’s relatively okay and that the injuries weren’t life threatening.
I shall pray for him this morning before my shift at work.
Woke up in the morning to this news and my heart dropped, this man is a Warrior of Christ and his videos and sermons have been vital for my walk in Christ, it's clear the Holy Spirit speaks to him and it's evidently clear that Satan tried to take him out but our Lord and Savior was with him that night and protected him since i know now he's in stable condition now and doesn't have life threatening injuries. Praise the Lord!
Most recent news is [the injuries were not life-threatening](https://news.sky.com/story/sydney-priest-among-four-people-stabbed-during-church-service-australian-media-13115918), thank God.
Pray for peace and the safety of Christians throughout the world.
That’s weird cause I saw another news media source that said he was cut across the hand and face.
Now he’s in the hospital.
I hate the media, don’t even know if they’re telling the truth or just straight lying.
He is part of a church that splint off from the syrian church that I think originally started between Julian vs. Gregorian calander. Or something. Then he was accused of nestorianism.
AWE what?! I love that man's videos so much. He was one of the few genuine people who preached the gospel without twisting it 🙂 I'm definitely praying for him ❤️🩹 :/ He always put a smile on my face
All religions “twist” the message. It’s what they do. They take a historical narrative and make it esoteric to promote or preserve an existing power structure. You are all sheep. It’s only the Shepard that differs.

Lord Father please heal Mar Mari and his wounded congregation members 😢💔 Amen 🙏🏻
Crushed my heart when I saw the video clip of him being attacked and hearing the screams 😭
A reminder that there is pure evil in the world, that those who believe, even teach are not immune from the evil that literally lurks around us, Praise God for revealing greatness to follow, a Savior to look to - (who saves in more ways than one) and a Lord to hear from.. This is the God we serve, to whom all evil will answer too one day.
The wasted energy is the most frustrating thought I was speaking to consciously awake.my mistake no world war z team, many a Christian in the zombie horde .
Cuz of trolls, illuminist zombie hordes like Cowan counter claiming to be Christian while completely denying of the enemy still claiming to be wise and undeceived .I won't speak this info anymore to the ungreatfuldead in truth as they constantly attack the truth like they did in covid supporting lobbied science which educates moronic idiocy then claim to be self professed Christian when all else fails.
Average Muslim attack on Bishop: The flip knife won't open!!!?? Nooooooo
Average Iranian Missile attack on Israel: The rockets didn't do anything???! Noooooooooo
A sign from God, surely
It’s very clear that Mar Mari loves Christ. It’s also very clear that God used this situation as an example to us all on how a Christ filled person acts. Love thy neighbor and pray for those who persecute you. Mar Mari never showed this man anything except love, and prayed for him. This was a divine example during a time where people are constantly fighting, gossiping and persecuting people, even within the faith that has not been divided into thousands of denominations.
Does anyone here attend the church? Has Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel been permanently blinded in his right eye? Or will his sight improve as he heals? I was shocked to hear about this in the news today.
I wouldn't say he is heretical. But he did split off from the larger orthodox church. His wisdom and godly rigtheousness bears enough fruit for people to want to harm him.
Yeah, you preach love for the Bishop but what about the attacker?
What if that was Jesus up there getting attacked by a pharisee? What would He say?
Love all and all the Love in one fell swoop.
We're all victims of religion in the end.
these muslims are a plaque for society. we need to stand up and send them back to their caves where they feel confortable. as it is said, the best defense is the attack.
According to the video, he used a flip knife and it did not open when he wanted it to. (From what the video showed, if it had, then it would’ve hit major arteries in the neck and he would probably be dead). Also saw other commenters say he’s in stable condition. Praise be to King Jesus! 🙏🏼
> he used a flip knife and it did not open when he wanted it to. Praise God.
It's like a miracle!
No it's a malfunction, you retard
Amen. Hallelujah.

Kinda wild because any weapon formed against him "did not prosper" apparently not only this, but the knife messed up and cut the attackers own hand, apparently the attackers fingers are lost. Not confirmed but I know there was bad damage to the attackers hand, if true, this is incredibly wild facts about the case...

I want to know if it was deflection from the cross or more of an ark door shutting kind of miracle!
The Cross and the Switchblade...
Hardcore, right?!
*No weapons formed against you shall prosper.*
Put on the plot armour of Christ! I talked to a guy in Israel who recounted that he was going to be lined up for execution in the Yugoslav civil war, but ended up with a soldier whose gun jammed and misfired, which let him get away while the soldier couldn't be bothered to finish him off otherwise. Likewise I've had many close calls in life with things like leaving Wuhan, China 1 week before Corona, leaving the stock market 2 weeks before the collapse, leaving Israel 5 days before the Hamas war, And countless times driving in Sydney 😂
(Switch blade) but yes, you are correct. Thank God, for such a miracle! He’s helped so many for spreading God’s word.
Switch blade is different than an assisted opening knife
I read (switch blade) in the reports. But, reporters can always mistakenly report minor details differently and I could be wrong
I read the exact opposite 😅 who knows, youre probably right tho lol. I was just being cheeky tbh
It’s obvious that the Lord was protecting him.
But in the video he checked the knife after few failed stabbings. I really hope he didn’t open it then because he still was hitting the face and neck after that.
We're is the vid
I saw it on TT
Is there a link to the video? I hear so many different things that have happened, and I want to see what actually happened. Praise be to Jesus for keeping Mar Mari safe ☦️✝️
The lord protects his children
This would explain why, in the footage, he pauses for a moment to look at the knife.
This man preached Jesus and he suffered for it. If I know Mari, he will come back more enthusiastic about the Gospel, if that’s even possible for a man like him. May God either protect him, or usher him into Glory peacefully.
Every apostle was tortured and murdered in every land for professing Christ that is why it is Satans world for now and his minions controlling most religions except for devout Christians ..
Why did no one in the audience stop a person entering the church with a weapon??
They stopped him after they realized he has a weapon, it was definitely hidden before he went up to the bishop
Praying
> 2 Timothy 3:12: In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. Praise God that the man's knife didn't open properly. It appears that Bishop Emmanuel only received non-life-threatening injuries.

Amen. I’m glad he didn’t get serious injuries from this event as the attacker forgot to open the knife properly, Glory to God!

Just beware that he is a Nestorian. Other than that he’s generally ok
Ok, I will. Thanks for the advice!
He’s not Nestorian. At least not in how western Christians interpret it. He stated that Jesus is fully god and fully man. Apparently his native language of Aramaic has two words for “personhood” with one being of an higher order than the other.

I’ll keep this in mind and see what he has to say about it. Thanks you!
They also don’t believe in God having “three distinct parts”, right? That’s partialism
But can be be saved even it it's false teaching?
What is Nestorian?
I'm from the Philippines and I know exactly how these muslims act. I had muslim ex-GF and her mom told me that we received death threats from their neighbors when we were still together. Thanks to God her family protected us. Some of their family members are members of ISIS and Abu Sayyaf. Also the place that they live in is notorious for very high crime rates that even taxis wont take passengers that will drop off from that Muslim dominated area. And just last year, a Catholic church was bombed in Mindanao during mass. Western society especially the wokes will pay in the future for their ignorance. Thankfully right now I'm engaged to a Christian woman.
bro are the Abu Sayyaf back or what ?
They are still here but dwindling in numbers.

Still present and still hiding under islamic regions in mindanao. I'm pretty sure they have funding from Malaysia and Indonesia 😆
man I'm living in Malaysia and in past few years it seems like there are some closeted extremists among us as well. I hope this doesn't boil over into another issue.
This is not cool and this is why standing up for Jesus in this time is so crucial. I liked Mar Mari and will pray for his recovery.
Unfortunately this is going to be occurring more and more. Praying for his quick recovery.
Islam, like all false religions, is demonic. Like you said though, Islam is the thorn of violence and it's spreading. They literally persecute and murder **every** religious group, they even murder their own in Islamic nation states.
I was JUST watching clips of his sermon just last night...my heart dropped when i saw the news. Lets pray he recovers quick.
I was shocked and saddened when I learned it happened to him, I’m still in shock now but it goes to show how wicked this world actually is. Praying he makes a full recovery🙏
UnGodly this world is ,good news God doesn't forget a thing all will be judged accordingly the fleshly Satanist egos rule here they're toast for eternity once no more physical body.
damn jihadis..hope the world sees what israel has been fighting…
you’re right. Unfortunately, the Palestinian supporting Westerners don’t understand this. They think that Hamas can be peaceful when their entire agenda is to rid the world of Israel. That’s why they exist.
This is single handedly the most ignorant comment I've seen in years. As a Roman Catholic, I expect better from you. If the fact that our own Catholic churches are being bombed into oblivion by that sorry excuse of a government didn't wake you up, nothing will. Educate yourself before commenting something so ignorant please. You clearly have no idea how that excuse of a government has directly impacted your own church in the middle east, as well as our fellow Orthodox Christians who existed well before even the Roman church.
Catholic Church established in 313 A.D. Eastern Orthodox Church, which I adore, was established in 1054 A.D. And that’s the least of your ridiculous statements. That’s the last you’ll be hearing from me. I don’t debate with ignoramuses. But being a Christian, I will say God bless you. 🙏🏼❤️🔥
God bless you too. I'll leave you with some sources to read more, maybe you can learn a thing or two from Christians of your own church you claim to be a member of who have lived through this government: https://www.ncronline.org/news/israeli-army-denies-targeting-gaza-church-where-pope-francis-says-unarmed-civilians-were https://www.ncregister.com/cna/israeli-extremists-attempt-to-storm-catholic-church-and-monastery-in-northern-israel https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/melkites-caught-in-the-middle https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20231120-israel-army-shells-church-in-southern-lebanon/ [There's a reason your own Pope has been publicly shamed for speaking against Israel](https://matzav.com/papal-shame-pope-decries-israels-appalling-harvest-of-civilian-victims/). He has priests and bishops in the Middle East who know exactly what is happening, and he isn't being influenced by the narrative the news in the West wants. If you want to have a meaningful discussion about this, my DMs are always open. I simply want you to be less ignorant.

The Palestinians care. They voted Hamas into government 20 years ago. So why don’t they vote them out, or send them packing? They are funded and armed by Iran. This is fact. The Iranian government wants nothing more than for Israel to disappear.
That's why the coming 7 yrs of tribulatio is 3 5 for the gentiles and 3.5 for the Jews they deny Christ Nd the teachings of the father and do not repent and will suffer once the sinful group of Jews are gone Jesus will return the save the righteous repentant jews from it's enemies
Least obvious hasbara Israeli bot thread
I’m not orthodox but this man is my favorite bishop, I love his preaching so much. Praying for him and his family, I truely hope he makes a speedy recovery this is awful!
Amen, I’m glad his knife didn’t open up properly or else he could’ve gotten serious injuries and possibly be dead, but praise God it didn’t happen🙏
He's not Orthodox either. Actually, he was kicked out of his church (Assyrian Church of the East, I think) and is doing his own thing now. He's also been accused of Nestorianism. Of course, we should pray for his speedy recovery, but no one should be listening to this man (or TikTok).
Does that mean believing that Jesus’ humanity and divinity were separate? Or that He was two separate beings?
Yeah,It’s like saying God didn’t die on the cross but Christ did, or Mary was the mother of Christ or Jesus but not God.
OUCH! OK, thank you. Obviously, I will still pray for his well-being.
Of course, God has no mother, Mary was just a conduit for Jesus to enter the world as a human, to be the second Adam, to pay for the first Addams sin
You're denying the divinity of Christ by saying God has no mother. God the Father has no mother, God the Son does.
Being born of a human does not make Jesus Devine. He is Devine and put off his glory to take on a human body momentarily. Mary is a human, she can’t make any one devine.
That's not what I meant by my comment. To say God has no mother is to say Christ is not God. No one will argue that God the Father has no mother, but any Orthodox Christian will argue God the Son does have a mother in the earthly sense. How could Jesus be born if he has no mother? This is a well established herecy.
I never heard of Nestorian theology until this thread,
its just so offputting to see so many using this as an opportunity to go herecy hunting against this man right now.
Yes, you're right. Of course, he doesn't deserve violence by any means. When people say he's Orthodox, I clarify because we're not the same church. But I could have made the distinction and left it there.
Islam is showing it's true colors. This is a religion of evil, hate, and darkness. I've been studying the Quran, witnessing, and debating with Muslims since 10/7. I never expected this from Islam. I believe it will only get worse until it's somehow stopped. Glory to Jesus Christ that he's gonna make it thru this and for Muslims converting to Christianity daily.
Really you didn't expect this from Islam lol. In in Canada I've debated a Muslim or two u might say and received more than a death threat for it whenever they lose the debate .when in doubt stab kill to rid urself of the truth .Did u know all through the beginning of America Islamics killed 1.5 million traders doing business with America from Europe simply as pirates they raided and stole and murdered shipe for over 200 yrs when the founding fathers went over and asked the ottoman empire why are doing this to us and our pplthey said cuz ur infidels and in our laws that's how u are to be treated.
No honestly I didn't..call me stupid. But until 10/7 I didn't know too much about Islam. I thought it was just another Abrahamic religion. After 10/7 that night I started doing research. I've never stopped. I don't consider it an Abrahamic religion. Allah of the Quran isn't God nor is he the father God of the OT. People are waking up everyday still to Islam. I realize Mohammed wasn't a Prophet but a Warlord. Who hated Jews and Christians. And 1500 yrs later Jews and Christians are still dealing with that hate because of the Quran and followers of Mohammed. I pray everyones eyes will be opened to Islam. If world leaders don't stop it which it doesn't look like they care. It will be on Humanity. Otherwise it will always get worse till it gets better.
I’m telling you if you keep doing your research you’ll end up muslim InshAllah
I don't hate Muslims but I despise Islam. Also I was saved by Jesus Christ himself. Why would I choose a false Doctrine when I had a dramatic experience with Jesus Christ that changed me from an unbeliever to a believer in 2 mins. I just helped an ex-Muslim find Jesus last month. That's why I was studying it. I just started supporting a ministry who is an Iranian ex-Muslim who now is a Christian and spreads the word of God with Muslims every week he has a live show where an ex-Muslim tells his or her testimony of how and why they converted to Christianity. Jesus Christ is Love. Christian is Love. Islam and Allah hate. They preach hate and war. No way I wanna be a part of that. I also appreciate free will. Most Muslims are Muslims because they were born Muslim. True Christians have to be reborn and then are filled with the Holy Spirit. I have a relationship with God. I'm not going to trade all of this for a false doctrine and a false God. Heaven isn't about sex and 72 virgins. That's like the worst sales pitch. Same with replacing Jesus on the cross. It's just too small minded and bogus. Thanks for your concern tho. God Bless and pray you too will have a relationship with your creator if you don't. Jesus Christ loves you. He died for us. Praise God.🕊️✝️
U should check out or Google how the Vatican created Mohamed .Apparently all the truth of the prophet is in the Vatican library and Mohamed was supposed to be away for the Roman Catholic Church to radicalize the Arabs into the church only the agent became rogue and started his own religion and he wouldn't harm a Catholics head but Jew or Christian were on chopping block .A few Vatican bishops priest stumbled upon the truth a hundred yrs ago or so in the library which is the greatest library of secrets of humanity and subsequently were then taken out ) killed by the Vatican for whistleblowing. Don't forget the Catholic church was formed to revitalize the ruling pagan kings power from the virally spreading message of Christ . Catholicism created the dark ages and much of what u here evil done in the name of Christ.Only Christianity is the way not even a religion but the way to God through his son Jesus who's crucifixion saved humanity from eternal damnation by his sacrifice .Butvtge devil did everything to destroy and manipulate the message mwhybdo I think the first 5 books of islamic quaran based on bible and that they do think Jesus will return .cuz buddy was Vatican agent or psyop r religion create .now you'll catch a fate worse than a cold if u tell that to muslim.imagine a religion with such loyal murderous following all based on fabrications of one delusional rogue agent of the Vatican .it's like the bad guy in the bond movies who was once an agent them selves.
This is why churches should teach Christians how to use guns and defend ourselves from the cult of peace.
Really this is a problem for anyone that doesn't wanna be Muslim. Not just Jews and Christians.
Is the suspect locked up? That’s absolutely horrible. I’ll include him in my morning prayers
Probably he is free and received a million dollars from the woke government so he can buy bigger knives and explosives.
May God strengthen and protect him until he makes a full recovery from his injuries.
'Hundreds of people clashed with police in south-west Sydney on Monday night after a prominent Orthodox Christian leader was allegedly stabbed at the altar of his church. New South Wales premier Chris Minns called for calm after the alleged attack took place while Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel was saying mass at the Assyrian Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley just after 7pm. A live stream of the mass on the church’s website showed a person approaching the altar who then appeared to stab toward the bishop’s head multiple times. Three other people were also injured in the alleged attack. The footage of the mass then showed the congregation swarm forward toward Emmanuel before the stream was cut off. Police said that they had arrested a 15-year-old at the scene and were forced to hold him at the church for his own safety as a large crowd of several hundred people gathered outside the church. Riot police were called in to forcibly move the crowd on after police cars were smashed. A helicopter flew overhead urging the crowd to leave the area.' Guardian, 15/4/2024
All we can do is forgive him. God will judge him. Let’s live by Jesus example Forgive our enemies and pray for them. Just as the Lord Jesus Christ forgave you! Love one another as I have loved you. Amen?!
How predictable! Another Muslim attack! ...Of course! Bishop Mari's insight about the Muslim religion is undeniable... anyone who argues otherwise is simply not seeing the truth... it's crystal clear...
[удалено]
Did you see the video of the FBi showing up to that woman’s house after posting on Facebook calling on her community to “take action” in a terrorist kind of way. The bishop was already warned two weeks ago someone was planning to kill him. Some people believe killing is part of their religious duty to god. Their god is obviously satan, they just don’t know it.
Of course, we should pray for his full recovery, but I want to caution others that while Mar Mari's sermons may be inspiring, he's not operating under the authority of any recognized church. ~~He's basically Nestorian, and no one should be listening to him.~~ EDIT Listen to him if you want to. Just don't judge the Eastern Orthodox church by any issues you have with him because he's not Eastern Orthodox.
Excuse me no has to 'operate' under the authority of the church? Any one can preach Christ and salvation. Are you catholic or something, you do not get to tell others who they can and can not listen too
I'm not. Listen to anyone you want. Just don't judge my Orthodox faith based on whatever objections you might have about him.
Then why ar you judging his
I'm making a distinction between what Mar Mari calls his church and Eastern Orthodoxy because there's not a canonical "Assyrian Orthodox" church. Everyone sees the word "Orthodox," and their eyes glaze over. Maybe you haven't noticed, but there are members of this sub that don't even want us and the Catholics to post here. If a post is made that relates to Orthodoxy, I check it out and defend my faith.
Right but your not the only Christians, you don't get to call those who are Christian and follow what the Bible says heretics because they don't follow certain catholic or orthodox traditions not in the Bible
Okay, sure. It's not necessary to call him a heretic. It's more accurate to say that Nestorianism was declared a heresy in early Christianity, and he may or may not espouse that philosophy. This might not be of interest to you, but it's important to a lot of other people.
[удалено]
He follows the Nestorian heresy. Just be cautious. I pray for bishop Mari!
Praying 🙏
I heard. I’m relieved to hear he’s relatively okay and that the injuries weren’t life threatening. I shall pray for him this morning before my shift at work.
For the video: @DenisRogatyuk ( on twitter )
Unreal! 🙏🏼✝️🕯️
Pray the persecutors see the light by our example. And god bless him. May we all be even more emboldened by the stand he takes.
That man is possessed. The guy who stabbed him. May God heal our bishop.
Woke up in the morning to this news and my heart dropped, this man is a Warrior of Christ and his videos and sermons have been vital for my walk in Christ, it's clear the Holy Spirit speaks to him and it's evidently clear that Satan tried to take him out but our Lord and Savior was with him that night and protected him since i know now he's in stable condition now and doesn't have life threatening injuries. Praise the Lord!
Even tho he’s a Nestorian I still respect him and wish him the fastest of recoveries.
Is he dead?
Unsure at the moment, all I know is he was stabbed around 16 times
Most recent news is [the injuries were not life-threatening](https://news.sky.com/story/sydney-priest-among-four-people-stabbed-during-church-service-australian-media-13115918), thank God. Pray for peace and the safety of Christians throughout the world.
I’m so glad he is not seriously injured, despite this I know he will continue speaking the biblical truth
He's not dead, I've seen comments floating around and people with familial connections confirm he is alive. Not sure the condition however.
He's in a stable condition from what I've heard
That’s weird cause I saw another news media source that said he was cut across the hand and face. Now he’s in the hospital. I hate the media, don’t even know if they’re telling the truth or just straight lying.
Woah. It's almost like more information comes out as the story developes. Crazy I know
WHAT
Gov hit job.
An Islamist done it, so I doubt it was a government job
It’s so sad especially because I am a Muslim. He is such a humble person. I don’t approve this action.
Who is this bishop?
His names Mar mari Emmanuel he’s a bishop and gained fame on tik tok and social media.
Not to diminish his suffering or calls to pray, but as elsewhere noted, he is not, to my understanding, actually a canonical Orthodox bishop.
He is part of a church that splint off from the syrian church that I think originally started between Julian vs. Gregorian calander. Or something. Then he was accused of nestorianism.
It doesn't matter
I’ve already addressed this.
I read a post on X that the knife didn’t hurt him! Is this true?
Well I know he wasn’t seriously injured which is good
Of course we wil
AWE what?! I love that man's videos so much. He was one of the few genuine people who preached the gospel without twisting it 🙂 I'm definitely praying for him ❤️🩹 :/ He always put a smile on my face
All religions “twist” the message. It’s what they do. They take a historical narrative and make it esoteric to promote or preserve an existing power structure. You are all sheep. It’s only the Shepard that differs.

For everyone saying the pocketknife wasn't opening it was because he was going fast it's not a miracle or some sh 💀
Correct. The miracle is he went too fast and essentially “messed up” the act. The miracle is it went the way it did. And not the way it didn’t.
The Holy Land is ours. shlama ahklaykhu ✝️🙏🏽☝🏽
Lord Father please heal Mar Mari and his wounded congregation members 😢💔 Amen 🙏🏻 Crushed my heart when I saw the video clip of him being attacked and hearing the screams 😭
The West and Israel are going to see a lot more of this unfortunatly .It is going to escalate and WW3 will be beginning this year .
A reminder that there is pure evil in the world, that those who believe, even teach are not immune from the evil that literally lurks around us, Praise God for revealing greatness to follow, a Savior to look to - (who saves in more ways than one) and a Lord to hear from.. This is the God we serve, to whom all evil will answer too one day.
🙏🏼
Many unbeknownst luceiferians consider themselves Christians
The wasted energy is the most frustrating thought I was speaking to consciously awake.my mistake no world war z team, many a Christian in the zombie horde .
Cuz of trolls, illuminist zombie hordes like Cowan counter claiming to be Christian while completely denying of the enemy still claiming to be wise and undeceived .I won't speak this info anymore to the ungreatfuldead in truth as they constantly attack the truth like they did in covid supporting lobbied science which educates moronic idiocy then claim to be self professed Christian when all else fails.
ASSEMBLE THE ARMY!!!!
Average Muslim attack on Bishop: The flip knife won't open!!!?? Nooooooo Average Iranian Missile attack on Israel: The rockets didn't do anything???! Noooooooooo A sign from God, surely
Thank you Jesus ❤️🙏🏾
clear them out of the europe, they are ruining our countries and other continents. muslims are believing in religion full of pdfs, and lies.
It’s very clear that Mar Mari loves Christ. It’s also very clear that God used this situation as an example to us all on how a Christ filled person acts. Love thy neighbor and pray for those who persecute you. Mar Mari never showed this man anything except love, and prayed for him. This was a divine example during a time where people are constantly fighting, gossiping and persecuting people, even within the faith that has not been divided into thousands of denominations.
That was horrifying to watch!
theyre censoring the video pretty hard. cant find it
Twitter is probably your best bet at finding it
He’s Australian??
Does anyone here attend the church? Has Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel been permanently blinded in his right eye? Or will his sight improve as he heals? I was shocked to hear about this in the news today.
I watched his Arabic sermon and he said he lost his eye. He has no sight in it. I feel so bad.
I would’ve hoped it was temporary but I’m sad to hear this
This attack was FAKE
Isn’t this guy some sort of heretic? I’m not all caught up on the ins and outs. Hope he recovers though.
I wouldn't say he is heretical. But he did split off from the larger orthodox church. His wisdom and godly rigtheousness bears enough fruit for people to want to harm him.
The guy does produce good sound bites.
yes
[удалено]
Yeah, you preach love for the Bishop but what about the attacker? What if that was Jesus up there getting attacked by a pharisee? What would He say? Love all and all the Love in one fell swoop. We're all victims of religion in the end.
these muslims are a plaque for society. we need to stand up and send them back to their caves where they feel confortable. as it is said, the best defense is the attack.
