St. John of Karpathos in the first volume of the Philokalia states:
"Lovers of slander and gossip shut themselves out from the kingdom of heaven."
St. Anthony the Great said:
"when we use futile or slanderous speech we condemn our soul."
St. Gregory Palamas said this regarding the 9th commandment against bearing false witness:
"You shall not slander (see Exodus 20:16), so that you do not resemble the devil, who slandered God to Eve, and become accursed as he did. Furthermore, it is better to cover for your neighbor’s sin—unless it harms others—"
SLANDEROUS LIES MADE AGAINST ME ON THE INTERNET (NOT NECESSARILY LIMITED TO YOUTUBE, BUT MOST ARE FROM YOUTUBE)
I have been accused of being a homosexual, of being expelled by all jurisdictions and churches, of being banned from Communion, of not being a baptized Orthodox Christian, of being possessed, of being a deviant since I am not married, of being thrown out of Protestant churches, of having other Youtube accounts deleted by Youtube, of wearing a hockey mask in videos, of wearing a ski mask in videos (the latter two in order to paint the image in your mind that I am mentally deranged), of being in prelest, of making threats, of suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder (and/or autism), of refusing to follow advice, of denying the presence of miracles in Orthodoxy, of being a Roman Catholic, of being a Protestant, of being a Gnostic, of holding the view that homosexuals can't repent, of being molested as a child, of being a heretic, of just trying to make money, of seeking fame, of claiming that Orthodox tradition doesn't matter, of always changing religions, and of planning to join a Sedevacantist monastery in New York.
No proof was ever given for a single accusation. I forgive the slanderers. May God bless you richly.
It appears that Cristero Warrior (previously known as Yusuf Reyes) has spread the rumor that I viciously attack people who disagree with me. That is another slander. I am very polite with people. The truth here is that Cristero Warrior has gone on a malicious campaign against me. So I think what he said about me is really a reflection of how he views himself. That's my opinion.
