The Revelation of the Theotokos - The Monophysites are not Orthodox!

The Story of Cosmiana at the Holy Tomb

00:00:10 Anastasius the presbyter told us this story. He was the guardian of the holy tomb from which our Lord and God Jesus Christ rose from the dead.

00:00:20 One Sunday evening he was approached by Cosmiana, the wife of the patrician Germanus, asking to be allowed to venerate alone the holy and life-giving memorial to our Lord Jesus Christ. But when she approached the sacred shrine our Lady the holy Theotokos appeared visibly to her accompanied by several other women.

00:00:35 “You are not one of us,” she said. “How dare you enter here? You may not go in. You are not one of us.”

00:00:45 She was an adherent of that brainless Severian heresy, but she implored insistently that she might be found worthy of entering in.

00:00:55 “Believe me, woman,” said the holy Theotokos, “you shall not enter here unless you are in communion with us.”

00:01:05 When she realised that it was because she was a heretic that she was not allowed to enter, and that entry would continue to be forbidden unless she returned to the holy Catholic and Apostolic Church of Christ our God and Lord, she immediately summoned a deacon who brought the holy chalice from which she received the holy Body and precious Blood of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ. And then without any let or hindrance she was counted worthy of adoring the holy and venerable tomb of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Commentary on the Severian Heresy

00:01:35 [This “Severian” heresy is named after Severus, a Monophysite, who dared to believe, just as the so-called “Orientals” of today believe: that Christ doesn’t possess 2 Natures after the Incarnation. May this video help them to repent and find salvation in the one and only Orthodox Church. May this video also help the “Orthodox” Ecumenists to stop blaspheming by confirming the “Orientals” (Monophysites) in their delusions which lead them unto eternal punishment! Don’t such “Orthodox” realize that they will have to answer for the souls of these heretics! True love seeks their conversion and the resulting salvation!]

Further insights from Theodore Balsamon, a 12th century Patriarch of Antioch

00:02:10 Question: Shall one perform priestly rites or pray together without danger with heretics, namely Jacobites and Nestorians, in their churches or even our own, or might one share a common table with them, or perform sponsorship at holy baptism, or perform memorial services of the departed, or commune of the Divine Sanctified Elements with them? For the areas difficulties create many such things, and I seek what one must do.

00:02:30 Answer: “Do not give the holy things to the dogs,” our Lord and God has said, nor “cast pearls before swine.” Indeed, on this account Canon 64 of the Holy Apostles, the heralds of God, also states, “if any clergyman or layman might enter an assembly of the Jews or heretics to pray, let him be defrocked and excommunicated.” Canon 33 of the Council in Laodicea, but indeed also 6 and 34, states the following: “Concerning not permitting heretics to enter into a house of God while they remain in heresy,” because one must not pray with a heretic or a schismatic, “a Christian must not abandon Christ’s martyrs and depart for false martyrs, namely, heretical ones or those that the aforementioned heretics produced. For these are estranged from God. Therefore, let those departing to them be anathematized.”

00:03:20 Indeed, on this account we also decided that both clergy and laity are subject not only to excommunication and defrocking when they pray together in a church of Orthodox or heretics or whenever they pray together as clergy, or even share a meal together, but also shall they be punished in a more severe way, according to the provisions of the cited divine canons. For the difficulties of areas, and the increase of heretics, did not change the soundness of the Orthodox Faith.
