The Greek Orthox Priest schooled everyone out there.

The Greek priest was correct. The Greek word as it was originally written in the scriptures for tempt is πειρασθῆναι (peirasthēnai). Strong’s 3985 definition for that is:”To try, tempt, test. From peira; to test, i.e. Endeavor, scrutinize, entice, discipline.” The devil tried, but the Lord Jesus was not internally tempted. As a matter of fact, he answered the devil’s attempts with the word of God. Matthew 4:1-11

The priest makes me proud to be Orthodox.

[kieran]

These heretical & cringy Protestants at the end.

[jesusislord]

I'm protestant and I agree with the Greek Orthox Priest.

[angelozachos]

Black dude who reads an English Bible, arguing with a Greek speaking priest who has read the Bible in the original Greek 😂

People are funny

[davidmckelvey]

As a Protestant, this Orthodox priest is an absolute W. God bless this man.

[fireballedits]

This is why I’m converting from Protestantism to Orthdoxy

[arthegor]

Clap to our Orthodox Priest. May God give him wisdom in further encounters! Amin

[ryanpat]

Let God arise and let his enemies be scattered. Glory to the true, Orthodox Christ.

[keelanenns]

As a Presbyterian, I am ashamed of those other Protestants. Greek Orthodox for the win

[beav_]

As a Protestant the Orthodox Priest was correct. The devil tried to tempt Jesus but he never did. Jesus was the perfect sinless sacrifice

[timothyjstrong]

Crazy that such a theological debate erupted on Oprah.

[discount]

if christ was ever tempted it would be to appear before these clowns and judge them harshly live on air

[Alpha-Omega]

This is our Bishop Pavlos in St Markella Astoria NY :D

[ToughCheese]

The greek priest was right, and the black presumably preacher was right.

The Lord may FACE temptation, as he is full man. But facing temptation, and BIENG tempted, are two different things. The Lord was never TEMPTED. He is Lord! Son of the Living God.

[P.Whitestrake]

The Orthodox priest is correct. What the Roman Catholic priests & Protestant pastors belive is borderline Nestorianism.
Christ's human nature is sinless because of the condition of His divine nature. Christ's human nature did indeed posess fallen nature because the entire human's nature is being fallen. That's why we feel pain, suffering, sickness. We're all fallen. However, being fallen is different than being sinful. Since Jesus isn't just a mere human becaise He's also divine, His human nature is sinless thanks to His divine nature. Because He's sinless, He couldn't be tempted by the devil. The devil tried to tempt Him, but He didn't accept the temptation from the devil into Himself. It's clearly written in The Bible. Most importantly on the part when Jesus was in the desert.

0:40 I love how they start trying to quiz him on theological matters put into practice BY the Orthodox Church

[TryingToFollowChrist]

I'm ashamed of my Catholic representative, he should of know better. We don't teach what he tried to back up, that temptation bubbled up from Christ human nature, not divine nature. May God blessing the Orthodox Priest that stood firm to the correct teaching.
