@@Jondoe_04 I don’t go to church, my faith wavers and ebbs and flows over time. I don’t choose the path of devotion like I should. I’m pretty self-centered and fearful a lot of the time. Sometimes I struggle to believe in the resurrection. I don’t pray like I should and it feels awkward when I do. A part of me still holds back. But, I learned a few years ago about the value of faith. I noticed Christianity is the most reviled religion in our modern society and that made me interested in looking into it. I used to be a bit of a conspiracy theorist and I guess I realized the ultimate conspiracy theory is God’s real. He must be because I believe the devil, and sin exist. And Mr. Reeve’s videos about Tolkien and Lewis, I respected these intellects and come to find out they believed and it lit a tiny spark of interest in exploring the Bible for myself. So it’s just been a journey thus far, but I’ve yet to surrender myself completely and utterly to His will, I suppose is the jist of it.

@kaneinkansas
@kaneinkansas 7 місяців тому
Mine did, and he was Jewish. His love of the humanities and art, and the trajectory of Western Civilization left a lasting impression. His love of the mosaics of Ravenna eventually sent me there. He taught that Judiaism found the near-sacrifice of Isaac as the foundation of the special relationship between God and Abraham's descendants. But I realized immediately, that this was a foreshadowing of what God had planned to do for us with his son. Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his own son on behalf of God may have made God all the more willing to return the favor, but for all of us. He loved Plato, he loved the Iliad and the Odyssey, and the sculpture of the ancient world. I think everyone needs to have the class I had with him.

I'm so happy you are back. Your videos on the early Church inspired me and changed my view on things. Ever since I've been reading books on Church history and devouring the information, and fell in love with the Church Fathers and their wealth of wisdom, and their love and passion for Jesus Christ. I eventually ended up finding the Orthodox Church and calling it home. I appreciate that you try not to be biased, as much as possible anyway, Ultimately I believe neutrality is a myth. But you have a good balance in delivering the facts in the context of history. Very glad to have you back! I look forward to it all!
