Excellent closing remarks re verses 10-13. Fr Stephen reminds us in Whom our trust must be; not in Empire and system, "The City of Man" (Ala Cain), but we are citizens of "The City of God." God is Life, in whom our life is rooted.
2nd half is excellent discussion of Jesus as being the pre-incarnate Christ. This truth about Him was not something that began when He was born of Mary, but rather when the mystery surrounding His existence was made known. 🤯 In other words, he was always human, but when he was made incarnate, He took on the "un-reserrected" body which each of us have in order to bring us the resurrection of our physical bodies.
The discussion of ch. 11 includes details of the origins of the rebellion of those angels who sought worship of themselves and the subsequent pagan entrapment of humanity.
A good explication and disambiguation of "communion" or the better term of eucharist.
Fr Stephen also explains what a soul is. it is not separate from our body. Without the body, a human is not a soul.
Includes a good explanation of how people end up rejecting the Bible and Christianity or how people do all sorts of gymnastics to prove their perception of the Bible. Both results are a result of not having a good understanding of how to read the Bible. Additionally, Fr Stephen gives pointers on how to read the Bible and highlights the elements that have led to today's modern, and thus mistaken method, of reading and interpreting the Bible.
Minute 20ish and on is an excellent exposition of the through line that connects the celebration of the Eucharist today to the temple practices of Judaism.
1.15.00 and beyond is excellent analysis of most of modern American understanding of Christianity and Church.
Minute 15: Another example of how one correctly and humbly pushes back on much of modern Biblical scholarship
Minute 30: conversation about Rebekah's motives. Yes, God's will is known, but, just like with Abraham and Sarah, taking matters into our own hands to accomplish His will is not what's called for.
Excellent exposition of the meaning of the word soul beginning around minute 6
Minute 20 or so: discussion re how being a Christian is knowing Christ, not primarily knowing things about him and the Bible, etc.
Contains an excellent and thorough explication of the origin of Pentecost as a celebration of the giving of the Torah. Highlights include clarification of the fact that what we see in pop culture re the "10 commandments" is just a very shallow and incomplete version of what God the Father (and God the Son?) gave to Moses on Mt. Sinai.
Pay attention to his comments re the how and why of becoming Orthodox (starting around min 30?). The gist is, it's not a "personal decision" as we moderns understand most of our life decisions.
Thank you father. Please keep Ethiopian Christians in your prayers.
amazing
if Isaiah is not prophecising about Christ - why do we read his prophecy before the nativity
