Be the Bee # 178 | Pointing the Way to Christ (and a Goodbye from Steve)
“Let us learn at last to be Christians!” (St John Chrysostom)
What this Episode is About:
We've spent the last two episodes exploring how the internet shifts our attention from Christ and makes it harder than ever to be holy. In this episode, we're going to say goodbye by pointing to three things that need to shape the future of our homes and communities.
We need to encounter Christ, embody the Church, and engage the world in His name.
Writers: Steven Christoforou, Christian Gonzalez, Alexandros Pandazis

Be the Bee # 177 | How the Internet is Hiding the Way to Holiness

"One is holy, one is Lord, Jesus Christ, to the glory of God the Father. Amen.” What this Episode is About: We're called to be holy as God is holy. And we do this by participating in God’s efforts to redeem the world and bring it into the eternal life of the Holy Trinity. St Maximos the Confessor identifies 5 Divisions we need to overcome along the way. But what if the internet has created a 6t...

    This is why I'm skeptical of Evangelicalism.. Too much of the focus is on the " Christian" and not Christ We tend to hear people boasting about Their moment, rather than Jesus. I'm not saying all of them are self righteous and egocentric.. Too much of the focus seems to be on Them and not so much on Christ.

    I don’t know if it really matters what religion people are in. As long as we know Jesus and accept him as our lord and savior. Something similar happened to me and I wasn’t claiming any religion I just dedicated time to my savior. When my mom was dying. I was praying to God as well to let me know she was going to be in heaven, that everything was going to be fine and he answered. A couple of weeks before she passed me and my brother saw an angel in the sky and then I knew it was ok to let her go. It’s amazing how God answers when you open your heart and cry to him in desperation. All glory to the most high Jesus Christ. ❤️

    You have taken God and cut him up into three pieces and now you want us to believe he is one? No he was one before you cut him up now he is three.. John 1:18 "No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known." Who is HIM the word. Read John 1:18 again No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made THE WORD known. The word is not Jesus it is the WORD OF THE FATHER MADE KNOWN.

  • @kevinsusnar7070
    @kevinsusnar7070 4 місяці тому

    Thank you for the video and the explanation of this important event. I lived the first half of my life all for myself and made a debauchery out of my life and I lost everything and everyone and I gave the rest away. Now am convinced that without the Master my life isn’t worth living because nothing ever works out. I now am willing to give my last half of my life to God and serve him until the race is over. I don’t think God needs me for any important role. Am pretty much useless and a nobody in the eyes of the world but I sure do need God! Whatever he wants me to do, whatever town he wants me to move to. Whatever the sacrifice, am willing and I hope able. Where else is there to go? Who else has the words of eternal life? “Lead the Way Master and like St. Matthew, I will leave my tax collectors booth and follow Thee wherever Thou goes.” Lead on.

    Here is the truth. Information can't be kept hidden no more. People are getting educated at school and online. The more educated people get, the more they realize that the bible is one big fat lie. That's all it is. And all the mess of the church ain't helping christianity neither.

    I could give 100 reasons why I am NOT an 'orthodox' Christian! Though I recognise there are many loverly people who are 'orthodox' ( Catholic & protestant). My reason? Jesus gave the rule; "The way to identify a tree or a person is by the kind of fruit produced" Matt 7:20, Fruit 1; A willingness to allow Greek Philosophy to influence the 'church Fathers'. 2. To allow Emperor Constantine a murderer & warmonger to control the establishing of the 'orthodox church'. 3. The disensions between Athanasius & Arius & their argueing. ( Both were excommunicated, Athanasius 5 times!) ramifications were centuries long! 4. Emporer Theodosius in 381 formulating 'othodox' doctrine with bishops required to attend in 381ad ( council of Constantinople) Theodosius accused of the Massacre in Thessolocina yet influenced church organisation. 5. Popes personally heading armies slaughtering unbelievers! ( Julius 11 ) 6. The Spanish inquisition during which anyone denying any aspect of the 'orthodox' faith, cruelly tortured & executed! 7. 'Orthodox' support in world war 1 & 2 especially in Nazi Germany where prayers were said in all 'orthodox' churchs "For our Furher". 8. Same sex marraiges performed by ordained priests. Thus the FRUITS are disgusting! Why are so many athiests? History gives you the answer! Thats why I am NOT an 'orthodox' believer but just a 'Christian'.

    False gospel. God calls all men everywhere to repent of their sins and believe the gospel. Without the knowledge of sin, one cannot see the need of the cross. This “I don’t wanna offend people” is chocolate covered poison.
