Christianity is not transactional, it's participative.
my priest teaches us that the hypostasis of God is relational. that this is the fundamental reality. i sort of understand but only barely, and only in an intellectual way. …to underscore what youre saying.
@@areyoutheregoditsmedave I'm right there with you. I don't think I've even begun to scratch the surface on this
It's a very interesting feeling when you've been thinking on and talking about an idea for so long and someone comes along and catches the whole thing in one sentence.
Well done sir,
Thank you.
@@chadmedia8432 I am humbled by such a compliment. Thank you. But I tell you honestly that it has been by listening to Mr. Pageau's perspective that I have gotten the slightest inkling of what this means. I'm still unsure of how to actually live it out. I have vague inklings, but it hasn't become concrete for me
@@HrvojeSLhave you tried asking God?
This is where confession comes in. Confession/repentance/atonement is a practice /method for us so we can move on. We are humans, In the Bible, we are called creatures, and we have been given these processes to develop our connection with God.
Yes. Amen. Once you see it, it changes everything... We cant ever have a double measure. It is just not possible to condemn something in others without also condemining yourself. The pattern through which you view reality becomes what you participate in and how reality appears to you. The capacity to see Good in others IS participating in Christ yourself and allows Love to enter into the world. He Is saying it all along. Love thy neighbour as yourself. Dont judge lest ye be judged. The measure you use will be used also on you. Forgive us as we forgive. etc etc
That is how our attention is to be ordered♡ Thank God for this Lovely conversation.
Socrates went woke and now rests in His story, in Christ.
This Chris guy is brilliant.
Christ, with me, Christ with me

We give grace to others because we understand, in some small way, the incredible grace extended to us by God.
And it's different from secular 'goodness' since it fulfills both parts of Jesus' summary of the Ten Commandments.
Anyone is normally capable of fulfilling the commandment to love others, but only believers in Christ do things that involve love toward God.
And with such a small seed of faith - which is what we have when we give grace to others - God can move mountains. And then, it's a positive feedback loop of grace upon grace.
The idea that these ancient philosophers were not *grounded in a religios ethic* is a modern delusion brought on by it's obsessive compulsion to secularize everything.
"Philosophy is the hand maid of religion." You can't, despite how hard you try, ever derive the religious ethic from philosophy. Philosophy always comes second.
Plato has been absolutely _essential_ to me personally, but by no means _primary._
@@someotherguy43 lol, k dude
Very well stated. I think that is the core issue, there is a huge misunderstanding of how the ancients were interacting with the project of philosophy.
There has been an ongoing systematic effort to misunderstand and deconstruct the ancient worldview.
@@LKRaider I think that effort is best called 'all the time'.
What a wonderful conversation!
Ephesians 4:7
But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.
Love it... these discussions are great food for the mind and soul
Wow this just answered so many of my questions…
Guilt is very hard to get rid of. I’ve had years of personal struggle forgiving myself for sins and weakness. Lord have mercy
Perhaps if you didn’t look at it so much as guilt as regret you begin to see through it.
Jesus told us to repent and sin no more. I think the acceptance that we are sinners alleviates that guilt, too. Go to confession, repent and strive to sin no more by praying for strength to overcome our weaknesses. If we fail, which we will, there is the Sacrament of confession.
That’s the brilliant thing though, you don’t have to forgive yourself, you have already been forgiven by the grace of God. We are all guilty and your unwillingness to “forgive” yourself is merely the basis for our need for Christ: we are all sinners in need of forgiveness. Focus on your gratitude, we don’t earn extra points for feeling bad when Jesus already said “it is finished”
After Confession which works to heal the soul, plenary indulgences repair (spiritually) all the wrong we've done, and you can gain one for yourself or for a soul in Purgatory every day.
In addition, frequent reception of the Eucharist heals us spiritually (also perhaps good spiritual direction). I think that offering up any current sufferings in union with Jesus, along with offering up fasting, mortification, & good works, might help. I struggle with the same thing FYI, and am going to try these ideas. God bless you and yours.
Beautiful. Thank you.
Yes ✋
Helpful. Thank you.
I was taught and believe this involves the relationship WE the Body of Christ have with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is OUR Comforter, OUR Guide…The Inherent Representative of Christ. Christ is now With The Father, where The Son should be. Since Christ shed His Blood for ALL, paying the price for all of OUR iniquities, OUR imperfections, RISING UP FROM THE GRAVE…Christ literally said He would send The Holy Spirit to BE WITH US. Ask yourself what does this truly mean to you. Ask the students at Asbury. Seek, Knock, Ask…Then Believe…Then Believe Some More…And Yet Again More…Not The End…But The Beginning ❤

I loved the click baitish title
😮🤯😍👍🏻
Being born again….
Aka baptism
Why do we celebrate Santa and the birth of Christ on the same day?🤔
(Maybe it’s best if we leave the Santa stuff to the parents…parents are teachers, teachers are not necessarily parents.)
“Black Country Woman” - Led Zeppelin
If then teachers birth ideas are they not parents in some sense?
@@gregorymoats4007 Maybe..in the sense that it’s the vagina what births the child…but, if you talk to mom (or, “the wife”) like that, you might find out she’s not as forgiving as I am.
Santa Claus... Saint Nicolaus....
Bringing present. Jesus borm.....
3 kings bringing presents to Jesus birth. And Jesus himself being a present to the world.
The analogys are pretty.
Let's see: Plato & Socrates are dead---and Jesus is alive. Enough said for now...
They’re bodies might be dead, yet…
Hey! Another John Brown!
