    St. Basil the Great's On the Holy Spirit was a great resource for me to begin to understand the Holy Trinity as I was coming from an Ex-Muslim background.

    I wish i could have at least his courage.

    Interestingly enough, the church I attend kind of keeps the bread tradition going by giving loaves of bread donated by a local grocery store after liturgy. I wondered why this was done, and apparently, it's a new thing I've learned thanks to this channel, fascinating!

  • @siddharthabanerjee6155
    @siddharthabanerjee6155 Před 6 měsíci +6

    Fascinating, I didn't know about his life! Would also love it if you made videos on early Christian theologians such as Tertullian and Origen, apart from the Church Fathers.

    • @ChristianEphraimson
      @ChristianEphraimson Před 6 měsíci +4

      Unfortunately Origen was anathematized so it's very unlikely there'll be a video about him.

      @NavelOrangeGazer Před 6 měsíci +1

      ​@@ChristianEphraimson Origen's platonizing was/is a serious cause of issues to the Church. In fact the original concept of a philokalia was created by St. Basil and St. Gregory of Nyssa separating the wheat from the chaff of his writings.

    I am not trying to comment too much on youtube but needed to say thank you so much! I feel this video and your video on St. Athanasius were just what I needed to hear. What saints like St. Paul, St. Athanasius, St. Basil, and St. Pope Kyrillos VI did for Christianity is so inspiring. Through the intercessions of the Holy Theotokos St. Mary, may the Holy Spirit continue transfiguring His Orthodox Christians.

    Telling what Basil did, encouraging others to broaden their minds, its good.
    Ill pull on a biblical verse where it says, "We are not unaware of the devices of the Devil". Talk to many ask about this, oh they know, they know. Some may. But, being aware rationalization is used to attack some, others fear, etc. We need to note, Jesus was talking to apostles if I recall. Where they knew. Today its more advanced.
