Thank you.
We’ll I sense biases however I give praise the clarity and research, and effort by the pastor
Pastor Guzik, I appreciate the extensive research you have invested in this series of lectures. Thank you. This is the most information I recall receiving about the contributions and challenges of the Monastic period. (PS: I also enjoy the parade of statuettes over David's left shoulder. 🤗)
You are very welcome. Thanks!
Ty again for another great teaching!! So interesting!!
Was the Monastic period the time when the Catholic Church started? Thank you for such an enlightening video.
Yes. A few hundred years later
Agreed with the comment on false spirituality. If I may add to this: God doesnt command us to become monks and/or especially celibate monks. God's direct commands include getting married and bearing children. If everyone became a monk or a nun then mankind would go extinct. That fact alone tells you that it's unnatural. Those who have no problem being celibate are not the norm. God created mankind to marry and bear children, along with that comes a drive to do so. And when you're dealing with something natural, then something uncommon has to happen to remove that drive from someone.
As for being godly and spiritual, it should be obvious that secluding oneself is not the key to godly living and spirituality. David was called a man after God's own heart and he spent most of his life surrounded by people. It's all about one's personal decision to do as the God of the Bibke wants them to do. That brings us closer to God, that causes God to draw near to us. Temptatios come and go regardless of where you are, as the monks reported; and thats because demons can travel all around the world.
