i think the reason these teachings resonate so well with me is because i am a christian and stoicism is one of the few places I go where the things taught align with the things i believe. I truly think that stoicism is a higher way of living, especially when paired with christianity.

The parallels between Stoicism and Christianity are profound. The teachings of love, inner peace, and fellowship almost mirror one another.

Stoicism predates greatly. If anything Christianity took much from Stoicism

I was so excited to see this video because as a lifelong Christian but latecomer to Stoicism who is now using both paradigms, I naturally started comparing and contrasting these two organized systems of ethical thought and ways for living. I will watch it multiple times. It is fascinating historically and deeply meaningfully spiritually for me. Thank you for making your videos.

You are Jesus is God in the flesh

Stoicism - makes sense - you should control your emotions, which is similar to Christianity, but stoic people are calm on no good grounds, why be calm when you believe you live in a godless life? Is it because of the belief in yourself that calms you? That seems like idolatry in the Christian view, although there are similarities, the difference is too huge to ignore.

For me, I sense that as Jesus prayers be upon him conveys and delivers God's orders to me and for me to follow. Stoisisim and Stoics provide me with the know how to at fist know myself to become a better person. So then afterwords, I can constantly rationalize and choose my religious undertaking as what I am all about unaffected by culture, tridition, or any unmeaningfull element.

I believe some aspects of stoicism are great and can be applied to everyday life in some ways ,however it seems stoicism encourages one to be put more emphasis on trusting of themselves instead of the all powerful yahweh and his son yeshua .. i believe that stoicism for a christian is good only up to a certain point before it becomes idolatry of one self and becoming only a believer of yourself . I have mixed feelings on how stoicism can work on a christian since many christians already seem to exhibit some stoic values without knowing the stoic works .. but i don’t think its foolish to study the stoic concepts be careful how you go about it though ..

If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them.

Considering there is a straight line from the enlightenment to the communist gulags, I would say that theory as been tried and found wanting. religion and philosophy overlap very closely too.

Nice analysis. I wonder if Jesus can be consider as somethig that I would described as "transendented stoic sage". Any ideas?

A confusing philosophy, yet well-presented.

The video leave out much considering how much stoicism predates Christianity. The beginning of this video is designed so it seems they came about at the same time.

Stoicism is good as long as it does not contradicts Christianity 👍

Stoicism existed for 3 centuries before Christ's birth .....

Christianity is behavior and mindfulness. Both are how and what you are displaying and how you think the same which is what the Bible teaches through scriptures. Jesus is the focus. The principles are the same.

Jesus was not a philosopher. Also, not sure how you can compare these 2 things. Stoicism is ideas of how a mere human believes is the best way to live and its not a religion. Christianity is truth spoken by an all powerful God. You cannot compare Gods words to the words of a human.

I think it's a great video. Stoicism is more than a code of behavior. It is a belief. Just like religion.

Everything in life is because of a belief. Every time we sit in a chair, we have belief its going to support us and not collapse. So using your logic, believing in that chair supporting us would be like a religion? Religion has a God people worship. There is nothing about stoicism to worship, just advice from humans just like us.

I also I was raised Roman Catholic I also couldn't figure out why the priest could turn the body and blood of Christ which was symbolic in the Bible into them actually believing that they can turn the body and blood into that they transformed it into the real body and blood of Christ I'm not a cannibal.

Calendar mistake. It is pretty. much proven and accepted that Jesus was born around what the modern world refer to as "4 B.C." Oh, it is pretty much accepted by scholars that He was born in the springtime too . . . not on December 25th.

Aristotle deep down is a stoic. Aquinas, Augustin and other heavy hits of christendom copied much from both Plato and Aristotle. Similarities are striking. Christianity and stoicism which predate? One started in AD the other BC. Zeno must be laughing at some of us.

Stoicism is not connected to Christianity. Although Stoicism refers to gods, it is a philosophical doctrine without religion. Q: What do Stoics believe? Stoicism holds that we can only rely on our responses to outside events, while the events themselves we cannot control.

​@kingdavid9265 I'm not saying you're wrong, but Psalm 46:10 sounds close to stoicism. "Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." Psalm 46:10. Difference is, you aren't relying on yourself, but God, in the proper responses to various circumstances.

One, Marcus Aurelius did not persecute early Christians, to our knowledge. Second, I consider him to be the most noble of all pagans, for he was no less than calm in temperament, controlled in thought and action, virtuous in behaviour, and considerate and tactful in planning. His father in law, Antoninus, was a peaceful man, his son, clinically insane, And don't we commend his marriage? If only I could have a marriage like Marcus Aurelius and Faustina. She was beautiful, loyal, sweet, kind.. As long as I live, may I personally strive for 3 things: glorifying God Yahweh by thought and action, living a life of humility and kindness to my fellow man, and givin my wife the best of me Idc how long i have to search for her on this earth.. she is worth more than gold bars and the best jade.. she's 1 in a million holmes.. idc I'm not stopping this sh I will never give up. Death will take me before that happens. She'll match energy too. God, nation, and the woman. This is the meaning of life. Terra Unitas.
