I'm an atheist just trying to get a better understanding of faith by talking openly with people of faith in my home life and a little online. May I just say that this channel, and you yourself Stephan, are very insightful and delightful. Thank you for the great video.

Not saying this is you, but it is so sad often times, often with catholics, that people born in religious families who once had faith say the people in that family are the reason they have no faith, or the church is the reason they have no faith. Hazing, rumors, favoritism, judgment etc seem to be the causes of those people forsaking their faith because of the PEOPLE. Not everyone in church is a Christian. Not every Christian is going to heaven. EVERY Christian is a sinner. Now it is a entirely different situation if your household or church has legitimate grievances toward you behavior and 1st tries to help and change you but if you don't then you are cast out. That is entirely different then what I am talking about. (Ex. Homosexuality, criminality, or you straight up practice a different religion ex. Paganism etc.)

​@@angelostrifonos9507i wasn't planning to answer you because i didn't have a concise answer to give you and i couldn't take the time to type much.. I had wanted to say something like "how could it not be?"..The evidence, the teachings, the history, the saints, the martyrs all point to it.. But a younger than i friend just started texting me about how he felt about 20 years ago when he walked into our church after being invited to come and he knew before long that it was what he had been searching (note the word 'searching') for all his life.. I told him i knew what he meant and we must talk more fully at sometime.. There are many stories such as that at our church alone. Over and over we see those who comment on sites such as this one saying similar things.. They don't say it lightly or haphazardly.. Every one of them has been searching for a while. They know the territory out there The full range of 'options' , and then they realize to their surprise that it has narrowed to one choice...only one option...and they rejoice to have finally found it. CHRIST IS RISEN! ☦💝📿💝☦

You took my words out of my mouth. I have ner heard of Montanism (or maybe I did when I was a student?), but it sounds like the grandfather of Pentecostalism to me.

The difference between Heresy and Heterodoxy was helpful. Also, I'd never heard of Montanism before. I'm looking forward to the episode on the Theotokos as you mentioned. That tea does indeed sound strange. God Bless you all. ☦

Amazing videos.. I recommend your Chanel to all the catechumens and the parishioners in my Church. Please keep the videos coming .. such a blessing for all of us 🙏🏼🕊☦️

I like how Dr Constantinou say how there’s an element of logic in all heresies, otherwise people wouldn’t follow them. That’s one of the reasons for the importance of apostolic teaching expounded upon by the church fathers, people much better placed to reveal divine truth than most.

This channel is going places, great quality! Just stumbled on it on my recommendation, had me watching even as a non-believer. The history element to it is great, keep it up!

Excellent video. Informative, succinct, well-produced. We need more Orthodox content like this.

I continue to appreciate the work being done with this channel. ☦

This is great. Really helpful channel for someone I know who is getting exposed to Orthodoxy

Fantastic video. Thank you for explaining and addressing this. Can't wait for the next one. Thanks. Bye.

Beautiful work thank you all for making these videos! Quick question, would you mind putting all of these videos in a playlist on your channel id like to be able to send the whole series to people. Thanks again for all of the amazing work, I cant wait to see many many more of these! ❤

I first knew the word Heresy from the word "Herehe(heh-reh-heh)" which I knew from José Rizal's books (because my country, the Philippines, is a Spanish Colony). Its really funny to see this word be used in humour nowadays, especially in Warhammer 40,000...where theocratic satire is the target.

Doubts are good things if we bring them to Christ. Check out our video on "Thomas Sunday" for a bit about doubt. We have lots of videos on the channel that might help you. Also if you check in the descriptions you will find links to more resources that can help answer questions. Of course keep praying, and if you can, chat with a helpful priest about where you are at and the kinds of doubts you're having. Ask questions. May God be with you!

I think your timeline is a bit off. Is the Didache not referenced in Acts 2:42?
