This video is definitely helpful John! Thank you!🙏 I think that the sun’s just rising on my face to face embrace with Our Father in Heaven 🌄🌅 Stage 1 took me about twenty years 🤣 Stages 2,3 & 4 have happened in the last year mercifully! 😅
Hello 😊 I'm reading The Kindom, the power & the glory by Tim Alberta. There is a chapter about you & I was touched by your beliefs & loyalty to God. You talk about Jesus in the context of his kingdom 🙏. It's real, so thank you❤. Not about politics conspiracy nonsense & lies.
Keep it up John! Great to hear people actively talking about this. As a French resident, many of his comments struck true regarding our adopted country.
TBH, I am torn about the last few minutes of this conversation. Up until the conversation turned into a political rant on guns and those who own them I was completely on board. I do agree that there is a problem in many Christians’ way of thinking about vengeance, or even self-defense. But, I have never seen guns as the problem. To me they are a tool like any other. It is, as you rightly pointed out, when we make gods of things that they become a problem. That might not be as prevalent as the two of you seem to think when it comes to guns. There are so many other ‘gods’ that get a pass that cause much more damage than guns. Three that immediately come to mind are food, alcohol, and pornography. Think of the young minds being rewired through the consumption of porn. Way bigger than guns. Those who face early death through overconsumption of food. Way, way bigger than guns. Alcohol kills three times the number of people each year in America than do guns. That statistic, of course, does not even begin to take into account the collateral damage from alcohol. All I’m suggesting is that, if you’re going to get political, perhaps you could bring to light some issues that are actually killing and damaging us at a much higher rate than the misuse of firearms. End rant. Love you, brother, and in general I hink you are doing a good and necessary work.
Because the Orthodox Church split with the Roman Catholic Church in 1054, while the Protestant Reformation kickstarted in 1517. There were already nearly 500 years of difference between the branches of Christianity. More importantly, the Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church have different understandings of tradition and traditionalism.
@@JohnChaffeeTalks this still doesn’t really explain to me why there isn’t a sect of believers who split off from the Orthodox Church becoming reformed like Protestants. We just have Orthodox and Catholics splitting up and then Protestants splitting off from the Catholics. If a reformation could happen within the Catholic Church, why didn’t one happen within the Orthodox? Seems strange to me.
Is mystic always a good thing? I guess I may not know the definition Religion. A definition I heard a long time ago and has stuck with me is, man's idea on how to be right with God. Of course in my mind man of his own self has no way in coming up with a way to be right with God ......religion Thanks for bringing up topics to come face to face with as who are we really

DBH also said that America is the place where Christianity came to die, or words to that effect.
My question is, if Protestants are essentially reformed Catholics, then why aren’t there any reformed Orthodox?

St Jimmy Carter
I know, right?
Oh please, God forbid. There's no virtue in self absorbed incompetence. I survived the Carter years. It was a brutal time for the poor.
