About the word 'Christian'

[@Patristix]

SORRY for not mentioning the tea! The first several episodes of Patristix were filmed before we launched the channel, and a few times we forgot the crucial details! Don't worry, once we get the next few online, we won't forget again! ☕

[@AaronPLehmann]

SO WHAT IS THE TEA? This aspect of the channel is like James the game design guy from Extra Credits. It makes me feel like we're friends to know some little personal detail, like what tea you like.

[@Patristix]

@@AaronPLehmann Honestly... I don't remember what I had that day. Tragic. So it was probably just regular old tea!

"Only pray that I may have power within and without, so that I may not only say it but also desire it; that I may not only be called a Christian, but also be found one." - St Ignatius of Antioch

[@Patristix]

Fantastic quote, thank you!

[@joshoastler6504]

So good Stephan. It makes you think about how watered down the term "Christian" is nowadays where it's a set of beliefs rather than the aspiration to actually be "little Christs". Love the videos, keep up the great work!

[@Patristix]

Thanks Josh!

[@jedrzejgasiorowski3058]

I pray that your channel becomes BIG on youtube within the Christian community and those curious of religious topics. Your content is great! At the moment of writing this comment you have 710 subscribers, 433 views, 36 comments and 63 likes. But don't you worry... just wait and watch these numbers steadily grow. I think I am not the only one here that feels that we are watching something very promising kick off. Keep up the great work!

[@Patristix]

Thank you for the kind words! Very glad you like them. Please do share the videos around. There's a lot more to come! Next episode is online tomorrow

[@Banthegreekman]

#FreeTheTea campaign lives on! Another week, another tea not consumed on video! 🤣 This video is amazing by the way. Thank you for making it!

[@Patristix]

😭 You're hilarious. Thanks Ban!

[@gideonsnowdon6913]

I love how you turned to asking the question are we living like christ.

[@Patristix]

Thanks! It's definitely the same question. Can't look at what it means without looking at WHO it means and what it means we should be doing! "Bearing the title of Christian is of no use to us unless it is accompanied by Christian deed" - St. Cyril of Jerusalem

[@reamus9102]

This was SUCH a good episode. Love it sooooo much. Intellectual, yet emotional. Heartwarming, yet heartbreaking. Inspirational, yet cautionary. Artistic, yet packed with information. So happy to be an OG subscriber to this beautiful thing you are creating.

[@Patristix]

Your comments are incredibly encouraging! Thank you for watching and supporting!

[@reamus9102]

@@Patristix Knowing that makes me want to continue watching, supporting, and commenting even more; what a cycle! Good luck on the future videos, and happy tea drinking! 🍵

[@d.aletadrawdy7584]

My father taught us the word "Christian" meant "Christ Like"; a Challenging aspiration ❣️🙏🌹

[@FatherAndTeacherTV]

I love this, Stephan! I need to remember: "Am I being a 'little Christ'?" Thank you.

[@Patristix]

Same here!

[@cozzwozzle]

This is the excellent mate. What a strong start to a channel. Keep it coming. ☦️

[@Patristix]

Cheers mate!

[@Clarkd87]

Honored to be here for the beginning of this. I see a bright future here. Excellent content, please keep it up.

[@Patristix]

Thanks for the encouragement!

Amazing video, not surprising anymore you're a great teacher. I was wondering if there is a way for me to help add subtitles to your video? I speak and Write Arabic and French perfectly, I would do it for free. Would love to see this series have an even bigger impact because it's truly amazing. God bless you and your brother

[@Patristix]

Thank you for the kind words! As for subtitles: that would obviously be very much appreciated! We'd love to reach more places! You speak English, AND French AND Arabic?! That's an impressive mix of different languages.

[@henridib7222]

@@Patristix yes I do, I'm originally Lebanese hence the Arabic, I moved to France 6 years ago which is where I am currently. I had to learn English because I wanted to learn more about my religion and most studies are done or translated to English and because I was bored and good movies are in English. So yea I speak the 3 languages fluently. And like I said I would do it for free, consider it my donation to the cause.

[@Patristix]

@@henridib7222 Well any subtitles would be greatly appreciated for sure! Our email is [e-mail]

[@henridib7222]

@@Patristix I've sent the email if you're interested I would love to help

[@henridib7222]

@@Patristix since you don't like checking your emails that much and who would say no to 1 more comment? I sent you the French translation for now just to make sure the whole thing works.

[@kylepetruzziello3321]

Great video. The story of Theopholus reminds me of the story of Victorinus in St. Augustine’s Confessions. What an inspiring story.

[@anucasimeria7998]

Thank you so much for everything. God help us to grow in faith and be worthy of the name we have. God bless all of us❤

[@parlagigaspar]

It was really a pleasure to watch this one as well - thanks, guys! :-)

[@Patristix]

Köszönöm!

Excellent job 👍 God bless you

[@theguyver4934]

Just like biblical and historical evidence proves that jesus and his apostles were vegatarians biblical and historical evidence also proves that the trinity, atonement, original sin and hell are very late misinterpretations and are not supported by the early creed hence its not a part of Christianity I pray that Allah swt revives Christianity both inside and out preserves and protects it and makes its massage be witnessed by all people but at the right moment, place and time The secred text of the Bible says ye shall know them by their fruits So too that I say to my christian brothers and sisters be fruitful and multiply Best regards from a Muslim ( line of ismail )

[@permanenceaesthetic6545]

Excellent video, and an excellent channel! I’m glad to have stumbled across it prior to it reaching the 1K subscriber mark. Hopefully I don’t stoke any prideful thoughts in you when I say this, but your channel is going to go big! I know I’m not the first to say so, but the content, quality, and sheer production value in what you’re doing here is unparalleled (specifically amongst the Orthodox Sphere of the Internet). May God bless you, and keep you! In regards to the video itself, I think it best to follow in the footsteps of the martyrs. We must be bold in our faith! “If you think I will swear by the genius of Caesar, then you don’t know who I am. Hear me clearly: I am a Christian.” - St. Polycarp to the Roman Proconsul Statius Quadratus on the occasion of his martyrdom, AD 167.

[@Patristix]

Thanks for the kind words! We're enjoying making them and have plenty more to come. Thanks for subscribing!

[@ericcollins6231]

Good video. I was literally checking your page mere moments before this upload hoping there was another one. Also, you didn’t say; What kind of tea were you drinking?

[@Patristix]

Ah yes! I need to put a disclaimer on this one! I forgot to say what I was drinking! Apologies ☕

[@WilliamDusing]

Great video! Thanks!

[@WhiteSox-s3u]

Great Video ! A tad more lighting ( perhaps ) .... !

[@stuckmannen3876]

Solid choice of music !

[@TheWaywardpilgrim]

but a bit too loud perhaps

[@hopepetipren7126]

Hi Stephan, I am enjoying your videos very much! Thank you. Could you tell me a little about yourself? Where are you from? Where did you study? What are your degrees? What chur church do you go to? I like to know about the teacher to run it by my priest. 🙂

[@stuckmannen3876]

Could you make a video about the catacombs? :)

[@irene1234]

Good food for thought.

[@Patristix]

Sorry there was not also tea for thought. Thanks for watching!

Christ = Anointed Christian = Like unto the Anointed The Sign of The Cross = a Retracing of the Anointment given when we enter The Church

[@Anonimni7]

💯.

[@hilaengel]

Whose is the beautiful soundtrack of this video?

[@nicoleela2617]

As muslim said.. the TERM CHRISTIAN HAS CAME FROM UNBELIEVERS and this UNBELIEVERS NOT CHRIST GAVE A TERM for the Disciples.. the term CHRISTIAN in ACTS 11.26 HAS NEVER MENTIONED THAT THE UNBELIEVERS CALLED THE DISCIPLES CHRISTIANS.. I think it is the disciples named Christian for themselves and not from UNBELIVERS.. as what Peter wrote.. "suffer as Christian"
