"Our society is not a community radiant with the love of Christ, but a dangerous network of domination and manipulation in which we can easily get entangled and lose our soul" That's so true and rather sad to realise how far we are from bringing God's kingdom down to earth. If only we could all agree on what we believed in and work to uplifting and enriching other's lives. We have lost our way but I stay optimistic and live in hope knowing that he oversees all of creation and that slowly but surely, we are growing and getting better.

A wondrous, enlightening account x

[@guspapadopoulos945]

Great voice. Nevertheless it should be pointed out that we know all about this great saint as a result of the writings of an early orthodox saint by the name of Athanasios. Saint Athanasios was fighting against the Aryans who opposed the divinity of Christ. He was eventually hunted down and banished by Constantine; he thus sought the advice of saint Anthony who was his spiritual father. Let's also not forget the constant torment Saint Anthony faced with the many demons who were relentless in their task of torturing Anthony with constant temptations. He practiced a form of total silence in his seclusion called '' Esexia'' which in Greek means total silence. Other monks came to him constantly, seeking advice on being a recluse in the wilderness. His advice was always do the cross, fast and love one another. My favorite saying from this saint was upon doing battles with demons he addressed them by saying '' I'm Anthony, nothing absolutely nothing will separate me from the love of God''.

The Aryans rejected the "3 Gods in one" theology of the trinity.

[@fissehabezza8427]

@@vaspers Aryans denied the Son of God, anyone who doesn't have the Son doesn't have the Father either, anyone ho has the Son has the Father too, 1 John 2:23

[@vaspers]

Aryans denied that God is a committee of 3 different persons. They called Jesus the Son of God, not God the Son. "Trinity" and "triune" and ""God in 3 persons" is not in the Bible.

[@fissehabezza8427]

@@vaspers if you only follow the letters, they’re deadly, as the apostle said the letter kills but the spirit gives life. So, lets see the spiritual meaning of what the bible says about the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ with the Father and Holy spirit Matthew 28:19 , Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me (Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ says). Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age." The one God eternally exists in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; and that these three are one God, co-equal and co-eternal, having precisely the same nature and attributes, and worthy of precisely the same worship, confidence, and obedience. Matthew 3:16, 17; Matthew 28:19, 20; Mark 12:29; John 1:14; Acts 5:3, 4; II Corinthians 13:14."

[@grantsmythe8625]

What Life really boils down to is your worldview: will your worldview be the one the narrator speaks of, i.e., living by a myriad of never-examined social compulsions or making the decision to jump across the stream to another world and another view, to another worldview: the Spiritual Worldview where you grow and change and grow and change step by step, week by week, mile by mile until you are no longer the same person but a different person living by and for the Spirit.

[@markheneghan3804]

Our old ways need to die to ourselves & take on face of Christ.

[@brendanryan5437]

How do we deal with the child rapist and murderers etc ,with this philosophy ,I'm asking this in humility .I personally need desperately to try and live more like St. ANTHONY.
