I am a Christian who sees the parallels with Stoicism. I actively read the stoic philosophers like Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus. The pursuit of wisdom is why I came back to Christ in the first place. Praise the Lord.

Jesus Christ Is Lord ✝️☦️

I love Jesus. He’s everything to me

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” proverbs 9:10

God used Stoicism to lead me back to rediscover Jesus who is the logos ☦️. Glory to God.

Christ's degree of wisdom will forever be impeccable.

To follow Jesus is to follow perfection, because Jesus was perfect. Jesus is God incarnate, a manifestation of absolute and unequivocal perfection beyond the material world. Glory be to Christ and may he save those who have yet to witness his glory❤

"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one goes to the Father except through Me." -John 14:6

To be Christian, you must understand discipline. They both go hand in hand. Being physically strong and mentally strong shows how well you maintain your own personal temple of God.

We Love because God first Loved us! Jesus Christ our Savior ❤

I never comment on youtube videos, but it would be utterly shameful to not point out how well constructed and thought provoking this video is. I take my hat off to you brother. What an amazing upload. Keep it up.

This is my favorite so far. I am not religious but I find peace in Jesus Christ as well as Marcus Aurelius's teachings.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:5-7

13:43 I have to point out that "Love your neighbor as yourself" is the second greatest commandment, according to Jesus in Mark 12:31. The first is this: *"Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, with all of your soul, with all of your mind, and with all of your strength."*

This connection is very important to my faith. I am a Christian however I have gravitated towards stoicism very naturally, now I know why… thank you for this clarity!

Well done! In Christianity we also speak of not giving in to the passions, replacing the 7 sins(pride, greed, lust, anger, gluttony, envy and sloth) with 7 capital virtues (humility, liberality, chastity, mildness, temperance, happiness and diligence). Christ is the logos! Dare me ☦

“A real man doesn’t give way to anger, such a person has strength, courage, and endurance-unlike the angry and complaining. The nearer a man comes to a calm mind, the closer he is to strength.” - Marcus Aurelius

I was lifting while hearing this. The part when "M. Aurelius" converses with "Jesus " and greets him by saying, "Master of Galilee. " That broke me. I felt that deeply for some reason. Glory be to God, forever Christus Rex Noster, ora pro nobis.

I am not a church goer, but these types of programs comparing stoicism with the teachings of christ, are fascinating. I never would have thought to connect the two.

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this. - Isaiah 9:6-7

Considering that God is omnipotent it's safe to say that the Stoic way of thinking was God inspired just as Abraham, Moses and the rest of the prophets of the old testament. It's especially important that we all acknowledge that Jesus has always been there as well, one with God working and creating our world and we His creature's. Everything comes from one source. Unfortunately even evil although it was never God's will. It was by pride and jealously and free will.

Glory to Jesus. Life is meaningless without Him. In order to live the right way we must turn to Him, deny ourselves, and pick up our cross. Stoicism is good, but we must know that discipline is so much better when you're walking with God.

Stoic : meaning (Start Thinking On Inner Christ) in you 🙏🏾

Jesus is my greatest mentor ❤

God is the ultimate Stoic. From Him we’ve been blessed with understanding and knowledge and wisdom and love etc. God made us after His own image, how awesome is that!? He has so much love for us and concern that He send His own sun to guid us, to rescue us, to show us the way. God is the best for all of us.

All Christian should be stoic and all Stoics should be Christian

indeed jesus shows stoicism enduring insult, pain ,suffering from his own people but yet He showed strength and love for humanity and teach do not do evil unto evil yet do good

I am fairly new to my faith in Christ, only started this journey about 8 years ago. I am every new to the stoic philosophy and find it surreal that only about 2 weeks ago I began to notice the similarities of the two philosophies. I actually began a search on “a stoic christian” and this video crosses my feed this morning. This is probably the most thought provoking video or lesson I have watched in a very long time. I am hoping for and looking forward to more. “Dare me”

Logic and reason is a necessity to accept Jesus Christ as Lord. "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." Bible ( Proverbs 4:7)

Christianity and Stoicism, in that order, are all a man needs to make it through the turmoil of this world with his spirit intact.

Lord bless you, everyone watching this video, and everyone else in this wonderful world Dare me

I been praying and asking for God to give a wisdom. I asked him to send anything my way books, videos, people that can guide me and teach me how to stay calm and be more in control of my mind and body. I don’t think it’s just a coincidence that I watched this video and stoic philosophy keeps coming up over and over again. I’m excited to learn more and combine both of the teachings God is great!

I pray as many eyes too see watch this and just as a pebble in a pond creates curiosity wisdom and the search for truth within serenity grace and to know the truth will set you free, aswell as conquering oneself and he's ego, to leave lower Egypt and find the narrow and difficult path to the Kingdom ♥️🙏😇

This was a very valuable program. Thank you. Jesus knew how to respond to diverse populations of people: when to walk away, when to be hidden, when to be social. He knew when to speak and when to remain silent and when to question, debate, and when to weep. He conducted Himself well and deeply loved. I often wondered how He spent His growing years and adult years up until the time we hear of Him. I believe He educated Himself by not only His Heavenly Fathers Words and Inspirations, but by Philosophers and Great and varied minds of His times. He retained what to Him was truth and discarded from men what was sensible or beneficial. He had to know people to understand them and His Life was deeply intense and accelerated for His time for Ministry was but three years. Thank you. ❤

God is in stoicism for the stoic Christians to learn from listening.

Yahweh ❤Yeshua❤

There IS such thing as a universal truth. And all universal truths will eventually point you in the direction of God, and His son Christ Jesus. Amen.

Your deliverance on Stoicism never ceases to captivate me and assist me on my journey to inner peace. Thank you for your contribution to society. You have my unrelenting respect and loyalty ❤.

"In the beginning was the Word [logos], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of mankind. And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not grasp it." St. John 1:1-5

God Bless you mate, It’s been a pleasure both intellectually and mentally to see your video. Indeed, estoicism provides great wisdom in life, which God has given as a threshold between Him and us, thank you! 🔥

Blessings to my dear brother and thank you for your time and in addressing these very excellent teachings of Jesus Christ I am a firm believer of Jesus Christ and in these times of darkness and chaos I truly need to encourage myself by listening to Gods voice through his servant and I pray that you will continue to bless people for your time of teaching Thanks 🙏 and God Bless

Great video. Both are expressions of the God of Truth. "if you abide in my words, you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free". Ironic that our culture today has dropped the first part of His statement.

To question god is where you are not wrong, but to doubt him is when you fail.

God bless everyone. Christ purify everyone. Just as the Bible says; ALL will be saved and united in our Father's creation.

All glory Jesus

After studying the life of Jesus and the Stoics, I concluded a long time ago that Jesus was indeed what we would call “Stoic”

8:06 Let us be clear and not partly cloudy... Jesus is THE way THE truth and THE light. Without Him was nothing made, that was made. Including the Stoic. He's incomparable... He is not equal to none. 👑👑👑

Stoicism I believe is the closest man has come in attaining divine truth. Jesus is that truth made manifest revealed to mankind. He isn't just partly stoic; he is that and more. I am sure the stoic philosophers would have rejoiced had they come to know Jesus.

I just discovered this video this morning. It really helped me with something I've been struggling with... the whole logic and reason side of stoic philosophy versus my faith... Well it wasn't necessarily my faith that was struggling but more so me questioning whether or not I should really be delving into stoic philosophy like I am.

Jesus Christ is the way to the father, but I love how much Stoicism is helping me understand the human mind and how to over come struggles so on. Above all is the word and I love how similar this is to yhe teachings of thr Son of God yhe man Christ Jesus.

Excellent essay. I have a great appreciation for stoicism’s practical application in one’s life and as a Christian I apply stoicism principles daily.

Stoicism+Christianity= Better and peaceful life

He is The Logos we seek to get in touch with.

The love, respect and positivity in the comment section is truly a breath of fresh air. I am grateful to your kind hearts. May God bless each and everyone of you abundantly.

I also posted this reply in your recent question asking whether Jesus was (possibly) a stoic, and if Christianity and Stoicism are similar. I thought I'd share it here to: In general, humans are more similar than we are different. Because of this, I think it becomes easy to draw similarities from any two things; if you cherry pick information. Though, I think that Stoicism and Christianity are fundamentally different. Christianity believes in, what they claim, is a certified and true higher power (God), that commands them to live their life a certain way, or else suffer an eternity in suffering (their perceived hell). Christianity also removes a lot of the "search for life's meaning", as it claims to know the ultimate meaning: Believe in God, and serve him. Stoicism is about deeper levels of introspection and understanding of ourselves, our environment, and our ephemeral existence. And through using this information, and self-reflection, creating a greater understanding of how to live a more valuable, productive, and meaningful life. Stoicism doesn't claim to know the answers to life. It just creates a pathway to ask questions, learn, and hopefully grow. Now, I imagine people could try to cherry pick what I've said and try to draw similarities between Christianity and Stoicism, to better justify their own beliefs, but once again, fundamentally, at their core, Stoicism and Christianity are very different. - edit - As for whether a man named Jesus could be considered a Stoic? I think that's irrelevant. Once again, anyone could cherry pick instances of what Jesus supposedly did and perform their own mental gymnastics to create an idea of a "Stoic Jesus", in their mind. But more importantly, what would it matter? I'm sure that many people throughout history, from bakers to famous generals, have all, at some point of their lives, undertaken stoic practises and beliefs; even without calling it "Stoicism". To them, they were just living their lives. So, perhaps a man called Jesus did things that might align with Stoicism, at times, but that wouldn't make him a stoic. I'd also like to point out that people often look for information to reinforce their own beliefs. It makes them feel more resolute in their ideologies. So, I'd imagine many would like to try and make connections between their religion's martyrs and prophets, and Stoicism, to manufacture increased confidence in their own beliefs.

Possibly the best most well rounded video I’ve ever watched

Dare me! I have come to enjoy all of the teachings I have found on stoicism, but your videos are my favorite! Thank you 😊

It is interesting that Seneca describes who Christ is to so many people. "Choose someone whose way of life as well as wordsk and whose very face as mirroring the disposition that lies behind it, have won your approval. Be always pointing him out to yourself eithe as your guardian oras you model." - Seneca.

"Your days are numbered. Use them to throw open the windows of your soul to the sun. If you do not, the sun will soon set, and you with it" Marcus Aurelius.

When you beleive christ is God, then there isn't any contradiction. It is logical to obey God's will. Christ for the win as always 💯

Dare me! Thank You & GOD richly bless you.

Everything is so beautiful and simple -set up -for the mind and lost all these …..🌞

All praise to the most High king of kings Son of Living God my Adonai Yeshua HaMashiach. Feeling like a king on day 1,169 of selfdiscipline there is no match for Lord Yeshua HaMashiach on this earth or in Heaven he is ( I am) the real man no one can be like him he is the perfect 1.

Man this makes u feel so in touch with ur true self.. and how selflessness and love for one another.. is the ture meaing of life and our lord Jesus Christ

Loved this video, subbed. I agree..soo well put together,! Thank you, God still moves❤

Dare me! thanks so much for this video! as a follower of Jesus and lover of stoicism I was thrilled with its content.

I like your channel very much. This video reminded me of how Rodan of Alexandria a Greek philosopher was engaged in the task of harmonizing his philosophy of life with Jesus new religious teachings. There followed a lively engagement with Nathaniel and Thomas. The reconciling of the two views worked out beautifully.

Dare me... I believe both teachings have value and can therefore support each other

Words of wisdom. Now, to put them to practice. Thank you^

Dare me. I just watched this video and you, good sir, have got yourself a new subscriber. Love your content and God bless.

Thank you for making this message possible for us this is so interesting. Amen

LOVED THIS! THANK YOU!

I came to this realization a while back

This video is excellent. Thank you so much for this video and all the hard work

I JUST LOVE YOUR STOICISM. THERE'S SO MANY WANNA BE 'S OUT THERE. YOU'VE HELPED ME THROUGH SO MANY HARD TIMES AND HAVE HELPED ME TO CHANGE MY THINKING. THANK YOU

Christ dared me to know salvation, the truth and what is true life. Epictetus dared me to know what it is to be a human amongst humans and to accept my lot. Aurelius dared me to be exceptional without being haughty and to be bold without being boisterous. Plato dared me to think critically even when others begged me to be complacent.

The Apostle Paul was a stoic too. He wrote some pretty stoic stuff.

Thank you, immensely this is so well done

I loved this video! Thank you for making it. “Dare me” ❤

I have been wondering about the parallels of stoic and bible teachings for quite some time. Thank you for this video.

Wonderful video, I find tranquility in both teachings and to me they go hand in hand

This is very good , I enjoy and can explore whilst different there is indeed a deeper human bond , that faith , and reason gives mankind. I am so blessed to have grown in the West where these thoughts of reason and faith , were the bedrock of our society .... Sadly our society has forgotten both Faith as in Christianity , and transformed faith into being " nice " ... and the manly , reason and thinkers of Greece and Rome , about being strong resilient and having dignity , have been usurped by a " feminized Emotion based , reactive " theocracy ...that serves neither man or woman ... with any useful tools , only hate , revenge and reating " victim classes " , not teaching Faith or Reason ...... We need more Men teaching and being Men !!

Yes : I dare ... Amen .

I've been a Christian for a long time, in the last year I've enjoyed stoicism videos. I see a lot of parallels between them. I think stoicism compliments or agrees with christian way of living. They both believe in a higher power Stoicism believes in polytheism and Christianity believes in theism. 😮

Christianity is at the top of my belief system and philosophy, but Stoicism is a close second right under it.

Really enjoyed and appreciated this episode. Thank you.

My new fav channel this message cuts deep!

I would like to say many things, but I deem it sufficient to say only this: In my opinion, this video is the most deserving of a Like & Subscribe in my entire RU-vid journey. Thank you for your contribution.

Thank you for sharing may god be the glory

Thank you. This gave peace

Im a Christian and for me I believe that Stoicism aligns to Christianity and not the opposite because God came first meaning his Word came first. But yeah thats my belief in this God Bless you all. Never give up. Stand back up and keep on walking. In Jesus Name Amen.

Dare me! And wonderful quotes to start with ❤

It's an educational and inspiring video. Thank you for sharing!

Dare me. Loved this discussion and now you have a new subscriber God bless fam!

Heaven is in us and around us , turn a stone and He is there . All Glory in the highest to Jesus Christ 🙏 Amen 🙏. The battle is raging constantly around us every minute of every day. If people only prayed for the vail to be removed from our minds. Pray 🙏 to be sent and used by Christ 🙏 send me I pray 🙏

“The Gospel is what stoicism tries to be, but fails”

At about the 14 minute mark I realized that the script for the entire video was generated by ChatGPT, and from that point on, I could no longer listen without cracking up.

Jesus repeatedly told his followers to not be afraid and yet we see him sweating blood before the cross. When I saw that I realized- he was not saying do not FEEL afraid because who can control their feelings, but to BE afraid is to believe your feelings as some kind of higher reality than your values. This is whe I understood what Jesus was saying - trusting God is trusting his instruction and goodness above what we feel, fear or perceive - it’s about walking in what we KNOW to be true, even when all our senses tell us otherwise. This is all Jesus himself could do because the Bible says he was flesh and blood and tempted in every way. So when God says do not be afraid - he is not telling you to control your thoughts or feelings, but rather to bring them into subjection to the truth that in Christ you have nothing to fear.

Dare me .that was just what i needed. Im learning about both.
