Thank you. I stood on the Areopagus hill just a few days ago. While I wouldn’t call myself an atheist, I also don’t regularly attend church. Still, it was a powerful experience, especially knowing the history of this place.
Oh! My! Goodness! A masterful presentation that transports the viewer to the time and context of these often pondered scriptures. It was a fresh awakening for me. Thanks so much!
This was so incredibly impactful, from beginning to end. I just read Acts 17 and was so moved by the Athens section that I had to look for more commentary on this and came across this video. Thank you for compiling this. Super insightful! Wow!
Outstanding video. I was just randomly searching for videos about the altar of the unknown God and, as a cinematography and filmmaking nut, the camera specs being in the title caught my eye. I can't believe how good the editing, the score, and the color grading is in this video.
Hi Pete, Paul Hartung sent me the link to this. I was pleased and surprised seeing you in the video! Excellent job. Appreciate the work you did here. Glad to have it to share with others. ~Patty Hicks~
excellent work, beautiful images and great storytelling. This C70 camera is superb. greetings from France, may God bless you in your video projects for Jesus.
Hi! Thank you so much for your question. It was shot mainly on three lenses. 1. Sigma Art 1.4 | Canon 24-70 EF ll | Canon 70-200 EF lll. Yes, the 0.71 Adapter was used. Thank you for your feedback!
Jesus found me , I am so greatfull . He is the God of Love . The bible is the best love story ever - God loves us so much that he gives his only son , so we are redeemed .
I'm not sure how fruitful his work was in Athens. Afaik there were no major churches in athens and also greek religion stayed in Athens much longer than in Thessaloniki for example. In Thessaloniki in 300s they already started converting a lot of well-known buildings into churches
8:55 like Jesus saying the opening bar of Psalm 22 and Eminem using a line from MOB on Papa Doc in 8 Mile. Cultural context; Read Psalm 22; Jesus just identified on The Cross and hit his finishing move and picked up a special version of the 123
Images are NOT idols. Don't spout unbiblical anti-apostolic rhetoric. We do NOT worship images. God commanded the Israelites to make GOLD CHERUBIM on the ark of the covenant. God commands images of what's holy to be made by man as depicted in the bible.
Yes, Paul was Jewish and then he came to believe in Christ as the Messiah. That was part of the reason was he was so troubled by the idols in Athens, because of the 2nd commandment. - Pastor Pete
Why so credulous? Acts 17 is clearly a made up story. It’s full of anachronisms. In Acts, Paul debates the philosophers of Athens in the Agora but that has been destroyed and repurposed by that time in history. Furthermore, the philosophers would not have been debating the truths of Greek mythology. By that time in history they were stoicists and epicureans. The arguments that Paul makes in Acts are trite and easily dismissed.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but there is a lot of historical and literary evidence from ancient sources that Paul was in Athens and was brought before the Aeropagus. In addition, there are TONS of ancient sources that tell of the life of Dionysius the Aeropagite. Even though we disagree, thank you for watching and engaging our video. Best wishes, Pastor Pete
Look more into it and maybe you will be convinced your self about Jesus like Paul was him self ,I'm just saying there are powerful argument for the historical accuracy of the new testament record.
99.9% of all humans will fail at understanding the Gospel, including pastors, priests, intellectuals, and academics to say nothing of laypeople or those congregating in churches. It is a very, very small minority who are guaranteed salvation through Christ’s atoning sacrifice, not because Christ or God will it so but because humans are playing out Adam’s Original Sin over and over again without understanding anything.

@@peterarmstrong6624 My son is a video editor. He's taught me how to see!

That is very cool. Thanks for the positive feedback.
Excellent video brother, thank you for reminding us about Dionysus also.
“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.”

thanks so much, Grant! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great documentary, thank you
My name in Christ is Dionysius. Thank you, brother. Soul-touching video. God bless!
In reality saint Dionysios was the first father of the Church , a great spirit , the Aristotle of the Church .
This looks great!!
I want to know more about Paul and athens. thanks to this video. It was very enlightened.

Amen 🙏🏻
WELL DONE!! ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE!
excellent work, beautiful images and great storytelling. This C70 camera is superb. greetings from France, may God bless you in your video projects for Jesus.
I see you had some flares throughout. Have you noticed the purple flare everyone talks about when using the .71x adapter and shooting against the sun?
Good video. Good word. Well done. I watched a good piece or art glorifying Jesus.
This is awesome! What main lens did you use? (0.71 adapter?) Very nice story, nice grading.

What is the website for PDX Outreach? I would like to find out more about them, but a google search doesn't make it clear.
Jesus found me , I am so greatfull . He is the God of Love .
The bible is the best love story ever - God loves us so much that he gives his only son , so we are redeemed .

Whats the persons name who produced this documentary?
9:00 to 9:11 very relevant
Athens was like Berkley? Really now?
8:55 like Jesus saying the opening bar of Psalm 22 and Eminem using a line from MOB on Papa Doc in 8 Mile.
Cultural context;
Read Psalm 22; Jesus just identified on The Cross and hit his finishing move and picked up a special version of the 123
I believe tradition holds that he was murdered in Rome
You filmed in a world church where they have images and idols like your documentary was talking against
Images are NOT idols. Don't spout unbiblical anti-apostolic rhetoric. We do NOT worship images. God commanded the Israelites to make GOLD CHERUBIM on the ark of the covenant. God commands images of what's holy to be made by man as depicted in the bible.
Was Paul/saul a Hebrew Paul was a Hebrew do your research he was never Jewish
Yes, Paul was Jewish and then he came to believe in Christ as the Messiah. That was part of the reason was he was so troubled by the idols in Athens, because of the 2nd commandment. - Pastor Pete
@@parklanechurch There was no letter j during the time when Paul / saul walked the Earth. Do your research.
I had to quit watching your vide because the music is so annoying and louder than you speaking.
It could have been said nicer, but who would be rude.
I can hear fine 😁
Not a problem for me either.
