      That is awesome to hear, I think it's fascinating that the rule of Saint Benedict and the monasteries that have been developed can still be seen in practice today. I am glad you've made a connection with this monastery and I hope your studies help illuminate the great tradition of the Benedictine monasteries.

    One of the great innovators in Western history, Benedict was pivotal in establishing the foundation of a way of life that ultimately helped stabilize Europe after the collapse of the Roman Empire in the 5th century A.D., or as it's now termed, C.E., that foundation being monasticism, saved from anarchy by being transformed into a workable, practical institution, primarily through the wide adoption of the Rule of St. Benedict. Though the latter was subject over the centuries to wide diversification of monastic orders & inevitable creation of organizing principles relevant to their respective religious objectives, it nevertheless was Benedict's Rule that made monasticism a crucial conduit capable of preserving & transmitting civilization in the West, until the turbulence of the Dark Ages at last subsided, a centuries-long process.

    If you’re a Christian making a documentary about a Christian Saint, you should not use the terms “CE” and “BCE”. The very nature of your Christian faith should compel you to say B.C. and A.D. out of respect for our Lord and Savior who died for us. Don’t be afraid of offending non-Christians.

    The European west prospered because of following the examples of the Bible which they took with them when they migrated to Americas and applied the same principles because if which they prospered to the currrnt srage. But sadly the youngsters of today have so much FREE-DOM that they have FORGOTTEN how hard their ancestors worked to make the west to bring to the current state as uf all they have now has dropped down from the sky and thry are the conttollers of even the rights of the individual.

  • @joseph8468
    @joseph8468 Рік тому +1

    As soon as this narrator used the phrase "CE" in lieu of "AD" it became difficult to trust anything he said thereafter. If you cannot acknowledge the historicity of the Savior, why should anyone trust your version of other historic events?

    • @ChristianBiographies

      I understand your hesitancy in a world where you are unsure of the person behind the other screen. I’m a dedicated Christian, pastored a small rural church for 4 years, went to school doubled majored in Biblical studies and Preaching, got a Masters degree in New Testament Studies so I can understand Scripture and draw closer to God everyday.
      I made the video because I feel Benedict’s life can help many people today who are struggling with their faith.
      If me using a term in one section in one video makes you question the faith of another I think it would be wise to evaluate the severity of an issue like this. I make videos about Christian History because I think more Christian’s should know what the last 2000 years has looked like. But I can assure you I believe in the historicity of the cross and the resurrection of our Savior and I pray he uses these videos to reach all of the thousands of people I would never be able to reach in my local situation.

      @ChristianBiographies thank you very much for your response. May God bless this ministry you have undertaken. I concur that a greater understanding of history could benefit many in today's world. But still have to question your choice of the meaningless term "common era" rather than the more historically precise one of "year of the Lord."

    As for monasticism, it was invented by them; We did not ordain it for them, but (they adopted it) to seek Allah’s pleasure, then could not observe it as was due. So We gave the believers from among them their reward. And many of them are sinners.

    Imagine making a video about a Catholic saint and in the early moments citing the year as CE which eliminates reference to Christ for no other reason than to do so.
