With enough work and reading early church literature and scripture. I strongly believe this to be true as well. Very similar to #Bitcoin in a way...
Imo we say people should spend 100 hours studying #Bitcoin, then we must also spend the same amount of time studying early Christianity, the bible and the church fathers as these things are not just profitable for this life but for the judgement seat of Christ and the salvation of our souls.
During the early church times (Paul forming the church), Christians weren’t considered Christians until they spent 3 years studying and following the Gospel. Kind of reminds me of the 4 years for a bitcoiner to earn their stripes. Both require maximum conviction.
Love this. It does seem like a #Bitcoin cycle is similar to a catechism for Gentiles before being baptised and becoming members of the church. This time being needed like you say to study, and learn. Also made me think:
In the book of Acts, "the Way" refers to the early Christian movement.
Haha that is brilliant
Absolutely. This is a huge part of what made Orthodoxy appeal to me. The commitment to church history and preservation of tradition.
