The thorns in Luke press and threaten. They are the self-referential swarm posing as a flock: the so-called “community” that gathers to its own voice, circling death, mistaking its stench for sweetness, even as it strangles the one bearing the seed. more

The functional path of oneness is not an abstract unity but a lived encounter of utter dependence. Western thought, enslaved by the grammar of the Anglo-Saxons, treats the human as an individual: a self-contained atom, an object unto itself. It imagi... more

  • I found out after many episodes of angry voices and condescending tone that Paul Tarazi is an Arian heretic. The podcast is not recommended at all. Paul Tarazi is almost a Muslim in disguise.

  • Information is good but I don't know why Mr. Boulos is always condescending? It takes heavy toll on the podcast. To him, I say, try to listen to yourself more often.

    Full of air. Long winded speakers. Asides, analogies, and “ not examples.”

    Just be concise.
