Stoicism

"Show me a man who though sick is happy, who though in danger is happy, and I'll show you a Stoic."
Epictetus

"What is the fruit of your Stoic Doctrines?"  someone once asked Epictetus.  "Tranquility, fearlessness, and freedom" he answered.

The Unforgivable Sin

To highlight some fundamental points, Stoics are (1) pantheistic [pantheism is the belief that All is God and God is All, (2) fatalistic, (3) apathetic, and (4) self-controlled.  A detailed explanation of stoicism can be found at the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

Note: Pantheistic and Fatalistic passages, relevant to Stoicism, are (for the most part) not listed here but under their respected heading. 

Passage New International Version
Mark 12:32 You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him.

John 1: 1-5,14

 

 

 

 

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was with God in the beginning.

Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  In him was life, and that life was the light of men.  The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. [...]

The Word has become flesh and made his dwelling among us.
