1:01
The name of the man to
1:03
that god, and they say that god
1:06
came in the version of
1:08
a man and spoke to people. Can
1:11
you elaborate on that? Is that true? Do
1:14
you believe that some humans have
1:17
seen god? Well,
1:19
I mean, we don't think that every
1:22
sort of evangelical or person who claims to,
1:24
quote, see god in a dream necessarily
1:26
has. There's a lot of people who are deluded.
1:29
But we would say that in what we
1:31
call divine revelation, that even
1:33
throughout the revelation to Moses and
1:36
the prophets, in
1:38
the Torah and in the
1:40
prophets, there's multiple cases, many,
1:43
many cases where God
1:45
the Father is not revealed, but he
1:47
does have a manifestation, a face, a
1:50
glory that appears, one like the Son
1:52
of Man, the angel of the Lord.
1:54
And we think that's Jesus. That's the
1:56
logos. So God's son is
1:58
his face, is his form. is his
2:01
glory, is his messenger, is his
2:03
angel, and he does appear. So we would
2:05
say both are true. No one sees the
2:07
Father at any time as Jesus says to
2:09
the Pharisees in John, but
2:11
at the same time Moses went up on
2:14
the mountain and saw the face of God.
2:16
The face of God is the person of
2:18
Christ. So in that sense we think that
2:20
it's true and also not true. Okay
2:25
I understand. Okay that makes
2:27
sense. So essentially Jesus
2:30
is not just, or I
2:33
would say Jesus is not a persona or
2:35
a personality or just a human.
2:37
It's more so the embodiment
2:39
of us being created
2:41
in God's image. No we think he's
2:44
the eternal Son of God. So God
2:46
the Father from all eternity has
2:48
a divine Son and that
2:51
divine Son is the one who stepped
2:53
into time and space to take on
2:55
human nature to save us from
2:57
death and destruction. And so the death, burial,
3:00
and resurrection of Christ destroys the power of
3:02
death and human nature to in
3:04
the end of time resurrect us in
3:07
his image. So Christ is the perfect
3:09
image of the Father and he restores
3:11
what Adam lost in the garden in
3:13
the fall. So he's the new Adam,
3:15
the new man so to
3:17
speak, and we are conformed to
3:19
that by being joined to him in the
3:22
church. Okay
3:24
I actually agree with you as a Muslim because
3:26
I believe that Jesus Christ is gonna return and
3:29
be the embodiment of what a man is supposed
3:31
to be. Right but you don't believe
3:33
in the Son of God. So that's the difference. So
3:35
here's the thing right in
3:37
Arabic the Son of God
3:39
can translate to different things. So I
3:42
may agree with you. Well I don't know. I mean it's
3:44
not, you guys don't believe in the Trinity. For
3:47
example if you're saying like it's a
3:49
literal physical thing like I would disagree
3:51
because I would say a father
3:53
has to carry his son in his
3:56
balls as semen first and then give
3:59
birth to him. by having a sexual intercourse
4:01
with a woman. You got to hold
4:03
on so it's backwards. Jesus wasn't born
4:05
that way, right? So when
4:08
you say son of God, okay, I get
4:10
it. Yeah, that's easily a title you can
4:12
give him because he was born without a
4:14
father, the miracle. So I think if you
4:16
use the title son of God to glorify
4:18
the miracle of him being born without a
4:20
father and God is his father, then
4:23
surely God the father is everyone's father, right?
4:26
Well, that's not but that's not what we
4:28
mean, right? So we believe in the Trinity,
4:30
right? The from all eternity God the father
4:32
has eternally generated his son and
4:35
that that communion is had in the person of
4:37
the Holy Spirit. So from all eternity father, son,
4:39
and Holy Spirit are the one true God. That's
4:42
not what Muslims believe. Muslims reject
4:44
the Trinity. So that's the difference
4:46
there. Right. So we believe in
4:48
like the Abrahamic principle of monotheism.
4:51
But you don't, but you don't though. No,
4:55
no, here's the thing. Monotheism is
4:57
a simple concept. No, it's not worship one
4:59
diet. No, it's not one. Right?
5:02
No, it's not. That's not. That's
5:04
not what monotheism is. Explain it
5:06
to me. Right. So in the
5:08
revelation to Abraham, all three
5:10
persons of the triad manifest.
5:13
So Abraham worships the Trinity,
5:15
not a generic Unitarian God.
5:19
What does that mean? It means
5:21
that that like, if you
5:24
read ironically, I mean, let's
5:26
say, let's say we go to like Genesis 12, 15, 17, 22. In
5:28
every one of those cases where Abraham
5:30
has an interaction
5:38
with God, we see
5:40
not just a belief in a
5:44
Unitarian deity, but we see a
5:46
manifestation or an appearance of God.
5:48
It says in every one of those chapters that
5:51
God appeared to Abraham. That
5:54
appearance is the face of God is
5:56
the person of the logos is Christ.
5:58
That's why Jesus fulfills the promises
6:00
of the covenant to Abraham. So
6:05
in other words, if you go and read those
6:07
chapters, you'll notice that it's not what the Islamic
6:09
account of Abraham is, but rather it says that
6:11
the Logos of the Lord came to Abraham
6:15
and said, I will make you exceedingly great.
6:18
The voice of the Lord came to him. The voice
6:20
there is the Logos, the Word of God. So
6:23
the Word of God, the face of God,
6:25
the Son of God came to Abraham. Abraham
6:28
has a meal with this angel,
6:30
this messenger, this son, this Lord.
6:32
That's Jesus. That's not
6:35
Gabriel, because that Lord, that angel
6:37
is worshipped. So this
6:39
is the real Trinitarian God revealed to
6:42
Abraham. And every time you bring this up
6:44
with a Muslim, they suddenly say, oh, all those
6:46
texts are corrupted. That's all corrupt.
6:48
But the Quran doesn't actually say that
6:50
the texts are corrupted. That's a later
6:52
Muslim argument. The Quran says to check
6:54
the revelation of the Quran against the
6:56
prior revelation. Right. Okay,
7:00
so I have two things to say.
7:02
The first thing is Islam
7:05
comes on a basic, simple basis. Okay,
7:07
it comes on the basis of here's
7:10
a holy book from God. Yeah, but that's
7:12
not actually true. Come on. I
7:14
mean, I'm not trying to be rude. I'm just explaining.
7:16
Hold on, but that's not true. I mean, I've debated
7:18
every, I've debated all the top Muslims. It's not true.
7:20
It's not true. No, that's your belief. So
7:23
give me one. Hold on. So do
7:25
you believe? Hold on. Hold
7:27
on. Have you read Ibn Tamia? One
7:29
second, brother. Have you read Ibn Tamia? We'll
7:32
get to that. No, but what you said is not true.
7:34
What you said is not true. I
7:37
promise you, I will get to any
7:39
question. You know that there are multiple
7:41
schools that debate what the unity
7:43
of Allah is. So it is not true that
7:46
there's a simple monotheism. It's not true. I have
7:48
two things to say about what you said. Okay.
7:51
First one, Islam comes
7:53
upon a simple basis of here's
7:56
a book that is holy and
7:58
complete everything that
8:00
comes before it is
8:02
now considered poetic literature that's not true
8:05
that's not what the Quran says that's
8:07
not true let me tell you
8:09
that's not true the Quran doesn't say that why
8:12
because the only revelation that has been
8:15
preserved in the original language spoken by
8:17
the Prophet is the
8:19
Quran but what you just said
8:21
is not even true the Quran says to
8:23
check the revelation of the Quran against prior
8:25
revelation so that's the same thing on what
8:27
I'm saying directly what I'm saying directly is
8:29
the Prophet that revealed the holy book
8:31
each holy book we consider
8:34
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him the praised
8:36
one means Muhammad the praised one that's what
8:38
his name means okay because three billion people
8:40
today praise him they don't worship him they
8:42
praise him we should be praising Jesus not
8:44
worshiping I know that I'm broad we've already
8:46
had debates with all the top Muslims I
8:48
know I know but this is the point
8:50
that I'm making is that Islam came on
8:53
the basis that this is a holy book
8:56
and we believe that it's
8:58
the only complete truth because okay but
9:00
that's your belief that's your belief but
9:02
that's not addressing any of the points on a
9:05
simple basis of what Islam comes
9:07
upon that's your claim these are
9:09
claims these
9:15
are claims are you gonna address this isn't addressing any of
9:17
the arguments
9:22
the Quran doesn't come and say ignore all
9:24
the other books and only read the Quran
9:26
it says the Quran came here to confirm
9:29
what is before correct that's what I just
9:31
said what does that mean that means that
9:33
when you cross reference the Quran with
9:35
all these books you're gonna find certain
9:37
pieces of information that are confirmed and
9:41
in literal proof in the text match
9:43
up so versus but you understand that
9:46
there's giant portions that don't match up
9:48
criss-cross right but all right so you're
9:50
not gonna listen to what I show
9:53
up What
10:00
are these unique verses in the Quran? Those
10:02
are the verses that the kings and the
10:04
people before us took out of the Bible and
10:06
the Torah to make it fit in the Bible.
10:09
This is your assertion. You have no basis for
10:11
this because you understand we can... You're
10:13
not listening to me. It's
10:15
not just a simple... Alright, this is all fallacies.
10:17
This is getting ridiculous. So again,
10:19
we've addressed this a million times. He's not even
10:21
listening to what we're saying. John Q.
10:24
taxpayer. It's
10:28
like a script. It's like when you debate
10:31
with a Jehovah's Witness, they read a script. And
10:33
they don't reply to anything that you're saying.
10:36
They just charge forward with the script. Not
10:39
addressing the fact that you've already addressed this
10:41
point. Yeah, you claim that
10:43
it's a simple book and it's
10:45
consistent with what came before. And by the way,
10:47
he contradicted himself because he said that everything that
10:49
came before was poetic. And then he says, but
10:52
you can check it from what came before. That's
10:55
a contradiction. What's up, John Q. Hey
10:57
there, how's it going? Yes, sir. I
11:01
just had a quick question. Regarding
11:04
using penal language to describe
11:06
the Atonement, now I know
11:08
to some extent, like
11:11
for somewhat like mercy, Sproul, I
11:14
think they would go as far as saying
11:16
that the Trinity was like... Hey,
11:19
Jamie. ...divided in some sense. I'm
11:21
just wondering... Yeah, it's completely stupid.
11:24
I'm wondering, like saying like in a
11:26
basic sense of like what if we
11:29
were just to say Christ was punished
11:31
for us bearing God's wrath and we
11:33
were only to say that. Could
11:36
that be something that like you
11:38
could be orthodox and you could
11:40
just hold to something like that?
11:43
I mean, if the punishment that you believe is damnation,
11:45
then no, it doesn't make any sense. Because
11:48
we're already told explicitly that the
11:50
death or the quote punishment
11:52
is the severing of his human soul from
11:54
his human body. Christ
11:57
is a divine person, okay? never
12:00
turns his wrath to the Son because that
12:02
would imply that the divine person of the
12:04
Son doesn't have the same will and nature
12:06
as the Father. That would divide the Trinity.
12:08
So the death, if you
12:10
read John Damascus, book three, and you
12:12
go down to the very bottom of that whole
12:15
chapter, he explains perfectly what the Orthodox position on
12:17
the death of Christ is, and it's the severing
12:19
of his human soul from his human body so
12:22
that the divine person of the Son could descend
12:24
into Hades and preach the Gospel there. Okay,
12:27
yeah, I know I was just wondering
12:29
because... Hey Jeremy! Go
12:31
ahead. Oh okay, I was
12:33
wondering what you thought about because I
12:35
just kind of looked at it as
12:37
like penal language from St. John Chrysostom.
12:40
Yeah, the problem isn't using penal language,
12:42
it's what does it mean, and most
12:44
of the time Protestants think, well, the
12:46
punishment is damnation, you see, so that's
12:48
what leads them to that conclusion. Gotcha,
12:51
gotcha. I
12:53
was wondering, just another question, if Muslims
12:57
and Jehovah's Witnesses like to use John
12:59
17.3, I'm wondering like
13:02
how, what would be kind of like the
13:05
best way to respond to someone
13:07
to bring up John 17.3, saying
13:10
that the Father is the only true God?
13:12
I was thinking mentioning like... It's called monarchical
13:14
Trinitarianism. We've been addressing it for, I'm not
13:16
being rude to you, I'm just saying we've
13:18
addressed it for about seven or eight years.
13:20
Go watch all the talks with Dr. Beau
13:22
Branson. It's called monarchical Trinitarianism, so everybody should
13:24
be familiar with that, should go through his
13:26
lectures and his talks. Hey
13:28
Jeremy! She
13:31
must be outside. Adrian...
13:34
no way, that wonky, that
13:37
wonky. Don't
13:42
talk to White Knight for my wife, because
13:44
I'm trying to yell to her to get a copy.
13:46
I'm not yelling to be mean, dummy. I'm
13:50
yelling because she's in the other room and she
13:52
can't hear me or she's outside, so these people
13:54
try to... Look he's yelling at his wife. Let's
13:56
get him, we got him, he's an abuser. So
14:00
you're getting banned just for that nonsense. Go
14:03
ahead man. Looks
14:11
like he's having a hard time connecting. Adrian
14:21
Hackman. Yes,
14:33
I have a question. I'm
14:40
sorry. Go ahead. Okay,
14:43
good. Yes,
14:49
when I studied advertising I got in contact
14:51
with a group called Martinism. Martinism?
14:55
I don't know if you're
14:57
familiar with it. Yes. They
15:00
have a Gnostic-like belief that the
15:02
human soul had become trapped in
15:05
material bodies at the fall and
15:07
that Jesus, the Great Repairer, had to
15:09
come to return you, but it was
15:12
originally a fit. Okay.
15:17
So what's your question? Well,
15:21
he mentioned, I'm trying to sort of
15:23
understand what he meant when he said,
15:25
he took a quote from John, that
15:29
light shines in the darkness and the darkness
15:31
has not overcome it. And he said to
15:33
me that darkness is dependent upon
15:36
the light. It's a very sort of dual
15:38
kind of way of looking at. Yeah,
15:41
I mean, darkness is not a thing. It's just
15:43
expressing the contrast between good and evil. So
15:46
it's saying that the contrast between physical
15:48
light and darkness in
15:50
the created order in Genesis 1
15:52
is contrasted with uncreated light
15:55
and spiritual darkness in the sense of
15:57
evil. So it's not talking about metaphysical.
16:00
that evil has a metaphysical existence. Alright,
16:05
okay. Because the
16:07
group is based on theosophical
16:09
Kabbalah. Sure, of
16:11
course. And
16:15
it's based on the Zohar.
16:18
And I don't know, how
16:20
would you try to metaphysically debunk
16:22
this kind of gnostic,
16:26
Kabbalistic way of looking at the Bible? I
16:30
was just listening to some
16:32
weird Gnostic guys lecture a
16:35
minute ago. And
16:40
typically what you have with these kind of groups, like let
16:42
me show you the lecture I was listening to as an
16:44
example of what you're talking about. So
16:47
this lecture right here is an example of
16:50
kind of what you're talking about. I
16:52
mean, I don't think this guy's a Martinist. He's just
16:55
some kind of random boomer Gnostic who came up with
16:57
his own position. And
16:59
the documentary is called Cosmic
17:01
Conspiracy, Gnostic Cosmology, the Buddha-Mussiah.
17:04
And he doesn't
17:07
argue why the position is true.
17:09
He just asserts the position of we
17:12
know that there's all these archons and
17:14
we know that there's this dualism
17:18
that's the physical worlds of prison. So
17:20
I would start by asking, how do you know that this is actually the case?
17:23
Like you've got this big story about the cosmos.
17:25
But how do we know that that story is
17:27
true? And most of the time these people can't
17:29
tell you why it is. And
17:32
then secondly, I would say if you listen
17:34
to their storytelling, as I listen to this
17:36
guy's story, he
17:38
says that, you know, he starts
17:40
by saying that, well, the
17:43
church and the Jesus position that everybody
17:45
thinks is the church, they think there's
17:47
one true position. And no, that's a
17:49
deception. That's a dogmatic position. And then
17:51
he goes on to say, the
17:54
one true mystic position is
17:56
my Gnostic system. And
17:58
what you find out is that, is that true? actually a zillion
18:00
different Gnostic systems and they all contradict
18:02
one another and within about 20 minutes
18:04
these people will typically contradict themselves as
18:06
to what they said about 10 minutes
18:08
earlier. So listen for the
18:11
guy's story and the contradictions and you'll
18:13
begin to notice, well hey wait a minute,
18:15
it's like if true reality is in this
18:17
etheric realm and we're trapped in a
18:19
prison realm, how do you know
18:21
the truth in the prison realm? That's going to
18:23
be a contradiction. Okay, so it's kind
18:26
of like a schizo way of looking at it.
18:28
It's what? It's
18:31
a schizo-phrenic way. Oh yeah, yeah,
18:33
they'll constantly contradict. Like if
18:36
this reality is a lie, right,
18:39
as this guy said in this
18:41
video, then my coming to know
18:43
this reality is a lie is still part of this
18:45
reality and it would be part of the lie. That's
18:47
a contradiction. Okay. I'm serious. I
18:50
mean most of the time Gnostics are not very sophisticated so
18:52
if you just listen to them. Since
18:55
J&K Security Solutions opened in 1987,
18:57
our attention to detail and customer
18:59
service have been our strongest assets.
19:02
I'm President Jeffrey Beckman. We'll always do our
19:04
best to find the most efficient and cost-effective
19:06
solution to every job we tackle. Whether
19:09
it's security for your home or business,
19:11
installing video surveillance or being able to control
19:13
your garage doors from your phone, we
19:15
can help you feel empowered with simple
19:17
and user-friendly technology. Let's work
19:20
together to secure your home or
19:22
business. jksecurity.com and
19:55
let them talk for about five minutes. They'll
19:57
immediately contradict themselves. uh,
20:01
leonid, what's up dude? you
20:12
gotta unmute, man leonid,
20:19
you gotta unmute mr.pink
20:35
got some reservoir dolls yo
20:39
hello? yeah yeah,
20:42
hello? yes hello?
20:49
you kidding me? corn
20:52
boy got
21:01
that corn boy with them
21:03
corn rolls what's up corn boy? hey,
21:06
how's it going? can you hear me? yes sir uh,
21:10
i didn't know, i wanted to see if you thought there was any truth
21:13
to the idea that protestantism might have been uh,
21:16
not created but
21:19
allowed to exist by the catholic
21:21
church to create a false binary
21:24
to create a weaker enemy than the orthodox
21:26
church no,
21:29
i don't think there's any reason to think that
21:34
right on thank you uh,
21:36
let's see, progs progs
21:48
progs so,
21:56
you can try to come out and come back in, it won't connect
22:07
Varela, what's up? I think you wanted to speak
22:10
in the Super Chat. Varela. Hello
22:14
again. Yeah. Hello
22:17
again. Yeah. All
22:20
right. Something else regarding
22:23
the Roman Catholic Church. So there
22:27
was a recent discussion between Tucker
22:29
Carlson and Pastor Doug Wilson of
22:32
the CRAC. And
22:34
that discussion was going great until he
22:36
did the typical thing a participant will do,
22:39
is speaking against the
22:42
Spanish Inquisition. And I
22:45
don't think most people, participants, or
22:47
not seem to know anything more
22:49
about the Inquisition than Monty Python's
22:52
little skits about it. Right. Yeah,
22:54
I agree. Yeah. So the
22:58
point of it, and Joseph de
23:00
Maestre wrote very well on this,
23:02
although the fact about it was
23:05
not funded by the church. Of
23:08
course, for most of those, it was backed by
23:10
the Crown. I know. Yeah, I'm
23:12
talking about it. Yeah. So yeah, sorry.
23:14
I'd be interested to see those talks.
23:17
Because, okay, so we
23:20
know therefore this is a matter
23:22
of national unity and security. So
23:24
the same thing of what GK
23:27
Chesterton, he wrote, is- Wait.
23:29
What's the matter of national unity and security?
23:33
Things like the Inquisition. So like
23:35
GK Chesterton, he wrote in what
23:38
I saw in America, his experience going
23:40
through the
23:42
border patrol. And they ask him if
23:44
he's an anarchist. So it's like we
23:47
know there is other inquisitions, not just
23:49
the Spanish Inquisition. Right. I did
23:51
a whole talk. It's called Medieval Heresy. It's Malcolm Lambert's book.
23:53
I did a whole lecture on it. Okay.
23:57
So what's your question? All
23:59
right. Orthodoxy would
24:01
have no problem
24:04
with something like this. They've
24:07
seen something
24:09
like an institution like the
24:11
Inquisition, because I've seen
24:14
some American Orthodox writers speak against
24:16
it also, like Protestants saying,
24:19
you know, Orthodoxy does not have
24:21
things like this, but this
24:23
does not seem to make sense. Yeah,
24:26
there's no hard and fast answer to this, because typically in
24:29
the history of the church, when you
24:31
would have dangerous
24:33
heresies that threatened to
24:35
upend the social order, then
24:38
the Orthodox ruler would step in
24:40
to do certain actions
24:42
like banish the people
24:45
or make them leave or, you
24:47
know, something like that, or pass
24:49
a law to dissuade them from
24:51
proselytizing. And so that's
24:53
happened many times. I mean,
24:55
many of the Orthodox emperors passed laws against
24:58
the heretics in the
25:00
Ecumenical Councils, the 6th and 7th, they typically
25:02
tried to get the emperor on
25:04
their side, because that would ensure that the
25:06
heretics couldn't further
25:08
their agenda. I mean, St. Gregory Palamas,
25:10
you see this in the Palamite Synod,
25:13
they appealed to the emperor
25:15
to stop the Barlamites from pushing
25:17
Barlamism. So this is well
25:19
known. I don't think it
25:21
means we have to necessarily... Basically,
25:23
it's two different domains. So the
25:25
church says these people are
25:28
outside the church, and then the state,
25:30
because it rules in its sphere, makes a decision
25:32
about how to handle that
25:35
in the civil sphere. So I
25:37
don't know why you keep coming back to debate if you're not
25:39
going to listen to the discussion, and if
25:43
you're just going to machine gun past, then there's
25:45
no point in having a discussion. So I asked
25:47
you multiple questions about Islam, and
25:49
you just kept talking past. So I don't know why you
25:51
want to come back in. Hammer down, what's
25:53
up? hammer
26:00
down rabbit ears yeah
26:03
I had a question about the Scopio Bible if
26:06
you explain the who what when where why and
26:08
then I have another I just did a whole
26:10
talk on that on
26:12
my Twitter on the fourth
26:14
hour of Lord Voldemort okay
26:16
if I may ask another question that doesn't have
26:18
anything to do with religion necessarily but has philosophy
26:22
that's not a word historicity urban
26:26
meat hi
26:55
there I wanted
26:57
to ask a theological question
27:01
is Esther and Mordecai a
27:03
type of Christ and Mary
27:13
I don't know I haven't thought about that maybe
27:15
I'd have to go back and read us I mean probably
27:18
there's parallels with the church maybe
27:22
I don't know I thought about it I
27:27
also have one more question what
27:31
this is a really complicated question
27:33
so I am a Serbian
27:36
Catholic human and I
27:38
was wondering how to avoid temptations
27:41
of Catholics
27:45
I mean go and watch and look at all
27:47
the scandals of Pope Francis and why would you
27:50
want to be at Roman Catholic I'll
27:52
the great what's up elf I've
28:05
got to unmute. Sorry,
28:08
Jay. I
28:11
was wondering about
28:13
predestination in the Orthodox Church. So
28:16
that sort of pertains to,
28:18
like, divine providence and, like,
28:20
how much God's involved with
28:23
predestination. Yeah,
28:26
so I've addressed that multiple times
28:28
in the talks that you can look at
28:30
on the clips channel right here with
28:33
part one and part two. If you can see that on the
28:36
screen, there's the Calvinism
28:38
part one and Calvinism part two. So
28:40
I'm not trying to be rude. It's
28:42
just every time we do
28:44
the open forums. So, again, I
28:46
don't know why this dude. I don't know why. Why are
28:48
you trying to come on here and debate, man? It's enough
28:50
of this nonsense. Nejad.
29:13
I'm talking about the same Muslim God that keeps trying to
29:15
come back in here. He won't listen to the... He won't
29:17
have an exchange. He just wants to spam
29:20
his position. That's not an argument. Elia,
29:24
what's up? Unmute. What's
29:26
going on, Mr. Jay Dyer? Yeah.
29:32
I'm an inquiring Roman
29:34
Catholic slash Orthodox.
29:36
I've been listening to some of your stuff on
29:39
YouTube. I was actually
29:41
supposed to be baptized today, Roman Catholic,
29:43
but I kind of got cold
29:45
feet, decided to look at the issue again. So,
29:50
yeah, I was just curious
29:52
what you thought about the
29:54
Eucharistic miracles. I tried
29:57
looking up something
29:59
that you would... would have talked about
30:01
regarding them. I couldn't really
30:03
find anything. Yeah, I mean, we don't, I mean, Orthodox
30:06
Church doesn't have the same position as the
30:08
Roman Catholics on this. And I mean,
30:11
if you're trying to make the decision based
30:13
on supposed miracle claims, I think this is
30:16
a really kind of weak position to
30:20
choose your religions on, because every religion is gonna
30:22
have all these different miracle claims. So,
30:24
I mean, you gotta ultimately make the decision
30:26
on the basis of which position has a
30:28
coherent worldview. I
30:31
just don't understand why people make this decision
30:33
like because of all these supposed miracle claims.
30:36
I mean, like
30:39
every pagan religion claims to have miraculous
30:41
events. Are you gonna choose the pagan
30:43
religions because of miracle claims? I just,
30:45
I don't understand people thinking this. Grim,
30:47
what's up Grim? Hey Jamie, could
30:50
you make me a double shot? The
30:56
audience says I'm abusing you because I yelled. What's
30:59
up? What's on your mouth? All
31:03
right, so, so
31:06
for the tag argument, the
31:10
negative side of that argument, I
31:12
have no problem understanding that, but the
31:15
positive side getting the energy and
31:17
the diction out there and trying
31:19
to prove wrong, for
31:22
example, the Islamic God, without
31:24
having to go into each individual
31:27
religion or my opponent's religion to
31:29
refute that. Yeah, because the,
31:31
I mean, if God is a pure
31:33
unity, you could look at the problem
31:35
of how to have multiplicity. If
31:39
God is, I don't know,
31:41
like abstract and unknowable,
31:43
then he's irrelevant and not related
31:45
to the created order. So basically,
31:48
you either have a universe
31:50
that has intentionality and telos
31:52
or it's just teleological. So
31:54
basically, some of the basic
31:56
metaphysical principles kind of automatically cancel out a
31:58
lot of the work. religions but
32:00
if it's you know Islam or
32:03
Judaism versus Christianity then it gets
32:05
into the specifics of like the
32:07
triad and the metaphysics that the
32:10
Trinity gives you versus the metaphysics of the
32:13
other positions. Yeah so
32:15
in I know in Islam I
32:17
probably have to go into some
32:19
specifics because I know that the
32:21
hypostatic you know properties of each
32:23
person of the Trinity they reveal
32:25
that through the energies or the
32:27
operations which you know in Islam
32:29
they only have God
32:31
as a being they don't have
32:33
him as specific. Well also there's
32:35
the problem of knowing Allah because
32:37
they have a natural theology empiricist
32:39
principle that you're only ever
32:42
experiencing these creative effects you're never actually
32:44
interacting with or knowing Allah. Allah is
32:46
not in the created order at all.
32:49
Right so that's ultimately
32:52
like the same critique that Palamas
32:54
makes of Thomas Aquinas's
32:56
theism. Yeah
32:58
so in our worldview you
33:01
know so we don't
33:03
rely on empiricism right we
33:05
rely on so if
33:07
we're relying on knowing God then how do
33:10
we come to know God in our worldview
33:13
if not empiricism. Empiricism
33:16
is a school of philosophy or
33:18
a basic presupposition about how we
33:20
attain knowledge that's not the same
33:22
thing as having empirical
33:24
knowledge or obtaining knowledge from
33:26
empirical sense data they're
33:28
two different things. So
33:31
empiricism is just the idea that
33:33
the way we get actual knowledge
33:35
that justification is our senses. Empiricism
33:37
says that the only source of
33:39
knowledge is sense data and
33:42
Islamic philosophy and thought typically
33:44
says that as well. Right
33:48
and so what's the difference between that
33:51
and us? I mean in
33:53
the Jake debate he says nominalism
33:56
so we're not nominalists and
33:58
we're not subject to all the problems of nominalism. Did
34:01
you see the Jake debate? Yeah,
34:03
so basically so basically
34:07
he just keeps repeating nominalism and says
34:09
like that's obviously what's true and doesn't
34:11
even appear to be aware of the
34:13
problems in nominalism. So that
34:15
would be pretty devastating to having any
34:17
kind of coherent epistemology if you're a
34:19
strict nominalist. Oh yeah
34:22
and also you know you said that logic
34:24
is based in our minds and
34:26
all that. Would
34:28
that be part of nominalism as well? Well
34:33
nominalism is just a position that there's
34:35
no universals or essences they're
34:37
just sort of terms that we get. Okay
34:39
then yeah so yeah it would ultimately kind
34:41
of relate to that but thank you for
34:43
that question we're gonna move on. Alf
34:47
apologetics then you already come on here I can't remember
34:49
or did it not work I think you couldn't connect.
34:57
Yo. Hi Jay. I had
34:59
a question about the Church of England and of
35:01
our Protestant churches and
35:04
how we could sort of reclaim them
35:07
like I'm talking about conservative position how
35:09
we should reclaim these churches how we
35:11
could. Yeah I don't think we
35:13
can do that I think we just got to convert them to Orthodoxy.
35:16
Because yeah my question is
35:18
only based on this is because
35:21
like there's loads of people that
35:23
wouldn't have this question there's sort
35:25
of just a 10 church like
35:28
sort of not knowing any theology
35:30
not knowing why it's important and
35:32
sort of blindly following a lot
35:34
of the leaders like Justin Welby
35:37
all these other people that you don't know what
35:40
the importance of it is and so like is there
35:42
any way to do this? Like
35:45
regime zoom has got some movement
35:47
like the reconquees stuff. Yeah.
35:51
I feel like because of the
35:53
fact that even in America one
35:56
Episcopalian church booted
35:58
off a priest right because of some. liberal
36:00
complaint. I feel like it's impossible to
36:02
get people in the church to even
36:05
turn it around. Yeah, exactly.
36:07
But these masses, can we get these masses
36:09
to come to Orthodoxy even if they don't,
36:11
if they're just old people, right? They don't
36:13
know what they're, do you know what I mean?
36:15
They're just sitting in the church. Yeah,
36:17
I just don't think at an institutional level
36:19
you're going to do this because a lot
36:21
of these institutions are captured. So,
36:24
Redeem Zumer is young, he's naive,
36:26
he doesn't understand institutional capture. So,
36:28
no, you're not going to at
36:30
an institutional level capture these
36:33
captured bases. All your
36:35
bases belong to us. So,
36:37
all we got to do is just convert
36:39
the people on an individual level and that's
36:41
what's working right now that's happening. And so,
36:43
we just need to continue doing that. Buddy
36:45
love, that's what I'm talking about. Buddy love,
36:47
what's up man? Buddy
36:57
love, baby don't hurt me.
37:00
No more. What
37:02
is love? Baby
37:04
don't hurt me. No more.
37:09
All right, Buddy love can't connect. He's
37:11
got dial up after the
37:13
love shack. Daniel
37:17
Fahimi. You
37:30
got to unmute, man. You
37:37
got to unmute. Hi there.
37:40
You heard me. Uh-huh. I
37:44
just had a question to ask about
37:47
the... Since J&K
37:49
Security Solutions opened in 1987, our
37:52
attention to detail and customer service have been
37:54
our strongest assets. I'm President Jeffrey
37:56
Beckman. We'll always do our best to find
37:58
the most efficient and cost- effective solution to
38:01
every job we tackle. Whether it's
38:03
security for your home or business, installing video
38:05
surveillance, or being able to control your garage
38:07
doors from your phone, we can
38:09
help you feel empowered with simple and
38:11
user-friendly technology. Let's work together
38:14
to secure your home or business.
38:16
jksecurity.com. For
38:18
nearly four decades, JMK Security Solutions has
38:21
provided protection for homes and businesses. I
38:23
know firsthand. I'm Jeff Beckman, and with
38:25
my wife, Kim, we started JMK Security
38:27
Solutions. Our attention to detail, service after
38:30
the sale, and product knowledge are the
38:32
foundation of our success. JKsecurity
38:34
has routinely been recognized as the best
38:36
of Madison for security companies. We expect
38:38
that trend to continue as the next
38:41
generation. Our son, Jeffrey, takes over as
38:43
president. Let us protect what is valuable
38:45
to you. jksecurity.com. Transcendental argument, right? So why
38:47
is like a... Why is a mind with the only condition in
38:49
which you can ground
38:51
transcendental categories? Well,
38:56
because of intentionality and
39:00
because those categories stand or fall
39:02
together, they're not
39:07
discreet. They're kind of hanging and
39:09
fall together. I
39:15
still don't understand, but... Don't
39:20
understand what? It's
39:22
just like... I'm not used to thinking in
39:25
this abstract way. I
39:29
don't understand. Well, I mean, think
39:31
about your mind, right? I mean, your mind houses a
39:33
bunch of things, right? Yeah. Right.
39:37
So your mind is a single thing that houses a
39:39
bunch of things. So in a sense, it kind of...
39:42
In a limited temporal sense, quote, grounds them
39:44
or gives them some linking
39:48
substrate. So those
39:50
things that we're talking about aren't just
39:54
our minds. They exist and they
39:56
structure the entire world. So
39:58
where are they and how are they? we
40:00
need a divine mind. And so the divine
40:02
mind isn't just an abstract thing, it's
40:04
a personal intentional thing, meaning that it gives
40:06
purpose or telos to all of reality. Yeah,
40:12
thank you. Also another question. Sure. How
40:15
would you like refute the terminus and kind
40:17
of like prove that
40:19
free will has to exist? Well,
40:22
because if you deny free will, it's impossible
40:24
to have knowledge at all, in the sense
40:26
of having justified knowledge. So if you go
40:29
back and watch my debate with JF,
40:32
that ends up being the purpose of that whole debate.
40:35
The JF debate, by the way, is, it's
40:38
on here somewhere. If
40:42
you go to my clips channel, all the way
40:44
to the bottom, right
40:49
here where the Cheshire cat is, it
40:54
says best of JDR debates. That's
40:57
the debate where we debate determinism.
41:02
Wesley Venable, what's up, dude? What's
41:14
up? Hello, can you hear
41:16
me? Yes, sir. I
41:18
had a couple of questions about free stop and
41:21
transcendental arguments. Okay.
41:23
So I've got a friend at my parish,
41:26
I'm Orthodox, and he was
41:28
pretty into the truth of that free stop argument, but
41:30
lately he just decided he doesn't like anything that's dumb.
41:32
And one of the critiques is that if
41:35
we can't do natural theology because
41:37
it's a fallen world and we'll come to
41:40
false conclusions, why would that not apply to
41:42
the transcendental categories themselves? Why wouldn't
41:44
those also be in some kind of fallen world? Yeah,
41:46
I mean, that sounds like a misunderstanding of why we
41:48
quote, don't do, it has nothing to do with, because
41:50
the world is fallen. That sounds like what, that
41:53
sounds like what Bonson or Vantilles or somebody
41:56
would say. So it's not that we can't
41:58
do natural theology because we're fallen. It's that
42:00
natural theology is a
42:02
misplaced understanding of how
42:06
we derive meaning and ground or
42:09
understanding of the world. And that
42:12
ultimately we're still assuming God and
42:14
the Christian God when we try to even
42:16
do natural theology. So natural theology, if you
42:18
read the Garibee paper, is
42:21
also based on several fallacies, typically,
42:23
like the quantifier shift fallacy. So
42:25
it sounds like your friend is
42:27
probably misunderstanding what
42:30
we're saying as if it means that there's
42:32
no theology of nature. I mean, if you
42:34
read Stein Eloy, he says on page one
42:36
of Orthodox Dogmatics that we
42:38
do natural revelation, not Thomistic natural
42:40
theology. Yeah,
42:43
that all makes sense. I was trying to figure out
42:45
and just try to wrap my brain around his criticism
42:47
because it seems like some kind of category error to
42:49
me. Yeah, I think he's responding to the way Bonsen
42:51
or Van Tillis Calvinist would say that we don't do
42:54
natural theology. Yeah, because he's starting
42:56
to go and he said like the phenomenological argument is
42:58
what convinced, like the fact that we're here and we
43:00
exist is enough for him. I'm like, well, if I
43:02
mean, you're in the church, then it would be a
43:04
fine argument. I don't know what that, I mean, again,
43:07
I think that sounds like a lot of fallacies, like
43:09
the fact that I exist, like how would that prove
43:11
Orthodox Christianity? Right, I mean, that's
43:13
not going to work talking to people. And
43:15
then I was trying to think about like
43:17
trying to straw man or steel man the
43:19
trans-natal argument. I don't hear a lot of
43:21
very good criticisms about it. So I was
43:23
trying to think of some. The only one I've really heard is,
43:25
why is God the necessary precondition for
43:27
X when you've laid out formulaically like
43:29
that? Well,
43:32
God's the necessary precondition because it's not
43:34
just like the abstract idea
43:36
of God, it's God and the entire Christian
43:38
worldview. And the entire Christian
43:41
worldview is what gives a
43:43
grounding and a basis for the trans-natal
43:45
categories, which make knowledge possible. Yeah,
43:48
I would agree. My friend also says
43:50
like he would maybe be okay with
43:52
the trans-natal argument if we systematically disproved
43:55
every single worldview. Yeah, again, we've already
43:57
addressed every one of these objections has
43:59
been addressed. probably 500 times in the
44:01
last seven years. So you don't have to
44:04
address every single worldview because there's
44:06
only a limited number of basic
44:08
starting point positions for any possible
44:10
worldview. For example, a
44:13
disc teleological universe versus a
44:16
teleological universe. There's
44:18
only that like there's and you maybe you could
44:20
argue that there's some mix. Okay well that's just
44:22
three possible positions that will immediately determine and
44:25
sort of cross off a whole
44:27
bunch of worldviews. Yeah
44:30
I agree with all that. I just wanted to
44:32
hear your thoughts on it. And then one last
44:34
thing. Also Father Deacon and Aias' recent paper addresses
44:36
that objection. Okay I haven't read it yet
44:38
I will. One other thing I just
44:40
want to hear what your thoughts on this. If there's
44:42
no such thing as brute fact is that itself a
44:44
brute fact? No
44:47
because it's saying that
44:49
every fact is embedded and it would include
44:52
it would include that fact as well. So
44:54
for somebody trying to flip that
44:56
on us like that's a gotcha. It's only a
44:58
gotcha if I was like if
45:00
I believed in classical foundationalism. If
45:03
I believe that all beliefs
45:05
are theory-laden then the belief that all
45:07
beliefs are theory-laden is also theory-laden. Damn
45:10
dude he's bringing the damn farm
45:13
out to debate. Oh I just
45:15
got roasted by Rooster
45:17
Boy. Thank you so much. Appreciate those
45:19
questions. Daniel what's up? That's
45:23
a wolf rooster right
45:25
there. That was nice. That
45:29
was the sign of you that it's
45:31
taught for you to get off. The rooster is like
45:33
get off of that phone. Get
45:36
over here and get the eggs out
45:38
of these dang chicks. Daniel
45:41
what's up? Hey
45:44
Jay I was just calling I was wondering a
45:47
lot of the times Arians will bring up Proverbs 8
45:49
22 to justify that Christ
45:51
is a created being. How would
45:53
you defend the position that he's
45:55
not? We just read in the so
45:58
in this I think it's the Septuagint translational We read
46:00
that in the liturgy the other night. Or
46:04
was it the during the it was
46:06
just read in a liturgy recently and The
46:09
way ours reads it. It's like I was he
46:11
was with him in the beginning It's not created
46:13
me in the beginning or established. It's established me
46:15
in the beginning No,
46:18
ours has created me in the beginning. So there's when when
46:20
there's terminology that's
46:22
used that's analogies
46:25
for God like a
46:29
like there's a phrase where in Isaiah it
46:31
says something like I Will
46:34
be to Israel like a mother right? Does
46:36
that mean God is our mother and you actually
46:38
have like heretical sex who will take that
46:41
analogy and say oh we'll see God
46:43
is also a woman because God's like a
46:45
mother to Israel or something like that And
46:47
it's it's just an
46:49
analogy where elements of the
46:52
thing match up and elements don't so anytime.
46:54
There's an analogy we
46:56
can't take the things that don't make
46:58
sense to match up right so if there's
47:02
Dozens and dozens of other passages that talk
47:04
about the Son of God being the
47:06
eternal Son of God Then clearly
47:08
the passes that talks about The
47:11
personification of wisdom at the beginning of creation We're
47:15
not going to apply the created categories to the Son of
47:17
God Okay next
47:20
kind of branching question off of that would be
47:25
in what sense is Christ analogous
47:27
to being created? Well
47:30
the created order is analogous to him
47:32
as the Being
47:35
through whom creation occurs right so
47:37
for example It's
47:40
referring to the beginning of the works. It
47:42
doesn't mean that the Son himself is a
47:44
creation or work because it says also that
47:48
Huh? Yeah
47:53
Yeah, so when John and if you read John
47:55
1 when John and plays on this passage
47:58
right John 1's exegesis and
48:01
I wrote an essay on this some years back, it's in
48:03
the Red Book, so a lot
48:05
of people think that John 1 is pulling from Greek
48:07
philosophy. Actually John 1's
48:09
pulling from the Hebrew wisdom
48:12
tradition and the wisdom text
48:14
that personify wisdom. It
48:16
also personifies wisdom as a woman,
48:19
so like would we conclude that Jesus
48:21
is a woman because wisdom is personified
48:23
in Proverbs as a woman? No. So
48:25
there's elements that match up to
48:28
what it's referring to and elements that
48:30
don't. Just like God is
48:32
a mother to Israel but God's not a mother,
48:34
right? So if he's like a mother to Israel
48:37
and so the
48:39
beginning of the created order finds its
48:41
origin in the person of Christ, the
48:44
logos, and that's the way John exegetes
48:46
this passage in John 1. So John
48:48
1 is really the way to
48:51
interpret Proverbs 8, that's what I'm saying, and that's
48:53
why he says, in the beginning was the Word,
48:56
the Word was with God, the Word was God,
48:58
he was in the beginning with God, all things
49:01
were made through him, and nothing that came to
49:03
be came to be without
49:05
being made through him. So that
49:07
means that he's not a creature. And
49:12
the word there is the
49:14
wisdom logos of Proverbs. So
49:18
but that's a great question. Let's
49:20
see. Timothy, what's up Timothy?
49:30
By the way, if you want to support via Bitcoin,
49:32
this is my wallet QR code. The wallet
49:35
address is also in the show description. What's up Timothy?
49:40
Christ of wisdom. My question is
49:42
with regards to the idea
49:46
that when Christ became man, when
49:48
Christ became man, the
49:52
person of Christ went
49:54
from, this is gonna sound
49:56
a bit strange, went from simple to complex.
50:01
I understand that in... Yeah, I think that terminology
50:04
is used by St. Maximus, yeah. And
50:07
maybe John Damascus, too. Yeah,
50:09
and in regard to... I
50:11
sort of work with the mission group. So
50:14
translating this to our language is a
50:16
bit difficult for me, especially because I
50:18
myself don't understand this concept in
50:20
its depth. So it's not impossible for me to explain it to
50:22
you. Well, it just makes it complex in the
50:25
sense that now he's composite or compounded of human
50:28
nature and divinity. Because of the human nature,
50:30
correct. Are there
50:32
any books that I could read
50:34
to expand more of this knowledge than you
50:36
would recommend? Well,
50:39
yeah, I mean, any of the Orthodox Church
50:41
Fathers that treat of
50:43
the incarnation extensively, like
50:46
St. Maximus, you know,
50:48
the Cosmic Mystery of Christ book from
50:50
St. Vladimir's, you could read John Damascus's
50:52
Only Orthodox Faith, Book 3 is all
50:55
about Christology. But
50:57
if you want more of an academic scholastic
50:59
treatment, Rise
51:01
of Christian Theology and the End of Ancient
51:04
Metaphysics by Zach Huber is all about the
51:06
metaphysics of the incarnation. So that would be
51:08
this book right here. Let
51:11
me open the stream, sorry. Oh,
51:17
yes. And
51:19
also, if I can ask one more
51:21
question. In regards to the Old Testament,
51:25
the various Theophanes, and for example, like
51:27
the more you read the Psalms and
51:29
the more you read the entirety of
51:33
the Old Testament from Orthodox Phonema, it
51:35
would be more and more compelling, more
51:38
and more blatant that literally everything
51:40
is about Christ. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah,
51:44
he says that at the end of Luke, Luke 24,
51:47
he says that he opened their eyes to understand everything
51:49
in the Scriptures about him. Right.
51:51
How would you, because I believe that
51:54
the apostolic age never truly died. I
51:56
think that we, as Orthodox Christians, we
51:58
are out to... following
52:00
the footsteps, the
52:03
same way that St. Paul, for example,
52:05
wrote for the Hebrews in
52:07
his letters, he
52:10
used language that they would understand. What
52:12
sort of language do you think that
52:14
would be useful to explain to Muslims
52:16
that these things are indeed the kingdom
52:18
of Christ and it's not just some God
52:20
which can't know or have any analogy of
52:22
what it is in fact? I don't know.
52:24
I mean I don't know if there is
52:27
any language secret to explaining stuff
52:29
to Muslims. I don't know. I
52:33
see. Thank you very much, Jason. Yeah, I
52:35
mean I think it's just a... just
52:39
sort of a really
52:42
hard-headed, arbitrary...
52:46
I mean when you talk to the Muslims most of the
52:48
time, like the guy that was in there earlier, he wasn't
52:50
interested in having a back-and-forth, he just wanted to do his
52:52
spiel. And if
52:54
you try to have that back-and-forth,
52:57
he just blew past every question and just
52:59
wanted to keep repeating his position and do
53:01
a sales pitch and it's like... Then
53:06
he said to them, these are the words which I spoke to you
53:08
when I was with you that all things might be written that were
53:11
fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses and the
53:13
prophets and the Psalms about me and he opened their understanding
53:15
that they might comprehend the Scriptures. So
53:17
until the Messiah opens your mind
53:19
to comprehend the Scriptures being about
53:21
him, you won't understand. You won't see
53:23
any of this. Is
53:25
God able to do anything? Eric,
53:28
$3. So I addressed this
53:30
earlier. No, what
53:32
omnipotence means is anything that's
53:35
possible within what's determined
53:37
by his nature. So
53:39
it doesn't mean literally anything
53:41
possible. That's importing an external
53:43
definition of omnipotence
53:45
to our system. So it doesn't mean that. Where
53:52
do humans and demons get evil from if
53:54
not from God? So evil is
53:56
a move of the will away from the good.
53:58
It's not a thing. being doesn't
54:00
have substance God doesn't make evil

go watch the video the Protestant candidate

54:45
myself dealing
54:50
with unresponsive priests and ethnic
54:52
churches and
54:54
then I finally found a good one after many months yeah
54:56
I think that's the thing is that you
54:58
know Orthodox Church is not some in
55:00
general when you try to find one you're not gonna
55:02
find like some utopia you know
55:05
it took me a long time to find a good

55:28
you agree with Andrew Wilson stance on

rights I mean we had
55:32
to talk about this it just depends on what you mean about rights
55:34
I mean do you mean a moral
55:37
like defense grounded
55:39
in divine law
55:43
or do you mean like the enlightenment idea
55:45
of like some inherent right I mean if
55:47
you're an enlightenment goober which is most of
55:49
people that or or atheist or whatever which is
55:51
a lot of the people he's debating the
55:53
feminists like they
55:55
have no basis for rights and there doesn't make
55:57
any sense I
56:03
had this argument with my brother and he
56:05
was insisting that the position was anti-christian. It
56:08
just depends on what you mean by the words. One

56:14
do we not have multiple wives in

Christianity? Because Jesus when he came, because
56:18
he's the one that gives the law, he
56:21
decides when to apply, when to relax the
56:23
laws, decided that he wanted
56:25
to move us in the direction
56:27
of what was appropriate
56:29
and intended in Genesis, whereas
56:33
polygamy was a condescension to
56:35
man's weakness and so
56:37
he made that decision for our goodness.

57:54
is Christ the Logos and
57:56
Word of God? Is
57:59
that the voice? heard in the sky. Well
58:01
Christ is a divine person who's being
58:03
baptized. The voice is the
58:05
energetic manifestation proper to the hypostasis of
58:07
the Father. So it's the Father
58:10
saying this is my beloved Son. And
58:14
if you read, it's the same principle with
58:17
the tongues of fire. It's
58:19
not the person of the Holy Spirit,
58:21
it's the energetic manifestation of the Spirit
58:23
that is appearing as a dove or as tongues of
58:25
fire. But the Holy Spirit is not a dove and
58:28
He's not a tongue of fire. GeetzavanPigSti$7.
58:33
J question, how do souls come into existence
58:35
after Adam and Eve? St. Maximus says very
58:37
clearly that they're created instantaneously
58:39
at the point of conception. Is
58:43
there a continuation of God's breath into Adam
58:45
and Eve? I think God creates a new
58:47
soul. Is it
58:49
a self-sustaining chain reaction? No. L2A$5.
58:57
Could you steel man created grace
58:59
saving you? No,
59:01
because it's a completely rejected position all
59:03
the time, all the four of the
59:05
polemite synods which are translated in this
59:08
new book, fairly new book,
59:12
in all four then they reject the possibility
59:14
of how grace itself could be created without
59:16
ending up in some kind of Arian position.
59:18
I mean Arianism is false because it says
59:21
that our Savior is a creature and
59:23
it's just an Arian news to say that the grace
59:25
that saves us is also a creature. It's just silly.
59:28
And they'll always try to deflect into saying
59:30
that, well sacraments have a created element to
59:32
it so it's a created grace. It's not
59:34
what we're talking about. We're talking about the
59:36
energies themselves that we participate in. Are
59:39
they themselves created? And the answer universally in
59:41
the Eastern Church and amongst the Eastern Fathers
59:43
and Councils is absolutely not. Gmall10
59:45
dollars. I love you. Well
59:47
no homo bro but I love you too.
59:50
Sean5 dollars. Malpass granted that
59:52
God might be the way to account for
59:54
logic but does it says
59:57
it doesn't rule out logic being grounded
59:59
in something incomprehensible. Well, if it's incomprehensible, then I
1:00:01
don't know how it would do the grounding work. I'm
1:00:05
sympathetic to having a respect
1:00:07
for uncertainty, but
1:00:09
it makes it impossible to argue, correct? Yeah,
1:00:12
it seems like it would go in that direction. Roll of stakes, $10.
1:00:17
What is your favorite argument against Protestants
1:00:19
to take issue with venerating Mary and
1:00:21
giving her titles such as Queen of
1:00:24
Heaven? Well,
1:00:26
I don't know why we wouldn't venerate the Queen. I
1:00:28
mean, isn't that the point of terms and showing
1:00:31
respect? So you believe she's a queen,
1:00:33
but you're not going to venerate her? It just doesn't make any
1:00:35
sense. What
1:00:39
do you say to their arguments when they try to equate
1:00:41
her to a pagan goddess? Well,
1:00:44
again, I mean, it depends on what
1:00:46
the referent is, right? I mean, Pachamama is
1:00:48
not Mary. And for
1:00:50
Roman Catholics to try to say, well, it's kind of
1:00:52
like Mary. I mean, that's an idiotic move. So if
1:00:55
we were like Lofton or a Roman Catholic
1:00:57
making a Pachamama argument, then maybe they would
1:00:59
have a point. But I
1:01:01
mean, would you say that an
1:01:04
archangel is a... I mean, surely if you're a Protestant
1:01:06
who believes the Bible, you think that there
1:01:09
are archangels that are high in
1:01:11
rank. Does that make them
1:01:13
gods? I mean, and by the way,
1:01:15
the problem also might be linguistic
1:01:18
because Jesus said, I have said, ye are gods.
1:01:22
So he made Moses like a god
1:01:24
to Pharaoh. So the
1:01:27
problem isn't the terms or the words. The
1:01:30
problem is, are you giving improper
1:01:32
reverence to a creature that's due
1:01:34
only to God? That's
1:01:37
what idolatry is. Mr. Pink, $19.95. Can
1:01:42
I speak? I have the
1:01:44
highest IQ question. All
1:01:46
right, let's see. Well,
1:01:50
you dropped off. So if you're still in the
1:01:52
chat, pop back on, Mr. Pink. I apologize. I
1:01:54
just now got to your question
1:01:57
here. We couldn't get
1:01:59
you... You couldn't... hear me when you popped on.
1:02:01
DC would work in $3. Thank you so much. Appreciate that.
1:02:04
That wonky boy, $3. I
1:02:07
couldn't ask on the X. I'm going to ask you here, how
1:02:11
does the Orthodox Church know dogma? I'm not trying
1:02:13
to be rude, but like maybe we've answered this
1:02:15
question literally every time we do a live stream
1:02:17
so you can just go watch some of the
1:02:19
other live streams. I'm sorry. I'm just like, I
1:02:21
can't answer that. One thing that I really just
1:02:23
don't like about doing
1:02:26
the live streams is answering the same
1:02:28
question like 50 times and
1:02:30
I'm not trying to knock you guys. I appreciate the $3, but
1:02:34
like literally you could just go probably listen, just
1:02:37
pick any of the previous open Q and A
1:02:39
debates and that that question is
1:02:41
going to come up or just
1:02:43
go watch Ubi's video on how we know
1:02:45
what Orthodox dogma is. So,
1:02:48
and by the way, the Roman Catholic
1:02:50
Church saying that we
1:02:52
have the papacy, it actually doesn't give you what the
1:02:54
dogmas are either. So it doesn't even do that work.
1:02:57
Dom El Cardio, $10. What
1:03:01
is the argument against Krishna and
1:03:04
others before Jesus going
1:03:07
through crucifixion born of a virgin and so
1:03:09
on and so on? Well,
1:03:12
again, it's another type of word
1:03:14
concept fallacy and it's also a
1:03:16
genetic fallacy. The fact that
1:03:18
there's similarities in the religions doesn't have
1:03:20
anything to do or doesn't prove that
1:03:22
it comes from the other. It's
1:03:25
a non-secretary genetic fallacy. It's also
1:03:27
a historical fallacy just because something
1:03:30
comes beforehand doesn't necessarily mean that
1:03:32
the religion has its origin from
1:03:35
there. So there might be
1:03:37
some religious claim to a virgin birth,
1:03:39
but that doesn't mean that Christianity therefore
1:03:41
derived its doctrine of the virgin birth
1:03:43
from that pagan religion. It's
1:03:46
just and that's all the way, like all
1:03:48
of the zeitgeist level arguments are based on
1:03:50
these fallacies. And
1:03:57
I've never heard of Krishna being crucified.
1:04:01
Is that a thing? Maybe it is. I don't know.
1:04:04
But, I mean, the argumentation of crucifixion
1:04:06
and whatnot in this Biblical revelation has
1:04:08
nothing to do with Krishna. Abiyana,
1:04:14
I can't even pronounce whatever. I'm
1:04:16
guessing this is some Hebrew root
1:04:18
stuff. Go ahead. Tell
1:04:24
me about Krishna and Yeshua. Yeshua
1:04:26
said, all who came before me are liars
1:04:28
and thieves. And so that explains everybody who
1:04:30
came before Him. Well,
1:04:34
not everybody, like, I mean, not Moses,
1:04:36
right? I
1:04:38
was talking about the negative entities. We
1:04:40
need to call Him Christ for don't
1:04:42
know. Yeah, I would agree
1:04:44
with that. So what's your position? What are you arguing?
1:04:49
Oh, no, I was just popping in because
1:04:51
somebody's talking about Krishna, right? So if you
1:04:53
want to talk about Krishna, right? That's Shiva.
1:04:56
So all Krishna is is
1:04:59
another representation of Shiva. And
1:05:02
so Shiva's
1:05:04
represented, they worship
1:05:06
Him with lingams, with an
1:05:08
eight-sided figure, like an idol,
1:05:10
right? And
1:05:14
then so if you look at the temple mount, right,
1:05:16
and you'll see on top of there is
1:05:18
just a lingam. It has eight sides with
1:05:20
the thing in the middle. It's just not extended
1:05:22
up very high because of the dome, right? But
1:05:25
it is a lingam. They worship Shiva
1:05:27
because Shiva, Lucifer, and everybody else who
1:05:29
is in Yeshua, right? They're all
1:05:31
on the same team. Well,
1:05:34
I agree with that principle, but I don't think that sounds
1:05:37
like if you're using the terminology Yeshua, that
1:05:39
you're into some Hebrew roots thing, which is
1:05:41
silly. So
1:05:44
you're saying that Hebrew did not come before English? Well,
1:05:47
again, that would be the historicist fallacy. It doesn't
1:05:49
really matter what came first in this regard because
1:05:51
the word... How it does, because English came from
1:05:53
Hebrew. It
1:05:55
wouldn't matter because the referent is what matters.
1:05:57
So this is a word. It's a super
1:05:59
stick. to think that somehow like saying
1:06:01
the word Yeshua makes you like better
1:06:04
or more holy or something. So you
1:06:06
and you think Jesus doesn't mean the same thing. Well,
1:06:20
Jesus is a transliteration, right?
1:06:23
But if we go back to... So are you
1:06:25
a Hebrew? Are you Hebrew? Well,
1:06:29
I guess I'm Jewish if you consider
1:06:31
a Jewish being born again. Are
1:06:34
you a Hebrew in terms of your ethnicity?
1:06:36
No, I'm not a Hebrew. Right, so why
1:06:38
are you trying to act like you're Hebrew?
1:06:42
Oh, no, it's because my Messiah was. Yeah,
1:06:46
but the Messiah intended...if you read Isaiah
1:06:48
like say 49, 50, 51, the
1:06:52
Messiah intended that message to go out
1:06:54
to the Gentiles and intended
1:06:57
that message to be translated into all of
1:06:59
their languages. First
1:07:01
to the Jews, then to the Gentiles as the
1:07:03
actual verse. Which
1:07:05
verse? I'm talking about Isaiah. I'm
1:07:08
talking about New Testament? I mean... No, Isaiah is not
1:07:10
in the New Testament. I'm talking about the book of
1:07:12
Isaiah. I know Isaiah is not in New Testament. I
1:07:14
know, I know. Isaiah 11, 2, right? And then Isaiah
1:07:16
12, 2? Yahya. No,
1:07:19
I said Isaiah 48, 49,
1:07:21
50, which talks about the Gentile nations coming into
1:07:24
the covenant. That happened in the first, second, third,
1:07:26
fourth, fifth, sixth century. You know that, right? Still
1:07:29
today. Okay, but what was the
1:07:32
church doing in the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth
1:07:34
century? You do realize that. What
1:07:36
was the church doing...are you not going to answer the
1:07:38
question? What was the church doing in the first, second,
1:07:40
third, fourth, fifth, sixth century? Probably
1:07:44
trying to get the lead. Alright.
1:07:47
You're an idiot. This
1:07:55
is what you get with Hebrew roots,
1:07:57
goobers. I was hoping they would call in. We've
1:07:59
only got one. one of them finally after like an hour.
1:08:04
Ky Shark, what's up Ky Shark?
1:08:28
What's that? Oh,
1:08:30
hi, I'm a big fan.
1:08:32
Thank you for um, I'm sorry, man. I can't hear you.
1:08:35
I can't I appreciate that I can't but I just can't hear you. Judah
1:08:45
Hicks, we got another Hebrew roots man Judah. Hey
1:09:01
brother, how you doing? What's
1:09:03
up? Hey, I
1:09:05
just had a few questions on
1:09:09
some transcendental argumentation I wanted to hear your
1:09:11
thoughts on. What's
1:09:14
up? So,
1:09:17
I know you probably addressed this point before,
1:09:20
but when we talk about transcendental categories
1:09:22
and how they relate to knowledge, I
1:09:25
mean we use this to create a
1:09:27
critique like an atheistic perspective. The
1:09:29
question would be is why can these transcendental
1:09:32
categories not just exist in a
1:09:35
presupposed form and compared to
1:09:37
being grounded in the same way that
1:09:39
Deos would presuppose go? Well,
1:09:41
I mean it because it doesn't do the work of
1:09:43
grounding to just say they are it's arbitrary. Well, they
1:09:45
just are just are what? Just
1:09:48
are where? It doesn't it
1:09:50
doesn't do any work. Okay,
1:09:53
I mean that's what that's what Matt Dillahunty says when the
1:09:55
Matt Dillahunty debate he says well they just are just
1:09:58
are what and by the way Matt didn't you say not to believe
1:10:00
that? anything that you don't have physical evidence for. Yeah
1:10:03
and so your response would
1:10:05
just be in what form
1:10:07
do they exist? Well to
1:10:09
say they just are does
1:10:11
and says nothing. Just are
1:10:14
what? Just are where? Just
1:10:17
are applicable to reality and actualized.
1:10:20
That's begging the question.
1:10:22
We're asking their status,
1:10:24
their existence, their justification.
1:10:26
That doesn't
1:10:28
say that doesn't tell us anything. Pre-supposed
1:10:36
to be where? Pre-supposed to be
1:10:38
what? So
1:10:42
that's just saying that we when
1:10:45
we make claims
1:10:48
we assume they are but
1:10:50
we're not asking do you do that
1:10:52
we're asking what they are. It's a
1:10:54
different question. So
1:10:57
the question is more similar to what
1:11:00
are the transcendental categories? Yeah what's their ontological
1:11:02
status, where are they and how are they?
1:11:06
By how are they do you mean are they actualized?
1:11:08
I mean their mode, their mode of existence. So
1:11:16
what do you mean their mode exactly? Of course their
1:11:18
abstract. Mode is a philosophical term for the way a
1:11:21
thing exists. How it
1:11:23
exists. Okay so where
1:11:25
are these categories? How do
1:11:28
they exist? Well
1:11:33
but I'm saying that's what we're asking when
1:11:35
we ask for that type of justification. That's
1:11:37
why we go to things
1:11:40
like Christian metaphysics. So that's
1:11:42
how we get to grounding them and
1:11:46
whatnot. Surge. What's up
1:11:48
surge? Y'all
1:11:59
having fun today? We
1:12:01
had about 1200 at one point, so
1:12:04
that's a good day. I'm
1:12:06
mute, man. Hello?
1:12:09
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Hey,
1:12:12
thanks. Yeah, AJ. I
1:12:14
have a question about communion in both kinds.
1:12:19
I think the Roman Catholics
1:12:21
say that it's permissible
1:12:24
to give only the host, and
1:12:28
to say that it's not would
1:12:30
be a metaphysical issue because then
1:12:35
you would divide up Christ and separate his
1:12:37
body with his blood. Is
1:12:40
that something you've
1:12:42
heard against, I guess, communion
1:12:44
in both kinds? I mean, it's just
1:12:46
the Orthodox Church does the traditional ancient
1:12:49
practice, and that's why we give it
1:12:51
to babies. And so the Roman Catholic
1:12:53
Church departed from all this under
1:12:55
the Carolinian era. So, I mean,
1:12:58
we're not sitting here trying to figure
1:13:00
out the scientific elements of what you're
1:13:03
partaking of when you have. We
1:13:05
just do it the way the church has always done it. So,
1:13:08
I mean, it's a silly
1:13:10
Roman Catholic argument that they have. I'm not sure I'm going to
1:13:12
be rude to you, but it really just
1:13:14
misses the whole point. It's open
1:13:16
for me. You guys want to come on and ask
1:13:18
your questions, make your arguments. That means
1:13:21
you make an actual argument. That
1:13:23
means you give a supporting positions,
1:13:25
you have a logical account
1:13:27
of why you believe this or that thing.
1:13:29
If you've already been on here and asked
1:13:31
multiple questions, then please, we're
1:13:33
looking for other people who disagree. So,
1:13:36
we've had multiple people on today who have asked
1:13:38
questions, which is fine. I don't
1:13:40
mind answering everybody's questions, but really
1:13:42
looking for people who have specific
1:13:44
disagreements, who want to
1:13:46
argue their position versus our position.
1:13:49
You're welcome to hop on and do that. Just
1:13:52
make arguments telling
1:13:54
me that the church fathers are just looking for
1:13:56
something to eat. It's just dumb, wasting Everybody's time.
1:14:00
Two organizations for the position. We want to
1:14:02
know why this is the case. Remember one
1:14:04
of the com and not mistakes to seems
1:14:06
to be made all the time is that
1:14:08
people don't know what it means to give
1:14:10
an account for the position. That.
1:14:13
Means to tell me why I should
1:14:15
believe your position. That doesn't mean you
1:14:17
tell me a big story. Telling.
1:14:20
Me: the story doesn't tell me why your
1:14:22
positions correct. Lady.

Stuck in different areas or

1:15:13
and that just. As
1:15:16
I was. Honest
1:15:19
to. God
1:15:25
that is. All
1:15:27
of you know I know there's. Something
1:15:35
which is now the best. Me thinking is a
1:15:37
me based on look for without. One
1:15:40
month on the diversity a highly like
1:15:42
a race time and sounded like a
1:15:44
passing lane. My theory
1:15:46
based on anyone else didn't want them
1:15:48
to move with to Atlanta. For more
1:15:50
not less, her Californians have to to terms and conditions.
1:15:52
Mates are determined by several factors which vary by state
1:15:54
in some states participation drop by some other cities or
1:15:57
died and for purposes of eating well in some sense
1:15:59
of a pudding. That I was driving generally sacred I
1:16:01
bristle say but i was also don't as the interns coming
1:16:03
in philly sorts but Illinois. Something
1:16:06
we just know it's easy to get all
1:16:08
say the best price on line. They
1:16:11
also nobody here has offices
1:16:13
on Mondays. courtside seats as
1:16:15
know the prices. And
1:16:18
they are. You can easily the also. Lowers
1:16:20
says on auto insurance at all Say
1:16:23
that com. Prices
1:16:27
vary including basins a by subject to
1:16:29
terms, conditions and availability of different as
1:16:32
the insurance company and affiliates not like
1:16:34
Illinois stories. To the other topics that
1:16:36
suit or not or be rude but
1:16:38
today's topic is debating the topics. Which
1:16:42
has nothing to do with. Remember
1:16:46
Jesus body because it's
1:16:48
good. To
1:16:53
clinical. Director or
1:16:55
jesus said it's are super taken of his
1:16:57
flesh and blood so much as much or.
1:17:02
Okay, but they're trying to associate with
1:17:04
something else that was far nefarious. You
1:17:06
know? I don't want him to go there
1:17:08

after the got. For. What?
1:17:49
I. Mean out know.
1:17:51
Your. Cotton out can start over. Again
1:17:55
area going. just
1:17:58
so very
1:18:00
often we
1:18:03
can hear you man you're cut now and
1:18:13
all that cut out there and sorry all that cut
1:18:15
out we hear any of it uh...
1:18:19
elicia elicia super
1:18:23
chat says thank
1:18:25
you for helping me i'm struggling
1:18:28
with monasticism well
1:18:31
just uh... decide that with your
1:18:33
spiritual father roman twelve two protestant
1:18:35
say man-made tradition roman
1:18:38
twelve two says do not be conform to
1:18:40
this world uh...
1:18:43
be transformed by the renewing of your mind or what
1:18:45
is our set was that the deal with uh... man-made
1:18:49
traditions i don't get it uh... that wonky
1:18:51
boy three dollars thank you so much for
1:18:53
that appreciate it uh... how can
1:18:55
i respond to the romek out there uh...
1:18:59
that i shouldn't convert because before
1:19:02
fathers were fine uh...
1:19:04
i mean i don't understand this argument is all the
1:19:06
time so i what is
1:19:08
your forefathers have to do with whether that's
1:19:10
the true religion i mean should a buddhist
1:19:12
while my granddad was a buddhist uh... or
1:19:14
a satanist my granddad was a famous satanist
1:19:16
that's the religion of my family i was
1:19:19
just mindless argument i don't
1:19:21
get it uh... so if
1:19:23
your family members are interested in questioning
1:19:26
the the heritage
1:19:30
argument which is the fallacy
1:19:32
like just ask them say well
1:19:35
should uh... buddhist remain
1:19:37
a buddhist because his granddad was a
1:19:39
buddhist doesn't make any sense elijah
1:19:42
what's up i'm
1:19:47
you man i
1:19:51
have a couple questions about tag personal
1:19:56
so like i don't know if you saw father
1:19:58
deacon like debated the
1:20:01
two, like most friends or
1:20:03
most respectful atheists, I think that's what
1:20:05
the title was. They
1:20:07
brought like, one of them was Ambeer and he brought
1:20:09
up a point at the end, he was saying that
1:20:12
like. Yeah, did you, so we've already
1:20:14
addressed it in the paper. He wrote a paper addressing
1:20:16
this, we did it, we just did a podcast on
1:20:18
his paper. Okay,
1:20:20
sorry. I didn't see
1:20:22
like, I was like, I
1:20:25
still have the question after reading the paper
1:20:27
and watching the podcast. Yeah. I
1:20:32
don't know if I can, I don't know if I can
1:20:34
answer every question of his paper, but I'll answer the best
1:20:36
of mine, I'll let you go ahead. The
1:20:41
second one is, well, how
1:20:43
does tag-approved retinolatory use
1:20:46
them and not just
1:20:48
like intentional? Like, or how do we know? Because
1:20:51
all of the other elements are
1:20:53
assumed in the position of Christian
1:20:55
metaphysics and the Christian worldview. So
1:20:57
in other words, it's a package deal, an
1:21:00
argument for an entire paradigm. So it's not
1:21:02
an argument for one idea
1:21:04
about God being intentional, it's
1:21:06
the entire Christian paradigm that's assumed in the
1:21:08
argument. Okay,
1:21:13
so how is
1:21:15
the entire paradigm, like
1:21:18
how is that being proved by tag and not just?
1:21:22
The argument is for the paradigm, it's
1:21:24
for the Trinity and
1:21:26
the entire Christian revelation, it's an entire
1:21:28
argument, holistic.
1:21:32
Okay, I
1:21:34
think that's what you mean. It's not saying
1:21:36
that it's true because it's in the argument,
1:21:38
it's saying that the argument is for this
1:21:40
entire paradigm. Okay,
1:21:43
okay, I'm trying to do it for you. Oh, it
1:21:45
actually makes more sense, thank you so much. Yeah, you
1:21:47
can look at one
1:21:50
way to see this, which illustrates
1:21:52
the arguments in regard
1:21:54
to meta logic and
1:21:57
how that works is
1:21:59
the... the argument
1:22:01
that tab between the tortoise and Achilles are
1:22:03
you familiar with this okay
1:22:08
so this is a famous problem that Lewis
1:22:10
Carroll raised in his
1:22:12
it's sort of attached to through the
1:22:14
looking glass he was a mathematician and
1:22:19
he wrote this little essay
1:22:21
and it's about this
1:22:24
fictional dialogue between it's
1:22:27
called a paradox it's
1:22:29
a fictional dialogue between Achilles and a tortoise
1:22:32
and here's a video right here that
1:22:35
explains it from a philosophical
1:22:37
website what the tortoise said to Achilles
1:22:39
explained it's a five-minute video I
1:22:41
think that makes it really clear I just went
1:22:43
into this in a lot of detail with my
1:22:45
part two for analyzing
1:22:48
through the looking glass because in through
1:22:51
the looking glass there's a lot of areas
1:22:53
where Lewis Carroll does not just word play
1:22:55
but also number games
1:22:57
number play and number theory
1:23:00
and it starts to edge over into
1:23:02
the stuff that's
1:23:04
discussed by Douglas Hofstadter in girdel Escher
1:23:06
Bach and so it gets into the
1:23:08
strange loop stuff where he talks
1:23:10
about how the mathematical principles of the limitations
1:23:12
of set theory in girdel's
1:23:15
incompleteness theorems this
1:23:18
relates to the problem of the tortoise's argument
1:23:20
that you can actually show
1:23:23
that in affirming one statement
1:23:26
in terms of logic you're actually also
1:23:28
necessarily affirming an infinite set of statements
1:23:31
and so it ends up being an infinite loop
1:23:33
and it's a kind of paradox that's not
1:23:37
really solvable unless we admit that
1:23:39
there's limitations to first-order logic that's
1:23:41
the point that's the point of
1:23:43
why we were saying that the
1:23:45
sets eventually appeal out of themselves outside
1:23:47
themselves and when I brought up this
1:23:49
to one of those guys I forget which one he
1:23:52
said you can't bring in girdel's
1:23:54
incompleteness terms because that's different it's illustrating the
1:23:57
point that I'm making I'm not saying that
1:23:59
in is a transcendental
1:24:01
argument. I'm saying that it illustrates how
1:24:04
there's a limitation to first-order logic
1:24:06
when you ask metallurgical questions. This
1:24:09
also illustrates that. And you can go watch
1:24:11
this video as to see how that is
1:24:13
the case. It's called The Tortoise,
1:24:17
what the tortoise said to Achilles. Rock
1:24:22
Barcelos I'm
1:24:30
from Brazil, so sorry if
1:24:32
I have any difficulty communicating.
1:24:36
I'm a former atheist, and
1:24:43
I'm a non- I
1:24:52
got a list about
1:24:54
the arguments for God. But
1:25:00
I'm currently struggling
1:25:02
about evolution. And
1:25:04
to me, it's important to me
1:25:08
that I'm not a Christian, I'm
1:25:12
a Christian, and I'm a Christian.
1:25:14
And to
1:25:16
me- Well,
1:25:21
I don't really have much to say about that today.
1:25:23
It's not really evolution, but
1:25:28
I critique evolution from a philosophical perspective,
1:25:30
but I'm not trained in biology. Right,
1:25:33
right. So can
1:25:36
I ask something about
1:25:38
philosophical? Okay. Would
1:25:40
you say that the role of
1:25:43
evolution, the
1:25:52
belief in evolution in society today
1:25:56
is Somewhat-
1:26:00
The religious or heads or
1:26:02
the it please have a
1:26:04
function right? To.
1:26:08
Put she managed to down some
1:26:10
some out. The announcing that
1:26:12
I think that our basic level many
1:26:15
worth a lot Saints in the last
1:26:17
hundred years and one hundred and fifty
1:26:19
years have made this very point that
1:26:21
it degrades. Man turns him into an
1:26:23
animal, removes his dignity that was part
1:26:26
of the a demonic a purpose of
1:26:28
it. It has it's origins. Not enough
1:26:30
Huxley th Huxley, but rather in ancient
1:26:32
Hindu thought. So it's an ancient Hindu
1:26:35
mystical pagan religious concept In terms of
1:26:37
it's origins. right?
1:26:39
right? right?
1:26:42
So. As.
1:26:47
Books that you can. Yeah, so
1:26:49
the best I would be a
1:26:51

1:27:23
years. some ah some Hebrew roots, some
1:27:25
some opposition who would like to come
1:27:27
on and defend their position or some
1:27:29
areas ends are somehow if if you
1:27:32
gotta have a position that you disagree
1:27:34
if you're a Muslim. Easier if you're

whatever. Ah, really would prefer that

1:29:35
Your are now and hear your arguments. Whatever.
1:29:38
Your position is that's related to
1:29:40
the topic today. Ah again moment
1:29:42
we will seem to know what
1:29:44
an argument x is. Re
1:29:47
en un try again. Rails
1:29:50
silk or maybe even dinner. I'm over
1:29:52
her singers, some Ll Cool J analysts
1:29:54
who knows what to talk about. Merrily.
1:30:00
speak up. So
1:30:02
first this time. All right. Can you hear me
1:30:04
better? Yeah. Okay. I had
1:30:06
a question. So you'd often see
1:30:09
religious people. We
1:30:16
also have that starting point where we
1:30:18
say that God is good. Bro, you
1:30:20
keep cutting down there. Start over. Okay.
1:30:24
Okay. Did you hear the whole
1:30:26
thing at least? No. No,
1:30:28
none of it. Start over. Okay. Okay.
1:30:32
Let me start over. Okay. So
1:30:34
religious people often criticize atheists when it
1:30:36
comes to accounting for morality in
1:30:39
the office of God, right? Yeah. Got
1:30:42
it. Okay. When
1:30:44
they say that murder is objectively wrong, we don't
1:30:46
let them have that stance because if
1:30:48
God doesn't exist in morality, he has to be relative. But
1:30:51
I had the question that we also do make
1:30:54
a starting point, which is that God
1:30:56
is good and Satan is
1:30:58
bad. How do we make that judgment? We
1:31:02
also are making an axiomatic
1:31:04
presupposition when it comes to
1:31:06
believing that God is ultimately the good one. How
1:31:08
do we make that? Yeah.
1:31:10
We, we have, that's the point of the
1:31:12
transcendental argument of pre-subsial pre-subsitional argumentation is that
1:31:14
everybody has fundamental starting point axioms, but the
1:31:17
question is how do we give a holistic
1:31:19
account for those axioms? And the point is
1:31:21
that the atheist doesn't have an ability to
1:31:23
give an account for that in a justification
1:31:26
and our position does. So
1:31:28
we're not saying that we don't have presuppositions and
1:31:30
you do. We're saying we all
1:31:32
have presuppositions who can give an account for those
1:31:35
presuppositions. That's the tag argument. Right.
1:31:38
But why do we not let them have that stance
1:31:40
where murder is objectively wrong? Why do we not let
1:31:42
them have that? Because they
1:31:44
can't give an account for it. They
1:31:46
can't give a justification, but do you know what that means? I
1:31:50
understand. They cannot justify their argument.
1:31:52
Yeah. Yeah. So that's,
1:31:54
that's why. Yeah, man. Thank you
1:31:56
for now. Yeah. Yeah, man.
1:31:58
Thank you. So.
1:32:07
We. Still gotta room for. Ah,
1:32:11
I'm willing to reveal the haven't
1:32:14
called and yeah, if you have
1:32:16
a disagreement, if you have a
1:32:18
position on not Islam, dem position
1:32:21
on Heber Roots Black Heber, Israelites,
1:32:23
Anti Tryna trainers and Mormonism Jobs
1:32:25
Witnesses, Protestants, Evangelicals, Catholics, The
1:32:28
ever an argument the like to present
1:32:30
Islam, the Koran, It's.
1:32:34
An open for right now for you.
1:32:38
Looks like everybody's filter dominoes. anybody else
1:32:40
come in on acceptable that of our
1:32:42
to ask questions so not really. look
1:32:44
that is a Q and A again
1:32:46
guys. We've already done a lot a
1:32:48
Q and A tonight so we're giving
1:32:50
a position to the people that are
1:32:53
disagree. Next up is it's like Mick
1:32:55
Wilson would submit. Mit
1:32:59
wilson to like a Beach Boys.
1:33:08
Don't sound like much for
1:33:10
much. Just jumped on the
1:33:12
page. But. I'm. Like
1:33:15
a like to start a discussion i
1:33:17
just want to sign the lease was
1:33:19
the dumbest thing that's ever been installed
1:33:21
on name's. Sarah
1:33:23
down. For one hundred
1:33:25
percent. On so as to say
1:33:27
so and have know that include all beliefs
1:33:29
like believes in the Regularity of Nature laws
1:33:32
of logic to meme. All. Beliefs.
1:33:36
Pretty much yet. Completely
1:33:38
unnecessary. So I said. I believe in the
1:33:40
laws of logic. Or
1:33:45
a way to believe in him. And
1:33:47
when he said well you said all
1:33:49
beliefs so I exist. They
1:33:51
ceased rights said that if you
1:33:54
were down as. Well.
1:33:57
i don't have to believe in a flower I
1:34:00
can see it and prove it to myself. I don't have
1:34:02
to believe in the sun. I can
1:34:04
feel its effect. Well, hold
1:34:06
on a minute though. Maybe that's all
1:34:08
an illusion. How do you know it's
1:34:10
an external world? Because
1:34:14
I'm not an idiot. Well, I
1:34:16
mean, there's plenty of intelligent philosophers who don't
1:34:18
believe in an external world. So
1:34:24
let's just get back to, hang on. So let's
1:34:26
just get back to religion. Somebody
1:34:28
would just know the best rate for you is
1:34:30
a rate based on you with all-state. Not
1:34:32
one based on the driver who treats the highway like
1:34:34
a racetrack and the shoulder like
1:34:36
a passing lane. Why
1:34:38
pay a rate based on anyone else? Get
1:34:41
one based on you, this drive-wise from all-state.
1:34:44
Not available in Alaska or California, subject to terms and conditions,
1:34:46
rates are determined by several factors, which vary by state. In
1:34:48
some states, participation in drive-wise allows all states to use their
1:34:50
driving data for purposes of rating. While in some states, your
1:34:52
rate could increase with high-risk driving generally, safer drivers will save
1:34:54
with drive-wise. All-state, barren, casually, and turns coming into failure to
1:34:56
run speculonoi. Right.
1:34:59
Well, but I mean, you said all beliefs, so.
1:35:03
Sounds to me like you, my point is
1:35:05
that you have a religion too, it's just not
1:35:07
my religion. Well,
1:35:09
ask me if I know or I do not know.
1:35:13
What? So I
1:35:15
don't like the word belief. Do you
1:35:17
believe in foster's beer? So
1:35:21
if you, or let's just, all right, let's
1:35:23
just stick to religion, that's what you're talking
1:35:25
about. Well, my argument is that you have
1:35:27
a religion too, so. What's
1:35:30
my religion? Well, you believe in all these principles
1:35:32
that you can't justify, like that there's an external
1:35:34
world or that there's laws of logic. Laws
1:35:39
of logic, how
1:35:41
could, so what's
1:35:43
the law of logic I can't prove? The
1:35:46
law of identity. I
1:35:50
can't prove, you think I'm not,
1:35:53
so who's talking to you? Well,
1:35:55
I mean, where in the external world is the quote,
1:35:58
law of identity? Is
1:36:00
it physical? External
1:36:03
world? What do you mean by that?
1:36:08
Yeah, I give up. You win. Uh,
1:36:10
let's move on. Next up is... Pablo.
1:36:14
What's up, Pablo? Pablo
1:36:19
Escobar. What's up, man? You
1:36:21
get some of them kilos we sent? I
1:36:24
was... I was poking
1:36:26
that coca with my pointy
1:36:28
finger. Rubbing it on
1:36:31
my gums. What's up, Pablo? Yeah,
1:36:33
you keep shovelling it up your hooter,
1:36:35
my friend. Keep shovelling the white up
1:36:37
your hooter. And you'll sleep
1:36:40
like a baby. That
1:36:42
said, if you don't sleep, you can always get
1:36:44
into... If
1:36:46
you're stimulated enough, you can always get into...
1:36:49
Islam. You can go and study Islam. And...
1:36:54
I did tell me that it's a good thing for the world.
1:36:58
I don't see anything good coming out of that
1:37:00
theology. Yeah, there are many
1:37:02
things that dislike about... Christians.
1:37:08
The Christian religions, you
1:37:10
know, like Catholicism. And
1:37:13
all that. There are many things that despise
1:37:15
about that. But... When
1:37:19
I weigh all up... They
1:37:21
are... It's a much, much... More
1:37:25
positive thing for the world than Islam.
1:37:27
I don't see any positives
1:37:29
coming out of Islam. What do you see? No,
1:37:32
I've debated all the top Muslims. Except for
1:37:34
Mohammed Hijab. He's the only one we haven't
1:37:36
debated yet. And I would agree with that.
1:37:44
Is that all you had on your mind today? So,
1:37:47
you're not willing to have an argument and play
1:37:49
devil's advocate then? Well,
1:37:52
I'll play... I mean, I have a position
1:37:55
I'll defend. I don't know why would I play
1:37:57
devil's advocate for Islam. Well,
1:38:02
some people have. I mean, what's your position?
1:38:04
Yeah, but where are they now? Let's bring
1:38:06
them forth. I
1:38:09
mean, you're on here. What's your position? Well,
1:38:12
my position is, I've already stated my position.
1:38:15
I don't see... Okay, you don't like Islam,
1:38:17
but what's your position? Anything
1:38:19
positive that Islam is bringing to the... Okay,
1:38:21
well, that's not your own position. All right,
1:38:23
that is my position. But however, for the
1:38:27
sake of argument, I will play
1:38:29
devil's advocate and say the
1:38:31
best things as well. Okay, yeah, right. Well, we're
1:38:33
not looking for fake arguments. We're looking for people
1:38:35
who have actual positions that they want to defend.
1:38:38
So if you want
1:38:40
to come on and if you disagree with my
1:38:42
positions, if you're a Protestant, you're
1:38:44
a Catholic, you're a Muslim, you're an
1:38:47
atheist, you're a Joe's Witness, you're a
1:38:49
Mormon, you are
1:38:51
some other position, then request to speak. I'll
1:38:53
give you the mic. You can come on
1:38:55
and ask your question. We're looking for people
1:38:57
who disagree, who want to have a coherent,
1:39:02
reasoned debate in
1:39:04
exchange. And that
1:39:07
does not mean just telling me a
1:39:09
story. Okay, that's not why
1:39:11
your position is the case. If you have
1:39:13
a position in an argument, you're welcome to
1:39:15
bring it to the table. But
1:39:18
we're looking for people who disagree, not
1:39:20
for people who just want to tell me your opinions,
1:39:23
not interested in that. I'm interested in the
1:39:25
argument for your position. Why is your position
1:39:27
the case? Okay, maybe it is the case.
1:39:29
Maybe you've got the goods. Maybe
1:39:32
you can put me in my place. Well,
1:39:34
here is the chance you can have the
1:39:36
mic for as long as you'd like, within
1:39:40
reason, if you make an
1:39:42
argument. Making an argument is not
1:39:44
the same thing as arguing. An
1:39:47
argument means that you give a position with
1:39:49
supporting evidences or supporting
1:39:51
logical premise,
1:39:54
conclusion, etc. that
1:39:57
shows that your position is true. Why
1:40:00
do we need to believe your position? We
1:40:03
know you think your position is true. We don't
1:40:05
need you telling us that you think your position
1:40:07
is true. Obviously You're
1:40:10
here representing your position So
1:40:13
again, I know guys we got multiple
1:40:15
people who've already talked and
1:40:18
asked questions But they
1:40:20
didn't disagree and they don't have
1:40:22
a position to present so again
1:40:24
guys if you disagree, please
1:40:27
request to speak all these people requesting to speak
1:40:29
or people who agree or Just
1:40:31
want to tell me their opinions. Also, if
1:40:33
we're not interested in your opinions, it's not
1:40:35
that's not an argument and By
1:40:38
the way, there's a bunch of people in here Nobody
1:40:43
wants to come but there's no Muslims who can
1:40:45
present the argument People
1:40:49
in the chat so I'm scared I'm scared
1:40:54
Maybe we'll go ahead and I mean if nobody's gonna come home,
1:40:56
maybe we'll just call it a night I don't know. I
1:40:59
don't know. What do you guys think? Here comes somebody Horatio.
1:41:01
Oh here they come Let's
1:41:04
see emergent Emergence
1:41:08
system with an emergent system
1:41:16
Hey, how you doing? What's up man? So
1:41:19
I don't have an argument but this is a better
1:41:22
argument About
1:41:25
I think it's generally useless to argue
1:41:27
about religion Because
1:41:32
it doesn't change the
1:41:34
reality Your
1:41:42
then you already make this point a few minutes ago Somebody
1:41:47
make the same point. Yeah, okay
1:41:52
And so I mean, what
1:41:55
does it mean? What do you mean destroying the planet? What are you talking
1:41:57
about? you're
1:42:01
arguing about religion while
1:42:03
petroleum deposits are running out. Okay
1:42:07
and you believe in the peak oil scam?
1:42:11
It's really a scam,
1:42:13
it's a finite resource. Well
1:42:15
you think that but I mean I can point
1:42:17
you to the people who dreamt up the scam
1:42:19
talking about how they would dream it up. So
1:42:24
you believe it's a renewable resource? It would
1:42:26
seem to be, I can't prove that but
1:42:28
it seems to be that. But
1:42:30
you believe that? Correct. It's infinite for
1:42:32
you. A lot of it's infinite
1:42:34
but it seems to be renewable yes. Well let's
1:42:36
think about this. Let's logically. No let's think about
1:42:39
the origins of the peak oil. No let's think
1:42:41
it now let's think about the origins
1:42:43
of peak oil do you know where it comes from?
1:42:47
You're not going to talk about I'm
1:42:49
discussing peak oil where does it come from? Yeah
1:42:52
I'm making a point about how you
1:42:54
don't know where peak oil comes from.
1:42:56
That's sophistry asking you a question to
1:42:58
know where this idea
1:43:02
comes from is sophistry. No I want to talk about peak oil.
1:43:04
You brought it up. You
1:43:11
brought it up. You said
1:43:13
petroleum deposits are going, all
1:43:15
right you're just as ridiculous.
1:43:18
Some of them are. You're
1:43:22
not gonna answer the question then we're gonna move
1:43:24
on. Let's see Horatio what's up? And
1:43:28
that was that exact same dude that was on
1:43:30
before was his nonsense. He
1:43:35
said the exact same thing as the other guy trying to pretend like
1:43:37
he wasn't the same dude. I'm
1:43:40
on mute.
1:43:45
Hello. What's up? Hello
1:43:48
Mr. Dyer. Yeah I'm a fan
1:43:50
of yours. I love your content.
1:43:53
I have
1:43:57
something to say. Regarding
1:44:00
all the religions in
1:44:02
the world, how quickly
1:44:06
can we logically
1:44:08
deduce that Christianity
1:44:16
is correct? What's
1:44:18
your account of logic? Well,
1:44:23
I would say that logic
1:44:26
is...I had grown logic in
1:44:29
the Christian God. I
1:44:32
would say logic is immaterial. It's not
1:44:34
something that's changeable that we can actually experience
1:44:39
in physical sense, but
1:44:41
we know there... Okay.
1:44:44
Well, I mean, that's my move, so where
1:44:46
are we disagreeing? So that's the same argument
1:44:48
I would make. Well,
1:44:51
I would say, I mean, because I know
1:44:53
that Islam makes a similar
1:44:56
type of argument to say that they
1:44:58
ground truth and Allah, but... Well,
1:45:02
I mean, but they're also empiricists, so how's
1:45:04
that going to work? I mean, unless they're
1:45:06
like Shia Islam, I mean, the
1:45:08
rest of them are empiricists.
1:45:11
So how are you going to ground it in a thing that you never
1:45:13
experienced? Well,
1:45:16
I understand what you're saying, and that is a good
1:45:18
point. But that's...I
1:45:21
don't really disagree with you in any
1:45:23
thing. Okay. Well,
1:45:26
appreciate that. I'm going to...you're cutting out a
1:45:28
little bit, so we're going to go
1:45:30
over here to Zionist something. Go
1:45:40
ahead. Make
1:45:43
sure it's on topic. We're not talking about geopolitics today.
1:45:48
Thank you, sir. Yes, sir. I
1:45:51
started listening, you guys. I'm just getting a
1:45:54
feel for it. I've never seen you
1:45:56
before. But
1:45:58
somebody mentioned religion. and what
1:46:01
I heard
1:46:04
his question was how do we know Christian
1:46:08
was the correct religion that what he
1:46:11
asked well he started with that but
1:46:13
then he was basically saying I agree with all your
1:46:15
positions so we I was
1:46:17
moving on because I was looking for people who disagreed
1:46:21
okay I
1:46:26
feel I can't defend Judaism without
1:46:29
destroying somebody else's faith in their
1:46:31
religion but my
1:46:33
question would be to rhetorical question
1:46:35
no need to answer it but
1:46:39
every person needs to think about it
1:46:43
Judaism was founded upon
1:46:45
a shim
1:46:47
coming to the
1:46:50
people as a
1:46:52
nation as a whole and
1:46:55
given them a choice
1:46:58
to follow him and then well then
1:47:00
it began with like
1:47:03
a family and then a tribe yes
1:47:06
but out my mouth he
1:47:09
gave the 10 command I'm aware but I'm
1:47:11
saying that he appeared to Abraham which is
1:47:14
before my mother yes
1:47:16
but my point is
1:47:18
you know it led up to that
1:47:21
but at Mount Sinai I shouldn't
1:47:25
reveal himself to a whole nation at
1:47:27
once one
1:47:29
other religion can say that thank
1:47:32
you yeah
1:47:35
I mean I think as a Christian we would
1:47:37
agree with that but what
1:47:41
are you a evangelical are
1:47:43
you a Hebrew roots messianic
1:47:46
believer or something no
1:47:50
I'm I'm
1:47:53
Jewish I converted from Southern
1:47:56
Baptist US and
1:47:59
my point is, you
1:48:03
know, Judaism was
1:48:05
first. God
1:48:08
does not change. He says
1:48:10
he is never changing. So
1:48:13
if he came to the Jewish people,
1:48:16
why would he change more
1:48:20
than your testament? Well, I mean, does
1:48:23
God appear in the Old Testament as
1:48:25
a Unitarian deity or as more
1:48:27
than one? It
1:48:32
plainly states he
1:48:34
is singular in his entity. He
1:48:37
has multiple aspects just
1:48:39
like you have an angry side to
1:48:41
you, you have a joyous So
1:48:45
who appeared to Abraham? As
1:48:49
him. So God
1:48:53
has a form? He
1:48:57
can be in multiple spots at once.
1:49:01
So when the Psalms in Psalm
1:49:03
110, who's talking to who in
1:49:06
that Messianic Psalm? I'm
1:49:10
not familiar with that. So you
1:49:12
converted out of the religion when you appear
1:49:14
to not be familiar with the
1:49:16
fact that even in the Old Testament
1:49:18
there's multiplicity to Yahweh? I
1:49:21
don't have anything memorized. That's what I'm saying. Well,
1:49:23
you don't feel like you don't know anything about
1:49:25
it. So
1:49:28
you can quote the Bible, any verse,
1:49:30
any chapter, and tell exactly what it's
1:49:32
talking about? Is
1:49:34
that an argument? I mean, I mean,
1:49:36
I'm basically pointing out that in many places we
1:49:38
have an angel of the Lord who's called Yahweh.
1:49:40
Who's the angel of the Lord that
1:49:44
appears? I just
1:49:46
gave an opinion and
1:49:48
like I said, I cannot. There's been
1:49:51
Judaism but no word is down. Okay.
1:49:54
Moving on. Luke,
1:49:58
what's up? Yes, sir. Hey,
1:50:08
I was
1:50:11
just going to ask if you had
1:50:13
any good book recommendations for like Trinitarian
1:50:16
theology, just to get like a good
1:50:18
Orthodox understanding. I
1:50:21
mean, yeah, you
1:50:24
could read On the Orthodox Faith by
1:50:26
John Damascus. You could read anything
1:50:32
by like St. Maximus. You
1:50:34
could read anything by St.
1:50:38
Gregory Palamas' Triads. I
1:50:41
got the Cosmic Mystery one, so I'm going
1:50:43
to read the Triads. All right. Thank
1:50:46
you, sir. Yeah. House
1:50:48
of something, house of
1:50:51
blim something. Hello,
1:50:59
Mr. Dyer. Yeah. I was wondering
1:51:01
about, I heard in another
1:51:09
argument before, I was
1:51:12
wondering, I was wondering
1:51:16
about the miracles, Eucharistic miracles, and you, how
1:51:18
do I say it? Yeah,
1:51:37
so the Orthodox Church doesn't have the same
1:51:40
view of Eucharistic miracles. The
1:51:42
Orthodox Church stops the service if something
1:51:44
like this happens, because we don't want
1:51:46
to fall into pre-list. But
1:51:49
miracles don't prove or disprove the position anyway.
1:51:53
But Jesus proved
1:51:56
his godness by
1:51:59
adding. By showing the
1:52:01
miracles by eating the miracles attest to
1:52:03
the position they don't prove it they're
1:52:05
they're like attestations But they obviously themselves
1:52:07
they can't prove it and Jesus himself
1:52:09
says that you seek for a sign
1:52:11
and then we'll be given To you
1:52:13
a wicked generation seeks signs But
1:52:17
by do those miracles happens do you
1:52:20
recognize No,
1:52:25
we do we don't have any we don't make
1:52:28
any statement on that because that how
1:52:30
would a mirror how would a How would
1:52:32
a miracle claim prove a position if
1:52:35
every religious view claims miracles?
1:52:37
It's just not obvious that that would be a fallacy.
1:52:40
You don't see why that wouldn't work There's
1:52:45
something different because the really does
1:52:48
happen Some
1:52:50
people just know the best way for you is a
1:52:52
rate based on you with all stuff Not
1:52:55
one based on the driver who treats the highway
1:52:57
like a racetrack and the shoulder like a
1:52:59
passing lane While pay
1:53:01
a rate based on anyone else get one
1:53:03
based on you this driveway Not
1:53:06
available in Alaska, California subject to terms and conditions rates
1:53:09
are determined by several factors Which vary by state and some
1:53:11
states participation in drive-wise allows all state to use your driving
1:53:13
data for purposes of rating while in some states Your rate
1:53:15
could increase with high-risk driving generally safer drivers will save the
1:53:17
drive-wise all state-bearing casualty insurance company in Philly, North Park, Illinois
1:53:22
It's not a difference not different The
1:53:24
point is that they don't prove the
1:53:26
position miracles will accompany the correct faith
1:53:29
and position But miracle
1:53:32
claims are everywhere so
1:53:34
they can't prove the position Thomas I
1:53:50
Know what's up, man? I Was
1:53:54
just gonna ask about your opinion on the
1:53:56
Antiochian Church, basically pretty
1:53:59
general question Well, I mean, I'm not
1:54:01
trying to be rude, but like today is debate topic
1:54:03
of the topics listed. What about it?
1:54:09
Just whether they're going to appreciate your part of the
1:54:11
Russian Orthodox Church. I
1:54:14
suppose because the Metropolitan
1:54:16
of the UK, Siloam,
1:54:19
he recently excommunicated someone because
1:54:21
they rebaptized someone from
1:54:23
another, you know, what they consider a
1:54:25
heretic. When he said that cosmation is
1:54:28
the only necessary thing for someone provided they've been
1:54:30
baptized in the name of the Trinity. I'm
1:54:33
just curious about your position on that because
1:54:35
I'm thinking, I think I
1:54:38
might be wrong with this before the piece is here,
1:54:40
so it's about how there should be rebaptized basically. And,
1:54:43
you know, if someone like Siloam would suggest that that's kind of a
1:54:45
schismatic way of looking at it, but... Yeah,
1:54:48
I mean, the the the ROCOR
1:54:50
position is that the local bishop
1:54:53
determines that and we do not
1:54:55
de facto accept everybody's
1:54:58
sacraments just because they were performed in a certain
1:55:00
way. So I believe in a
1:55:02
economy. I believe the church makes that
1:55:04
decision. And I think you should just listen
1:55:07
to your local bishop. So
1:55:09
that's my take. Today's
1:55:15
topics are disagreements on Catholics,
1:55:18
Protestants, atheists, Muslims. I'm
1:55:20
not looking for Q&A. I mean, we've
1:55:22
done about three hours of Q&A. So
1:55:26
I'm looking for people who disagree. You want to present an argument.
1:55:28
Ethereal Gnosis. Greetings.
1:55:40
With I with I added your members up. Greetings. I hadn't been listening to the full time. I was hoping
1:55:42
to catch it earlier, but I kind of wanted to introduce something. I'm not sure if it was interd introduced
1:56:01
within the context of the topic.
1:56:05
Okay, on the etc version. I
1:56:08
what all of these all of
1:56:10
these Catholic Protestant outside of atheist
1:56:12
Muslim, etc. Most of these, etc.
1:56:15
They seem to all come from an initial
1:56:17
source, etc. What are you talking about? Well,
1:56:21
things other than those listed, right?
1:56:23
We have there's lots of different
1:56:25
branches of Orthodoxy, hundreds of Protestants.
1:56:27
There's different branches and I
1:56:29
there's not a lot of branches
1:56:31
of Orthodoxy. So I don't know what you mean. Well,
1:56:34
there's there's there's there's Coptic. There's Greek. There's
1:56:37
I mean, there's there are several. Those aren't
1:56:39
branches of Orthodoxy. Greeks are in communion with
1:56:41
the rest of the Orthodox Copics aren't. Touché,
1:56:45
Touché. What
1:56:48
I what I thought to introduce was
1:56:50
the idea that perhaps
1:56:52
Jesus was was was
1:56:55
actually authentically Jewish like like all of
1:56:57
his followers and he was. Yeah, we
1:56:59
believe that. So what about it? Well,
1:57:02
why is it that he wouldn't teach
1:57:06
his followers to have the religion of him
1:57:08
rather than a religion about him that was
1:57:10
founded long after his I mean, have you
1:57:12
read the Gospels? He says for example in
1:57:15
Luke 24 that all the stuff in Moses
1:57:17
in the prophets in the Psalms is about
1:57:19
him. I
1:57:21
concur I would I would concur with that.
1:57:23
I don't well that contradicts what you just
1:57:26
said. So how could you concur with that?
1:57:29
I concur that it is about him. That doesn't that
1:57:31
you just said it's not about him. That
1:57:35
means that you just said it's not about
1:57:37
him. No, I religion
1:57:39
that is the religion.
1:57:41
He had Judaism that he had was
1:57:43
he just said the Judaism is about
1:57:45
him. It is
1:57:47
and I agree. He just said
1:57:50
that that's not true Christianity. You just said
1:57:52
that's not true. What are you talking about?
1:57:55
I may have misspoken. Okay in my
1:57:58
haste what I'm trying.
1:58:00
express as the
1:58:02
difference between his religion
1:58:04
and a religion that was formed posthumously.
1:58:07
Yeah that's false. Yeah that didn't happen. It's
1:58:09
not true. Why
1:58:12
is it that all of his followers
1:58:16
continue to observe Jewish customs?
1:58:20
I mean in the book of Acts this is
1:58:22
explained by Acts 15. Well
1:58:25
what's explained is actually they're
1:58:27
talking about certain
1:58:29
prohibitions that were against
1:58:32
the Torah, against the law, which he...
1:58:34
No they weren't. Acts 15 says that
1:58:36
we should not require anything more than
1:58:38
what Noah had to do in
1:58:40
the Noeia covenant and so the reasoning of Acts
1:58:43
15 is based on Noah. Well
1:58:45
yes the Jerusalem Council but what we're
1:58:48
talking about what he said was then
1:58:50
they should go and learn and you'll
1:58:52
find the four things that are required,
1:58:54
three of them are dietary firstly and
1:58:57
then there's sexual immorality. What we're noticing
1:58:59
is this is the requirement.
1:59:01
It doesn't say this is all that one
1:59:03
needs to do. Yeah we would agree. I
1:59:05
don't know what you're talking about. I don't
1:59:07
know what you're talking about because we don't
1:59:10
say that you only have to follow four
1:59:12
things from the Noeia covenant to be in
1:59:14
the church. The Jerusalem Council which you're
1:59:16
mentioning was brought to James and
1:59:18
James declared there were four things
1:59:21
which a man must do. I just agreed with
1:59:23
that. I know and there's more. I know. Have
1:59:25
you read the book of okay
1:59:29
have you read the book of Hebrews? Okay
1:59:32
what does this say? What
1:59:34
does this say about what
1:59:36
we're talking about? No
1:59:41
about all of the Judaic stuff that you want to include
1:59:43
which is what Acts 15 is really
1:59:49
about which is that Gentiles don't have to become
1:59:51
Jews to be saved. I
1:59:54
would concur with that but it
1:59:56
does. Acts 15 does seem to
1:59:58
state that they
2:00:01
must attend... it actually says
2:00:03
synagogue on Shabbat, doesn't it? But
2:00:07
the point is that they are there to
2:00:09
go and learn the Torah. Hold on. So
2:00:11
what you don't... listen, what you don't understand
2:00:13
is that what's happening in
2:00:15
Acts is part of a transitionary period.
2:00:18
So what the book of Hebrews in part
2:00:20
is talking about is 70 AD, which is
2:00:22
the destruction of the temple. Jesus talked about
2:00:24
this in Luke 21 and Matthew 24, that
2:00:26
when you see the temple destroyed, that's the
2:00:28
sign that the fullness of the Old Covenant...
2:00:30
let me finish. If you don't stop interrupting
2:00:32
me, I'm gonna boot you. The Old
2:00:36
Covenant is done when the temple is destroyed
2:00:38
in 70 AD. That's what
2:00:40
Luke 21 is talking about. So
2:00:42
yes, there are things that happen in the
2:00:44
middle of the book of Acts where there's
2:00:47
still temples and synagogues before Christianity has
2:00:49
been booted from the synagogue. And
2:00:51
so that's the point you're missing
2:00:53
is that the New Covenant is
2:00:56
fully finally there and realized by
2:00:58
70 AD. That's the point. I
2:01:03
fully agree with you in that. I
2:01:05
believe the kingdom was established at that point fully
2:01:08
fully. But I don't
2:01:10
see how that negates the responsibility
2:01:12
to learn the Torah, even outside
2:01:14
of the synagogue.
2:01:16
It seems that observing...
2:01:18
I don't know. We read this every day
2:01:21
in the church, so I don't know what
2:01:23
you're talking about. Well,
2:01:25
the Torah is more than just
2:01:27
reading. It's about observing the commandments.
2:01:29
There's 613 of them. We should
2:01:32
strive to keep each of those that apply
2:01:34
to us. Yeah, again, you
2:01:36
don't even understand that the Jewish
2:01:38
law itself was never intended for
2:01:40
the nations. It's intended for the
2:01:42
Jewish people. So when the
2:01:44
Messiah comes, the Messiah decides and his church
2:01:46
decides what elements are necessary for the Gentiles.
2:01:48
So no, we don't keep all of the
2:01:51
laws that can't even be kept. It doesn't
2:01:53
even make sense to keep them. When
2:01:55
half of those laws apply to the land of Israel, which can't
2:01:57
be be
2:02:00
kept by Gentiles it makes no sense it's not even
2:02:02
the Jewish and intention of the law you
2:02:04
just said 613 of them 613 laws don't apply to Gentiles
2:02:06
I agree I agree
2:02:18
but of those 613 many
2:02:20
do and to be entered
2:02:22
into covenant okay this is
2:02:24
all of
2:02:27
this is all of this is missing the
2:02:29
point all this is missing the point that
2:02:31
whatever you're talking about is not Orthodox Christianity
2:02:33
that's the only church that exists so let's
2:02:35
just cut to the chase like what group
2:02:38
are you a part of okay
2:02:57
so hold on so in Isaiah and Isaiah 49
2:02:59
and 50 it says that
2:03:02
when the Messiah comes
2:03:09
nations will begin to convert Kings
2:03:11
and Queens will worship the Jewish
2:03:13
Messiah do you think that happened
2:03:16
in the first second third fourth
2:03:18
fifth sixth seventh century
2:03:21
and what how were those people worshiping no
2:03:27
totally not true no idea what you're talking about
2:03:29
how would you so you think that in the
2:03:31
first second third fourth fifth sixth seventh century that
2:03:34
the church was it works being secret you
2:03:37
think you don't know what you're talking
2:03:42
about do you think we can read those people do you think
2:03:44
we can go read those people and their beliefs
2:03:50
no idea is what you're talking about Rome burning a
2:03:55
book what are you talking about history which slow mo
2:03:57
pines give us a lot of what we have to
2:03:59
do Can you can you read what
2:04:01
the Christians of the first second and third century taught and
2:04:04
believe? Because
2:04:18
that's one church father who else I've
2:04:24
read Clement. Yeah. Have you read any of these people? I
2:04:27
have very well. I mean you've read you've read wait
2:04:29
a minute. You've read you've read them very well. Okay,
2:04:31
well Well,
2:04:38
I don't we don't believe Clement is a saint
2:04:40
he's not accepted in our church He's relevant as
2:04:42
a historical figure, but I'm talking about the church
2:04:44
fathers the first second third century line what they
2:04:46
believed Have you read any of them? Just
2:04:57
understand I don't follow or believe any of that like
2:04:59
I said, I'm a Jew Well,
2:05:01
hold on So but what I'm the point I'm
2:05:03
making is that we can figure out what? the
2:05:06
Christians of the first second third fourth fifth century believe
2:05:08
by going and reading these people and It
2:05:10
shows that you're not even letting me finish it
2:05:12
shows that It shows
2:05:14
that they are doing and fulfilling the
2:05:16
types of things predicted for example in
2:05:19
Isaiah 49 and 50 where we're told
2:05:22
That Gentile Kings will become
2:05:24
priests and worship the Jewish Messiah So
2:05:27
that happens in those centuries we can
2:05:29
go read those people and they believe
2:05:32
what Orthodox Christians today believe Well,
2:05:37
but how do you have it read them so, how do you know they don't Like
2:05:46
who I
2:05:48
mentioned Jerome. I mentioned Clement. Oh Jerome.
2:05:50
What is what is your own belief?
2:06:00
carrying the original Nazarene in
2:06:02
Hebrew. Like he reports that
2:06:04
the original Nazarenes observed
2:06:06
the Sabbath and followed the law
2:06:08
of Moses and like
2:06:10
there is record of this group
2:06:13
of people that existed prior to
2:06:15
Christians. There was even a
2:06:17
debate of whether the word Christian should be
2:06:19
used or crepian. Okay so when when
2:06:22
the minor prophets when the minor
2:06:24
prophets talk about the Gentile nations
2:06:26
offering up a pure sacrifice and
2:06:28
incense to the God of Israel
2:06:30
and when Isaiah talks about Gentile priests
2:06:33
who is that? It's
2:06:35
in your face it's staring you in the face all of this
2:06:37
stuff. They're
2:06:40
talking about converts clearly but what I'm
2:06:42
and that is our so
2:06:44
we were talking about the first three century
2:06:46
church correct that's them. No that's
2:06:49
like Isaiah you're talking about Isaiah prophesying.
2:06:51
I hear you. Are you being so
2:06:53
selfish? You know what I'm saying here.
2:06:55
You're neglecting the
2:06:57
actual fathers that you
2:06:59
chose to bring up. I'm neglecting them.
2:07:02
No you haven't read them. That's the
2:07:04
point. Those are the Gentile priests that
2:07:06
fulfill these prophecies that offer the sacrifice
2:07:09
of the Eucharist. That's them. It
2:07:14
just seems like you're avoiding. I'm
2:07:16
not avoiding anything. You said as
2:07:18
a Gentile you said I
2:07:21
don't understand the text. I'm
2:07:25
right here in Isaiah 49 and
2:07:27
50 where it prophesies Gentile priests. It prophesies
2:07:29
that that's the end of Isaiah 65 or
2:07:32
66. I hear you and
2:07:34
I would say that
2:07:36
we see that with Paul going out
2:07:38
and start preaching
2:07:40
to the Gentile. Exactly. And guess
2:07:42
what? Hold on. So
2:07:45
after that period when
2:07:47
Jesus says in Matthew 16 that the church
2:07:49
the gates of hell would not prevail against
2:07:51
the church. It's that group
2:07:53
that has the extension of that gift of
2:07:56
Pentecost that goes out and anoints Gentiles to
2:07:58
be part of that covenant. covenant. So
2:08:00
the church that exists in the
2:08:03
first, second, third century is the
2:08:05
same group from Pentecost. There's not
2:08:07
a false... That was overcome by
2:08:10
Marcus and this was not acceptable.
2:08:13
What? Overcome by Marcus. I don't know
2:08:15
what you're talking about. What are you even talking about?
2:08:18
I'm talking about when the authentic Nazarenes women...
2:08:20
Yeah, you're wrong. That's not the church.
2:08:22
I'm showing you how there's no authentic
2:08:25
Nazarene sect. I'm showing you that the
2:08:27
Gentile kings and queens that are prophesied
2:08:29
in Isaiah 49 and 50, they're not
2:08:31
Nazarenes. They're the people in the first,
2:08:33
second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh century
2:08:35
that convert the Roman Empire and the
2:08:38
other nations to worship the God of
2:08:40
Israel. So
2:08:43
we're just going to avoid
2:08:46
that that is the organization
2:08:48
of Constantine that brought the ecumenical Rome.
2:08:50
It's all bullshit. What you believe is bullshit.
2:08:53
There is no changed church of Constantine. That's
2:08:55
why when you read the first church fathers,
2:08:57
the first, second, third century, they teach the
2:08:59
same thing as the church fathers after Constantine.
2:09:02
But you haven't read them and you've evidenced that in
2:09:04
your discussion that you haven't read them because you would
2:09:06
know that they don't teach anything different. I
2:09:10
mean, they absolutely do. No, they don't because how would
2:09:13
you know if you haven't read them? How would you
2:09:15
know if you haven't read them? You took a day
2:09:17
over and over and over the... How would you know
2:09:19
if you said, I can tell
2:09:21
you haven't read them. So how would you know they changed
2:09:23
the doctrine after Constantine? Because they were
2:09:25
still debating over the Trinity at this point.
2:09:27
Having a debate does not prove that the
2:09:29
doctrines changed. They didn't have
2:09:31
a doctrine. There wasn't... Oh, wait a
2:09:33
minute. So you think the post-apostalt fathers
2:09:35
don't teach the Trinity? I
2:09:39
know that it took a while for them
2:09:41
to get there because initially... Yeah,
2:09:45
I've done an entire
2:09:47
lecture with inspiring
2:09:49
philosophy on the post-apostalt fathers teaching
2:09:51
the Trinity. Actually,
2:09:56
I'm sure to review that.
2:09:58
I follow you Jay. I
2:10:00
really appreciate all of your listening. You should go watch
2:10:03
the inspiring philosophy talk where we rebut
2:10:05
the Muslim argument that the church fathers
2:10:07
of the first, second, third century don't
2:10:09
teach the Trinity. We did a whole
2:10:11
two hour talk on just first and
2:10:13
second century fathers on the Trinity. So
2:10:15
they teach the deity of Christ, they
2:10:18
teach the personhood of the Holy Spirit
2:10:20
and his deity. It's all before Constantine.
2:10:22
There's no new Christianity that Constantine invented.
2:10:24
It's not true. Well, I agree. We
2:10:26
have Simon Magus in
2:10:28
the first century here. In Clement's writings,
2:10:30
arguing against Peter with that very same
2:10:33
thing. But you find Peter stands
2:10:35
upon monotheism purely.
2:10:40
Okay, so monotheism, this is wrong.
2:10:42
This is wrong. If you look
2:10:44
up what monarchical Trinitarianism is, because
2:10:46
if you look at this video
2:10:49
I did where the introductory debate
2:10:51
with Daniel Hakekocho, I
2:10:53
proved from modern Jewish scholarship that
2:10:56
there's no such thing as a
2:10:58
generic Unitarian monotheism. Modern Jewish
2:11:00
scholars are more and more admitting, hey,
2:11:02
it actually looks like there's a triad
2:11:04
in the Old Testament. I
2:11:08
mean, that just sounds like a brief story
2:11:10
to us. I don't think that- Some
2:11:13
people just know the best rate for you is a
2:11:15
rate based on you with all skills. Not
2:11:18
one based on the driver who treats the highway like
2:11:20
a racetrack and the shoulder like a
2:11:22
passing lane. Why pay a
2:11:24
rate based on anyone else? Get one
2:11:26
based on you with drive-wise from our state.
2:11:29
Not available in Alaska or California, subject to terms and conditions,
2:11:31
rates are determined by several factors, which vary by state. In
2:11:33
some states, participation in drive-wise allows all states to use your
2:11:35
driving data for purposes of riding. While in some states your
2:11:37
rate could increase with high-risk driving, generally, safer drivers will save
2:11:39
with drive-wise. All state-bearing casualty insurance coming into Philly's North Park,
2:11:42
Illinois. The rabbis
2:11:44
that I cite here are not all
2:11:46
reformed or reconstructionist Jews. So we're talking
2:11:48
about multiple different scholars and you can
2:11:50
just go read them. It's Boyarin, it's
2:11:52
Summers, it's Siegel. They're all
2:11:55
talking about how it's
2:11:57
clearly the case that in multiple
2:11:59
texts, It's not just Unitarian. Who's
2:12:01
this manifestation throughout the Old Testament
2:12:03
prophets? It's
2:12:06
Jesus. First off, I'm not. I
2:12:09
because of the truth of the debate, I will. I
2:12:12
there is the idea of the
2:12:14
Memora. All right. We have there's
2:12:16
there are Jewish concepts that do
2:12:18
not equate to deity. The personifications
2:12:20
and knowledge. Okay. Can you think
2:12:22
these things are standard?
2:12:26
Euphemism. The
2:12:28
problem is that the problem is that when
2:12:31
these theophanis appear, they're called Yahweh and they're
2:12:33
worshipped. So how is it worshipped? And
2:12:35
by the way, if you believe in it, worship
2:12:38
the word means bow. No, no, you can't.
2:12:42
God says I don't give my name to it. I
2:12:44
don't give my name to another. And yet
2:12:46
in Exodus, we're told that the name of
2:12:48
God, you're not even letting me finish. The
2:12:50
name of Yahweh is in the angel that
2:12:52
goes before him in Exodus 23. So
2:12:55
how can the King? King
2:12:58
who held his name. That's
2:13:00
not that's not saying that the name
2:13:02
of Yahweh is in the angel of the Lord and he's
2:13:05
called the red. You're taking a
2:13:07
euphemism and turning it into something. So
2:13:09
you don't believe in the so you're
2:13:11
an anti-trinitarian. So that's the point. You're
2:13:13
anti-trinitarian even though multiple times the Messiah
2:13:15
is given the name Yahweh. Right.
2:13:19
No. So Jesus is not called Yahweh.
2:13:22
Never. Okay. What does Hebrews 1 say
2:13:25
citing the Psalms about the Son of
2:13:27
God? Just
2:13:30
quote it for me. So you said,
2:13:32
well, you said Hebrews does a lot of things. It
2:13:35
does. I haven't memorized the entire thing. You
2:13:37
have a verse in mind. You should mention
2:13:39
it. The totality of Hebrews 1 is about
2:13:41
the superiority of the Son of God, the
2:13:44
eternal Son of God, to the
2:13:46
angels because he created all the angels.
2:13:49
Are you familiar with this or not? I
2:13:52
am familiar with this interpretation. That's
2:13:54
not an interpretation. It's multiple texts
2:13:56
that are cited from the Psalms.
2:13:58
God is the Son of God. to it various times and
2:14:01
in various ways spoke to us and passed by
2:14:03
the prophets has in these last days spoken to
2:14:05
us via his son whom he anointed
2:14:07
the heir of all things through whom he
2:14:09
made the world so God created the world
2:14:11
through his son okay that means that he's
2:14:13
not a Nazarene Arian creation he's the second
2:14:15
person of the Godhead who being
2:14:18
the brightness of his glory being created through
2:14:26
you don't
2:14:28
even know what is in Hebrews 1 which is a
2:14:30
passage about defending the deity of Christ and you're here
2:14:33
trying to argue with me over the word through not
2:14:38
the Aramaic word listen the whole force of the
2:14:40
passage is that Jesus is the creator of the
2:14:43
world as John 1 says it's playing on what
2:14:45
you haven't even read
2:14:49
John 1 John in the beginning was the word
2:14:51
the word was with God the word was God
2:14:54
and the world was created through him all things
2:14:56
that came to be were created by him and
2:14:58
for him and nothing came to be that he
2:15:00
didn't create is what the passage is saying it
2:15:03
goes on to say no it's not no no that's
2:15:05
what you have
2:15:11
to say to have your heresy to get away from
2:15:13
the fact that the entirety of Hebrews 1 says that
2:15:16
the Son of God created the angels he's superior to
2:15:18
the angels you don't think that's the force of that
2:15:20
passage that's the point of it no
2:15:24
it was he was that he was
2:15:26
everything was created no not
2:15:28
by him not not with his hands
2:15:30
but but that's not no that's the
2:15:32
opposite of what the passage says he
2:15:34
is the creator of the world that's
2:15:36
what John 1 says and
2:15:39
that's why the whole argument is that he's not
2:15:41
like an angel because he created the angels that's
2:15:43
the whole argument of Hebrews 1 it just
2:15:47
seems like heresy honestly the idea that there
2:15:53
could be another God when
2:15:55
Jesus it's not another God because you don't
2:15:58
understand that the word God itself Well, have
2:16:00
you read the book of John? Have
2:16:11
you read the book of John? Have
2:16:13
you read the book of John? Yes.
2:16:16
Okay. Every chapter of the book of John
2:16:18
includes either or both
2:16:21
an argument for his full deity or
2:16:23
for the Trinity. In fact, in
2:16:25
multiple cases, he says that he's equal to the
2:16:27
Father. He does the same works as the Father.
2:16:31
And the fact... Everything you're... He
2:16:33
sees it so bad. No, so right. Can I just bring out
2:16:35
one person? No. One person. No,
2:16:38
we're done. Because all of this is about the
2:16:41
basics of the deity of Christ, which
2:16:43
you can't stomach because you don't want to
2:16:45
believe it. And we're
2:16:48
going to go through Hebrews for
2:16:54
the sake of the audience so that
2:16:57
you see my point here. God,
2:17:00
who at various times and in various ways,
2:17:02
spoken times past to the fathers by the
2:17:04
prophets, has in these last days
2:17:06
spoken to us by his son, whom he appointed the
2:17:08
heir of all things, through
2:17:11
whom also he made the worlds, and
2:17:14
being the brightness of his glory.
2:17:17
So God's glory cannot be likened to
2:17:19
creatures. The Son is the
2:17:22
brightness of his glory. In
2:17:26
whom he has appointed the heir of all... Excuse me. The
2:17:28
express image of his hypostasis of his person. You
2:17:31
can't make images of God. And yet this says
2:17:33
that the Son is the direct icon of the
2:17:35
Father. When
2:17:41
he had by himself purged our sins, sat down
2:17:43
the right hand of the majesty on high, that's
2:17:45
the ascension. Having
2:17:48
become much more excellent than the angels
2:17:50
through the incarnation and ascension, for
2:17:54
which of the angels did God ever say, you are
2:17:56
my son, today I've begotten you? This
2:17:59
is Hebrews. arguing that the father
2:18:01
spoke to the spoken to
2:18:03
the son about the eternal generation of
2:18:05
the son. I will be
2:18:07
his father he will be my son but
2:18:10
when he brings the firstborn into the world that
2:18:12
isn't to the created order he
2:18:14
says let the angels worship the
2:18:17
son you can't worship
2:18:19
creatures and this
2:18:21
is not talking about referencing a king
2:18:23
it's talking about worship to
2:18:25
the whole point of the passage is that he's superior
2:18:27
to the angels of
2:18:30
the angels he says he creates he
2:18:32
makes his angel spirits and his ministers
2:18:34
a flame of fire but to the
2:18:36
son he says your throne
2:18:38
Oh God the son is God
2:18:40
your throne Oh God son God
2:18:42
is forever
2:18:47
therefore God your God has anointed you that's
2:18:49
the father and that's the son now you're
2:18:52
getting hung up on the word God go
2:18:55
listen to all the talks that debates we've done with
2:18:57
the Muslims where we get into the point the point
2:18:59
that the word God can pick out different things it
2:19:02
doesn't just refer to the divine essence it
2:19:04
doesn't just refer to a Unitarian deity it
2:19:06
can pick out in scripture all kinds of
2:19:08
things it can pick out angels it can
2:19:10
pick out men he can pick out demons
2:19:12
it can pick out the father it can
2:19:14
pick out his angel it can pick out
2:19:16
his spirit it can pick out the divine
2:19:18
essence or the divine operations God is a
2:19:20
generic term that means that means it could
2:19:22
pick out different things and so
2:19:24
all these arguments always hinge on well there's only
2:19:26
one God so therefore
2:19:28
there's no differentiations in God and
2:19:32
yet when we drill into this we always
2:19:34
find out there's multiple passages that point out
2:19:36
there are differentiations differentiations in God and that's
2:19:39
because the word God can pick out monotheos
2:19:43
monarchical theism the person of the
2:19:45
father if
2:19:47
God's an eternal father
2:19:49
how is he eternally the father without an
2:19:51
eternal son this is a Alexander's
2:19:54
argument and that's prior to
2:19:56
Nicaea by the way say not
2:19:58
Alexander's argument of the
2:20:00
Trinity is prior to Nicaea. And
2:20:03
if you go and read the Church Fathers that I
2:20:05
mentioned, which you obviously haven't read, you would know that
2:20:07
they all teach the exact same things that I'm talking
2:20:09
about. And
2:20:12
this is about the Sun. You lay the
2:20:16
foundations of the earth. To
2:20:20
which of the angels did he ever say, sit
2:20:23
at my right hand until I make your enemies your
2:20:25
footstool. And
2:20:35
then John 1, in
2:20:37
the beginning was the Word, the Logos,
2:20:39
the second person of God had Jesus. The
2:20:43
Word was with God and the Word was God. He was
2:20:45
in the beginning with God. So
2:20:47
now, does this not immediately
2:20:50
refute this anti-Trinitarian Nazarene
2:20:52
error? All
2:20:55
things were made through him and
2:20:57
without him was nothing that was made.
2:21:00
So there's no things that came to
2:21:02
be that he didn't make. It's
2:21:05
very obvious what this passage is saying. And
2:21:08
he kept saying, no, it's made through. It doesn't
2:21:12
matter. Yeah, of course it is made through. That
2:21:15
doesn't mean he's the world where he's created.
2:21:18
Because the passage clearly says anything
2:21:20
that came to be was
2:21:23
made by him. He is the Creator.
2:21:26
And that's why he's the one in the Garden
2:21:29
of Eden walking around with Adam
2:21:31
and Eve. Because he says, in
2:21:33
John to the Pharisees,
2:21:35
no one has seen the Father at any
2:21:37
time. There is no image
2:21:40
of the Father except the Son, as
2:21:42
Hebrews 1 says. So
2:21:45
when he argues with the Pharisees, he
2:21:47
enrages them because he says that he's equal
2:21:50
to the Father. He is
2:21:52
the image and brightness and glory of the Father.
2:21:54
That's what Ezekiel 1 to 10 says. He
2:21:59
is The Son of Man on
2:22:01
the Chariot. The Turtles are gone.
2:22:09
Out on a While. This. Has been so
2:22:12
slow. Was.
2:22:18
Is not flown a busy go on. Now
2:22:27
notice that every passage that. Dealt.
2:22:30
With the deity of the Sun, Or
2:22:33
the Angel The Lord I said
2:22:36
all that symbolic. those are deserve
2:22:38
passages that symbolically referred to our
2:22:40
yeah, When Jesus comes onto the
2:22:42
scene in the Gospels, an arduous
2:22:44
his possession, he's always arguing that
2:22:46
those things are him, that he's
2:22:48
the one that eight with Abraham.
2:22:50
Does that mean how could he
2:22:53
be the one with Abraham? If
2:22:56
those are all just symbolic passages that
2:22:58
that don't refer to as second hyper
2:23:00
status in the got it. So another
2:23:03
was Jesus was wrong or was lying
2:23:05
and all those passages and John where
2:23:07
he says it's he's the one that
2:23:09
visited Moses. Food. You think
2:23:11
most as went and eight with or a
2:23:13
symbolic and to symbolic within Jesus is wrong
2:23:15
for identifying himself as the one who was
2:23:18
most with Moses face to face. Paul says
2:23:20
a second or indians that it was Moses.
2:23:23
There. Was meeting with Jesus face to face. So
2:23:27
always passes the other wrong. And
2:23:30
we just saw that the Messiah when
2:23:32
he comes and Isaiah is worse of
2:23:34
mother nations. And.
2:23:37
Our guys did not as is referencing as
2:23:39
just reverence. You can't
2:23:41
give creatures the attributes of these.
2:23:43
That's what idolatry is. That's why
2:23:45
when it says that the Age
2:23:47
of the War, it appears. Not
2:23:51
only as he called your way and worshipped. When
2:23:54
he appears to Samson am I know? I. Assume
2:23:57
it to us as a parent to Manila. It
2:24:00
says that why do you ask my name seeing
2:24:02
as it is wonderful? That's
2:24:05
the same message in Isaiah when the
2:24:07
Son of God is called whose name
2:24:09
is wonderful in the
2:24:11
messianic passages in Isaiah so
2:24:15
That guy was just sort of infected with
2:24:17
this Gnostic idea of whatever
2:24:20
Nazarene Stuff is So
2:24:28
if you look at judges by the way in
2:24:31
judges also it says Yahweh
2:24:33
turned his face to Gideon That's
2:24:37
because it's Jesus that they're talking to
2:24:40
Gideon Because
2:24:44
Jesus is the face of Yahweh Why
2:24:49
do you see my name seeing as it why do
2:24:52
you ask my name seeing as it is wonderful? And
2:24:57
then Isaiah 9 5 to 6 as they as a 9 6
2:25:00
and 7 as well We
2:25:04
call his name wonderful It's
2:25:07
the same personage that
2:25:10
appeared To
2:25:13
Samson's parents It's
2:25:16
the same messenger of the
2:25:18
covenant that appears to Gideon and turns
2:25:20
his face to Gideon Remember
2:25:23
no one sees the father at
2:25:26
any time Then who
2:25:28
is it that's talking to Gideon? That
2:25:33
appears to him Yahweh
2:25:36
turned his face to Gideon By
2:25:41
the way that whole chapter has the triad
2:25:43
present Yahweh
2:25:45
is mentioned Yahweh's
2:25:49
messenger who turns his face to
2:25:51
Gideon And the spirit that
2:25:53
comes upon Gideon. Betwixt.
2:26:05
And our can you provide a slow boy
2:26:07
argument on. Objective.
2:26:09
Morality and Christianity is more
2:26:11
valid than other theistic foundations.
2:26:14
Ah, my thing, it just goes back to
2:26:17
tag. So I mean at the argument, if
2:26:19
you're arguing with my muslims or something is
2:26:21
gonna shift. Ah, because they're going to agree
2:26:23
with you that. See. As I'm
2:26:26
gives a basis for objective morality, so
2:26:28
now I think they have to shift
2:26:30
over and to specific issues. Of
2:26:33
were islamic thought is wrong and that's
2:26:35
why you mention the isn't exactly. Stuff
2:26:38
on the five dollars. My. Former
2:26:40
employers. Another sorta Roman Catholic talks
2:26:43
lot about christianity, but. I'm
2:26:45
no expert by the way, our that. Video.
2:26:48
That we're talking about his. Let's
2:26:53
look at what do we? What do we know about the
2:26:56
An? Immediate. Generation after
2:26:58
the Apostles. Well.
2:27:03
Because Jake claim that they didn't
2:27:05
teach the trinity as Muslims do,
2:27:07
the same argument apply to the.
2:27:10
Nazarene position or what or whatever
2:27:13
that known position was. Did.
2:27:15
The early church to to the Trinity.
2:27:17
Here's the video over here and. We.
2:27:20
Deals strictly with pre nice
2:27:22
seen father's here. Ah,
2:27:25
I'm. I think I
2:27:28
only I think I'd captain to like.
2:27:33
Even. Or we didn't even go to three
2:27:35
hundred's we just kept at first and second century
2:27:37
like. Two hundred three. I like. It
2:27:41
was all pretty nice. sea urban not maybe not
2:27:43
even are up to like. We
2:27:45
didn't even go into Cyprian. In
2:27:47
this like I just kept it to. any
2:27:50
that was a really early so here is
2:27:53
this video or give it to guess god
2:27:55
does early church teach the trinity and we
2:27:57
focus here on the post episode era as
2:27:59
one for us So
2:28:02
there's that video with Inspiring
2:28:04
Philosophy. My
2:28:08
former Novus Ordo friend,
2:28:10
employer was
2:28:12
talking about nine personalities
2:28:14
by St. Augustine. I
2:28:16
don't know what that means. I
2:28:18
can't find anything. Yeah, I've never heard of that. Jackson,
2:28:22
$5. Jay,
2:28:25
I have a question about fasting. Just kidding. Have
2:28:28
a good one. All right, I
2:28:30
don't think I have much more energy. I can't. I'm
2:28:32
kind of spent today. That was a pretty
2:28:35
wild thing. I appreciate the
2:28:37
guy coming on with the Messianic-ish,
2:28:40
Jewish-ish position or the Hebrew
2:28:42
roots or whatever that is.
2:28:46
I appreciate the other guys. I wish the Muslim guy
2:28:48
at the beginning would have had more of an exchange
2:28:50
and not just wanted to spout his position, but he
2:28:53
wasn't interested in that. Anyway,
