00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:41.640
The the the the the the the
the the the the the the the the

2
00:00:43.679 --> 00:01:25.519
the the how should we say the
status of the evangelical? Sorry for these

3
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:33.200
people genuinely do, but they also
are primed for I mean, they're prime

4
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:38.719
comedy content and they don't even realize
it. I want to show you the

5
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.359
comments of the guy because it was
a funny exchange. I gotta say if

6
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:49.120
I can find it, because all
of the comments to their comments were making

7
00:01:49.159 --> 00:02:00.120
fun of them, and in total
delusion land, they thought that they had

8
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.200
like demolished me. They thought that
they got like the I mean all of

9
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:07.640
the comments literally like ninety five percent
of the comments are making fun of them,

10
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.639
talking about how their video was dumb, and uh they're like just like,

11
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:16.159
oh, we own him. Dude
owned the auto bros. Bro let

12
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:21.159
me, you gotta see this video, so let me find it first,

13
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:30.639
because now I can't even find Method
Method ministries? Are you Methodist? Dude?

14
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:37.680
Is your is your pastor? Mom
gonna marry y'all two boys at your

15
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:46.759
Methodist church? Method ministries? They
look like like evangelical kind of Now I

16
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:52.800
can't find their damn video. Where's
it that? I just can't stand this

17
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.400
whole like, imagine just talk here
it is. I found it talking a

18
00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:00.919
bunch of smack. And then when
people just simply asked you if you want

19
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:13.520
to come to bait and then you
play this whole You play this piety game

20
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:20.919
of like you're not a Christian and
I I would never talk to you because

21
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:27.439
you are full of mean spirits.
You've got little tiny mean demons. There's

22
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.840
mean demons whispering over your shoulder and
you listen to them. All right,

23
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:38.319
I might have to switch to the
other We're not going anywhere. Don't worry.

24
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.400
Okay, I'm gonna pull this up. You're gonna have fun when we

25
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.199
see this here. I'm gonna play
it for you, and then we're gonna

26
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:51.080
look at the comments. And I'm
going to respond to some Rouslan videos people

27
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:57.639
sent me Ruslan and they these guys
thought that it would be an own because

28
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:03.159
I did a video making fun of
Protestant con Men preachers and because in my

29
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:08.680
video I was acting like the Bible
was an idol and I licked it.

30
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.759
And these guys said, I don't
even think I really did. It just

31
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:17.560
looks like I did. But this
was their opportunity to expose me all right,

32
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.759
you gotta see these guys here.
I think this is it. Yeah,

33
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:25.800
this is it. Can we see
this on the screen here? Okay,

34
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.680
so this is there. They're gonna
expose me, by the way,

35
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:33.199
it's nothing gayer than like expose videos
exposed, and they're always out of context.

36
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.879
It's always, I mean, do
they not know that I do silly

37
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:41.160
stuff all the time, Like I
make jokes, and you might hate my

38
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:45.680
jokes and think that they're not good
jokes, but they're at least pale attempts

39
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.160
at jokes. So not everything we
do as serious over here. But these

40
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:51.680
people they can't take a joke.
They don't, they can't. They take

41
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:57.519
themselves super seriously. So here's their
video, and we're gonna read the comments

42
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:01.439
because the comments were all like calling
them out. So the dude on the

43
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.160
left there, he's I don't know, his head got stretched out coming out

44
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:11.439
of his mama's portal canal there,
so he's he's got a long, thin,

45
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.959
stretched out head, got a nice
quafft hair, though I give him

46
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.759
props for that hair. The other
dude looks like he need to get need

47
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:23.120
to take a nap, so I
don't know why he even he even stayed

48
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:27.240
up all night for this podcast.
This podcast put me to sleep. So,

49
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.720
bro, if you need if you
have in trouble sleeping there, dude

50
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.160
on the right, just just listen
to y'all's podcast and it will help,

51
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:38.360
I promise. Because you got some
bags, it looks like you need to

52
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:44.560
you need a nap, bro,
you didn't have nap time today. Method

53
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:50.160
ministries. That's not an argument telling
me you need to go read a book.

54
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:54.399
It's an answer, right. So
the only thing I ever do is

55
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:58.480
tell people go read a book.
I've never made any arguments against any Protestants.

56
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.680
All I've ever said is go read
a book, dude. Books,

57
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:06.120
check them out. Books, check
them out. You could read about stars

58
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:10.680
that electric guitars of books. Check
them out, right. I'm just sir,

59
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:14.680
mix a lot level over here.
No arguments ever, Never had a

60
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:18.560
single argument against a Protestant, even
though we did a three hour debate with

61
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:26.000
doctor Branson and dy olda Protestant and
not too long ago, where all we

62
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:30.920
did was focus on arguments. But
no, I don't do any arguments,

63
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:35.680
never never made one. Just all
I've ever said is read a book.

64
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:41.800
And if somebody's coming to me and
you know, they say it was you

65
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.279
know, read The Church Fathers.
Right, That's all I've ever said to

66
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:50.040
when people say how do I get
saved? I say, you have to

67
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:55.519
go read Gregornissa's eight hundred page against
you Unumbia's literally that's the only way to

68
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:59.199
be saved. And that's all I've
ever said. If you don't get a

69
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:03.560
PhD in Cappadocian metaphysics, you're hell
down, bro. You're right, you're

70
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:12.000
heading down to I don't know the
ice level of Dante's Inferno, because if

71
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:13.800
you know, if you haven't read
it, there's levels. It's like a

72
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:17.439
video game, and the last level
is where the devil is and it's frozen.

73
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:20.720
So you might think, oh,
that's gonna be hot down there.

74
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:27.000
No, it's it's ice cold.
It's like when you go to the gas

75
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:30.439
station and they got the beer chest, right, world's cold as beer.

76
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:38.319
You walk into the ice chest at
the quickie mart. That's what the last

77
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:43.519
level of hell is in Dante's Inferno. And if you don't get your PhD

78
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.800
in The Church father that's and that's
all that we've always made that. Have

79
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:51.399
these dudes ever watched anything from my
channel ever? Like? What are they

80
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:56.160
talking about none of this is true. None of this is the case.

81
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.920
Now, if we're debating the top
topic of the canon of scripture, then

82
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.319
yes, we're going to not be
appealing to the scriptures because the scriptures don't

83
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.879
answer the question of the canon,
unless you're a very low tier Protestant who

84
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:16.720
thinks that somehow appealing to the thing
in question answers the question, which maybe

85
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.680
these dudes think this. I don't
know, So this is not a very

86
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:28.600
long quip. We're gonna equip.
We're gonna move on to the We're gonna

87
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.799
look at some of the comments because
they're acting like this with some own right,

88
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.639
and then we're gonna see that all
the comments are basically calling them out.

89
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.080
Then we're gonna move on to Ruslan's
videos, which I'm not familiar with

90
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:45.240
Ruslwan. Somebody said the other day, hey, will you reply to these

91
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.720
couple of videos of this guy,
and that'll be a good springboard to then

92
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:54.600
open it up to Protestants in the
chat who would like to ask questions,

93
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:01.799
offer challenges, make a argument,
et cetera, et cetera. In the

94
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:07.720
words of Bernardo et cetera, et
like that is just the stupidest thing you

95
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:13.320
really want to beat. Yeah,
so does he think I'm a Roman Catholic.

96
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:18.279
You have to read the Church Fathers
in the original Latin, and most

97
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.919
of the Church Fathers, unless they're
Latin fathers, are writing in the Greek.

98
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:26.759
I've never told anyone that you have
to read the Latin church Fathers in

99
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:30.240
the Latin. And I guess that
was supposed to be a joke. Is

100
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:31.759
it funny? I don't. I
don't think that's This doesn't seem funny to

101
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.679
me. But he thought that was
like this, like like you know,

102
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.679
genius level quip there. Yes,
go read this five hundred single states page

103
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:45.039
book and then get back to me, and then we'll make you a catechuman

104
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:46.879
of our church. And then you
go on Twitter start you know, and

105
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.679
start fan pointing out out from my
east or yeah, our greatest argument is

106
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.360
read a five hundred page book.
We will then make you a catechuman,

107
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:01.080
and then you fan buoying. Then
you fan He didn't even say it,

108
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:07.399
right, you fan boying out on
Twitter's church. Yeah. So now let's

109
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:13.320
look at the comments of this of
these two. By the way, they're

110
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.919
about they're going to be married in
their their mom I think is the pastor

111
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:22.279
who's going to be marrying them in
their Methodist church? So can we not

112
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.919
see the comments on this? Where's
the comments? I asked him if they

113
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:31.480
were going to invite me to the
to the wedding comments, log in.

114
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:37.080
I don't want to log in to
see the comments. Crap. Uh So

115
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.159
I guess we get You can go
read the comments and you'll see that all

116
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:46.480
the comments are like calling these dudes
out, like this was domb your clip

117
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:52.919
was low in low energy, surely
so so I don't I don't know where

118
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:56.159
they think that this was some great
own, But we're in the era of

119
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:03.000
like everything is just stupid now.
I mean, nothing is scholarly, nothing

120
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:09.679
is academic, nothing is actually based
in real solid refutation. Like I imagine

121
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.320
a lot of people think this was
some great own like this, and then

122
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.679
somebody was like, you got all
but heart over this, dude. The

123
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.279
comments are literally ninety percent calling them
out. All right, Next, we're

124
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:26.919
gonna move on to Ruse Lawn why
he's not Orthodox and why we should be

125
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.720
Protestant, and then we're gonna open
it up. He's got two videos,

126
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:37.480
let's start with Let's start with a
shorter one and this guy has a pretty

127
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:41.360
large channel, large enough that many
people have said, hey, when are

128
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:48.679
you gonna respond to his videos?
And shout out to everybody in the chat

129
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.240
welcome everybody. I didn't realize jim
Bob was streaming. I'm not trying to

130
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:58.320
stream over him. I apologize to
Jimbob. Thank you to the mods.

131
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:05.279
Jub you need to be a mod
because we had no mods last time.

132
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.320
I'm not fussing at you, guys. I don't expect mods to be present

133
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.519
in every live stream, although typically
you guys are you guys? Are you

134
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:22.759
guys are the best? I'm the
best to use Toadstool's terminology, real reason

135
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:28.879
I'm not Catholic or Orthodox by ruseln
this question. You seem like you know

136
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:35.159
church history. You seem like you
know things about the amazing Apostolic succession.

137
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:41.600
You think you seem to know things
about the amazing Apostolic succession things were in

138
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:45.120
the first five hundred years as the
church firste und years. Is that you

139
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.559
do a lot of Protestants know about
the amazing apistoltis. I don't think they

140
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:50.919
actually do. But that's not that's
not usually what Protestants are known for.

141
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.840
But why are you not. Why
are you not Catholic? Why are you

142
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:01.559
not Orthodox? Why are you not
coming back to your Oriental Orthodox routs?

143
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:07.159
I have individual answers for all of
those different reasons, but the most one

144
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:13.320
is because there's a doctrine that I
still hold to and that I'm not convinced

145
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.360
is wrong. And there's other doctrines
they hold to that I am not convinced.

146
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.039
So let's just start with the doctrine
I hold to and why I am

147
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:24.399
convinced that this doctrine is correct.
This is truth, you knights, my

148
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:30.639
man, Here we go. So
he's relying on Gavin Ortland. Every time

149
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.840
I see Blessed God, he's got
a he's got a hoodie on this says

150
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.360
Blessed God. His channel is called
Blessed God. All I can think of

151
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:50.200
is Kenneth Copeland, because that was
Kenneth Copeland's hold. Did he choose the

152
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.120
name of his channel from Kenneth Copeland? I've been We're gonna have him on

153
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:58.159
the channel. The thing that the
Singh was is Protestant, which is what

154
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.879
I am. But I are Oriental
Orthodox, Anal Protestant, Oriental or from

155
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:11.320
all the other faith traditions. What
what ethnicity named Ruse Lawn would be Oriental

156
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:16.200
Orthodox. That's confusing, But anyway, is the doctrine of sola scripture.

157
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:18.440
So let's take a look at this
video and I'll give you guys my additional

158
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.480
thoughts as we go. Solo scriptural
means that scripture is the church's own infallible

159
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.600
rule. It doesn't mean that Scripture
is the only authority creeds, catechisms,

160
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:31.120
confessions, and Council's function authoritatively.
Okay, So the first thing that's important

161
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:37.480
to note about this video is that
Protestants believe that scripture is the only infallible

162
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:46.679
rule, not the only authority.
And oftentimes solar scripture will get strawman as

163
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.480
a you guys believe that scripture is
the only authority. No, we don't

164
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.679
believe scripture is the only authority.
Yeah, And I mean this is true,

165
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.960
but I mean this doesn't really have
anything to do with proving solo scriptures.

166
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.799
So I guess it's okay to kind
of clear the way. We get

167
00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:09.360
the hoe the weeds out of the
way, and make it clear that if

168
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:13.639
we're talking about infallibility, right,
that's not the same thing as authority per

169
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:18.840
se and as Orthodox. Yeah,
I think we would agree that, Yeah,

170
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:22.120
exactly, that's why bishops have authority. But they're not infallible, So

171
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.960
no problem here with this. But
I want to I want you to take

172
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:30.039
note. I've not watched this video, so this is a live riffing and

173
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:31.200
reaction that you're seeing. So I
don't know where he's going to go with

174
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:35.080
these arguments. But the first thing
I would say is that while this is

175
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:41.080
all true, how do we actually
know that the scriptures themselves are the only

176
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:46.879
infallible rule? When we needed an
external entity, namely the historic church,

177
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:52.159
to determine which books go into that
quote infallible rule. So notice that the

178
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:58.320
infallible rule here is going to include
a specific list of canonical texts. This

179
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:00.759
is going to be a problem,
though, addict, because we're not ever

180
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:07.879
going to get anything external to the
text themselves that tells us what the texts

181
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:15.799
themselves are. We believe scripture is
the only infallible authority. This is super

182
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.879
duper important, so it's important to
just start with this asset. I believe

183
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:22.600
in other authorities. I believe in
local church authority. I believe in the

184
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:30.679
authority of shake a legg the brain
comes kicking off in the boardroom of the

185
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.720
Creeds. I believe in Church history
authority. I believe in all kinds of

186
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:38.080
authorities. Now wait a minute,
he believes in the authority of church history

187
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:42.600
and its creeds, which is a
meaningless statement because to say that they have

188
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:49.919
authority doesn't mean anything except that this
specific Protestant picks and chooses which elements of

189
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:56.279
creeds in church father's teachings he thinks
is true and is according to his taste.

190
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:03.440
So while I understand that we can
admit that it's a difference between infallibility

191
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:07.559
and authority, I don't think Ruslan
will give us any epistemic principle to actually

192
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:12.519
adjudicate between these things. Because remember, most of the time, Protestants confuse

193
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:19.680
normative authority with existential certitude, and
Protestants, to be fair to them,

194
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:25.160
do that because a lot of times
Roman Catholics do the exact same thing in

195
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:30.720
their argumentation. Roman Catholics will confuse
having an external office of the papacy with

196
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:37.599
something granting or somehow magically giving you
individual certitude. And it doesn't achieve that

197
00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:41.240
it doesn't perform that task. Actually, that's just something that they assume it

198
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:45.319
does, and they often conflate these
two things. So when we talk about

199
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:49.759
normative authority, we're talking about historical
entities that have the ability to enforce rulings

200
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:56.640
and interpretations of texts. Okay,
so think about that's father Deacon and ice

201
00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:03.519
Offen says, the Supreme Court exists
to the Constitution. Right, We're not

202
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:11.839
all running around like non denominational constitutionalists
interpreting the Constitution our own authoritative way.

203
00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:17.680
Because the spirit of seventeen seventy six
inspires and guides us. The magical powdered

204
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:22.000
wigmen of seventeen seventy six and the
powdered wig powder that they sprinkled onto the

205
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:30.039
documents inspires us as individuals to be
able to authoritatively interpret the Constitution. So

206
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:36.319
they often confuse having a historical book
with interpreting the book. And the question

207
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:41.279
is when we get a million different
interpretations from a million different goobers. And

208
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:47.119
I'm sorry to say that if you
go to a strip Mall church except for

209
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:51.920
the Orthodox ones, because somewhere Orthodox
churches mean striples if you go to it,

210
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:56.599
because we're strip Mall in Potentia,
right, getting a temple. A

211
00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:00.920
lot of Orthodox churches are in Potentia
building their temple, getting out of the

212
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:07.279
strip mall because that's all we've got. But non denominationals y'all are like,

213
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.319
let's move from the strip mall to
a giant strip mall. Right, I

214
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:22.359
am all right, but right,
you got Joel Ovaltine over there talking about

215
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:30.519
we're gonna build, We're gonna move
from the strip mall to a damn NFL

216
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:34.119
stadium. Right, so it's it's
even worse. But I think the only

217
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:41.240
infallible authority, the only infallible rule, is scripture. Creeds, catechisms,

218
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.640
confessions, and councils function authoritatively,
but according to solid scripture, right,

219
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:48.839
they are fallible, meaning capable of
error and thus reformable. In scripture,

220
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:53.880
fallible entities can still have real authority
like the umpire. All. So notice

221
00:19:53.920 --> 00:20:00.559
then there's a famous dictum of varsity
sproll. The canon of scripture is a

222
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:07.039
fallible list of infallible books. Now, that's obviously to anybody who can see

223
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:15.880
with basic reasoning skills a contradiction.
There's an error there, because if the

224
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:25.079
compilation, if the totality of this
has infallibility status, then the parts have

225
00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:29.559
to have infallibility status. Right,
that's not a parts whole fallacy parts sol

226
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:32.200
fallacy would be the other way around. What's true the parts has to be

227
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:37.759
true the whole. That's why the
deacon says, my room is made up

228
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.200
of atoms. Atoms are invisible,
so that room is invisible. That would

229
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:47.279
be a fallacy. But if I
encompass all of this book, which is

230
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:51.839
a bunch of little books, as
infallible, then obviously the individual books are

231
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:56.920
also infallible, and that would necessitate
that the collection and decision of what goes

232
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:00.640
into this is infallible. This is
so obvious. But notice the problem here

233
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:04.920
is that we're not talking about authority
at this point. We're actually talking about

234
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:11.079
the infallibility part, which was his
first part. And so as Galvin Ortlund

235
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:21.519
said, if everything that's not infallible
is therefore reformable was his terminology, then

236
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:26.880
the canon of scripture itself is reformable. This is the logic of the reformed

237
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:30.599
and the Protestant position, even according
to people like RC. Sproull. Remember

238
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:36.960
Sproll says, it's a fallible collection
of infallible books, So the individual books

239
00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:41.759
that went into this, that collection
itself is fallible. It might be wrong,

240
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:52.039
is it not? Obvious to Protestants
that this is the basis for higher

241
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:56.160
criticism. This is the basis,
this is the thinking of Luther. It's

242
00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:00.440
saying that I'm ready to start challenging
all kinds of texts. Want to doubt

243
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:03.000
James. I want to doubt the
Catholic epistles. I want it out Hebrews.

244
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.960
I want to doubt all these things. I want to throw out the

245
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:15.759
Dudo Caman. If it's a fallible
collection of infallible books, then this is

246
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:22.240
also reformable. By Gavin Ortlund's argumentation
right there, or the US Supreme Court

247
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:27.759
or the Jewish sanhedrew most stories in
this world are not infallible, sooscript correct.

248
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:33.559
This is not required that every doctrine
must be explicitly topic description. There's

249
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:36.880
a problem with that analogy, though, because the Protestant is making the analogy

250
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:41.759
to the what did you say,
the Supreme Court, the Sanhedrin and those

251
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:44.440
are not infallible. Well, there's
a difference though, because if you look

252
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:48.599
at the doctrine of the Church,
is the New Testament Church the equivalent of

253
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:55.880
the Sanhedrin or the Supreme Court.
Now I made an analogy on the basis

254
00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:00.359
of interpreting the text and binding people
to those interpretations. I'm not saying that

255
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:06.759
the Supreme Court is infallible. The
analogy is just to show that normative authority

256
00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:12.200
is different from existential individual certitude,
two different things. However, that doesn't

257
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:18.480
mean that there's an equivalence between the
Church as a human organization and other human

258
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:25.680
organizations like the Supreme Court or the
Sanhedrin. Those are not divine institutions.

259
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:33.119
The Church is a panthropic, divino
human institution, and it's unique because it's

260
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.200
the Kingdom of God where we will
not have the gates of Hell prevailing.

261
00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:45.720
So how could it ever officially teach
universally teach error in this position? Not

262
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:52.480
only has it, it must it
must fail. It must teach error because

263
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:57.519
now every individual protest must reinvent the
wheel and rediscover if in fact any of

264
00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:03.759
the doctrines of the first thousand years
or the last two thousand years are correct.

265
00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:08.200
Maybe the Trinity is not right.
So each individual Protestant now has the

266
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:15.920
duty to reinvent the wheel to start
over. Every generation has to start over

267
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:21.519
and figure out what is Christ the
vine. I guess we got to go

268
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:26.160
and have this debate again. What's
the canon? Of scripture. I guess

269
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.160
we got to redo the first seven
centuries when they come to the canon that

270
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:37.839
Trollo and the Seventh Council. So
you see the absurdity of this whole position.

271
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:41.640
But the position is not really historical
at all, because if you watch

272
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:48.640
the Trent Horn James White debate,
James White eventually admitted that the Church was

273
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:51.519
not operating on the base of soul
scripture for many, many centuries, and

274
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:56.599
so therefore it's not true for those
centuries. How could it then be the

275
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:02.720
cornerstone of the church. It's like
the flip and verse view of the papacy.

276
00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:08.880
If the papacy is dogmatized in terms
of infallibility at Vatican One, then

277
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:12.640
how could it have been the principle
of certitude for seeing and identifying the church

278
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:18.119
in the first few centuries. Likewise, the flip side of that is James

279
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:22.160
White's admission that the Church was not
operating on a sol scripture principle because they

280
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:29.079
didn't have a compiled canon yet.
And then his example of what was it

281
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:33.240
Meledo? Was it Bledo's canon,
as Sam Munn pointed out, was totally

282
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:37.920
dishonest. It included du to econonical
texts. So Melito didn't have the Protestant

283
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:44.279
canon. The strongest articulation of the
only Protestant who has or excuman Church father

284
00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:49.359
has the quote Protestant canon is Jerome, and Jerome is alone in that view

285
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:56.400
except for maybe one or two other
people maybe. But why is a Protestant

286
00:25:56.440 --> 00:26:02.119
should I accept or we accept Jerome's
view? Well? But the Hebrew canon

287
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:04.839
and the Jews? And why did
Jews decide what the canon of scripture is

288
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:10.359
for the church. We're talking about
post destruction of Jerusalem, post seventy eight,

289
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:17.720
right opposed to Christianity. Jews they
decide the canon. Do they also

290
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:19.759
determine the doctor of the Trinity,
because I'm pretty sure they would say it's

291
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:22.799
not true. Do they determine the
deed of Christ? Because then we would

292
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:33.799
be arian? So the post first
second century Jews determine the canon. Are

293
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:37.519
the Protestants also going to go to
the post second third century Jews for the

294
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:40.359
exegesis of the Old Testament because I'm
pretty sure they're gonna argue that it's not

295
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:44.759
Jesus that's the Messiah. Do you
see how silly this is, how arbitrary

296
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:48.640
this is That's why the argument that
we make is no, the Church is

297
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:53.240
the continuation of Israel, and it
has the authority that Christ gave to it.

298
00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:59.079
Does Jesus say, he who hears
the Sanhedrin hears me? No,

299
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:00.559
he says he who hears the Apostles, he hears you. Here's me,

300
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:07.759
the Apostles absolute succession, not the
Sanhedrin stated doctrine, the sufficiency of Scripture

301
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:12.519
allow for doctrines to be deduced from
Scripture by good and necessary consequence. Always.

302
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:17.119
Crituria is often caricatured on those points
and many others. But I've stated

303
00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:21.960
responsibly it's a very modest and reasonable
claim. It simply means that popess councils

304
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:27.400
and other post apostolic organs of the
church are okay. So if post apostolic

305
00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:33.759
councils, popes, church authorities,
elders, whatever, they're all fallible and

306
00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:38.559
therefore reformable, then the canon of
Scripture as a compilation is also reformable.

307
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:42.440
Now you have the open door to
higher criticism and the destruction of the text.

308
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:47.799
And guess what, That's what happened
in history. Shocker for some people,

309
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:52.440
because different strains of the Church are
going to disagree on this specifically,

310
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:57.759
the most obvious one is my Catholic
bids and sisters believe that the wait a

311
00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:02.400
minute, I love one. Protestants
do this thing where they call Catholics and

312
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:08.160
Orthodox their brothers and sisters. Historically
Catholics and could you remb water as well?

313
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:12.759
Thank you. Catholics and Protests killed
each other. Protestants killed each other

314
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:21.599
over things like baptism and the Lord's
Supper and church governance, and we're just

315
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:32.839
supposed to ignore all that. These
aren't war worthy disagreements anymore. We're all

316
00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:37.839
just bros and sisters. Brayey,
you're my brother. We're all brothers in

317
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:41.839
Christ. Let's just hold their hands
up and do some praise and worsha.

318
00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:45.440
It's not gay, I promise.
Just repeat the same lines over like a

319
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:52.640
mantra, over and over and over
to the same three chords. Uh Jesus,

320
00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:57.160
here's my boyfriend right, this awful
praise and worship. Who can stand

321
00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:03.559
praise and worship? Even when I
was going to praise and worship Protestant stuff,

322
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:08.759
I mean, I remember thinking,
like, really, you know what

323
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:15.079
I mean. I'm trying to think, what's what's a classic praising worship song?

324
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:18.640
I'm trying to think of one.
How do they go? I'm trying

325
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:30.039
to remember I had an idea for
a gay praising worship leader skit, and

326
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:33.759
then somebody actually made that. They
beat me to the punch a long time

327
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:41.400
ago. What's one of those praising
worship songs that's super annoying. I'm trying

328
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:48.200
to remember one. Lord, I
left your name on high Lord. I

329
00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:53.640
love to seeing your praises from the
ocean to the sea, from the sea

330
00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:59.880
to the valley, to the value
to the shores. I mean, oh,

331
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:03.640
no, wonder people become atheists.
Praise and worship alone is like the

332
00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:07.359
greatest argument for atheism. Atheists,
if you're listening, you want to own

333
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.000
the Christians. Uh, You're not
gonna own the Orthodox because our chance are

334
00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:17.160
like masculine and babe, right,
But you want to If you want to

335
00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:19.079
own the Evangelicals, I'll give you
this little nugget. Just make fun of

336
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:22.400
their Just play their praise and worship, dude. That's a stronger argument than

337
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:26.599
any of your soy atheist arguments.
Just play praise and worship, dude.

338
00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:36.559
That's it. Oh god, it
is an awesome got you rage. I

339
00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:41.079
can't even remember these do the people
in the chat are They're they're loving it.

340
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:48.640
They're loving it. Jesus, isn't
your boyfriend, dude? This is

341
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:56.160
all It's all very I mean,
imagine meeting a monarch and then walking up

342
00:30:56.160 --> 00:31:00.039
to the monarch and being I mean, obviously the monarchs nowaday are like disgusting

343
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:04.079
degenerates. But imagine meeting like a
baze tried monarch, you know what I

344
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:10.519
mean, and being walking up and
being like, Emperor Constantine, You're my

345
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:15.839
favorite guy. You're so hot and
cool, and I love you too.

346
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:22.279
I love you Constantine the best Byzantine
Emperor, and be like constantly like,

347
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:29.599
get this skittles man out of my
court? What is this nonsense? Right?

348
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:37.720
But yet you're gonna sing to the
Lord of the universe these horrible three

349
00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:44.400
note I don't even know what you
call them. They're like they're like beta

350
00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:51.720
male pop songs, just the worst, just ugh. And his final authority

351
00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:57.400
is infallible. And we would point
and say that is very recent. And

352
00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:01.039
then some of the other arms of
the church, the traditions of the church,

353
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:07.359
are infallible, the Apostolic succession of
traditions, not all of them people

354
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:12.799
fallible, but the scripture is infallible. I think Lane puts Us stated differently,

355
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:15.880
solo scripture is a statement that the
church can enter the plausthoriety of Soloscricturer

356
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:21.240
begins with two simple observations, First, what scripture is and second how scripture

357
00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:24.839
functions. First, scripture claims to
be the inspired word of God. Now,

358
00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:29.480
all of our traditions use the phrase
the word of God in various different

359
00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:31.960
ways. When we designate scripture as
the inspired Word of God, we are

360
00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:38.359
recognizing that it is ontologically and I'm
trying to find me some good praise and

361
00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:42.599
worship as a little bit about sample
for you. The words of Scripture are

362
00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:46.519
from God because the Holy Spirit carried
along with the off Yeah. Next fallacy

363
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:54.319
here is the assumption that quote word
of God and quote uh, well,

364
00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:59.720
that word of God only refers to
the written text. Where does the idea

365
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:04.799
of the Word of God equating to
only written texts? Where is that?

366
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:09.400
Oh, it's not anywhere. So
the fact that two Peter says that the

367
00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:15.839
Old Testament prophets were moved by the
Holy Spirit and spoke not by the will

368
00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:17.359
of man, but according to the
will of God. That doesn't mean that

369
00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:22.839
everything that they spoke was only written. You understand, the Old Testament prophets

370
00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:30.160
also were preachers, so the preaching
that they did was also authoritative, was

371
00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:36.119
also the word of God. And
we know this because in Paul's letters to

372
00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:42.599
Timothy, he says, pass on
to good men after you the word of

373
00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:46.559
God which you heard from me in
the presence of many witnesses. He doesn't

374
00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:52.279
say, just write another letter,
just copy and paste my letter, Timothy.

375
00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:53.960
No, he says, all of
the teaching that you heard from me,

376
00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:58.440
because Paul taught for three years.
According to Acts, I think it's

377
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:01.440
Acts twenty in night emphasis, he
says, pass on that whole body of

378
00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:07.359
knowledge. So the assumption that Protestants
always do here and I did I know

379
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:09.400
because I used to do this when
I was Protestants to assume that when the

380
00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:15.360
New Testament texts are talking about the
Word of God, it only refers to

381
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:21.480
written texts. But it doesn't.
The preaching of the apostles was also authoritative.

382
00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:24.559
And I think, if I remember, I think James White admitted that

383
00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:30.280
in the Trent Horn debate. If
I recall, I'm trying to do y'all

384
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:31.559
want to y'all want to pause for
a minute, get a little bit of

385
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:50.159
praise on worship who And I had
to explain to the California Ortho bros what

386
00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:53.920
a United Pentecostal was when you come
to Tennessee. Okay, it's not like

387
00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:57.400
they're like, oh, you mean
charismatics. No, No, you see

388
00:34:57.400 --> 00:35:00.679
this chick with the bun where the
hair come down. That that's the that's

389
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:06.960
a Pentecostal right there. And the
Pentecostals usually are anti Trinitarian. Okay,

390
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:12.639
So that's what this is, is
what I talk. By the way,

391
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:15.639
this is better than the praise and
worship stuff. I'd rather go to a

392
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:23.159
heterodox Unitarian praising worships. I'm joking, but that's actually better than the what

393
00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:27.559
is this? Here we go like
Hillsong type of stuff. You know what

394
00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:30.159
I mean? This is the worst. If you're fifties, don't want to

395
00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:36.639
use traditional makeup as I use traditional
makeup. When I was on O a

396
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:39.119
n other day and I look like
a damn diva, I got to hear

397
00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:55.079
some hill song. Let's hear it. Oh this is oh yeah, this

398
00:35:55.159 --> 00:36:00.280
is this is Chris. This is
evangelical creed Man. Look at this dude.

399
00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:08.800
I could be this dude. Look
can you cheek me Hi, yeah,

400
00:36:09.400 --> 00:36:19.679
jew a polish We're blind, man. She's no different than the crappy

401
00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:25.320
radio rock, except worse Christian rock. Oh man, look at this dude.

402
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:34.280
He knows every word. He knows
every word. What's he got a

403
00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:37.599
what's that pink bracelet? All the
conspiracy he will be like, he's got

404
00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:45.239
a caballa bracelet. You've got a
pink caballa bracelet? Eh? Yeah,

405
00:36:51.039 --> 00:37:10.679
he fixed his heart for Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm a crappy Christian

406
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:17.239
version of Creed Paul calls scripture god
breathed. John Stott uses words like spiration

407
00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:22.159
and expiration to convey the meaning of
that term. Qut plainly thinking would start

408
00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:34.559
cutting carts. Oh yeah, I'm
unsure of my sexuality and I'm in a

409
00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:42.599
prison worship band or the words of
God. That is exactly how scripture speaks

410
00:37:42.599 --> 00:37:45.920
of itself. And Jesus quotes the
Old Testament as God speaking. Yeah,

411
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:52.000
but none of that prison is infallible, it cannot be broken. But none

412
00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:54.119
of those things personal scripture. So
you noticed that it's all non sequitors from

413
00:37:54.159 --> 00:37:59.480
Gavin Orland here, because God is
infallible, and sure it's the same of

414
00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:02.639
that. I mean Catholics make with
Vatican one, right, and mining the

415
00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:07.280
first thousand years of quote proof text
for Vatican one, where it's like,

416
00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:12.880
no, this here a track cat. Notice here it says that the Bishop

417
00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:16.039
of Rome was listed as first,
therefore Vatican wela. No, the fact

418
00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:21.159
that he's listed first does not in
any way prove Vatican one. And by

419
00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:25.639
the way, the Alexandria document admits
that ninety six prove Vatican one. So

420
00:38:27.199 --> 00:38:30.800
it's like they're using all these battle
It's no, it's the same type of

421
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:44.280
fallacious move that Ortland or Lundia over
here and Russlan over here speech. So

422
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:47.880
us simply maintains that as scripture is
unique in its nature, so it is

423
00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:52.360
correspondingly unique in its authorities. Well, again, the fact that it's unique

424
00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:57.880
does not equate to being the sole
infallible authority. So you notice that all

425
00:38:57.920 --> 00:39:04.440
of this so far has just traded
on non supporters. Okay, So notice

426
00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:07.800
what he's saying here. Scripture is
unique in its nature, and it's correspondingly

427
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:15.239
unique as authority. So Protestants who
hold that scripture is the final authority do

428
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:22.000
not believe that modern day prophecy is
equal with scripture. This is why when

429
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:25.000
people ask modern day prophets, do
you still believe in apostles and prophets and

430
00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:28.639
healings to day? And I say
yes, but not in the sense that

431
00:39:28.679 --> 00:39:30.840
we see it in the scripture,
meaning I do believe there was so wait

432
00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:36.679
he believes in apostles today, so
wait, so then what do you have

433
00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:38.400
a problem with? That was ald
of succession. By the way, the

434
00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:45.000
best ships are not apostles. But
that's weird. The uniqueness of with the

435
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:46.800
apostles, and a uniqueness with the
writing of scripture, and a uniqueness with

436
00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:52.639
the Old Testament prophets. And when
we see prophetic prophetic elements today or elements

437
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:55.920
of apostleship today, it is not
with the same authority as the apostles in

438
00:39:55.960 --> 00:40:00.519
the Bible. Well, we saw
last time that this is nonsense, right

439
00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:06.760
because Zechariah specifically says that in the
Messianic era, you will not have people

440
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:12.320
claiming to be profits. Prophecy will
cease. We don't need prophecy anymore because

441
00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:15.760
the canon is closed. That doesn't
mean that there aren't people with clairvoyance or

442
00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:19.639
something like that, or elders and
people who have spiritual gifts. But those

443
00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:22.280
things are not right. The equivalent
of divine revelations. So we would agree

444
00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:28.639
with him that there is a uniqueness
to the apostolic deposit right, the faith

445
00:40:28.679 --> 00:40:30.639
wants for all delivered to the saints. But the whole fallacy here is to

446
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:35.519
think that the faith once for all
delivered to the saints equates to and must

447
00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:37.360
be only what's in the written text, and none of that has actually been

448
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:42.840
demonstrated. None of the texts that
he showed so far actually demonstrate that it's

449
00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:45.920
just all been assumed. And again
we bring it back to the first point,

450
00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:51.000
which is that I think is Zechariah
thirteen. I think it's either eight

451
00:40:51.079 --> 00:40:53.960
or thirteen, but that's the chapter
that predicts in the Messianic era that you

452
00:40:54.000 --> 00:41:01.199
will not have people calling themselves profits, and people they call themselves profits will

453
00:41:01.239 --> 00:41:05.360
be stoned with stones. Now we
don't literally think that people are going to

454
00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:09.679
be stoned, but it means that
the New Testament equivalent of the quote death

455
00:41:09.719 --> 00:41:17.039
penalty or being excommunicated the way that
you would be ceremonially unclean in the Old

456
00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:21.280
Testament. For example, you couldn't
go to participate in the rituals and whatnot

457
00:41:21.360 --> 00:41:24.840
until you were cleansed in a bath. That's a type that's a foreshadowing as

458
00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:30.199
symbol of the New Testament notion of
being baptized and then being admitted to the

459
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:35.800
Eucharist. So the way that you're
quote stoned and excommunicated nowadays is by not

460
00:41:35.880 --> 00:41:39.840
confessing your sins and not being prepared
for the admittance to the covenantal meal of

461
00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:45.559
the Eucharist. So there's a direct
parallel there to the New Testament. And

462
00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:52.760
in that text of Zachariah where talks
about in the Messianic era, if anyone

463
00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:55.000
says I am a prophet, his
father and his mother who who begot him,

464
00:41:55.039 --> 00:41:59.000
will stone him with stones. I
want to say, is zach rai

465
00:41:59.199 --> 00:42:01.000
ate? But it's been well since
we looked at that text. But Father

466
00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:05.840
Deacon and I covered this, and
he had a great point too about you

467
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:12.119
know, if you look at Paul's
texts and Galatians one, Paul says that

468
00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:15.159
if anyone preaches a new gospel or
a different gospel to you right, ignore

469
00:42:15.199 --> 00:42:22.000
them. Well, if the can
and divine revelation, if public divine revelation

470
00:42:22.239 --> 00:42:29.639
wasn't sealed and wasn't complete, then
there wouldn't be a way to say that

471
00:42:30.159 --> 00:42:34.119
there weren't. There wasn't a defined
thing to test it against. So we

472
00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:39.559
agree with the Protestant that there's not
new ongoing public revelations. The councils and

473
00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:46.639
their teachings are authoritative interpretations of the
existing the positive faith. The positive faith

474
00:42:46.719 --> 00:42:51.400
is complete, as Jude says,
once for all delivered the saints. So

475
00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:55.199
therefore there could never be new divine
revelations. It's just not even possible.

476
00:42:55.880 --> 00:43:04.639
And it is zechari At thirteen,
and that day there will be a place

477
00:43:04.760 --> 00:43:07.840
in every place opened up to the
House of David and the habits of Jerusalem.

478
00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:12.119
So this is Messianic gar It will
come to pass, says the Lord

479
00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:15.679
of Hosts, that I will utterly
destroy, Hey, Jamie, could you

480
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:23.039
bring me a water? Excuse me? I will utterly destroy the names of

481
00:43:23.039 --> 00:43:27.360
the idols in the land, the
false prophets, the unclean spirits. If

482
00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:31.199
anyone says that they are a prophet
or shall still prophesy, his mother and

483
00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:35.079
his father, who begot him,
will say you are not. You will

484
00:43:35.079 --> 00:43:37.239
not live, or you speak falsehoods
in the name of the Lord. Thus

485
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:43.679
his father and his mother who begot
him, will bind him when he prophesies.

486
00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:45.159
And it will come to pass that
the prophets will be put to shame

487
00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:52.000
their visions and their prophecies, and
they will put on leather skins because they

488
00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:55.639
spoke lies. And one will say, I am not a prophet, but

489
00:43:57.000 --> 00:44:00.360
rather I am a tiller of the
soil and man who brought me up thus

490
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:04.360
from my youth. So I think
this tilling of the soil. Right.

491
00:44:04.559 --> 00:44:07.239
In the New Testament, this is
typically a reference to the work of the

492
00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:12.119
apostles. Right, so the church
is typically portrayed as a vineyard, as

493
00:44:12.159 --> 00:44:16.920
a field where the seed is sprinkled
and it's sown, and so tilling the

494
00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:22.920
field, right, you shall not
muzzle the oxen while it works. The

495
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:27.159
New Testament, and Paul applies that
to the apostles. So the New Testament

496
00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:30.199
application is that, well, there's
gonna be a finality of revelation. Right,

497
00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:35.519
there's no more profits because, as
Jesus says, John was the last

498
00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:38.920
of the prophets. So there are
New Testament prophecies, but as paulices,

499
00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:45.599
prophecies will cease, so there's no
longer a need for the office of an

500
00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:51.039
Old Testament prophet, because that was
in anticipation too, the coming of the

501
00:44:51.079 --> 00:44:58.320
Messiah. And the common theme here
that I'm getting at is that for much

502
00:44:58.320 --> 00:45:05.559
of Protestantism, the error, the
underlying error throughout a lot of this is

503
00:45:05.599 --> 00:45:09.239
to think that we can move back
to the Old Testament status of things.

504
00:45:10.039 --> 00:45:15.079
And you'll notice they're always trying to
make this move, even inadvertently. They

505
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:21.119
think that, oh, the way
the sacraments operate, well, it's like

506
00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:24.280
circumcision or any of the ritual meals
in the Old Testament. It's just a

507
00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:30.760
symbol. Wait a minute, that's
the Old Testament status. Oh well,

508
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:32.480
if the Church is like Israel,
then it's just like Israel, and then

509
00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:36.639
it's just as fallible. Well,
this is prior to Pentecost. Jesus said

510
00:45:36.679 --> 00:45:38.800
the Holy Spirit woul be given to
the Church, and that it would never

511
00:45:39.199 --> 00:45:43.239
leave the church. I will never
leave you and never sink you. I

512
00:45:43.239 --> 00:45:46.960
will guide you into old truth.
And yet no, you see, according

513
00:45:46.960 --> 00:45:51.679
to Process, the Church isn't an
actual historical thing. It's this amorphous,

514
00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:55.760
unknown, invisible thing which is just
ecclesiological in Hisstorianism. Oh, it's an

515
00:45:55.800 --> 00:46:00.119
invisible entity where everybody somehow might be
part of the Church, and there's not

516
00:46:00.199 --> 00:46:13.719
really a visible authoritative thing. Jay
reminds me of Alan Watts, the man

517
00:46:13.719 --> 00:46:16.719
who sings without an orchestra, just
just playing rhymeless music. That's what I'm

518
00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:23.679
talking about, absolutely, man,
there are no more profits. Now that

519
00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:32.159
we have a book. We worship
you, oh Holy Book. You are

520
00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:37.840
the one thing on myself that I
worship. Now, even though you're a

521
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:43.719
creature, I worship you, Oh
Book. This is the way that Protestants

522
00:46:43.719 --> 00:46:49.000
should really do their prison worship,
right, I don't worship creatures. Even

523
00:46:49.039 --> 00:46:53.519
though a book's a creature. Boy, it is not with the same accuracy

524
00:46:53.599 --> 00:46:58.199
as the prophets in the Bible,
right that that that phase was unique.

525
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:02.559
It's not with the same accurate So
now profits can like prophesy and be totally

526
00:47:02.599 --> 00:47:10.239
off. Actually, the structures on
quote prophecy are that if they don't get

527
00:47:10.239 --> 00:47:15.480
it right, they're dead to you
or they're stoned. Right, that's the

528
00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:19.880
Old Testament strictures. And where does
he get the idea that, well,

529
00:47:20.639 --> 00:47:22.960
you know, I mean basically like
no stradonka, don't you know what I

530
00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:25.840
mean? Like, if you get
like thirty percent of your prophecy right,

531
00:47:28.159 --> 00:47:30.840
you know, we'll let you slide. Right. It's not like it used

532
00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:31.800
to be, though, where you
had you had to get it like spot

533
00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:37.679
On. You know, the bar
was pretty high from Malachi. But for

534
00:47:39.599 --> 00:47:44.159
I don't know, for Benny hen
I will let you slide on about eighty

535
00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:46.360
percent of your failed prophecies. So
what that is he even talking about.

536
00:47:46.519 --> 00:47:50.920
So there's a distinction here. There
is a distincitionship. We believe Cruit is

537
00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:55.920
unique in its nature and it's authority. It's not the same. It's just

538
00:47:55.920 --> 00:48:04.840
so funny because as you think about
this, the whole methodology of the Protestant

539
00:48:05.199 --> 00:48:09.960
and their whole approach here is literally
to make the book God. I mean,

540
00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:15.559
they actually think that this is God. And that's super duper irony because

541
00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:21.440
number one, it's against their iconoclasm
position, because if this is God,

542
00:48:21.599 --> 00:48:28.039
then you're God is a creature and
the book is full of images words.

543
00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:31.320
Those are images if you didn't know, they're iconographic, and they're depicting the

544
00:48:31.320 --> 00:48:37.400
thing that you say can't be depicted. So actually you're just a book idolator,

545
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:40.559
is all you are. Even though
Jesus says, and he quoted John

546
00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:49.280
ten citing Gavin Orlandia right, he
cited that where Jesus says the scriptures cannot

547
00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:52.840
be broken. But he also says
that you search the scriptures because you think

548
00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:55.760
that it's in them that you have
eternal life. Oh but you didn't cite

549
00:48:55.760 --> 00:48:59.880
that one, did you? Erusalem? Did you? Gavin? When?

550
00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:02.400
And it is they that bear witness
to me. So this is like a

551
00:49:02.480 --> 00:49:08.559
letter. Imagine mistaking a letter for
the person. That's that's the mistake they're

552
00:49:08.559 --> 00:49:13.840
doing here. It says silly,
right, somebody writes you a letter about

553
00:49:14.039 --> 00:49:16.800
how good of a rapper I am, and we all know I'm probably probably

554
00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:22.199
the best. I mean, we
know it's not Little aids aka Tristana.

555
00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:30.239
So who's left me? That's it? Easy equation there, cancel out the

556
00:49:30.280 --> 00:49:34.440
second rateist rapper and you've only got
one left. Somebody writes a big letter

557
00:49:34.519 --> 00:49:39.480
explaining how good I am with my
vocal bars and skills. And you get

558
00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:43.519
this letter, and you read the
letter, and you, oh, dude,

559
00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:47.199
I know Jay now. I know
all about his freestyle. I know

560
00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:51.880
all about his flow because I read
the letter. And you're like, but

561
00:49:51.920 --> 00:49:53.239
do you know him? Yeah?
I read the letter, dude, but

562
00:49:53.320 --> 00:49:57.519
you don't know me. You read
a letter about me. This is how

563
00:49:57.559 --> 00:50:04.719
silly it is. Prophetic word the
authority positions tend to separate infallibility from inspiration.

564
00:50:05.239 --> 00:50:08.400
Second, Scripture functions with superior authority
than other authorities in the Church.

565
00:50:09.079 --> 00:50:16.360
So separating infallibility from inspiration distinguishing is
not separating so that people make these mistakes

566
00:50:16.360 --> 00:50:21.679
all the time. It's the same
move that like people the mistakes that people

567
00:50:21.719 --> 00:50:24.599
make in terms of the Trinity or
Christology. Oh, if you make a

568
00:50:24.639 --> 00:50:30.679
distinction, that means that there's separation
and division. No, just because scripture

569
00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:36.119
is infallible doesn't mean that there's nothing
else about. So again, these are

570
00:50:36.119 --> 00:50:38.440
it's all non sequitis. For example, in Mark seven, Jesus places scripture

571
00:50:38.559 --> 00:50:44.320
over the Pharisees traditions despite the fact
that the Pharisees had legitimate teaching authority and

572
00:50:44.360 --> 00:50:49.199
it claimed to possess an oral law
for Moses. Yeah, but that's an

573
00:50:49.199 --> 00:50:54.559
admission that the teaching is oral and
written even in the Old Testament. So

574
00:50:54.599 --> 00:51:00.840
he doesn't even understand that this isn't
own right, But the traditions are not

575
00:51:01.199 --> 00:51:06.760
all that, So this is a
I'm surprised that Gavin Ortland's approach was so

576
00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:10.400
low tier here actually, given how
much people talk about Gavin Ortland, I

577
00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:16.639
thought, and I expected something a
lot more quality than this. This is

578
00:51:16.719 --> 00:51:23.119
super like basic tier stuff, right, Like, well, Jesus is good

579
00:51:23.280 --> 00:51:29.760
traditions, traditions and men traditions to
me, Yeah, but those are traditions

580
00:51:29.760 --> 00:51:34.400
of men. We're talking about the
traditions of God, which Paul says second

581
00:51:34.440 --> 00:51:39.079
Massalonians two fifteen are written and oral. Famous claim of plus tradition is roughly

582
00:51:39.119 --> 00:51:43.559
equal authorities. The Pharisees could have
objected, but Jesus, where does the

583
00:51:43.559 --> 00:51:47.239
Old Testament explicitly say that it has
a greater authority than are oral traditions.

584
00:51:47.400 --> 00:51:53.760
But of course the Bible need not
anticipate every possible leader Jesus the way.

585
00:51:54.119 --> 00:52:00.400
Yeah, but that doesn't prove that
the idea of there being oral and written

586
00:52:00.519 --> 00:52:07.679
tradition is false. Right, So
that again, anywhere else, this guy

587
00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:12.039
has a new, a new ad. We think about the think about the

588
00:52:12.079 --> 00:52:16.039
serpent oral Torah and what was passed
down and all of these different things.

589
00:52:16.079 --> 00:52:22.119
And Jesus, so here's the mistake
here, because the Pharisees had a false

590
00:52:22.239 --> 00:52:28.000
oral tradition that Jesus, rebuking the
Protestant then thinks that this is a rejection

591
00:52:28.159 --> 00:52:31.840
of all oral tradition. That's silly
again, non secultor. It's always word

592
00:52:31.840 --> 00:52:36.920
concept fallacies and non sequitors. It's
like all it's everything acknowledged that they had

593
00:52:37.679 --> 00:52:42.480
authority. He incurs and do as
the Pharisees say, just don't become like

594
00:52:42.559 --> 00:52:46.239
that. Right, So it's it's
an interesting uh distinction here was right.

595
00:52:47.039 --> 00:52:53.159
Yeah, but I can agree with
that same idea that Jesus is rebuking the

596
00:52:53.199 --> 00:52:58.760
traditions of men and admitting that the
Pharisees have authority, and none of that

597
00:52:58.800 --> 00:53:01.480
has anything to do with proving so
scriptura. We could agree to the exact

598
00:53:01.480 --> 00:53:07.440
same critique that Jesus is making that
Rouslan is making, and yet we still

599
00:53:07.480 --> 00:53:09.719
don't get soul scripture from that.
The oral traditions of the Pharisees like the

600
00:53:09.800 --> 00:53:15.840
greater authority of holy scripture. Yeah, but the oral traditions of the Pharisees

601
00:53:15.920 --> 00:53:20.880
are things that replaced the word of
God. The word of God still has

602
00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:25.559
not been demonstrated to be only written
yet that's just been assumed. Foreans noble

603
00:53:25.639 --> 00:53:31.119
for testing the apostolic message against the
scripture. Yeah, but none of our

604
00:53:31.239 --> 00:53:37.400
position, nobody in our position would
disagree with these texts. So again you

605
00:53:37.440 --> 00:53:44.320
see that checking the things against the
scriptures does not prove sola scriptura. Do

606
00:53:44.360 --> 00:53:49.760
you see how that's a non sequitar
It doesn't follow command is that Apostolic teaching

607
00:53:49.920 --> 00:53:53.440
and even Angelic teaching must be tested
according to the deposit of divine more relation

608
00:53:53.800 --> 00:54:02.480
given in the Apostolic age. But
actually, remember that Paul's standing command to

609
00:54:02.599 --> 00:54:07.360
Timothy and the Thessalonians is not to
only test everything by the written texts.

610
00:54:07.800 --> 00:54:12.559
It's also the things that you heard
from me in the presence of many witnesses,

611
00:54:12.559 --> 00:54:15.679
Paul says to Timothy. So if
they're going to make this an argument

612
00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:21.320
from Paul, then Paul now contradicts
himself because Paul also says to listen to

613
00:54:21.360 --> 00:54:25.440
his oral teachings, which they're equating
to things somehow inferior to what is written

614
00:54:25.480 --> 00:54:30.880
down. Well, where do you
think a lot of Paul's letters come from

615
00:54:30.159 --> 00:54:37.800
their oral teachings written down? This
is behind tests that which is to the

616
00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:40.199
inspired word of God, by that
which is the inspired word of God.

617
00:54:40.239 --> 00:54:46.840
So the entire video just relied on
the non sequitor that word of God equates

618
00:54:46.840 --> 00:54:51.039
to the written text, which was
never demonstrated, and in fact, multiple

619
00:54:51.039 --> 00:54:53.960
texts demonstrate that that's not true in
a contradiction, and that makes sense because

620
00:54:54.079 --> 00:54:59.559
God's speech has greater authority than other
seech. Now, these two considerations scripts

621
00:54:59.639 --> 00:55:04.039
nature in scripture's role don't yet establish, but they lead to the question,

622
00:55:04.519 --> 00:55:07.760
by the way, the nature of
scripture, like he never even addressed that

623
00:55:07.800 --> 00:55:14.440
he's just calling inspiration the quote nature
of scripture. Where was the ontology of

624
00:55:14.480 --> 00:55:17.199
scripture ever mentioned? Because as an
Orthodox person we would have a really excellent

625
00:55:17.239 --> 00:55:23.599
ontology of scripture which would mirror the
synergy in the two natures of Christ.

626
00:55:24.000 --> 00:55:31.239
Right divining human in synergy is the
model for how inspiration occurs and how the

627
00:55:31.280 --> 00:55:36.679
apostles also orally preached the word of
God. It's the same synergy. And

628
00:55:36.679 --> 00:55:39.960
the only difference between orally preaching something
and writing something down is the medium.

629
00:55:40.079 --> 00:55:44.320
That's it. The content is the
same, the authority is the same.

630
00:55:44.800 --> 00:55:50.000
So Peter orally preaching is no different
than somebody writing down what he orally preached.

631
00:55:50.119 --> 00:55:53.559
It's just the medium is different.
But the assumption here is that only

632
00:55:53.599 --> 00:55:58.000
what is written down is authoritative.
But where where does that come from?

633
00:55:59.159 --> 00:56:02.079
None of the text that were shown
prove that they're just assumed and read into

634
00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:07.280
it and in fact, multiple other
texts that reassert and reaffirm the authority of

635
00:56:07.320 --> 00:56:15.280
the oral prove our point that you
cannot read it in this limited, written

636
00:56:15.360 --> 00:56:20.559
only way. How does the church
possess any other rule that is comparable to

637
00:56:20.639 --> 00:56:24.320
scripture with respect to infallibility? What
it cric will be at some point to

638
00:56:24.440 --> 00:56:28.760
oral apostolic traditions that are mentioned in
in New Testament. But these were given.

639
00:56:29.199 --> 00:56:30.960
You noticed that that that he How
long did that stay up there?

640
00:56:30.960 --> 00:56:36.840
For about two seconds? So Gavin
kept that. The other quotes Galvin had

641
00:56:36.920 --> 00:56:40.400
up there for about fifteen to twenty
seconds. The two texts where Paul talks

642
00:56:40.400 --> 00:56:44.639
about there's other texts, but the
two where he mentioned tradition. Let's see

643
00:56:44.679 --> 00:56:47.440
how quick does Gavin allow this to
stay up that is comparable to scripture with

644
00:56:47.559 --> 00:56:54.079
respect to infallibility? What it crip
will be to orso one Mississippi two Mississippi

645
00:56:54.239 --> 00:56:59.440
Missisippi two seconds. So he gave
you two seconds to see versus talking about

646
00:56:59.480 --> 00:57:04.599
tradition interested directly by the apostles during
the era of public revelation while are still

647
00:57:04.639 --> 00:57:07.800
being written. We don't have those
oral traditions, right, You're how do

648
00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:12.199
you know that you're assuming that we
don't have the public oral traditions, and

649
00:57:12.280 --> 00:57:15.320
yet every liturgical scholar can go back
and tell us that, I mean it

650
00:57:15.559 --> 00:57:19.360
actually knows. I mean, even
the Protestant liturgical scholars will tell us that

651
00:57:19.400 --> 00:57:24.519
there's an Apostolic tradition for what the
liturgical services are. So Gavin Ortland just

652
00:57:24.519 --> 00:57:29.159
blew past that, acts like that
doesn't exist, which he probably doesn't even

653
00:57:29.239 --> 00:57:31.840
know that, right, because isn't
he a Baptist? Okay, so is

654
00:57:31.880 --> 00:57:36.039
a Baptist going to know anything about
the history of liturgical worship? Of course

655
00:57:36.079 --> 00:57:38.039
not right, ninety nine point nine
percent of them will not, So no

656
00:57:38.119 --> 00:57:43.320
surprise here that he doesn't. He
just assumes that there is no tradition.

657
00:57:43.880 --> 00:57:45.480
We don't have a And you know, it's funny when most of the time

658
00:57:45.519 --> 00:57:49.559
when Protestants talk about this and you
say, what do you mean we don't

659
00:57:49.559 --> 00:57:53.360
have any oral tradition, they're like, where's it written down? Well?

660
00:57:53.440 --> 00:57:59.480
Number one, again, we're all
just assuming the Protestant mindset here by well,

661
00:57:59.480 --> 00:58:02.239
the oral tradition must be written down
or we can't know it. Oh,

662
00:58:02.280 --> 00:58:07.159
really, let's apply that argument to
the canon. Where's the Protestant canon

663
00:58:07.400 --> 00:58:10.360
in the first second and third century. Oh it's not there, So I

664
00:58:10.360 --> 00:58:16.559
guess we can't know it by your
own standard, can we? Did you

665
00:58:16.599 --> 00:58:20.719
see that? Did you guys notice
this argument? If we apply his same

666
00:58:20.800 --> 00:58:25.159
logic of the bar the criterion of
what's expected to know quote a tradition,

667
00:58:29.079 --> 00:58:31.360
in his case, it's knowing an
oral tradition. If it's not written down

668
00:58:31.440 --> 00:58:37.039
in the first few centuries, it's
unknowable. Okay, let's apply that same

669
00:58:37.360 --> 00:58:43.000
principle to the Protestant canon of Scripture, the Protestant list of books where in

670
00:58:43.039 --> 00:58:45.159
the Church fathers, because there's no
other I mean, unless you want to

671
00:58:45.159 --> 00:58:47.320
go to liturgy. But I don't
think you want to go to liturgy as

672
00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:52.800
a Protestant as a basis for quote
tradition. Okay, where are we going

673
00:58:52.840 --> 00:58:57.639
to get the Protestant list of books? Oh there's not one in the first

674
00:58:57.639 --> 00:59:04.599
three centuries. Oh okay, so
then we can't know the canon according to

675
00:59:04.880 --> 00:59:09.679
your line of argument. You see
how silly this is. Christian bass historical

676
00:59:09.760 --> 00:59:14.920
facts like the date of Easter,
and each side appealed to Apostolic tradition to

677
00:59:14.960 --> 00:59:20.519
defenditive position. Actually, the early
Easter debates appealed to all kinds of things.

678
00:59:20.599 --> 00:59:23.800
They didn't just appeal to quote traditions. So I don't know where he

679
00:59:23.840 --> 00:59:30.280
gets the idea that Pope Victor and
the quarter deesseminarians were only appealing to quote

680
00:59:30.320 --> 00:59:32.800
traditions. I mean, the arguments
were all about all kinds of different stuff.

681
00:59:34.119 --> 00:59:38.559
And actually the arguments were about judaic
readings, right, So it's about

682
00:59:38.599 --> 00:59:45.079
whether we would celebrate Easter according to
a judaic kind of a tradition, or

683
00:59:45.159 --> 00:59:50.760
whether the Church has the authority to
decide how the calendar will go, and

684
00:59:50.920 --> 00:59:55.360
all of this constantly. You'll notice
the move of Protestants inadvertently is to always

685
00:59:55.920 --> 01:00:01.760
tend towards a judaizing tendency. They
just inadvertently automatically do it, and they're

686
01:00:01.800 --> 01:00:07.880
just rehearsing constantly ancient church heresies.
That's why protestantsm is always an historian.

687
01:00:08.320 --> 01:00:14.840
It's always tending towards Arianism. It's
always tending towards Montanism with its weird charismatic

688
01:00:14.960 --> 01:00:20.840
nonsense, gibberish, barking like dogs, rolling around acting like idiots, because

689
01:00:20.840 --> 01:00:27.119
they're just regurgitating every single ancient church
heresy in the first seven centuries. There

690
01:00:27.159 --> 01:00:30.519
is a difference between it and by
the way, there's still a difference between

691
01:00:30.519 --> 01:00:37.639
the Orthodox and the Oriental Orthodox and
the Catholics on when Eastern actually was oral

692
01:00:37.679 --> 01:00:40.559
teachings and what is that supposed to
prove? So Protestants always bring this up

693
01:00:40.559 --> 01:00:45.239
like this is some sort of will
you and Roman Catholics disagree? So what

694
01:00:47.159 --> 01:00:51.679
like? So if I found people
that disagreed with tuplus two equaling four,

695
01:00:52.280 --> 01:00:54.280
what would that have to do with
tuplus who equaling four or not? You

696
01:00:54.280 --> 01:00:58.480
see, this is just silly,
like this comes up all the time.

697
01:00:58.639 --> 01:01:01.360
I'm generally mystified. So why people
think that this is an argument or objection?

698
01:01:02.679 --> 01:01:12.400
Will people disagree? So you don't
know what straight from and the famable

699
01:01:12.400 --> 01:01:15.559
transmission process by which he is preserved. Wait a minute, so the fallible

700
01:01:15.559 --> 01:01:23.920
transmission process. So now Gavin's has
doubled down and doubly admitted that the transmission

701
01:01:24.000 --> 01:01:28.280
of these texts because he doesn't have
a time machine to go back to the

702
01:01:28.320 --> 01:01:30.800
autographa. You understand, there's no
time machine where we can get in and

703
01:01:30.840 --> 01:01:36.480
go back and see what Paul was
actually authoring. It doesn't exist. Those

704
01:01:36.480 --> 01:01:39.880
are called the autographa, the original
Apostolic text. No one has those the

705
01:01:39.920 --> 01:01:51.239
only things that exist are later copies
arranged in different collections and codesies. So

706
01:01:51.280 --> 01:01:55.039
if nobody has Paul's AUTOGRAPHA or Peter's
AUTOGRAPHA, what are we relying on?

707
01:01:55.079 --> 01:01:58.920
Oh, the church tradition. But
you just heard Gavin Ortland say that this

708
01:01:59.039 --> 01:02:05.639
is reformable and fallible. Yeah,
exactly. So every individual Protestant can study

709
01:02:05.679 --> 01:02:09.639
really hard and do a lot of
praying and prayer, praise of worship,

710
01:02:10.159 --> 01:02:15.800
do lots of praise and worship like
Poul Washer. Have you listened to a

711
01:02:15.880 --> 01:02:21.519
lot of Poul Washer. I'm going
to pass around this offering plate full of

712
01:02:21.599 --> 01:02:25.599
smooth small stones, and if I
don't preach according to that Bible over there,

713
01:02:25.639 --> 01:02:29.880
I want you to stone me.
And I'm going to cry right now

714
01:02:29.880 --> 01:02:31.920
because it's the forty five minute markt
my talk, and that's what the spirit

715
01:02:32.000 --> 01:02:37.119
moves me to cry. Give me
money, by the way, because I'm

716
01:02:37.119 --> 01:02:42.480
missionary. You give me money,
a little bit of Paul Washer. Therefore

717
01:02:42.480 --> 01:02:45.280
you, by the way, people
said, did you do your Paul Washer

718
01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:49.039
impression out your life? Event?
Yes, yes I did. I mean

719
01:02:49.039 --> 01:02:51.880
it wasn't long, but you got
you got a little dose of Paul The

720
01:02:52.039 --> 01:02:57.320
positive mechanisms of infallibility, but in
the new custody. Okay, but wait

721
01:02:57.360 --> 01:03:00.119
a minute. If there's no mechanism
of infallibility all to the post episode at

722
01:03:00.199 --> 01:03:07.280
Church, than the books that are
in this book can be reformable. Reformable

723
01:03:07.400 --> 01:03:14.800
that's the terminology of Gavin Ortlandia.
But there is not even a hint of

724
01:03:15.000 --> 01:03:22.000
any posts infallible. And I like
how this guy's whole video is just playing

725
01:03:22.039 --> 01:03:29.079
the Gavin Ortland video and him going
mmmmm mm hmmm. So again super low

726
01:03:29.119 --> 01:03:31.679
tier stuff. And I can't believe
you said that. You're so mean.

727
01:03:31.920 --> 01:03:45.199
Oh you're so mean, so mean
a faculty. I'm so mean. I'm

728
01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:50.039
so mean. I'm so mean,
also mean, I'm so I'm gonna start

729
01:03:50.119 --> 01:03:52.679
up. That's my next song.
It's gonna be an R. R.

730
01:03:52.800 --> 01:04:00.840
Kelly style song. I so mean, I'm so mean, I mean felt

731
01:04:00.880 --> 01:04:03.159
information about the offices in the nature
of the church. Nor did the only

732
01:04:03.239 --> 01:04:11.960
Church exhibit any awareness of possessing an
infallible authority. So when Athanasius speaks of

733
01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:15.960
the Holy Spirit speaking through the Council
of nicea right, So come on,

734
01:04:16.280 --> 01:04:28.440
right. And this quote here is
deceptive because Augustine talks about the authority of

735
01:04:28.480 --> 01:04:32.320
the Church. Augustine was a bishop
who believed that in his day, the

736
01:04:32.360 --> 01:04:36.840
Bishop of Rome had defined the canon
for the West right, so Pope Saint

737
01:04:36.920 --> 01:04:44.000
Damasis in Augustine's writings, had given
the church the dudoaconomical texts as part of

738
01:04:44.000 --> 01:04:48.199
scripture famously. And here we have
Gavin Ortland in a very deceptive way or

739
01:04:48.280 --> 01:04:51.960
ignorant way, because all they do
is quote mine, giving a quote about

740
01:04:53.079 --> 01:04:57.360
the superiority of scripture above a letter
of a bishop. Of course, the

741
01:04:57.400 --> 01:05:01.400
scriptures are above the letter of a
bishop. That isn't but this is totally

742
01:05:01.480 --> 01:05:11.480
deceptive to act like a person who
believed in apostolic oral tradition Augustine that he

743
01:05:11.639 --> 01:05:18.039
taught solo scripture. So just remember
every time Protestants are quote mining, it's

744
01:05:18.079 --> 01:05:23.239
a lie much leader in history that
such an idea develops, and when it

745
01:05:24.119 --> 01:05:29.280
frankly doesn't have a good tracture like
extant, Ignatius says, where the bishop

746
01:05:29.400 --> 01:05:32.920
is right, there's the church.
When you hear the bishop speaking, it's

747
01:05:34.039 --> 01:05:36.760
God the Father, right, the
bishop is liking to God the Father.

748
01:05:36.840 --> 01:05:43.159
I'm not saying the bishop individually is
infallible. We don't believe that basically nobody

749
01:05:43.159 --> 01:05:45.800
believes that. Even Roman Catholics don't
believe that you know, Francis or who,

750
01:05:45.960 --> 01:05:50.039
that they're always infallible. So everybody
has strictures on this to a degree.

751
01:05:50.880 --> 01:05:57.320
Now, I think the Romancolic position
is totally inconsistent, but the Protestant

752
01:05:57.400 --> 01:06:03.199
position, which is the flip side
of the papal position, is totally incoherent

753
01:06:04.000 --> 01:06:12.039
because everything that Gavin Wrtland has said, again remember, undermines the post Episoltic

754
01:06:12.079 --> 01:06:15.079
decision of putting these books together in
the canon. And every time you bring

755
01:06:15.079 --> 01:06:17.800
this up to Protestant what do they
say. No, the scholars can tell

756
01:06:17.880 --> 01:06:24.639
us by going back to Jerome,
and this arbitrary. Why Jerome, I

757
01:06:24.639 --> 01:06:29.480
mean, Jerome doesn't teach solar scriptura. He doesn't teach he believes in absolt

758
01:06:29.519 --> 01:06:32.280
tradition. He believes in bishoprics,
he believes in the Pope of Rome,

759
01:06:33.280 --> 01:06:38.840
he believes in relics, he believes
in the perpetual virginity of Mary. He's

760
01:06:38.880 --> 01:06:48.000
got famous essays against vigilanteus. Right, So by your standards, Jerome,

761
01:06:48.159 --> 01:06:54.239
your one dude is a heretic.
He doesn't teach the Gospel of free grace,

762
01:06:54.599 --> 01:06:58.840
the Gospel of free grace, justification
by faith, the law none.

763
01:07:00.000 --> 01:07:01.920
He doesn't tease that, so he's
a heretic. Oh, but he's gonna

764
01:07:01.920 --> 01:07:05.760
give you the can So a heretic
gives you the canon. This is insane

765
01:07:06.280 --> 01:07:12.760
and it's totally deceptive. It's a
lie. That's why they have to do

766
01:07:12.800 --> 01:07:17.679
this deceptive move of going back to
the Church Fathers quote, minding them to

767
01:07:17.760 --> 01:07:23.920
make them into Protestants. But this
is actually a good thing because we forced

768
01:07:23.920 --> 01:07:29.760
the Protestants into having to now go
to the Church Fathers to try to betray

769
01:07:29.840 --> 01:07:35.400
them as proto Protestants. But that
will quickly be a failed endeavor because anytime

770
01:07:35.440 --> 01:07:40.559
you go into reading the Church Fathers, you will quickly discover just read the

771
01:07:40.559 --> 01:07:45.119
Canons of Nicea, ignorant. Slow
boys out there. I'm not talking about

772
01:07:45.480 --> 01:07:49.280
the Nicene Creed. I'm talking about
that Canons of Nicea. They don't believe

773
01:07:49.280 --> 01:07:55.039
anything like Protestants. Well, the
Church was corrupted by this side. They

774
01:07:55.079 --> 01:07:58.320
had followed away from the Bible,
but they didn't have the Bible yet,

775
01:07:58.840 --> 01:08:01.519
according to James White, so what
are they fall away from? They fell

776
01:08:01.559 --> 01:08:08.320
away from the proto canon of Malito
of Sardis Malito sartist didn't have the Protestant

777
01:08:08.320 --> 01:08:14.000
canon. Well they it was short
circuit. So again they're gonna short circuit.

778
01:08:14.079 --> 01:08:18.880
That's necessary. That's where we're going
in the process of the Protestants losing,

779
01:08:19.119 --> 01:08:24.520
and that's necessary. It's good.
There's nothing wrong with this. Now

780
01:08:24.560 --> 01:08:30.520
he's bringing up Vatican to contradiction the
Church. Yeah, well, I all

781
01:08:30.560 --> 01:08:33.840
agree with this one. So Gavin
Orlin is one point herefore pointing out the

782
01:08:33.880 --> 01:08:41.119
contradiction between cantate Domino and lemageum has
changed from allegedly infallible teaching in the medieval

783
01:08:41.119 --> 01:08:45.279
world to allegedly infallible teaching today.
Attempts to reconcile these problematic changes. Why

784
01:08:45.359 --> 01:08:51.439
is Galvin Ortland playing like Prager University
ad piano music in the background. It's

785
01:08:51.520 --> 01:08:58.079
like, is this I feel like
I'm being hypnotized by this weird piano.

786
01:08:59.000 --> 01:09:00.920
It's not an ad. Feel like
I'm watching an ad for some kind of

787
01:09:01.000 --> 01:09:05.960
like gay Silicon Valley app with this
piano music in the background. It's like

788
01:09:06.000 --> 01:09:12.560
some app that's gonna teach me where
can I find the biggest Skittles evangelical strip?

789
01:09:12.560 --> 01:09:15.840
Mall church? Right, and then
you have this piano playing Welcome to

790
01:09:15.800 --> 01:09:21.159
Gay church. We're going to find
you the greatest skittles non denominational megachurches in

791
01:09:21.199 --> 01:09:26.520
the San Francisco Bay area. Just
sign in here. And they've got this

792
01:09:27.800 --> 01:09:31.520
little piano playing in the background.
And remove the practical value of allegedly infallible

793
01:09:31.560 --> 01:09:36.720
teaching, because evidently it can be
misinterpreted. And where's Rouselan. He's just

794
01:09:38.279 --> 01:09:42.880
this whole video is him just going
like he's hungry. He's going to eat

795
01:09:42.920 --> 01:09:47.079
some some He's gonna eat him some. I don't know what a Rouslan's eat.

796
01:09:47.359 --> 01:09:50.760
I thought that sounds Russian, but
he said he's Oriental Orthodox, So

797
01:09:50.800 --> 01:09:56.920
I don't know. What does a
Ruse lawn eat. Damn, some kind

798
01:09:56.920 --> 01:10:00.800
of some kind of crouch. No, that's what Germans e, some kind

799
01:10:00.840 --> 01:10:04.720
of I don't know, some kind
of stew with water and cabbage in it.

800
01:10:04.760 --> 01:10:06.079
I don't know. Is that what
they eat? I don't know.

801
01:10:06.199 --> 01:10:13.520
Virtually everybody Ford sol is a healthy, good and necessary doctrine because it directs

802
01:10:13.600 --> 01:10:16.920
us to place our ultimate trust,
not infallible human beings who can air.

803
01:10:17.000 --> 01:10:20.760
He's gonna eat some of that Eastern
European beanstalk soup, right? Is that

804
01:10:20.760 --> 01:10:24.880
what they eat over there? But
rather than God and his word which will

805
01:10:24.920 --> 01:10:30.359
never fail us. Shout out,
so Gavin from Truth Unite. I love

806
01:10:30.399 --> 01:10:31.640
that breakdown. I think it's an
important one. And if you actually go

807
01:10:31.680 --> 01:10:36.479
back and watch more conversation with Trent
Horn, we got into Sola scripture and

808
01:10:36.479 --> 01:10:40.840
one of the things I said about
that is, I think it's easy to

809
01:10:40.880 --> 01:10:44.760
straw man Sola scripture when you're looking
at it from a when you're looking at

810
01:10:44.800 --> 01:10:47.720
the I would say, the very
like fringe fundamentalist version of it, versus

811
01:10:47.760 --> 01:10:53.800
looking at it in the context of
how Protestants have always viewed souls. Yeah,

812
01:10:53.800 --> 01:10:56.399
but that's not gonna matter because they're
both just as dumb. So no,

813
01:10:56.520 --> 01:11:01.039
that's the only you'll notice by the
way that look. I mean you're

814
01:11:01.079 --> 01:11:08.399
like, well, Jay, why
are you making this video? And you

815
01:11:08.439 --> 01:11:12.840
know, why are you laughing and
being so uncharitable and so look, we've

816
01:11:12.840 --> 01:11:16.960
been through this for many years now
pretty much in every case when I reach

817
01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:20.479
out to these people, I haven't
talked to Ruslan or anything, but I'm

818
01:11:20.479 --> 01:11:26.359
just saying, on the on the
on the average, what usually happens is

819
01:11:26.640 --> 01:11:30.239
we get people saying, yeah,
we could set this up, we could

820
01:11:30.239 --> 01:11:35.239
have this conversation we have this debate, and multiple times people have been canceled,

821
01:11:35.520 --> 01:11:40.720
right, and or they just out
of hand, no, I don't

822
01:11:40.720 --> 01:11:45.079
want anything to do with you.
And then they come up with some excuse

823
01:11:45.119 --> 01:11:48.399
that, well he's not nice enough. I'm sorry. I just this is

824
01:11:48.479 --> 01:11:54.119
just so soy and ridiculous. I
mean, let's think back to the Matt

825
01:11:54.199 --> 01:11:58.840
Frad days. Oh you mate fraid
Jake DoD will leave it, be onlaw

826
01:11:58.920 --> 01:12:03.560
Channel, be cool on just awesome. And I have this voice and people

827
01:12:03.600 --> 01:12:08.399
love it and like Crocodile Dundee and
all that stuff. Right, why would

828
01:12:08.399 --> 01:12:13.119
I hear He's mean, really mean? So the best that they've come up

829
01:12:13.119 --> 01:12:17.560
with is mean. And you know
what's funny is that? So I spent

830
01:12:17.640 --> 01:12:24.159
the whole last like three days in
Los Angeles in a bunch of comedy circles.

831
01:12:24.720 --> 01:12:26.880
So we were hanging out with all
these different comedy people, and we

832
01:12:26.920 --> 01:12:32.199
went to multiple comedy shows. And
what's funny is that in the comedy world,

833
01:12:33.720 --> 01:12:39.439
like it's standard to be roasted.
Okay, I wasn't involved in roasting,

834
01:12:39.520 --> 01:12:45.359
but people were talking about their classic
roasts. People were getting roasted.

835
01:12:45.239 --> 01:12:49.800
Sam Tripley was roasting people multiple for
like thirty minutes in two different sets.

836
01:12:50.039 --> 01:12:57.359
Okay, the comedians are roasting each
other. The only reason that Tim Gordon

837
01:12:57.359 --> 01:13:00.000
and I got to be buddies is
that we we we're roasting each other,

838
01:13:00.039 --> 01:13:01.720
make jokes, and he thought it
was funny that I was calling him the

839
01:13:01.760 --> 01:13:08.359
creed dude, and so then we
got to be So Tim is a real

840
01:13:08.399 --> 01:13:10.439
one. That's what I'm trying to
say, right, Because people that can

841
01:13:10.439 --> 01:13:17.199
take a joke and laugh, you
can already kind of tell about their personality,

842
01:13:17.840 --> 01:13:23.439
whether they're stable people or not,
and whether they can, you know,

843
01:13:25.079 --> 01:13:29.159
just freaking act normal. But most
people can't. They can't handle this.

844
01:13:29.199 --> 01:13:32.359
They're super emotional. Go watch the
video that we just posted from my

845
01:13:32.479 --> 01:13:39.000
Andrew Bustamante talk where actually the CIA
dude was saying this very thing, saying

846
01:13:39.000 --> 01:13:45.800
that people can't actually handle these challenging
situations and they become emotional, and that

847
01:13:45.359 --> 01:13:49.640
other people play on that manipulate people
through that. So all I'm trying to

848
01:13:49.640 --> 01:13:54.760
say is that this is just a
super weak excuse that people won't have those

849
01:13:54.800 --> 01:14:00.000
conversations because number one, we have
countless interviews, countless shows, countless debates

850
01:14:00.720 --> 01:14:05.640
where everything is perfectly civil, perfectly
formal, all these people will do is

851
01:14:05.640 --> 01:14:09.159
then say, oh, but look
at this blood sport that you did six

852
01:14:09.239 --> 01:14:13.039
years ago, where you're arguing with
some idiot who was acting like a complete

853
01:14:13.039 --> 01:14:16.199
idiot, and you dared to call
him a complete idiot. That's just not

854
01:14:16.319 --> 01:14:20.760
pios. I mean, it's just
disgusting. Right now, I'm not saying

855
01:14:20.840 --> 01:14:28.079
Rousselan did this. I've never talked
to Rousalan, but I'm already guessing that

856
01:14:28.119 --> 01:14:33.000
there's this convenient excuse that, well, I don't have to interact with him

857
01:14:33.000 --> 01:14:36.960
because he mean, what does it
even mean to say mean that? I

858
01:14:38.000 --> 01:14:41.680
don't even know what that means?
Mean? Is that a fat joke?

859
01:14:41.800 --> 01:14:46.119
Is that? What mean? Really? If you get your feeling term or

860
01:14:46.119 --> 01:14:49.479
a fat joke, you're not going
to be an Internet figure for very long

861
01:14:50.560 --> 01:15:00.840
because the Internet will rip you apart
for everything anyway. So and people that

862
01:15:00.920 --> 01:15:03.760
have larger size channels, they've been
ripped apart, I'm sure many many times.

863
01:15:03.960 --> 01:15:10.039
So it's not that that's the point. It's not that somehow magically mean

864
01:15:10.079 --> 01:15:13.119
and meaner than all the other people
on the internet. Shutter. That's not

865
01:15:13.199 --> 01:15:16.239
actually the case. So it's an
excuse, is what it is. And

866
01:15:16.279 --> 01:15:20.439
look, people don't want to have
their worldviews challenge. Of course not,

867
01:15:20.680 --> 01:15:24.920
and we know that, and that's
why it doesn't really bother me. I'm

868
01:15:24.920 --> 01:15:32.880
not bothered that people don't want to
talk to me because we don't have to

869
01:15:32.880 --> 01:15:38.319
have all these people right Like,
I can just put out my content and

870
01:15:38.399 --> 01:15:43.640
people can listen or not listen.
I just can't stand the piety signaling.

871
01:15:43.680 --> 01:15:45.439
Like the dudes today, the first
two dudes that we're talking about, the

872
01:15:45.479 --> 01:15:53.319
evangelical Skittles couple guy, like,
those guys talked mad crap. And then

873
01:15:54.359 --> 01:15:57.039
all I did was ask them in
the comments, would you guys like to

874
01:15:57.039 --> 01:16:01.359
come to bate? I didn't say
anything mean to them, literally nothing mean,

875
01:16:02.000 --> 01:16:05.039
would you guys like to come to
me? Because I assumed that if

876
01:16:05.079 --> 01:16:10.680
somebody does a two hour live stream
and they're talking mad crap, like,

877
01:16:10.760 --> 01:16:12.960
okay, well do they want a
debate? I guess I mean, is

878
01:16:12.960 --> 01:16:15.079
that what they're after here? Because
they're calling me out? I assume that

879
01:16:15.000 --> 01:16:18.000
that that's but no, but no, how dare you offer me a debate?

880
01:16:18.119 --> 01:16:20.680
He's like, you're a debate bro? You want dude? You're sitting

881
01:16:20.720 --> 01:16:25.039
there calling me out, and I
assume that means you want to have a

882
01:16:25.079 --> 01:16:30.359
debate. But then what I'm what
I'm learning is that people want to just

883
01:16:30.520 --> 01:16:35.199
talk smack and never have any accountability
for what they say. That's literally what

884
01:16:35.199 --> 01:16:40.920
I'm learning. In fact, one
dude like a month ago, who was

885
01:16:40.920 --> 01:16:44.439
like a young twenty year old dude. Remember when I invited that guy on

886
01:16:44.640 --> 01:16:46.479
like all the smack talkers and I
was like, so, what what are

887
01:16:46.520 --> 01:16:48.920
you mad about? He's like,
why do you reply to the people who

888
01:16:48.960 --> 01:16:53.840
talk smack to you? And I'm
like, why not? It seems like

889
01:16:53.880 --> 01:16:56.680
they want He's like, that's what
is supposed to happen. I'm like,

890
01:16:56.720 --> 01:16:59.239
what do you mean that's what's supposed
to happen. He's like, there's we're

891
01:16:59.279 --> 01:17:02.920
supposed to try to tear you down
and you are not supposed to respond to

892
01:17:03.000 --> 01:17:06.439
us. That's literally what he said. And I'm like, what so you

893
01:17:06.520 --> 01:17:11.520
ever said? Howpathetic? That sounds
like you want to be able to say

894
01:17:11.560 --> 01:17:17.640
anything with absolutely no consequences and no
accountability for the claims that you say.

895
01:17:17.760 --> 01:17:21.520
And I think that's actually the case. That's what this is. People don't

896
01:17:21.560 --> 01:17:28.399
want they're not even man enough to
like just deal with the challenges and the

897
01:17:28.439 --> 01:17:40.720
argumentation anyway. All right, So
that's Ruslan in this first argument. This

898
01:17:40.760 --> 01:17:43.279
one is kind of long, so
I'm not gonna play this. We're gonna

899
01:17:43.279 --> 01:17:45.079
go ahead and probably open it up. We got a lot of people in

900
01:17:45.119 --> 01:17:48.520
the chat here. If you have
questions, challenges, issues, topics,

901
01:17:48.560 --> 01:17:57.840
debates, We've got a nice over
thousand today. Boom roasted exactly exactly.

902
01:17:58.640 --> 01:18:00.119
I've invited people to come on and
roast me. I don't care like it

903
01:18:00.159 --> 01:18:02.840
doesn't If you hang out with a
bunch of comedians, you're gonna get roasted

904
01:18:03.000 --> 01:18:08.720
and it's fun. Like, I
don't understand why people don't want to enjoy

905
01:18:09.000 --> 01:18:13.279
the creativity that goes into roasting.
Remember that one dude called in or no,

906
01:18:13.399 --> 01:18:15.600
Austin, it was Austin Peterson.
Forget it. I'm like, dude,

907
01:18:15.720 --> 01:18:17.000
let me help you out to roast
me. Like you're trying to roast

908
01:18:17.000 --> 01:18:20.560
me. He's like, you look
like you stink and you don't have showers.

909
01:18:20.560 --> 01:18:23.319
I'm like, dude, you could
at least make fun of my rebel

910
01:18:23.359 --> 01:18:27.279
tooth, Like I got a rebellious
tooth over here. I've made fun of

911
01:18:27.319 --> 01:18:29.960
that, and you're over here making
like fourth grade jokes. Come on,

912
01:18:30.000 --> 01:18:32.680
man, you gotta step it up. Base philosophies ys are five dollars.

913
01:18:32.680 --> 01:18:34.880
I'm not gonna say around for the
stream, but I want to shout you

914
01:18:34.920 --> 01:18:42.960
out, all right, doll TND
five dollars. If Hellenic and religious platonic

915
01:18:43.000 --> 01:18:45.840
philosophy dismisses the material world as fake
and gray, that's not what he said.

916
01:18:45.880 --> 01:18:49.039
I had to that. Why was
there so much emphasis on physical beauty,

917
01:18:49.039 --> 01:18:57.600
strength and power and martial values and
athleticism. So Hellenic philosophy is not

918
01:18:57.760 --> 01:19:03.000
a monolithic thing. So certain philosophers
would have been more hedonistic and would have

919
01:19:03.000 --> 01:19:06.039
been maybe stoic, and would have
emphasized those things. Could you make me

920
01:19:06.079 --> 01:19:12.520
one more coffee before you go?
Thank you? So there were hedonists.

921
01:19:13.119 --> 01:19:18.119
There were Epicureans who would have been
absolutely pro physical beauty. They were not

922
01:19:19.199 --> 01:19:24.399
degenerates like a lot of people think
Epicureanism is like totally no. No.

923
01:19:24.439 --> 01:19:29.800
I mean to the Epicureans, the
height of pleasure would be like, you

924
01:19:29.800 --> 01:19:33.039
know, wine and cheese in a
philosophical conversation. But they didn't think that

925
01:19:33.079 --> 01:19:39.359
physical beauty, strength and power were
like bad. So Hellenic philosophy is not

926
01:19:39.439 --> 01:19:44.479
a monolithic thing. And I think
Aristotle would be very pro body. But

927
01:19:44.840 --> 01:19:50.520
it's Neil Platonism, Platonic strands that
emphasized the transcendent to the negation of the

928
01:19:50.520 --> 01:19:54.399
here and the now. That would
be the people engaged in that. And

929
01:19:54.399 --> 01:19:59.000
I would say that the Orthodox tradition, how could we be anti matter when

930
01:19:59.159 --> 01:20:02.159
the God of the universe assumed matter? Shawn two dollars. If the Kingdom

931
01:20:02.199 --> 01:20:05.680
is the Church, why is it
Christ of the Church is within us in

932
01:20:05.760 --> 01:20:10.039
Luke seventeen twenty one. That's because
it's both, right, So it's not

933
01:20:10.079 --> 01:20:13.119
in either or. The Kingdom is
the presence of the Holy Spirit. That's

934
01:20:13.119 --> 01:20:15.399
why Pentecost is so important to the
life of the Church. So the Holy

935
01:20:15.439 --> 01:20:18.560
Spirit dwells in us, in our
in our hearts, and in the Church

936
01:20:18.600 --> 01:20:25.760
as a collective body. Jesus says
it's within us, which sounds like Protestantism.

937
01:20:25.880 --> 01:20:30.880
No, why would I mean,
every Christian tradition out there would believe

938
01:20:30.960 --> 01:20:38.279
that the Holy Spirit is within us, So how would the verse be quote

939
01:20:38.319 --> 01:20:43.279
Protestant. There's no Protestant verses that
doesn't exist. So what I'm saying is

940
01:20:43.279 --> 01:20:50.159
that the Holy Spirit dwelling within us
does not mean that there's no external reality

941
01:20:50.199 --> 01:20:54.720
of the Holy Spirit. Right,
So what Protestism typically does is it takes

942
01:20:54.760 --> 01:21:00.279
one verse and it exclusivizes that verse
and excludes all the others. Right,

943
01:21:00.359 --> 01:21:03.600
So Jesus says that the gates of
Hell would not prevail against the Kingdom,

944
01:21:03.880 --> 01:21:09.920
which is a collective body the Church. Paul says in his letters that you

945
01:21:10.000 --> 01:21:13.279
are the body of Christ. He
says, the church at Ephesus, you

946
01:21:13.319 --> 01:21:16.479
are the body. He doesn't say
that it's an invisible body. He says,

947
01:21:16.520 --> 01:21:20.600
the actual physical group that meets at
Ephesus, you are the body of

948
01:21:20.680 --> 01:21:28.039
Christ. So it's not and cannot
be an invisible church. Icono Matt five

949
01:21:28.079 --> 01:21:30.039
dollars. I love your stuff.
My cousin is Protestant, and he was

950
01:21:30.079 --> 01:21:34.560
saying that the Book of Acts,
every time the apostles baptize, they do

951
01:21:34.600 --> 01:21:38.760
it in the name of Jesus and
not the Trinity. That's just a stand

952
01:21:38.800 --> 01:21:41.600
in, Okay, Does it literally
mean that they only repeat the name of

953
01:21:41.680 --> 01:21:45.960
Jesus. H And again, I
mean, I think that there's way more

954
01:21:45.960 --> 01:21:50.560
fundamental issues with your oneness, Pentecostal
friend there, which would be the Trinity

955
01:21:50.600 --> 01:21:54.760
itself. So rather than debating about
the name of Jesus the Book of Acts,

956
01:21:55.680 --> 01:21:58.760
we need to start talking about the
Trinity. Okay, in the Book

957
01:21:58.760 --> 01:22:02.199
of John. Just take your buddy
through, you know, John fourteen to

958
01:22:02.279 --> 01:22:06.000
seventeen and look at all the references
to Father, Son and Spirit in those

959
01:22:06.000 --> 01:22:10.920
passages. Those are the most trinitarian
passages. In fact, I've lectured through

960
01:22:10.960 --> 01:22:14.640
the entire Gospel of John. Like
these goober Protestants who said that, I

961
01:22:14.720 --> 01:22:16.880
quote, never go to the Bible, We've lectured through the entire Book of

962
01:22:16.920 --> 01:22:21.520
Genesis. We've lectured through the entire
Book of John. And every chapter of

963
01:22:21.560 --> 01:22:28.279
the Book of John includes deity of
Christ and or Trinity. J I T

964
01:22:28.520 --> 01:22:32.199
S two Q two dollars, Hi, J thank you, JITs to Q

965
01:22:34.000 --> 01:22:39.199
storm the cap five dollars in June
too. There looks like Taoist influence.

966
01:22:39.359 --> 01:22:44.640
I would not be surprised because they
talk about the religion is Zen Sunni,

967
01:22:45.560 --> 01:22:50.600
is Zen Sunni Catholicism. So it's
a perennialus merged type of thing, and

968
01:22:50.840 --> 01:22:56.199
I've talked about that extensively. This
is because of the legend of Lao Zi.

969
01:22:57.119 --> 01:23:00.600
He had knowledge and wisdom of an
enlightened philosopher and his and his mom's

970
01:23:00.640 --> 01:23:04.399
womb before he was born. And
this is like Alia Paul's sister. Absolutely,

971
01:23:04.520 --> 01:23:09.880
I think you're a spot on there. You know, Dune definitely borrows

972
01:23:09.920 --> 01:23:14.760
Frank Herbert borrows from multiple religious traditions. Arena Dacian blood. By the way,

973
01:23:14.880 --> 01:23:18.520
that's a good point because I actually
forgot to mention the zen elements in

974
01:23:20.520 --> 01:23:25.520
my Dinge andn elyses, So thank
you for pointing Arena Dacian blood. Three

975
01:23:25.560 --> 01:23:29.000
dollars. What's the What is going
on with the OCA? I have no

976
01:23:29.039 --> 01:23:31.159
idea, so I'm not in the
OCA. Couldn't tell you. Can you

977
01:23:31.279 --> 01:23:36.600
update about Bishop Gilitzen. I don't
know anything about it. Couldn't tell you

978
01:23:36.640 --> 01:23:44.119
what's going on. I would say, rather than worrying about jurisdictions per se,

979
01:23:44.880 --> 01:23:46.520
you know, in terms of your
saying worsh I go to church,

980
01:23:47.119 --> 01:23:53.680
just visit the local churches and find
out which of the local priests is the

981
01:23:53.720 --> 01:23:56.960
best fit for you, and I
wouldn't worry so much about jurisdictions. Alula

982
01:23:57.039 --> 01:24:01.560
five dollars. Jay, I wanted
to say that the Protestants that you're talking

983
01:24:01.560 --> 01:24:04.800
about here are cowards and they're not
men worthy of any respect. You know,

984
01:24:04.840 --> 01:24:08.720
this is typically what happens, and
that's what I'm getting at here is.

985
01:24:08.760 --> 01:24:12.359
I'm not about rouse Lam, but
the two guys the beginning who basically

986
01:24:12.439 --> 01:24:15.720
made an entire podcast and all these
clips about how awful I am and all

987
01:24:15.720 --> 01:24:19.520
this stuff. And then I,
in a very kind, polite didn't say

988
01:24:19.520 --> 01:24:23.520
anything mean way, asked them to
come in debate, and then they lie

989
01:24:23.560 --> 01:24:26.439
and they run away. So that's
exactly what they're snakes and cowards exactly.

990
01:24:26.560 --> 01:24:30.560
Chase Haggard three dollars. I debated
Matt Slick a few nights ago. Oh,

991
01:24:30.720 --> 01:24:33.680
interesting to know that he rambled and
appealed to I know what the interpretation

992
01:24:33.800 --> 01:24:36.039
is because I read it. Yeah, so the text means what it says,

993
01:24:36.039 --> 01:24:42.760
says what it means. Very naive
approach to how interpretation actually works.

994
01:24:43.800 --> 01:24:47.920
He appealed to his autism. I
don't understand how people are trying to defend

995
01:24:47.920 --> 01:24:54.800
this. Actually, I would rather
Matt Slick appeal to the tism than to

996
01:24:54.840 --> 01:24:59.199
the spirit, because in his debate
with Father Deacon and Aias he appealed to

997
01:24:59.279 --> 01:25:03.039
the Holy Spirit. Maybe he's confusing
the two comfy friend three dollars. Did

998
01:25:03.039 --> 01:25:06.880
you see that Father Stevens, I
don't know who Father Stevens is had a

999
01:25:06.880 --> 01:25:11.760
conversation with Gavin Orland. I have
not Oh you mean father Stephen to young.

1000
01:25:12.560 --> 01:25:15.359
I have not watched that yet.
It was a conversation, but Father

1001
01:25:15.640 --> 01:25:18.600
made Gavin's position look silly. Oh
good glad he No, I've not seen

1002
01:25:18.640 --> 01:25:21.840
that dation blood three dollars, Jay, would you consider making a few videos

1003
01:25:21.920 --> 01:25:28.560
on Orthodox spirituality. I'm not your
spiritual father, so probably not. And

1004
01:25:28.600 --> 01:25:30.520
then you get into moral issues and
all this kind of stuff. Now it's

1005
01:25:30.560 --> 01:25:40.960
not The people have roles and things
that are appropriate to them, and that's

1006
01:25:40.960 --> 01:25:45.520
not appropriate for me. Five gives
five dollars. This is a salute to

1007
01:25:45.039 --> 01:25:54.039
mauger In Christ from Jipiland, Romania. Okay, thank you, Logan Daily

1008
01:25:54.079 --> 01:25:58.720
five dollars. Who are the final
bosses of Protestant and papal apologetics? Will

1009
01:25:58.720 --> 01:26:01.600
you ever get to refute them?
Well? I guess. I mean,

1010
01:26:01.960 --> 01:26:14.000
I thought James White performed pretty poorly
against Trent Horn. Thank you. I

1011
01:26:14.000 --> 01:26:16.000
can't, I mean, can anyway? I feel like we already know who

1012
01:26:16.039 --> 01:26:19.159
the final bosses would be. I
mean, but James White doesn't do a

1013
01:26:19.159 --> 01:26:25.600
whole lot of debates as much.
I don't think he won his Trent Horn

1014
01:26:25.640 --> 01:26:28.720
debate. That doesn't mean that I
think Roman catholsy. I actually think the

1015
01:26:28.760 --> 01:26:33.079
funny part about the Trent Horne James
White debate was that James White brought up

1016
01:26:33.199 --> 01:26:39.840
great contradictions in Rumman Catholic dogma changing
towards the end of the debate, But

1017
01:26:39.920 --> 01:26:42.760
that wasn't the topic of the debate. The topic of the debate was sole

1018
01:26:42.800 --> 01:26:48.560
scriptura. So yeah, so I
guess James White is the final boss of

1019
01:26:48.640 --> 01:26:53.840
Protestant apologetics. I don't know who
else. I mean, if this is

1020
01:26:53.880 --> 01:26:57.880
the best that Gavin Ortland has that
was super weak, who's the best of

1021
01:26:57.920 --> 01:27:09.800
papal apologetics? I don't know.
You tell me, I mean, is

1022
01:27:09.840 --> 01:27:19.880
it what? By the way,
I guess Luigi debated. I forget the

1023
01:27:19.920 --> 01:27:26.560
hispanic dude's name, but he's like
he's at Barr's disciple, and Luigi debated

1024
01:27:26.640 --> 01:27:29.479
him, and Luigi and I are
going to be doing a debate review this

1025
01:27:29.560 --> 01:27:33.000
weekend. But I don't that that
guy wouldn't be the final boss. I

1026
01:27:33.000 --> 01:27:35.319
don't even know, you guys,
tell me who the final boss is?

1027
01:27:35.520 --> 01:27:39.000
Who's even left? Is it?
I guess it's just Trent. I mean,

1028
01:27:39.760 --> 01:27:45.439
is there anybody else that's better at
papal apologetics than Trent, I mean

1029
01:27:47.079 --> 01:27:50.439
Taylor Marshall. I mean Taylor Marshall
doesn't do debates, so how is he

1030
01:27:50.479 --> 01:27:55.600
the best? I mean I asked
Taylor Marshall to debate and he blocked me.

1031
01:27:55.680 --> 01:28:00.279
So what do you what does that
tell you? DC? What working?

1032
01:28:00.319 --> 01:28:02.880
Five dollars? Thank you so much, Petro Guard five dollars, Sola,

1033
01:28:03.039 --> 01:28:10.560
nub Tura, We follow the nub
alone. I did integrate a little

1034
01:28:10.560 --> 01:28:15.479
bit of Richard Dawkin's nub into my
impression stand up routine, so thank you

1035
01:28:15.520 --> 01:28:21.079
for that, Gigo, five dollars. Given the doctrine of deification of creations,

1036
01:28:21.119 --> 01:28:25.800
such as it relating to icons,
crosses, and relics, why would

1037
01:28:25.800 --> 01:28:29.199
you not wear one hundred cross and
necklaces and cover your house with icons?

1038
01:28:30.479 --> 01:28:33.680
You should and so you would.
You would then look like basically an orthodox

1039
01:28:33.720 --> 01:28:38.680
flave of flave, and that is
what I advocate. JITs two, Q

1040
01:28:38.920 --> 01:28:44.159
two dollars. What are your three
biggest tips that you would tell yourself if

1041
01:28:44.199 --> 01:28:45.960
you were eighteen? Again, Oh, that's a good question. Then we're

1042
01:28:45.960 --> 01:28:49.800
going to open it up to Q
and A. Here we got several people

1043
01:28:49.840 --> 01:28:56.399
here in the chat. Shout out
to our bros and sisters. In the

1044
01:28:56.520 --> 01:29:01.039
chat on x So if you want
to ask your questions, bring your comments

1045
01:29:01.039 --> 01:29:06.640
and your challenges, you can do
that through the link in the show description

1046
01:29:08.399 --> 01:29:15.840
Twitter space, so you call in
through the Twitter space right here. So

1047
01:29:15.880 --> 01:29:19.359
the nub thing comes from. I
didn't even realize this until Jamie was talking

1048
01:29:19.359 --> 01:29:24.479
about it in her chat, but
basically because of the joke I guess that

1049
01:29:24.560 --> 01:29:32.199
I made a while back that because
you know Richard Dawkins defending like evolutionary theory,

1050
01:29:32.279 --> 01:29:38.039
and the whole idea is that the
mutations that occur that continue on are

1051
01:29:38.079 --> 01:29:42.680
for the advantage of the species.
And my joke was, okay, well,

1052
01:29:42.720 --> 01:29:45.359
what does one eighth of a ppe
do? Right? Like? What

1053
01:29:45.439 --> 01:29:47.840
advantage is one eighth of a pepe? Maybe Richard Dawkins knows from experience,

1054
01:29:47.920 --> 01:29:51.640
right, But like a nub?
Like what advantage are you gonna get from

1055
01:29:51.640 --> 01:29:56.119
a nub? Right? Like?
What is one sixtieth of a teat of

1056
01:29:56.159 --> 01:30:00.000
a breast? How does that an
advantage to the species? You see?

1057
01:30:00.039 --> 01:30:02.279
You see how silly this is?
Anyway, So I did include some of

1058
01:30:02.319 --> 01:30:11.640
that in my routine. But my
three biggest tips. First biggest tip would

1059
01:30:11.640 --> 01:30:14.960
be one hundred dollars. Second,
biggest tip would be two hundred dollars and

1060
01:30:15.000 --> 01:30:20.720
the third biggest tip would be bitcoin. So those three tips, just kidding,

1061
01:30:21.199 --> 01:30:31.520
three tips. Don't go to college, start your own business, and

1062
01:30:31.600 --> 01:30:34.840
buy bitcoin. How's that be?
Like? What? What is bitcoin?

1063
01:30:35.399 --> 01:30:42.000
This is the year nineteen ninety eight. How do we just just listen for

1064
01:30:42.119 --> 01:30:45.039
this and when you hear it,
buy it? So go on the nerd

1065
01:30:45.079 --> 01:30:51.279
forums, in the freaking Pokemon card
forums or wherever you get that stuff and

1066
01:30:51.319 --> 01:30:57.199
buy bit. There you go,
And so what's my what's my uh advice?

1067
01:30:57.479 --> 01:31:00.680
Today? The same stuff? All
right, So we're gonna open it

1068
01:31:00.800 --> 01:31:10.239
up. If you would like to
come on. You can ask a question,

1069
01:31:10.359 --> 01:31:13.880
you can make an argument. That
doesn't mean argue with me. That

1070
01:31:13.960 --> 01:31:18.359
means make an argument. And to
make an argument means that you have a

1071
01:31:18.399 --> 01:31:26.760
premise, you have supporting evidence,
and you come to some kind of conclusion

1072
01:31:26.760 --> 01:31:30.640
on the basis of those things.
It does not mean that you machine guns

1073
01:31:30.680 --> 01:31:35.880
spit out your position. It doesn't
mean that your machine guns spit out to

1074
01:31:35.920 --> 01:31:44.600
me. The history of Wakanda and
the pyramids and how we was kings and

1075
01:31:44.640 --> 01:31:49.159
the ancient Hebrew Nephelin god. People
could fly the pyramids around I'm not joking

1076
01:31:49.159 --> 01:31:54.159
because every time I do this we
get this guy, multiple of those kinds

1077
01:31:54.159 --> 01:31:56.560
of dudes. I don't need to
care. I don't care about your hermetic,

1078
01:31:56.600 --> 01:32:00.760
alchemical, esoteric gibberish. I don't
believe it. I don't want to

1079
01:32:00.800 --> 01:32:04.479
hear about that. I want to
hear the argument for it. Those are

1080
01:32:04.479 --> 01:32:12.239
two different things. An argument is
not a story. Well, we have

1081
01:32:12.319 --> 01:32:17.119
an ancient lineage where the gods.
That's a story. What's the argument for

1082
01:32:17.159 --> 01:32:24.319
that? So the way it goes
is your request to speak. I'll give

1083
01:32:24.359 --> 01:32:27.000
you a microphone. Next up as
first up as sperguio. What's up?

1084
01:32:27.039 --> 01:32:35.680
Spurgio a Spurgio? Are you blueberl
Abril? What's going on? Bro?

1085
01:32:35.800 --> 01:32:41.279
You got to unmute. What's up? Man? So? Are your Orthodoxy

1086
01:32:41.439 --> 01:32:45.079
correct? Yes, sir, I
am Orthodoxy. I am all of Orthodoxy.

1087
01:32:45.039 --> 01:32:48.479
Okay, good. So I don't
want to say that I'm Protestant or

1088
01:32:48.800 --> 01:32:54.239
Orthodoxy or a Catholic. I'll usually
just call myself a polar it's just Orthodoxy.

1089
01:32:54.439 --> 01:33:00.079
Yeah. So my thing against Orthodoxy
is that a lot of the uh

1090
01:33:00.359 --> 01:33:05.399
whatever they came together during during the
meetings to decide what was going to be

1091
01:33:05.520 --> 01:33:09.439
you know, put into the Bible, or what we would all agree on

1092
01:33:09.520 --> 01:33:15.039
should be agreed upon all together.
It was usually based upon dreams, like

1093
01:33:15.159 --> 01:33:17.079
all all they would all have.
They would all come together every day and

1094
01:33:17.119 --> 01:33:20.319
they would talk about their dreams,
and if certain people had dreams that matched

1095
01:33:20.399 --> 01:33:27.600
up, then that would help them
to decide what was going to uh you

1096
01:33:27.640 --> 01:33:30.920
know, be a part of the
I'm gonna assume that that was a troll

1097
01:33:31.159 --> 01:33:38.800
because that's just that was so silly. Uh fda, you don't have the

1098
01:33:38.840 --> 01:33:43.560
request to speak. I've already I've
already sent you the the invite to co

1099
01:33:43.680 --> 01:33:47.319
host. Yes, all, yeah, all the ecumenical councils were just people

1100
01:33:47.319 --> 01:33:53.640
coming together on the basis of dreams. Basically just a big psychoanalysis, you

1101
01:33:53.680 --> 01:34:05.560
know. Uh the Seymour h m
hmm. It was a very odd trolling

1102
01:34:06.079 --> 01:34:15.720
dreams. You gotta unmute Seymour,
feed me Seymour, feed me Seymour on

1103
01:34:16.000 --> 01:34:30.000
mute or don't so you don't have
to request this. Father Diggan, do

1104
01:34:30.039 --> 01:34:31.880
you want to come on or let
me see if I can do it a

1105
01:34:31.880 --> 01:34:40.600
different way. There we go.
Next up is hex Nube. Sorry,

1106
01:34:40.880 --> 01:34:44.479
I don't know what happened, alright, you're on here, hex Nube.

1107
01:34:44.479 --> 01:34:59.399
What's up? Man? I'm mute, uh mute. I want to un

1108
01:34:59.560 --> 01:35:03.520
mute my soul for you. I
want to on me my soul. Lord.

1109
01:35:03.840 --> 01:35:10.560
Yep, sorry about that. Just
had a question, how would you

1110
01:35:10.640 --> 01:35:15.359
respond to Calvinists that appeal to Augustine's
view of predestination? And can you go

1111
01:35:15.560 --> 01:35:20.039
a little bit can you go into
a little bit of how Calvinists are considered

1112
01:35:20.079 --> 01:35:27.560
a historian, Sure, so it
is true that Augustine teaches double predestine well

1113
01:35:28.199 --> 01:35:31.279
single predestination, and then kind of
I wouldn't say double predestination, but he

1114
01:35:31.279 --> 01:35:35.800
doesn't have a problem basically saying that
the number of the elect is fixed so

1115
01:35:35.880 --> 01:35:43.000
to be precise single predestination. But
we also think he taught other mistakes as

1116
01:35:43.039 --> 01:35:46.880
well, and the error on predestination
has to do with his view of divine

1117
01:35:46.880 --> 01:35:51.720
simplicity. So, starting with reasoning
about God from the divine essence, which

1118
01:35:51.760 --> 01:35:56.600
you see all throughout the Confessions,
he has a lot of problems. For

1119
01:35:56.640 --> 01:35:59.840
example, and he expresses us in
Confessions he says, I don't understand how

1120
01:36:00.319 --> 01:36:04.680
an eternal, absolutely simple God could
act in time and space and do different

1121
01:36:04.720 --> 01:36:09.319
actions. And so for example,
we see that Gregor Palomos, when he's

1122
01:36:09.319 --> 01:36:13.560
debating with Barleam, says that God
rested on the seventh day from his work

1123
01:36:13.600 --> 01:36:16.079
of creation. So clearly the work
of creation is not the same as the

1124
01:36:16.119 --> 01:36:19.319
work of walking on water. They're
two different actions of God. So we

1125
01:36:19.359 --> 01:36:23.399
have to have an essence centergy distinction. Augustine does not teach the essen sentergy

1126
01:36:23.399 --> 01:36:28.199
distinction. But also strictly in terms
of predestination, the order is out of

1127
01:36:28.199 --> 01:36:31.920
whack. So the order of theology, like the Protestants do, begins with

1128
01:36:32.439 --> 01:36:36.720
the divine essence and the divine decree. We're not told about the divine decree.

1129
01:36:36.800 --> 01:36:42.800
We're told about Christ the Trinity.
So theology begins with the Trinity,

1130
01:36:43.199 --> 01:36:45.680
and then it moves to Christology.
And that's the actual process of the ecumenical

1131
01:36:45.720 --> 01:36:53.000
councils. And unfortunately, Augustinian theology, I should say fortunately, not unfortunately,

1132
01:36:53.079 --> 01:36:56.800
Augustine theology is not what's accepted as
the ecumenical teaching on the Trinity.

1133
01:36:56.880 --> 01:37:01.840
It's the Cappadocian teaching. So constant
to double one is the Cappadocian Trinitarian model

1134
01:37:01.840 --> 01:37:09.880
that's accepted for the Church. The
West professes to accept that and by the

1135
01:37:09.880 --> 01:37:12.840
time we get to the late Middle
Ages, it has already gone off into

1136
01:37:13.039 --> 01:37:16.720
deviating into the doctrines of the Filioque
and beginning to adopt to create a grace.

1137
01:37:16.760 --> 01:37:19.159
I'm not saying that all the West
was lost. I'm just saying that

1138
01:37:19.159 --> 01:37:23.600
that's the direction it goes. In
part of the reason that it's a Nestorian

1139
01:37:23.840 --> 01:37:27.680
or proto and Hisstorian would be the
idea that Christ, as Augustine says,

1140
01:37:27.720 --> 01:37:35.119
is the predestined man. And so
you can't predicate to Christ's humanity a predestined

1141
01:37:35.239 --> 01:37:40.119
status as if he's not the second
person of the godhood, as a godhead,

1142
01:37:40.159 --> 01:37:43.640
as this subject. So it's a
Nestorian in that regard. And the

1143
01:37:43.720 --> 01:37:47.239
question then is well, what happens
on the cross? So in Augustinian theology

1144
01:37:47.279 --> 01:37:54.079
you lose the cosmic scope of Christ
being the assumer of universal human nature.

1145
01:37:54.680 --> 01:37:59.039
Augustine doesn't believe that there's any connection
directly between Christ's assumption of human nature and

1146
01:37:59.079 --> 01:38:01.880
the reprobate, So why are the
reprobate resurrected? And you see him in

1147
01:38:02.239 --> 01:38:04.840
later on in the City of God
he struggles with us, and the same

1148
01:38:04.880 --> 01:38:11.039
problem applies to the Calvinists, why
would the reprobate be resurrected so they don't

1149
01:38:11.039 --> 01:38:14.960
have a cosmic scope of Christ's redemption, and assuming of all human nature.

1150
01:38:15.319 --> 01:38:17.479
If you understand that Christ assumes universal
human nature and that's why all humans are

1151
01:38:17.520 --> 01:38:21.560
resurrected, this would cancel out limited
atonement. It would cancel out the notion

1152
01:38:21.680 --> 01:38:29.079
that Christ only dies for a predestined
elect So those are a myriad of issues

1153
01:38:29.119 --> 01:38:32.840
and problems there that would make Nestorianism
ultimately. Calvin is ultimately the stumber,

1154
01:38:33.039 --> 01:38:39.199
the key killer. The kill shot
is actually the idea that Christ is damned

1155
01:38:39.239 --> 01:38:43.359
on the cross to pay the penalty
for the rest of us, and that

1156
01:38:43.399 --> 01:38:46.840
would be a Nestorian if you believe
that Christ is a human person who is

1157
01:38:46.880 --> 01:38:51.600
the subject of the damn nation,
that would split the hyposthetic union. Or

1158
01:38:51.840 --> 01:38:57.319
you are Arian if you believe that
Jesus is a human person or a creature

1159
01:38:57.359 --> 01:38:59.800
that gets damned by God the Father, and then you split the trinity.

1160
01:39:00.039 --> 01:39:04.319
Either of those are devastating. Got
it? Thanks a lot man, Yeah,

1161
01:39:04.399 --> 01:39:08.439
good question, And for those who
want a fuller treatment of that,

1162
01:39:08.840 --> 01:39:14.640
I've done multiple live streams for multiple
hours dissecting Calvinism Just type in Jay Dire

1163
01:39:14.680 --> 01:39:17.960
Comic Calvinism. You'll get the talks
on David Patrick Harry's channel. You'll get

1164
01:39:17.960 --> 01:39:21.640
the talk the five six hours on
Sam Shummuon's channel. So we've covered the

1165
01:39:23.159 --> 01:39:27.800
specifics of Calvinism and Augustinianism. I've
got hours of talks on Augustin again,

1166
01:39:27.840 --> 01:39:42.640
it's all on my channel. Next
up is Big Brain Bear. You gotta

1167
01:39:42.680 --> 01:39:49.000
unmute, bro. I wanna unmute
my soul for you. I wanna unmute

1168
01:39:49.000 --> 01:39:55.239
your soul. Oh yeah, sing
a praise and worship style. I'm gonna

1169
01:39:55.239 --> 01:40:00.960
come out with a praising worship album. Next, go ahead, big Lee,

1170
01:40:01.560 --> 01:40:15.119
big lead chew. All right,
no sound. We'll move on leaks

1171
01:40:15.159 --> 01:40:18.000
and freaks. That's what I'm talking
about. Leaks and freaks up in here.

1172
01:40:23.520 --> 01:40:31.439
I want to I'm mute my soul
for you. Hm, you gotta

1173
01:40:31.479 --> 01:40:41.319
un mute leaks, Guys, I'm
mute yourself to day. I had a

1174
01:40:41.439 --> 01:40:45.840
question about conscience because growing up,
I grew up in a reform tradition and

1175
01:40:45.880 --> 01:40:49.199
you ain't got one. You ain't
got one. Can you hear me?

1176
01:40:49.880 --> 01:40:55.960
Hello, it's just a joke,
man, Go ahead, Oh my bad.

1177
01:40:56.159 --> 01:40:58.840
Yeah, I grew up in a
reform environment and the freedom of conscience

1178
01:40:58.880 --> 01:41:02.039
thing where you have to you fully
assent to it. Oh yeah, have

1179
01:41:02.079 --> 01:41:06.760
all logical connections speed in your Mind's
a big thing growing up. And I'm

1180
01:41:06.840 --> 01:41:14.439
kind of wondering now as I've grown
and I'm definitely veering towards orthodoxy if there

1181
01:41:14.479 --> 01:41:23.479
are certain elements that that you don't
you haven't made the logical connections yet in

1182
01:41:23.520 --> 01:41:27.439
your mind, and you don't fully
have that like gun agreement with it,

1183
01:41:27.800 --> 01:41:30.840
what is the freedom of conscience deal
with that? Because I know for telementist

1184
01:41:30.960 --> 01:41:33.800
is a big deal where it's like
you don't if you don't have that,

1185
01:41:33.920 --> 01:41:38.920
you can't you shouldn't be assented to
it. You know, well, I

1186
01:41:38.920 --> 01:41:44.880
would agree you shouldn't assent to orthodoxy
if your conscience is still not convinced.

1187
01:41:45.000 --> 01:41:48.880
So I don't have a problem admitting
that, Like I wouldn't want people to

1188
01:41:48.920 --> 01:41:53.279
I wouldn't want to like mind control
people into becoming Orthodox and then against their

1189
01:41:53.319 --> 01:41:55.399
will and then they wake up they're
like, oh, I don't believe this,

1190
01:41:56.039 --> 01:42:02.560
So so we could affirm freedom of
conscient and the notion of authority.

1191
01:42:02.640 --> 01:42:08.560
So I don't think those things are
like in contradiction, because I mean,

1192
01:42:08.600 --> 01:42:11.600
don't you if you just think about
the Bible itself, right, I mean,

1193
01:42:11.720 --> 01:42:15.119
you have the same issue with the
Bible. So if you're a Protestant,

1194
01:42:15.399 --> 01:42:20.920
you've got all kinds of different Protestant
interpretations. Should I believe this one

1195
01:42:20.960 --> 01:42:25.239
that my pastor has, Should I
believe the pastor down the road? Should

1196
01:42:25.319 --> 01:42:30.359
I believe the woman pastor down the
road that's going to marry? The method?

1197
01:42:30.600 --> 01:42:35.640
Method ministries bros. I mean,
what you know, you're not gonna

1198
01:42:36.039 --> 01:42:44.359
You're not in any different position than
anyone else by having to adjudicate between conflicting

1199
01:42:44.479 --> 01:42:51.239
positions, and that doesn't violate your
freedom of conscience. So I mean,

1200
01:42:51.239 --> 01:42:57.960
if I understand what you're asking,
you're asking like the Protestant doctrines of freedom

1201
01:42:57.960 --> 01:43:01.279
of worship and freedom of conscience typically
go to go together. I just don't.

1202
01:43:01.399 --> 01:43:04.159
I don't see how that's really Like, are you just saying that if

1203
01:43:04.199 --> 01:43:06.920
I'm not convinced of all the orthodox
positions of my conscience, should I not

1204
01:43:06.960 --> 01:43:10.279
convert? I would say no,
you shouldn't. You should be convinced.

1205
01:43:10.640 --> 01:43:14.159
You should take your time, Okay. So to clarify, like, if

1206
01:43:14.199 --> 01:43:19.760
we're talking about the the door mission
or some of the Marian stuff obviously and

1207
01:43:19.960 --> 01:43:26.159
very harsh. Yeah, or the
perpetual virginity of Mary. Let's use that

1208
01:43:26.199 --> 01:43:29.520
as an example. Okay, if
that's something that you're kind of like,

1209
01:43:29.600 --> 01:43:32.399
Okay, well I don't it's not
a big issue for me. I kind

1210
01:43:32.439 --> 01:43:36.399
of don't believe that she never had
sex with Joseph or something like that.

1211
01:43:36.680 --> 01:43:40.880
Or give me for saying something about
the Blossop mother like that. But you

1212
01:43:40.920 --> 01:43:43.880
know, that's that's what I'm getting
at. That's fine. I mean,

1213
01:43:43.880 --> 01:43:47.199
I remember going through the same stuff. You're not going through anything different or

1214
01:43:47.239 --> 01:43:51.439
new that everybody else hasn't gone through. We all have these issues that we

1215
01:43:51.520 --> 01:43:56.159
have to work through. I remember
when I was a Calvinist and I was

1216
01:43:56.199 --> 01:43:59.640
going into Rome in two thousand and
three, I had to work through marry

1217
01:43:59.640 --> 01:44:03.000
an issue. Use. So yeah, there's it's part of the process,

1218
01:44:03.079 --> 01:44:08.800
the journey whatever, and yeah,
you should take your time and and and

1219
01:44:08.840 --> 01:44:11.720
work it out. It's much better
to do that than to jump into something

1220
01:44:11.720 --> 01:44:15.920
because people that jump into it.
One of the patterns I've seen is that

1221
01:44:15.920 --> 01:44:20.680
they'll jump into it and then they're
not ready for the challenges from I don't

1222
01:44:20.680 --> 01:44:23.520
know, let's say, let's say
you jumped it. Not you, but

1223
01:44:23.600 --> 01:44:27.359
let's say theoretically, somebody jumps into
Orthodoxy after I don't know, watching some

1224
01:44:27.399 --> 01:44:30.560
YouTube videos and a few debates,
and they read a book, I'm ready

1225
01:44:30.560 --> 01:44:35.079
to be Orthodox, and then like
a year later they hear some scholastic presentation

1226
01:44:35.560 --> 01:44:41.159
from a Roman Catholic or a Uniate. So this is the most common thing,

1227
01:44:41.239 --> 01:44:43.840
is that. And this is not
common in the sense of a lot

1228
01:44:43.840 --> 01:44:46.720
of a lot of cases. But
there's a handful of people who leave Orthodoxy

1229
01:44:46.760 --> 01:44:50.319
for Uniitism every now and then,
right, And usually what happens is they

1230
01:44:50.439 --> 01:44:57.319
rushed into Orthodoxy and then they act
like nobody ever told me about the Uniate

1231
01:44:57.399 --> 01:45:00.439
positions that I was laed to,
that I've could be Roman Catholic and be

1232
01:45:00.560 --> 01:45:03.640
Orthodox at the same time, It's
like, no, you just didn't know.

1233
01:45:03.920 --> 01:45:08.119
Look, nobody was hiding this from
you. You just didn't take your

1234
01:45:08.119 --> 01:45:11.880
time to study these issues out.
That's not anybody's fault but your own.

1235
01:45:12.319 --> 01:45:15.159
And then, by the way,
those people sometimes end up then just quitting

1236
01:45:15.359 --> 01:45:20.960
wholesale because they didn't get grass greener
situations. They thought the grass would be

1237
01:45:21.000 --> 01:45:27.079
greener. Oh guess what I have
to basically become a lawyer for Pope Francis.

1238
01:45:27.119 --> 01:45:30.239
And that's not a lot of fun
and it's not very easy to do

1239
01:45:30.399 --> 01:45:33.520
because you go nuts. So now
you're drunk, because being a Roman Catholic

1240
01:45:33.640 --> 01:45:39.279
is a lot of crazy hard work
to make this insane system work for Pope

1241
01:45:39.279 --> 01:45:43.319
frank anyway, so yeah, take
your time work through the issues. There's

1242
01:45:43.319 --> 01:45:47.079
plenty of good works from orthodox writers
on Mary. If you want to talk

1243
01:45:47.119 --> 01:45:51.560
about the perpetual virginity, just go
read the classic essay from Saint Jerome on

1244
01:45:51.600 --> 01:45:56.359
the Perpetual Virginity of Mary. You
know, read Saint John Maximovis's book on

1245
01:45:56.520 --> 01:46:00.840
Mary. For those in the chat
about Calvinism, look right here, people

1246
01:46:00.880 --> 01:46:05.000
are asking about how you review.
Go did We've been talking about Calvinism for

1247
01:46:05.039 --> 01:46:11.000
like seven years going back to actually
I was making comedy videos making fun of

1248
01:46:11.039 --> 01:46:14.199
Calvinists fifteen years ago. That was
like my first YouTube video right here.

1249
01:46:14.279 --> 01:46:19.279
However, if you just go to
these two this right here on Sam Simoon's

1250
01:46:19.319 --> 01:46:25.399
channel, uh twenty thousand views almost
or you can watch this one over here,

1251
01:46:25.720 --> 01:46:28.560
or you can watch this one over
here. So there's all of these

1252
01:46:29.399 --> 01:46:33.760
podcasts ready made for you. Anyway, go ahead. Yeah, definitely.

1253
01:46:33.840 --> 01:46:38.520
That answered my question pretty much.
And I just wanted to say that these

1254
01:46:38.640 --> 01:46:43.680
unions do they usually after they convert
from Orthodoxy to Catholicism? Did they usually

1255
01:46:43.680 --> 01:46:46.920
fall to Islam shortly thereafter? One
of them did? I don't know about

1256
01:46:47.720 --> 01:46:51.960
more of them. I think that
there was like one unstable priest who did

1257
01:46:53.000 --> 01:46:56.560
that, like you went UNI eight
and then he went to Islam or something

1258
01:46:56.600 --> 01:47:00.880
crazy Constantinople. I don't know what
his name was. Is your joke the

1259
01:47:00.920 --> 01:47:10.279
city of Constantinople? Yeah, got
it? I mean, yeah, I

1260
01:47:10.319 --> 01:47:15.399
don't have a problem saying that.
Constantinople. Uh, you know it is

1261
01:47:15.439 --> 01:47:19.680
not doing well. So good one, super funny, Dan Griffin, what's

1262
01:47:19.720 --> 01:47:31.319
up, any sir? I was
looking for the Eastern recognition of the canon

1263
01:47:31.439 --> 01:47:35.720
in Truel. I think I'd heard
you mentioned that that is where that was

1264
01:47:35.760 --> 01:47:41.479
the council that was. It's because
it affirms the Trollo affirms the canons of

1265
01:47:41.520 --> 01:47:45.960
Carthage. Carthage is what list but
but but Carthage is a local you know,

1266
01:47:46.079 --> 01:47:50.840
a series of local synods. But
Trollo says, we affirmed the canons

1267
01:47:50.880 --> 01:47:55.119
of Carthage. Blah blah blah blah, blah at list of the years,

1268
01:47:55.479 --> 01:48:00.319
and one of those includes the Orthodox
canon, which is more or less basically

1269
01:48:00.399 --> 01:48:03.840
the same as the canon of Pope
Saint Damasis in the West that Augustine talks

1270
01:48:03.880 --> 01:48:08.640
about. So West and East had
basically even though in the West it was

1271
01:48:08.680 --> 01:48:12.359
earlier. It's like, you know, four hundreds when Damasis lists his letter

1272
01:48:12.359 --> 01:48:16.560
that Augustin talks about, and then
it's Carthage was around the same time Ate

1273
01:48:16.560 --> 01:48:21.279
three hundred, four hundreds that we're
talking about, and then Trollo for Orthodox

1274
01:48:21.520 --> 01:48:28.000
is pretty normative, right, but
Trollo gets reaffirmed for sure by the Seventh

1275
01:48:28.039 --> 01:48:32.239
Council as authoritative and acceptable to the
Orthodox. I don't know. Rome has

1276
01:48:32.239 --> 01:48:36.640
actually shifted its position on At one
time they used to accept the Seventh a

1277
01:48:36.680 --> 01:48:41.439
Commentical Council in total, and then
no, we don't. We don't accept

1278
01:48:41.439 --> 01:48:44.640
all those because oops, has you
know, married clergy and Trollo, So

1279
01:48:44.680 --> 01:48:48.199
we don't accept because the Seventh Council
accepts quinnissex Trolo. Okay, yes,

1280
01:48:48.319 --> 01:48:53.840
yeah, no, I knew that. So I guess is it true then

1281
01:48:53.960 --> 01:48:59.399
that the East they loosely accepted it
basically when the West sort of accepted it

1282
01:48:59.560 --> 01:49:01.359
they just did and kind of put
a scamp on it. Well, the

1283
01:49:01.399 --> 01:49:06.560
difference, you can tell. The
difference is that between the Latin mindset and

1284
01:49:06.640 --> 01:49:11.920
I'm not saying that this was the
Latin mindset in the days of Damasis,

1285
01:49:12.399 --> 01:49:14.960
So in the days of Pope Demasis. If you had the patriarch of the

1286
01:49:14.960 --> 01:49:17.279
West of Rome, right, and
he says, Okay, here's the canon

1287
01:49:17.279 --> 01:49:21.119
that we accept, that's going to
be the normative attitude for a lot of

1288
01:49:21.119 --> 01:49:25.800
the West, just because that's the
patriarch of Rome. That's the the you

1289
01:49:25.840 --> 01:49:28.640
know, the key patriarch of the
West. In the East, it's going

1290
01:49:28.720 --> 01:49:31.520
to be a little different because the
recognition is not going to be oh,

1291
01:49:31.600 --> 01:49:34.720
let's just what is constant and oples
say, it's going to be more so

1292
01:49:34.920 --> 01:49:41.319
like, well, what's the closest
thing to a canonical or synodyl list of

1293
01:49:41.359 --> 01:49:45.439
the canon. And that's why Trollo
says, well, okay, here's Carthage's

1294
01:49:45.479 --> 01:49:49.560
list. You know this looks pretty
solid. We'll go with this. Okay.

1295
01:49:50.960 --> 01:49:57.239
That pretty much answers my question.
Do you intend on trying to get

1296
01:49:57.279 --> 01:50:00.560
a debate with Gavin sometimes soon?
He did something recent with father Stephen de

1297
01:50:00.640 --> 01:50:03.560
Young that was kind of, you
know, good to watch, but it

1298
01:50:03.560 --> 01:50:06.319
would be good to see somebody really
just rough them up. You know.

1299
01:50:08.399 --> 01:50:11.840
I haven't thought about it. I
mean, I'm not totally opposed to it,

1300
01:50:11.880 --> 01:50:15.800
but I kind of feel like the
expectation is that there will be the

1301
01:50:15.880 --> 01:50:19.720
same old. Oh he's mean and
he's a controversial person and I'm too good

1302
01:50:19.800 --> 01:50:23.359
impious to talk to him. That's
my assumption as to what would happen.

1303
01:50:23.399 --> 01:50:31.399
Scott Grace, what's up, dude? You gotta I'm mute, bro.

1304
01:50:32.439 --> 01:50:39.359
Uh well, Onna, I mute
your heart? Hey, how's it going,

1305
01:50:39.439 --> 01:50:44.840
Jay? Yes, sir. So
I'm a Protestant, and I've been

1306
01:50:45.119 --> 01:50:51.399
kind of looking into unconditional election and
looking into what Augustin wrote about it and

1307
01:50:51.399 --> 01:50:56.239
what a Quinas and the Thomas wrote
about it, and I was curious.

1308
01:50:56.880 --> 01:51:00.880
I can't seem to find anything.
How exactly did Augustine and Aquinas, how

1309
01:51:00.920 --> 01:51:11.920
did they reconcile the view of unconditional
election but also universal atonement. Yeah,

1310
01:51:12.520 --> 01:51:19.039
the position is basically reconciled by saying
that the grace is not identical. So

1311
01:51:19.159 --> 01:51:28.239
basically, can you mute it's a
loud background? Yeah, So basically there

1312
01:51:28.319 --> 01:51:31.800
is a kind of grace that comes
to all via the atonement, I think

1313
01:51:31.840 --> 01:51:36.079
they would say. And so God
does in a sense love everyone and have

1314
01:51:36.119 --> 01:51:41.239
a desire for everyone, but that
doesn't mean that he gives everybody the same

1315
01:51:41.319 --> 01:51:45.119
portion of grace so that they then
come to faith and persevere. So remember

1316
01:51:45.119 --> 01:51:49.520
Augustine, for example, believes that
you know, there's there's baptismal regeneration.

1317
01:51:49.960 --> 01:51:54.520
So everybody in the church that makes
it to the font is regenerated and in

1318
01:51:54.640 --> 01:51:57.600
Christ, but they can also fall
away. And so if you read his

1319
01:51:57.640 --> 01:52:04.520
book on perseverance, Augustine explains that
not everybody's given this specific additional gift of

1320
01:52:04.680 --> 01:52:12.239
perseverance until the end. Only the
elect, the conditional, the unconditionally predestined

1321
01:52:12.239 --> 01:52:15.319
fixed number of the elect also get
the gift of perseverance. So that's what

1322
01:52:15.439 --> 01:52:20.399
he says. Aquinas pretty much agrees
with Augustine on these topics. It's in

1323
01:52:20.920 --> 01:52:25.880
Suma book one. It's around I
don't know questions eighteen to twenty three.

1324
01:52:25.920 --> 01:52:30.960
Somewhere in there is where he goes
through his doctrine predestination. He does affirm

1325
01:52:30.119 --> 01:52:36.760
efficacious grace or what Augustina talks about
operative grace, and so operative grace is

1326
01:52:36.760 --> 01:52:42.279
what you need at the beginning to
convert, and then cooperative grace is where

1327
01:52:42.279 --> 01:52:45.600
you synergize your will. The Orthodox
view doesn't make that distinction. We think

1328
01:52:45.600 --> 01:52:48.600
that all grace is cooperative. The
human energy and will is never lost.

1329
01:52:48.640 --> 01:52:53.960
You were always at some point synergizing
with divine grace. So those are some

1330
01:52:54.000 --> 01:52:56.880
points where we would differ. But
another problem, as we said a minute

1331
01:52:56.880 --> 01:53:00.039
ago with the other guy, is
that number one and the scope of Christ's

1332
01:53:00.039 --> 01:53:03.560
redemption is cosmic. And this is
why Augustin struggles with it because of his

1333
01:53:03.640 --> 01:53:08.920
predestination doctrine. Because he begins his
atereiology with a divine decree, he doesn't

1334
01:53:08.920 --> 01:53:12.960
have an explanation for in what sense
Christ is connected to all men. And

1335
01:53:13.000 --> 01:53:16.199
that's because later councils, particularly picking
up on the teaching of Saint Cyril of

1336
01:53:16.199 --> 01:53:20.319
Alexandria. If through the McGucken book, it's very clear Christ assumes universal human

1337
01:53:20.399 --> 01:53:25.239
nature. That's why all men are
resurrected. And this is precisely why at

1338
01:53:25.239 --> 01:53:28.600
the end of City of God,
Augustine struggles with why the reprobate would be

1339
01:53:28.640 --> 01:53:30.760
resurrected. The only way to be
resurrected is have a connection to Christ.

1340
01:53:31.159 --> 01:53:35.039
Why are the reprobate resurrected, they
have no connection to Christ. So this

1341
01:53:35.199 --> 01:53:43.000
is the problem with the materiological element
of Augustine's theology. But there's also christological

1342
01:53:43.039 --> 01:53:47.640
problems with Christ being a predestined man, which would compromise seemingly him being a

1343
01:53:47.640 --> 01:53:54.680
divine subject. There's also problems with
the grace taking over or over writing the

1344
01:53:54.760 --> 01:54:00.319
human will. That would be presumably
a Monothelite or Monointurgist move, which the

1345
01:54:00.399 --> 01:54:03.640
Church rejects at the Fifth and Six
councils, ultimately the Six because the whole

1346
01:54:03.680 --> 01:54:08.039
debate of the Six Council is whether
there's two wills and two energies in Christ,

1347
01:54:08.399 --> 01:54:12.199
because those are fundamental components of human
nature. So if he has our

1348
01:54:12.279 --> 01:54:15.560
nature, we have to have the
same faculties that he has. That means

1349
01:54:15.640 --> 01:54:18.319
we have to have human will and
human energy. That means that we can't

1350
01:54:18.359 --> 01:54:24.880
never we can never not have human
will and energy. But the Calvinist and

1351
01:54:25.039 --> 01:54:31.119
Augustinian positions are premised on the notion
that there's a natural tension between man's will

1352
01:54:31.159 --> 01:54:38.159
and God's will, and so that
tension has to infallibly, efficaciously, irresistibly

1353
01:54:38.239 --> 01:54:41.760
be overcome by the divine will.
And energy to be saved and we don't

1354
01:54:41.760 --> 01:54:47.239
believe that, right, which makes
definitely makes sense from that perspective because obviously

1355
01:54:47.239 --> 01:54:50.800
they believe in total depravity, so
like like you said, obviously there'd be

1356
01:54:50.920 --> 01:54:55.840
like that, yes, And their
soteriology has nothing to do with Christology.

1357
01:54:56.119 --> 01:55:00.439
They don't even care. They will
be a Nestorian or arian to maintain their

1358
01:55:00.479 --> 01:55:05.359
soteriology. So the whole thing is
wrong headed because it's the wrong starting point

1359
01:55:05.800 --> 01:55:10.800
order theology, order of theology.
Their order of theology begins with the divine

1360
01:55:10.800 --> 01:55:15.399
decree and arguability, divine simplicity,
and then everything else is teased out from

1361
01:55:15.399 --> 01:55:19.239
that, and then we'll do trinity
and incarnation down the road from that.

1362
01:55:19.239 --> 01:55:23.840
That's why it's all heterodox. That's
why they end up a historian. That's

1363
01:55:23.880 --> 01:55:29.359
why they end up being Aran because
who's punished on the cross. Is Jesus

1364
01:55:29.439 --> 01:55:32.199
a human person that's punished or is
he the second person of Godhead who then

1365
01:55:32.239 --> 01:55:41.399
becomes damned and split from the trinity? Right, Yeah, thank you so

1366
01:55:41.479 --> 01:55:45.079
much for answering that question. Really
good insight into that. And then one

1367
01:55:45.079 --> 01:55:48.800
more question, just kind of a
fun one. Who do you typically enjoy

1368
01:55:48.880 --> 01:55:55.479
having discussions with more Protestants or Catholics? Who do you enjoy who hooting the

1369
01:55:55.479 --> 01:56:00.520
blowfish? Who would you say you
enjoy having who? Who? Okay,

1370
01:56:00.520 --> 01:56:04.439
I think he said hoodie. I
went in the back, chicker. Hi

1371
01:56:06.000 --> 01:56:13.920
sat on the roof and just cried
and fell sorry for myself. It's Calviners

1372
01:56:14.000 --> 01:56:19.760
cry as the tears rolled down,
moppery dustined tears face. Anyway, what

1373
01:56:19.920 --> 01:56:25.439
was your question, arnswer God?
Who do you enjoy having conversations with more

1374
01:56:25.439 --> 01:56:36.119
about theology? Protestants or Catholics about
theology. It's a tie like neither one.

1375
01:56:36.199 --> 01:56:43.680
I don't know. It's an equally
bad scenari and I'm joking. I

1376
01:56:43.720 --> 01:56:47.399
mean, I really enjoy talking to
Tim because Tim knows more philosophy than I

1377
01:56:47.399 --> 01:56:50.800
do. So actually I learned stuff
from Tim, so I'm usually happy to

1378
01:56:50.840 --> 01:56:57.479
talk philosophy with Tim because he knows
Aristola very well. He knows metaphysics well.

1379
01:56:57.960 --> 01:57:01.479
I don't agree obviously with everything.
But but that's not really theology.

1380
01:57:01.640 --> 01:57:06.159
So I don't know. Man,
that's a that's a tie for evil,

1381
01:57:06.279 --> 01:57:11.000
tie for worse. I'm just joking, but thank you for that question.

1382
01:57:11.039 --> 01:57:14.279
There's Scott Grace. That's a good
that's a good Calvinist. Name a good

1383
01:57:14.319 --> 01:57:20.039
Protestant, Scott Grace, Alex the
Inquirer. Man, it's getting hot up

1384
01:57:20.039 --> 01:57:31.119
in here, fan got on mute. I'm wan on mute your soul.

1385
01:57:31.760 --> 01:57:35.880
Hey. So, first of all, your work is greatly appreciated in the

1386
01:57:35.920 --> 01:57:40.840
Czech Republic. Thanks for all you
do for the church. There was so

1387
01:57:41.720 --> 01:57:46.560
although when we went to so when
we went to see Sam Tripoli at this

1388
01:57:46.680 --> 01:57:50.880
late night comedy store set, there
was like, literally, I'm not joking,

1389
01:57:51.640 --> 01:57:57.159
the weirdest gathering of people at this
late night comedy venue the other night

1390
01:57:57.199 --> 01:58:00.920
in La right, So there's like
literally twenty Canadians are there for no nobody

1391
01:58:00.920 --> 01:58:05.119
could figure out why. Different groups
of Canadians suddenly at the comedy store.

1392
01:58:05.479 --> 01:58:11.880
And this one dude with his mom
from the Czech Republic, and Sam Tripley

1393
01:58:11.920 --> 01:58:14.680
was up there just blasting the Czech
Republic. I don't know. It was

1394
01:58:14.720 --> 01:58:16.159
great he was talking about. He's
like, do you guys still have that

1395
01:58:16.199 --> 01:58:19.600
game Kick the Box in your failed
Republic? Anyway? I'm sorry, go

1396
01:58:19.600 --> 01:58:25.680
ahead, yeah, no problem.
So the church is actually growing here due

1397
01:58:25.720 --> 01:58:29.319
to the young converts all things too. So thanks for that. I'm just

1398
01:58:29.359 --> 01:58:32.079
becoming a Catechumban. But I still
have this one question. So if you

1399
01:58:32.119 --> 01:58:38.960
do not have external criteria such as
the Scripture to assess the truth of the

1400
01:58:39.079 --> 01:58:42.720
claims of different churches, for example, the Oriental, the Eastern and the

1401
01:58:42.760 --> 01:58:46.720
Assyrian Church of the East. Now
all of these churches claim that they are

1402
01:58:46.800 --> 01:58:53.119
inspired by the Holy Spirit. But
now if you don't have that external criteria

1403
01:58:53.199 --> 01:58:57.319
such as the scripture, how can
you assess their different truth claims? Like

1404
01:58:57.600 --> 01:59:00.800
if they all just say already won
true church, why, well, because

1405
01:59:00.800 --> 01:59:05.520
we have the Holy Spirit, because
hold on solar So what we do have

1406
01:59:05.560 --> 01:59:10.199
that right? So in other words, it's not like we we can't or

1407
01:59:10.239 --> 01:59:14.439
wouldn't appeal to scriptures. We would, So I don't I don't follow that

1408
01:59:14.479 --> 01:59:18.960
logic there. Yeah, So I
just wanted to know. I'm kind of

1409
01:59:18.960 --> 01:59:20.800
slow. Let me let me put
it this way. Let me put it

1410
01:59:20.840 --> 01:59:26.239
this way. So if I'm debating
with a Rouman Catholic or a Protestant or

1411
01:59:26.239 --> 01:59:30.199
an Oriental, can I appeal to
scriptures? Absolutely? Yeah, So the

1412
01:59:30.239 --> 01:59:36.000
fact that the scriptures aren't the sole
final authority doesn't mean that they're not a

1413
01:59:36.000 --> 01:59:41.760
authority. Oh and and and do
I have any way of knowing that,

1414
01:59:42.600 --> 01:59:46.520
So my church does have the Holy
Spirit and the Oriental one does not have

1415
01:59:46.600 --> 01:59:49.840
the Holy Spirit? Is there any
way to determine that, like our traditions

1416
01:59:49.840 --> 01:59:55.479
are right and theirs are not.
Well, there's there's no there's not necessarily

1417
01:59:55.520 --> 01:59:59.960
going to be for any of these
debates like one easy, Like I mean,

1418
02:00:00.159 --> 02:00:02.319
this is the whole argument of the
papacy right, and actually the Protestants

1419
02:00:02.359 --> 02:00:08.239
as well, like they both try
to have these like silver bullets that make

1420
02:00:08.279 --> 02:00:10.039
it to worry. Oh, you
know what, you don't even have to

1421
02:00:10.079 --> 02:00:14.880
worry about anything because the silver bullet
is the pope, and the other position

1422
02:00:14.960 --> 02:00:15.720
of the Protestant is, oh,
you don't have to worry about any of

1423
02:00:15.800 --> 02:00:19.159
that who cares about all this theology
and philosophy and because you have the silver

1424
02:00:19.239 --> 02:00:25.159
bullet of the Bible. But neither
of those quote silver bullets actually do the

1425
02:00:25.199 --> 02:00:29.000
work. So again, if you
go back to the beginning of today's live

1426
02:00:29.000 --> 02:00:35.520
stream, you'll notice that I talked
about the difference between individual existential certitude and

1427
02:00:35.600 --> 02:00:41.920
the question of normative authority. So
those are two different things, and it's

1428
02:00:41.960 --> 02:00:46.600
related, but it deals with your
question in a way, because there's no

1429
02:00:46.600 --> 02:00:53.199
nobody has like an epistemically privileged position
by which you can just sort of bypass

1430
02:00:53.239 --> 02:00:58.159
all the difficulties. Romagantholicism often tries
to sell this. This is like their

1431
02:00:58.199 --> 02:01:00.560
car salesman pitch that you don't have
to worry about any of these things because

1432
02:01:00.560 --> 02:01:03.239
the Pope. See you see,
the Pope makes this so easy. Oh

1433
02:01:03.239 --> 02:01:08.279
but wait a minute, hasn't Francis
actually just changed the position on the death

1434
02:01:08.319 --> 02:01:13.960
penalty. Hasn't Francis just changed a
position on blessing of unions which the CDC

1435
02:01:14.159 --> 02:01:16.600
document previously said couldn't be done.
Well, of course he has, yes,

1436
02:01:16.920 --> 02:01:20.680
So actually it's not doing the work
that you were promised. It's like

1437
02:01:20.720 --> 02:01:24.680
a lemon. It's like a car
salesman sells you this car that looks shiny

1438
02:01:24.680 --> 02:01:27.880
on the outside and there's no engine
inside, and you're like, well,

1439
02:01:27.880 --> 02:01:30.279
wait a minute, where's the engine. Oh sorry, that's your problem.

1440
02:01:30.439 --> 02:01:32.720
You got to work that out now. By the way, enjoy your nice

1441
02:01:32.720 --> 02:01:40.560
shiny car. Right. So yeah, of course we can appeal to scripture

1442
02:01:41.000 --> 02:01:44.840
and tradition and all these things.
And if you're in a dispute with somebody

1443
02:01:44.880 --> 02:01:47.479
who shares a lot of your scripture
and tradition, then it's going to be

1444
02:01:47.479 --> 02:01:51.680
a little more difficult. But my
point is just simply that there's no easy

1445
02:01:51.880 --> 02:01:58.600
silver bullet that bypasses really difficult disputes, as for example, between say Orthodox

1446
02:01:58.640 --> 02:02:01.520
and Orientals, you do, you're
going to have to go into the writings

1447
02:02:01.560 --> 02:02:05.399
of Cyril and the council. What
other way is there? Right? Because

1448
02:02:05.439 --> 02:02:09.880
in other words, if we just
appeal to a council, okay, well,

1449
02:02:09.880 --> 02:02:12.119
how do I know that that's the
true council? Right? An Oriental

1450
02:02:12.119 --> 02:02:15.319
will say, oh, that's a
false council. So there's just simply is

1451
02:02:15.359 --> 02:02:18.520
no one silver bullet way. And
even if you're arguing a bunch of scripture

1452
02:02:18.560 --> 02:02:23.920
texts with an Oriental, I mean, that's what Cyril and Thestorius have,

1453
02:02:24.000 --> 02:02:28.159
these kind of scripture text arguments.
But I could point you to one great

1454
02:02:28.159 --> 02:02:32.680
book on this that's very accessible because
the fifth Actamenical Council was called to reconcile

1455
02:02:32.720 --> 02:02:36.399
with Orientals. And so if you
read the Kenneth Vesha book on the person

1456
02:02:36.439 --> 02:02:43.640
in Nature of Christ in Saint Justinian, that book is probably the best readable

1457
02:02:44.520 --> 02:02:51.479
fifty eighty pages, two hundred pages
addressing the specific dogmatic decision between Orthodox and

1458
02:02:51.520 --> 02:02:57.720
Orientals. At the fifth Actemenical Council. So the the easiest I could make

1459
02:02:57.800 --> 02:03:03.399
this debate is that book? Right, thanks a lot, So that answers

1460
02:03:03.439 --> 02:03:06.079
my question. I'll definitely read that, But I just wanted to ask you,

1461
02:03:06.119 --> 02:03:12.680
do believe that every heretic is sinning? Or do believe someone can just

1462
02:03:12.720 --> 02:03:16.319
be wrong? Honestly? Yeah?
This is typically the distinction between material and

1463
02:03:16.359 --> 02:03:21.680
formal heresy. So just being wrong
is not what makes a person a heretic,

1464
02:03:21.880 --> 02:03:27.640
because being wrong is we're all in
some degree wrong. A heretic is

1465
02:03:27.640 --> 02:03:32.079
somebody who's obstinate. So there's an
obstinacy of will and a perpetual sort of

1466
02:03:32.119 --> 02:03:36.399
pushing over time, and there's no
easy dep what's the timeframe? Is it

1467
02:03:36.439 --> 02:03:39.760
like one year of heresy? No, it's like I mean, is James

1468
02:03:39.760 --> 02:03:42.640
White a heretic? Absolutely? I
mean, this guy's been pushing you know,

1469
02:03:42.840 --> 02:03:48.159
gibberish nonsense for thirty years, so
so there's a Yeah, there's definitely

1470
02:03:48.159 --> 02:03:54.279
a difference between somebody who is just
simply ignorant, and again it's possible that

1471
02:03:54.279 --> 02:03:59.239
they're wilfully ignorant, so that could
make them more culpable. But I think

1472
02:03:59.279 --> 02:04:03.359
typically that's why we don't. We
don't use sometimes the church does. But

1473
02:04:03.479 --> 02:04:09.640
usually heresy is like mentioned in a
public sense for a group, right,

1474
02:04:09.760 --> 02:04:13.720
like Protestantism is a heresy. That
doesn't mean that like I'm gonna go to

1475
02:04:13.720 --> 02:04:15.520
every individual Protestant and say you're damn
your damn your damn your, damn you,

1476
02:04:15.600 --> 02:04:18.239
damn you damn Right. It doesn't
work like that, Right, So

1477
02:04:18.279 --> 02:04:24.000
we can leave the judgment up to
God and say that in a general sense,

1478
02:04:24.279 --> 02:04:28.800
the confession of faith that I don't
know the Lutheran Church has is heterodox,

1479
02:04:29.079 --> 02:04:31.439
and we condemn that as a heterodox
position, and that doesn't put me

1480
02:04:31.479 --> 02:04:36.319
in the position of judging every individual
in that in that group. Now does

1481
02:04:36.359 --> 02:04:40.079
that mean that everybody then therefore is
saved? No, I'm not saying that.

1482
02:04:40.279 --> 02:04:44.279
But God doesn't tell us who he
works in and who he works with

1483
02:04:44.359 --> 02:04:48.600
and in what ways he can join
people to the mystical body. So what

1484
02:04:48.640 --> 02:04:51.680
I do know is that no one
can be saved without being joined the mystical

1485
02:04:51.720 --> 02:04:56.560
body. And does God have means
by which he can do that for people?

1486
02:04:56.600 --> 02:04:59.279
Sure? Does he tell me all
those means? No? So what's

1487
02:04:59.319 --> 02:05:01.000
my job to around and judge and
trying to figure out who's damn who's not?

1488
02:05:01.039 --> 02:05:04.960
Absolutely not. It's ridiculous, right, So what's our duty then?

1489
02:05:05.239 --> 02:05:10.720
Just tell people to become wardogs.
That's it so simple. Yeah, things

1490
02:05:10.760 --> 02:05:13.359
that that actually helps me a lot, because I know a lot of young

1491
02:05:13.359 --> 02:05:15.880
guys that are trying to figure out
which church is to write one, and

1492
02:05:15.920 --> 02:05:19.399
they're just nervous as hell about being
condemned to hell every night. So yeah,

1493
02:05:19.439 --> 02:05:25.119
that helps. Yeah, I mean
I think that's kind of a I

1494
02:05:25.119 --> 02:05:29.760
don't think we're God's not damning everybody
because they don't have all their theological you

1495
02:05:29.800 --> 02:05:31.960
know, if you don't have the
right Amazon wish list of the theology books

1496
02:05:31.960 --> 02:05:34.640
to buy, and so you're danned. I mean, God knows our hearts.

1497
02:05:34.640 --> 02:05:36.800
God's a fair judge. He's a
lot better of a judge than any

1498
02:05:36.800 --> 02:05:42.680
of the idiots on the internet.
So yeah, so yeah, let's see.

1499
02:05:42.720 --> 02:05:55.399
Next up is Sapphire. What's up, Sapphire? You're ummuted to go

1500
02:05:55.399 --> 02:06:00.399
ahead? Got I'm mute? Hey, what's up? Yeah? Jay?

1501
02:06:00.399 --> 02:06:03.279
So I have a few questions.
This doesn't take too long, Okay,

1502
02:06:03.880 --> 02:06:08.720
right out the gate. I don't
know how to praise this, but would

1503
02:06:08.760 --> 02:06:13.920
you consider non orthodox people who are
of the Christian faith. Are they Christians

1504
02:06:13.920 --> 02:06:18.039
in your view, or like Catholics
for example. I don't really think that

1505
02:06:18.079 --> 02:06:23.920
it's that helpful to use this generic
terminology of Christian for everybody. But I

1506
02:06:23.960 --> 02:06:28.600
mean, since the world and they
call themselves Christian, I don't typically make

1507
02:06:28.640 --> 02:06:30.680
a big deal about it that okay, So they call themselves Christian, okay,

1508
02:06:30.720 --> 02:06:36.520
But ultimately, I mean Christianity is
synonymous with orthodoxy. I see.

1509
02:06:36.920 --> 02:06:42.720
So what in your view constitutes a
Christian like being triditarian or the divinity of

1510
02:06:42.760 --> 02:06:45.560
Christ, things like that. So
there is a yeah, I think you

1511
02:06:45.600 --> 02:06:50.079
could make an argument that in the
Canons of the First Seven Councils, you

1512
02:06:50.159 --> 02:06:56.880
could argue that people who affirm like
the Nicene Creed are in a loose sense

1513
02:06:57.000 --> 02:07:01.359
Christian. So there is a canonical
argument that I think Rocorps makes on this

1514
02:07:01.479 --> 02:07:08.279
on this topic. So, but
there's still Christian in profession. I guess

1515
02:07:08.279 --> 02:07:12.560
you could say, I see,
uh the second question, oh sorry,

1516
02:07:12.560 --> 02:07:17.239
are you still talking? Okay,
the second one just might be a goofy

1517
02:07:17.279 --> 02:07:23.680
one. But in your view,
who is worse Mormons or Muslims? I

1518
02:07:23.680 --> 02:07:29.439
think with all the kind of sectarian
heterodox cult groups, And I would say

1519
02:07:29.479 --> 02:07:33.840
that Mormonism and Islam are basically Christian
heresies of a sort. Uh, there's

1520
02:07:33.880 --> 02:07:38.279
not really a tier system there.
They're all kind of the same. So

1521
02:07:38.640 --> 02:07:43.319
it's those two, by the way, have really similar a lot of the

1522
02:07:43.359 --> 02:07:47.560
moves. Yeah. Yeah, well
so so in your view, like non

1523
02:07:47.920 --> 02:07:50.840
like other religions, you don't think
some are better or worse than others,

1524
02:07:50.920 --> 02:07:59.239
or are they all just like equally
bad in your view, I think any

1525
02:07:59.279 --> 02:08:05.760
anti trendy Tarrian anti christ position,
and I would class both of those as

1526
02:08:05.760 --> 02:08:09.279
anti Trinitarian and thus anti Christ are
all They're always basically going to have the

1527
02:08:09.279 --> 02:08:15.039
same manifestations, so they're not really
going to have like tears, you know

1528
02:08:15.079 --> 02:08:18.640
what I mean. Like, I
just think that's interesting. They're all going

1529
02:08:18.720 --> 02:08:24.520
to have the same I mean,
individuals in that religion might be better than

1530
02:08:24.560 --> 02:08:28.359
others, Like I might meet a
Mormon who's a better, more moral individual

1531
02:08:28.479 --> 02:08:33.880
than the Muslims down the road,
but I don't know that in the sects

1532
02:08:33.920 --> 02:08:37.520
as a whole. You could really
tease out like some kind of graded system

1533
02:08:37.760 --> 02:08:41.840
or something. I understand. So
you, I mean, it is kind

1534
02:08:41.840 --> 02:08:43.960
of a Reddit topic, but you
wouldn't be able to make like a tier

1535
02:08:45.000 --> 02:08:48.520
list of all the religions of the
world, like it would just be Orthodox

1536
02:08:48.640 --> 02:08:50.800
Christianity of s and then everything else
that I get. I mean, I

1537
02:08:52.199 --> 02:08:56.760
do think that there's two perspectives that
you could have that are that are complementary,

1538
02:08:56.760 --> 02:09:01.680
they're not contradictory. So from the
vantage point of like capital t ultimate

1539
02:09:01.720 --> 02:09:05.439
truth is how many religions are there? Are they on a scale? No,

1540
02:09:05.479 --> 02:09:09.399
there's only one true religion, one
true faith. But in terms of

1541
02:09:09.479 --> 02:09:13.039
like, can we have dialogue with
people who share a lot in common?

1542
02:09:13.119 --> 02:09:16.039
Sure? Right, so, and
both of those things can be true at

1543
02:09:16.079 --> 02:09:20.600
the same time because they're two different
vantage points. So if we're talking about

1544
02:09:20.439 --> 02:09:24.159
you know, do we do we
in Roman Catholics have things in common that

1545
02:09:24.199 --> 02:09:28.399
we could dialogue about. Absolutely?
Absolutely, we share at least we're supposed

1546
02:09:28.439 --> 02:09:33.399
to right the first say seventh well
six seven ecumenical councils, even though they

1547
02:09:33.399 --> 02:09:37.319
don't really follow the seventh, So
we could, we could, we could

1548
02:09:37.399 --> 02:09:43.520
form a basis to have conversation,
dialogue and a lot of agreement there as

1549
02:09:43.520 --> 02:09:48.560
opposed to say a Muslim. So
while both of those things can be true,

1550
02:09:48.199 --> 02:09:50.199
I'm not gonna then turn around and
say, oh, well, because

1551
02:09:50.239 --> 02:09:54.600
we have you know, sixty percent
in common with a Roman Catholic. The

1552
02:09:54.680 --> 02:10:01.319
Roman Catholic is sixty percent above the
Muslim. It works that way because because

1553
02:10:01.439 --> 02:10:11.399
ultimately one significant heresy places you outside
of the visible confines of the church.

1554
02:10:11.880 --> 02:10:15.479
Yeah, it's kind of like a
binary, like you're you're either in the

1555
02:10:15.560 --> 02:10:20.560
church or not. Right, But
it's also true that you can have discussion

1556
02:10:20.600 --> 02:10:26.000
and dialogue on commonalities. Those aren't
mutually exclusive positions. I understand, like,

1557
02:10:26.039 --> 02:10:30.920
for example, Tim Gordon and I
would have way more in common than

1558
02:10:30.960 --> 02:10:37.520
I would have in common with Daniel
Hikikachu or Jake. Yeah. I was

1559
02:10:37.720 --> 02:10:39.640
just about to ask about Jake.
This maybe off topic, but the end

1560
02:10:39.640 --> 02:10:46.199
of debate you mentioned that Islam is
polytheistic. Is I haven't read the kron

1561
02:10:46.279 --> 02:10:50.520
personally, so this is news to
me. I just oh, I was

1562
02:10:50.560 --> 02:10:56.600
probably talking about in the context of
Jake's slophism where Allah has a foot,

1563
02:10:56.720 --> 02:11:01.680
two right hands, a shin that
would be according to his own I mean,

1564
02:11:01.680 --> 02:11:05.680
according to Islamic shirk, right.
I mean he's gonna say it's not,

1565
02:11:05.880 --> 02:11:09.000
but like, yeah, well,
okay, how come you get to

1566
02:11:09.039 --> 02:11:13.399
have anthropomorphism that's real? Uh,
and it's not idolatry. But and if

1567
02:11:13.399 --> 02:11:18.479
you read Sunny texts like Sunny text
will critique them on that that very basis.

1568
02:11:18.560 --> 02:11:26.640
They will say that the Salafi are
all anthropomorphic idolators. Yeah. So

1569
02:11:26.720 --> 02:11:31.439
I was just making the point that
the soonies make against the Jake crowd.

1570
02:11:31.479 --> 02:11:35.520
Okay, thank you, Yeah,
I guess my last question. Have you

1571
02:11:35.560 --> 02:11:41.720
seen the delay rage quin with Andrew? Yes, yeah, yeah, it's

1572
02:11:41.760 --> 02:11:43.760
on I put I put it on
my Twitter. I got like two hundred

1573
02:11:43.760 --> 02:11:46.680
thousand views. So now what was
your reaction when you saw that? I

1574
02:11:46.680 --> 02:11:52.119
mean, I didn't. I didn't. I did. I honestly did not

1575
02:11:52.279 --> 02:11:56.279
think Matt would do that, Like
it seemed odd to me. I mean,

1576
02:11:56.279 --> 02:11:58.760
I haven't talked to Matt since our
twenty eighteen debates, so I have

1577
02:11:58.880 --> 02:12:05.039
no idea like what his mental process
is nowadays. But you know, at

1578
02:12:05.039 --> 02:12:09.000
the at the time of the debate
between me and Matt, he seemed like

1579
02:12:09.159 --> 02:12:16.159
this very kind of like wanted to
be cool, calculating, methodical, unemotional

1580
02:12:16.199 --> 02:12:20.680
type of atheist. And the atheist
that I saw in that discussion was like

1581
02:12:20.880 --> 02:12:24.359
just an emo like can't control his
you know, rage or whatever. So

1582
02:12:24.479 --> 02:12:28.720
it was odd, not what I
expect it. I think he's gone downhill

1583
02:12:28.760 --> 02:12:33.279
in the last six years. Probably
well. I think the atheism is like

1584
02:12:33.359 --> 02:12:35.760
mind rot So you're yeah, you're
gonna go on hell yeah, yeah,

1585
02:12:37.359 --> 02:12:39.920
yeah, great questions. Appreciate that. We got a couple of super chats

1586
02:12:39.960 --> 02:12:43.960
here. I'll let Father Deacon he
since he's on, if he wants to

1587
02:12:43.000 --> 02:12:46.720
make any comments. Father Dickon,
you've been here for a while. You've

1588
02:12:46.720 --> 02:12:50.039
heard a lot of questions, a
lot of comments. We've we've heard a

1589
02:12:50.039 --> 02:12:54.880
lot of bad argumentation from the Ruslan
video. I want you to comment if

1590
02:12:54.920 --> 02:12:58.640
you if you have any insights.
Jay Zuna since twenty five dollars and says,

1591
02:12:58.640 --> 02:13:03.399
can you talk about the Orthodox stance
on death penalty? You mentioned an

1592
02:13:03.479 --> 02:13:07.000
article that you wrote in the past. Yeah. My article is called the

1593
02:13:07.039 --> 02:13:09.479
Patriarchal Principle and the death Penalty.
I think something like that. I'll try

1594
02:13:09.520 --> 02:13:15.600
to find it here now. Unfortunately, the OCA, I think is anti

1595
02:13:15.640 --> 02:13:18.399
death penalty. They have some statement
on their OCA website that they don't approve

1596
02:13:18.399 --> 02:13:22.159
of the death penalty. I disagree
with that. I've always disagree with that.

1597
02:13:22.279 --> 02:13:28.199
I think some Antiochians disagree with the
death penalty. The ro Corps traditional

1598
02:13:28.239 --> 02:13:33.520
statement affirms the death penalty. So
even though that's not like the most important

1599
02:13:33.520 --> 02:13:37.039
thing to me, Like I'm just
I do think it's pretty obvious that the

1600
02:13:37.079 --> 02:13:41.960
New Testament teaches the death penalty.
The early Church Fathers pretty consistently, maybe

1601
02:13:43.000 --> 02:13:46.640
a couple outliers teach the death penalty. So I've always been a porter of

1602
02:13:46.680 --> 02:13:52.760
it. I don't really understand.
I mean, just all the passivist stuff

1603
02:13:52.840 --> 02:13:58.880
drives me nuts. So here's my
article on it, and I include,

1604
02:13:58.880 --> 02:14:05.800
by the way, several Church Fathers
statements on the death penalty, and I

1605
02:14:05.840 --> 02:14:11.479
think the ro Corps it's at mospad
dot are you the roal course statement on

1606
02:14:11.520 --> 02:14:13.119
it's good? Here it is past
fist tendency in the patriarchal death penalty.

1607
02:14:13.119 --> 02:14:16.840
Here is my article, and we'll
look at a couple quotes down at the

1608
02:14:16.880 --> 02:14:22.239
bottom. Here is that essay if
you want to go read that essay right

1609
02:14:22.239 --> 02:14:35.079
there, and we'll see, for
example, Athenasius in Letter forty eight notes

1610
02:14:35.159 --> 02:14:41.640
that God permitted the lawful use of
the sword when he stated in Genesis one

1611
02:14:41.199 --> 02:14:45.760
or excuse me, a lawful use
of sexuality. I think he's talking about

1612
02:14:45.760 --> 02:14:48.880
there. And then he says in
Hebrews thirteen marriage bread should be undefiled.

1613
02:14:48.159 --> 02:14:52.680
And then it says, for example, Athanasius is saying that in some cases,

1614
02:14:52.800 --> 02:14:58.279
one action in certain situations might be
vice. In other situations that might

1615
02:14:58.319 --> 02:15:01.640
be virtue. So another word,
sexuality marriage is good, but outside of

1616
02:15:01.640 --> 02:15:03.880
marriage, he's saying would be a
vice. And he says likewise, it

1617
02:15:03.920 --> 02:15:09.399
is not right to kill, Yet
in war it is lawful and praiseworthy to

1618
02:15:09.520 --> 02:15:13.119
destroy the enemy. Accordingly, not
only they who have distinguished themselves in the

1619
02:15:13.159 --> 02:15:16.960
field are worthy of great honors,
but monuments are actually put up to their

1620
02:15:16.000 --> 02:15:20.239
achievement. So the same action is
at one time, under one circumstance unlawful,

1621
02:15:20.479 --> 02:15:24.239
while under other circumstances it is lawful
and permissible. So their Afthenatius is

1622
02:15:24.279 --> 02:15:35.279
calling the people who have exemplified bravery
in warfare worthy of praise and great honors.

1623
02:15:35.560 --> 02:15:39.880
So that is not pacifism. Saint
Ambrose, in his letter seventeen writes

1624
02:15:39.920 --> 02:15:46.680
that the Christian emperors have the right
to exercise the sword. Similar exhortation in

1625
02:15:46.720 --> 02:15:50.479
his fortieth letter to Theodosius. And
I mean, this is all stuff that

1626
02:15:50.720 --> 02:15:54.960
I worked through and learned. I
didn't write this in twenty seventeen. This

1627
02:15:54.000 --> 02:15:58.319
is an article I wrote from I
think about two thousand and fourteen, maybe

1628
02:15:58.359 --> 02:16:05.239
earlier. And I wrote this because
so many people try to make a religion

1629
02:16:05.279 --> 02:16:13.520
this weird pacifist thing, and it's
a huge problem, and it's just it

1630
02:16:13.560 --> 02:16:16.399
blows my mind. I don't I
don't get it. And they when you

1631
02:16:16.439 --> 02:16:18.520
bring this up, they don't care. They don't care what the church fathers

1632
02:16:18.520 --> 02:16:22.840
said. All they all they care
about is oh, well, you know

1633
02:16:22.720 --> 02:16:26.279
there were there were some statements of
pacifism by this saint here or that saint

1634
02:16:26.319 --> 02:16:31.319
there. So what like, what
does what does one person talking about pacifism

1635
02:16:31.399 --> 02:16:33.959
have to do with whether that's universally
the case? Uh, go ahead,

1636
02:16:35.000 --> 02:16:41.120
father Dan, Well that's right.
It just it's uh Christian, this this

1637
02:16:41.200 --> 02:16:48.079
whole idea innovation that comes into the
church, because it's certainly this pastism was

1638
02:16:48.159 --> 02:16:52.399
not something received or practiced throughout the
church. And I don't know why we

1639
02:16:52.440 --> 02:16:58.760
can't get across to people that it
doesn't matter if you can cherry pick and

1640
02:16:58.799 --> 02:17:05.479
find quotes from different saints. That's
not how orthodoxy works. It's it's what's

1641
02:17:05.559 --> 02:17:15.040
received. So whatever particular heresy or
weird thing that you want to do you

1642
02:17:15.079 --> 02:17:18.959
have to look and say, is
it received? It received in practice in

1643
02:17:20.000 --> 02:17:24.799
the Church? Of course it never
is. And i'd also have too.

1644
02:17:24.840 --> 02:17:28.840
I think there's something very compassionate about
the death penalty in terms of Christianity,

1645
02:17:30.719 --> 02:17:37.440
that it gives one a chance for
repentance that they wouldn't have they were sentenced

1646
02:17:37.479 --> 02:17:41.360
to life or something like that.
There's also the statement in Hebrews eleven.

1647
02:17:41.639 --> 02:17:46.000
We are told in Hebrews eleven that
the in the Hall of Faith chapter the

1648
02:17:46.360 --> 02:17:52.719
faithful who went before us, some
of them were heroes because they fought entire

1649
02:17:52.920 --> 02:17:58.159
armies, They turned to flight,
entire armies. They were valiant in battle.

1650
02:17:58.239 --> 02:18:03.879
Hebrews eleven in verse thirty four.
Now, how is that the case?

1651
02:18:03.079 --> 02:18:07.319
How would Samson, Gideon, Barak, Jeffa, the judges, David

1652
02:18:07.559 --> 02:18:13.239
and all these people, how would
they be valiant heroes and models if suddenly

1653
02:18:13.280 --> 02:18:18.319
the New Testament in this marcianit way, we're supposed to be pacifist. This

1654
02:18:18.360 --> 02:18:24.360
is a Marcianite argument. Like literally, I'm saying Marcion literally made these kinds

1655
02:18:24.399 --> 02:18:31.399
of arguments that you hear people arguing
today and add to contra pacivism. Look

1656
02:18:31.440 --> 02:18:33.440
at the warrior saints I was gonna
say the warrior saints exactly. By the

1657
02:18:33.479 --> 02:18:39.079
way, I'm not talking about saints
that you were part of the military before

1658
02:18:39.159 --> 02:18:50.479
conversion, right, I'm thinking of
for example, Sat Alexander Nevsky, Stefan

1659
02:18:50.600 --> 02:19:01.559
ChIL Mare, the Saint Stephen the
Great, Saint Olga of Kiev. They

1660
02:19:01.600 --> 02:19:13.440
were actually they were made saints in
part because of their leadership in wels Uh.

1661
02:19:13.719 --> 02:19:20.440
Saint Stephen Stephan the Great for killing
Muslims. Yeah, I was gonna

1662
02:19:20.479 --> 02:19:24.760
say, there's songs that the Serbs
sing about their Serbian kings fighting the Muslims.

1663
02:19:24.840 --> 02:19:28.520
I mean, this is just ido
idiocy. Right to act like christian

1664
02:19:28.559 --> 02:19:33.120
I mean, and as part of
the NGO, like pacifist liberal feminist push

1665
02:19:33.520 --> 02:19:37.520
is to make Christianity. It is
totally pacifist thing. That's part of the

1666
02:19:37.559 --> 02:19:41.440
strategy of how to basically cuck the
West. Chalk to Sexy. Three dollars

1667
02:19:41.680 --> 02:19:46.360
will you report refute Voice of Reason
on a stream? I don't know who

1668
02:19:46.479 --> 02:19:52.159
voice of reason is. There's a
million atheists agnostic people, so but maybe

1669
02:19:52.239 --> 02:19:56.000
one day evon Estrada three dollars,
how do I call in? The Twitter

1670
02:19:56.040 --> 02:19:58.600
link is bugged? I don't know
what Twitter link bug means it's you go

1671
02:19:58.680 --> 02:20:03.040
to my Twitter. It's the space
is right there. So I don't know

1672
02:20:03.120 --> 02:20:07.159
what you mean bugged. How does
one get saved in your worldview? Well,

1673
02:20:07.360 --> 02:20:11.120
we don't have this idea that salvation
is like this Roman's road, you

1674
02:20:11.159 --> 02:20:15.399
know, combe, dono alta bill
aguelmo, I've got hat choose pizzla,

1675
02:20:15.479 --> 02:20:18.159
don hilp alto. If you're coma
givill halt to jo, I'll give you

1676
02:20:18.239 --> 02:20:22.719
a little cocola on hats pizza.
We don't have that. Okay, So

1677
02:20:22.760 --> 02:20:26.680
you got to be catechized. You
enter the church six months, three year,

1678
02:20:26.799 --> 02:20:31.879
two year process of catechisas depending upon
your situation. Uh, and then

1679
02:20:31.920 --> 02:20:35.159
you beat test. Then you have
to get your PhD. In the Cappadocians.

1680
02:20:35.319 --> 02:20:39.959
And as those guys said, you
read the Cappa Docans in the original

1681
02:20:41.040 --> 02:20:45.600
Latin, even though the Cappuditions were
Greek. But procrastinator two dollars, what's

1682
02:20:45.600 --> 02:20:50.559
your advice or thoughts on procrastination?
Well, number one, don't call yourself

1683
02:20:50.600 --> 02:20:54.639
procrastinator, because you're just reinforcinating,
reinforcing that in your head. But calling

1684
02:20:54.680 --> 02:21:01.040
yourself procrastinator. So if you want
to fight procrastination. Get chalk. Chalk

1685
02:21:01.120 --> 02:21:05.079
dot com will give you so much
energy you'll be so amped up, especially

1686

over to chalk dot com right now at

1687

1689
02:21:16.200 --> 02:21:22.280
But if you mix it with the
Patristic faith uh coffee. Ah, yes,

1694
02:21:37.719 --> 02:21:45.239
you to not procrastinate. So substances
such as chalk and coffee you can help

1695
02:21:45.280 --> 02:21:52.760
you to not procrastinate. Let's see
who's next, Dan moletor what's up Dan?

1696
02:21:54.799 --> 02:21:56.479
By the way, we're gonna have
to close it out pretty soon.

1697
02:21:56.520 --> 02:22:01.319
I have to go. I have
an interview with Deanna Lorraine tonight, so

1698
02:22:01.840 --> 02:22:09.879
this will probably be our last question
here tonight. Jay. So it's actually

1699
02:22:09.959 --> 02:22:16.879
just based off of what you just
talked about with Capital punishment or definitely can

1700
02:22:16.920 --> 02:22:20.159
you or father you can an and
ize speak to because I think when when

1701
02:22:20.200 --> 02:22:26.440
you say pacifism, like the Protestant
mindset will probably think of like the murtyrs

1702
02:22:26.600 --> 02:22:31.639
or turn the other cheeks, like
how how do you? Yeah, I

1703
02:22:31.639 --> 02:22:33.760
think that I think the answer,
yeah, this is a fair question.

1704
02:22:33.840 --> 02:22:41.120
And I think the answer to this
is that there's gonna be wisdom in determining

1705
02:22:41.239 --> 02:22:46.479
what the right action is in the
right situation. So there's not necessarily a

1706
02:22:46.559 --> 02:22:52.719
one size fits all solution to how
you, as a Christian would handle any

1707
02:22:52.959 --> 02:22:58.319
possible situation that comes along. So
let's say I'm a soldier and I'm called

1708
02:22:58.360 --> 02:23:03.159
into battle for let's say for the
Sego argument legitimate reasons. It would not

1709
02:23:03.239 --> 02:23:07.799
be legitimate in that case to say, oh, I'm suddenly a pacifist and

1710
02:23:07.840 --> 02:23:11.360
I'm not going to defend my homeland
because oh, I'm a pacifist. That

1711
02:23:11.399 --> 02:23:16.559
would be cowardice. So you would
not be exercising the virtue of bravery in

1712
02:23:16.920 --> 02:23:22.319
defying the providential situations scenario that comes
about for you where you should fight.

1713
02:23:22.959 --> 02:23:28.799
If I am I don't know,
a hermit out in the woods and a

1714
02:23:28.920 --> 02:23:31.200
battalion of soldiers. This has happened
many times in the history of the church.

1715
02:23:31.280 --> 02:23:37.120
Right comes out to my hermitage and
says, we're going to chop your

1716
02:23:37.399 --> 02:23:41.360
head off because you confess Christ.
To step outside here, it would not

1717
02:23:41.559 --> 02:23:45.559
it would be absurd to fight back
in that situation, right, So that

1718
02:23:45.600 --> 02:23:48.639
would be a call to martyrdom.
So, in other words, my take

1719
02:23:48.719 --> 02:23:52.319
on this is that I think in
various situations, depending upon our station and

1720
02:23:52.319 --> 02:23:58.120
our calling in life, will determine
what the right course of action is.

1721
02:23:58.159 --> 02:24:03.559
So, maybe you know, a
burglar breaks into my house at night and

1722
02:24:03.639 --> 02:24:07.200
he says, I'm going to take
your wife and your children and do what

1723
02:24:07.239 --> 02:24:11.079
I want with them. Okay,
that is not the time to say,

1724
02:24:11.079 --> 02:24:13.280
oh, I'm a silly man pacifist, do whatever you want. Now,

1725
02:24:13.319 --> 02:24:16.559
I have a duty to stand up
and protect my wife and my children,

1726
02:24:16.559 --> 02:24:22.000
and that would be soy pacifism.
To not step up, I would be

1727
02:24:22.000 --> 02:24:28.360
being a coward in that situation.
So the context will determine our actions that

1728
02:24:28.440 --> 02:24:31.760
are appropriate to what the situation is. Father Deacon A degree. Yeah,

1729
02:24:31.760 --> 02:24:35.959
I want to add too, that
we need to be careful of not kind

1730
02:24:37.000 --> 02:24:43.760
of falling into a continent deontological ethics. Rule worshiping. This is not how

1731
02:24:43.799 --> 02:24:48.040
we Orthodox do this. So when
we read commands like thou shall not lie

1732
02:24:48.600 --> 02:24:54.360
turn the other cheek, it's exactly
as Jay said that, Well, there's

1733
02:24:54.399 --> 02:25:00.399
going to be uh, that's not
a rule applied everywhere, at all times,

1734
02:25:00.440 --> 02:25:03.360
in all places, in all situations, in the same way. Otherwise

1735
02:25:03.440 --> 02:25:09.600
we're gonna be falling into kind of
a Kantian deontological ethics. And we certainly

1736
02:25:09.639 --> 02:25:15.959
aren't this Orthodox that And really what
you see is uh committing the fallacy of

1737
02:25:16.120 --> 02:25:20.440
accident. Accident. The fallacy of
accident is taking a rule and apply it

1738
02:25:20.520 --> 02:25:26.120
to cases it's not intended to apply
to. So you get a lot of

1739
02:25:26.120 --> 02:25:30.239
people, will you never ever ever
lie? Well, I found some of

1740
02:25:30.280 --> 02:25:35.399
the fathers say that in times it's
actually morally required for you to lie.

1741
02:25:35.200 --> 02:25:41.399
Let me give you another example.
You should always give property back to its

1742
02:25:41.520 --> 02:25:46.920
rightful owner. And uh, you
borrowed a hunting rifle from your neighbor.

1743
02:25:48.840 --> 02:25:52.200
And he's got he's broken up with
his wife, and he's been on a

1744
02:25:52.239 --> 02:25:56.479
meth for a week, and he's
he's uh, he says, I'm gonna

1745
02:25:56.680 --> 02:26:01.120
he's totally falling apart. I'm gonna
kill my wife, he says, and

1746
02:26:01.159 --> 02:26:07.959
I'm going to murder everybody in the
block. And then he asks you for

1747
02:26:07.719 --> 02:26:13.319
his rifle back. And what do
you do if you're a contient, Well,

1748
02:26:15.000 --> 02:26:20.120
the rule is you always give property
back to its rightful owner. You

1749
02:26:20.159 --> 02:26:24.639
see that that's committing the fallacy of
accidents. So this is an analogy for

1750
02:26:26.079 --> 02:26:31.159
turning the other cheek. Yes,
it's a general rule, and there's cases

1751
02:26:31.200 --> 02:26:33.159
that wouldn't apply to you. And
if you don't think so, you're committing

1752
02:26:33.200 --> 02:26:37.360
the fallacy the accident. That's what
I would add. Yeah, great point.

1753
02:26:37.479 --> 02:26:39.360
Thank you guys so much. I
am going to have to run.

1754
02:26:39.440 --> 02:26:43.600
I've got the interview tonight with Leanna
Lorraine. We're gonna be talking about i'm

1755
02:26:43.600 --> 02:26:48.719
sure British intelligence type stuff and what
happened to Kate Middleton. I have no

1756
02:26:48.799 --> 02:26:52.799
idea. Nobody really knows why she's
missing, so I don't know, but

1757
02:26:52.840 --> 02:26:56.040
we'll be speculating on what might be
going on, So look for that tonight.

1758
02:26:56.079 --> 02:26:58.719
I thank you guys so much.
