WEBVTT

1
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:18.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, what's up? We're live now. This is an

2
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:21.960
<v Speaker 1>odd time. I don't know. Maybe it's too early. People

3
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>don't have their debate testicles dropping yet too early in

4
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>the morning. They're too childlike they just came out of

5
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:33.679
<v Speaker 1>the womb at the dawn of the morning. I don't

6
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>know what that means, but welcome everybody. It's an open debate,

7
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:43.399
<v Speaker 1>and as you guys know, that means that nobody will

8
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:46.039
<v Speaker 1>ever ask questions on the topic or stick to the topic.

9
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:47.439
<v Speaker 2>They will talk about.

10
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:50.000
<v Speaker 1>The dumbest stuff you've ever heard of, and they will

11
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.039
<v Speaker 1>not know how to unmute themselves because that's always what happens.

12
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.359
<v Speaker 1>So there's no point in even talking about it. We

13
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 1>got one person already. The topics, as you guys can see,

14
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>are Catholics, Muslims, Protestant, Atheist, Arian, Hebrew Roots, Joe's Witnesses, Mormons,

15
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:11.319
<v Speaker 1>cult sex, black, Hebrew Israelites, whatever we can get our

16
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>hands on today. It's all on the table.

17
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:16.480
<v Speaker 3>I have.

18
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:22.439
<v Speaker 1>There's a black man, atheist, black science atheist man who's

19
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:28.439
<v Speaker 1>talking smack. Hopefully he'll come. Usually when I put sneak

20
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:32.159
<v Speaker 1>O and Tate in the title, it brings Muslims, but

21
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know what we're gonna get today.

22
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:40.159
<v Speaker 1>We've got row row dig.

23
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:57.760
<v Speaker 4>What's up, dude, gotta I'm mute, man, Come on, I'm mute.

24
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Roe dig Do you want to all? You have to

25
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:15.479
<v Speaker 1>unmute yourself? Okay, whatever, better than you. Here's the guy

26
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:17.919
<v Speaker 1>talking smack. Here we go. What's up? He's gonna set

27
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:18.319
<v Speaker 1>it straight?

28
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:24.360
<v Speaker 3>Man? You just you just predict that.

29
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what's up? What's up?

30
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:29.120
<v Speaker 3>Doll? You doing?

31
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:29.400
<v Speaker 5>Man?

32
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:31.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? What how's it going?

33
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:32.159
<v Speaker 2>God?

34
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna set as straight to disprove the existence of God?

35
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 3>Is that?

36
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:36.479
<v Speaker 2>What's up?

37
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:37.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

38
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:41.159
<v Speaker 6>I'm I'm I'm from the Church of Letter the Saints,

39
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:42.639
<v Speaker 6>So I'm a Mormon.

40
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Are you trolling? You're joking?

41
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:47.759
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm like, I'm dead ass, I'm like a Mormon.

42
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:50.599
<v Speaker 1>So like you sound like a black dude though they

43
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.120
<v Speaker 1>don't really like black dudes and Mormonism.

44
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but like you know, I just try to be different.

45
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:56.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm just trying to be Like.

46
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.439
<v Speaker 1>You're trolling. You said that, you said follow the you

47
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:02.159
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean? Uh huh, Yeah, you're troulling. You

48
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>said that you didn't believe in gods, and now you're

49
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:04.400
<v Speaker 1>a Mormon.

50
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:04.960
<v Speaker 2>You're joking.

51
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:11.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay, So how can you prove God's.

52
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:14.719
<v Speaker 1>Existence the transcendental argument?

53
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:17.759
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so can you elaborate on it?

54
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

55
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.159
<v Speaker 1>Without God's existence, it would be impossible to give a

56
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:27.360
<v Speaker 1>philosophical justification for one's worldview. That's how tag goes.

57
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:31.919
<v Speaker 3>Aren't worldview subjective?

58
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>No, I mean that would be a self defeating position

59
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>if you believe that worldviews were all subjective.

60
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.599
<v Speaker 3>So you don't think we would have different worlds.

61
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Having different worldview doesn't. That doesn't entail that they're all subjective.

62
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:48.879
<v Speaker 1>That's a non secutor.

63
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.639
<v Speaker 3>So do you think all world views are the same?

64
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>No, at route, everybody has a worldview, but not everybody

65
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>has the same worldview. But that doesn't mean that everybody's

66
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:02.439
<v Speaker 1>worldviews are the same.

67
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:08.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so they're not the same.

68
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Right, But that doesn't entail relativism. So you understand that

69
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>relativism will be a false conclusion from the fact that

70
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.319
<v Speaker 1>we have our own world views because there are things

71
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:25.160
<v Speaker 1>that we all share in common. Right, So, for example,

72
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>you've got to have you got to have some account

73
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:31.920
<v Speaker 1>of knowledge or ethics in your worldview. So the question is, well,

74
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.040
<v Speaker 1>who has a consistent, coherent account of knowledge and ethics.

75
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.879
<v Speaker 1>Let me give another example of why would be impossible

76
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:42.519
<v Speaker 1>to say that worldviews are all subjective. If worldviews were

77
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.800
<v Speaker 1>all subjective, you couldn't say all worldviews are subjective because

78
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.439
<v Speaker 1>that would be a non subjective truth claim. That would

79
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:54.040
<v Speaker 1>be an objective truth claim. Okay, so it would be

80
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:54.720
<v Speaker 1>self defeating.

81
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:56.720
<v Speaker 3>But how does that link to God?

82
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, because if we're going to I have to give

83
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 1>an account for our worldview, and that what I believe

84
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:08.480
<v Speaker 1>a worldview is is some basic commitments within the domains

85
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.879
<v Speaker 1>of epistemology, which is the doctrine of knowledge, ethics are

86
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>right and wrong, and metaphysics what exists and what doesn't.

87
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.040
<v Speaker 1>So those three things make up a worldview, and we

88
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.399
<v Speaker 1>either have an account for that worldview or we don't.

89
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 1>If God exists in the Christian worldview, then there's a

90
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:29.120
<v Speaker 1>reason and a basis for believing in the basic principles

91
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:32.519
<v Speaker 1>of epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics. If there's no God, there

92
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.680
<v Speaker 1>is no basis for having knowledge at all. You could

93
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>justify your knowledge claims.

94
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.000
<v Speaker 6>Okay, but well, I could go into all of that,

95
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:44.879
<v Speaker 6>But how do you link it to God? You could

96
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:48.319
<v Speaker 6>link it to anything. How do you specifically just link.

97
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:48.519
<v Speaker 3>It to God.

98
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:53.879
<v Speaker 1>Well, not anything can give a justification. So there's all

99
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:58.759
<v Speaker 1>kinds of things I could say therefore potato chips, right,

100
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>But potato chips doesn't provide any justification for the principles

101
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:08.920
<v Speaker 1>that I'm utilizing, like logic, like reasoning, like mathematical principles,

102
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.040
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. All those things that are necessary to have

103
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:15.199
<v Speaker 1>a coherent worldview. They're not justified by me just saying anything.

104
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.040
<v Speaker 1>There's some kind of being that gives an account for

105
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.519
<v Speaker 1>them and grounds them, and that's precisely what God does.

106
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:24.199
<v Speaker 1>God is the type of being who would ground and

107
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.000
<v Speaker 1>give an account for those types of things.

108
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:29.680
<v Speaker 6>But again, you're just assuming that there's a being that's

109
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:30.480
<v Speaker 6>accounting for that.

110
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not just assuming it. I'm making the argument. It's

111
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:35.800
<v Speaker 1>a transcendental argument, has an actual form to the argument.

112
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:37.680
<v Speaker 3>It's a circular argument, because how do.

113
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:38.759
<v Speaker 2>You prove that that's circular?

114
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:42.319
<v Speaker 1>The circular the argument is proven by the impossibility of

115
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.920
<v Speaker 1>the of the contrary. That's a reductio argument.

116
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.040
<v Speaker 6>No, it's not, because there could be other possibilities. You

117
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:51.600
<v Speaker 6>just don't know of any and you just assume it's God.

118
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:54.279
<v Speaker 6>There could be other possibilities could there.

119
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Be there can't be other possibilities because it's set up

120
00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>in a disjunct of it in an either or you.

121
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.000
<v Speaker 3>Said they can't or can't there.

122
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Cannot be because the argument that because because there's a

123
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:08.759
<v Speaker 1>limited number of options whereas to where you can go

124
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.680
<v Speaker 1>in terms of a worldview, for example, No, there's not that.

125
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.639
<v Speaker 3>So you wouldn't be able to tell me if.

126
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:19.560
<v Speaker 1>You It doesn't require omniscience to make that statement. I

127
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>can make that statement because there's a limited number of

128
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.240
<v Speaker 1>places that you can go to begin any worldview. Any

129
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:26.759
<v Speaker 1>there's not an infinite number of.

130
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:30.000
<v Speaker 6>Story There is not an infinite to what you could

131
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.480
<v Speaker 6>link it to. And that's what I'm I'm saying. There's

132
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.839
<v Speaker 6>not not a limit to where you could link it to.

133
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:36.839
<v Speaker 6>You could link it, but there is being a god.

134
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:39.600
<v Speaker 6>You could link it to being anything else, but.

135
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:43.399
<v Speaker 1>Then linked to anything else will not do the work

136
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.319
<v Speaker 1>of justification, because you need a certain type of being

137
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:48.839
<v Speaker 1>to ground the things that we're talking about.

138
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:51.959
<v Speaker 3>What's that justificating?

139
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:56.240
<v Speaker 1>What justification is a principle in epistemology. It's giving an

140
00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>account justified true belief for the knowledge you know.

141
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:04.560
<v Speaker 6>Nothing else could justify justify what you just said.

142
00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:07.079
<v Speaker 1>Because there's a limited number of starting points for any

143
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:10.279
<v Speaker 1>possible worldview. There's not an infinite number of worldviews in

144
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:11.480
<v Speaker 1>terms of starting points.

145
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:15.439
<v Speaker 3>What define worldview already did?

146
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:19.199
<v Speaker 1>It's the basic commitments to the principles that we have

147
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:21.959
<v Speaker 1>in terms of epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics.

148
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:22.720
<v Speaker 2>That's a worldview.

149
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:27.800
<v Speaker 1>So for example, let me let me give you an example.

150
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Let me give you an example. Let's say, let's take ethics.

151
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.759
<v Speaker 1>Since you mentioned that there's not an infinite number of

152
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:41.759
<v Speaker 1>possibilities between knowledge, for example, ethics either being objective or subjective. Right, Okay,

153
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:44.120
<v Speaker 1>so there's not an infinite that's in either or that's

154
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:47.000
<v Speaker 1>a disjunctive. So there's not an infinite number of possibilities

155
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:49.840
<v Speaker 1>in that question. So therefore, the way you answer that

156
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:54.080
<v Speaker 1>question will determine a large portion of your worldview after that.

157
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.919
<v Speaker 1>That's why I don't have to refute every single worldview.

158
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:02.840
<v Speaker 6>But you can justify your worldview by not defuting the

159
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:06.720
<v Speaker 6>other ones, because you're you're just assuming your.

160
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:10.080
<v Speaker 3>Worlds view is right without knowing all of the other

161
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:10.840
<v Speaker 3>world views.

162
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Again, I don't have to refute every single worldview because

163
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>there's a limited number of worldviews from the vantage point

164
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:18.000
<v Speaker 1>of starting points.

165
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:22.399
<v Speaker 3>So how do you know your worldview is correct.

166
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Because that's the only one that gives an account for

167
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.399
<v Speaker 1>the basic principles that are listed.

168
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.440
<v Speaker 3>Of pistemology, what else, metaphysics and ethics?

169
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Right, So you need all three of those things to

170
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:36.559
<v Speaker 1>have a worldview. They're all they all kind of go together.

171
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:43.279
<v Speaker 1>So if I can argue that, for example, that universal concepts,

172
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:47.000
<v Speaker 1>mathematical principles, et cetera, those things can't be reduced to matter,

173
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.600
<v Speaker 1>and if God exists, then it makes sense why there

174
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:53.120
<v Speaker 1>would be those things, why the would be immaterial things

175
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:58.639
<v Speaker 1>like laws or laws of logic, laws of nature, et cetera. So,

176
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.200
<v Speaker 1>in other words, it's two different peeding world views. And

177
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.919
<v Speaker 1>the worldview where God exists those things make sense. The

178
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:08.559
<v Speaker 1>worldview where God doesn't exist. Ultimately, knowledge doesn't even make sense.

179
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.679
<v Speaker 1>It's not coherent at all. There is no possibility of knowledge.

180
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:18.759
<v Speaker 6>There couldn't be any other possibilities where this could still be.

181
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:23.080
<v Speaker 1>I think, well, I mean, you're welcome to argue something

182
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:25.600
<v Speaker 1>to what's your position agnosticism? You're not a Mormon.

183
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:28.919
<v Speaker 2>I knew you were judged.

184
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.279
<v Speaker 3>No, But how do you prove that it's a personal being.

185
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:38.519
<v Speaker 1>Right. So, for example, this was the other question I

186
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:41.879
<v Speaker 1>was going to ask, if you were to talk about metaphysics, like,

187
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:44.759
<v Speaker 1>there's only a certain number of options that you could

188
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:49.960
<v Speaker 1>choose for say, the universe being intentional or non intentional,

189
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:55.200
<v Speaker 1>or to use the philosophy terms teleological or disteleological. If

190
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:58.960
<v Speaker 1>it's disteleological, then the universe has no purpose, it's purpose less.

191
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:03.000
<v Speaker 1>If God exists and God is personal, then the universe

192
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:06.679
<v Speaker 1>has purposiveness, It has an intentionality because the God who

193
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:10.000
<v Speaker 1>created it and is directing it to some end is personal.

194
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:13.639
<v Speaker 1>So that's another example of how if you choose a

195
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:19.200
<v Speaker 1>non personal absolute metaphysical principle or if you choose a

196
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:21.720
<v Speaker 1>personal one, that will have a huge impact on the

197
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:24.519
<v Speaker 1>kind of worldview that you have and whether knowledge is possible.

198
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:28.360
<v Speaker 6>So what you just said was there should be a purpose,

199
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.879
<v Speaker 6>otherwise it doesn't make sense.

200
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:36.799
<v Speaker 1>I would frame it this way. If there's no purpose

201
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:41.039
<v Speaker 1>in the purpose, right, So if God is not personal,

202
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:43.799
<v Speaker 1>then there's no intentionality and purpose in the universe. And

203
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.399
<v Speaker 1>if there's no intentionality purpose in the universe, then knowledge

204
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:47.159
<v Speaker 1>is not possible.

205
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.639
<v Speaker 3>Right. How is knowledge not possible if there's no.

206
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Purpose because everything would be a purpose less and so

207
00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:01.000
<v Speaker 1>what you think has meaning or has directed doesn't really

208
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:01.399
<v Speaker 1>have that.

209
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:03.000
<v Speaker 2>It's all just purely subjective.

210
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:07.480
<v Speaker 3>Well that that works fine with my worldview.

211
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:10.639
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well, if everything is subjective, then knowledge is not

212
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:13.879
<v Speaker 1>possible and you can't even say that all knowledge is subjective,

213
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:15.279
<v Speaker 1>as we talked about earlier.

214
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:21.360
<v Speaker 6>Well, we can look at subjective's truths in the community.

215
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:24.600
<v Speaker 6>We don't have to look at it as drastically as

216
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:26.559
<v Speaker 6>you're looking at it in the whole universe.

217
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.519
<v Speaker 1>Well, but again, it doesn't matter whether it's the universe

218
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:32.039
<v Speaker 1>or whether it's the community. Like, there's nothing that makes

219
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:34.879
<v Speaker 1>something true because the community says so or think so.

220
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:38.360
<v Speaker 1>That doesn't make things true. Can't the community be wrong

221
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:38.960
<v Speaker 1>about stuff?

222
00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:44.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I would because he see that truth is subjective.

223
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:48.000
<v Speaker 1>But no, but I'm arguing it's not subjective. It's impossible

224
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.120
<v Speaker 1>to actually believe the truth is subjective because do you

225
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:53.879
<v Speaker 1>understand that if you say truth is subjective, that proposition

226
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:55.519
<v Speaker 1>itself is self refuting.

227
00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:58.399
<v Speaker 3>No, it's not fine.

228
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.399
<v Speaker 1>It is because you're saying you're making a universal truth

229
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:04.320
<v Speaker 1>claim that all truth is subjective. You can't make a

230
00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:06.519
<v Speaker 1>universal claim if everything is subjective.

231
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.080
<v Speaker 6>But but you can't make But if I'm saying everything

232
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:14.600
<v Speaker 6>is subjective, it's still subjective.

233
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Every you're not justified in making the claim because you're

234
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:23.679
<v Speaker 1>limited as a finite being. That's a what in logic,

235
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:26.000
<v Speaker 1>it's called a universal quantifier when you say.

236
00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:30.879
<v Speaker 6>Everything, Well, we can make claims without.

237
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Well, you can make claims all day long, but they're

238
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.720
<v Speaker 1>not justified claims. They're contradictory claims just.

239
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:37.759
<v Speaker 6>Because we're not certain about something.

240
00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:40.720
<v Speaker 1>It has nothing to do with certain it's not about certitude.

241
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:43.840
<v Speaker 1>It's about a flat out contradiction. You can't say everything

242
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:48.080
<v Speaker 1>is subjective because everything is a universal quantifier about all

243
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.679
<v Speaker 1>states of affairs at all times. It's a universal claim,

244
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.039
<v Speaker 1>and that's not possible if everything is subjective.

245
00:13:54.679 --> 00:14:03.519
<v Speaker 3>Okay, well you're right, you're one.

246
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, Well see I'll see you at the

247
00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Mormon temple ceremony next week. Good job, dude, light World,

248
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:17.720
<v Speaker 1>what's up, man? We'll get married in space and have

249
00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:23.440
<v Speaker 1>some space babies. Light World, what's up? Gotta unmute dude?

250
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:26.840
<v Speaker 5>Hey Jay, how's it going. I'm in I'm in the

251
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:28.440
<v Speaker 5>car right now, So I apologize. If there's a little

252
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.039
<v Speaker 5>bit of background noise, but I wanted to hop up

253
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:33.559
<v Speaker 5>here and just comment on a few things I don't

254
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:35.600
<v Speaker 5>want you guys were talking about. I found it pretty interesting.

255
00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:40.120
<v Speaker 5>Little disclaimer. I'm a Roman Catholic, I'm cradle Catholic, was

256
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:43.039
<v Speaker 5>born and raised in the faith, and so I have

257
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:45.440
<v Speaker 5>my idea about God and what I believe. And there

258
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:48.879
<v Speaker 5>were a few things that you mentioned that I kind

259
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:51.000
<v Speaker 5>of want to want to just you know, I touch

260
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:52.879
<v Speaker 5>on a little bit extra right. So you mentioned that

261
00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:56.080
<v Speaker 5>if God has like a personal opinion as to whether

262
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:58.759
<v Speaker 5>or not the direction of which, you know, the way

263
00:14:58.799 --> 00:14:59.679
<v Speaker 5>the universe is going.

264
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:04.360
<v Speaker 1>I didn't say personal opinion, I said intentionality. Sure, God

265
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:06.120
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have a God doesn't have opinion.

266
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:10.440
<v Speaker 5>Sure, yeah, I agree exactly. So my point is is

267
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:13.840
<v Speaker 5>really where we seem to like anthromorphosized in God quite

268
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:16.559
<v Speaker 5>a bit by giving him human characteristics, saying that he

269
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:18.720
<v Speaker 5>needs this or he needs that in order for some

270
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:21.879
<v Speaker 5>there to be relevancy. My God, the Roman Catholic God,

271
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:23.879
<v Speaker 5>he deviates from all of that. He is not a thing.

272
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:27.360
<v Speaker 5>He's not part of this world at all. So to

273
00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:30.320
<v Speaker 5>try to comprehend him or wrap him around in a box, uh,

274
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:32.440
<v Speaker 5>with that reason is you know.

275
00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:34.039
<v Speaker 2>Just I mean, your your own worldview.

276
00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Your own worldview believes in anthropomorphic terminology.

277
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:40.759
<v Speaker 5>So what do you mean, what do you mean my

278
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:41.919
<v Speaker 5>own worldview believes.

279
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:46.519
<v Speaker 1>In Roman Catholicism teaches anthropomorphic terminology can be used for God.

280
00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:49.320
<v Speaker 5>Well, yeah, so we have the Son of God and

281
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:50.320
<v Speaker 5>we have different.

282
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.559
<v Speaker 1>Ways for us to understand that's not an anthropomorphic term.

283
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:56.399
<v Speaker 1>That's a person. The Son of God's not an anthropomorphic term.

284
00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:59.120
<v Speaker 5>I appreciate that. So let me let me, let me

285
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:00.919
<v Speaker 5>try to say this because I'm I'm really not trying to,

286
00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:02.840
<v Speaker 5>I guess, debate on as much things to just kind

287
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:04.840
<v Speaker 5>of share my ideas. You know, if you disagree with

288
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:06.360
<v Speaker 5>my ideas, that's fine. I'm not really here to debate,

289
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:06.759
<v Speaker 5>just kind of.

290
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:08.720
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, do you actually know the Roman Catholic

291
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.200
<v Speaker 1>position or you just stating what you think is the case?

292
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:13.519
<v Speaker 7>No, I do, I do, and so I.

293
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Don't think you do. I mean you think you do,

294
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:16.360
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think you do.

295
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:18.960
<v Speaker 5>Okay, well, I think I do, and you might think

296
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:19.879
<v Speaker 5>that I don't. That's fine.

297
00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:21.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean I can already tell you don't by the

298
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:25.799
<v Speaker 1>missu incorrect terminology you're using. So what's your what's your point.

299
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:26.759
<v Speaker 7>Go ahead, I'm gonna say.

300
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:28.919
<v Speaker 5>You just speak very eloquently, you know, and and and

301
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:31.480
<v Speaker 5>you know you use a vocabulary very very well. So

302
00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:33.159
<v Speaker 5>I'll give you that much. But I don't know if

303
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:34.919
<v Speaker 5>that means I know anything less about the Catholic Church.

304
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.559
<v Speaker 5>So God is not of this world, like I was saying,

305
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:46.240
<v Speaker 5>and Jesus Christ, you know we we we as the

306
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:47.679
<v Speaker 5>son of God. He came down to earth, you know,

307
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:51.360
<v Speaker 5>his representation, his physical body. Nonetheless, he was still God.

308
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:56.000
<v Speaker 5>That's the only physical manifestation we've ever had of God

309
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:57.600
<v Speaker 5>here on earth. You're in any way, shape or form.

310
00:16:57.720 --> 00:16:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's not even truer, that's not right.

311
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:02.399
<v Speaker 5>Well, and I believe that to be true.

312
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:04.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, have you read the Old Testament?

313
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:05.559
<v Speaker 5>Sure?

314
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

315
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Did God ever appear in the Old test Did God

316
00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:12.240
<v Speaker 1>ever appear in the Old Testament prior to Christ becoming incarnate?

317
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:15.519
<v Speaker 5>Fair enough? Okay, fair enough. I give you that he

318
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.440
<v Speaker 5>walked with he spoke to Moses, Noah, multiple people.

319
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:21.559
<v Speaker 2>I'll give you that, okay.

320
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:24.119
<v Speaker 1>So it's not true that He only appeared in the

321
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:26.720
<v Speaker 1>person of Christ at the incarnation.

322
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:31.279
<v Speaker 5>Right, none in these physical forms as a burning bush,

323
00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:35.079
<v Speaker 5>maybe anything you know, camp morphosized in in which way

324
00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:37.039
<v Speaker 5>that he communicated with Noah.

325
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:39.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that did he wrestle with did he

326
00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:40.279
<v Speaker 1>wrestle with Jacob?

327
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:45.400
<v Speaker 5>So a lot of these questions, So.

328
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:48.799
<v Speaker 1>I mean, did he wrestle with Genesis thirty?

329
00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:50.039
<v Speaker 2>Have you read this?

330
00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:53.559
<v Speaker 5>I can't literally, I can't tell you yes or no. Historically,

331
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:54.519
<v Speaker 5>I can't tell you yes or no.

332
00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:56.720
<v Speaker 2>I have I have my I mean, what does Jenesis say?

333
00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:57.920
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean?

334
00:17:58.880 --> 00:17:59.079
<v Speaker 8>I want?

335
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:00.480
<v Speaker 5>I want to give you I want you can I

336
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:02.160
<v Speaker 5>want to answer something. I want to answer something if

337
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:04.119
<v Speaker 5>I can, because you're you're You're asking me a lot

338
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:05.480
<v Speaker 5>of questions and I don't feel like I've been able

339
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:07.640
<v Speaker 5>to answer or finish any thoughts yet, and it's really

340
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:09.519
<v Speaker 5>making it hard for me to gather my thoughts.

341
00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Uh huh, Yeah, it's my fault. I'm sure.

342
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:12.759
<v Speaker 5>No, it's not your fault at all.

343
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:12.920
<v Speaker 3>Man.

344
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:14.920
<v Speaker 5>Like I said, I've already given you, you know, credit

345
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:16.559
<v Speaker 5>for being a very good speaker and all those things.

346
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:20.359
<v Speaker 5>So I'm trying to keep up with you. So in

347
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:22.880
<v Speaker 5>the Bible, Jesus see, I I'm getting sidetracked. I apologize,

348
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:25.519
<v Speaker 5>But in the Bible, uh, you know it says how

349
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:29.160
<v Speaker 5>Jesus spoke, and he he preached, and then he brought

350
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:31.920
<v Speaker 5>the disciples back, and then he explained differently to the disciples.

351
00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:34.039
<v Speaker 5>So a lot of the Bible is written in allegory.

352
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:38.279
<v Speaker 5>It's written, there's a lot of historical accuracies, there's lots

353
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:39.240
<v Speaker 5>of literal accuracies.

354
00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:42.359
<v Speaker 1>Those thoughts of Okay, does Jesus take the wrestling with

355
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:45.119
<v Speaker 1>Jacob to be an allegory or does he identify himself

356
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:46.480
<v Speaker 1>as the one that was wrestling?

357
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:50.799
<v Speaker 5>So all of it's through God. All power is through God.

358
00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:54.000
<v Speaker 5>Anything that's done is through God. All of it that's

359
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:54.480
<v Speaker 5>all through God.

360
00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:55.119
<v Speaker 3>There is no man.

361
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:56.559
<v Speaker 1>Do you hear anything that I said?

362
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:01.119
<v Speaker 5>You asked me, who's through Jesus? I said, yes, through God? Correct?

363
00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Can you not even hear the questions?

364
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:05.119
<v Speaker 1>Or like, does it not registering in your head what

365
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:10.400
<v Speaker 1>I said? Does Jesus identify himself as the one wrestling

366
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:12.200
<v Speaker 1>with Jacob in Genesis thirty two?

367
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:15.359
<v Speaker 5>I don't overbaate him with it, but I can tell you.

368
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.400
<v Speaker 1>That, okay, But you don't know what You wanted to

369
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:20.240
<v Speaker 1>get on and dispout a bunch of stuff. But I'm

370
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:21.960
<v Speaker 1>not trying to me. I'm not trying to mean to you,

371
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:25.920
<v Speaker 1>but you don't have any idea what you're talking about. Okay,

372
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:30.599
<v Speaker 1>So in John two, Jesus identifies himself as the one

373
00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:33.839
<v Speaker 1>who was wrestling with Jacob in genals.

374
00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:36.039
<v Speaker 2>So you're just gonna talk over me.

375
00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:38.839
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, this is the problem with Roman Catholics is

376
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:41.599
<v Speaker 1>that you guys don't have any clue what you're talking about,

377
00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:43.480
<v Speaker 1>and you think you know what you're talking about.

378
00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:45.799
<v Speaker 5>Power comes from God. I don't need to know.

379
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:47.720
<v Speaker 1>That has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.

380
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:49.440
<v Speaker 2>What does that have to do with what I'm talking about?

381
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:52.880
<v Speaker 5>All power comes from God. You cannot wrestle any adversary

382
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:54.480
<v Speaker 5>without God. Period.

383
00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:59.640
<v Speaker 1>You don't even understand it's Jacob isn't an adversary when

384
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:00.880
<v Speaker 1>he with Jesus.

385
00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what are you talking about?

386
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:05.000
<v Speaker 7>So what is symbol?

387
00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:08.839
<v Speaker 1>Because I this is idiotic, man. I'm sorry, you have

388
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:11.000
<v Speaker 1>no idea what you're talking about. I don't understand why

389
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:13.599
<v Speaker 1>you guys love to get on as if you are

390
00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:16.119
<v Speaker 1>these super intelligent, know it all people and you have

391
00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:28.519
<v Speaker 1>no clue what you're talking about. Ads exactly. Roman Catholics

392
00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:30.519
<v Speaker 1>are insane, That's what I mean. It's like the only

393
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:33.039
<v Speaker 1>people left in Romanism are people that are literally just

394
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:36.480
<v Speaker 1>nuts except for except for tim what's up?

395
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:41.440
<v Speaker 9>I have a question what arguments that can use against

396
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:44.960
<v Speaker 9>the being modern day profets, because I remember those. What

397
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:48.440
<v Speaker 9>arguments can I like I can bring forth for the

398
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:50.440
<v Speaker 9>moderns being a falsed thing.

399
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:58.359
<v Speaker 1>Well, Zachariah prophesies. I think it's Zakaria thirteen or fourteen

400
00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:02.599
<v Speaker 1>that in the last which means the time of the

401
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:07.559
<v Speaker 1>coming of the Messiah, there won't be prophets anymore. If

402
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:12.279
<v Speaker 1>you claim that you're a prophet, you will be stoned

403
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:18.119
<v Speaker 1>because there's no such thing as people continue to prophesy

404
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:21.279
<v Speaker 1>after the last prophet. So Jesus says, for example, that

405
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:24.720
<v Speaker 1>John was the last of the prophets. So this idea

406
00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:28.599
<v Speaker 1>of Old Testament prophets is no longer necessary, because, as

407
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:31.559
<v Speaker 1>Hebrew says in Hebrews One, we have the fullness of

408
00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:34.440
<v Speaker 1>revelation in the person of the Messiah, so there's no

409
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:40.559
<v Speaker 1>need for continuing revelation. Secondly, the Canada Scripture itself is closed,

410
00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:44.119
<v Speaker 1>so there's no need to have ongoing revelations. When, as

411
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Jude says, the deposit of the faith was once for

412
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:50.680
<v Speaker 1>all delivered to the saints and Jude three. So if

413
00:21:50.720 --> 00:21:54.160
<v Speaker 1>that's the case, then there's no need to have these things,

414
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:58.519
<v Speaker 1>and that immediately cuts off anything like Mormonism, Islam. They're

415
00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:02.359
<v Speaker 1>automatically cut off by the fact that the revelation has

416
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:04.359
<v Speaker 1>a finality to it, public revelation.

417
00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:07.319
<v Speaker 3>Okay, thank you. I also have a question.

418
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:12.720
<v Speaker 9>I've like, I've read on some saints, but and like,

419
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:16.920
<v Speaker 9>what's with the saints being given like information like or

420
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:18.319
<v Speaker 9>revelation by good.

421
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's that's true.

422
00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:23.759
<v Speaker 1>There's clairvoyance, but that's not public divine revelation. That's part

423
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:27.720
<v Speaker 1>of the apostolic deposit right. That's why Jude says that

424
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:30.039
<v Speaker 1>the faith was once we're all delivered to the saints.

425
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.319
<v Speaker 1>That's the dog the dogmas and the fullness of the

426
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:34.160
<v Speaker 1>of the faith.

427
00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:34.559
<v Speaker 3>Right.

428
00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:38.119
<v Speaker 1>But that that doesn't mean that you can't go see

429
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:41.759
<v Speaker 1>an elder and he, you know, has a clairvoyance about

430
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:44.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, what your issues are, what your problems are,

431
00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:46.400
<v Speaker 1>He knows something about about you. But we don't take

432
00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:49.200
<v Speaker 1>those things and say, oh, that's part of the you know,

433
00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:50.920
<v Speaker 1>the dogmas of divine revelation.

434
00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:52.160
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

435
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:55.200
<v Speaker 9>So essentially what you're saying is the like the way

436
00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:58.160
<v Speaker 9>that we distinguished this is because we've already been given

437
00:22:58.200 --> 00:23:01.640
<v Speaker 9>the fullness of like information. However, a clayfuloice is different

438
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:06.519
<v Speaker 9>because it's information that we've has already been revealed to us.

439
00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:08.319
<v Speaker 1>Right, It's not part of the deposit of the faith.

440
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it could be a miraculous thing, like an

441
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:13.880
<v Speaker 1>elder knows miraculously that you know something about you or

442
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:16.640
<v Speaker 1>something like that, or he knows the future about what's

443
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:18.400
<v Speaker 1>going to happen to you, or something like that, but

444
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:24.279
<v Speaker 1>that's not part of the dogmas and the apostolic deposit

445
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the full Like Jude says, the faith, as in the

446
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:33.759
<v Speaker 1>doctrines and the teachings, were once for all delivered. So

447
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:35.599
<v Speaker 1>how could it be once for all delivered if it's

448
00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:37.000
<v Speaker 1>an ongoing, endless thing.

449
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:41.400
<v Speaker 9>Okay, yeah, I do, thank you, thank you, thank you.

450
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:45.480
<v Speaker 1>So it's if you look at zachari At thirteen when

451
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:48.759
<v Speaker 1>it describes the Messianic era, it describes it as one

452
00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:52.680
<v Speaker 1>where there's not really a need for the office of

453
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:57.839
<v Speaker 1>an Old Testament prophet. In that day, every prophet will

454
00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:00.599
<v Speaker 1>be ashamed of his vision. If he prophesies, they will

455
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:04.480
<v Speaker 1>not wear a robe of coarse hair to deceive. He

456
00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:06.519
<v Speaker 1>will say, I'm not a prophet. I am a farmer,

457
00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:13.200
<v Speaker 1>and it's talking about specifically I'm a Messianic prophecy because

458
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:15.640
<v Speaker 1>it talks about I was wounded in the House of

459
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:18.440
<v Speaker 1>my friends, which is a reference to Christ being pierced

460
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:23.359
<v Speaker 1>and crucified. So in the Messianic era, there's not a

461
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:26.440
<v Speaker 1>need for that that office of Old Testament prophet. That's

462
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:29.519
<v Speaker 1>why Jesus says John was the last of the prophets.

463
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:34.240
<v Speaker 1>That doesn't mean there can't be like you know, Clava

464
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Wayans or something like that. Thank you guys for the

465
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:39.359
<v Speaker 1>couple super chestess. I want to support the stream.

469
00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Orthodox Mario, Do Do Do do?

470
00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:57.599
<v Speaker 2>Dude?

471
00:24:58.319 --> 00:25:02.880
<v Speaker 3>Hello, what's up? Oh right, sorry, I didn't know my life.

472
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:07.160
<v Speaker 3>I have a question. I'm a Greek Orthodox. I got

473
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:14.559
<v Speaker 3>by the Greek Orthodox Church and I yeah, I saw

474
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:15.319
<v Speaker 3>one of your videos.

475
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:17.200
<v Speaker 10>I think you posted it a few years ago and

476
00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:20.960
<v Speaker 10>you were talking about how the Greek Orthodox has something.

477
00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:23.200
<v Speaker 5>To do with I forgot what it's called.

478
00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:26.359
<v Speaker 10>You basically were telling people to attend to the Russian

479
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:29.119
<v Speaker 10>Orthodox because of what's happening in the Greek a sort

480
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:29.559
<v Speaker 10>of church.

481
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, go arc.

482
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:34.119
<v Speaker 1>So not every Greek church, not churches in Greece, but

483
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:37.039
<v Speaker 1>the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America is what I meant.

484
00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:40.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh you're talking about American.

485
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm not in Greece, dude.

486
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:46.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, you was talking what was it called?

487
00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:46.799
<v Speaker 2>It was?

488
00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:50.279
<v Speaker 5>Sorry I forgot man talk about?

489
00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:52.359
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what I was talking about?

490
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:55.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean you're maybe talking about the ecumenical patriarchy and

491
00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:57.799
<v Speaker 1>the CIA and all that. That's like a six year

492
00:25:57.799 --> 00:25:58.480
<v Speaker 1>old podcast.

493
00:25:59.599 --> 00:25:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

494
00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:04.759
<v Speaker 10>Also that's nothing to do with the the because I.

495
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:07.440
<v Speaker 3>Mean England in England and the Greek Orthodose Church in England.

496
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:09.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who.

497
00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean. I imagine you're under your own bishop in England,

498
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:14.039
<v Speaker 1>so I don't know who the Greeks in England are under.

499
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:17.759
<v Speaker 7>Oh you were just talking about the ones in America.

500
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Is an American American jurisdiction, correct.

501
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:25.039
<v Speaker 3>Because I think we're all under bottle and you want me.

502
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Maybe, I don't. I don't know how that all works.

503
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:34.200
<v Speaker 1>And alongst the Greek because I've never been amongst Greek Orthodox.

504
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I've always been either Antiochian or ro Corps.

505
00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:43.119
<v Speaker 10>So would you would you say that whole CIA thing

506
00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:46.960
<v Speaker 10>would be in the Greek Orthodox, where I am as well?

507
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Is it just in the American Well, I mean the

508
00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:53.880
<v Speaker 1>intelligence services have an interest in infiltrating and spying on

509
00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:58.440
<v Speaker 1>and influencing every church everywhere, So I'm sure that that

510
00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:01.880
<v Speaker 1>goes on in the UK. I mean it's probably British

511
00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:05.039
<v Speaker 1>intelligence is probably not the CIA. But I don't know

512
00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:07.599
<v Speaker 1>anything about Greeks in the UK honestly.

513
00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:12.240
<v Speaker 10>Okay, yeah, because I've been watching you for a few

514
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:12.799
<v Speaker 10>months now.

515
00:27:13.400 --> 00:27:16.559
<v Speaker 3>You actually I'm Greek myself, and.

516
00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:19.359
<v Speaker 5>I ended up going to a Baptist church and then.

517
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:21.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, how did I help you if you went to

518
00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:22.519
<v Speaker 2>a Baudi church?

519
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:27.880
<v Speaker 10>No, no, no, no, I was attended about Yeah.

520
00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:29.240
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know about Christianity.

521
00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:32.559
<v Speaker 1>And then I started I got you. Well, I think

522
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:35.680
<v Speaker 1>I think I think Bartholomew is very sus and I

523
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:38.640
<v Speaker 1>would avoid Bartholomew. But that doesn't mean that every Greek

524
00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:40.319
<v Speaker 1>church or person is bad.

525
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:41.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying that at all.

526
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:44.759
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I heard what he said about I don't want

527
00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:48.319
<v Speaker 10>to look bad why the patriarch, But he said that

528
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:51.759
<v Speaker 10>we worship the same God to Muslims and Jewish people

529
00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:53.559
<v Speaker 10>and we're all into the same god or something.

530
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:56.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he teaches all the same stuff that Francis and

531
00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Vatican too teaches. So yeah, he's pretty pretty sketchy for sure.

532
00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:01.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

533
00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:04.799
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, So you're the Russian or Phodos are not on

534
00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:05.880
<v Speaker 10>the hidden So what you're.

535
00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Saying now, Russians are under uh uh the.

536
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:16.119
<v Speaker 3>MP Okay, thank you for that.

537
00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:23.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, good questions man. Glad you're back out of Baptist world. Uh, Marty,

538
00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:33.839
<v Speaker 1>Marty the juice man. What's up? The super super chats

539
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:35.680
<v Speaker 1>are pinned if you guys want to leave the super

540
00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:40.240
<v Speaker 1>chat there, appreciate that. Gott I'm mute, dude.

541
00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:45.240
<v Speaker 11>Hello, what's up?

542
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:46.279
<v Speaker 2>Hey, what's on your mind?

543
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:51.519
<v Speaker 11>Thank you? I want to hear more about that. Your

544
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:56.240
<v Speaker 11>metaphysical kind of view. Uh you said something about the

545
00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:57.920
<v Speaker 11>transcendental argument.

546
00:28:58.839 --> 00:28:59.319
<v Speaker 3>Mm hmmm.

547
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:08.319
<v Speaker 11>I honestly like don't truly see the merit, but probably

548
00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:16.599
<v Speaker 11>you know, I can just don't understand. So are you

549
00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:20.119
<v Speaker 11>saying that you need that? What is knowledge like in

550
00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:20.880
<v Speaker 11>your definition?

551
00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:26.279
<v Speaker 1>Well, I would say there's different types of knowledge, you know,

552
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:28.720
<v Speaker 1>the Greeks even had a lot of different Greek terms

553
00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:31.839
<v Speaker 1>for different types of knowledge. But if you mean justified,

554
00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I think justified true belief and gettier problem and all

555
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:38.039
<v Speaker 1>that in terms of modern philosophy, is a valid question

556
00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:40.680
<v Speaker 1>to ask any worldview can they give an account for

557
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:44.359
<v Speaker 1>knowledge claims? And you know, why ought we to believe

558
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:49.480
<v Speaker 1>something rather than you know just what knowledge claims are?

559
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:52.319
<v Speaker 1>So I think there's an element of aught involved in

560
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:54.720
<v Speaker 1>all this. That's that's a big part of the argumentation

561
00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:57.680
<v Speaker 1>that I make ought we believe what is true, and

562
00:29:57.759 --> 00:29:59.799
<v Speaker 1>so you can't really divorce point there is just that

563
00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:03.839
<v Speaker 1>you can't divorce epistemology from ethics.

564
00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:09.039
<v Speaker 11>Question. Okay, sorry, do you think that like a thought

565
00:30:09.160 --> 00:30:15.680
<v Speaker 11>can capture reality? Fully? Can any thought be like one?

566
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:21.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think that because we're made in the

567
00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:23.960
<v Speaker 1>image of God, we have the ability to reason about

568
00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:26.559
<v Speaker 1>the world and accurately understand the world. But that doesn't

569
00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:30.680
<v Speaker 1>mean that we have exhaustive knowledge or omniscience. That's why

570
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:33.440
<v Speaker 1>God functions in the worldview to do that for us.

571
00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:38.599
<v Speaker 11>Yes, So what is it that you can know if

572
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:43.559
<v Speaker 11>any thought is like no thought actually describes the world

573
00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:44.319
<v Speaker 11>as it is?

574
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:46.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't say that.

575
00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:47.640
<v Speaker 2>I didn't say that said.

576
00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:52.319
<v Speaker 1>How do you know that no thought doesn't describe the

577
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:52.920
<v Speaker 1>world as it is?

578
00:30:54.559 --> 00:30:54.720
<v Speaker 3>Well?

579
00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:57.440
<v Speaker 11>Because I can deconstruct like any thought and see that

580
00:30:57.519 --> 00:30:58.279
<v Speaker 11>it's partial.

581
00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, how but just because something is partial doesn't mean

582
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:03.480
<v Speaker 1>that it has no relation to the world.

583
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:06.799
<v Speaker 11>I'm not saying no relation.

584
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying that you said, you said, you said

585
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:11.319
<v Speaker 1>it bears no similarity to the world.

586
00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:18.200
<v Speaker 11>I don't think that there's like no similarity, but I don't.

587
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:21.640
<v Speaker 11>I don't think it describes the world. Actually, it's like

588
00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:24.720
<v Speaker 11>it is. I think it does describe partially.

589
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:27.319
<v Speaker 2>How do you know it does that partially?

590
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:35.119
<v Speaker 3>Then let me.

591
00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:37.279
<v Speaker 11>Let me just one second, Like, how do I know

592
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:42.799
<v Speaker 11>they describe it partially? I think it's like a deduction thing. Like, honestly,

593
00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:44.359
<v Speaker 11>I don't believe that we actually know.

594
00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:48.319
<v Speaker 1>How would deduction tell you about inductive's knowledge?

595
00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:52.480
<v Speaker 11>Maybe I'm confused in the terms.

596
00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:53.839
<v Speaker 3>But like.

597
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Deduction is reasoning from the general to the particular.

598
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:04.680
<v Speaker 11>From the past to the future. Like, like you know,

599
00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:08.319
<v Speaker 11>I know that let the ball.

600
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:10.839
<v Speaker 1>Drop, that's inductive reason.

601
00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:16.200
<v Speaker 11>Inductive However, yeah, sorry, so I'm saying, like, you know,

602
00:32:18.440 --> 00:32:24.039
<v Speaker 11>from uh, let's say, partial worldview, I call it conventional worldview.

603
00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:27.640
<v Speaker 11>I know that the ball will fall like a million times,

604
00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:30.119
<v Speaker 11>it will probably fall a million and one time. If

605
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:31.759
<v Speaker 11>I you know, pick it up.

606
00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:35.079
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, how do you know that? So you think it? Well,

607
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:35.880
<v Speaker 1>but how do you know that?

608
00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:38.480
<v Speaker 11>I'm saying it's like inductive or whatever.

609
00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:40.319
<v Speaker 2>It's like okay, but.

610
00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:43.279
<v Speaker 1>David Hume, well, I'm making the human argument. That human said,

611
00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:45.599
<v Speaker 1>you can't demonstrate or prove induction, so.

612
00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:49.559
<v Speaker 11>I can't prove it. That's I think that's part of

613
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:51.039
<v Speaker 11>my I can't prove it.

614
00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:52.000
<v Speaker 2>You can't.

615
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:53.519
<v Speaker 1>So you're a human skeptic.

616
00:32:55.079 --> 00:32:57.119
<v Speaker 11>I would say that I don't know. I'm not in

617
00:32:57.880 --> 00:33:01.079
<v Speaker 11>I'm more likey into Buddhism, like I understand it more,

618
00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:04.599
<v Speaker 11>I don't follow like completely Western.

619
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, right, So if you're a skeptic and you don't

620
00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:10.680
<v Speaker 1>know that there's the you know, the future will be

621
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:13.359
<v Speaker 1>like the past, then there's no basis or justification for knowledge.

622
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:14.920
<v Speaker 3>So your your.

623
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:20.799
<v Speaker 1>Position is self defeating. Why because there's no justification for knowledge?

624
00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:27.640
<v Speaker 11>Claims there's no justification for knowledge? What does justification mean?

625
00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Justify true belief and the gettier problem?

626
00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:35.039
<v Speaker 11>Justify true beliefs, and what.

627
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:37.640
<v Speaker 1>The get to your problem?

628
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:38.400
<v Speaker 11>Get here?

629
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:41.839
<v Speaker 1>Get to your problem?

630
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:42.720
<v Speaker 11>Can you say?

631
00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:43.160
<v Speaker 5>What is that?

632
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

633
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:47.960
<v Speaker 1>It's an addition to the classic notion of JTB. Which

634
00:33:48.039 --> 00:33:50.440
<v Speaker 1>is justified true belief, the traditional idea of what it

635
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:54.839
<v Speaker 1>means to justify or ground your knowledge claims. Somebody pointed

636
00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:59.160
<v Speaker 1>out that you could actually also get something right accidentally,

637
00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:00.960
<v Speaker 1>but you wouldn't be just to fighting your knowledge. This

638
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:04.119
<v Speaker 1>is why it's called the Ghettier problem. So it's just

639
00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:05.680
<v Speaker 1>an additional fourth criteria.

640
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:13.880
<v Speaker 11>Okay. So basically, okay, so basically just you know, in

641
00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:17.320
<v Speaker 11>Layman's terms, why would you say that your self defeating.

642
00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:21.519
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean, if you if well, you said you

643
00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:24.280
<v Speaker 1>haven't read human, but I mean you're making a human argument,

644
00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:27.760
<v Speaker 1>and human skepticism is premised on the idea that knowledge

645
00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:32.280
<v Speaker 1>is not ultimately justifiable. You can't justify it. That's the point.

646
00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:33.960
<v Speaker 11>Yeah I can't.

647
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:36.239
<v Speaker 1>Okay, then you don't have it then okay, then then

648
00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:38.119
<v Speaker 1>debate is not possible, thank you exactly?

649
00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:41.360
<v Speaker 11>Okay, so we can agree.

650
00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:44.320
<v Speaker 1>No, that's a reputation of your position. It's not an

651
00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:47.960
<v Speaker 1>agreement of yours. All right, So this is like low

652
00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:57.760
<v Speaker 1>tiered day O. L W, what's up man? Yeah, argumentation

653
00:34:57.880 --> 00:34:59.719
<v Speaker 1>is not possible. How is that a reputation of my

654
00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:01.280
<v Speaker 1>poss I was like argue against you?

655
00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:03.079
<v Speaker 2>Ol W? What's up?

656
00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:10.760
<v Speaker 12>Can you hear me, man, So can ask a question

657
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:12.119
<v Speaker 12>about the essence energ.

658
00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:17.760
<v Speaker 3>Distinction within God with what so?

659
00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:23.039
<v Speaker 12>So if you consider God in and of himself, that

660
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:25.960
<v Speaker 12>means that he's deficient with all the energies.

661
00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:28.039
<v Speaker 3>So the energy is not deficient.

662
00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:31.280
<v Speaker 1>He's not deficient. He never lacked energy.

663
00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:37.960
<v Speaker 12>So that's ridiculous, right, just because the energies are if

664
00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:40.880
<v Speaker 12>you're considering gods in and of himself, he's still deficient

665
00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:41.719
<v Speaker 12>with all the energy.

666
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:44.960
<v Speaker 1>It's not deficient. There's no deficiency in God. That's that's

667
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:48.679
<v Speaker 1>you have a presupposition about perfection, which is a medieval

668
00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:52.239
<v Speaker 1>metaphysical assumption which you can't justify. So this argument hinges

669
00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:54.880
<v Speaker 1>on stupid medieval arguments about perfection.

670
00:35:57.719 --> 00:35:59.880
<v Speaker 11>So, like, consider the energy of knowledge.

671
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Let me show you how stupid this.

672
00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:03.599
<v Speaker 1>Let me show you how about dumbest argument is, Uh,

673
00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:07.960
<v Speaker 1>God only created one universe and that's less perfect than

674
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:11.480
<v Speaker 1>if he created two, three, four, ten universes. So this

675
00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:16.119
<v Speaker 1>is a dumb medieval argument based on metaphysical assumptions about

676
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:20.960
<v Speaker 1>what perfection is. So I'm going to ask you to

677
00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:23.559
<v Speaker 1>justify the assumption of the argument. How do you know

678
00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:25.920
<v Speaker 1>that that's what perfection is? And a divine being.

679
00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:30.320
<v Speaker 12>Right, So for being to be perfect, he has to

680
00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:34.039
<v Speaker 12>be omniscient, which which is that is?

681
00:36:34.039 --> 00:36:37.159
<v Speaker 1>So what about all the other attributes? So is he

682
00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:39.960
<v Speaker 1>is he not perfect until he creates a world because

683
00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:41.519
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't become a creator.

684
00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:47.239
<v Speaker 12>No, because he is transiently eternally created.

685
00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:49.280
<v Speaker 3>He just hasn't actually done it yet.

686
00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:52.360
<v Speaker 1>No, that's not an If he hasn't actualized it, then

687
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:53.639
<v Speaker 1>he didn't eternally create it.

688
00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:59.039
<v Speaker 12>That doesn't make any sense, right, But transiently created it?

689
00:36:59.280 --> 00:36:59.960
<v Speaker 2>What is that? That is?

690
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:04.039
<v Speaker 1>And there's no such thing as transiently created it?

691
00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:03.000
<v Speaker 3>Right?

692
00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:06.039
<v Speaker 1>So you're making up terms exactly.

693
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:09.519
<v Speaker 12>So I can will to build a house, but I

694
00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:11.480
<v Speaker 12>don't actually build the house now, I build it two

695
00:37:11.559 --> 00:37:15.239
<v Speaker 12>years for now that trans yet metaphysics book.

696
00:37:16.239 --> 00:37:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but that's we're not Aristotelian. That's why the aessence

697
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:22.960
<v Speaker 1>introducing which comes from Arisa, Well, good for you.

698
00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:25.440
<v Speaker 2>But are you are you Catholic?

699
00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:32.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I'm Roman exactly, So I'm not asking.

700
00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Are you really are you really inquiring?

701
00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:39.599
<v Speaker 1>You're not inquiring into orthodoxy. You're playing you're playing word games.

702
00:37:41.280 --> 00:37:43.559
<v Speaker 2>Well I don't know, I yeah exactly, So.

703
00:37:43.559 --> 00:37:44.079
<v Speaker 1>You're a liar.

704
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:47.400
<v Speaker 13>Goodbye.

705
00:37:50.639 --> 00:38:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Next up, I'm your dude, Greek name. I can't pronounce

706
00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:10.239
<v Speaker 1>your Greek name. I'm mute.

707
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:22.480
<v Speaker 2>What's up? Okay? Don't low quality?

708
00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:24.360
<v Speaker 5>Hey?

709
00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:27.320
<v Speaker 3>You able to hear me? Killer?

710
00:38:27.679 --> 00:38:27.960
<v Speaker 11>Okay?

711
00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:31.119
<v Speaker 14>Quick question raised Roman Catholic I think goes on here

712
00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:33.719
<v Speaker 14>a while ago. I appreciate you answering the last question,

713
00:38:33.840 --> 00:38:36.320
<v Speaker 14>which was about, Hey, I can't really impact change on

714
00:38:36.360 --> 00:38:37.079
<v Speaker 14>a wild scale.

715
00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:40.239
<v Speaker 3>But anyway, back to the question, Uh, the.

716
00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:42.480
<v Speaker 14>Catholic position on the death penalty seemed.

717
00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:44.239
<v Speaker 3>To have been inconsistent.

718
00:38:44.840 --> 00:38:51.320
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, following kind of the trajectory of every other Catholic position.

719
00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:55.079
<v Speaker 14>Seems like a lot of the current writings appeal to

720
00:38:55.519 --> 00:38:59.800
<v Speaker 14>either the un position or some sort of I don't know,

721
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:04.800
<v Speaker 14>some some modern secular considerations. But just trying to get

722
00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:07.800
<v Speaker 14>an idea of what the Orthodox position on the death

723
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:11.760
<v Speaker 14>penalty is, I'm not able to find anything specific.

724
00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:16.639
<v Speaker 1>Read the ro Corps statement at the ro Corps website

725
00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:21.920
<v Speaker 1>on war and you'll find also that the Russian Orthodox Church,

726
00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:28.920
<v Speaker 1>the MP still upholds the death penalty mospat dot ru.

727
00:39:29.079 --> 00:39:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Their website has a teacher the social teaching, So we

728
00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:35.079
<v Speaker 1>still uphold the death penalty, at least in the Russian

729
00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:38.239
<v Speaker 1>Church and probably the Serbs and others, but you will

730
00:39:38.280 --> 00:39:44.960
<v Speaker 1>find some liberalized Greeks and Oca that do not believe

731
00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:47.239
<v Speaker 1>in the death penalty, which is dumb.

732
00:39:50.760 --> 00:40:03.639
<v Speaker 2>What's up, dude? You got.

733
00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:13.599
<v Speaker 1>Dude, I don't know why you keep coming on here

734
00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:20.320
<v Speaker 1>if you don't want to talk. That's no nonsense day today, Matthew.

735
00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:27.119
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, a jay.

736
00:40:27.159 --> 00:40:32.039
<v Speaker 3>I just wanted to get your opinion on Sam Simon

737
00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:32.800
<v Speaker 3>and God Logic.

738
00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:35.000
<v Speaker 11>I mean, I like him, but they put I know

739
00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:40.599
<v Speaker 11>San Simon, he's he's him, but Sam Stramone.

740
00:40:40.599 --> 00:40:41.800
<v Speaker 3>I just want to know if they're well.

741
00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:44.400
<v Speaker 5>I know Sam Sermon is very knowledgeable and he's I

742
00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:46.480
<v Speaker 5>believe he is Eastern Orthodox, right at one.

743
00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:48.239
<v Speaker 2>Time he would know he's not Orthodox?

744
00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:49.480
<v Speaker 3>What what?

745
00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:50.000
<v Speaker 5>What is he?

746
00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Because I feel like he's attending a Catholic church. He

747
00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:55.920
<v Speaker 1>is a Syrian, He's of Syrian origin, so he was

748
00:40:56.199 --> 00:40:59.239
<v Speaker 1>a Syrian Church of the East, and now he favors

749
00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Catholicism as I understand.

750
00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:04.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, And what about I don't know if you know

751
00:41:04.519 --> 00:41:07.519
<v Speaker 3>God Logic, I know of him.

752
00:41:08.599 --> 00:41:10.440
<v Speaker 5>Him Jilly, what what what are his bully?

753
00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:11.440
<v Speaker 3>Because I really can't know.

754
00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:14.599
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I see, I don't.

755
00:41:14.639 --> 00:41:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean somebody said he wanted to do a podcast together,

756
00:41:17.320 --> 00:41:18.679
<v Speaker 1>and I said I was down for that, but I

757
00:41:18.679 --> 00:41:21.639
<v Speaker 1>don't know what his uh what what church he attends

758
00:41:21.719 --> 00:41:24.800
<v Speaker 1>or what his views are. Hm, it's your last chance

759
00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:25.000
<v Speaker 1>to do.

760
00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:25.440
<v Speaker 2>What's up?

761
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:31.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm mute?

762
00:41:33.840 --> 00:41:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well uh huh.

763
00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:42.480
<v Speaker 8>Hear me y uh from Greeks, from Greece. I just

764
00:41:42.519 --> 00:41:45.559
<v Speaker 8>came back from Mount Athos. Uh so I have a

765
00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:51.519
<v Speaker 8>message for the Europeans may be listening. Mounts was very clear.

766
00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:56.039
<v Speaker 8>I wish I didn't take the new digital ladies, the European ladies.

767
00:41:57.519 --> 00:42:00.960
<v Speaker 3>Uh. I spoke to spiritual children. No thin patios.

768
00:42:01.480 --> 00:42:04.519
<v Speaker 8>Uh Oh, there are famous is the one and a

769
00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:08.119
<v Speaker 8>there are sinis and both of them.

770
00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:09.559
<v Speaker 3>We're very clear about.

771
00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:14.559
<v Speaker 8>It because from September selling from September, there will be

772
00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:20.880
<v Speaker 8>one one serio number for everything, so for example, the idea,

773
00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:24.679
<v Speaker 8>the bank accounts, everything will be in one number. And

774
00:42:24.800 --> 00:42:28.280
<v Speaker 8>that is essentially the last states before the markets the beast.

775
00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:32.480
<v Speaker 1>That's what I want to say, all right, appreciate that,

776
00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:39.800
<v Speaker 1>so avoid the US tracking tracing crap that they want

777
00:42:39.800 --> 00:42:47.679
<v Speaker 1>to push. Ricardo, what's up? Appreciate that? Hello, hell you,

778
00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:48.079
<v Speaker 1>what's up?

779
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:52.000
<v Speaker 3>What's up? Jay? There's like a huge delay on my Twitter.

780
00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:55.559
<v Speaker 15>But I just want to ask you two questions regarding

781
00:42:55.599 --> 00:43:00.760
<v Speaker 15>the transcendal argument. I was into the debate with Trent Horne,

782
00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:06.559
<v Speaker 15>and he was claiming that the form that you the

783
00:43:06.599 --> 00:43:09.440
<v Speaker 15>way that you elaborate on the transcendental argument is a

784
00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:12.760
<v Speaker 15>form of natural theology.

785
00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, because in the course of that debate, Trent

786
00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:22.800
<v Speaker 1>mistakenly used about three different ideas for what he thinks

787
00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:27.119
<v Speaker 1>natural theology is. So he thinks doing apologetics is natural theology.

788
00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:30.719
<v Speaker 1>He thinks using reason and logic is natural theology. But

789
00:43:31.079 --> 00:43:33.199
<v Speaker 1>when I send him the terms of debate, I defined

790
00:43:33.239 --> 00:43:36.559
<v Speaker 1>it according to his own church. Natural theology is defined

791
00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:38.840
<v Speaker 1>and not just by John Paul and his few does

792
00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:44.000
<v Speaker 1>at ratio and cyclical. It's defined in everybody's theology as

793
00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:48.079
<v Speaker 1>reasoning about God apart from divine revelation. That's it. That's

794
00:43:48.119 --> 00:43:52.159
<v Speaker 1>the definition of what natural theology is in his own system.

795
00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:55.119
<v Speaker 1>So using reasoning is not natural theology. So that was

796
00:43:55.159 --> 00:43:57.920
<v Speaker 1>really a stupid mistake on his point.

797
00:43:57.960 --> 00:43:59.559
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I understand that now.

798
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:03.920
<v Speaker 15>But also the second thing, how do you jump from

799
00:44:04.199 --> 00:44:08.519
<v Speaker 15>the transcendental argument, which I agree with, to a Abrahamic

800
00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:10.960
<v Speaker 15>Orthodox God.

801
00:44:11.119 --> 00:44:13.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've done that a lot of podcasts on that,

802
00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:15.920
<v Speaker 1>So you can find the one that I did critiquing

803
00:44:16.079 --> 00:44:19.519
<v Speaker 1>doctor Ed Faser on universals. You can find another two

804
00:44:19.519 --> 00:44:22.880
<v Speaker 1>podcasts I did on answering objections to the transcendent argument,

805
00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:25.440
<v Speaker 1>and I show in those videos how you get to

806
00:44:25.559 --> 00:44:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Trinity from tag. So it's too much to rehearse right now,

807
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:33.239
<v Speaker 1>but you can go watch those videos how Martello no

808
00:44:33.320 --> 00:44:34.000
<v Speaker 1>wa it will.

809
00:44:38.719 --> 00:44:42.119
<v Speaker 3>Did all right?

810
00:44:42.199 --> 00:44:47.599
<v Speaker 16>So I I grew up like a pre standard Vatican

811
00:44:47.639 --> 00:44:52.719
<v Speaker 16>two Roman Catholic, and obviously I didn't take it seriously. Recently,

812
00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:55.599
<v Speaker 16>I've been flirting with set of a contism. However, I

813
00:44:55.679 --> 00:44:59.719
<v Speaker 16>have been kind of ping pong back and forth East

814
00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:04.280
<v Speaker 16>and West, and I've come to the conclusion that Eastern

815
00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:08.679
<v Speaker 16>Orthodoxy is better in theory Roman Catholicism is better in practice.

816
00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:12.920
<v Speaker 16>I say that because, like maybe it's just geographically. I

817
00:45:12.920 --> 00:45:15.360
<v Speaker 16>am like, I'm probably like the best place, like where

818
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:17.840
<v Speaker 16>I live on the best place to like be said

819
00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:20.239
<v Speaker 16>of a contest in like the worst place to be Orthodox.

820
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:27.119
<v Speaker 16>I just feel like most Orthodox churches are pretty liberal.

821
00:45:28.280 --> 00:45:30.119
<v Speaker 1>As I mean, I don't know where you're going to

822
00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:34.079
<v Speaker 1>where where like not in my experience, but I don't

823
00:45:34.159 --> 00:45:37.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean I only typically end up in uh, you know,

824
00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Russian Orthodox Serbian churches.

825
00:45:39.480 --> 00:45:43.559
<v Speaker 16>So well, it seems like even in those churches, like

826
00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:46.960
<v Speaker 16>the priests still seem like pretty like pro birth control.

827
00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:50.519
<v Speaker 16>And like that's the thing about Roman Catholicism is like

828
00:45:50.920 --> 00:45:53.039
<v Speaker 16>with like Copley with the thirteenth, we have like a

829
00:45:53.039 --> 00:45:56.719
<v Speaker 16>magisterium of moral theology we cannot kind of lean back on.

830
00:45:56.880 --> 00:46:00.519
<v Speaker 1>You don't like orthodoxy, No, you don't have that in

831
00:46:00.599 --> 00:46:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Rome Falsism either, So you understand. I mean, I'm I'm

832
00:46:03.480 --> 00:46:05.920
<v Speaker 1>surprised you haven't realized that. You know, state of a

833
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:10.519
<v Speaker 1>contism is a totally dead end position, right, because you

834
00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:11.920
<v Speaker 1>love that it's a dead end position.

835
00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:15.480
<v Speaker 16>No, No, I love it because it's very simple and

836
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:16.360
<v Speaker 16>it's very fun.

837
00:46:17.400 --> 00:46:18.840
<v Speaker 1>A set of a contism is fun.

838
00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:23.400
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, Like the idea of like you're like a small

839
00:46:23.440 --> 00:46:28.199
<v Speaker 16>group of people and like the like is like apostased.

840
00:46:29.480 --> 00:46:32.280
<v Speaker 1>So it's a false elitism, is what that is?

841
00:46:33.400 --> 00:46:35.639
<v Speaker 16>Well, I mean it's like when you read scripture, like

842
00:46:35.719 --> 00:46:39.400
<v Speaker 16>this is like the pattern, like the vast majority will

843
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:42.199
<v Speaker 16>fall away and it's kind of like this small remnant

844
00:46:42.400 --> 00:46:43.039
<v Speaker 16>will kind.

845
00:46:42.840 --> 00:46:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Of okay, but let's cut to the chase here, because

846
00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:47.480
<v Speaker 1>if you read Vatican one, it's very clear that the

847
00:46:47.599 --> 00:46:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Roman Sea will not apostatize and fall away. So that's

848
00:46:50.519 --> 00:46:53.440
<v Speaker 1>why Vatican that's why I said acusism is impossible, and

849
00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:55.880
<v Speaker 1>it's really it's really a sact. So you're in a

850
00:46:55.920 --> 00:46:58.039
<v Speaker 1>cult basically, no, because the.

851
00:46:58.079 --> 00:47:02.440
<v Speaker 16>Argument set of a concism is essentially like Vatican two

852
00:47:02.480 --> 00:47:02.880
<v Speaker 16>was not the.

853
00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:05.719
<v Speaker 1>Roman See And you didn't hear what I said? Did

854
00:47:05.719 --> 00:47:06.599
<v Speaker 1>you not hear what I said?

855
00:47:07.639 --> 00:47:10.440
<v Speaker 7>You said that the Roman Sea cannot apostas.

856
00:47:10.239 --> 00:47:13.000
<v Speaker 1>That when I said, I said, Vatican one teaches that

857
00:47:13.079 --> 00:47:16.239
<v Speaker 1>clear as day, that the Roman See can never apostatize

858
00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:19.119
<v Speaker 1>and it will always have successors until the return of Christ.

859
00:47:20.639 --> 00:47:24.239
<v Speaker 16>Well, so on the perpetuitious successors thing, that's that's.

860
00:47:24.159 --> 00:47:25.719
<v Speaker 7>Kind of easy to debunk because.

861
00:47:25.519 --> 00:47:28.440
<v Speaker 16>That's what you mean, Like if you mean the sheriff

862
00:47:28.480 --> 00:47:32.199
<v Speaker 16>Peter is going to be continually like constantly occupied.

863
00:47:32.400 --> 00:47:33.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, obviously that's not true.

864
00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:37.079
<v Speaker 1>That's no, it says successors until the end of the world.

865
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:40.159
<v Speaker 1>You can't have a hundred year gap where there's no pope, dude,

866
00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:42.119
<v Speaker 1>and you understand you can never have a pope again

867
00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:44.079
<v Speaker 1>in your system.

868
00:47:44.239 --> 00:47:46.880
<v Speaker 16>Well, I think, well, so the guys who say that

869
00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:48.480
<v Speaker 16>you can't have a pope again, are the ones who

870
00:47:48.519 --> 00:47:52.360
<v Speaker 16>say that the new right of ordination are invalid? I'm

871
00:47:52.400 --> 00:47:55.320
<v Speaker 16>kind of split on that. I think they're ambiguous at best.

872
00:47:57.519 --> 00:47:59.440
<v Speaker 16>But I mean most said of a concerts will still

873
00:47:59.440 --> 00:48:03.400
<v Speaker 16>say that you could, like, there could be a new pope.

874
00:48:03.480 --> 00:48:04.480
<v Speaker 1>And how is that going to happen?

875
00:48:06.280 --> 00:48:06.719
<v Speaker 7>I don't know?

876
00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:10.199
<v Speaker 1>Right, So this is a total bullshit position. It's not

877
00:48:10.280 --> 00:48:12.719
<v Speaker 1>a real position. It doesn't exist. And that's why although

878
00:48:12.760 --> 00:48:14.360
<v Speaker 1>said of a contests all fight and hit each other

879
00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:16.199
<v Speaker 1>and to destruct each other's Have you read the book

880
00:48:16.199 --> 00:48:17.239
<v Speaker 1>Set of a Concious Delusion?

881
00:48:18.199 --> 00:48:19.880
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I've heard you talk about it a lot, but

882
00:48:19.960 --> 00:48:23.320
<v Speaker 7>you haven't read read that. I've not read that book yet, but.

883
00:48:24.320 --> 00:48:24.880
<v Speaker 2>So you don't.

884
00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:27.079
<v Speaker 1>So you don't think Vatican One teaches that there will

885
00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:29.400
<v Speaker 1>be successors until the end of the world. In the

886
00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Roman Sea, it doesn't teach that.

887
00:48:32.880 --> 00:48:35.760
<v Speaker 7>I mean it does say perpetuity of successors.

888
00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Uh huh? And so how were so there's not been

889
00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:40.159
<v Speaker 1>a successor in the last seventy years, when when is

890
00:48:40.159 --> 00:48:41.079
<v Speaker 1>there going to be another one?

891
00:48:42.159 --> 00:48:42.960
<v Speaker 7>I mean, there could be.

892
00:48:43.599 --> 00:48:49.599
<v Speaker 16>How so one of the theories is like, like when

893
00:48:49.599 --> 00:48:51.679
<v Speaker 16>we keep making the joke about Pius at thirteenth and

894
00:48:51.679 --> 00:48:52.840
<v Speaker 16>the Third Vatican Council.

895
00:48:53.039 --> 00:48:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so you don't see that this is totally divorced

896
00:48:55.960 --> 00:48:58.400
<v Speaker 1>from reality. I mean, I feel sorry for you guys,

897
00:48:58.400 --> 00:49:00.159
<v Speaker 1>But if that's what you if that's what you want,

898
00:49:00.280 --> 00:49:01.280
<v Speaker 1>go for it. Man, have fun.

899
00:49:02.719 --> 00:49:04.800
<v Speaker 13>It's going to ruin your life, atheists.

900
00:49:04.880 --> 00:49:05.360
<v Speaker 2>What's up?

901
00:49:19.199 --> 00:49:19.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm mute?

902
00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:19.920
<v Speaker 3>Man?

903
00:49:21.559 --> 00:49:21.840
<v Speaker 11>Hello?

904
00:49:21.920 --> 00:49:25.239
<v Speaker 3>Hi? Are you able to hear me? Great? Thank you?

905
00:49:25.320 --> 00:49:25.480
<v Speaker 8>Hi.

906
00:49:26.199 --> 00:49:29.719
<v Speaker 17>I want to ask you something. It's European for European

907
00:49:29.880 --> 00:49:34.039
<v Speaker 17>about this thing. I used to be an atheist, atheist.

908
00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:39.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm Catholic now, but this.

909
00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:40.599
<v Speaker 1>Is so you're still an atheist?

910
00:49:40.719 --> 00:49:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Jamie, could you bring me a coffee?

911
00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:47.440
<v Speaker 3>No, this is what I wanted to ask, Like.

912
00:49:47.679 --> 00:49:49.840
<v Speaker 1>It's a joke. So you're still an atheist because you're

913
00:49:49.840 --> 00:49:50.239
<v Speaker 1>a Catholic.

914
00:49:51.360 --> 00:49:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I got it, I got it.

915
00:49:54.199 --> 00:49:57.360
<v Speaker 17>I want to ask you if you think that we should,

916
00:49:58.119 --> 00:50:03.360
<v Speaker 17>which is the way, we should, try to convert atheists

917
00:50:03.639 --> 00:50:06.719
<v Speaker 17>to God as well?

918
00:50:06.880 --> 00:50:09.559
<v Speaker 1>Why convert them? I mean Francis said that atheists have

919
00:50:09.599 --> 00:50:11.440
<v Speaker 1>a path to God as well, and I mean your

920
00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:14.039
<v Speaker 1>own Vatican two documents teach that we all worship the

921
00:50:14.039 --> 00:50:17.519
<v Speaker 1>same God anyway, Muslims, Jews, Christians and Hindus. So why

922
00:50:17.519 --> 00:50:18.880
<v Speaker 1>do you why are you trying to convert people?

923
00:50:20.480 --> 00:50:23.920
<v Speaker 17>Well, for me, the most important fight we got to

924
00:50:23.960 --> 00:50:27.199
<v Speaker 17>give is against atheism for starters.

925
00:50:27.960 --> 00:50:29.239
<v Speaker 1>Did you hear what I said?

926
00:50:29.800 --> 00:50:30.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

927
00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:30.599
<v Speaker 2>I heard.

928
00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Do you believe that Muslims, Jews, Christians and Hindus all

929
00:50:33.440 --> 00:50:34.400
<v Speaker 1>worship God?

930
00:50:37.239 --> 00:50:41.639
<v Speaker 17>I will say, they have a misguided understanding of what

931
00:50:41.719 --> 00:50:42.199
<v Speaker 17>God is.

932
00:50:42.639 --> 00:50:44.719
<v Speaker 1>So I mean it says that the plan of Salvation

933
00:50:44.840 --> 00:50:47.360
<v Speaker 1>includes Muslims. So I mean you can you can still

934
00:50:47.400 --> 00:50:48.679
<v Speaker 1>be saying what's the point?

935
00:50:49.000 --> 00:50:50.639
<v Speaker 5>You know, I understand what you mean.

936
00:50:50.679 --> 00:50:52.840
<v Speaker 17>But what I wanted to ask you is do you

937
00:50:52.920 --> 00:50:55.480
<v Speaker 17>think we should convert them from God?

938
00:50:55.559 --> 00:50:55.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

939
00:50:55.760 --> 00:50:58.840
<v Speaker 1>But you're missing what I'm saying is that you haven't

940
00:50:58.880 --> 00:51:01.800
<v Speaker 1>actually converted. That's my point because the God that you're

941
00:51:01.840 --> 00:51:04.800
<v Speaker 1>worshiping in Roman Catholicism is the same God as the

942
00:51:04.880 --> 00:51:08.119
<v Speaker 1>Muslim and the Jew and the Hindu, and if you

943
00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:11.559
<v Speaker 1>read the Bible, that's not God. Does Jesus say that

944
00:51:11.599 --> 00:51:13.400
<v Speaker 1>we all worship the same God? Or does he say

945
00:51:13.880 --> 00:51:15.360
<v Speaker 1>no one comes to Father but through me.

946
00:51:17.679 --> 00:51:19.000
<v Speaker 3>The latter, the latter? Yeah?

947
00:51:19.039 --> 00:51:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So how is Vatican two in Nostratate and Lemgentium

948
00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:23.760
<v Speaker 1>sixteen correct?

949
00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:25.519
<v Speaker 3>Well?

950
00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:28.840
<v Speaker 17>For the moment, I wasn't talking about religion. I wanted

951
00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:31.239
<v Speaker 17>to know your opinion about religions.

952
00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:36.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're not talking about religion.

953
00:51:36.119 --> 00:51:36.519
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean?

954
00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:37.719
<v Speaker 7>No?

955
00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:41.760
<v Speaker 17>No, I mean because I'm for the moment, I'm talking

956
00:51:41.800 --> 00:51:47.239
<v Speaker 17>about leading the conversion of someone to believing in God.

957
00:51:47.639 --> 00:51:51.039
<v Speaker 1>Like you, there's no such thing as generic God. There

958
00:51:51.079 --> 00:51:53.679
<v Speaker 1>is no generic God that doesn't exist.

959
00:51:54.239 --> 00:51:54.800
<v Speaker 3>I know, I know.

960
00:51:56.159 --> 00:51:59.159
<v Speaker 17>But don't you think that some people need like a

961
00:51:59.239 --> 00:52:02.360
<v Speaker 17>pathway to follow in order to reach to the proper

962
00:52:02.440 --> 00:52:03.679
<v Speaker 17>understanding of God?

963
00:52:04.559 --> 00:52:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Again?

964
00:52:04.920 --> 00:52:08.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, uh, you could say, yeah, there's like steps

965
00:52:08.360 --> 00:52:12.719
<v Speaker 1>in the right direction, but I mean that's It's like,

966
00:52:13.920 --> 00:52:16.400
<v Speaker 1>if the thesis of Vatican two is that we're all

967
00:52:16.440 --> 00:52:19.800
<v Speaker 1>worshiping the same deity, then it's not getting you anywhere.

968
00:52:21.920 --> 00:52:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Terrence. Yeah, I agree, Like.

969
00:52:28.320 --> 00:52:30.239
<v Speaker 1>Why are we You're trying to fix the world. I

970
00:52:30.280 --> 00:52:31.760
<v Speaker 1>think you need to fix your views.

971
00:52:38.840 --> 00:52:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Terrence. I'm mute.

972
00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:43.760
<v Speaker 3>Hello, how are you good?

973
00:52:43.800 --> 00:52:45.519
<v Speaker 2>What's up? Hey, Jamie?

974
00:52:51.239 --> 00:52:53.079
<v Speaker 1>Terrence Howard, Terrence trend Darby, what's up?

975
00:52:54.519 --> 00:52:59.480
<v Speaker 18>And so I identify as a Hebrew Israelite. I don't follow

976
00:52:59.559 --> 00:53:03.440
<v Speaker 18>these practices of those that you see dressed in those

977
00:53:03.480 --> 00:53:05.519
<v Speaker 18>funny uniforms yelling at people in the street.

978
00:53:05.519 --> 00:53:05.960
<v Speaker 3>Corners.

979
00:53:06.440 --> 00:53:11.960
<v Speaker 18>However, I do identify as a Hebrew. I do believe

980
00:53:12.079 --> 00:53:16.960
<v Speaker 18>and know that the Bible is a historical book and

981
00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:23.000
<v Speaker 18>a covenant unto the children of Israel aka b Biblical Hebrews.

982
00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:27.800
<v Speaker 18>And so this this topic is certainly interested.

983
00:53:27.920 --> 00:53:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so it's a great Why would you believe any

984
00:53:29.960 --> 00:53:31.880
<v Speaker 1>of that? It's it's a ridiculous cult. I mean, it's

985
00:53:31.880 --> 00:53:34.639
<v Speaker 1>totally nonsensical. There's literally no reason to believe in this

986
00:53:34.679 --> 00:53:36.000
<v Speaker 1>stupid thing. Why would you believe it?

987
00:53:37.199 --> 00:53:37.760
<v Speaker 3>What do you say?

988
00:53:38.320 --> 00:53:40.880
<v Speaker 18>Excuse me, I'm just confused when you say a ridiculous cult.

989
00:53:41.039 --> 00:53:44.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Black Keeper Israelie is the stupidest modern cult of

990
00:53:44.679 --> 00:53:47.360
<v Speaker 1>all time. Like it's worse than even Mormons or anything.

991
00:53:47.360 --> 00:53:49.480
<v Speaker 1>It's the dumbest of all. Why would you believe that?

992
00:53:49.679 --> 00:53:50.400
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

993
00:53:50.480 --> 00:53:53.719
<v Speaker 18>Okay, Well that's your that is your theory that I

994
00:53:53.719 --> 00:53:57.519
<v Speaker 18>would certainly, uh, I would ask you to prove that.

995
00:53:57.599 --> 00:54:00.320
<v Speaker 5>First of all, it's a cult, because it's not a cult.

996
00:54:00.400 --> 00:54:04.000
<v Speaker 18>There are several different organizations who are congregations.

997
00:54:04.159 --> 00:54:05.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're all cults.

998
00:54:05.039 --> 00:54:06.480
<v Speaker 1>How's that all of them? They're all culled?

999
00:54:06.639 --> 00:54:09.679
<v Speaker 18>Okay, Okay, So you're just going to just say you're right,

1000
00:54:09.800 --> 00:54:12.920
<v Speaker 18>and because you make a statement and because you're.

1001
00:54:12.599 --> 00:54:15.119
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm not. I'm saying it based on the debates

1002
00:54:15.159 --> 00:54:18.639
<v Speaker 1>I've had with all the BHI debated, So.

1003
00:54:19.320 --> 00:54:22.039
<v Speaker 18>Based upon what How is it a cult? How is

1004
00:54:22.079 --> 00:54:24.840
<v Speaker 18>it a cult? Not just because you say so, but

1005
00:54:24.880 --> 00:54:25.639
<v Speaker 18>how is it a cult?

1006
00:54:25.760 --> 00:54:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, because it's premised on a ridiculous interpretation of certain

1007
00:54:29.559 --> 00:54:32.519
<v Speaker 1>verses to try to prove that Jesus was black. I mean,

1008
00:54:32.519 --> 00:54:34.159
<v Speaker 1>do you agree with those interpretations?

1009
00:54:35.760 --> 00:54:38.000
<v Speaker 5>How was he not black? How historically?

1010
00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:39.800
<v Speaker 3>How how of Jesus Christ white?

1011
00:54:40.719 --> 00:54:43.280
<v Speaker 1>I didn't say he was well, that's a non sequord.

1012
00:54:43.280 --> 00:54:45.239
<v Speaker 1>I didn't say he was white because I said he's

1013
00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:45.800
<v Speaker 1>not black.

1014
00:54:46.639 --> 00:54:48.840
<v Speaker 18>Okay, so wait, so let's just deal with a couple

1015
00:54:48.880 --> 00:54:49.239
<v Speaker 18>of things.

1016
00:54:49.880 --> 00:54:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you think those verses that talks about him with

1017
00:54:52.840 --> 00:54:55.039
<v Speaker 1>hair like wool and all that proves that he was black?

1018
00:54:56.599 --> 00:54:57.159
<v Speaker 18>Absolutely?

1019
00:54:57.360 --> 00:54:59.519
<v Speaker 1>But that's what I'm saying is super That's what I'm

1020
00:54:59.519 --> 00:55:02.599
<v Speaker 1>saying is super domb and low to your low IQ bullshit.

1021
00:55:02.960 --> 00:55:05.159
<v Speaker 18>Oh well you know so, so again this is like

1022
00:55:05.159 --> 00:55:07.199
<v Speaker 18>one of those I'm white because I'm white and I'm

1023
00:55:07.280 --> 00:55:08.239
<v Speaker 18>right because I say so.

1024
00:55:08.800 --> 00:55:11.000
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm saying that it's it's all based on ignorance.

1025
00:55:11.039 --> 00:55:12.880
<v Speaker 1>You you brought in all the racial stuff, not me.

1026
00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:14.239
<v Speaker 5>I didn't anything.

1027
00:55:14.599 --> 00:55:16.199
<v Speaker 2>You just said, you think you're white. Do you think

1028
00:55:16.199 --> 00:55:17.079
<v Speaker 2>you're right because you're white?

1029
00:55:17.239 --> 00:55:20.400
<v Speaker 1>I didn't say because you brought that in. That's because

1030
00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:23.239
<v Speaker 1>you got your emotional and you can't argue the facts.

1031
00:55:23.280 --> 00:55:24.079
<v Speaker 5>I'm not emotional.

1032
00:55:24.599 --> 00:55:26.400
<v Speaker 2>You started with all this race stuff. I didn't say

1033
00:55:26.400 --> 00:55:27.000
<v Speaker 2>anything about race.

1034
00:55:27.199 --> 00:55:28.400
<v Speaker 18>I didn't start with anything race.

1035
00:55:28.519 --> 00:55:29.079
<v Speaker 2>You just did.

1036
00:55:29.119 --> 00:55:32.039
<v Speaker 3>You said you think you're right because you because you No.

1037
00:55:32.239 --> 00:55:34.119
<v Speaker 18>Okay, No, here's the funny thing. Now, let's just let's

1038
00:55:34.440 --> 00:55:36.400
<v Speaker 18>let's calm down, all right, because I'm not I'm not

1039
00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:38.960
<v Speaker 18>angry or anything like that.

1040
00:55:39.039 --> 00:55:40.400
<v Speaker 5>I didn't start with any race.

1041
00:55:40.719 --> 00:55:43.000
<v Speaker 1>So those verses have nothing to deal with Jesus being black.

1042
00:55:43.039 --> 00:55:45.079
<v Speaker 1>Why do you think Why would you believe Jesus is black?

1043
00:55:45.760 --> 00:55:48.800
<v Speaker 18>Okay, So if you will allow me to answer those questions,

1044
00:55:48.800 --> 00:55:51.000
<v Speaker 18>and I could most scrutinly do that, all right. So

1045
00:55:51.199 --> 00:55:53.239
<v Speaker 18>the person who started out with racial stuff, because you.

1046
00:55:53.239 --> 00:55:59.159
<v Speaker 1>Be right, all right, that's just stupid.

1047
00:55:59.119 --> 00:56:00.960
<v Speaker 3>Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

1048
00:56:00.960 --> 00:56:01.800
<v Speaker 3>blah blah blah.

1049
00:56:04.599 --> 00:56:07.280
<v Speaker 2>S breaking out long.

1050
00:56:11.360 --> 00:56:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Right, Jesus is black because it says he was. When

1051
00:56:13.800 --> 00:56:17.679
<v Speaker 1>it shows him glorified, it says his hair was like wool,

1052
00:56:17.880 --> 00:56:20.679
<v Speaker 1>because we all know wol means a black person.

1053
00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:30.239
<v Speaker 19>Yeahs, yes, So when you're like running tag into an atheists,

1054
00:56:30.239 --> 00:56:31.800
<v Speaker 19>how would you refuse someone who.

1055
00:56:31.599 --> 00:56:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Denies like the ontology of logic, like anti realism.

1056
00:56:36.559 --> 00:56:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, they could go that route, but I think I

1057
00:56:38.280 --> 00:56:40.679
<v Speaker 1>would just bring up the problems with that position, which

1058
00:56:41.159 --> 00:56:43.199
<v Speaker 1>I mean, or so, are do you think logic is

1059
00:56:43.400 --> 00:56:44.960
<v Speaker 1>in some way physical?

1060
00:56:45.719 --> 00:56:46.000
<v Speaker 13>Uh?

1061
00:56:46.039 --> 00:56:49.639
<v Speaker 1>If you think logic is purely a token, then we

1062
00:56:49.719 --> 00:56:52.039
<v Speaker 1>don't know that it actually applies to anything in the world,

1063
00:56:52.159 --> 00:56:55.519
<v Speaker 1>if there's no real relation between the symbols and the

1064
00:56:55.559 --> 00:56:58.239
<v Speaker 1>actual external world. And usually those people just say, well,

1065
00:56:58.280 --> 00:57:00.840
<v Speaker 1>we just can't know, we don't know. Well, okay, but

1066
00:57:00.880 --> 00:57:02.800
<v Speaker 1>that's not a very good argument, just to say, well

1067
00:57:02.800 --> 00:57:05.000
<v Speaker 1>we just don't know. We can't know. So you can

1068
00:57:05.400 --> 00:57:09.000
<v Speaker 1>posit an anti realist position, But well, how does mathematics

1069
00:57:09.039 --> 00:57:11.199
<v Speaker 1>work in the world? Then to build bridges and to

1070
00:57:11.239 --> 00:57:14.239
<v Speaker 1>do all this stuff? How do we discover things like

1071
00:57:14.280 --> 00:57:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Mandelbrot sets, but which are obviously not uh, social constructs,

1072
00:57:19.000 --> 00:57:21.400
<v Speaker 1>they're actually discoveries. So I would say something like a

1073
00:57:21.400 --> 00:57:23.679
<v Speaker 1>mandel brought set refute that idea.

1074
00:57:25.360 --> 00:57:26.440
<v Speaker 3>All right, cool, appreciate it.

1075
00:57:26.679 --> 00:57:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, look up Jason Lyles lecture on Mandelbrot sets, and

1076
00:57:30.440 --> 00:57:32.239
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a really good response to that.

1077
00:57:32.360 --> 00:57:33.960
<v Speaker 2>The type of a position.

1078
00:57:38.679 --> 00:57:46.559
<v Speaker 13>Kenobi, Hey, Jenny, I need a coffee bat and she

1079
00:57:46.599 --> 00:57:47.119
<v Speaker 13>can't hear me?

1080
00:57:48.239 --> 00:57:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Obi wan kenobi, I'm mute.

1081
00:57:51.000 --> 00:57:55.960
<v Speaker 1>You don't need to see identavigation. These are the arguments

1082
00:57:55.960 --> 00:57:56.519
<v Speaker 1>you're looking for.

1083
00:57:57.079 --> 00:57:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Move along, Move along.

1084
00:58:00.440 --> 00:58:02.840
<v Speaker 20>I'm an inquirer into orthodoxy, and there's I mean this.

1085
00:58:03.000 --> 00:58:05.599
<v Speaker 20>I think you've probably answered this before, but I couldn't

1086
00:58:05.599 --> 00:58:08.599
<v Speaker 20>find anything on it. It's a question regarding the church,

1087
00:58:08.800 --> 00:58:11.320
<v Speaker 20>what was the explanation for like, obviously during the Only

1088
00:58:11.400 --> 00:58:14.320
<v Speaker 20>Church there were plenty of heretics and schismatics, and I

1089
00:58:14.320 --> 00:58:19.280
<v Speaker 20>think at some points they made up the lay person majority.

1090
00:58:19.360 --> 00:58:23.199
<v Speaker 20>But what is the explanation for why the counsels and

1091
00:58:23.239 --> 00:58:26.440
<v Speaker 20>the bishops have, like, for example, the better position of

1092
00:58:26.440 --> 00:58:31.159
<v Speaker 20>the spirit in discerning that when like the majority are

1093
00:58:31.199 --> 00:58:32.559
<v Speaker 20>heretical or schismatic, for.

1094
00:58:32.480 --> 00:58:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Example, the majority of the laity or the bishops or

1095
00:58:37.000 --> 00:58:38.199
<v Speaker 1>what do you mean majority of.

1096
00:58:38.159 --> 00:58:39.519
<v Speaker 3>The laity for example?

1097
00:58:39.880 --> 00:58:46.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what's the argument that bishops have more discernment than ladies?

1098
00:58:46.159 --> 00:58:47.679
<v Speaker 2>I was asking, I don't understand the question.

1099
00:58:47.920 --> 00:58:51.199
<v Speaker 20>Yeah, because like for example, I think when during the

1100
00:58:51.199 --> 00:58:53.960
<v Speaker 20>airing crisis, I think it was the majority of them

1101
00:58:54.000 --> 00:58:55.440
<v Speaker 20>that were going towards that.

1102
00:58:55.880 --> 00:58:58.599
<v Speaker 1>Was the majority of the bishops that were not laity.

1103
00:58:58.639 --> 00:58:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't know how many of the laid

1104
00:59:00.039 --> 00:59:02.800
<v Speaker 1>you were Aran, but the majority of the bishops were semiarian.

1105
00:59:04.159 --> 00:59:04.280
<v Speaker 3>Right.

1106
00:59:05.159 --> 00:59:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's why truth is not determined by the majority.

1107
00:59:07.400 --> 00:59:10.239
<v Speaker 1>Truth is determined by the truth. So you can have

1108
00:59:10.280 --> 00:59:12.760
<v Speaker 1>a majority of the church be an error. Correct.

1109
00:59:14.599 --> 00:59:18.639
<v Speaker 20>Then if if the Spirit is guiding the church, what

1110
00:59:18.760 --> 00:59:21.000
<v Speaker 20>is an extension of that situation as basic contract.

1111
00:59:21.599 --> 00:59:23.519
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean there's still human free will, there's still

1112
00:59:23.519 --> 00:59:26.880
<v Speaker 1>the reality of apostasy. And there's other cases where the

1113
00:59:26.920 --> 00:59:30.159
<v Speaker 1>majority or a large portion of the empire fell into

1114
00:59:30.159 --> 00:59:34.679
<v Speaker 1>heresy too, like the Iconic class controversy. So the promise

1115
00:59:34.719 --> 00:59:36.960
<v Speaker 1>of the Spirit is not that all of the bishops

1116
00:59:36.960 --> 00:59:41.360
<v Speaker 1>in any era will be orthodox or will persevere. You

1117
00:59:41.400 --> 00:59:44.880
<v Speaker 1>can always apostatize. In fact, if you read Revelation one

1118
00:59:44.960 --> 00:59:49.880
<v Speaker 1>in two and three, there's warnings to those seven churches,

1119
00:59:49.920 --> 00:59:52.719
<v Speaker 1>for example, that they'll have their lamp stand ripped away

1120
00:59:53.239 --> 00:59:56.639
<v Speaker 1>and God will say I'm done with you. We believe

1121
00:59:56.719 --> 00:59:59.079
<v Speaker 1>that the same thing happened to the Roman Church. God

1122
00:59:59.159 --> 01:00:02.079
<v Speaker 1>warned the Roman Church in Romans eleven through Paul that

1123
01:00:02.159 --> 01:00:04.360
<v Speaker 1>if you get haughty, you'll be cut out of the Covenant.

1124
01:00:04.480 --> 01:00:06.079
<v Speaker 1>We think they were cut out of the Covenant a

1125
01:00:06.079 --> 01:00:08.960
<v Speaker 1>thousand years ago, and that's why they teach such ridiculous,

1126
01:00:09.400 --> 01:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>retarded apostasy today, which all these lunatics still think is Christianity. So, yeah,

1127
01:00:16.079 --> 01:00:18.440
<v Speaker 1>you can have a majority. The promise of the Spirit

1128
01:00:18.480 --> 01:00:20.719
<v Speaker 1>was not that there would always be a majority. It's

1129
01:00:20.800 --> 01:00:23.440
<v Speaker 1>just simply that there will always be faithful bishops.

1130
01:00:25.320 --> 01:00:26.159
<v Speaker 3>Glad, thank you.

1131
01:00:27.199 --> 01:00:27.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1132
01:00:27.440 --> 01:00:30.039
<v Speaker 1>Truth is not determined by a majority, and that's precisely

1133
01:00:30.079 --> 01:00:33.440
<v Speaker 1>why all the idiotic Roman Catholic arguments about numbers doesn't

1134
01:00:33.480 --> 01:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>prove anything numbers.

1135
01:00:35.360 --> 01:01:07.119
<v Speaker 2>Bro Steger curlts unmute, unmute yeoh uh huh.

1136
01:01:06.519 --> 01:01:09.039
<v Speaker 3>I I just wanted to ask you a quick question.

1137
01:01:10.400 --> 01:01:16.239
<v Speaker 21>So I heard a lot of times about this, this

1138
01:01:16.360 --> 01:01:20.400
<v Speaker 21>saying about if God can break the laws of logic.

1139
01:01:20.559 --> 01:01:22.960
<v Speaker 21>I need to understand that, and I don't know if

1140
01:01:23.000 --> 01:01:25.599
<v Speaker 21>that can be a contradiction itself as an argument. I

1141
01:01:25.599 --> 01:01:28.079
<v Speaker 21>don't think it's an argument itself. So I just wanted

1142
01:01:28.079 --> 01:01:28.760
<v Speaker 21>to ask about it.

1143
01:01:29.480 --> 01:01:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I think the laws of logic are features that describe

1144
01:01:34.679 --> 01:01:37.920
<v Speaker 1>the created order. So logic is something that pertains to

1145
01:01:37.960 --> 01:01:41.079
<v Speaker 1>the created order, kind of like math. So there are

1146
01:01:41.079 --> 01:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>reflections of principles in the divine mind. They're not things

1147
01:01:45.039 --> 01:01:48.159
<v Speaker 1>that determine God's essence or nature. So we don't sit

1148
01:01:48.199 --> 01:01:51.519
<v Speaker 1>there and say God is you know, subservient to or

1149
01:01:51.639 --> 01:01:54.440
<v Speaker 1>under the laws of logic. Rather it's the other way around.

1150
01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:57.760
<v Speaker 1>That God exists that becomes the grounding for the laws

1151
01:01:57.760 --> 01:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>of logic. So a lot of people want to put

1152
01:01:59.679 --> 01:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>the before the horse, and they put the thing that

1153
01:02:03.599 --> 01:02:06.719
<v Speaker 1>is grounded in God before God and make God submit

1154
01:02:06.800 --> 01:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>to that. That's what you see in a lot of

1155
01:02:08.079 --> 01:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Roman Catholic argumentation about the divine simplicity or the energies

1156
01:02:12.360 --> 01:02:14.119
<v Speaker 1>or any of that kind of stuff. So we just

1157
01:02:14.400 --> 01:02:15.880
<v Speaker 1>we have it's the other way around.

1158
01:02:17.920 --> 01:02:22.639
<v Speaker 21>So you'd like view it as basically a part of

1159
01:02:22.639 --> 01:02:24.320
<v Speaker 21>the nature of God or something like.

1160
01:02:24.280 --> 01:02:25.760
<v Speaker 1>That, or no, it's a reflection.

1161
01:02:26.039 --> 01:02:26.159
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

1162
01:02:26.639 --> 01:02:30.559
<v Speaker 1>So logic is a feature of the created order that

1163
01:02:30.719 --> 01:02:34.159
<v Speaker 1>is based on the uncreated logi in the mind of God.

1164
01:02:34.280 --> 01:02:37.559
<v Speaker 1>So there's a logie for every principle of logic or

1165
01:02:37.639 --> 01:02:39.639
<v Speaker 1>number or whatever that exists in the mind of God,

1166
01:02:40.119 --> 01:02:43.800
<v Speaker 1>but they're not identical. The low gi are uncreated, but

1167
01:02:44.199 --> 01:02:47.159
<v Speaker 1>logic and these kinds of things are creatures and they're created.

1168
01:02:47.199 --> 01:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>That's what Maximus says, that universals can perish. That's not

1169
01:02:51.039 --> 01:02:54.719
<v Speaker 1>the platonic position played us as universals are the monad,

1170
01:02:54.840 --> 01:02:57.519
<v Speaker 1>they are the one. So it's a different it's a

1171
01:02:57.599 --> 01:03:00.960
<v Speaker 1>non platonic position impossibility.

1172
01:03:01.199 --> 01:03:02.559
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't actually.

1173
01:03:04.519 --> 01:03:08.880
<v Speaker 21>So itself asking that's just self contradict itself, right.

1174
01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:12.119
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, it's kind of a nonsense question. Like, for example,

1175
01:03:12.840 --> 01:03:16.880
<v Speaker 1>if you know what Aristotilians argue or Roman Catholics and

1176
01:03:16.960 --> 01:03:21.559
<v Speaker 1>Thomas argue, if you think about the the LPT, the

1177
01:03:21.599 --> 01:03:25.320
<v Speaker 1>logical problem of the Trinity. When Muslims and Jake and

1178
01:03:25.320 --> 01:03:28.800
<v Speaker 1>people like that use the LPT, they're trying to take

1179
01:03:28.920 --> 01:03:34.360
<v Speaker 1>a principled analytic philosophy or logic or predication and then

1180
01:03:34.480 --> 01:03:38.519
<v Speaker 1>say that the Christian view violates logic and therefore it's

1181
01:03:38.559 --> 01:03:43.719
<v Speaker 1>not true. But it's not understanding that you can't smash

1182
01:03:43.800 --> 01:03:48.119
<v Speaker 1>God into one type of naming or one type of

1183
01:03:48.199 --> 01:03:52.840
<v Speaker 1>descriptor or one type of modern analytical philosophy, because that's

1184
01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:54.760
<v Speaker 1>not the type of being that God is.

1185
01:03:56.239 --> 01:03:57.880
<v Speaker 3>So itself.

1186
01:03:57.880 --> 01:04:01.320
<v Speaker 21>He will have a like another divine level that we

1187
01:04:01.360 --> 01:04:02.519
<v Speaker 21>can encumbrehend him.

1188
01:04:02.519 --> 01:04:06.360
<v Speaker 3>We're trying to bound at the well.

1189
01:04:07.280 --> 01:04:11.320
<v Speaker 1>It's sort of like, Uh, logic and math are like

1190
01:04:12.079 --> 01:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>one of the divine rays that comes from the divine

1191
01:04:15.000 --> 01:04:18.239
<v Speaker 1>mind to us. God has many other things about him

1192
01:04:18.440 --> 01:04:22.159
<v Speaker 1>right that they don't exhaust him and they don't define him.

1193
01:04:22.320 --> 01:04:24.440
<v Speaker 1>It's sort of like if if you saw me over

1194
01:04:24.440 --> 01:04:28.519
<v Speaker 1>here working out math problems, would you think that math

1195
01:04:28.599 --> 01:04:31.599
<v Speaker 1>problems are my essence? No, they would be something that

1196
01:04:31.679 --> 01:04:34.559
<v Speaker 1>is sort of coming out of me or coming from me,

1197
01:04:34.679 --> 01:04:38.719
<v Speaker 1>proceeding from me. So in the same way, God shows

1198
01:04:38.800 --> 01:04:42.039
<v Speaker 1>us things about himself through principles of math and geometry

1199
01:04:42.119 --> 01:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>and order and all that we learn about the harmony

1200
01:04:44.480 --> 01:04:46.400
<v Speaker 1>of the divine mind and the beauty of the divine

1201
01:04:46.440 --> 01:04:48.840
<v Speaker 1>mind and order and all that. But they don't exhaust

1202
01:04:48.920 --> 01:04:54.280
<v Speaker 1>him or define him. Okay, So if you read Dionysius,

1203
01:04:54.320 --> 01:04:56.519
<v Speaker 1>this is the way he speaks of the things that

1204
01:04:56.559 --> 01:05:00.360
<v Speaker 1>come from God, the raised, the emanations, the process. I

1205
01:05:00.360 --> 01:05:02.400
<v Speaker 1>should say not emanations, Okay.

1206
01:05:02.440 --> 01:05:06.480
<v Speaker 21>From when I'm getting from Muslis, is that the question itself.

1207
01:05:06.199 --> 01:05:09.000
<v Speaker 3>Is wrong just to ask it? Is that what you're

1208
01:05:09.079 --> 01:05:09.400
<v Speaker 3>trying to.

1209
01:05:09.400 --> 01:05:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Say, Yeah, I mean you could argue that the question

1210
01:05:13.480 --> 01:05:18.199
<v Speaker 1>is premised on the idea that God is somehow definable

1211
01:05:18.360 --> 01:05:21.079
<v Speaker 1>or exhaustible by created principles.

1212
01:05:21.599 --> 01:05:23.679
<v Speaker 21>Yeah, since they said the mind being, he cannot be

1213
01:05:23.679 --> 01:05:27.000
<v Speaker 21>defined by limited minds, and he's unlimited, so he's not

1214
01:05:27.079 --> 01:05:29.880
<v Speaker 21>bound by by logic itself he.

1215
01:05:29.880 --> 01:05:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Is, it would be violating the apathetic theology of Orthodoxy. Right, So,

1216
01:05:33.880 --> 01:05:37.639
<v Speaker 1>Apathatic theology holds that God in himself, in his essence,

1217
01:05:37.840 --> 01:05:43.239
<v Speaker 1>is unapproachable, unknowable, undefinable, and inexhaustible. It's the via negativa.

1218
01:05:43.840 --> 01:05:46.320
<v Speaker 1>But the way that we know him is by the

1219
01:05:46.440 --> 01:05:48.480
<v Speaker 1>energies that come down to us, as Basil says in

1220
01:05:48.519 --> 01:05:49.159
<v Speaker 1>two thirty four.

1221
01:05:50.519 --> 01:05:54.280
<v Speaker 21>Okay, so I mean, could he manipulate itself? I mean,

1222
01:05:54.400 --> 01:05:55.960
<v Speaker 21>he's an all powerful being.

1223
01:05:56.280 --> 01:05:58.440
<v Speaker 1>All right, we're gonna move on. No, he doesn't manipulate

1224
01:05:58.519 --> 01:06:02.199
<v Speaker 1>himself because he is a being with free will and

1225
01:06:02.239 --> 01:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>in nature that defines who he is and how he acts.

1226
01:06:06.199 --> 01:06:09.800
<v Speaker 1>So God can't change his nature because that would be

1227
01:06:10.519 --> 01:06:14.239
<v Speaker 1>ultimately going against who he himself is. So, for example,

1228
01:06:14.239 --> 01:06:17.320
<v Speaker 1>when Paul says it's impossible for God to lie, Paul

1229
01:06:17.360 --> 01:06:20.440
<v Speaker 1>says that because God's nature and character is holy. He

1230
01:06:20.480 --> 01:06:23.519
<v Speaker 1>can't do evil or bad things, and so what we

1231
01:06:23.639 --> 01:06:26.719
<v Speaker 1>consider possible or impossible is going to be determined by

1232
01:06:26.760 --> 01:06:29.519
<v Speaker 1>our worldview. So a lot of times low tier atheists

1233
01:06:29.519 --> 01:06:33.480
<v Speaker 1>will say, well, to be omnipotent means you can literally

1234
01:06:33.519 --> 01:06:35.920
<v Speaker 1>do anything, and if you can't make yourself not exist,

1235
01:06:35.960 --> 01:06:39.119
<v Speaker 1>then you're not omnipotent. Well, that's not what omnipotent means

1236
01:06:39.119 --> 01:06:41.599
<v Speaker 1>in the Christian paradigm. And all of these words and

1237
01:06:41.679 --> 01:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>terms are going to be determined by the paradigm from

1238
01:06:45.000 --> 01:06:55.480
<v Speaker 1>which they're situated. Vertical view. Hey, Jamie, she's always far

1239
01:06:55.480 --> 01:07:00.079
<v Speaker 1>into the house. You can hear me, I mean, yes.

1240
01:07:01.519 --> 01:07:01.679
<v Speaker 3>Here.

1241
01:07:05.840 --> 01:07:06.239
<v Speaker 2>What's up?

1242
01:07:06.280 --> 01:07:06.440
<v Speaker 22>Man?

1243
01:07:06.480 --> 01:07:08.639
<v Speaker 1>Are you calling me from World War two battlefield?

1244
01:07:09.239 --> 01:07:17.119
<v Speaker 2>What's up the Allies? Allies of it?

1245
01:07:18.079 --> 01:07:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I can't hear anything you're saying. Call back again, Try again, David.

1246
01:07:26.719 --> 01:07:28.159
<v Speaker 2>Do call me from D Day?

1247
01:07:33.599 --> 01:07:33.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

1248
01:07:35.159 --> 01:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Another dude calling me from D Day? What's up?

1249
01:07:37.000 --> 01:07:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Man? Have the Allies landed? What's up here?

1250
01:07:40.519 --> 01:07:41.519
<v Speaker 7>We know what's up?

1251
01:07:42.920 --> 01:07:43.280
<v Speaker 11>Okay.

1252
01:07:43.320 --> 01:07:45.880
<v Speaker 22>So I had a question about the nature of the

1253
01:07:46.039 --> 01:07:51.159
<v Speaker 22>Orthodox normatic authority that I curious speak about a lot, Okay,

1254
01:07:52.039 --> 01:07:55.159
<v Speaker 22>I just wanted to ask how you ended up at

1255
01:07:55.159 --> 01:07:58.679
<v Speaker 22>the conclusion that Eastern the Eastern Orthodox Church is the

1256
01:07:58.800 --> 01:08:03.119
<v Speaker 22>historic ordattorial that we should all be bound to, and.

1257
01:08:03.159 --> 01:08:05.760
<v Speaker 1>By looking at the first thousand years, by looking at

1258
01:08:05.800 --> 01:08:08.480
<v Speaker 1>the first thousand years of Christianity and seeing which church

1259
01:08:08.639 --> 01:08:12.159
<v Speaker 1>matches up to the Church of the first thousand years.

1260
01:08:13.840 --> 01:08:16.960
<v Speaker 22>But doesn't that just end up at being your personal

1261
01:08:17.000 --> 01:08:18.720
<v Speaker 22>interpretation of how that?

1262
01:08:18.960 --> 01:08:21.760
<v Speaker 1>No, that's a that's a category error. So the fact

1263
01:08:21.760 --> 01:08:24.479
<v Speaker 1>that I came to this conclusion does not mean that

1264
01:08:24.520 --> 01:08:27.199
<v Speaker 1>the conclusion is purely subjective. So that's the mistake that

1265
01:08:27.239 --> 01:08:28.399
<v Speaker 1>the first guy they called inmate.

1266
01:08:31.880 --> 01:08:33.159
<v Speaker 2>The fact that we have.

1267
01:08:33.199 --> 01:08:37.159
<v Speaker 1>Interpretations does not mean that everything is a subjective interpretation.

1268
01:08:37.319 --> 01:08:38.319
<v Speaker 1>That's a non sequitor.

1269
01:08:41.560 --> 01:08:42.920
<v Speaker 5>Okay, So yeah, I agree with that.

1270
01:08:43.039 --> 01:08:46.079
<v Speaker 22>Then I found figured out the mistake of the first guy.

1271
01:08:46.119 --> 01:08:48.800
<v Speaker 22>But that's not longer trying to say, hold, I'm trying to.

1272
01:08:49.319 --> 01:08:51.119
<v Speaker 1>Well, that is what you're saying, though you said that,

1273
01:08:51.199 --> 01:08:54.000
<v Speaker 1>you said that if I come to the conclusion that

1274
01:08:54.039 --> 01:08:56.920
<v Speaker 1>the Church of the first thousand years is the Orthodox Church,

1275
01:08:56.960 --> 01:09:01.279
<v Speaker 1>then that's just my interpretation. Everybody has their interpretation, But

1276
01:09:01.279 --> 01:09:03.840
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't mean that the interpretations are purely subjective.

1277
01:09:04.159 --> 01:09:07.720
<v Speaker 22>I mean, no, I'm not saying that I'm just saying that,

1278
01:09:08.119 --> 01:09:09.680
<v Speaker 22>is it there a chance that you could be wrong?

1279
01:09:10.800 --> 01:09:14.359
<v Speaker 1>There is a chance, but that's not what normative authority is.

1280
01:09:14.399 --> 01:09:17.640
<v Speaker 1>So you're confusing normative authority with existential certitude. Those are

1281
01:09:17.640 --> 01:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>two different things. Normative authority means is there any body

1282
01:09:21.000 --> 01:09:23.359
<v Speaker 1>of people who have the authority to bind people to

1283
01:09:23.399 --> 01:09:26.159
<v Speaker 1>an interpretation. That's not the same thing as how do

1284
01:09:26.159 --> 01:09:29.840
<v Speaker 1>we have individual epistemic certitude about a question? Those are

1285
01:09:29.840 --> 01:09:32.560
<v Speaker 1>two different things, and that's why I'm always making this point.

1286
01:09:32.600 --> 01:09:34.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not fussing at you, but a lot of times

1287
01:09:34.760 --> 01:09:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Roman Catholics, for example, confuse these two things and they

1288
01:09:37.880 --> 01:09:41.880
<v Speaker 1>act like the papacy functions somehow as an epistemic principle

1289
01:09:41.920 --> 01:09:42.520
<v Speaker 1>when it doesn't.

1290
01:09:44.560 --> 01:09:46.800
<v Speaker 22>No, I would say that the same objection that I'm

1291
01:09:46.800 --> 01:09:48.920
<v Speaker 22>trying to make would apply to a Roman Catholic as well.

1292
01:09:49.800 --> 01:09:53.560
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, well, but that's not an objection. That's just

1293
01:09:53.600 --> 01:09:57.239
<v Speaker 1>a statement of what the boat that everybody's in. Everybody's

1294
01:09:57.279 --> 01:10:00.520
<v Speaker 1>in the boat of You're gonna have to figure this

1295
01:10:00.600 --> 01:10:02.880
<v Speaker 1>out at an individual level. There's no way out of

1296
01:10:02.880 --> 01:10:05.600
<v Speaker 1>that boat. Even a Roman Catholic has to try to

1297
01:10:05.600 --> 01:10:09.119
<v Speaker 1>figure out, well, which papal documents do I follow which

1298
01:10:09.119 --> 01:10:10.640
<v Speaker 1>ones are the ones that are infallible?

1299
01:10:10.680 --> 01:10:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Which?

1300
01:10:11.119 --> 01:10:12.960
<v Speaker 1>What do I do with Vatican two? What do I

1301
01:10:13.000 --> 01:10:15.239
<v Speaker 1>do with Francis changing the death penalty? I mean, you

1302
01:10:15.279 --> 01:10:17.239
<v Speaker 1>don't escape this in any of these systems.

1303
01:10:18.439 --> 01:10:20.680
<v Speaker 22>Yeah, I am aware that, but I'm not a Roman Catholic.

1304
01:10:20.720 --> 01:10:23.720
<v Speaker 22>I'm a Lutheran, if that makes any difference. But I'm

1305
01:10:23.800 --> 01:10:26.439
<v Speaker 22>just saying that because I've heard you say on debate

1306
01:10:26.600 --> 01:10:29.800
<v Speaker 22>with more evangelical for the stunts that it owens up

1307
01:10:29.800 --> 01:10:32.119
<v Speaker 22>at once personal interpretational discription.

1308
01:10:32.239 --> 01:10:34.960
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, that's what I'm saying. That's that's the normative question.

1309
01:10:35.039 --> 01:10:37.199
<v Speaker 1>That has nothing to do with So your your argument

1310
01:10:37.239 --> 01:10:40.920
<v Speaker 1>is confusing existential certitude with normative authority. They're two totally

1311
01:10:40.960 --> 01:10:46.119
<v Speaker 1>different things. Okay, do you understand why they're two different questions?

1312
01:10:47.560 --> 01:10:51.279
<v Speaker 1>The argument against the Protestant is that Jesus didn't provide

1313
01:10:51.279 --> 01:10:54.079
<v Speaker 1>the Church a historical body of people that can bind

1314
01:10:54.119 --> 01:11:00.000
<v Speaker 1>anyone to an interpretation that's normative authority. Why wouldn't Jesus

1315
01:11:00.119 --> 01:11:00.640
<v Speaker 1>provide that?

1316
01:11:05.159 --> 01:11:07.560
<v Speaker 11>Okay, so I got the confusion.

1317
01:11:07.560 --> 01:11:08.640
<v Speaker 22>I'm going to look into them more.

1318
01:11:08.800 --> 01:11:11.359
<v Speaker 1>That's fine, that's okay, But that's the question that I

1319
01:11:11.359 --> 01:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>would say to a Lutheran or to a Protestant is

1320
01:11:14.560 --> 01:11:16.560
<v Speaker 1>did Jesus not foresee that there would.

1321
01:11:16.319 --> 01:11:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Be squabbles and disputes in the church?

1322
01:11:19.079 --> 01:11:21.720
<v Speaker 1>And he didn't give anybody any authority to bind anybody

1323
01:11:21.720 --> 01:11:24.520
<v Speaker 1>to an interpretation. So it's just up to everybody. It's

1324
01:11:24.800 --> 01:11:29.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, di y, good luck, dude, And then every

1325
01:11:30.039 --> 01:11:35.119
<v Speaker 1>generation has to reinvent the wheel and rehash and restudy

1326
01:11:35.199 --> 01:11:39.600
<v Speaker 1>and prove every controversy, even though like obviously the controversy

1327
01:11:39.640 --> 01:11:41.680
<v Speaker 1>of the Trinity is already settled, right, but if you're

1328
01:11:41.680 --> 01:11:44.479
<v Speaker 1>a Protestant, maybe not. Let's just let's start all over.

1329
01:11:44.560 --> 01:11:47.079
<v Speaker 1>Let's do it all over, because all the councils are wrong.

1330
01:11:47.159 --> 01:11:57.960
<v Speaker 1>They can all be wrong, Tudor. The QR code is

1331
01:11:58.000 --> 01:12:00.840
<v Speaker 1>to uh support me via bit coin, So this is

1332
01:12:00.880 --> 01:12:05.840
<v Speaker 1>a bitcoin while at QR code. For those that are asking, well, hello,

1333
01:12:05.960 --> 01:12:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Christi's reason indeed, what's up?

1334
01:12:09.000 --> 01:12:09.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

1335
01:12:09.359 --> 01:12:10.439
<v Speaker 11>I have a small question.

1336
01:12:10.479 --> 01:12:14.319
<v Speaker 23>Basically I read them and I watched most of the

1337
01:12:14.319 --> 01:12:17.439
<v Speaker 23>stuff in the videos from YouTube and also on your

1338
01:12:17.520 --> 01:12:21.119
<v Speaker 23>website about the translation argument, it's a very orthodox and

1339
01:12:21.159 --> 01:12:24.800
<v Speaker 23>traditional way of basically presenting the arguments for the existence

1340
01:12:24.800 --> 01:12:29.039
<v Speaker 23>of God. I would be curious about basically, like when

1341
01:12:29.079 --> 01:12:31.239
<v Speaker 23>you have a tresidential argument, we reach the point where

1342
01:12:31.239 --> 01:12:33.840
<v Speaker 23>it basically we can prove that there's no logic outside

1343
01:12:33.880 --> 01:12:36.279
<v Speaker 23>of basically like also of God and outside of revelation.

1344
01:12:37.199 --> 01:12:40.720
<v Speaker 23>Now you still have like those old arguments that do

1345
01:12:40.800 --> 01:12:43.680
<v Speaker 23>not work that well, like the like the contingency argument.

1346
01:12:44.359 --> 01:12:47.520
<v Speaker 23>It's pretty much like it's a bunch of arguments from

1347
01:12:47.560 --> 01:12:50.279
<v Speaker 23>the old philosophy that will not really work that well

1348
01:12:50.279 --> 01:12:52.800
<v Speaker 23>because it will generally prove like a generic god essen

1349
01:12:53.000 --> 01:12:54.479
<v Speaker 23>or like energies.

1350
01:12:55.000 --> 01:12:55.199
<v Speaker 2>Well.

1351
01:12:55.239 --> 01:12:59.479
<v Speaker 1>They also they also don't address modern philosophical critiques, posts

1352
01:12:59.520 --> 01:13:02.800
<v Speaker 1>and Lightenment. So if you were to go debate any

1353
01:13:02.960 --> 01:13:07.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, smart atheist like Graham Api or somebody like that,

1354
01:13:07.800 --> 01:13:10.880
<v Speaker 1>and you start arguing from contingency and all these metaphysical

1355
01:13:10.920 --> 01:13:13.039
<v Speaker 1>baggage principles, they're just going to say, well, how do

1356
01:13:13.079 --> 01:13:15.079
<v Speaker 1>you know any of those metaphysical principles or the are

1357
01:13:15.119 --> 01:13:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the case? So they are not addressing the last five

1358
01:13:20.000 --> 01:13:23.039
<v Speaker 1>hundred years of philosophical argumentation. That's another reason why they're

1359
01:13:23.039 --> 01:13:23.880
<v Speaker 1>not very good.

1360
01:13:24.359 --> 01:13:27.399
<v Speaker 23>Yes, and indeed I'm not basically thinking about all that.

1361
01:13:27.439 --> 01:13:29.119
<v Speaker 23>This is like the main question I wanted to ask,

1362
01:13:29.439 --> 01:13:33.840
<v Speaker 23>Can there be basically be like a new transcendental version

1363
01:13:34.000 --> 01:13:35.439
<v Speaker 23>of like the contingency argument.

1364
01:13:36.680 --> 01:13:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you probably could.

1365
01:13:38.600 --> 01:13:41.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you could probably make a transcendental argument for any

1366
01:13:41.479 --> 01:13:46.600
<v Speaker 1>of those classical because the things that classical apologetics uses

1367
01:13:47.279 --> 01:13:52.199
<v Speaker 1>are usually necessary metaphysical principles. So you can take that

1368
01:13:52.279 --> 01:13:55.920
<v Speaker 1>metaphysical principle that's pretty much necessary to a worldview and

1369
01:13:55.960 --> 01:14:00.760
<v Speaker 1>make it a kind of transcendental argument. I'm not I

1370
01:14:00.800 --> 01:14:03.800
<v Speaker 1>haven't thought about the contingency one specifically, but you could

1371
01:14:03.800 --> 01:14:07.199
<v Speaker 1>do it with the causal argument or the teleological argument

1372
01:14:07.239 --> 01:14:09.039
<v Speaker 1>for sure, But I'm sure you could probably come up

1373
01:14:09.079 --> 01:14:14.920
<v Speaker 1>with some way to make necessity and contingency somehow part

1374
01:14:14.920 --> 01:14:15.880
<v Speaker 1>of a tag argument.

1375
01:14:16.840 --> 01:14:19.079
<v Speaker 23>Yeah, so that will be a lot more interesting because

1376
01:14:19.119 --> 01:14:21.800
<v Speaker 23>now that this will be basically not to rely on.

1377
01:14:21.800 --> 01:14:23.640
<v Speaker 11>Like self evidence and things like that.

1378
01:14:23.520 --> 01:14:25.920
<v Speaker 23>That basically are nonsense in modern.

1379
01:14:26.119 --> 01:14:28.439
<v Speaker 3>Philosophy, right because anything is still related.

1380
01:14:28.479 --> 01:14:31.479
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, yeah exactly.

1381
01:14:32.399 --> 01:14:34.000
<v Speaker 23>Oh yeah, so that will be like a good word

1382
01:14:34.000 --> 01:14:36.680
<v Speaker 23>for like modern philosophy and for us sorts of excretions

1383
01:14:36.680 --> 01:14:39.239
<v Speaker 23>to basically like I think we if we can even

1384
01:14:39.319 --> 01:14:42.600
<v Speaker 23>like recycle these arguments for a more like a complete

1385
01:14:42.640 --> 01:14:45.319
<v Speaker 23>description or should we not really do that?

1386
01:14:46.760 --> 01:14:49.600
<v Speaker 1>No, I think there's all kinds of open avenues for

1387
01:14:49.640 --> 01:14:51.920
<v Speaker 1>people to do work in transient arguments.

1388
01:14:52.520 --> 01:14:56.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Absolutely, Okay, thanks a lot for Christi's reason.

1389
01:14:56.920 --> 01:14:59.000
<v Speaker 13>Indeed, thank you good questions. Appreciate that.

1390
01:15:03.840 --> 01:15:07.199
<v Speaker 1>I haven't thought about the contingency necessity principles. But I

1391
01:15:07.199 --> 01:15:13.399
<v Speaker 1>imagine you could somehow argue that you know there must

1392
01:15:13.479 --> 01:15:18.359
<v Speaker 1>be some necessary things, and that if you deny that

1393
01:15:18.439 --> 01:15:21.560
<v Speaker 1>there are some necessary existent things, you would be led

1394
01:15:21.600 --> 01:15:25.720
<v Speaker 1>into some kind of reductio and knowledge will become impossible.

1395
01:15:25.720 --> 01:15:27.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure there's some way to construct that kind of

1396
01:15:27.479 --> 01:15:29.479
<v Speaker 1>an argument vertical view.

1397
01:15:41.560 --> 01:15:42.399
<v Speaker 5>Yes, can you hear me?

1398
01:15:46.359 --> 01:15:55.600
<v Speaker 24>So I'm currently trying to convert to Orthodoxy, and I

1399
01:15:55.640 --> 01:16:01.560
<v Speaker 24>have a family of four and we're all Protestant, and

1400
01:16:02.119 --> 01:16:05.439
<v Speaker 24>I'm kind of fully invested at the moment in helping

1401
01:16:05.479 --> 01:16:10.159
<v Speaker 24>build a church. It's a reforming Baptist church, and I

1402
01:16:10.199 --> 01:16:12.880
<v Speaker 24>really this is more like personal advice. I really don't

1403
01:16:12.880 --> 01:16:14.600
<v Speaker 24>know how to like pull all of them out of

1404
01:16:14.640 --> 01:16:18.560
<v Speaker 24>that and then put them into an Orthodox church, at

1405
01:16:18.640 --> 01:16:20.960
<v Speaker 24>least not in a way that's not harmful.

1406
01:16:23.199 --> 01:16:24.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, how would it be harmful?

1407
01:16:24.439 --> 01:16:25.199
<v Speaker 3>What do you mean?

1408
01:16:26.399 --> 01:16:29.880
<v Speaker 24>Well, I mean, because I had, I would have to

1409
01:16:29.920 --> 01:16:32.479
<v Speaker 24>convince them in the same way that I've been convinced,

1410
01:16:32.840 --> 01:16:35.479
<v Speaker 24>and I think it would be a very uh I

1411
01:16:35.479 --> 01:16:37.880
<v Speaker 24>don't want it to be abrupt, you know what I mean, like, Okay.

1412
01:16:37.640 --> 01:16:39.880
<v Speaker 1>We're well maybe yeah, maybe the right thing to do

1413
01:16:39.960 --> 01:16:42.199
<v Speaker 1>is to ease them into it. I mean, you know

1414
01:16:42.279 --> 01:16:46.800
<v Speaker 1>your family obviously better than anyone else, so you know,

1415
01:16:46.880 --> 01:16:48.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe you need to try to ease them into it.

1416
01:16:49.000 --> 01:16:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I don't know what the wise course

1417
01:16:54.520 --> 01:16:57.079
<v Speaker 1>of action is there. I mean, is your is your wife,

1418
01:16:57.319 --> 01:17:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Like I mean, I would first of all worry about her,

1419
01:17:01.239 --> 01:17:03.880
<v Speaker 1>because she's going to have a lot of influence, you know,

1420
01:17:03.960 --> 01:17:08.840
<v Speaker 1>over your kids and you so would you do you

1421
01:17:08.960 --> 01:17:10.560
<v Speaker 1>do you think she would be receptive or do you

1422
01:17:10.560 --> 01:17:13.600
<v Speaker 1>think she's like very antithetical to something like that.

1423
01:17:14.880 --> 01:17:17.359
<v Speaker 24>Well, I think, well we've already kind of talked about it.

1424
01:17:17.399 --> 01:17:19.720
<v Speaker 24>In her main question, which I really didn't have an

1425
01:17:19.760 --> 01:17:22.600
<v Speaker 24>answer to, is she was like, well, don't aren't we

1426
01:17:22.800 --> 01:17:24.640
<v Speaker 24>already and dwelt with the Holy Spirit?

1427
01:17:24.720 --> 01:17:26.039
<v Speaker 3>Haven't we been baptized?

1428
01:17:26.960 --> 01:17:29.479
<v Speaker 24>And you know, I don't really have an answer to

1429
01:17:29.840 --> 01:17:37.239
<v Speaker 24>tell her like well, look, yeah, no, well.

1430
01:17:35.039 --> 01:17:39.359
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean God, in his grace works in people everywhere,

1431
01:17:39.920 --> 01:17:43.640
<v Speaker 1>and the Holy Spirit is everywhere. But you know, if

1432
01:17:43.640 --> 01:17:46.560
<v Speaker 1>we're faced with these questions of what the true church is.

1433
01:17:47.239 --> 01:17:53.079
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't rest my decision on, you know, some subjective

1434
01:17:53.119 --> 01:17:55.520
<v Speaker 1>event in the past, like well, you know I did,

1435
01:17:55.680 --> 01:17:57.359
<v Speaker 1>you know. I mean, it'd be like thinking, well, I

1436
01:17:57.399 --> 01:17:59.279
<v Speaker 1>said the Sinner's Prayer when I was ten and I

1437
01:17:59.319 --> 01:18:01.840
<v Speaker 1>felt good about it, so you know, I don't need

1438
01:18:01.880 --> 01:18:03.920
<v Speaker 1>to become a reform Baptist. But I mean, imagine I'm

1439
01:18:03.920 --> 01:18:08.000
<v Speaker 1>applying that logic to going from Baptist to reform Baptists. Right, Well,

1440
01:18:08.039 --> 01:18:09.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean, why do I need to go to reform

1441
01:18:09.439 --> 01:18:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Batist church because you know, I prayed and I felt

1442
01:18:11.920 --> 01:18:13.800
<v Speaker 1>the center, you know, the Holy Spirit when I prayed

1443
01:18:13.800 --> 01:18:15.680
<v Speaker 1>the Center's prayer when I was ten. Well, you would

1444
01:18:15.760 --> 01:18:17.560
<v Speaker 1>argue that, well, but that doesn't mean that, you know,

1445
01:18:17.680 --> 01:18:22.119
<v Speaker 1>God's not calling you to you know, something more consistent

1446
01:18:22.319 --> 01:18:26.039
<v Speaker 1>or to a closer, you know, level of relationship. And

1447
01:18:26.119 --> 01:18:29.319
<v Speaker 1>so just apply that same argument now, well you know

1448
01:18:29.319 --> 01:18:29.720
<v Speaker 1>what I mean?

1449
01:18:31.279 --> 01:18:33.479
<v Speaker 24>Yeah, yeah, I mean, I yeah, I get what you're saying.

1450
01:18:33.560 --> 01:18:38.439
<v Speaker 24>I'm good, I guess from I guess her advantage points,

1451
01:18:38.439 --> 01:18:40.520
<v Speaker 24>she's going to be she's going to be turned that

1452
01:18:40.680 --> 01:18:43.399
<v Speaker 24>I'm that I'm losing my mind or something. But I've

1453
01:18:43.680 --> 01:18:45.880
<v Speaker 24>I've been really fully convinced in the last you know,

1454
01:18:45.960 --> 01:18:48.560
<v Speaker 24>six months or so, and I've kind of warmed her

1455
01:18:48.640 --> 01:18:51.920
<v Speaker 24>up to the idea. But I think that she in

1456
01:18:51.960 --> 01:18:54.520
<v Speaker 24>her mind, she's like she thinking, well, I've seen the

1457
01:18:54.640 --> 01:18:59.680
<v Speaker 24>fruit in our lives and our children's lives. Why does

1458
01:18:59.800 --> 01:19:01.960
<v Speaker 24>why is something need to change?

1459
01:19:02.720 --> 01:19:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Well?

1460
01:19:04.279 --> 01:19:09.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean that's a tough, tough point because on

1461
01:19:09.439 --> 01:19:13.880
<v Speaker 1>the one hand, we can't definitively say well, you never

1462
01:19:13.880 --> 01:19:16.119
<v Speaker 1>had the Holy Spirit. But at the same time, it's like, well,

1463
01:19:16.119 --> 01:19:18.279
<v Speaker 1>how do you could phrase it like this, Well, maybe

1464
01:19:18.319 --> 01:19:21.319
<v Speaker 1>the Holy Spirit's leading you to orthodoxy, Like you know

1465
01:19:21.359 --> 01:19:23.800
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, Like, maybe maybe that's the next phase

1466
01:19:23.840 --> 01:19:27.760
<v Speaker 1>of your relationship with God. He wants them more intimate relationship,

1467
01:19:28.000 --> 01:19:32.720
<v Speaker 1>and maybe that's where orthodoxy is. So, I know, it's

1468
01:19:32.720 --> 01:19:35.920
<v Speaker 1>difficult with women because they're usually based it's usually based

1469
01:19:35.960 --> 01:19:39.640
<v Speaker 1>on feelings, and it's based on subjective experience, and it's

1470
01:19:39.640 --> 01:19:44.199
<v Speaker 1>not typically based on objective facts and argumentation and reason

1471
01:19:44.239 --> 01:19:47.159
<v Speaker 1>and logic and history. But I think ultimately the only

1472
01:19:47.159 --> 01:19:49.840
<v Speaker 1>way to be sure of these things is to get

1473
01:19:49.840 --> 01:19:53.720
<v Speaker 1>people into the actual history and the actual teaching. So,

1474
01:19:54.039 --> 01:19:56.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, can you get her into you know, looking

1475
01:19:56.680 --> 01:19:57.359
<v Speaker 1>at the issues.

1476
01:19:59.199 --> 01:20:00.000
<v Speaker 5>I think that I can't.

1477
01:20:00.119 --> 01:20:03.159
<v Speaker 24>And I've already already kind of got her to accept

1478
01:20:03.159 --> 01:20:05.279
<v Speaker 24>the fact that the argument you were just making a

1479
01:20:05.279 --> 01:20:11.199
<v Speaker 24>previous conversation about how you know Christ would Christ would

1480
01:20:11.359 --> 01:20:15.920
<v Speaker 24>preemptively know that these types of squabbles and disputes would happen,

1481
01:20:16.640 --> 01:20:19.159
<v Speaker 24>and that he would want some authority, and she but

1482
01:20:19.279 --> 01:20:19.840
<v Speaker 24>she believes that.

1483
01:20:19.920 --> 01:20:21.840
<v Speaker 3>I think. Think of the point now, it's just like.

1484
01:20:22.359 --> 01:20:26.119
<v Speaker 5>We're like, because we were currently playing the church.

1485
01:20:26.359 --> 01:20:29.600
<v Speaker 1>I understand. I mean, you know, you just maybe God's

1486
01:20:29.640 --> 01:20:32.239
<v Speaker 1>testing you about whether this church planning thing is an idol,

1487
01:20:32.279 --> 01:20:36.399
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, Like maybe maybe if it's

1488
01:20:36.439 --> 01:20:38.000
<v Speaker 1>not the right church, you don't want to plant that.

1489
01:20:38.039 --> 01:20:39.119

01:21:38.000 --> 01:21:41.279

1508

1509

<v Speaker 1>this hat on.

1510
01:21:43.279 --> 01:21:45.920

<v Speaker 1>Anonymous, thank you for helping me through a lot of

1512

01:21:51.159 --> 01:21:52.920
<v Speaker 13>I feel a lot more confident, glorid God.

<v Speaker 13>Anthony?

1518
01:22:18.399 --> 01:22:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Anthony or either yeah right here?

1519
01:22:21.560 --> 01:22:26.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't I'm doing well. So yeah.

1520
01:22:26.640 --> 01:22:30.000
<v Speaker 25>So I've been part of the Church of Christ probably

1521
01:22:30.039 --> 01:22:34.079
<v Speaker 25>since it's been twenty fifteen, and I've always had a

1522
01:22:34.079 --> 01:22:40.239
<v Speaker 25>little bit of I don't know, things are qualms with

1523
01:22:40.239 --> 01:22:43.760
<v Speaker 25>with the church, but not like it. It was like

1524
01:22:44.520 --> 01:22:48.680
<v Speaker 25>little things that just popped up recently where I was

1525
01:22:48.880 --> 01:22:51.760
<v Speaker 25>I had, like a good friend as a Lutheran, and

1526
01:22:51.800 --> 01:22:56.199
<v Speaker 25>he started talking about infant baptism with me, and and

1527
01:22:57.199 --> 01:22:59.640
<v Speaker 25>Church of Christ is not you know, they don't believe

1528
01:22:59.680 --> 01:23:01.520
<v Speaker 25>that or anything like that. So I didn't like the

1529
01:23:01.520 --> 01:23:05.000
<v Speaker 25>way I reacted towards him about it, right, and uh

1530
01:23:05.520 --> 01:23:08.119
<v Speaker 25>so it got me. So I was asking him and

1531
01:23:08.199 --> 01:23:12.199
<v Speaker 25>questioning about it. And then he says that, you know,

1532
01:23:12.239 --> 01:23:14.079
<v Speaker 25>he couldn't find it in the Bible or something like that,

1533
01:23:14.079 --> 01:23:16.560
<v Speaker 25>because in my mind, I'm jumping right to you know,

1534
01:23:16.680 --> 01:23:20.840
<v Speaker 25>Bible alone, and that's what we believe there. And so

1535
01:23:20.840 --> 01:23:22.800
<v Speaker 25>so I went in and I asked him questions like,

1536
01:23:22.840 --> 01:23:25.920
<v Speaker 25>you know, how how early you know, did infant baptism

1537
01:23:26.000 --> 01:23:27.960
<v Speaker 25>happen and all that kind of stuff. But so I

1538
01:23:28.000 --> 01:23:30.600
<v Speaker 25>went looking into it and that just kind of just

1539
01:23:30.720 --> 01:23:34.000
<v Speaker 25>took me down a road where I did not expect

1540
01:23:34.560 --> 01:23:36.399
<v Speaker 25>a lot of things because.

1541
01:23:36.119 --> 01:23:38.199
<v Speaker 3>What what what what I used to what we used

1542
01:23:38.239 --> 01:23:38.439
<v Speaker 3>to do?

1543
01:23:38.479 --> 01:23:42.039
<v Speaker 25>I mean, like whenever anything was brought up about baptism,

1544
01:23:42.079 --> 01:23:45.039
<v Speaker 25>because I think that that's pretty much what the Church

1545
01:23:45.079 --> 01:23:46.319
<v Speaker 25>of Christ kind.

1546
01:23:46.119 --> 01:23:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Of yeah, separate themselves, right.

1547
01:23:49.600 --> 01:23:52.199
<v Speaker 25>He's like that they believe in baptismal regeneration. Okay, Well,

1548
01:23:52.279 --> 01:23:53.920
<v Speaker 25>let's just go to the church fathers, let's go to

1549
01:23:53.960 --> 01:23:55.720
<v Speaker 25>the early church. Let's go what did they say? What

1550
01:23:55.800 --> 01:23:58.319
<v Speaker 25>did they do? And so I had to look at

1551
01:23:58.319 --> 01:24:00.119
<v Speaker 25>that and I had to see where I went to

1552
01:24:00.199 --> 01:24:03.239
<v Speaker 25>him and I said, you're right, like there is evidence

1553
01:24:03.399 --> 01:24:06.000
<v Speaker 25>about this. And then that took me down a whole

1554
01:24:06.000 --> 01:24:08.680
<v Speaker 25>other rabbit hole about sol the scripture. And I didn't

1555
01:24:08.720 --> 01:24:09.960
<v Speaker 25>even really kind of think about that.

1556
01:24:10.199 --> 01:24:11.960
<v Speaker 1>And they also all believe in the real presence in

1557
01:24:12.000 --> 01:24:13.560
<v Speaker 1>the Eucharist too, which you don't.

1558
01:24:14.199 --> 01:24:15.319
<v Speaker 2>Church christ don't believe.

1559
01:24:15.159 --> 01:24:21.039
<v Speaker 25>So, right, So so I know that, you know, you

1560
01:24:21.079 --> 01:24:23.399
<v Speaker 25>know Lutheran's I think about Martin Luther, and I've always

1561
01:24:23.399 --> 01:24:25.560
<v Speaker 25>had a problem. I mean, we Church of Christ, they

1562
01:24:25.560 --> 01:24:28.439
<v Speaker 25>have problems with Martin Luther. Okay, so this is the

1563
01:24:28.439 --> 01:24:31.880
<v Speaker 25>long story. Short is that I again, so looking into

1564
01:24:31.960 --> 01:24:36.680
<v Speaker 25>infant baptism. Looking into that kind of led me into

1565
01:24:38.720 --> 01:24:42.239
<v Speaker 25>what else the it was the intercession of the saints.

1566
01:24:42.279 --> 01:24:48.520
<v Speaker 25>It led me into uh, yeah, the communion. I remember

1567
01:24:48.560 --> 01:24:52.319
<v Speaker 25>I was I someone asked me to, well, the minister

1568
01:24:52.439 --> 01:24:54.640
<v Speaker 25>or whatever we call them in Church Christ I still

1569
01:24:54.640 --> 01:24:58.520
<v Speaker 25>don't know, asked me to do communion. And I went

1570
01:24:59.000 --> 01:25:01.760
<v Speaker 25>into this like weak, long deep dive into it. And

1571
01:25:01.800 --> 01:25:03.640
<v Speaker 25>then I just found all these other little things that

1572
01:25:03.680 --> 01:25:05.560
<v Speaker 25>I wanted to discussed or something like that about it.

1573
01:25:05.640 --> 01:25:08.079
<v Speaker 25>So I just got this really deep understanding about communion

1574
01:25:09.159 --> 01:25:12.600
<v Speaker 25>and and studying about it and then studying about more

1575
01:25:12.640 --> 01:25:15.520
<v Speaker 25>about prayer just because a lot of different things happening

1576
01:25:15.560 --> 01:25:17.520
<v Speaker 25>in my life. And so now I've just gone down

1577
01:25:17.520 --> 01:25:24.640
<v Speaker 25>this complete different road where I'm completely open now to you.

1578
01:25:24.520 --> 01:25:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Know, I have the same thing, the same thing happened

1579
01:25:26.520 --> 01:25:27.359
<v Speaker 1>to me in two thousand and three.

1580
01:25:27.359 --> 01:25:28.560
<v Speaker 2>I totally understand.

1581
01:25:29.119 --> 01:25:32.239
<v Speaker 25>So yeah, so where I'm at right now is I'm

1582
01:25:32.239 --> 01:25:36.079
<v Speaker 25>going to the people in the church. And uh, we

1583
01:25:36.239 --> 01:25:38.479
<v Speaker 25>just we just my wife and I. I have wife

1584
01:25:38.520 --> 01:25:40.880
<v Speaker 25>and two kids, and we just moved here to Arkansas.

1585
01:25:40.920 --> 01:25:43.079
<v Speaker 25>It's been about two years or so, and I've been

1586
01:25:43.079 --> 01:25:47.199
<v Speaker 25>a part of the Church of Christ here and and

1587
01:25:47.319 --> 01:25:50.399
<v Speaker 25>uh and uh.

1588
01:25:50.000 --> 01:25:50.760
<v Speaker 7>Sorry, I'm just.

1589
01:25:52.319 --> 01:25:52.880
<v Speaker 3>What is it.

1590
01:25:55.000 --> 01:25:57.279
<v Speaker 25>Been looking into this? And I didn't like that it

1591
01:25:57.319 --> 01:25:59.439
<v Speaker 25>started out. I didn't like the way I reacted, like

1592
01:25:59.479 --> 01:26:03.319
<v Speaker 25>I'm like, why why am I so like it's it

1593
01:26:03.359 --> 01:26:06.399
<v Speaker 25>seems to be like that reaction you're kind of given,

1594
01:26:06.600 --> 01:26:08.840
<v Speaker 25>like you're you're sort of taught that to be so

1595
01:26:09.000 --> 01:26:14.680
<v Speaker 25>anti Catholic or so anti Orthodox, you're so not even

1596
01:26:14.760 --> 01:26:18.640
<v Speaker 25>wanting to hear anything out and like they just you know,

1597
01:26:19.199 --> 01:26:21.760
<v Speaker 25>we have like certain writers in the Church of Christ

1598
01:26:21.800 --> 01:26:24.680
<v Speaker 25>where you know, they look up you know, it's Bible alone,

1599
01:26:24.720 --> 01:26:25.600
<v Speaker 25>like that's the whole thing.

1600
01:26:25.640 --> 01:26:28.159
<v Speaker 11>But then I remember, I remember.

1601
01:26:28.079 --> 01:26:30.479
<v Speaker 25>In the last couple of years, like when my one

1602
01:26:30.520 --> 01:26:32.600
<v Speaker 25>of my friends was going through a divorce and they

1603
01:26:32.680 --> 01:26:35.600
<v Speaker 25>kind of went outside the Bible to explain certain things.

1604
01:26:35.640 --> 01:26:40.760
<v Speaker 25>Because there's no definite position that any Protestant Evangelical, they

1605
01:26:40.760 --> 01:26:42.479
<v Speaker 25>don't take a position on it or anything.

1606
01:26:42.560 --> 01:26:43.720
<v Speaker 3>It's kind of all over the place.

1607
01:26:44.520 --> 01:26:47.119
<v Speaker 25>So that was kind of strange to me that I

1608
01:26:47.319 --> 01:26:50.039
<v Speaker 25>that we weren't like I thought it was Bible alone,

1609
01:26:50.600 --> 01:26:52.880
<v Speaker 25>you know, so and that was always strange to me

1610
01:26:52.880 --> 01:26:54.800
<v Speaker 25>about that. So anyways, all these other things that just

1611
01:26:54.840 --> 01:26:59.359
<v Speaker 25>came up are now are now I'm questioning and I'm

1612
01:26:59.359 --> 01:27:01.239
<v Speaker 25>bringing it to people, and no one could give me

1613
01:27:01.279 --> 01:27:02.159
<v Speaker 25>an answer for it.

1614
01:27:02.560 --> 01:27:04.319
<v Speaker 7>And and so.

1615
01:27:04.319 --> 01:27:06.840
<v Speaker 25>One of the things that just came up was I

1616
01:27:06.840 --> 01:27:10.520
<v Speaker 25>guess just like suggestions about things to kind of get

1617
01:27:10.560 --> 01:27:13.520
<v Speaker 25>me started. I'm very I'm like, in the beginning of this,

1618
01:27:14.680 --> 01:27:18.399
<v Speaker 25>I had a my wife had a yard sale, and

1619
01:27:18.399 --> 01:27:21.079
<v Speaker 25>a guy from an Orthodox church that's nearby.

1620
01:27:22.119 --> 01:27:23.079
<v Speaker 7>We talked a little bit.

1621
01:27:23.319 --> 01:27:25.600
<v Speaker 25>And this was kind of before I was just like

1622
01:27:25.680 --> 01:27:27.399
<v Speaker 25>right at the beginning where I was just being open

1623
01:27:27.439 --> 01:27:27.920
<v Speaker 25>to it.

1624
01:27:28.840 --> 01:27:30.760
<v Speaker 7>And uh and uh.

1625
01:27:31.319 --> 01:27:34.279
<v Speaker 25>Then he he came like he left an icon of

1626
01:27:34.279 --> 01:27:38.560
<v Speaker 25>a Jesus on my car window or my mailbox and

1627
01:27:38.600 --> 01:27:40.960
<v Speaker 25>he wrote down his number and you know said, you know,

1628
01:27:41.239 --> 01:27:43.479
<v Speaker 25>thought that he had to he felt compelled to like

1629
01:27:43.600 --> 01:27:45.800
<v Speaker 25>reach out to me. And now I've been it's been

1630
01:27:45.840 --> 01:27:47.439
<v Speaker 25>about a few months, and I hadn't really kind of

1631
01:27:47.439 --> 01:27:49.439
<v Speaker 25>get together with him. And now since I've deep dive

1632
01:27:49.479 --> 01:27:51.600
<v Speaker 25>into all this stuff, reading all these different things, all

1633
01:27:51.600 --> 01:27:56.159
<v Speaker 25>my arguments about whether or not we have a normative

1634
01:27:56.199 --> 01:27:58.119
<v Speaker 25>authority you know in the church, like where you know,

1635
01:27:58.319 --> 01:28:00.800
<v Speaker 25>like we have things like that, all these different things

1636
01:28:00.840 --> 01:28:04.479
<v Speaker 25>are just breaking down. Now now I'm just completely I'm unsettled,

1637
01:28:04.520 --> 01:28:06.520
<v Speaker 25>That's what I'm trying to say, and I don't know

1638
01:28:06.560 --> 01:28:09.800
<v Speaker 25>what to kind of like I'm trying to get like

1639
01:28:09.840 --> 01:28:13.880
<v Speaker 25>a really good structure of the church history. I'm going

1640
01:28:13.920 --> 01:28:16.840
<v Speaker 25>to be bringing this to people just to because it

1641
01:28:16.880 --> 01:28:19.399
<v Speaker 25>seems like I'm gonna easing out of the Church Christ

1642
01:28:19.399 --> 01:28:21.199
<v Speaker 25>and taking my family like the guy in the Last

1643
01:28:21.199 --> 01:28:22.239
<v Speaker 25>Caller where he didn't know what.

1644
01:28:22.199 --> 01:28:25.079
<v Speaker 2>To do right, Well, yeah, so I would say start with.

1645
01:28:26.880 --> 01:28:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Something like John Mayandor's book The Orthodox Church. Then I

1646
01:28:31.720 --> 01:28:35.680
<v Speaker 1>would read something like Yaroslav Pelicon's volume one of his

1647
01:28:35.800 --> 01:28:39.199
<v Speaker 1>five volume series, the first one about the emergence of

1648
01:28:39.199 --> 01:28:43.239
<v Speaker 1>the Catholic tradition, because it's just written as an overview

1649
01:28:43.319 --> 01:28:47.199
<v Speaker 1>of the first five centuries of the Church. So those

1650
01:28:47.199 --> 01:28:49.319
<v Speaker 1>two books, they're not too hard to read, would be

1651
01:28:49.359 --> 01:28:53.279
<v Speaker 1>good for you as a Protestant to give you an

1652
01:28:53.319 --> 01:28:56.439
<v Speaker 1>idea of the ideological trek of the early Church and

1653
01:28:56.479 --> 01:28:59.840
<v Speaker 1>the history of the Church and the basic theology. And

1654
01:29:00.119 --> 01:29:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I would move on to something a little more, you know,

1655
01:29:03.600 --> 01:29:06.680
<v Speaker 1>something like athanacious Is on the Incarnation or something like that.

1656
01:29:07.760 --> 01:29:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Those are good places to go. Also, doctor Clark Carlton,

1657
01:29:11.479 --> 01:29:16.439
<v Speaker 1>you could look up his book about Protestant Positions versus

1658
01:29:16.520 --> 01:29:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Orthodox if you want something that's a little more polemical

1659
01:29:18.880 --> 01:29:22.279
<v Speaker 1>and apologetic. So those are places to start. And then yeah,

1660
01:29:22.319 --> 01:29:26.239
<v Speaker 1>continue talking to your Orthodox friend, all right, actully, thank

1661
01:29:26.279 --> 01:29:29.600
<v Speaker 1>you man, Yeah, thank you. Glad to hear your you're

1662
01:29:29.680 --> 01:29:32.199
<v Speaker 1>on that quest. I had this similar thing happened to

1663
01:29:32.239 --> 01:29:36.399
<v Speaker 1>me when I was twenty one or two, and I

1664
01:29:36.439 --> 01:29:39.159
<v Speaker 1>started reading The Church Fathers and realizing Oh, wait a minute,

1665
01:29:39.199 --> 01:29:40.039
<v Speaker 1>they're not Calvinists.

1666
01:29:40.119 --> 01:29:42.000
<v Speaker 13>Uh oh, I started freaking out.

1667
01:29:42.159 --> 01:29:46.840
<v Speaker 1>So good news is, though, you can avoid the ten

1668
01:29:46.960 --> 01:29:51.000
<v Speaker 1>years of Roman Catholic madness that I went into, and

1669
01:29:51.039 --> 01:29:53.399
<v Speaker 1>you can bypass all that nonsense and just go straight

1670
01:29:53.399 --> 01:29:58.560
<v Speaker 1>to orthodox g what's up, ge Glad and reputing one dollar?

1671
01:29:58.600 --> 01:30:00.760
<v Speaker 1>What do you think about the fourth position political theory

1672
01:30:01.720 --> 01:30:06.079
<v Speaker 1>or third position? No, I don't really accept any quasi

1673
01:30:06.079 --> 01:30:09.840
<v Speaker 1>fascist position, so I don't I'm not into fascism. Fourth

1674
01:30:09.880 --> 01:30:14.439
<v Speaker 1>political theory of Dugan is a little too much gnosticism.

1675
01:30:14.479 --> 01:30:16.800
<v Speaker 1>If you read the last chapter in his Fourth Political

1676
01:30:16.800 --> 01:30:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Theory book, it's very influenced by gnostic stuff. I do

1677
01:30:20.880 --> 01:30:24.560
<v Speaker 1>agree with the rejection of capitalism in the sense of

1678
01:30:24.600 --> 01:30:28.439
<v Speaker 1>monopoly capitalism and communism and evolution, so I agree with

1679
01:30:28.520 --> 01:30:31.479
<v Speaker 1>those critiques in the book. I don't know about I

1680
01:30:31.520 --> 01:30:34.159
<v Speaker 1>don't think a fourth position is going to do anything.

1681
01:30:34.199 --> 01:30:37.439
<v Speaker 1>William Die ten dollars, I don't have any answers. So

1682
01:30:37.479 --> 01:30:40.079
<v Speaker 1>it's like, what's your position and solution to the political

1683
01:30:40.079 --> 01:30:40.800
<v Speaker 1>problems with today?

1684
01:30:40.840 --> 01:30:41.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

1685
01:30:41.800 --> 01:30:44.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't know William Dye ten dollars.

1686
01:30:44.479 --> 01:30:45.439
<v Speaker 2>Sam Shimun is.

1687
01:30:45.359 --> 01:30:46.600
<v Speaker 1>The one that led me to orthodoxy.

1688
01:30:46.640 --> 01:30:47.079
<v Speaker 2>That's great.

1689
01:30:47.520 --> 01:30:50.279
<v Speaker 1>Traditional Catholics blood will be boiling because they should know

1690
01:30:50.359 --> 01:30:52.800
<v Speaker 1>that a Catholic told people to go to the Orthodox

1691
01:30:52.880 --> 01:30:55.399
<v Speaker 1>Church for something.

1692
01:30:56.319 --> 01:30:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1693
01:30:56.600 --> 01:31:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, I wasn't saying that Sam Chimun had definitively converted

1694
01:31:00.600 --> 01:31:03.479
<v Speaker 1>to Catholicism. I was saying he was attending a Catholic church.

1695
01:31:03.520 --> 01:31:06.720
<v Speaker 1>That's what he says. So the last time I asked him,

1696
01:31:06.720 --> 01:31:10.520
<v Speaker 1>he said he's still in between, but he believes that

1697
01:31:11.279 --> 01:31:14.000
<v Speaker 1>because the Catholic Church will give him sacraments, he'll go

1698
01:31:14.079 --> 01:31:18.119
<v Speaker 1>there before Orthodox. So that's that's his reasoning. I hope

1699
01:31:18.159 --> 01:31:20.800
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't go Catholic. I think if Sam goes Catholic,

1700
01:31:20.880 --> 01:31:24.159
<v Speaker 1>he'll have a hard time with a lot of these

1701
01:31:24.760 --> 01:31:28.279
<v Speaker 1>years of apologetics against Muslims that he's done, given the

1702
01:31:28.319 --> 01:31:32.159
<v Speaker 1>fact that Vatican two says in two places that Christians, Jews,

1703
01:31:32.159 --> 01:31:34.880
<v Speaker 1>and Muslims all worship the same God. So I don't

1704
01:31:34.920 --> 01:31:38.079
<v Speaker 1>know why anybody would want to go to that. I

1705
01:31:39.159 --> 01:31:42.000
<v Speaker 1>can't fathom why people want. I think people think they're

1706
01:31:42.000 --> 01:31:45.720
<v Speaker 1>going to get something in Catholicism that is just not there.

1707
01:31:46.039 --> 01:31:49.279
<v Speaker 1>It's so they think that Roman Catholicism is this thing

1708
01:31:49.439 --> 01:31:52.479
<v Speaker 1>on paper, and they think it's this glorious thing from

1709
01:31:52.520 --> 01:31:55.279
<v Speaker 1>the Middle Ages. And then when you actually join it

1710
01:31:55.319 --> 01:31:59.600
<v Speaker 1>and you find out that it's Skittle's priests and ecumenical

1711
01:31:59.640 --> 01:32:04.039
<v Speaker 1>service with Muslims and Jews and Hindus. I mean, that's

1712
01:32:04.039 --> 01:32:08.359
<v Speaker 1>the reality. It's not the medieval church. Dude, Wake up,

1713
01:32:08.960 --> 01:32:10.079
<v Speaker 1>stop being dumb.

1714
01:32:12.319 --> 01:32:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Christian.

1715
01:32:13.199 --> 01:32:16.479
<v Speaker 1>They're Adrian one dollar high. Hey, what's up Adrian Christian

1716
01:32:16.640 --> 01:32:17.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty dollars?

1717
01:32:17.880 --> 01:32:18.119
<v Speaker 2>Jay?

1718
01:32:18.119 --> 01:32:21.640
<v Speaker 1>What's the most compelling argument to help a Protestant consider orthodoxy?

1719
01:32:23.600 --> 01:32:25.600
<v Speaker 1>The very thing that we just discussed with this guy

1720
01:32:25.680 --> 01:32:29.119
<v Speaker 1>that the Church of the first thousand years believes in

1721
01:32:29.119 --> 01:32:36.279
<v Speaker 1>apostolic succession, the real presence of Christ, and the Eucharist, vouchism, regeneration, tradition,

1722
01:32:36.520 --> 01:32:41.600
<v Speaker 1>oral tradition, liturgy. I mean, so therefore anything that's not

1723
01:32:41.720 --> 01:32:45.239
<v Speaker 1>that is not authentic. Orkers Entery, It's not that difficult.

1724
01:32:46.479 --> 01:32:48.640
<v Speaker 1>What would you do if you wanted to help convert

1725
01:32:48.680 --> 01:32:51.119
<v Speaker 1>a know it all friend? Well, if I know it all,

1726
01:32:51.159 --> 01:32:53.319
<v Speaker 1>I would cut to the root of the issue and

1727
01:32:53.399 --> 01:32:55.439
<v Speaker 1>just say like, well, how do you know you have

1728
01:32:55.520 --> 01:32:58.920
<v Speaker 1>the right canon? Like, if I'm a Protestant and no

1729
01:32:59.039 --> 01:33:02.960
<v Speaker 1>decisions after the of the Apostles are binding, authoritative, or infallible,

1730
01:33:03.760 --> 01:33:06.520
<v Speaker 1>then it's open season. We can all just come up

1731
01:33:06.560 --> 01:33:08.800
<v Speaker 1>with our own canons, can't. We just study really hard,

1732
01:33:08.840 --> 01:33:12.640
<v Speaker 1>pray really hard, and my canon like Marcian did, right,

1733
01:33:12.720 --> 01:33:15.640
<v Speaker 1>My canon is just gonna be the Book of Jude. Oh,

1734
01:33:15.720 --> 01:33:17.199
<v Speaker 1>trust me, though I prayed about it really hard.

1735
01:33:17.239 --> 01:33:17.960
<v Speaker 2>I study a lot.

1736
01:33:18.079 --> 01:33:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I even learned Greek and Hebrew, and just just trust me, bro,

1737
01:33:23.439 --> 01:33:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Jude is the only legitimate book of the New Testament

1738
01:33:25.920 --> 01:33:26.479
<v Speaker 1>Cannon period.

1739
01:33:26.520 --> 01:33:27.000
<v Speaker 2>That's it.

1740
01:33:28.640 --> 01:33:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Now as a Protestant, how are you gonna tell me

1741
01:33:31.000 --> 01:33:31.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm wrong?

1742
01:33:32.439 --> 01:33:35.239
<v Speaker 2>The church has received all these books of the church.

1743
01:33:35.279 --> 01:33:37.800
<v Speaker 1>What church? There's no such thing as the church, which

1744
01:33:37.840 --> 01:33:41.079
<v Speaker 1>is all the churches and some generic collective. That's a

1745
01:33:41.399 --> 01:33:44.680
<v Speaker 1>fiction that doesn't actually exist. Patricia, five dollars, Thank you

1746
01:33:44.680 --> 01:33:47.600
<v Speaker 1>so much, Jub. Shout up to our time stamp master,

1747
01:33:47.760 --> 01:33:50.840
<v Speaker 1>our buddy, Jub. He says, one hundred dollars. Wow, dude,

1748
01:33:50.840 --> 01:33:53.560
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to send that much. Appreciate that, though.

1749
01:33:53.680 --> 01:33:56.680
<v Speaker 1>When is the next TikTok debate stream? I gotta build

1750
01:33:56.720 --> 01:34:01.279
<v Speaker 1>up the energy for that because it's so intense and crazy.

1751
01:34:03.279 --> 01:34:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Also, are all four.

1752
01:34:04.520 --> 01:34:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Of the Palomite synods considered ecumenical?

1753
01:34:07.920 --> 01:34:08.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

1754
01:34:08.119 --> 01:34:11.279
<v Speaker 1>I think they've attained the status of being authoritative, so

1755
01:34:11.520 --> 01:34:14.039
<v Speaker 1>they're not ecumenical in this sense of like, because there

1756
01:34:14.159 --> 01:34:17.159
<v Speaker 1>was no empire per se anymore. I guess there was.

1757
01:34:17.279 --> 01:34:20.199
<v Speaker 1>Technically it was in Byzantium, but you know, the West

1758
01:34:20.399 --> 01:34:25.439
<v Speaker 1>wasn't really accepting Byzantine synods. So in the classical sense

1759
01:34:25.479 --> 01:34:28.800
<v Speaker 1>of the ocumena, it wouldn't be an ecumenical council. But

1760
01:34:29.159 --> 01:34:32.680
<v Speaker 1>the Palomite Synods are for us the ninth Ecumenical Council.

1761
01:34:32.760 --> 01:34:35.800
<v Speaker 1>So yes, even though it doesn't technically have the term

1762
01:34:35.840 --> 01:34:39.000
<v Speaker 1>ecumenical council, sometimes you will see applied to all of

1763
01:34:39.000 --> 01:34:45.439
<v Speaker 1>the Palomite Synods the term a ninth Ecumenical Council. I'm

1764
01:34:45.479 --> 01:34:48.640
<v Speaker 1>asking because a friend is captivated by scholasticism, Well, your

1765
01:34:48.640 --> 01:34:52.600
<v Speaker 1>friend needs to understand that scholasticism is not a thing

1766
01:34:52.640 --> 01:34:55.039
<v Speaker 1>in Rome anymore. They don't care about that. I mean,

1767
01:34:55.039 --> 01:34:59.079
<v Speaker 1>the Romancalloay Church quit caring about that even before Vatican two.

1768
01:34:59.560 --> 01:35:04.199
<v Speaker 1>So this is something that nerdy twenty year olds are

1769
01:35:04.560 --> 01:35:08.520
<v Speaker 1>spurging out about and having mental master you know what

1770
01:35:08.720 --> 01:35:12.079
<v Speaker 1>session's over, which has nothing to do with reality. So

1771
01:35:12.359 --> 01:35:17.119
<v Speaker 1>maybe tell your friend that he's just LARPing in a circle.

1772
01:35:17.239 --> 01:35:19.560
<v Speaker 1>J r K to the Medieval to the Middle Ages,

1773
01:35:19.600 --> 01:35:23.600
<v Speaker 1>which doesn't exist. Michael Jarron five dollars. Why aren't you

1774
01:35:23.600 --> 01:35:26.560
<v Speaker 1>an Orthodox priest? Why would I be an Orthodox priest.

1775
01:35:27.039 --> 01:35:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I've never had any interest in being a priest or

1776
01:35:29.840 --> 01:35:35.680
<v Speaker 1>any kind of minister. I quite content being an Internet goofball,

1777
01:35:36.359 --> 01:35:40.000
<v Speaker 1>so I will forever be an Internet goall goofball hopefully.

<v Speaker 1>Hey man, what are what are the teaps for the

01:35:47.640 --> 01:35:49.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm so fat I can't see me tolds.

1782
01:35:51.279 --> 01:35:54.319
<v Speaker 1>Instead of doing prostrations, roll down a hill and every

1783
01:35:54.399 --> 01:35:57.880
<v Speaker 1>time you roll over, do some different prayer. Armani Joones

1784
01:35:57.920 --> 01:36:01.920
<v Speaker 1>three dollars. Black people go to heaven if the Ethiopian

1785
01:36:02.039 --> 01:36:06.319
<v Speaker 1>Orthodox Church isn't schis them. I've never even seen a

1786
01:36:06.319 --> 01:36:09.479
<v Speaker 1>minority at a Russian Orthodox church. We have black people

1787
01:36:09.520 --> 01:36:14.439
<v Speaker 1>come to our church. So but also, I mean, I

1788
01:36:14.479 --> 01:36:19.239
<v Speaker 1>don't damn the entire collective group of people because I

1789
01:36:19.279 --> 01:36:24.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know people's destinies. No, we're not told this, so

1790
01:36:24.920 --> 01:36:25.960
<v Speaker 1>that's a bizarre question.

1791
01:36:31.279 --> 01:36:31.920
<v Speaker 2>G Are you there?

1792
01:36:31.960 --> 01:36:32.399
<v Speaker 3>Did you want to go?

1793
01:36:32.439 --> 01:36:34.319
<v Speaker 1>I gotta I gotta interview, so I gotta go soon.

1794
01:36:34.399 --> 01:36:35.960
<v Speaker 2>But I'll try to do as me as I can.

1795
01:36:36.520 --> 01:36:37.479
<v Speaker 5>Hello, he look, can you hear me?

1796
01:36:37.479 --> 01:36:41.279
<v Speaker 11>All right? Okay, yeah, quick question.

1797
01:36:41.199 --> 01:36:44.399
<v Speaker 26>Just trying to wrap my mind around the trinity stuff

1798
01:36:45.720 --> 01:36:47.079
<v Speaker 26>in the co equal part.

1799
01:36:47.439 --> 01:36:48.760
<v Speaker 11>What is it that that's getting at?

1800
01:36:48.800 --> 01:36:49.840
<v Speaker 7>What is it that that means?

1801
01:36:50.520 --> 01:36:52.760
<v Speaker 1>It means they all three share the same nature. They're

1802
01:36:52.760 --> 01:36:53.600
<v Speaker 1>equal in nature.

1803
01:36:54.880 --> 01:36:56.520
<v Speaker 5>Okay, all right, that clears up all out.

1804
01:36:56.520 --> 01:36:57.680
<v Speaker 3>Actually, so they're.

1805
01:36:57.640 --> 01:37:02.119
<v Speaker 1>They're distinct in person, but equal in nature, because I mean.

1806
01:37:02.039 --> 01:37:03.680
<v Speaker 7>At first, I mean just coequal.

1807
01:37:04.119 --> 01:37:07.439
<v Speaker 26>I thought it uh ontologically first, and I mean.

1808
01:37:07.960 --> 01:37:11.479
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, I mean ontologically meaning that they have the

1809
01:37:11.520 --> 01:37:12.079
<v Speaker 1>same nature.

1810
01:37:12.159 --> 01:37:14.039
<v Speaker 5>Yes, okay, but.

1811
01:37:14.079 --> 01:37:18.039
<v Speaker 26>Not in terms of like like Jesus, let's say the

1812
01:37:18.079 --> 01:37:20.560
<v Speaker 26>son and the Father are not the same thing per se, right,

1813
01:37:20.600 --> 01:37:22.199
<v Speaker 26>ontologically saying like, now.

1814
01:37:22.119 --> 01:37:28.840
<v Speaker 1>They're distinct persons, but they're united in nature essence. All right,

1815
01:37:28.960 --> 01:37:33.399
<v Speaker 1>So like two different human beings, they're two different persons,

1816
01:37:33.479 --> 01:37:38.520
<v Speaker 1>but they share the same human nature. Okay, that's an analogy.

1817
01:37:39.760 --> 01:37:43.439
<v Speaker 26>And would you say, like what it is that Off

1818
01:37:43.479 --> 01:37:45.800
<v Speaker 26>the top of my head, I think John seventeen, I

1819
01:37:45.840 --> 01:37:48.439
<v Speaker 26>think twenty through verse twenty through twenty three, where it

1820
01:37:48.439 --> 01:37:54.199
<v Speaker 26>says like well this paraphrasing obviously that you whoever he's

1821
01:37:54.199 --> 01:37:57.800
<v Speaker 26>speaking to can become one with God. Like I have

1822
01:37:58.000 --> 01:38:01.800
<v Speaker 26>paraphrasing very hard. What is that because when I think

1823
01:38:01.840 --> 01:38:03.520
<v Speaker 26>about the coequal part, this is kind.

1824
01:38:03.359 --> 01:38:03.680
<v Speaker 11>Of the birth.

1825
01:38:04.359 --> 01:38:04.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1826
01:38:04.560 --> 01:38:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, we become sons of God by grace, not

1827
01:38:07.720 --> 01:38:10.640
<v Speaker 1>by nature. Jesus is the second person of the Godhead,

1828
01:38:10.680 --> 01:38:13.119
<v Speaker 1>so he is the son of God eternally generated from

1829
01:38:13.159 --> 01:38:16.840
<v Speaker 1>the Father, from the Father's nature. So we never become

1830
01:38:16.920 --> 01:38:19.680
<v Speaker 1>the nature of God, but we do participate in the

1831
01:38:19.720 --> 01:38:22.279
<v Speaker 1>grace of God or the uncreated energy of God. That's

1832
01:38:22.279 --> 01:38:22.920
<v Speaker 1>what that means.

1833
01:38:24.479 --> 01:38:27.479
<v Speaker 26>Okay, man, I got a couple other questions.

1834
01:38:27.520 --> 01:38:29.119
<v Speaker 5>Man, but I mean, it's raining over here pretty bad.

1835
01:38:29.119 --> 01:38:31.520
<v Speaker 5>But I appreciate you. I understand a little bit more now.

1836
01:38:31.920 --> 01:38:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, good questions. Appreciate that. I got a couple of

1837

01:39:08.560 --> 01:39:10.680
<v Speaker 2>What's up, man, hey man?

1848
01:39:10.760 --> 01:39:13.760
<v Speaker 19>I was wondering if you could recommend the two books

1849
01:39:13.840 --> 01:39:18.399
<v Speaker 19>one for the on the First Council of Constantople and

1850
01:39:19.119 --> 01:39:20.000
<v Speaker 19>the Seventh Council.

1851
01:39:24.359 --> 01:39:27.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if a specific book just on Constantinople one.

1852
01:39:27.960 --> 01:39:30.479
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there could be some academic text out on

1853
01:39:30.520 --> 01:39:35.319
<v Speaker 1>that that I'm not aware of. I mean, usually, you know,

1854
01:39:35.399 --> 01:39:38.279
<v Speaker 1>any book that kind of covers the seven ecumenical councils

1855
01:39:38.319 --> 01:39:42.600
<v Speaker 1>will touch on the emphasis in each of them. So

1856
01:39:42.760 --> 01:39:46.079
<v Speaker 1>like Pelican's book, Volume one is going to cover all

1857
01:39:46.119 --> 01:39:49.640
<v Speaker 1>of those general ideas. But I think only recently. I

1858
01:39:49.640 --> 01:39:51.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know if Price has done Richard Price has done

1859
01:39:52.399 --> 01:39:56.159
<v Speaker 1>Constantinople one or not. Maybe he did, But I would

1860
01:39:56.199 --> 01:39:58.119
<v Speaker 1>just read like a general overview of it, like what

1861
01:39:58.560 --> 01:39:59.920
<v Speaker 1>specifically are you looking for?

1862
01:40:01.760 --> 01:40:01.920
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

1863
01:40:03.000 --> 01:40:06.720
<v Speaker 11>More like how the Trinity came in?

1864
01:40:07.840 --> 01:40:08.039
<v Speaker 3>Oh.

1865
01:40:08.119 --> 01:40:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I would say, well, you could read doctor go go

1866
01:40:10.760 --> 01:40:15.000
<v Speaker 1>listen to uh doctor Branson's lectures on the Cappa doceans

1867
01:40:15.000 --> 01:40:17.479
<v Speaker 1>because a lot of his lectures deal with conceptinoble one.

1868
01:40:17.560 --> 01:40:20.520
<v Speaker 1>So doctor bo Branson has a five lectures. I think

1869
01:40:20.560 --> 01:40:23.760
<v Speaker 1>at his website plenty of interviews on YouTube, that would

1870
01:40:23.760 --> 01:40:25.840
<v Speaker 1>be a good place to go to. His dissertation is

1871
01:40:25.880 --> 01:40:28.640
<v Speaker 1>on the cap of Doceans, but uh, I don't know.

1872
01:40:28.680 --> 01:40:29.920
<v Speaker 1>That might be a little too technical.

1873
01:40:29.920 --> 01:40:33.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, all right. And then on the seventh

1874
01:40:33.800 --> 01:40:36.239
<v Speaker 3>Community for the Icons.

1875
01:40:36.119 --> 01:40:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would read, uh, the Alspinsky Lost Key book

1876
01:40:41.960 --> 01:40:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Theology Icon Volume one, and then Theodore the Studit's book

1877
01:40:46.079 --> 01:40:49.920
<v Speaker 1>on the Holy Icons, and John Demascus is. These are

1878
01:40:50.000 --> 01:40:53.000
<v Speaker 1>fairly short books. John Demascus is Defense of the Holy Images.

1879
01:40:54.439 --> 01:40:59.399
<v Speaker 1>All right, yeah, man, thank you? Xander. What's up?

1880
01:40:59.439 --> 01:41:03.239
<v Speaker 13>We've got people from Buffy the Vampire Slayer joining us today.

1881
01:41:03.239 --> 01:41:03.960
<v Speaker 1>What's up, Xander?

1882
01:41:07.000 --> 01:41:07.239
<v Speaker 3>Jay?

1883
01:41:07.279 --> 01:41:09.119
<v Speaker 2>What's going on the what's on your mind?

1884
01:41:10.720 --> 01:41:11.279
<v Speaker 3>Well, dude, my.

1885
01:41:11.239 --> 01:41:13.640
<v Speaker 19>Voice was shot, so if it's annoying, I was torn

1886
01:41:13.680 --> 01:41:15.520
<v Speaker 19>between coming up here, So sorry about that.

1887
01:41:16.800 --> 01:41:17.640
<v Speaker 5>I was talking throughout.

1888
01:41:18.520 --> 01:41:20.399
<v Speaker 19>I think I know the answer now having listened to you.

1889
01:41:20.479 --> 01:41:21.560
<v Speaker 5>But e Michael.

1890
01:41:21.359 --> 01:41:24.760
<v Speaker 3>Jones and his writings on the logos, what are your

1891
01:41:24.800 --> 01:41:25.439
<v Speaker 3>thoughts on that?

1892
01:41:25.520 --> 01:41:29.600
<v Speaker 19>And I was curious too, like Greek philosophy and how

1893
01:41:29.800 --> 01:41:32.119
<v Speaker 19>operative you think that is in Christianity?

1894
01:41:33.239 --> 01:41:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I wrote.

1895
01:41:33.840 --> 01:41:37.279
<v Speaker 1>I wrote an essay on this called logos and wisdom,

1896
01:41:37.439 --> 01:41:40.479
<v Speaker 1>and I ever since I heard him first talk about this,

1897
01:41:40.600 --> 01:41:42.319
<v Speaker 1>I've always thought he was wrong, so I never read

1898
01:41:42.319 --> 01:41:45.399
<v Speaker 1>his stuff on it because logos is not a pagan

1899
01:41:45.439 --> 01:41:49.760
<v Speaker 1>philosophical principle. John is pulling from the wisdom texts of

1900
01:41:50.000 --> 01:41:54.319
<v Speaker 1>Solomon and Proverbs, so it's not coming from Plato. He's

1901
01:41:54.359 --> 01:41:57.960
<v Speaker 1>probably trying to appeal to people in the Greek and

1902
01:41:58.079 --> 01:42:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Roman world by but it's not Logos is the second

1903
01:42:02.880 --> 01:42:05.520
<v Speaker 1>person of the Godhead, and John one, it's not the

1904
01:42:05.560 --> 01:42:08.399
<v Speaker 1>same thing as Marcus Aurelius as Logos.

1905
01:42:08.560 --> 01:42:09.359
<v Speaker 3>I think. Gotcha?

1906
01:42:10.680 --> 01:42:13.960
<v Speaker 19>And then what what are your thoughts on gnocissism and kabala?

1907
01:42:14.399 --> 01:42:17.760
<v Speaker 19>And I'm curious about Eastern religions.

1908
01:42:17.199 --> 01:42:20.319
<v Speaker 1>Have I mean, I just did multiple lectures on kabbala

1909
01:42:20.319 --> 01:42:23.239
<v Speaker 1>and narcissism the last two weeks, so you could find

1910
01:42:23.359 --> 01:42:26.920
<v Speaker 1>uh several of those. And I'm not being a dickhead.

1911
01:42:26.960 --> 01:42:30.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying, like literally just covered that like multiple

1912
01:42:30.199 --> 01:42:31.359
<v Speaker 1>times in the last few weeks.

1913
01:42:32.560 --> 01:42:36.239
<v Speaker 3>Gotcha. And then like Christian Europe, like the kids.

1914
01:42:36.079 --> 01:42:38.279
<v Speaker 19>Would call it base like throughout its history, like it

1915
01:42:38.319 --> 01:42:42.439
<v Speaker 19>was patriarchal, it was a warring, you know, it was

1916
01:42:43.000 --> 01:42:46.439
<v Speaker 19>it was a masculine ethic compared to now, like modern

1917
01:42:46.479 --> 01:42:48.720
<v Speaker 19>Christianity is pretty defanged and neutered.

1918
01:42:49.239 --> 01:42:51.159
<v Speaker 1>What would you at, Well, most of what you're talking

1919
01:42:51.159 --> 01:42:53.279
<v Speaker 1>about is just not even Christianity. It's all a bunch

1920
01:42:53.319 --> 01:42:57.039
<v Speaker 1>of sex and cults and heretics. So I mean, I

1921
01:42:57.039 --> 01:42:58.920
<v Speaker 1>don't wait, we don't recognize any of that stuff as

1922
01:42:58.960 --> 01:43:02.960
<v Speaker 1>even Christianity. It's a bunch of clown clown church clown show.

1923
01:43:03.640 --> 01:43:04.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, well that brings me.

1924
01:43:04.960 --> 01:43:07.039
<v Speaker 19>I posted in the comments that do you know brother

1925
01:43:07.119 --> 01:43:07.920
<v Speaker 19>Peter Diamond.

1926
01:43:08.520 --> 01:43:11.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know them, but I know of that could Yeah.

1927
01:43:11.960 --> 01:43:13.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're they're wild guys.

1928
01:43:13.760 --> 01:43:16.880
<v Speaker 1>But I posted so, yeah, people should read the set

1929
01:43:16.880 --> 01:43:20.800
<v Speaker 1>of a Conscious Delusion by John Pontrello because he is

1930
01:43:20.840 --> 01:43:23.640
<v Speaker 1>somebody that we helped to become orthodox out of the

1931
01:43:23.640 --> 01:43:24.640
<v Speaker 1>set of a Conscius world.

1932
01:43:25.600 --> 01:43:29.920
<v Speaker 19>Okay, well, that he's a sharp chat like. I mean,

1933
01:43:30.039 --> 01:43:32.239
<v Speaker 19>I'm pretty new to you. I've only been following you for.

1934
01:43:32.119 --> 01:43:35.239
<v Speaker 3>Like a month. But he put a really good argument together.

1935
01:43:35.279 --> 01:43:36.640
<v Speaker 3>Obviously I don't know so much, but.

1936
01:43:38.680 --> 01:43:40.960
<v Speaker 19>Is there a good argument to like? Actually, he made

1937
01:43:41.000 --> 01:43:43.960
<v Speaker 19>seven points. He said canon law states that manifest and

1938
01:43:44.079 --> 01:43:47.279
<v Speaker 19>notorious heresy facto exchange.

1939
01:43:47.399 --> 01:43:50.159
<v Speaker 1>So John John Pontrello's book is written against all of

1940
01:43:50.159 --> 01:43:53.279
<v Speaker 1>those arguments, and I did a three hour live stream

1941
01:43:53.319 --> 01:43:55.760
<v Speaker 1>addressing all of those arguments, so you can look up

1942
01:43:55.760 --> 01:43:58.359
<v Speaker 1>how set of a contess improves orthodox theology if you're

1943
01:43:58.359 --> 01:44:00.760
<v Speaker 1>interested in in my response that suff.

<v Speaker 1>J forty four Life J forty four l f E.

1946
01:44:13.840 --> 01:44:15.319
<v Speaker 1>All right, I think we're gonna have to end it

1947
01:44:15.319 --> 01:44:18.079
<v Speaker 1>because I gotta go do somebody's podcast. But remember to

1948

1952
01:44:31.279 --> 01:44:33.359
<v Speaker 1>was just it just takes forever to write a book.

1953
01:44:35.119 --> 01:44:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, it's a lot of work. But be patient.

1954
01:44:38.039 --> 01:44:40.000
<v Speaker 1>That's why I haven't done a whole lot of part

1955
01:44:40.039 --> 01:44:42.880
<v Speaker 1>twos and talks for subscribers and all that. I'll try

1957
01:44:44.359 --> 01:44:47.039
<v Speaker 1>couple of days. I'm just really trying to hammer away

1958
01:44:47.039 --> 01:44:49.720
<v Speaker 1>at the book. But thank you guys so much and

1959

1965
01:45:09.000 --> 01:45:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Wilson, historian debate courses would be involved in that.

1966
01:45:12.439 --> 01:45:14.640
<v Speaker 1>He asked me to help with that, and I said

1967
01:45:14.640 --> 01:45:17.439
<v Speaker 1>I would be able to, but the initial day that

1968
01:45:17.479 --> 01:45:20.479
<v Speaker 1>he asked, I wasn't able to go do it. But

1969
01:45:20.640 --> 01:45:22.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe down the road, I think we'll be trying to

1970
01:45:22.880 --> 01:45:25.800
<v Speaker 1>do some more stuff like that. But yeah, I'm always

1971

01:45:27.920 --> 01:45:38.560
<v Speaker 1>a good day.
