Picking up where we left off on the last defense of theology and philosophy stream, I return to questions of apologetic method, the ontological status of numbers, logic and other invariant conceptual entities, the nature of metaphysics and transcendental arguments, the relationship of historical philosophy to dialectics and why dialectics must be avoided. We will also discuss revelation in Scripture in terms of the epistemic authority, the circularity of foundational truth claims at a fundamental level, as well as your questions. How do numbers prove God?


One of the creeping heresies of our day is the issue of Marcionism, which tends to be either overlooked or subtly promoted across theological lines, from Protestants to Catholics to so-called “Orthodox.” The heresiarch Marcion is the father of pitting Paul and his supposed gnostic writings against the “mean God” of the Law and Prophets. This talk will also be relevant to the countless gnostics and Neo-pagans who constantly challenge my work. I’ll also be taking superhchat Q n A about objections and apparent contradictions.


The newly printed work of Vladimir Lossky from 1930 vindicates all the strong positions I have taken the last several years. In this discussion, we will cover the first half of the book in my review and analysis, while the second half will be available to JaysAnalysis subscribers.


The writings of St Dionysius the Areopagite are some of the most famous and controversial in the history of theology and philosophy. However, most forget to dissect the actual text itself, being caught up in the debates about authenticity. In this talk we look at the treatise titled The Divine Names and uncover how it’s possible to speak of God, what is apophatic theology, how did St Dionysius speak of logoi, the energies of God in Dionysius and much more! Full talks are available by subscribing at the purchase membership page.

“When God was conversing with Moses, He did not say, “I am the essence”, but “I am the One Who is.” Thus it is not the One Who is who derives from the essence, but essence which derives from Him, for it is He who contains all being in Himself.” -St. Gregory Palamas, Triads in Defense of the Holy Hesychasts, III.ii.12

Continuing with the minor prophets, we examine the texts of Amos and Micah and their relationship to the Apocalypse, the Olivet Discourse and the general pattern of redemptive history. Full talks and interviews ad-free can be obtained by subscribing to JaysAnalysis at the PayPal links.

“1 In the beginning was the Word (Logos), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.”

A reader / listener sent me a list of basic questions for those new to or enquiring about Orthodox theology. I am not any official theologian or spokesperson, but I have seen enough over the last decade to identify frauds. In this video we discuss ecumenism, liberalism, Roman Catholic teaching and church – state relations.
