Matt Chats invited me back for a brief segment to discuss the history of church and state and how this relates to legal theory and canon law. We touch on transcendental arguments and Byzantium and church history.
We often hear the same objections to TAG based on similar mistakes. A year ago I did a specific stream presenting TAG and why it holds up against TANG found here. I covered the supposed transcendental argument for the non-existence of God, but we saw this was based on a fallacious understanding of theological voluntarism. Today we will cover more common and simpler objections to TAG which are usually based on misunderstandings, fallacies and basic blunders.
As is the case with discord the sound is not always reliable. We did the best we could but this “debate” was more of a debacle. Enjoy!

In this lecture, I cover the many notes from the classic scholarly work from Jaroslav Pelikan, Emergence of the Cath0lic Tradition, vol. 1. Pelikan’s history of the development of ideas is a standard work for historical theology and provides an excellent introduction to the first 6 centuries of the Chrlstian Church, the major heresies, the Creed and Trinity, Nicaea and more! The second half is for paid subscribers to JaysAnalysis.
Snek joins me to discuss the nature of iconoclasm and its gnostic roots. Man, made in the image and likeness of God, is a little icon of the Triad, say St. Maximos and St. Gregory Palamas. Iconography is thus a natural outworking of the incarnational principle. The sanctification of matter is part and parcel of the Word becoming flesh. Live at 5PM CST
The book of Isaiah is often called the 5th Gospel, and for good reason: Isaiah reveals more about the coming Messiah than any of the other major prophets, including details on His arrival, signs of His appearance, His birth, deity, death, the general resurrection, the conversion of the gentile nations to worship the true God, and much more!
