Debater and apologist Sam Shamoun joins me to discuss his ideas and approach to debates in regard to Islamic thought and apologetics, as well as our understandings of how to argue and demonstrate the deity of Christ and the many prophecies of who Jesus is in the law and prophets. Friday at 5PM CST
Michael Witcoff spoke with me last year about his book On the Masons and Their Lies, and last week we discussed the nature of transcendental arguments and presuppositionalism in relation to Orthodox theology and St. Maximos the Confessor’s doctrine of Logos/logoi. Tonight Michael rejoins me to discuss Lucifer, spiritual warfare, cults and secret societies, demonology and more!
Our frend Michael Witcoff speaks to me and Fr. Dcn Dr Ananias on his podcast concerning our new project on Orthodox apologetics and argumentation and how to integrate transcendental arguments in a coherent way. We cover apologetic methodology, the chapters we have complete so far, the projected audiences, how we look at Thomistic philosophy and theology and its (inadequate) apologetic, and why the transcendental argument for God is much more biblical, patristic and philosophically sound.
We hope that this series was helpful in shining some detailed and critical light on the matter of church closures, particularly in the various Eastern Orthodox Christian national churches in the United States and around the world. We looked at the historical precedents in Christianity that show the Church trying tirelessly to help her people.
We often miss the cosmic scope of our battle being the entire history of mankind and his destiny as bound up with those of the angelic hosts and their primeval choice, for God or for evil. Likewise, we must also engage in that cosmic spiritual battle to find our true covenantal telos!
The eminent Orthodox scholar and professor Dr. David Bradshaw, author of the well-known book Aristotle: East and West joins me and Lewis and Fr. Dcn Dr. Ananias to discuss all the hot topics – Aristotle and his different use in East and West, the Orthodox fathers and philosophy, the essence – energy distinction in Aristotle and beyond, the Logos and the Logoi, the western conception of simplicity in Aquinas and Roman Dogma, natural theology, and the critics.
Today we will cover the comparison of natural theology in the fathers, how this is not identical to Aquinas, what the analogia entis is and how it compares to the Protestant analogia fidei. We will cover Fr Dcn’s paper and some of my paper, which will be sections in our forthcoming book.
#logos #philosophy #atheism James Higgins asked me on to discuss the transcendental argument and my previous debates. We assess the Matt Dillahunty debate, the Stefan debate and more, as well as discussing logic, metalogical claims and the notion of energies and the Trinity, as well as my analyses of Hollywood films.
