Since no one seemed hip to debate of late in discord, I will be doing a live chill and chat stream on responses to common and high brow objections. We will be replying to both common claims and attacks, questions and supposed contradictions and more. Superchats are definite read – while normal chat questions may or may not be read. Live at 430 PM EST
Fr.Dcn. Ananias Sorem returns to cover the relationship between Jerusalem and Athens – revelation and reason. Firstly, they are and aren’t in tension – and we’ll see how. Secondly, terms and words are not synonymous – there may be overlap at times, but the meanings of the words are unique in Orthodox theology. Second, we want to look at the Amazon synod, the relationship to Vatican II and perennialism and true and false ecumenism.
The debate was missing from the new site, so I decided to restore it. Enjoy! Orthodoxy Versus Roman Catholicism. Jay Dyer of JaysAnalysis debates Nick Fuentes of America First Media.
The law and prophets are often typological presentations of the coming Messiah. In the NT Jesus explained the law of Moses and the prophets and Psalms were full of references to Him and that the entirety of those texts was about Him. In other talks I highlighted the Theophanies in the OT who are none other than the Logos, the Second Person. The appearances to Elijah and the symbolism in these texts are often overlooked as prophetic types that attest to inspiration.
Erick Ybarra attempted a response on canon 6 of Nicea and was so confused in his attempt to explain it away, I offered to hop on and debate it and the paradigms of Roman Catholic epistemology and Orthodoxy. The canonical and conciliar traditions about Rome as the first see grew, over many centuries, to be viewed as a magical divine super power. It’s that simple. RCs mistake and misuse canonical privileges for Divine Law and Institution. That is basically the entire debate – Bartholomew is doing this now.
Michael Lofton asks Jay about essence and energies, created and uncreated grace, authority in Orthodoxy, Gregory Palamas, Maximus the Confessor, among many other related topics!
