Ancient Lost Wisdom, Lost Books Part 3 – Jay Dyer (Half)

I return to the lost and forgotten book of Sirach, the phenomenal book of the Deuterocanon. It shows us many facts regarding the continuity of the two testaments: These lost texts are full of prophetic announcements and superb practical wisdom. We will pick up where our last private chat ended around chapter 35 or so. For the full talk subscribe to JaysAnalysis at the Paypal or credit card links.
 

 

Papal Circularity, Ecumenical Councils & Created Grace – Trad Philosophy



Covering the ecumenical councils and the epistemic issue of how we have doctrinal certainty. I will touch on the importance of Pentecost and the teaching office of the Spirit and the means the Spirit had ordained. We will cover the approach of the councils from the councils themselves, beginning in Acts 15 up through the ecumenical ones, depending on how far we get. I will also reply to the laughable pseudo-argument about my using the term “infused substance” instead of infused accident, as if it altered the argument (which it doesn’t).

 

I Am That I Am, Essence-Energy, St. Athanasius & Wandering Bishop Sedevacantist Cults – Jay Dyer


I will be covering the ridiculous accusation that St Athanasius taught absolute divine simplicity as illustrated from the definitive Fr Florovsky paper on the subject, analyzing De Decretis, and looking again at the theophanies and how Triadology developed from St Athanasius to St Basil in letters 38 and 234, to St Maximos and the 6th Council, into St. John of Damascus and the Confession of St. Sophronius and into the medieval Orthodox councils that define eternal manifestation as binding and how this is admitted in the Vatican Clarification on the Filioque.
