textual criticism




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.

This second part includes the section of the video that failed to be processed correctly with an additional hour of my comments in response to Fr. Freeman’s email. I give my view of perennialism and how St. John of Damascus showed the means by which all religious systems boil down to a few basic starting point errors on God in his catalogue of heresies. Thus, in cabalism, Hinduism, evolutionism, and higher criticism and gnosticism, we see all the same trends and patterns at odds with our view.
