Debating Thomism & Roman Catholic Absolute Simplicity: Jay Dyer Vs. Dr. Francis Feingold

The debate will be 2PM EST
Dr. Feingold is Assistant Professor Of Philosophy at St. Patrick’s Seminary and University, with a specialty in medieval philosophy (esp. Aquinas), metaphysics (esp. philosophy of God), ethics (esp. moral psychology). Areas of competence: Ancient philosophy, modern philosophy, political philosophy, epistemology, and free will. We will be debating whether the Thomistic and Roman Dogma of absolute divine simplicity is true.

Eastern & Latin Theology & The Essence – Energy Distinction – Jay Dyer

What are the central differences between Latin and Eastern theology? Is there are common thread of difference that gives rise to two different approaches to divinity, knowledge, revelation and eschatology? Yes, I argue. I discuss Augustine, Aquinas, absolute divine simplicity as borrowed from Aristotle and Plato, the Logos, the Greek triad, I Am as “pure being,” Anselm, the analogia entis/chain of being, apophatic theology, theosis, created grace, divine energies, divine ideas, and the supposed ‘beatific vision.’

Roman Catholic Dogmatic Absolute Divine Simplicity is Heretical – Jay Dyer

Moses saw and communed with a Personal God, not a created light and not a generic essence.
“When God was conversing with Moses, He did not say, “I am the essence”, but “I am the One Who is.” Thus it is not the One Who is who derives from the essence, but essence which derives from Him, for it is He who contains all being in Himself.” -St. Gregory Palamas, Triads in Defense of the Holy Hesychasts, III.ii.12

Incarnation of the Logos – St. Athanasius (Partial Lecture)

Functioning as a perfect introduction to Orthodoxy, in this talk we will cover St. Athanasius’ famous work, On the Incarnation, which lays out the basics of Orthodoxy. From theosis to balanced Triadology, the Incarnation and Resurrection are the pillar doctrines of our faith and function as a golden chain based around the correct doctrine of the Trinity and Christology.

Refuting Roman Catholicism & Ecumenism: Palamas, Aquinas & Augustine

A reply to various so-called Orthodox and Roman Catholic apologist attempts to reply to my essay. Ultimately these attempts fail because they do not understand hypostatic properties and the orthodox distinctions of will, nature, person and operation. As a result, both faux “Orthodox” and Roman Catholics congeal into a mass lump of heretical perennialism, as generic as their generic theism.
