As many of you have requested for several years, Stefan Molyneux has agreed to have an unmoderated conversational exchange and debate on the nature of philosophy itself, logic, epistemic claims, the value of “sense data” and empiricism, and much more! Tune in to his channel at 8PM EST followed by a Q n A. Not sure where this chat will go, but it should be lively!
Church of the Eternal Logos joins me and Snek to discuss his journey to Orthodoxy. We will cover the theological and ideological side of his journey and how he went from an interest in the esoteric and alchemy and perennialism to the biblical revelation of the Logos. We will also cover apophatic theology, dialectics, logoi and St. Maximos, and much more! LIVE AT 530 PM CST
David joins me to discuss traps for Orthodox, including heresies, heretics and mistakes commonly made. We look at Origen, pride and prelest, bad news “orthodox” people, schismatic sects and more! David’s excellent channel is here.
Today we do a full analysis of the greatest debate of the 2oth century – the Bahnsen/Stein Debate. Hopefully we will cover the many misunderstandings that arise from various sectors concerning the transcendental argument, the nature of proofs and evidences, the compatibility of philosophy with Orthodoxy, and especially this form of argumentation, the word-concept fallacy, calvinism and much more. Part 2 of the other talk will be up later tomorrow or the day after.
We return to the Genesis series as we cover the second chapter and its significance for man, as well as the secret prophetic and symbolic meanings, recalling the patristic analysis as well as the canonical context and typology. Genesis 2 focuses on the covenantal relationship between man and God, while chapter was cosmic in scope. I also explain the silly fiasco with Inspiring Philosophy at the outset as well as how it’s necessary to follow me on the backups. Live at 630 PM EST
Today we catch up with Frank and see what’s happening in the Roman realm and the results of the scandalous Roman Synod. After that we look forward to the coming ecumenical meetings with Mola Ram!
I was invited back to Aeon Byte for a debate – this is uploaded with express written permission. Jay Dyer and Scott Smith joined us for a civil but passionate debate. We discussed the Gnostic and Orthodox differences on Theodicy, Biblical Inerrancy, Free Will, Salvation, the nature of Jesus, and much more. Is the world evil or in harmony? Is the Old Testament about a good or evil god? What were the true origins of Christianity? And much more. For some reason, my vaping was as incendiary as the topics.
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.
