Next up in the long list of debates is the popular Hitchens Vs D’Souza debate over the existence of God. It’s another debate I have not yet seen, but if any of the other debates are an indicator, my hopes are not very high. I don’t know D’Souza’s approach but I assume it will be […]
One of the most difficult biblical books is the major prophet Ezekiel, who cannot be overlooked. As Orthodox, in fact, many of the more mysterious passages in Ezekiel make far more sense, as we will see. In this initial talk we will work through the early chapters and cover the profound presentation of the […]
Today we will open up the discord for debate and Q n A for pagans, atheists, Roman Catholics, Muslims, etc. to come and offer their objections. Today a pagan showed up in the first few minutes for discussion and then deeper theological and philosophical issues of Actus Purus & modal collapse, then universals in Thomism. Then […]
Biblical scholar Seraphim Hamilton joins me to discuss the topic of understanding the law and the prophets and how to do hermeneutics. The science of hermeneutics is a science that can only be done in the context of the church: with repentance, following the fathers and participation in the liturgy being the keys elements […]
Fr Dcn Dr Ananias, Snek, and Qai join me to review the debate. We will cover Qai’s issues first, the epistemology and problems in Aristotle’s empiricism, the pure act problem with contingency and perfection, the problems in occasionalism and causal chains, gnostic assumptions about creation being “impure,” and more. Live at 7PM CST […]
Sheikh Asrar Rashid joins me for a formal debate on the question of the Trinity Versus Tawhid and the Person of Christ. Is the Islamic conception of God’s unity correct, where Christ is a prophet or is Jesus the Son of God, the Second Person of the Trinity? The debate will be formal back […]
Today we will return to the Gospel of John following the High Priestly Prayer chapters and move to the trial, crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection and meaning of St. John the Theologian’s Gospel. We will also look at the anti-gnostic significance of the bodily resurrection, the transformation of the cosmos and the eschaton. This […]
Continuing the lectures on the Gospel of John, we delve deeper into the Biblical texts that are crucial for the Trinity and the Inter-Trinitarian life of the Persons. Orthodox theology alone has the correct conceptual tools and frameworks and metaphysical distinctions that explain how the Triad is coherent. The chapters of John we will […]
I spent 3 hours reworking the audio so pretend along with the vaporware its 1987 and you are listening to an old cassette tape – nothing I can do about it, wasn’t recorded by me. I am reposting it because it’s still a good debate, and so far one of the better debates we’ve […]
The post Debate! Pagan vs. Orthodox: Logos, Language & Metaphysics – Jay Dyer Vs CB Robertson appeared first on JaysAnalysis.com.
Michael Witcoff (Orthodox) squared off recently in a debate with gnostic Mart Leeds33 on his channel concerning the “gnostic” worldview and its interpretation of Scripture compared to the Orthodox view of God, Scripture and history. We will probably only cover the first half but this will be a fun one. And yes, we will […]
