Genesis Vs Atheism & Paganism – Introduction to Theology – Jay Dyer (Half)

7 days of creation and Genesis 1 must be myths, right? Merely Carl Jung style “archetypes”? Isn’t the Bible just like all the other ancient near eastern religions? Didn’t monotheism evolve from polytheism? No, no, and no to all. No. In this talk we set our view over against the incoherent meaninglessness of modernity and scientism and paganism – all made foolish in Genesis itself. Hour 2 is available for subscribers to JaysAnalysis at the PayPal links.

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

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.

The Western Loss of Theophanies, Descent & Recapitulation of Christ

By: Jay Dyer
“Thy mystery of the incarnation of the Word bears the power of all hidden meanings and figures of Scripture as well as the knowledge of visible and intelligible creatures. The one who knows the mystery of the cross and the tomb knows the reason of things. And the one who has been initiated into the ineffable power of the Resurrection knows the purpose for which God originally made all things.” (St. Maximos the Confessor, Chapters on Knowledge, 1.66)
