A Discussion with Matthew Adelstein on Christian theology
Matthew and I discuss the scriptural, philosophical, and historical basis of universalism. We also discuss Christianity more broadly since Matthew considers himself a "generic theist" but is not partial to any specific religion. Enjoy!

Salvation in Eastern Orthodoxy
Просмотров 1278 месяцев назад
Eastern Orthodoxy holds to a dynamic view of salvation: Salvation is not a "thing" you have or don't have. Salvation is the process of theosis: Becoming divinized by taking part in God's divine energies. This is distinct from the sola fide (faith alone) of Protestantism. This is also distinct from the Roman Catholic view which tends to reject a dynamic soteriology. Purchase "Conspiracy and the ...
Jesus is The Incarnation of Wisdom
Просмотров 928 месяцев назад
In John's gospel as well as in texts like Colossians, Ephesians, and Hebrews, there is a common theological motif that Jesus is the incarnation of Wisdom. To establish this theme, the authors turned towards texts in the Old Testament like Proverbs, Wisdom of Solomon, Ecclesiasticus, and Sirach. Wisdom, as portrayed in the OT can roughly be defined in two relevant ways: 1. The self-expression of...

    A great exchange! Strange that in the Nicene creed the very foudation stone of Christian dogma, judgement is mentioned but not the everlasting torment factor. Why? Because the first generations following Christ Jesus everlasting torment did not figure in their understanding. A judgement yes, but one that the truth of oneself with much pain and remorse restores us fully to the full image of God. Slowly over time the judgement interpretation became biased reflecting more the human heart rather than God's sovereign infinite love grace and mercy. Theosis and APOKATASTASIS two wonderful and original Biblical concepts that were never abandoned by what we today know as Eastern Orthodoxy. Biblical Fundamentalism since its beginning in the 18th Century with its fear based evangelism has done the true nature and character of God a terrible injustice. Universal restoration causes one to love God/ Christ Jesus in ourselves more, and wanting to be changed into their likeness (Heaven/Kingdom of God) NOW. Not necessarily a salvation in the new life to come. Apologies for the long comment.😊

    Grammatically, all thoughts that can be expressed as a proposition can be in the first person, second person, or third person point of view. “I am X”, “You are X”, “X is X”. In either case, the referent of “I”, “You”, and “X”, can all be the same. God as an omniscient mind can very well enjoy his own self knowledge via the tripartite division of how he can refer to himself by the first person, second person, and third person points of view. We very can do this, as if looking into a mirror and saying “You will do this today!” Or “I will do this today!”In either case I am talking to myself through a different personal perspective. So it isn’t a stretch that God can too. Since God is also divinely simple, and so his act of knowing himself is supremely united with his act of being, these differing perspectives of self-reference in a true thought of oneself may be all the more mystifying, and hence allude to a Trinity of persons in one divine substance.

    I just don't get it. All of Zizek's games (following Hegel) are _protestant_ in character: not post-Christian, but post-Luther. Christ himself proclaims the death of God? Well sure, but what about Easter? Chesterton drew exactly the opposite conclusion from Christ's last words, because he remembered and believed in Easter. "Christian Atheism" follows from protestantism, not from orthodoxy, which is far more interesting. And who ever said that the Song of Songs was _not_ about actual lovers? Everything that happens is significant, a sign, a metaphor. Literally! That's orthodoxy. Zizek says nothing new. He only forgets to say something old.

    @8:32 "Tertullian was quite wrong." Yeah, you clearly aren't familiar with Tertullians writings or the context of that oft-quoted line of his. Tertullian didn't believe in a necessary severring between Jerusalem and Athens. Here's an excerpt from theologian Paul Tyson to fill you in, since you obviously don't have much knowledge on this topic: "Tertullian had, as his polemic targets in his writings, Marcion and Gnosticism. Marcion couldn't reconcile the God of the Hebrew Scriptures with the revelation of God via Christ. He identified "God" in the Hebraic Scriptures as the evil demiurge of Middle Platonism, who creates matter and is thus full of the base passions of this lowly realm. This demiurge, Marcion maintains, is not the properly divine God that Jesus reveals to us. Hence, civilzed and rational Greeks could believe in the Christian revelation only if they clearly dissociated it from its Hebraic origins and the base materialism of claiming that Jesus was God in human flesh. Thus, to cleanse the Christian revelation of characteristics unworthy of Greek theology, Marcion jettisoned the Old Testament, denied that Christ was God Incarnate, and developed his own restricted canon of New Testament writings so as to have a Christian faith that was compatible with the dignity and eternal impassibility of a purely spiritual Greek divinity. Tertullian will have nothing of this. If the vetting of divine revelation by the inconclusive and merely speculative fashions of Greek philosophy is "reason", then Tertullian embraces absurdity. Tertullian's argument, however, is dripping with irony and is a powerful critique of what Marcion thinks of as "reason". For it seems clear to Tertullian that if you were merely dreaming up your own rational theology then of course you would not embrace Christian revelation. What this demonstrates to Tertullian is that "rational theology" is an entirely human invention, not a revelation fo God at all, and as a merely human production it has no truth, and hence no true rationality."

    • @dissatisfiedphilosophy
      @dissatisfiedphilosophy 3 месяца назад

      Yeah this is an old video. I learned almost a year ago that Tertullian did not say that line. It was from another author, who we now dub pseudo-Tertullian. But he most certainly was wary about associating the Scriptures with Greek philosophy as much as others like Athenagoras were

    Writing as a sceptic of sorts: if Adam and Eve is not supposed to be material history, why is the Garden of Eden described as having a very specific geographical location? If Adam didn't 'really' exist, why is he included in Luke's geneaology of Jesus? I have also read that many Fathers looked at these stories through both spiritual and material lenses. Like, Origen literally tried to understand what the dimensions of the Ark would have been. Jesus and 1 Peter seem to refer to Noah's Ark quite breezily and plainly, seemingly assuming that these events just did happen. I couldn't quite follow whether you believed that the Ark story had happened.
