The Manipulation of Counter Apologetics: Deception
In this video, we dive deep into the deceptive tactics often used by counter-apologetics to undermine Christianity. From misleading arguments to strategic omissions, critics frequently present themselves as experts while disregarding key theological and scholarly insights. We’ll expose examples of this intellectual dishonesty in the work of Kristi Burke, Viced Rhino, and TMM, highlighting how their critiques misrepresent Christian scholarship.
We’ll explore how these arguments manipulate the narrative, from Origen’s views on hell to William Lane Craig’s stance on Einstein’s theory of relativity. Through this, we reveal the critical role of thorough research and engagement with foundational...

Four Pillars of Christian Apologetics: C.S. Lewis
Просмотров 3,3 тыс.Месяц назад
Before the fourth horseman of new atheism, there were the four pillars of Christian literature in the early 20th century: J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, and Dorothy L. Sayers. These authors not only influenced Christianity but also left a significant mark on culture. Even the most ardent atheists have likely encountered and enjoyed their works, which have shaped Western literature...

      I think that Freud’s rejection of Judaism was the core reason he rejected Christianity. It doesn’t seems like he ever really took it seriously. Only really dismissing it with very service level objections.

    Wasn't Paul secretly working for the Flavian Dynasty? Weren't all of the original Roman Catholic Saints' members of the Flavian Dynasty? Weren't all of the original symbols used by the earliest Christians identical to those of the Flavian Dynasty? And isn’t one of the earliest iconographic symbols for Christianity, located in a catacomb, under the city of Rome, which was owned by a Flavian Princess? Weren't all of the original Jesus cult texts produced under the oversight of the Flavian Dynasty? Didn't the Flavian Dynasty posses the only remaining copy of the Hebrew Tanakh other than the Greek Septuagint translation? Isn't there Flavian typology in the Gospels? Weren't the canonical texts all back dated like the historical fiction of Gone With The Wind? Wasn't Emperor Vespasian known as the Jewish Messiah? Wasn’t Pope Clement of Rome a Flavian? Wasn't Josephus a temple whore for the Flavian Dynasty? Weren't the Flavian’s, as well as Paul, descended from King Herod? There was no separation of Church and State in the Roman Empire. And Christianity is clearly a Greco-Roman hybrid form of Judaism created by the Flavian Dynasty. As an attempt to adapt, pacify, and integrate the rebellious and defiant Jews into the rest of the Greco-Roman Empire. Just like the Greeks created Hermes Trismegistus to integrate Egyptian mythology with Greek mythology.Then finally Neo-Flavian Constantine chose the Flavian family religion to be the official religion of the entire Roman Empire. In order to consolidate power in his fractured Empire. And then Eusebius edited and rewrote the history of the previous 3OO years. Destroying all contradictory evidence. It isn't history it is all simply Greco-Roman mythopoetic literature. Today it is known as Historical Fiction. “What profit hath not this fable of Christ brought us.” Pope Leo X 💙

      The goal of the Romans was to change their national religion and identity to pacify a minor largely unimportant region in the near east? The emperor secretly collaborated with a tent maker from a small city to carry this out? Causing major unrest with in the emperor and further alienating the Jewish population that rejected the teaching of Jesus. For what reason exactly?

      Literature has been such a core aspect of Christianity. As literature allows us to explore the human condition in a more pure method than scholarship could ever. For example Dostoevsky does more in Crime and Punishment to explore the limits of subjective morality more so than any scholarly paper on the topic has.

      @@williamsdavis8462 One of my favorite allegories from "The Chronicles of Narnia" is how readers, like the characters within Narnia, know that Aslan is real and exists. I love how the stories convey that Aslan does not appear to everyone but uses select representatives who reflect his character through their actions. Additionally, we see the cycle of disbelief and how quickly characters start to believe in Aslan as a myth, despite the reader knowing they are mistaken. This brilliantly represents how we experience God in the world.

This group provides fascinating insights and conflicting views that clash extremely well. Chesterton and his defense or Orthodoxy versus the Nietzsche rejection of the traditional. Or the varying perspectives in the role of myth in determining truth between Tolkien and Jung. I find exploring the idea fascinating.

      that is a great idea! I would love that. I find the early church to be fascinating. I seems to me that the scholarship form this period was unmatched and I believe directly influenced by God. Essentially all modern debate of Christianity was already addressed by Origen, Thomas Aquinas, Saint Augustine,Justin Martyr , Tertullian, etc. There seems to be extremely little ground that these scholars have not already addressed.

      Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words. I put a lot of effort into researching for this video. What really stood out to me during my research is how intellectually rich the discourse was between early skeptics and early apologists. In fact, I found that Celsus' critiques were far more nuanced and sophisticated compared to many modern skeptics. It’s fascinating to see how deeply they engaged with philosophical and theological arguments back then.
