I've heard from several Roman Catholics and one RC-to-Orthodox convert that it's a common misconception that the RCC teaches inherited guilt. They say that inherited guilt is only taught among protestants. Where did you find the idea that they do teach this?

Bradshaw is not a representative of Orthodoxy. His weird fusion of Anglo‐American analytic philosophy and what he takes to be a Palamite reading of the Fathers is awful, as is his historically wildly wrong narrative of Patristic tradition. He might convince lots of evangelical converts, but no serious person.

Great overview and drilling down into your peeling apart realism nominalism. Just gets me thinking of Freud and his great discovery of the unconscious. Is this nominalism creeping in? Thanks for not running Hegel Drew Marxism. letting him stand on his own and bringing in his views on God, probably heretical but in a good Mystic way

Thank you for having pity on us at a time where content creators leave us hanging. Hope you're having a wonderful Christmas week!

Merry Christmas 🎄

how curious I was thinking of this during my waking hour.

Merry Christmas 🙏

I wish you would let the guest talk more.

This podcast is great stuff, top 5 from this channel. This episode ties together so many big pictures things towards the end, and to consider all those things is just glorious.

🦄

This podcast/channel deserves a lot more views. How can we support? On Substack?

Mary was a virgin until she had other children after Jesus with Joseph.

First video I have seen from you and it is excellent, thank you

It's humorous to me to see Dr Jacobs engaging in linguistic gymnastics trying to speak honestly without making his lack of respect for Peterson blunt enough that it insults people who are inspired by him. What's funny is that it leads to him engaging in the same sort of indirect implications and unspoken inferences that he's pointing out in Peterson's behavior.

Hey producer, can you please look into how yall can put the video version of the podcast on Spotify?

TNJP is the best pod

Dr Jacobs, what do you think of the house church movements in Iran, China, India and elsewhere? I'm interested in Orthodoxy but it seems to be a very stripped back basic gospel 'good news' message that is spreading in the hard to reach area's.

I watched half that Mary movie on Netflix and turned it off. I can't imaging you're going to say anything good about it but I'm excited to hear your take.

I'm inquiring into Orthodoxy and these episodes, especially this one, and your substack on Mary are so helpful. Thank you for taking the time, Dr. Jacobs.

Nathan can you comment on Revelation 12?

One of the best episodes.

I would love an episode about the absence of God or why God doesn't always answer prayers the way someone would want them answered. If this episode already exists or you do wind up making one about it, I look forward to listening. Also please do an episode about 'remote viewing' and CIA studies into psychological/psychic experiments.

Is Realism the same thing as Idealism? Is there a difference? Is one a subset of the other? Can you please do a video on this.

I saw Father DeYoung's demon dog lurking in the background!

Glory to God! This was beautiful. I did not become Orthodox because I was convinced that the filioque was heretical. Or because I was convinced that kissing icons was good. Or because I was convinced that imputation was not the best framework through which to view the atonement. I became Orthodox because we tell a more compelling story. If someone asks me why I became Orthodox I will tell them to watch this video. It's the best distillation I have seen.

Thanks! This is my favourite podcast!! 🙂🙏

I like them all But this one…. This one was absolutely awesome. Even brought a tear to my eye at the end because your explanation was so on point. I could see it and I longed for it. I think I might start talking to my plant telling them to hang on, soon, very soon, we will all be alive more than we can comprehend. Thank you Your X mas present to us all.

Amazing episode as always! I never connected Christ being the mediator between us and god like that before, makes so much sense!! If you dont have the essence energy distinction you will never grasp that concept

Brilliant. Inspirational. Insightful. Thank you for crystallizing the meaning of Christmas. Tying the way air feels this time of year to the incarnation, its significance to us, and to all of creation. I hope your Christmas is wonderful, brother.

For Aristotle God is basically a battery? Or a power source?

God bless you and your family!!!

I think we should have a tattoo explanation episode.

My favorite YT feed 😊

Nathan, would you like to speak to a political philosopher on one of the themes discussed in this video: [Heavy Things Lightly] Pavel Shchelin: The Russian Pageau.

Fr. Seraphim Rose writes in his book Nihilism about the proclivity for realists to become reductionists. Can you do a video on practical/actionable ways to avoid these pitfalls?

Amazing episode as usual. you are one of the most comprehensible teachers of metaphysics on RUclips and in the ortho-sphere.Glory to God and thank you for everything you do

Wouldn’t the chains of reasoning, which could be spontaneously chosen, each be susceptible to a first cause in a chain of causality, and thus determined? Also, how does this fit into the notion of telos, as in the Greek philosophers like Socrates and Plato, and later in the church fathers? This was a justification for apokatastasis, so I’d be curious how you’d engage this. It also explains why Jesus was more free even in the reduction of choices available to Him in being unable to sin. Thanks for the great talk!!

Thank you for this exchange - The visible and theophany as a window, a "rudder". A deep invitational and participatory implication. Beauty as medicinal, an antidote for the contractions and demonic shrinking inward. The shrinking inward as opportune: The demons taught me how to pray (Metropolitan Demetrius of America). Despair towards Sainthood. I am currently an Orthodox inquirer, and am now acquiring the sensibilities to taste this unfolding in so many ways. Beginning to glean the Kairotic as this spirit here joins Christ as the Best Storyteller of All Time. Blessings 🪷❤🙏🏾

Dr. Jacobs. Some thoughts on the post liberal ideas vs classical liberal ideas would be interesting? It seems that metaphysics would be relevant to the conversation. It seems to me the modern way of viewing the world doesn't quite grasp metaphysics the way the ancient philosophers like Plato and Aristotle would've understood metaphysics. I'm hearing classical liberals say we need to return to the logos and yet they say the logos is only Greek philosophy that had nothing to do with the religiosity of the Greek philosophers.

Hi Dr Jacobs, love your work and these podcasts are so enriching to my faith. I was wondering if you could do a talk in universals vs particulars. I know you've covered some of this with realism vs nominalism, but I've heard other perspectives and I'd like to know your thoughts on things like: Are universals abstract or concrete? How do we think about universals that are not yet created? Are universals encompassing all physical and nonphysical? Etc

Thank you 🙏🏽

Nathan, this was an amazing podcast. Just blown away. These are all topics I already felt this way about (especially therapy) but haven’t heard it articulated quite like this before. The mental health crisis is a combination of physical and spiritual sickness. The more I learn about the EO understanding, the more I realize it makes sense. Thank you 🙏🏽 God Bless!

"Rabbit hole" and "rabbit trail" are both real idioms in english. You're right that "rabbit hole" does come from Alice in Wonderland and refers to a deep dive on a particular subject. Rabbit trail refers to a tangent. 🐇

2 weeks without Dr jacobs is 2 weeks too long😊

amazing episode as always. The lunatic view of denying free will needs more well thought responses like this one

I’d be interested in a Dr. Jacobs episode on stoicism. That’s super hot in pop-philosophy and I’d like to hear your take on the common (mis)perceptions about it.

Wonder if you have any thoughts on the tree of knowing of good and evil. Would its existence in the garden have to do with God giving Adam and Eve the power of contrary choice?

Love the podcast. Would really appreciate a deep dive into evolution and compatibility with Orthodoxy.
