Comments which do not follow these rules will be deleted. Critiques are fine, but they have to pertain specifically to the question discussed in the video- those who simply use comments as a platform will be blocked. Such is not a statement that you are a bad or dumb person, but that I don't think your participation will facilitate substantive discussion. I know some will take my enforcement to be too strict, uneven, or unfair- but ultimately it is what it is.
Thanks so much for watching.

    Kabane’s resting stern face is paradoxically funny.

    This conversation has been great. When I was a non-denom Protestant, it was Alistars biblical commentary that gave me the courage to really explore liturgical understandings, and deeper readings that I was finding in Pageau and Seraphim and the Orthodox positions… I am now a Catechumen in the Holy Orthodox Church and I am eternally grateful and am closer to Christ than ever! Glory to God ☦️

    As a Roman Catholic who just got done reading 'A House for My Name' (inspired by Jordan) and listening to some James Jordan lectures, I can confirm its very much worth the time.

    After 2000 years of Orthodoxy and multitudes of Holy Fathers and Saints, with proven ascetic experience, who wrote multitudes of theological texts we need some unknown faces with questionable background and agendas, to listen their BS.? pfffffff.... Won't happen in my case. I leave them to Protestants.

    *1 Peter 4:11 (KJV)* If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. *Matthew 23:9 (KJV)* And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Per the words of the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, there is only one who we are to call Holy Father. Why then do you say that there have been more than one? Any man who professes to know the Lord must speak according to his words, which are written in the holy scriptures.

    @@titus3_1-7 Originally, I wanted to ask you if you are from he movie titled "Dumb & Dumber" and which one of these two is you... but then I realized, you may be ignorant of the Bible and not knowing the true meaning of the Lord's words... If you correctly understood Matt 23,9 how about you explain to me following verses: Matt 19,19 ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ Matt 19,29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father... Matt 21,31 Which of the two did the will of his father? Mark 1,20 And immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee... Mark 5, 40 He took the father and the mother of the child... Mark 11,10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David... Luke 12,53 Father will be divided against son and son against father... John 8,56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad. Acts 5,30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree... Acts 7,2 And he said, “Brethren and fathers, listen..." etc. Bible is not contradictory. Your misinterpretation makes it look like it is. So, it is your fault, whether you like it or not.

    You do realize the gist of the technique they are referring to is 1. Read your Bible everyday 2. Read large parts 3. Pay very close attention to how the Bible portrays a story 4. Notice when stories are told similarly. When the Same phrases are used. When the grammar is similar. 5. Ask yourself “why is it there” This is what you do when you are trying to understand a text. It exists, but it needs to be explained. Go and read the churches hymnogrqphy, it’s loaded with people making typological and pattern connections between the lives of saints and Old Testament passages. The gospels do this. This is quite literally what is meant by Christ fulfilling the Old Testament prophecies. He is in the fullest way embodying Israel in the Old Testament. That’s standard orthodox theology. You need to be super careful about how you treat the fathers. Don’t be like the Protestant who uses a Bible passage as a proof text. You shouldn’t use the fathers like proof texts. Because you end up with and endless cycle back and back and back that never touches the Bible. There’s nothing that says only canonized Saints can make any legitimate realizations of what the Bible is saying. And most of the fathers didn’t write on most of the Old Testament. And most that did, there works haven’t been translated into English. You are highly limited in what topics you can even learn from the fathers because of this. At the end of the day, whatever you get out of the Bible does need to be tested against what is canonically known. Go to the liturgy, go to the fathers, ask your bishops. Yes. But don’t treat the Bible like an unknowable mystery that only a guru can understand. Search the scriptures daily. Acts 17:11. Go read the passage. They were called noble for this.

    Just to echo some things the above commenter said, the Church Fathers themselves were not averse to studying carefully non-Orthodox exegetes who had useful insights. For example, Tychonius was a Donatist commentator on Scripture whose work was studied by and influenced a number of important Fathers of the Church, including St. Bede and St. Augustine. St. John Chrysostom also encourages his audience to reflect on the things he has said and to compare them with what the Scriptures say to see if he has spoken rightly. There are non-Orthodox interpreters of Scripture whose work is genuinely profitable and useful. Of course, they should be read with discernment, but the same is true for Orthodox writers.
