Open Theism, and I am very new to this, appeals to me because God becomes active. His benevolence, love and hesed are not pre-fixed. He participates in the affairs of humans, both as provider and director. This falls right in line with how he is characterized in the Bible...engaging, responding, revealing, withholding...even out-witting the rebels who would throw it all in disarray. Lord, bless this humble journey towards you and may we never assume to understand your ways that are not ours.

i could imagine Samuel Thomas Coleridge speak in this very. accent. So, deliciously Victorian it sounds.
Why are you afraid of something that is different than what you believe?
Gnosticism is a victim religion. They believe everything in the material world to be evil. They believe that the God of Abraham is the demiurge, they believe in multiple gods that form a hierarchy or chain of command. The ancient gnostics would practice self castration, have abortion rituals because they didn't believe in pro creation since the world is just pure evil and nothing good in it. The gospel of thomas says women must be turned to men to get into heaven, so I imagine they'd fit right in nowadays with the trans movement. People are drawn to it because it's a belief where you blame everything but yourself, and it has the attraction of esoteric and occult "secret knowledge". It's a downright evil religion thats similar to Luciferianism and has more in common with mormonism than biblical Christianity.
The Israelites were not originally a monotheistic religion, but rather a monolatry. Their God was the God of gods (Deuteronomy 10:17).
Most Christians believe the doctrine of the Trinity to be biblical, and they cite Matthew 28:18-20 or 1 John 5:7. But is the following the original quote of Christ? “And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” These verses are the modern-day rendition identifying an interpolation, so the question must be asked, “Did Christ speak every word found in these verses?” The first Church Historian Eusebius (quotes Matthew 28:19 as it appeared in the early 4th century, Christ said, “Go and make disciples of all nations in My name” (Matthew 28:19, as it was originally quoted, Eusebius, The History of the Church, p. 68, Penguin Classics, 1965). Note, He never said, “...baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.” Which commandment did the disciples hear? It appears the latter quoted by Eusebius from an original manuscript of the NT, for there is no instance of the disciples ever baptizing anyone “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost,” according to the New Testament! On baptisms specifically were done in the name of {YAHSHUA}, Martin Luther notes, “The apostles certainly used this formula in baptizing in the name of Christ only, as we read in the Acts of the Apostles,’ citing Acts 2:38; 10:48; and 19:5” (Erik H. Herrmann, Paul W. Robinson, The Annotated Luther, Volume 3: Church and Sacraments. Fortress Press. p. 66, 2016). In a documented sermon, Martin Luther made this astonishing statement, “It is indeed true that the name ‘Trinity’ is nowhere to be found in the Holy Scriptures, but has been conceived and invented by man” (The Sermons of Martin Luther, Vol. 3, 1988, p. 406). The disciples of Christ in the first two or more centuries did not know of any doctrine of the Trinity. Historically, “There is no evidence that the apostles of Jesus ever heard of the trinity-at any rate from him” (H. G. Wells, The Outline of History, Vol. 2, p. 499, 1920). Therefore, without a doubt, The so-called Great Commission, as written is an interpolation: "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19, the words “...in the name of the Father and of the Son, and the Holy Ghost” were added centuries later). The disciples were to make disciples in His name, and they were baptized in the name of Christ only as the NT gives evidence. The formula is mentioned in the Didache (7:1-3), and it is mostly accepted as authentic due to its supporting manuscript evidence (Everett Ferguson, Baptism in the Early Church, 2013, pp. 134-5). Nevertheless, some scholars have held the view that the passage in the Didache is an interpolation as it is absent from the first few centuries of early Christian quotations, in which case it is believed it would be part of an apostolic or early Christian oral tradition from which both the received texts of Matthew and the Didache emerged, however, the conclusion is the church only baptized in the name of Christ. The view of the passage as an interpolation was in recent times maintained, and this particular line of opposing arguments by Trinitarians is pure eisegesis, meaning the process of interpreting a text in such a way as to introduce one's presuppositions, agendas, or biases, that artificially supports the Trinitarian formula, and based on interpolated verses added to the New Testament. Catholics and Protestants would agree with Protestant Theologian James White, who writes, “We hang a person’s very salvation upon the acceptance of the doctrine…We must know, understand, and love the Trinity to be fully completely Christian” (The Forgotten Trinity, pp. 14-15). And yet most other scholars know that the Trinity is beyond human understanding, “The mind of man cannot fully understand the mystery of the Trinity. He who has tried to understand the mystery fully will lose his mind, but he who would deny the Trinity will lose his soul” (Harold Lindsell and Charles Woodbridge, A Christian Handbook, pp. 51-52, 1953). Nowhere in the New Testament is believing in the Trinity a prerequisite for one’s salvation. Nowhere in the Bible did the LORD ever reveal Himself as a Trinity, or Triune God. Interpolations exist in the New Testament, which are words added later to prove the Trinity. Matthew 28:19 and 1 John 5:7 are proven interpolations, and therefore not of the original Scriptures. 1 John 5:7 is known as “The Johannine comma,” due to a sequence of extra words in 1 John 5:7-8 which appear in later versions of the Bible, but not in earlier Scriptures. Compare these words below in italics in the KJV and the same verse from the newer ESV. "For there are three that bear record (witness) in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one" (1 John 5:7-8 KJV). "For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree" (1 John 5:7-8, ESV). These extra words are generally absent from the early Greek manuscripts. They only appear in the text in late medieval manuscripts, which were done by Trinitarians to bolster the man-made doctrine of the Trinity. The Trinitarian doctrine only existed since the 4th century! A religion unexamined is not worth having. Besides, most Christians when questioned about the Trinity prove to be Modalists, not Trinitarians (The Forgotten Trinity, p. 16). Christians have given examples of the Trinity, and one is the steam, water, and ice, which is not a good example for it only proves modalism. The Trinity is not so much a mystery as it is the doctrine of confusion, and we know that God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33).
HE HAS TO START RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING! STAY WITH THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR HIMSELF AND THE PEOPLE HE IS TRYING TO TEACH SOMETHING ABOUT THEOLOGIE !
There is no audio after 5: 00.. or about close to that..
I understand why, but cutting off sound mid-video might not be the most encouraging way to get people to support this channel?
Can you fix the sound?
Thank you!
S.T. Coleridge was nominally a Unitarian, but not in reality. It was too cold and impersonal for him. In fact he came to openly hate it.
This was an awful explanation. Da Vinci code got nothing to do with gnosticism ,and he twisted facts..
Excellent, well informed and articulated video, but lots of spelling errors that could have been caught by proofreading...for example "true" was spelled "ture".
Reason is language? What the fuck does that mean? Not a great lecturer.
Von Balthazar’s teachings are based on the mystic he promoted Adrienne Von speyr and especially on her version of the decent into Hell by Jesus which is contrary to the council of Trent which says Jesus descended into the paradise of the bosom of Abraham the hell of waiting, and Bishop challenor wrote on this too, St. John of the cross warned of trusting in mysticism.
Christianity is an obvious plagiarism of Plato’s ideas There’s so much evidence it’s almost certain
It amazes me how our western cultures find it so hard to comprehend the sacrifce of Jesus as an act of love, forguiveness, justice (not retributive justice), mercy, restoration and reconciliation rather than enforcing wrath, punishment, payment, death, penatly and debt. Our sense of justice based on the roman law has distorted the meaning of God's work on the cross through Jesus. Jesus is fulfilling all the jewish tradition had spoken about the Lord's day in which God would begin a new creation (in Luke 4 Jesus acomplhishes Isaiah 61). “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” How can we distort and turn the good news of God's favor into some bloody killing sacrifice required to satisty his wrath. We lost something along the way. We have gone too far away from the concept of justice demonstrated through the hebrew tradition.
325 AD Constitine Made Dec 26 Mithras Bday into Jesus Bday . Mithra also was Born of Virgin Son of God Resurrection after death. How is Paul's epistles written before the Gospels. It's probably no coincidence that Jesus sayings is completely different than Paul's Gospel.
Where can I get the full video of this clip?
Why do we think we can wrap our finite minds around the infinite Creator. Peter, however fulfilled his role as the Rock upon whom God would build his church when he fulfilled Christ's command to baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Peter baptized in the name of Jesus. Jesus is clearly the revealed name of the most high in Acts 2:38. He spoke to mankind so he is the living word of God to man. There is one God. Peter was given the keys to God's kingdom , and revealed the name of Father, Son , and Holy Spirit as the fulfillment of Christ's command found in Matt 28:19
Excellent 😊
I prefer the alternative Catholic Orthodoxy of Bl John Duns Scotus. I’m always surprised that this venerable minority view never gets discussed. I think it answers many objections
ok i subscribed! where is the sound? Why is there any sound at all instead of no sound whatsoever? huh?
The sound disappeared half way through!
"As I was saying, before I was so rudely interrupted!" Calm down, bro. This is a concern of mine in the philosophical community - so articulate in speech & knowledge, but arrogant & mean spirited in how they treat people.
It was a joke, with the reactionary and repressive church hierarchy as its target. Hardly aggressive, unless poking gentle fun at the powerful and authoritarian is deemed so.
Very beautiful, informative, and inspirational. Thank you!
3:53 God did not declare this. This was the fallen angels adding to the Bible.
What's that?
Gnosticism comes from gnosis or knowledge, it's understandable why the orthodox church doesn't like it as they've repressed the spreading of knowledge for thousands of years if it doesn't equate with their teaching. Millions of tortures and deaths and they can proclaim to be virtuous with a straight face and a calm tone of voice, that's talent that is.

You are an extremely bossy ethnic MINORITY spouting horribly poor arguments.
Bossy blacks, bossy 4% who think they can dictate and deny white English 🏴 native indigenous ancestral national theological representation.
I’m not having a reverse black supremacist, black colonialising theology in my country.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧 you as FOUR PERCENT can have an black ethnic theology.
White English native indigenous theology. If you insist probably rightly on a black? African theology the as white native indigenous ancestral WHITE of English 🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 descent. I insist on theologies to represent US.
Nah mate, the universe doesn't exist within god, youre coming at it from your christian lense, if you must bring in your god notion into it, the cosmos is "god", but the universe just is no god reference needed, I'm part of the universe as are you, we are both conscious thus the universe is conscious, but am I god are you god, no we are just part of the universe , part of the whole. Give up your "god" compulsion and smell the beauty of what is.
Brilliant video
Always, utterly refreshing.
You title is incorrect. Trinuty in CHRISTAIN theology. Trinuty began back with Nimrod at Tower Babalon. Trinuty, imortal soul , hellfire , many of the MAINSTREAM beliefs are still mascarading in this ,,satans culture, we now live in .
Down voted because of the sound cut off. Was going to sub but not now, wouldn't recommend this channel to anyone because of that fact. Great Job Timeline Theological Videos.
The Father of course knows that humans would naturally want to venerate him and as such the Father even called him god. He is the herald of the true living Creator and his mission pointed to the real Father since he was the mediator between God and man. That is why he could be worshipped as the means back to our Creator. The Father does know human nature.
Really enjoyed this thank you 😊
"It is something worked out in the world and in relation to others". I'm a therapeutic social worker working both with individuals and groups and this comment is spot on.
I would also like to add, that while these comments of depression are accurate, there is also the work for the depressed person to begin to accept their condition. Such a delusion that they must live like this has long been accepted by them, and consequently they would need substantial support and skill and care from others to get to that point. Their first departure with another after "I cannot function in the world", would be "I am not depressed". Just drawing attention to depression (and sin even more) would be hopeless. The person who wrote those accounts of depression, spoken from their heart, is truly gifted, because they have accepted their delusion. It is something rarely achieved or written about on such accurate terms.
Cottingham and Bernard WillIams helped me immensely with understanding Descartes. I have their copy of Descartes Meditations and Replies, and the first volume of Descartes collected works that Cottingham edited. An old beautiful copy! When they made books beautiful. I find Descartes fascinating especially when looking at the time he was in and how far he went with so little (in today’s standards). No smart phone, no computer. Just manuscripts and his amazing thought/dialogue with those around him.
The Renaissance, the Age of Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution and modernity had a great adversarial impact on Luther’s theology which preceded these developments. Luther’s writings were primarily centred on Medieval philosophy and thinking. In other words and in short, on hindsight, Luther’s theology found itself on inevitable collision course with modernity Luther didn’t get to see which we are seeing today.
This sort of sound interruption in order to force monetization is at least a blunt manipulation of one’s thirst for knowledge and interpretation … even if money may be essential for some … it’s crap!
He introduced German Bible Thumpers to the world stage with velvet gloved fists. Later German Bible Thumpers learned to take the gloves off and thump the Bible the way blind people thump braille.

He was definitely important to the rejection of religion and the death of God in northern Europe.
