Darwin's Bluff: The SECRET Book Darwin NEVER Published! (ft. Dr. Robert Shedinger) | EP 91
Переглядів 24221 день тому
Darwin kept reminding his colleagues that the Origin of Species was just an abstract. Why did he publish it hurriedly? He then promised to release a massive book that addressed the gaps in the abstract and provided more evidence. He never published it. Why didn't he? And what did 'Darwin's Bulldog' Huxley feel about the Origin of Species? Robert Shedinger shares insights from his rabble rousing...

    People forget that God works not only in short time spans but also for long time spans. How can we claim that St. Thomas Christians were a failure in their activities if we believe that the Body of Christ is lead by the Holy Spirit? Is the Holy Spirit only present through one Apostle? Was the Holy Spirit silent until the Catholics or the Protestants came to India? Or was God preparing India, working a plan for it, just as He did for the Israelites under the rule of the Pharaoh for centuries in Egypt? Just because a ground is rocky doesn't mean that we abandon it. We can turn even the most infertile soil into the most fertile of lands. If we can do that as humans, then what can our God do? We really need to stop thinking in short term like this if we really wanna see the Hand of God moving through History. 🙏

      I agree. Holy Spirit add people to church, as is seen in Acts. Also at one point, HolySpirit forbade the disciples to go to Asia. At another time, the apostle was shown to go to Macedonia. So, we should refrain or go to other places according to the guidance of HolySpirit imo. However the Protestant ideology is to go wherever they can, and preach all over the place. Are they listening to Holyspirit forbading them to go to certain places? If they did, they wouldn’t have judged the traditional churches.

Also, this thinking initiated the idea that if you were born into a Christian household you are a Christian which is not biblically supported.. and also there was no commitment towards reaching the lost outside of their caste groups. To make things worse..when the evangelicals finally started reaching the lost in Kerala, a bishop from Kerala was so offended by this church growth that he started implying that the lower castes are just converting because they are receiving food and money.. ans he coined this extremely derogatory term called "rice Christians" which is now ironically being used against these so-called "high caste" Christians as well

      I don’t think we should judge them. If you noticed, Christianity is highest in South and north east India, where there were Jewish settlements in highest concentrate, as Christianity came to India because of the Jews. And people there readily believed in the messiah Jesus. And, it’s not required to convert all people, as is seen in acts, the HolySpirit forbade disciple to go to Asia, and Lord Jesus had said if anyone do not receive you, dust off your feet and leave the place, for they would later face judgement. The kind of rage the Hindu nationalists shows to Christianity, one must think about it and leave them to judgement day. Let God be the judge. So in my opinion, what the South Indians did was right. Preach gospel to those who are accepting, who are enquirers of the faith. Holy Spirit will add them to church as it is seen in Acts.

Even in Europe,Christianity was introduced by means of bigotry. It is not different to the history of India also. So far,there is no evidence for historical existence of Jesus, how the story of Thomas becomes true for Kerala…?. It is better to believe in the story of Parasurama’s creation of Kerala,rather than that of Thomas’s coming in the first century. More over Jews are also not for a pure race.

Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.” Matthew‬ 15‬:24‬, 26‬, 28‬ NKJV‬‬ “And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.” John‬ 10‬:16‬ NKJV‬‬ ““I, the Lord, have called You in righteousness, And will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the Gentiles,” Isaiah‬ 42‬:6‬ NKJV‬‬ “For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you.

    The reason Christianity didn't spread in India before the arrival of the western colonial forces is because the churches started in Kerala such as the Syrian Orthodox churches were not evangelical. They also preached the erroneous doctrine that being born into a Christian family makes you Christian and that you will be assured of salvation, Also, there was no proper teaching on making disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20). These things made the churches in Kerala very inward looking, driven by tradition rather than the Bible and focusing more on religious rituals rather than growing in personal relationship with God

    I know that St. Thomas came to Kerala to talk to the Jews in Hebrew as that was their language and St. Thomas didn't know malayalam. So, it was the Jews who converted to Christianity and then preached the message to the gentiles, mainly the upper strata of the society leading to their conversion too. Later on, these Christians started to marry, i.e., the gentile Christians and the Jewish Christians. This is the group of Christians that dominate Kerala. However, to say that the Orthodox and the catholic beliefs came later and the Protestants Christianity was already prevalent in Kerala is 100% false because Jews have a lot of respect for the dead eg. Bible says that Abraham bought a field for his wife from the Hittites to bury her. He didn't dump her body just anywhere but at a proper place. Similarly, David too buried his dead soldiers with a lot of respect and prayers. Therefore, according to Protestant belief where they don't pray for the soul of the dead people while the Orthodox and the Catholic have a lot of respect for the dead people as there is a resurrection of the body as per the Bible. Another contention is that Protestants don't have any images or photos of Jesus, Mary , saints, angels while the Catholic and Orthodox have it and accuse them that they worship those statues and images. This is absolutely BS because in Exodus 25, there are mighty angles called Cherubims located above the Covenant box and God told to keep the Cherubims opposite to each other in a facing position where God will come to meet them. Also, the temple that was built by Solomon had two angles in the holy of holies 10 cubits long which was enormous in size. These images and statues represent the presence of God and people in the Moses times were praying to God and not to the angles. The catholic and the Orthodox have carried this tradition forward which was given by God himself to Moses and then later to Solomon as he was building the temple. Therefore, I would say that Christianity was an established religion in Kerala long before the Portuguese came here and because of the wrong teachings of the Protestant church that came with the British, the Christian community is suffering.

Another contention is that Protestants don't have any images or photos of Jesus, Mary , saints, angels while the Catholic and Orthodox have it and accuse them that they worship those statues and images. This is absolutely BS because in Exodus 25, there are mighty angles called Cherubims located above the Covenant box and God told to keep the Cherubims opposite to each other in a facing position where God will come to meet them. Also, the temple that was built by Solomon had two angles in the holy of holies 10 cubits long which was enormous in size. These images and statues represent the presence of God and people in the Moses times were praying to God and not to the angles. The catholic and the Orthodox have carried this tradition forward which was given by God himself to Moses and then later to Solomon as he was building the temple. Therefore, I would say that Christianity was an established religion in Kerala long before the Portuguese came here and because of the wrong teachings of the Protestant church that came with the British, the Christian community is suffering.

      the early church in Kerala before the advent of modern day Orthodox and catholic rites was considered as a "Judaised" and "heretical" form of Christianity as per the Portuguese...many Portuguese writer even concluded that they don't worship icons or statues...I'd say they were Iconoclasts in general which was at that time viewed as heresy by both the see of Rome and Constantinople..... And sorry pal The image of cherubims aren't equal to Creating image of God the Jews may have created the image of angels and cherubims but they never created an image for God or venerated it as it's written .. *You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below* Exodus 20:4

      @@ChrisElias5002 The portuguese were catholics and the catholics have always made elaborate churches with icons or statues in it so what you are saying doesn't match with the thing called heretical judaism. It has to be something else. The jews might have never created the image of God but they do have a tradition of extensively decorating their temple even the doors were decorated with the carved angelic beings, flowers, palm trees in Solomons temple, 1 Kings 6:32 and other places inside the temple too were elaborately decorated. So, it means that God loves beauty inside his temple/church. However, in the New Testament we know that Paul says," Christ is the visible image of invisible God., Colossians 1:15" Since many people had seen Jesus and He was such an iconic figure many drew Him while He was living and after He was no longer there. Since Jesus is son of God so in that sense there is no problem in putting up that image of Christ and also respecting that image. Therefore, to decorate a church with the pictures of Jesus washing the feet of disciples, Jesus forgiving an adulterous woman is no problem and should be encouraged so that people can emulate their God Jesus Christ.

    Here's what happened. There were Christians on the western coast of India for long time. What you and many others have is what we call historical short sight. When the Portughese arrived, they destroyed the churches of the local Christians. And they destroyed the recorded history of the St Thomas Christians. All of the legends point to Christian settlements in Goa before the arrival of the Catholics. Recently it's been proved. A wall in a church fell down and revealed a Persian cross dating back centuries before the arrival of the colonizers. The notion that St THomas came primarily to talk to the Jews about Jesus Christ is flawed. Because he is the father of all the Eastern Syriac Churches. One of the first gentiles to convert to CHristianity was the Assyrians. They were not Jews. And according to the legends of the Kochi Jews, they belong to the Bene Israel tribe and they migrated possibly from Iraq in AD50s. There were Jewish people before as well in Kochi, but not settlers. They were not lost tribe. They were very well connected to the Jews of Israel at that time by trade. Catholics came before the Portughese. Missionaries set up the diocese of Kollam before that. I believe it was a few Italian missionaries. The host you have invited seems like a good hearted person. But he is not very well versed in this matter. Please invite some Historians who knows what they are talking about. I could find faults in every line he has uttered from his mouth.

      To add to what you said… Saint Thomas converted a few Indians to Christianity. Those Indians were not Jews. Recorded data suggests Sankarapuri, Pakalomattam, Kalli and Kaliyankal Brahmin families. They were called Nasranis. They kept contact with church headed by St. Peter, the one in Rome and one in Antioch. Relationship with Antioch continued as it was closer, for 1500 years. When Portuguese arrived, the Indian Christians got exposed to the great East-West schism. Similar split mirrored on our side. Roman Catholics introduced Latin Catholicism. A section of Christian’s in India opposed to latinization and to Catholic principles and they are part of the oriental orthodox churches. The ones that opposed to latinization but wanted to preserve catholicity and their East Syriac liturgy, became the largest denomination, Syro Malabar Catholics. The new people that were converted by Portuguese were Latin Catholics. In 20th century, a group that was part of Orthodox moved to Catholic side, with their West Syriac liturgy and they are Syro Malankara Catholics. Orthodox side too had seen similar divisions in the last 500 years. In the later period, we began to see British introducing Anglican Protestantism in the 19th century and American and Australian missionaries introducing other forms of Protestantism after India’s independence.

Society was generally harmonious for centuries under Cheras and later dynasties. 2. Church itself spent its resources within the Christian society to strengthen. Western Christianity expanded with a military force in its side. Since the Christians in Kerala have no intention to go to war to preach, expansion is limited. Additionally, the church was isolated. I think this is the only church started by one of the disciples of Jesus, which is not a patriarchate. And yet, masses were conducted in Aramaic until 1965.

      Why Christianity didn’t spread like it did in Europe? Let me explain. There’s two ways Christianity spread. One because of the population growth and second by force. That’s how Greece, Rome and Latin America became Christian territories. That did not happen in Asia or in Africa. Ethiopia and Alexandria was Christian for as long as any other communities. They did not force it on others like it happened in Europe. The colonisers were already Christians when they reached new colonies. Is converting by force Christian? You tell me!

It fell from being the church that covered all of Asia to just parts of Middle East and just Kerala. Look at what happened to Orthodox Church. They were driven out from their territories back to Greece. The centre of Christianity for over a 1000 years was not Rome but Constantinople. We all know what happened to Hagia Sophia. Rome became the centre of Christianity because of the fall of Constantinople and because they forcefully converted people from other religions. Ever heard of inquisitions? Roman Catholic Church have a history of inquisitions wherever they went. Starting from Roman inquisitions to Latin American Inquisitions to Goan inquisition to Philippines. The list never ends! Secondly, The Christiana in Kerala always were powerful and rich. We had our own army to protect our interests. You can check records. In fact we carried weapons until recently. You can see that people who migrated to Idukki and Waynad carried this tradition till recently. Always had a dagger with them. And churches had Aayudhappura aka armoury in front of them. And our language was Syriac. Even when people started talking in Malayalam, the Christian’s wrote it in Syriac. This method was called Karshon.
