Why are some people so preoccupied with these 'chrch Fathers'! Jude, Jesus half brother said way back in 55AD "THE FAITH WAS DELIVERED ONCE FOR ALL TIME TO THE SAINTS" ( Jude 3) That being the case nearly all the apostles in thier epistles WARNED the brothers that there would arise in the congregations, clever men who would corrupt the true teachings & draew away discples after themselves' Please read Acts 20:28-30. I ttim 4:1,2. 2 Peter 2:1-3. 1 John 4:1. Sadly most 'orthodox' teachings fulfill these warnings! Reply

Wow. What a brilliant lecture this is! I did not know Fr. John Behr was such a brilliant communicator!

Very helpful!

If Christ had to open up the Scriptures for people to see the Messiah, then how could the Israelites in the Old Covenant be saved? I thought for the a long time that they had to have faith in a future messiah (even though it wasn’t as clear as it was for us) to be saved (and Scripture was sufficient in pointing them Christ). So without Christ opening up the Scriptures for them were they just destined for hell or saved in another way? This is a genuine question.

Thank you so much for uploading this! Father John Behr is a treasure.

Marker 1:02:16 Also, they have the Holy Spirit dwelling in their hearts guiding, teaching and counseling them-revealing the truths of scripture and the events they experienced.

Interesting talk. I don't think you can do math though. If you are objectively looking at numbers of Christians at the time of Chalcedon, you should use statistics of communities from that period, not merely subtracting slavs from current EO totals, whilst maintaining your current totals. This is a misrepresentation. Also, you would need to include all Christian communities who remained in communion opposing the smaller non Chalcedonian communities. This essentially includes all of the Roman world stretching across Europe and North Africa

This isn’t how to navigate Chalcedon from an OO perspective. This is how to sympathize with the Chalcedonian position. Flavian wrote a letter to Leo several months after Chalcedon and doesn’t mention being beaten; St. Cyril is recorded to have reconciled with St. John Chrysostom and using Socrates as a source needs to be premised with the fact that he was very anti-Cyrillian (this is the guy who, in slander, loosely ties Cyril to Hypatia); Dioscorus deposed Flavian because he also pushed a 2 nature formula at the home synod of 448; saying the miaphysis formula is an Appolinarian forgery is from Chalcedonian sources over 100 years after Ephesus I dogmatized the one composite nature formula especially with the Theodotus homilies and Gregory Nazianzus letter to Cledonius; the ACOE venerate Theodore of Mopsuesta, Theodoret, and Nestorius so that’s a big problem for obvious reasons of dividing Christ (just go read their writings). Well Michael, you did say you will anger your own people😂! Hopefully this one doesn’t get put in front of the synod habiby. Honestly, this talk is a tragedy of ignorance because you rely too heavily on biased Chalcedonian sources.

“You search the scriptures because in them you think you have eternal life. But they testify of Me, but you do not come to me.” It’s all about the Lord Jesus. All glory to Him.

The questioning is redundant and a poor oratory tactic.

I think we take for granted this idea that the quotes Cyril has are Apollinarian forgeries. There is no proof other than a bunch of Chalcedonians in the sixth century claim so. It’s one of those things I’m beginning to believe is a false accusation.

why does it say "atheism and universe" on the screen?

Beware. All that glitters is not gold.

Bless us Father John. I'm sure you may never see this but thank you for opening the Scriptures and handing down the Tradition, the Way. Yeshua Christos. Thank you for blessing us Father John.

to 'unveil' to remove the cover. brilliant

2015 Coptic film on severus of antioch called the CROWN OF THE SYRIANS

Very cocky after he gets that degree. Wants to make sure U KNOW IT geezus this guy. Just give us the data

Mind blown. What a great talk!

Good 👍

Prob the best teacher alive today, Orthodox, Protestant, Catholic alike!

😊😊😊😊

Why omit "for our sins" from the 1 Corinthians 15 quote about Christ having died? There seems to be modernist Eastern Orthodox resistance to that truth of Christ's sacrifice.

AWESOME POINT WELL MADE

its a shame how the audience really doesnt seem to get anything what amazing things are spoken

Thank you Fr Kaldas

The revelation (uncovering) that comes from the Scripture through the anointing (1 John 2:27) that is within versus the creation of it on the outside through symbolisms and sacraments. So people who don’t get by revelation within, get it from the outside to the inside. It seems like!

The high priests of Organized religion went backstage, changed their garments from priestly robes, & came back wearing suits (bankers & industrialists) & white coats (scientists/researchers/doctors). Your new religion is Science. It's the same people.

One wonders why it should be so bewilderingly complicated. Imagine that you are a first century Jew who has not encountered the risen Christ: how are you going think about Christian claims that Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, was/is the Messiah? You are going to think that they are obviously mistaken and probably persecute them. It was thus inevitable that the Jews would reject Christ- at least those who had not encountered the risen lord.

IF they are not monophysite why don't they sign chalcedon admitting diophysis ?

Hi Michael. Thanks for a great talk. I just need clarification on your view of Nestor please. Is he a heretic or not? God bless your ministry 🙏♥️

Christ is risen!

Lecture starts at 8:45 - everything prior is basically filler, also very poor sound quality

🙏🏽

If atheism is the default position, that means that naive naturalism is the default philosophy. This is that everything 'just is'. There is no reliable causality...that's a Christian theist legacy, there's no purpose in life...even if you make one up, there is no purpose...that's a Christian theist legacy. There is no point in studying the universe...it 'just is'. Rational curiosity is a Christian theist legacy. All you are left with is a dumb collection of deteminist molecules not sure of what they are or what they are doing, unable to entertain real awe, beauty or genuine discussion, as everything is just determined molecules.

Sound is not working!

If you can compare the Holy One of Israel to the trinity gods of the heathen, you are engaging in making your own gods from your own heart. God already said He alone is God with no trinities of any other number of gods beside Him. Why do you presume to make polytheistic gods in your own image? Why can you not believe Him?

False dichotomy after false dichotomy fill this forum and were it not for the foundation of Christ and the following of the teachings of the apostles and the prophets found in the scriptures, this is what the world would be left with in regards to the church.

Unfortunately we had some technical difficulties with the video on the night and so the video may be out of sync with the audio at times.

Is Atheism the Default Position? no.

This was painful to watch. So first they won't agree on the definition of atheism. Those arguing for the question define atheism as non belief. Pretty simple until those arguing against the question throw out that definition and try to substitute their own. By turning atheism into anti-theism you change the whole debate. Well, this is a philosophy debate so we use the precise definitions of the words, not some random popular definition. An atheist is not anti-theist. Atheist is clearly the default position, both sides agree on that, they only disagree on what the word atheist means. After that they ramble off into a bunch of subjects and never actually address the question and all of them turn out looking like buffoons.

YES

Hilarious, should we have a debate next on whether the disbelief in leprechauns is the default position? Disbelief is the default position to any and every unsubstantiated and/or extraordinary claim.

where is "how to read the old testament" ? I've been waiting for that one for quite some time

good reinforcement of humility. the sermon was really planned well and stuck to the main points. my preferred type of preaching. im surprised this doesn't have more exposure. is this Catholic church? in your question service - you fail to use a definition of pride to help answer your questions. Ephesians 2:8 and 9 say:we are saved by grace, through faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God lest anyone should boast. everything we have is from God. so prideful patriotism is sinful prideful fanatics sinful Mohammed ali's pride in being the best - sin. when all thanks is given tp the LORD, it is righteous. thankful to be in a great country thankful the LORD let my team win thankful God statistically made me the greatest. but even in Ali's case, he would have to presume the LORD never made anyone greater. Which he simply could not do. There surely could have been a God made, better pugilist. Pride is us forgetting that God is #1 and all we have is from Him amd Him alone. redefine pride to your congregation, and use your definition to answer their questions.. make sure yiur definition is derived from inspired word.

So I have found out.

Thank you for the upload! God bless you. btw the sound gets fixed at ~ 14:05

I thought that I would listen to it while I prepared my lunch but the sound is bad.

Great videos. Keep it up

New Atheists : Same as the old Atheists, just less willing to let the religious keep them quiet about it.
