This is the first video in a series of talks on the Formula of Concord, which is the final document in the Lutheran Confessions. I discuss the question of sin and its relation to the essence of humanity after the Fall.
WOOHOO! AWESOME! I took FOC at Concordia Chicago just last semester and now I get to relive it all over again with the Legendary Lutheran himself. Peace to you Dr. Cooper!
Small correction, early on you confused the Peace of Augsburg, which guaranteed the freedom of Lutheran and Catholic princes to enforce their religions before the 30 years war, with the Peace of Westphalia, which ended the 30 years war. Good video overall.
thank you so much! I'm following a Book of Concord reading plan for this Lent and I'm just starting to read the Solid Declaration.
Midnight upload?
Yeah sure, I'll watch it.
That's a topic I was delving into a while ago and was looking for sources.
Thanks dr.Cooper for showing interest in those deep theological subjects.
Just getting into the FC in the last few weeks, cool to see vids on it.
I think there is a lot that you could talk about with the article concerning Christ’s Descent into Hell in relation to much of the Christianity in our American context which outright rejects that doctrine.
Any more information on this "traditionist approach to the origin of the soul" at 39:31, this new to me.
@DrJordanBCooper Can you provide me a source or two to read about souls being generated from our parents? I'm very much in favor of this position, but I don't know the church fathers well enough to know where to start. The reference is 39:25.
Aww snap this one looks like it's gonna be good. Lemme get my glasses and Skittles
My Great,great( I think fifteenth) grandfather was Jacob Andreas
40:12 could you actually expand on this idea of sin (or evil) being a deprivation of goodness? I've heard of this concept from roman catholic channels but not from a protestant, and it is indeed appealing to think of it this way.
I think this is basically how Augustine defines evil.
"For I was ignorant as to that which really is, and was, as it were, violently moved to give my support to foolish deceivers, when they asked me, "Whence is evil?" [241] --and, "Is God limited by a bodily shape, and has He hairs and nails?"--and, "Are they to be esteemed righteous who had many wives at once and did kill men, and sacrificed living creatures?" [242] At which things I, in my ignorance, was much disturbed, and, retreating from the truth, I appeared to myself to be going towards it; because as yet I knew not that evil was naught but a privation of good, until in the end it ceases altogether to be."
If sin is not a positive substance and sin is an accident then is the term sin nature not rather misleading?
"By accepting Jesus as your savior, you will go from being a child of the devil to become a child of God." I heard line used in a Baptist sermon once. It sounds like Flaccius would be a Baptist if he was born in our time.
Well, I think we should think of it more like this. We can’t produce good fruit in this life, so instead of saying we are a separate tree, Jesus is the tree, we are the branch. So because we are the branch of an incorruptible tree, we will produce the good fruit of the good tree. Much love everyone, God bless.
The elector of Saxon before Augustus was a great patron of Luther.
Minimizing the effects of the Fall on humanity leads to also minimizing the cross and the need for atonement and at the same time the elevation of our own powers and glory. The American church is unfortunately characterized by this "theology of glory." Man is lifted up while Christ is brought down.
Not just the American Church. This (Neo)Pelagian influence is also really strong in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
@@EricBryantIt would be semi-Pelagian at worst, not full blown Pelagian. Basically nobody (including Pelagius) is a full blown Pelagian.
So where does my great grandfather land on all this information ?? Jacob Andreas please
Apparently so. Even the Pelagians see a need for redemotion!
Jesus didn't have a succession crisis. He gave St. Peter the keys of the kingdom of heaven and asked him to feed the sheep.
All churches haved sucession crisis, even the Pope, in avignon...
