I know this video is old. Just wanted to thank you for your advice. My wife and I are deeply studying confessional Lutheranism. I got Chemnitz's Enchiridion, Loci Theologici set, and am considering some of the Gerhard Theological Commonplaces that are on sale at CPH for their Black Friday sale.

People who use the "mustard seed" passage to show the Bible has errors...I ask myself, would they apply such logic consistently to other books? Or do they have an axe to grind against the Bible?

I agree. Peterson massively complicated this topic for me years ago. Although it may have ultimately led to my returning to faith in Christ as Lord to get me thinking about God more again. I was living in a Buddhist framework when I came upon him.

To many abbreviated terms tossed around to achieve a clean understanding by a novice like myself. I understand some but not enough. I'm a former Evangelical who has left because of Trump and the evangelical worship of him. I can't be certain because not enough was clear here but from what what I thought I heard Anglican sounds like I might fit better there. Conservatism started the ball rolling in what ultimately led to Trump. I don't what to get mared in another conservative church in the mainline that does the same things. From this man's description that what The Lutheran Church is. Like I said I didn't really grasp enough from this fellow in order to be entirely clear. To many " in house" terms battered about the outsider like me doesn't grasp.

It is modern rationalism that has posited the division between the divine and the material. Even many Christians carry the deistic mental assumption that creation is separate from God and running on its own. But the scriptural view from Genesis on is that God has willed into existence creation and sustains it moment by moment. The material is always contingent upon the divine Source. Everything is by his will, either his direct intervening will or his permissive will. Even the choices which humans are delegated to make as creatures reflecting his image exist completely within the parameters that he has set. He knows all pasts, presents, and futures (including alternative futures) and works all things for the ultimate good. There is no distance between the Mind of God and the minds of people, between the Word and Breath of God and the lives we live.

I've been really torn between Catholicism and Anglicanism because I got a rosary and did research and found convicting views so I just want to do whatever pleases God the most

So in other words, Protestants removed them from between the front and back covers of their bibles!

I'd love it if you discussed the more practical aspects of the Mystical Union!

Acts 7:38 church in the wilderness ( woman in the wilderness) 12 tribes or 12 star EU? It would make more sense to be 7 like seven Churchrs of Christians acts 11:26 but it's Israel of God the 144,000. 2esdras. Mary vestal virgin isis Rome beast of Daniel catholic system Greco roman little horn a nation I know not to make you jealous

This is super helpful! Please keep doing more on the topic of union to Christ!

I think that most people, including christians, don't look for Knowledge and Understanding... Also, there is a lot of envy... If professor of University sees that you know more than he, obviously, he will not to help you to be recognised...

I have come to the same conclusion Dr. Cooper. Romans 3 really just kills any idea that the law expressly refers to the Jewish law, as God justifies the Jews and the Gentiles by the same faith, one that is "apart from works of the law". And Gentiles are under the law (According to Ch 2:14-15).

Please do continue this series and go through the practical stuff also. This is super interesting!

You don't need any of this to know God. Be silent and know. All you need to do is sit down, be silent, and know. Debating views only gets in the way.

Yeah, Sproul is definitely Nestorian. He denies the Theopascite formula, that we can say that God died in humanity.

participate by conforming to Christ, not becoming God in any way.

Would the 2nd Council of Constantinople eliminate the Reformed position? It says that the difference of natures is only in contemplation.

So we are forgiven in repentance of our sins internally, and we are washed cleaned from them during baptism externally?

I love how your channel tackles topics most Protestants would never touch

Off topic: The pastor of the Lutheran Congregation I am doing cathequesis in, has a funny reseemble to Dr Cooper, just with a bigger belly and older.

I always appreciate your videos. God bless✝

Clearly Jesus was talking about The Rock Johnsson! Tsk tsk tsk.

The "fathers" have no authority in the Church of Jesus Christ. We contend for the faith delivered once for all. Everything else is dung.

If Luther was an Augustinian monk, do Lutheran hold to an Augustinian predestination?

I had told myself that I would never give up PSA, but it has become more difficult to hold onto it as I try to be faithful to Scripture. The primary motifs of the NT are redemption, cleansing by Christ's blood, and victory over death and sin. We understand Christ's death (in part) in light of Passover and the Day of Atonement, but there is no PSA happening on those occasions. I am fine with accepting PSA in the sense that the wages of sin is death and Christ gave himself up to death on our behalf. But that is not the same as saying Christ experienced the fullness of God's wrath toward sin (unless you understand his wrath in a certain way that is still compatible) or suffering our eternal punishment (even accounting for the qualitative vs quantitative difference). And I don't see how Christ can experience spiritual death without tearing apart the unity of the Trinity.

This series is fantastic. I've been reading Calvin's Ladder: A Spiritual Theology of Ascent and Ascension by Julie Canlis which has a number of overlapping themes with this series by Cooper, and especially Canlis's treatment of Irenaeus.

Very helpful. Thank you

You suck.

New Jordan B Cooper Theosis video dropped, what a wonderful day

you have done your penance for leaking 😜 underoaths album

Are these somewhat esoteric figures related to the German "Templer" (with an "er") movement? I heard it had a connection to Lutheranism from Robert Sephr. Very interested in that separation. Seems to have alot to do with Americanism.

I'm interested in seeing a Lutheran solution to the issue of ADS, making it essentially impossible to avoid partaking of the divine essence since God's essence and his attributes are identical. I think the East actually solves this with Palamas' EE distinction, but what would the Lutheran response be to this?

My broke down about two hours ago in college parking lot. I prayed to God about it, and I just drove it back to my dorm! Praise God! I can now celebrate with a video from the greatest theologian on the internet. May the Lord be with you, Dr. Jordan Cooper!

Once again, Jordan Cooper accidentally auto-uploaded at 12 A.M. since he scheduled this video in advance and forgot to set a specific time. I've made this mistake a few times in my videos

Were there any serious theologians who tried to bridge Reformed and Lutheran theology? I’m honestly torn between the two, and can see both sides.

I wonder if there are any prosperity gospel guys who used to be Catholic. This sounds like when they say "If you trust in God enough you'll get what you want." And whatever you wanted did not work because "you didn't trust in God enough and you need to trust him more."

Satan rules a false church from Rome after 1960. -3rd Secret of Fatima by Padre Pio

Mat 24.29¶Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. What's your interpretation?

Dr michael Heiser has a much more plaisable interpretation. I would encourage you to enquire. The divine council

Will infants go to hell if they die??

You don't believe in advocacy of the Heavenly souls??? Wow😮. Shoot. I don't think you people are any better than modern day catholics.

I think I'm going to become either Lutheran or Orthodox Catholic. 😭 I don't like the Sunbelt. I want to go home.

I think my ancestors were Lutheran and kept going to any place of worship throughout the generations. They were monotheistic, at least! I don't find any Catholic church that is Catholic! 😢 I don't understand why!!!

Catholics only can build their connection to early church with citation from the bible , others are left to refuse facts in defense The length of this speech is no quote from the bible Jesus told peter he will build his church based on the impression of peters faith and changed his name to assume a role of heading the church Mathew 16 Also Jesus singled out peter asking him to tender his ship 3 times with a question do you love me Remember Jesus discussed the church with Peter and told him gates of hell will not prevail against it yet you say it turned to dark ages only to be reformed by Luther No Mention of the essence of this in bible Peter preached the gospel in Rome and got followers who respected him very much and got to hold the faith despite persecution yet you say peter didn't go to Rome and who preached the gospel first in there? for paul has to admire the Christianity displayed by Romans in his letter to Romans before going there

You can't deny the fact that Martin Luther founded the Lutheran church

Babies r innocent. Lutheran tradition, not scriptual

Same cloth

Wow! Thank you. The depth of this is amazing!

Origen was neither! Like all the so called 'church fathers' he was just a philosopher who mixed greek hellenist teachings with christianity! We have the Holy bible which as Paul says will "FULLY EQUIP you for every good work" ( see 2 Tim 3:16,17 ).

Dr. Cooper is my favorite Protestant theologian on youtube. As a Catholic, I cant help but be in shock with how much i find that the Lutheran view of justification is so close to the Roman Catholic view. Union with Christ truly is what Justifies us. As a lay Catholic apologist, i often try to prove that the council of Trent actually teaches imputed righteousness. There is a legal, instantaneous, removal of wrath and guilt part of justification that comes from uniting to Christ through faith . Obviously , union with Christ also has an infused , healing, sanctification aspect also. Rome wants to make sure that people arent teaching antinomianism or easy believism. I dont think that Lutherans teach or practice antinomianism. I dont think that Rome in the 6th session actually anathemizes them. Neither canon 9 or 11 would anathemize Dr. Cooper and what he is saying here. We are saved by entering into and living in a relationship with Christ. This relationship forgives, heals, changes us and makes us at peace with God. Catholics, Orthodox, Lutherans, and the reformed all teach this. We are all more united than we think.
