I do! I need to get the app on my phone. I think I keep missing messages on there. My username is chrism0089.

The Howe brothers -- Thomas Howe and Richard Howe -- are strong FG proponents who do good work in metaphysics and epistemology. See if you can get Thomas Howe's (very thick) Objectivity in Biblical Interpretation. It's his dissertation, so it's dense. There are actually some typos in it, too, but it's really a great text.

Oh, thanks for reminding me of this video! I forgot to clip out all the testing stuff at the beginning. I'm editing this down now into something easier to watch. Thanks, Simon! I'll put up the edited version tomorrow. (It's rendering now.)

First, you are very welcome! One of the reasons I'm so excited to have Tom working with the channel is to continue the Greek project much more regularly. So stay tuned for regular updates. As far as Hebrew goes, yes, you could learn that language the same way. If we're so blessed to be able to hire someone to do a Learn Hebrew by Reading the Hebrew Old Testament, we'll have that series someday, too. :-) Thanks for watching, and many blessings!

Be more accurate to say that once you’ve invented two biblically unattested covenants out of whole cloth, you don’t need much more in the way of mental gymnastics. Dispensationalism tends to prefer handling its gymnastics one tumble at a time, rather than covenant theology’s lump-sum approach. ;-) I'm hoping people will benefit from our exegesis here regardless of which extratextual theological system they happen to be working with.

I can't do that, either! 😂

@@GulfsideMinistries haha 😂 me neither 😂

We'll get there soon! We're doing chapter 9 next, and then the fourth warning passage (which is Heb 10:26-31). In the meantime, I have a five minute video where I talk about some of the big issues in that particular passage. You can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ2tn5yHZ6iWeaM It's one of the first videos I ever put on the channel, so take that for what it's worth, quality wise. ;-)

You're being a bit loose with your language. Causes *can be* temporally prior to their effects. They doesn't necessitate that they are. The cause may not be temporal at all. That is, the effect may be temporal and the cause not. In that case, the cause would not be temporally prior. I would grant that the cause can't be temporally posterior to the effect. Your objection is further complicated in that it doesn't account for the Aristotelian view of time, which is perfectly warranted and I think defensible. Third, you talk about "the statement for every event there is a temporally prior event" -- but defenders of the KCA don't make that statement. They tend to reject it, insofar as they think that the cause of the universe coming into existence is timeless. But set that aside, there's still another problem with your claim, which is that it misses what the KCA proponents are saying. Grant, for the sake of argument, your statement. The first premise of the KCA is that whatever *begins to exist* must have a cause. So we could, at least in principle, accept an infinite regression of past events, so long as the past events all came into existence. The first premise doesn't rule that out. The question is if the cause of the universe came into existence. If it did, it is subject to the KCA's first premise, too. But in the Second Stage of the KCA, defenders argue that the cause must be timeless and so isn't subject to the first premise. Thus there's no infinite regress. I know that WLC and others argue against the possibility of a real infinite regress, but it's important that they do so in the context of a philosophical defense of the second premise. They aren't doing so in a discussion of the first premise. All that said, your arguments here are much better than the mereological nihilism I was addressing in that (old!) short. :-) Blessings!

Thank you!

@@GulfsideMinistries you're quite welcome. A man of your mind would love a certain book i happen to have written. Jacob and Esau Two Nations and the Inheritance. Check it out

There are modern Greek translations, but the text base for the Greek New Testament is Koine Greek, which is an older form.
