Great stuff Mark. I took your threat seriously and did indeed watch the video to the very end lol 😃 - although admittedly I did watch it at 1.75 speed, which I do for pretty much all YT videos. Thanks for all the time and effort researching this and all your videos. Much appreciated matey. Also, I would love a video on the Robert Bellah book.

Thanks for this informative video

The study of religion has a historic bias in Christianity, and in particular, Protestantism.

Hey! I just came across this awesome channel, I really appreciate this content, specifically the videos dealing with Tillich’s work. Concerning him, I have a question and I don’t know how to answer it, maybe you can help me with it: Once one understands the framework and mentality of Paul Tillich, is is fair to say that he denied a physical/historical resurrection of Jesus Christ (the historical person)?

Shalom Iam indian also christian How to confirmation mary a Virgin

The fictional claim that Mary was a virgin was a propaganda claim derived from pagan myths of dieties who incarnate or reincarnate at will without any human sex. These myths were elevated to church doctrine to make the Jesus cult more appealing to a largely pagan audiences. This should be studied as propaganda not historic fact. The inconsistencies in the various Christian Gospels are proof that there was no Dr. Goebbels controlling the propaganda line, but that the Church simply cobbled together the Gospels from existing fairy tales, much as the Brothers Grimm assembled their story books. 🕎

Some said STUPIDITY?... If that was true... Luke 1:36-45... narrates that Mary visited her "COUSIN" Elizabeth... it should be narrated that Mary visited her "SISTER" Elizabeth, since no Hebrew word for COUSIN... So, why then, when the R.C.C. translated them into LATIN "AS IS" (Fratres/Sorores) knowing they meant COUSINS or RELATIVES?... so why then, the R.C.C. never correct them in the first place in the 4th Cent. A.D.?... well, that was the TRUE (Real/Authentic) STUPIDITY including the one who said it previously from his initial comment (@bernardauberson7218)... The Greek Scribbers/Translators of the 1st Cent. A.D. also did the same thing, they wrote "AS IS" (Brothers/Sisters), instead of COUSINS. The 1st German and English Scholars/Translators in the 15th to 16th Cent. A.D., also did the same thing, they wrote "AS IS" (Brothers/Sisters), instead of COUSINS. And, the rest of the World's languages, translated in their own Native TONGUE, wrote the same thing "Brothers/Sisters," instead of COUSINS. In conclusion, if that was the case, why does no one dare to correct the TRANSLATION into COUSINS" if that was true?... It should be translated... "Your Mother (Mary), and COUSINS are outside, looking for you." (ref. Mark 3:31)... but still wrote "BROTHERS / SISTERS." The TRUTH is, "BROTHERS / SISTERS" were the True Context and Meaning of the Holy Scripture (Word of God)... logically speaking... Anyone who ADD/S or SUBTRACT (take away) from this Book (written WORD of God / Holy and Inspired Scriptures including God's Prophecies) will ADD plagues to them, and their NAMES will be removed (erased) from the TREE OF LIFE"... (ref. Rev. 22:18-19)... Facts and Truth of the Matters, Biblically and Logically speaking... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen.

YES

For Me, matrix is Maya, Hinduism give us the better answer.... The Gurus give us the only salvation's... But we still in Kali Yuga 🤔.... Namaste!!!!

The Mary's watched where Joseph and Nicodemus laid the body of the Lord Jesus. They came back and found no body but the angels who declared that Christ was risen as Lord over sin, death and Satan. The Lord Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene, then to the other women, then to those on the road to Emmaus, then to the disciples in the upper room, etc. There is so much proof that the tomb exists, and that Christ's body was no longer in the tomb because He was risen. After that it is totally irrelevant where the tomb of Jesus is or was, but as we know the Roman Catholic church and others have made it a money making racket for people to visit what they 'think' is the tomb. It is where Christ is now that matters. He is seated at the right hand of the throne of God, everliving to make intercession for us in Heaven.

There's a difference between Confucius and Confucianism.

Nice explanation. Another problem is of course that if Jesus was the son of Mary, he would be of her tribe and therefore of the priestly tribe. But if he was the son of Joseph, he would be of the Royal lineage of the tribe of David. If Mary didn't get pregnant by Joseph, Jesus could never be the Messiah, because the Messiah is said to be of the tribe of David via Joseph. There is no way around this. But it is a nice attempt by theologians in those days, especially for believers who were not jewish, to make Jesus both Priestly and Royal. It just never works that way. It's a story that will never work.

Why do you say, “BCE”? What common with CE?

I suggest anyone who believes this chap listen to Brandy Pitre on the subject to find out why TenOnReligion is wrong. God bless, V

Seeing that she was 12 when she conceived, I'd say Yes.

In OT, God was someone always ready and visible to save Israelites. They could touch him, invite him for dinner, wrestle with him, and he would fight for them in the battles. I suppose he was getting old, and decided to have a son. Satan did not want to deal with two of them at the same time, it would be unfair. Why did God need a married woman to have a child? He must have taught that experience is important. This whole thing seems to have been concocted by an inept student of mythology.

Yes, all the unbelievable stuff is the work of God. All the believable stuff is the work of Satan. Intercourse is a satanic act. All Christians involved in such acts destined for hell fire. There is no salvation.

Who cares

Was Mary A Virgin? SHUT UP IF YOU DON'T KNOW!There is no evidence that JIZAS eve existed! EVEN THE NAME IS A FABRICATION!

love for me is a dialogical zone. clearing one's heart to hear another person. becoming undone and unknown to oneself. hmm...i think i will get gadamer's truth and method.

your channel is so important. i hear the both of you wrestling with how and where to fit into the world of religious discourse during the reign of algorithms. please trust that your content will serve as a silent beacon for the many in search of softer grounds on which to kneel. it has surely served as such for me.

i rewatch this conversation often. my thanks to you and dr. simmons

Not after he split her womb to be born.

Was Joseph cucked by God?

I really loved the concept of Animism and the soul that you brought up. Animated things in our world seem to have life on their own such as the sun, the moon, stars, wind, and rivers because they seem to move on their own, i.e. they are animated. When humans die they become lifeless or are no longer animated. When they are alive they have breath and when they are dead, before they begin to decay, they are essentially the same but without this breath. Thus, at least in my mind, the “anima” is associated with ancient Hebrew concepts of the “breath” or, in Hebrew, the “ruach” of god (e.g. god breathed life into Adam). It is my understanding that in ancient Hebrew thought you only have life when you have this divine breath. Finally, with Platonism in the middle of the Iron Age, the essence of our “anima,” or animated nature, became known as the soul. In Hebrew thought this animated nature or the “ruach” of god was also equated with the soul. Not sure if my thinking is correct but I sure enjoyed your video which got me thinking about the possible connections!

The Bible says! Mary had child,so call Jesus. A Mother can't be virgin 😊

This is wonderfully poetic mental surfing!

Amazing teacher, please never stop 😊

Yes was a virgin but had other kids afterwards

I appreciate you.

Could you suggest some books that will provide additional background to each of these discussions on the nature of "religion"?

Ce pauvre stupid man! Il n’ a jamais lu l’Evangile et veut donner son enseignement ! Il est gonflé ! Juste lire la salutation de l’archange Gabriel à Marie (Luc) … “l’Esprit Saint descendra sur Toi et la Vertu du Très Haut te couvrira”… là , le pauvre ignore qu’il blasphème et que ce péché contre l’Esprit ne lui sera jamais remis ! Il tient son discours de Satan lui-même , personne d’autre que Satan peut affirmer de pareilles insanités ! Malheur à lui !

I am not convinced, but I certainly am interested!

Thank you for your videos on P.T. When I was in college I read The Courage to Be (It was not assigned.) Its clarity and power knocked me over. A truly great thinker. I later was heavily influencd by Alfred North Whitehead. . He reconciled me to God by explaining evil. Grateful for both these great men.

Thank you so much for having this conversation and sharing it. Extremely valuable and fascinating.

Why is there not a chapter of Mary in the Bible?

Great video, really was a good supplement to my reading. Thanks so much for your work!

My pronouns are the/they but I did not choose them

I studied Tillich for a full semester nearly 50 years ago. I barely understood him then. Now that I'm old(er), I figure it's time to learn what I should have learned long time ago! I wish we had KZbin way back then!

God/YHWH HImself had SUMMARIZED all the EVENTS that His Son, Christ Jesus had done approx. 33 years on Earth... God selected only those EVENTS that Christ has done that have GREAT IMPORTANCE to the Salvation of Mankind to be written down by the Inspired Men guided by the Holy Spirit and leave the LESS RELEVANT Events which are so many that the whole world can not hold them if they were written down... (ref. John 21:25) Take Note #1: All N.T. Scriptures (Written Tradition = Gospels, Acts, Epistles, & Revelation) were Completely finished starting from 70 A.D. to 110 A.D. ... around 40 years to complete the MANUSCRIPTS in Hebrew-Aramaic and Greek Languages... and the ORIGINAL copies were sent to the 7 Churches of God in Christ in Asia Minor (presently Turkey) mentioned in Revelation, and they made manual handwritten copies and distributed them to their congregation... Take Note #2: ... there were other Writings/Books after 110 A.D. onwards such as The Gospel of Judas, Mary's Gospel, Peter's Gospel, Book of Enoch, and some Heretical books that followed, were not included after the Gospel of John and Revelation was completed around 110 A.D. or perhaps much earlier... Apostle John was the last Inspired Writers that God had chosen to write down God's WORDS... that was why God allowed him to die from old age... Take Note #3: ... approx. 40 years after Christ Jesus had died, resurrected, and ascended back to Heaven the 2nd Temple was destroyed around 70 A.D., then another 40 years, from 70. A.D. to around 110 A.D., the WORDS of God (N.T. Scriptures) were finally and completely written down in the Original Hebrew-Aramaic and in the Greek languages... AMAZING Historically TRUTH... Take Note #4:... the R.C.C. in the Council of Nicea (325 A.D.) took the Original COMPLETE Written Sets of both O.T. and N.T., then BINDED them together as a Book (Biblia) and translated them into the LATIN VULGATE... with invested interest by not translating "word for words" (AS IS) to FIT the R.C.C. Dogmas Narrative... That was the primary reason why they forbid others to translate them into their own tongue... not to see the difference or their bias... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen.

Forget these fictitious copper aged virgin births events. Go straight to the source of origins of virgin births, the golden & silver ages of Bharat. The viceless pure gods & goddesses, the deities of heaven all gave birth through the power of yoga. All were viceless and pure, it was the viceless kingdom of heaven. Later in the copper age, impure kings & queens would worship pure kings & queens. All religions remember heaven on earth.

What about Heidegger and Asian thought? I know Japanese Buddhist people respect him a lot

Didn't Jesus have brothers?

Not even in the LATIN VULGATE, the words "Brothers and Sisters" were used and not the words COUSINS, RELATIVES, or BRETHREN (Brotherhood)... Two (2) Gospel Writers (Matthew and Mark) ATTESTED to this matter but the R.C.C. totally rejected this matter... St. Paul warned us all, "DO NOT GO/EXCEED TO WHAT IS WRITTEN."... (ref. 1 Corinthians 4:6)... St. Paul also said, "Let God's CURSE (Anathema/Condemn Eternally) be upon those who taught and preached different Gospel other than what the Apostles had taught and received from them... (ref. Galatians 1:8)... Are the R.C.C. more better and knowledgeable than the Apostles of Christ Jesus in the 1st Century A.D.?... NOPE... They created many HERESIES (Blasphemy) against the Word of God... TRUE WORSHIPPER, worship God in SPIRIT and in TRUTH... without the R.C.C. Idols/Images/Statues and Dogmas of Blessed Mary... The True Worshipper of God (True Christians), loved, respected, honored, and acknowledged the Blessed Mary in the Biblical Way... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen

The R.C.C. preferred to be a SELF-RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE who knows more than the Apostles and Gospel Writers... Were the Nazarene Israelite Jews who knew the Family of Joseph, the carpenter very well, said wrongly to Christ Jesus, "YOUR MOTHER, BROTHERS, and SISTERS are here outside looking/seeking for you?" ...(ref. Mark 3:31 / Matt. 12:47)... There are 2 Gospel Writers (Matthew and Mark) who attested that they were Christ Jesus' MOTHER, BROTHERS, and SISTERS... and not BRETHREN or COUSIN or RELATIVES... Why does NOBODY use the word COUSINS in any English Translation Version?... Even in other FOREIGN Translations, the word COUSINS was not used in that passage... Even in the Catholic Bible with Imprimatur did not translate it into the word "COUSINS" if that was the true meaning of "Brothers and Sisters" in Hebrew or Greek Languages... Not even in LATIN VULGATE... Facts and Truth of the Mattes, Biblically and logically speaking... Praise be to God in Christ...

Ce qui m’agace dans ces discours insanes, c’est que ces beaux discoureurs tirent leurs conclusions de leur faible mental ( mental, mensonge et menteur, en français ont la même racine que mentir) . Mais êtes-vous gynécologue pour discourir de la virginité de Marie 2000 ans après sa Dormition ? Menteurs !De plus, prenez au moins en compte l’avis des contemporains de Marie á Nazareth ! Ce que l’Eglise transmet depuis plus de 2000 ans sans déformation est plus sûr que vos élucubrations insanes.

In reading some of Jeanine's work and a lot of prior reading about various ideas about ultimate reality like the book Hartshorne edited on "Philosophers Speak of God" and McEvilley's magnificent tome, "The Shape of Ancient Thought", the huge diversity makes me wonder what personal psychological factors/issues might be in play that influence an individual to favor a specific position. Positions like a personal/impersonal ultimate, what the "en" in panentheism means, God being "perfect", divine action, transcendence/or not, and so on. I've done a search for research on this but can't find anything. Does anyone know of scholars who have tackled this question?

Fascinating conversation. I wasn't aware of Jeanine's ideas but have started reading some of her papers and the introduction to the book she edited. Great stuff. I agree that the idea of evolution is an important one in thinking about God. In my view, the Divine Life is an evolutionary tale that is steeped in meaning and purpose. It is a narrative of what I call God-as-living where God incarnates (takes on finite being) in everything from quantum fields, their excitations into what we call particles, to molecules, inanimate entities, animate creatures, all the way to sentient beings wherever they may be in the cosmos. This all occurs in the Divine Mind so a Divine Idealism. One concept that I think should be abandoned is the idea of salvation. This came out of the phase of religious thought when the major religions emerged roughly during the axial age. It was a phase where world rejection was ubiquitous (see Robert Bellah's the evolution of religion). This was a tragic metaphysical mistake, in my opinion, because it sets up a horrible theology that casts a dark shadow on creation and God's competence as creator. It also instigates a carrot-or-stick mentality that is so destructive.

Among the five alternatives, mystical ascent, process theology, and Tillich’s ground of all being all have a very distinct, neoplatonic content and flavor. I would even argue that Whitehead’s process philosophy is a modern version of Plotinus’ understanding of reality, and just as Plotinus identifies being itself (or more precisely, that which transcends both being and nothingness) with the One, so does Tillich identify being itself with God.
