I think Alex was PLAYING the Christian. I don’t think he was endorsing the idea of a God as much as he was just helping destiny understand that people aren’t idiots for believing in God and you can’t dismiss it that easily. Praying for Alex. Glad to see him being respectful of Christians

[@Michaelcharlesbradford]

@@cosmicmountain9168 Yes, in his video with Destiny, Alex seemed to be explaining the thomisitic idea of God, which is Being itself.

[@zackmac5917]

That's pretty much it but I wouldn't say Christian, he was playing theist. I didn't take it to mean he actually believed what he was saying, it's that he was giving Destiny a bit of pushback because he could see Destiny was so staunchly arrogant in his position, that he probably felt Destiny needed to be more open minded and consider it a bit more. Which, is indeed a reflection of Alex's position today. He probably wouldn't have felt this way before, but now he does as his perception and understanding evolves. So it's not that he outright believes what he was saying, but he is much more open to what he said being true and thinks it's worthy of consideration. To me it looked like nothing but an agnostic playing the theist.

Alex is only an "agnostic" at the level of his agnosticism regarding things like fairies and dragons. Or, perhaps, as agnostic as everyone who is just under 100% certain that god exists, is about the opposite position. Using "atheist to agnostic" to make it seem like he is coming around toward theism, is deceptive.

Alex didnt say that the universe is God, he said God is "being itself", that is indeed theist, in fact it's straight from Medieval Theology (Ipsum Esse). God is ultimately differentiated from creation as creator, and thus everything that exists exists in and through Him, He is literally "being itself" or "existence itself". People are looking for the Volcano, but everything they are looking for is created, and thus God is underneath it sustaining it, they wont find Him by analyzing created parts.

[@heremtica]

"I watch copious amounts of idol killer and Leighton flowers which has qualified me to be an expert in Augustine and Gnosticism" Augustine has literally nothing to do with gnosticism, and likewise neither does Calvin. "Gnosticism" as a category is already a misnomer, as there is no such thing as "gnosticism" per se, only fragmented groups deemed heterodox by early heresiologers like Irenaeus. To claim Augustine was influenced by gnosticism is patently absurd.

[@TEFFTPATTERN]

@@donovanloreman Gnosticism is quite literally a whole different Jesus and a whole different theology all the way down to the most core basic aspects of what Christians AND Jews believe about the Bible/Torah. Forget the Trinity, gnosticism goes all the way to claim a polytheistic spiritual world where Yahweh is a LESSER god that fell off as a piece of the goddess Sophia when she tried to reach into the depths of the secrets of the universe.

So to hear more in depth on the historical relevance is awesome and I feel can prove to any agnostic that this isn't a book of fiction.. that God does exist, but also if you can see all this darkness that's being exposed here on Earth during these trying times... You must surely believe light has to exist in the face of darkness as well. I've had many experiences in my life time from a young age that showed me that the darkness is real, as well as God too.

The reason the Gospel of Thomas, like the other heretical gospels, was not canonized is because the Bishops that were ordained through apostolic succession said it was not from the Church. Outsiders, not taught by the apostles or their appointed successors wrote and taught them.

[@GabrielReveals]

That's because anyone who teaches that God is within us, just as Christ taught, takes power away from the religious and political establishment. The gospel is that God is within us all and our minds must be renewed in order to "see" God and be unified with him. This teaching is lost to religious people.

[@josephposenecker9741]

The Gospel is the good news that God became a man and lived among us to bring us teachings we couldn’t have otherwise known.

I truly believe he would make a very strong Christian if he ever opened up his heart to God being real in the first place.

Someone should suggest to Alex to actually try and find out if God is real or not. Someone should convince him to pray and pray properly and then he should wait for an answer. I feel like a lot of debating can be kind of useless, especially if the other side is extremely convinced in their belief. And to try to understand something unfathomable and beyond what you've experienced in life based on your limited knowledge and limited human mind is a waste of time imo. You shouldn't try to intellectually understand something beyond your intellect. If he prays and Jesus answers, he can't deny anything anymore. And if he rejects prayer, then you can argue him against that since that means he isn't even willing to face God. You can't just intellectually figure out how sugar tastes like if you've never tasted it, it's like trying to imagine a color that doesn't exist.
