@@dreaddshorts You’re just asserting your presuppositions on what “the church” means, does the scripture specifically mention the protection of traditions written by pseudo-Dionysius an anonymous pagan author that Orthodox build so much of their theology off of ? No, definitely not. Tradition is important but it needs to be tempered by scripture. If the concept of the church was as a physical body and if Orthodox claims were true we would expect to see certain blessings bestowed on the Orthodox Church but we don’t, the Orthodox Church is in active schism the Moscow Patriarchate and the Ecumenical Patriarchate are not on speaking terms and the division between theological conservatism and theological liberalism is forming another schism, overall the Orthodox are suffering the same problems that every other denomination is, the claim that orthodox are one church is dubious at best considering dogma is not universally understood or accepted across the churches in communion and even the very definition of dogma isn’t accepted universally. An example is Toll Houses, the Greeks will tell you overall that Toll Houses are not dogma but a lot of the Slavic churches will and both will use different definitions of what dogma is and isn’t to justify their respective opinions on the alleged church tradition. I heavily considered and defended Orthodoxy for a long time but ultimately they don’t have the philosophical, historical, and especially scriptural defense of each of their extra biblical traditions. Protestantism does indeed follow tradition we find it important, you’re just fighting a straw man of the reformed tradition because the reality is that you don’t actually understand it. The Church Fathers didn’t agree on much of anything though when they did we need to be sure to heed their opinions when it’s in line with scripture, but the fact that they disagreed and can’t build a consensus on most topics shows they aren’t infallible as individuals or as a community, so much of the Orthodox apologetic is to up charge the Fathers when it’s convenient and downplay them when it’s convenient. They’ll cite Justin Martyr to their defense but shy away when you mention the fact that Justin Martyr didn’t believe in the Trinity and that he thought Christ was a separate lesser god, but yet they still pray to him.

Fun fact, Revelation is not the only place in the Bible where 666 appears. 2 Chronicles 9:13 shows King Solomon receiving 666 talents of gold one year. It was also the sheer decadence of Solomon's kingdom that caused the Jews to forget God and worship idols. Also, Revelation describes 666 as being the number of a man. Coincidence? I think NOT! My interpretation of the Number of the Beast is that the Mark of the Beast is unrepentance and faithlessness itself, and the significance of the mark on your forehead and right hand is that the Mark (which is atheism and unrepentance) corrupts both your thoughts and your works.

This is very factual, and do not trust most dates for Bible book creation dates. This is found from two methods, our oldest copy, and from judging the context clues within the story (by the story itself or the language used in it). Our oldest copies, we know for a fact are no where near close to when they were written. Paper does not last long at all, and whenever cultures were defeated in ancient times their religious texts were often targeted. (Also The Christian God was never unanamiously accepted among the Jews, even during Moses’ time many praised false Gods so there wouldn’t be too many records at all). The second method is a bit more accurate, but still not very good at all. Mainly due to the fact that they do not have much to compare to from a similar time frame. It would be like finding a rotten orange, then finding 1 ripe orange and attempting to draw conclusions between them like “the ripe one has leaves on top, while the rotten does not, so the ripe must be older!”. The most likely guess for Bible book dates are Job/Books of Moses are quite a bit older than scholarly guesses, and the rest were likely written close to when they claimed to be and not far later

@@dreaddshorts Peace. No one denomination or tradition can claim to be the one true church since the church is the body of Christ and we’re joint to it by faith. Thus wherever there is faith, there is the church [Matthew 18:20]. There are many traditions which claim to stem from the Apostles. By the end of the second century simple details such as the date of Easter were disagreed upon by allegedly Apostolic traditions. An infallible revelation cannot contradict a prior infallible revelation and thus we should evaluate the later revelation of tradition by the earlier revelation of scripture. This is what Sola Scriptura means, not that Protestants deny traditions wholesale, but that we judge traditions using the scripture. Just as your Eastern Orthodox tradition believes the apostolic tradition of Rome to have fallen into error, we also believe you have erred and need reform! Salvation is by faith alone. It is impossible to do good works without faith [Hebrews 11:6]. James and Paul are using justification in two different ways. Paul uses the precise theological definition of being made righteous before God, whereas James uses it in the more general sense of meaning proven to be in the right, as seen in Luke 7:29. God certainly doesn’t need to be made righteous. Ultimately, you must not trust in your tradition for assurance of salvation, but instead look to Christ himself [John 6:47]! God bless.

In this way Jesus went to all three (known) realms to show he had won.

@@ikemeitz5287 "Corresponding to that" is in reference to 1 Peter 3:20 which describes how Noah's Ark saved 8 people in the flood. Thus, like the flood, the water does not save, the ark does not save, building the ark does not save. It is building the ark in the manner God instructed and then the ark going through the flood, much like saying the words of Baptism given to us by Jesus and using water completes the process to be saved. Without the water, the ark did nothing. Without the ark, the water is destructive. Without the instructions, the ark will not survive the water. Without the words, it is not Baptism. Without water, it is not a Baptism. In Colossians 2:12 it says that Baptism is sharing in the burial of Jesus, in which resurrection is also shared through faith.

When you take into consideration how large some ocean creatures are, then also consider how truly deep and dark the ocean is, and how little we know about what's down there...I don't find the plausible existence of a leviathan that farfetched. When you consider all the other literal miracles on display, the idea of a giant, mythological creature possibly existing seems like a miniscule concern regarding faith. In my opinion, of course. I've been a Christian my entire life, and at 30 years old, that isn't going to change or be challenged by one or two notions about the bible I may not comprehend. God bless you.

That's what I believe. Dinosaurs did not live millions of years ago I believe the earth is young and dinosaurs were around until the flood and then after the flood only the specific kinds of dinosaurs survived to repopulate. Alligators and crocodiles look like dinosaurs and the only reason they aren't considered to be dinosaurs is because it messes up the evolution narrative that is pushed.

For the Harrowing of Hell specifically, I believe it is true for the following reasons: - Heaven and Hell now are different than Heaven and Hell after Judgment Day: Scripture tells us that, in Hell (post judgment), people will be so wicked that they wouldn't ever want to go to Christ, which is why their punishment would be justified. However, in the story of the rich man and Lazarus, we see that, although the rich man was supposed to go to Hell (post judgment), he still wasnt exactly there as he begged Abraham to help him out, meaning he still wanted a connection with God. From here, we can figure out that, pre judgment, the dead who are waiting for Hell, still can choose God if given the chance - Jesus descended into Hell and people followed Him: As mentioned in the video, 1 Peter says that Jesus descended into Hell after His death but people followed Him from there (probably the OT saints). This would solidify the view of the "waiting room" before judgment day, mentioned above.

I think everything with Revelation is supposed to not be understood. It’s the closest we get to God speaking to us with no filter, no dumbing it down. Some symbolism is clear, the lamb being Jesus for example, but something like the 7 trumpets I don’t think we know the answer to and we can’t know the answer to. Even something like the Mark of the Beast could be the symbol of a company and buying the product would be recieving it, or a group or cult with the symbol being on a hat, it could even be the symbol on your avatar inside of a virtual reality game. I don’t think that means we are supposed to live in fear every day, I think it means the exact opposite. That we don’t know, but God does, and God and his believers win in the end. So just let go of fear of the end, and just trust because he has a plan

Yahweh defeating Leviathan rather reminds me of how Marduk defeated Tiamat. I always wondered if there was a connection there, literately or theologically. Also because of the use of "crush the head", which hearkens back to Genesis. "He (the serpent) will strike his heel, and he will crush its head." Recently had a sermon out of Peter. That was my pastor's interpretation, it was Jesus proclaiming his victory to the fallen angels. Funnily enough, I'd never heard that interpretation before. I always share that popular StarWars meme of Anikin vs Obiwan on the day after Good Friday "Actual Footage of Jesus Confronting Satan for the Souls in Hell" or whatever the caption is.

I might have (sort of) an answer to question 1. I’ve been reading Genesis recently, and when the book gets to Genesis 5 which is where Enoch’s life is mentioned what I got was this: Whether or not the people in Adam’s genealogy actually lived those literal number of years is secondary to the tension that the passage gives us. Right off the back of the Fall in Genesis 3 God has said that Adam and his offspring will die, and now his offspring are all dying off one by one. It doesn’t matter how long they live, (Methuselah lives 969 years) not a single one of them can escape the wages of sin being in the world. Throughout the reading of the whole genealogy, maybe the tension the author is trying to leave us with is: “will this person escape? No? How about this one? They’re living for so long! Oh no.. they died too.” But only one man stands out who is Enoch, and the passage tells us that Enoch “was not found, for God took him.” Enoch stands out among Adam’s offspring as the only man who does not die because the passage also tells us that he “walked with God”. In doing this the passage is offering us a little picture of the ultimate salvation from death that God offers to those who walk with Him. Then, by living through faith in the promise. Today only through Jesus Christ. In fact, if we look at believers today the gospel tells us that Christ will come to take us home. We will still die, but by trusting in Jesus, God delivers us from the curse of death like Enoch. We’re not really meant to know much else about his life, because that’s what I think the author’s purpose here is trying to point us to- his faith in God.

Michael S. Heiser really dives into these "mysteries" (specifically the leviathan and behemoth, the nephilem, Enoch, and some others) and discusses them with an ancient culture perspective. He also has broken down the entire book of revelation with all of its old testament references. (I forget whether that is on his website or on his website or a book) He had a podcast called the naked Bible podcast, has written several books, and has a website. Unfortunately he has died of colon cancer I believe but his scholarship still remains. C. S. Lewis' book " The Great Divorce* is a fictional book (please read the foreword) and great food for thought about the harrowing of hell.

Zoomer, 1) you quoted the wrong verse as a reference to Enoch. That verse is thought to refer to a no-longer-existing work called "The Assumption of Moses". You probably should have cited Jude 1:14-15 (which quotes 1 Enoch 1:9). 2) you called the doctrine of Christ's preaching in hell the harrowing of hell -- properly speaking the two are distinct. Notice, for example, that Irenaeus believed Christ preached to all who are in hell, but that he denies anyone left that place of waiting. (I'll get the references if you want.) The harrowing refers to removing people from hell, and was added sometime in the 4th century.

As soon as I saw the word "Dinosaurs" in the thumbnail, I knew you were going to talk about the two beasts mentioned in the book of Job (10:03-11:20). It is popular with Young Earth Creationists, and as tempting as the interpretation is to the average person who is a Christian and likes dinosaurs, you are right in the Bible not needing to mention the prehistoric creatures in the first place, as that is not the point of the gospel. I think this interpretation (and Young Earth Creationism as a whole) is an example of eisegesis.

I believe that the behemoth in Job 40 is most likely a sauropod dinosaur. The description of the behemoth, especially the tail like a cedar, fits well with a sauropod. If we also look back at mesopotamia history, you will find clues of dinosaurs. Such as the Mesopotamian monsters in Paris, which is a Mesopotamian cylinder with what appears to be sauropods fighting like giraffes. You can also find a stegosaur engravings at Ta Prohm, a Cambodian temple. What makes these significant to me is that it proves that God indeed created the dinosaurs, and that early humans saw them. It also proves there were dinosaurs aboard Noah’s ark.

The harrowing is probably my favorite story because christ is a redeemer and it only makes sense he would go down to hell to redeem the people that came before him, he is mankind's king and that means he wants for us to be in his kingdom. Nit to mention it parallels the story of soddom and gammorah wherein the angels are asked repeatedly if anyone in the city is good will it be spared, the number proposed getting smaller each time the question is asked. It's obvious that if he would be willing to spare the cities if they had ANY righteous citizens, then he would surely go to hell to redeem presumably virtuous pagans.
