The singularity and timeless that barth described is extremely strange. That sounds a lot like hinduism or buddhism. The concept of nirvana (not the band) is basically an afterlife where everyone is joined backed to the universal spirit, and its more a timeless state of mind than a heaven.

I'm really proud of you for fighting for the PCUSA. i have to admit, i never thought to take that approach for orthodoxy. p.s. I'm another reformed man, with a R Catholic brother and in-laws, and I'll say I sometimes wish i could be catholic. but I can't.

Re: musical instruments in church - most denominations that don't use musical instruments, have a group of the best-looking women the church can muster leading the singing. I've never met a man who could be led into sin by contemplating a pipe organ, although I suppose pride might be a risk. Seems like instruments are the safer route, though.

So women should stop being beautiful just in the case that a man should happen to look at her and not control his thoughts? Huh?

[@jimluebke3869]

@@TheWoodlandSeamstress There's a significant difference between beauty and hotness. Audrey Hepburn was beautiful but not particularly hot, for example. Are you honestly claiming that there is so little connection between the way women dress and male thoughts, that no one could have a reasonable objection to pole dancing as part of a church service? Sure, it's taking the argument to its extreme, but that your argument's logical conclusion.

The only way to understand Bath's view on revelation, is by searching for the "Analogia Fide vs Analogia Entis" conflict between Barth and przywara

[@apathyapathy8765]

Damnation was defined around St Augustine’s time as the Absence of the beatific vision, Catholics believe unbaptised children will be in limbo, the place where the Old Testament righteous stayed until Christ redeemed mankind, unbaptised children are damned in the sense that they will not have the beatific vision, but they have as a perfect a happiness a soul can have without the beatific vision, and it is a common belief that unbaptised children will be given the beatific vision at the end of the world

As someone one who is on his journey of finding christ after being raised in a non believing household and having held the long time belief that because my mom died so young which caused my family so much pain that I could not belive in a kind or loving god. I have since luckily come to find the light of christ in my life but I have had difficulty finding a church. My familial roots are in Catholicism but the idea of one true church especially after your videos just is not something I can belive in. Reformed used to scare me when I had a very limited understanding of it because the surface level explination of election sounded more like the arbitrary whims of the greek pantheon then a loving god who wishes to see man redeemed and even though I think only christ has the ability to redeem us from sin I can't understand how we as his followers don't have a responsibility and possibility to prove we are worthy of redemption. I know this is a long text and youtube is youtube but I hope my fellow brothers and sister in christ can help me find a greater understanding.

[@danoctavian8184]

1:26, no, it’s not, most evangelicals never heard of Zwingli 😂😂

[@federicus1517]

That does not mean he didn‘t influence them. In many instances (the view of the Sacraments) they hold Zwinglian views so it‘s reasonable to say that their understanding came from there as Zwingli‘s views certainly influenced a lot of the Revival theologians.

[@adjustedbrass7551]

Bro just exposed himself

[@tillulenspiegel4792]

I think if you want to understand Barths views on these theological topics you have to see that he is strongly argueing against the liberal theology of 19th Century Germany heavily influenenced by theologians like Friedrich Schleiermacher. This explains his low view of individual election and his denial of natural election. Because this enlighted theology was all about the religious feeling of the subject, denied the revelation in Christ and only accepted (natural) revelation in reason. But he also was not thinking in classical theological topics like you do, he was more influenced by the philosophy of existentialism. This also explaines his weird language and all the confusion in his texts.

[@josephbrandenburg4373]

10:46 this is a weird opinion. How could you possibly come to this conclusion by reading the strongly emotionally charged language in the Bible?

[@louannebvb]

That scottish accent sounded more british ngl

[@troyelisahughes1505]

This is the best example I have heard about Christianity and individual beliefs. When ships go out to sea if they drop their anchors in 100 ft of water they let out 300 ft of chain. That means the boat can drift 400 ft in either direction. Christianity as a whole is like this. We are all shaped by experiences in life. We might be more conservative or more liberal. However as long as the bible is our anchor and we are truly seeking out its truth I believe God can help us with the rest and shape us into what he needs us to be. Don't be afraid to share beliefs with others that are receptive its the only way we learn. Great content I lack any sense of where our (nerd)history comes from so I find this very enlightening.

[@WastelandArmorer]

Zoomer, in Deuteronomy 1:39 it says “ Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.”. The language is the same used to describe the very sin which Adam committed (eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.) I think this verse pretty clearly shows God does not hold little children accountable for sin, and also the context of the verse is they shall enter the promise land, which is a picture of Gods kingdom as well as a literal land.

[@aofdoom5030]

As nonresistant nonbeliever I have an honest question. Why does the imperfect and fallibility of human sources not apply to Paul or even the later church leaders who were the ones who choose exactly what is an official part of the Bible?

[@pawlaovicto7824]

22:38 the Catholic Church has a fest of the Holy Innocents (December 28th if I'm correct). If we think about it, Jesus was 3 days old, and was therefore not yet circumcised. So, if Jesus was killed in Herodes' bloodbath, would HE not be saved? (Since, as you said, according to Covenant Theology, Baptism is the continuation of the circumcision). I mean, there were babies that were not circumcised and were not only saved (according to the RCAC), but justified and sanctified. Dude that's so curious.

[@pawlaovicto7824]

Probably Augustine did some kind of mess with the doctrine of Salvation to say such a thing.

[@thelearningmethod]

10:58 you mean BEFORE the flood

[@danoctavian8184]

16:04 i really want to know from where you get the idea that reformed theology is a sacramental salvific theology. Because you are the first reformed guy i meet to state that, i know of no contemporary reformed theologian to say that, and when i read the reformers i don’t see that. I did not read John Knox (as a dutch reformed he is not that significant to me), maybe he is of that opinion, but from that single quote, idk about you but i don’t get that “baptism saves”. And then you have all the lutherans who throuout the history criticized the reformed tradition because of this very reason

[@redeemedzoomer6053]

So, whether we believe the sacraments save is… complicated. Calvin said the sacraments are signs, and the effect what they signify ONLY for the elect. So Westminster calls the sacraments “effectual means of salvation”

[@kuafer3687]

15:44 Ok that's actually hilarious

[@AltKuyperian]

Women in government is a bad idea for a plethora of reasons. If there is not a capable man to fill the position, then the society as a whole is failing to produce worthy men. But some general reason are more emotional instead of logical, more manipulable, an inherent inability to "lead" compared to men because of what the essence of leadership is, etc. There is also the general Biblical principles of the roles that men and women were created for, men being the head of household, head of churches, God the Father, Christ the Son, etc. while women were intended, even before the fall, to be subservient to man as helper; Genesis 2:18 _"Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”"_ Genesis 2:20 _"The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him."_ Part of the curse of the fall is for woman to want to be in charge of the man, clearly contrary to God's design: Genesis 3:16 _"To the woman he said, “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be contrary to your husband, but he shall rule over you.”_

I just don't get all this pre-destination nonsense

[@jeebusthegreat8819]

(This is probably wrong but this is what my confirmation class taught me and some pastoral blogs said so take it with a grain of salt) Predestination is a fancy way of saying that God is in control of the universe and that He has a plan for everyone and everything. Most Christians believe this as far as I know. The area of contention is whether God creates people who cannot or will not be saved no matter what, and this is called “double predestination” and basically the only people who believe it are Reformed people.

[@josephbrandenburg4373]

It's really difficult to talk about predestination without getting into extremely twisted logic, especially if you are constrained by a desire to keep God recognizably good. I'm not sure it can be reasoned out, but I don't believe in any of the five points of Calvinism anyway

[@jayasuryangoral-maanyan3901]

Basically since God knows everything and is all-powerful, free will fundamentally doesn't exist. So before you were born god already decided whether you were saved or not (predestination). Double predestination I don't remember very well, but I think it's related to us not knowing who is saved so anyone could be saved.
