Transcript

The standing, those stands, the spellings, the most snow, some things I love and I won't spend, spend spend. The new neo platonist wine Mom is making a big fuss. So the way it works is you have to request to speak, y'all, hold on, I gotta turn the air on. It's gonna get hot here. He's about to get hot. It's getting hot in here. It's getting hot in here. So put on all y'all clothes, two or three layers and sweat some mo what's up, y'all?

Welcome as you know, it's open for him? Where's this crazy woman? The way it works, guys, as you request to speak, When you request to speak, I give you the microphone and you get to come on and you get to say whatever arguments you want within reason, within obviously the terms of service. The toss the t os, baby, the t and them tosses. If you don't stay within the tows, you get toused out of here. Is there boy having fun today? It's a it's a

hot Monday. Because you put on more clothes. Everybody hit like and share. I really want the angry wine mom to come in here. I mean she was dipping into that Fransias since seven am, it looks like, and she's over here. She's about ready to tell us about Hypashia. She's explaining to me that I don't understand the great mysteries of neo Platonism and hypatia. And then I'm scared to debate the Pagans, even though we have offered open

forum all the time over here for pagans. The Pagans usually are the ones that freak out. They're like, I'm about ready to fight you in real life. Remember that one guy now now now the Australian pig. And now, the way it works, as you know, you guys know, is you request to speak, I give it the microphone. You make whatever arguments you want. Now remember typically we want to stick to arguments. My feelings are not going to be hurt. If you want to call and say that

I'm the worst person ever, it doesn't bother me. I'm sure many of you think that. Let's just get that established from the outset. I am the worst person on the Internet. I won that award last year. Chase Haggard gave it to me Worst Person on the Internet award. I've got it hanging up above the toilet, and so we don't have to debate that anymore. So I can see the debate about whose worst Internet man I am.

I'm the KGB sorcer. In fact, I have right here in front of me this wonderful gift that I got from my buddy Mark Hackard, and this is the Minox preferred This is the KGB's preferred Cold War spycamera. Pretty cool. It's an actual Minox spycamera. Comes with this cool leather spycase. It's the leather Soviet edition. And it's funny because when I put the picture up

with Jamie holding this, everybody thought it was a pregnancy test. No, we didn't go to a steakhouse and piss on the pregnancy test and then pull it out of the steakhouse, I mean. And it says in the description of the picture that it's a Cold War KGB spycamera. So what that tells you is that people don't read your descriptions. So if you're putting up pictures on Instagram and you explain in it in the description, you wasting your time

because ain't nobody reading no descriptions. And this is the this is the metal saying that the KGB would use right here, if you see this, to whip people. So when they got in trouble and they got arrested, they take the CIA man bag of whapa, they whip him with this little thing. That's not what this is. This is to measure because older cameras,

right, they don't have a focus. So if you're this far away from the if you're doing a document, there's little knobs on this thing that tell you how far to keep the camera away from when you're shooting down to the desk. So interesting with these old school cameras. Here, some nerd got on Timmy and said, let us do a KGB created camera. I didn't say that, so it was the favorite. It's their favorite camera. Western Intelligence use the mind us, okay, but that doesn't mean it's not the

favorite of the KGB. And as you guys know, I'm here as a KGB operative and sorcerer to under Dugan and Vladimir Lenin take down the papacy. So that's what I'm commissioned to do. I get paid in dugan Coin, which is a yet to be revealed crypto. It's gonna go public here in a little while. We'll have an ico launch of dugan coin and then you guys can just pay me a dugan coin directly to fund the NKVD takeover of America. See a lot of these, A lot of these track cats think,

oh you're KGB, nah Bra KGB went away thirty years ago. But what didn't go away was the NKVD. And I hope the track cats clip that right now because I want to serve my Lord Stalin as best I can. Okay, where is this crazy woman? Where is this woman? Harpet? This this harpy waking up yelling's harping on her freaking box wine that she's all doped up on. We got moms out here doped up on box one. So she's saying, I'm here. You gotta request us. You know

I don't see you in the request to speak. So the way this works, right, So take the Virginia slam out of your mouth, put the box wind down, take a break from the Franzia, and you hit the request to speak button and then I give you the microphone. When you guys get the microphone, you're gonna be muted. That's how the app works. So you gotta u mute yourself. I'm about to have a wacky morning DJ saying that's a monkey or a toilet flush. That means unmute, because nobody

ever remembers to unmute. Nobody knows how these spaces work, even though we've been we've been to this for like how many years now, least a few. So what's her name? It's not how patient? What's what's your name? Lisa rannaz In, Lisa, you gotta hit request to speak. I want to give her first disc because she's so mad. She said, I'm scared of her. She said, you're scared to debate. And I was like, okay, here, you can have the microphone and she said,

no, you're scared to debate. My big brother. Lisa requests to speak. I hope she's the one that called your tyrannical riner And you're arrogant as fuck. And by the way, you're awful person. And by the way, you need to repent. You need to repent Holmes barely regardless, you need to barely repent dog. You need to repent. Essay, Lisa, where are you at? You've been harping all morning like a good pagan woman ought to do. Yeah, So militant Thomas is saying that he wants to

come in. But yeah, I don't think spaces works for any PC or laptop as far as I understand, it only works on I'm gonna go to somebody else. If you don't come on here, Lisa were you? You're not in here. I'm in here. You got that frenzy a cloud in your vision. Baby. Maybe you're a wine aunt. Maybe you're two boomer to aunt. Maybe you're not a wine mom. You're a wine aunt. You don't. You don't how to work this thing. You gotta work it. Put my thing down, flip it, Robert sit, gotta work it.

Let me work it. Can The boomer worked a Twitter up up, a Twitter back flip, but the Vier sit, where are you at? You're talking so much shit all day long? By the way, so we had about five or six trads talking smack. I'm not talking about Christian Wagner. He did say he would like to do a debate. Uh. All these other track cats and Roman colics, about four or five of them.

They're mad, they don't want to talk. But guys, if you would hit like and share, we're about to open it up because this woman ain't gonna come I don't guess you just wanted to talk shit all day. But shocker if you guys didn't see it. We did a great interview with Pearl and Tim Gordon and Glenn, so you can go over here and that interview

is linked right here. That was a lot of fun something right there, occult feminism, how feminism infiltrated the churches, And actually that conversation turned out to be We recorded that several days ago and it turned out to be way more relevant to the recent drama on Twitter with Father Barberg and the Antiochian Ecumenists. So go check out that discussion because everything we talked about there applies to the principles that we've laid down with Rachel and other interviews and in my own

lectures on how churches get subverted through think tanks. In Geo's Foundation Money University Placement ARCon money, somebody was like, you call him the Greek church nastic because the arcons is a honorary title given to wealthy Greek patrons and prominent individuals. It's not talking about nastic arcons, so it's getting no idea what they're talking about. Okay, So this woman called me a coward all day long and it wouldn't show up. Shocker, a woman is behaving like a woman.

By the way, the other Roman Catholic dude that was talking shit all day, he did the classic move of you're all full of shit, your orthodox are full of shit, You're you're full of it, You're full of horsepoop, and then I called him out and then he plays victim. You're so mean, and look how behave dude? You just called everybody full of shit and you're mad that somebody called you back out. I've never seen you do a formal debate where you were charitable, total lie. The majority of

the debates we do are formal debates that are terrible. These don't count. These are goofy fun day debates. This is entertainment, infotainment. Maybe where are you at? I really want her to come because this was this was gonna be. This was the entertainment right here. We're about to get some wine, wisdom, we'll go. We're going to somebody else to maybe you can figure it out. George of Forrest Cooper. Preference is given to people who disagree. Got an un mute bra yep? Are you a just hey?

What's up? How you doing? Not bad. I think I just found your stuff. So this is all new to me. Okay, are you a disagree or man? It depends on the subject, short answer being coming from the American side of sort of the reformed movement, that's where I stand, But I don't know if I what my travels can say that it's the same everywhere I go, even in the United States. What you consider like reformed a Baptist in the Midwest is like Presbyterian in the southeast or Southwest.

Okay, so so you're saying Reformed Calvinists closer to yeah, yeah, anyone who anyone who engages in the subject, like we know that there's You've got your five points of Calvinism, and it's like, well, the label only goes so far. So the label of Calvinism because you're a Baptist, you mean, yeah, Like, which which part of it? Because I think it's almost like it's got so many subsects now, but it would be let's talk about just theology. It'd be a preference of sovereignty of God or

the free will of man, recognizing the tension of the two. But you said you're coming from a Greek Orthodox position, Well, I'm Orthodox, But I don't attend a Greek church. So there's a lot of Orthodox churches that are not just Greek, and the majority of Orthodox are not Greek. But yes, I'm I attend a Russian Orthodox Church Russian doctor, So I mean

they're They're definitely not common in the areas that I've lived. Where is the point of a difference between an American version of a Russian Orthodox Church as opposed to other options, Well, I mean, differences are typically gonna be like linguistic or kind of local traditions in terms of culture. Theologically speaking, sometimes there's a difference of emphasis, but we all possessed the same Niceno constant to Politan creed, and we all belay the same eight slash nine ecumenical councils.

So if you're saying differences between Orthodox Churches, the differences usually relate to if there's ever a schism or something like that. Most of the time it's something jurisdictional. Sometimes it's theological. But I mean the canonical Orthodox Church is all of the professing Orthodox churches that are in communion and follow the same canon law and the same patriarchal structure. So that's the Orthodox Church. That I'm talking

about Russian just happens to be a jurisdiction within that. But in terms of what you're talking about, Um, I mean, I'm curious if you want to get into the specifics of disagreements, like because I at a time where I was a Calvinist Baptist or Reformed Baptist, I guess you could say, and I went to Reformed Baptist church or maybe maybe a year and that's when I moved into Covenant theology and Presbyterianism back in about two thousand, about ninety

nine. So I was already a Calvinist by two thousand, ninety eight ninety nine is when I was getting into James White and reading a lot of Reform Baptist stuff and Reformed Baptist Confession and Spurgeon and all those guys. Um So, have you ever looked into the history of the formation of the Biblical Canon? Yeah? My degrees are in theology and philosophy. Okay, excellent, Well you sound like the perfect dude to talk to. I enjoy it. Yeah. So, um so, why should we accept the Protestant canon of

scripture? Why should we accept the Protestant Canada Scripture? Yeah? Not the Orthodox canon. Where's the difference between the two? Well, I mean the Protestant Church typically follows the masoretic text, so there's some differences in that minutia.

But we also have the Dutero canonical text. Okay, so is there it would it be worth saying that there is the poor canon and then there's the additional canon, Like the difference between what how does that have any play on something like soliscritura or authority of the gospels, Like do you see the addition of the what you consider the additional I would consider the additional ones, the additional canon, to be just as authoritative as the Protestant canon. Is

that the argument? Well, I would say, if you look at the Patristic tradition, they do try to prove doctrines from citing the dut canonical text all the time, So I would say they're useful for doctrine as well. But in the Orthodox view, they don't have the same emphasis and premisey that the Gospels do. So in the Orthodox Church, for example, in the liturgy itself, there's a priminence, a pre eminence that's given to the Gospels,

even over Paul's epistles. But we don't have a false dialectic to say that, oh, because there's a premacy given to the Gospels, that therefore means that Paul's epistles are fallacious or erroneous or something like that. Even Paul, within his letters says that this I say of my own opinion and not of the Holy Spirit. So even at times in Paul's opinion, he says

that not every jot and tittle is of the same level of importance. And so I don't have a problem saying that the duter canonical texts are less important than something like the Gospels. But that doesn't mean that they're not going to be useful, for example, in proving doctrines like praying for the dead. So that's one issue of the duer cannon itself. But the other issue is what is the epistemic principle that you have to know which is the right list

of books? And how do you have that without the historic church that chose that. Okay, so I'm just putting this all together. It's been a while since we've had a conversation on this layer, so I'm enjoying it right. Well, I'm not trying to put you on the spot, but you said your philosophy. You said your philosophy, student philosophy major, guys, So what's the epistemic principle by which Protestants determine the true canon of Scripture without

reference to the historical church? Would reference to the historical church be considered a negative or a positive? Well, I would say for you, it's probably going to be a negative because the people that put the canon of Scripture together don't believe anything of what you believe. It might be a little bit broad.

That would have to be a little bit broad because saying that we don't believe in any of the same things, you don't have to be more specific on that po Well, let's say, let's say the Classical Reformation teaching, for example, that people that deny grace alone, faith alone, solo scripture, you know, solo feed a those people do not teach the Gospel. So that would mean that all the people that put the Candida scriptsure together did not teach the Gospel. What did they teach them? I mean, I

don't I don't see the difference. Because they teach, they teach the or they teach they teach Eastern Orthodox theology. I mean, you know, we can go read these people, right, yeah, yeah, not very fair. I just don't know if I agree with your premise, because the well, the premise was a question. How could you disagree with the premise. It was a question or the premise that you don't believe what they believe.

Which premise. So if the early if the early Church fathers and the people who wrote, or even even the what we consider just even the Reformed New Testament or the Protestant New Testament wrote what they wrote all took place before you had Catholic, Orthodox, Reformed and so and so forth. So well, hold on. So the recording of the texts is not the same thing as you knowing which which books go into the Bible. That's two different things.

So I would agree with you. I would agree with you that the apostles were inspired to write down the autographa right, But that's a different that's a different issue. That's a different issue from you knowing what the specific Apostolic authored texts were because you don't have a time machine to do that. You have to trust in the testimony of the bishops that handed those texts down for many

centuries, and that produced the Canada Scripture. In about the seventh century thing, How is it any different than an orthopox position because we both received the same texts. Well, we receive it from a historic church. That's my point is that you can't divorce the Canada Scripture from a historic body that preserved it and made the normative decision as to what books go into that book. Yes, I agreed. You cannot divorce the people that we have now from

people carrying it on through time. Right, So what do you think the people who preserved and transmitted that text in the second, third, fourth, fift six, seventh centuries believed? Give me and give me give me a touch point where I can start on, like about what salvation about? Was alre we talking about? Like the lamps? Are we talking about? Did they believe in apostolic succession? Oh? Have you have you read, for example, the Cannons of Nicia, not for a long, long, long

time, but the only elements of it. So that's a good point. But you did read the Cannons of Nicia only sections? Okay, what do you think we're in the Cannons of Nicia? Wouldn't be able to tell you anymore. This is a problem. Well, I'm not talking about the Creed of Nicia. I'm talking about the cannons. That's different. Are we still talking about like um, because then they seeing creed how to deal with the

divinity and identity of price. Well, that's part of what the Creed dealt with, but then it also had to deal with heresy and some of the

other issues that they're dealing. Yeah, and the cannons, which I have up on the screen, deal with the sacrifice of the Eucharist, They deal with the apostolic succession, they deal with the episcopate, they deal with baptismal regeneration, they deal with the hierarchical clergy, they deal with excommunication, they deal with viaticum, or giving the Eucharist to those who are on their deathbed.

I mean, none of this is reformed Baptists, because we wouldn't be able to make the argument as reformed Baptists because what you call reform Baptist didn't come around for so the church what was in a blackout? I thought matt Jesus said Matthew sixteen, that the gates of Hadeus would not prevail against the church. Where was the church in these centuries? Who's still with the people? What people these people are orthodox. Is calling them orthodox and contemporary language

a little disingenuous? Uh? No, if I'm literally showing you all of the things that they believe that we believe. Let me read you Kennon eighteen of Nicia. It has come to the knowledge of this Great Synod that in some districts and cities deacons administer the Eucharist to the presbyters, whereas no canon or custom permits this. They should not give the Body of Christ to them that do offer. Also, it has been made though, that certain deacons

touch the Eucharist before the bishop touches them. Does that sound like a reform Baptist church to you? No, not at all, because it has to do it has more to do tradition and ritual than it does to do with theology and belief. So tradition and ritual and not the algia belief. You don't think that liturgy is part of the Algian belief? It is. I think that I think we're still dealing with the practices of man versus what is true? Interesting, So, where does the church get its worship service in

the first and second century? Since you want to talk about ritual, it's worship service. Yeah, I mean, you're saying that rituals don't matter. So wouldn't God have told us a proper way to worship? Don't don't Oh, sorry on that one. Don't say that I don't think ritual is important. I'm saying that rituals, well, you're saying these are bad rituals. And I'm saying that where does the church in the first and second century derive

its pattern of worship from? What's the proper way to do a church service? And how do we know that? Does the New Testament have a service? No? Oh, but the Apostles established worship. So is it Have you considered that maybe the worship services themselves or something that are not in the scriptures that are apostolically established, it would still be if they're apostolically established,

they're still partially established by the dictates of Man. You think that the Apostles didn't teach authoritatively only what they wrote, because Paul says, all the things that I taught in Ephesus for three years to Timothy, you pass those things

on. So you just told me, no, you only passed on they only they were only authoritative in the written To this day, we can I think that you're talking about authoritative written I'm thinking, well, you're just begging the question, because I'm telling you that the Apostles established liturgies, and so we worship the same way that they laid down that worship. You know, we can go read how in the first and second centuries the bishops of that

time wrote about the worship of the church. Right, you're an as ignatious cyprian, okay, And they describe the same type of worship that we do in the Orthodox Church, the real presence of Christ and the euchris and so in that argument, and so in that argument, you're saying that the Orthodox Church is the only church that follows that authoritative doctrine. Absolutely. Ah, So that's what and what does what does that have in relation to salvific principles

or salvation? Well, the Orthodox Church is the one true church, and your church is, as you just admitted, a recent invention, well more recent if you're going to call it an invention. Maybe that's a stretch, but I can understand it. Well, now, wait a minute, do you have continuity with the church that I'm talking about? Yes, yes we do. No, you don't what Orthodox bishops ordained any reform Baptist elder.

That wouldn't make that doesn't necessarily mean it's the same thing. So well, do you began this just but you began you began this discussion by talking about how many different divisions and splits there were in the world of reform Baptist and Calvinists. Yes, but that argument can be applied to all of Christianity. No, it can't. That's my point because Jesus said that the body of Christ would be like his body, indivisible. There's one Lord, one faith.

When Baptism as the nice increase says one Holy Catholic, Abistolic Church, one Catholic. Yeah, okay, so your argument, So the argument that you're making is that there is only one true church and that is the that's part of the argument I'm making. Yeah, how many bodies did Jesus have as a physical body, the one right and the Church is the extension of that incarnation of his physical body. Yes, so there can't be two, three fifty thousand churches. Do you believe in the noetic effects of sin?

I believe there are no edic effects of sin, but I don't believe what you think about the noetic affects of sin, because in your view, even after regeneration, the noetic effects of sin are still in effect, and so it should be precluding you from making any normative dogmatic statements. That's why the Reformed confessions all say that nobody can bind another person to their interpretation right,

freedom of worship, freedom of conscience. So then are you are we talking just about a difference in esthetic because you have no I mean, I literally write I'm not being rude too, I'm just literally just said that heterodoxy versus orthodoxy inside the church outside the church. So no, it's not a matter

of aesthetics. Okay, So then is it beyond reproach to say that the Orthodox Church views only people within are your position within the Orthodox Church only sees people within you or within the Orthodox Church to be Christians at all, and everyone else is on some form of heresy? Correct? Where's the line between correct? Where's the line between Christianity and heresy? The Orthodox Church? Well, so it's membership to a human body. Jesus's Church is a panthropic institution,

is not a human institution. And that's precisely what your heresy is. In the New Testament, Paul in many places says that the Church is the body of Christ, and you're saying it's a human institution. So you right there just kind of gave the game away. That's a good call for the second here, that's a good call. The point. The problem though, is that I don't know where you draw the line of who is inside and who is outside the church. Well, I mean, again, there's either

you're either Orthodox or you're not. So are you in community with the Orthodox Church or are you in communion with a recently invented group. What does it take to be considered truly Orthodox? Well, I mean it's not just being a member obviously, you also have to live it and believe it and you know, participate in the sacramental life of the Church. So I'm not saying you can just notionally think it, Oh I think that I'm Orthodox. No,

it's actually like joining the visible group known as the Orthodox Church. This is at which Orthodox Church is the right one, the one I just explained to the public, canonical Orthodox Church that exists throughout the entire world. It's the second largest Christian communion, so called Christian communion in the world. And

how many versions are how many different Orthodox churches make that same claim. It's because you don't understand this fundamental misunderstanding of what Orthodox theology and ecclesiology is. Different jurisdictions doesn't mean different churches. Man, you understand that the guy that Paul was talking to in ephesis, Timothy, that there's still an Orthodox Church in ephesis today that descends, that descends from Timothy and Orthodox Church from father

to father to father to the father. That's apostolic succession. Correct, that's Timothy's the Paul's letters to Timothy. I laid hands on you, Timothy, you lay hands on men after you because the giving of the Holy Spirit is transferred. And he says, don't lay hands on men lightheartedly. Make sure that they're good men who can pass on the entire deposit that I committed to you, which, as he says in acts, was three years day and

night teaching, not just written because he didn't. As far as we know, there's only two written letters to Timothy. And yet he tells Timothy to pass on the entire deposit of what he taught for three years straight. So the I think where the issue is going on here, I think where I'm gonna I draw the line on this one is said, I don't know if I would want to place I don't think. I don't think you can place salvation within man's institutions, even though where you keep calling it a man man's

institution. I'm telling you that Jesus said in John that the Holy Spirit would be given to the church. I mean, don't you think Pentecost was significant that he says the comforter will lead you and guide you into all truth. And you're telling me that at some point apparently the Holy Spirit left the visible historical church and then it had to be restored by whatever sectarian person you follow. Jesus said that the gates of Hell would not prevail against the Church.

The Church is the kingdom. It's a visible society set up by the Apostles in history. And so what you want is a church or a group divorced from that historical institution. It is not a man's institution. It's a divine institution. That's the point. Well, saying that I wanted might be a little disingenuous. Let's start there, because well, I'm saying, but if you, if you when I say you want it, I'm coming into understanding more and more about the Orthodox. Okay, fair enough, but it hasn't

been well, what I meant by you want it. What I meant by you want is not to impugne bad motives, but to say that your defense of the reform baptistposition would mean. That's what I meant by you want. You want, you want to defend the reform baptistposition, and that's what I meant. Okay, So then it is calling it reform Baptist. It'sself caught

causing it to become heretical. It's the lack of connection and communion with the Church in history and the heterodox beliefs that make it not a true church. Not the name itself. Yeah, we could go with a heterodox beliefs for sure. The connection to people, um, the connection. Yeah, But you just keep you just keep reading, lying, you just keep you just

keep assuming that there is no Apostoli succession. And I've given you two points already that the Bible itself was put together by these people, and that's my Paul says to Timothy that the Church is the pillar and ground of truth. He doesn't say that the written text of the pillar and ground of truth. And he tells Timothy to pass on this inheritance, this deposit by the laying

on of hands. That's a historical Continuitian succession. You remember the Old Testament, there's a laying on of hands and the giving of the Holy Spirit Moses, Joshua, there is Yep, there's the Father. Yep. I'm familiar. Okay. So the apostles are modeling that same structure for the spiritual Israel and laying on hands, not on the basis of biological descent, but to induct men into the Melkizedekian priesthood, because Jesus's priesthood is a continuing press beter

it, which is the Melkizedekian one Allah Hebrews seven. So then so then what is left for those people who exist in the world. I mean, I know, I know half the answer to this one. But what is it left for those people who exist in the world who have not had connection to or communication with an Orthodox church or there They're understand they're the Orthodox churches are for people who claim to be Orthodox are even stretching between Hey, by the way, um, I don't mean I don't I think the point that

the problem is the world is big. How do we deal with that because I think there's a solution to be had here. Hold on, you have to request to speak, So I'm not woman says I'm muting her. You have to request to speak. I'm not muting you. And also, by the way people are saying in the chat for Christian Wagner, if you want to come on, they're saying that it does now work on PC. So, um, spaces didn't used to work on the computer. Yeah, that's

what people are saying. But yeah, so I mean the question of what happens to people who don't know about Christ, we lately we leave that to God. That's not we don't know that, so you know God's going to deal with them and the way that God deals with them. But there is the doction of recapitulation, which means that all men do, by the virtue of the universal nature that Christ assumed, have a connection to Christ. But

um, we're not told about their ultimate destiny. But we know that it's our it's our duty to tell people to repent and come to the church. You can't you can't divorce. You can't divorce christology from ecclesiology. As my point, that's why the church can't be a purely human institution. Oh no, I agree there, it can't be a purely human institution. The different than the argument being how much of the Orthodox Church is human and how much of it is of God. But it's a good argument. I do appreciate

it, to be clear. When I were, my experiences within theology are

much more focused on Orthodoxy as opposed to like bloodlines or patriarchal follows. But then you're also looking at like, I'm sure you're you know, you knew exactly what I'm talking about because you came from some of the more reformed very and you went into an Orthodox I think I would like to hear how that happened and why you chose it. Well, I mean, I've got I've got videos on I've got videos on that, so you could go, um, you know, watch those longer videos where I kind of break that down.

So I won't, I won't restate that whole story, but uh, you know, I had I had a long time where I spent in both Calvinism and the Roman Calic Church. And so, to make a long story short, the Church Fathers, the formation of the Cannon, reading all the Eastern Church fathers and seeing which lined up with scripture ultimately was the kind of final decider for me on that topic. So then yeah, no, that

that makes sense. It's it's a it's a useful thing to discuss, especially as far as um as we as Christians grow out of that fourth grade version of faith into something a little bit more solid, meaningful. We have to look at history as a whole. Uh well, yeah, let's we're gonna give somebody else not going to be rude to you or anything, not being mean, but appreciate. Yeah. I really enjoyed this one. So yeah, well hop back on. You're welcome to chat any time or bring any

other issues or questions. Now, this woman says, This woman says, I have a requested to speak and you have me muted. No you haven't. Everybody can see how many people are requesting to speak. Okay, is the wine mom on the list, Lisa. No, she's not, so she has not requested to speak. She's saying, oh, you're not gonna let me speak. You didn't request to speak. I've asked you ten times to request to speak, so you're not there. She's like, look,

I request, I request to speak. I request, No you didn't. There's the list of people requesting to speak. I really would like you to come on. I mean, you made such a fracus today and you're obviously not on the list to request you not Maybe you just don't know have worke this? You just hit requests to speak And by the way, Wagner, you can come on too. So again today we're giving preference to people who disagree. Constantine just hit a mute, I think can you hear me?

Jane? Yes, sir, how are you? How are you? Uh? I'm I can't hear you? Speak up, be quick about it, because I wish you're the YouTube channels sometimes when I get the chance. Okay, I've always wanted to ask you this question, which is what is the

actual difference between Oriental Orthodox Church and the Eastern orthodoxters. I mean, I've tried to research about it, but I clearly cannot understand what the actual, you know, problem is between the two churches because I'm an Oriental Orthodox Church followers. So so again I would say, go go watch the videos that David and I've done. We've probably done five different streams on that. So

David Rhan is really good on this topic. That's his specialty. So if you want to get into nitty griddy, I would say, go watch all

the videos that David and I have done together. But really it's just a matter of the place of Chalcidon, whether or not we are wedded to the terminology of the younger cyrilophusis whether or not these the Fifth Council was good enough to reconcile the two positions, and then the place of certain people that your church considers saints, like Severus, which we would not consider a saint.

So those are the main issues of departure. But I would recommend to go watch the videos that we did with me and David talking, so let's see here. Thank you for that though. So this woman is still not here. She's made such a huge fuss all day and tell you then what request to speak? She literally is so she just she can't even figure out the buttons, dude, She's like, tell me what to do request to speak? It even works on PC now, So people don't have the PC.

Excuse, well, I'm not I don't have my phone. Okay, so I think we have another disagree or man, Nick, what's up? You

got it? Arm you bro? Hello? Hello? Is this our libertarian buddy that we had an argument with before, Yeah, I would just like to say, I would like to make the argument that the Orthodox Church sucks and rosy Crusianism rosary Cruisianism, the rosy Cross is where it's at, and the they Orthodox got it wrong in their lame and in a monarchic theocracy, I would create a new title of king Pope, and I would declare that all Orthodox Christians or heretics and I would have them burned at the stake.

And then I would create devices like a spiked coffin and enclose most of the Orthodox Christians and Baptists in them. And this would be part of the new forms of a program. But first, that's really funny. Angles are forgiving and I have declared it. So I will first let the Orthodox Christians repent before do you have an argument? Are you just you just? Are you just trolling all? And then I'll start the Order of the Cruciform Sword.

I like that because that we're getting into. We're getting into all right, I'm gonna boot your will be the only way. Why would you like, yeah, why would you even want to interact with me? Being this this ridiculous. I do like the idea of the order of the cruciform sword though, because that's from Indiana Jones, right, yeah, and actually that's Rotio Crucianism and and actually I was just joking and Rosy Crustianism, I think is what the cross of the rosa bar, the cruciform sword it actually is.

You say it was as well. I mean they're they're wearing Muslim hats, they're wearing fezzis, so yeah, but it's more like Rosa Crucianism because of the cruciform the rosy cross. Well, but I mean, okay, I mean that could be, but I mean Sufi's you know, they will they're kind of uh synchrotus, so they'll try to have you know, secret meanings for all these things too. So I don't know what spillwork Hadden is mine.

So whatever. Also in the New Indiana Jones there's a crescent that if you noticed in when the um there's that artifact it's like a it's like a dial that they go in the tomb that's like a crescent and that and that that's kind of like part of like this uh Satan worship cult thing that's going on where you have the crescent, the black sun crescent thing it's a it's in, it's in Egyptian um methology to the Crescent, whatever the hell that

is supposed to. Did you have a presentation, an argument, or a critique you'd like to make. Yeah, I just I just think religious fanatics that think everybody's a heretic is not politically viable for a humanist from a humanist perspective, why should we Why should we believe the humanist perspective? Well, a humanist perspective is basically that, Um, No, I didn't ask for our definition. It's not didn't I didn't ask for a definition. I said,

why should we believe it? It's not compassionate towards humanity, it's not good for humanity. Okay, so we should be compassionate. Why on your on your system, just give me the reasons why that's what we should do. Maybe it's true. I don't know to tell me why. Because the religious doctrines all over the world, and eventually theocricies go against Why should I accept the religious doctrines of the world that teach tolerance and not the ones that

teach jihad and death? Well, why should you accept your own religious So that's a that's a two. That's a two quote quay. So what's the argument from your position as to why I'm supposed to accept what you're saying? Argument is, do you remember the last time you called in? It was the exact same conversation, and you haven't made any progress since then? Do you not understand the question I'm asking. I'm not being mean to you,

it's honest question. I make the argument that theocracy eventually goes its own theism, it goes against its own religion. That's not telling me why I need people. That's not telling me why I should choose your perennialist tolerance religion, because it's do you know what? Let me ask you this, Do you know what a two quo quay fallacy is? Perspective? I want to know why the humanist perspective is true? Maybe it is, that's what I asked

you last time. You've gotten even worse than the last time. It is true because less people die and dying is bad. What's the basis for this? Do you know what a two quot quay fallacy is? Okay? Well, yeah, if it's funny. If it's funny, yeah, I mean, if it's funny, then we can just move on. So, uh whine, Mom, where you at? I thought you were coming? Request to speak? She says, Look, this is the woman calling me an idiot and a coward all day. Here's the exchange. Request to speak,

Hit the button. What point you have to join the chat? Goofus like Boomer needs it spelled out right, like literally, step by step join that request to speak. Put down the box. Wine. Let's see if she can figure it out. So we're giving preference to people that disagree. I know a lot of you guys always want to come in, call in and ask theological Q and a. UM. I'm not mad or anything, but yeah, let's have people that disagree with the takes that I have, people

that haven't called in. Bruce, Bruce Wayan, what's up, Bruce Wayan, Bro, I'm you dog? Hello? Yes? How you doing good? What are you chewing? A smacking? Yes? So I wanted to ask you, how do the Orthodox have assurance about salvation? Well, we can have assurance that we are experiencing the grace of God, but salvation is not just a past event. It's a past event and an ongoing event and

a future event at the in the escotoon. Okay, So there's no, there's no there's no assurance that you will persevere until the escaton unless you in fact do persevere. Okay, and um an orthodoxy, the sacraments are necessary for salvation correct. Normatively yes, if a child dies, if a child like the Innocence you know that are murdered by Herod, if a child dies in some cases like that, the martyrs, bautism, desire and all that.

But normatively, yes, the sacraments are absolutely necessary. Yeah. Sure. Um, let's say, for example, you have to understand why the eu Christ might be necessary, why confession and why baptism is like a necessary under normative curs circumstances. But welcome marriage and the other sacraments because it's a sacramental lifestyle that we live based on the estate that we enter into. Not

everybody enters into the marital state. So it's not like you've got to stack up all the hit points and lock all the achievements by getting all of the sacraments. So it's not a role playing game. It's just living out and participating in the sacraments that are appropriate to your station in life. Got it. And Jesus the Son is he's a god he's God in an orthodoxy, he's like a God being. But when he becomes a human, isn't he

sort of two beings at the same time? When he takes on let's say, you know, human nature, doesn't he like isn't he like God? No, he's a single but he's a single being with two natures. So this, for us is the teaching of the hypostatic union. It means that the two unions were united in the divine person of the logos that assumed the human nature. So we when the Church rejected Nestorianism after Saint Cyril and Ephesus and the disputes there, that was a rejection of the notion of any dual

subject in Christ. Christ is a single subject, a single divine subject, and the natures are dual. So how can the natures, let's say, unite? How? I mean, how is that possible? And what is the how is it? Because it's a divine person with a divine nature coming into time and space and taking on a human nature. How is it possible?

God? What is impossible for God? As both the Old Testament and the New Testaments say, oh so, just a question about like, you know, what is the philosophical necessity of let's say, God being tryun rather than a Unitarian. I think there's a good argument to be made for why

unitarian and diatic positions are metaphysically destructive, theologically destructive, and impossible. So I think there is an argument to be made for that, and it gets into stuff like the arguments against modal collapse, the arguments against absolutely vine simplicity, the idea that there's an exchange of attributes between the persons and love and energies, et cetera that occur between the fathers and the Holy Spirit that don't

require a created order. And if you look at somebody like Originism or like origin Originism is a great example because Origin thought that for God to be eternal and to be Father and to be Lord and to be creator required that he'd be eternally God, Lord and Creator. So that means that he had to have a creation that he was lorded over, and so you get this neo platonic and sort of you know, heterodox idea and Origin as an example,

you could look at Aristotle as well. If you look at Arisol's philosophy, he has a diad because he defines God as an eternal actualizer. And if God's an eternal actualizer, then there must be something other than him that he actualized. And so that would mean that an eternal actualizer is eternally moving or causing or actualizing a prima materia another world or whatever which is not Him. So that would be, as Basil says, next, Samaran a diad because

you've given an eternal attribute to the created order. So now you have it. Now you have a dual principle God. So unitarianism and diadism I would say, cancel one another out and are impossible. All right, God, She's just another question about salvation. So you know in Romans eight, you know, Paul says for those he predes also called he also justified, and

then he also glorified. Doesn't that just mean that, you like, once you're justified, you can't you're going to be glorified and you can't lose your salvation. Uh No, because there's also many passages that talk about the possibility of tasting the heavenly gift, being cleansed in the labor regeneration and falling away all lot of Hebrews. So um, I think there's a you can speak of a corporate predestination, which is the way Paul speaks in Ephesians. He

calls the visible church at Ephesus the predestined in Christ. So he's not writing to the elect. But there's also a sense in which, yeah, sure God knows who will persevere till the end and so on an individual basis.

God does know who the final elect are, but that doesn't mean that he caused them alone to be the elect, because we believe that God can create a world where there's secondary causes, and usually Calvinism is kind of hinging on this idea that there can't be secondary causes and God must be the immediate direct cause of every event. Yeah. So another question about um Orthodox tradition.

The Orthodox tradition is infallible, right, Well, I think there's aspects of the tradition if you're talking about what relates to divine revelation that are infallible, but not every quote tradition is divine revelation or quote infallible. So what aspect would you say is infallible, like I know, acumenical councils. Yeah, I mean any anything that would pertain to divine revelation, right, So, I mean there are there are canons in the councils, for example, that

relate to cities that no longer exist. Okay, so are we still baland to that canon? How I mean it doesn't exist? So um, there is a imporal aspect to some of the canons and the councils that I don't think equates to the eternality of the truths of divine revelation. So I think

that's a higher category. Okay. So Paul, and you know, multiple passages he talks about, like you know, keeping the tradition on Orthodox often use that you know, passage to talk about how it's important to keeping a tradition, etc. But you know, how do you know what the oral tradition is? And like you know which traditions he's talking about? What he says that you should keep the traditions of other It's and Thessalonians, whether It's

and Covinthians, because you know it, you know it. Yeah, it's not like a Roman calic mindset where there's a document somewhere that has all of them listed, or there's some secret a Gnostic tradition where you get it whispered into your ear when you convert. It's known in the experience in the life of the Church. And that's why there is no perfect list of this and neither Roman Calics nor Protestants have the perfect written list of all the things that

I have to believe. The attitude, the mindset is totally different Orthodoxy because you're gonna experience a lot of things that tell you about divine revelation and show you God, the lives of the saints, the liturgy, right, So it's not possible to have a fixed written list of the things that you have to believe, Okay, But like, how do you determine which one which?

Well, I'll give you an example. So I mean when I think when Paul's talking there, he's talking about the whole deposit of the Apostolic faith in Toto that he passed on to Timothy and what he passed on to the Thessalonians, right, So what that means is that something like liturgy is something

to be passed on. For example, in when when Paul talks to Timothy and he's talking about the traditions to pass on excuse me, the succession to pass on me, he says, I laid hands on you, you lay hands on in after you the laying on of hands there is connected with the passing on of the whole body of the faith, so that would include apostolic

succession as part of that deposit to be passed on. Also, liturgy is a great example of this because the Apostles, for whatever reason in divine providence, they didn't write down how the liturgy was to be conducted as far as we know. Maybe Paul wrote something down about that. But so in other words, the church is a liturgical worship itself is an attestation to this tradition that has passed down that is not specific in scripture, you see. So

liturgy is a great example. So you can go read the ancient liturgies and you can see as I pulled up there with Nicia, I mean Nicea is listing cannons that clearly show the Universal Church in three twenty five operates like the Orthodox Church. Huh, Yeah, you talked about liturgy, and I think earlier you said you had, like you still have the ancient liturgies of I think Saint James. Correct, you can read the liturgy of Saint Mark,

Liturgy of Saint James, Liturgy of Saint Basil. I mean Basil's a little later, but it's still ancient. Okay, So the ones that are written by the you know, Saint Mary again, Saint James. Howcome the Orthodox Church doesn't It does sometimes, it does, sometimes use those. It does sometimes, yeah, some hold on. Sometimes it uses them when it's appropriate.

But as church history progresses, because the pre eminence of the Byzantine Empire, most of the Eastern Church opted towards tending to do the liturgy of Saint John chrys system. So sometimes it's the most of the time it's Chrystostom, sometimes it's Saint basil Um. But Orthodox churches that are other patriarch its will still do those. A's why if you can go to Western right Orthodox churches

that do the the ancient Western right. Oh okay, So another question about well, I'm gonna I'm not trying to be rude, but we're gonna move on because like we've already done a bunch of questions. But I appreciate that. So we're taking, uh, given prominence to people who disagree. So this woman is still not here, no answers. So you can see talk smack all day, how dumb, how much of a coward, I'm socially

retard and then they won't come. Same with all the other Roman Catholics that all day long smack smack smack, Hey, come chat, come make your argument come. It should be so easy, right to dunk on the ortho Ros. Just come dunk on us dog, and then they don't show up. I mean, who else is like saying you can have the floor to talk as long as you want to make out of arguments. But nobody else is saying that that would would the wood David? Yo, let's say,

can you hear me? Um? Okay? I had a question, No, do you disagree? Hello? Yeah, do you disagree? Oh? No? Um? Are you sho? You go ahead? I mean, but I want to get preference to people that disagree, but go ahead,

okay. So, um, I had a question because I was looking into different realist positions and um, it's reading Aristotle, and I was wondering, um, what your critiques of there was Mondo's view of objective essences, universals, holomorphism and like that kind of stuff, Like what do you think you're critique with that of? That would be yeah, So you can read the doctor Philip Sherard paper on Immortality of Man and the soul. I forget the name of it, but that's a good critique of that. I'm not trying

to be rude, but we're not. That's not the topics today. So the topics today are atheism, Protestantism, Islam, pagans, cults, world religions. I thought our wine mom was going to call in, but she is. I thought I was promised entertainment, you see, and now I'm let down. Jordan, what's up? Well, the way you guys can support the stream via super chats through stream labs. Use the stream labs function to ask your questions sending your super chats right there by the way. Does

anybody mean to the Baptist guy? Nope. Remember when Dale had his meltdown this last week. If you guys didn't see the Baptist not Baptist, that was an interesting interview. I thought it was a just a discussion. I didn't realize that when we went there and showed up. I don't care that

it was going to be a quasi debate. So I want to recommend that everybody go watch this uh pretty lengthy debate that we have with Dale here the Protestant if you want it was me and doctor Branson in some Protestant guys and everybody's really cool. We had a good time. And then, for whatever reason, throughout this discussion, and the only reason I'm bringing this up is

that nobody was rude or mean to Dale. Nobody did anything mean. And then what happened was after that extensive discussion, he did an hour plus melt down stream that everybody whose orthodox is mean and awful and satanic. And this is the pattern that I see, right, which is that people make this big start of this big fuss. You can interact with him in a completely charitable, civil way. Nobody was mean to Dale. Nobody said anything rude to him at all. And what did he do? Oh? I was

person here as a victim. There's so many of you, there's so rude. He cried about it. Okay, nobody was mean to you. Man. People are gonna have to man up. I mean, this is just pitiful to act this way. And everybody can see when people act this way that it's ridiculous. Just like the Roman Catholic guy today, right, what did he do? You? Gordduc a fool of trash bulls horseshit? Oh? Okay, come on, in debate, you're so mean, can't duck,

can't do whether you're uncharitable. These people do all of the things they say is uncharitable, virtuous victims signaling dart triad traits. If the genie mgatachi, I can't pronounce your name, what's up hello? Um? I was wondering, Jane, just really quickly, because I was trying to study the Church Fathers, like, um, what do you think it's the best responses

like by the Church Fathers to pirniu is on slash academic skepticism. And also, um like post Roll's bracketing method because I've been trying to research I think like those methods because they've been appealing to me for a long time. I was wondering, like, all right, well, post Roles bracketing is still based on the notions of epistemic neutrality and that reality is not theory laden. So bracketing doesn't really get anywhere or do anything. It doesn't do the work

he wants it to do. And that's why later host Rol like wandered off into like quasi Buddhist views. Um, where do the Church Fathers deal with Purrhanism? Well, I mean Athanations has a book called agentes, which deals with a lot of like classical pagan arguments. But I would think that puronic skepticism is kind of easy and self refuting, so um like in its method of like epoch like I mean, in the modern time, I think it's

has been like dissolved into like fallibilism for the most time. People like people accept that you can't have no anything absolutely, so you know that they'll you'll book put like fallibilism as a charge you is like a threat to tag or does it not solve the self authenticating um foundation question? Still yeah, I think it would have the same epistemic problems that we always highlight with versions of evidentialism and foundationalism. Um. I mean, if you're if you're gonna be

a skeptic, you're giving up debate. And so if if a person wants to live that way and go that way, number one, they can't live that way. Um. But the point is that from the advantage point of apologetics, if a person accepts that word view, then they don't have anything against Christianity. So we've done our job right. Our job is not to

uh put out the official refutation of every possible position. If our job our job is to show the positions to be absurd, and if they surrender objective logic, debate, certitude, et cetera, all those kinds of basic principles, then I mean we've done our job as an apologist. Skepticism is not

a real viable position. It's it's really a surrendering. Well, I mean, it's been like one of the most influential movements throughout Western philosophy Dykart Hume, you know, etc. Like um, that people have been treating it as like like almost a stats point. So like I feel like a lot of theism has grown it onticism. So and so every time they make every time they debate, they're defying that principle and proving it to be false.

Skepticism. Yeah, well, I mean, like yeah, they might have to like say it's like a method of inquiry, but it's like, you're right, it's not just a method of inquiry. It's a it's a world view. You're talking about puronic skepticism. There's no you can't have your cake and eat it too, right, This is what the epistemic nihilists try to do. They try to have their cake and eat it too, and it does it doesn't work that way because they're like in assuming a world view implicitly

absolutely every sentence assumes an entire world view. Yeah, but is there any way for them to get out of that by saying that they are there like that. That might be the case that they are assuming things, but they're suspending judgment about No, exactly, it's manifest. No, you can't know. It's that's a that's just bait and switch. That's that's lying because you can't utilize things that. Then you say, you don't have to justify.

Oh, my sentence is all presupposed logic and universals and all these things. But I don't have to give a justication for those because I'm a skeptic. That's just that's being a sophist, like in in the outline. Look, if they can do that, I can do that. Okay, Well I believe in God and I don't have to give an account for it because it just is. So they're basically just saying it just is. It's not just like it's just a conforms with their appearances. No, that's it. That

is to say that. No, No, that is to say that it just is. Well, why is it? Why am I supposed to follow with what appears to conform to my appearances or to my experience. Right, So it's begging the question to say that, well, uh, my skeptical propositions require entire metaphysics, but I'm not going to be committed to those metaphysics. Well, then that's just being sophistical in like in saying that you're like you're they don't get Look, they don't get out of this dilemma because they

say I'm a skeptic this. It's it's self evident in this sense that that doesn't work because if they can do that, I can do that. Oh okay, then God exists. I don't have to give a justification. It just is well, I doesn't that depend on the notion that they're saying it. It just is No, I guess no. Everybody has the same requirements

for justification. That's the purpose of debate. So as soon as they enter into the utilization of logic, universals, et cetera, they don't get to just say, but I don't think there are logic and universals, because nobody can know. That's just being again a sophistry. Can they at least question, like the method in which the transcendentials are No, because the making a sentence requires a certain making a sentence requires a certain kind of world, certain

kind of metaphysical structure to reality. Oh yeah, it's it's perfectly evident. I meant more that like the method in which the transidentials are derived, that we come to them in the first place, like holesteral, you know, the epoch method is going from the ground versus you know it's yeah, you're just you're just grasping for another human uh, system building project. The point

is that human system. Humans can't build this kind of a system. How are you gonna how are you gonna build an epistemology from the ground up? Given that just the fact that man's finite, Well, I mean, I feel like there's like a it's not that man is finite, but almost it's like there's semi infinite in that they possible. Wait a minute, but see now you've launched into a vast metaphysical idea. So so what is this? Is it skepticism or these obscure metaphysics of hust roll like which or are you

like them both? It's it's I feel like hustle is kind of like both, like it's even not like the ancient skeptics, because it's not like he has no mentaphysics, right, Like he was a transcendental idealist for most of his lives. Yeah, but but I mean then he would number one to be subject to the same problems of Kant. Number two, why did that take him into basically some sort of Buddhist position towards end of his life? And number three, the whole project, the bracketing is built on. They're

not being uh that that reality is not theory laden. So you're gonna have to first, I would say, solve the dilemma of um saying that reality is not theory laden. Sure, I'll have to wrestle those questions. Yeah, but I mean these again, the point though, is that these are futile projects, right, It's like, what's the point. What was the reference? Oh um? But something about Alexandria, about against the pagan arguments that you ran, oh Athanasius's book against the Heathen or ad Gentes. That's

great, thank you for your time. Yeah, well good, good questions. Yeah, we haven't had those kinds of questions in a while. Let's see here. I can't believe our my mom never called in Christian logos. This sounds like, is this going to be our evangelical guy that always like, how many profiles does this guy have if this is him? Right? The one man I had a question too about tell us down kind of what

your disagreements were with them. Well, I don't necessarily have a problem with a person who is newly converted trying to be a public person or something like that, because I was already kind of doing this stuff when I converted. And of course he claims that he has permission to be doing what he does, so I'm not coming at him on the basis of that. But the repeated pattern of, you know, working with and aligning with people who are

very hostile to what we do is one problem. He's committed to promoting an ecclesiology that I think is wrong. Every time we have a conversation about it, he basically just doubles down. The argumentation that he uses in the papers that he cites are kind of low tier. They're pretty bad. It's like citing the Old Testament about the fact that there was northern Israel and southern Israel as if that's applicable on a one to one basis to the Church. Or

the New Testament. No, the New Testament. We're told that the Church cannot be divided, so you can't use these Old Testament examples as if the church is Old Testament Israel or something. I mean, just the whole and the whole project is all about we have to figure out how Roman Catholics have

holy orders. And it's just silly because once you start digging into it, you find out that really this ends up being number one ignorant people that are ignorant of the Roman Catholic position because they don't realize that the development of the Roman Catholic position was that matter, form and intention are what you need for a sacrament, and that leads to atheists and Muslims being able to baptize.

So so they're gonna have to be consistent and either go in that direction with this sighting of Fluorovsky, as if we just follow Flurovsky because he's Fluorovsky, right, that's all they ever do is cy Fluovsky, and the guy that they all united himselves with went total Foremite liberal. So I don't know, I mean, it's just like a repeated pattern of bad behavior, and you know, and then he says, oh, they don't know how to use

transcendental arguments. The dude literally just got into this like what a year, six months ago, and he's like, Oh, they don't know how to do transcendental argumentation. It's just it's just silly pride. And you know, We've been super nice for that dude, and I've always tried to be kind to him, and he just wants to be a douche, so whatever.

Yeah, yeah, and he kind of goes for this like communal ontological argument over the transcendental kind of tag form that you use, and to me, I just see an issue with this, and he coins it like the communal ontological argument, which, you know, I respect people that going on doing this, but even me studying philosophy for three four years now, I'm still struggling and grappling with a lot of this. Yeah, I mean, he shouldn't he shouldn't be I'm sure maybe he means well, but he shouldn't be

doing it. It's gonna and what happens is that this least a disaster a lot of times. People that and all the people that he's aligned himself with, like they're essentially basically Petrodox and apost date Now so you know he wants to go on that conquest. I mean, it's just the problems that happen with a really young person that is a new new convert. So I would say avoid two loss bound. Yeah, I got you. And do you

have any like specific arguments against his communal ontological argument. I feel like that kind of falls back into natural theology. Yeah, any any type of argument like that would be essentially a natural theology type of argument. So I'm just going to ask the basic critiques that I would have of any any position that posits self evidence axiomatic principles, because they don't achieve, they don't achieve the

status of justification. Yeah. No, I'm saying agreed. I feel like, you know, in your transcendental argument for tag it can entail you know, the ontological argument. You can still use these arguments, Yes, you can make it, you can make for a higher justification there, correct, Whereas he's kind of pushing that away and kind of merging the Catholic kind of natural theological. Yeah. The whole project of everything, Yes, everything he's

doing is to try to make it an ecumenist Roman Catholic. And it's just like we've we've all been through that. Man, we already know all the pushes in the try to. We don't need you a new convert to save orthodox apologetics and to save Orthodoxy and give it Thomisum and oh we gotta.

I'm not saying he's giving it thomism. I'm talking about like I've seen this many many times, Like people come to the church, especially if they're academics or philosophers, and they almost always think, I need to save Orthodoxy with this thing. I need to make them Thomas father Deacon himself says that he used to be this way, and thank God that he changed his mind,

right, yeah, yeah. And the thing that I stumble across all the time is, you know, you think you have this bright new idea, or you see some thread line, and after a couple of minutes of study, a couple of months of studying, you fall right back into Oh, this has been in the church Father's for years. I just haven't studied enough. You know, a lot of this comes up as you're going so hopefully

on my channel. I've never misframed you or anything like that. If you ever do have any critiques for me or anything, I'm more than open does too. So yeah, and I appreciate that approach, and I think that on a one to one level too, Los belland was has always been open to discussing these things, but it doesn't get anywhere, and he just keeps, uh, you know, doubling down. So and he you know, continues to align himself with the people who again don't like what we do.

And so I wouldn't. I would avoid that, dude. Yeah, one more question, just with Pavlov Florensky too. Do you have any disagreements with Pablov Forensky. I talked to Bishop Maximus before and he's like, yeah, I'll never read that guy, Like, we don't really follow anything he says. And I was kind of looking more into that, and I wondered if maybe you knew I have. I've only heard I've heard negative and positive things. I know Laski cites him positively in one place, so he might be

insightful. But I've not read uh Florensky, so I can't say. But okay, yeah, the Pillar and going to Truth like it has some pretty good arguments, but I can see where he can maybe be stepping kind of on that border line of just kind of getting skeptical with it or kind of getting a little too far out there maybe, so I can kind I can kind of see points of contention there, but overall, you know, I was just wondering what your opinions were on all that. So I do appreciate

that, Jay, thank you. Yeah. And usually, by the way, people like Tilo's Balance or people that we helped convert, and then they don't listen and they go do their own they want to be on their own quest and they make huge mistakes and then they have to learn the hard way. So Ater eight, did you want to say something? No, I just u requestion in case you guys wanted to ask anything. Okay, Yeah, I mean if you if you know anything about Pablo Fornsky two or which

you've heard. I've been doing this for about four years. I'm twenty six, so I'm not going to claim I know everything. I'm definitely just trying to find sources that know more than I do so I can keep progressing. You know, I don't know too much. I've run a few things um that seemed okay from what I read, but that doesn't mean everything is So I'm just not qualified to speak on Okay, I'll get it. Alex Bain, what's up, Alex? Thank you for those questions? Uh, logos,

So those are good. I'm glad you weren't the evangelical dude that always calls in. Thanks. Yeah, Joe, I just want to know why you're a coward and you never want to debate me. Uh is this a real question? Yeah? You are that, you are there, You are a good argument. You don't make a good argument. You repeat the same argument for two years now. Every time you come on, you don't deal with it, and you kick me off, and you because because I don't

want to because yeah, I'm scared of you. Yeah, I've had you on infinite numbers of times because you have some mental obsession, Like why do you even want to interact with me? If I don't want to interact with you, why do you want to act with me? Just attention? Because I try to get my point across and every time we do. Yeah, but you just state the same You just state the same audience. You just state the same thing over and over and over. Here he is, so

are you gonna interact with Are you gonna run away? Yeah? I'm scared to be terrified, gonna run away. Okay, so go ahead and boot wildly. Yeah, totally coward. I mean, I just like the delude, Like, does anybody actually think that that is going to convince? Like if I was that dude, and I'm sitting there thinking like, how am I going to win people over to my position? How can I get people following me on Twitter and getting some good traction to think that this mode,

this approach is the way to do it. I'm just gonna give you a little bit of social media advice, bro, Like, just just strict social media advice, like this isn't working to make a new profile and to come with the same low tier droning on nonsense every time. It's just your way and everybody's time. Dude, Like how much this is what your tenth profile and you literally bring the lowest to an argument ever. So the this is open for him if you'd like to come on, eve something, if Genie

Migachev star Russian Mexican that sounds scary. I'm sorry, I thought you weren't going to come on. Just request to speak again, Yeah, so our you didn't request to speak. So here's our neo platonist pagan woman saying I've requested to speak. She has never requested to speak. She's not in the she's not in the quay. She's never been in the quay. It's amazing the Orthobro subculture. Now we got Cabarro talking shit. It's just unreal,

Like everybody, what happened with all the Romans? Did something happen in the Roman Catholic world today that made everybody just go ferle and get mad. Let's see what Let's see what old Ericabara is chewing on today. Something sweet. I'm sure to be very clear, and you're not sympathize with the disgust. Wait to be very clear, I truly do sympathize, and I've grown even more. I've growth even more. I don't know if he's talking about his

weight or if he's talking about his emotions. That the disgust of such people in the Orthobro subculture. The Orthobro subculture, let's just have our way and agree and be happy. Let's nuance our way through the failures. Now, wait a minute, you're the nuance bro. You and your carbohydrate companion over there that ditched you, y'all were the ones always talking about those nuance boo yo dog there's nuance bo I'm loft and bra and then you're over the joke,

Jake. Let's take this piece, buff piece, and in three months I'll finish my argument because a talking point three speed right. I sympathize with the Orthobros, but not their evil subculture. I think that's what he's saying. We are trying to fix a two plus two equals three error. So again, Eric, maybe Rome Catholicism is false. I'm sorry that you wrote a giant fat copy paste paper book last year that nobody bought that you thought

would make you super apologists. But how come Loften ditched you? Does that not vindicate all the stuff that we said about carbohydrate lofton. Here's Abara's whining today. It's a garbled I don't know what he's responding to me about, saying that all of the Roman Catholics on Twitter today that we're talking smack wouldn't come and none of them did. And so his garbled sort of whatever he's saying and what's he doing. He's whining and saying that I treat everything like

an MMA cage match. So again, it's just these people. Never ends with these people, and we all know he's soft because he's physically soft, right, I mean physiognomy test. Bro, you look like Bluto. So, guys, if you want to come on debate, hit the request to speak button. I will give you the I mean again, all of these, all they've done is bitch and wine. Isn't this amazing? This is always available? Here we are. How many years ago was the Barrow debate?

Five years? Six years? Lofton has thrown him under the bus. He's not on there anymore. They had a falling out, as everyone who's in associated with Lofton has a falling out. They get thrown under the bus by him. They get thrown under the bus on the way to the buffet. I take that back. You can't physically throw Abara under the bus. You could throw Abara onto the bus and it would destroy the bus, but you can't throw Eric under the bus. Candy Ibarra over there has done nothing

but wine and bitch for five years straight. So people are always like, what do you mean to I'm not mean to Roman Catholics. Every time we reach out and our civil and kind and nice, as for example with Tim Gordon, we make jokes back and forth. Tim makes jokes I was joking with Tim about having a lesbian haircut and my lesbian glasses. I don't care. But what happens is that people like Abara. You can't joke with these

people. They're so fragile. They freak out, they melt down. Remember whenever Erica Bara was crying that he said, quote, somebody memed him. Do the internet memes everybody? Somebody memed Abara? And he said, the Internet is making cartoon strips of me, cartoon strips. I don't even know what a meme is. Dude, aren't you like, how old are you not a boomer? Cartoon strips? What is this Dilbert cartoon strips they're making? He said, they made Internet cartoon strips of me. And I'm embarrassed

because my sons will see it on the Internet. We'll welcome to the Internet. I'm sorry that you got your feelings hurt. And this is nothing, it's nothing but nothing but an excuse for so many years. And look this is what five six years into this now and they're still using the excuse that I mean, How come Tim Gordon can interact with me? Absolutely fine. If the whole problem is that I'm mean and by the way, everybody's seen that. As we said about Lofton, he's thrown all of the friends and

people that he had with him under the bus. That's doesn't that suggest that maybe it wasn't my problem. Maybe I wasn't the problem in the Lofton situation. Maybe a borrow wasn't the problem in the Lofton situation. But they're still whining, still whining. Still, he's too mean to interact with. How come Muslims and atheists can interact fine over here? How come I'm gonna have a debate with Hikikachu. With Pikachu, you don't see Pikachu whining. Eric,

I'm gonna help you out here. Number one, put down the food. I'm being serious. I'm not being mean to you. I'm being mean to help you out. Get on the carnivore diet because you are healthy. Being that large and unhealthy literally will affect your mind. So you're effeminate, constantly getting upset and whining might have to do in part with your diet. I'm being serious. And if you do that and you figure out that, oh maybe that actually might help me, then you'll see that the jokes,

all of this, it's not ultimately from a mean spirit. We don't want to be enemies with you or any of these people, but I'm sorry that you can't take jokes. I'm sorry. I mean, I don't care if Kim Gordon I made fund of Tim Gordon, he made fun of me and then we talked and had a good time. You see how that works. That's what guys do, right. A man who has to disagreement another man can laugh about it, have a fight. You're fine. Maybe you can

even have a boxing match. That's a masculine way to settle least. That's what men do. Crying and whining on the internet that somebody who's mean to you and hurt your feelings is effeminate some others. Then you need a makeover. No, I'm not a soy man. I don't do makeovers. So you can take that over to the Roman Catholics and tell them to get a

makeover. That's not what I do. So if you want to come on and chat, I'm going to give preference to people that disagree following Jazmine, what's up, dude, I have no point to make, so I attack the person. Really literally been over here for how many years critiquing Roman Catholicism in probably hundreds of hours of video, hundreds of hours of video. And you think that I don't have an argument only that's called making jokes, dummy,

That's called rhetoric. It's part of debate. Go watch the eight hour response to Trent Horn. You don't go nothing but being mean? Dude, How are you going to survive in the troubles and strife that will come in the real world in your life. You're over here crying about mean on the internet. Unbelievable. What's up, dude? Hey, Jake. So I've grown up Protestant, and that's pretty much how I've raised my children, currently attending a Baptist church, and just you know, out of ignorance, we

honestly just did not really understand the Orthodox Church growing up. Never really heard much about it. You know, I have heard of different denominations conflicts, obviously, but so we're really new to Orthodoxy and we've attended a couple of liturgies, we've attended a few vespers and just trying to understand better and you

know, search out the truth. And one of the questions that both of my kids have I call them kids, but they're both in college different colleges is in regards to Second Thessalonians when it talks about like keeping away from brothers who aren't following the tradition. So one of the issues that they have is they're both very active in helping out the poor, in spreading the gospel, obviously the way we've grown up teaching it not the Orthodox way, and they've

both made attempts to seek out Orthodox churches. One of them doesn't have an Orthodox church really anywhere near their school. The other one does have an Orthodox church. But the complaint I get is they don't really seem to be very active in helping they don't seem very active in spreading their beliefs. But so it's like, well, if I inquire about Orthodoxy, I know wouldn't be a part of that, then would it be wrong for me to continue helping

the poor or preaching the gospel with our previous understanding. So it's like, well, just find a good church. I mean if that church sucks that, well, how do I continue to serve God? I want to do things the right way. Well, yeah, so I would say I would say, find a good Orthodox church and that might take a while, but I would not say that you need to keep preaching Protestantism. Namana namana.

By the way, to the guys talking smack, Reba Chrisostom, why don't you just come into the Twitter space and debate, dude instead of trying to argue with me over one dollars super chats. Just come to bate, man. That's what the whole purpose of this is that you can come into Twitter space. And they're saying that you can come in Twitter spaces now from laptop or PC, which you should used to not be able to do, which, by the way, means that that woman was completely lying when she was

like, I'll tried to talk and you wouldn't let me talk. You didn't try to talk, you never popped up in the request to speak. Just completely ridiculous. Probably was actually being straight up wine mom. Right. I think a lot of people are just drunk on Twitter, just talk just saying nonsense. Right, we're straight up Twitter. A lot of Twitter is the phronsia verse. Right, we're over here with some some Zimfidel. We're over here with some moscato. Right, go ahead, dude, Oh my bad,

I thought you were on here. Go ahead, and the munge and whatever you had your box wine this morning? Did you get a Virginia slam? Did you put a Virginia slam in your mouth? Did you get divorce today? I'm gonna get divorced. I'm gonna get a bag of bag of Virginia slams at a box wine and I'm gonna go celebrate after a couple of zing acts because I owned this mo follow on Twitter. That's what she's doing right now. I owned this foleo on Twitter. I'm over here at the

dinner because I'm a dinner whiteress. You want some on tighter todds, y'all need to come look at this mofoe I just owned on Twitter. He didn't even reply. That's what we're dealing with. This is the people that want to debate over here now. I mean, it's just total clown land. We've entered into the clown verse. Bro. I'm adding you as a speaker, But Joe box Wine da let out box Wine then ump ump before ninety four talking smack in the Twitter, come to debate. I think the internet.

The Internet just produces like a giant world of cowards that just like sit there saying nonsense and won't ever actually have their ideas challenge. Well, I'm sorry, namund jum whatever, like you can't connect every time you try to connect to another a wolf. Oh do wolves drink box wine? Box beer? Nice, that's what I'm talking about, box beer baby. Yeah, it's great to talk to you. I just wanted to debate a little bit about protesism, about some stuff I like about it. The simplicity of the

Gospel. It's really unique where you know, you believe in your heart, you confess with your tongue, and it seems like that that carries a lot of weight. But yet at the same time, it doesn't seem like it does over time. So what would you say about that? Well, I mean, confessing with your mouth does not mean that that's all you do.

I mean you'll notice that you know the rest of the New Testament. For example, you're told to be baptized, you're told to go to church to pray, right, do not forsake the assembling, as Paul says, So why would we think that you know? Because it says that. So here's this guy saying this is what people do. Will you not ever cover Revolt against the Water Modern World by Evela. I mean I've read evela, why are you a monolingual smooth brain? Yeah, I just stopped. I'm not

going to answer you, dude. If you're not going to come have a question, you're not here to actually debate. You're just trying to control. So I will absolutely refund your super chats and i'll block you as well. So good job, dude. Um yeah, So, I mean that's a good question. But I would just say that, you know, you can't reduce Christianity to these minimalistic one liners or the Romans road all this kind of stuff. Um, It's it's obviously a lifestyle, right, That's why an

Orthodoxy you go through one to three years of catechumenet. It's not a thing where you, um, you know, just confess one thing verbally like and this is part of the problem with Protestantism. Sure, I think your spot on with saying this a critique of this minimalist approach. Um. I would add too, it is important task ourselves. What does it mean to believe in and confess? Um? Typically a Protestant we'll just have that as the

worst. But believe in doesn't mean minimalistic, reductive. I believe Jesus is the son of God? Is that it what a son of God mean? And we we've talked about this too, and even my debate with Matt Slick in an analogous way to epistemic holism. All these terms refer to other terms. So who is who is Christ? What does it mean to believe? And it's the entire system. You can't just simply pick and choose and then

say, well, I believe. And what you'll notice is if you ask the Protestant, well, what's the minimum that I have to believe him of Jesus is the son of God? What what does that mean? That he's God? He's And then they start adding more and more stuff. You know, what you'll find is that these are unjustified and arbitrary assumptions from from their worldview. I mean, who determines how many of these things do you need? Do you need five? The Mormons are out, Um they believe they

am Christ? No? Not in the same way. Um, well do you have to believe us two natures? Do you have to believe that? You see? All these things actually matter? So to say believe in isn't to believe in the entirety of his revelation. I think that's an important point to bring out. And also um scripture itself teaches against the persepcuity. Right, So, Paul, many of these things are difficult to understand and those

twisted to their own destruction. So it also reveals to an unfounded, unjustified assumption that God wanted to give us, that that's the way God was actually required us to live, is to give us just a simple kind of instruction set um, and you just read it and and that's all that's required. Whereas Jay, you were pointing out, it's a life. It's an entire life. You don't get the pick and choose. It's not a system,

um, and it's certainly not. Let's strip it down to the bare minimum propositions and then I just descend to it and then I'm in, Yeah, good points. All right, let's move on to uhnmanda. I'm sorry, dude, you're you're not connecting. So hello, there we go. Can you hear me? Yeah? Go ahead, I don't well, I do want to and throw further, and then that's fine. If I am to speak, I will. It's so well. I wanted to ask you, Jay, a couple of questions. First, I spoke with some eighties materialist

dude. And I brought up in a way in my in my kind of of understanding, something like tag and and when I explained it is a coherent it is coherentism and that kind of position, he just replied, when anything can anything can be set up in a coherent way. So he said, a universe could explain itself as God. Well, now, first of all, no, it's first of all, it's not true that anything can be

set up in a coherent way. Second, the argument is not just that is true because there's coherence, because you could conceivably create a conceptual system that is internally consistent and coherent but has no relation to the external world. So it's a fundamental misunderstanding that the transit argument is not for an abstract conceptual consistent system like some sort of big math problem. It's an argument for a worldview

very different. Yeah. Yeah, Bonjeur talks about this too. We first of all, it's important to realize that our position isn't simply coherentism, right, But when Bonjeur was talking about coherentism, he said, there's a misunderstanding. It doesn't mean that the systems consistent. For example, you could have

propositions the tree is green and squares have four sides. There you know, well, people misunderstand what coherentism is in the first place, and what Bonjeur and his epistemology book said, what it doesn't mean is that things can be consistent. For example, you could have the proposition the tree is green and a square has four sides. That's not what actual coherentism is. The idea is that there's actually logical inference. There's no logical inference to the truth from

the tree is green, that therefore squares have four sides. So first things we need to get straight is what is even meant by coherentism is that all the propositions not only are logically consistent, but coherence means that they can be inferred from all the other propositions. Yeah, that eliminates a lot of stuff right there. And as Jay said, even if you get to that, if you can conceive, we construct something like that, you still have the

problem how does that system serve to be a justification? How does it even map onto the world. There's further problems than just simply oh, I created a coherent system in which every proposition of the system can be derived or inferred from all the other propositions. So if I got you correctly, it needs to have explainments every power also to the world or what what do you mean? Yeah, just let read the russ Manion papers. So I'm not trying

to be read. But we're gonna have to rush through some of these because they got a meeting. I have to go to here in a little bit. Um. So, but we have another caller here, Daniel. I'll go to Daniel BMX nineteen sixty six five dollars. Can you leave up your intros longer? Um? I mean they're pretty long? And then every all the boomers and people complain, who are your intros solo on? Because they don't know what a live stream is theosi's Pilgrim ten dollars, Cope and seeth

afn Boomers, You can't. I think you mean ancient faith radio. You guys can have patcha Mama Francis and we will keep Jay shout out to diet So to light to Mathias three dollars. I know evil has no autological reality as a privation, but how do we think of the devil? The devil's nature is good, So I mean this is you know, standard Orthodox theology

can read the cabind oceans. The nature of the devil is good even still, but he misuses his nature and continually sort of it's confirmed in the perpetual willing of evil. Sounds like he is the embodiment of evil. No, he is the angelic nature is even still good to see you have his free will the source of evil. Um, you could say it's yeah, it's it's the source, but it doesn't make evil real in the sense of having ontological existence. Did God know what Satan would choose? Yes? God is

omniscient. Rigavitch five dollars. I love all the content in my block because everybody's ignoring me in the chat um. I don't know, so I don't usually moderate my chat because I don't have time on YouTube, so I don't know if somebody booted you or muted you for some reason. Thank you for your content, Chris. I'm hope to be half as knowledgeable on these topics and how the world has run one day. God bless you and your family. Chris from Ireland. Thank you so much, Chris. Really cool comment.

Eric Samuel twenty sixteen, Jay, I'm interested in orthodoxy makes some part to your work. I'm going to be attending a couple of Orthodox churches in the next week. So thank you for what you do. Hey, thank you Samuel. Hopefully you find a good solid parish Canatic five dollars. I get that ADS thinks that distinctions equate to division, but what is their reasoning? Twofold? Most of the time they take it as a self evident principle

from natural philosophy or from just citing Aristotle or the Hellenic philosophers. Then they'll say that it has to be this way for some scholastic rational reason, and then they'll cite just Roman Catholic dogma and Aquinas or Peter Lombard's identity thesis. Is it because potentiality and movement would imply final cause and therefore in completion. Yeah, they think that if you introduce any potentiality at all, that it

means that God's changeable, has parts and as a creature. But if you look at Bradshaw's work and the other thess PhD theses we've covered, like the Cappadocians on simplicity thesis, and then it points out that originally when the debate was happening with the Cappadocians, divine simplicity was not being argued from the vantage point of reducing the attributes to the essence. It was primarily in first and

foremost a question of is God acted on or does he act upon? And so ultimately God is simple, meaning that his essence is not acted upon, It's not changed or affected by creatures. But even still, there is a reality of God having a reciprocal relationship with men, and Bradshaw is a great paper on that showing that the tomistic doctrine of God would basically make prayer pointless because God doesn't have a direct relation. There's no reciprocity between when you pray

God acting according to your prayers. Right ads precludes that, as well as things like the incarnation Stephen Harding ten dollars Thank you Jay, Thank you Stephen. So did the guy that sent two super chats araba, Chrisolsom being a douchebag calling me a monolingual smooth brain. How are you grasping Aristotle without knowing Greek? So, first of all, I don't think that it's absolutely necessary to understand the philosophers. To know every philosopher's native language, it would be

a great skill. I do think that Linguistics are a great tool and skill to have, but it's kind of like the biblical texts. How many biblical scholars know Biblical Greek and Hebrew and come to tarted conclusions and are idiots a lot. So linguistics is a great skill, but it doesn't necessarily grant you reading comprehension or depth of understanding and the nuance that you need to be able

to do metaphysics. Can you honestly say that you know Aristotle? I don't claim to be an expert on Arisotle, so I don't know where you're getting the idea that I never claimed to be an expert. I said the other day that I would defer to Tim Gordon or father Deacon Ananias on Aristotle, So I don't know where you get that. I think I'm an Aerosotle expert.

You think you're more intelligent than Aristotle? Do you really think that disagreeing with somebody or critiquing somebody necessitates or means that you think that you're more intelligent than them? I mean, that is almost so dumb of an argument I don't even want to reply to it. Orthodox dude. One dollar is gender a part of hypostasis? Or nature gender would be. I would say probably

both. I mean, I don't think we ever lose our I will never cease to be a man in the escaton, and you will never cease to be a Christ, never cease to be a man, or have his biological or human nature changed. So I would say both. Does the gender issues relate to a confusion of nature in person? It might have associations with that. Some of the people who promote it from Fordom try to go to neo platonic arguments that the fall into male and female was something that put us into

a lesser state of reality. And I think Maximus the Confessor is actually wrong on this point because he does kind of repeat the neo platonic position. So it may relate to that at times, But I don't think that the ultimate root of today's transhumanous weirdos are thinking about confusing nature in person. I don't even think they're those concepts are not even remotely in their mind. So God, the guy asked me again, do you think you're smarter than air assault?

Again? This is the fact that I mean you would I could find any person that's a renowned figure that you disagree with and would that mean that you think you're smarter than them.

Hello, father Deacon and Ias bitescribe five. How do you harmonize works with Grace and Ephesians? Precisely because both of those things are necessary? Paul?

Even Paul says, the very guy that wrote Ephesian says that the faith that saves you is the one that works through love. Okay, so he's saying the same thing that James says. It's a lot of times Protestants that presuppose, oh Ephesians must mean that there's no willing, no acting, no working at all involved in justification. Baptism is justification because it's generations regeneration and that's a work. So, um, I'm gonna have to go pretty soon,

I mean, it might, it might in some cases be extreme and not subjective, but I mean a joke rhetoric laughing to an impression I mean, is that bullying and
