TheoLogical [Scholasticism] pt6: Logic, Reason and Non-Contradiction
Scholasticism represented the golden age of Christian theology during the Middle Ages. Led by the great Thomas Aquinas, scholastic theologians sought to apply logic and reason to support key Christian doctrines. Aquinas was heavily influenced by Aristotle, the father of logic, and incorporated Aristotelian philosophy into his theological works. Aquinas proposed logical arguments, not just biblical citations, to prove the existence of God and His attributes. For example, he used the cosmological argument to prove there must be a first uncaused cause - God. Aquinas also used propositional logic to show how Christian beliefs could be logically reconciled. He took Christian teachings and translated them into a series of logical propositions that could be analyzed using the rules of logic, as defined by Aristotle. Scholasticism and Aquinas demonstrated that faith and reason could work in harmony. At its core, Christianity is a logically coherent belief system, not just a set of mystical doctrines. The scholastics helped strengthen Christianity by providing rational justifications for the faith. Their work continues to influence Christian apologetics and philosophy today. Scholasticism represented a high point in the long tradition of faith seeking understanding.

Heresy - opposite of Orthodoxy #shorts #history #christiandoctrine
Heresy is deviation from established and accepted religious truth that undermines moral authority. It is usually used within a Christian, Jewish, or Islamic context, and implies slightly different meanings in each. Heresy is distinct from apostasy, which is when someone completely renounces their religion. Blasphemy is doing or saying something disrespectful towards God or sacred things. In Islam, apostasy, renouncing faith altogether, is treason against God. It can result in being put to death under Sharia law. The study of heresy is called heresiology. A heresiarch is the founder or leader of a heretical movement, and a heretic is someone who follows or commits heresy. Heresy has plagued Christianity since the early days of the religion. It is one of the reasons that the Church formed an organized structure in the centuries after the death of Jesus.

Adventism in brief #shorts
Adventists. A 19th century schism. It centers around anticipation of the Second Coming of Christ, emphasizing belief in His imminent return. Saturday, the seventh day of the week, is the Sabbath. They base this practice on the belief that God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh day, establishing it as a day of rest and worship, from Old Testament teachings. They emphasize healthful living, advocating vegetarianism, encourage regular exercise and abstaining from tobacco and alcohol. They operate healthcare institutions and promote holistic well-being as part of spiritual practice. Education is highly valued, with a global network of schools and universities.
They place importance on prophecy in Daniel and Revelation. William Miller predicted the second coming in the 1840s. His prediction failed. A group led by prophetess Ellen and James White then formed the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Deuterocanon vs Apocrypha. Why Protestants removed Bible books: Video Essay
The words Apocrypha and Deuterocanonical books are often used interchangeably, but there are differences.
The term "Deuterocanonical" means "second canon." These books were recognised later than other books but were still approved to be in the Bible.
They were included in the Greek Septuagint, which was the scriptures most commonly used by Jews outside Palestine in Jesus' time, including those in the early Christian church.
They were affirmed as scripture by early Christians and considered canonical for over 1,000 years before the Protestant Revolt.
They are still included in the Catholic and Orthodox Bibles.
But did they challenge Protestant teachings?

Presbyterianism in brief #shorts
Presbyterianism. A Protestant schism known for governance by elected leaders and belief in predestination. Its origin is the 16th century Scottish Reformer, John Knox. It spread to various countries, particularly North America, with a significant presence. Key theological beliefs are the sovereignty of God, the authority of Scripture, and the concept of salvation by grace through faith. It has a representative system of governance, where decisions are made collectively by church elders called presbyters.
Churches are not autonomous but connected through regional presbyteries, synods, and general assemblies, called connectionalism.
Its covenantal theology sees God's relationship with humanity as unfolding through a series of covenants throughout history.
They were among the first Protestants to ordain women as ministers. They promote gender equality and inclusivity in church leadership roles.
Notable churches include the Presbyterian Church (USA) and Church of Scotland.

Lutheranism in brief #shorts
Lutheranism. This Protestant schism originates with the teachings of Prophet Martin Luther, a German monk and theologian from the 16th century. It emphasizes the doctrine of justification by faith alone, meaning that individuals are saved solely through faith in Jesus Christ rather than good works. The authority of Scripture is an important theological belief. Followers adhere to the Protestant principle of sola scriptura, meaning that the Bible alone is the authority for Christian faith and practice.
All believers are considered priests, with no official clerical hierarchy. All with faith in Christ who are baptized are designated priests and share in Christ’s royal priesthood. Every Christian has direct access to God without the need for intermediaries.
Lutherans believe in the sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion.
Luther's perspective on God's grace was part of his break with the Catholic Church.
The Lutheran Church believes that all baptized Christians are called to be priests, and therefore, all members are considered priests 2. However, the Lutheran Church also recognizes the need for ordained ministers to lead congregations and administer the sacraments 2. These ministers are called pastors, and they are elected by congregations and ordained by bishops 1.

¿Qué es el Imago Dei? ES #shorts
El Imago Dei. Dios nos creó a su imagen. Así reflejamos la naturaleza de Dios en nuestra capacidad para razonar, ser creativos, amar y formar relaciones.
Esta semejanza va más allá de la apariencia física. Imago Dei abarca nuestras almas, mentes a espíritus. A través de nuestra relación con Dios encontramos nuestro verdadero propósito e identidad para glorificar a Dios y disfrutarlo para siempre.
El pecado dañó nuestra capacidad de reflejar adecuadamente la imagen de Dios, pero Jesucristo la restauró. Restauró el imago de ahí en nosotros. A través de la creencia en Cristo somos transformados en su Hijo.
Similitud. También se refiere a la complementariedad del hombre y la mujer, reflejando únicas aspectos de la imagen de Dios a través de una masculinidad y feminidad dadas por Dios. La masculinidad y la feminidad son fundamentales para quienes somos.
El Imago Dei revela que los seres humanos tienen un valor y valor intrínsecos aparte de nuestra función o utilidad. Utilidad. Merecemos dignidad y respeto simplemente porque llevamos la imagen de nuestro creador.
Cada vida humana es sagrada por esta razón.

What is The Imago Dei? shorts#
God created us in His image; thus we reflect God's nature in our ability to reason, be creative, love, and form relationships. This likeness goes beyond physical appearance. Imago Dei encompasses our souls, minds, and spirits. Through our relationship with God, we find our true purpose and identity, to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. Sin damaged our ability to properly reflect God's image, but Jesus Christ restored the imago Dei in us. Through belief in Christ, we are transformed into His likeness. It also refers to the complementarity of male and female, reflecting unique aspects of God's image through a God-given masculinity and femininity. Manhood and womanhood are fundamental to who we are. The imago Dei reveals that human beings have intrinsic worth and value apart from our function or usefulness. We deserve dignity and respect simply because we bear the image of our Creator. Every human life is sacred for this reason.

Schism without Standards: Protestantism's Pandoras Box. Video Essay
Protestantism needs a Reformation. It exchanged orthodoxy for anarchy.
Protestantism's Pandora's Box contains empty promises of a return to the one true church, to pure Biblical doctrine. Therefore, it is inconsistent and fully hypocritical for Protestants to break from Catholicism over supposed issues of false doctrine, but then not address false teachings and contradictions within their own ranks.
The original article on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/Post/Schism-without-Standards-V7V5QNHRV
Of course, the Protestant movement cannot, since it lacks universality and harbours severe internal contradictions and disagreements.
Papering over these with talk of "unity" ring hollow.

Evaluating Martin Luther's theology and logic: Video Essay
Truth is determined by logical consistency and correspondence with evidence, not by the reputation of who proposes an idea. Martin Luther was a sloppy thinker and 2nd rate theologian. Like John Calvin, his god was a Calvinist too.
Few people are aware that Martin Luther wrote the 97 Theses before he wrote his famous 95 Theses. These were disputations against other theologians, describing the "Prophet's" views on free will, predestination, election and so on.
Original article: https://ko-fi.com/post/Evaluating-Martin-Luthers-theology-based-on-reaso-K3K1PZR0N
Let's examine 4 theses on Free Will, to examine the quality of Lutherfer's thinking, since these ideas are foundational to his theology. If his thinking is found to be irrational, contradictory and illogical, then his conclusions, and thus the credibility of his theology and its influence is questionable.
Any belief system, including Protestant doctrine, must meet standards of logical consistency and rational validity.

Islam is only understandable in Arabic?: Video Essay
While numerous apologists frequently argue that Islamic sources such as the Quran and sharia law can only be properly understood in Arabic or through the interpretation of approved scholars, these claims do not withstand scrutiny. Upon closer examination, such linguistic and interpretive arguments appear to be rhetorical devices to shield problematic teachings from open analysis than reflections of the actual complexity or nuance of the subject matter. If Islam's holy texts and legal system were truly accessible only to an elite scholarly class, they could not also be the divine guidance for all humanity that Islamic doctrine holds them to be.

How We Got the Bible - The Slow and Careful Development of the Canon
To discern truth from error can be a lengthy process. Determining the canon of Scripture, separating authoritative apostolic writings from spurious texts, was no easy task and took centuries of debate, discernment, and consensus-building in the early church.
There was no presumption of secret knowledge or fiat declaration by any one individual. It was not a matter of any one person's private revelation or dictate.
The biblical canon was not established at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. The canon was largely already in existence by this time, though some books remained disputed (the "Antilegomena").

The Reformation Brought Division, Not the Early Faith: Video Essay
The Catholic Church has substantial continuity with early Christian faith, as attested by early church writings.
The Catholic Church uniquely connects to origins, as evidenced by apostolic succession, recognition of sacred tradition, and continuity of belief. If Protestantism restored the original faith, as claimed, major schisms and contradictory doctrines would not exist.
https://ko-fi.com/post/The-Reformation-Yielded-Division-Not-the-Early-Fa-H2H5QLVOG
The original faith should be clear. Instead, Protestantism fractured into contradictory branches. No single branch is objectively the “one true faith.” All interpret scripture subjectively and have evolved over time.
Denominations like Lutheranism, Calvinism and Wesleyanism show this. Only Catholicism has continuity with the early Church.

Just a "lack of belief"? The Irrational, Logic-Free, Emotional Atheist: Video Essay
Too many atheists need to stop relying on feelings as their basis for atheism. The claim that atheism is a "lack of belief" is false. A common atheist lie. Atheism is a counter-proposition, often defended by this lie.
Propositional revelation sees Scripture as conveying propositional truth - things that can be stated, affirmed, believed or denied through propositional language. Scripture is more than poetry or symbolism; it makes propositional truth claims. The claim that atheism makes no truth claims is illogical (being a truth claim). Many, many, atheists claim atheism is merely a lack of belief. By this laughable logic, atheism can’t be true if it isn't a truth claim. All beliefs make truth claims. Secondly, if atheism is "just a lack of belief" then it is an "empty void" without any propositional content or logic. It could not be shown to be true or false. A feeling, basically. Atheism might then just be based on feelings. Feelings aren't true. They aren't a logic claim. They are not a sound basis for truth.
See this article and more like it on: https://ko-fi.com/post/The-Irrational-Feelings-based-Atheist-R6R4Q8HXX
In fact, atheism implies certain truth claims about evidence, reason and epistemology, e.g. that there is insufficient evidence to warrant belief in God. These are propositional claims. Therefore, atheism does make truth claims, contrary to its assertion otherwise. Its claims can be logically affirmed or denied.
By the logical implication of its own claims, its assertion of making no truth claims is shown to be false.

Are Babies Agnostics or Atheists? Video Essay
Babies are born with no knowledge or beliefs regarding God's existence or any other topic. They have no philosophical positions at all. As their cognitive abilities develop, they gain the capacity to understand concepts like theism and atheism and may adopt stances on either side. But there is no "default" view, only a gradual acquisition of knowledge and beliefs. The logical dependency of atheism on theism demonstrates that atheism cannot be the primary or "default" position. The negation of a proposition relies on the proposition, not vice versa. While atheism and theism are contradictory, atheism presupposes the concept of theism in order to negate it. The default state is a lack of knowledge and beliefs, not any particular philosophical position on God's existence.

Not "Man-Made" Traditions? Luther, Calvin and Wesley etc.
Not "man-made traditions"? Lutheranism, Calvinism, Wesleyanism etc.
Not "man-made traditions"? Lutheranism, Calvinism, Wesleyanism etc, as branches within Protestantism, share several characteristics that reflect their origin as human religious traditions:
1) They were founded by Luther, Calvin, and Wesley - who broke from the Catholic Church based on their own reading and interpretation of scripture.
This dependence on the judgments and interpretations of man-made leaders has continued in how these denominations understand theology and Christian belief.
2) Core doctrines of each denomination reflect the particular theological views of their founders, not an unambiguous or self-evident reading of the Bible alone.
For instance, consubstantiation vs transubstantiation, predestination vs free will, etc. These human-derived doctrinal formulations are not clearly the "plain meaning" of scripture.
If the meaning of scripture were entirely plain and self-evident, these branches would not continue to disagree and contradict each other in their interpretations. They would converge on the one "plain truth".
The existence of ongoing disputes over key doctrines, even after centuries, obviously suggests that human judgement - not scripture alone - is shaping belief.

Is atheism the "default position"? Video Essay
Is atheism a "default position"? Here is an Aristotelian / Scholastic propositional logic argument showing how atheists are logical nitwits. Use it next time some atheist tries that line.
Atheism is a rebuttal, a negation of theism. For atheism to exist as a concept, theism must first exist. For any proposition P, the negation of P (not-P) is logically dependent on P. Not-P cannot be formulated or understood without first understanding P.

Adolf Harnack. The Lutheran Protestant Gnostic: Video Essay
Protestantism rejected the established orthodoxy and magisterial authority of the Catholic Church during the Reformation. While the Reformers supposedly aimed to correct certain doctrinal and practical abuses, this rejection of authority also opened the door to even more radical departures from orthodox theology. Without a strong concept of doctrinal authority, Protestantism has proven unable to prevent the rise of heretical sects under its broad umbrella. See Luther and the "schwaermerei".
The description of Adolf Harnack demonstrates this well. Harnack promoted a view of Jesus that rejected core Christian doctrines like the divinity of Christ, miracles, and the importance of the Old Testament. His theology aligned more with the 2nd-century heretic Marcion than with Christian orthodoxy.
Yet, Harnack remained a prominent "Protestant" scholar. His radical liberal theology flourished because Protestantism's decentralised nature cannot not effectively curtail heretical concepts.
While the original Reformers supposedly aimed to uphold Biblical authority, Protestantism has led to "an acceptance of open heresy" due to its inherent lack of institutional safeguards for orthodoxy. Its insistence on private judgment over common doctrinal standards has resulted in a "wide way" diverse and contradictory theologies, rather than a "narrow gate" of authoritative Christian belief.

Protestant Disunity Undercuts Its Own Claims: Video Essay
Protestant Disunity Undercuts Its Own Claims
Protestants argue that disagreement among early Church fathers undermines Catholic authority. However, Protestants themselves espouse multiple, contradictory doctrines and have severe disagreements among its founders and doctrines. In contrast, the Catholic Church acknowledges some disagreement among individual Church fathers, but upholds a single, coherent doctrine or catechism.
See the original on my Ko-Fi page: https://ko-fi.com/Post/Protestantisms-Disunity-Undercuts-Its-Own-Claims-T6T5QIGRQ
Hence, the Protestant argument is logically inconsistent. (see "Sensus fidei in the life of the Church")
The Fathers and theologians of the early centuries affirmed the solidity and the infallibility of the discernment of the whole Church on matters of faith and morals. They refuted dangerous novelties introduced by heretics by comparing them with what was held and done in the Catholic church.
As a side note, Muslims throw their scholars under the bus for disagreeing amongst themselves, while ignoring their own doctrinal consensus, when embarrassed by their deen.
Protestants cannot have it both ways. They argue that disagreement among the Church Fathers undermines the authority of Catholic doctrine, yet they themselves promote contradictory doctrines that differ from both the Fathers and each other.

The Impossible Pretense of Protestant Universality. Video Essay
The Impossible Pretense of Protestant Universality
There are serious arguments against Protestantism having a coherent claim to pronounce universally on heresy or define Christian orthodoxy. Due to its schismatic nature, lack of unified authority, and tendency to embrace contradictory doctrines and tolerate even heretical groups, Protestantism loses continuity with historical, apostolic Christianity.
Original article on my Ko-Fi page: https://ko-fi.com/post/The-Impossible-Pretense-of-Protestant-Universality-S6S5QFYFC
It cannot speak for or bind all Christians when it contains so many internal divisions and variations. Without a recognized teaching office or magisterium, Protestantism has fractured into many denominations with incompatible beliefs, all claiming the Bible and Christian faith as their source.
But heresy implies deviation from some accepted standard of orthodoxy, and Protestantism lacks that - it accepts any view as potentially "Christian" if someone can support it with a Bible verse. It cannot render judgements that carry authority beyond its various branches.
Protestantism lacks a coherent claim to define Christian orthodoxy or heresy with universal authority. Despite its many denominations and contradictory doctrines, Protestantism asserts itself as a historically and apostolically valid form of Christianity. However, upon examination, this claim proves logically and rationally problematic.
Without a unified teaching authority or consistent set of beliefs, Protestantism cannot speak for all Christians or bind anyone to a particular judgment on faith and morals.
Its break from the historical Catholic Church also severs its connection to apostolic authority and tradition. Within Protestantism, groups that deny even the central tenets of orthodoxy still consider themselves "Christian" due to the lack of any universally recognized authority.
If each denomination determines right doctrine for itself, heresy loses any real meaning.
Thus, Protestant judgments about heresy and orthodoxy can never rise above the views of some Christians among many, rather than the universal Church that Christ established.

Apostolic Authority #2: Irenaeus's Defense of Orthodoxy Against Heresy
We pick up again at page 12, and take another look at Harnack, and a figure called Bultmann.
This talk examines how Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyons, refuted the false teachings of Gnosticism in the 2nd century and defended the orthodox Christian faith handed down from the apostles. The Gnostics promoted a revisionist version of Christianity that abandoned apostolic authority and sacred tradition in favour of new mystical ideas. In his seminal work "Against Heresies," Irenaeus argued for the continuity of truth that could be traced back to the apostles - the "apostolicity" of right doctrine and practice. He showed how the Gnostics departed from this apostolic authority and faith, urging Christians to instead hold fast to the traditions they had first received. Irenaeus serves as an inspiration for Christians who today seek to preserve traditional moral and spiritual values against those who would distort the faith to suit fashionable ideologies. His call to "stand firm in the apostles' doctrine" remains as relevant now as ever. This video highlights why Irenaeus's defense of apostolic Christianity offers a timeless model for upholding truth against error and ensuring an authentic faith is handed down to future generations.
Let's explore.

TheoLogical pt1: Aristotle, Aquinas, Faith and Reason [Introduction]
Aquinas, Aristotle, reason and faith: The 13th century philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas played a pivotal role in harmonizing reason and faith. Aquinas was deeply influenced by the works of Aristotle, and sought to reconcile Aristotle's rational philosophy with Christian theology. Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher, emphasised logical reasoning and empirical evidence as the primary sources of knowledge. His metaphysical works explored deep questions about ethics, the soul, causality, and the nature of reality.
Christianity also relies on divine revelation and faith in matters beyond the material world. Aquinas argued that reason and faith could be reconciled, and philosophy could support theology.
In this video series, we explore Aquinas' Aristotelian arguments, how we know what is true, how we separate truth from sophistry, and how we reconcile reason and faith. We analyse how Aquinas incorporated Aristotelian metaphysics and logic into a systematic Christian theology.
For Aquinas, faith and reason were two harmonious paths to truth - and philosophy aided understanding of spiritual matters. Aquinas' life work demonstrates how ancient Greek reason and Christian faith can be unified into a cohesive philosophical system that shaped the development of Western thought. His arguments remain influential today in philosophy, ethics, and theology.
Join us as we examine the teachings of these two intellectual giants, Aristotle and Aquinas, and discuss how their insights elevated both logical reasoning and religious belief.
We also do a detour to examine the nasty, low opinion that intellectual midget Martin Luther had of reason.
Let's explore.

Darwin pt8: Darwinism - Scientific Evil. Genocide for the good of humanity
Is there more to the Charles Darwin story than we are told? For instance, did Darwin like to kill things. Did he like to kill things with his hammer? Did his family practice inbreeding? Was he a eugenicist, and were his children avid eugenicists? Was Karl Marx a Darwinist, and was Adolf Hitler one, both implementing what Charles Darwin believed and presented as 'science'? Is genocide scientific, and do morals really exist? Did Darwin elevate nature, or devalue human life? Are infanticide, euthanasia, suicide, and abortion scientific acts of social progress based on Darwin's 'scientific' principles?
Did Darwin derive his ideas from pagan mythicists and poets? And is atheism promoting evil as 'science'? Let's find out.
