Jay’s Analysis – Eastern Theology Versus Latin Theology

What are the central differences between Latin and Eastern theology? Is there are common thread of difference that gives rise to two different approaches to divinity, knowledge, revelation and eschatology? Yes, I argue. I discuss Augustine, Aquinas, absolute divine simplicity as borrowed from Aristotle and Plato, the Logos, the Greek triad, I Am as “pure being,” Anselm, the analogia entis/chain of being, apophatic theology, theosis, created grace, divine energies, divine ideas, and the supposed ‘beatific vision.’

and “save as”

“By accepting the teachings of Plato on unchangeable species and identifying these with the Divine Essence, Augustine established the analogy between created and Uncreated, based on which he and the Franco-latins would research the Divine Essence through the in-world created icons of the uncreated archetypal species in God.” -Fr John Romanides, Dogmatic and Symbolic Theology of the Orthodox Catholic Church I, p. 382

The Freemasonic & Illuminist Conspirers Documented in Mainstream History

By: Jay

This one goes out to all those skeptics who, for some reason, always trust the “mainstream” historians. This fact is odd, since often times what is “mainstream” is actually a prepackaged ideology created and funded by a certain interest, like Rockefeller & CIA funding of various feminist projects in order to break up the family, for example. But I know, that never happened and I made that up, even though their authorized biography is open about it. As a college student who has taken several history classes, I was amazed to see how many class texts actually talk about the influence of both Freemasonry and the Order of the Illuminati, particularly in the French Revolution.

First of all, I am aware that these historians probably don’t think there is a secret cabal that has been steadily working over the past few centuries towards certain goals such as global government and a one world religion. That’s not the purpose of this article. My purpose is more basic, since most people have never even heard of the Illuminati or Masonic conspiracies. I simply want to show that mainstream historians—internationally known historians—openly talk about the existence of these cults and their operations in history. I want to first demonstrate that these are real historic entities, and then, in a follow-up article, speak of their present day activities.

Bristol University Historian William Doyle has written a lengthy, well-known work on the French Revolution titled The Oxford History of the French Revolution: Second Edition, which is a case in point. In case you don’t know, the French Revolution was itself a Freemasonic bloodbath. In an insightful section, he writes: Read more of this post
