Traditional philosophy and metaphysics Ep 7 picks up with a discussion of natural theology, natural law, its true and false senses and contexts and how the world cannot be properly interpreted without special revelation. We will critique the erroneous notions of “Logos” as universal reason, natural law and theology in the Thomistic and deistic Enlightenment senses and how those schemes led to today’s atheism. We will critique the bland, unthinking acceptance of the so-called “classical” arguments for “god’s” existence and how they are based on a faulty theology. We may touch on Defense of the Orthodox Faith: Book 3. Book 4 we will cover for subscribers to JaysAnalysis. Live at 5PM EST!

A recent Russia Faith article, “The Moral Heresy of Sexual Immorality”, provides a pretty useful and succinct explanation of how Orthodoxy understands nature. One of its helpful argument reads, “if sin is natural, among other things, God must be cruel, always tormenting us to act in passion. Since God is not cruel, we cannot hold sin is natural.”
The Father even counts Fordham’s “Orthodox Christian Studies Center” among heretical groups promoting anti-orthodox thinking. Wouldn’t that make it less heretical but, more to the point, anti-Christ?
