Protestants are not more like Catholics. We don't pray to idols, or Mary or believe priests can forgive our sins and give us salvation. Catholocism is pagan more than of Jesus. Oh if you only knew the truth.
For thos eof us non religous folks it means treating all people like people and helping eachother and looking out for each other is non standard and doesnt fit perfectly in any political idealogy
Staunch Calvinist here, but you’re right about it coming down to authority. The Bible is the only infallible authority we can look to. That no other word or authority from man can be determined as God breathed. Would be curious to see you all review Trent Horn’s debate with Gavin Ortlund.
As someone who identifies as an educator, the concept of humility versus the dictionary definition of being humble has often caused an internal conflict in me. I believe in the value that comes with intrinsic confidence and self efficacy. I also believe that under selling yourself (as in presenting yourself, as less competent than you are) is for all intents and purposes, never beneficial or at very least never necessary. I personally am quite confident and look to inspire confidence in others, but never associate or contrast my confidence with other people through comparison. I don’t think I am worth more than anyone else or that I have something other people can’t attain, I think I’ve just trained a metaphorical muscle that others haven’t. I think what I just described is the human-to-human application of humility but.. the idea of humility in comparison to God makes sense and lands well. Beautiful video gents!
de Lubac: Human nature is so social that it is only itself when it is in a proper relationship with God and open to Grace. Technopoly: Let's make a new social order by destroying human nature. CS Lewis: Let's wake up because you can only be on one side of this or the other!
Hey repub prof! I know you! I’m so happy you are giving our channel a watch. Totally irrelevant and amateurish as you and I know. But yes, keep at it, and spread the word. Also, we want to interview you. :)
Very good conversation. I was a life long Protestant, my father and mother are both pastors of the Pentecostal church in Brazil. These kind of videos show me that I did the right thing becoming catholic. Thank you!
Love the videos! The audio comes out really great when I listen on my macbook. It's cool how Alex comes through on the left speaker and Nick's voice is on the right speaker. But when I listen on my phone, the gain level is a little wonky so it's not as easy to listen to. Other than that, awesome! Thanks.
Tip: I would recommend not panning the audio since it is distracting and makes it hard to focus on what you guys are saying. Love to see you guys on RU-vid though, I hope all goes well.
