The Gospel IS Theosis: Direct Knowledge of God - Jay Dyer 

When I started looking for the Truth, I never expected that it would lead me to this. Thank you so much Jay. Jesus Christ is the Truth. You are the real thing Jay.

I was at catholic mass today and the priest gave a teaching from a sufi (Islamic mystic) that essentially pushed for ecumenism. Not even a murmur in the congregation, but the last straw for me. Too bad I cannot find an orthodox church nearby but I've just received my orthodox study bible.

Greetings from Orthodox Bulgaria, thank you for the video.I'm always amazed when I see so enlightened people outside native Orthodox countries

As a faithful Roman Catholic, I find this extremely interesting. Thanks Jay.

Your videos have helped me so much in my journey to Orthodoxy, Jay. Thanks for your amazing work!

This dude is gonna make me leave the RCC

Hello Jay, I intellectually struggle when it comes to Theology, but your videos really have helped me. So: thank you!

Jay, thanks for this. As a cradle Orthodox, I wondered why I always got blank stares from Catholics and Protestants when I brought up the notion of theosis, the nous, and the Jesus Prayer (noetic prayer)!

This Hass to be the best apologetic I’ve ever listen to on theosis. I am so thankful for your ministry on the Internet. You’re doing a beautiful work and helping people like me coming from Protestantism over to the orthodox church.

Superb once again. Thanks jay from Wales in the UK. A place whose Protestantism looks far more like Judaism

I assume this is the first video in a line of videos refuting the Dimond brothers. This is going to be awesome.

You are one in a billion Jay😘

You need to become a priest brother in Christ. God bless you! Georgian Orthodox here ❤️

Jay, I love you brother. Actually, I love the Holy Spirit working through you. Thank You.

Jay, correct me if I'm wrong, but would you say this difference you talk about in the video, would result in the different ways East and West understood Jesus? for example, it seems to me the West always understood the Christian way to be an imitation of Christ, or, rather, the suffering of Jesus in his Human "nature". That's why you have all the "imitations of Christ" in the West, with Assisi, and Jesus always depicted as suffering in the cross, and etc. Now in the East, it seems they focused way more in the Divine Nature of Christ, with his "monarchical" robes and sited on his throne as the judge of humans. Would you say this difference has roots in Christology?

Amazing, thank you Jay! Even a dummy like me could understand it now! Praise God for enabling me to grasp these awesome truths!

9:50 Wasn't it agreed by the church fathers that Christ is fully man and fully God? This is why Saint Maximus was exiled and mutilated, it was because the emperor didn't believe in this.

Thank you, a good portion of this was a bit beyond where my studies are at AND enough of it made sense that I am glad you keep doing this work. Godspeed.

Another incredible video Jay! Thank you for another excellent description of the facts. Liked and shared! God bless

Go on my son, get in there! This is quality

Do you have a video that shows the difference between what new Agers teach about becoming God vs Theosis

Jay - I recently stumbled upon your RU-vid channel. After 29 years of Protestantism, I started attending Orthodox services in September 2019. I struggled a bit between Catholicism and Orthodoxy, but your videos relieved all doubt. Orthodoxy all the way. Question -- Do you have a reading list somewhere that could assist me in obtaining the level of knowledge you have? It is incredible what you've been able to learn, obtain, discern, and disseminate through RU-vid. Thanks so much.

My current favourite Jay talk!

tried to listen but no one rubbed mayo all over themselves in this vid

Thanks, Jay. More of this please.

Another good one, Jay. Thank you.

This is great,keep going,no one teaches this stuff locally!

Great job Jay.

Brilliant!

I'd be interested to see Jay Dyer debate Curt Doolittle. Sparks would fly I'm sure

Jay absolutely goes all in. Great videos

Man I would love to have a conversation with this guy. I’ve been a pastors kid my entire life but this stuff goes right over my head.

Exactly !

Quick question! Should the Angel of the Lord be understood as the hypostasis of God the Son "as he is," so to speak, or rather as a manifestation of the uncreated energies?

We are all already participating in God's life simply by being alive. In truth we don't have a life of our own but the life we have been given, which is God's very own life, can be taken from us if we live contrary to God's will; so it's not about our gaining anything rather it's about keeping what we have been given and about coming to the realization that God is everything and we are quit literally nothing. We don't gain Theosis but rather we wake up to that realization of God.

Second watch bro, still as good

Thxs gave me some homework ❤

reminds me of when i read van til for the first time. i think i'm going to need to watch this a few times and look up all the references.

Whew, a lot here to chew on. I will have to listen to your video's over and over to gain mastery of the subject, but its worth it.

is the eye of the soul, nous, like the "inner witness of the holy spirit"? our spirit witnessing and communing with the holy spirit?

Jay, please consider not wearing a cap when doing your videos. This is so much better.

Nice.

Excellent! To add to your points on Western mysticism and its sometimes allowing for direct experience of God...consider St. Teresa of Avila, and the following passage from Evelyn Underhill's classic ""Mysticism." Teresa struggled tremendously with the issue of how to reconcile her experiences of God with Catholic views on created grace...and I quote... Thus St. Teresa writes of her own experience, with her usual simplicity and directness, "In the beginning it happened to me that I was ignorant of one thing--I did not know that God was in all things: and when He seemed to me to be so near, I thought it impossible. Not to believe that He was present was not in my power; for it seemed to me, as it were, evident that I felt there His very presence. Some unlearned men used to say to me, that He was present only by His grace. I could not believe that, because, as I am saying, He seemed to me to be present Himself: so I was distressed. A most learned man, of the Order of the glorious Patriarch St. Dominic, delivered me from this doubt, for he told me that He was present, and how He communed with us: this was a great comfort to me." [496] Again, "An interior peace, and the little strength which either pleasures or displeasures have to remove this presence (during the time it lasts) of the Three Persons, and that without power to doubt of it, continue in such a manner that I clearly seem to experience what St. John says, That He will dwell in the soul, and this not only by grace, but that He will also make her perceive this presence." [497] St. Teresa's strong "immanental" bent comes out well in this passage. (

Have you ever thought about that the Holy Spirit is in the Father and the Son and in us; therefore as we experience the Holy Spirit we also experience the Father and the Son as well?

This is the Truth

Okay I have one question for you, what is the gospel

can anyone translate what he said for those of us who are the low iq laypeople ?

Which church is the thumbnail from?

Your take on Divine Simplicity and Augustine is erred. We Catholics acknowledge The Holy Spirit as A Person of the Trinity.

*Can you please debate **Vaticancatholic.com** on this topic (and palamism)?* I intend to join the Orthodox Church and I would like to hear these matters discussed.

The second man, the divine man, is our true self.

Can someone explain to me how defining God's energies as uncreated does not in doing so create another deity if they are indeed separate from God? I'm honestly curious. I have never heard of this distinction or non-distinction before. I am a very recent convert to confessional Lutheranism from being a reformed baptist. The things I focused most on were the sacraments- not something on this level.

You were not Catholic long enough to know about it and it shows.

Bro this video is wild

Have you thought of debating a calvinist on your channel? In light of the resurgence of reformed thought among millenials (young restless and reformed movement), it would be interesting to watch you refute them in their cage stage.

Satan just got body slammed by dis doooood 💪 😂

You can't say that God is a simple essence because in doing that you are attempting to define God. We have no idea about what God is in His essence. All we can know of God is seen in Jesus Christ and we can know God's energies in our own experience. We can know God as wisdom, as love, as truth, as light but we cannot know God beyond His energies. The finite cannot comprehend the infinite.

Great video. But the smacking lips makes it tough lol

AN ARRANGEMENT OF PRAYERS TOWARD THEOSIS by George Engelhard AMAZON BOOKS

what do you mean that even the wicked will be resurrected? the ppl who died without faith in christ? who do you mean by "the wicked"?

You are wrong on created Grace. Grace and Energies are the same thing. To Catholics and Cathecisim 460 talks about diefication also known as Theosis.

Paul mentions the simplicity in Christ. Knowing God is being known by Him. He also says, “I never knew you, you workers of iniquity”. How do you define the saving Gospel one must believe? 2Co 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 2Co 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 2Co 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Maximus the Confesser was a Christian Universalist.

Begum Ordodox :DDD t. Jelly Deier :DDDDDD

No, you cannot learn about Theosis from a book

Are Hesychasts Christian Yogi's? There is so much i appreciate in Orthodocy but some things s

Bro are you a Mason?

WE MUST ALL REALIZE THE KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS WITHIN

If you actually read the entire Catechisim of The Catholic Church you would see that your prejudices about Catholisism Are relativistic opinions and not factual.
