Comparing Christianty and Vedantic Traditions | Dr. Graham M. Schweig
The Nature of God in Vedantic and Christian Traditions with Dr. Graham M. Schweig. Conceptions of God in various traditions have been debated and analysed in different ways, but some common threads exist across these 2 traditions. We discuss how internal debates within these traditions are similar and how they differ. We particularly focus on the Advaita and Dvaita divide and Vedanta and how that does or doesn't map onto debates about divine simplicity and kenosis.
Graham M. Schweig is Professor of Philosophy and Religion at Christopher Newport University as well as Distinguished Research and Teaching Fellow at the Center for Dharma Studies at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. He has three masters degrees and a PhD in comparative religion from Harvard University. He is the author of several books and hundreds of articles on Chaitanya-Vaishnava theology, published with premier academic presses.

    The whole point about subjective or objective morale is so confusing for me from the philosophical point of view, but so much easier to understand from evolutionary and spreading genes. We dont rape children because they cannot make a baby and it most likely will lead to internal organ damage, so parents of that child would be interested in protecting it. We dont kill each other for no reason, because those groups who do are dying out, so no genes or memes that lead to such behavior are spreading good.

      @@bayreuth79 what you described was historical rather then theological. 'God did x in y point in time therefore we need to all become Christians'. I don't see that as logical. What is missing there is an understanding of what a perfect being would set up as methods for attaininf salvation. Is God is truly all loving then He would make himself accessible in many different cultures all through history. The Christian view your describe says God ibkt made himself available in one culture at one point in history and any knowledge of him has to trickle from there.

    • @bayreuth79
      @bayreuth79 Před 5 dny

      @@TheologyUnleashed I do not see a radical disjunction between the historical and the theological: in the sense that God has revealed 'himself' in history. Here is the logic, as I see it: God reveals himself in the life, death and resurrection of Christ (i.e., in history) and if one accepts that, would it not make sense to convert to the Christian faith? When I look at the Bhagavad Gita or the Mahayana Sutras, for instance, it seems to me that (profound though they are) they are thoroughly shot through with non-historical mythos. You might disagree with me but I see no reason to suppose that Krishna was a historical person and certainly the Bodhisattvas are imagination. (Nothing wrong with any of that by the way: I think they are 'true' myths, at least in some sense). But with Christ we have a historical person (first century Judea) who (1) claimed to be divine (in some sense of that term) and then (2) was raised from the dead (good historical arguments to support that) to vindicate his claims (in part). One could argue that Christ is the mythos embodied in time and space. If that is the case, it seems to me that it would make sense to embrace the embodied myth rather than the "good dreams of the pagans". And, moreover, my comment doesn't necessarily have anything to do with 'salvation'. But it might be the case that Christ is the 'royal road' to salvation/thesis, even if other great religions could get you there too. Also, I believe in universal salvation, so I am not an exclusivist in that sense. Just trying to make sense of all this.

      @@TheologyUnleashed You wrote: "The Christian view your describe says God ibkt made himself available in one culture at one point in history and any knowledge of him has to trickle from there." That is not what most Christians have thought. Yes, God has most fully revealed 'himself' in the life, death and resurrection of Christ, but even St Paul acknowledges that the 'pagans' have a knowledge of God through the natural world. Moreover, I think this comment is beside the point. What I am wondering is this: shouldn't Christians be evangelising non-Christians given that, unlike non-Christian religions, we actually have good reasons to suppose that the myth became fact (to paraphrase Tolkien and Lewis)? It seems to me that if I was a Mahayana Buddhist and I came to think that Christ had been raised from the dead, wouldn't I want to follow him rather than the Bodhisattvas? There are, after all, real differences between all the great world religions, so _perhaps_ Christ gives us greater access to the light than any other source? You follow the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita: don't you think that Krishna gives you a greater access to the light than, let's say, Islam?

    if anyone wanted a bigger explanation of Realist Realist's question about NONbelief: The concept of beliefs as neurological states is supported by various findings in cognitive neuroscience that link belief formation and maintenance to specific brain activities and structures. However, the empirical investigation into the absence of belief, or "nonbelief," is a less explored territory. To address the existence and substantiation of nonbelief within the framework of neurological states, we can consider the following points: 1. **Neural Correlates of Belief**: Research has shown that belief and disbelief activate different neural pathways. For instance, functional neuroimaging experiments indicate that beliefs engage areas of the brain associated with motivation, emotional processing, and cognitive evaluation. Similarly, the neural activity associated with disbelief might not activate these areas as robustly, suggesting a distinct neurological response to nonacceptance of a proposition [citation:5]. 2. **The Role of Cognitive Mechanisms**: Studies on delusions and the cognitive processes involved in belief formation emphasize that the absence of belief could be understood through the mechanisms of cognitive dissonance and uncertainty. Individuals often experience cognitive states that signal confusion or doubt regarding a particular belief [citation:2]. This can result in a shift towards nonbelief in specific contexts, which may be measured through brain activity that reflects indecision or cognitive conflict [citation:1][citation:4]. 3. **Procedural Representations**: Nonbelief can also be tied to the absence of cognitive uptake or engagement with certain information. The absence of belief can manifest neurologically as a failure to process information in the same way that beliefs do. This could be studied through neuroimaging techniques when subjects are presented with information that they explicitly reject or acknowledge as not believable [citation:3]. The brain regions involved during active belief evaluation may show reduced activation when individuals express nonbelief. 4. **Cognitive and Emotional Responses**: Neurocognitive studies have documented that emotions play a significant role in shaping beliefs. The absence of belief, particularly in scenarios involving uncertainty or skepticism, could be represented as a lack of emotional engagement with the information being processed. This disengagement might be evidenced by reduced activity in regions responsible for emotional processing, such as the amygdala or the prefrontal cortex when responding to improbable or absurd claims [citation:6]. 5. **Empirical Measurement**: To substantiate nonbelief empirically, researchers could design experiments where subjects are presented with statements that vary in believability. Through neuroimaging, scientists could examine the differential activation patterns in neural circuits associated with belief, disbelief, and neither by comparing the responses when participants strongly affirm, deny, or express neutrality towards propositions. This would reveal potential distinct neurological signatures for nonbelief. In summary, while substantial evidence supports the existence of beliefs as neurological states, empirical evidence for a distinct neurological state of nonbelief could potentially be gathered through comparative studies focusing on neural activation patterns in response to belief, disbelief, and uncertainty, all of which implicate specific brain mechanisms and emotional cognition

    The idea of reincarnation scares me, and I don't know why 😅 Nothing in the Torah, Bible, or Quran denies reincarnation per se. It would make sense in the context of Abrahamic religions that some people die as babies or have really difficult lives compared to others, and I imagine it would be fairer to judge people after they've had enough time on earth to be tested. That being said, if you're gonna be tested in different circumstances during different lifetimes, not remembering your past life would be better, because you're not gonna be influenced by who you were in those circumstances. If you were born into a certain religion before, it's more likely that if you remember that, you'd still have the same religion (or ideas and values) as who you were before. The arguments for reincarnation seem to be logical, and that's giving me an existential crisis. Also, it's scary to not know who you're gonna be and where you're gonna be in a future life, but we didn't get to choose where we are in this life so we just trust God with our souls. We're very fragile and helpless, and that's okay.

    Very interesting conversation! Thank you! A few points that came up for me listening to you both - I know from my research the bible is corrupted and is presented in a certain way to control the masses and actually cause division between the population for example, the word pederasty was in all bibles prior to 1946 which means adult male having sex with a child boy 'pedophile' then a group of so called 'scholars' changed it to 'homosexual' this is a huge difference, and I have seen proof online from other people that the original word in the original language was 'pederasty' but the newbies come along and say no it means homosexual; this is just not true. The fact that the church and it's leaders back in the day burnt thousands and thousands of scriptures that contradicted their version of what they wanted Christianity to be because they wanted the power over the people, these scriptures that were burnt were considered heretical as what we know today to be 'gnostic' I've done so much research into the gnostic gospels and they ring similar to the Veda's and Jesus's teachings were of similar strength and code to the Vedas, but this doesn't fit the Christian narrative so they shout it down as hearsay. From my research Jesus was not a meat eater and was trying to stop all the animal sacrifice that was going on in temples and around the place, please refer yourself to the documentary 'Christspiracy' you can watch it online for a small fee and it outlines everything biblically.

That documentary I mentioned uses the bible scriptures from the original languages it was written in to prove Jesus was a vegetarian. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to find truths, it takes someone who has an open mind, willingness to search and leave no stone unturned! Oh I finished reading the Canto's and Lord Chaitanya's collections, very interesting with some great wisdom!

    The only thing holding thinking believers in their cave is plutonic idealism and not really understanding evolution. Zen Buddhism was the most sophisticated religion I’ve come across. There’s nothing to it and yet it’s always there. It made me see how stupid mysticism is myself not because “mysticism is bad”. Also psychedelics make you see how dumb words and language is and how deceiving the mind is.

    14:55 “The soul is as if a filthy rag. A filthy rag. That’s in the Hebrew Bible” Is it though? Or is he thinking of Isa 64:6 - which doesn’t appear to be referring to the soul, and many translations render in terms of ‘becoming’ as one who is unclean (as opposed to an eternal state).

      I'm not a Bible scholar so don't have much to say about that, but even if that quote is meant in a different sense, I think the idea is that the soul is basically bad is held by many Christians and is what the doctrine of sin is all about.

      @@TheologyUnleashed Nor am I a Bible scholar, but I would say that it'd pay to look at Christian teachings in a Christian context. We are born in the image of God, so I wouldn't say that God created us to be "basically bad", that would render him incompetent. Rather, we are born into this body, and the soul to a certain extent is tethered to the body. So if sin is committed, and remember the first sin is disobedience to God, then the soul is impacted by such actions. Jesus said in Matthew 10:28 when speaking of who to fear (God) "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." So here I believe he is ultimately attaching the eternal (going forward) soul to the same body that will "reap what was sowed". Moreover, because Jesus references both soul AND body being destroyed, I gather that he is saying that soul and body will be together in Heaven or Hell, in other words, the physical body in which the soul is tethered to will remain eternally saved or damned.

      @@NZEN_Music If God made a soul who can suffer eternally then he screwed up pretty big. That entails thinking the soul is not by nature good because anything that is by nature good will not be able to eternally be kept from realising that nature. The philosophical approach I take in interfaith discussions is ambivalent to what the bible actually says. There are some Christians who think the soul is bad and I have philosophical objections for them. There are others who think other things about the soul, and I will agree with some of them.

      @@TheologyUnleashed "The philosophical approach I take in interfaith discussions is ambivalent to what the bible actually says" I think this is an interesting point you bring up, I guess I would just wonder from that point, how you come to a conclusion on who Jesus is, and what Christianity teaches. "If God made a soul who can suffer eternally then he screwed up pretty big", this comes down to us having free will, it's like C.S Lewis said, Hell is locked from the inside. For someone to freely deny the Lordship of Christ is to damn himself, that is the Christian teaching (also worth mentioning that Jesus is Eternal, as part of the trinity). Denial of that should come from good evidence to the contrary, less of a philosophical fancy.

      Yes, that is what I was thinking also. I'm not a Christian but I accept Jesus and love Jesus like I love Krsna. I see Prabu completely different as I see Jesus. What I find kinda interesting is that followers of Jesus not all but many I've known shit and piss on the legacy of Jesus and have their own idea of what Jesus was all about to fit their narrative that suits them. Then Prabu followers not all but many I've known treat Prabu with more respect and honor and are more open to what could be than what they want something to be. When I say some Christians shit and piss on Jesus's legacy for example; they have sex before marriage, they tell different people they are going to hell, they are rude, they eat meat and refuse to research the truth that Jesus was a vegetarian; I point anyone to watch Christspiracy documentary online which uses biblical text to prove this. Overall they live a very selfish materialistic lifestyle.

      @@TechBaby-rd6dy "followers of Jesus shit and piss on the legacy of Jesus" this might be true in some cases, but that just proves the bible correct, in fact it goes further, to say - Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ALL. "Followers of Jesus have their own idea of what Jesus was all about to fit their narrative that suits them", this can be said of the non-Christian also, like so, the Hare Krishna has their own narrative of Jesus to suit their worldview. The real question is which viewpoint of Jesus is actually correct, and what justification does one have to back it. Jesus was definitely not a vegetarian, and it's very much obvious in the Bible, the following: Matthew 26:17 - 18 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. Jesus here is saying the HE will keep passover, which means he would be eating lamb, such as he did his whole life, because he kept the Jewish law. And again in Luke 24: 41 - 43 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And he took it, and did eat before them. 1 Timothy 4: 1 - 5
