- Theology made easy is a short series of short videos briefly covering important theological concepts at an elementary level. The purpose of this series is to demonstrate as succinctly as possible the Christian view of the world (and what lies beyond it). This first episode covers the question of if God even exists--as if He didn't, this whole series would be rendered meaningless.

"what If the universe is a special universe, so like it caused itself" - Cosmic skeptic mind of the decade
fr bro, einstein couldnt have thought this deeply
I suggest hermetic laws, Kybalion dives into it all. 🤷🏻♀️
@@hamontequila1104Einstein would rather invent the "cosmological constant" than admit the universe had a beginning.
Can't wait for the next vid
This series is EXACTLY what I’ve been needing recently. Since I became Orthodox, I’ve been getting better and better at proving God’s existance. I can confidently say that I am 100% certain that God exists. But recently I was thinking that just proving God isn’t enough, I have to prove that the Christian God is the One True God. I hope this series can provide a satisfactory answer to this question. Plese, keep doing these.
By prof you mean bad arguments?
@@DeconvertedManIt’s not a bad argument. Christos Anesti☦️
@@Commentary173 your right its not a bad argument its an incoherent argument that is not sound. :)
Loving this series, keep it up ❤
I NEED THE NEXT VIDEO!!!!
Good work. Nice ‘n punchy. Keep it up.
Great introduction. Looking forward to the rest of the series 🙏🏽☦️🕊
You're confusing an epistemological statement (the mind works by discrimination: colors are perceived in opposition to each other) with an ontological statement (things are causally connected). The two are perfectly distinct. Lastly, two things: it's not certain that the various elements of the universe are contingent, and even if they were, the point is that the universe itself is necessary, not that individual objects are necessary.
Thoughts like this lead to existential dread before I became Orthodox.
Something about imagining an uncaused infinitely expanding multiverse bothers me. And if it is truly infinite, and all possible outcomes and configurations are tested, that means God is real in an infinite number of universes.
So, how does that affect your behavior?
Then I begame orthobro.
What about slavery in the Bible, what is your explanation for that? Just curious
Can you quote a bible verse lil bro?

Fellow scientists, we stand before a revelation so profound, so audacious in its scope, that it could utterly reshape our understanding of reality itself. For millennia, humanity's greatest minds have sought to unravel the deepest riddles of existence - the primordial singularities and first principles underlying all that is. Today, through the unified insights of theology, mathematics and physics, I can announce that we have located the elusive singularities. They have been within us all along.
At the very core of our being, the essence of the human soul itself has an inherently zero-dimensional, scale-invariant nature mirroring the zero-point origin from which all higher dimensions emanate. This "zero of ourselves" is more than just an abstract geometric concept - it constitutes the fundamental ground floor of our existence as unitary subjective essences.
And within this dimensionless foundational kernel, reflecting the genesis points of space, time and energy themselves, we have found the primordial signature of the Divine Creator source imprinted in a sacred Trinitarian structure.
For at the subatomic scales probed by physics, we have definitively observed that the foundational "matter monads" binding quarks into protons and neutrons exist as inseparable Trinity-like states of three indivisible quarks. These Trinity-configured quark nuclei encode the triune dynamics of subject, object and process mirroring that of the Creator Godhead at their core constitutive fabric.
In short - the primordial geometric seed architecture for the entire multi-dimensional cosmic structure finds its most condensed embodiment within our very flesh as bound states of subatomic quarks arrayed in a divine Trinitarian image. The deepest signature of our Creator has been embedded within us at every level, from our elemental nuclei to the unbounded cosmos they compose.
Moreover, through our mathematical and empirical investigations, we have confirmed that these quark Trinities exhibit all the fundamental properties associated with true singularities:
They exist as dimensionless, indivisible point particles of infinite energetic densities. They encode hyperdimensional qualities through their collective quantum behaviors, exhibiting non-local correlations and entanglement unseparated by space and time.
And most incredibly, these quark Trinities represent the emanative source groundstate bridging an entire mirror duplicated cosmos - with our expansive universe of matter and energy precisely balanced by an equal and opposite domain of cosmic dissolution and inward curvature we have termed the "antiversum".
In essence, we have resolved the paradox of how our something universe could originate from a primordial state of utter nothingness. For our spatially extended reality is but one half of a zero-sum cosmological dynamic centered on the dimensionless quark singularities within us.
Our universe's ever-inflating expansion and heightening complexity is fundamentally countered by the contractive gravitational implosion and flattening back towards simplicity of its anti-cosmic mirror realm - with the quark Trinity singularities straddling this self-dual partition as the bridge and birthchannel.
So while highly abstract, the deepest scientific findings affirm that we each literally contain the primordial singularity within our core material fabrics - a Trinitarian bound state operating as a hyperdimensional conduit spawning forth our visible universe while simultaneously descending our anti-cosmic parallel into an oblivion cycle of dissipative contraction and dissolution.
Our bodies house a perpetual cosmogonic birthing and re-absorption cosmic churning centered on these singularities saturated with novel geometries defying our traditional geometric intuitions. Yet, these bizarre dynamics find their prototypical symbolic root in the archetypal Trinitarian structures seeded into existence.
So in summary, we can confirm that the singularities have been located - not as abstruse mathematical infinities or distant cosmic phenomena - but directly embodied within each of us at the most fundamental subatomic scales composing the core geometry of spacetime. We are zero-dimensional singularity sources birthing forth and re-absorbing the continual make/unmake cycles of the pluriverse's twin projections.
And this astonishing revelation becomes all the more sensible once we adopt the monadological and relationally pluralistic mathematical frameworks pioneered by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz - who intuited the centrality of indivisible perspectival essences and inter-relations over classical infinitist and strictly causal worldviews.
Only Leibniz's plurinomic logic, infinitesimal calculi and kaleidoscopic geometries provide the symbolic machinery capable of quantifying the non-local, non-commutative meta-algebra flowering forth from these quark singularity sources within our cells.
For Leibniz recognized that the deepest principles of metaphysics must originate not in absolute idealized continua or mechanical causation - but in the interiority of a dense interconnected web of infinite/infinitesimal experiential novelties interlaced into an evolving perspectival pluriverse.
His visionary legacy culminated in mixed algebras of discrete and continuum operations, capable of expressing the paradoxical complementarities and interfacial exchanges between immanent interiorities and their transcendent collective manifestations - precisely what our current physics reveals of the sub-quantum quark singularity dynamical sources.
So in abandoning the obsolete assumptions of strict causal closure, absolute geometric manifolds and uniconic logics, we resurrect the Leibnizian path - illuminating the living algebraic plurionic logographies emanating across dimensional reflections from the primordial zero-dimensional singularity wellsprings within us all.
Only then can we participate as co-articulators in the great self-utterance of the cosmic theogonic Logos unfolding its eternal songline as manifestation upon re-absorption across the pluriversal refractor prisms seeded throughout the reiterative singularity nuclei.
My friends, we stand at the dawn of a new metaphysical enlightenment reconciling the severest of our mystical intuitions with objective scientific rigor. While innumerable challenges await, the singularities resolving the origin paradoxes have been revelated within us through the sacred light of empirical and symbolic inquiry.
So let us embrace this new radical truth - to become the prodigal symbolic articulators dreaming ourselves awake as resonant harmonics within the eternal Monas polyphony. For only through lucid participatory embodiment of this metaphysical vocational path can we actualize the fullness of realitys inceptive spark seeded across our every plurinomic Cell.
I absolutely love this video and how it explained the theology
Nate! I miss that bloke
Excuse me, is there any video on this channel about the theoury of evolution? This is a huge gap between modern people and the Bible. The raw theory of creationism, which i can find, is not convincing at all. Also, even not all deeply religious christians (I believe I am), can accept that the world is just 6000 years old. Is there any gap in our understanding of world, or just a real misunderstanding the Bible?
Jonathan Pageau just put out a video with Stephen Meyer about this very topic. czcams.com/video/aHCALnvOBq4/video.htmlsi=_aRR4zNpHwzeBS5m
Also the 6000 year old earth theory is a modern idea.
The bible is wrong about a number of things. Evoultion demolosishs Adam and Eve and a bunc of science disproves world-wide flood. Nothing in the bible says the age of the Earth or universe, that number was due to some nitwit adding up the ages of people listed in the bible. Some of those ages go up to 900. (No one lives that long!)
if you add them all up you get a number 11,746 years. How does that become 6000? No idea. Its wrong. People do not live that long. The ages most likely are written that way due to numerology.
No where in the bible does it talk about the age of the world
@@delicious_malicous true but some nitwit added up ages and said that was how old it is
@@delicious_malicous In the gospel there is a genealogy of Christ from which one can approximately calculate the age of the earth. This age will definitely not be equal to even one million years, even taking into account the longevity of the first people.
Nice explaned for such a short video, but the approache: starting with the existence, the essence, of God instead of the revelation of the Trinitarian Live, is quite thomistic. Nevertheless, I hope you would not leave it in the air, waiting for the next video
@@telosbound otherwise I would have not watched your videos. I appreciate your content on communal ontology, you are presenting a good reading of Zizioulas and Florovsky.
Thanks!
Nope! Thanks for asking. :)
But I'll do a video about this video... for fun.
4:20 a god only exists in relation to what... itself? oh ooops.
@@telosbound Okay, so your "logic" (ha!) in this video is that something like the color orange would not be a thing if it and only it existed, we would have no label for it, and its only by comparison to other things that it exists, is that correct?
@@telosbound I'm not sure you even know what my concern is. But if you listened to my video then maybe you do know... did you listen to my video? - anyway... so yeah am I right about your ""logic"" in regards to the color orange...
@@telosbound in this video, you said that things only exist in relation to other things, and as an example, you said that if the color orange was the only color, that it would have no name and be meaningless.
You also said that things are what they are because of what they are not, like a chair is only a chair because it is not a TV.
You also said that if something can only be in relation to something else.
Is this your stance?
Please clarify if I am getting your points slightly wrong.
@@telosbound okay so if any object does not have anything to compare to then it isn't an object?
There is actually 1 best argument to prove Christ is God. Every single religion is a reflection of Orthodoxy, we can historically prove that all religions come AFTER Christ, many historians in the 19th and 20th centuries have drawn the similarities between "ancient" religions and Christ ( Buddha, Krishna, Osiris are clear reflections of Christ ), however, historians have lied about the dates of the manuscripts and documents and put Hinduism as the oldest religion, when in reality the entire Hindu literature was first ever published in the 19th century and not even by Indians, but by Europeans. Same goes with Buddha, there is no actual original document of "buddha's" teaching, in reality historians have found out Buddha is a reflection of Christ and of Saint Joasaph of India. This goes deep, I recommend you study Anatoly Fomenko's work "History: Science or Fiction" he is the most important historian and mathematician of the 21st century
Absolute nonsense
@@strafelicious4631 Yes, absolute nonsense. Some people are so gullible. Europeans studied Sanskrit and translated the Vedic literatures (written in Sanskrit) into English. Some even misinterpret it deliberately and tried to abolish the Vedas.
Vedic religions never spread outside India until the Europeans invaded it and forced them Christianity. But Vedic religion is now practiced all over the world and even Christians adopted it.
@@neomagnon Brother , to me , they seem as if they are sinning in pride and vanity , these things are in vain , to me it seems as if they have made a show biz out of christianity and try to construct baseless and false rhetorical narratives to boost their value in the vain economy of the human symbolic 😂.
@@avkicksurs4769 They can do that and God "allows" that, like God allows false prophets to fool the people.. But there is corresponding punishment for that.
@@neomagnon Undoubtedly , i can see what seeds of pride over religion has in for them ,which is quite contradictory to such teachings , cuz smh they recite those teachings while in acts , they contradict it , their damnation will grow out of them indeed just as death grows out of life.

How do you jump from
' everybody has faith '
To
' everybody has a God '?
Faith in what?
Uncaused cause,
Transcendental truth,
Ultimate good...
Is God? That's your definition?
@@iwatchyoutube9425in ... something, according to the video at 1:16
Idk, faith in mankind perhaps?
It’s a metaphor you bloke
Well, have you studied buddhism and islam as in depth as you have christianity yo know that those have worse explanarory power?
And i mean, the bible of course is not random, its cross referenced, its not some impressive achievement to have such kind of work. Buddhist literature is absurdly vast and cross references as well
"Something exusts as it derives its identity other things"
So God himself relies on other things than himself to exist?
"If yellow were the only color then it would be unidentified an meaningless"
Wrong, we can identify it as the only color that exists, the only thing that we n possibly see. Who cares if the other colors exust or not.
"What it means to exist is to have an identity"
Then why can I name thinfs woth an identity that don't exist?
Everything in the cosmos is dependent on other things only within the universe, doesn't mean the universe itself is dependent on anything.
1) God is self-existent due to the trinity
2) we can only identify Yellow as a colour because it isn't the only colour. If it was the only colour, yellow would be colour itself.
3) they do exist in a certain form, as thoughts in your mind, just not physically. You're also giving those things their identity.
4) the universe is made of smaller and smaller aggregates acting upon one another, and something eternal has to start the chain.
@joshuaparsons887 "God is self existent due to the trinity."
Oh so something does not exist because it derives its identity on other things.
"We can identify yellow as a color because it's the only color. If it was the only color then it is color itself. "
You can still call the only color yellow though and it would mean the exact se thing, just that others don't exist. Yellow is nothing more than a specific spectrum of wavelength and frequency of light, if it was the only one then so what?
"They do exist in a certain form, as thoughts in your mind, just not physical."
Wait so they only exist in any form if I assign and identify to it? So if I never heard of the great pyramids and therefore I definitely don't have an assigned identify, they don't exist?
"The universe is made of smaller and smaller aggregates acting upon each other and something eternal must start it"
Start what? The universe? Because the universe itself is not an aggregate acting on something whatever that means. The universe does have a chance of being eternal as well so it can be the "eternal one". Also how do you know it needs something eternal?

There are at most a dozen distinct traditions among the Western and Eastern branches of Christianitt.

Nhe me no likey. You should have made a longer video and elaborated more deeply on the subject, just 10 minutes was enough
@@telosbound I understand. I just think you could have dedicated more time to the argument itself with premisses, conclusions, etc. Maybe it's just me but I found this video's elaboration of what I assume is the Kalam quite messy
good video, comment for the algo
You are only making claims. You are not actually exploring them and vindicating them.
If you want to know God - the cause of all causes, his forms, qualities, attributes, pastimes, you MUST read the Vedas, Srimad Bhagavatam, Bhagavad Gita As It Is (written more than 5,000 years ago), which has COMPLETE descriptions of God, the spiritual and material kingdom, how the universe was formed, how life came into existence, etc.
The Bible (written 2,000 years ago) has a very limited information about the things mentioned above.
No because the hindu Gods aren't above the universe so de facto can't even be considered as an option
@@a.n.1102 What did you mean by your statement - "the Hindu Gods are not above universal?
Is there a Hindu God, Christian God, Muslim God separate from each other?
Have you ever read one of the mentioned scriptures for you to make a final conclusion?
Can the Bible provide you with the full informations about God?
@@neomagnon if you have full information on God, he is not God as God is incomprehensible. Secondly, if a God isn't above the universe, i don't have to read their scriptures to know it's false.
@@a.n.1102
The information written in the said bonafide scriptures are just full "overview" of God.
God is infinite, incomprehensible, immeasurable and our material senses, mind and intelligence are limited and imperfect and impossible to fathom God.
To fully know God, you must submit to a scientific spiritual process, like what Jesus recommended in his first and foremost commandment - to develop love for God.
This is the only way to have full access in God's kingdom.
The knowledge in bonafide scriptures are the guides to that process.
Just like if you want to have full access in someone's heart, you have to cultivate and develop love for that person, so she/he may reveal himself/herself to you. Depending on your sincerity.
How will you know and understand things, and validate whether something written in the scripture is true or not? Arrogance with not get you anywhere.
Again, my question to you: why did you say the Hindu Gods are not above universal? And second, do you think there are Hindu, Christian, Muslim God?
@@neomagnon“But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.”
Romans 1:18-23
Pointless question. There is no universal truth!!
Wait…
Is that universally true? 😂
The universe is neither caused nor uncaused. It simply is, becaused there is no alternative to existance
The Bible isn’t internally consistent though. There are contradictions in the Bible.
@@telosbounddo you know a place to go over bible “contradictions”
The non-contradictory interpretation of the Bible is a "heresy".
The Gen 2.4-Gen 3 characters are clearly the Unholy Trinity.
@@telosbound I’ll give just one example. Matthew and John explicitly contradict each other on exactly when Jesus appeared to the women. How do you disagree with this contraction? How do you reconcile this?
Oh, you're just talking about perspective, different ppl see different perspectives. If I see above my head a bird with 2 wings. Someone else from 200 meters away would see it with 1 wing.
@@RetogShow me the verses and I’ll show you the commentary from the Early Church Fathers.
