00:00:00.030 --> 00:00:05.700
 They're trying to use philosophy to get away from Jesus Christ having a will apart from

00:00:05.700 --> 00:00:06.680
 the Father.

00:00:06.680 --> 00:00:10.980
 And so every time the Bible brings up a will in the New Testament, most people are just

00:00:10.980 --> 00:00:13.000
 like, "Yeah, he's a different person.

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.840
 That's why he has a separate will from the Father."

00:00:16.840 --> 00:00:23.220
 And then, you know, specifically, they, you know, detach that will from God the Father

00:00:23.220 --> 00:00:27.890
 in their view by saying, "Oh, he has a human will and he has a divine will," whatever.

00:00:27.890 --> 00:00:29.360
 And that's using philosophy.

00:00:29.360 --> 00:00:39.600
 Again, Greek philosophy is what majorly influenced the St. Augustine, the early "Church Fathers,"

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:45.020
 these Catholics, and so as a result, you know, this philosophy has permeated the Catholic

00:00:45.020 --> 00:00:48.630
 Church for a long time, their tradition.

00:00:48.630 --> 00:00:51.830
 And then again, I like how he was saying it, saying, "Hey, I don't want to care about

00:00:51.830 --> 00:00:52.820
 all this philosophy and stuff.

00:00:52.820 --> 00:00:53.800
 God died for us."

00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:55.720
 You know, it's just that simple.

00:00:55.720 --> 00:00:58.870
 You know, we don't have to try and play these philosophical games of, like, how could God

00:00:58.870 --> 00:00:59.860
 die?

00:00:59.860 --> 00:01:02.190
 Because in our mind, it's not possible.

00:01:02.190 --> 00:01:05.930
 Well, how in the world can God be born of a virgin?

00:01:05.930 --> 00:01:12.150
 How in the world can God, you know, be transformed into mankind?

00:01:12.150 --> 00:01:13.140
 How can he put on flesh?

00:01:13.140 --> 00:01:15.160
 I mean, the Bible says the Word was made flesh.

00:01:15.160 --> 00:01:16.150
 How is that even possible?

00:01:16.150 --> 00:01:22.170
 I mean, like, obviously many things that happen throughout all of these miracles are just

00:01:22.170 --> 00:01:23.150
 that.

00:01:23.150 --> 00:01:24.130
 Miracles.

00:01:24.130 --> 00:01:27.280
 You know, a suspension of, you know, natural law.

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.620
 When you think about a miracle, when you think about something that's supernatural, we're

00:01:30.620 --> 00:01:33.890
 talking about is the suspension of natural law.

00:01:33.890 --> 00:01:34.890
 Yeah.

00:01:34.890 --> 00:01:38.150
 Does it make sense that an immortal God, that God could die?

00:01:38.150 --> 00:01:39.150
 No, it doesn't.

00:01:39.150 --> 00:01:40.740
 It would be a miracle if he could do that.

00:01:40.740 --> 00:01:42.420
 It'd be a miracle if he became flesh.

00:01:42.420 --> 00:01:44.530
 It'd be a miracle if he was born of a virgin.

00:01:44.530 --> 00:01:46.120
 It'd be a miracle if he walked on water.

00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:50.310
 It'd be a miracle if he did virtually every single thing that he did.

00:01:50.310 --> 00:01:51.300
 Why is it?

00:01:51.300 --> 00:01:55.970
 Why does we have to use philosophy to downplay the miracles of the Bible or downplay what

00:01:55.970 --> 00:02:00.650
 the text actually says, you know, we should just embrace the text regardless of what philosophy

00:02:00.650 --> 00:02:03.670
 teaches or what is even going to happen in natural law.

00:02:03.670 --> 00:02:04.960
 Sometimes there's just miracles.
