Part 2: JORDAN PETERSON, ORIGEN, DARWIN & ABSOLUTE SIMPLICITY – TRADITIONAL PHILOSOPHY EP 4 – JAY DYER (HALF)

Today we will continue to cover divine simplicity in the Roman view, the Orthodox view, the meanings of our terms, the revealed doctrines, the patristic usages, the essence – energy distinction, St John of Damascus but with a focus on St Sophronius, and the 6th council’s condemnations of Origenism on multiple grounds from St Sophronius’ confession, accepted at the 6th council. We will compare this to Origen’s doctrine of evil based on dialectics and how Peterson accepts this view and how this leads him to gnosticism and how it ties to evolutionary theory.
