Christian Mysticism: The Divine Names by Pseudo-Dionysius

#Logos #Mysticism #LogosRising
In this video I read parts of the 13 chapters of Pseudo-Dionysius' mystical text "The Divine Names." This is a very famous and fascinating presentation of apophatic theology and linguistic attempts to conceptually move beyond categories traditional descriptions or "names" of God. Check it out and let me know what you think.
God bless 🙏

Thank you 🙏

thank you for this overview of pseudo-dionysius. and i made it through the whole thing! 😉

i must say i’m gravitating toward his insight into beauty in chapter 4 and would love to hear more of that.

In many protestant churches you'll hear that hell is separation from god which was an idea that always boggled my mind. I understand that the orthodox church has a very different understanding of the topic.

Excellent stuff brother. Really dig Pseudo D and Christian Mysticism in general. I recently ordered the Complete Works of Pseudo Dyonisius. I cant wait to crack into it

I thought the Orthodox tradition was that these writings were actually from the real Dionysius, the man St Paul converted. Maybe I’m wrong but I’ve never heard any of the Orthodox priests or theologians use the term pseudo when referring to the divine names. Thanks for the video either way. God be with you, Patrick.

How was he able to reconcile Divine simplicity with the trinity? And since in Neoplatonism, the first emanation Divine intellect(Nous) is not God, can you reconcile that with the Idea that the Son (Logos) is God.

Reading the books of the New Testament, we probably asked ourselves more than once: *"Why 2000 years we do not see those miracles that accompanied the Сhurch of Christ in the I century, as described in the New Testament?"* Why do the so-called preachers of Christ have to prove that Jesus really existed and atheists boldly deny the historicity or divine origin of Christ? Maybe because the Сhurch of Christ has not existed for 2000 years?
The Сhurch does not exist in the form in which it is presented in the books of the New Testament, but there are Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and other christian sects claiming to be the place of the Church, but they not have the only thing that distinguishes the divine from the human and is characteristic of just the Сhurch of Christ -the reinforcement of the word with signs, that is, miracles (Mark 16:15-20). Therefore, some researchers doubt the historicity of Christ, and some of them are not opposed to declaring him a an ordinary philosopher, teacher. But even if Jesus were an ordinary philosopher, his disciples would be ordinary followers of Jesus. And they would not dare to write about the miracles that not only Jesus, but also his disciples, could perform. If there were the Church in our time as described by the authors of the New Testament books, where miracles are performed, the sick are healed, where prophesied, and the dead are raised, no one would doubt the historicity of Christ. Then there would be the same controversy throughout the world as in the first century - Jesus the Son of God or the false prophet who seduces the world by miracles. As a result, we can say that the emergence and development of christian sects and atheism was the result of the fact that over the 2000 years the Сhurch of Christ did not exist.

Find *"The Mystery about the Church of Christ"* video on YouTube. The video reveals the prophecy of the disappearance and reappearance of the Church of Christ before the End of the World. Watching this video will give hope to all who sincerely seek God and will interest those who are not too lazy to think freely.

I feel bad for protestants, they lost so much with the reformation and if you speak to them about these authors many will say we have the Bible and forget we had a church before we had a Bible.
