Thank you so much for your work! I'm so grateful for intelligent and educated theists educating us on such topics as this one!

[DerMelodist]

I love these amazing topics that you bring up in your videos. There really is so much to learn, and I plan to add these books to my reading list for sometime soon. Thank you for helping with these seemingly "intellect-only" subjects, and turning them into digestible and enjoyable bites.

Please throw in an overlapping audio at random places of William Lane Craig shouting "Objective Moral Values!".

Cant wait for this series.

This is so informative! Thank you for sharing this video. It helped me a lot especially in understanding the 3 branches of ethics 😊

Wow! I'm so looking forward to this series. Keep it up!

I know someone who would be great to debate with on this topic. On YT, his channel is called "I-Theist."
His real name is, James Theodore Stillwell III. He used to be a Reformed Baptist Street Preacher and student of the Greek New Testament, presuppositional apologetics, Reformed Theology, and Evidential apologetics. He is a meta-ethicist and has written his own book defending his own version of moral nihilism which he calls "Power-Nihilism." He's had many years debating moral realists and so you might be interested, Mike.

Hey, I just watched your video on evolution and commented on it, but I'm sure it will be lost in the spew of non-logical people.I just wanted to make sure you got to see my comment anyway, heres what i posted. Thank you so much. I am 17 and have been raised as a Christian my whole life. I have always believed, but recently started looking at evolution as a possibility. I know evolution is true, but was always finding it difficult to fit them together. this has helped me so much. Thank you for your work putting this information together in a coherent explanation.

[Katherine.west]

Very well done! Concise, accurate, and meaty.

[PåGyngendeGrund]

Looking forward to your explorations. I myself have read Fisher's book and it is brilliant. I have made an extensive study on new intuitionism which I think has potential in the defense for moral realism. Blessings!

The word Math comes from the Hebrew word MATH (Strong's 4962, 4968-4971, 7971, 7973) in Greek it is the word disciple (3100-3103) means to become a pupil, enroll as a scholar, instruct, teach, to learn in a WAY.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Religion aside... This is a stellar video presentation. Props!

[mortaliumanimos]

Please make a video about Universalism vs Nominalism and what Christian should follow of them.

[LunarHorizonProductions]

yes... Inspiring Philosophy has uploaded a video. It is time to rejoice!

[BOMBI]

Ahhhh and here I was thinking I wasn't going to have my mind blown in the foreseeable future, this is gonna be fun.

[growingmusician]

In philosophy class, this is very helpful

Brother I might have found an addition to the sets of logical arguments we can use in favor of the Trinity.

Even though fundamentally it is the ability of being multi-personal that is superior to not having it, one might ask the question :
*Why is God only 3 persons, why not 5 or 1000?*
Because 3 is the minimum amount of persons needed to have all the perspectives of a relationship.
If he was one person only the pronoun "I" would exist in eternity past.
If he was 2 persons only the pronouns "I", "you", "us" and "he" would exist.

To be all-loving is superior to just to be loving, so this is in fact an important question.

If God was 3 persons, all the pronouns would exist in eternity past and thereby make God a being which is fundamentally loving. He would have love to give, but nothing to lose as he already has been loved forever.

Christians, take note of what I just said and propagate it. Not enough churches realize that we have this card in our hands. That's what I think InspiringPhilosophy lacked on his explanation video, even though he did his best as we should all do.
Muslims, you must recieve the Lord, there is no other way, this includes all unitarians.

*1 John 4: 8*
*He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.*

Maybe you would like to refine it or something but I think it's pretty solid for now.
I don't know if any Church fathers or modern theologians have thought about it but I certainly have.

thank you for your work. It helps with uni. However do you have videos without the background music ... or ones where the music is not so loud. its hard to focus on what your saying with the music being so loud.
