Whaddo You Meme?? ‘
Jesus always spoke in Parables in a roundabout manner, never in a straightforward way as you and others might expect and there is a reason for that. The very fact that Jesus in the Son of Yahweh and God the Son (2nd person of the Godhead/Trinity) is a revelation from the Father which not everyone can receive but those that do, receive the priceless gift of Eternal Life in Christ Jesus in the process, if you as a muslim want to believe that Jesus is God on your own accord, you cannot because it is a revelation (revealed truth) from the Father which only those who are foreordained to receive it, can receive it and be transformed in the process. That is why Jesus said to Peter "blessed art thou Simon son of Jonah for flesh and blood has not revealed to you but my Father in heaven" when Peter said "Thou art Christ the Son of the Living God". Jesus never wanted the Jewish religious leaders to understand who He really was lest they would be saved and have their sins forgiven because Jesus foreknew that there were those who were created for condemnation who would reject His deity and His Sonship with the Father.
Secondly, Jesus was an exemplary example of humility, the very fact that He took on flesh to be born into this world is a sign of obedience and humility to the will of His Father who wanted to make The Way (only way) to get reconciled to Himself as the Father promised the devil in Genesis 3:15, "the seed of the woman" would crush the devil's head and the devil or serpent would bit His feet which was fulfilled in Jesus' crucifixion, "the seed of the woman" refers to Jesus because no sperm was involved in His birth because His birth was a miracle in itself because Jesus had only 23 chromosomes and not 46 as normal humans do as testified by the shroud of Turin, the other part of His being was birthed by the power of the Holy Spirit making Him 100% God and 100% man at the same time, God in the Flesh. Let me give you an example here, I am a polyglot, if I were to say that I am the best polyglot in the whole world, there are 2 problems with that, one it is not true because there are people who speak the languages that I do better than I ever can who know more languages than I do. The second most important reason is that if I were to make such a claim, I would be boastful. In Jesus' case, the second reason was true because He wanted to be humble and not boastful, He always let others do the talking for Him but was passive and did not react angrily when people said that He was the Son of God or bowed down to worship Him which means that He endorsed it. Else, He would have told them explicitly not to do it. What is more is that God the Father (during Jesus' baptism), angels and demons alike testified to the truth of who Jesus is- the Son of God and they worshipped Him (except the Father) and Jesus never stopped them which means that He knew what He was doing and that those beings knew that He was God. Jesus basically did not want to be like Mmd because unlike the latter Jesus let others and His deeds do the talking for Him instead of making direct assertions like "I am God worship me"- that is a boastful and proud attitude which is the quality of the devil with whom Jesus had nothing to do. Even if you take the Old Testament prophets, none of them made a proud declaration to others saying "I am a prophet, listen to me", that is very proud and ungodly but they let their deeds (miracles) and the prophecies given to them by God, do all the talking, in effect, their works proved and made people believe and understand that they were prophets.
البريق اللامع Why do you find Jesus's claims to divinity so hard to understand? The manner of speaking was different in those times and maybe the translation to modern language does lack the impact if you are not a fluent speaker of ancient Greek, Aramaic or Hebrew.
James Gray you should look up C.S. Lewis’ essay on equality. C.S. Lewis Doodle did a video on it
It’s fun to see David Wood get so excited about this. He’s like a little kid telling you about his comic books. It’s awesome
4:19- When he mentioned the ultimate burn master, I just knew it had to be Diogenes. 😂😂😂
Me too 🤣😆😂😂😆
Actually no, I lied. I have no idea who that is. Sorry.

I like Aristotle so much that when someone asks if I want to go eat with them at Chipotle, I first correct their pronunciation of Chipotle.
I like Play-doh.
You guys are stupid and I hate myself for laughing .
It's Aristot-lay
That was actually how I first pronounced it… 😂
Favorite philosopher would be: Augustine of Hippo

Somehow, when my siblings and I were kids, we knew about Diogenes. We loved his stories. We had a wooden barrel in the backyard and sat it in, being Diogenes.
just subbed. good work, mate
Me too. Great channel.
I could listen to David Wood all day! And I'm an atheist. Thanks for the content. I may even subscribe.
I wonder if you or David Wood could convince me that God exists?
Adam Mackie Dr William Lane Craig can convince you.
I dont know about you but most atheists believe in evolution. Step 1: put that away for a moment and ask yourself if that could be wrong. Then youre on the right path. Step 2: pick up a bible and start reading. I read the new testament first since that is the new pact. Give Jesus a chance. I think if you learn about Him and see who He is, you would realise that if you and the hole world are standing by a river and say one thing, and Jesus is standing on the other side of the river and say another thing, you would jump in the river and swim over to Him. Trust in God not the men that are made by God. If you believe in evolution you can watch Kent Hovid vs evolutionists, he debates them even 3 against 1 and he destroys them every time. God bless you, i pray and hope that Jesus will touch your heart 💚🙏
British Dragon nobody can convince you, you are suppressing it, is like trying to convince a smoker why smoking is bad for them and you give them fact after fact but at the end they love their vice so much that no evidence will make them change their mind.
Do you believe yet?
Play-doh?

Oh wow David actually knows his history really well. I knew none of this about philosophy. If i was not so busy rying to get biblical doctrine right i'd go back and have a look at these
he is a philosopher
Ohhhh i did not know that
He has a phd in philosophy
Good for you to want to know more. Please, don't be the stereotypical religious/scientific person who knows only one thing.
@@JoshuaHults There is plenty of good philosophy podcasts that are 30 min episodes. I already knew all this information from listening to them while lifting weights.
YESSS. Haha I love how all the sons are named after philosophers. x) Favourite YTer ever.
Aristotle was the goat philosopher, he makes a good case for it.
...of course we wanted the long answer 😃 !!! That was very interesting, thank you... !!
I love this
Yo... David's wearing a Johnny Cash shirt!?!
I'm pretty sure everyone likes Diogenes.
Diógenes sound just like a pre conversion David Wood
He also sounds like a pagan version of Ezekiel.
Wow! Great video!
I wonder how David feels about Antisthenes and the other Cynics. He talked about Diogenes of Sinope at length, but Antisthenes was the founder and had much cooler and more intellectually deep ideas, in my opinion, and Zino and Crates of Thebes were also pretty interesting.
Great questions with great answers.
What more does one need? lol!
William lane craig is not a young earth preacher and that is a false gospel!
0:48 Socrates, Plato, Aristotle
1:21 Aristotle, all time favorite
2:46 Thomas Reid
4:12 Diogenes
8:50 Modern apologists: Alvin Plantinga, Dallas Willard
Not trying to be cynical, but I love Diogenes...
Plato isn't the only source of information we have for Socrates, our understanding of the historical Socrates comes more from one of other students, Xenophon. Also Aristotle didn't write any of the works that bear his name. All we have are lecture notes compiled by his students. According to Cicero, Aristotle also wrote in dialogue form, unfortunately none of them survived.
“Most” he corrected himself and said most.
I still disagree with the statement though. Plato, according to his own letters, intended to write a poetic representation of what Socrates was like. I think it was in the seventh letter, Plato said he never wrote down a single word of philosophy in his life (since, in his view, philosophy can't be written down, only acted out through lived experience). Xenophon was the one who recorded the historical actions and deeds of Socrates as they happened.
He's an enphyclopedia, also fun to listen.
Whos your favourite modern ... 20-21st centuary preacher?
For me, Tim Keller
Does the Apostle Paul count as a Philosopher?
That certainly wasn't his identity, (the APOSTLE Paul) but he was definitely WICKED smart and taught with philosophical presuppositions. In much the same way that David Wood is an apologist with a philosophical flair.
John Lennon must have learned from Diogenes.
Marcus Aurelius gets my vote. Idk if he counts the same as Diogenes but I never get sick of reading his words
One of my favorite philosophers is David Wood
i wasnt concetrating, and i thought he said, play dough.
That was really really good
Hmmm... Wonder if Diogénēs was a psychopath or sociopath? LOL!
He certainly didn't give a flying flip what anyone thought. Good for him!
If you're talking modern Christian philosophers, you can't forget Alasdair Macintyre, dude! Also Elizabeth Anscombe.
Playing Trivial Pursuits with my brother-in-law, he read out a question and pronounced Socrates as “Sew-Crates” the game didn’t last much like longer! 😂🤣
Hey brother, just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your commentaries I just want to make a suggestion, I would have on guest that aren't afraid to answer questions head-on with boldness and not concerned with dancing around a topic. Every video I've seen with your guest here, he refuses to respond head-on and appears to get fearful at times.
WHAT ABOUT THRICE-GREAT HERMES?
Arthur Blessitt used to walk around the world carrying a cross.
He made his own preaching opportunities.
Ah but Diogenes wasn't a Christian was he David. He was pagan. Now I roam the streets with a lantern looking for a pious man who remembers the traditions of those before him, but I can't find one in the church.
Jokes aside, I admire him as well.
Aristotle for one reason alone- empiricism
"You need a laxative because you're full of crap." LOOOL
GK Chesterton
Wesley
I thought he might say Jordan Peterson at the end, when talking about modern Christian philosophers.
Peterson isn't really a philosopher, even though he deals with philosophical topics quite often.
And I can't tell if he's a christian.
Even Peterson himself seems to think that it's not easy to answer with a definitive "yes" or "no" to that. Though he seems to be more comfortable with "yes".
Blake - He is not a Christian and I dont think he identifies as a philosopher. He is deffo smart as one though
Peterson is technically a psychologist, but he has the soul of a philosopher and it seems to be his true calling.
Aristotle actually tutored Alexander the Great.
Aristotle
My favorites are Seneca and Marcus Aurelius, but particularly Seneca. I find more good advice in Seneca's letters and essays than anywhere else.
Dallas Willard?
Uhh. What that one. Not too sure what team he plays for.
Buddha is my favorite.
David Wood got me excited to read Diogenes lol
If I am not mistaken, Diogenes never wrote a book.
Does anyone like Kierkegaard? I like some of his work, Fear and Trembling, is pretty good! Used to love Rousseau and Nietzsche because of his poetic work, however when i came back to Christianity i turned fiercely against such work! Plato, Socrates, kind of like Wittgenstein too. Basically i gave up on Philosophy when I went back to the Christian faith!
For some strange reason I thought Mohammed would be number 1 on D. Wood's list.
David is too fast and wants to speak all by himself. He needs to cool a bit down and let others speak as well.
Philosophy is his favorite subject. Why does he need to slow down? He is the one being interviewed.
When he said he liked Reed over Hume I was done. Hume intellectually crushes Reed. But then again, this is a Christian-aligned channel so what did I expect?
I don't think you understand what David was saying. He wasn't comparing Reed's intellect to Hume's, he wasn't even saying that he necessarily agreed with Reed. David was saying he liked Reed because of some of his antics. At the very end, David even says he loves Hume and respects his arguments even if he himself doesn't agree with them.
Speed-up
Are you sure you’re a Christian? I don’t think so… You get really excited about men and their knowledge which is foolishness to God. I kind of figured pretty much with all Trinitarian’s they love knowledge.
Nothing wrong with knowledge.
Diogenes also shat on Plato's desk.
