    Reason number four breaks my heart as a current student in the Theological field but it does make sense when we keep in mind the nature of humanity. Like you said, the personal piety is not always there alongside the doctrinal knowledge.

      Since you have a Ph.D in theology...
      maybe you can answer a basic and essential question:
      -----------------
      Here is my question... why are you NOT teaching the following:
      ------------
      Mat 22:2 specifically NAMES the (2nd) Jewish "Kingdom of Heaven" and
      Mat 13 (several verses) NAMES the (3rd) Christian "Kingdom of Heaven" and
      Mat 25:1-13 specifically NAMES the (4th) Great Tribulation "Kingdom of Heaven"
      and the (5th) Eternal "Kingdom of Heaven" is specifically NAMED in several
      different chapters, including Mat 5 and 7 and 8 and 19.
      ---------
      The only "Kingdom of Heaven" which is NOT specifically NAMED in Scripture
      is the (1st) Pre-Flood Kingdom which contained all the saints from Adam to Noah
      ---------
      Since GOD has specifically NAMED these five (5) separate and distinct
      "Kingdoms of Heaven" on earth... why are YOU not preaching this truth?

    Man Pastor Cooper you have to represent Lutheranism in the show of the TH-cam channel "The Ten Minute Bible Hour" this is pretty out of context, but I just watched him learning about Eastern Orthodoxy and Anglicanism. If you represent us, this would be huge I think! For your channel personally (You really deserve more attention) and for our confession in general. Just wanted to throw this in :D

      @@wisevirgin3405 Maybe because no one really cares about what "Jim" has to say. Sending people copypasta emails is not going to get people responses, and if it is, you'll probably just get a "no", because why would anyone bother with "Jim" 's pet theory. Also it doesn't help when you capitalized words like you're writing some schizo manifesto. "Jim" evidently has delusions of grandeur. He thinks he doesn't get responses because his theology is ironclad, but in truth, he gets no responses because he is a clown with NO impact. Seriously, if i look up "5th Kingdom of Heaven", your website is the only place that has your goofy theories. No one even knows about you guys(i am being very generous by using the plural), if you would i'd see more than your own site/
      It's also funny how you guys have a built in get-out-of-deleting-your-site care. As your site says "There's only one caveat: Any refutation must come from Scripture and not someone's "interpretation" of Scripture. It's simply not enough to present personal "feelings" or "opinions" and pretend that somehow can substitute for Scripture." It is clear you will just label any refutation as mere "interpretation" anyways, SO WHY BOTHER? And I'm sorry, but it's pretty clear that you are doing exactly this, "interpreting" scripture according to your "feelings". It is you who tries to twist scripture, not us.

    I appreciate this. My PhD isn't in theology and my first academic book definitely was referenced more than yours in what I'd think of as a smaller field. However your description of the politics in your academic field makes me appreciate the growth my field has seen in the last decade. It's far less toxic today in my field. Has there been similar growth in theology? Also, so right about adjunct work. It's fine as an evening job, but not a way to raise a family or be rooted in a community. I find it easier working in a middle school, for now, because I can get articles sent to me by friends in the field and keep a finger on the pulse of my field in a different way than can be done in the proverbial ivory tower. Because I do Philosophy Of that field it's likely similar in theology that is eminently doable outside of the academy.

      @Dale Casselman I think if you're smart, you realize pretty quickly how little you know even about something that you're an expert on. Those who are slightly less intelligent suffer of the Dunning-Kruger effect, which is basically a life-long systemic self-delusion that you're way smarter and quick-witted than you really are. I know too many people who suffer of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

    Maybe the Church Fathers were wiser than we are in that they kept the Creeds to a bare minimum. They didn't even go into what we might consider critical doctrine about exactly how we're saved. While their reluctance to hash out all the details is frustrating, equally frustrating is when you realize that theological speculation NEVER ENDS and a lot of it can't be objectively proven. (Sorry, but a person's deep personal feelings or personal revelation isn't always "true.") Your opponent can have equally good reasoning and proof, especially when you view things from a different paradigm. Now, I DO think theological argumentation may have some value and some people are called to it, but remember C.S. Lewis' warning that Satan's most subtle temptation can be to tempt a person at the very steps of the altar. When anger, greed, and pride begin to overshadow love toward others, Satan is winning the battle.

    Thank you for another awesome video, Reverend Doctor Cooper. I love your videos and I used your book "The Great Divide: A Lutheran Evaluation of Reformed Theology" as a source in one of my upcoming history books on the Renaissance and the Reformation, so someday you'll be receiving a free book written by me. Whenever I use one of your books, articles, or TH-cam videos, I'll give credit, where credit is due, as I do with all of my sources, and I'll give you free books written by me. I agree with most of what you say in your videos, but I don't think, blogging before seminary is totally a bad thing, but I think, attitude is the key issue. A positive attitude and a willingness to admit, that "I don't know everything, but I'm eager to learn as much as possible," are extremely beneficial. Granted most of my published and forthcoming published works are Christian romance novels, mythology books, and history books. Granted I put Lutheran theology in all three of those genres of books, because my readers need, what we have as Confessional Lutherans. However, most of my readers are Lutherans, Catholics, and different types of Pagans. I know, that's a strange group of readers, but Lutheran books are hard to find, many Catholics say to me, "You're Lutheran? Well you're close enough," and Pagans struggle to find books written about Pagan gods and goddesses. As an author, I have discovered, that diversity is critically import to getting more readers. Getting back to my blog posts, I think, they're too controversial. Plus I lack the time and desire to fight with people, because being in sales has taught me to be positive all the time. I also don't let, what other people think about me and/or my books stop me or slow me down, because I know, I have loyal readers and I'm serving both the Holy Trinity and my loyal readers. I'm doing, what Yahweh, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit want me to do, I'm serving people, and I'm having fun, while I do it. Yeah Lutheran professors, lecturers, and teacher should probably only apply at Lutheran and Catholic universities and schools, because low church Protestants can be pretty hateful. I was slandered and refused employment at a "Christian" school in my hometown, but I'm actually happy, because I sub at two Catholic schools and I'm everyone's favorite substitute teacher, since I'm "the singing sub" and I write books. Plus that "Christian" school in my hometown is a literal den of demons.

    Thank you for these words of wisdom. The first point is very important that our hearts may be guarded from pride, etc.
    Also I kinda of knew about not everything is sunshine and rainbows in this field lol, not surprising we are dealing with HUMAN beings lol, and the funny thing is those that don’t bear fruit and think they are supreme and filled with pride, how do they study and know these things but still do it lol, modern day pharisees😂.
    Thanks again for your wise words! May God bless you

      Here is my question... why are you NOT teaching the following:
      ------------
      Mat 22:2 specifically NAMES the (2nd) Jewish "Kingdom of Heaven" and
      Mat 13 (several verses) NAMES the (3rd) Christian "Kingdom of Heaven" and
      Mat 25:1-13 specifically NAMES the (4th) Great Tribulation "Kingdom of Heaven"
      and the (5th) Eternal "Kingdom of Heaven" is specifically NAMED in several
      different chapters, including Mat 5 and 7 and 8 and 19.
      ---------
      The only "Kingdom of Heaven" which is NOT specifically NAMED in Scripture
      is the (1st) Pre-Flood Kingdom which contained all the saints from Adam to Noah
      ---------
      Since GOD has specifically NAMED these five (5) separate and distinct
      "Kingdoms of Heaven" on earth... why are YOU not preaching this truth?
