5 logical arguments made by Thomas Aquinas for the existence of God
POPULARITY
Today I will be taking Dr. Feser's Five Proofs book and analyzing the pros and cons. I will start with the chapter "Augustinian Proofs" since it comes the closest to the transcendental argument for God, as well as looking at other works about the inadequacy of bare monotheism, St Basil Vs Aristotle's "great architect of the universe god" and thus no natural theology in the Thomistic sense, as well as some rejoinders to these problems from St. Maximos, as well as Q n A and super chats.

This is a MEGA re-release episode with our 2 interviews with Dr. Edward Feser. The first comes from 2019 on his book Five Proofs of the Existence of God and the second from 2024 on What is Classical Theism. The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others.

Joseph Minich joins Todd and Carl to discuss his new book, Bulwarks of Unbelief. Millions of people in the West identify as atheists. Christians often respond to this reality with proof of God's existence, as though rational arguments for atheism were the root cause of unbelief. Joseph argues that a felt absence of God, as experienced by the modern individual, offers a better explanation for the rise in atheism. In response, Christians should reattune themselves to God's story, reintegrate the whole person, and re-inhabit the world so that faith can thrive in this age of unbelief. Our friends at Lexham Press have provided a few giveaway copies of Joseph's book for our listeners. Register here for the opportunity to win.

SPECIAL GUEST Brother Andre Marie host of ReConquest aired only on the Crusade Channel Follow Brother Andre on GAB and Twitter - @Brother_Andre There are several times that BOATS are placed into Gospels. The waves are coming into the boat and Jesus is asleep. This has long been interpreted as to Saint Peter's Bark, the Church itself. Like sometimes Jesus appears to be indifferent to the tribulations of His Church. He has his eye on the situation, when he woke up he rebuked him. I never noticed this before - Jesus got into the boat and His Disciples FOLLOWED Him. The following of Christ - poverty, chastity and obedience.

Edward Feser wrote a book called "Five Proofs" (for the existence of God). They are philosophical in nature... Michael's LEAST favorite kind of apologetic. Are they useful for fighting atheism? Let's talk about that!

In today's Rambam Bekius chavurah (12/2/20 at YBT) we attempted to answer the questions we raised yesterday on the Rambam's Mishneh Torah: Sefer ha'Mada, Hilchos Yesodei ha'Torah 1:1-6. We got some answers and didn't get others, but we definitely achieved our goal of thinking into the halachos! We conluded by going over a 15-minute summary of Ed Feser's "refurbished" version of the "prime mover argument" for God's existence, which the Rambam references in 1:5. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------מקורות:רמב"ם - משנה תורה, ספר המדע, הלכות יסודי התורה א:א-ו"Five Proofs of the Existence of God" (2017) by Edward FeserLink to my video on the etymology of the tetragrammaton: https://youtu.be/Q7ZFXzcub7I ---------------------------------------------------------------------------Bekius Disclaimer: Note that this is a bekius chavurah - as opposed to an iyun shiur.

In our last episode we talked with the Deac about St. Thomas Aquinas' Five Proofs for the Existence of God. Now that we've established how utterly reasonable it is to believe that God is real, let's dig a little deeper. Have you ever asked yourself why God created you, why you're here? Have you ever wondered what life means, and what your purpose is? As a young person I received explanations that left much to be desired. Even if they satisfied for a time, that begged the next question, why did a all Good God let man fall? Why did He allow Adam and Eve the opportunity to commit Original Sin? These questions, now more than ever, are extremely important for faithful Christians to be able to answer. Times are strange and secular culture seems to overshadow every area of our lives. How do we, as Christians, engage with others about the toughest questions? In this episode we are joined by the brilliant and wonderful Mauricio Romero to discuss Creation and the Fall of Man. I am beyond excited to share this fantastic conversation and attempt to get Chick-Fil-A sponsorship with you all! Thank you so much for listening, please share, and e-mail at sarah@sarahgomezspeaks.com with any questions, requests, comments, concerns, or sponsorship via a lifetime supply of Chick-Fil-A sauce. God bless you!
Hey y’all! Welcome back to another episode of the ‘cast. I’m so glad you’re here! This episode was so unbelievably fun to record, we were both in tears throughout. If you’ve been here for a minute, you know by now that Deac is a popular guest on the ‘cast, one of my dearest friends, a total genius, and one of the funniest, holiest, most wonderful people on the planet. I realized recently that I’ve thrown some heavy theological subjects at y’all, just assuming that you already believed in God. Well, we all know what happens when you assume! On today’s episode the Deac and I talk through St. Thomas Aquinas’ Five Proofs for the Existence of God. Belief in God is reasonable, y’all. Tune in to find out more, email me with questions (sarah@sarahgomezspeaks.com), and tell your friends! Thanks for listening, until next time!

In the thirteenth century, Thomas Aquinas revitalized Christian theology by applying principles of Greek philosophy to the explanation and defense of the Christian faith. Thomism, or the philosophical application of Aquinas's thought, has a privileged place in the Roman Catholic Church and has been embraced by a growing number of Evangelical and Protestant Thomists. Among non-Christians, Aquinas is usually encountered in first-year philosophy textbooks via excerpts of his five ways of proving the existence of God from his Summa Theologica. In addition, many atheists seeking to refute these proofs, often get wrong what Aquinas was teaching. This conversation is a discussion of each of Aquinas's five proofs and how to answer the atheist interpretation of them.This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with Journal author Trent Horn about his article from the 41:2 “Thomas Aquinas's Five Proofs for God Revisited”. https://www.equip.org/article/thomas-aquinass-five-proofs-for-god-revisited/We'd also like to invite you to subscribe to the Journal.

This lecture was given at Cornell University on February 11, 2020. For more events and info please visit https://thomisticinstitute.org/events-1. Prof. Edward Feser is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Pasadena City College, and has also been a Visiting Assistant Professor at Loyola Marymount University. He received a PhD in philosophy from the University of California at Santa Barbara. He is the author of books including Philosophy of Mind (A Beginner's Guide), The Last Superstition: A Refutation of the New Atheism, Aquinas (A Beginner's Guide), Scholastic Metaphysics: A Contemporary Introduction, NeoScholastic Essays, Five Proofs for the Existence of God, and By Man Shall His Blood Be Shed: A Catholic Defense of Capital Punishment. He blogs at http://edwardfeser.blogspot.com/
One of the age old debates is whether or not God exists. And the other debate is whether or not you can prove it. Very few, if any of us approach the question of God with an open mind, or as Professor Edward Feser says, a blank mind. Even the atheist can't prove definitively there's no God. He or she can believe there's no God, but God's existence is not dependent on your belief. But Feser, a writer and philosopher, is one of the powerful minds in the world today who have looked at the arguments about the existence of God. In his book, "Five Proofs of the Existence of God," the young professor reaches back to the ancients to make his point that there is far more proof that God exists than not.
In this episode of the podcast, I'm joined by apologist, author, speaker, and podcast host John DeRosa to tackle some of the major atheist, agnostic, and materialist-naturalist objections to God and the Catholic Church like the problem of suffering, belief in God as wishful thinking, and science vs. faith.John is the host of the incredible Classical Theism Podcast where, every week, he and a guest dive deep into topics of philosophy, theology, and apologetics to help listeners to better defend the God of Classical Theism, Jesus Christ, and the Catholic Church. Two resources mentioned on the show were,John's Interview with Dr. Robert Delfino on Aquinas's Third WayEdward Feser, Five Proofs of the Existence of GodFor more on John check out his website. John's Talking Points page, which includes some fantastic (and free!) apologetics resources, is available here. It's definitely worth a look!For more, visit The Cordial Catholic.

A viewer asks Father how if Lucifers soul was perfect how did he succumb to pride and fall, and how did he convince a third of the angels to follow him. Father responds with a lengthy discussion of the nature of God, the angles and man. He explains how the nature of Lucifer and the angels is such that they are capable of failing in their will even though they knew everything they needed to know to see the consequences of their decision. This is also why they cannot repent of their choice, unlike us and our flawed understanding. Being composite creatures (composed of act and potency) they are capable of change and thus the choice they made, versus God who is pure act and cannot change. Tom gives an interesting insight into an aspect of American sign language and how the ideas of self-respect and self-esteem are expressed with the hands. Other topics include a clarification, thanks to a viewer, on Putin, some follow-up from the Final Arrangements show, and the scandals occuring at a Novus Ordo school in Britain. If you would like to study further the philisophical points mentioned by Father Jenkins in this show, a good place to start would be Five Proofs of the Existence of God by Dr. Edward Feser, which can be purchased at the link below: https://www.amazon.com/Five-Proofs-Existence-Edward-Feser/dp/1621641333/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1516906930&sr=8-1&keywords=five+proofs+of+the+existence+of+god+edward+feser.

Dr. Edward Feser joins us to discuss Catholicism, God, and Science. In the first segment, he gives insight into what led him to Catholicism. Next, he interacts with Simon Blackburn's critique of his book Five Proofs of the Existence of God and answers an objection raised by the hosts of the Real Atheology podcast. Lastly, he provides a detailed overview of what to expect in his forthcoming book Aristotle's Revenge. The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others.
