Satan questioned God's authority. Notice how Satan offers Jesus the world? He's in charge. Satan is basically saying all intelligent beings should be able to live or rule however they want. But history has shown the results are a complete disaster and everyone suffers which only proves God right and Satan wrong. In reality of course Satan only wants to be God and be worshipped himself. That's why he asks Jesus to do something for him https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temptation_of_Christ

God is already all in all, we must recapitulate the virtues, this path is now open to us due to Christ assuming human nature.

>Psalm 115:3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.
God is omnipotent, omniscient, etc. God exists on such an unfathomably higher plane of existence when compared to man that the notion of us lowly humans being able to understand the motivation and reasoning behind why God does what God does is hilarious at best, offensive at worst, and utterly futile in all possible attempts.

finite minds pondering the infinite, St. Dionysius makes it clear that God is above both sensible and intelligible objects as He is their creator, or from scripture:
"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
while we partake of His grace, according to our disposition (the analogy of the seals from St. Dionysius) ultimately God's essence is unknowable.

yeah he is wrong, Christ's suffering on the cross has shown us that we must transfigure ourselves through suffering in order to attain to the glory of resurrection. God helps us with this through His grace.

Bart is well known for not shoving his views unto others. Of course, as an academic, he will talk about his views about Biblical research etc., but he never ridicules believers and tells them they're wrong. His approach is more: "These are the facts, come to your own conclusion. Personally my conclusion is x"

This is why he's way betyer than Dawkins, Harris and all the other fedora atheists

So he's an atheist who studies the bible??? Interesting, like I said when I watched his videos I couldn't tell if he was advocating for Christianity or against it, so that says a lot about how neutral he is. As a Christian myself, I can respect him for being professional and academic about his beliefs

He even used to be a hardcore Evangelical Christian, that's the whole reason he enrolled into academia. He always wanted to become a NT scholar, reading the NT in its original language. Then as time went on as he studied, he became agnostic. He's not an atheist per se. There could be a God. It's just that he doesn't believe in the Judeo-Christian God.

He is a professor at my university. He used to be Christian, then converted to very liberal Christianity, then stopped being a Christian altogether because of the problem of pain and evil. Probably depends on how old the lecture is, but his background means he's pretty good at trying to balance faith

Its not a shame to not have all the answers, it's a shame to pretend you have all the answers. Life should be a constant search for knowledge and if you're so arrogant to pretend you know everything, then there's no reason to seek knowledge at all. Socrates was the wisest of all Greeks but not because he knew everything, but rather because he admitted to know nothing and therefore dedicate his life to learning.
