Quite funny! This fellow has real comedic talent.
It is remarkable, when you step back to consider it, that this video is by a trinitarian. It’s main point is: no one really knows what these traditional words mean (those of the “Athanasian” Creed); we just say them. Trying to understand those words is futile.
A striking amount of trust, for a Protestant, in an anonymous 5th century writer, and in the nameless Roman Catholics who made it authoritative in the medieval centuries. (The author is a Lutheran.)
What is this stance? That is, what move is the author really making, and commending to us?
Indeterminate.
It could be negative mysterianism. Could be restraint. Could be redirection. (Listen TO… THE… WORDS…)
