I finally got around to logging on to youtube and recording some video. Several folks have been asking me to do a series of videos on the Early Church and the Early Church Fathers, and I hope I will have the time to put a series together. Here is the first installment; www.youtube.com/user/joemccowan1

Great video, Joe. Looking forward to more! I especially liked the rooster crowing in the background, lol. The roosters are always crowing in the background at our house! They crow when it is light outside, not just at daybreak. We have chickens, goats and dogs, so I imagine there will be plenty of background music in the videos. I was planning on starting this series a year ago, but never got around to it. A friend of mine who wanted me to do the series so he could watch it in Florida, died Sunday. I grabbed my camera and filmed this a few hours after I got the news yesterday. He jokingly said I should do a combination skateboard/theology series since he knew I skated, so the skateboarding in the video is a tribute to him. Enough procrastinating. I'm going to try to do at least one video per week. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Blessings, Joe

Liked the video. Glad you are doing this brother...
One thing, isn't his name spelled Irenaeus and pronounced Ear-a-nay-is?

One thing, isn't his name spelled Irenaeus and pronounced Ear-a-nay-is? Depends on who you ask. I was wandering who would notice this first. I have record of his name being spelled both ways. The Greek Orthodox guys tell me the correct spelling is Iraeneus, but I guess it is a translation either way. As far as the pronunciation, I seldom pronounce anything exactly right. I pronounce re-ca-pit-u-la-tion, re-cap-tu-lation and can't for the life of me get it right. Big lips+big tongue+ southern accent= poor pronunciation

Figured it was something like that. I did notice the recapitulation thing as well ;D but didn't want to say anything...

Sorry! Disclaimer posted; The first of a series of videos that will cover various subjects as they relate to the Early Church Fathers. Be forewarned, I commonly mispronounce names and terms. Iraeneus (also spelled Irenaeus) is actually pronounced Ear-a-nay-is not Ear-rainy-us, and recapitulation is re-ca-pit-u-lay-tion not re-cap-shoe-lay-shun. I know, no need to correct me, I just have a hard time pronunciating at times. I apologize in advance.

This is funny, We actually have a lot in common Joe. I have a shaved head (for 14 yrs), i usually have a goatee (but have a full beard now), and i have trouble pronouncing words, too! That's probably why i didn't notice you doing it.

Okay, we were all wrong. A linguist informed me that the correct pronunciation of Irenaeus is;
ai-rehn-EE-uhs (with the emphasis on the EE)
Evidently, I pronounce it correctly aside from the emphasis. From now on, I am going to find the correct pronunciation of names before I use them (on video at least). I read them all the time, but rarely hear them read or spoken.
Also found out that the spelling Irenaeus is the preferred Latin form and Iraeneus is the Greek derivative. That explains the reason some of the Greek guys were defensive about the spelling, seeing one form is associated with the RCC and the other with the GOC. Interesting stuff....

Interesting indeed. I've never heard anyone pronounce his name like that before...

Score.... I found the ultimate website for those hard to pronounce Biblical names and terms. It has the pronunciation in written and audio form. This one is going to my favorites list for sure. biblespeech.com/

Irenaeus said:
And when we come to refute them, we shall show in its fitting-place, that this class of men have been instigated by Satan to a denial of that baptism which is regeneration to God, and thus to a renunciation of the whole [Christian] faith. (Irenaeus, Against Heresies, Book One, Ch. 21)
For as we are lepers in sin, we are made clean, by means of the sacred water and the invocation of the Lord, from our old transgressions; being spiritually regenerated as new-born babes, even as the Lord has declared: “Except a man be born again through water and the Spirit, he shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” (Ibid., Fragments from the Lost Writings of Irenaeus, Ch. 34)
