We all liked the part where the Methodists said "It's Methodin' time!" and then they methoded all over the places. Truly one of the methods of all time. 🧪⚗🧑🔬👨🔬👩🔬🧂⚕
"Jesse I need to anoint your son David to be the next king of Israel, Saul is not a good man."
Or the part where the orthodontics said "it's orthodoxy time" and fixed my teeth all over the place
@@Account1987-zy2dw better not call Saul
So... they knocked your teeth out and fixed them to the walls?
By the thumbnail, I'm a Methodist apparently.
You missed the part about the Dutch Reformed, who differ from other reformed traditions on the theological question of "should mints be passed around during service?" to which every other group simply responded "What?"
This made me laugh out loud. Way too real. My reformed church couldn't install motion activated lights in the sanctuary because they turn off 5 minutes into the service
All DENOUNCE the MOCKING of Jesus Christ and the SCRIPTURES!
Wilhelmina mints ;)
@@matthewdekraker8665 I remember the motion activated lights thing being an issue as well - good to know it's not just my lot!

I'm Catholic and many of our priests actually say this: If you live truly and sincerely your faith, the church does not matter. You will be saved. See ya in heaven, protestant bros.
Edit: Apparently, many people did not understand what I wanted to say. If you are BORN and RAISED to one faith, and live it sincerely, you'll be saved. As some people pointed, of course, from the POV of us catholics, shifting away is sin. Real unknowledge is excusable. Search for the truth, though.
Are you saying that you're 100% going to heaven? Just asking.
Look, I don't know what church you are and I don't want to argue much so I'll respectufully give you my honest belief. Yes, I will go to heaven because Jesus unlocked it for me. Yet I'm free and capable of rejecting His sacrifice by sinning, so I have to work on that.
@@jozefhorvath7129 If you want to know my church, just ask.
So you believe you just have to believe in Jesus, and you will 100% go to heaven?
@@paldennorbu8808 No, I don't believe in Sola fide as a Catholic. Faith without works is dead, as James has written in his epistle. What is your church then?
@@jozefhorvath7129 This I agree with, but nobody can be 100% certain they're going to heaven, so saying "See you in heaven" is incorrect. And I am Eastern Orthodox.
There are no denominations in Heaven
Of course not, but that is not a case against denominations. In heaven, if we have a question, God will be right there to answer it. Down here on Earth, we have to interpret things for ourselves, and as long as we still have the essentials, it is ok to disagree, and form denominations.
@mrjohnson1627 the church is the bride of Jesus.
So the church is what interprets what the bible means
For example you and your wife. who is more qualified to explain to me what you actually mean when you speak?
Some random person that heard you, or your wife?
Exactly
ALL christians think that THEIR ideas are THE truth.
@@jovanic38I see what you're going for but there's a massive flaw with what you're saying. If I say something, and you come to me to explain you'd get my explanation. The things Jesus meant is going through random people, not directly from him. I've been to different kinds of churches. They all change what the scripture says to slightly altered beliefs. If it was as simple as the churches get it right all the time, we wouldn't have so many kinds of Christianity.
"Does the Bishop of Rome have authority over all bishops?" would be a better Catholics versus Orthodox question.
Possibly. But the huge Trinity difference is arguably more important.
@@Mr_Sarcasum It depends. Some Orthodox don't have a problem with the Filioque per se, but they object to its inclusion in the Creed. Others do consider the Filioque to be a heretical innovation.
@@Mr_Sarcasum There are some orthobros who support the filloque and some eastern Catholics who disagree with it
East and West have generally (but no universally!) agreed upon a trinitarian formulation that satisfies both traditions. While there are other nuanced differences, the most prominent is the papacy.
@@Mr_Sarcasum Only among hard-line modern Orthodox. Some modern Orthodox agree with the Latin and Greek Fathers that "through the Son" is an acceptable statement of how the Spirit proceeds, and Rome has clarified that this is what the filioque means (CCC 248).
As the late Metropolitan Kallistos Ware said: “The filioque controversy which has separated us for so many centuries is more than a mere technicality, but it is not insoluble. Qualifying the firm position taken when I wrote "The Orthodox Church" twenty years ago, I now believe, after further study, that the problem is more in the area of semantics and different emphases than in any basic doctrinal differences."
The question of papal supremacy is undoubtedly the major point of division between Catholic and Orthodox.
What an informative video. As a Protestant, or perhaps a Congregationalist, I believe the common faith all Christians share. Sadly, I also see the corruption and the inappropriate things churches have done.

As a Methodist, I’d revise your take that our actions are more important than our beliefs, solely because it kind of sounds like a faith-by-works deal. I’d say something like “The Lord convicts us to enact His will.” I also say “Scripture informs my faith, my faith informs my actions.” I appreciate the time you take to look into the different denominations!
I like how you put that.
I'm looking for a church to join but not exclusively for worship. I love the idea of joining a church that is involved and helps in the community.
I feel closer to God when I shake the hand of a stranger and saying "God Bless you" than I do after a service. 🙏
Has your church split from the united methodist church yet. My church is voting in either january or february
What is meant by faith being more important than work? how is faith distinguished from belief in this context? How is it not just work that never leaves your head?
James 2:18
@theviewbotit’s not about lacking good works. It’s about choosing to not do good works.
I would like to add for lutherans, since the whole faith alone vs faith with works is often a bit misunderstood. Works very much are expected of you as a lutheran, it's just that no amount of works will ever bring you salvation, only faith in Christ will. You do not earn salvation by doing good, you do good to show thankfulness to God for the salvation you have already been given by way of Christ's death on the cross and His resurrection.
Basically, Lordship Salvation. Works are necessary in salvation but not necessary in causing salvation. It's a W view
Would like to contrast it with my Catholic view, which is also often misunderstood:
For us, faith in Christ also requires believing in the teachings of Christ. Belief in those teachings materializes in works. Saying "Lord, Lord" is not faith. You need to show your faith in your works, just like how Abraham showed it through being willing to sacrifice his son to God. That is how we explain Romans and Jacob both being true.
@@BornAgainChris Yeah basically EARNING a free gift and maintaining it by doing good works. Totally W moments here
Protestants actually come off as less sympathetic the older I get. And I grew up in a Lutheran country.
As a Methodist, I would add "amen." Entirely biblical.
No matter what denomination we all agree Jesus is the savior and he saved us all.
Some denominations, however, are excluding Jesus nowadays. For example; the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church is now getting more focused on Mary and other saints and kicking out those who preach about Jesus Christ and calling them "heretics".
Thats a lie@@smret.6783
Presenting Christianity as a decision tree honestly is a great way to frame things. For me, that question of Bible or Church is/was incredibly important as I grew out of simply worshiping with one denomination simply b/c it's we're my family went.
Not really, you only need to look at Church history and read what the Church Fathers wrote, to understand how the Eastern Orthodox Church is the Church that Christ himself established 2000 years ago.
It's a sticky point because Christianity and the church predates the Bible by many decades. Indeed, most of the early Christians were illiterate anyway.

Honestly, let's appreciate how rich Christianity is.
I find Christology truly fascinating. It can get really deep, it dances with Philosophy and it also provides spiritual experiences with a root in mystery.
I considered myself an atheist, deist at most, for decades, and with a deterministic and physicalist worldview where I left no room for religion. But I've been getting into theology lately and Christianity is such a big iceberg of thought, culture, tradition, History, Philosophy and faith, that it's fascinating by itself.
Despite all the denominations, the core aspects are always the same, Christ saving us.
Former atheist myself, and you are so right. I used to believe the common cultural assumption that it was ridiculous, outdated fables...watching Jordan Peterson's biblical lectures totally blew my mind...Blessings to you

As a pentecostal, I think "Should we speak in tongues" would be a better question. "Must we" gives the impression that baptism in the Holy Spirit is a requirement for salvation, which the overwhelming majority of pentecostal churches reject.
Yes. Whilst some Pentecostals think tongues are essential, it’s probably a minority belief.
Yes, and most also reject the notion that you must on purpose try to completely cease from sinning ever.
I mean, it should be everyone's goal, but it's not a part of salvation to do so.
The correct translation is not speaking in tongues, but speaking in languages. The Greek word for tongue is "γλωσσα" pronounced "glossa". But glossa is also the word for language. This is meant to refer to a phenomenon where two people can communicate with one another without knowing each other's language. I speak to you in Greek, and you can understand fully what I am saying, you then answer me in English and I understand you fully (assuming I do not know any English). I have heard a couple of personal testimonies from foreign speakers who were able to communicate with newly canonized Greek Orthodox saints by speaking in languages.
@@stevepa999 you’re wrong.
The Church existed BEFORE the Bible and there are recorded councils where they met to decide which books to include. The creation of the Bible was obviously guided by God but it seems clear that the Church He built has authority over the text he inspired them to create.
Has that church brought forth new scripture?
Hmmmmm. 2 Peter 3:15-16, the Apostle Peter says that the writings of the Apostle Paul are Scripture. Paul's writings are a huge chunk of the New Testament. This by the way is before 64-65 AD. Factually speaking, almost all of the current New Testament books that we have today were quoted by the earliest Christians as Scripture, beginning in the late first century, and definitely throughout the second century. What the councils of the 4th century did was exclude books that didn't belong, but those that made it were already considered canonical centuries before by the earliest Christians.
Lutherans say yes to needing leadership (aka Bishops though we may use different names such as president). It's in the Augsburg Confession. Just because we called out corrupt Bishops abusing their authority does not mean we think them unnecessary. On the other hand, if a bishop was to use their authority against scripture then said bishop loses their authority and ought to be disobeyed. AC Article 28 explains the above in better detail.
It is better to ask, "Is apostolic sussession necessary for ordaining pastors?" than, "Does the Church need to be lead by Bishops?"
@@christopherboyd9855
I thought that both Lutheran and Anglican churches necessitated apostolic succession.
@@christopherboyd9855They hold that belief in Swedish churches at least.
@CheekyHaggis We don't necessitate it but it is cool to have. I'm a Lutheran pastor without apostolic sussession. It would have been cool if I had it, but even though I don't that doesn't negate my ordination. So good on Sweden for having it. Article 28 covers this a bit, but the Solid Declaration and other documents covers such in more detail. Looking at the history of Lutheranism in America before 1776 also bring to light why apostolic sussession was encouraged but not mandatory.
A better question to separate Anglicans and Lutherans, "Believe in unifying under a single Bishop?" Anglicans have the Bishop of Canterbury.
I’m Pentecostal, and I’ve never had a pastor, believe that you can stop sinning altogether
That's more of a Wesleyan thing than a Pentecostal belief. Some Pentecostals carried entire sanctification over from Methodism, but it's largely ignored today.
And the Assemblies of God, the largest Pentecostal denomination, has never taught entire sanctification.
Wesleyan churches (Methodist, Nazarenes) in recent years have begun to restate the teaching of entire sanctification in terms of total consecration to Jesus as opposed to "never sinning again".
Yea I'm a Methodist, at least these days "entire sanctification" isn't an absence of sin, but a perfection of christian character. Recognizing when you sin, repenting, and earnestly trying not to sin was what I was taught about the concept.
Roman's say God removed the power of sin from us. Colossians says our sin nature has been cut away. Why do think humility is saying I'm a sinner. We're no longer sinners we are Saints. It's not a sin issue Jesus took care of that. It's an identity issue
Thankfully I never started sinning in the first place. Never done a sin in my 60 plus years on this planet.
Catholic Church doesn’t say it has “more authority” than the Bible. The Bible was assembled from manuscripts chosen by the church, and therefore the church shares authority with the words of the scriptures it included in the New Testament.
Was about to comment this! It's a bad premise to frame Catholicism but what can ya do. Mt 16 "And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it." The Catholic Church's teachings are based on the Word of God. Thus according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #86 "Yet this Magisterium is not superior to the Word of God, but is its servant... At the divine command and with the help of the Holy Spirit, it listens to this devotedly, guards it with dedication and expounds it faithfully." Thus Catholic belief is that, as written in Scripture, God put the Catholic Church's authority over us.
@David19746
Don't display eloquent ignorance as a well-versed schismatic. The blatant error of insisting that the rock in Matthew 16:18 is Jesus, and any attempt of confirming it, only shows that you don't have a clue either in verses exegesis or connecting the right dots.
Try google it and come back.
As an Eastern Orthodox, I just learnt I have the belief that I can become God
Not literally, but by being divinized, that’s why St. Athanasius said “God became man that man might become God”
It's a W belief as a Protestant
So, we become united to God through His energies, which are God, We don't become God in essence but we become participators in God.
But mormons also think that you can become a "God"
@@francocarrieri9625 Bro the Mormons' version is beyond cursed. Do not compare that to the gem of theosis
No one on the left argues that the church has "more authority than the Bible." Rather, we argue that the church's INTERPRETATION of the Bible has more authority than your INTERPRETATION of the Bible.
I have noticed that Protestants have a very difficult time distinguishing between their interpretation of scripture and scripture itself.
Well, when the Bible is myth, it’s hard to interpret the Bible when Christian’s make so much crap up.
I mean, the church put the Bible together originally. Before the council of Nicea there wasn't consensus on which books were divinely inspired. And to this day, Catholics include a couple extra, though it's a pretty minor difference.
There's a similar split in Judaism between Beta Israel (the Ethiopian Jews) and the others - the Ethiopians have Enoch iirc.
@stardorminey9799 I agree with you. I'm just saying that protestants have a very difficult time comprehending the fact that their interpretation if scripture is just one of many interpretations. They present the issue like the Church (Orthodox, Romam Catholic, etc) are ignoring parts of the Bible in favor of the Church decisions. That is not the case.
@voxelsofsorrow That's not quite accurate. I was surprised to learn recently that the idea of the Canon being set at Nicea was an invention of Voltaire. Not sure when the Canon was actually set, though I know there was a proposed Canon nearly identical to the current predating nicea by centuries.
@@Placeboshotgun the canon was basically set by 150 AD. Many of the second century fathers speak of it. Nicea was about heretical writings that had to be denounced, not "creating the Bible". Heresies such as Arianism, Gnosticism (a religion that goes as far back as Heraclitus) were being accepted by a largely illiterate church and it was necessary to refocus the church leaders, not parishioners, on what was acceptable for teaching.
Christian, just Christian. No church no denomination just Jesus Christ and the Bible.
The Bible only makes Christians only.
As a Pentecostal, I don't think we'd say people must speak in tongues, we would just say that people can speak in tongues, and it is beneficial to do so.
It is demonic. Christ began one Church united by the apostles..if your church is not apostolic, you are in a false religion.
Exactly, it’s not a must. I will say there are some Pentecostals who do believe hardcore that you have to but a majority that I know would disagree
And the whole part of not being able to sin anymore at the end of a Pentecostal is untrue. We all fall short of the glory of God.
Why is there 0 apologetics around tongues?
I grew up in a church that spoke tongue, non-denom.
I said to myself, if this is real, it should be translatable.
I said to myself, if this is real, it should glorify God and be useful.
In the end, after reading what happened in the Bible, regarding tongues and seeing the church. I saw that in the Bible, people understood the person speaking tongues, and it was useful and it was glorifying God.
Yet in the church, the only people that can "understand it" seem to be using their imaginations, as the words seemingly mean nothing on their own. It seems also vain, and meaningless as we all speak the same language.
@danielbrowniel I agree 100%. The entire modern pentecostal movement is based a misunderstanding of how tongues worked in the NT.
The thing about the first question is that before I found orthodoxy and knew what Catholicism was I would have said yes, but knowing that the church and the traditions taught by Jesus, came before the Bible now, I say no and it’s hard to be anything but Orthodox or Catholic if you hold that belief ☦️
You are right, because Jesus founded a Church, not a book.
Not only that, He gave the Church authority to bind things on Earth like in Heaven, and the Church got the keys to Heaven. And Jesus guaranteed that the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church.
The Church many, many years later decided that it would be a good idea to compile a book as a tool, one of many tools to help follow Christ.
And Protestants came and put this text above the Church, as if the Christian faith could be limited in a mere text, they decreased the number of books included in the compilation, and proceeded to deny any way to follow Jesus that is not explicitly stated in their version of the book. And it only led to continuous branched divisions and stone throwing among Christians. It's madness.
technically scripture (OT) existed before the apostolic church, the church just compiled scripture into what we know as the bible. All scripture is God breathed so yes God did give us the scriptures and He also gave us the church
@@neochris2the jews were compiling scriptures (not in book form) long before the apostolic church. you can keep trying to credit the church for everything but it’s God who gave us the scriptures and preserved them. The Church is also not limited to the confines of your institution but it rather encompasses all true believers everywhere.
Jesus founded a Church, and God gave men his Word through the Bible so that we can learn and understand. I would rather believe entirely on the words of the Apostles than submitting to a tradition that they not only did not express, but that directly contradicts them (see indulgences). The Bible is not "a mere text".@@neochris2
I think the first question is very interesting to me. Yes, the Church came before the New Testament of the Bible, but the Bible is our main resource from back then to know the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. I think the question should not necessarily be which has more authority, but if their should be a "church government" or not. The Pope is not The Church. Catholic leaders have done many messed up things, and so have some of the "saints." Should we listen to them when things they say don't line up with scripture? The Protestants opened it up for the common man to determine the truth for themselves through scripture instead of just listening to "church authority." The protestant movement opened us up to interpret scripture for ourselves and believe what we think it says and is right. I think the difference is that Protestants believe the Church is all people who believe in Jesus and follow Him, whereas the Catholics believe the Church is those who believe in and follow all of the church fathers and leadership. (I'm using the words "Catholic" and "Protesant" loosely to describe those on each side of this first question.)
Never watched your videos. Never heard of your channel.
But was thinking earlier today that I needed to find a video just like this.
Didn’t look it up or anything. And then found this in my feed.
Idk what that means but I’m subscribing lol
I think most Baptist also believe that Baptism is the act of your old self die and being raised again with Jesus, but one thing I have struggled with is that I was born a Christian so I’ve never really had a born again experience, I’ve always known Jesus and God and while when I was younger I didn’t really understand what was going on I now follow Christ with all my heart
The born again experience is just being saved. That’s it, you believe your saved done instant salvation because it’s literally a free gift.
I have a similar story where I was raised christian and I can't pinpoint the moment or even a year when I was saved, at one point I then decided that I want to get baptised, when I was sure in my faith and my parents had also made sure I understood what being baptised means.
From a Lutheran perspective, we really de-emphasize the "experience" aspect of salvation. At the final judgment, God isn't going to look to your salvation "experience". People experience being born again very differently. For Paul, it was a real night-and-day difference. For Timothy on the other hand, the faith was passed down and he grew up in faith (2 Timothy 1:5). We don't have this crazy conversion experience for Timothy. But it doesn't make Timothy's faith any "less" than Paul's. Our Lord said that faith even as small as a mustard seed could move mountains. Also remember the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15. To the son who had always served and obeyed, who didn't have this crazy conversion experience that the prodigal son had, the father nonetheless said, "Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours."
You can be born and raised into Christian cultures and rulesets, but upon knowing the gospel, you have to make the decision for yourself to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
Christianity is not a country or government - you can not be put into it at birth, and no one can declare you a Christian against your will.
The entirety of Romans chapter 10 explains this, drawing parallels between the Christians of the first church, and the Jews of the Old Testament.
@@jncp5965 We should be careful not to mistake "faith" for a decision we make. It is the Holy Spirit who creates faith, and since it is the Holy Spirit rather than our own will, any decision at a given point in time is not really relevant, as it may or may not represent when faith was given to us, and is not the cause of that faith.
You can be brought up as a baby into the new covenant of grace by baptism, in the same way babies were brought up into the old covenant by circumcision on their 8th day of life. That is a precious gift to be given, but like all gifts, it can be rejected by the baptized later in life, through their own decision to abandon their birthright (parable of the prodigal son).
Faith is a trust in the Lord for salvation, and we know for a fact that infants can have this trust, directly from scripture, meaning that the holy spirit can and does work in babies even absent any visible capability for "making a decision". "Yet you are he who took me from the womb; you made me trust you at my mother's breasts. On you was I cast from my birth, and from my mother's womb you have been my God." -- Psalms 22:9-10
I am a Pentecostal Christian and I have never heard from all the churches I have attended to be completely sinless based on works, dedicated to God and the church. As far as I know only one can be blameless and that is Jesus.
I am a follower of Christ. The bible holds authority over me now and forever.
The description of the Baptist theology of salvation by grace through faith alone Fits Presbyterians as well and is more standard across reformed (protestant) churches. Aside from not baptizing children, the main difference Baptists have is that they are independent of each other, similar to congregationalist churches.
Dude you really gotta stop misrepresenting churches here. Like get some friends who actually are part of these faiths, and get them to write the script for each one because every single Catholic, Orthodox, Oriental Christian, even some lutheran points are totally misrepresented.

I do want to clarify that in the Baptist faith, some people can be born again very young, and for a lot of those people we can’t pinpoint a specific time where we had a born again experience. I think the born again experience happens the moment you believe in Jesus and His promises, whether that happens at 2 years old or 20 years old.
Christ established one Church united by the apostles. If your church is not apostolic, you are in a false religion.

@@williamzee7748The Church of Christ, or Mormons, don’t agree with Christians on most of the basic fundamentals of Christianity, nor do they use or refer to the Nicene Creed, which is the document stating what is required to believe to be Christian. There are multiple sources that go into more detail on why the Church of Christ is not Christian and their malpractices if you want to do your own research. But if you are a Mormon, than the only reason your church says you’re Christian is because you also use the Bible, but not to the extent that other Christians do.

Exactly. And a lot of Pentecostals don’t say you MUST speak in tongues (some do not all) but you are encouraged to speak in tongues.
I'm Catholic, but I started shifting more and more to Protestantism, especially the Lutheranism. I realized that I basically don't pray to Saints and Mary, don't really believe in purgatory and buying prayers for the dead and I became sick of the corrupted priests

Don't leave. You'll be giving up more than you realize.
What are your issues with the idea of the intercession of the saints?
Lutherans kept everything great about Catholicism and reformed the issues!
@@JML42 I feel like nowadays people pray more to Mary and Saints than to the Holy Spirit. I'm from Poland and during summer we have a harvest festival. The figures of Mary used in the festival are very similar to the slavic goddes of harvest and nature Mokosh. It's like we literally took the old gods and changed them to Mary and Saints. Also treating paintings of Mary like they are magical and they cure you when they should be just a symbol.Taking parts of the dead people to make relics. It just feels wrong.
And it's not like I want to leave. My family are Catholics and I don't want to hurt them. I just have issuses and it's hard because church teaches that dogmas are holy and you shouldn't question them.
I'm pentacostal and at least my church (idk about others) don't believe you'll ever get to a point where you stop signing. Well we do, but that happens when you get to heaven. You'll keep sinning as long as you are on earth. Though, as you draw closer to God, hopefully it happens less often
The first question is loaded. More authority than the church about what? Anglicans believe the Bible contains "everything necessary for salvation", but also look to the church fathers and even to current catholic practice to determine chuch structure, liturgy, and pious devotions. Anglicans affirm that Mary is the Mother of God, and while not required beliefs, several accept the Marian dogmas.
About everything, that's what it means.
All Protestants affirm Mary is the Mother of God lol, unless they're Nestorian

Seventh day adventists also don't baptize babies
On the Filioque, the reason Orthodox also advocate for it is because Christ literally says in the gospels that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father. This was also the agreed upon phrasing for the whole church when the Nicene Creed was created.
Filoque was added to combat Spanish Arianism and emphasize Jesus oneness with the father, and was never intended to change the ultimate meaning.
😢
@@misterkittyandfriends1441 yes it was added centuries later. Redeemed Zoomer seems to think the Filioque was in the orignal text. John 14:16 and 14:26 shows that the spirit proceeds from the father alone through Christ.

The Catholic Church itself does not say we literally eat and drink Christ's body and blood. It says we truly receive him under the appearance of bread and wine. To put it simply, the essence of the bread and wine becomes Christ, while the accidents remain the same.
No, it is literally the Body and Blood of Christ. But you are correct that the accidents (that is, the appearances) do remain the same.

What you said about the essence of the host becoming Christ and the accidents remaining unchanged is correct, but the body really "is present in a true, real, and substantial manner: his Body and his Blood, with his soul and his divinity" (cf.

Usefulcharts also did a great video on that topic.
As a Presbyterian, i find the history and tradition of orthodox and catholic churches to be quite intriguing. You know their histories and traditions run deep when their churches alone take up the first half of the video 😅😅
Jesus founded a Church, not a book.
Then the Church decided to compile a book.
Tradition is not below scripture, it's equal.
Jesus criticized the Pharisees for focusing more on their ancient texts than in his message as he preached live.
Jesus gave the Church the keys to Heaven and authority to bind on Earth like in Heaven. Jesus promised his Church that the Holy Spirit would guide it. Even if the Church can make mistakes, since Jesus did stop Peter on his tracks a few times, its still the Church, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it. God always guides it.
Tradition, liturgy, miracles, apparitions, sacraments, intercession... Christianity is much more than scripture, the Deposit of faith is deep. Putting scripture above the Church is a limited, almost sterile, form of Christianity and it lead to ever increasing disunity, while Christ wanted us to be one.

I'm sure there is nothing further to add to my claim
For Catholicism, it is not necessarily that the Church has higher authority to the Bible. Rather, the Church is an authority along with the Bible. This is so because the Bible has to be interpreted by someone who has the authority to do it and who will use Tradition to ensure that the Word of God is being taught consistently to how it was taught by the Apostles and their desciples. It's a logical approach to avoiding having millions of interpretation of the same Word of God.
Agreed, I was going to post a similar comment but I’m glad to see someone else already did. Like you said, it’s not that the church has more authority than the Bible, but that the church has THE authority to interpret the Bible. Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture have equal authority. It’s a both/and, not either/or.
There is a reason that Yahusha chose disciples who were not "educated". It was the ones who were "educated" and "religious" who killed Him.
When I became a Christian I read the Bible, Jesus is my religion and my God. All these other religions can argue and fight with each other, I just keep learning from Christ by reading the Bible

There is no philosophy needed. The bible straight up mentions that if you don't eat Jesus' flesh and drink his blood you won't have life within you. In the original translations it stems from 'to knaw on' so basically Jesus straight up said to eat his body. That's why 1000 of his followers left except the 12.
The Eucharist is referenced subtly throughout the bible but this is the most obvious one.
I'm pentecostal and I have never heard about the "becoming so holy you don't sin in this life" from anyone anywhere. Maybe it comes from the fact I'm not American, but part of the Finnish pentecostal church🤷♀️

Its called Perfectionism, it's not something that you'll generally hear, most consider it heretical.

Yahusha tells us to "Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect" Matthew 5:48
"This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin." I John 1:5-7
"Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked." I John 2:3-6

Wow, very interesting. Being a former Protestant and now Catholic, I don't really fight over these differences anymore, rather find it interesting how each church or denomination interpret things, they all kind of make sense when explained the way you do.

Most of my personal belief falls in line with the baptists, however, I believe that the church does have power as outlined in the Bible, and that the church is absolutely a necessity for the Christian, although salvation itself is completely separate from the church or church traditions. I'm still undecided on predestination as I believe on one hand that while we cannot work for or earn our salvation through any of our works, on the other hand we are able to make the decision of our own free will to reject the salvation that is gifted to us.
My analogy to try to explain this is if we're drowning in the ocean, Jesus is trying to save us, and we can either fight, harden our hearts, and refuse salvation, or we can stop resisting and allow him to save us. That isn't to say that the Lord isn't all-powerful and unable to save us, but rather that he has made the choice to give us free will, and if we refuse to accept him he will not intervene and alter our choice, although he may present us countless more opportunities to be saved.
I love your analogy for Jesus reaching to save us but that He still allows us the choice to accept Him (i.e. He doesn't force us to be saved, despite Him wanting us to be with Him). I have found a lot of clarity, understanding, and peace in Christ in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As you mentioned the importance of both the Bible and the Church, I have found a great perspective here.

It’s super interesting to see here just how close a lot of Christians are to fully agreeing. I see a lot of arguments between orthodox, catholic, and protestant people online, and they make the differences seem like a massive insurmountable divide. It’s comforting to remember how similar we actually are.
It's a form of survivorship bias. We never talk about the things we agree on because there is nothing left to say about them. Yet arguments about our differences are loud and overrepresented.
But we really are more similar than it seems at first glance.
Yep, the amount that Christians believe and agree on is huge.
That's one way you can tell when you're dealing with a cult.
They don't agree on the fundamentals, who Good is, who Jesus is and what he came to do.
Interestingly, my beliefs on these matters seem to simultaneously reflect influences from many of these denominations. I was raised non-denominational, with family, friends, and teachers from most of these churches. I'm beginning to see how they all impacted my views differently. Consequently, I don't entirely fit in with any of them.
The Bible actually tells us not to be denominational. "Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you. Now I say this, that each of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of Apollos,” or “I am of Cephas,” or “I am of Christ.” Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?" I Corinthians 1:10-13
Yet many want to just "agree to disagree" instead of finding the truth written in the Scriptures. There is only one Truth. Unity only can come when all bow to the authority of the Word of Yah.

Question: I have heard you refer to Nestorian Christology as the 'Nestorian Heresy', but you've also included the Assyrian Church of the East as a true Christian Church before.

@@albertanmotorcyclist6419which group are you thinking of, exactly?
Christ did not condone any of this. He explicitly said the kingdom of heaven is omnipresent and within us, your cognitive belief systems are actually irrelevant to salvation. Salvation is the same as reaching enlightenment and realizing the eternal presence of God as the unity of all things.
@@deerlow1851 Im not sure what you mean by that statement. You very clearly must have faith in Jesus Christ's divinity, resurrection, and unity with the father and spirit in order to be saved. So that I would say is a "belief system" that is relevant

Catholics do not believe we can conceptualize God’s essence.

An example: we can know God is omnipotent because it is a contradiction to posit potentials that God cannot actualize.

Yeah there are different branches with Pentecostals even.

It’s just one more way to get connected to God. I do however disagree that anyone can ever stop sinning completely, idk where that part came from. We are all flesh, flesh is lustful, and there will always be a battle between flesh and spirit. Hope this helps someone

I have been interested in comparisons of different denominations since then. This is the best thing I have found so far on the subject. 👍
What’s so frustrating about denominations (Catholic and Orthodox included) is that in a way, ALL of the views have a lot of merit, yet people choose to either complicate or contradict what is clearly stated in Scripture, which really isn’t hard at all to understand
Denominations are designed to confuse people. If you read the Bible closely on your own and in context, then closely examine the denominations, most of them get 1 or 2 main beliefs right or in line with scripture. But in the end, nearly all of them have some kind of false eschatology going on. The only denomination I have seen that gets eschatology close to what the bible says is the Church of the Nazarene.
Catholicism is universal, not denominational. Christ established one Church united by the apostles. If your church is not apostolic, you are in a false religion.
"But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea." [Matthew 18:6]
Did you actually read your Bible? It is full of contradictions. There is nothing clear about it. It is completely natural for there to be this schism. And saying that they all have merit without any evidence to back that up is kind of an empty statement.
There's was more to the schism than just the theological aspect. It also had some cultural difference and the shift of power from Western to Eastern Roman Empires.
No offense, but that comes off as naive to me. Even if a text is simple and linear, interpretations aren’t. People can read or watch the same thing and extract different conclusions from it- even if it’s seemingly simple. But the Bible has gone through translations and transliterations, scripture being added and removed, it’s almost unsurprising that we have different interpretations being accepted for various reasons. It would be different if the text itself (or God) LITERALLY spoke to us and gave us objective feedback, but that’s impossible.
I believe us Assyrians/Nestorians are misunderstood, we believe mary is the mother of jesus who is god but she is not the mother of god because that would mean in language that she is god herself, which I know it is confusing, at the same time she is the mother of god as in she is christs mother and christ is god, but she is simply a normal human mother.
I love them all. I love all those churches. God bless this beautiful faith!
Great video. I'm an Anglican from Nigeria which has the largest congregation after England and one of the the leaders of the Anglican realignment and GAFCON. The Church of Nigeria is very conservative as with other African Anglican churches and more recently some Anglican churches in the Americas. The Church of Nigeria championed separation from the Church of England, Canada and other Anglican churches in the Americas due to their liberal doctrines. They have lost their way and erred trying to please the world. I'm so disappointed with what they have become and I pray they repent. The Church of Nigeria is by no means perfect but by God's grace our missions in the Americas, together with ACNA are yielding positive results. Anglicanism needs to be more conservative, Bible-based, Christ-centered, and as a member of my Diocesan Synod at 25 years, I'm glad and I thank God I'm part of those making it happen. May God bless every true Christian and all the Churches that hold the right beliefs dear 🙏
We have the same church. Im a new anglican going to the church of Nigeria
Okay, but where do The Doobie Brothers and Genesis fit into this picture?
Why do you leave some denominations out sometimes? Huguenots, Moravians, Holiness, Dutch reformed, etc… I’d like to see a part 2 that includes all of them.
Think he was just focusing on the main ones. I've never heard of any of the ones you mentioned
It’s honestly because all of those really fall under others to be honest. If you list every single one it becomes next to impossible to follow. It’s much easier to just notate the main branches and keep it simple rather than make it overly complex. For example, Dutch reformed would be on the Presbyterian branch, Episcopalian would be on the Anglican branch, etc. It’s also why all the different versions of Lutherans, Anglicans, Presbyterians, and Methodists aren’t listed, for example
I love your videos! My boyfriend is a new Christian and he showed me your channel, he finds it so helpful. Watching your videos gives me a really strong sense of nostalgia from my childhood when I was first introduced to the Christian faith by my RE teacher, who was a strong influence in how I came to Christ. You are amazing and sending love and prayers that your channel meets people who need Jesus in their lives. Much love, brother!
The books of the NT did not take shape until decades after Jesus’ death. The Bible as we know it wasn’t cemented for centuries after that. Jesus didn’t leave us a book. He didn’t commission his apostles to write a book. Jesus told his followers to spread the gospel (the good news) to the world. They (later) wrote down the Gospel accounts, and sent disciplinary letters, which we regard as inspired by God, to particular Churches and to the Church at large and together with the OT these form the Bible. But what Jesus ultimately left us was the Church. Matthew 16:18-19, Matthew 18:15-18, Matthew 28:19, Acts 2, 1 Timothy 3:15, and more demonstrate the Church’s establishment and authority as a unique body, not simply a collection of believers.
The Church is established and recorded in scripture. It precedes the NT accounts. It defined what was canonical by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit which resides within it. To base one’s interpretation of Christianity on the scriptures alone is self-defeating for this reason.
Of course we should regard the scriptures as authoritative. They were written by the Apostles and their disciples, and are the inspired word of God. But without the Church, the Bible is left subject to the interpretation of individual believers, which Acts 8:30-38 points to as insufficient, Church history repeatedly demonstrates as dangerous, and to this day this causes problems.
Any one church having supreme executive power, (the Catholic Church proving this for the Medieval Period), is dangerous in itself.
I would rather debate heresies with the Truth of Scripture, than to be subordinate to people who base their "authority" on schooling and can flip a switch on scripture should it suit their needs. To which, again, the Catholic Church has done multiple times.
There's a reason why the Reformation happened. Its not because Martin was being a donkey and wanted to do his own thing. He questioned what the Catholic Church was doing and saw its opulence and vagrancy on the backs of the common people. And instead of self-reflection or seeing Martin Luther's perspective and recognizing their fault, were offended that a mere friar and low end Priest would dare to question the Hierarch Papacy and their Supreme Religious Divine Wisdom.
