it blows my mind that there are pastors that deny the Resurrection
A lot of pastors take up that job when they are young and they go to college and get their required degrees and certificates, but they are not always true believers, or were at one point and drift away (parable of the sower).
You would hope that the senior leadership would remove these dopes, but they don't, for whatever reason.
This is like a doctor that doesn’t believe in germs.

It shouldn't surprise you, that has been the main position of the majority of Mainline Protestant Academia since the 1920s and the Modernist / Fundamentalist split.

As someone who not in a mainline denomination and goes to an Evangelical church, I completely understand why we need to preserve the mainline church.
iron mixed with clay,
looking forward to the gathering of the saints. I want off this crappy planet
Absolutely. I think we often forget as evangelicals how much history we have lost, but also, John Wesley for example birthed the revivalist movement that formed evangelicals as we know them today, yet look at the STATE of Methodism.
As someone who's not religious this sounds like Going to a Football Game and they don't even have a Ball
See? Even non-religious people can see how absurd "atheist church" is
@@redeemedzoomer6053 it's like a Cinema with no Film
@@redeemedzoomer6053 Also Zoomer you're not a conservative because you took a stand and decided not to abandon your Institution to run off into the woods and then cope about it after
Beautifully described, friend.

Most perfect timing ever😂
As someone currently looking into Orthodoxy, the pro-choice, resurrection denying, and Arianist pastor stories made me want to scream. I hope you prots get your churches back together, good luck and may God bless you and your movement.
God bless you on your journey friend, my wife, kids, and close family converted to orthodoxy and it's the best decision we all made.
I was baptized into the Orthodox Church in May (I was an inquirer for almost 6 years BEFORE a 2 year Catechism), married to my wife in August, her family converted to Orthodoxy when they lived in Alaska. They used to attend a Nazarene Church. Absolutely a blessing that they found the Church!
look into the oriental churches
The PCUSA is quite liberal but the PCA is highly conservative but in a very biblically and spiritually grounded way not in a "Trump is almost as good as Jesus" kind of way
As a Greek Cristian (not orthodox) I have to tell you that the Orthodox Church is on the road of folding to the liberal progressive views. The reasons are many but one is that the church is funded by the state. For example the resent legalisation of gay marriage was protested very lightly by the church.
I'm so glad that the worst disputes in my denomination are about calendars and jurisdictions and not about Christ's divinity.
Yes, not the Eastern "orthodox" who burn incense to images and venerate them, something condemned in (2 Kings 18:4), a Bible verse many will ignore including eastern bishops, who often do not care about sin and will even baptize homosexuals as long as they commit Iconolatry.
Apostolic succession is not in a single area of the world, but in one Church, the Orthodox Church, if some of your "bishops" admit that if another is homosexual affirming, they are no longer apart of them despite them being within connection of the "patriarch", which is what Christian Traditionalists believe in Christianity, and it is how the body of Christ is united.@@siegeheavenly3601
@@siegeheavenly3601You guys must need to say that to yourselves all the time.
@@siegeheavenly3601 Why did you let the Catholic, Anglican and Pentecostal Churches evangelise Africa before you?
Neither the modern Catholic or Orthodox churches are the church Christ founded
The Church Christ founded had many splits but stuck together until the church split in two, which is where you get the modern catholic and orthodox churches
@@siegeheavenly3601 We? They've been there longer than anybody and their traditions are so different that I'm not sure the Greek Orthodox church should take credit for it. Regardless, what happened to the rest of the continent?
i used to go to a lutheran church when i was younger, the priest claimed that jesus was just a smart guy and he didn’t get resurrected lol. basically tried implying he was a marxist.
Ewww, ELCA?
@@austinjackson7103 yep, my mom took us there. I’m a cradle catholic but my mom didn’t like it there anymore. thankfully we left the elca church, had 2 heretic priests.

@@eliegbert8121lmao
My dad was episcopal and when he went to marriage counseling the priest mentioned Bhudda more than Jesus so he went Catholic
Videos like this makes me glad for my church where the biggest problem is our unskilled band. LORD help them when they try to experiment in the Christmas service
9:27 this is just insane to me. Like forget being a Christian, forget being a *pastor*, if someone said this I think they would just be a horrible person.
I'm an Evangelical non-denom. Leaning Pentecostal more and more. After you explained this, it makes a whole lot more sense why you want to retake these churches. I thought it was for the pretty buildings, or spreading Calvinism specifically, but in reality, it's for purging heresy. That's something I can get behind you on.
Pentecostals are spontaneous, which has no root in the Bible at all. The Bible clearly teaches us how to worship God in Leviticus and Numbers, and it does not include spontaneity (especially "speaking in tongues", acting crazy, "christian rock" concerts, etc). Worship is rooted in order.
Please look into this before converting 🙏🏾
The aeon of Christianity is over y'all realize that right. The thousand year reign of Christ ended wiith the fall of the holy roman empire. Christianity is complete.
@@bobbobbington4426 that is crazy how could you say that. Acts is the only book in the New Testament that doesn't end with "amen" purely because church history is NOT complete. We have a living church, we are continuing to make saints to this present day. Our faith is complete (Hebrews 12:2), but Christianity is not ☦️
the truth of the Lord endures forever (Psalm 117, 1Peter 1:25)
Ughh, when I see the words "purging heresy" I get images in my head concerning these churches I probably shouldn't
@@basementlm4200 I should be more clear. When I say I lean Pentecostal, what I really mean is that I believe in the spiritual gifts. Healing, prophesy, deliverance (not a spiritual gift, but still involved), tongues, etc.
I don't think that you should be speaking in tongues in church without an interpreter. I think that most times you should speak in tongues is one on one with God. Along with tongues, I believe in these powers because
1. They are in the Bible
2. I've personally seen every one of these happen.
If you are unwilling to get out of the way and let God work in your church, he won't work. It's that simple. I agree that people shouldn't act crazy in church, but there is no problem with having music to dance to to praise God. In the Old Testament they had wild parties every time they had a feast. In regards to Levitical law, we as Christians are not bound by that any more (Galatians). We don't need to sacrifice animals or circumcise because Jesus paid for all of that. The other ceremonial laws were for ancient Israel specifically. I agree that worship includes order, and I agree that Pentecostals take it too far, but worship should not be restricted to order either. Read Romans 12:1. I am not a Pentecostal, I am, and have grown up non-denominational, I just respect some aspects of them, and a church I've started going to incorporates some of that without going overboard.
Be grateful that I am another believer, and that I am overjoyed at the spreading of the gospel like we should, rather than nit-picking about my tradition.
God bless you. 🙏🏽
Pastors that deny the resurrection are a perfect example of why we need to believe our confessions whole heartedly before getting baptized.
Us Catholics seethe because priests don't speak Latin but hearing these stories makes me think that the poison of the modern world didn't hit us as hard as I thought
We need to stand against the horrible synodal jokers who wish to “modernize” our beautiful church
I'm Lutheran, pretty darn young too, and even I want to learn Latin. It's terrible that y'all's priests don't speak Latin.
Thank you, Hitler420, very cool
Look at what your Pope is doing, before talking.
Yeah, basically
I, personally, am not a Christian.
The thing is, neither are the people who are "theologically liberal."
I'm pretty liberal, non-theologically, and heck, I'm even gay.
I do look up to Jesus sometimes as he did preach love. I do not believe in some of the things in the Bible.
I am just like the theologically liberal "Christians".
I do not claim to be Christian. They are not Christian either.
Thank you for your intellectual honesty
"the only one who doesn't fly a pride flag" - it's like the ONE GUY in the hood who never went to jail :D
I went to the Christian subReddit and it was filled with people saying Christians aren’t doing enough to help trans people against the GOP
We have senior bishops in the Church of England who have recently made comments such as
‘There’s no such thing as one consistent overarching Biblical understanding of marriage’
‘The Christian view of marriage is always evolving’
Several have commented that the C of E is very quickly becoming a left wing political party. I think they could be right.
They are right, we need to retake it quickly and not run away as many are suggesting
@@redeemedzoomer6053is there anything wrong with being gay?
@@Thescifienjoyer55 Being gay is a sin
@@Thescifienjoyer55Yes, don't ask stupid questions here.
@@chico9805 You're right, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it a stupid question. To thescifienjoyer55, it is clearly outlined in Leviticus 18:22 that sleeping with a man as you would a woman is detestible.
6:08 lol, gotta say I'm loving this running gag (still hoping you would one day sing for real tho)
Anyways as a Christian in a still very conservative country, whew the situation in American really does seem very dire (not to say we don't have problems on our own, though). Praying for you to succeed in this mission of restoring the mainline churches!
Where are you from?
@@griveouswithhislightsabers3665 Indonesia
This is similar to my experience in the Church of Scotland. Many of the young members were children of the manse who were very left wing politically.
One youth moderator was a socialist; another later became a Green Party politician.
Don’t leave it tho. Stay and fight!
Absolutely. I totally agree that it is better to stand one's ground and speak up.
@@redeemedzoomer6053Do you think that’s also possible in Sweden? Before you instinctively say yes consider that:
the Bishop of Stockholm removed Crosses from the seamens Church and replaced them with muslim prayer spaces. Our Arch-Bishop removed all male pronouns from the official Liturgy. The mainstream view among the clergy is that Jesus resurection is symbolical. etc
The Church cracks down on dissent hard so it would be near impossible to retake the clergy.
Fringe ultra-conservative Anabaptist group with decent theology similar to Catholic theology. I'm on the fence, do I leave or not?
@@AllhailTDLjimpic that sounds like it is even more necessary to retake them
The chat is basically every youtube comment reply section
Not seeing enough people asking Zoomer to convert to Orthodoxy
I attended my local PCUSA Church. It was nice, but I still prefer the PCA Church I’m at now.
Broskis, how do i quit relapsing on lust and other temptation?
Pray, go to church, take communion, trust in Christ for salvation rather than your own good works
I was struggling with that too, I was relapsing because I was trying to stop sinning by my own willpower, which didn’t work. But then instead of running from sin, I focused on God, and cut out anything that would draw me back to sin.
Since then God’s been helping me. So I’ll be praying for you :)
Become obsessed with Jesus. Think about that feeling of falling in love... it is overpowering and all consuming. Nothing matters as much as being with your loved one. You think of each other when apart and adore one another when together. That leaves no room for other desires. So. Similarly, read the Bible voraciously, pray regularly, join other Christians in worship and learning the word. Fall in love with Jesus with him as the most important thought of your day. Then there is no room left for temptation. Temptation is about desire. So desire Him more and more and the other stuff will become less and less enticing.
Dear Christian, this might be little help also
A video on TH-cam entitled " set faith on work at Christ for the killing of your sin by John Owen " / 7:36 mins.
What do I do about a church that hasn't *really* gone bad, but it's getting pretty unserious and you have a feeling it might get worse? The church closest to where I live has female priests, and highly modernized sermons about social media and shit. Once she literally started doing dollar store magic tricks during her sermon. And the organ played "Phantom of the Opera" at the ending? Like... it's not heretical I guess I mean they haven't straight up lied about the Bible and what not, but it's still pretty annoying. I want to hear about the Bible and praise God, I don't want to hear about inspiring Facebook posts you've read.
Stay and speak up! Make sure you’re involved with the church either as a member or in service, so you have credibility when you ask priests about sacredness and propriety in worship
Leave that church, find one that is based and fight vehemently to defend it against subversive outsiders.
It is heretical chruch call it out
When I see that I am happy yo be in the Catholic church.
Even what we call liberalism in our church does not even come close to what you describe.
@@maten146 Brother your pontiff literally said same-sex marriage is okay. Your church is just as bad as mainline protestants.
What miracles have you seen your grandma perform?
That's what I'm most interested in hearing here, too.

I disagree with how you define conservative, in that it is about going back to something in the past. The word actually means to keep safe, or to preserve from loss and decay. To go back would be to regress, but to be conservative about something (politics, doctrine, theology) means to have something worth holding on to, and shedding off what doesn’t align with that, and rejecting new ideas that don’t align with it. In Theology, this would mean to align all things with the Bible, shedding tradition where it doesn’t align, and only accepting new ideas or ways of doing things when they are consistent with Scripture.
Great video though, and very eye opening! As a 35 y/o millennial who is a fundamental Non Denominational (baptist) in rural Kentucky, its so hard to imagine hearing those sorts of things in the church from the pastors.
I worked for your denomination in Louisville for over five years -- the only thing I can say to describe it is this: "You are rich and increased with goods and have need of nothing, but I say unto you that you are poor, miserable, wretched, blind, and dumb because you have left your first love."
Your candidness is truly commendable. It’s a great example for those in mainline churches. Speaking the truth and being transparent can truly bring incredible change in this age of deconstruction and degeneration.
Even the phrase of " *your* truth" is giving up too much ground on the cultural battlefield
He's just speaking _the_ truth
There is only THE TRUTH. “Your truth” is meaningless - it’s either true or false.
Good point guys. That’s an important distinction. Objective truth is the one and only truth as long as it’s substantiated in the written word of God. While I don’t agree with some of redeemed zoomers views, I’d still say we agree on the fundamental truths in the Bible.
@@victorvelez7679 kudos for admitting fault - a rare trait online these days. I totally agree, zoomer is wrong on some things, but not on the most important things. I think more of us Christians need to adopt this viewpoint. Even the early church had disagreements, but they all united around Jesus.
Stay strong Zoomer. I get inspired by your videos. Thank you.
My brother in Christ your women are in the pulpit.
Need I say more ?
As an Orthodox, it’s really sad to see these other denominations get corrupted. I hope you are successful in helping save your denomination. My prayers will be with you.
That's actually how I became a Christian I went to a church group then u asked for my Bible I tried reading it and I wasn't all thar interested and I remember interacting with Christians at various times the one time there was this street preacher and I was kinda trying to goof around with him after high-school I got a job and there I met a coworker who challenged My on my beliefs and who pushed back on the stuff I said but he'd always say I don't gotta listen or believe him But that I should look into things myself so I read my Bible trying to understand it all then I was convicted
I love the running joke of the files of you singing always getting corrupted! Like with a mighty fortress is our God in the denominations video.
Hearing about a PASTOR calling an unborn child a parasite is craazyyyy. Literally speaking (as a pregnant woman) they do feed off of you, you have to take vitamins, eat more, take care of yourself in specific ways. But like, I bet that pastor wouldnt call a sick, disabled, elderly, infirm, or homeless person a parasite (as they shouldn't!). Babies need us. We will eventually need them. Life is symbiotic. People with needs (including babies) are not parasites.
For the lady who said the concept of the trinity is incongruent with the Jewish religion:
1. In the Babylonian Targums, the Memra (word) of God is shown as a distinct person representative of Yahweh. And then at times identified as one in the same with Yahweh in certain passages.
2. Philo was a Jewish philosopher who wrote about the logos as a person of God. My understanding of his representation of God is that it was more binitarian, but not really exclusive of more persons.
3. Kabbalah has the tree of life with numerous names making up the godhead. It's probably a little more modalist and I don't fully understand the nuances of it, but it is analogous to the trinity in that, a trinitarian representation is not at all contrary to Judaism.
On the struggle with God, I think that was too far to say it's okay to undermine our faith. I do think though that if we are angry or frustrated with God, or not understanding something, He WOULD at least rather we vent to him than hold it in. The Psalms are often actually very good examples. They come around in the end but sometimes that honest venting needs to happen first because if you never get it off your chest, you never TELL the Person you're supposed to be seeking a relationship with, it never gets addressed. Relationships where one party is constantly holding back and seething on their own end up toxic and that certainly counts with how we create toxicity between ourselves and God.
WOW I've kinda wanted to do something like this, and here you are doing it! That's awesome
"In my denomination, it's often like, 'We're not sure if God exists, but we are sure he supports LGBTQ.'" That is the best quote ever. Literally LOL.
Thank GOD I left the PCUSA for the Catholic Church. Hope you can find the way too.
You'll find Orthodoxy to be true I'm sure

The situation you are describing put me on a path straight to Rome for five years- I actually converted- I’m Anglican now
Hey cool! I grew up in one of the original three PCA churches (FPC Macon, GA) and now attend a PCUSA church in Coronado (Graham Memorial Pres) in the San Diego Presbytery.
I am very conservative (even for Macon, GA) and VERY conservative for San Diego, but enjoy challenging my beliefs. I work for the church, volunteer there many days a week and with many of the ministries, teach Sunday school and even filled in as the inquirers class instructor on several occasions despite not being a member.
Fun!
My brother in Christ, your diss game got me trippin: when it comes to outright heretical statements they’re “silly” but when it comes to women speaking straight hellfire is breathed 🤣🤣🤣
When devout athiests are more consistent with Christianity than "pastors"😂 This is a HUGE issue.
Amen brother. Keep up the good fight!
How can you be Christian and not believe Jesus was God? That is straight up heresy!
Arianism is a curse upon the Christian faith. St Nicolas did a great thing punching Arius in the face right in front of Constantine.

I was starting to visit a Presbyterian church but there is no consistency from church to church, in one church they are like a church should be but the next one is full of blasphemy and heresy…im honestly loosing my faith pray for me(added: even becoming discouraged to continue looking for a church all together)
Your faith should be in Jesus and in the Bible and not in a specific Church. Hopefully we don't have that same problem in the Presbyterian Church of Brazil. I think that there are more conservative Presbyterian denominations in USA.

I love the consistency of Catholicism. The Catechism is our watermark for orthodoxy wherever you go in the world.
I have question about your grandma's miracles
i love how this guy says jokes and never laughs at them when they are clearly chuckle worthy
The main problem with your heretical pastor was not her heresy, it was that she was a pastor as a woman. 1st Timothy 2. I appreciate your presence on TH-cam and love the conversation.
Indeed. Though, heresy is indeed universally untenable, regardless of sex.
The vast majority of women are not, on account of their sex, capable of rightly handling ecclesiastical and political power outside of their God-given domestic domain. This is why God forbids it, to protect women. The historical record also reflects this as well, as the impact of female religious and political power has been far more often negative than positive; especially over the last 150 years.
In house churches in the Middle East where there is a dearth of qualified men, the women leaders are the exception that prove the rule because of the power of God to surpass the limitations and weaknesses of our flesh. - Peace be with you.
Nah the heresy is way more important lol
Her heresy is far more concerning, Jesus said if you deny me before men I will deny you before my father in heaven and if you confess me before men I will confess you before my father in heaven...all other sins can be forgiven but the continued unrepentant denying of Christ will not be forgiven. Notice he says I do not permit a woman to have authority over a man, it does not say the Lord does not permit. While the apostles were inspired by God, this command does not share the same weight of authority as laws declared by God directly such as the 10 commandments or the commands of Christ. Even still Paul never calls this sin, he only reasons that it would not be wise. To actually call something sin is to say it directly contradicts what God has commanded or his heart. I do believe what Paul commands is correct, in that it is the best practice for the church but it does not ever call it sin nor does he say God will punish them for not following this ordinance. Keep in mind pauls primary task was to plant churches make sure they were teaching correct doctrine and since women had a history of leading men astray and also did not read back then they were not fit to lead a church or a household. In other words Paul was doing the job God assigned to him which was ensure the success of the church. This is why this is more a best practices and not a sin issue. Paul was a very religious Jew and pharisee prior to his encounter with Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus and during his days as a Pharisee was likely influenced by reading wisdom of Sirach especially Sirach 25:24-26
@@ianflanagan209 Brother, you are horribly mistaken in your attempt to undermine Scripture's authourity. Paul consistently emphasizes that it is not on his own right that he commands the Church, but by the authourity of God himself as an apostle. When writing against women teaching in church, as well as on various other topics, Paul says this: "If anyone thinks that he is a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a command of the Lord. If anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized."
Friend, all of the Word has behind it the full authority of God Almighty, whether spoken through the Spirit of Christ or the incarnate Christ. To reject the apostles' inspired writings as merely their own opinion is to reject Jesus's authourity in them. I realize that you probably do not intentionally mean to do this, but I implore you to repent regardless. Yes, the Scriptures were written by men, but they were also written by the Spirit, and should not be questioned and critiqued as if they were merely and only human. Do not be swayed by the teachings and doctrines of men! Hold fast to what is written!

When I see that I am happy yo be in the Catholic church.
Even what we call liberalism in our church does not even come close to what you describe.
I really don’t understand a Christian who says they don’t take genesis 1 literally, I mean this is the whole basis of the word of God. It’s Literally true that even John wrote a similar introduction
Good luck man with returning the denomination to Christ, I will be praying for that endeavor
I mean this on the best way possible without any intention to disrespect. I just want to learn and understand. I am not sure what do I call myself, probably agnostic. Since you touched on the Bible and how you understand how atheist cannot understand it I have an question that you probably answered a thousand times:
How are people so sure the word's written on the Bible are the actual same words that Moses, or the Apostles wrote? Shouldn't some of it be lost to time? Shouldn't we misstranslate or missunderstand at least like 5% of it since we are human, lost and dumb? How come even the prophets were so sure they were able to understand everything in the first place, for me, understand a supernatural, all-knowing, bigger than this realm of existance seems a pretty hard thing to do, specially if you were a commoner that never read a book on your entire life 3000 years ago. Lastly why do all churches, including Reformist and what not, agreed on the arbitrary selection pf books that should be included in the Bible? Those books where not selected by Christ while he was a man on Earth, and they are not the only books to tell the story of Christ by people who lived and learned from him. Why does a random selection of FLAWED HUMANS politics and priest get to decide what the world of God is and what it isn't. Couldn't one of them secretly being a murder or pedophile and still be there "creating" what the Bible is supposed to be?
I had exactly the same experience with being confirmed in the German Lutheran church. I was really shocked at first that you described everything just like I’ve heard it even by pastors and church leaders. So sad that this is also happening in America
Prayers for the PCUSA
Blessings on your work.
Is there a way to follow the reconquista without actively taking part?
Friend, You are amazing
You are a good man
yo, could you do a video explaining why you reject Islam and Judaism?
In the context of Operation Reconquista how would you address people like me who grew up non denominational but recently joined the PCA? Is it worth leaving my traditional, reformed denomination to try to take back the PCUSA. I'm roughly the same age as you and study theology and Scripture a lot. Is there anything people like me can do to support the operation while staying in my denomination. I love my church and have made a lot of strong connections here. I love your idea and agree with your sentiment about people staying in the church when they want to leave, but not everyone who agrees with you is in that position
There is something you can do! Talk with some of your fellow PCA members about the idea, discuss it, and maybe spend some of your time at (and serve with) the PCUSA church if you’re not convinced to switch fully.
Also, one eventual goal is reunification of the evangelical branches with the Mainline. So the more people like you invest in the PCAUSA, the sooner the PCA will be able to re-join.
That biting sarcasm at 7:25 🤣🤣🤣
9:15 perhaps one of the reasons women shouldn't be pastors...
I give you much respect for staying in PCUSA in spite of that scene you described at camp. I would have found a different church.

If a man plays Beethoven wrong, is it the fault of Beethoven? The beliefs of a denomination are independent of its followers and leaders. They are, always have, and always will be the the beliefs of their founders
The fact he can play Minecraft AND talk about God is more wild( this is a joke) but I am happy to see I ain't the only one trying to build the house of God in-game( not as a replacement)
"If my grandma can do it I think Jesus can do it" 😂
That's a pretty interesting situation, but I'm glad you're standing up for truth.
Day 10 asking for a Christian College teir list
Agreed
I’m in a pretty conservative southern state and I haven’t found a single non pcusa church and of those every single one focused a tiny bit on we believe Jesus but LGBT has the priority and is clearly their idol
The only thing I could pay attention to for the first 1 minute and 19 seconds was the chat.
15:09 its crazy how in this story that the pastor used the bible to prove why we shouldnt believe the bible.
7:48 I disagree with your take here. You’re referencing traditionalism. Conservatives want to conserve the traditional values and ethics while traditionalists literally want to return those times.
But Conservatives still lose
I am not liberal, and not conservative, nor am I moderate, I am Orthodox.
this may cause a lot of backlash but i really dont like theologically liberal churches
5:46 story time?
The word fundamentalist means someone who believes the essentials of Christianity. So yes, it is fundamentalist to believe in the Trinity.
This is impossible to watch, as the picture is dizzying and distracting. Maybe this is a generational thing. I grew up in the time when people read books. Now people like to watch rapidly changing images, which probably accounts for younger people having an attention span measured in seconds. For goodness sake, what do the images here add that is of any value whatsoever?
Went to a Presbyterian church listed on Operation Reconquista as progressive level 0/5
Walked in and the reverend was a woman lol immediately left and won't be going back to that church. I had no idea Presbyterian's allowed ordination of women, that alone should make the denomination be considered heretical.
Hello fellow brother in Christ, I have commented on your video about your thoughts on famous pastors. I would like to comment in here if you would talk about Dr. Peter Tan-chi from Christ Commission Fellowship (CCF for short) from the Philippines. God bless to you and take care always!
If you've never argued about religion in Minecraft chat, then are you truly a gamer?
Oh, Oh nah he gettin cancelled for that😂 19:45
Presbyterians have a lot of checks and balances to keep sound doctrine with all its confessions and catechisms. So, how did the PCUSA fall into this? What's keeping the PCA and EPC from falling into this?
The ironic thing for PCUSA is that in a church which is named after its form of government (Presbyterian--government by the elders) the government is what is causing their downfall. The PCUSA is governed by a body known as the General Assembly, which consists of an elder from each congregation plus all ministers that are ordained in the church, not just the ones that have congregations. Over the years many minsters that would never, ever be able to get a position as a pastor because of their extreme and outright heretical views eventually became a majority in the General Assembly. About a decade ago the General Assembly would no longer acknowledge Jesus as head of the Church--this caused many congregations to leave for other Presbyterian denominations.
At least some of the other Presbyterian denominations restrict their General Assemblies to one elder and one pastor per congregation, which keeps them from falling into this.
As a former PCUSA member, I no longer see them as a Christian denomination, even though many churches belonging to it are Christian, and many members are also Christian, the governing body is mostly corrupt and getting worse.
I don't see the congregations that left as running away--they left with great sorrow after much prayer and deliberation.
Could you please do a video explaining seventh day Adventist? I’m so confused on it.
Good video RZ
God bless everyone and have a good day ❤🙏
