This is one of the best lectures I have heard. I can’t stop repeating it. Thank you so much Mr. Gore.. the last bit was such a pertinent reminder.. that God is sovereign!
This is the channel ,I keep coming back to follow up on studying church history.Thankyou Sir, for taking out time to put together this teaching series.
The more I listen to this series, the more I realize how much was sacrificed by the early reformers and Protestants for the blessings we currently enjoy
This is by far the best lecture about this matter. I have searched videos that relate to the reformation lead by Henry VIII. All edited with animation and music, but THIS lecture is just one guy, no reading, no editing - just pure knowledge and obviously love for history, and still the most interesting!
Too many times I've seen and heard Henry VIII described as a reformer. He was anything but a reformer in the category of Martin Luther. In fact, Henry hated Protestants and hated Martin Luther in particular, to the point of writing a passionate treatise against Luther and the Reformation. This earned him a special award from the pope, Defender of the Faith. He equally enjoyed burning Roman Catholics and Protestants. The "historians" who associate Henry VIII with the Reformation are either dishonest by tying this despot to the Protestants in an attempt to throw dirt on it, or just too lazy to present the truth or just plain ignorant which is inexcusable when a "historian" is commenting on the events.
Never new that Henry VII had 7 children with Cath who died. Amazing! Bear me, I watched The Tudors and love Wolf Hall, even bought the book. But even Wikipedia does not mention (aside of "Issues" unclear bar) this astonishing and extremely important fact! 7 dead attempts!! Wow, blows my mind. He looks persistent and devoted to have children with his wife. It was never shown as clear Bruce Gore masterfully explains here in these TV Shows. The Tudors hidden that fact, and instead it begins as him being simply unreasonable towards the Catharine. 7 dead attempts!!!
I like the way how Mr. Gore is quite objective in the way he treats Roman Catholics. He doesn't just "slam the papists", but in a very respectful way shows the errors of Rome, which could make his series on church history a great evangelistic ressource for roman catholics.
I have listened to many of your lectures, THANK YOU! I would like to find lectures on 17th century England, and law, barristers, clerks, solicitors, and ? I also read the ale houses turned to a new substance, coffee, fewer fights, & appreciated by Puritans. I want to find out about the education system of those days, I read "universities, and inns". Were these inns the "coffee houses" where discussion occurred and some were able to get a working education? Could a ceorl represent self or another after the roundheads won? I'll keep searching & listening. Thank you :) Yes, not one "renegade molecule." 😀
Henry VIII-th was a special brand of reformist. In the end he managed to create a new religion, the Anglican religion, which is well spread in our days. He did this in order to get divorced from his first wife. This is not a negligible thing. Later on, among other things, he organised the destitution of monasteries in England. Several hundred of them. First was the Act of Suppression in 1536 whereby small monasteries with an income of less than £200 a year were closed and their buildings, land and money taken by the Crown. The Second Suppression Act of 1539 allowed the dissolution of the larger monasteries and religious houses. Monastic land and buildings were confiscated and sold off to families who sympathized with Henry’s break from Rome. By 1540 monasteries were being dismantled at a rate of fifty a month. Vast amounts of monastic land, gold and silver plate were transferred to the Crown. It is said that the King’s own treasury profited by about one and a half million pounds. In many cases were some abbots and religious house leaders who refused to comply so simply they were executed and their monasteries destroyed. One of the saddest legacies of the Dissolution was the loss and destruction of monastic libraries and their precious illuminated manuscripts. The overwhelming majority of the 625 monastic communities dissolved by Henry VIII had developed in the wave of monastic enthusiasm that had swept western Christendom in the 11th and 12th centuries. So, after this events you could end up speechless.
I really liked Anne Askew, the poor girl and she was so smart and Godly. It's crazy how Henry didn't even know what was in the bible. It just shows you how much of a stranglehold the catholic church had.
Very much enjoy your lectures and appreciate your balanced perspective of facts and history, along with not presenting Holy Mother Church in the balanced light vice anti Catholic rhetoric.
Nice Lecture!!!! But you left a lot of stuff out…I understand why. Luther and Melancthon are queried by Henry VIII about his divorce: Luther says “Do it! It’s cool.” citing an Old Testament passage…then Luther, thru Letters, becomes Henry’s Lap Dog…and Anne Askew, under duress, during her Court hearing, recites a passage from The Book of Sirach???? One of the “Lost Wisdom” Books of the Old Testament???? That’s just for starters. Nicely done Senior High School Project Presentation!! Well Done! A Solid ‘B’.
You can find this documented in any decent biography of Henry VIII, for example, www.amazon.com/Henry-VIII-King-His-Court/dp/034543708X/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=biography+henry+viii&qid=1574263617&sr=8-1For a more brief mention of the point see, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispensation_(canon_law)
Saying that God is sovereign is like saying water is wet. Yet people don’t continue to say water is wet because it’s a given. Same with God being sovereign. If He wasn’t sovereign then He would not be God. Sovereignty is part of being the living God.
The speaker has made several mistakes. For example, Katherine of Aragon was pregnant six times, not seven. And Cardinal Wolsey did not commit suicide. Anne Boleyn was pregnant three times.
THIS. I can’t believe I just heard Thomas Cromwell introduced as a “scholar” known in the university circles?? More like a hustler who Woolsey hired as his personal fixer.
I beseech you stop talking about Theology when it pertains to the Word of God in the Bible because Theology is the councils of Men's private interpretation of the Scriptures.
It is a terrible shame that anyone died for the sake of religion. There is no evidence that there is a god at all, let alone a "right" way to worship this supposed god.Even if there was a god, why would this god approve of mass murder just because some people had different opinions about some minor details of worship? Still the same god, isn'tit?
@@PInk77W1 Yeah, especially for these medieval warriors. for them it is worth to obtain power and wealth. Faith is hardly part of the equation, maybe if is only a minor consideration. All this corrupted abuse Christ all these theological developments had dug a hole for Christianity. As a believer, my faith is very much shaken. i do not know how to reconcile these conflicts now.

Protestantism isn't any better.

all Mainline Protestant churches are pro abortion
wow, Anne Askew great work of God; revival always via the awakening to the scriptures by Holy Spirit. I hope to meet her in heaven someday.
Highly unlikely, since fairly tale magical kingdoms don't actually exist.
Anne Askew, what a woman of God!

Some things are worth fighting for
@@PInk77W1 Yes things like justice for all, euql rights, protection of childdren, etc. those things are worth fighting for.

None of that stuff matters.
