Wasn't being able to divorce and remarry the ENTIRE POINT of the Church of England?
7:52 that's not strictly true though? There are religions that are not about "pleasing God", because they simply don't have one. Like Buddhism for example. Also, I am not a christian, but if i understand it correctly, aren't the ten commandments that you have to follow, and stuff like seven deadly sins that you have to avoid? Because I hear stuff like "through Christ all is forgiven", but doesn't that just mean you can do fucking whatever you want to? And only be like "I accept Jesus as my saviour" at the end? Someone please tell me how it's supposed to work
There are 10 commandments that you're supposed to follow, yeah. It's sort of like outlining what it moral and immoral. Stuff like, "Don't commit adultery." Some Christians place emphasis on the 7 deadly sins, but those are again moreso just general things you should definitely avoid (lust, greed, wrath, etc.). I think that those contrast a lot with what was being talked about with other religions, where there are tons of rituals you have to go through all the time and where the emphasis is more on following the rules so that you can be righteous. Christians generally believe that we're all sinful by nature and that none of us deserve the grace of God. We can't be justified by our own actions. It's only by the grace and love of God that we are saved. Jesus came down and died for our sins so that we could live.
It's not about completing some checklist of things to be righteous enough to earn your way into Heaven, but about trying to do your best and honour God and be a good person. None of us are worthy, we're all sinful, but God gave his only son to die on the cross for our sins. It's only by God's grace that we can be saved, because we don't deserve it. I think if at the end you genuinely accept Jesus as your lord and savior and repent of your sins, are remorseful, etc., God can forgive you. Operative word being "can." I think that's how it's supposed to work.
There's lots of different denominations that believe different things, though. Some don't think that baptism is important, while some believe that it very much is, and that it sort of washes away your past sins and it sort of marks the death of the old you. Protestants have this view that we are justified through faith alone, which often gets misinterpreted to mean you can just do whatever as long as you believe. They actually believe that if you truly have faith, then you'll necessarily do good works. Protestants tend to view justification as a one-time thing. Catholics and Orthodox churches believe (IIRC) that it's sort of both faith and good works. They tend to view it as more of an ongoing process. You can have true faith and belief in God, but it doesn't mean anything if you don't try to do good.
I think that's where a lot of the confusion comes from. I grew up with my parents pretty much being Protestant, but I never had the Protestant view of faith explained to me until I watched a few Catholic videos, and so I always thought that it was just, "Yeah. Believe in God and you'll go to Heaven." I thought that faith just meant belief, but that's not what Protestants mean.
@@zarki-games interesting, thank you for the answer!
@johnpurple5121 You're welcome :) Of course, take it with a grain of salt, I'm no theologist lol.
@@zarki-gamesthank you for your insight. To add to this discussion: Presbyterians believe that grace is given and cannot be earned, so committing good and virtuous deeds is basically a symptom of grace, and not a means to it. Ultimately, I have come to acknowledge that one principle at the core of any Christian doctrine is sincerity. I don't pretend to have it all figured out, but it seems plausible to me that whatever belief you hold with regard to God and finding salvation, you should carry on with your life in a way that is honest (true to yourself) and humble (to seek the truth is to redirect the course of your life every now and then if necessary, thus adjusting your ideas to reality and admitting your mistakes). It demands a strong amount of sincerity to do just that, and God will know if you are being fair or not because He knows everything, yet He will not intervene if you are doing anything bad, because He loves us so much that He is willing to let us make our own choices IF that's what we wish.
May you guys share your thoughts on what to make of this. I'm not a theologist myself either, but I like to exchange theories and ideas with people once in a while.
@@zarki-games Yet all Protestantism is based upon the idea of "Saved by faith alone". But it's the only issue of Protestantism but also the fact that it never continued the traditions of the apostolic church and instead made their own interpretations and denominations devoid of any foundations built by the apostles and the early church fathers.
The Orthodox church has stayed the most true to the early church with the Catholic coming close second. However both of those churches originated from the early church that the apostles founded and later on the church fathers inherited. The same church fathers that compiled the letters and teachings of Jesus that the apostles conveyed to them. Church tradition was in fact as important as following the teachings of the Bible to the apostles. Hence why they founded the early church aka the Orthodox Catholic church.
We as Orthodox and the Catholics believe that salvation is an entire process that includes action and sincere faith. We believe that to be truly saved you need to always try to move towards becoming Christ-like. Of course there will be many shortcomings and obstacles or even rebounds. But what matters is that we persist and we continue to carry our cross till the end of our mortal lives.
