One thing that I find Christians lack is the understanding of fellow Christians. From a young age we are just taught "oh they're different", but never taught *how* different. Learning the similarities and difference are imperative in reducing the rifts between us. Thank you for this unbiased and almost scientific comparison of the major Christian sects.
@@ggchcvccfssfftuksersj7396I was also taught that catholics weren't true Christians, and I never heard of the Orthodox church until I was in high school and found Orthodox monks chanting in a TH-cam video.
Yes I so agree. my grandmother studies in an online bible college and sometimes I listen in on her lessons because I also learn a thing or two. One time, I heard in her lessons that we shouldn’t be too legalistic or dogmatic, and we shouldn’t say things like “oh that person is not a real christian, they will go to hell” because they are in a different denomination. that is not for us to decide and we shouldn’t judge a fellow christian’s faith just because they happen to go to a different church
@@savagesatiregaming1654 thanks brother but i just want to clarify we don't say pbuh (peace be upon him) to God , we say it to prophets , to God we say SWT (The most glorified, the most high)
Catholic here. I liked your summary of all of the denominations. It was honest but fair. I pray for all my brothers sisters in Christ, Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant
We must not be harsh on others nor judge one another. No matter your religion, God has a plan for you. Christ is love. Love yourself to love others. If you don’t love others, you do not love your self. Protestants spend a lot of time looking down on others, as Catholics we literally mean “in Union” so let us unite not cast differences. For the small bickering only leads others to sin and not to the Lord. Forgive others, and you will be able to forgive yourself.
@@snokehusk223 don’t you guys pray to the virgin Mary? You incorporate things that aren’t in the Bible. There are 2 religions, gods word and man’s word. You’re following gods word with man’s word sprinkled in which ultimately makes it man’s word.
I am a protestant Christian from Indonesia.. sending love to Christian brothers and sisters all over the world.. May our faith grow stronger in Jesus Christ ❤ God bless
as a 16yr old southern baptist teen who annoys the heck out of her youth pastor asking the differences between denominations, i found this very intriguing and informative
As a 16 years old Brazilian Presbyterian teen who also annoys the heck out of his youth pastor about the differences between the denominations, I couldn't agree more
our pastor this Sunday spoke about how the Church should be a place to ask questions, even doubts, about faith. I doubt you annoy your youth pastor. Keep seeking sister! God Bless you.
As a Catholic, I appreciated your point on prayer. We don't pray to Mary/the saints to worship them, we are just asking them to pray for us. This is a common misconception among non-Catholics, and I was honestly surprised when you mentioned it. Great video, unbiased and informative!
Why would we ask Mary to pray to God for us, when the Bible clearly states that we are to pray directly to Him, and that our prayers will be heard? All are equal before the Lord.
@@kevincrosby1760 Yes all are equal in His sight, but wouldn't you agree there's power in others praying for us? Why ask anyone at all to pray for us? The Bible does tell us to pray for one another - James 5:16 - so if there is power in the prayers of the righteous, how much more powerful will the prayers of Christ's mother be?
Truly human & truly God, born of Virgin Mary, died for our sins, rose from the dead, ascended & will return, etc., are all stories made up for the fools.
@@danielsparham Please answer this simple question honestly. *FACT:* Theists thank God (especially on thanksgiving) for giving life to them & also for giving life to animals for them to take their lives & eat them. *SIMPLE QUESTION:* Are you unable to see how theologians have tricked the theists to believe in an imaginary God by fooling them to arrogantly ignoring their hypocrisy & narcissism??
@@AtamMardes When Christianity was founded, nobody tricked them into converting. If you converted in the ancient Roman world, you were tortured and killed. The people that converted truly believed in Christ and was willing to die for him. If you use basic logic and critically analyze the world then God is the only logical explanation.
I really enjoyed this video! I'm a Hindu and not Christian, but I appreciated learning about the different denominations as it's something I've always wondered about. Great Work!
@@AE-wv8jd It is mostly a metaphor, not fully literal. Jesus is the root of the body of the church. How can Jesus be married to himself? The imagery comes from the covenant between the 12 tribes of Israel (the "bride") and God. This imagery is repeated in the Christian church and taken a little too literally by priests and nuns in the Catholic church.
As a Catholic, this was actually really good. It's rare to find something that actually spreads truth about the Catholic Church. Most people just freak out saying we worship Mary and pay priests to get us into heaven, and you can never have a real conversation with them.
You do pray to Mary and make graven images which are displayed prominently in the Church, so you can surely understand their confusion, right? And I'm saying this with no condemnation: Jesus knows how to sort this all out, which is why I don't need to worry about passing such judgment. As far as I'm concerned, if Jesus is cool with whatever you do and believe, you're in good company.
@@BRENNANISCATHOLIC No lack of understanding on my part. I understand that the Catholic Bible doesn't have the correct 10 commandments. This is not my opinion. It is an absolute unequivocal fact. In fact, I'd say I understand it better than you for sure.
@@Digitalsapien 1. Exodus 20:4 is part of the first commandment that begins in verse 3 and stretches through part of verse five: You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them. Verses 3 and 5 make clear that this commandment is not simply condemning making statues; It is condemning making gods that you bow down to or serve. In a word, this first commandment forbids idolatry, i.e., the worship of anything or anyone other than God. The Catholic Church condemns this as well. 2. By lifting out part of the first commandment appearing to prohibit the making of “any likeness of anything,” not only do you have God contradicting himself in later commanding the making of statues, but you also end up making the first two commandments repetitive. They are both essentially condemning idolatry. 3. Though the commandments are said to be “ten” in Exodus 34:28, they are not numbered by the inspired authors of Sacred Scripture. If you count the “you shall nots” along with the two positive commandments of keeping holy the Sabbath and honoring father and mother, you end up with 13 commandments. So the actual numbering of the commandments depends upon which “you shall nots” you lump together as one commandment and which ones you separate. And in the end, which “you shall nots” you lump together depends upon your theology. 4. We believe the Catholic Church alone has the authority to give to God’s people an authoritative list of the Ten Commandments. And the Catechism of the Catholic Church does exactly that. At least, it gives us a list as a sure norm for us. 5. The problem with creating a second “commandment” where there actually is not one really comes to the fore at the bottom of the list. The common Protestant listing of the Ten Commandments combines coveting your neighbor’s wife, the Catholic ninth commandment, with coveting your neighbor’s property, the Catholic tenth commandment. And really it just can’t be any other way because you run out of room. I can’t imagine many women being happy with being equated to property! Some may argue at this point: “Well, that is what the Old Testament teaches. We’re just going with what the inspired author teaches.” Are you really? Let’s take a look. Now, it is true that Exodus 20’s version of the 10 commandments appears to place both women and servants in the place of property. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s. I say it seems because Genesis 1:26-27 does reveal God himself to have said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness… So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” There is an essential equality between male and female revealed even in the Old Testament, though this revelation is not as clear and unambiguous as what we have in the New Testament. Exodus 20 certainly does anything but add to the clarity of the point. When I say the revelation of this essential equality is not as clear in the Old Testament, we need to understand why this is so. The Old Testament consists of 46 books written over a period of ca. 1500 years, representing a progressive revelation. Hebrews 1:1-2 says, “In many and various ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets.” The Greek word for “many ways” is polumeros, which means “in many portions;” God gave his revelation in piecemeal fashion over the centuries, taking an ancient people right where they were and gradually beginning to reveal more and more truth as they were able to receive it and as he gradually gave them more and more grace to be able to receive it, all the while respecting their freedom. “But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son…” (Galatians 4:4) to communicate the fullness of the revelation God willed for his people. For example, the divorce God permitted in Deut. 24:1-4, he later says “[he] hates” in Malachi 2:16. And when Jesus elevated marriage to the level of sacrament eliminating divorce and remarriage absolutely in Matt. 19:5-6, he explained that this allowance by God through Moses was never intended from the very beginning citing Genesis 2:24, “the two shall become one flesh.” God permitted things early that he would not have ever willed in an antecedent sense as he helped his people to grow much like a parent does not treat a four year-old the same as he would treat a fourteen year-old. In a similar way, though God revealed the essential equality of man and woman very early in salvation history (Gen. 1:26-27), this revelation was given by God to an ancient people who did not have the same understanding of the essential equality of man and woman we so often take for granted given the fullness of revelation we have enjoyed in the New Covenant for 2,000 years. God did not expect his people to change immediately, nor did he give them the fullness of the revelation that we have in Christ all at once; rather, he helped them along as we’ve said. In fact, we can see this development of understanding even in the Old Testament itself. We cited the earlier version of the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20, but notice the change by the time God gave his people Deuteronomy: Neither shall you covet your neighbor’s wife; and you shall not desire your neighbor’s house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox. Or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s. The inspired author of Deuteronomy now makes the distinction between wife and property sharper by using two different Hebrew words for “covet” and “desire” and by only using the word “covet” with regard to the wife. The two separate commandments now become undeniable.
@@thomasfleming8169 strawman is a kind of logical fallacy / false argument in which a thing is portrayed in a way that presents it as worse off/weaker than it is in reality. It means using words that are related to the subject to some extent but swing either too far, to incite a negative association with a bad thing or too little to avoid a positive association with a good thing.

As a Roman Catholic, I really enjoyed this video. Not only cause I learned about other denominations, but becuase, at least when speaking about catholic beliefs, you were completely correct.

yeah, I can relate with that. I was raised Christian, tho in a low-church environment. we did group activities, had 1 hour per week at school where a nun would teach us Christian stuff. and later on when it became an optional school topic I continued to participate tho by then we were instructed about all religions by a theologist, it was basically a religion-focused version of history classes. all I remember from the nun lessons is the stories with Noah arch and stuff like that, but we never learned about how the church even worked or why it was important, to me it always seemed like yet another group activity, so I ended up becoming atheist (tho technically Christian I guess, since I did the official ceremonies).

Typical brainwashed christianity “He fell down with his face to the ground and prayed, saying: My Father” (Matthew 26:39) Jesus said: “While he was living on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to him who would save him from death, and he was heard because of his respectful obedience.” (Hebrews 5:7) Your Jesus prayed like a Muslim; So who did God pray to? John 20:17 "Jesus said to him, Touch me not; for I have not yet ascended to my Father; go up to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father, and to your Father, and to my God, and to your God, and to your God."

The image you used to represent the church of Christ is actually the image of the Desciples of Christ, a progressive denomination popular in the central United States. They definitely agree with the essentials and have nothing in common with the other three “on the fence” denominations you listed. Great video though!
My C of C experience was very much like Baptist with the exceptions being a total no-go on instrumental music in the church and zero tolerance for anything they refer to as "pleasures of the flesh". You can get into bug trouble up to even being "dis fellowed" which is kicked out so by their rationale you are doomed because C of C is the only ture religion and eternal torment awaits anyone not directly in fellowship with that denomination. And they mean it. Hell will be seriously crowded, and heaven will have only a few souls in it.

Pentecostal here I love this guy I'm 22 and having a young guy like this talk so clearly about the faith is great thank you many blessings to you my brother
I had to embrace my original denomination pentacostal haha grew up going to an inspiration bible church aka charismatic pentacostal I was saved on a Friday and experienced my revival on a Sunday. But I was never baptized physically I was in the spirit though. I'm definitely on the renegade side of the faith 😂 but I guess that was God's plan for me, to be free and serve him as I walk. It's more liberating and exciting.
As a Catholic I’m glad you got the prayers to saints thing correct because many people think that we pray to saints like we to with God, but it’s more of asking for help with something
@@bri-gt7hnwe know that, we pray to the saints just because they are like an example to us. An example of how we can live our lives. Many of these saints became martyrs, we do not worship them, we ask for help and see their example of faith.
@@bri-gt7hnfor example, we can look towards the example of Saint Don Bosco, a man who founded the Salesians. A group of Catholics who look after the young and youth. We look to their examples of faith of how we can implement their way of life so that we too can reach Jesus and live in paradise with God
I’m an atheist but I’m interested in learning about religion. I absolutely love your channel because you provide academic explanations without trying to convert anyone. I commend your work. Maybe we wouldn’t agree on certain things but I respect you and love your videos
As a Muslim from Muslim-majority country, I found this video very informative. In my country, people will dismiss you immediately (since mostly think this topic is super taboo) or give you a highly-biased information about Christianity. I never had any intention to convert, but by learning some basic intros of another religions, I hope we as human being can respect on each other perspectives. It will helps to ensure peace among each other by avoiding conflict based on dumb, baseless prejudices IMO
Assalamu alaikum brother! As a Baptist Christian myself, it is so refreshing and heart warming to know there are people of other faiths that just want to understand and praise His name with our fellow brothers and sisters. Allah deserves all the praise!
Doesn't the Quran say in Surah 9-30 "the Christians and the Jews, how deluded are their minds, may Allah destroy them"? Why don't all muslims go out and kill Christians and Jews?
I’m not religious so I don’t understand the blind hate toward others but I do believe if we listen we can understand each other better. We don’t have to agree, it’s okay, but we should respect each other.
I think it was nice to see literally just what the fundamental differences were between denominations. In depth analyses can follow but I think simplicity was key
I was raised in the Church of Christ denomination in Texas. No music, calm preachers, everyone dresses up (apparently I disrespected God because I wore a hat inside the building once, and a t-shirt another time). They also sung mostly in monotone. One time I was caught tapping my foot during a song and was told that was a sin. I literally saw my church split over the use of music. There was a Sunday when a group of deacons stepped forward to resign and announce they were starting a new church with the only difference being it would play music. Half the congregation left with them. The youth minister took my youth group to a youth retreat an hour away over the weekend one time. We didn't know until we got there it was hosted by a baptist church. When we got back home, the youth minister got in trouble with the leadership and parents for "PUTTING THE SOULS OF OUR CHILDREN IN DANGER!!!". Because Church of Christ is the ONLY way to go to Heaven. Luckily, he wasn't let go. He was awesome and actually had an Xbox in the youth room and he'd invite high schoolers over to the church on Saturdays for Halo tournaments. The leadership was cool with this because it was one way to get kids to start coming to church. It worked, too. Youth attendance went up. In 2014, when I was 26, I moved to Ohio and started going to a baptist church because I couldn't find a Church of Christ near me. The first few weeks at the baptist church was uncomfortable. I mean, they played...music!! Can you imagine!? It was an acoustic guitar and piano! The horror!! But eventually I got comfortable and realised that the Church of Christ hadn't covered so much stuff. I'd tried asking questions at the church when I was younger and was told to stop asking questions. The baptist church I started attending not only welcomed questions, they encouraged it. We would have deep dives into scripture and I would learn so much. That's when my faith started to grow. In 2021, I moved to San Francisco. My bestfriend attended a pentecostal church. Again, I was uncomfortable with this, but I wanted to go to the same church as my bestfriend. Turns out, they're not a bunch of theatrical weirdos. They are the most essentric congregation I've ever been a part of, with a full band on stage and members dancing openly. Like with the baptist church, I eventually got comfortable here. Almost two years later, I realise now after so much more studying that your denomination doesn't really matter. The three different churches I've been a member of throughout my life do things so wildly different from each other, but that doesn't mean that any of them are wrong. They all believe the same core things, that Jesus is the Son of God, He died for our sins and rose again. That's really the only thing that matters. Not labels or music or any of the countless reasons Christians fight about.
I was also raised Church of Christ. Your first paragraph had me in stitches! When I went away to school, my mother called every week to see if I had found a good Church of Christ. I now consider myself agnostic. Thanks for sharing.
This writing fills my heart with so much joy. How I long for a unity of all the followers of Christ! I grew up in a Pentecostal church where the Sunday services are always very expressive and filled with energetic music. And that's how I feel very comfortable worshipping God. Then I moved to a Lutheran church in a small village in another province, was surprised but learnt how to blend in but one day when I was in 4th grade, I was "accused" as a Catholic (lol) by the pastor because of the way I prayed. I still don't know the reason to this day, but the way he judged me felt like he and everyone had a certain grudge towards the Catholics. Meanwhile I went to a Catholic school and I enjoyed learning about Catholicism and their traditions. Then I became a teen and moved away, attended Pentecostal church again, my family and I ready for our baptism. My aunt who was Lutheran CRIED so badly thinking we are going to be forever lost in a wrong faith. I seriously don't understand the fear and hatred against each other. Aren't we all Christians? We all follow Jesus. As long as you follow Him, then you are a brother/sister no matter how you do it. I will always introduce myself as a Christian, not a Pentecost or a Lutheran or whatever, because what matters is Him, and not our worldly identity.
Very interesting. The most important thing is that you reminded faithful to God and maintained your relationship with him. Didn't your first church read in Scripture that we are to make a joyful noise unto the Lord? Don't they know David played a soothing harp? I've visited different congregations in my country, Pentecostal, Baptist, Independent Baptist, etc and they all played music. I think the Bereans (I've been) don't.
@@priciliar.s.simarmata2373 Exactly!! Check out what Paul said: I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose. 1 Corinthians 1:10 NLT Also, Romans 14:1-11 basically talks about not arguing with other Christians about the way they choose to practice.
Your video has helped me now and in the past. I was very disconnected with my denomination and religion as a whole. I grew up catholic and was only in it by me saying i was "loosly catholic." I have since started praying the rosary and going to church and have decided to become catholic again. I debated if i wanted to be othodox, catholic, or some form of protestant. The one that felt right in my conscience and speaking to me or "calling" was to go back to my roots.
I was pleasantly shocked how accurate the majority of this video was. Normally I cringe watching people summarize belief systems, because most people suck at it. This was actually pretty solid and shows you've got at minimum a decent understanding and at most a pretty thorough understanding of each of these. Well done. Might use this to explain some differences to my youth group.

Agnostic here. Always wondered what the difference was, but whenever I asked my late church elders, they never could say the differences other than "WE are the TRUE one", so thank you, this was really informative!
I was atheist and having really bad anxiety and panic attacks. I called my old friend who is hardcore Christian and he asked how my relationship with God was. I thought it was silly, he said don't just pray tonight, pour your heart out to God. So I did it that night. I poured my heart out to God. I didn't want to make it about myself so I prayed for my other friend who is a bad alcoholic. About 30 minutes after I was done praying, at 2 a.m., that very friend called me up crying and his first words were "dude, I think I need to find God". I've been friends with him over 20 years, seen him rip up Bibles, and he's never spoke those words to me until 30 minutes after I prayed for him.
A bunch of people already said this here, but I'm glad you weren't biased against one or the other. You explained them all equally and was to the point the whole time. (As a Catholic, I thank you specifically for getting the prayers-to-saints thing correct as well ;), so many people misunderstand that part as worshipping them like we do God)
Well, he put "Church of Christ" as on the fence as being Christian. If he means Churches of Christ (it's unclear, but I assume he does given this seems more US focused, but maybe he means one of the other forms?), then yeah, that's a big FU to that denomination. And his comment about liberal churches... he's definitely got an axe to grind and isn't unbiased. Edit: Ah, he means Disciples of Christ, given the symbol. Not Churches of Christ. In a video supposed to make denominations easier to understand, no less. Ugh.

I think most people are Baptist. But the words are almost meaningless now because within each denomination, each church will fall somewhere along the left/right political spectrum. Trust me, the Baptist church in souther California is not the same as the Baptist church in Florida. I wouldn't recognize a lot of Baptist churches in america because most don't follow the Bible anymore. They eisegesis the whole thing and just call themselves baptists
As a Christian Orthodox, I must say that many of the things you said about the Catholic Church refer to the Orthodox as well. And there isn’t much of “mystery”, there just is an understanding that we cannot truly comprehend everything about God. Other than that, great video!!

@@justchilling704 I love how for every calvinist out there theres a lot of baptist and pentes ready to say the same four arguments we've been hearing for centuries X,D Can't we just chill in our books? we havent drown anabaptist or tried to take over england in centuries by now. Go preach somewhere in Africa or something, our double predestination thingy wont send y'all to hell if you just ignore it XD
Dude this was excellent. Boiling down the essential differences so concisely in a 12 minute video is just impressive. Great visuals to, the zoomers do the internet right.
Years ago, I worked with a Moroccan, who was a Muslim, and he referred to Christians and Jews as "fellow People of the Book". He wasn't fussed what flavour of faith you enjoyed, he was just happy that you had faith. Me, I'm a non-believer, but he was magnanimous to me too - since he was sure he would go to the Bad Place (he was very humble...), and that he would get there first, he said he'd look out for me when I got there, and not let them roast me for too long...😂
@@rickynoodles2816 rare? this is what is taught to the majority from the actual source. the quran says to treat "fellow people of the book" with respect.
@@rickynoodles2816 problem is that if people actually followed the book, the world would be a better place. but instead you have extremists, you have like you said hypocrites, you have people that pick and choose parts that they want to hear. Islam says to love Christianity, but I will definitely agree with you there are Alot of Muslims that don’t like Christians, and Alot of Christian that don’t like Muslims. This is because they hold grudges due to historical events, which is a part of human nature. I would almost argue it’s the work of satan that made us target each other in the first place (make it easier to divide and conquer).
@@genekendrick679 he literally said that the most offensive way possible, i went to spain and the catholics were mad when i tried to group them in w us as christians
God loves everyone and wants all people to come into a relationship with Him. The world has invented evolution which they still call a theory. There is no way that life formed out of nothing. Think about this, do you believe that you could travel around the multiverse and find a cell phone that was formed by pure chance sitting on a planet somewhere in the remote corner of a galaxy that was powered up and ready to be used? If not, how do you think that something more complex like a living cell or organism could be formed out of nothing? Much less a whole ecosystem that would be needed to sustain that organism that would be present all at once?
Presbyterian here! Considering the fact that I would say I’m very devout, yet also work as an analytical chemist, I think you calling us the ‘nerdy Christians’ is pretty spot on. We are definitely more theologically centered in our worship. Loved listening to this video!
Same here! Presbyterian here, I have a friend who is a theological nerd an three friends in the medical field. My brother whose also devote is a doctor. Im kinda of the odd ball as a teacher but love diving in the intricacies of theology. Stay cool my nerdy brother/sister in Christ 😎
I loved this video. I think growing up under a certain denomination, you believe other denominations are "lesser" or "lost", but this gave a very objective description of each. We cant put each other down, we need to keep showing that brotherly love to all fellow believers
Same here, I had that conversation many times. Lutherans aren't alone with the traditional understanding of the Lord's Supper. I feel bad for churches that teach its only symbolic. They are missing such amazing gifts!
@Jason Smith actually the Last Supper wasn't a Passover Seder: The majority of scholars of the Last Supper do not believe that it was a Passover meal, a position consistent with the account given by the Gospel of Saint John. A minority believe that it was a seder or Passover meal, a position consistent with the Synoptic gospels. However, as Enrico Mazza has argued, the minority view "remains a theological interpretation. The historical fact is that the Last Supper was not a Passover celebration and, consequently, that its liturgy was not that of the Jewish Passover" (The Celebration of the Eucharist: The Origin of the Rite and the Development of Its Interpretation [Collegeville, MN: Liturgical Press, 1999] pp. 25-26).
Wow I was raised as a Catholic, married in the Methodist church, did missionary work through the Presbyterian Church, was part of a Pentecostal group and many non denominational churches over the years. Have been blessed to participate in so many ways of worship and have learned that all Love God just in different ways. My wish is for all Christians to unite as one Church appreciating our differences. Thank you for the great lesson.
My brother, do you not see how people look and their wonderful creation? Do you not see the very large planets, the vast space, the sky with its birds, the sun and the moon, the seas and their creatures, the earth and all its creatures? This is not the work of humans. This is only God's work. Jesus is God's prophet and messenger. Jesus worships God Almighty and does not associate anyone with Him. Why don't you worship God? Why do you worship someone like you? Why do you worship stones, trees, cows, idols, the sun, the moon, and the devil? It only takes a little thought and not to be arrogant and say: This is the religion of my ancestors. The test of your ancestors has ended and the time of testing ends at death. So what did you do on your test paper? (Think and look) at God’s great creation and you will know the truth, so worship God alone and do not associate anyone with Him
My father -- a former minister and occasional preacher -- told me there is one church, of which there are many confessions, divided into a multitude of congregations.
@@0SSM What you are missing, is that Jesus IS Creator God and one with the Father! Jesus took on human form in order to die, taking the punishment for our sin so that we could have eternal life with God. Because Jesus perfectly and completely paid for all sin, the Father raised him from death, and Jesus now reigns over all. If Jesus were only one more prophet/messenger, there would be no message to bring, and no escape from our sin and eternal death. It is ONLY through Jesus the Christ that we can have forgiveness from our sin. I do not worship "someone like me" - I worship Creator God, the Holy Trinity working together to plan and speak the universe into existence, to make the creation, and to give life to all living creatures.
The Prophet Jesus is only a human being. You are the ones who said that He is the Son of God and that He is the third of the three and in Him is the Father. Unfortunately, things are neither logical nor rational. God Almighty is above the seventh heaven above the throne. This is his place. Glory be to God Almighty. The difference between you and me is that you worship a human being who has a father, a son, and a god inside him, and this is wrong. Worship God alone, with no partner, living and never dying, great and wise, so worship God and do not associate anyone with Him. Jesus is only a sent prophet, and his message is: There is no god but God, so worship Him. .
I am not a Muslim, but I once read about Mohammed and it's history etc. I live in a Christian country and although I am no longer Christian; I found that story pretty fascinating stuff.
Oriental Orthodox are technically different from Eastern Orthodox because they rejected the Council of Chalcedon. Lately their Theology has fallen into step with Chalcedon, yet they reject it as a matter of tradition mostly (despite practically agreeing with it entirely).
Thanks for taking the time to sketch out this essay on most of the kinds of church names. It's a handy reference guide like the history of all the different versions of the DC Justice League characters in the Classic, Golden, Silver and other ages.
Born-and-raised Catholic here; I genuinely appreciate the view into the other branches of the Christian tree. I also appreciate that you correctly label us as having an answer for everything and trying to figure out everything about everything. (I personally am this way too lol)
Catholics are the Whore of Babylon spoke of in Revelation 17. Catholicism isn't Christianity, not even close. It's Satanic wickedness and evil at it's core.Father God commanded to have no idols and that is all Catholicism is. Read revelation 17, it is Holy Roman and the Vatican they are speaking of.

I am a traditional Roman Catholic and my mom grew up baptist. she converted to the Catholic faith because she said it was eye-opening to her and there were answeres for everything she had wondered in the past. this is one of the very few places I feel comfortable talking about this because of how unpopular it is
Mine is the opposite, I was raised Roman Catholic by my dads family bc my mom wasn't religious, but then she found Jesus and now she thinks everything ab Catholicism is wrong 😂
@sepulvedablvd7846 The opposite actually. Unlike modern people, people of the past believed that the world was declining instead of advancing, so the further back you went, the wiser and more intelligent people were. So, how do you reconcile the fact that people were simultaneously wrong but more intelligent (they were wrong because they believed in several gods, but they were right about the observations that they made about the world about them)? The answer simply, they didn't have the bible, so they couldn't make the right conclusions! So, all of the stuff about Roman gods was in a way right, they just had to reinterpret them in a Christian way. So all of the "recycled" concept and stuff you see in Christianity (there's a lot of Egyptian stuff too), is, in fact, on purpose, not a "gotcha!" as people seem to believe, like you do.
@@devildante9 it was to baptize old religious practices and art of a culture to make it adaptable by the people they sought to bring in , like the christmas tree vs the oak of thor among the germanic peoples, or dates of celebrations that are moveable, or bits like the egg to help symbolize resurection and rebirth, and penticost also in continuing the jewish practice of the first fruits but instead of physical farm grains and fruits its the first fruits of the spirit of God and the first mass spread and great commissioning where people started by the Power of the Holy Ghost speaking differant languages of differant nations to carry the message to them in a way they could understand, it was also what sent the power of God and Jesus to the 12 and the deciples to carry out their mission in otherwords what gave it power, which is why Jesus acended so the Paraclet could come, His Holy Ghost, Penticost is also the birth of the church really, and you have the practice of prayer 7 times a day at differant hours just like the jewish priests in the temple would have done at differant hours that is a carry though from the jewish to the new group of Christians that were catholic, protestents protested us and broke from us, the orthadox and far east orthadox are still what are called apostolic churches meaning being able to trace roots back to the 12 of Jesus that went out after penticost to make deciples of all nations, saddly this fact was forgotten over the centuries as things evolved like the preservation of coptic the language of the eygptions before islam invaded and took over the nations when it spread, it was called the spoken language of hiroglypics or its modern version till 7th century roughly, or the forgoten fact that in india is the group of christians that are the syro malabar rite since apostalic times but the largest body in europe forgot this fact till they started seeing them when exploration happened and they made it that far east trading and colonizing, as bad as it might have been in its treatment many times and the evangelization that happened with it, it also brought exchange of ideas weath and abillity to share a more common language of trade, or stoping human sacrafice where it was found. many did wrong in the name of a church but it also brought great hope to many that were downtrodden and spread a real truth and brought learning and compassion from those that were truely faithful, and a repository of knowlege over time in the privet libraries like the monestaries and the vatican secret library, which is ment to say its the privet library of the pope and contains many historical documents preserved and corraspondance with world leaders the holy see had, its not ment to be soo much hidden away as it is a privet library like the library of congress or the newbury in chicago and they do allow some limited outside research but still have stuff that needs curated and catalougued that they dont even know they have.
Understanding of the Bible comes through the holy spirit in study of the Bible. The most important thing to remember is that chirst is our salvation, any and all other differences in belief are small issues "arguing about how the hinges work on the door, not about which door is the right one". Study the Bible with the holy spirit as your companion, not with preconceived information given by fallible man is all I can say to help people
I’m Catholic, thank you for clarifying we don’t worship or directly pray to the saints but rather we ask them to pray for us. God bless you 🧡 Edit: I started a war Edit 2: Why don’t you guys ACTUALLY do some research on Catholicism Edit 3: I’m done with y’all STOP REPLYING TO THIS COMMENT
@@7sGalaxy i just don't get it. If you can pray directly to God, then just why not? Do the saints and his mother get heard more or have a bigger say? The comparison to real life isn't really the same in my opinion because not only you're praying but they are also, but you're just praying to the saints. And how do you know if it works or not. Isnt praying suppose to be talking to God?
@@bubbles13244 remember the story when the god decided to eradicate all jewish people after they created a gold idol and leave only moses to try to create the nation again, moses convinced the god not to do so. Question, if someone else, but moses, asked the god for it, would the god be convinced? Would the god listen to the one he wanted to eradicate? Or moses' word was more significant to the god so he was convinced?
@raymond4346 Fellow Christian here. Really appreciate my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters taking an interest in Christianity. Grace and peace to you from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! ❤
As someone who was raised in more of a Baptist/Non-denominational setting, it means a lot to be taught these distinctions. I never understood why they are segregated and what they believe, as well as my spirituality being much more serious now and wanting to go back to church but not knowing what truly fit for me in the physical location around me. It helps me understand, therefore respect these different beliefs a lot more. I'm making the step to go to a new church this Sunday, and its a big part in thanks to you giving a very simple but digestible summary. God bless 🙏✝ Update: I did go through with going to a new church all by myself! It went very well and I’m very excited to keep going ^^
I used to be a devout Catholic but then one day there appeared this video in my feed from a Protestant Biblical Scholar by the name of Scott Hahn, he and his book The Lamb’s Supper got to me and now I am a lover of John Chapter 6. Thank you Jesus.
@@lyrebird9749 I don’t really get what you mean. If you don’t believe in it or find it to be that way I suppose I get that, but I found the diversity to be interesting.
As someone who spent a lot of their childhood in a strict baptist church and moved into non-denomination, it's actually fascinating to look at non-denominational churches and realize 'Oh it's just baptist, but not advertised as such'. Very well explained as well, kudos to you
I went from a non-denominational church to attending a Baptist Church, and there really wasn't much of a difference, it's been more of a difference with the pastor.
As a Catholic from India who relocated first to the US and then to Netherlands in the last 5 years, I was shocked by the number of different types of churches i found everywhere. I was totally was waiting to see a helpful video like this! Thank you.
The Catholic Church is pre-denominational. There is only one Church (includes all Catholic - Eastern Catholic (not Eastern Orthodoxy) , Syro Malabar, established in India by Apostle, St Thomas , etc) outside of which are the numerous Christian. denominations / ecclesial communities.
@@finallythere100 no its not. orthodoxy literally means "right worship" the Catholic church is the result of the great schism. the arguments in said schism were almost all won by the Orthodox. for instance, icons of the Theotokos and saints, not just Christ.
The Catholic church in the late second century committed apostasy John warned of and the catholic adopted the outright pagan trinity teaching and also the pagan immortal soul teaching. Learn what the Judeo-Christian beliefs were. Reject the pagan trinity teaching as did Sir Isaac Newton and many others who searched/search for the Truth written plainly in the Bible. Use The Divine Name of God as Jesus taught to Firstly pray for The Sanctification of God's Name. God's Name is The Tetragrammaton and it is Replaced by pagan apostate trinitarians as all capital letters GOD or LORD in their Bible translations. Almost 7,000 times is YHWH written in the Judeo-Christian Bible. Every time those Hebrew verses with YHWH in them were read aloud in the first century or copied down in the first century writings the Name of the One True God would have Rightly been pronounced. Reject the apostate pagan trinity and Glorify God in the heavens and His Firstborn Son Jesus Christ. Yes give them Each their PROPER recognition. Reject the apostate pagan trinity and search out the Truth. No one comes to the Father except through Jesus Christ. Where's the trinity in that statement tWinity maybe lol.
Church of Christ here. I would like to say we absolutely believe in the christian essentials. Thank you for not being judgemental with your words. God bless you!

I'm agnostic and I am glad I found this video because it has helped me to better understand why there are so many different churches within a religion as well as making me aware that I cannot assume specifics about individuals based on their being religious. Thanks for taking the time to produce this and presenting it in an easy to digest format. 10/10 mate.
I invite you to watch Redeemed Zoomer's video about the history of the Church "History of the Entire Church, i guess..." it is very good to understand it too.
@@xB1GW1GGLYx stop yelling people what to think. You're driving them away. Are you actually a Satanist in disguise, chasing people away from God? If not, hold your judgmental tongue.
Although all of my close family are Christian, they're all different denominations. My dad and boyfriend are Baptist, my mom is Catholic (the church I was baptized in), my grandmother is Methodist... the list goes on. Basically, my point is that even though I'm definitely Christian, I'm not quite sure where I stand on denominations. Personally, I'd say I agree with Lutheranism most. This is something I've always struggled with since I was younger. This video really helped me kinda straighten things out! Thanks, and God bless. Edit: Can you guys please stop harassing me for not being Catholic? I have suffered abuse or at least terrible treatment from every one of my Catholic family members as a child and therefore have bad associations with the denomination. I've considered it recently, and that's kind of the whole point I was trying to make? Edit #2: God bless everyone that introduced me to the Orthodox church! I really do feel the way I feel I should as a Christian.
I doubt you'll see this, but you should really read the preface of C.S. Lewis' book called Mere Christianity. In it, he describes a vast hall with side rooms. The big hall is where people like you are. Believers, but not sure of which small room to go into. The rest of the book is amazing too.
@@Mctwist42 I absolutely love C.S. Lewis! Ever since I was younger, I've read him be it through Narnia when I was very young, the space trilogy later on, and now the Screwtape Letters. Thank you so much for your recommendation, and I'll add it on my list!
i was told by some Lutheran guy that they don't be believe in the after life (i.e heaven and hell no Judgment day, no rapture.) and once you're dead you're dead, which boggles my mind how any follower of Christ would chose to believe in something so dreadful, you might as well be atheist at that point.
@@ItsFuseFX Myself being a Lutheran, we do certainly believe in the afterlife, heaven, and hell. It's all stated in the bible, to not believe in that would be to reject the Gospel, going against the religion itself.
I watched this with trepidation, but I was very pleasantly surprised. A really balanced and thoughtful exposition covering the important points but emphasizing the unity of essential belief. Well done, and very informative. Thanks!
As someone who grew up Methodist but had a hard time wrapping my head around all these different sects of Christianity, I really appreciate this breakdown and explanation!
1 thing tho. They are not sects. Sectism is like a cult. It is treated as an illegitimate branch of religion. Denominations are different becsuse they all acknowledge eachother as legitimate
thats bc its a jewish story. the truth is Aryan Hinduism. That is the source of everything from modern astronomy to concepts in physics and neuroscience, as well as the source of much inspiration for the first air breathing turbofan engines and closed cycle fuel injectors with circular ignition chambers within which tiny pores would introduce fuel. all of it is taken from the Rig Vedas.
@cuman exactly. Jew. That is My point. the surya siddhanta, vedas, and other ancient hindu texts gave to you Caucasianoids everything you know. You've turned a once spiritual and connected world to that of evil materialism, violence, and disease. and here you are pretending to know him when you cannot even balance a chemical reaction. awful
If you're curious, talk to people. Visit other churches. Christianity can't be boxed in. Like one Lutheran church might be VERY different than another Lutheran church.
The only REAL christianity, and the ones that are behind the King James bible, and they know that's the book, they know the book is perfect, they believe on it and they received Jesus because by reading the King James bible they understand they were sinners, they repent, they ask forgivenes to God, they ask to God for his salvation believing the Gospel (1 Co 15), coming to the Lord broken, and they born again (2 Co 5:17, 1 Pe 1:23). If you didn't do this YOU ARE A FALSE CONVERT!!!!!!!!! Go and watch a video called "The marks of a false convert" by born again barbarian on youtube.
Yes the comments are terrifying. Oh thank You I didn’t know this? Meaning, they just believe it because they don’t know any better. Lutheran (Missouri synod ) is Bible truth conservative Christian Right w God whereas some other Lutheran churches are liberal left wing- meaning everything that anything that goes against Gods Commandments are cool w them. This the difference between sheep and wolves
It's like 2AM and I'm completely agnostic yet I just watched all 12 minutes and 9 seconds of this video without pausing or skipping. The video has really great graphics and he explains everything in a very entertaining way. Also, it was very informative even though I am not religious.
Wow it's 2:04am anyway I think this is almost a perfect video. Even the Seventh Day Adventist got brought up for a second. I've been a Christian my entire life & learned more in this video about all the different "Christians" than I did in 10 grades of Christian school. But my school taught about Jesus, not how different we SDA were.
I’m a baptist but no one has ever explained to me how exactly all the other denominations are different. even though I still believe the baptist interpretation of the Bible is probably the most accurate, I think it’s really important to know exactly what everyone else believes so thanks for this video!
I am interested as you are baptist and seem to be very invested in that theology, how do you interpret that speaking of tongues of the pentecostals? If you would imagine a local church gathering in a city, where multiple denominations meet, how would you react to speaking in tongues of people? And also what do you think about gifts of the spirit? Like healing and so on.
@@fabianletsch1354 I honestly have to do more research on the topic of tongues, however I have always been interested in that aspect of the pentecostal church. my current view on the speaking of tongues is that the bible clearly says it is a gift of the holy spirit that is given to some. I must admit that if I experienced someone supposedly speaking in tongues, I would be skeptical. I believe that for someone to truly be speaking in tongues, the words they say have to be beneficial to others in leading them to christ. like in acts when the apostles first speak in tongues, their words lead thousands of people to be saved. so to answer your question I think speaking in tongues is a very real gift from the holy spirit that he still uses today, but I think a lot of people who supposedly speak in tongues are not actually, they are just caught up in emotions or feel that they have to speak in tongues to prove they are spiritual. but God gives everyone different gifts, so not everyone is going to speak in tongues in their life. I have the same view on the other spiritual gifts you mentioned. Honestly, I want to do my own research on this subject though. I don’t want to give my age on this platform, but I am quite young and still learning about everything 😅
Since you're not God, you can't say which interpretation is most accurate. Baptists are not better than other denominations, just different. Also, since Baptists have a wide range of interpretations (very individualistic) how can you group them all together?
@@laurent1144 Yeah, you have (of the top of my head) Fundamental Independent Baptist Foot Washed Baptist Primitive Baptist Southern Baptist Northern Baptist And a subgroup called "Baptist Briderism" where these people believe only Baptists can be the Bride of Christ.
@@laurent1144 you can read the bible and analyse it. God has given the Bible to us as a guide for life and so if we see completely unbiblical things like some of the traditions of the roman catholic church or Mormons we can use discernment to stay away from that.
Yeah me too, pretty based Calvinist tbh Edit for clarity: The Calvinists have always been based as hell, I find the Church of most sorts wholly (haha) unnecessary
From a few of this guy's other videos, I can say he's very good at laying stuff out in a way anyone can get. I'm of no gods of faith, but I know a thing or two about many of these branches from history.
As an Anglican/Episcopalian boomer I would say you got our story only half right. Our church is split in America just like the presbyterians but the Anglican Communion , on the whole, is conservative and probably shares your views. Zoomers like to condense things down simple terms- I think faith and church history is too complicated for 12 minutes. But, wish you well on your faith journey
Lutheran here, and you explained our beliefs really well! I've heard my pastor explains the differences between a few of the different denominations, but it's very nice to have a description of all of them and their differences. It's even better to know our similarities and that we all agree on the vital beliefs of Christianity. Very helpful!
The only thing I would argue about is the Lords Supper. I am LCMS and I was always taught the body and blood are in, with and under the bread and the wine. We don’t go as far as Catholics and say it “IS” but we don’t just say it’s a mere symbol. It’s a wonderful mystery that we don’t necessarily need to understand to enjoy the heavenly benefits it provides
@@joelcrumrine6182 The term is "Consubstantiation", as Luther himself mentioned the presence of Christ is "added" to the supper without destroying it. In "Transubstantiation" the divine presence outright replaces the material nature of the supper.
I’m an ex-catholic agnostic. It felt really weird when I was watching this video as I realized I was not told the basics of my denomination, much less the structures of other denominations. Very educational however, and fascinating to listen to!
Except we aren't a denomination. We are the common denominator that all the churches trace their lineage back to. The first protestants started 1500 years after Christ--very recently. The Catholic Church is the og, and therefore the only valid one. Think about it objectively
@barış sanlı Is it? Where am I wrong? The only church that existed for the first thousand years of Christianity was the Catholic Church. Who do you think compiled the bible?
Objectively it might make more sense for individuals and congregations to decide matters regarding their religion democratically. Authoritarian leadership thousands of miles away in Rome might not be best practice. That was the major difference pointed out in this video between Catholics and Protestants. There is a LOT of confusion with both organizational systems of religion. Protestants just seem to get the confusion sorted faster locally.
@@spacehonky6315 best practice? Without a central authority (Catholic magisterium) how are you sure your head pastor isn’t leading his flock astray (heresy)?
Agree is really fair, also i liked the fact that he explained our relation with the Holy Mary and the saints which sometimes is confusing to our christian brothers

This video is honestly amazing. I was born and raised Roman Catholic (24 at the time of writing). While I hold the church near and dear to my heart, I currently find hardship in following one faith over another. However, I do find tradition to be necessary although somewhat leniently. Though I am consistently wandering and confused, albeit fascinated by other denominations of Christianity and the rest of the major organized religions across the globe. Religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. While I continue my journey in Faith, I wish to say God Bless all my brothers and sisters in Christ as well as everyone on this planet and universe.
The church are followers of Christ, not an institution. I don't think people gotta remind you of what organized religion has done in the name of Christ. There is not one faith over the other, theres only faith in Christ. Take it from a former secularist. Looking at all these denomination and people arguing about how one is better than the other is what keeps a lot of people from the true Christ. Especially when someone from a certain group tends to claim theirs to be the TRUE one, but one look at their history is all you need to confirm their false claims. Stay safe.
Dude The Holy , Apostolic church founded by Jesus Christ. Stay firm Catholic and don't wander. You have doubts, hit the books, read church history. Luther created this mess. He took books from the Bible, yes the Bible is Catholic, and he dropped them because it did not compliment his man made dogma of Sola Scriptura . If you are a Catholic, take a careful look at Ecumenism. Rather pray for the conversion of other man made religions. Hold on to tradition, scripture and our Magisterium. Stay strong
@Christian Khoury yes, that church simply being anyone who puts their faith in Christ genuinely from the heart and that's it. once you've been reborn in that way, then you're immediately made a member of the kingdom of heaven and part of the body.
In my 26 years of being a christian ive never seen such good explanation on the different denominations. This is pure gold. I am looking for more information on 7th day adventist. A friend is considering leaving the baptist doctrine to join them and I dont have a lot of information to give the counsel she asked for. Update: she didn’t end up changing churches! Thank you for the suggestions
@@ellelamana255 more concrete discussions about the writings of Ellen G White and her importance in their doctrine. And their beliefs in general. I've heard they are basically "Jewish Christians" but not a whole lot more tbh
@@Slotcaramba I am a Seventh Day Adventist. I was catholic before. Finding God through the SDA church has been a treasure for me. Don’t stop your friend from approaching the SDA church. God is calling her, don’t be a stumbling block. Just pray for her that God guides her. As far as “Christian Jews” we believe to keep all 10 commandments. Including the 4th one. Keeping the Sabbath Holy. No where in the Bible does it say to change the Holy day to Sunday. So we worship and congregate on Sabbath. Like it has been with the Jews since the beginning of time. 6 days of creation… on the seventh day God rested. The Seventh being Saturday. The real Sabbath. We also keep the food laws as much as possible. Maybe not in the way we butcher and prepare the meat. But we do abstain from eating “unclean” animals like shrimp, pork etc. Ellen G. White is seen as a lesser light. Her writing help us understand the Bible, so they are to be used as study guides or commentary, and we believe God used her to write these books, but her books don’t have more authority than the Bible. So while she writes about many things about Christ and the early church, and the apostles, she also writes about Christian life and not only abstaining from unclean animals, but she also suggests eating a vegetarian or vegan diet. Not all Adventists are vegetarian or vegan, but it’s definitely one of our messages, to eat clean and healthy and take care of God’s temple which is our body. Within the Seventh Day Adventist church you will find liberals and conservatives and everything in between. Also ultra liberals and ultra conservatives. That I must warn you about. Don’t judge the SDA church based off the ultras. I do recommend you watch Amazing Facts channel on TH-cam with Pastor Doug Batchelor. He is an amazing example of conservative (anti woke) but not legalistic or unbiblical. Look him up on TH-cam . He has a lot of sermons explaining and debunking a lot of misconceptions of the SDA church, but most importantly, he has tons of sermons intended to direct us to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The state of the dead is also a belief we hold. What happens when we die? You will be fascinated by what Doug Batchelor teaches directly from scripture! Blessings!
Babylon the Great includes all denominations and sects of christianity. Babylon is confusion and those who subscribe to any of these sects are a member of a harlot. They are one flesh with her as opposed to being joined unto the Lord as one Spirit. As it is written, let God be true but EVERY MAN A LIAR. When we are yet carnal and are part of this global system of harlotry, we are alienated from the life of God. The great whore is very seductive and many strong men have been slain by her as the scriptures declare. There is none good but one, that is God. That was the response of Jesus when he was called Good Teacher. That still holds true today. The few who find the narrow path that leads to righteousness actually believe there is one Good Teacher and let Him be true but every man a liar. As it is written, for from the least unto the greatest of them, ALL are greedy for gain, prophets and priests alike, ALL practice deceit.
My husband studied SDA years ago. He did not choose to be a part of it because he observed they treated Ellen White's writing on the same level as The Bible & he strongly disagreed with that.
Hey, one of my friends is a Calvinist/Reformed Christian. He's such a theology nerd, haha. I liked your description of them as nerds who use big words.
as someone who was raised and identifies as a non-denominational Christian, I find this so interesting as I've never really got to think about the differences in denominations and just took people as Christian. Its nice to see where I stand on my beliefs on the spectrum too and understanding where other people come from
I had the same upbringing, and going to an OPC (Presbyterian) bible study has given me a lot more respect for other denominations. We may not agree on every theological topic, or every tradition, but we can discuss it respectfully, and understand that these issues are not primary. It is so obvious to me that we follow the same God, and all have his spirit working in our lives. Also seeing how they came to their beliefs through the scriptures has helped too, since it is a valid interpretation of the text.
Thank you for this video. As a Religious Education teacher, I often get asked what the difference is between the various Christian denominations. It is difficult to explain without getting my students lost in the theology of it all. This is very helpful!
The big question I have... is the faith that people practice today the same as the faith the original Apostles kept? As far as I can tell, they kept the Sabbath and Holy Days all with new emphasis on Christ. For instance, Passover was seen as not only the remembrance of the passing over of the Israelites by the death angel in Egypt, but also a yearly commemoration of his death and resurrection which allows us to also be born again (This do you in remembrance of me..."). What do easter bunnies, painted eggs and sunrise services (all of which seem pagan) have to do with Christ? We were told to commemorate his death, not his birth (as in christmas), because his DEATH and resurrection were the most important things to ever happen to the human race. The Feast of Tabernacles looks forward to Christ's return and 1000 year reign on Earth. Redressed pagan holidays seem to hold little meaning compared to the Holy Days the disciples would have kept. All I'm saying is that the "christianity" of today seems to hold very little in common with the first century church. Why is that?
@@privatear2001 Good questions! This is not true with orthodoxy. In eastern orthodoxy, the services that are preformed are the same services that have been preformed for over sixteen hundred years. In fact, the divine liturgy of Saint James brother of the lord is still regularly performed. Said service goes back literally to the apostle James, though this service is usually only done on his name day. Typical liturgies are of St John Chrysostom or of Saint Basil the great; the former a derivative of the latter though both are in modern usage worldwide. On the issue of why the sabbath, high holy days, and 'jewish' traditions being lost, that was intentional right at the very beginning of the church. This is explicitly stated by Paul in his epistles in the new testament that Jesus created a new covenant, not brought outsiders into the old one (an explicit no-no for jews). Thus people brought into Christianity from the beginning were creating something new, they did not need to be Jewish to be saved, nor were they needing to adopt jewish traditions. This in the first century, most likely directly from the apostles themselves had the sabboth move from Saturday to Sunday, as jesus was witnessed alive on Sunday, the first day of the week, and transform from a restrictive day of rest to a day of rest and worship, as the divine liturgy was commigrated weekly on that day. A tradition that has continued for two thousand years. It is known that Jews who converted often did keep some of their original traditions, and the pagans who converted brought in a few of their traditions as well. Eggs and bunnies have been the traditions of fertility since ancient times. Colored eggs (specifically red) have been used as a symbol of Christianity since its founding. The red eggs coming from the story of Saint Mary Magdalene preforming the miracle of having an egg change color to red in her hand in the presence of Emperor Tiberias as she preached the gospel. Thus red eggs are still a tradition in eastern orthodoxy. Egg decorating on Easter was done since at least medieval times, which is where additional colors came from. Later on these were changed from literal eggs to chocolate eggs as of the late 1600's at least in Germany, where the Osterhase AKA Easter hare, was said to lay them. How the Osterhase ended up in America is easy, he came with German settlers to Pennsylvania and spread throughout the US. The tradition of the Easter bunny has nothing to do with the church, but given the relative lack of church tradition with protestant denominations, has become part of Easter in America. The same can be said of christmas, santa claus, tooth fairy, ect... each of these made their way into the American lexicon from ideas brought in from abroad due to immigration of various groups and the beliefs being incorporated into American life. With some of the holidays like Christmas taking on new meanings again, due to the lack of church tradition in protestant denominations, picking up more importance than easter. Which as you have pointed out, is the incorrect way to think of it. Yes we should celebrate Jesus's birth, but we should celebrate his death more, as his death was key to the promise of eternal life for all who follow him. Now if we get to the meat of the question... why? Why has it changed so much in 2000 years for some and for others (like the orthodox) barely at all. Answer; disagreements over a timescale of 2000+ years. Starting from the little schism that separated off the Coptics from the rest of the church. to the great schism of 1054 which divided eastern and western world, to the protestant reformation and rejection of church tradition by the protestant denominations have lead to a fractured belief structure where nominally all are 'Christian' as in believe in the core tenants as proclaimed in the gospel, but are radically different. As an orthodox is pains me to look at many protestant denominations get so much about meanings of the bible wrong. Interpreting scripture incorrectly due to mostly translation issues and lost context of the scriptures original meanings from the source text. Also most protestant denominations have little to no context of original church scripture written by the apostles or the apostles apostles (second and third generations). The orthodox AND Catholic churches have a ton of these writings and they are used for the contexts of holy traditions. It would be like an American looking to the constitution and at making judgements on what its words mean without having the supporting documents such as the federalist papers, the magna carta, or english common law. It is no wonder then why protestant denominations with wildly incorrect or even heretical beliefs sprout up all claiming to be 'Christian'... is because the source of the information (the Bible) is just the start, not the only holy work of the religion.
@@Sindalis1 Well, all I can say is I see nothing in scripture anywhere where God authorized the changing of the Sabbath from the seventh day of the week to the first. The seventh day was set in stone from the creation onward as a rest day. It didn't just occur out of nowhere in the 10 commandments. God says He is the same now and forever. He does not change. What he considers sin does not change. Nobody had the authority to change the Sabbath from the seventh day to the first, not the pope, not Paul, not Peter, not Ceaser. And nowhere in the Bible does it speak of it, as far as I can tell. As for the Holy days, Zechariah 14:16 says "And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles." As far as I can tell, the Apostles and Christ all kept the Holy Days but the disciples would have kept them now looking forward to Christ's return "This do in remembrance of me..." He was taken on Passover night - an action directly hearkening back to the Passover lamb being slain for the sins of the Israelites in Egypt centuries before. Beautiful foreshadowing with rich meaning which I believe is lost on "easter sunday". Christ was already risen by the time Sunday morning rolled around according to the scripture. Probably the end of the Sabbath prior. The Feast of Tabernacles reminds us that our bodies are all "earthen tents" subject to decay until Christ returns and then we will be with him in his kingdom on earth. The Holy Days in scripture point towards a future time with richness and meaning. The "traditions of men" that have been handed down through the ages and that are the face of christianity today are totally irrelevant and devoid of meaning, from what I can see, just rules and regulations made by men. I see nothing resembling the first century church in what people call "christianity" today. Everything is just a copy and kept on what were old pagan holidays. Christ asked "What business has light with darkness?" And I have thought much about the parable of entering at the narrow gate. FEW there are who find it. But the majority go through the wide gate. That implies to me that many who think they are Christian today might not be actually practicing Christianity at all. And unfortunately, that may cost them dearly. That's what scripture implies to me. I hope I'm wrong about it, but that's what it implies.
I'm not a Christian but this is the video I needed! I like learning about other people's faith and I knew the other sects were different and I really appreciate how well you deconstructed and explained every different major sect succinctly😊 and yet with plenty of detail. Thank you very much!
Hell I was raised Roman catholic ( I'm now agnostic) and I didn't know many of these things especially about the other branches and I used to go to church school every Wednesday and Saturday Church school plus Sunday service. yet I was never taught half of if not most of this, especially the differences in the denominations. But honestly I feel they're all the same every religion basically believes the same thing yet with a twist. I also need to stop commenting when I'm high because i trailed off hard
And honestly all of them are BS. Jesus never ever said oh yes when im gone make up a bunch of rules and divide from one another. He said multiple times he is the ONLY way into heaven and gave us clear instructions on what to do and told us exactly how to be his friend. What do these denominations do? They cut his message off right at the knees and ignore the rest. Especially with the once saved always saved doctrine or the rapture doctrine both of which never appear in the bible at all. Heck we could talk about the catholics praying to mary...which we shouldnt do. We could talk about th statues of jesus and mary that catholics pray to. Which the bible says not to do (make no image of anything on earth in heaven or in the sea and WORSHIP it, jesus and mary are in heaven.....) The only thing that should matter to a christian is the doctrine of christ. Aka doing what he said to do and have a personal relationship with him.
@@Claire-cc6xy that type of passive aggressive statement is exactly what turns people away from truly wanting to find salvation. There’s nothing people hate more than being told there is only one way or the highway. Let them find their path and if they are truly meant to be saved, they will. It doesn’t matter if they do all “the necessary steps” to repent and be saved if it is not sincere and they don’t mean it from their heart and soul. God will see through all of that in the end anyway. They needs to feel as though they are welcomed when they are ready, not forcefully dragged into it
I grew up Catholic and my sister had a Presbyterian friend and she asked her what the difference was and she just said “idk we have more fun” and I always loved that answer 😂 but seriously it’s cool to get a basic understanding of all these!
@@rumblefish9 yes we do. Creationism is not official doctrine. The belief is that God is the creator. Exactly how he did it isn't important spiritually and doesn't mean it couldn't have been through the big bang etc. how it was done is not doctrine. Just that God is the creator. I'm confirmed, married to,a confirmed Catholic. The daughter of confirmed Catholics and the mother of w confirmed Catholics. I was educated in Catholic schools most of my life, and have helped teach and sponsored a few rcia candidates.
I'm baptist, and while nothing you said about baptists is wrong, I think it's worth mentioning that while we value the Bible's teachings heavily over the influence of the Church and its leaders, the regular meeting of the congregation and having strong spiritual leadership is still central to how we act on our belief in God. I appreciate the information on other denominations!
Bible was created by the Apostolic Teachings, meaning Bible was created by the teaching of Jesus Christ. The Church was founded before Bible was created.
@@matejaradivojevic3473and the church followed Paul and he redirected the church to what it is today. So yes they didn’t follow the Bible but the Bible (Paul’s letters) is what the church now follows including other books that changed the church as a whole
I try to take it all with "a grain of salt" as it's based off history way back to .. etc. I appreciate videos like yours because I'm not frustrated by rampant bias. Thank you for short and concise overviews which help me take it in without fighting off (my own fault and weakness) resentment. Nicely done.
I grew up in the Presbyterian church and was surprised at how accurate this video was! When you said "sovereignty" and "convenant" I was like "yeah, what of it," so it made me laugh when you said we use big theology words. 10/10, completely true.
Sitting at the back of the church got me, we are known for sitting at the back of the church, something kind of engrained in us. I see differences in the Presbyterian churches I go to but the 2 common denominators are the theology and filling the church from the back. Well that's the way it is here in Ireland anyway.
@@juliawirch2454 I don't know but every Presbyterian Church I've been to seem to fill from the back, always thought it had something to do with the parable of the rich righteous man at the front of the church and the poor sinner at the back of the church being humble. Or could just they don't want the minister to see them falling asleep during the sermon 😂
So gotta ask, when you say “church” do you mean a traditional style church? My Presbyterian “church” looks like a house. I was doing some research some years ago and found that Presbyterians go to worship houses vs church. I’ve started paying attention now and have noticed a lot of Presbyterians worship at a “house”, but have noticed others worship at a more traditional looking church. Wonder if there is a difference?
Presbyterian turned non-denom/Black Baptist and now I’m Catholic. This was all super fair and accurate !! I loved being able to learn and appreciate other denominations and Christian traditions and do still appreciate that pretty much all of us can agree on the Nicene Creed. Great video 🙌🏾
Catholics are the Whore of Babylon spoke of in Revelation 17. Catholicism isn't Christianity, not even close. It's Satanic wickedness and evil at it's core.Father God commanded to have no idols and that is all Catholicism is. Read revelation 17, it is Holy Roman and the Vatican they are speaking of.
The quote "In the essentials unity, in the non-essentials liberty, in all things charity." came to mind while watching this video. Thank you for your work.
Great quote. Attributed to everyone from St Augustine of Hippo to John Wesley and many theologians in between. But who cares- so true in so many areas of life !!
Thanks for the great video! As a Catholic I loved that you mentioned the Church’s contribution to science; there is still a pervasive misconception that we are anti-science. I also grew up going to various protestant (mostly Lutheran and Methodist, but also others) services with my Protestant father, so I got to experience some of the different flavors of Christianity. May we all be united in Christ someday!

Monks slowly translating Greek texts into Latin by hand were the sole reason any of Western antiquitys knowledge survived the Dark Ages. Thomas Aquinas essentially invented Scholasticism and thus universities, while secular humanism is itself an evolution from (or at least product of) Christian humanism. And that's from a non-denominational Christian who still believes that praying to anyone but God is idolatry. ;)
Your god didn’t even know that the Americas had civilization older than many places in the old world 🤣 th-cam.com/video/Vjg2HyFGaAo/w-d-xo.html Tell me how does an all knowing god not know other humans lived all over the Americas.
I chucked a little when you said "cause Catholics want an answer for everything". I grew up Catholic and almost everyone in my family is either a doctor, lawyer, or engineer. We grew up with research being the center of everything at Catholic school. 😆I still remember if you got an answer wrong on a test, the response from the nuns was always "why didn't you look that up!"
That's awesome. At least once a week, I thank God that I was raised Catholic for those very reasons. At the same time, however, the most Catholic part of me really wishes that I could have just found these things out totally on my own. 😂 On a somewhat related note, you should check out the Jibber-Jabber with Conan O'Brien where he interviews Jack White if you're a fan of either of them. They touch slightly on the topic.

Really, cause I got kicked out of church for asking questions lol. Like "if we have free will how are we following gods plan? You can't have both, either we have free will or we're following a plan." Priests and nuns hate questions like that
@@nono-ch8oy The freewill/determinism paradox exists with or without God, first of all. More importantly, the quality of foreknowledge doesn't imply any direct control over our actions. Whether or not God exists, scientific laws are based on determinism, and freewill exists under that paradigm as well. Either way, freewill is obviously "part of the plan." If priests and nuns hate questions like that, it's probably because they're so often asked (or, rather, regurgitated) in bad faith by petulant nitwits who don't even understand the terms and conditions of logic.

Here is what to believe to go to heaven, the true gospel ! "through faith in His blood"- Rom.3:25: Lord Jesus, I repent; I admit I'm a sinner and I'm sorry. Therefore, I do not trust in my own works to go to heaven because I realize, being a sinner, I cannot offer the perfect blood sacrifice that you require to pay for sin. Instead, I now fully trust, believing in my heart, that your finished work on the cross, your one perfect blood sacrifice, when you bled, suffered and died, in my place, paid for my sins in full, past, present and future. And I believe that you rose from the dead and that you are God Almighty, God the Son, alive for evermore !!! And so I fully trust that you will forgive me now by cleansing me from all sin in your precious blood, which purifies my soul. Thank you Lord Jesus for greatly loving me, for forgiving me, saving me from hell and giving me eternal life and sealing me with the Holy Spirit dwelling within me forever !!! Ephes.1:13, 4:30, Heb.10:10-14,19,38,39
This was probably one of the best quick breakdowns of what makes Catholics different from Protestants while still explaining both sides beliefs evenly without misinterpretations or “propoganda” against one another. Well done
Greek Orthodox here, thank you for this video. I can just fire off a link to this and have people understand without me trying to struggle with the mystery part. It's not as obscure as it sounds... it's ineffable and profound. As for traditions, it's big and small stuff, like holiday rites and not having any statues.
There's also a ton of threes in almost everything. Say something three times. Walk around the altar three times. Get blessed three times. That kind of thing.
@@arienesantos7891 I'm Antiochian Orthodox, and what I've been taught is that heaven and hell in the literal sense, like actual locations, are not our understanding. It's more that everyone is "in the same place," and depending on how you perceive God that's either a good experience for you or a bad one. To explain that, it's like a child in the presence of their parents. In the usual case, a young child's parents are their heroes, and they want nothing more than to play with them and have their attention. To this child, being in their parent's presence is heaven. On the other hand, if the child has done something wrong and feels guilty, or if they have a strained relationship with their parents, they will be constantly uncomfortable. This would be our philosophy's version of hell. Again, this is just my understanding, and the Orthodox church has room for a lot of different beliefs - that's one of the ways it's been around for so long!
@@arienesantos7891 I`m Bulgarian Orthodox so I can`t speak for the others but I can tell you how I`ve learned it. Basically We reject philosophy. God is things that are inherently good and the highest good and if you need to "philosophize" about why something is good then it`s not the highest good. So God is things like love, justice, truth and beauty. Not an act or an example of it but the thing itself. And we have this thing called symbolism. Symbolism is basically telling stories in a different way that contain the same meaning and the way we know that meaning is true is if it`s universal. We also rely on the accumulated filtered wisdom of the Bible, church and saints to guide us. So in a certain way the Bible is less a book of rules and commands and more like an instruction manual of how to avoid bad shit from happening but you still have personal responsibility to make your own choices. If you make the correct choices you achieve "theosis" which is becoming one with God and that`s how you are saved in this world.
@@sophieburt9191 I agree with you but I learned it a little different. Basically in the afterlife we all in the same place but people that are worthy of heaven see the eternal light which is God while people that did bad things just turn around and never see the Light which would fulfill the souls "desire", the demons are actually the ones who get tortured in a lake of acid and high temperature. Also the difference between the Orthodox church and the Catholic is that in the Orthodox all of the members vote wether a change should be implemented or not regardless if you are the Patriarch , while the Pope in the Catholic church does whatever changes he likes and the other members of the church are there to just give the impression that it was done with the will of all the church members, basically Orthodoxy is in balance between tradition and the Church being the one who implements the changes it needs with collective thinking while Catholicism favours the church more (ex there is no mention of purgatory in the Bible or in any of the apostoles letters). Lastly forgiveness is achieved by the person actually being sorry for his mistakes because it's the part of theosis , also the people who achieved theosis are the closest to God. Note the Trinity thing was implemented to counter a heretic movement in Spain which stated that the Holly spirit isn't as important as the Father or the Son , also Catholicism was born due to the fact that the Pope was drunk by power and thought he was above every other member of the church, later on it became for political power. Fun fact: Orthodoxy (Eastern and the other) are placed second in the world about the amount of members it has, first being the Catholic church having more members due to south America.
As an Orthodox Christian from America, I enjoyed this video. What I like most about Orthodoxy is fasting during the entire Lent (not just on Fridays) as I believe the most important holiday is Easter. We take so much for granted so it’s good to pause and be thankful for everything that we have. Also, besides forgiveness, I feel that the main theme in Christianity is that life is supposed to be hard and that we are all on a journey, just like Christ was when he carried the cross that he died on for us.
I am not an Orthodox Christian, but I also practice Lent the entire time as well (considering that Lent is representing and is symbolic of one's own suffering)
One thing that I find Christians lack is the understanding of fellow Christians. From a young age we are just taught "oh they're different", but never taught *how* different. Learning the similarities and difference are imperative in reducing the rifts between us. Thank you for this unbiased and almost scientific comparison of the major Christian sects.
I agree with you good sir, more people should think like that
Most reformed denominations have their own schools and are taught church history.
Taking this a step further I was taught that Catholics and orthodoxies aren’t even Christian
@@ggchcvccfssfftuksersj7396I was also taught that catholics weren't true Christians, and I never heard of the Orthodox church until I was in high school and found Orthodox monks chanting in a TH-cam video.
Yes I so agree. my grandmother studies in an online bible college and sometimes I listen in on her lessons because I also learn a thing or two. One time, I heard in her lessons that we shouldn’t be too legalistic or dogmatic, and we shouldn’t say things like “oh that person is not a real christian, they will go to hell” because they are in a different denomination. that is not for us to decide and we shouldn’t judge a fellow christian’s faith just because they happen to go to a different church
I’m Muslim but found this really fascinating may God bless my Christian brothers and sisters ❤

Bless you too and Jesus loves you!
Catholic here. I liked your summary of all of the denominations. It was honest but fair. I pray for all my brothers sisters in Christ, Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant
Catholicism isn't denomination my brother. It is THE Christianity. Others are just false versions.
We must not be harsh on others nor judge one another. No matter your religion, God has a plan for you. Christ is love. Love yourself to love others. If you don’t love others, you do not love your self. Protestants spend a lot of time looking down on others, as Catholics we literally mean “in Union” so let us unite not cast differences. For the small bickering only leads others to sin and not to the Lord. Forgive others, and you will be able to forgive yourself.
@@snokehusk223 don’t you guys pray to the virgin Mary? You incorporate things that aren’t in the Bible. There are 2 religions, gods word and man’s word. You’re following gods word with man’s word sprinkled in which ultimately makes it man’s word.

as a 16yr old southern baptist teen who annoys the heck out of her youth pastor asking the differences between denominations, i found this very intriguing and informative
As a 16 years old Brazilian Presbyterian teen who also annoys the heck out of his youth pastor about the differences between the denominations, I couldn't agree more
our pastor this Sunday spoke about how the Church should be a place to ask questions, even doubts, about faith. I doubt you annoy your youth pastor. Keep seeking sister! God Bless you.
I just recently learned the difference between southern Baptist and Baptist. Very interesting also.
The reason there are differences is because, people lie. They all do.
You are young. Get out the south and see the world as it is. Christ will join you as he always does.
As a Catholic, I appreciated your point on prayer. We don't pray to Mary/the saints to worship them, we are just asking them to pray for us. This is a common misconception among non-Catholics, and I was honestly surprised when you mentioned it. Great video, unbiased and informative!
Agreed, even though I am no longer Catholic I told all my Protestant friends this is not a church teaching.
Why would we ask Mary to pray to God for us, when the Bible clearly states that we are to pray directly to Him, and that our prayers will be heard? All are equal before the Lord.
@@kevincrosby1760 Yes all are equal in His sight, but wouldn't you agree there's power in others praying for us? Why ask anyone at all to pray for us? The Bible does tell us to pray for one another - James 5:16 - so if there is power in the prayers of the righteous, how much more powerful will the prayers of Christ's mother be?
@@michael_jt The prayers of Mary should be no more powerful than those of your sister or next door neighbor.
@@kevincrosby1760 Even if they are equal, then why would you have a problem with it in the first place?
I've always been somewhat embarrassed by how little I knew about the major denominations. This is the best 12-min class I ever had.
Truly human & truly God, born of Virgin Mary, died for our sins, rose from the dead, ascended & will return, etc., are all stories made up for the fools.
@@AtamMardesWhat makes you say this?
@@danielsparham Please answer this simple question honestly. *FACT:* Theists thank God (especially on thanksgiving) for giving life to them & also for giving life to animals for them to take their lives & eat them. *SIMPLE QUESTION:* Are you unable to see how theologians have tricked the theists to believe in an imaginary God by fooling them to arrogantly ignoring their hypocrisy & narcissism??
@@AtamMardes When Christianity was founded, nobody tricked them into converting. If you converted in the ancient Roman world, you were tortured and killed. The people that converted truly believed in Christ and was willing to die for him. If you use basic logic and critically analyze the world then God is the only logical explanation.
@@danielsparham
I am not denying that everyone wants there to be a God. I am saying there is no evidence for your God or any other.
I really enjoyed this video! I'm a Hindu and not Christian, but I appreciated learning about the different denominations as it's something I've always wondered about. Great Work!
I recommend the channel Bible animations to you start with the story of Satan and God.
As a Baptist, there's this one thing our pastor told us back then that still resonates with me, it's not the church that saves, it's Jesus that saves
To Catholics, they are one and the same.
(1 Timothy 3:15)
you've broken a whole denomination
@@LRTrack so does that mean Christ's marriage to the church is invalid?
@@AE-wv8jd It is mostly a metaphor, not fully literal. Jesus is the root of the body of the church. How can Jesus be married to himself? The imagery comes from the covenant between the 12 tribes of Israel (the "bride") and God. This imagery is repeated in the Christian church and taken a little too literally by priests and nuns in the Catholic church.
God bless you fr 🙏🏾❤️

@@TheBlueMarbleNationalist Great minds think alike!
Baptist don't kowtow to the woke mob.
@@derp8575 You mean orthodox?
Of course, Christianity should be about you.
As a Catholic, this was actually really good. It's rare to find something that actually spreads truth about the Catholic Church. Most people just freak out saying we worship Mary and pay priests to get us into heaven, and you can never have a real conversation with them.
Indeed.
You do pray to Mary and make graven images which are displayed prominently in the Church, so you can surely understand their confusion, right? And I'm saying this with no condemnation: Jesus knows how to sort this all out, which is why I don't need to worry about passing such judgment. As far as I'm concerned, if Jesus is cool with whatever you do and believe, you're in good company.
@@DigitalsapienStop speaking on things that you clearly lack understanding of.
@@BRENNANISCATHOLIC No lack of understanding on my part. I understand that the Catholic Bible doesn't have the correct 10 commandments. This is not my opinion. It is an absolute unequivocal fact. In fact, I'd say I understand it better than you for sure.
@@Digitalsapien 1. Exodus 20:4 is part of the first commandment that begins in verse 3 and stretches through part of verse five:
You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them.
Verses 3 and 5 make clear that this commandment is not simply condemning making statues; It is condemning making gods that you bow down to or serve. In a word, this first commandment forbids idolatry, i.e., the worship of anything or anyone other than God. The Catholic Church condemns this as well.
2. By lifting out part of the first commandment appearing to prohibit the making of “any likeness of anything,” not only do you have God contradicting himself in later commanding the making of statues, but you also end up making the first two commandments repetitive. They are both essentially condemning idolatry.
3. Though the commandments are said to be “ten” in Exodus 34:28, they are not numbered by the inspired authors of Sacred Scripture. If you count the “you shall nots” along with the two positive commandments of keeping holy the Sabbath and honoring father and mother, you end up with 13 commandments. So the actual numbering of the commandments depends upon which “you shall nots” you lump together as one commandment and which ones you separate. And in the end, which “you shall nots” you lump together depends upon your theology.
4. We believe the Catholic Church alone has the authority to give to God’s people an authoritative list of the Ten Commandments. And the Catechism of the Catholic Church does exactly that. At least, it gives us a list as a sure norm for us.
5. The problem with creating a second “commandment” where there actually is not one really comes to the fore at the bottom of the list. The common Protestant listing of the Ten Commandments combines coveting your neighbor’s wife, the Catholic ninth commandment, with coveting your neighbor’s property, the Catholic tenth commandment. And really it just can’t be any other way because you run out of room. I can’t imagine many women being happy with being equated to property!
Some may argue at this point: “Well, that is what the Old Testament teaches. We’re just going with what the inspired author teaches.” Are you really? Let’s take a look. Now, it is true that Exodus 20’s version of the 10 commandments appears to place both women and servants in the place of property.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.
I say it seems because Genesis 1:26-27 does reveal God himself to have said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness… So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” There is an essential equality between male and female revealed even in the Old Testament, though this revelation is not as clear and unambiguous as what we have in the New Testament. Exodus 20 certainly does anything but add to the clarity of the point.
When I say the revelation of this essential equality is not as clear in the Old Testament, we need to understand why this is so. The Old Testament consists of 46 books written over a period of ca. 1500 years, representing a progressive revelation. Hebrews 1:1-2 says, “In many and various ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets.” The Greek word for “many ways” is polumeros, which means “in many portions;” God gave his revelation in piecemeal fashion over the centuries, taking an ancient people right where they were and gradually beginning to reveal more and more truth as they were able to receive it and as he gradually gave them more and more grace to be able to receive it, all the while respecting their freedom. “But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son…” (Galatians 4:4) to communicate the fullness of the revelation God willed for his people.
For example, the divorce God permitted in Deut. 24:1-4, he later says “[he] hates” in Malachi 2:16. And when Jesus elevated marriage to the level of sacrament eliminating divorce and remarriage absolutely in Matt. 19:5-6, he explained that this allowance by God through Moses was never intended from the very beginning citing Genesis 2:24, “the two shall become one flesh.” God permitted things early that he would not have ever willed in an antecedent sense as he helped his people to grow much like a parent does not treat a four year-old the same as he would treat a fourteen year-old.
In a similar way, though God revealed the essential equality of man and woman very early in salvation history (Gen. 1:26-27), this revelation was given by God to an ancient people who did not have the same understanding of the essential equality of man and woman we so often take for granted given the fullness of revelation we have enjoyed in the New Covenant for 2,000 years. God did not expect his people to change immediately, nor did he give them the fullness of the revelation that we have in Christ all at once; rather, he helped them along as we’ve said. In fact, we can see this development of understanding even in the Old Testament itself. We cited the earlier version of the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20, but notice the change by the time God gave his people Deuteronomy:
Neither shall you covet your neighbor’s wife; and you shall not desire your neighbor’s house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox. Or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.
The inspired author of Deuteronomy now makes the distinction between wife and property sharper by using two different Hebrew words for “covet” and “desire” and by only using the word “covet” with regard to the wife. The two separate commandments now become undeniable.
Brilliant job! I've tried to understand this for 50 years and NO ONE has ever done a better job than you. Thank you.

What's strawmanning
@@thomasfleming8169 strawman is a kind of logical fallacy / false argument in which a thing is portrayed in a way that presents it as worse off/weaker than it is in reality. It means using words that are related to the subject to some extent but swing either too far, to incite a negative association with a bad thing or too little to avoid a positive association with a good thing.
@@vassalofthenight9945 can you give me an example of it

As an Armenian Orthodox, I want to thank you for talking about Oriental Orthodox Church! We are almost never talked about, but it is always nice to hear outsiders talk about the small group of people, for whom church isn’t only religion, but a part of history as well! Many thanks!
Could you explain to me more about the Oriental Orthodox Church?
I visited a few Armenian churches in Armenia a few weeks ago. Pretty interesting.
Armenia, first country to have Christianity as state religion! 🙏🏻⛪️
Hello Armenian! I love Armenia so much! Continue to defend against your horrible neighbors 🇦🇲❤️
@@-_Confessor-_of course! We are the oldest Churches in the world! We profess the Miaphysite Christology which is that Jesus is fully divine and fully human in 1 United Nature without confusion, mingling, or seperation.
The Oriental Orthodox Churches are made of 6 Churches. The Coptic, Armenian, Syriac, Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Malankara Orthodox Churches.
Church of Christ here! We definitely believe all those essentials. Wondering what research you did and what you found that made you doubt that?
Omg I was looking for someone else to comment something about this bc I was so worried😭
Since they don’t hold to creeds or confessions, he thinks it’s unclear. He did a video about it I think.
I am an Eastern Orthodox and besides the fact that you described my religion ACCURATELY, I am so happy that I learn so fast and easily for the other Christian denominations as well! Thanks for the video, it was really perfect😇🤗
Listen his accent, he knows about Protestants and Roman catholics cause his country is full of them but this poor boy doesn´t know NOTHING about Eastern Orthodoxy , the ancient faith ☦ cause we are mainly in Eastern Europe and the Middle East the place were Christianity started not in those western countries were atheist and satanic laws are aprobed every week by their anti chirstian lawmakers.

Who who believe? Jesus (the Son of God) or Muhammad (a sinful man that literally wrote a hate book)?
I had religion for 6 years in school and this video gave me more information than the entirety of those 6 years
yeah, I can relate with that.
I was raised Christian, tho in a low-church environment.
we did group activities, had 1 hour per week at school where a nun would teach us Christian stuff.
and later on when it became an optional school topic I continued to participate tho by then we were instructed about all religions by a theologist, it was basically a religion-focused version of history classes.
all I remember from the nun lessons is the stories with Noah arch and stuff like that, but we never learned about how the church even worked or why it was important, to me it always seemed like yet another group activity, so I ended up becoming atheist (tho technically Christian I guess, since I did the official ceremonies).
Because the whole point of religion in school is to indoctrinate you into their cult.

Typical brainwashed christianity “He fell down with his face to the ground and prayed, saying: My Father” (Matthew 26:39) Jesus said: “While he was living on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to him who would save him from death, and he was heard because of his respectful obedience.” (Hebrews 5:7) Your Jesus prayed like a Muslim; So who did God pray to? John 20:17 "Jesus said to him, Touch me not; for I have not yet ascended to my Father; go up to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father, and to your Father, and to my God, and to your God, and to your God." Are you confused (:? Check out this channel (Towards Eternity)
it's not deep here I'll sum it up you're all in a crazy cult looking like ancient greece but you guys hate on women more
The image you used to represent the church of Christ is actually the image of the Desciples of Christ, a progressive denomination popular in the central United States. They definitely agree with the essentials and have nothing in common with the other three “on the fence” denominations you listed. Great video though!
My C of C experience was very much like Baptist with the exceptions being a total no-go on instrumental music in the church and zero tolerance for anything they refer to as "pleasures of the flesh". You can get into bug trouble up to even being "dis fellowed" which is kicked out so by their rationale you are doomed because C of C is the only ture religion and eternal torment awaits anyone not directly in fellowship with that denomination. And they mean it. Hell will be seriously crowded, and heaven will have only a few souls in it.
To all my Christians out there, remember why we are Christians, let us unite over our common beliefs and not let our differences break us apart
Amen
Amen bro
God wants us to be one body. The Body of Christ. He is the Head of the church.
@@julienielsen3746 All who calls themselves Christians are not in the Body of Christ, His Church.

But I was never baptized physically I was in the spirit though. I'm definitely on the renegade side of the faith 😂 but I guess that was God's plan for me, to be free and serve him as I walk.

As a Catholic I’m glad you got the prayers to saints thing correct because many people think that we pray to saints like we to with God, but it’s more of asking for help with something
You can always ask God for help!😫 you don’t need to pray to dead people to pray for you
@@bri-gt7hnwe know that, we pray to the saints just because they are like an example to us. An example of how we can live our lives. Many of these saints became martyrs, we do not worship them, we ask for help and see their example of faith.

I’m an atheist but I’m interested in learning about religion. I absolutely love your channel because you provide academic explanations without trying to convert anyone. I commend your work. Maybe we wouldn’t agree on certain things but I respect you and love your videos
As a Muslim from Muslim-majority country, I found this video very informative. In my country, people will dismiss you immediately (since mostly think this topic is super taboo) or give you a highly-biased information about Christianity. I never had any intention to convert, but by learning some basic intros of another religions, I hope we as human being can respect on each other perspectives. It will helps to ensure peace among each other by avoiding conflict based on dumb, baseless prejudices IMO
Assalamu alaikum brother! As a Baptist Christian myself, it is so refreshing and heart warming to know there are people of other faiths that just want to understand and praise His name with our fellow brothers and sisters. Allah deserves all the praise!
God Bless you! ❤
Doesn't the Quran say in Surah 9-30 "the Christians and the Jews, how deluded are their minds, may Allah destroy them"? Why don't all muslims go out and kill Christians and Jews?
I’m not religious so I don’t understand the blind hate toward others but I do believe if we listen we can understand each other better. We don’t have to agree, it’s okay, but we should respect each other.
I am a Christian and I liked what you said. 👋👍😊
My only complaint about this video is that it isn’t longer. Thank you for this very informative piece.
The whole point was to condense it though. And I don't know how many people have done better than this rendition.
It's not informative. This video is extremely inaccurate and one of the most biased lessons on denominations I have ever heard in my life.
I coulda used more jokes to illustrate the substantive points. I learn best via chuckles.
;-)
I think it was nice to see literally just what the fundamental differences were between denominations. In depth analyses can follow but I think simplicity was key
@ℓυкє ѕηу∂єя You guys are just as christian, this due is incredibly biased.
I was raised in the Church of Christ denomination in Texas. No music, calm preachers, everyone dresses up (apparently I disrespected God because I wore a hat inside the building once, and a t-shirt another time). They also sung mostly in monotone. One time I was caught tapping my foot during a song and was told that was a sin. I literally saw my church split over the use of music. There was a Sunday when a group of deacons stepped forward to resign and announce they were starting a new church with the only difference being it would play music. Half the congregation left with them.
The youth minister took my youth group to a youth retreat an hour away over the weekend one time. We didn't know until we got there it was hosted by a baptist church. When we got back home, the youth minister got in trouble with the leadership and parents for "PUTTING THE SOULS OF OUR CHILDREN IN DANGER!!!". Because Church of Christ is the ONLY way to go to Heaven. Luckily, he wasn't let go. He was awesome and actually had an Xbox in the youth room and he'd invite high schoolers over to the church on Saturdays for Halo tournaments. The leadership was cool with this because it was one way to get kids to start coming to church. It worked, too. Youth attendance went up.
In 2014, when I was 26, I moved to Ohio and started going to a baptist church because I couldn't find a Church of Christ near me. The first few weeks at the baptist church was uncomfortable. I mean, they played...music!! Can you imagine!? It was an acoustic guitar and piano! The horror!! But eventually I got comfortable and realised that the Church of Christ hadn't covered so much stuff. I'd tried asking questions at the church when I was younger and was told to stop asking questions. The baptist church I started attending not only welcomed questions, they encouraged it. We would have deep dives into scripture and I would learn so much. That's when my faith started to grow.
In 2021, I moved to San Francisco. My bestfriend attended a pentecostal church. Again, I was uncomfortable with this, but I wanted to go to the same church as my bestfriend. Turns out, they're not a bunch of theatrical weirdos. They are the most essentric congregation I've ever been a part of, with a full band on stage and members dancing openly. Like with the baptist church, I eventually got comfortable here.
Almost two years later, I realise now after so much more studying that your denomination doesn't really matter. The three different churches I've been a member of throughout my life do things so wildly different from each other, but that doesn't mean that any of them are wrong. They all believe the same core things, that Jesus is the Son of God, He died for our sins and rose again. That's really the only thing that matters. Not labels or music or any of the countless reasons Christians fight about.
I was also raised Church of Christ. Your first paragraph had me in stitches! When I went away to school, my mother called every week to see if I had found a good Church of Christ. I now consider myself agnostic. Thanks for sharing.
This writing fills my heart with so much joy. How I long for a unity of all the followers of Christ!
I grew up in a Pentecostal church where the Sunday services are always very expressive and filled with energetic music. And that's how I feel very comfortable worshipping God.
Then I moved to a Lutheran church in a small village in another province, was surprised but learnt how to blend in but one day when I was in 4th grade, I was "accused" as a Catholic (lol) by the pastor because of the way I prayed. I still don't know the reason to this day, but the way he judged me felt like he and everyone had a certain grudge towards the Catholics. Meanwhile I went to a Catholic school and I enjoyed learning about Catholicism and their traditions.
Then I became a teen and moved away, attended Pentecostal church again, my family and I ready for our baptism. My aunt who was Lutheran CRIED so badly thinking we are going to be forever lost in a wrong faith.
I seriously don't understand the fear and hatred against each other. Aren't we all Christians? We all follow Jesus. As long as you follow Him, then you are a brother/sister no matter how you do it. I will always introduce myself as a Christian, not a Pentecost or a Lutheran or whatever, because what matters is Him, and not our worldly identity.
I grew up in Ohio and had friends who went to Church of Christ. Kind wish he had covered the last eight on his list ... maybe on another video.
Very interesting. The most important thing is that you reminded faithful to God and maintained your relationship with him. Didn't your first church read in Scripture that we are to make a joyful noise unto the Lord? Don't they know David played a soothing harp? I've visited different congregations in my country, Pentecostal, Baptist, Independent Baptist, etc and they all played music. I think the Bereans (I've been) don't.
@@priciliar.s.simarmata2373 Exactly!! Check out what Paul said:
I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose.
1 Corinthians 1:10 NLT
Also, Romans 14:1-11 basically talks about not arguing with other Christians about the way they choose to practice.
Your video has helped me now and in the past. I was very disconnected with my denomination and religion as a whole. I grew up catholic and was only in it by me saying i was "loosly catholic." I have since started praying the rosary and going to church and have decided to become catholic again. I debated if i wanted to be othodox, catholic, or some form of protestant. The one that felt right in my conscience and speaking to me or "calling" was to go back to my roots.
I was pleasantly shocked how accurate the majority of this video was. Normally I cringe watching people summarize belief systems, because most people suck at it. This was actually pretty solid and shows you've got at minimum a decent understanding and at most a pretty thorough understanding of each of these. Well done. Might use this to explain some differences to my youth group.
I agree with you… I was prepared to cringe, but that was pretty decent.
yes the key was the majority.. anything over 50% accurate is a majority... If it was as full of errors in other religions as it was in regards to Baptists.. I think it may be lucky to be 60% accurate,,..

Catholics are offended by anyone thinking anything one can do will get them into heaven... my mother had a priest tell her even after reading 1 John 5:13.. that belief in going to heaven was a sin..
also in regards to the Church of Christ.. who doesn't know what they believe?.. there are enough sites out there to clearly let someone know these are heretics.. I cannot see my self attending a church...... preaching things that Me and a Church of Christ follower.. as well as a Mormon and Catholic that can all agree to...either I will be offended... or will walk out after service feeling that God was not speaking to me..
Agnostic here. Always wondered what the difference was, but whenever I asked my late church elders, they never could say the differences other than "WE are the TRUE one", so thank you, this was really informative!
Churches do NOT like to be questioned. It disrupts the mind-control.
Hey bro God exist
@@lucasrio9228prove it lol
I was atheist and having really bad anxiety and panic attacks. I called my old friend who is hardcore Christian and he asked how my relationship with God was. I thought it was silly, he said don't just pray tonight, pour your heart out to God. So I did it that night. I poured my heart out to God. I didn't want to make it about myself so I prayed for my other friend who is a bad alcoholic. About 30 minutes after I was done praying, at 2 a.m., that very friend called me up crying and his first words were "dude, I think I need to find God". I've been friends with him over 20 years, seen him rip up Bibles, and he's never spoke those words to me until 30 minutes after I prayed for him.
@@lucasrio9228 nuh uh!

Well, he put "Church of Christ" as on the fence as being Christian.

And his comment about liberal churches... he's definitely got an axe to grind and isn't unbiased.
Edit: Ah, he means Disciples of Christ, given the symbol. Not Churches of Christ. In a video supposed to make denominations easier to understand, no less. Ugh.

As a Christian Orthodox, I must say that many of the things you said about the Catholic Church refer to the Orthodox as well. And there isn’t much of “mystery”, there just is an understanding that we cannot truly comprehend everything about God. Other than that, great video!!

Think about this, do you believe that you could travel around the multiverse and find a cell phone that was formed by pure chance sitting on a planet somewhere in the remote corner of a galaxy that was powered up and ready to be used? If not, how do you think that something more complex like a living cell or organism could be formed out of nothing? Much less a whole ecosystem that would be needed to sustain that organism that would be present all at once?

Same here, I had that conversation many times. Lutherans aren't alone with the traditional understanding of the Lord's Supper. I feel bad for churches that teach its only symbolic. They are missing such amazing gifts!
@Jason Smith actually the Last Supper wasn't a Passover Seder:
The majority of scholars of the Last Supper do not believe that it was a Passover meal, a position consistent with the account given by the Gospel of Saint John. A minority believe that it was a seder or Passover meal, a position consistent with the Synoptic gospels. However, as Enrico Mazza has argued, the minority view "remains a theological interpretation. The historical fact is that the Last Supper was not a Passover celebration and, consequently, that its liturgy was not that of the Jewish Passover" (The Celebration of the Eucharist: The Origin of the Rite and the Development of Its Interpretation [Collegeville, MN: Liturgical Press, 1999] pp. 25-26).
It means the same for Catholics as well.
Wow I was raised as a Catholic, married in the Methodist church, did missionary work through the Presbyterian Church, was part of a Pentecostal group and many non denominational churches over the years.

Jesus is God's prophet and messenger. Jesus worships God Almighty and does not associate anyone with Him. Why don't you worship God?
Why do you worship someone like you?
Why do you worship stones, trees, cows, idols, the sun, the moon, and the devil?
It only takes a little thought and not to be arrogant and say: This is the religion of my ancestors. The test of your ancestors has ended and the time of testing ends at death.
So what did you do on your test paper?
(Think and look) at God’s great creation and you will know the truth, so worship God alone and do not associate anyone with Him
My father -- a former minister and occasional preacher -- told me there is one church, of which there are many confessions, divided into a multitude of congregations.
@@0SSM What you are missing, is that Jesus IS Creator God and one with the Father! Jesus took on human form in order to die, taking the punishment for our sin so that we could have eternal life with God. Because Jesus perfectly and completely paid for all sin, the Father raised him from death, and Jesus now reigns over all. If Jesus were only one more prophet/messenger, there would be no message to bring, and no escape from our sin and eternal death. It is ONLY through Jesus the Christ that we can have forgiveness from our sin. I do not worship "someone like me" - I worship Creator God, the Holy Trinity working together to plan and speak the universe into existence, to make the creation, and to give life to all living creatures.
The Prophet Jesus is only a human being. You are the ones who said that He is the Son of God and that He is the third of the three and in Him is the Father. Unfortunately, things are neither logical nor rational.
God Almighty is above the seventh heaven above the throne. This is his place. Glory be to God Almighty. The difference between you and me is that you worship a human being who has a father, a son, and a god inside him, and this is wrong. Worship God alone, with no partner, living and never dying, great and wise, so worship God and do not associate anyone with Him. Jesus is only a sent prophet, and his message is: There is no god but God, so worship Him. .

Oriental Orthodox are technically different from Eastern Orthodox because they rejected the Council of Chalcedon. Lately their Theology has fallen into step with Chalcedon, yet they reject it as a matter of tradition mostly (despite practically agreeing with it entirely).

Catholics are the Whore of Babylon spoke of in Revelation 17. Catholicism isn't Christianity, not even close. It's Satanic wickedness and evil at it's core.Father God commanded to have no idols and that is all Catholicism is. Read revelation 17, it is Holy Roman and the Vatican they are speaking of.

@@skidz2046 and pass the ammunition!
I am a traditional Roman Catholic and my mom grew up baptist. she converted to the Catholic faith because she said it was eye-opening to her and there were answeres for everything she had wondered in the past. this is one of the very few places I feel comfortable talking about this because of how unpopular it is
Mine is the opposite, I was raised Roman Catholic by my dads family bc my mom wasn't religious, but then she found Jesus and now she thinks everything ab Catholicism is wrong 😂
@sepulvedablvd7846 The opposite actually. Unlike modern people, people of the past believed that the world was declining instead of advancing, so the further back you went, the wiser and more intelligent people were. So, how do you reconcile the fact that people were simultaneously wrong but more intelligent (they were wrong because they believed in several gods, but they were right about the observations that they made about the world about them)?
The answer simply, they didn't have the bible, so they couldn't make the right conclusions! So, all of the stuff about Roman gods was in a way right, they just had to reinterpret them in a Christian way. So all of the "recycled" concept and stuff you see in Christianity (there's a lot of Egyptian stuff too), is, in fact, on purpose, not a "gotcha!" as people seem to believe, like you do.

@@devildante9 it was to baptize old religious practices and art of a culture to make it adaptable by the people they sought to bring in , like the christmas tree vs the oak of thor among the germanic peoples, or dates of celebrations that are moveable, or bits like the egg to help symbolize resurection and rebirth, and penticost also in continuing the jewish practice of the first fruits but instead of physical farm grains and fruits its the first fruits of the spirit of God and the first mass spread and great commissioning where people started by the Power of the Holy Ghost speaking differant languages of differant nations to carry the message to them in a way they could understand, it was also what sent the power of God and Jesus to the 12 and the deciples to carry out their mission in otherwords what gave it power, which is why Jesus acended so the Paraclet could come, His Holy Ghost, Penticost is also the birth of the church really, and you have the practice of prayer 7 times a day at differant hours just like the jewish priests in the temple would have done at differant hours that is a carry though from the jewish to the new group of Christians that were catholic, protestents protested us and broke from us, the orthadox and far east orthadox are still what are called apostolic churches meaning being able to trace roots back to the 12 of Jesus that went out after penticost to make deciples of all nations, saddly this fact was forgotten over the centuries as things evolved like the preservation of coptic the language of the eygptions before islam invaded and took over the nations when it spread, it was called the spoken language of hiroglypics or its modern version till 7th century roughly, or the forgoten fact that in india is the group of christians that are the syro malabar rite since apostalic times but the largest body in europe forgot this fact till they started seeing them when exploration happened and they made it that far east trading and colonizing, as bad as it might have been in its treatment many times and the evangelization that happened with it, it also brought exchange of ideas weath and abillity to share a more common language of trade, or stoping human sacrafice where it was found.
many did wrong in the name of a church but it also brought great hope to many that were downtrodden and spread a real truth and brought learning and compassion from those that were truely faithful, and a repository of knowlege over time in the privet libraries like the monestaries and the vatican secret library, which is ment to say its the privet library of the pope and contains many historical documents preserved and corraspondance with world leaders the holy see had, its not ment to be soo much hidden away as it is a privet library like the library of congress or the newbury in chicago and they do allow some limited outside research but still have stuff that needs curated and catalougued that they dont even know they have.
Understanding of the Bible comes through the holy spirit in study of the Bible. The most important thing to remember is that chirst is our salvation, any and all other differences in belief are small issues "arguing about how the hinges work on the door, not about which door is the right one". Study the Bible with the holy spirit as your companion, not with preconceived information given by fallible man is all I can say to help people

As someone who was raised in more of a Baptist/Non-denominational setting, it means a lot to be taught these distinctions. I never understood why they are segregated and what they believe, as well as my spirituality being much more serious now and wanting to go back to church but not knowing what truly fit for me in the physical location around me. It helps me understand, therefore respect these different beliefs a lot more.

A so called non denominational is still a denomination. Please read my other comment.
As someone who spent a lot of their childhood in a strict baptist church and moved into non-denomination, it's actually fascinating to look at non-denominational churches and realize 'Oh it's just baptist, but not advertised as such'. Very well explained as well, kudos to you
I went from a non-denominational church to attending a Baptist Church, and there really wasn't much of a difference, it's been more of a difference with the pastor.
My dad went to a non denominational church and it really had the feel of a Pentecostal church
The beliefs are largely the same. It is mainly not wanting to be tied to a formal denomination.
As a Catholic from India who relocated first to the US and then to Netherlands in the last 5 years, I was shocked by the number of different types of churches i found everywhere. I was totally was waiting to see a helpful video like this! Thank you.
The Catholic Church is pre-denominational. There is only one Church (includes all Catholic - Eastern Catholic (not Eastern Orthodoxy) , Syro Malabar, established in India by Apostle, St Thomas , etc) outside of which are the numerous Christian. denominations / ecclesial communities.
@@finallythere100 no its not. orthodoxy literally means "right worship"
the Catholic church is the result of the great schism. the arguments in said schism were almost all won by the Orthodox. for instance, icons of the Theotokos and saints, not just Christ.
America is even more so. We were first founded by a lot of dissenters escaping persecution as outliers. Lol!.
The Catholic church in the late second century committed apostasy John warned of and the catholic adopted the outright pagan trinity teaching and also the pagan immortal soul teaching. Learn what the Judeo-Christian beliefs were. Reject the pagan trinity teaching as did Sir Isaac Newton and many others who searched/search for the Truth written plainly in the Bible. Use The Divine Name of God as Jesus taught to Firstly pray for The Sanctification of God's Name. God's Name is The Tetragrammaton and it is Replaced by pagan apostate trinitarians as all capital letters GOD or LORD in their Bible translations. Almost 7,000 times is YHWH written in the Judeo-Christian Bible. Every time those Hebrew verses with YHWH in them were read aloud in the first century or copied down in the first century writings the Name of the One True God would have Rightly been pronounced. Reject the apostate pagan trinity and Glorify God in the heavens and His Firstborn Son Jesus Christ. Yes give them Each their PROPER recognition. Reject the apostate pagan trinity and search out the Truth. No one comes to the Father except through Jesus Christ. Where's the trinity in that statement tWinity maybe lol.

Although all of my close family are Christian, they're all different denominations. My dad and boyfriend are Baptist, my mom is Catholic (the church I was baptized in), my grandmother is Methodist... the list goes on. Basically, my point is that even though I'm definitely Christian, I'm not quite sure where I stand on denominations. Personally, I'd say I agree with Lutheranism most. This is something I've always struggled with since I was younger. This video really helped me kinda straighten things out! Thanks, and God bless.
Edit: Can you guys please stop harassing me for not being Catholic? I have suffered abuse or at least terrible treatment from every one of my Catholic family members as a child and therefore have bad associations with the denomination. I've considered it recently, and that's kind of the whole point I was trying to make?
Edit #2: God bless everyone that introduced me to the Orthodox church! I really do feel the way I feel I should as a Christian.
I doubt you'll see this, but you should really read the preface of C.S. Lewis' book called Mere Christianity. In it, he describes a vast hall with side rooms. The big hall is where people like you are. Believers, but not sure of which small room to go into. The rest of the book is amazing too.

i was told by some Lutheran guy that they don't be believe in the after life (i.e heaven and hell no Judgment day, no rapture.) and once you're dead you're dead, which boggles my mind how any follower of Christ would chose to believe in something so dreadful, you might as well be atheist at that point.
@@ItsFuseFX That is one out of many Lutherans. Don't judge an entire denomination based on your own minimal experience.
@@ItsFuseFX Myself being a Lutheran, we do certainly believe in the afterlife, heaven, and hell. It's all stated in the bible, to not believe in that would be to reject the Gospel, going against the religion itself.

As someone who grew up Methodist but had a hard time wrapping my head around all these different sects of Christianity, I really appreciate this breakdown and explanation!

The only REAL christianity, and the ones that are behind the King James bible, and they know that's the book, they know the book is perfect, they believe on it and they received Jesus because by reading the King James bible they understand they were sinners, they repent, they ask forgivenes to God, they ask to God for his salvation believing the Gospel (1 Co 15), coming to the Lord broken, and they born again (2 Co 5:17, 1 Pe 1:23). If you didn't do this YOU ARE A FALSE CONVERT!!!!!!!!! Go and watch a video called "The marks of a false convert" by born again barbarian on youtube.

I’m a baptist but no one has ever explained to me how exactly all the other denominations are different. even though I still believe the baptist interpretation of the Bible is probably the most accurate, I think it’s really important to know exactly what everyone else believes so thanks for this video!
I am interested as you are baptist and seem to be very invested in that theology, how do you interpret that speaking of tongues of the pentecostals? If you would imagine a local church gathering in a city, where multiple denominations meet, how would you react to speaking in tongues of people?
And also what do you think about gifts of the spirit? Like healing and so on.
@@fabianletsch1354 I honestly have to do more research on the topic of tongues, however I have always been interested in that aspect of the pentecostal church. my current view on the speaking of tongues is that the bible clearly says it is a gift of the holy spirit that is given to some. I must admit that if I experienced someone supposedly speaking in tongues, I would be skeptical. I believe that for someone to truly be speaking in tongues, the words they say have to be beneficial to others in leading them to christ. like in acts when the apostles first speak in tongues, their words lead thousands of people to be saved. so to answer your question I think speaking in tongues is a very real gift from the holy spirit that he still uses today, but I think a lot of people who supposedly speak in tongues are not actually, they are just caught up in emotions or feel that they have to speak in tongues to prove they are spiritual. but God gives everyone different gifts, so not everyone is going to speak in tongues in their life. I have the same view on the other spiritual gifts you mentioned.
Honestly, I want to do my own research on this subject though. I don’t want to give my age on this platform, but I am quite young and still learning about everything 😅
Since you're not God, you can't say which interpretation is most accurate. Baptists are not better than other denominations, just different. Also, since Baptists have a wide range of interpretations (very individualistic) how can you group them all together?

This video is honestly amazing. I was born and raised Roman Catholic (24 at the time of writing). While I hold the church near and dear to my heart, I currently find hardship in following one faith over another. However, I do find tradition to be necessary although somewhat leniently. Though I am consistently wandering and confused, albeit fascinated by other denominations of Christianity and the rest of the major organized religions across the globe. Religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, etc.
While I continue my journey in Faith, I wish to say God Bless all my brothers and sisters in Christ as well as everyone on this planet and universe.
The church are followers of Christ, not an institution. I don't think people gotta remind you of what organized religion has done in the name of Christ.
There is not one faith over the other, theres only faith in Christ.
Take it from a former secularist. Looking at all these denomination and people arguing about how one is better than the other is what keeps a lot of people from the true Christ. Especially when someone from a certain group tends to claim theirs to be the TRUE one, but one look at their history is all you need to confirm their false claims. Stay safe.

The Holy , Apostolic church founded by Jesus Christ. Stay firm Catholic and don't wander. You have doubts, hit the books, read church history. Luther created this mess. He took books from the Bible, yes the Bible is Catholic, and he dropped them because it did not compliment his man made dogma of Sola Scriptura
.
If you are a Catholic, take a careful look at Ecumenism. Rather pray for the conversion of other man made religions.

@Christian Khoury yes, that church simply being anyone who puts their faith in Christ genuinely from the heart and that's it. once you've been reborn in that way, then you're immediately made a member of the kingdom of heaven and part of the body.
In my 26 years of being a christian ive never seen such good explanation on the different denominations. This is pure gold. I am looking for more information on 7th day adventist. A friend is considering leaving the baptist doctrine to join them and I dont have a lot of information to give the counsel she asked for.
Update: she didn’t end up changing churches! Thank you for the suggestions
what kind of info are you looking for im a 7th day adventist
@@ellelamana255 more concrete discussions about the writings of Ellen G White and her importance in their doctrine. And their beliefs in general. I've heard they are basically "Jewish Christians" but not a whole lot more tbh
@@Slotcaramba I am a Seventh Day Adventist. I was catholic before. Finding God through the SDA church has been a treasure for me. Don’t stop your friend from approaching the SDA church. God is calling her, don’t be a stumbling block. Just pray for her that God guides her.
As far as “Christian Jews” we believe to keep all 10 commandments. Including the 4th one. Keeping the Sabbath Holy. No where in the Bible does it say to change the Holy day to Sunday. So we worship and congregate on Sabbath. Like it has been with the Jews since the beginning of time. 6 days of creation… on the seventh day God rested. The Seventh being Saturday. The real Sabbath. We also keep the food laws as much as possible. Maybe not in the way we butcher and prepare the meat. But we do abstain from eating “unclean” animals like shrimp, pork etc.
Ellen G. White is seen as a lesser light. Her writing help us understand the Bible, so they are to be used as study guides or commentary, and we believe God used her to write these books, but her books don’t have more authority than the Bible. So while she writes about many things about Christ and the early church, and the apostles, she also writes about Christian life and not only abstaining from unclean animals, but she also suggests eating a vegetarian or vegan diet. Not all Adventists are vegetarian or vegan, but it’s definitely one of our messages, to eat clean and healthy and take care of God’s temple which is our body.
Within the Seventh Day Adventist church you will find liberals and conservatives and everything in between. Also ultra liberals and ultra conservatives. That I must warn you about. Don’t judge the SDA church based off the ultras.
I do recommend you watch Amazing Facts channel on TH-cam with Pastor Doug Batchelor. He is an amazing example of conservative (anti woke) but not legalistic or unbiblical. Look him up on TH-cam . He has a lot of sermons explaining and debunking a lot of misconceptions of the SDA church, but most importantly, he has tons of sermons intended to direct us to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
The state of the dead is also a belief we hold. What happens when we die? You will be fascinated by what Doug Batchelor teaches directly from scripture!
Blessings!
Babylon the Great includes all denominations and sects of christianity. Babylon is confusion and those who subscribe to any of these sects are a member of a harlot. They are one flesh with her as opposed to being joined unto the Lord as one Spirit. As it is written, let God be true but EVERY MAN A LIAR. When we are yet carnal and are part of this global system of harlotry, we are alienated from the life of God. The great whore is very seductive and many strong men have been slain by her as the scriptures declare. There is none good but one, that is God. That was the response of Jesus when he was called Good Teacher. That still holds true today. The few who find the narrow path that leads to righteousness actually believe there is one Good Teacher and let Him be true but every man a liar. As it is written, for from the least unto the greatest of them, ALL are greedy for gain, prophets and priests alike, ALL practice deceit.
My husband studied SDA years ago. He did not choose to be a part of it because he observed they treated Ellen White's writing on the same level as The Bible & he strongly disagreed with that.
Hey, one of my friends is a Calvinist/Reformed Christian. He's such a theology nerd, haha. I liked your description of them as nerds who use big words.
as someone who was raised and identifies as a non-denominational Christian, I find this so interesting as I've never really got to think about the differences in denominations and just took people as Christian. Its nice to see where I stand on my beliefs on the spectrum too and understanding where other people come from
I think non-denominational does techinally mean Baptist.
@@theautisticintrovertedluca3634 why do you say that?
I had the same upbringing, and going to an OPC (Presbyterian) bible study has given me a lot more respect for other denominations. We may not agree on every theological topic, or every tradition, but we can discuss it respectfully, and understand that these issues are not primary. It is so obvious to me that we follow the same God, and all have his spirit working in our lives. Also seeing how they came to their beliefs through the scriptures has helped too, since it is a valid interpretation of the text.
you go to church in sunday. YOU CATHOLIC. you waste your time thinking you saved from GOD wrath.
Thank you for this video. As a Religious Education teacher, I often get asked what the difference is between the various Christian denominations. It is difficult to explain without getting my students lost in the theology of it all. This is very helpful!
When people don’t believe in an absolute point of reference….chaos ensues. That’s why it is so difficult to understand and accept.
please don't use this video in class
The big question I have... is the faith that people practice today the same as the faith the original Apostles kept? As far as I can tell, they kept the Sabbath and Holy Days all with new emphasis on Christ. For instance, Passover was seen as not only the remembrance of the passing over of the Israelites by the death angel in Egypt, but also a yearly commemoration of his death and resurrection which allows us to also be born again (This do you in remembrance of me..."). What do easter bunnies, painted eggs and sunrise services (all of which seem pagan) have to do with Christ? We were told to commemorate his death, not his birth (as in christmas), because his DEATH and resurrection were the most important things to ever happen to the human race. The Feast of Tabernacles looks forward to Christ's return and 1000 year reign on Earth. Redressed pagan holidays seem to hold little meaning compared to the Holy Days the disciples would have kept. All I'm saying is that the "christianity" of today seems to hold very little in common with the first century church. Why is that?
@@privatear2001 Good questions! This is not true with orthodoxy. In eastern orthodoxy, the services that are preformed are the same services that have been preformed for over sixteen hundred years. In fact, the divine liturgy of Saint James brother of the lord is still regularly performed. Said service goes back literally to the apostle James, though this service is usually only done on his name day. Typical liturgies are of St John Chrysostom or of Saint Basil the great; the former a derivative of the latter though both are in modern usage worldwide.
On the issue of why the sabbath, high holy days, and 'jewish' traditions being lost, that was intentional right at the very beginning of the church. This is explicitly stated by Paul in his epistles in the new testament that Jesus created a new covenant, not brought outsiders into the old one (an explicit no-no for jews). Thus people brought into Christianity from the beginning were creating something new, they did not need to be Jewish to be saved, nor were they needing to adopt jewish traditions. This in the first century, most likely directly from the apostles themselves had the sabboth move from Saturday to Sunday, as jesus was witnessed alive on Sunday, the first day of the week, and transform from a restrictive day of rest to a day of rest and worship, as the divine liturgy was commigrated weekly on that day. A tradition that has continued for two thousand years.
It is known that Jews who converted often did keep some of their original traditions, and the pagans who converted brought in a few of their traditions as well. Eggs and bunnies have been the traditions of fertility since ancient times. Colored eggs (specifically red) have been used as a symbol of Christianity since its founding. The red eggs coming from the story of Saint Mary Magdalene preforming the miracle of having an egg change color to red in her hand in the presence of Emperor Tiberias as she preached the gospel. Thus red eggs are still a tradition in eastern orthodoxy.
Egg decorating on Easter was done since at least medieval times, which is where additional colors came from. Later on these were changed from literal eggs to chocolate eggs as of the late 1600's at least in Germany, where the Osterhase AKA Easter hare, was said to lay them. How the Osterhase ended up in America is easy, he came with German settlers to Pennsylvania and spread throughout the US. The tradition of the Easter bunny has nothing to do with the church, but given the relative lack of church tradition with protestant denominations, has become part of Easter in America.
The same can be said of christmas, santa claus, tooth fairy, ect... each of these made their way into the American lexicon from ideas brought in from abroad due to immigration of various groups and the beliefs being incorporated into American life. With some of the holidays like Christmas taking on new meanings again, due to the lack of church tradition in protestant denominations, picking up more importance than easter. Which as you have pointed out, is the incorrect way to think of it. Yes we should celebrate Jesus's birth, but we should celebrate his death more, as his death was key to the promise of eternal life for all who follow him.
Now if we get to the meat of the question... why? Why has it changed so much in 2000 years for some and for others (like the orthodox) barely at all.
Answer; disagreements over a timescale of 2000+ years.
Starting from the little schism that separated off the Coptics from the rest of the church. to the great schism of 1054 which divided eastern and western world, to the protestant reformation and rejection of church tradition by the protestant denominations have lead to a fractured belief structure where nominally all are 'Christian' as in believe in the core tenants as proclaimed in the gospel, but are radically different. As an orthodox is pains me to look at many protestant denominations get so much about meanings of the bible wrong. Interpreting scripture incorrectly due to mostly translation issues and lost context of the scriptures original meanings from the source text. Also most protestant denominations have little to no context of original church scripture written by the apostles or the apostles apostles (second and third generations). The orthodox AND Catholic churches have a ton of these writings and they are used for the contexts of holy traditions.
It would be like an American looking to the constitution and at making judgements on what its words mean without having the supporting documents such as the federalist papers, the magna carta, or english common law. It is no wonder then why protestant denominations with wildly incorrect or even heretical beliefs sprout up all claiming to be 'Christian'... is because the source of the information (the Bible) is just the start, not the only holy work of the religion.
@@Sindalis1 Well, all I can say is I see nothing in scripture anywhere where God authorized the changing of the Sabbath from the seventh day of the week to the first. The seventh day was set in stone from the creation onward as a rest day. It didn't just occur out of nowhere in the 10 commandments. God says He is the same now and forever. He does not change. What he considers sin does not change. Nobody had the authority to change the Sabbath from the seventh day to the first, not the pope, not Paul, not Peter, not Ceaser. And nowhere in the Bible does it speak of it, as far as I can tell.
As for the Holy days, Zechariah 14:16 says "And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles." As far as I can tell, the Apostles and Christ all kept the Holy Days but the disciples would have kept them now looking forward to Christ's return "This do in remembrance of me..." He was taken on Passover night - an action directly hearkening back to the Passover lamb being slain for the sins of the Israelites in Egypt centuries before. Beautiful foreshadowing with rich meaning which I believe is lost on "easter sunday". Christ was already risen by the time Sunday morning rolled around according to the scripture. Probably the end of the Sabbath prior.
The Feast of Tabernacles reminds us that our bodies are all "earthen tents" subject to decay until Christ returns and then we will be with him in his kingdom on earth. The Holy Days in scripture point towards a future time with richness and meaning. The "traditions of men" that have been handed down through the ages and that are the face of christianity today are totally irrelevant and devoid of meaning, from what I can see, just rules and regulations made by men. I see nothing resembling the first century church in what people call "christianity" today. Everything is just a copy and kept on what were old pagan holidays. Christ asked "What business has light with darkness?" And I have thought much about the parable of entering at the narrow gate. FEW there are who find it. But the majority go through the wide gate. That implies to me that many who think they are Christian today might not be actually practicing Christianity at all. And unfortunately, that may cost them dearly. That's what scripture implies to me. I hope I'm wrong about it, but that's what it implies.
I'm not a Christian but this is the video I needed! I like learning about other people's faith and I knew the other sects were different and I really appreciate how well you deconstructed and explained every different major sect succinctly😊 and yet with plenty of detail. Thank you very much!
Thank you for your willingness to learn! You truly live up to your name.
Hell I was raised Roman catholic ( I'm now agnostic) and I didn't know many of these things especially about the other branches and I used to go to church school every Wednesday and Saturday Church school plus Sunday service. yet I was never taught half of if not most of this, especially the differences in the denominations. But honestly I feel they're all the same every religion basically believes the same thing yet with a twist. I also need to stop commenting when I'm high because i trailed off hard
And honestly all of them are BS. Jesus never ever said oh yes when im gone make up a bunch of rules and divide from one another. He said multiple times he is the ONLY way into heaven and gave us clear instructions on what to do and told us exactly how to be his friend. What do these denominations do? They cut his message off right at the knees and ignore the rest. Especially with the once saved always saved doctrine or the rapture doctrine both of which never appear in the bible at all. Heck we could talk about the catholics praying to mary...which we shouldnt do. We could talk about th statues of jesus and mary that catholics pray to. Which the bible says not to do (make no image of anything on earth in heaven or in the sea and WORSHIP it, jesus and mary are in heaven.....)
The only thing that should matter to a christian is the doctrine of christ. Aka doing what he said to do and have a personal relationship with him.
Best thing about this is despite being Christian I’m still a heretic to all of them
@@eldritchcupcakes3195 why's that? What cult are you in?
This video is absolutely excellent, correct and accurate. What a great effort, thank you. Besides, with a little humour 😊
As a atheist I found this very interesting. Don’t change!
Respect to you, nice to see those who will not actively pick fights with those of faith. God bless you, whether you believe in Him or not.
I’ll pray for you 😉
There is only one way to Heaven.
Not different ways.
Please, repent before it is too late.
@TedEhioghae Im sure you can find other ways to convince people to become Christian....your reply seems very passive aggressive...
@@Claire-cc6xy that type of passive aggressive statement is exactly what turns people away from truly wanting to find salvation. There’s nothing people hate more than being told there is only one way or the highway. Let them find their path and if they are truly meant to be saved, they will. It doesn’t matter if they do all “the necessary steps” to repent and be saved if it is not sincere and they don’t mean it from their heart and soul. God will see through all of that in the end anyway. They needs to feel as though they are welcomed when they are ready, not forcefully dragged into it
I grew up Catholic and my sister had a Presbyterian friend and she asked her what the difference was and she just said “idk we have more fun” and I always loved that answer 😂 but seriously it’s cool to get a basic understanding of all these!
The next time somebody asks, tell them Catholics believe and support evolution, they do not.
@@rumblefish9 yes we do. Creationism is not official doctrine. The belief is that God is the creator. Exactly how he did it isn't important spiritually and doesn't mean it couldn't have been through the big bang etc. how it was done is not doctrine. Just that God is the creator. I'm confirmed, married to,a confirmed Catholic. The daughter of confirmed Catholics and the mother of w confirmed Catholics. I was educated in Catholic schools most of my life, and have helped teach and sponsored a few rcia candidates.
Yes... because "fun" is a significant aspect of the faith...
@@MilornDiester I think it is. But it's also not limited to any specific church.
@@ChickenSando How? Why?
I'm baptist, and while nothing you said about baptists is wrong, I think it's worth mentioning that while we value the Bible's teachings heavily over the influence of the Church and its leaders, the regular meeting of the congregation and having strong spiritual leadership is still central to how we act on our belief in God. I appreciate the information on other denominations!
Yes, it’s important that spiritual leaders can be themselves lead by the Holy Spirit so the congregation can face tough situations.
As do all others
Bible was created by the Apostolic Teachings, meaning Bible was created by the teaching of Jesus Christ. The Church was founded before Bible was created.
@@matejaradivojevic3473and the church followed Paul and he redirected the church to what it is today. So yes they didn’t follow the Bible but the Bible (Paul’s letters) is what the church now follows including other books that changed the church as a whole
I try to take it all with "a grain of salt" as it's based off history way back to .. etc. I appreciate videos like yours because I'm not frustrated by rampant bias. Thank you for short and concise overviews which help me take it in without fighting off (my own fault and weakness) resentment. Nicely done.
I grew up in the Presbyterian church and was surprised at how accurate this video was! When you said "sovereignty" and "convenant" I was like "yeah, what of it," so it made me laugh when you said we use big theology words. 10/10, completely true.
Sitting at the back of the church got me, we are known for sitting at the back of the church, something kind of engrained in us. I see differences in the Presbyterian churches I go to but the 2 common denominators are the theology and filling the church from the back. Well that's the way it is here in Ireland anyway.
I never noticed the filling from the back...I just thought people were shy. Is there a reason for this?
@@juliawirch2454 I don't know but every Presbyterian Church I've been to seem to fill from the back, always thought it had something to do with the parable of the rich righteous man at the front of the church and the poor sinner at the back of the church being humble. Or could just they don't want the minister to see them falling asleep during the sermon 😂
Not sure why he said that Pentecostals were grouped with trinitarians? Every Pentecostal that I’ve met has believed in the Oneness doctrine.
So gotta ask, when you say “church” do you mean a traditional style church? My Presbyterian “church” looks like a house.
I was doing some research some years ago and found that Presbyterians go to worship houses vs church. I’ve started paying attention now and have noticed a lot of Presbyterians worship at a “house”, but have noticed others worship at a more traditional looking church. Wonder if there is a difference?
Presbyterian turned non-denom/Black Baptist and now I’m Catholic. This was all super fair and accurate !! I loved being able to learn and appreciate other denominations and Christian traditions and do still appreciate that pretty much all of us can agree on the Nicene Creed. Great video 🙌🏾
Catholics are the Whore of Babylon spoke of in Revelation 17. Catholicism isn't Christianity, not even close.

As a Catholic I loved that you mentioned the Church’s contribution to science; there is still a pervasive misconception that we are anti-science.

Thomas Aquinas essentially invented Scholasticism and thus universities, while secular humanism is itself an evolution from (or at least product of) Christian humanism. And that's from a non-denominational Christian who still believes that praying to anyone but God is idolatry. ;)

We grew up with research being the center of everything at Catholic school. 😆I still remember if you got an answer wrong on a test, the response from the nuns was always "why didn't you look that up!"
That's awesome. At least once a week, I thank God that I was raised Catholic for those very reasons. At the same time, however, the most Catholic part of me really wishes that I could have just found these things out totally on my own. 😂
On a somewhat related note, you should check out the Jibber-Jabber with Conan O'Brien where he interviews Jack White if you're a fan of either of them. They touch slightly on the topic.
could you also study with the same zeal the origin of the Catholic Church and how scriptural prophecy is fulfilled in it.
It's worth it.

Really, cause I got kicked out of church for asking questions lol. Like "if we have free will how are we following gods plan? You can't have both, either we have free will or we're following a plan." Priests and nuns hate questions like that
@@nono-ch8oy The freewill/determinism paradox exists with or without God, first of all. More importantly, the quality of foreknowledge doesn't imply any direct control over our actions. Whether or not God exists, scientific laws are based on determinism, and freewill exists under that paradigm as well. Either way, freewill is obviously "part of the plan." If priests and nuns hate questions like that, it's probably because they're so often asked (or, rather, regurgitated) in bad faith by petulant nitwits who don't even understand the terms and conditions of logic.
This was a great video! I am a confirmed Catholic (went through the sacraments of baptism, first communion, and lastly, confirmation) and I know more about my religion than the other variants of Christianism, so this was really good for self study 😊 thank you and God bless you
Im in the same boat! Feels like as much as much as you learn there’s always more!
Catholics are the Whore of Babylon spoke of in Revelation 17. Catholicism isn't Christianity, not even close. It's Satanic wickedness and evil at it's core.Father God commanded to have no idols and that is all Catholicism is. Read revelation 17, it is Holy Roman and the Vatican they are speaking of.
Islam is the religion who makes us to Believe in Jesus,
We Muslims 100% Believes in Jesus,
We Muslims Believes that Jesus is the Christ,
We Muslims Believes that Jesus will Come Again to this World,
Jesus did Miracles by the Permission of Allah,
Jesus himself Never said “Im God” also Never he said anyone to “Worship Me”
Jesus was Just a Prophet and Messenger Of Allah Only to Guide The People of Israel,

Here is what to believe to go to heaven, the true gospel ! "through faith in His blood"- Rom.3:25: Lord Jesus, I repent; I admit I'm a sinner and I'm sorry. Therefore, I do not trust in my own works to go to heaven because I realize, being a sinner, I cannot offer the perfect blood sacrifice that you require to pay for sin. Instead, I now fully trust, believing in my heart, that your finished work on the cross, your one perfect blood sacrifice, when you bled, suffered and died, in my place, paid for my sins in full, past, present and future. And I believe that you rose from the dead and that you are God Almighty, God the Son, alive for evermore !!! And so I fully trust that you will forgive me now by cleansing me from all sin in your precious blood, which purifies my soul. Thank you Lord Jesus for greatly loving me, for forgiving me, saving me from hell and giving me eternal life and sealing me with the Holy Spirit dwelling within me forever !!! Ephes.1:13, 4:30, Heb.10:10-14,19,38,39
Thank you! This was a nice way to get done clarity on this
This was probably one of the best quick breakdowns of what makes Catholics different from
Protestants while still explaining both sides beliefs evenly without misinterpretations or “propoganda” against one another. Well done
Greek Orthodox here, thank you for this video. I can just fire off a link to this and have people understand without me trying to struggle with the mystery part. It's not as obscure as it sounds... it's ineffable and profound. As for traditions, it's big and small stuff, like holiday rites and not having any statues.
I didn't get the salvation part, I mean how do you believe people are saved? (English isn't my first language)
There's also a ton of threes in almost everything. Say something three times. Walk around the altar three times. Get blessed three times. That kind of thing.
@@arienesantos7891 I'm Antiochian Orthodox, and what I've been taught is that heaven and hell in the literal sense, like actual locations, are not our understanding. It's more that everyone is "in the same place," and depending on how you perceive God that's either a good experience for you or a bad one. To explain that, it's like a child in the presence of their parents. In the usual case, a young child's parents are their heroes, and they want nothing more than to play with them and have their attention. To this child, being in their parent's presence is heaven. On the other hand, if the child has done something wrong and feels guilty, or if they have a strained relationship with their parents, they will be constantly uncomfortable. This would be our philosophy's version of hell. Again, this is just my understanding, and the Orthodox church has room for a lot of different beliefs - that's one of the ways it's been around for so long!
@@arienesantos7891 I`m Bulgarian Orthodox so I can`t speak for the others but I can tell you how I`ve learned it. Basically
We reject philosophy. God is things that are inherently good and the highest good and if you need to "philosophize" about why something is good then it`s not the highest good. So God is things like love, justice, truth and beauty. Not an act or an example of it but the thing itself.
And we have this thing called symbolism. Symbolism is basically telling stories in a different way that contain the same meaning and the way we know that meaning is true is if it`s universal. We also rely on the accumulated filtered wisdom of the Bible, church and saints to guide us. So in a certain way the Bible is less a book of rules and commands and more like an instruction manual of how to avoid bad shit from happening but you still have personal responsibility to make your own choices.
If you make the correct choices you achieve "theosis" which is becoming one with God and that`s how you are saved in this world.
@@sophieburt9191 I agree with you but I learned it a little different. Basically in the afterlife we all in the same place but people that are worthy of heaven see the eternal light which is God while people that did bad things just turn around and never see the Light which would fulfill the souls "desire", the demons are actually the ones who get tortured in a lake of acid and high temperature. Also the difference between the Orthodox church and the Catholic is that in the Orthodox all of the members vote wether a change should be implemented or not regardless if you are the Patriarch , while the Pope in the Catholic church does whatever changes he likes and the other members of the church are there to just give the impression that it was done with the will of all the church members, basically Orthodoxy is in balance between tradition and the Church being the one who implements the changes it needs with collective thinking while Catholicism favours the church more (ex there is no mention of purgatory in the Bible or in any of the apostoles letters). Lastly forgiveness is achieved by the person actually being sorry for his mistakes because it's the part of theosis , also the people who achieved theosis are the closest to God.
Note the Trinity thing was implemented to counter a heretic movement in Spain which stated that the Holly spirit isn't as important as the Father or the Son , also Catholicism was born due to the fact that the Pope was drunk by power and thought he was above every other member of the church, later on it became for political power.
Fun fact: Orthodoxy (Eastern and the other) are placed second in the world about the amount of members it has, first being the Catholic church having more members due to south America.
As an Orthodox Christian from America, I enjoyed this video. What I like most about Orthodoxy is fasting during the entire Lent (not just on Fridays) as I believe the most important holiday is Easter. We take so much for granted so it’s good to pause and be thankful for everything that we have. Also, besides forgiveness, I feel that the main theme in Christianity is that life is supposed to be hard and that we are all on a journey, just like Christ was when he carried the cross that he died on for us.
I miss meat and cheese so much 🫠🫠🫠🫠
One of the stupidest things I have ever heard.
I am not an Orthodox Christian, but I also practice Lent the entire time as well (considering that Lent is representing and is symbolic of one's own suffering)
See, I think the thought that life should be hard is stupid. Isn't the point of progress to help make life better for everyone?
@@pelserino4632 that depends on your definition of better.
Thank you for a very interesting snapshot of Christianity. Well done. 😊
