I'm a Catholic who lost his way and left the church in my younger days. I have been invited to other churches, Protestant, but always felt like something was missing, like God was not speaking to me. In my late 30's, I asked God to enter my life and I walked into a Catholic Church one Sunday and it was like that Mass was for me. Everything I heard was like God was speaking to me and I could feel the Holy Spirit in me. I was like that Lamb who was lost and since that day I have felt the calling to defend my faith in a world with so much hate and disbelief. I'm not a full Apologetic but I feel as a Catholic, we need more Apologetics because there is one thing I notice about other Christian Faiths, there are Millions that hate the Catholic Church but they don't know why. I have found the American Denominations that follow Sola Scriptoria have taken it to the next level, so confused that anyone can start to Minister and lead people away from their own Lutheran Church beliefs which were not so far from Catholic of the time even with a Reformation.

This is interesting. Jesus said to believe in Him for salvation, He also said we must be born again, seems the two can’t be separated but must happen instantaneously for salvation to occur. Is Jesus God, why did He have to die, and what does it mean to be born again

⁠@@jimmyallen9188jesus was born to fulfill scripture. He had to be born so that God could give people a tangible reason to believe rather than kill his own creation for their repeated sin. He knew a man like Noah and a man like Moses could only do so much. He had to show humans tangible mercy. Not because he made mistakes in the past...but because humans continued to make them. He gave his only son to forgive the sins of humanity. Jesus took upon himself the sins of the world and died for our lives to be saved. Much the same as the believers in Jesus when he walked the earth would bring their sick and dying to him to be healed. Their faith saved those people. Jesus' faith saved us. Without him being born we would still be in a very dark world. To be born again is to be saved by Christ through baptism (either at birth or at any time in ones life)at birth because this is the identical gesture made by those in faith to save their loved ones from illness and death. That's why the argument against child baptism is completely absurd. Protestants make it about consent. But that is completely illogical because those people saved their loved ones against their wills. That possessed man was saved by Jesus against his will. But I'm sure they're all grateful. I'm grateful I was baptized as a child. That my parents faith in God was put on me. But I also include adult baptism. Because not all are baptized as children. Jesus was an adult and so were many mant other people baptized through history. By John the Baptist and then so on and so on. To be born again means to go from living outside the life Christ wants for you to living the one he wants for you. Humans divide it by their dogma...and yes. Jesus is part of the trinity. He is the father and the son and the holy spirit.

Thank you for sharing, I like to hear diffrent experiences in and with faith and the Church. I myself was baptized Catholic and went to Catholic school, I never felt quite right about it all and walked away...fast forward I got into trouble and ended up in prison, there I converted to Islam (took the shahada). Searched in that for a good while, but it was empty and contradictory not to mention ridiculous. I then came back to Christianity being more convinced of Christ being Lord but stood non denominational to this day. I continue to learn and pray that I will stay seeking the Truth in Christ Jesus, wherever that may lead as long as it is in Him. I pray that all who genuinely call on the Name of Christ Jesus will be united in one mind and one accord. May God bless you my brother in Christ.

Excellent unbiased presentation. Unable to tell if this video was made by a Roman Catholic, Protestant or Orthodox perspective. My heart grieves over the division within Christendom due to false teaching that has infiltrated the Holy Catholic Church (Roman Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox). Longing for Jesus' reign to end the division. Heavenly Father, forgive us of our sins as we forgive those who have sinned against us. Come Lord Jesus, come quickly.

Many will follow these false teachers and the way of truth will be blasphemed. The apostle Paul wrote to Timothy in 1 Timothy 2:5-6 "For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time." One of the branches of Christendom teaches that Mary, the mother of our Lord, is also a mediator (mediatrix) and now many pray to Mary believing she is their mediator between men and God. This teaching that Mary, mother of our Lord, is a co-mediator is contrary to the word of God and is a false teaching.

@@rosiegirl2485 The Apostles Paul, Peter, and John warned believers in Acts chapter 20, 1 Corinthians chapter 11, 2 Corinthians chapter 11, 1 Timothy chapter 1, 2 Timothy chapter 3, 2 Peter chapter 2, 1 John chapter 2 that even while they were alive there were false apostles, false teachers, anti-christs, and ravenous wolves deceiving and attempting to deceive believers and captivating weak women who were burdened down with sins. These false teachers have been around since the beginning of the Church. This is why it is soooo important to stay in the word of God each day so we can recognize who are the false teachers among us whether you attend a Roman Catholic Church, a Protestant Church or Orthodox Church. There are false teachers in each branch of Christendom. The Apostle Paul warned the Corinthians in 2 Corinthians 11:3 "But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ." He goes on to say in verse 4 "For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough." The Apostle John wrote in his Gospel chapter 1 beginning in verse 11 "He (Jesus) came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God." In Matthew 16 when Peter declared to Jesus, "You are the Christ, the Son of God." Jesus said blessed are you Simon Bar-jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven." John wrote in 1 John 5:1 "Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God,..." The knowledge and belief that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God comes directly from the Father and that is the meaning of being born again. Those who are born again are God's children and they are the people who make up the one true Church, whether they are in the Roman Catholic Church, the Protestant Church or Orthodox Church. Think about this...when the Anti-Christ comes (read Revelation chapters 12 & 13) he is not going ask if someone prays to Mary and/or the Saints, whether, or not, they believe in the filioque, whether they believe in infant baptism or believer's baptism, or whether the bread and wine are actually the body and blood of Jesus or if it is a symbol of remembrance? The Anti-christ wants to know if you hold to the testimony of Jesus, whether He is the Christ, the Son of God. If one confesses Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God then it is either off to prison of off with one's head. It is our belief in Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God that matters. My confession is Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God!! I stand with all my brothers and sisters who make the same confession, whether they are Roman Catholic, Orthodox or Protestant.

😮.. my brain hurts! I’ll have to watch this again and take notes🤪

Marcion claimed that the letter to the Ephesians was mislabeled....it was written to the church at Laodicea....

Great, succinct coverage of all those times and events and people. There's more to be said (for clarification, etc) of many things herein, but that would defeat the purpose of this video, which is to introduce us to all these things without getting bogged down on certain details, thus giving us all (whether Catholic or Protestant) a good, non-polemical outline of the historical Christian Church. One clarification, for example, the bishop of Rome wasn't considered the chief bishop just because he was seated in the most important city. He was the chief bishop because that was the seat of Peter in his last years on Earth, whom Jesus made the first 'pope' (as that bishop later came to be called). Peter was given the keys of the Kingdom by King Jesus (Matt 16:16ff), thus making Peter the prime minister, or vicar, of the King.

4:40 Nestorius being Patriarch of Constantinople confused me. I always thought about Antioch when thinking of Nestorius.

God is good. We are thankful for the Anglican Church in Canada.

It should be noted that St. Ignatius called Jesus' Church the Catholic Church in AD 108. Most biblical scholars admit that it had probably been called the Catholic Church for years or even decades earlier, which would put the name during the time of at least some of the Apostles.

It was also the reason behind much manipulation of Jesus' teachings, particularly the Council of Nicea under Constantine.

He didn't want the conflict in belief that had come about. He didn't care about what was true and false. The division wasn't serving his purpose. He wanted a church unified in belief, which just wasn't there. It was debated that Christ was divine which Constantine didn't want debated. So the council put an end to teachings that Christ wasn't divine. What was lost was the diversity of knowledge that previously existed. Christ became God. Period. It didn't matter whether in the Jesus-as-Son of Man tradition was Jesus' actual teaching. Did Jesus teach that he was divine? Or did that come into the gospels and oral tradition later?

@@johnsteila6049 We do, but my point was that after the Nicene Creed was pressed out of the Council of Nicea by Constantine, anything that was opposed to it became heresy and was persecuted. And the newly heretical teachings were forced to go underground, sometimes quite literally. Some were dug up from a hiding hole in Nag Hammadi 1600 years later, a tribute to the force of Constantine's politics. The Dead Sea Scrolls were long before Constantine, but they too were stashed to keep them out of the hands, probably of the Romans to prevent their desecration and hopefully preserve them after Jerusalem and presumably Judaism was destroyed. The religious leaders who hid them were certainly wary of Roman politics. My point is that religion is often impacted by politics and usually the desire is to make religion conform to the desired politics, not the other way around. Roman politics crushed Judea, not once but twice and Judaism was never the same after they destroyed the Temple. One thing about the Romans, they didn't bother with the niceties of councils when they wanted things their way. Constantine wanted a god, not a holy man, and one set of beliefs in order to give political stability to his rule...and he got it. We will never know which of the variety of teachings belonged to Jesus himself because Constantine's creed went universal and exploded anything that didn't go along with his program. I'll agree with you that politics is ubiquitous, but you're sort of making my point for me.

Jesus warned that "While men were sleeping an enemy oversowed weeds in amoung the wheat" ( Matt 13:25 ) After John the last apostle died ( went to sleep) the weeds began to appear! Only a few apostolic fathers who either knew John or his immediate disciples stuck to the true gospel. by the second century hellenistic greek philosophy was mixed with bible teachings. Efforts to understand what is unknown about God led to much speculation & falsehood. The final 'straw' came when to unify his empire Constantine ( while still a pagan) headed a state controlled 'church' which was the final harvest of weeds! Very sad. Yet by returning to the simple and pure bible teachings we can still find the truth of God the Father & his derar Son Jesus Christ. The Harvest is coming soon and the weeds will be gathered out & the 'wheat' saved! Amen!

Disagree. Constantine allowed the Church to flourish. Prior to this many of the early Church fathers were martyred. Jesus himself has said the gates of hell will not prevail against his Church. Often I see this as a way for some to justify modernity inserted into Christianity per the Reformation. After the last of the apostles several Church fathers rebutted heresies and died for the faith, to say they were weeds is to deny the faith they passed along.

I think it was Paul who derailed things. James, the brother of Jesus, whom Jesus put in charge regardless of what landed in the gospel about Peter, called him the "great liar." I think many scholars think that any reference to a church is a later addition and probably no Jesus' teaching at all. All of the apostles had different areas they went to to spread the message, but those based in Jerusalem, including Peter and James, never really approved Paul's teachings and were vocal about it. We know the New Testament Gospels were not early writings and were finally put down in the latter half of the 1st century after a long period of transmission by mouth, a very unreliable method and prone to weave in other beliefs which wound up coming out of the mouth of Jesus.

Who shall bring the conflagration and just judgment upon all who have refused to believe in Him. For the Lord says, And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near. And there shall not a hair of your head perish. For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Now the fall took place in paradise; for Adam fell there. And He says again, Then shall the Son of man send His angels, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds of heaven. And David also, in announcing prophetically the judgment and coming of the Lord, says, His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and His circuit unto the end of the heaven: and there is no one hid from the heat thereof. By the heat he means the conflagration. And Esaias speaks thus: Come, my people, enter into your chamber, (and) shut your door: hide yourself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation of the Lord be overpast. And Paul in like manner: For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth of God in unrighteousness. 65. Moreover, concerning the resurrection and the kingdom of the saints, Daniel says, And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall arise, some to everlasting life, (and some to shame and everlasting contempt). Esaias says, The dead men shall arise, and they that are in their tombs shall awake; for the dew from you is healing to them. The Lord says, Many in that day shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live. And the prophet says, Awake, you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light. And John says, Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection: on such the second death has no power. For the second death is the lake of fire that burns. And again the Lord says, Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun shines in his glory. And to the saints He will say, Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. But what says He to the wicked? Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels, which my Father has prepared. And John says, Without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever makes and loves a lie; for your part is in the hell of fire. And in like manner also Esaias: And they shall go forth and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me. And their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be for a spectacle to all flesh. 66. Concerning the resurrection of the righteous, Paul also speaks thus in writing to the Thessalonians: We would not have you to be ignorant concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive (and) remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice and trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive (and) remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord." ~ (Hippolytus) disciple of Irenaeus disciple of Polycarp who knew John

Church history, Thy way, O God, is in thy sanctuary, who is so great a God as our God? {Psalm77:13} ...as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith God, that thou make all things according to *the pattern* shewed to thee in the mount. {Hebrews 8:5} The *sanctuary* [tabernacle] was a pattern of types and shadows of the heavenly temple, and Jesus Christ is the substance of those types and shadows. He is the door to the sanctuary; Jesus is the door to the Kingdom of heaven. He is the inner court surrounded by white linen; which is symbolic of being covered Christ prefect righteousness. He is our passover sacrificed for us on burnt alter for sacrifice. He is the laver for washing; symbolic of the rebirth, being born again of the Spirit. He is the table of Showbread; the two stacks of loves of bread are symbolic of the word of God (the bread of life) in two testaments / witnesses, also the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve Apostles. He is the Lampstand; the oil being symbolic of his Spirit; the Lampstand symbolic of his light unto the world. He is our Altar of incense; making intercession for his saints. He is our Mercy seat covering the Ark of the covenant; Jesus is both our advocate standing for his saints with the Father and He is our judge in judment. Jesus Christ caused the sacrifices and their oblations to cease, (Dan 9:27) by his one perfect sacrifice. In contrast to the time of the Gentiles, wherefore the sanctuary of God is trodden under foot for forty and two months. How so? This church who calls herself the mother church, claims to be *the door* to salvation. And the white linen surrounding the inner court is the righteousness of Mary and the saints of the Roman church. She claims that Christ sacrifice and Atonement for sin was not sufficient, for she instituted seven (works) sacraments. She through infant baptism makes a mockery of the rebirth of the new man. Her Catechism thinks to replace the inspired word of God. Her prayers to dead saints and to Mary, thinks to replace Christ work of intercession at the altar of incense. Hers is a false spirit which thinks to cover the light of truth. This beast and her king think to change times and laws of God. And goeth into perdition.

Lol did you really just being up war crimes when talking about medieval wars

The FIVE pillars of Christianity are BAPTISM LORD'S PRAYER, THE PASSOVER PREACHING AND THE ETERNITY.. Christianity has no symbol like Cross. The symbol is preaching of Gospel for entering into the Eternal Life in the Kingdom of Heaven.

I like how he doesn't even try to pronounce any non-English words/names "correctly"... ("Filioque", "Saladin", etc) He just reads through it as if he was standing in line at Sizzler in 1986... Consistent mispronunciation is better than inconsistent "correct" pronunciation, in my opinion.

The Holy Mass was later introduced into the Christianity by Constantine instead of celebrations of the PASSOVER every year on the 14th day of the first month of the Hebrew Calendar. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ was the last and final until His second coming. Until then we have to observe the Passover, Baptism, Preaching, Lord's Prayer and hope for the Eternity.

The Church Jesus established is the Catholic Church. Always has been, always will be. Jesus chose Simon, whom He called Kepha, to lead His one, holy, catholic, and Apostolic Church, against which the gates of Hell shall not prevail. Whenever God, in the Old Testament, changed someone's name, it was because He was giving them a great responsibility, and authority: Abram/Abraham, Sarai/Sarah, Jacob/Israel, etc. Jesus, changing Simon's name to Kepha (Aramaic for Rock), was proof that Jesus had chosen Kepha for a great responsibility. That responsibility was to lead His Church. Giving Kepha the keys to the kingdom of Heaven was prophesied in Isaiah 22, when King David gave his servant, Eli Akim, the keys to the kingdom. Eli Akim became King David's Al Habayith (Hebrew for _Over the House_), or Prime Minister "Whatever he shall open shall be opened, whatever he shall shut shall be shut_" Jesus told Kepha, "Whatever you shall bind on Earth shall be bound in Heaven. Whatever you shall loose on Earth shall be loosed in Heaven." Every first century Jew would have known exactly what Jesus was doing, by changing Simon's name to Kepha and giving him the keys to the kingdom of Heaven. Kepha, translated later, by Matthew, is now known as Peter. Peter was the first leader of Jesus' Church. The evidence is overwhelming. Peter, took on one of the the names by which the Al Habayith was known, "Papa," in Latin, Greek, and Italian. This is where the title "Pope" comes from.

⬇Learn, Jesus was "made" Messiah for political purposes of establishing order for Constantine I⬇ The Council of Nicaea was an ecumenical council of Christian bishops held in the city of Nicaea, in what is now modern-day Turkey, in the year 325 AD. The council was convened by the Roman Emperor Constantine I in order to resolve a number of theological controversies that had arisen within the Christian church, most notably the Arian controversy. The Arian controversy centered around the question of whether Jesus Christ was fully divine, or whether he was a created being. The Arian position held that Jesus was a created being, while the orthodox position held that Jesus was co-eternal and co-equal with God the Father. The Arian position, also known as Arianism, was a theological belief that emerged in the early Christian church, named after its founder, Arius of Alexandria. The Arians believed that Jesus Christ was a created being, rather than being co-eternal and co-equal with God the Father. Arius and his followers argued that, although Jesus was divine, he was not fully equal to God the Father. They believed that Jesus was the first and greatest of God's creations, but that he was not divine in the same sense as the Father. They saw Jesus as a kind of intermediary between God and humanity, rather than as an equal member of the Trinity. This belief was based on a particular interpretation of scripture, particularly passages that refer to Jesus as the "Son of God" and suggest that he was subordinate to the Father. The Arians believed that the term "Son of God" meant that Jesus was a created being, rather than being of the same substance as the Father. The Arian controversy was one of the most significant debates in early Christianity, and it was ultimately resolved in favor of the orthodox position at the Council of Nicaea, which affirmed that Jesus was co-eternal and co-equal with the Father. However, Arianism continued to be a significant theological belief among some groups of Christians for several centuries after the Council of Nicaea. At the Council of Nicaea, it was primarily the bishops who ruled in favor of the orthodox position that Jesus was co-eternal and co-equal with the Father. Among the most influential of these bishops were Alexander of Alexandria and his young deacon, Athanasius. The Emperor Constantine, who had convened the council, also supported the orthodox position and used his political influence to help enforce it. The Nicene Creed, which was adopted at the council, declared that Jesus was "begotten, not made" and was "of one substance with the Father". This creed became the standard of orthodox Christian belief on the nature of Jesus and has been widely accepted by Christians ever since. Establishing the orthodox point of view at the Council of Nicaea would have had several potential benefits for Emperor Constantine. Firstly, by promoting a unified understanding of Christianity, Constantine may have hoped to stabilize the empire and prevent religious divisions from leading to further conflict and instability. This was particularly important given that Christianity was becoming increasingly popular and influential in the empire, and disagreements over its core beliefs threatened to tear the community apart. Secondly, by aligning himself with the orthodox position, Constantine could have strengthened his political power and authority over the church. The emperor had long sought to exert control over the church and its leaders, and by supporting the orthodox position, he could position himself as a defender of true Christian doctrine and use this to strengthen his own authority. Finally, by establishing a clear and unified understanding of Christian doctrine, Constantine may have hoped to foster greater loyalty and support among the Christian population. Christianity was becoming increasingly important in the empire, and by aligning himself with the orthodox position, Constantine could have garnered greater support and legitimacy among Christian leaders and followers. Meaning, the Trinity is bologna. Man made creation for political power by the catholic church and Constantine the emperor. HASHEM IS ONE. PERIOD.
