Thank you for making this series

As an Orthodox I'm excited to see more protestants like I was reading the Holy Fathers. Their writings and councils in the Holy Spirit enlighten the Scriptures and teach us the faith they received. So much confusion exists because of neglecting God's Saints.

I know it’s been over a year since you posted this, but as a Protestant- I FULLY AGREE. We become far too narrow minded on understanding not just scripture, but Church as a historical body as well…

As an Orthodox Christian, this series delights me. 🤗

Spot on, thank God that he didn't leave us comfortless or as orphans.

I do not disagree with the content of the video. But was definitely let down by the title. I was expecting more Patristic father quotes, writings and teachings. And all I heard from the patristic sources was Ignatius. The title would be better called "A brief Biblical defense for continuation, with quotes from Ignatius and Aquinas. Still a good video I just was looking for more In depth discussion on Apostolic and patristic Era Father's views on continuation or cessation, while I'm building a deck

Shalom. Spiritual gifts are just icing on the cake. Listen, listen, to the cries of Heavenly Father n Yeshua in the bible.

Spot on. The truth can’t be held back by men’s own theology and what they don’t like about scriptural truths.

Awesome teaching, I cannot comprehend how some Christians are confused on such clear subject UNTILL

Really like this video. Very encouraging and motivating to grow closer.

Wonderful talk!

The website says the series was slated for February, but it doesn't look like it's up yet. Is there a new ETA?

I experience this and it is true.

i love this

Appreciate all this good information, thank you. I don't get why all speakers are now taught to speak as though they are excited all the time. It takes too much energy to listen to for extended periods of time and is unnatural. My daughter has a PhD in physics and occasionally called on to do speeches. Her UC at one point called in a top speech coach and gave the six best speakers a one on one lesson; so she has been taught the same enthusiastic way.

Thank you for your faithfulness to God's word. There is one thing that is not correct. Knowledge of course does not vanish, but the Gift of knowledge. 1Co 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. Please note that he does not say Gift of tongues. People will still communicate in heaven, but it is the Gift he speaks of concerning tongues. So it is with Knowledge. God bless.

Chrysostum wrote that the charismatic gifts had ceased king before his time in the year 400

What did Chrysostom say ??

What should we add to the Bible ??

I do believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit but have been listening to a preacher who is a "secessionist" and so I had a question in my heart. Not long after, I saw a kind of vision! Yes! A vision. Before me was a person's finger and then I had an impression that went somewhat like this. "If a person gets a cut on their finger does it remain forever? Well no....the cut "heals." And if the cut is severe and requires stitches, even after this severe cut and stitches, the "cut still heals!" An example...years ago my best friend, who taught me to play guitar in my teens, had a small furniture repair business. Occasionally, he had to use a band saw to make a repair and by accident sawed a 3/4 inch portion off the end of his left index finger! He took the piece of finger wrapped in cloth to local emergency and the doctor sewed back-on with the request..."Please angle it forward so I can still play guitar."...It healed! and he still played his guitar until he passed away! Fact... unless their is very some unusual physical impediment...everyone in the world who gets a cut or is severely injured receives "healing" to this very day! Apparently, our Father is not a secessionist!! Doesn't even show respect to humanity inside or outside the church! To the secessionist..."Did God sin by healing my friend's finger or does he sin by healing anyone in the world today?" "I am Yahweh rapha." The LORD who heals you.

Why do you think God would give you a vision showing you healing that is already covered in the Bible? I've never had a dream or vision that I would attribute to God but then again I read my Bible daily and it is sufficient for everything I need. I can't imagine craving dreams or visions and insulting God by telling him " your word isn't enough I need sings and visions " YIKES....good luck with that

Matthew wrote.. the risen Jesus met the disciples only on a mountain in Galilee, but Luke says.. he met them at a meal in Jerusalem on the very evening of his resurrection, after which he took them on the road to Bethany, where he rose bodily to heaven. Meanwhile, John’s was loosely based on Luke but contains elaborations of Luke’s account, including two meals in Jerusalem and a later meeting by the Sea of Galilee. Mark originally ended his story at verse 16:8, with no evidence of the risen Jesus.. scholars have concurred that the ‘Long Ending’ verses 16:9-20, which corrobate somewhat with Luke’s account, was added much later. Even for the birth of Jesus, there are contradictory accounts.. Luke's infancy narrative is not only massively different from Matt's, but also in details, e.g., about Joseph and Mary's home (in Bethlehem in Matt 2:11; in Nazareth in Luke 2:4-7, with no home in Bethlehem) and about their travels after the birth of Jesus (to Egypt in Matt 2:14; to Jerusalem and Nazareth in Luke 2:22,39)Let us be neutral and look at this objectively, without Bias and without any racism. Without pre-conceptions. Completely neutral with our intellectual cup the right side up, because if it was upside down, nothing, no matter how profound, will go into the intellectual cup. Question: Did you ever question yourself that the Gospels by Mark, Luke, Matthew, and John have no last names? In court or in your passport or driving license, do you not have your last name? How valid is a document without any last name to give it validity? Second: Jesus spoke Aramaic. The name for God in Aramaic is Elah. Please look it up. Muslims say Allah. Third: Did the mother of Jesus or Jesus himself claim he is god or the son of god? Fourth: Muslims love Jesus and Mother Mary more than lip-service Christians. Why? Muslims keep a beard and they prostrate in praying to One God Almighty as Jesus did. Muslim women wear a head-cover called hijab like Mother Mary. They do not eat pork like just like Mother Mary or Jesus. Fifth: If Christians claim that you will only be saved if you believe in Jesus, them what about other prophets like Moses and Abraham and Jacob and Job, and other good people before Jesus was born? Will they go to hell? Certainly not. Bible in its original form must have been profound. It still has many, many good lessons. But it has been tampered with,.no orginals for manuscripts that`s what priests had admitted in addition many scholars including bart ehrman who was orginally christian,the original bible should be written in an aramic which is is basic language of jesus,jesus never bring the bible,the authors of bibles never contemporary to jesus,nomenclature of bibles by authors means bible is man made,how often does bible revised,peace,hope i helped,please read first before it`s too late&don`t biased to catechism,u are a christian because jesus gonna holds up your sins which not even written bible exactly like trinity,about time to know the truth.peace

This video barely addressed the topic in the title. Your examples from the church fathers are few and debatable. Ignatius spoke spiritual truth. That isn't prophesy in the same sense as when Elijah or Agabus predicted droughts. Also, the quote from Thomas Aquinas is clearly an historical reference to the apostolic age. Your reference to Augustine was so quick that I didn't even catch what he's supposed to have said. I'm assuming these are your strongest examples? Obviously, the spiritual gifts were practiced in the apostolic age. The controversial question is whether the practice of speaking in tongues happened anywhere in church history after the apostolic age and before the Azuza St. revival in 1908. If there were any evidence showing that the answer is "yes," then certainly one of these enthusiasts would have found it by now.

There are some nuggets of decent arguments here, but the vast majority of statements here are just non sequiturs. Passionate non sequiturs, but non sequiturs nonetheless. I'd rather seem him debate someone so he'd get to his actual core arguments instead of sophistically grandstand. I especially take issue with his characterization of cessationism as originated in Enlightenment thought. While I'll grant that perhaps that's true for some, the major stream of cessationists, the Reformed, originate far earlier than the Enlightenment..

Why does the Trinity not appear in the Bible?peace,

The Bible encourages everyone to work out their salvation with 'fear and trembling' knowing that all liars will have their place in the lake of fire. Soberingly, Jesus also said that many will try to enter heaven, but only a few will make it, only a few! The question is, how do you know that you are among the few? Jesus said, "Whoever believes in Me..." Let's stop right there. If you want assurance of eternal life, pray that you do not miss this! The difference between heaven and hell is found in these next words! Referring to the Holy Spirit, Jesus said, "Whoever believes in Me shall have rivers of living water bubbling up inside of him (John 7.38)." Do you know the Holy Spirit? Does the Holy Spirit bear witness with your spirit that you are a child of God (Romans 8.16)? If you do not know the Lord, you will spend all of forever in torment beyond your worst nightmare. There are prisons on earth where people are being brutally tortured and those in hell wish they could go there! Christ died on a Cross so that, just by asking, we may know Him. The Bible states that if you want eternal life, ask God for a hunger to read the Bible and for understanding of what you read. Does John 7.38 apply to you or will the Lord say to you, on that great and terrible day, "Depart from me; I never KNEW you"? If you want eternal life, do not place your trust in a church, a pastor, or even your own opinion. As it is written, "If you lack wisdom, ask of the Father." Jesus Christ is the light of the world

@@lufhopespeacefully2037 Just this past Sunday, the preacher at my church talked about Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox. My take on his sermon was that it is like the game of 'Telephone,' where a message gets garbled as it is passed along. That is, I look at the Word of God. I do not identify as a Protestant, but as a disciple of Christ - according to what Jesus and the rest of the Bible said. The first order of business is, who can I trust to lead me into all the truth? My options are to trust my own understanding, to trust others (say, a father, the pope, or a priest), or to do what Jesus said: "Call no man teacher, for you have one teacher, even God." He said, "The Holy Spirit will lead you into all the truth." The Bible also says, "If anyone of you lacks wisdom, ask the Pope"??? No! We are to ask of the Father, who will give us wisdom generously. Paul wrote that if anyone preaches a different gospel they should be accursed. I read the Bible, trusting the Holy Spirit to teach me from the Word. If you are trusting others, remember the words of Christ, "Shall the blind lead the blind? I tell you that both shall fall into a ditch." That 'ditch' is eternal hell with untold suffering. I do not want you to go there! Christ died on a Cross so that He may be our Lord, our friend, our teacher! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

For example, if an author does not mentions Bethlehem or Nazareth, that is not contradictory. It would be a contradiction, for example, if Matthew claimed that Christ never lived in Nazereth. Moreover, are you claiming that no last names makes the gospels invalid because last names are needed on passports?

If God is the moral authority of the universe, then you are in big trouble, as you have no doubt lied, stolen, disrespected God, etc. You will live forever. You are an immortal soul. Yet, if you stand before God in your sins, then you are not fit for heaven, but to be cast outside with other lying thieves. Hell is torment and it lasts forever.
