Zwingli: *the only major reformer who was a memorialist* Catholics and Orthobros: Look at what all Protestants believe

[@zachsmith8916]

I mean even that’s not really true. Zwingli had a much more nuanced view than simple memorialism. He really believed that Christ was present through the Holy Spirit. He obviously doesn’t believe in physical presence because he believed Christ was physically reining in Heaven but he saw it as an act of communion with Christ or as a spiritual meal with Him rather than consuming him.

[@harrygarris6921]

@@zachsmith8916 well both Martin Luther and John Calvin, who themselves believed in something less than the Catholic understanding of “real presence” didn’t see Zwingli as believing in a “real presence”. At some point an empty claim is an empty claim. It doesn’t really matter what you claim to believe if your actions illustrate that you really believe the opposite.

[@zachsmith8916]

@@harrygarris6921 I never called it “real” presence but it’s not simply memorialist either. As someone who’s actually read a bit of Zwingli I would point out that Zwingli believed that the Holy Spirit was active but not physically present in communion. My point is that there is actually a difference in a simple memorialist position and a truly Zwinglian one. He doesn’t just say it’s a memorial he literally believes that you’re doing something with Christ just something different than Luther or Calvin who believed they were consuming Christ in some way.

[@harrygarris6921]

@@zachsmith8916 right but if you’re not consuming Christ, then the eating of Christ’s body and blood is not a sacrifice. Since a sacrifice requires eating. So the Eucharist becomes an entirely different thing if Christ isn’t present in it. It’s great that he believed the Holy Spirit was active in the communion in some way but the Holy Spirit is supposed to be active in everything that the church is doing so what does that even mean? This is why Martin Luther accused Zwingli of having a milquetoast theology when it comes to sacraments and that doesn’t really believe in anything.

[@zachsmith8916]

@@harrygarris6921 My main point is that it’s inappropriate to say he’s just a memorialist when he wasn’t. I never claimed that he was a sacramentalist either. Not being a memorialist doesn’t make one a sacramental theologian. Given Luther’s disposition towards those who disagreed with him it’s not surprising he thought what he did. For the record I don’t disagree that a Zwinglian view isn’t something different my issue is that most non Zwinglians call us mere memorialist when that really isn’t the main thrust of our theology. You only come out saying we’re just memorialist if you operate within Lutheran paradigms which Zwingli clearly didn’t.

[@AntiAzovIndividual]

Not all non denominational/evangelical churches are like that either :/ Edit: didn’t mean to start an argument, but I also want to clear up what I said, I too can find them overwhelming or missing the point entirely *but* at least some that I’ve seen are pretty humble in architecture or just use hotels. The bigger the church is, and how much it is or resembles a mega church, the more it usually misses lots of stuff/becomes too cooperate).

Not all Orthodox would confess that, actually. Outside the super trad orthobro community most of them are pretty relaxed.

Orthodoxy does view Lutherans as outside of the true church. However, the general Orthodox doctrine is that we know where the Holy Spirit is present (the Orthodox church) but we can't say for certain where it's not present. Matthew 7:21 - it isn't our job to think about who will or won't be saved. We focus on only our own repentence and walk with God.

[@5BBassist4Christ]

Outside Protestantism, the view of anathema is actually quite different. To Protestants, an anathema is a condemnation to hell and a proclamation that the said person is a heretic who is not saved at all. To modern Catholics and Orthodox, anathema is basically an excommunication from the Church. Which, is I guess another thing to be addressed. To Protestants, all Christians who are saved are part of the Church that Jesus Christ established. To Catholics and Orthodox, only their church is the Church. Some would say Protestants and the other can be saved, but they are strictly not part of the Apostolic Church (and by Apostolic Church, they mean their tradition). So in a nutshell, to Protestants, an anathema is an excommunication from Christ and the Church Universal (or Invisible Church), which means they are a heretic who is not saved. But to Catholics and Orthodox, anathema is an excommunication from the Church, -and by the Church, they mean their branch of Christianity, in which sense a person may still be saved, but not be a part of the Church (or Visible Church, -their view of the Visible Church). So it might sound like an anathema or excommunication is stronger in Protestantism than Catholicism or Orthodoxy, and yes, it is. It is stronger in the same way that racism and sexism is stronger to conservatives than it is to liberals. Because Catholics and Orthodox have to excommunicate everybody and say they're not part of "The Apostolic Church", it waters down the meanings of heresy, anathema, and excommunication, but because the Protestants try to refrain from anathematizing people who disagree with them, these terms have stronger weight to them. P.S. Examples from every Protestant denomination can be found thinking other people are heretics who are going to hell, but most Protestants (particularly of the Evangelical type) would be more relaxed on this. There are also some Catholic/Orthodox tradition that do also condemn everybody else to hell too.

As I understand it, the reason why Catholics came to withhold the wine during the Eucharist was as a consequence of the doctrine of transubstantiation: if you believe that the wine has been turned into the physical blood of Christ, then to spill it would be the gravest sacrilege. This is also why there was a practice of the priest consuming the remaining elements after the Eucharist was distributed (which introduces obvious problems when concerning alcoholic beverages).

[@ogloc6308]

First of all, first reply is correct. You should ask your pastor if they can give you gluten free unleavened bread during communion. Second of all, your salvation doesn’t hinge on communion. Many denominations might disagree but we are saved by grace through faith. Communion is a spiritual experience and we are commanded to obey it but ultimately communion is not what saves you. You should still participate in communion but try and see if you can get some gluten free bread. I’m not very familiar with that disease so i don’t know how detrimental a small piece of bread can be

@@ogloc6308 thank you for your answer. It is an autoimmune disease. The smallest amount of wheat causes antibodies to destroy the villi of my intestines. If this happens, I can’t absorb nutrients.

Hey, Zoomer, hope you're well! Just wanted to leave a comment regarding non-denominational churches, and your feelings towards them: For context, I'm Reformed Anglican, and I have visited many non-denominational churches where Bible teaching is misused or neglected (ie. female pastors, disorderly prophesying or tongues, worshiptainment, etc.) I feel like their leadership may have some heart for God, but are acting in terrible foolishness neglecting tradition and communion with fellow believers to hold them accountable. These are churches where even the elders feel like they are fed on and feeding spiritual milk not solids, and missing out on the richness of the faith. *However* I have encountered the same in denominational churches - I particularly recall a Methodist pastor referring to God as "heavenly parent" so as not to offend anyone with a bad father (according to him), and nobody within his denomination had called him to account. Furthermore, I have encountered non-denominational churches that exercise a high degree of wisdom and regard for history and tradition (I've seen Polycarp and Chrysostom quoted), including confessions of faith much in line with classic Protestant confessions despite no official membership, affiliation or communion with them. My point is this: denominationalism does not guarantee sound doctrine. There is wisdom in community and historic grounding, but like abuse is possible in denominational and non-denominational alike, so too are wisdom and sound, historical doctrine possible in denominational and non-denominational alike. God bless you, brother! Keep up the good fight!

Thank you for this, Zoomer's ignorance in this area is really quite disappointing, and his attitude is really bad for Christianity.

I think your criticism of the GMC shows a misunderstanding of UMC polity and the situation in the UMC in the USA. There is no viable way to discipline bishops that are going against church teaching, so there has been a lesbian bishop installed and no-one can do anything about it since the progressives have majorities in America. Once these progressive bishops are installed, they replace your conservative pastor with a progressive one compulsorily who teaches heresy and runs your church into the ground, nothing you can do about it, then that property is lost to faithful gospel witness. Much better to disaffiliate now because for a limited time they're letting you take your property with you, so you can have your historical building and maintain biblical teaching.

[@maxxiong]

About being part of the visible church thing: would you question someone's salvation if they attend the salvation army, or some other assembly that does not do communion (incidentally I have heard a non-denom pastor speculate that the church at Ephesus in Rev 2 stopped practicing communion)? Similarly, would you question someone's salvation if they go to some sort of parachurch ministry like a campus fellowship but not church itself?

[@QseftJohn]

Honestly, I believe that we shouldn't place too much care into the looks of a building. If a church as a nice building but doesn't have enough money to reach the world or help what is the point? Also with the economic downturn, I would be surprised is churches ended up down sizing just to survive.

[@lunagrace2872]

I think there is balance. God loves art and understands it value in life. We and angels other then God seems to only be able to make art that has meaning. So art seems to be a special gift to us. God loves true beauty and how art, music… can give people prospective and different ways to understand God himself. But I think the intention are what make a difference. If people are making beautiful church to give honor to God and allow others to see the craftsmen of his people if financial viable then it’s has its purpose. But to make a beautiful church for ego or to show off to other church’s and denomination isn’t right. Most of the money should go back to helping people but using some of the money to create beautiful church is also right. But a beautiful church isn’t necessary but it’s a product of our natural instinct to make something beautiful that is special to us like God himself.

A Church doesn’t have to be expensive to be beautiful. Just a stone Church with stained glass, a nice altar and a few icons works well.

I think it worthy to mention that communion under one kind was due to practical reasons. For example, one of the reasons listed in the Council of Trent for communion under one kind in the Latin church was that large quantities of wine might be too expensive or hard to obtain

[@jdotoz]

The specific command to "do this" was given to the Apostles, and in the current age this is carried on by absolutely requiring the priest to consume both species during the Mass. But there is ample evidence of Communion in only one species being administered to the faithful for various reasons going back to at least the third century. In fact, back then it was often the reverse of what RZ complains of. It was an ancient practice to give Communion to infants (which persists in the East today, and as an aside I wish the West would resume it), but back then infants would only be given to drink of the chalice. When, in the same time period, Communion was brought to the sick outside of Mass, they received only in the species of bread.

[@pedroguimaraes6094]

He can’t speak for every church, but far too many evangelical churches think communion is just a symbol and don’t even take it every week, baptism is just a symbol of faith, have contempt for the ancient traditions of the church, etc. And this attitude that “real” Christianity was lost for years and only reestablished in modern times has more in common with Mormonism than Protestantism.

After the soviets tried and failed to completely suppress/subvert the church through a combination of executions and restorationist nonsense (think 20th century marxists being put in charge of the church by the government) stalin brought it back in force for patriotic purposes during WW2, but continued subverting and downplaying it as it suited him. Every hierarch was essentially forced to become a double agent in order to serve the church publically, flee Russia entirely and form synods in resistance (which is how the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, ROCOR was founded) or go underground into the proverbial catacombs risking life and limb to serve their flocks (which happened A LOT, there are dozens if not hundreds of martyr saints venerated for doing it). The subversion continued under khrushchev, carried on more or less until gorbachov and co. lightened up a bit, and then the soviets collapsed entirely "freeing" the church (read: new management, ala putin, who while tyrannical doesn't try to persecute the church out of existence). The current patriarch as of 2023 is a former KGB double agent, who was, if I'm being charitable, forced to inform for the soviet government or not be allowed to serve at all in the above-ground church. I definitely simplified and skipped over things, but that's the general gist of it. ROCOR and the Moscow Patriarchate reunified in the early 2000s, so that's nice.

The Catholic church wasnt called the pornocracy in the middle ages, it is a term coined by protestant historians in the 19th century and the only source backing this is a contemporary kardinal who was personally invested in the power ruling families of Rome held in the city of Rome. To keep it short, it is a huge leap to state it as a fact and to refer to it as in the middle ages is misleading since it covers a period of only 60 years.

[@cementplant3441]

For your first point: While I agree that we can't judge an entire tradition by the beliefs of a small handful, the amount of Catholics that worship anyone but the Trinity, or believe the Pope is more divine than any normal man, is just that, a very small handful. The amount of Prods that speak along the lines of your quote "Its just me and my Bible, I don't care what the Church Fathers say." is a large large portion, maybe closer to half of prods here in the US at least. I know Lutherans, Methodists, Baptists, diet Baptists (nondenoms), Presbyterians (liberal ones to be fair), and Pentecostals that all speak along those lines. Lutherans (the group I'm the most familiar with) differ very very much depending on the individual church. Their synods sort of just double check every once in a while that they're all on at least mostly the same page. There is not a direct set of doctrine aside from Luther's catechism and honestly those points are heavily debated and believed in varying degrees between Lutherans. For your second point: The Sacraments/Holy Mysteries are all biblical and directly administered to the clergy by Christ Himself. He baptized to cleanse Original Sin, He heard confessions and forgave sins and gave the Apostles the power to do the same, He instituted the priesthood, Communion/Eucharist, Confirmation, Extreme Unction, and Marriage between one man and one woman. They're all traditions instituted by Christ, and in every single prod denomination, they fail to observe all seven. Lutherans recognize two or three, and they have the most. Apostolic succession is ancient and gives a given Church direct ties to Christ through his apostles. There isn't a single protestant denomination that recognizes the importance of that tradition either. Protestants do not observe all of Church Tradition and in fact reject much of it directly. For your third point: Mainline denominations are definitely overwhelmingly liberal, and as an Eastern Catholic, I'd agree they dance on heresies beyond being out of Communion with The Church. They are overwhelmingly unbiblical, anti Christian, and unfortunately a terrible place for Christians to find themselves. There are some conservative offshoots that have sprung up recently to maintain their correct doctrine, and represent a small minority overall, sadly. While its true that Pope Francis is absolutely the most liberal Pope ever seen before, there is a dramatic uprising in Catholic churches to adhere to tradition. The Traditional Latin Mass, and faithful who change Rites to Eastern Catholicism, like me, are becoming more and more common every year. The conservative movement in the world of Protestantism is shrinking, which makes me very sad. The future for prod denominations looks bleak. For your fourth point: The True Church is the Church founded by Christ through Saint Peter. Leaving communion with that Church (which absolutely still exists) is to definitionally deny His institution for personal beliefs. His instituted Church on Earth follows everything Christ commanded of His Church. To deny that Church is to deny the commands of Christ. We uphold everything He created and maintain it until His return. The pope's seat as the Bishop of Rome is descended from Peter. To deny these fundamentals in any capacity is denying Christ. This isn't a collection of beliefs that are malleable, this is a concrete collection of Christ's and His Apostles' works 2000 years ago. For your fifth point: To leave the original and true Church behind for any reason aside from repairing it from within is exactly analogous to your issues with conservative protestants running away from mainline churches to create their own instead of remaining in place to repair the damage done. We could have a Lutheran Rite, a Presbyterian Rite, etc if those with alternative traditions wished to remain in communion with the original Church. The variation between my Byzantine Church, the Roman Rite Church, and the Maronite Church is astounding. We have very different traditions but remain in communion together for the sake of upholding the True Church that Christ established. The way things are going currently within the Latin Rite, its looking like its possible that the new "mainline" Novus Ordo mass attendees may eventually have their own Rite within the Latin Church. We could have a Latin Rite and a Roman Rite to represent the traditional Latin Mass and the new school Novus Ordo Mass parishioners. Most Churches would remain a part of the Roman Rite, but just as they already exist now, the Latin Mass specific churches would just take on the title of Latin Rite, or Tridentine Rite, or whatever they'd choose. Provided the Pope allows that, of course. Its common for the Catholic Church to just form a new Rite to allow people to remain in Communion and keep their own traditions.

I believe non-denominational churches reflect the geographic location and society. I have had the fortune of traveling the world and attending churches in many regions. My home church is non denominational, small, and in an old church building built in the early 1900s. This is in central Pennsylvania and I am sure that the small town has something to do with it's conservative basis. If you want to reference the degrees of conservative that redeemed has discussed, it would be a 2/3 on his scale and is Arminian. We sit on pews and have 2 services, one where you sing hymns, and the other is contemporary(not a full band though), but both services are the same sermon. We have one church in this town that falls into a lot of the stereotypes that it seems most you have seen. Oddly for me, I have witnessed far more traditional non denoms than contemporary. My first experience in a Lutheran church was that it was a slightly more contemporary version of what I am used to. My experiences in big cities have been... unfortunately, far more liberal non denominational churches with the multimedia presentation and such... I think the liberal mentality of the population seeps into the churches in these locations. I am not a person who agrees with being tied to a denomination, however I can absolutely see the need for them, to try and give a consistent representation no matter the location. However, like redeemed said, it seems like the denominational conservatives need to recapture the church, since a lot are veering from the original slate.

One of the major issues is that over 70% of Protestants belong to radical non-denominational and Baptist churches. As a result, MOST Protestants do not place a significant emphasis on tradition.

[@kriegjaeger]

"Evangelical" is a meaningless term like "Right wing" or "Left wing". Mostly it's used for "Those people I don't like" and occasionally "My side" but usually if people try to sit down and define it, there's no clear attributes. For instance, people who take the bible as literal where it's meant to be literal will be called by theological liberals as "Evangelical". But people who consider a relationship with God the most important aspect of worship will be called by those who value tradition higher "Evangelical". Basically if they don't like you and you aren't liberal, the slur is "evangelical".

[@ardensvirens]

Historically, no. In the modern United States, generally yes. The term goes back to the Reformation (Lutherans in Germany are known as the "Evangelical Church", and all Prots are "evangelical", meaning "spreading the 'evangelion" or "good news" of the Gospel of Christ). In the US, Baptists and "Non-denoms" did the groundwork in the late-19th and 20th centuries, so now it's the cultural "default" if you're not Roman Catholic but still Christian.

My Baptist church ironically has Presbyterian members. Since there’s practically no conservative Presbyterian churches where I’m at in Indiana! 😳

@@redeemedzoomer6053 have you ever looked into and commented on the "Politics of American churches & religions in one graph"?

8:47 Most of the individualistic "solo scripta" mentality is just a branch of American exceptionalism. The levelling tactic is "only God can judge me" as a way to dodge criticism, and you'll see it most in the Southern States where Southern Baptist is predominant

Dr. Craig is a Weslyan which continues the remonstant Protestant tradition. So broadly Arminian, and coming out of the Methodist Church, but he is still a traditional Protestant. Just for clarity I am a Presbyterian (EPC) by conviction, but Dr. Craig played a large part in my returning to the faith and I think it's unfair to say he's not a traditional Protestant.

5:05 this is merely practical and many still offer communion in both kinds. But either is the whole and indivisible Christ, and thus the body itself is sufficient. This is not a superstitious practice.
