What I’ve found is that everything the Reformers got correct, the Catholic Church also has. Just because Calvin quotes St. Augustine on predestination doesn’t mean anything special. We have the Augustinian and Thomistic traditions in the Church. Calvin departed completely by saying a true regenerated Christian can never fall away. Total innovation. Everything they got wrong is absent in the Fathers. The Fathers did not reject iconography for the same reason iconoclasts did. St Jerome believed the bishop to be distinct from a priest because he makes it clear several times that *only* a bishop can ordain. (I have a video on this) St. Augustine or any father saying “Scripture fixes the rule of our faith” or “Scripture is sufficient for XYZ” isn’t Sola Scriptura. Many modern Catholic theologians say this still, and I would sure hope they do. Communion in one kind (and its preservation after the service) was practiced early on to the sick and at times to the laity. Christ also gives communion in one kind in Luke 24, which the fathers said was the Eucharist. The Reformation does not hold well to the snowball example because now you have… multiple snowballs, which is concerning.

Sure, God could allow individual saints to teach falsehood or allow parts of the Church to accept some false opinion, but here we have an universal approval of a practise that is (according to you) verbatim rejected by the Word of God and all of the early Church. It seems clear to me that you have to reject either iconoclasm or guidence of the Holy Spirit.

@@JonBrase These two situations are not at all comparable: 1. Old Law did not have the same promises as did the New. For the Church, Jesus gave His Spirit, that will lead us to all truth, this was not done for the Jews. 2. Rejection of Jesus by Pharisees was not universal, as there were those, who accepted Jesus. 3. Even if all Pharisees rejected Jesus, they did not make up all of Israel, so this would still not be universal. Meanwhile, as far as I know iconodulia was part of every Christian church by the time of Protestant reformation. As for "Holy Spirit guides, but people don't always listen", it may apply on a smaller scale, where God allows parts of the Church to fall, but if all of orthodox Christianity just casually falls into idolatry and succesfully imposes it on all believers, then the promises of Christ are utterly void, because He clearly is either unwilling or unable to stop it. It specifically makes no sense under calvinism, where you cannot resist God's grace.

The issue most Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Christians have in their thinking of church history and the church fathers is that they can only support one side of the argument. For instance, I was in a Reformed Baptist’s live and there were two Catholics in chat. The two Catholics bring up the common critique of Protestantism, saying, “why were none of the church fathers Protestant?” When the Reformed Baptist correctly brought up some quotes of the fathers sharing Protestant beliefs, the only objection the Catholics in chat could conjure up was completely ignoring all the quotes provided and bringing up minuscule statements from the fathers that would point to them being slightly in line with Catholicism/ Eastern Orthodoxy. With said quotes, most of which being about Mary (which some Protestants wouldn’t even necessarily disagree with), the Catholics in chat just ignored the fact that Protestant ideas did, in fact, exist in the early church, and instead claimed they were all 100% Catholic/ Eastern Orthodox, therefore magically nullifying any blatantly Protestant ideas ever being held to by the fathers.

Tradition is a guide, in that it tells you what interpretations have seemed reasonable to others, and what interpretations have stood the test of time, but not an altogether reliable one, in that people, even (or perhaps especially) large groups of people can be wrong, and sometimes the only reason that an idea stands the test of time is that everybody assumes that there's a reason that it's survived so long. As far as the sacraments, whatever you believe about how they work, it is clear that they are commanded by Christ. And scripture does at least tell us something about them.
@user-dc7im7cy4vАй бұрын
I'd say that tradition should be treated with some level of weight-after all, this is a whole bunch of people who took the bible seriously who came to some conclusion-but not as seriously as what the actual texts of scripture say. In general, I treat my own theological tradition as something of a default, in that I think that, well, if these people agree with me in so much else with regard to the bible, they're probably right more likely than not in this case as well. But this isn't infallible or anything, and I'm happy to change my mind on that if convinced otherwise, if their reasoning doesn't seem to hold up. Applying this to the case you mentioned, there are a bunch of serious theologians with each of those views on the sacraments. And this is the case despite otherwise sharing a bunch of beliefs in common, and despite being aware of the views of the other side. That being the case, you have good reason to think that each side had reasons for their position worth taking seriously, looking into, and evaluating. But what ultimately matters and should determine things is what the scriptures say. All of the looking at theologians is just to help give more insight and things to consider as you go about trying your best to understand what God has revealed. Consider reading anything else. Let's say, the US constitution. If I look at what a bunch of legal experts say, well, that's probably a good default. If they're arguing over something, maybe they each have points on each sides, and I should check. If one group seems otherwise to agree with me in other contexts, maybe I should think they're more likely to be right in this context too. But what actually matters is what the document itself says.

Intiction is still communion under both types, the discussion is not necessarily about doctrine, but more on how to administrate the sacrament, unless the sides disagree about concomitance. And the early church would still give communion under only kind in some situations, lile babies and sick people. And even in Constance where the Catholic Church had the strongest law against communion under both kinds, the church still recognized the right of the eaatern churches to give under both kinds a few years later in Florence, and gave a dispensation to the Hussites who came back, as long as they affirmed the doctrine of concomitance, which was a dividing point between them.

To escape persecution from roman Catholics. That's why they brought the geneva bible with them. It's a very calvinist bible. It's sad, honestly. Maybe if roman Catholics didn't burn so many protestants at the stake, there wouldn't be so much tension between them.

Usually like your videos, but it misses one important thing: Matthew 16:18 If the church was in need of reform, purification, introduced heresy or went apostate-doesnt matter which one: just pick one-that means hell did prevail against Christs church in some sense. So who should be believed here?

@@Thatoneguy-pu8ty wrong. Those are Greek words. Christ would have used Aramaic so the word is Kephas or Cephas, meaning giant rock. Also, your explanation doesn't square with why Christ gave Peter the power to bind and loose or why He gave Peter keys, long standing emblems of authority (see Is 22:22)
@Thatoneguy-pu8tyАй бұрын
@@VictoriousCatholic The problem with your explanation is that the passage is written in Greek. So even though a translation might have a different meaning in a different language, it is not true to the meaning of the original text. If God wanted us to understand Peter as the rock of the church, then He would have preserved that meaning in the Greek. The idea of Peter having the keys refer to the fact that Peter will “open” the kingdom of heaven by teaching on Pentecost, thereby starting the church. Additionally, the verses in question in no way mention that Peter will have a successor, which is the claim made by the office of the Papacy.
@VictoriousCatholicАй бұрын
@@Thatoneguy-pu8ty was Greek spoken in that area or could Peter have understood Greek? No to both. Keys are symbols of authority and there is no part of Peter doing what you're claiming. Wasn't a successor to Judas chosen? Wouldnt it make sense to choose one for Peter when the time came?

@@VictoriousCatholic yes. Biblical scholars agree that Jews were multilingual in the time of Christ. When you say there is “no part of Peter doing what you’re claiming” I assume you are stating that Peter did not preach at Pentecost, he did. It’s in Acts 2.

Probably the biggest debate point that Orthodoxy should engage with is the idea of development of doctrine, which he's 100% in agreement with Catholicism on as he stated. Neumann was a huge dev doctrine guy. It's a really weird (or more directly, erroneous) take from an Eastern POV that theology 'improves' over time. I appreciate him delineating this because at a root level this probably is the basis of a ton of things that Protestants & Catholics believe that Orthodox reject.

I would highly recommend as a must-have to buy and read *Jesus of Nazareth* 's trilogy that Pope Benedict XVI wrote during his pontificate's spare time, which he quoted: *" This book is ... my personal search 'for the face of the Lord' "* . All three books together consist of 876 pages (depending on the publishing editor groups). The first book of 374 pages, plus 22 with abbreviations, index and particularly long introduction, was completed on September 30, 2006, and first released, printed and copyrighted early in 2007. The book is steeped with Scripture passages, historical notes and several theological scholars' references. The detailed introduction explains how an indispensable tool the historical-critical method is, but adds several points the dimension and the limits of exegesis have to always keep in mind. Moreover, it makes clearly to the reader how the theological development from the 1950s onward created "a gap" between the "historical Jesus" and the "Christ of faith", as it grew wider and the two visibly fell apart. "As historical-critical scholarship advanced, it led to finer and finer distinctions between layers of tradition in the Gospels, beneath which the real object of faith --- the figure [ _Gestalt_ ] of Jesus --- became increasingly obscured and blurred. If you read a number of these reconstructions one after the other, you see at once that far from uncovering an icon that has become obscured over time, they are much more like photographs of their authors and the ideals they hold. Since then there has been growing skepticism about these portrayals of Jesus, but the figure of Jesus himself has for that very reason receded even further into the distance." As the Editors eloquently wrote on the outside loose-leaf: "In this bold, momentous work, the Pope --- in his first book written as Pope Benedict XVI --- seeks to savage the person of Jesus from recent "popular" depictions and to restore Jesus' true identity as discovered in the Gospels. Through his brilliance as a theologian and his personal conviction as a believer, the Pope shares a rich, compelling, flesh-and-blood portrait of Jesus and incites us to encounter, face-to-face, the central figure of the Christian faith."

Wait, Calvinism? The way Calvin understood predestination is definitely not in line with the Early Church or Scripture really! The traditional understanding of predestination, especially before and outside of Calvin's influence, often emphasized God’s foreknowledge rather than a deterministic decree. The traditional view, held by many early church fathers like Origen, Justin Martyr, and even Augustine in his earlier writings, posits that God predestines individuals based on His foreknowledge of how they will respond to His grace. God, being omniscient, knows the future choices of every individual-whether they will accept or reject the Gospel-and His election is seen as a response to this knowledge, not an arbitrary decree. Calvin’s teaching on predestination was seen as radical and controversial, even among some Reformers, because it appeared to undermine human responsibility and free will. Many branches of Protestantism later re-emphasized a synergistic understanding of salvation and returned to the idea of conditional election based on God’s foreknowledge.

Studying other belief systems should not necessarily lead to abandon or repudiate one's own faith, especially the Christian one, but could instead fortify your own and make you rather critical to rather start studying your own better. When you wrote about the commandments, especially mentioning the first one, it doesn't certainly forbid one to have *knowledge* of other religions. The commandment only states and remind to be faithful to your God there, and it is addressed to His chosen people of Israel, does it not? Jesus knew well what the Torah and the Prophets implied, didn't he? There only is ONE God, thus if other religions still pray to an unknown God who still is the Supreme Being and Creator of everything, there are good chances that they also glimpse some rays of truth, as a document called *_Nostra Aetate_* makes it clear. Why did you associate acquiring *knowledge* with "masochism"? The only thing it comes to mind is that studying requires a lot of time and patience from one, as also will and effort. PAX CHRISTI 😇
