Bruh chances are your teacher wouldn't accept the answers given at the video unless it's a very specific Graduate test about History of the Church, or if you are in a confessional Calvinist/Lutheran school.

He is just being consistent. The Baptist tradition did not come from the reformation, they came later from the Anglican church.

He is Reformed, so I don't think he would intentionally make up something like that. I surmise that people of the frontiersmen persuasion were more attracted to simplicity than elegance.

[@carlosjennings7707]

@@BoScotty Anglicans and Presbyterians have organized governing bodies and scholastic traditions. People moved faster than those governing bodies, and in the 2-3 generations after the Revolutionary War, many Anglicans and Presbyterians converted to Baptist/Methodist/Restorationist churches. Those more low-church bodies (Baptist, Methodist, Restorationist) stressed church autonomy, individual choice and a rejection (or de-emphasis) of confessional statements of faith. Those tendencies played very well on the frontier. Anglicans and Presbyterians still increased in absolute terms, but shrank in relative terms, with their presence especially diminished in rural areas. Australia is the perfect counterpoint, since they didn't really have a frontier. In Australia, Anglicanism and Presbyterians have always been much larger than Baptists/Methodists/Restorationist churches. Amazingly, early US censuses captured this transformation. The University of Richmond catalogued these maps, which snapshot denominational concentrations across the 18th/19th centuries. dsl.richmond.edu/historicalatlas/

All protestants have a literal view of Scripture. The difference is that some are ok using deductive inferences from it (historical protestants) while somes don't (usually Baptist). As the Westminster Confession of Faith chapter 1 says: "The whole counsel of God, concerning all things necessary for His own glory, man’s salvation, faith, and life, is either expressly set down in Scripture, or by good and necessary consequence may be deduced from Scripture: unto which nothing at any time is to be added, whether by new revelations of the Spirit, or traditions of men."

[@pedroguimaraes6094]

@@charles21137 Thats true, thats why their exegesis is inconsistent. They don't want to use inferences with topics like "Infant Baptism", or "sacraments as means of grace" because, according to them, that would contradicit Sola Scriptura, but they accept doctrines like the Trinity and Hipostatic Union that are based on inferences from Scripture. Jesus himself used the OT Scripture to make inferences is in His response to the Sadducees in Matthew 22:31-32. The Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection, so they questioned Jesus to challenge this doctrine. Jesus responded by quoting Exodus 3:6, where God says, “I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Jesus then explains that God “is not the God of the dead, but of the living,” making the inference that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were alive with God, thus supporting the resurrection.

I understand why you generalized baptists and put them over on the "not part of the reformation" side but I'm one of your Baptist listeners here to remind you that there were two separate streams that created what we now call baptist. There was the ana baptist tradition deriving from Meno Simons, and then there was the particular baptist tradition born out of the reformed tradition from the Chruch of England Puritan movement. Would be great if you acknowledged this during these types of videos. 1689 LBC fellas are a big part of the Baptist tradition and do value scripture, reason and tradition greatly.

He won’t acknowledge Reformed Baptists/Particular Baptists because it’s his way to be ignorant to the truth. If he starts to acknowledge them as brothers in the reformed tradition, he would start to see the holes in his theological convictions. So, he chooses to group reformed brothers as not reformed as a way stay ignorant. He’ll consider modern Lutherans (which some still hold to reformed truths) as more reformed than reformed baptists because Lutherans get their babies wet (not seen in the Bible) and reformed baptists who submerge professing believers (seen in the Bible). It’s ok, the gospel unites! One day we will all worship God together and this animosity towards other brothers will come to an end.

[@pedroguimaraes6094]

What you said is true. Sometimes I think that RZ has a big grudge against the Baptists because they use the name "Reformed" and this hinders his objectivity. That said, we need to recognize that Baptists, even Particulars, adhered to many ideas that were rejected by reformers, such as credobaptism. It is a mixture of ideas from magisterial reform and radical reform. It would not be honest to say that they are traditional or historic Protestants.

[@joshuareeves5103]

@@pedroguimaraes6094 I would disagree with this. I don't quite understand where you feel the need to draw the line. Every tradition has differences. Just because Baptist's held to ideas rejected by others isn't surprising. It wouldn't be it's own tradition if it agreed with everyone. The reformed tradition adhered to many ideas that were rejected by Lutherans. This doesn't delegitimize it's roots in the protestant reformation. The credo Baptist perspective isn't about radical reform but trying to return to the apostolic deposit. Calvin himself believed we moved toward pedobaptism from credobaptism in the early church despite himself believing in pedobaptism.

[@kristianrodriguez4676]

Well the Catholic Church doesn’t say that Mary is essential for Salvation. The church teaches that without Jesus there is no other way. Just not that you can have faith alone, and then disobey God in every other aspect of your life and expect that he’ll give you the gift of grace and salvation (which is never EARNED).

Dude I appreciate all the work you put into this video and sources!! I have recently come back to Jesus after being raised catholic and finished my first read through the bible over this past year. I thought this would bring further enlightenment to the subject of my purpose. And it has, however, it has also opened new questions about should I go back to catholicism etc since my church is non-denominational. Before I pick a side I'll read a lot of these arguments the early church fathers had and reformist christians had and hopefully find an area to land. Although my inner Holy Spirit says to follow Jesus and not the hierarchy established by the Catholic church. I'm currently leaning more with a Calvinist view but, cannot get behind the predestination view - except when his predecessor clears it up saying the elect are those who have received the Holy Spirit. Seems a but difficult that God would allow Adam and Eve to have Free Will but we would be predestined to be saved or not. So i have conflict in that idea. Also the idea that Mary was a perpetual virgin when we have the Gospel of James is kind of silly idea in my opinion and I cannot see myself praying to anyone but Jesus Christ My Lord and Saviour. I think the denominations kind of break away from the original teachings by making them hyper complex but also reading 2John I can see how the idea of predestionation could be argued. Is there a denomination that just says... Follow what Jesus did hahaha and understand you are a sinner that requires his sacrifice for you to be saved. I'd get baptised because Jesus did. And Love my neighbour as my brother etc. Seems like a more simple approach but ..... let's learn the "proper" way and enjoy the journey as the Holy Spirit guides me in my journey! Thanks again !!

And the Brethren at their begining were actually discriminated by both the catholics and the hussites, as they were even more extreme than hussites in various ways.

The executions of heretics, including the burning of Michael Servetus, were carried out by the civil authorities of Geneva ( the Genevan Councils, of which Calvin was not a part, although he was influential). While Calvin held a prominent role in the Consistory, which advised the councils on religious matters, his influence was limited to making recommendations. Early vernacular translations of the Bible, both Catholic and Protestant, did have inconsistencies and translation errors, partly because translators were working from a limited set of manuscripts, some of which contained copyist errors or variations. However, the Protestant Reformers placed a strong emphasis on accurate translation and scholarly review, aiming to make the scriptures accessible to laypeople in a form as close to the original texts as possible Tyndale was accused of mistranslation for doctrinal purposes, while Catholic translations like the Douay-Rheims, also an early English Bible, aimed to support Catholic doctrine. Both sides improved their translations over time as more Greek and Hebrew texts became available.

[@ariyune7007]

Okay then; Jan Hus was also burned by the state and not by the catholic church. So why did Redeemed zoomer try to claim they did?​@@pedroguimaraes6094

[@SirMicahBroch]

Calvin did not burn or kill anybody in Geneva. By the time Servetus was killed, Calvin still had no civil authority and was not even a citizen at the time.

[@carsonianthegreat4672]

@@pedroguimaraes6094the Catholic Church didn’t have direct authority to burn anyone either. The state did the executioning. In that way Calvin is no different. And Wycliffe’s Bible was notoriously polemic. It purposefully mistranslated words to support his Lollard theology. For example, he mistranslated Ecclesia as “congregation” instead of “church,” which is just silly. Early Catholic vernacular translations were so faithful to the original texts that they would do word-for word translations in the margins so that both languages were visible to the reader. Wycliffe never did that. Wycliffe wasn’t even the first to translate scripture into English. Catholic monks had been doing it for centuries - the Anglo-Saxon Glosses.

[@pedroguimaraes6094]

@@carsonianthegreat4672 The difference is that the Catholic Church formally sentenced people to death, with the secular authorities carrying out the execution. In Geneva, Calvin did not have judicial authority but recommended actions to the Consistory, which then interacted with the civil authorities. This separation does mark a difference: while Calvin’s influence was substantial, he did not wield the same formal sentencing power that the Catholic Church did. About Wycliffe, translating ecclesia as "congregation" can be justified, as the word in Greek (ekklesia) means "assembly" or "gathering." Secondly, the suggestion that Wycliffe’s Bible was uniquely polemical or unreliable in its translation isn't fully accurate. Wycliffe’s translation was based on the Latin Vulgate (the only widely available text at the time), and his translation choices, though influenced by his beliefs, weren't necessarily "unfaithful." While Wycliffe did not provide interlinear translations like some later Catholic editions, his work wasn’t an outright mistranslation but rather a reflection of his interpretive framework. It’s true that some Catholic vernacular translations included marginal notes or interlinear text, a common practice in later printed Bibles (e.g., the Douay-Rheims Bible). However, early English Catholic translations didn’t always use this technique, as handwritten manuscripts were labor-intensive and costly. About these Anglo-Saxon translations, they were partial translations. However, Wycliffe’s translation was the first to offer a complete English Bible, making the Scriptures more accessible in a way that earlier partial translations had not.

Hey Brother, thank you for the videos. I am rediscovering the reformed faith because of you and yours suggestion. From Bruce Gore to The Mystical Presence of John Nevin and Turretini.

Never seen you talk about it and here in Brazil the first thing you do to know a little more is to read the Institutes of Calvin and the Systematic of Berkof (I've started but stopped sometime in the past))

I still think that when Jesus told "this is my flesh and this is my blood" he did not say "this is symbol of flesh and blood" So if I'd be protestant, I'd rather be Lutheran. But I'm not, and I'm catholic. Mainly because I disagree with iconoclasm, and I don't have any problem with papal supremacy.

Hus and the Hussites are amazing! Many Hussites merged into the Lutheran Church, which I am a part of.

[@unit2394]

@MarkStein-t7d the Hussite issues were Communion under both kinds (receiving both the bread and wine in Communion), issues with corruption both morally and financially within the church, and something to do with papal authority if I remember correctly (they may have been Conciliarists but I can’t remember). They had a similar enough view of the sacraments for many of them to merge with Lutherans, notably the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The Moravian Church today stems from a mixture of Hussites and pietist Lutherans in the region of Moravia. They are not very strict theological but tend to affirm some mode of Christ’s presence in the Eucharist. They affirm various Protestant confessions such as the Augsburg Confession, Heidelberg Catechism, Thirty-Nine Articles, and others if I remember correctly. They would not be like a Baptist church because they affirm infant Baptism and Christ’s presence in the Supper. Does any of this answer your question? It may have been a disorganized response. The actual Hussite above could possibly do a better job explaining as well.

[@MacCoalieCoalson]

One question about Anglicanism I haven't been able to find a solid answer for: Are the majority of Anglicans Calvinist/believers in predestination? The emphasis on pointing out the Calvinistic ideas of the founders of Anglicanism would seem to suggest that Calvinism in the current Anglican church is more variable. And a follow-up question, are there any significant differences between Anglicans and Episcopalians, or is their "split" mainly geographical?

[@DrGero15]

Episcopalians are a subset of Anglicanism, who are generally very liberal. Anglicanism does not support individualistic, Calvinist, predestination. The Homilies, Prayer Book, and even the Articles support Ecclesiastical Election. Cranmer was not a Calvinist, neither was Hooker. Hooker's most famous writing was attacking the Calvinist Puritans. Anglo-Calvinist/Reformed violate the Anglican Formularies just as much as Anglo-Papists/Catholics. If you look at events like the Savoy Conference you can see the Calvinists attacking the 39 Articles and the Prayer book and trying to change them, which failed Other attempts to make it Calvinist like adding the Lambeth Articles to them were rejected, culminating with the Puritans killing the Archbishop and the King, (which had banned the teaching of Individual Predestination) driving the Anglicans out, and then the Puritans were going to revise the 39 Articles to make them Calvinistic, but they ended up junking them and writing the Westminster Confession of Faith. When the Anglicans regained power the Puritans were eventually ejected. The closest you can get to Calvin and remain inside the Articles as they were written is Lutheran Single Predestination. If you want to see how much they are different compare the 39 Articles to the Westminster, as the latter was supposed to replace the former and reflects how different their beliefs were. Other changes made early on in the articles, like adding" In Christ" and "May" to Article 17, also reflect this distancing from Calvinism.

[@noahtylerpritchett2682]

I'll answer a segment of this. The Anglicans were originally Calvinists with Bishops, But nowadays they're essentially Catholics who believe in the five solas and don't like the Pope. Lambeth articles and the Lambeth Conference, along with the Dublin synod and Westminster confession of faith were cornerstones of early Anglicans along with 39 articles. Now it's rare to find reformed Anglicans.

[@DrGero15]

@@noahtylerpritchett2682 The Lambeth articles were rejected by the church, the Irish Articles were rejected by the church, and the Westminster was literally written by Presbyterians that drove the Anglicans out or killed them. A "Reformed Anglican" is a Presbyterian with a prayer book. How can the Westminster Confession be a cornerstone of "early Anglicanism" when it was written ~100 years after Anglicanism was formed and the Articles written, and discards the distinctives of Anglicanism, so much so that an entire separate denomination uses it?

[@edwardyates8800]

Hey Redeemed Zoomer, Thanks for this - it's quite an ambitious undertaking to try to cover so many figures in such a short period of time. I wouldn't be daring enough to try! I just wanted to comment on a couple of the things you said about Richard Hooker because, while they are central to the popular conception of him, even in Anglican circles, they're not quite accurate. I'm a Church of England priest and I did my dissertation on Richard Hooker at Oxford University as part of my training. There is, if not quite a 100% consensus, then nevertheless a heavy majority in Hooker scholarship in favour of the idea that the 'Via Media' is an anachronism. The term itself is a 19th century coinage and was promoted by the same sorts of Anglo Catholic figures who you say ignore the 39 Articles. 'Via Media' is to Hooker as 'Tract 90' is to the Articles. It's true that Hooker was more irenic by temperament than many (though not all) of the reformers and so if you compare his writings to those of the 'hotter' kind of protestant, he comes across as softer on Catholicism. Some scholars, such as Peter Lake, would view him as being a bit arminianising. Nevertheless, he and the Elizabethan Church were determinedly protestant and if there is a middle way they sought, it passes between Wittenberg and Geneva, not Rome and Geneva. It's a similar story with the 'three-legged stool' idea. It's popular in the modern Church of England, especially among those who want to find a compromise between Evangelicals, Anglo Catholics and Liberals in the Church (who rather simplistically are equated with Scripture, Tradition and Reason). The trouble is, it simply isn't what Hooker said. In the relevant passage (and for what it's worth, I chose to do my dissertation on Hooker because he's much more commonly alluded to than actually read) what Hooker actually says is that *in questions of church polity and in the composition of liturgies* anything Scripture requires/forbids is mandatory/forbidden. If Scripture is silent, God expects humans to use reason (guided by Scripture) to determine what polity or liturgy is best suited to the present time and culture. If it's a toss up and there is more than one reasonable course of action, the Church should favour continuity with its past tradition (partly because continuity is beneficial in itself and partly because sometimes it is not clear to us what the function of a tradition or institution is until we get rid of it). I'm sure you can appreciate that that's a *very* different argument. It's really a methodology for handling adiaphora and an explanation for why the CofE has retained many of its pre reformation structures (especially Bishops). The three potential sources of authority are clearly hierarchialised in Hooker. If you'd like to learn more about Richard Hooker, I *highly* recommend Brad Littlejohn's book Richard Hooker: A Companion to his life and work. It's up to date, short, (under 250 pages), pitched well for the non specialist who is nonetheless familiar with Reformed theology, and is presently under $10 on Kindle. Grace and Peace! Ed

So does it matter that even luther at the end of his life accepted that he couldn't reform the Catholic church and didn't feel sorrow for the religious and political conflicts he caused?

And if that's the case, why didn't any of the reformers then reexamine Eastern orthodoxy if the Catholic Church was so in need of reform? If the Catholic Church was in disarray and in need of reformation since wycliffe, then when exactly did the Catholic church go astray? and if so, were the orthodox ahead of the curve for not compromise on the filioque?

You can definitely draw parallels between the The Great Schism and the Reformation on account of the fact that both directly were caused by the Pope's claim to absolute authority.
