History of the entire Church, I guess...

redeemedzoomer.com/?page_id=143
A few disclaimers:
1. While I tried to mention everything, what I focused most on was influenced by what I am (American Mainline Protestant) so I focus most on the history of Protestants and American Christians.
2. This is nowhere CLOSE to an adequate summary of Church history. This is meant to give people a starting place to begin learning more in a way that's understandable to all.
3. It's impossible to make this completely unbiased, so I understand that the way I tell some of these narratives are disputable.
Also, thanks to Bill Wurtz's famous "History of the entire world, I guess" for the inspiration.

It's incredibly inaccurate, though. I found myself cringing from inaccuracies just 20 seconds into the video, and it keeps going. What's inaccurate just 20 seconds in is that the apostles were told, that Jesus would come back before the disciples had preached throughout Israel [Matthew. 10:23] or when the gospel has been preached throughout the world [Matthew 24:14] There are also verses where Jesus tells us that he would return before all of his disciples had died [Mark 9:1; 13:30;] "Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done."

[@petersbananabread1631]

@@Thor.Jorgensen Those verses are referring to "the Kingdom" expressed in the events like the Resurrection, the Pentecost, or the destruction of Herod's Temple. The old kingdom of Israel is no longer God's sole inhabitance, but he has come into the world for Jew and Gentile alike. That is the New Kingdom (or New Testament), not the Second Coming or New Creation that Revelation talks about.

The pay stinks. Everyone hates them. Why on earth would someone join? Oh yeah, because they believe.

I really can't understate that. It was so great in fact, that some people started converting over time to Islam. The portrayal of late developments of the situation is wildely biased and equates to straight up propaganda.

There he covers all four books, chapter by chapter (or even versicle by versicle), giving many explanations from other Saints and scholars, and adding his own inputs for clarification. I know the Bible's language can be difficult and confusing sometimes.

early Christians did not have bible, they had Apostles and their teachings, which later become sacred traditions, later compiled by Catholic church into bible "Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours." 2Th 2:16

[@beastlycrawdad6412]

@gda86pl That’s wrong. They had the Old Testament and were very familiar with the teachings of the apostles. Later down the line people began to forget the teachings, so they compiled a Bible. But as he says in the video, the real universal church hadn’t really split during the Constantine era so it was also the Orthodox Church who compiled the Bible as well as the Catholic Church. So at that point it was just The Church before the great schism.

[@beastlycrawdad6412]

Paul or Peter I am not sure which one, I need to study to remember, calls his own writing scripture and Paul also said “All scripture is breathed out by God.” So he is basically saying even what we have written isn’t from us but from God. So we did still have scripture at the time, just not a fully compiled Bible. Which makes sense considering actual books didn’t become popularized until 200-300 AC.
