Lecture 1: Historical Theology I - Dr. Nathan Busenitz

[@leewatson9000]

Nothing...and I say again, NOTHING...is more refreshing to hear than the TRUTH preached. I appreciate these Master's Seminary classroom videos so much. They are such a blessing. Thank you for letting us view them.

[@TheMastersSeminary]

Nathan is a great teacher, we need to have him do more courses like this. :) I will let him know you appreciate his class, I'm sure that will encourage him.

Some people will say that in {The New Testament} people saw Jesus and that this therefore means that the command not to make images (whether three dimensional or two dimensional) no longer applies. While it is true that there have been people long ago who saw God through Jesus Christ, this is an exception rather than the rule (Read {1 John 3:2} & {1 John 4:12}). Furthermore, Moses saw God (Read {Exodus 33:11}). The fact is that {Deuteronomy 4:23-24} still applies.

[@grant9047]

I learned more from him than any other Christian teacher. Fantastic Christian man and full of knowledge.

[@zacdredge3859]

Just a delayed update that this class is still being helpful. Valuable piece of history itself haha.

[@RockingRobby505]

I AM GEEKING OUT AND SO PUMPED THAT THIS PLAYLIST EXISTS!!! Praise God and yall keep it up!

[@lorismiley]

Haha! Same! 😂

[@juanleiva7687]

This seminar has been a huge blessing, we have scheduled a day and a time with my wife to follow the whole course, take notes and do research, thank you TMS for this effort.

[@cindylangford481]

Thanks so much for allowing us to watch these wonderful messages. I am so grateful to God. It helps me as a woman's inductive bible study leader tremendously. Glory to God!!!

[@teresaa4766]

So so thankful to have found this. This topic blesses me greatly. I am a homeschool mom and this is my way to get church history in while I cook. If there is anywhere to print up resources, that would be great. Probably no, but it never hurts to ask. Thank you for making this available.

[@TheMastersSeminary]

So glad God is using this to bless you! I shall pass on your thanks to those that labor to bring it to you.

[@Armygirl4Christ]

“It is your history; and it is not Roman Catholic history.” I’m so excited to listen to this study! Thank you so much for posting them.

[@cedarpoplar]

I would be very happy and fulfilled if I could sit in those classes and learn theology. I thank God today we have so many free resources at our disposal

[@moebewan]

I just said “I wish I could find a good course on Church History.” So excited!!

[@rickysmith133]

[@kevinhinds9277]

Me too bro. Hope you've been able to complete it. I just started tonight. Praise God for this teaching by his servant and it's availability to international audiences. I'm being reached in Antigua 🇦🇬 West Indies.

[@neilmurphy6503]

thank you TMS for making these lecturers available on KZbin. sat at home taking notes myself. you never know could be sat in class one day haha but I can't wait to listen and learn about the history of the church to who the what the where and whys of it all. God bless all you guys

[@MrMfloor]

I need this- I was saved out of Greek Orthodoxy! I literally had a million and one questions about church history after I got saved that most Christians couldn’t answer.

[@MrMfloor]

jeremy Lyons there were no premonitions. I heard a Christian preacher speaking of Gods judgement on the day we die. Yes, we all get judged when we die! The Bible says, it’s appointed unto man once to die after this the judgement. So with that, I was concerned that when I died I would not be right with Him. I knew that I had once stolen even though I was 17. I would have lustful thoughts about women. I used the Lord’s name in vain. I was baptized as an infant in the Orthodox Church, I attended weekend services. Not once when I was Orthodox did any priest use this kind of startling message. Most priest assume you are going to heaven because once you’re baptized it starts a conversion process and then we have to continue in our works to ensure that we go to heaven. I’ve come to learn through being born again and reading the Bible that this a lie straight out of hell. That is that you have to earn salvation by your good works! This is a lie and I’ve seen the fruit in Orthodoxy and Catholicism and its rotten! You can only be saved by Grace through faith and not of yourself it’s a free gift not of works so we can’t boast! Our works are filthy rags in God’s sight. Jesus paid the fine once and for all on the cross. That the problem I have with Orthodoxy. It’s a salvation issue. Does that mean that everything about Orthodoxy is bad? No in fact Orthodoxy takes the Trinity very seriously which is great. Actually more trinitArian that most evangelical churches. But there’s still a problem in Orthodoxy in which people aren’t hearing the true gospel of salvation. Not of works because none of us are good. The Bible says we are all bad!!!! We need Jesus’ righteousness to enter heaven. It is grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. Any other way is an affront to God and an idol. Jesus is our only intercessory not Saints in heaven or Mary. These saints can’t hear us. I even heard a priest the other day say “ happy name day- may Saint Matthew protect you!” This is idolatry!!!! Saints can’t hear us . They are not God. They are not omniscient or omnipresent. Think about it- could a Saint in heaven hear possibly millions of prayers? Then if he heard the prayer does he go to God for intercession? No because the Bible says only Jeus intercededs for us.Only God has the power. Romans 8:34 -Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died-more than that, who was raised-who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.

[@patrickc3419]

Amen. I was saved from Roman Catholicism.

[@Armygirl4Christ]

I’m so blessed to have found these! To know the truth of the history of the church is such a relief.Thank you, Nathan and God Bless You and keep you, brother.

[@dustinkburdin]

Thank you and God Bless you Joshua Crooch for taking the time to get as many of these TMS courses for us. I have had the door shut on me every time I have attempted to go to formal seminary training. Praise God though that through self-study under mentors, and resources made available from Godly men & institutions like TMS, men in my situation can still get great training. You have no real idea what this means to me and how much God has used this to bless me. Thank you & thank TMS. God bless!

[@mxy86]

i listened to this last night and i really enjoyed it. it's true, i think we should take the time to know the history of the church. much like getting to know the history of your bride, we ought to take effort in studying church history, since the church is the bride. great information, thanks for capturing and sharing. looking forward to more.

[@wonderfullymadecrochet9135]

How exciting! I enjoy hearing Nathan preach on Sundays at Grace community church. So i know this is going to be a great lecture. Definitely biblically sound.

[@williammcginnis240]

At least he teaches what he believes and backs it up with Scripture. Good enough for me.

[@williamjayaraj2244]

It is very much essential that every preacher irrespective of their denominations , include atleast ten minutes of their message devote for the Church history. Generation after generation attend the Church service and yet they are ignorant about their own Church history. Thanks for helping the Christians through the Masters Seminary.

[@jefferyz9271]

I really like the Dr's idea about adding the biography to one's regular reading.

[@kellyanne7225]

It’s so wonderful to see these men, students of God’s actual Word. I completely reject female pastors. So as I’m painting walls in my home, making it cozy and pretty, I’m loving that I too get to listen to this truth that is usually saved for Seminary students! What a gift!🥰

Only have an associate's in biblical studies, however, my favorite subject was church history.

I'll be honest the class was very informative, exciting, fun, and lastly, difficult. There was so much information!!! Looking forward to these lessons.

And the master's seminary website says, "WE TRAIN MEN!" Really?? What BS. They obviously haven't read the scripture, "I will Pour Out My Spirit 27"Thus you will know that I am in the midst of Israel, And that I am the LORD your God, And there is no other; And My people will never be put to shame. 28"It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions. 29"Even on the male and female servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.…(Joel 2).

[@rachaelregier8442]

Is it not possible to study the shared heritage of Catholicism and Protestantism without putting the two in opposition?

[@lawrencestanley8989]

The problem inherent in doing that is that when the discussion comes to doctrine, the two are in fact in opposition. To see this problem in detail, just study the differing views that each has on the topic of justification. For instance, Catholic dogma (Trent, Canon IX and XXIV) pronounces anathema on anyone who preaches justification by faith alone, and who states that our works play no part in our justification. This dogma is in opposition to the New Testament which is quite clear about the nature of saving faith: “For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law” (Romans 3:28). “A man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus . . . since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified” (Galatians 2:16). “But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit” (Titus 3:4-5). Salvation is by faith in Christ alone through God’s grace alone, and God then declares you righteous-not because you actually are righteous, it is not as though righteousness is infused into you, but rather because He imputes His righteousness to you, and because He paid the penalty for your sin. Christ bears our sin and we receive His righteousness. That is the doctrine of justification found in 2 Corinthians 5:21.

[@ellaty5744]

No it's not possible because the Roman Catholic church has not changed. The evangelical Protestants have instead decided to end their protest. Sad indeed but there is much to be gained by sharing a bed with the Pope.

[@awobbie.3140]

No, it isn’t. The Reformation was the most significant even in Church History since the closing of the canon, and the very word “Protestant” alludes to that opposition.

[@bilongkampuis8660]

Sir, isn’t “Historical theology” different from “church history”? The title says “historical Theology” but the content seems to be “church history” assuming that they are different.

Is this more the history of christianity, than it is historical theology? Listening to the first lecture (which is great), this doesn't seem to be historical theology.
