Instead of focusing on theology, the British love meditating on snow, silence, and livestock in their Christmas hymns. Martin Luther finds this annoying.

"Hark the Herald Angels Sing" was written by a British man (Charles Wesley) and it's one of the most theologically dense Christmas carols of all time. Same goes for "O Come All Ye Faithful" (written by British Catholic priest John Wade), but unfortunately the more theological verses are typically omitted nowadays.

Mr. Thompson: Wait, Luther! Vicar: Give us one more chance! Mr. Thompson: I'm confident we can get the theology right this time! Luther: You have one more chance. *the music starts as Vicar and Mr. Thompson sing* The snow was cold, and the night was black, and the ice as hard as stone - Though not so hard as the hearts of men 'gainst God in Heav'n enthroned. That night in the streets of Bethlehem, not an ear could hear a sound, And yet in a humble stable did the Word of God resound! For God has now come down to earth in a manger filled with hay, With an ox and an ass and a sheep and a duck and a goose that cold cold day! He came though we in our malice would soon slay Him on the cross - Leave Him dead like the silent frozen ducks strewn about in Bethle'm's frost. But there's no pow'r in Earth or Hell that can keep Him in the grave, Nor one that can withhold His Grace from those He came to save! So now with an angelic choir let's praise a God who's big and bold, The God with a love ever warm for us even when our hearts are cold! Vicar: Well Mr. Luther? What do you say? Luther: Congratulations. You've somehow managed to completely miss the point while simultaneously taking it to heart. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go home and drink five pints of my wife's hombrewed beer before that abomination is permanently seared into my long term memory. *Luther hurries off* *awkward silence* Mr. Thompson: I think that went splendidly! Vicar: Quite!

The wesley brothers remained anglican, but they knew that their religion was dead, see, the problem of "high churches" is that they are terrified with evangelism (some roman catholics dont) wesley wrote that he was terrified to evangelize outside a "church". The lutheran church once said that the great comission was just the apostle's job and that it was not a job for today. Compare an orthodox to a baptist, the orthodox evangelize with the intellect following rites, the baptist with the heart, and I am not even a baptist, but thank to many puritans and also baptist that the great comission was done, and I cant deny that there were also roman catholics who truly trusted in Christ and went to do the great comission...

I'm a Ukrainian Catholic I like these videos, very funny and for some part like the stance they take on silly modern Christian habits. But I will say the ox and ass have meaning. This is something perhaps lost due to inconolasm in lutheranism but the ox is Juda and the ass is the gentiles. In our church there is an icon of the nativity, among many different elements whenever father deacon gives a tour to visitors he always mentions this because the ox and ass aren't random inclusions of the icon but deliberate part of the essential gospel narrative. The ox and ass TOGETHER at the nativity mean Christ has come for ALL races and peoples, and that the time of distinction between Jew and gentile is no more.

Still true in Christmas 2019. There are so many carols in the English tradition that don't focus on the birth of Jesus, but they do focus on things like animal inventories or weather patterns. For example, looking at you, 'The holly and the ivy," or "Ding dong merrily on high".
@sihollett4 жыл бұрын
Other than the random chorus couplet "The rising of the sun and the running of the deer" in "The holly and the Ivy", there's nothing remotely like animal inventories or weather stuff in those two songs. It's musical stuff that gets mentioned lots - bells, choirs and organs. And, obviously, holly in tHatI (where Ivy is only there to fill in the first line of the pointless first verse), which - despite so much potential - doesn't relate to the stuff about Jesus other than the couplet about holly rhyming with the couplet about why "Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ" and so ends up just pointless. Ding Dong has the repeated praise line of "Glorororororororia! Hosanna in excelsis!" and the rest is sort of encouragement for musicians and singers to take part (unlike tHatI's "isn't this nice" view on it). There's some doubt as to what 'io' means, but there's not a huge amount of difference in sentiment and content between it and Psalm 150 (say) which is exhorting people to praise mostly by listing instruments.

+Barely Protestant (Barely Protestant) I am a member at a LCMS church, but I was baptized in the ACC (Anglican). I must say that although there are silly songs that pass for hymns in the Anglican tradition, there are a lot of GOOD Anglican Hymns too. I love trying to sing from my 1928 BoCP. And... since the English-Speaking Lutherans borrowed most of the liturgy back from the Anglicans (though Luther did help with their original English translations), English speaking Christians of ALL stripes (esp Lutherans who actually use the historic liturgy) owe a debt to the English church in that regard. Perhaps the Lutherans could borrow melodies from the Anglicans and the Anglicans borrow the words from the Lutherans and we'd have the best of both worlds! (some of the Lutheran hymns are darned hard to sing... good theology wrapped in dark, heavy notes) Anyway... I'm glad that we (Lutherans) have borrowed the Best Hymns from other church bodies and left the bad ones. We sang "Oh God our help in ages past" recently at Church... a good Englishman wrote that! (Isaac Watts) although why it wasn't to the St. Anne tune, I'll never understand!) Thanks for the satire... even if I disagree at one level, I can laugh and enjoy the humor.

You know, Revelation 12 has everything you need for a metal Christmas song. And yet, I still wait for a Christmas song where Jesus curb-stomps a dragon, thus winning an epic battle in a divine war. Also, the amount of laughter I get out of the line, "we said a German accent. Not ancient Egyptian!" can not be understated!

How about using the liturgy of St John Chrysostom where we fully enumerate every aspect of our theology like the mentioning and The Hypostatic union and invoking the trinity over 40 times? Why not like The Eastern Orthodox Church Chant entire psalms? How about that?
@TheMountAndBladerX102 жыл бұрын
I mean its not like the Traditional churches exclusively have liturgical chant. Every nation still has vernacular hymns for the unlearned. I dont actually know how those are implemented in eastern churches. In the traditional latin mass there are some sections where one or two vernacular hymns can be sung in mass.

I love this, but it would have been a lot funnier if the title wasn't inherently condescending. It would have worked infinitely better if it was a commentary on English Christmas carols in general. Whatever good points it makes are undermined pretty severely by the need to make it an insult against a specific branch of Christianity.

+Acton Rand Schaeffer I'm not familiar with Lutheran hymns, but I guess they're generally more heavy on the theology than Anglican ones, and this is just an exaggeration for comedy. It's true some famous Anglican carols do have plenty of stuff that's not just serious theology about Christ incarnating and redeeming our sins etc, and that set the scene and paint pictures in some way, including stuff about the weather and animals.. How about In the deep midwinter (frosty wind made moan/ earth stood hard as iron/ water as a stone....). Or Good King Wenceslas. Or O little town of Bethlehem. Or Away in a manger (and they're just a few of the first carols that came to my mind - I'm from a Church of England background). They all have quite a lot of stuff that LutheranSatire would probably think is extraneous window dressing and not getting to the point (but are nice to sing!) :p

Neither could the German Nazis endure the cold winter while slouching - goose stepping? - toward Russia. Where would any native German (Lutheran and/or Catholic?) be without the Americans and the British, i.e., the Anglos, helping them rebuild for decades after WW2? The hauteur on this site is breathtaking, as is the growing arogance of the German led EU.

As an Anglican, touché. I would counter with “What Child Is This,” but considering that the Episcopalian hymnals inherited by the ACNA literally cut out, “Nails, spear shall pierce him through / The cross be borne for me, for you,” in stanza 2 and replace it with the equivalent section of stanza 1, touché all the more.
