After it, i became a member of the Presbyterian Church and it has been an incredible experience.

The difference between the Pharisees and the Church that you bring up at around the 5:00 minute mark is that the Pharisees didn't have the Holy Spirit. The main role of the Holy Spirit is to guide the Church into the fullness of truth so that we don't misinterpret the Scriptures as the Pharisees did. That's why Sacred Tradition (2 Thess. 2:15) is distinct from traditions of men. You sort of just draw a shallow comparison between the two without acknowledging the third person of the Trinity and His role.

@@bradyhayes7911 It's *absolutely* true what 2 Thessalonians 2:15 said, but we must recognize tradition for what it is; tradition. Also, I'm not certain the Bible and the teachings of the first Apostles (written in the New Testament of the Bible) can be called sacred tradition, I think calling it "tradition" devalues it, _even if_ one calls it sacred tradition. I recognize the preservative value of tradition, but ultimately, it's most important to preserve the Bible itself and our faith in Jesus. No hard feelings, God bless.

[@pedroguimaraes6094]

Protestants do believe the Church is the pillar of truth but there is absolutely no promisse of infallibility for the Church in the Bible and almost the entire NT is a proof that the church, even while being personally visited and instructed by the Apostles, could go ashtray.

[@EverySingleSaint]

Catholic here. Grew up Methodist. GENUINELY TRULY LOVED this video. I had never heard such a good clear argument that yes, Jesus founded the Catholic Church, but along the way it became lost and Protestantism restored it. That's a great path to take when us Catholics resort to "JESUS started our Church and some dude 1500 years later started yours!" Admittedly, the two things that will likely keep me Catholic forever are 1 it does seem that Jesus gave the Church he started an infallible authority that was maintained through the succession of Peter and 2 our transubstantiated Eucharist and only apostolic priests can consecrate the Eucharist So I need to be convinced that the Catholic Church, started by Jesus, LOST it's authority (or never had it) and/or be convinced that the bread, when consecrated by an apostolic priest, does not actually become the literal body of Christ

[@henrique7893]

Wow, for me it's the same causes. If you have some time, i will talk about my history My protestant friends showed me Jesus, and after i reconized Him as my Lord, they showed the protestant doctrine. So I was "protestant" but I never claimed it because I wanted to know what I was saying, or what "to be protestant" mean. After some months researching, and with all of this doctrine confusion(its more than 500 years of discussion), I found the writings of Saint Ignatius of Antioch(diciple of St. Peter) and Saint Justin Martyr about the Eucharist. The protestant doctrine didn't make a lot of sense to me, and I was trying to understand it, until i found out the truth of Eucharist, than the Catholic doctrine and its authority made a lot more sense to me. But I still try to understand protestants so we can have a better conversation, without stereotypes, because if we can achieve unity again, it is through this real dialogue. (Im not that good at english, i hope you could understand 😅)

[@TheOtherPhilip]

If you’re interested in hearing what I believe to be defeaters of transubstantiation, they are the following: 1: There are 7 places in the Old Testament that expressly ban the consumption of blood. The most explicit verse being Leviticus 7:27, “Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people”(ESV). The Douay-Rheims Bible translates that verse as, “Everyone that eateth blood, shall perish from among the people”. This is a command and part of the law from God. God commands us to abstain from consuming blood under penalty of death. If Jesus really did make the wine “become” his blood, as the Catechism of the Catholic Church says in paragraph 1411 in reference to what validly ordained priests do, then this would be a case of Christ encouraging his followers to break the law of God. Also, it would mean that Christ broke the law as well since he ate the last supper with his disciples. (Luke 22; 7-12). In verse 11, Christ tells Peter and John to “Tell the owner of the house, “the teacher asks you, “Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?”’’ This would mean that Jesus was not a perfect sacrifice as he had committed sin. However, we know that he did not do that because 2: AFTER his resurrection we have several verses that indicate that the Apostles did not believe that they had consumed blood at the last supper. Act 15; 20, “but instead we should write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from eating anything that has been strangled, and from blood.” Earlier, we read in Acts 10, that Peter had a vision of animals that were formerly forbidden by the dietary laws. When commanded to kill and eat, Peter said, No, Lord! For I have never eaten anything impure and ritually unclean.” This would mean that Peter did not believe that he had consumed blood because if he had, then he could not make the statement he did. Then, all together, the Apostles agree that the command to abstain from blood would continue to be binding on all believers. How can it be both binding to abstain from blood while at the same time, the consumption of blood be the “heart and summit of the church’s life….”(CCC 1407)? The only thing I can think of is that there is no substantive change of the wine into blood. Instead, there is a real reception in our spirits of the blood of Christ in a manner that our spiritual thirst is satisfied by his blood and atoning death when we drink the wine. I hope you find this interesting and that it helps you in some way. 🙂

[@Carolus33]

I'm sorry but "along the way it became lost" is a major heresy. The Church is infallible and CANNOT defect. Please repent of your heresy and read the Catechism.

[@Ampwich]

"Do this in remembrance of me." I see it as symbolic. It represents his body and blood. Much like how the Passover (and other celebrations the Israelites had) serves as a reminder for the judgments and Exodus from Egypt, so communion serves as a reminder of Christ's sacrifice.

[@EverySingleSaint]

@@TheOtherPhilip Thank you for your response. I always enjoy hearing other's perspectives. Everything you said would likely be correct except that the use of "substantive" change is not being applied correctly. This is an extremely common misunderstanding. There is a difference between the accidents and the substance of a thing. In mass, the accidents of the bread and wine do not change - this means they remain gluten, wheat, grape, sugar, alcohol etc But the substance changes - meaning what the thing actually IS changes Normally, all the ingredients in wine make what we call wine - but in Mass the substance becomes Jesus's literal blood, while appearing as the ingredients of wine. I encourage you to look more into what I am trying to explain in case I am not doing it well. If Peter were indeed consuming the accidents of flesh & blood, skins cells, blood cells, proteins, platelets, etc, etc, that would be cannibalism, and your points would make sense. Thanks friend

Roman Catholic here. Well, yes, the teachings of the Apostles were collected in the New Testament, but it's the Church that ultimately decreed what texts had to be put inside the Canon of the New Testament. For us the Bible is written Tradition technically, written, infallible apostolic tradition, but that's not all. The customs, the prayers, the rituals, the ways of governance, those things are not written in the Bible but are part of a Sacred Tradition that undoubtely descends from their rightful successors. We found the authority of the Church on the authority of the Apostles. Since they had received full authority on the Church from Christ, they had the right to pass that full authority to their successors, that's why the Pope is also considered the Vicar of Christ and the bishops and patriarchs the direct descendents of the Apostles. Does that mean that all that comes out of the Church is infallible? Absolutely not, not even the Apostles were infallible and that's why councils and synods are made since the beggining of the Church, they serve to filter the personal, fallible pastoral views from the totality of the uncorrupted apostolical teachings.

If someone really wants to read Calvinism onto the text, for example, they can and they will. Then they’ll just say “Calvinism is biblical.” Same thing. If anathemas are just saying a belief contradicts Scripture, the Calvinists today would have to anathematize the men in the councils and of the first 1500 years of Church history for the very canons at the councils they like to inconsistently quote from when convenient and then turn around and argue against believers today for having the same opinions the people they’re quoting have because the Calvinists believe it contradicts Scripture. All data, including Scripture, needs to be interpreted. There’s not some magical perspicuity that prevents people even the well-intentioned from falling into heresies. Vaguely saying “it contradicts Scripture” is begging the question because that’s exactly what the councils met to decide-who is interpreting Scripture correctly and who is not. It needed to be interpreted at the council, so you can’t just say they anathematized them because they were more biblical. Otherwise, what do you do when you get to the Great Schism?

Zoomer, I love all of your videos and have been a, no pun intended, faithful watcher of your videos. I have been moving towards Orthodoxy for a while now and it really saddened me to hear you say, “People that convert to Eastern Orthodoxy are [falling to peer pressure from dead Byzantine emperors].” Then, immediately bringing up the oriental (Assyrian) orthodox who believe in HERESY DENOUNCED BY ORTHODOX AND PROTESTANT ALIKE to support your position that “ecclesialism” is built upon falsity is, to a certain extent, underhanded 8:06 . I still love your videos, as they direct my study, but I think I’ve finally realized them for what they are. When it comes to interdenominational videos, they are superficial ads for your personal beliefs. That being said, I think that most of what you do is exceptional, I will continue to watch your content, and of course I will pray for you as I always have ❤️ EDIT: Grammar

[@xHollow.]

Thats because they do fall under pressure from Dead Byzantine emperors and Orthobros. Also for the fact of how (i will admit) aesthetically pleasing on how much The EO idolize their churches. I will throw in the fact they do kinda have the best looking bishops as well. thats more or less besides the point. When he mentioned the Assyrian Church he did not claim they are better then EO. He made a tier list clearing putting EO above them because the Assyrian Church are near heretical. *Even while trying to be “Nice” you still end up insulting him over your misinterpreted screwed perception of what RZ was trying to say.* “Your videos are nothing more then Superficial ads of your personal beliefs.” The fact you say that but continue watching him for information is insane. - Lol imagine if someone said that EO is led by Jezebel and is a failed recreation of Graceo Buddhism repackaged as Christianity, You would lose your mind over someone saying that. Absolutely shameful to make such a ridiculous CONTRADICTING claim. He bases his theology and history and reformed theology that is also based on the word of God. Reformed protestantism is the catholic church reformed by the word of God

[@5dszmusic]

@@xHollow. 1. I didn’t say that he was claiming that the Assyrian Church was better. I was pointing out the fact that he’s using a “near heretical” to support his view of ecclesiology. This seems a little weird, saying essentially “I may not agree with them on all of these things but I’ll use their argument against this group. 2. I wasn’t trying to be nice, I was trying to be honest. I do enjoy RZ’s videos. I will continue to watch them because he has a firm grasp on different Protestant denominations. I like to be informed and I like when my presuppositions are challenged. 3. My opinion is not in contradiction. I think that he gives the barebones, face value perception of churches outside of reformed traditions. So I will continue to watch his videos on reformed theology… because he knows his stuff in those areas. 4. I said when it comes to his “interdenominational videos” they are superficial ads for his own beliefs. He clearly props up beliefs closely related to his own, which is understandable but it’s not what I’m here for. I was raised reformed Presbyterian so I’m by and large looking for unbiased takes on other interpretations and traditions. 5. I have no idea where the whole Jezebel thing came from but it wouldn’t really upset me. I’m not EO, have never been in an EO parish, have never spoken to an EO priest, I’ve never attended a Divine Liturgy. I’ve been searching for the truth and I have been reading/watching content about EO theology. 6. I was saddened because I’ve found a wealth of understanding and theology in the EO tradition. Enough that it has lead me to consider them seriously. 7. I could have handled this comment better. I didn’t mean to insinuate that ALL of his videos are ads for his beliefs. I also should’ve stated that I’m kind of outside the argument between denominations. Like I mentioned before, though I’ve studied a TON of theology, I was raised Presbyterian but haven’t been to church in many years. So after an experience with God that shook me, I have been trying to find the truth between the different traditions (which is why I clicked the video) and get back to church.

In the 16th century, reformation was desperately needed.

[@jonathannerz1696]

As a Baptist, I’d argue that we do follow tradition in practicing only believers baptism, the oldest of Christian traditions, and one not practiced by any other denomination. Also, I can’t speak for all Baptists, but the reason why we are typically adverse to tradition is because we learn about the Protestant reformation and how tradition can muddy our worship of Jesus Christ. That’s why we focus so much on what is necessary for salvation and pour all of our focus into that. Additionally, the idea that Baptists come from the Anabaptists is generally refuted by modern scholars, and most now believe that it stems from English Separatism, mainly over their objection to the Church of England forcing everyone to be Anglican.

[@applegaming2345]

You are correct about the origins of the Baptist faith. They came about from the first great awakening not Anabaptists. Useful charts does a great video on that with his Christian denominations family tree

[@tmorganriley]

@@applegaming2345 While the Baptists arose to major prominence in the First Great Awakening, there are at least a handful of notable Baptist confessions predating that event by decades. Baptist originated in the 17th century, not the early-mid-18th century. Indeed, the earliest Baptist congregation in the USA dates to 1638; a century before the Great Awakening! Further, best I can tell from modern sources: using the Smyth-Helwys thesis, Baptists seem to be the result of an ecclesiastical one-night-stand between a few expat English Dissenters and some Dutch Anabaptists who met in Amsterdam around 1607-1608; the English DIssenters returned having fashioned a brand-new-sect. So there evidently WAS a direct influence from the Anabaptists, but it wasn't a splinter group so much as they strongly imprinted on some impressionable Dissenters, who took some of their ideas and ran with it.

Question: Does your old testament translation contain all the books from the Septuagint including apocrypha like 1&2 Macabees?

The Septuagint was used by jews in the Greek-speaking world around the time that Jesus lived, so it's reasonable to believe that he accepted those books as scripture.

[@Caligulashorse1453]

Well, there’s also a split back then see the Sadducees only used the first five books of the Bible and the pharisees had the rest of the Old Testament as in the Tanakh the Septuagint is a Greek translation of the Hebrew and or Aramaic and included Jewish tradition such as Maccabees but even within the Jewish community it was never seen as authoritative merely the traditional history of the Jewish people. Although you can learn from Maccabees, I personally do not believe it is authoritative. (Btw I a nondenominational biblically based Christian)

Sephardic Jews today do not accept the Oral Torah but the Ashkenazi do. We are not talking about modern jews though... Apocryphal books like Maccabees found in the Septuagint might not be considered scripture by modern Jews, but they were DEFINITELY considered scripture by Jews in the Greek-speaking world at the time that Jesus was born (Like Jesus himself). In fact, theology from 1 Maccabees is thought to be a predecessor to the philosophy of the Sadducees. The Hannukah story for example, is an account of the Maccabean revolt which is documented only in the apocryphal texts. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadducees The original version of KJV even included some of these texts.

Much needed video

Bro im catholic but you have a great channel and youve made my faith go stronger

[@r.o.b]

This video was so good

[@nermal3503]

"Assyrian Church of the East don't think they are the one true church(and they are really OLD), this proves early christianity did not believe in the concept"??? Talk about the logical leap of the century

[@redeemedzoomer6053]

that combined with Imperialist Christianity being a thing does make quite a compelling case

[@carlose4314]

@@redeemedzoomer6053 The Catholic Church was never a state Church. The pope is not subject to emperors.

[@jacksongilbert3860]

Yeah I noticed that too, it totally doesn’t follow

[@sergejmece34]

AC of the East is technically protestant, then.

RZ: The Church went astray! Meanwhile, Jesus: On this rock I shall build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 💀

This was a really good one!

About to watch, but a question I’m going to throw out before I do (and I apologize if this is covered in the video)… I am a Protestant myself, but do Catholics/Orthodox see Church Tradition and Papal Authority as a carryover of extra-biblical authorities from OT times? Because there were always Levitical priests, judges, kings, etc. around to give final decisions on laws, and even by NT times Jesus said the Pharisees sat in the Chair of Moses. I don’t believe in Church Tradition or Papal Authority, but I could see Catholics and Orthodox Christians saying those things are just the modern versions of those other things. Any thoughts on that?

Wow that's great!!! You put Iglesia Ni Cristo. You should make a video about it! -Love from Philippines
