@@ReadyToHarvest I have seen a number of your videos and I haven't found them to be terribly balanced. The "factual" part is a bit hard for me to concur with for that matter. Whereas you don't make up points you do get rather selective with facts. The facts you present are generally those selected to have a salacious appeal to those of your own mindset. That is inherently unbalanced. I have to say you do your utmost to cover up bias by selecting what denominations say to make your point far more than to make the point that those denominations would make of themselves. I find your videos to be rather cleverly deceptive. I keep trying to find words that don't imply you are bearing false witness but keep coming back to believing that is what you are doing.

[@weslh4305]

@@kitiowa I don't believe Ready To Harvest is being deceptive or selective or secretly biased. For one many responses from people in the other (totally different or opposing) denominations have clearly stated that their opposing doctrines were well and fairly described.

I myself, have a much different background, culture, ethnicity (church & heritage), and I also have training in comparative church history and I feel Ready To Harvest has done well.

@@Frptlinyy As a Roman Catholic myself (a convert) my understanding and belief is that "the church" is the sum total of the congregants. As polls have shown, what US Catholics believe has a number of differences from official Vatican positions. What surprised me when I began attending Mass and learning about the Catholic church is how so many American Catholics (by poll data the majority) have made peace with this dichotomy. I would wager that this goes on in most, if not all, major denominations. Thus comparing and contrasting the official teachings of denominations involves the decisions of councils and committees but might not have much relevance to the beliefs of the people in the pews.

I was baptized as an infant in the Christian Reformed church (highly Calvinistic) and when the family moved we were in the Brethren church, and when I was nine we moved into the Baptist church where I spent the rest of my formative years, through high school. In my early twenties I had discerned so many contradictory teachings that I looked for something different. Because of the esthetics involved I became an Episcopalian where the worship, hymnody, and theology wee beautiful and consistent. This however was almost sixty years ago, and much has changed in Anglicanism since then. 38 years ago I entered the Roman Catholic Church, and then 30 years ago I was ordained a priest. Things have indeed changed a bit since then but certainly not to the degree they have in other Christian denominations. As with others comments above, I have truly enjoyed, Joshua, your clear and non polemic descriptions of the various Christian groups. I have found very little that I can disagree with in your presentations, if indeed any at all. I have deeply studied Christianity all my life which I think gives me a valuable, at least to me, access to discern honesty and truth about Christian matters. I therefore value your wonderful careful and accurate research and evaluation which you so clearly present in each of your videos! Thank you, and may God bless you!

[@Gospel_Street_Preacher]

I was raised in the Roman Catholic religion and never *once* heard in the Catholic Church a man must be born again to even see 👀 the kingdom of God. In Catholicism people are told to go to confession, pray the rosary, go to Mass, pray to Mary and Saints, etc. and still no real assurance of salvation when you die. The "best" you can hope for is some time suffering in purgatory, a place never even hinted at once in the written word of God, the Bible. Friend you don't need another "church", you need to be born again. You need salvation. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be born of God and receive the forgiveness of sins. No "church" denomination can give you salvation. Only Jesus Christ can. Look to him

However the man who opened the Scriptures to me used the Roman Catholic Confraternity Bible (which was the only Bible available at the time) and he shared the gospel with me out of said Bible. I repented and *believed on* Jesus Christ for my salvation. The Holy Scriptures are sufficient to lead a man to salvation even through a Roman Catholic translation. I am proof ☺️

Here it is a bit more than three years after this video was made, and I have been watching this channel for about a year now. And in my opinion you've been doing a good job of covering a variety of denominations. As I was growing up my parents moved through local churches across several denominations, so I'm familiar with doctrinal issues of those denominations. My guess is that when we get to the final judgement day we're going to find out that all of these denominations are wrong about *some* doctrinal position(s), and no one will get a perfect score. But I think it's important and interesting to find out what the doctrinal positions are, and why different denominations ended up with the doctrines that they feel the most strongly about.

[@garanceadrosehn9691]

Let me add one experience I had in my 20's. One friend of mine was talking about the religious beliefs of some person we both knew, and both knew to be a Christian. They were in a denomination I hadn't heard of before, and those beliefs seemed a bit far-out to me. Okay, to be honest they seemed rather ludicrous, and I said some sarcastic things meant to show just how ludicrous I thought those beliefs were. Later on I got into a longer discussion about religion with this person, and found out that their actual beliefs were not the same as what my first friend had described. Their beliefs were "kinda close" to what he had described, and yet significantly different. And actually their religious beliefs weren't all *that* different from my own. Again, they were not exactly the same as mine, but not irreconcilably different. It seemed like I would have felt comfortable sitting in the church services she went to, and she would have been comfortable in the church services I went to. Okay, so some mistakes were made. That happens all the time. But here's the bad part: The sarcastic comments I had made worked *just* as well with the person's real beliefs as they had sounded with the significantly wrong description of their beliefs. This made me realize that just because I could say something sarcastic about someone's beliefs didn't really prove anything - especially if I did not know what they *really* believed. It's important to get the facts straight before jumping to any conclusions. Thus I appreciate the effort you put into your videos to get to "just the facts", so the viewers can make up their own minds about which doctrines they (the viewer) is confident in.

Great comments. If you haven't seen my video on "Four Groups You May be Misrepresenting" I think you would really like it based on what you said here.

I recently stumbled across your channel and really love it. Thanks for all that you do. I'm definitely digging this and appreciate your research. Dane

[@ReadyToHarvest]

Thanks Dane!

[@Maclabhruinn]

I love the high information density format! It makes your videos so much easier and more pleasant to listen to. Keep it up!

[@YourFriendinFL]

What I most enjoy about your videos is they are truly unbiased. That's in short supply these days. I just want the plain, unbiased explanation of what each denomination believes and you do that. Thank you! I appreciate the enormous amount of research you do for each of these videos.

[@ReadyToHarvest]

I appreciate that! I wanted it myself, and I knew others like you would want to have this kind of video too.

[@YourFriendinFL]

@@ReadyToHarvest You've got a perfect niche -- we really needed this. Unbiased information on denominations without a hint of anti-religion sentiment. Thank you!

Hello, Joshua (my middle name, by the way 😊). What I appreciate most about your channel is the information density that you mentioned, and the objectivity of your content, the latter being a super important reason to SCRIPT YOUR VIDEOS. The directness of your content falls on the ear very nicely, I think. There are no frills, no bells and whistles. I appreciate that a lot, as someone who speaks with that kind of directness myself. Thank you. You are doing a great service by using God’s calling to teach worshipers and future pastors about our faith and those who practice it.

[@ReadyToHarvest]

Thank you Boris! I just made the kind of videos I wished already were out there, and I am glad to find out that other people were looking for this kind of stuff too!
