While he might well be one of those very gifted young folks who begin college at 13 or 14, and by the time they're 25 have a doctorate, (the fantastic job he does on his research and videos certainly wouldn't make that out of the question) he also might simply look a lot younger than he is. Great videos, though, either way!

@@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.

@@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. This has included ministers, priests, theologians et cetra. 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. The author has never claimed perfection. Relax.

My mother was Independent Baptist, I am a United Methodist. My brother is Church of God, another brother is an Atheist, I have relatives that are Mormon, Presbyterian, Pentecostal Holiness and others. We all do our best not to talk about our faith when we get together (which I find to be sad) My beliefs have evolved over the years, and I have noticed that most Christians do not really know what their denominations believe. You my friend are doing a great service to the Christian faith. I have never seen a more non-judgmental or a more unbiased presentation. Your students are very lucky to have you as their professor. Note: You look way too young to be a professor.... but that is a good thing. Thanks.

Talk about being confused… I am a product of a mixed marriage (MSL + RC). All of our differences seem to be called up in “what the individual believer believes,“ and “doctrine“. ie: What the RC Church “teaches” about the Saints and the Blessed Mother, how I’ll informed Catholics “believe”, and how their misbelief is construed to be the teaching of the church.

@@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!

There was a little church just across the road that was mennonite, so I thought this would be interesting so I have be attending their services and have enjoyed them.

Baptists are well known here, but the number of adherents is much lower than Catholics, Anglicans or Uniting. Unlike some others posting, I consider your reports to be very straightforward and objective. They've introduced me to schools of belief and practice with which I'd had limited experience and I've appreciated that. Please keep up the good work.

Hello Joshua! Thank you for all of the labor you have put into producing these videos! I stumbled across your channel a couple of years ago and was amazed that something so obscure and specific could be presented with such excellence! I have found your channel to be helpful as a quick reference guide in parsing out the differences to better understand the variety of Christian denominations. I work as the director of a citywide prayer ministry in Terre Haute, Indiana. I’ve been in this ministry for 10 years and began launching efforts to unify the Body of Christ through worship and prayer 7 years before that. I don’t have an interest or even a need to go in-depth on my own studying every denomination, but I do want to try to better understand the people of God attending the 174 churches in my county so I can do a better job of finding ways to bring people together for the glory of Jesus! I have learned so much through watching your videos and have gained a greater appreciation for the spectrum of Church traditions with all of their variety. Thanks again, and may the Lord bless you for your hard work and commitment to accuracy. It’s almost impossible to find an unbiased source for information on social media, especially in regard to this type of content.

Thanks for leaving a comment! I am glad to hear that this channel has been helpful. People like you are my target audience. I always thought that folks who are doing ministry should have an easier time of figuring out what the people in their own city believe. I am actually surprised that more denominations aren't putting out KZbin videos in this style about themselves. But I'm happy to fill in the gap!

LCMS pastor here, your videos are a version of a seminary class that I had and a book I had to read back in the day, "Religious Bodies of North America." Well done.

I belong to an ELCA Lutheran church in Alabama but have had many questions about Christian Theology for most of my life. Your channel has helped me formulate more comforting answers to my questions than any other pastor or bible scholar. Thanks for your factual and well organized lectures.

The most important thing you do well, that is very rare on KZbin, is that you present each demonimation's teachings in their own words, and from their own perspective, rather than from the perspective of their critics.

I also appreciate your professional style and the excellence of your producing. I believe your series is a great service to all who are interested in Christian denominations.

Thanks for doing these well produced videos. It is apparent that you put a great deal of time and effort into their development. I had to smile when you mentioned high content density. Sometimes it can feel like I’m drinking from a fire hose, so I stop, rewind, play again to be sure of what you have said. I could see how the students in your class find it challenging to take notes during one of your lectures.

Love your videos. I have watched maybe 10 or so. So far, I have been wonderfully pleased to see how balanced and informative the videos have been. Based upon my own research and personal participation in various denominations during my own faith journey, I believe that you have clearly, accurately and objectively articulated the viewpoints of several groups I am intimately familiar with. Your objectivity has generated a confidence to weigh your information about groups that I have little or no information regarding. Keep up the good work!!

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.

Algorithm is so advanced that I just thought how it didn't pop up one of your videos for awhile and how I'm curious on your denomination. Lo and behold this video shows up. For what it's worth, I thought you might be a baptist. I was raised in a Roman Catholic tradition and while technically never left I was baptized trough one Christian movement and developed interest for history, schisms, doctrines, denominations and basically all things church. I'm not sure how good that actually is. Every pastor or priest I've talk to pretty much have their own understanding of unity and the body of Christ. When I came to Christ I could not imagine divisions - all I saw was a cross. But sorry for the ramble, I really like the channel and have profited from the information you shared - thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing these important information. You are a great teacher, I have not found this information anywhere else. It's really important to me since I am 70yrs old and have attended lots of different denominators and didn't understand what they were teaching. I do believe in the Trinity and that the only way to salvation is through our Lord Jesus Christ. I now attend calvery Chapel in Puerto Rico.

I stumbled across your videos a while back and have thoroughly enjoyed them. I'm a Baptist pastor and have often heard people say things about others, even other Baptist groups, that just wasn't accurate. Honestly, your videos are the most unbiased, straightforward, and informative videos on the subject of different denominations I've come across. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Barry, your experience is the same as mine. I'm a strong believer in representing people correctly, even when you disagree, and find that so much of the discussion around denominations can tend toward misrepresentation. So I am glad you found the channel and that it's helpful!
