I'll also add that a lot of Galileo's issue was that he was being kind of a jerk(still a lot of historical debate about whether this was intentional) by putting the Pope's objections, in a book he wrote in Italian(writing in the common language, rather than Latin was a very anti-establishment move at the time), in the mouth of a character named Simplicio, meaning buffoon, and that he refused to show his work and answer the Pope's theological concerns. This was also only about a decade or two after Martin Luther's 95 Theses so the Catholics were very paranoid about any challenges to their supposed authority at the time.

[@PabloVelasco-hr3ko]

Galileo was twisting scripture to justify his belief, not because we Catholics were paranoid about authority. Also he was teaching his theory as fact while not having sufficent proof. Go to your local uni and teach some crack pot idea with NO PROOF and see how long you stay as a teacher.

[@jdotoz]

He also claimed to be on firmer scientific ground than he was. Yes, he turned out to be mostly correct, but he didn't have enough evidence at the time.

[@peregry]

It also didn't help Galileo's case that his model of planetary motion... didn't conform to the history of observations and could not make accurate predictions for the future. A lot of folks get wrapped up in the fact he was right about heliocentrism, but ignore the fact he was completely WRONG regarding orbits, Galileo believed orbits to be perfect circles. As Kepler later figured out, orbits are NOT circles, they're elliptical, and that makes a MASSIVE difference when you start trying to use circle orbits to calculate the positions of planets. Meanwhile, the model of the solar system in use at the time, a hybrid model that actually assumed the sun, moon and outer planets orbited Earth while the Inner planets orbited the sun, was actually MORE PREDICTIVE of planetary motion and BETTER FIT the historically recorded positional data. In other words, Galileo was actually in many ways LESS scientific than the Catholic Church at the time, as he refused to consider other options even when his model did not fit observed data.

[@peregry]

@@jdotoz No, he wasn't "mostly correct", his model was less predictive of planetary motion than either the full geocentric model complete with epicycles or the hybrid model that I mentioned. The ONLY things his model got correct were the relative positions of the planets AND heliocentrism. But his model could not be taken, plugged in any date, and then accurately predict the location the planets would be in the night sky. Thus he was wrong about SIX OTHER aspects of his model (the orbits of the known planets at the time). Last I checked getting that much of an assignment observably wrong was a failing grade. :P

God spanks Israel again. Israel says sorry. God: I forgive you. So much so that I'll send you a Messiah. Israel: Cool. God: So stop chasing my prophets away. Later... Israel betrays God and kills prophets. God spanks Israel. God: This is your last warning. Your punisment will last 400 years since I just can't get through to you. Come back when you are called.

5:02 I want to add a point on the conquest part. The reason why the crusades happened was because of the culture which influenced the European countries at that time. Some of the European nations, particularly the Anglo Saxons, based their societies on pride and honour. So when the gospel was preached to them, they could not understand the basis of the message so they twisted it to suit their beliefs. Since they thought that it was shameful for Jerusalem to be captured by the Muslims, they thought it was honourable for them to recapture in the name of the Lord. When in actuality, it was based on their pride. So that’s why the subsequent crusades weren’t as successful compared to the first one, as they are not moving in the will of God

For those interested...Truth: 1) Christianity includes science 2) Christianity spread because it's the only God created / human discovered Way of Life 3) Christianity unites, but imperfect humans (including dedicated spiritually immature Christians) oppress themselves and others 4) Christians temporarily go to the paradise component of current heaven (e.g. soul is saved) and everyone else temporarily goes to Hades. When the new heaven/earth is here, on Judgement Day, either each human's soul is redeemed and their spiritual body is united with God and others in the new heaven eternally, or the human's soul is destroyed and spiritual body is eternally separated from God in hell. 5) One of God's many types of perfection is teleios (constantly spiritually maturing), hence God from Old to New Testament. 6) There is one Truth. The rare "narrow is the path" spiritually maturing Christians are one with the Truth: God gives free will (there is no predestination), real baptism (e.g. establishing spiritual connection with God) naturally eventually happens after a human starts and grows a relationship with God, etc. 7) Christians have discovered more of God and His/our reality over time...but the Truth hasn't changed.

I wouldn't say that when they lost 80% of their population yeah, it helped in the long run for everyone via the colombian exchange but you also have the Spanish getting millions killed in Iron Mines

Tbh I don't think young earth creationism is wrong. Talking just the fundamentals, most Hebrew scholars say the account of Genesis is written as a history book, not a metaphor. And evolution would be impossible in the 6 days of creation. Death came into the world after Adam and Eve sinned. What God made was perfect. How can you have evolution with no death? This is a very fundamental flaw in the compatibility of the Word and billions of years.

Thank you for this video. I am a history major and people don't think about the history of Christianity and the overall good its had on the world. People see the bad oppressive Christians and surmise that all Christians are like that.

[@astroboy6515]

11:35 is one of the most curious sections about salvation. I heard a sermon by a w tozer on this. He said that heaven isnt full of Earth's garbage. He said that to truly embrace Christ is to truly change into a good person. Certainly we ARE only saved through our faith of our LORD, but surely God wouldnt just overlook say, a pedo's sins just because he says he praises Christ. He would forgive him, but only if he was truly repentant. Part of the glory of God is that everybody has an individual relationship with him.

I went to public school in Missouri, and I can’t say we were taught any of those things. Maybe it’s different on the East Coast. Heck, my biology teacher even told us that she was a Christian before teaching us evolution. From what I remember, the only time I noticed a negative slant to Christianity is when we were taught about the Crusades and the Spanish inquisition.

the video makes some valid points about the history of Christianity and its core doctrines. however, it oversimplifies complex historical issues like the spread of Christianity, its relationship with oppression, and the diversity of biblical interpretations. it also downplays the impact of key historical figures and events like Constantine and the Council of Nicaea. while aiming for objectivity, the video's presentation is somewhat biased in favor of minimizing criticisms of Christianity.

[@Comrade_Alpaca]

I grew up in a Christian school and even I thought that Galileo was sentenced to death by the Catholic Church. It's actually a shock to learn that he was only sentenced to imprisonment. Granted, he was threatened with the death penalty if he continued to proclaim heliocentrism, but I was always under the impression that he didn't back down and was put to death.

[@camerapasteurize7215]

I'm not saying you need to believe it, but I seriously recommend taking an actual deep research dive into young earth Creationism. It's not some anti-science movement. It's tens of thousands of Christian scientists in multiple scientific organizations applying as direct a scientific process as possible to confirm or deny their theories. This whole video is about "debunking lies told about Christianity," yet less than 5 minutes in you reinforce one of the biggest lies about a very large number of Christians.

Hey Zoomer, you should make a video debunking common misconceptions about the Puritans.

Open Communist Arthur Miller has the monopoly on defaming the Puritans, specifically with his propaganda The Crucible being taught by retarded English teachers everywhere. It's difficult to fathom that by contrast, pretty much everybody you ever ask will have no idea what a "Holodomor" is. The death toll difference is only about 10-11 million minus 23 or so.
