    34:19. Patristics, that is the study of the Church Fathers, was born out of the Luther and the Reformers contesting the claims of Rome. It is a result of the Reformation, and looking at Trent, a purely Protestant endeavor. Rome was caught on her back foot trying to claim support from the Church Fathers that didn’t and still doesn’t exist today. I personally believe this is one of the reasons Rome developed the doctrine of “infallibility” in Vatican I. Then Rome would not have to appeal to the Church Fathers, but rather rely on its own circular logic to prove herself as “infallible”.

    @zacdredge3859 7 дней назад

    I liked the history and positive treatment of why you guys like Lutheranism and think it's good you could celebrate together the heritage of your tradition at this time. However... Maybe a disclaimer that 'Evangelical is an umbrella' was needed, ironically, given it is being compared to Lutheranism and last I checked it's possible to be both as one is not a denomination. Defining the use of the term maybe as well, sounds like a pejorative at times with some of that apect of the conversation being cringeworthy and giving a bit much of the zealous convert attitude. As someone who grew up in what I would describe as an evangelical Baptist context and remain so I tried to relate to the experiences shared in this video but much of it just doesn't seem that familiar to me. Maybe this is a geographical or cultural difference but it also seems there's a bit of over reaching when it comes to distinguishing Lutheranism in ways that don't seem to represent the background several of you guys came from in anything but its weaknesses or with anecdotes that assume them. The discussion around vocation(1:18:06) portrays this most clearly, projecting assumptions of pride and legalism on others without basis. Most people, when speaking of vocation, just mean finding something that suits the giftings and abilities God has given you. I have seen some charismatic contexts where there's such a high expectation to figure this out exactly right where it can become excessive but even there if someone was convinced God told them 'go be a janitor' then there would be no problem. I can't imagine any evangelical saying, even privately, that person was less valued or loved by God.

    In short, the reason someone won't like to be grouped by the word Protestantism is it implies that what binds them is that they are in common protest to the Catholic Church. That might be the only thing they can all agree upon, "we are just not that" so, thus, if someone can prove that the Catholic Church is the only Church founded by Christ and that no one, no matter how well intention can take that authority away from the Church God Himself founded and said, "Not even the gates of Hell shall prevail against it", well we can see why this might scare you. Embrace it. Learn your roots. Read the earliest Church fathers. Read the books stolen from you by your elders. Find the one true Faith, and finally feel free. May Christ always find you, and never leave you, Javier 🙏

    Let us not forget that Lutherans did force a reformation in the Roman church. Rome today is not what it was in 1517. Today it is the Trent Catholic Church. I suspect had Rome quickly called a council we would have remained i the Roman church. One thing I deplore is anti catholic sentiment I sometimes encounter in my LCMS. Some be Ie e that Catholics are not Christians. Our LCMS pastors must do a better job of teaching that we are closer to Rome than we are to most Protestants. Our Confessions asserts that we are in agreement with Rome and E Orthodox that Christ is truly and substantially present in the Eucharist. Sadly too many of our LCMS people do not believe that Eucharist is the body and blood of Christ. Instead there is this misunderstanding that the bread and wine somehow connect us to the body and blood. In so saying we deny the true substantial body and blood are there. When we distribute the elements we say “the body of Christ for you.” We do not say the body of Christ is under the bread as if we are to look underneath the wafer. It IS THE VODY AND BLOOD. it is not hidden underneath or in someway attached. IT IS!

    @bearistotle2820 7 дней назад

    Ecclesialist is a useless category. You basically grouping together all non-protestant Christians and declaring that should all be similar. Even though the Catholic and Orthodox and LDS churches DO NOT teach anything at all like a perspecuity of tradition, or the magisterium, or scripture. Protestantism is a term that makes sense and that Protestants themselves have accepted for centuries. Any of the groups you call Ecclesialists do not accept this label and group themselves like this. Edit: As this video carries on, it is clear that you do not understand Catholicism at all. The church doesn't lock *all* interpretarion to the papacy/magisterium. They have final interpretive authority. They very rarely come out and say that a scripture has one interpretation because there isn't a reason for them to do so. So, you're rebuttal insisting that we believe that scripture is so unclear that no one else can interpret the bible is maddening. We are saying these things are not clear enough to be the *sole infallible rule of faith*. We are not saying that the scriptures are so unclear that any private or popular interpretation is somehow invalid. I am extremely disappointed in the quality of the arguments you are using.

    I am a non-Christian, so I don't have a stake in this argument. My interest in Christianity stems from my Southern Baptist friend. She and her Oneness Pentecostal neighbor across the street claim that the Bible is God's inspired word and read it daily. Before reading, they both pray to the Holy Spirit and believe that the Holy Spirit guides them to the correct interpretation. However, after their readings, they arrive at opposing viewpoints. The Oneness Pentecostal Christian believes that to be saved, one must receive the Holy Spirit, evidenced by the ability to speak in tongues. If a person cannot speak in tongues, they are not saved. Additionally, they reject the concept of the Trinity, asserting that baptisms performed in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are invalid. Instead, they insist that baptism must be conducted in Jesus' name only. On the other hand, my Southern Baptist friend believes salvation comes through professing faith in Jesus Christ. This is done by reciting the "Sinner's Prayer" with sincerity. Once someone has done this, they are eternally secure in their salvation-meaning they cannot lose it, no matter how sinful they may become. For them, baptism is an essential ordinance. Still, it is not necessary for salvation, as it is merely symbolic, reflecting a public declaration of faith by those who have already been saved (often referred to as believer's baptism). Furthermore, only individuals who have reached the age of reason can be baptized, and if they choose to do so, it must be in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit because of the belief in the Trinity. These two individuals read the same Bible but interpret it differently. They hold opposing views on salvation, the nature of God, and the purpose of baptism. My questions are as follows: 1. Can these individuals hold radically different doctrines as long as they both use the Bible as their final authority for Christian faith and practice? Please explain your answer, whether it is yes or no. 2. If the meaning of the Bible is so clear and the Holy Spirit leads every Christian to interpret it for themselves, why are there so many denominations and millions of individual Christians, each interpreting the Bible differently? 3. Can anyone authoritatively arbitrate between Christians who claim to be led by the Holy Spirit into mutually contradictory interpretations of the Bible? 4. If Christians acknowledge that their interpretations of the Bible can be fallible, how can they label anything as heresy or attempt to bind another Christian to a particular belief?

      @@hc7385 "The preaching of the Word is a solemn moment and should not be trivialized. Each church is free to choose how often it is done, without mysticism." You see the issue here? The Supper feeds people with the grace and life of Christ every bit as much as the Word does. Because of this, it is absolutely central to Christian worship, and depriving people of it on a Sunday is just as severe as depriving them of the Word.
