Those who reject biblical sexual morality, also turn out to be those who also Reject biblical Christology and Biblical injunctions to keep our word when we agree to certain things in our ordinations and so on.

    • @danielhixon8209

      no, I am a member of the Anglican church in North America (ACNA). It was originally a rallying place for conservatives and evangelicals who left the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada do to revisionist theology in those bodies. However, the ACNA has been robustly, planting new congregations, and I believe most of the members now have no connection or history with the Episcopal Church at all.

    Wesley obviously at some point abandoned the Articles of religion of the Church of England, as they were totally calvinistic and Wesley was totally arminian. Wesley also abandoned any pretense of high liturgy and the Methodists in America were viewd as the "pentecostals" of their day. So if a Methodist receives ordination in ACNA, are they required to give assent to the Articles of Religion? Wesley totally eliminated any notion of calvinism in the Methodist Artilces, and eliminated even the creeds

    • @danielhixon8209
      @danielhixon8209 3 дня назад

      I do affirm the 39 Articles and so did Wesley. There is a common misunderstanding that the Articles teach 5-point Calvinism, but actually the 39 Articles pre-date the Synod of Dort by more than a generation. The Articles do affirm predestination (and so does the Bible), but they are silent on the disputed issues of whether election is conditional or unconditional, and they do not teach limited atonement (in fact, I would say that they actually affirm universal atonement). Furthermore the Anglican Book of Homilies (mentioned in the Articles) affirms that one can "fall away" from salvation. So the classic Anglican formularies are simply not 5-point Calvinism. Wesley shortened the Articles of Religion for use by the Methodists, but his changes are generally omissions, and it cannot be inferred that he rejects a doctrine simply because he does not mention it. For example, while he deletes the Article on the Creeds, his revised version of the Book of Common Prayer that he prepared specifically for the Early Methodists to use contains the Apostles' Creed and - while he also omits the Article on Christ's descent into Hell - he does, of course, keep that line in the Apostles' Creed and wants his "spiritual children" in Early Methodism to affirm these words each and every Sunday. This connects to the question of liturgy as well - Wesley intended for the American Methodists to continue using a revised version of the Common Prayerbook; while the formal liturgy was often neglected (though never entirely abandoned) on the American frontier, the Methodist churches in England that emerged after Wesley's death were always more liturgical than their American cousins, and I think this would have been Wesley's own preference. When Wesley affirms that he believes all of the English Articles, I take him at his word. I also can affirm them, while holding a Wesleyan understanding.

      @@danielhixon8209 This is interesting. I am a Baptist historian, and have often had to debate those who teach that Baptists were overwhelmingly Calvinist, which is not the case. Of course the Particular Baptists were, and the General Baptists were Arminian, but the vast majority of Baptists were in between those two extremes, at least in America. Yet many historians claim they were Calvinsts because they used the words "chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world". To those Baptists, this meant a corporate election, not individual. Christ is the elect of God, and those found in Him are predestined to sanctification and glorification, (adoption found in Ephesians, which means "son placement"). How do you interpret the statement in the 39 articles which says "Predestination to Life is the everlasting purpose of God, whereby (before the foundations of the world were laid) he hath constantly decreed by his counsel secret to us, to deliver from curse and damnation those whom he hath chosen in Christ out of mankind, and to bring them by Christ to everlasting salvation, as vessels made to honour"?

    The Epistals are full of warnings about false teachers, false Prophets, and false Christ. The mainline Traditional Churches, came short in not staying in tune with the warnings, or the O.T. Prophesies about the very last days like in Mathew 24, and key scriptures about when Israel becomes a NATION (1948), and that being a SIGN to the Gentile Churches to the VERY LAST DAYS, and a signal to when the Jews will return back home, and when the Temple is about to be REBUILT, and when those dry barren lands "bud" again. *2 Thessalonians 2:3 speaks expressly about A FALLING AWAY (Christian Culture!), just before "the Son of Perdition," (Global Leader)Anti Christ). At 75 I have been following the progress of the Ecumenical Movement the old mainline Churches taught on, that in today's language would call "GLOBAL Church," or look up the "Abrahamic House/CHRISLAM on Y-Tube, and Pope Frances/CHRISLAM. I salute those of you whose eyes have opened up to what "United ______" means now! Even the use of the word "Global_____!". Also, the mindset trend that "we all serve the same God!" NO WE DO NOT!!! The new emerging Global Church embraces all World Religions, ancient Eastern Religions, Luciferians, anchient Greek gods, Roman gods, animal gods, Marine god's, Celestial gods, weather god's, Hybreds gods, (all demi-gods), self diest/Humanism/Aquarian. Jews and Bible oriented Christians only serve ONE God, all world Religions serve one of MANY god's. Look up Nervana in Hindu and Buddest Religions that all the sum total of humans who died, come together in ONE force, not ONE God. Even the Mns and Witnesses do not believe Jesus is Lord, that he is an exalted being, or just a Prophet.

      Yes, though it didn't make it into the final cut of this video, I definitely felt like the (often very loud) online hand-wringing over women's orders or the new archbishop or what have you was not really reflective of the atmosphere of the Assembly. Some of the issues and concerns were discussed to be sure, but it seemed to me without the anxiety or pearl-clutching that sometimes seems to accompany the online chatter. It was a reminder of the real difference that can exist between online discourse and what is really happening 'on the ground.'

    Slow-mo conversion: We're seeing a lot of that nowadays among social media influencers: Russell Brand, Cat Von Dee, Kurt Jaimungal. Even Rogan is "experimenting" with Christianity. These days, I believe people need to read it for themselves. What does the Bible actually say? *Then* they can wrestle with: What does this mean? How has this been interpreted in the past? What about now? This requires discipline, however. That may be the biggest value in Jordan's book studies. He's introducing people to the Bible. If they are down for it, they can branch out to further study, not taking Jordan's assessment as dogma.

They need to know that "this" is all going to be worth it. I approve, as long as the validation doesn't involve throwing women under the bus. In my opinion, the backlash response to our currently gender-insane society has opened the door for rampant misogyny. Interestingly, this has occurred on both the left and right sides of the aisle.

    Daniel, welcome to the ACNA! A native of Pollock (who has now lived in North Carolina for 35 years), I would never have dreamed that a Methodist church in Jena would have an Anglican minister. God is doing marvelous things, and we are on the cusp of something great, I think! Your serving as an Anglican minister (deacon, soon to be presbyter) in a Methodist church recalls the memorializing by several presbyters of House of Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church in 1853 to make certain changes to the canons that would make the Protestant Episcopal Church more evangelistically agile. Most of the presbyters (priests) who put forth the memorial (a sort of resolution that wasn't a formal parliamentary resolution) were High Churchmen or, as their leader William Augustus Muhlenberg described himself, Evangelical Catholics. The relevant portion of the Memorial to your circumstance is this: ________________________________________________________ Their memorial proceeds on the assumption that our Church, confined to the exercise of her present system, is not sufficient to the great purposes abovementioned-that a wider door must be opened for admission to the Gospel ministry, than that through which her candidates for holy orders are now obliged to enter. Besides such candidates among her own members, it is believed that men can be found among the other bodies of Christians around us, who would gladly receive ordination at your [episcopal] hands, could they obtain it, without that entire surrender which would not be required of them, of all the libery in public worship to which they have been accustomed-men, who could not bring themselves to conform in all particulars to our prescriptions and customs, but yet sound in the faith, and who, having the gifts of preachers and pastors, would be able ministers of the New Testament. ________________________________________________________ It now appears that this Gospel liberty that the Memorialists of over a century and half ago wrote in support of, that ministers of other traditions might be able to receive holy orders at the hands of our bishops, is being advanced in the the ordination by bishops (in the Anglican Church of North America) of ministers from other denominational traditions like yourself who are encouraged to exercise their enlarged ministry still within those traditions, without the congregations having to surrender what it is that makes (or made) them Methodist, or Reformed, etc.d Thanks be to God.

      I think the GMC will most likely be very solid - their first real General Conference is in September so we will know with more certainty after that. I do know some former-UMC folks, however, who wanted to choose another group because they do not agree with the ordination of women (particularly as elders/presbyters to pastor churches), and see this as basically a concession to modernism. For folks like that I bet there are some other broadly Wesleyan churches where they could find a good fit; also the ACNA might be a good option for them as well (some diocese ordain women as presbyters/priests; most do not).

    • @danielhixon8209
      @danielhixon8209 18 дней назад

      Some of the BCP content is in the UM Hymnal. If you are looking for a BCP I would recommend either the 2019 Book of Common Prayer of the Anglican Church in North America (you can purchase through their publisher’s website) or the Book of Common Prayer of 1662, international Edition published by IVP and available at many booksellers. The 1662 is the BCP that Wesley grew up with; the 2019 is very similar, but uses more contemporary English and includes some material that is influenced by the ecumenical movement and the liturgical renewal movement of the 20th century.

    Anglicanism affirms predestination in the 39 articles. Wesley was hostile towards it. To deny predestination is to not be Anglican.

    • @danielhixon8209
      @danielhixon8209 21 час назад

      Yes Anglicanism does affirm predestination, and it should because the Bible affirms predestination. So does John Wesley. if you want to know more about Wesley‘s approach, he has a short sermon called “on predestination“ and also a treatise on predestination that is a bit longer. For Wesley, the main question is whether that election is unconditional (as with five point Calvinism) or whether it is conditioned upon God foreknowledge of our faithful response. Wesley argues for conditional election. also at issue (and related to this) is whether God elects people as individuals (“Jimmy is elected”), or as a group who meets a certain condition (“all who have faith in Christ are elect“). in any case, the Anglican articles of religion do not address the issue of conditional versus unconditional election at all. Nor do the Articles actually affirm the Calvinist belief in limited atonement (at times they sound more like Wesley in their emphasis that Christ has died for all). this is why so many Anglicans who affirm the 39 articles are non-Calvinist and have been since the 1600s.

      Essentially, many (if not most) of the clergy and especially the bishops and leaders in the USA no longer believe what the Bible teaches about sexual morality, marriage, and a number of other issues (some object to the idea of Jesus being the only way to the Father). The General Conference has now embraced the LGBTQPIA+ agenda and UMC boards and agencies will be training people to accept same-sex relationships. The Churches in Africa and other parts of the world that want to stay true to the Bible will need to decide whether they want to remain a part of the UMC. A few conferences have already voted to leave the UMC, and I suspect there will be many more to follow.

    I sent this message to Pastor Hall on his video discussing similar concern. Perhaps you too can address my post. Thank you: Dear Pastor, it seems to me that the group that opposed the vote and decided to split over the decision were not honest from the beginning. Let me explain. The church should have NOT included homosexuality in the book of discipline, where it can come up for a vote. If the church did not want any concession in favor of gay rights in the church, they should have been honest from the beginning and created permanent unchangeable rules for certain issues. For example 1) no women leadership or votes in church, 2) no gay people or their allies allowed as church members or on any church or affiliate premises, 3) etc .... The book of discipline is also a bad idea, for the following reasons. Firstly, those leaders and congregants who are completely obedient to the commands of the Bible will have to be on guard constantly, not sure when the church will decide to go against the Bible (as in this case), 2) those members of the church like the gay congregants, or women who want to be in leadership position in the church, will have false hope that the church will bend the rules in their favor against the Bible. If the church is to be true to it's biblical creed, then it should stay true to the commands in the Bible. By making concessions to one group over another, the church creates injustices that is not rooted in the Bible. . The fact that there are more than one Christian denomination is already a problem. To that end, the church is already engaged in sin before the issues of women in church leadership or the concerns over homosexuality. The entire church is in sin already. The issue of women leaders and homosexuality in the church are easy enough to fix. The most difficult sin for the church is separating from literal biblical commands, in favor of interpretations of the word. The problem for the church leadership, in following the Bible as written, is that there will be very little need for pastors and theologians whose jobs are to interpret (in other words, bend) the word of God. I think interpreting the words of the Bible to mean something else rather than what it says on its face is blasphemous. I imagine you will agree with me fundamentally. The division that we have in the church is unnecessary, if everyone just follows the biblical commands. There should only be the direct translation from the original manuscripts and type of Christian belief. By having all these interpretations, it turn every church leader and congregant into blasphemers and sinners destined to hell. This is certainly not right. All the interpretations and denomination are leading every one away from God. I am personally not a Christian and I can't ever see myself as one. As a black person, I do not see Christianity as favorable to black people, just as it is not favorable to gay people or women who want church leadership roles. I believe there should only be ONE SINGULAR DISCUSSION..., YOU FOLLOW THE BIBLE COMPLETELY or YOU ARE NOT PER OF THE CHURCH. With clear division along biblical lines, Christian believers know exactly where they stand in the church, and non Christians also know where they belong (ie., not last of the church). With clear distinction, everyone in the whole world will know the true Christians to pseudo Christians who are simply waiting to interpret God's words and bend the rules in their own favor. Can you address what I have raised above? Much appreciated.

    Basically you left the UMC because you want to exclude people, and that is not what Jesus would do!

    Roman Catholics are misunderstanding Matthew 16:18. The confession that "Jesus is the Christ the Son of God" is the only foundational truth that Christ builds His church on. Peter’s confession is the rock.

      I agree. But I'm not sure how that relates to what I've said in this video.

    I appreciate your insights into this, an issue with which I have struggled. I was unaware of John Wesley's writings on the subject, and they (along with Lewis's as well as your own thoughts) are persuasive. I'm not sure I could easily convince my fellow Nazarenes, but at least when I encounter these things in the prayer book I can now pray with confidence. Thank you.

    Well, this is an interesting topic that I'm glad you are discussing in your video. Another place there is a prayer for the dead is in the litany on page 495 of the UMC BOW. It comes from the BCP. Personally, coming from the more evangelical UMC background I did, I can't ever remember us doing anything in church other than praying for a deceased person's family. The BOW was almost never followed in anything. I left that congregation when they disaffiliated and joined another UMC that is decidedly more High Church by Methodist standards. In the time I've been there, I remember one occasion that the pastor explicitly included a prayer for a lady that had recently died in his pastoral prayer. He was almost apologetic about it though, saying something to the effect of us being Methodists and we can do that, you know. At the time I thought that if we were back at my former church, they would be aghast at such a thing and calling the DS (except they no longer had a DS to call). However, I do pray for peace and rest for the souls of the departed in my own private prayers, especially for those recently departed. I usually say something like "... according to your will for them." I don't see anything wrong with that. The way I look at it, at least from our perspective, Christ hasn't yet returned to judge the living or the dead. If we can pray for the salvation of living people, then why can we not pray for the salvation of the dead as well?

      Yes, you are exactly right about the Litany on page 495 in the UMC Book of Worship, thank you for reminding me about that one. As you note, it is another element of Methodist liturgy that is borrowed from the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, and it is a good one to include. I have at times used UMBOW 495 in Sunday worship and also in my private prayers in years past. We could also include the Prayers of the People from the Daily Praise services in the UMC Hymnal (p. 876-9) which lead us to pray "for the communion of saints..." I neglected to mention in my video, but John Wesley says in several places I could find that he considered the Lord's Prayer petitions "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" to implicitly include prayer for the faithful departed.

    Yes! Whenever I read the Torah, I’ve always felt like it was a promise god was making to us. I feel like people think that just because WE can’t do it that it can’t be done. But Jesus said that with God all things are possible! God did not say “you must be blameless before the Lord, your God” he says “You shall be blameless” meaning that if you believe what he’s said, you will be blameless. But like you said, it’s not because of our power or strength that we fulfill the promises that God made us, but by his grace, through Jesus Christ, our savior! My biggest concern with Calvinism is that what I’ve read about it takes away all hope I have to evangelize and spread the Gospel to as many people as I possibly can. Knowing that anyone who believes can be saved gives me the hope that God can save my family and friends and coworkers, and neighbors and countrymen. I am curious how Wesleyan theology resolves Romans 9, because personally, I think that is the only leg Calvinism has to stand on, and I personally don’t understand why the Bible would say “God so loved the WORLD”, if salvation was only for a chosen few?
