Bishop Mari is wrong about his comments on Protestants. You cannot lump them all together. Confessional Lutherans do believe that marriage, baptism, communion are sacraments because they were instituted by God. Please see my other comments above. We do believe that the bread and wine are the true body and blood of Christ, and that Christ is “present” with and under the bread and wine. Catholics believe differently from Orthodox and Lutherans. Mari got this one wrong, sorry. It is very frustrating for someone like him, who is well-respected, to spread false-information about the Lutheran faith. (Confessional Lutherans are the true Lutheran Church. The Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) split off and are very unbiblical regarding certain doctrines. They should not be considered Lutheran. Many Protestant branches are the same - allowing gay marriage, even in the pulpit, is an abomination to God. We are NOT in that category.
YOOOOOOOOOOO this is amazing !!!! I love this and i was almost being like this because i don't want believers to reject all the truth. Like i would not argue the big subject but the little ones and more and more the time continue God will allow them to accept the truth
Provided that acceptance is not rationalizing denial of truth or current sin yes. Where the Bible makes clear something is right or wrong we are commanded to confront it. Someone brought up chapter 12 of 2nd Corinthians, but we must remember Paul then went on in chapter 13 that those still unrepentant needed to repent before he arrived again because not one would be spared otherwise.
@@Kyrillos_hishmat “in order for him to love you” I don’t believe that’s true. Sure, he may want you to do what he says, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you, that would be cruel.
wait so im not like going to any church yet. how does it work? i am confused, because if it is the physical body oif jeuss christ, is he being sacraficed over and over again for our sins? is it not just a reminder that he is the bread which is broken, so that we may be fixed as he said it was for rememberance? and when jesus says that if you do not eat the flesh and drink his blood, then u have no life in you, is this not figurative? because then our life or our salvation is based on doing this work every month or every week, then is salvation not based on works? if that verse that says "he who doesnt eat the flesh and drink the blood has no life" is literal than salvation is works based. if it is figurative, saying we must spiritually eat the flesh and drink the blood of christ, just as we must be baptised by the spirit, not necessarily water, to be saved, then communion is also figurative representation and reminder of jesus being broken so we may be fixed.

he is Orthodox, not Catholic, you often see Orthodox crosses from him, and Byzantine icons, but that is not the most important thing, above all, he is a man who has God in him
And what do you think being a catholic means? I suggest you to study a bit the history of the Catholic Church, get some authentical references from the Catholic Church. Spoiler: Catholics are Christians.

Eastern Orthodox here, the spirit of our Church is that of mourning and humility and we welcome all to join us. Edit: People seem to be confused about the mourning part, and its sad so EO are jumping on Prot train of thought. Ok lets explain, “Blessed are those who mourn”? What about the attitude during Metanoia? What about us being taught mourning over ones sins is an act of contrition that deepens humility? What about the attitudes during Lent? meditating and mourning over the periods? We take this way of life and attitude very seriously for there is wisdom and grace in it.
I'm a Pentecostal Protestant. I'm not making fun of the Orthodox. But, what are you mourning? Christ is alive, off the cross, out of the tomb and sitting next to His Father, as we speak. What is there to mourn about? REJOICE, my brother. I'm truly curious about why one would mourn. I'm not looking for a fight, like most on RUclips. I'm just trying to understand.
@@freedomisntfree131Yes, Christ is alive, He's resurrected, but before this, He's passed through His Passion, and He didn't laugh during the Passion. If we want to take part with Christ, we have to pass through the Passion too.

Mohammd has disobeyed all commandments of God, which means he disobeyed God himself. Mohammd has killed, raped, did child marriage, married his sons wife, owned sex slaves and so on. Mohammd drastically died from poison by Jewish woman, a very normal human. Even God didn't warn him and mohammd can't predict his future. Mohammd can't predict his own future, how will he predict his followers future? Jesus predicted his death and resurrection, that happened. Jesus himself said he is the Son of God. Jesus said he will be next to his father in heaven. Jesus has done godly miracles like giving life to dead bodies and many similar ones.
I feel so attached to the Covenanters and Martyrs of the Protestant/ Presbyterian faith in Scotland. I think Protestants need to go back to that humble deep faith based on education. Scotland created schools so everyone could read the Bible, last 30 years we have fallen big time.
I agree to some extent...as I tend to lean more reformed and love how they're so in love with God's word and understanding it. But part of me also thinks too much fixation on the education/knowledge can lead you astray. Over fixating on words and potential meaning when dealing with the supernatural has to lead to wrong turns here and there. I mean, we were for hidden from eating from the tree of knowledge. Sometimes being obedient and having faith is required, and not having 100% pure knowledge and understanding. Paralysis by analysis, if you will. I think it has to be beneficial to go back to the 1st and 2nd century and see just how Christians were doing things. And the supernatural has to involve other things than just your brain, because our brain can only comprehend the natural. The correct answer ino has to lie somewhere in the middle.

As long as Christ Jesus is our foundation, we are one. Who was it that said not to argue over doctrine?.. anyway, as a protestant I call all Christians my brothers and sisters in Christ. As an aside, Mar Mari Emanuel has shown me a lot of Orthodoxy Faith, and I really like it. Over many years I have learnt that Catholics are Christians too, I once believed that they weren't. One body with many parts. 🎉 Hallelujah.
Regardless of our denomination, be it Catholic , Orthodox or protestant, we need to be born again to enter Gods kingdom. The parable of the wheat and tares is very sobering. We are saved by grace alone. But a true faith is not alone. We are taught in the Word of God, that we are known by our fruit,{works}. Bless you.
This is why I as a Catholic can attend an Orthodox Mass and it is considered the equivalent of attending a Catholic Mass. God Bless all my Greek Orthodox friends from growing up in Queens NYC
There are those who tend to transcend religion and simply follow Jesus Christ and God's word. I love my brothers and sisters, feel that all sects of Christendom are in error to some degree or other, and some are outright deceived and apostate. Like the Bishop says, we must always appeal to and follow the Holy Spirit.
The true followers of Christ are called Muslims. What's called "Christianity" is also from the Middle East, like Islam. but, it is originally a distorted version of Islam like other religions. There is only one true religion from the beginning, which is submission/Surrender to God and worshiping Him alone. In Arabic, its name is "Islam", and it is the religion of all the prophets and it is the religion to which they called. Islam is the truth. I invite you all to Islam, to worship the one true God, being devoted to Him, the religion alone with no partners. The first and last religion is the religion of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and The last and final profit Muhammad ﷺ, and all the prophets, may blessings and peace be upon them. all the prophets are Muslims. They did not worship a man named Jesus, or associate others with God, or worship three gods in one god. But only one God. This is the logic, history and reality. Just try reading the Qur'an, even if it is out of curiosity, Also read the Bible and all the other holy books if you want, and compare them with the Qur’an to distinguish truth from falsehood and light from darkness. or watch the debates between Muslims and Christians, atheists, and others. ..., For example, I advise you to consider the preacher Muhammad Ali, owner of TheMuslimLantern channel, Othman Farouk, or Ahmed Deedat, may God have mercy on him.
Amen! I believe many believers from many different churches are truly saved and have the Holy Spirit with them. It comes down to Jesus! Faith in Him, He creates a new heart in you, new desires! He will lead you to the Father
I love you Jesus! May we all unite as your followers 🙏 im non-denominational but we are all one in the body of Christ. I love you all too. We can have our difference in opinion when it comes to traditions but we ought to agree on doctrine. Christ is King above all, Thank you Father for your love, thank you Son of Man for your sacrifice, salvation and teachings & thank you Holy Spirit for your wisdom & gentleness. What an incredible God filled with majesty and mystery
It is only baptist that says it is symbolic. In Lutheranism we also acknowlegdes the true presents of Christ in the Holy Comminion as the true body and blood of Christ.
I See brothers and sisters arguing in the comments which is the "right" church. John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me" I pray that all christians loose their pride and stand together against the evil in this world.

@@miguelpaivabezerra34 Why, because they believe in the sacraments? We believe the hine represents Jesus' blood that was shed for us all. We believe that the bread is a symbol for his body that was beaten for us so we can be healed. There is no evidence, anywhere, in the transubstantiation. My faith in Jesus is totally based on Him and not any sacraments. Any veneration of Mary or any saint is a lie. Praying to them is heresy.
@@bcalvert321 Dude, do you know what IS means? I Think you do but have you ever read in The Bíble Jesus saying: This represents my body and This my blood? I Think not IS means IS and MANY were scandilized Because of It... Jesus never said otherwise...

Veneration is paying respect to The examples of faith Those people were... And Marian veneration above other venerations acts out like the veneration of The Ark of The Old Convenant, as Mother Mary is the Ark of New The Convenant If Mary deserves so much, can you Think of what we give to Jesus in adoration? You guys act like that because our concepts of adoration are different in some ways... Mere veneration to us might look like adoration to you because as Catholics The Mass is The Biggest way we have to praise The Lord! I recomend you search in Catholic Channels about the Mass.
@@bcalvert321 Also our concepts of "prayers" are different too, we see it as an petition to God o The Saints who are all heaven and who are pretty Much alive (The Saints) and well awere of us on earth... To put It simply (I'll give an example), It goes like that: I have an relative who has eyesight problems ----> I ask Saint Luzia (As she is The patron Saint of eyesight, because of The life she lived) to pray for my relative so He/she can be cured ------> Both prayers reach Jesus and by consequence God The Father, and Because Saints are in The Glory of heaven Their prayers are stronger, but God has His time to do things As time passes, if I keep praying and asking intercession of Saint Luzia, One day God might peform The miracle. Asking intercession only adds to our prayers
I use’t to go to an Anglican Church then I had a vision of death praying plus a dream from God too to say to leave and that it was being led by the devil (adorned in gold and jems) they were a good “biblical based” church but without the spirit. In another dream God told me to go to an Orthodox Church (in the dream he gave me the name of it+ I didn’t know it existed). He showed me because I asked. I said I like this church but there’s these things that don’t sit right, what do you (God) think? Then he gave me that vision and dream. Then I didn’t know where to go and he fixed that for me too. Blessed and loving and awesome is our Father who looks after us so well ❤
As an eastern Orthodox Christian, the main thing that I like about our church is that we believe in asking the lord for answers for all things mysterious and confusing. We don’t come up with our own theories and interpretations of the bible. That is why we have only two Orthodox branches in more than two thousand years, those two differ very little from each other. Personally I call protestant churches, philosophical churches, since the Protestant religion allows everyone who has knowledge of the Bible to interpret the Bible according to his/her personal understanding, there will not be an end for the creation of different types of denominations among the Protestants.
@@RationalJJ So you are saying that the teachings of the apostles, Jesus' direct disciples, are wrong, contrary to your interpretation 2000 years later?
Well said. I would also add though there is no 100% perfect denomination here on earth as yet. That will happen when Christ returns as the head of the one and only real Church, which will replace all current denominations. At the moment not even any one person here on earth is perfect but again that will change after Christ returns when true believers are resurrected or instantly changed when still alive, and receive new perfect eternal bodies. Until all that happens when Christ returns, we as individuals have to do our best with the help of the Holy Spirit to carry on as true believers in our imperfect and temporary bodies and churches. As with the Parable of the Ten Virgins, we must be like the five who took it upon themselves to obtain spare oil to be ready and prepared always for His return, be it when we are still alive or after we die before He returns. Keep waiting and watching with joy and anticipation as we know not when He will return. Amen.
Christ is one of the prophets of God. He is the servant of God and His Messenger. He calls for the worship of The one God alone. He is a Muslim and so are his followers. Do not ever think of yourselves as slaves of Christ. You have distorted the Gospels and introduced polytheism, superstitions and heresies into the religion. Now the churches have become homosexual, and as for the rape of children in churches by priests And monks, this is another topic entirely. The statistics for that are very frightening, although the statistics include only the incidents that were reported, which is much less than the real number. Praise be to God for the blessing of Islam, the true religion, the religion of Abraham and all the prophets. Save yourselves and your children from the shame and misguidance in which you are.
As a Lutheran I want to say that Protestantism is a term devoid of meaning. In Germany where I come from Lutheranism has direct ties to the apostolic succession and only got rid of those added things that were later added by papal decrees such as letters of absolution in exchange for donations. The sacraments are still kept. I believe it is similar with the anglican church. However there are some who tried to do more than that those were the calvinists, who make up the continental reformed churches and on whose teachings most of the radical reformation denominations as well as later evangelical denominations are based upon. So there are three types of protestantism, counter-papal which are nearly identical to apostolic churches except not acceptinng the authority of the pope (Anglican, Lutheran, maybe a few others), reformers (calvinist, anabaptist), evangelical (baptists, quakers etc.)
@@123iceboy i think you are saying we lutheran have the original bible by removing the added book(authority of the pope)? we know for how long popes was practicing absolute power given this i feel it will be hard to identify the original and add so by what measurement did u identify them. according to history Luther was seeking the true and original christian but how is getting the original possible do you think simply by saying Jesus please show us the true and original way can be achieved. today's world protestantism is by far different from Luther' wish.
@@annitmul1614 I understand thanks for the classification. First off the original Lutheran bible and some like me use that one today, still keeps the Septuagint only books (what Catholics call the deuterocanonicals). He didn't intend on removing them only to clarify they are not found in the Jewish canon found in the masoretic text. Which for him made them less auhoritatuve or even non-authoritative compared to OT and NT books. Which if you read the books in question you realize most of them add context to practices of first century Jews but they don't add any major insights that are helpful or necessary for christian doctrine. So I understand his view on those. Even though we know now that the Jewish canon we now know is newer than the christian canon. I believe that we are all brothers in christ and I do believe that the catholic church has come a long way since the time of Luther I just have an issue with the papal authority the celibacy of priests and papal infallibility. The first and last because of their historic implications, Paul IV, John XII, Urban II cough. The second because even the orthodox let married people become priests not bishops which is debatable, but that's at least something. Would I become catholic if these were resolved probably, granted they also need to go after pedophile priests more strictly, but that should be a case either way. I do agree with a lot of the stuff the old catholic denomination does and they are very similar to us Lutherans, there just isn't one any where near me.

Great answer, going to the the foundation of the Christian faith means going to Christ , the author and finisher of our faith. Let us not forget Revelation Chapter 3, where the Lord is speaking to the churches. Some of them had their good points and Christ also pointed out their weeknesses as well. Its good to unite as Christians in the Spirit of truth. When we differ with other Christians, we can agree to disagree agreeably.
You are totally failing to understand that the reason why Christ pointed out the flaws in a church era is because there were ppl calling God a liar, compromising with His doctrines, or wholesale rejecting His doctrines. All but 2 of them(the Smyrna and Philadelphia) didn't love the truth enough to fight for it, so they ended up falling away from God and surrendering to Satan, including the era Christ personally started!
Not all Protestants say that it’s only symbolic, that’s primarily a Baptist thing, Lutherans do believe that it really is the real presence of the body and blood of Christ, and Reformed/Calvinists believe we really do receive the body and blood of Christ but spiritually
Exactly my thought. Im not Christian, but I know this much. Lutherans are hardcore on the view regarding Communion "...the bread and the wine in the Supper are the true body and blood of Christ". Raises some alarmclocks around this Bishop to me...
As an Armenian Apostolic Orthodox, The teachings of this "Inspirational Embodiment of Christianity", renews my faith with every word that comes out of his heart and soul.
You are correct regarding the bread and wine we believe it’s symbolic however your teachings for the most part contradict 100 percent what the Catholic Church teaches in the US and Mexico …. So you are closer to Protestants than you think and that is amazing and good . God bless you because the Holy Spirit is little by little getting you orthodox and us Protestants closer together.

It's a matter of the true Gospel being preached in Galatians 1:8-9 NIVUK it says But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! As we have already said, so now I say again: if anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse! Both the Roman Church and the Eastern orthodox church teach a works salvation which is in error to the true Gospel that we are saved by faith in Christ alone not works.
That's not what they believe, essentially they believe to be saved is through faith but to keep salvation is through works(on top of faith). We see that in James 2:14-17 "What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."
@LiamMurray852 it is because they teach you must believe in Jesus and keep the sacraments to be saved when the bible is clear that its faith in Jesus alone that saves, that's not to say a person who has saving faith will not have works, someone who believes in Jesus is sealed with the Holy Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit will be evident in one's life as shown in Galatians 5:22 thus as james mentions faith without works is dead but its not our works that merit anything to salvation, Jesus alone saves. we are not saved by faith in Jesus and then required to keep our salvation through works. Salvation is entirely a gift of God's grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ alone, and it is not something that can be earned or maintained by our own efforts. Ephesians 2:8-9 clearly states, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast." This means that our salvation is a complete and finished work of God, not dependent on our performance. Furthermore, the apostle Paul emphasizes that our justification is by faith apart from the works of the law (Romans 3:28). In Galatians 3:3, Paul rebukes the Galatians for thinking they could begin by the Spirit and then be perfected by the flesh, highlighting that our entire Christian life, from start to finish, is by faith and not by works. The idea that we need to maintain our salvation through works contradicts the assurance we have in Christ. Hebrews 10:14 says, "For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy." This indicates that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was sufficient to perfect us forever, and our ongoing sanctification is a result of His work, not ours. we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and this salvation is secure because of His finished work on the cross. Our good works are a response to His love and grace, not a means to maintain our salvation.
I am a devout Lutheran and we actually believe in the true presence of the Eucharist that being it is the literal body and blood of our beloved King Jesus Christ. But I will agree that there are many divisions within the Christendom and it saddens my heart very deeply. That brothers and sisters are attacking one another and worst of all, some are falling away from the truth. We should all return to Jesus Christ only through him that we can actually be United as one
Jesus was neither an Orthodox Christian, Protestant or a Catholic. He was indeed a human messenger who was sent to the Jews. He worshipped to One God❗😊
Romans 14. The entire page describes how we must treat one another of differing levels of faith. It acknowledges that there will be differences, and calls us to not argue about it, but rather treat each others with respect, and to not become a stumbling block for one another. When we set our eyes on Christ, the fundamentals remain in Christ. Love, hope, and faith.
Luther didn’t agree because the Catholic Church was practicing corruption by selling indulgences for money to get people’s relatives out of purgatory earlier. They made up the notion of purgatory as a money-making scheme. And the people believed it. Also he disagreed that you are saved by your works. We cannot save ourselves. It is the free gift of God, and Christ paid for the sins of the world on the cross. Those were the main things he didn’t agree with. He tried to reform the evil in the Catholic Church. There was already much evil and corruption within the Vatican at that time. Unfortunately, their evil practices still exist and they are still trying to cover them up. Bishop Mari should not be supporting a church that is getting rich off of sinful, corrupt practices(I.e - now it’s child trafficking). Bishop Mari needs to be clear about what he is saying about Protestants. I love his preaching, but he needs more education regarding the confessional Lutheran church.
Sir mari. In protestant they the bread is the body of Christ and the wine is the blood of Christ which cannot be true bllood true body but it represent the body and blood of Christ. As many times we take and drink we remember the suffering of Christ on thw cross shedding His blood namaste to cleanse us .
Yes of corse, but, BUT, understand what you said is a non sens if blood and body of Christ is a merely a symbol, is like a flood of wind, nothing else ! So is not a true eucharist !

@@AbebaDamesa-wc7ls the Protestant Bible has books taken out of it which Luther took out because he thought they were wrong 😑 because he believe they’re wrong which is dumb you can’t just take off stuff from the Bible because you think they’re wrong. Jesus looked at Mother Mary and told his disciples behold your Mother. also we don’t Pray to saints or Mother Mary.
As a protestant, I see a lot of hate spreading throughout the different sections of Christianity and it really hurts to see. I feel as though we let the little things effect our view of each other as a whole, as if the other person is less of a human because of their interpretation of scripture or the unimportant factors of the church. I am a pentecostal, but I still know that my baptist friends or my catholic friends are still truly loved by God and are going to inherit the kingdom not because of the unimportant or very specific beliefs that they have, but by their faith and love in Jesus Christ, because at the end of the day, that is what matters most.
Im a protestant and you can`t transform a piece of bread and a gulp of wine into the body of christ, thats pantheism. And i believe if you really consume transubstantinated bread and wine, then you will never sin again. So when all you perfect orthodox and catholic christians consume every sunday service the holy body of christ, WHY THEN YOU ARE STILL SINNERS????
Jesus said THIS IS MY BODY, THIS IS MY BLOOD while he was still there. It is not after he has died and resurrected that it will become a symbol Jesus is God and what God says, IS. He said do this in memory of Him for FORGIVENESS OF SINS. It is one of God graces given by Jesus to forgive us. If Jesus forgives us, we can still sin again bro. Most protestant church teaches that once saved always saved that is why you are thinking we cannot sin after we have been forgiven by Christ. Christ himself said forgiveness should be 77*7. us in the catholic church says he is an ocean of Mercy😊.
@@ShuyikaHenry My experience is that forgiveness of sins is not a comfort zone, it has such a deep meaning that it will end in eternity. We have to work constantly on our sinful mind and temptations of the flesh and this is the will of the Lord and the meaning of the remembrance of his suffering. The evilness and sins of mankind was the reason for his crucifiction. So we have to work constantly to become spiritual beeings through the rebirth from water and spirit, as the holy lord told us.
John 14:15-18 [15] If ye love me, keep my commandments. [16] And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; [17] even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. [18] I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
I wouldn’t regard myself by any domination because I believe we are all believers of Christ. But if I had to choose one for my country England and the UK it would be orthodoxy 100% 🙏🏻✝️☦️
Whether Orthodox, Catholic or Protestant, we are all brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ. That's the only thing that counts, and God will do the rest. We need to trust Him and respect each other, despite our differences in religion.
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known 1 Corinthians 13:12
As someone from a Lutheran country, I need to protest. Because what I know, Luthernas hold the view that "...the bread and the wine in the Supper are the true body and blood of Christ". ❗
I DO belong to an apostolic church, the bread and wine which we bless IS the true Body and Blood of our Lord, and I AM a protestant; I am a Confessional Lutheran.
At the end what mar mari said is EXACTLY what christianity is, because christians believe and understand from bible how jesus is GOD of earth and heaven thats why every knee shall bow to JESUS
I am a protestant and go to a protestant church in indonesia. But, my church and pastors confirm that the bread and wine of holy communion are the true flesh and blood of Jesus, and not just a symbol. I personally agree to it. In fact, not all protestant denominations say that the bread n wine of holy communion are just symbols of Jesus' flesh n blood.
As a rational human being I know that bread is bread and wine is wine and blood is blood and flesh is flesh. Asking me to lie to myself is something I can't do. God made me that way.
As a Christian belonging to protestant I do belive it is the body and blood of Christ not just bread and whine, my priest told me this. But I think any truly convicted Christians will agree that it is in Christ we have our salvation, meaning to have faith in CHrist and give your life to christ that is the absolute fundamental, and then we unite around that.
It all goes back to the fruits of the Spirits....Whether Catholic , Protestant and Orthodox, the same way.... In regard to sacraments, though may differ, the Lord will look at the fruits of the Spirit....it all goes back to Biblical truth and Gospel of Jesus Christ...
As a Confessional Lutheran we have the Sacraments. Holy baptism which saves us and Holy Communion where the bread and wine IS the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ given to us for the forgiveness of sins. Lutherans walk the lonely way, not modern Roman Catholics and not part of the radical reformers of Protestantism. God peace.
This is good because he's saying that neither church is wrong. But that we all need to ask Christ to teach us again because we are all deviating from his teachings.
Protestants do belive in the holy communion. I believe many just misunderstand that is because of other differences in the other christian sects. Maybe some don't. But to my knowledge I always thought all protestant took part in communion. It is after all in the scripture.
As a Lutheran, we believe that the sacrament of communion is the true body and blood of Christ. The other sacraments are very much aligned with the Catholic and Orthodoxy. As you know Luther was a former Catholic priest/monk and did not want to start a new church but rather reform the Roman Catholic Church of the day but was excommunicated by the Pope. Therefore he had no other choice to worship Jesus via a new church..
Not all Protestants believe that holy communion is merely bread & wine & a memorial ceremony. Anglicans are apostolic & many retain a full-faith belief & spiritual reverence for the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Love y’all, God bless.
"Then we went to Greece, and the Greeks led us to the edifices where they worship their God, and we knew not whether we were in heaven or on earth. For on earth there is no such splendour or such beauty, and we are at a loss how to describe it. We only know that God dwells there among men, and their service is fairer than the ceremonies of other nations. For we cannot forget that beauty." - Emissaries of Grand Prince Volodymyr. 1 Timothy 3:15 The Orthodox Church the Pillar and Foundation of Truth!
The true followers of Christ are called Muslims. What's called "Christianity" is also from the Middle East, like Islam. but, it is originally a distorted version of Islam like other religions. There is only one true religion from the beginning, which is submission/Surrender to God and worshiping Him alone. In Arabic, its name is "Islam", and it is the religion of all the prophets and it is the religion to which they called. Islam is the truth. I invite you all to Islam, to worship the one true God, being devoted to Him, the religion alone with no partners. The first and last religion is the religion of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and The last and final profit Muhammad ﷺ, and all the prophets, may blessings and peace be upon them. all the prophets are Muslims. They did not worship a man named Jesus, or associate others with God, or worship three gods in one god. But only one God. This is the logic, history and reality. Just try reading the Qur'an, even if it is out of curiosity, Also read the Bible and all the other holy books if you want, and compare them with the Qur’an to distinguish truth from falsehood and light from darkness. or watch the debates between Muslims and Christians, atheists, and others. ..., For example, I advise you to consider the preacher Muhammad Ali, owner of TheMuslimLantern channel, Othman Farouk, or Ahmed Deedat, may God have mercy on him.
“Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong.”
Romans 14:1
Bishop Mari is wrong about his comments on Protestants. You cannot lump them all together. Confessional Lutherans do believe that marriage, baptism, communion are sacraments because they were instituted by God. Please see my other comments above. We do believe that the bread and wine are the true body and blood of Christ, and that Christ is “present” with and under the bread and wine. Catholics believe differently from Orthodox and Lutherans. Mari got this one wrong, sorry. It is very frustrating for someone like him, who is well-respected, to spread false-information about the Lutheran faith. (Confessional Lutherans are the true Lutheran Church. The Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) split off and are very unbiblical regarding certain doctrines. They should not be considered Lutheran. Many Protestant branches are the same - allowing gay marriage, even in the pulpit, is an abomination to God. We are NOT in that category.
YOOOOOOOOOOO this is amazing !!!! I love this and i was almost being like this because i don't want believers to reject all the truth. Like i would not argue the big subject but the little ones and more and more the time continue God will allow them to accept the truth
Also the entirety of 1st Corinthians 12.
AMENNN
Provided that acceptance is not rationalizing denial of truth or current sin yes. Where the Bible makes clear something is right or wrong we are commanded to confront it.
Someone brought up chapter 12 of 2nd Corinthians, but we must remember Paul then went on in chapter 13 that those still unrepentant needed to repent before he arrived again because not one would be spared otherwise.
As a Protestant, I agree with my brother, that we should seek Christ first, and be open to the voice of Holy Spirit 🤝
@@Kyrillos_hishmatyes we do, we read his word and console daily. A piece of bread and wine doesn’t make a Christian my friend♥️

You must say "as an HERETIC" cause that's what you are !
You protestans believe in a Fake Jesus a Jesus whom never existed !
As an Eastern Orthodox Christian, I believe that communion and baptism are not symbolic: they are actual true mysteries of the church.
Jesus is to cool for "just symbolic".
wait so im not like going to any church yet. how does it work? i am confused, because if it is the physical body oif jeuss christ, is he being sacraficed over and over again for our sins? is it not just a reminder that he is the bread which is broken, so that we may be fixed as he said it was for rememberance? and when jesus says that if you do not eat the flesh and drink his blood, then u have no life in you, is this not figurative? because then our life or our salvation is based on doing this work every month or every week, then is salvation not based on works?
if that verse that says "he who doesnt eat the flesh and drink the blood has no life" is literal than salvation is works based.
if it is figurative, saying we must spiritually eat the flesh and drink the blood of christ, just as we must be baptised by the spirit, not necessarily water, to be saved, then communion is also figurative representation and reminder of jesus being broken so we may be fixed.
prove it.

28 years of my life as a protestant. Still will be but ive gotta say this man right here is something else. Since ive seen one reel about a week ago ive been more and more interested in his videos. Honestly it wasnt until today that i found out he identifies as catholic. He speaks like a Christain to me. And at the end of the day in this video he is absolutely right. Regardless of which "branch" we call ourselves, at the end of the day its all about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
he is Orthodox, not Catholic, you often see Orthodox crosses from him, and Byzantine icons, but that is not the most important thing, above all, he is a man who has God in him
And what do you think being a catholic means? I suggest you to study a bit the history of the Catholic Church, get some authentical references from the Catholic Church. Spoiler: Catholics are Christians.
Col 1:18 NKJV
18 And He [JESUS] (((is the head of the body))), (((THE CHURCH))), who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in (((ALL THINGS))) (((He))) [JESUS] (((MAY HAVE THE PREEMINENCE))). [NOT THE ROMAN CATHOLIC / ORTHODOX OR ANY INSTITUTION]
JESUS IS THE CHURCH AND AS BELIEVERS OUR LIVES ARE HID IN CHRIST IN GOD.
Col 3:2 NKJV
3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
NO ROMAN CATHOLIC / OR ANY INSTITUTION REQUIRED!

REQUIRED? NO!
SALVATION IS IN JESUS CHRIST AND IN HIM BY FAITH ALONE!
Rom 10:9 NKJV
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Eph 2:8-9 NKJV
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Eastern Orthodox here, the spirit of our Church is that of mourning and humility and we welcome all to join us.
Edit: People seem to be confused about the mourning part, and its sad so EO are jumping on Prot train of thought.
Ok lets explain, “Blessed are those who mourn”? What about the attitude during Metanoia? What about us being taught mourning over ones sins is an act of contrition that deepens humility? What about the attitudes during Lent? meditating and mourning over the periods? We take this way of life and attitude very seriously for there is wisdom and grace in it.
I'm a Pentecostal Protestant. I'm not making fun of the Orthodox. But, what are you mourning? Christ is alive, off the cross, out of the tomb and sitting next to His Father, as we speak. What is there to mourn about? REJOICE, my brother.
I'm truly curious about why one would mourn. I'm not looking for a fight, like most on RUclips. I'm just trying to understand.
I'm Eastern Orthodox too, and I have absolutely no idea what he means by mourning.

In the Quran, Jesus is taken to heaven by God, but no record says mohammd is in heaven, not even the Quran. So if mohmad is in hell then all his followers also maybe end up in hell.
There are 26 different arabic versions of quran( u can google it), which one is real?, means it's not word of God. Mohammd has disobeyed all commandments of God, which means he disobeyed God himself. Mohammd has killed, raped, did child marriage, married his sons wife, owned sex slaves and so on. Mohammd drastically died from poison by Jewish woman, a very normal human. Even God didn't warn him and mohammd can't predict his future. Mohammd can't predict his own future, how will he predict his followers future?
Jesus predicted his death and resurrection, that happened. Jesus himself said he is the Son of God. Jesus said he will be next to his father in heaven. Jesus has done godly miracles like giving life to dead bodies and many similar ones.

I feel so attached to the Covenanters and Martyrs of the Protestant/ Presbyterian faith in Scotland. I think Protestants need to go back to that humble deep faith based on education. Scotland created schools so everyone could read the Bible, last 30 years we have fallen big time.

Based
@@GrimKnight12not as based
I agree to some extent...as I tend to lean more reformed and love how they're so in love with God's word and understanding it. But part of me also thinks too much fixation on the education/knowledge can lead you astray. Over fixating on words and potential meaning when dealing with the supernatural has to lead to wrong turns here and there. I mean, we were for hidden from eating from the tree of knowledge. Sometimes being obedient and having faith is required, and not having 100% pure knowledge and understanding. Paralysis by analysis, if you will. I think it has to be beneficial to go back to the 1st and 2nd century and see just how Christians were doing things. And the supernatural has to involve other things than just your brain, because our brain can only comprehend the natural. The correct answer ino has to lie somewhere in the middle.
God bless you Mar Mari

My faith in Jesus is totally based on Him and not any sacraments. Any veneration of Mary or any saint is a lie. Praying to them is heresy.

At least you know The difference between veneration and adoration right?
Because the veneration we do works Just like How The Jewish treated Moses, Elijah and David (We also vererate them). There's nothing unbiblical in this... Veneration is paying respect to The examples of faith Those people were...
And Marian veneration above other venerations acts out like the veneration of The Ark of The Old Convenant, as Mother Mary is the Ark of New The Convenant
If Mary deserves so much, can you Think of what we give to Jesus in adoration?
You guys act like that because our concepts of adoration are different in some ways...
Mere veneration to us might look like adoration to you because as Catholics The Mass is The Biggest way we have to praise The Lord! I recomend you search in Catholic Channels about the Mass.
@@bcalvert321 Also our concepts of "prayers" are different too, we see it as an petition to God o The Saints who are all heaven and who are pretty Much alive (The Saints) and well awere of us on earth...
To put It simply (I'll give an example), It goes like that:
I have an relative who has eyesight problems ----> I ask Saint Luzia (As she is The patron Saint of eyesight, because of The life she lived) to pray for my relative so He/she can be cured ------> Both prayers reach Jesus and by consequence God The Father, and Because Saints are in The Glory of heaven Their prayers are stronger, but God has His time to do things
As time passes, if I keep praying and asking intercession of Saint Luzia, One day God might peform The miracle.
Asking intercession only adds to our prayers
I use’t to go to an Anglican Church then I had a vision of death praying plus a dream from God too to say to leave and that it was being led by the devil (adorned in gold and jems) they were a good “biblical based” church but without the spirit. In another dream God told me to go to an Orthodox Church (in the dream he gave me the name of it+ I didn’t know it existed). He showed me because I asked. I said I like this church but there’s these things that don’t sit right, what do you (God) think? Then he gave me that vision and dream. Then I didn’t know where to go and he fixed that for me too. Blessed and loving and awesome is our Father who looks after us so well ❤

You on the right path amen
Sooo God gave you a dream telling you to go to orthodox christianity?
As an eastern Orthodox Christian, the main thing that I like about our church is that we believe in asking the lord for answers for all things mysterious and confusing. We don’t come up with our own theories and interpretations of the bible. That is why we have only two Orthodox branches in more than two thousand years, those two differ very little from each other. Personally I call protestant churches, philosophical churches, since the Protestant religion allows everyone who has knowledge of the Bible to interpret the Bible according to his/her personal understanding, there will not be an end for the creation of different types of denominations among the Protestants.
Simplicity in reading the source, Bible, Jesus'saying in John 6 clearly explains it's symbolic🙏
Do this in remembrance of me seems pretty symbolic to me.
Exactly.. They have a "tradition" of ignoring the words of Jesus and the Bible in general.
The tradition is older than the bible lol
@@SobiechSZN That does not make it true.
@@RationalJJ So you are saying that the teachings of the apostles, Jesus' direct disciples, are wrong, contrary to your interpretation 2000 years later?
The teachings of the apostles regarding the holy communion are summarised in 1 Corinthians 11: 23-30. Anything extra is unbiblical.
That is a special power of orthodoxy: flexibility, freedom and the way to leave to all others to believe in their own way.
Well said. I would also add though there is no 100% perfect denomination here on earth as yet. That will happen when Christ returns as the head of the one and only real Church, which will replace all current denominations. At the moment not even any one person here on earth is perfect but again that will change after Christ returns when true believers are resurrected or instantly changed when still alive, and receive new perfect eternal bodies. Until all that happens when Christ returns, we as individuals have to do our best with the help of the Holy Spirit to carry on as true believers in our imperfect and temporary bodies and churches. As with the Parable of the Ten Virgins, we must be like the five who took it upon themselves to obtain spare oil to be ready and prepared always for His return, be it when we are still alive or after we die before He returns. Keep waiting and watching with joy and anticipation as we know not when He will return. Amen.
Great answer brother.
Amen 🕊️
Christ is one of the prophets of God. He is the servant of God and His Messenger. He calls for the worship of The one God alone. He is a Muslim and so are his followers. Do not ever think of yourselves as slaves of Christ. You have distorted the Gospels and introduced polytheism, superstitions and heresies into the religion. Now the churches have become homosexual, and as for the rape of children in churches by priests And monks, this is another topic entirely. The statistics for that are very frightening, although the statistics include only the incidents that were reported, which is much less than the real number. Praise be to God for the blessing of Islam, the true religion, the religion of Abraham and all the prophets. Save yourselves and your children from the shame and misguidance in which you are.

As a Lutheran I want to say that Protestantism is a term devoid of meaning. In Germany where I come from Lutheranism has direct ties to the apostolic succession and only got rid of those added things that were later added by papal decrees such as letters of absolution in exchange for donations. The sacraments are still kept. I believe it is similar with the anglican church. However there are some who tried to do more than that those were the calvinists, who make up the continental reformed churches and on whose teachings most of the radical reformation denominations as well as later evangelical denominations are based upon. So there are three types of protestantism, counter-papal which are nearly identical to apostolic churches except not acceptinng the authority of the pope (Anglican, Lutheran, maybe a few others), reformers (calvinist, anabaptist), evangelical (baptists, quakers etc.)
u have staf added and apostolic hw did u realy differenciate it? by wat measurment? please tel me ur understanding of christian history
@@annitmul1614 I can't make out what you are asking could you write your questions without abbreviations and in full sentences please.
@@123iceboy i think you are saying we lutheran have the original bible by removing the added book(authority of the pope)? we know for how long popes was practicing absolute power given this i feel it will be hard to identify the original and add so by what measurement did u identify them. according to history Luther was seeking the true and original christian but how is getting the original possible do you think simply by saying Jesus please show us the true and original way can be achieved. today's world protestantism is by far different from Luther' wish.
@@annitmul1614 I understand thanks for the classification. First off the original Lutheran bible and some like me use that one today, still keeps the Septuagint only books (what Catholics call the deuterocanonicals). He didn't intend on removing them only to clarify they are not found in the Jewish canon found in the masoretic text. Which for him made them less auhoritatuve or even non-authoritative compared to OT and NT books. Which if you read the books in question you realize most of them add context to practices of first century Jews but they don't add any major insights that are helpful or necessary for christian doctrine. So I understand his view on those. Even though we know now that the Jewish canon we now know is newer than the christian canon.
I believe that we are all brothers in christ and I do believe that the catholic church has come a long way since the time of Luther I just have an issue with the papal authority the celibacy of priests and papal infallibility. The first and last because of their historic implications, Paul IV, John XII, Urban II cough. The second because even the orthodox let married people become priests not bishops which is debatable, but that's at least something.
Would I become catholic if these were resolved probably, granted they also need to go after pedophile priests more strictly, but that should be a case either way. I do agree with a lot of the stuff the old catholic denomination does and they are very similar to us Lutherans, there just isn't one any where near me.

Great answer, going to the the foundation of the Christian faith means going to Christ , the author and finisher of our faith. Let us not forget Revelation Chapter 3, where the Lord is speaking to the churches. Some of them had their good points and Christ also pointed out their weeknesses as well. Its good to unite as Christians in the Spirit of truth. When we differ with other Christians, we can agree to disagree agreeably.
You are totally failing to understand that the reason why Christ pointed out the flaws in a church era is because there were ppl calling God a liar, compromising with His doctrines, or wholesale rejecting His doctrines. All but 2 of them(the Smyrna and Philadelphia) didn't love the truth enough to fight for it, so they ended up falling away from God and surrendering to Satan, including the era Christ personally started!

Not all Protestants say that it’s only symbolic, that’s primarily a Baptist thing, Lutherans do believe that it really is the real presence of the body and blood of Christ, and Reformed/Calvinists believe we really do receive the body and blood of Christ but spiritually
Exactly my thought. Im not Christian, but I know this much. Lutherans are hardcore on the view regarding Communion "...the bread and the wine in the Supper are the true body and blood of Christ". Raises some alarmclocks around this Bishop to me...

I don’t think we realize how important the events that transpired on the cross truly are. Jesus is the key. No matter where you are or what you are believing now, Jesus is the key. He will show you and lead you to Truth
Then how come those religions do not teach any truths? They are all guilty of blasphemy and will be destroyed as prophesied.
It's a matter of the true Gospel being preached in Galatians 1:8-9 NIVUK it says
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! As we have already said, so now I say again: if anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!
Both the Roman Church and the Eastern orthodox church teach a works salvation which is in error to the true Gospel that we are saved by faith in Christ alone not works.
That's not what they believe, essentially they believe to be saved is through faith but to keep salvation is through works(on top of faith). We see that in James 2:14-17 "What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."
@LiamMurray852 it is because they teach you must believe in Jesus and keep the sacraments to be saved when the bible is clear that its faith in Jesus alone that saves, that's not to say a person who has saving faith will not have works, someone who believes in Jesus is sealed with the Holy Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit will be evident in one's life as shown in Galatians 5:22 thus as james mentions faith without works is dead but its not our works that merit anything to salvation, Jesus alone saves.
we are not saved by faith in Jesus and then required to keep our salvation through works. Salvation is entirely a gift of God's grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ alone, and it is not something that can be earned or maintained by our own efforts. Ephesians 2:8-9 clearly states, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast." This means that our salvation is a complete and finished work of God, not dependent on our performance.
Furthermore, the apostle Paul emphasizes that our justification is by faith apart from the works of the law (Romans 3:28). In Galatians 3:3, Paul rebukes the Galatians for thinking they could begin by the Spirit and then be perfected by the flesh, highlighting that our entire Christian life, from start to finish, is by faith and not by works.
The idea that we need to maintain our salvation through works contradicts the assurance we have in Christ. Hebrews 10:14 says, "For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy." This indicates that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was sufficient to perfect us forever, and our ongoing sanctification is a result of His work, not ours.
we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and this salvation is secure because of His finished work on the cross. Our good works are a response to His love and grace, not a means to maintain our salvation.
I am a devout Lutheran and we actually believe in the true presence of the Eucharist that being it is the literal body and blood of our beloved King Jesus Christ. But I will agree that there are many divisions within the Christendom and it saddens my heart very deeply. That brothers and sisters are attacking one another and worst of all, some are falling away from the truth. We should all return to Jesus Christ only through him that we can actually be United as one
Jesus was neither an Orthodox Christian, Protestant or a Catholic. He was indeed a human messenger who was sent to the Jews. He worshipped to One God❗😊
Sent to lost tribes of Israel not Jew
Yes but he started the Catholic Church.
Romans 14. The entire page describes how we must treat one another of differing levels of faith. It acknowledges that there will be differences, and calls us to not argue about it, but rather treat each others with respect, and to not become a stumbling block for one another. When we set our eyes on Christ, the fundamentals remain in Christ. Love, hope, and faith.
That last bit is what Martin Luther did centuries ago....he was excommunicated because he didn't agree with the "church" of the age.
Luther didn’t agree because the Catholic Church was practicing corruption by selling indulgences for money to get people’s relatives out of purgatory earlier. They made up the notion of purgatory as a money-making scheme. And the people believed it. Also he disagreed that you are saved by your works. We cannot save ourselves. It is the free gift of God, and Christ paid for the sins of the world on the cross. Those were the main things he didn’t agree with. He tried to reform the evil in the Catholic Church. There was already much evil and corruption within the Vatican at that time. Unfortunately, their evil practices still exist and they are still trying to cover them up. Bishop Mari should not be supporting a church that is getting rich off of sinful, corrupt practices(I.e - now it’s child trafficking). Bishop Mari needs to be clear about what he is saying about Protestants. I love his preaching, but he needs more education regarding the confessional Lutheran church.
We are all loved by Christ, Christ is King. Stand united against the devil.
Sir mari. In protestant they the bread is the body of Christ and the wine is the blood of Christ which cannot be true bllood true body but it represent the body and blood of Christ. As many times we take and drink we remember the suffering of Christ on thw cross shedding His blood namaste to cleanse us .
Yes of corse, but, BUT, understand what you said is a non sens if blood and body of Christ is a merely a symbol, is like a flood of wind, nothing else ! So is not a true eucharist !
…I just got back from a lutheran church having watched an apolostic ordination and partaking in the sacrament of communion…

As a protestant, I see a lot of hate spreading throughout the different sections of Christianity and it really hurts to see. I feel as though we let the little things effect our view of each other as a whole, as if the other person is less of a human because of their interpretation of scripture or the unimportant factors of the church. I am a pentecostal, but I still know that my baptist friends or my catholic friends are still truly loved by God and are going to inherit the kingdom not because of the unimportant or very specific beliefs that they have, but by their faith and love in Jesus Christ, because at the end of the day, that is what matters most.
Exactly what I needed. Go back to the truth Himself. He will set you free.
Im a protestant and you can`t transform a piece of bread and a gulp of wine into the body of christ, thats pantheism. And i believe if you really consume transubstantinated bread and wine, then you will never sin again. So when all you perfect orthodox and catholic christians consume every sunday service the holy body of christ, WHY THEN YOU ARE STILL SINNERS????
We’re sinners at the end of the day bro… we’re not perfect but The Holy Spirit will guide us and through prayer we can overcome the sin 🙏
Jesus said THIS IS MY BODY, THIS IS MY BLOOD while he was still there. It is not after he has died and resurrected that it will become a symbol Jesus is God and what God says, IS. He said do this in memory of Him for FORGIVENESS OF SINS. It is one of God graces given by Jesus to forgive us. If Jesus forgives us, we can still sin again bro. Most protestant church teaches that once saved always saved that is why you are thinking we cannot sin after we have been forgiven by Christ. Christ himself said forgiveness should be 77*7. us in the catholic church says he is an ocean of Mercy😊.
@@ShuyikaHenry My experience is that forgiveness of sins is not a comfort zone, it has such a deep meaning that it will end in eternity. We have to work constantly on our sinful mind and temptations of the flesh and this is the will of the Lord and the meaning of the remembrance of his suffering. The evilness and sins of mankind was the reason for his crucifiction. So we have to work constantly to become spiritual beeings through the rebirth from water and spirit, as the holy lord told us.
So you are "Solar Scriptura" then? Where did you get your bible from? You know the one you butchered.
John 14:15-18
[15] If ye love me, keep my commandments. [16] And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; [17] even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. [18] I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
AMEN!
I wouldn’t regard myself by any domination because I believe we are all believers of Christ. But if I had to choose one for my country England and the UK it would be orthodoxy 100% 🙏🏻✝️☦️

It really is that simple. Lord Jesus Christ. People like to complicate Christianity.
Whether Orthodox, Catholic or Protestant, we are all brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ. That's the only thing that counts, and God will do the rest.
We need to trust Him and respect each other, despite our differences in religion.
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known
1 Corinthians 13:12
Christ: I am knocking at the door, for whosoever answers, I shall sup with him & he with me!❤❤
As someone from a Lutheran country, I need to protest. Because what I know, Luthernas hold the view that "...the bread and the wine in the Supper are the true body and blood of Christ". ❗
In order to have everlasting life you absolutely must trust in the person and finished work of Christ alone for salvation ❣️.

I DO belong to an apostolic church, the bread and wine which we bless IS the true Body and Blood of our Lord, and I AM a protestant; I am a Confessional Lutheran.

As a Christian belonging to protestant I do belive it is the body and blood of Christ not just bread and whine, my priest told me this. But I think any truly convicted Christians will agree that it is in Christ we have our salvation, meaning to have faith in CHrist and give your life to christ that is the absolute fundamental, and then we unite around that.
It all goes back to the fruits of the Spirits....Whether Catholic , Protestant and Orthodox, the same way....
In regard to sacraments, though may differ, the Lord will look at the fruits of the Spirit....it all goes back to Biblical truth and Gospel of Jesus Christ...
As a Confessional Lutheran we have the Sacraments. Holy baptism which saves us and Holy Communion where the bread and wine IS the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ given to us for the forgiveness of sins.

This is good because he's saying that neither church is wrong. But that we all need to ask Christ to teach us again because we are all deviating from his teachings.
1:35 Well im protestant and our pastor and church believe wine is blood of Christ and bread body of christ, but i don't know for others.
Come home to the true church.
Protestants do belive in the holy communion. I believe many just misunderstand that is because of other differences in the other christian sects. Maybe some don't. But to my knowledge I always thought all protestant took part in communion. It is after all in the scripture.
As a Lutheran, we believe that the sacrament of communion is the true body and blood of Christ. The other sacraments are very much aligned with the Catholic and Orthodoxy. As you know Luther was a former Catholic priest/monk and did not want to start a new church but rather reform the Roman Catholic Church of the day but was excommunicated by the Pope. Therefore he had no other choice to worship Jesus via a new church..
That's what I always say, eastern Catholics and orthodox are the church of Antioch Jesus Christ amen
Not all Protestants believe that holy communion is merely bread & wine & a memorial ceremony.
Anglicans are apostolic & many retain a full-faith belief & spiritual reverence for the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
Love y’all, God bless.
"Then we went to Greece, and the Greeks led us to the edifices where they worship their God, and we knew not whether we were in heaven or on earth. For on earth there is no such splendour or such beauty, and we are at a loss how to describe it. We only know that God dwells there among men, and their service is fairer than the ceremonies of other nations. For we cannot forget that beauty." - Emissaries of Grand Prince Volodymyr. 1 Timothy 3:15 The Orthodox Church the Pillar and Foundation of Truth!
The true followers of Christ are called Muslims. What's called "Christianity" is also from the Middle East, like Islam. but, it is originally a distorted version of Islam like other religions.
There is only one true religion from the beginning, which is submission/Surrender to God and worshiping Him alone. In Arabic, its name is "Islam", and it is the religion of all the prophets and it is the religion to which they called.
Islam is the truth. I invite you all to Islam, to worship the one true God, being devoted to Him, the religion alone with no partners. The first and last religion is the religion of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and The last and final profit Muhammad ﷺ, and all the prophets, may blessings and peace be upon them.
all the prophets are Muslims.
They did not worship a man named Jesus, or associate others with God, or worship three gods in one god. But only one God.
This is the logic, history and reality.
Just try reading the Qur'an, even if it is out of curiosity, Also read the Bible and all the other holy books if you want, and compare them with the Qur’an to distinguish truth from falsehood and light from darkness.
or watch the debates between Muslims and Christians, atheists, and others. ..., For example, I advise you to consider the preacher Muhammad Ali, owner of TheMuslimLantern channel, Othman Farouk, or Ahmed Deedat, may God have mercy on him.
Hope some day we catholics Will be one with the ortodhox.. we both believe in the real presence of our lord in the most sacred sacrament 🥺.
