I greatly admire Calvin Robinson. He's a wonderful communicator and is passionate for Christ.
" I AM the way, the truth and the life, and no man cometh to The Father but by Me" John 14: 6
I have to disagree that this catholic priest had a relationship with The Father before he even met Jesus. It shows just how delusional and misleading religion can be.
🎯
John in His epistle says if you do not have Jesus you do not have the Father. So I think what Calvin thought was a relationship with the Father was just that he was prone to be religious.
I wonder why - if he is so passionate about Jesus as he claims- that he is so Anglo Catholic and not of the Reformed faith ? K
@@mikekayanderson408Because the reformed churches are deluding themselves. They decided they knew better than the church Jesus established.
@@carolmcln5028 Jesus did not establish the ROMAN CATHOLIC Church!
Jesus established THE CHURCH. Yes the Church is for all nations - universal - meaning anyone who believes enters into the CHURCH. The Gospel is for all people. To be preached to all.
But the ROMAN CATHOLIC church is a false Church and has distorted the Gospel and many Biblical Doctrines. K
Please, Please PRAY for THE Uk, the whole of Ireland and Europe!
They Have forgotten about GOD! ✝️
Do try and keep up at the back - we in UK have been the main wardriver in ukraine, flying surveillance over Gaza and heading for ww3 - At no point in 4/500 years in our history have we not been involved in mass murder and theft of half the globe - you think stronger faith prevented us back then? Get real and get active - the Lord of this world is WHO?
There is hope!
I will add america because we have turned our back on god
And as we can see the devil is on the march.
CS Lewis was married to a divorced woman, and the church should stand on the inerrancy of the Scriptures that to DIVORCE AND REMARRY or marry a DIVORCED woman who has a first husband still alive is adultery!!! The King is an adulterer as well as his son Harry! The Bible says that no practicing adulterer has eternal life in heaven. Jesus also said not to call anyone here on earth "Father." Jesus is Lord, and He is calling people to genuine repentance and conversion to live righteously according to His commands. The rapture will reveal who was truly a disciple and who was a Christian in name only.
Calvin Robinson speaks for a vast majority of us Brits….
CALVIN IS A KNOWN GRIFTER.....HALT ADDING THE INDIGENOUS BRITISH TO HIS GRIFTING TRAIN
Brit is a Hebrew word meaning Covenant
@@britastertern-gill4961 I didn’t know that, I’ve just googled it, thanks for letting me know…….
@@britastertern-gill4961It’s also a colloquial word for “British.” Words in one language often have a totally different meaning in another language.
Praise God!
Calvin Robinson would be the reason I return to the Church of England.🏴
Come home to the Eastern Orthodox Church 🙏🏻☦️🕊️
Don't hesitate.
Be aware of false religions as the bible says. Salvation does not come from a religion, but a relationship with Christ!
We are up against satanism in high places !!
Calvin Robinson. Keep preaching. Keep speaking. Raised for this generation.
He needs to leave the Old Catholic denomination.
@@WalkingbytheSpiritAlways, Calvin is Catholic? That's news to me. I thought he was continuing Anglican. As he said, the C of E spread the Gospel to the world throughout the 19th century. Britons went completely off track after WW1 with an insatiable materialism and the decadence of the 1920's. Remember, Edward and Mrs. Simpson?
@@user-hv2ru2mq5u He left the Anglican church to join the Old Catholic denomination.
I love listening to Calvin Robinson. He has the courage and faith to speak truthfully.
In prayer for UK.... and all the brothers who stand firm to defend the gospel whether Catholic, Anglican or Protestants. Praying for Fr. Calvin Robinson.
Pray for America! America first!
Jesus didn't preach Catholic Anglican or Protestant.
The Christ exists divided.
@@calstonjewGod is not partial .
In every nation the man who works righteousness is acceptable to Him.
Acts 10 : 34
I am happy to moved to Poland, where is normal to have faith.
Saved by faith in Jesus Alone. He paid it all.
Yes. By faith alone, in Christ alone.
@@61countdown agree the Roman Church teaches faith in all sorts of works. Not in Christ alone for salvation.
@@mikekayanderson408 No, true faith and charity leads to good works. Even the demons believe in Jesus. No where in the bible does it say we are saved by ‘faith Alone’. This is typical protestant reading into the bible what isn’t there -,show me the statement in the bible that says we are ‘saved by faith alone’ it’s not there! it say says ‘saved by faith and good works’ though. Catholics believe we are saved by Jesus grace alone, his grace are especially in the sacraments like the Eucharist which he gave us at the last supper. I think you are splitting hairs really and then condemning catholicsm, we all believe Jesus is our saviour!
James 2:14-26
New International Version
Faith and Deeds
14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
@@mikekayanderson408 Ephesians 2:8 saved by faith alone, it is the gift of God, we're saved FOR good works not BY good works
Faith “alone” was added by a man, Martin Luther.
“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.”
“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
Pray for all our children and families to be saved in the body of Christ before the rapture ❤
I believe children will be saved.
A pity The Archbishop of Canterbury doesnt speak like this.
He is a good man fighting evil in the world.
I live in the SW of USA, Arizona, where many are flocking across the board illegally with the WELCOME of our current federal administration. Your show and comments resonate!!! Our family came to the USA, one person after the next, in the many years of the 1970s to 2000s, legally with visas. The influx of people who come today with the aid of drug cartels and fake visas is NOT our picture of America and a legal/judicial system that evaluates the needs of people coming in and their contribution to American life when they arrive. Thanks for your show!
its the destablization of NA to create a massive scenario of crime, economic collapse and fear amongst the population, so they will b frantic enough to believe the ac and his mark he will foist upon everyone, thats WHY its happening.
FATHER CALVIN , MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE , I REALLY LOVE TO LISTEN TOO YOU , KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT FOR OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST 🙏💖🙏💖🙏
I am part of the holy remnant of evangelicals in England! We are still here!
BRITAIN not just england!!! Do your education.
@@PureGenes....Same 'difference'.
Amen! 🙏
So you're Jewish.
Thank you Eric for talking less and letting your guest talk. You always have fantastic guests, Fr. Robinson included, and it's nice to hear more from them. Great interview! Please keep them coming!
I agree we must look after our suffering Veterans first
When I've tried to talk about 'Evil' with my Anglican brothers and sisters here in Canada--especially in the last five years--they look at me like I'm crazy. Thank goodness for people like Calvin Robinson. Great words of hope. Proclaim the faith.
Just a bold & magnificent speaker, a man whose passion for Christ is truly evident, his eloquent common sense speaking reminds me of C.S. Lewis....God bless you Fr. Calvin 🙏
So sad to hear to know what’s going on in England, not far from what is happening in America! Thank you for sharing this. I’m a follower of Spurgeon, his faith and writings are solid, as well as C S Lewis. We’re not home, that’s how I see it. Jesus Christ warned Us in His word.🙏🏾
Amen 💖 Jesus can and will save anyone who turns from their wicked ways and REPENT 🙏 Hallelujah 🔥
Get to know a Muslim, say this is what Christians believe in. We need to convert them.✝️
BRITAIN not just england!!! Do your education.
@@marylou3995 that's not going to happen, and even if it did happen, there's no way we could ever know if their conversion is genuine.
Amen! Good strong stand against the evil tide.
God bless one and all
that evil tide is the prophesied prelude to world destabilization of economy, crime etc so the masses will b frantic enough to take the mk of the beest when its unveiled as a new progressive safety social responsibility. so u can pray all you want, but youre praying against prophecy so prophecy will come true regardless of what/if you pray.
Great show Eric! Thanks for having Calvin Robinson on as your guest… love listening to him speak. He has a heart toward God and a very necessary voice in our day! ❤️
Fr. Calvin is great. A true man of God. Love it when the Christian family talk together, thanks Eric!
He is not a father, and is certainly no Christian
@@trevaudio And you are certainly not intelligent
I agree he is not saved, or knows the meaning of a new birth, in Christ.@trevaudio
@@UnremarkableMarxCatholics never say that? You don’t live on the same planet as I do xD
Love hearing this man speak!
Fr. Calvin is a major force in the online Christianity community. I love listening to his interviews.
Yes, 'Mohammedans' is a great term.
The term 'Mohammedans' was used when I was in grade school. I hope the term comes back.
Wow it is wonderful to listen to Father Calvin Robinson speak such incredible truth.
The Bible tells us that God will build His church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it, and that's exactly how I've been praying over what's happening to the church in the UK. Many orthodox Christians in the UK are mortified and heartbroken but standing ground on gospel truth. A voice is being heard, and I believe it will get louder as God stirs our hearts to resist any conformity to the worlds viewpoints. I agree with Calvin. The church cannot be reconciled now, the goats and the sheep are being separated. God will have His pure bride. Blessings to all my brothers + sisters out there. Keep praying because GOD IS GOOD.
Being a former Anglican, I greatly admire Fr. Calvin. He is a true Christian who speaks with biblical conviction and courage. I know I will meet him one day, in heaven, if not on this earth.❤❤❤
I though he was catholic
@@randomhuman2595he is an Anglican. He is catholic but not Roman Catholic. Just like reformed Christian’s are catholic but not Roman Catholic. There is a big difference.
@@raskolnikov6443 Are Eastern Orthodox Catholics?
That's what you incorrectly believe but it won't happen. Neither one of you will EVER see Heaven, you have been lied to!
From UK and agree with a Calvin .
I’m 64. Never in my life could I have imagined this much chaos world wide. I’m praying fir the rapture. Our children are being destroyed which means we are all being destroyed .
Yes. It's time to look up because our redemption draws near. God bless from Eastern Canada.
This is the revelation of the Rapture: ruclips.net/video/KLxTgG3S9Js/видео.html
It all started with the destruction of the family. Once that covenant that God ordained was broken, it was open game to attack the mothers and today the children. The church has been infiltrated and people have been deceived.
The 'bride' .....has still got her curlers in....and her face mask.
Is she.... 'without spot or wrinkle' yet ?!
Genuine question... if the tribulation saints are included in the "FIRST resurrection" (Rev 20), then how can it be a pre-trib raprure-resurrection?
This is a concerted movement in our world today. Christians have not seen it coming, but it is here. Thanks for shedding light on this!
Christians who read their Bibles definitely knew this was coming. Sadly there are too few of us, that’s why we are called ‘The Remnant”
There are many Christians that didn't see it coming and there were also many Christians trying to raise the alarm and being mocked for it. Christ told us to remain watchful and not be taken over like a thief in the night.
Fr Calvin is the best!!
Except Jesus said not to call any man Father, we have One Father in Heaven. I love Calvin as a brother in Christ, and how he's mostly Biblically based, but we're all priests and saints in Christ.
Jesus Himself stated, "When the Son of Man returns, will he find faith on the earth?" and the apostle Paul and others spoke of a great 'falling away' and apostasy right before Jesus' return, so we shouldn't be surprised even though we should stand and fight. Jesus return is imminent. Keep the faith.
Fr. Calvin is a true preacher of God!
Thank you sir!
Unfortunately, his god isn't the real one, he believes in a pagan trinity and that is NOT who God is.
I just love Calvin Robinson ❤
Eric one of our truth tellers
I'll join the crowd. I deeply admire Calvin Robinson.
He is very, very intelligent, easily reads moves/ questions/ questioning many steps ahead and he is passionate about Jesus Christ and The Church.
He knows people, he knows Britons. He doesn't mince words when describing the deplorable state the UK is in socially and religiously.
Massive respect for him. God Bless.
It's not pure evil.
Evil is impure.
Hi from Canada...l am an 82yr old Canadian monarchist Christian grandma of English Irish descent. I had family in WW1 and WW11. They made it home. Certainly in Canada, Britain and Australia the numbers of beautiful young men of marriageable and breeding age were GONE. Snuffed out!! So that was that!! GONE! Nothing destroys civilizations more than plagues, War and the lack of Fathers in the home... in my humble opinion!! The strange problems with the Muslim populations and Germany is that the Muslims were collaborators with the Germans in WW11. So, there is the Holocaust guilt and the influx from WW11 Middle East compatriots. Lately Commentators and Citizens in Western Europe seem finally to be discussing the fact that certain immigrant groups don't want to assimilate. As the Migrants themselves have noted they are procreating rapidly and Caucasion European peoples are simply not. Thankyou!
BRITISH.
The sad thing is that is, young couples no longer want children, they want money, and the foreigners rolling into the west are outbreeding us and refusing to assimilate. This is the death knell of a culture. I'm also 82 and have sadly viewed the deterioration over the years.
Romanian Eastern Orthodox saying thank you! ❤️☦️
Thank you, and God bless
Then Jesus spoke to them again saying, I Am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life. John 8:12
That is why we need to spread the Gospel that Jesus Christ died for our sins was buried and rose again the 3rd day by which we are saved, 1 Corinthians 15 1-4kjv.
My favorite 4 verses that clearly tells what “The Gospel “ truly is; as you said- 1 Corinthians Chapter 15 Verses 1-4. God Bless!🥹❤️✝️
Another great interview! Eric, not wanting to tempt you to be prideful, but I think you are a national treasure proclaiming the truth in a tasteful, thorough way with understanding of not only God’s word but understanding human nature. I also appreciate your superior communication skills. I understand your love of words and nuance… their connotations. It shows up in wit, too. It comes together in bringing us a better understanding of authentic faith and how to recognize how faith motivates us and is demonstrated in our actions. How faith needs to have an impact on our culture. How faith is demonstrated in all aspects of our lives. Thank you.
But a lot of Muslims are converting! We need to preach the story of Jesus Christ more.
They could be lying, like the snake...
@@calstonjew It's called Taqia. Lie to the infidels to further Is lamb
What a fantastic conversation here! May God richly blessed you both!!
I am a Catholic from one of the Christian minority Asian countries newly arrived in the UK. The problem with Christians in the UK and all other western Christian countries are people are afraid to practice their faith in Public, even many Christians are afraid to show the Crucifix and try to be politically correct in everything.. So people from all other political religions and political ideologies coming to the west think there is nothing Christian in western people, Nobody even thinks about Christ. But actually one in every two people in every western Europe or Oceanic countries are Christian but afraid to show their beliefs, Christians are actually silent majority in almost every western nations. Oterthan that the minority woke lgbt,leftistideologies hijacked every organisationa including Media,Academia ,Politics etc and they always push anti Christian narrative but Christians not even dare to question the truthness of that but keep silent, So other political activists who hates Christianity think that they got the perfect opportunity to fill this gap.
Evil 😈 increases when good men do nothing .
I heard that statement when I was active in pro-life work. My response to it is when good men do something evil works all the harder.
i agree we should protest about jesus torturing people ...and sue those who spread these stories to scare the vulnerable and children
Thank you for a great interview! As Calvin Robinson was speaking, what I heard him describing mirrored what is happeing in the U.S.
There is a remnant of bible based Christians outside the established churches, but though it's been a tough time, we are hopeful of an imminent move of God. Even in our village hall church.
God bless you Calvin please keep standing up for Judea-Christian values the bedrock of Western society. 🙏🏼
Thank God for Calvin Robinson and Eric Metaxas
Great interview, Eric!
In some areas in the UK, we darent even mention the name of Jesus
I wear my cross ✝️ and would never deny Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour Amen 🙏
Such a voice in the wilderness.
His talk about England sounds like what is or will happen here in America.
It is and has been happening here in the US. We have over 11million illegals here that we know of and thousands more coming in daily.
BRITAIN not just england!!! Do your education.
Lol you don't know Dearborn?!!, I am not in the US but I know & most of the Muslims outside US know about that Muslim la la land
Trump!🇺🇸
Fr. Calvin, if you see this and would like to connect with a brother in Christ, a great encourager and communicator of the gospel, who is a missionary to England from the US, please connect with Steve Same at The London Outreach Center, 32 Rotherhithe New Road, Rotherhithe London, SE16 2AD
Steve and his wife do wonderful work for their community out of their coverted pub.
Denominations ARE part of the problem. In US alone there are over 45,000 Christian denominations. Basically everyone interpreting Christianity according to their own conscience, that is why so many are confused as to what it really means to be a Christian.
big fan of you both!!!! with respect my evangelical church in the UK is anything but lukewarm, it is Bible teaching Calvary Chapel (dating from the Jesus Revolution in California in the 60s 70s) our teachers are many of the famous like John Wesley and Charles Spurgeon for example but the best teacher is the Gospel!! and we are quite real about what is going on around us!! Come and see!
thank you Mr Robinson for putting Jesus Christ front and center in the church.
The USA should learn from Britain's mistakes/Europe's errors. But will we???? GOD: HELP US!!!
We won't, our spy agency was "assisted" by their spy agency post ww2. We learned nothing other than the British racket for global hegemon.
No we haven't learned anything 😕
Britain is less Christian then the USA, believe me. They have religion, religion never saved anyone. The coronation was a nothing..nobody got anything from God from that.
The US wants to be the empire of the world. They wasn’t control of Russian , the e already destroyed Britain .
It's part of the Globalists' and the WEF's design to overwhelm our Western society and bring it down. And then out of the chaos and lawlessness that ensue they will bring order, ie, their New World Order. If you're a believer in Christ, then you know who's behind all of that, and know that it's time to look up, because our redemption draws near. But that's not to say that we just give up, right? I'll fight for our country and preservation of our way of life to the end. But that's just me. Cheers.
We absolutely need Calvin and other great young orators to have a greater platform here in the U.K.
So much respect for him and his message…👏👏👏
God bless Father Robinson.
What a brilliant man of God, I really enjoyed this conversation
A brave man. Thank God for Calvin Robinson.
Khan said when he was first voted in that he would make London a beacon for Islam. They got what they voted for.
I consider myself as part of the evangelical remnant in England. We do exist.
Pray for America!!!!!!

Jane Austen pointed it out in her novels when she represented Anglican clergy
as either fools: Mr Collins, Mr Elliott, or completely uninterested in their vocation as represented by Mr Ferrars. The post of vicar was looked at, especially by the gentry, as a place to deposit "third sons".
Many of The Church of England's pulpits, as a result, became largely populated with men who did not care about Christianity. The effect has, obviously been devastating.
I adore Father Calvin!
Thank you for this wonderful interview with Calvin Robinson. I've been following him through The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters (RUclips Channel) and he is absolutely amazing. He has G-dly Wisdom, is filled with the Holy Spirit, and has the courage of a lion.
Numbers 6:24-26 and Shalom Shalom.
I Never Saw or Viewed the UK as having ANY Religious Focus.
Now this Void is now Believer Vs Infidel
Oh btw Eric, can you ask Bishop Mar Mari onto your show, he is amazing!
Eric, your desk looked like a piano for a minute, I thought we were gonna sing a hymn for a sec! 😂
Love this conversation. We are in the great falling away of the church, our Lord Jesus Christ warn us about this time, a lot of us are still not seeing it, we need to wake up.
Two of my favorite people in the world!
Fr. Calvin is one of the lone voices in the UK…..and now the world, who gives TRUTH unabashedly.
Since GB news let him go… Just like Dan WOOTTON he has only flourished and I praise God for that because I love listening to him. He gets it, he has a truth teller, and he loves the Lord.
I subscribed to his Substack and it’s well worth it… Thank you so much Eric for having him on your show
Brilliant interview powerfully honest and hopefull!
Wonderful program, Eric. LOVED your book Letter to the American Church. Sadly, we are facing same issues in America where the out of control borders are causing the demographics and culture of our nation to shift. All the "strangers" coming in illegally and taking advantage of our people and resources. Crime increasing in the name of tolerance for values contrastly different to ours. God help us as we navigate these troubled times.
Good to hear this message 🙏✝️
It always feels my heart with joy to watch father Calvin’s defence of the faith
Agree on C.S. Lewis completely! I put A.W.Tozer in that group.
Except that CS Lewis didnt believe that Jesus was Diety, that He was God
@@user-co2li1vd5d..... Well as long as God knows.
Absolute nonsense. You couldn’t be more wrong. Have you actually read his works? Mere Christianity?
@@bobthebaptist4541 Yes, CS Lewis didnt believe that Jesus was part of the Godhead..Tozer did..
Psalms 78:5-8. KJV
Secularism began gradually in 1960 in the UK. And now, it's an all out Spiritual warfare and just the same in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. And the Church is for the most part is lukewarm and asleep.
Thank you for sharing such an important conversation. ❤
Bravo. Prayer is powerful. All praise and glory is for God 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
That was great! First time meeting Fr. Robinson. I agree with his view of the coronation - very moving. Yes, no compromise with evil. We’re living in the last of the last days and have to stand for the Truth and the Bible!
If all Christians would faithfully pray each day for their country the tide would soo change.cos God is faithful
Amen !

'Pretty much all of the faith out here is Church of England'
I love Calvin Robinson, but that is one of the strangest things he's ever said!!
Don't forget the Baptists, Brethren, Methodists, United Reformed Churches, Elim Pentecostals, Assemblies of God, Independent Evangelical Churches, Salvation Army, Presbyterians, Vineyard Churches, Calvary Chapels, Congregationalists, the house churches, etc etc etc ....
God bless you calvin😊❤❤❤❤
Calvin, we need someone like you in our R/C Church. You're nearly there !
Thank you
I love this guy. He's challenging and encouraging.
We are for a long time no longer followers of Jesus !!
We became church sitters building nothing.
That is great. wel said! 🙏✝️
Thank you both for the talk! The Most powerful words May have been: prayer! Nothing ist of greater importance. And Christians are one Body in Christ
Really enjoy watching you.. Thank you.
The Episcopal once knew what evil was truly evil and what good is truly a good.
Sadly, today the evil is now known as good, and the good we once knew is now an evil.
The Episcopal ignores what they do not like in the Holy Bible.
I never dreamed the Church in which I was confirmed in (about 1971) has become the Church it is today.
“Lost our Christian identity”. I feel we’ve lost that too
Ask someone if they are apathetic? They say I do not know and I do not care. Tragic
Blessing to you and your faith in the Lord.
Keep on sharing..
We will keep on praying. 🙏😊
1:37 I’m reminded of the difference between “seeking the kingdom of Heaven” and “being born again”.
Knowing there must be more, and turning from the world (aka, repenting) is essential), but many religious leaders seem to never “enter” the kingdom, and rather spend their lives studying it.
From New Zealand: have great admiration for both of you and listened to Calvin and am currently listening to ‘Bonhoeffer’ from Eric, when my pain Kees me awake at night. God bless you both for your courage and being outspoken on this and other issues.
