Your videos have been played a large part in my entry into the Faith. Just today, I attended Mass for the first time in my life after being raised Mormon and rejecting that at 13 years old in favor atheism. In the span of about 6 months, with help of your great videos and so many more creators, in addition to reading the Bible, I now plan to be Baptized. Praise the Lord!
Amen
If your attending Mass, it means you’re going to the Catholic Church, to be baptized as an adult you need to first do the catechism.
It’s like a school, you need to graduate on the Bible before they make you a baptized catholic.
Good to hear
May the lord be with you
@@icarojose6316 this is my intention. Thank you for your encouragement.

I visited a Presbyterian church in Korea and the one thing that struck me was the blackboard at the altar where the pastor holds lectures like a university professor. It was amazing.
As a Presbytherian but Mexican... Damn this is an Amazing idea XD
My pastor isnt very into college lecture type of sermon but we often have guesses that do... A family friend thats invited quite often is literally a college professor so... yeah. And this would be an amazing tool for them XD
@@imbratorful You are misled dear friend. 600 AD after Christ, a violent, thieving... pedophile warlord made claims about others major religions around him, so that they could join him. That is why is some parts of the quran he like the people of the Book. When the Jews and Christians rejected his vile warband, he turned on them. That is why you can see violent and oppressive suras in the hadiths and quran aimed at Christians and Jews.
Worship versus preaching/teaching. We must do both. We must worship the Lord as He told us. This led me to Catholicism haha. Crazy journey in the Lord. God bless you all so much.

I met an Ethiopian Orthodox guy who was my Uber driver a few weeks ago. Was absolutely floored by our conversation. The most genuine, humble, and incredibly kind faith I’ve witnessed in a long time. We were driving in a big city and he stressed the tragedy of all the expensive and incredible things we’ve built because they’ve become in idol, then stated “we have built all of this, because He built all of us, and we are like Him!”
Nice bro! Ethiopian Orthodox is my favorite denomination. Greetings from Ohio, USA😊

As a Christian with autism I find that the calm services of the liturgical services help me worship better. I know the experience isn't mutual but I do think that the way services are conducted are a good thing to look at when picking a church especially if you're new. If you can't stand loud noises flashing lights and a bunch of people most pentecostal and megachurches will make you miserable and that's not conductive to good faith imo
I agree that Pentecostal/Megachurch style does not create a reverent or holy environment. Don't feel ashamed for not liking it. It's not just your opinion, it's objectively bad
I agree, and I'm not even christian.
I completely relate, I am also an autistic Christian and I go to Dutch reformed churches, the organ and singing of the Genevsn hymns feels really peaceful
I'm an autistic guy who goes to a pentecostal church is there anything wrong with me?
No Joshua, nothing is wrong with you for that! Different environments facilitate worship better for different people. God bless you
As a Dutch Reformed person, I laughed out loud when you made that joke about us being nerds, shortly before feeling guilty about expressing an emotion.
😂
Come on, brother. You will always have a place with us catholics, we will even teach you how to silly dance at parties.
Our stereotype is all too true brother 😂

I was confirmed in the catholic church this easter. I really love it... we are the only parish within an hour of here and we make a huge impact, had well over 200 people in church, thriving families of races and backgrounds. I absolutley love it.
Hey same! I will be confirmed in a couple of years. Have been catholic all my life and I go to a very nice church
I’m coming up on one year in the Catholic Church as a convert baptized Presbyterian. I had a great experience and believe my relationship with God has deepened through the sacraments. God bless !!
Congratulations!! 🤍🕊️🙏

Make sure you are born again! Jesus said unless a man is born again, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. In Catholicism they never taught us about it, so please make sure you guys are. Born again is repenting from sin (transgression of 10 commandments) and accepting Jesus' sacrifice in faith as a free gift of eternal life, nothing else.
Pentecostal Christian here, and I love this! Too often the different denominations get divided and pitted against each other, but it’s all the same kingdom! God bless 🤍
Yes, but if a person isn't filled with the holy spirit he will not enter the Kingdom of god.
It's not just a simple difference,its a big difference!
Many pentecostals are oneness-believing in a single god that manifests itself in 3 different ways, as opposed to the trinity.
I can kinda see their logic. The burning bush isn't considered the 4th person of the trinity (quaternity?) after all 😂
I myself lean towards universal reconciliation (those who haven't accepted Jesus or commits sin without asking forgiveness goes to hell to be purged of sin and then goes to heaven). This squares the loving god and makes it somewhat easier to gloss over the ot god's issues.
The other option was that the ot god was actually the 😈 masquerading as God so that's where all the genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes come in.
The option I don't want to consider is that modern human rights philosophy (genocide, r-pe, murder is wrong, even if you think god told you to do it [he's all powerful, he can do it himself], lawgiver should be bound to the same laws) is wrong and that we're all supposed to be in bloodlust and bash people against rocks (eg "happy is he who basheth the little ones upon the rocks"), commit war crimes and crimes against humanity, and kill each other over arguments about god or s-xual orientation. Basically, a miserable existence of constant death and fear of death, lauded as good and just.😢
No idea what specific christian denomination this would follow. Unitarian universalists are different

“Different denominations of Christianity are just different provinces of the kingdom of God” that’s by far one the most beautiful ways I’ve heard someone describe it. Best way to end the video imo. I love my brothers and sisters in Christ ✝️♥️
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!”
Psalm 133:1 KJV
Is there room for other, non-Christian provinces in this kingdom of god? Hinduism and Buddhism are practiced by billions and are older than Christianity
@@arshbs
Good question! While other religions may tell you that there are multiple paths to God, the Christian worldview to put it simply, doesn’t say so, but rather that there is only one path to God and that’s through Jesus Christ (John 14:6). Another thing, Christianity teaches of the bodily resurrection of Christ, yet other religions have no godly figures or members in which they were resurrected themselves. And we know this to be true because still, no one has found any archaeological evidence (like bones or a skeleton) that could’ve been Jesus’s body in the tomb. It was empty (Luke 24 1-12).
Now to answer your question, yes! A non Christian CAN be adopted into the heavenly family of God IF they repent of their sins and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. When you have the time, read the story about Rahab from the Old Testament. (Joshua chapter 2) She was a harlot in Jericho who kept two Israelite spies safe, and in return they promised when they conquered Jericho, they would keep her and her family safe if she and said family stay in her house. Harab living in Jericho, would’ve been considered a FOREIGNER to God’s people, but God, had mercy on her and her family because she helped the Israelites, knowing they were coming. Later she even married an Israelite and became part of God’s family. Plus, Jesus’s family line goes back to her! (Matthew 1:5). Point is, Rahab at first wasn’t a part of God’s family, but accepted the Lord into her life and His people. She was once a stranger, a foreigner, but became a fellow citizen with the saints, and of the household of God (Ephesians 2:19). This story alone paints a beautiful picture of how anyone, no matter what walk of life they came from, can be adopted into God’s family, they just need to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and they will truly be saved.
“that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
Romans 10:9 KJV
Hope this helps! c:
@@axelsdestiny5206 As a non Christian but definite believer in God/gods (youtube isn't the place to get into this peculiar distinction), I just have to note that Hinduism has several avatars of of various gods that have incarnated as different beings multiple times even if it's not precisely 'resurrection' - Krishna is Vishnu relaxed/at play for example, rather than an entirely new god. Indeed, all of the Hindu gods are just ways to represent God, who, in their totality of just simply being God can't be described appropriately in language or even simply to describe one nature or being.
Not trying to be pedantic, but this is among many other reasons I would argue there can be multiple paths to God rather than simply an Abrahamic route, but I respect your faith and wish you peace profound and many blessings :).
@@arshbson top of the example given about Rahab, traditionally, salvation was only afforded to israel and the jews, however the gospel states multiple times that through Christ's sacrifice and teachings, salvation is ALSO brought to non-jews (a.k.a. gentiles) provided they repent of their sins, and accept Christ as their redeemer, Lord, and Savior.
It's pretty based.
@@deconteville It really depends on whether or not you believe Jesus's claims were valid. If you believe they were then there is no room for believing that there is more than one way to God. Jesus made dozens of statements of personal exclusivity and centrality: "I am the resurrection and the life;" "unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you;" but probably the most stark and explicit statement was this: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
If Jesus really is the Christ, the Son of Man, then you cannot be saved apart from faith in him any more than you can survive without food and water. Because just as water and bread are necessary food and drink for the body, just so Jesus is necessary food and drink for the soul. "He who comes to me will never hunger, and he who believes in me will never thirst... ...for this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him will have eternal life, and I myself will raise him up on the last day... ...for my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink."
As a Catholic, I am very pleased to find a video celebrating the goodness of my brothers and sisters in Christ, regardless of their denomination. Any man or woman who loves God and Jesus is my friend, and I will celebrate their good works. God bless.
Only way to God is through CHRIST the devil made Marry a distraction so that people don’t give there attention to Christ
@@supercooldude824 and then there's this guy
@@ne0nmancer yes not through Mary
@@supercooldude824 Nowhere in Catholic doctrine it says that salvation is earned through Mary, only protestants believe Catholics believe in this.
@@ne0nmancer than why do they worship Mary 🤨😂
I really enjoy these videos! Very brief but to the point. As a catholic, I feel so pleased to see the accomplishments come from the faith. Some of the paintings and sculptures, especially in the Vatican and Rome, are some of the most remarkable and beautiful I’ve ever seen. It’s a shame no one talks about the church’s contribution to modem science however.
I am lutheran, but i think most christians have to concede that out of all the churches, catholicism is the face of christianity, in the world today.
A Catholic French scientist Jerome Lejuene discovered the genetic link behind several syndromes including cri du chat syndrome and Down syndrome. He should have won a Nobel prize but he was pro-life. He has been declared a Servant of God and one day may be a saint.
atheists think the church has suppressed science 😂
I have just recently joined my local Antiochian Orthodox Church after being what I call “spiritually lost” for years. They were the only church that actively welcomed me and only after a few visits, the father of the church finally gave me an Orthodox Study Bible. I plan to be a catechumen and baptized soon!
Same here!
Praise be to God! ☦️
God bless you brother!
God bless you my friend, I’m Lebanese American and an Antiochian Orthodox Christian too. Hope you’re doing well.
Amen!
I'm glad you didn't disregard the Catholic Church's commitment to charity, as a Catholic this is hugely important to me and speaks more than any particualr theological doctrine. God bless, I pray for union and ecumenism with all people who would say that Jesus Christ is Lord!
I was very pleasantly surprised on what he said about our church as many protestants think it's evil and hate us. This channel is good for Christian unity and discussion ❤️🇻🇦
Hasn’t Catholicism historically cursed non Catholics Christians?
@@Wilkins325unfortunately but now that's just for those extremist who hate gay people and stuff like that
@@Wilkins325 I really don't even know what this means, but no, Catholics did not curse other Christians because they were not Catholic. The Church will say, to this day, that Catholicism gives the greatest certainty towards salvation, but every other Christian will say the same, whether they be Lutheran, Anglican, East Orthodox, or Nestorian. Cursing someone means to do a deal with some lesser demon or Lucifer himself to wish undo harm upon somebody in some dark pact. Catholicism does not do this. It affirms (and I and all the faithful agree) that that we are the church that Christ created through His death, resurrection, and ascension into Heaven, and that those who affirm the divinity of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit yet do not follow the universal church, have put themselves in a dire situation, as Christ proclaimed that HIs church would remain undivided and Universal (Mt 16:18-19) and that not even the forces of Sheol would overcome it
There are many people all over the world who commit to charity without believing in God. I am often told by Christians that because I am an Atheist I have no moral compass, I would strongly disagree with that, I do the right thing and help others, not in order to secure a place in heaven but because it is the right thing to do,
I'm not a religious type but this channel is a great way to learn more about Christianity not just as a religion but how it exists in the world
You don't have to be "the religious type" to understand who Jesus is and what he did for the world. Jesus taught us how to live and be a light in the darkness of the world... And he invites everyone to join him. Wouldn't you want to be part of it? 😊
God isn't a religion. He's a relationship.
God is neither... He's God. If you. Mean Christianity is a relationship and not a religion, that's still wrong. It is both. We are to have a relationship with God but also fellowship with one another, whom we meet with regularly.
@greglejacques1094 What kind of supremacy are you talking about? I don't get it. Jesus thought that everyone is equal in the eyes of God, and everyone will be accountable to Him for what each has done. I fail to see what "supremacy" is in that.
@greglejacques1094🤓🖖

Assyrian christian here, it’s astonishing how we survived to this day, blessings to everyone ❤️🙏.
In the USA, Christians have it way too easy. Too comfortable. This is why there's little new growth.
The Church thrives best under persecution. The atheist sees the willingness of the Christians to suffer and die for Jesus, and are moved. They can't un-see it.
During Roman times, they would feed Christians to the lions with all of Rome watching on. For every Christian who died in the Coliseum, two more new converts appeared.
Don't be astonished how a denomination survived under persecution. Wonder instead how any denomination survives without it.
Praise God!

Anglican-Episcopal here, thank you for one of the most accurate and balanced views of our denomination that I've seen on the Internet! The variety in our church means we can have great discussions within our trust in the same basic beliefs, while joining together for our action in the world. We span the globe.
As someone who was raised in a largely Baptist community (and whose grandparents are still Freewill Baptists), you are spot on in the assessment of them. They heavily emphasize the importance of a personal relationship and devotion to Christ and my Granny is very devout and lives that life as best as she can. My Papaw (RIP) was the same way.
I’m an Independent Baptist myself, & that is incredibly accurate.
@rubyj777 also 5th largest protestant denomination, largest protestsn medical and educational system, in more countries than the next few smaller denominations combined. In the US its a minority church but worldwide one of the biggest protestant churches
This is wholesome. ☺❤from ☦.
Sorry for your loss.
While I do think a personal connection with God and thus prayer and Bible reading is very important, my biggest concerns with the Baptist POV is that it is too individual focused, which means people will develop vastly different interpretations of the Bible, and often times interpret thje Bible to justify their own views, even if its an incorrect interpretation. Imo it is better to have an authority (namely a Church created by Jesus Christ that traces its origin back to St Peter himself) help with the interpretation of the Bible, as it is an insanely complex reading and there is a lot of room for misunderstanding
As a Presbyterian Christian, I am very happy to see the positive qualities of my church, and my brothers' churches. Your work is fantastic brother, may God bless you all.

My church might look like an upper class castle but the Marinites really know how to worship.
As someone raised Catholic, I always did love Catholic architecture and Renaissance art and music. Culturally, it played a huge part in the West artistically. That being said, I did always like the Presbyterians intellectual approach and the Baptists personal approach to God. Everybody's got their great attributes.
Baptist here! The architecture is indeed beautiful. ☺️
Anglican here. You did us justice. We have a lot in common with what you said about the Lutherans as well. While we are Gospel centered, we also place a high emphasis on sacramental theology. That, as you said sounds quite Catholic and also quite Protestant.
Also an Anglican, and I very much agree!
Makes me happy as a resident of England to finally see Anglicanism get some love.
I ended up (by what I can only call God’s providence) attending an anglican service while I was on vacation a couple weeks ago and really enjoyed it. It was among the most liturgical services I’ve been to in a protestant church and I think that’s something many churches could use a lot more of. Presbyterians take notes. Pretty sure the baptists are hopeless there

@greglejacques1094Abuse is wickedly present in every organization of any size. Workplaces, schools, churches, scouts, etc.
I grew up in Eastern Europe where religion is not very prevalent but our Orthodox churches were always a place of peace and calm that my dad taught me to go to on special occasions. I love going in when I just want a moment for contemplation of life. I love sitting there with a candle in my hand, not being bothered by anyone and being alone with my thoughts while enjoying the beautiful artwork on the walls & ceiling and at the same time having an inner monologue with God. That is what church & faith is for me. ❤ I love our Orthodox churches!
What do you mean? Eastern Europeans are very religious atleast compared to western Europeans, it was banned under communism but that didnt stop people.
@mojewjewjew4420 There are some religious people but on average I'd say most aren't. At least not in Bulgaria. I'm speaking from personal experience. If you ask them they'll say they believe there probably is 'something out there' but they don't know anything about the Bible or Jesus or go to church (except on special occasions) etc etc We are more serious about our traditions but not so much religion. Not because anyone is rebelling against anything like they do in Western Europe, it's just not something we think about much in general.

I don't know if people are getting more religious.. that's something I'm definitely noticing in the west as a reaction to all the crazy stuff happening in the world.

It doesn't state "Purgatory" verbatim but it is definitely there through context, just like how every self-respecting Christian believes in the Trinity, which doesn't show in the Bible verbatim but is there contextually in Matthew 28:19. Even the mere presence and existence of the Holy Spirit as God had to be fought over by the Catholics in Constantinople back in the day.
The Modern Bible may be the written word of God, but it is what it is, a collection of ancient books, translated into Latin by Jerome, compiled and rewritten by Catholic monks and cannonized by councils before it could even be translated into English. It is a work of translation and contextualization that should be read with great understanding and wisdom. There is no room for nitpicking. Some words are direct while others, especially with Paul's letters, require context. It is not a blueprint to the universe, not some magical book that tells you what to do next in your life, it is an incomplete work of man inspired by the divine that men of old have died over. Even John states that it is so since no book in the world could ever fit the entire works of Christ.
So, if you say that it isn't in the Bible, ask yourself again, why does it exist? The Catholics have worked on their beliefs since Peter was given the keys to the kingdom. You can thank him too for resolving whether you had to be circumcised to be Christian in The Acts, which Christ did not teach while on earth, mind you. There are many things on earth that the Bible did not write about, so don't worship the Bible. Worship God like the rest of us.
If I could guess why he left the Baptists was because probably he is American and it's in their culture to "religion hop" Sad that his spouse left the Catholic Church, probably due to the current leaders. May they both see the Truth.
As an agnostic person who was raised catholic I have been scared to ask the kinds of questions this video answers, and I found it super informative and welcoming!
So happy to hear that! Feel free to research and have your questions answered. My personal recommendation would be the channel “The Bible Project”, as they are good at answering bible related questions, but your primary source of biblical knowledge should be the Bible itself. Anyway, have a nice day, and God bless you :)
I know several Catholics who drifted away but then found a home in the Orthodox Church. You should check them out.
Just remember that no religion can ever provide one little thing... evidence
@@AreGeeBee Well, obviously, that's why you must BELIEVE. If there was clean-cut evidence it wouldn't be a religion (you must have FAITH that it did happen) , it would be known history of the world. 😪😪
@@AreGeeBee vague statement. Depends on what evidence, what you define AS evidence, what's evidence to someone else. Since religions exist, that is evidence of religion, q.e.d. (or maybe ipso facto, many years since freshman philosophy.)
I love this video! I'm catholic but over the last few years I've really gained appreciation for various denominations and come to understand them like different cultures united by largely the same beliefs that they just approach in their very own ways, and your allegory of different provinces of god's kingdom just hit the nail on the head for me. Thank you for your wise words and, at the same time, very entertaining videos!
Thank you very much for this video. It's so refreshing to see a balanced and harmonious video about Christian denominations, especially when many people often just feel like slandering and hating others just because of difference in denomination.
“There’s a reason why cults have only one version of them: because they don’t actually have an impact on the world and they’re not able to develop naturally by interacting with the different cultures.”
I have never heard it phrased that way, but it makes complete sense to me. It’s one of those truths that you instinctively feel throughout life, but don’t realize consciously. An excellent point!
Mormonism and Islam (both born from "Christian" gnostic cults) are 2 exceptions, but simply because of longevity. Compared to Christianity, their beneficial impact on the world is quite small.
Hence why he didn’t talk about certain groups that claim to be Christianity but in reality are cults derived from it such as Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons
It's NOT an excellent point. It is ignorant of the fact that Christianity calls us out of the cultures of the world to fit into the singular culture of the body of Christ. You are WAY OFF BASE.
@thundershadow aren't the different denominations proof that Christianity is not a culture but a umbrella term to describe the religion in general. The different denominations create their own cultures around the world affecting and being affected by their surroundings
@@chrischeng9145 I already said what the different denominations indicate. We have one creator of the church and it isn't man but the man Christ Jesus. For our part in the construction of the church the bible tells us to be careful how we build upon the Body of Christ. And in another place in scripture it is said that we should all say the same things after all it is suppose to be the same spirit who guides us. A house divided against itself cannot stand.
Nice video. I do have to highlight that Assyrian Church of the East along with Syriac Orthodox Church have done an amazing job at keeping the Aramaic language alive so that we can study the Aramaic of Jesus.
Yes! as well as the Chaldean Catholic Church
as a Syriac-American I can say that most Syriacs have done well at keeping the language alive with a few acceptions here in America
I've always identified as Christian, but I'm sad to say it's always been more of a social Christian thing for me. I've been on a journey of my own faith recently. I intend to start doing more bible study so I can truly understand god's word. I recently started reading Lee Strobel's "Case for Christ."
I love what you are doing here, and it has become a valuable resource. I'm not sure if you have already, but I would love to see a deep dive into each of the denominations.
Glad to hear it! May I also recommend reading the bible every day without fail- remembering 'bible before breakfast' changed my walk with God immensely.
Be a follower of Christ not denomination with the Holy Spirit as your teacher.
@joshuastover645 how are you going with it?
Loved the case for christ books they are awesome. Devoured them all when I was 18.
Could I suggest (if you haven't already read) mere christianity by Cs. Lewis. You prob have read it but it is a book I return to at least once a year.
I really liked this video. Thank you. You are a breath of fresh air in a world that loves to highlight the WORST of ourselves and our DIFFERENCES, you went against the grain. God bless
I am not religious but I do have an appreciation for history and find this video very helpful because distinguishing the different sects of Christianity from one another can get hard at times.
Hey same! It's important historical context that adds to the dynamics and story. Just because it's not for me doesn't make it less valid to others
This is because none of them understand what Jesus was teaching .
It's all just meaningless dogma gullible folk have been brainwashed with.
Christian history is super facinating
@Alex-ff1mk It's a very dark history indeed.
Inquisitions, slaughter of the Cathars, burning of so - called witches, priests living in luxury, insane dogma and brainwashing, bigotry, sectarian warfare, etc.

As someone who was raised Baptist/Non-denominational, I think it would be a good idea for Christians to try out different churches in order to target our different goals as a Christian. Ex: Pentecostal churches could be for worship time, Baptist churches could be for growing faith, Presbyterian churches could be good for learning/study time, and Eastern Orthodoxy/Catholic churches could be good for valuing traditions
yes... just being careful not to be entertained by false theology, even for the sake of trying to experience a different denomination. most churches are genuine, for sure. some don't even preach the Gospel and its amazing to me
Exactamundo!!
I was raised Catholic and although I enjoy he ritual and pomp and circumstance, I also feel spiritual fulfillment listening to lectures by Dr. Chuck Missler and Bible studies by Ontario Calvary Chappel. I've been to the local Orthodox church and enjoyed rhe beautiful art and Dutch Reform church and enjoyed the fellowship there.
I don't want to be put in one box or another, I just follow Jesus and enjoy His presence throughout many denominations
So… can’t wait to meet you up in Taizé ;)
Ooh, great idea!
Very interesting video. What I like most about Eastern Orthodoxy is the mysticism. The monastic system and mount Athos and the vast literature as collected in the Philokalia. Very useful tool for "discerning the spirits" or to tell if a mystic or ecstatic experience was authentic or not.
Gotta be honest, I've only took my faith seriously last year, and I was pretty confused on all the Christian Denominations fearing if I'm on the wrong one and stuff. I'm a 15 year old from Asia, and I gotta admit this is an eye opener :D, I'm from the Catholic Church :)). It's like a really big family with different personalities and hobbies. I hear that some people argue a lot based on what Church they're on, and it reminds me of siblings actually hehe, but still of course, everyone is united as one family through Christ as our savior, through God, amazing :DD.
This was such a cool video!!! I learned so much. I grew up catholic, still go to a catholic church and i love catholic tradition but im not sure i agree with every aspect, i admire how baptists place importance on individual faith and i had no idea of St. Athanasius impact until now! Thanks so much for this video i really appreciate it, God bless you always😊💓
A great way to learn more about our Catholic faith is to attend your church's OCIA (previously RCIA) program. It's open to ANYONE who wants to learn more about Catholicism, what we believe, and why.
@ca147 idk if my church has one but I'll ask. I currently attend confirmation classes as well
This video was just so calming, informative and uplifting. As an Orthodox Christian, I know well that suffering under persecution for centuries will, despite the odds, give more meaning and strength to our faith. It is only in tenuous times that the truly faithful ones can show. This is why we must always remain strong, no matter the circumstances. God is real, and God helps us fight on even in the hardest battles
Yeah, you really nailed the central focus of Lutherans. This was so exciting to watch, it's almost what I imagine Thomas feeling when he touched the body of Christ and knew that he had risen, in this case, I am excited to see the works of the Spirit expressed differently in all the parts of the church. The church has one foundation.
I'll admit that I was a little annoyed that he was talking about the Presbyterians' intellectual approach (even though they obviously do) because I was like "uh.... us too!" But then when he got to us, I couldn't complain 🤣
He knocked this one outta the park imo
@@matthewbless3335 I was thinking that as well as a Lutheran, but legacy/popularity-wise, the Presbyterians just have us "beat." For example, L'Abri Fellowship, a ministry network of houses dedicated to helping both Christian and non-Christian guests explore questions of faith as related to a wide range of topics, is Presbyterian. We just aren't at that level yet.
Im armenian ortodox myself and always wondert what the big diffrence is between churches around the world, your videos explained it so clear. God bless and keep doing what your doing
О, привет. Где ты проживаешь?
This was an incredibly well done video. Didn't throw shade at any denomination, and really promoted the good that comes out of each one. Thank you for making this, and God bless in you're future videos!
Loved this. Born and raised Pentecostal but I’m embracing reformed theology. It was such a drastic change in my belief system. I’ve merged the two. Pentecostal in worship but reformed theology in doctrine. Unfortunately many of my peers have given me the side eye 😂 still love them the same. God bless.
Welcome into the Reformed community. I like Pentecostals and I would love to have both Pentecostal worship with Reformed theology to preach.
@@nangephriam1211 I’m still learning and some things are hard to grasp but if this is truth the HS will guide me.
God is a motherfucker
I attend baptist church myself and this video hit the nail on the head. Every altercall at the end of service talks about how our deacons and pastors can "Pray with you and show you how to have a life with Jesus"
Ive been to a lutherine church before and others here and there, but I definitively feel the most at home in a baptist church.
The only thing annoying to me about Baptist practices is that they're very "Protestant" in that they do a lot of preaching and teaching, they know their Bible... but they don't do any actual *worship* of God. Which is just as important. Even the Catholics are getting away from worship.
Thank you for spreading Unity brother
As a Lutheran, that's an awesome description of our church. Keep this type of video coming!!😊
Agreed!!
the new zealand being cut off at 7:05 was the cherry on top of this very informative video!
Ouch
Videos like this are very important because they bridge the gap between denominations and remind us that the other denominations are valuable and have their place. It’s also an excellent indicator of the various aspects of Christianity we may not be putting enough focus on.
I'm a Buddhist and I find these videos very educational! It's nice to finally find a Christian influencer who isn't using their faith as a weapon, and who seems to genuinely just want to talk about their faith.
same here!!
Jesus said: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6
A Christian who believes this, & I do, is not going to accept any other way. That is just the nature of believing what scripture says. To me wanting to be accepted by the world will certainly not lead you in the path of truth.
Jesus was NOT a joiner, he said: "Do you think that I came to give peace on the earth? No, I say to you, but rather division. For from now there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. They will be divided father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law." Luke 12:51-53
These verses are straight up not difficult to understand. So when you want unity without understanding what your Lord & Master wants, you are doing what is right in your own eyes, you are natural man/mankind & "But the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to understand them, because spiritually they are discerned." 1 Corinthians 2:14
I am against compromising God's word to get along with others who simply disregard the scriptures, preferring to do what is right in their own eyes. So any ecumenism that goes against what the scriptures correctly understood says, is a no go as it should be. When you have your feelings/heart as the standard of what is right & wrong, you have made yourself the judge of good & evil which hearkens back to the garden & the tree of the knowledge of good & evil; which is how we got here in the first place. Genesis chapter 3/Jeremiah 17:9:
The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?
@fuzzycounsellor9147
And you're telling me this because?... I'm not trying to convince you to become a Buddhists. Please don't try to convince me to become a Christian.
What Christian influencers use faith as a weapon😂
@@charzard1000
Paul and Morgan, Girl Defined, and the Pearls, to name a few
the thing about pentecostals focusing on the Holy Spirit is very true! growing up, i've always been taught about being sensitive to the Holy Spirit in all aspects, not just the gifts.
another thing that's been common in my experience is a big emphasis on prayer. all of the genuine "prayer warriors" i've come across are pentecostals.
I completely agree. My first time partnering with Pentecostals was at my school to start a prayer group after school, and I have never experienced someone passionately praying for God to move with the anticipation that it is actually going to happen in a mighty way.
As one was was born and raised Jewish, your videos have been great for understanding Christianity, and as I learn more about Jesus I am considering joining a Christian community, your videos give me insight into ones I may feel more at home in.
Hey there Friend, I just wanted to say that I hope you find a great community of faith and fellowship! Have a great day!
God bless you Brother im a Christian who's Mum is Jewish. Jesus loves you so much : )
Have you considered eastern orthodoxy?
I would be interested in whether you see similarities between the worship practices of the Eastern Orthodox Church and Judaism. The first time I heard the Divine Liturgy, it really made me think that, but I'm not Jewish so not sure how accurate that perception is.
@aobrainstem9208 if you don’t want to stop being a jew You can be a messianic Jews. It’s a type of Jew who considers Jesus as the promised Messiah in the Old Testament but still consider himself as Jews and follow both the new and the Old Testament.
Very good video. As a life long Catholic, I’ve always believed that God reveals himself to each of us in a different way. The various denominations serve different needs for people, but as God’s children, we are all ultimately on the same “team”.
That's not the Catholic way of thinking.
I was raised Methodist and one of the most used phrases I heard growing up was:
"Being the hands and feet of Christ."
Mission trips started at age 12 at the youngest, but even younger children were encouraged to go and find ways to volunteer. It was never about using the opportunity to preach or proselytize, but to show Christ's compassion, mercy, and generosity through charitable action.
Hurricane or tornado comes through? Within a week our church had people onsite, helping to rebuild. Going to a homeless shelter to cook meals? If anyone was caught taking pictures or treating the people at the shelter like props or animals, ooohhwhee that was a bad time. I still respect the Methodist churches for that.
I love to see a young, bright mind bringing the traditions together. We as Christians of all traditions need more of this.
I pray this channels content reaches everyone. Everyone needs to see this. It would enlighten so many people.

That last analogy about all the different denominations of Christianity being like different provinces in the kingdom of God really warmed my heart. We are all brothers in Christ despite our theological disagreements. For example, I’m Catholic, and I think that a lot of catholic worship is beautiful and holy (though I personally find it kinda boring sometimes, however I’m not there to get anything out of it, I’m there to worship the Lord!) but I also really love some Baptist forms of worship that are more exciting with some dancing, loud singing, and arms in the air without being too irreverent.
Agreed. There's way too much crap-flinging online between different Christians. We may disagree on things, but I love how OP focuses on the things all Christians fundamentally agree on.
Heavenly Father says (from 10/10/2007 message to Verne Dagenais in 'God speaks will you listen'): "Many in your world teach and believe all religions lead you to God. Many believe it does not matter how you pray because all religions pray to the same God. This is one of the most hideous lies Satan has deceived mankind into believing. These lies are causing many to spend eternity in Hell. There is only one way to Heaven. Partial truth will not gain you entrance to My Kingdom.
My Son stated; "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No man comes to the Father but by Me (John14:6)." My Son is the bridge and the gate into My Kingdom. Without My Son’s Life in your soul, you will suffer eternal death. My Word further states: "He that hates Me hates My Father also (John 15:23)." Further My Word states: "Whosoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father. He that confesses the Son, has the Father also (1 John 2:23)." For My Son also stated: "I and the Father are one (John 10:30) and he that sees Me sees the Father also (John 14:9)." You cannot have a relationship with your Father without My Son. You MUST have My Son’s Divine Life in your soul and be in Sanctifying Grace to enter Heaven. There are no exceptions to this rule. These are the Eternal Laws spoken by the Almighty.
Satan is trying to trap and deceive My children into denying these Truths. All religions teach partial Truth, except the Holy Roman Catholic Church. It is the Only Church which teaches the fullness or completeness of My Revelation to mankind. All other Christian denominations only teach partial truth. This is the design of Satan. Satan knows how mankind enters Heaven. He knows by denying My Son (in the Holy Eucharist) and refusing My Son’s mercy (given through the Sacraments), will send a soul to Hell."
@greglejacques1094 Our Lord says (from 10/28/2006 message to Verne Dagenais in 'God speaks will you listen'): "No one enters Heaven without embracing All My Truth. There will be no schisms or fighting in Heaven. Everyone in Heaven knows the Truth. Do you realize one of the worst events in the history of the world was the protestant reformation? For it caused division in My Church. Here is an example. If you plant a seed and do not water it, it will not grow. But if you water it, it will germinate and, in the midst of a garden of flowers, a weed can sprout. Many weeds can destroy gardens. So it is with My Church. The author of confusion, Satan, spread doubts in My priests, like Martin Luther. Instead of rebuking these doubts, he let Satan water his doubts, weeds grew, and confusion and schism came in My Church. This was not My Will. Let Me ask you a question; how much Truth do you want? 100%, 50% or 25%? Anything less then 100% of My Truth will cause confusion. There is only one source of Truth in the Universe, the Holy Trinity, anything else comes from Satan.
When you read and study protestant ministers and prophets, who do not teach 100% of My Truth, where is there source of truth coming from? It is not from Jesus. It is from their own imagination or Satan. Remember Satan loves to sow confusion. He is infinitely smarter than humans and he knows the Truth. His goal is to deceive mankind. When you read a prophet who denies My Church, blasphemes My Blessed Mother, and profanes My Eucharist, why listen to that prophet, for that teaching comes from one place, the pit of Hell. That is not to say I do not work through protestant ministers, because Any Words of Mine are Truth. I desire all men to be saved. But many are held in ignorance of not their own fault.
You have a choice: follow false teachers, those who teach partial Truth, or follow Me completely. Come to Me in the Blessed Sacrament and let Me teach you along with My holy priests, messengers, and My Church. Do not spend your time with those, who teach only partial Truth. Say 'Jesus, I trust in You', and I will lead you."
@@hyeminkwun9523Although I'm all for everyone being Catholic, I do not recognize this Verne person. Was this person a visionary canonized by the Church? If so, then this person's revelation is against Vatican II and its message of inclusivity but without Church compromise. In fact, this message is an absolute detestation of it. Are you perhaps, a Sede Vacantist? SSPX? If so, then I believe that you're in the wrong here.
Baptist tend to be known for toned down worship, not necessarily loud
As an agnostic, I found this video very informative. I learned a lot here that I don't think I would have otherwise
I hope you pray, even if you’re unsure about it. And I also hope you try reading the Bible for yourself. Please start with the Gospels.
I love the positivity in talking about the best parts of each denomination. We can’t say any is wrong. Just different, and that’s ok.
And the part about the cult was eye opening.
And different provinces of the kingdom of God. I’m going to start thinking of it like that. Awesome video!
We can dispute which one has the coolest cross on its icon though.
I suspect that we're going to get to heaven and discover that none of us is absolutely right on all points.

Thank you for your positive representation of Pentecostalism! Many other denominations will just dismiss us as crazies.
Very true I thought if he was going to say anything positive at all it would be that Pentecostals know how to worship with an unashamed joyful noise but i like his so much better because it’s what others claim is our weakest weirdest attribute
In Brazil Pentecostalism is so huge that it even replaces the natural understanding of people of what Protestantism is, like if they go to any Protestant church where people aren’t crying, screaming or having a seizure during the service people will think this is a Catholic Church that got mugged of all their states and paintings
I apologize if I have made fun of Pentecostals (I’m an Independent Baptist); perhaps it has something to do with the way you speak in tongues, and how often you do it! 😧
I'm not one but they are doing lots of good work. They're heavily involved in prison ministry and to those who are down and out. Some of the strongest Christians I've met have been Pentecostal.
I'm one, and I love it. I do want to take a less evangelical view of Catholicism tho, that's where most of Pentecostal preachers and I disagree
I go to a reformed baptist church here in Brazil. I feel my church resembles what you said about Baptists and Presbyterians.
BTW, great video as always. Keep up the good work, I know this will have an impact in many people's lives.
As a non-catholic, I am so grateful to the Catholic church for emphasizing the importance and centrality of the Incarnation, God in the flesh as Jesus. Believers of whatever stripe or creed are nothing without that focus.
Your welcome 🌝
Catholicism, as in the pope, split from the body of the Church in 1054, if he was right to challenge Constantinople, why didn't the other Holy Sees of the Pentarchy follow him, they were outside greek influence and power, being under the muslims. You have to "thank" the catholics for leading your ancestors astray and then even further into protestantism...
@@ade9597The Catholic Church never spilt from the true religion. Stop spreading lies.
@@AS-yz2izThe catholic church left the Pentarchy, committing heresies before leaving it for centuries, lying about them(the Filioque clause, that they added to the Creed, the Donatio Constantini being another one, not to mention everything that led up to the protestants upheaval), after approving of the
Hell they spread during the crusades, culminating with the forth, persecuting orthodoxy after in the lands of the former Eastern Empire, and setting up parallel "patriarchies" and bishoprics, including the abominations that are the "greek-catholic" churches, simony, indulgences, king-making, leading armies, whoremongering, bishops having children, murders, coveting worldly power and rule over the other 4 patriarchates when they were just honorific leaders
Wow man. I'm new to the faith and just joined a church a few weeks back. One of my questions has always been 'if this is all real, why is there so many different 'versions''? Your summation at the end "Imagine these are different provinces in the Kingdom of God" hit like a brick. Thanks, brother!
4:28 i like how you included pineapple on pizza as a worldly corruption lol
As a Presbyterian I appreciate how you highlighted our intellectual way of thinking. I love to learn and study, and have always been fond of science especially. As a kid, I loved school and got great grades, and would spend hours reading books. And I think my faith may have played a part in encouraging me to observe and learn about God's creation.
❤❤❤❤
I know most, if not, every group you mentioned might never break bread together (at least not on this side of heaven), but pointing out the best aspects in all of us is refreshing to hear in a world where everyone wants to point out the worst.
As a Coptic Orthodox, I say that most of the oriented orthodox churches are still suffering and many got killed because of being Christian.. Proud to be Christian Orthodox from the oriented ones ❤

Can’t wait - I LOVE the BODY OF CHRIST! ❤
I'm a Southern Baptist pastor and I definitely agree that a sizable portion of my sermons is seeing the urgency to heed the calling of God, however, I come from an Independent Fundamental Baptist background and I also strive to convey the importance of not just knowing what you believe but WHY, and prodding the congregation to truly understand the Word of God and being able to assess it with a sense of philosophical insight. As the old saying goes, "Theology is the queen of sciences, and philosophy is her handmaiden."
Loved this breakdown and every other one that you have presented. Godspeed!

Buddy whatever you're doing keep it up. You're explanation of the different denominations is beyond helpful. The denominations being the providences of God's Kingdom is an awesome analogy.
I like this video. It’s pointing out that there are strong positives in each denomination, and I like your analogy at the end. Good on you for promoting unity through highlighting what each province does best.
Finally building up and encouraging instead of tearing down and hating on other denominations. This is what it looks like 🙌
Well, only if you don't read some of the comments, but to be honest, was expecting a blood bath down here, everyone seems unnaturally wholesome even for internet standards.
As a Catholic i respect my fellow Christian may we all live longer and and live in peace. ❤🤝 😊🙏
That bit at the end about each of the denominations being different provinces in the Kingdom of God is really good. I have questioned for my whole life why there are denominations in our Faith, and that is the single best answer I have ever heard for it.
God bless you brother, and keep up the great work.
This video has only strengthened my faith and dedication to the Lutheran church,so thank you for the video😊.

You cannot claim to be an Orthodox and then say something like "oh it doesn't matter what you believe in, even if it contradicts Orthodoxy, as long as you just build up that relationship". You really do sound like a protestant or a non denom. What jurisdiction are you? Is Jesus and God the Father the creator of all things or is only God the Father the creator of all things?

This channel is very helpful for learning what makes each of them unique!

This is much needed! Christians are so good at pointing out the flaws in each other's denomination, we need to realise we all are brothers in sisters under the same God.
In fact it is made plain in Ephs. There's one Salvation, one Lord, one God and one Church.
This was an incredibly detailed and humbing video brother.
If anything, i realised that i can agree with practically agree with all these churches. We trully are all Christians first.
Thank you very much for the enlightenment.
This video is surprisingly wholesome. I love his appreciation of all the branches of Christianity. I consider myself nondenominational, but my theology is more Baptist. He pretty much summed us up to a T!
Isn’t Baptist a cool name for non-denominational Christianity ?
@@icarojose6316 I'd say it's more the other way around - non-denominational is more a word people use when they don't associate with a certain denomination. However, most non-denominationals fall somewhere between Baptist and Pentecostal in terms of beliefs/theology
"Different provinces of the kingdom of God"; what an excellent way to word it! I love your videos. Such interesting content.
“Pentecostals are best at focusing on the Holy Spirit” made me chuckle. Great video, and very fair to everyone.
Wow that last line was beautiful. Thank you for this succinct, informative and charitable treatment of all denominations!
I always love when a video brings us, Christians, together
I’ve found myself falling back into religion lately, and I’m hoping to find which branch of Christianity is right for me. Thank you for this video.
Only you will know which church will serve you best (or in which church you will serve better 😁). Relation with God is personal, and only you can answer that (well, I sound like a Baptist, right? But in fact I am a Catholic, but I read a lot of Presbyterian theologians).
Just go to any church that you like and let God speaks to you, where He needs you to be...

Just read the bible and get closer to God and his kingdom. If a church cannot open the bible they are not worthy of your time.
