    I'm South African Christian. I live in Leon Spain for 3 months and I remember weeping one morning as I had quiet time, the city felt so orphaned. Everyone I met was atheist or born into a catholic family but wasn't practicing in any way. I remember asking God to send me to Spain as a missionary 8 years ago. It's been amazing to see how the local church I go to when I am in Barcelona hs been growing so much and even sent missionaries to Malaga... but it's true that the growth seems to be more from migrants and expats... I pray for more local conversions, for more missionaries to be sent to the smaller towns and cities so the true gspel is spread there too! And I pray still that God sends me, maybe to Leon again but either way He is moving, the knowledge of Him will indeed cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. God bless beautiful Espana and her people!

      Most people are catholic but only go to church to attend an occasional wedding. At the present time only 19% of Spanish people are practicing Catholics. The positive side of this is that people that go to church now a days, don’t do it to follow the rules but out of deep conviction

Is that salvation conditional, or are we saved once and for all? One Evangelical congregation would say yes, and another two streets away would say, "no".

    7:04 Totally false information, there were never 150,000 deaths during the Spanish Inquisition, These numbers are from accusations of heresy made by the people, with those executed representing only between 3000-5000 (according to modern historians) during its entire 300 years of existence throughout the Spanish Empire. The court was not concerned with Protestants as they had very little influence in Spain, they were judging people who claimed to be Catholic but were practicing heresies behind

    • @hyreonk
      @hyreonk День назад +3

      @@isaiah3872 There are lots of steps, but in brief, it went like this:
      1) Cameron Bertuzzi starts hosting debates between Catholicism and Protestantism. I didn't change my view, but I was thinking about the theology in a way I hadn't been forced to in my everyday life. He eventually converts, but I really don't get it and I'm not sympathetic.
      2) I was raised to think Catholics weren't Christian because they had a false gospel. The Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification (1999) helped put that objection to rest. So they're real Christians, and I can listen to them, even if there's nothing particularly drawing me to be one.
      3) I read a few other documents from earlychristianwritings. Nothing in particular stood out, except Ignatius. He simply sounds Catholic, and he's one generation removed from John!
      4) I realize that John 6 basically forces a literal reading because Jesus is turning away disciples who won't accept the eating and drinking of His blood. As a low-church Protestant, something has to change. I eventually realize that virtually all magisterial Christians accept the real presence, in one form or another; but I have some concerns about validity.
      5) There was a pattern of habitual sin that I had difficulty breaking, partially because I sought to justify myself with the argument: "where is that condemned in the Bible?" (This was an unforced error; one can be Protestant without justifying themselves in this way.) But the Catholic church's rich philosophy allowed me to realize not only that my sin was sin indeed, but just how severe it was. I immediately repented and felt closer to God than ever before. At this point I want to be Catholic, but I realize I've got plenty of homework before I can do so honestly. And I am open to being wrong, and perfectly happy to be Orthodox, Anglican, or a high church Methodist instead.
      6) I talk with my past pastor, current pastor, his assistant, other people in ministry, and multiple priests to get a better understanding of the issues. I also lay out my current theological beliefs, which turn out to be incompatible with any existing tradition; I'm insisting that the priesthood is necessary, that the Anglican priesthood is invalid, but that confession doesn't do much, and apostolic succession is clearly an accretion. What, am I supposed to make my own denomination?
      7) I conclude that the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano, as well as the apparitions of Fatima and Zeitoun, are among the most powerful evidence of miracles. These largely exclude the option that Catholics are just "one church among many," because they back its theology, not just its authority. They are either demonic, or their claims are true. But we already know they have the true gospel.
      8) I conclude that making my own denomination is schism. But then, where would that leave the original reformers? Even people I looked up to, like John Wesley, ended up - intentionally or not - breaking the body of Christ even further.
      9) I continue working through theological disagreements and find some passages in scripture that I can't imagine a Protestant answer to. But perhaps you can. Colossians 1:24; John 20:23; 1 John 5:16-17; Hebrews 6:2; Revelation 20:4; Revelation 5:8; Acts 16:33; James 5:14-15; Matthew 16:18.
      10) If schism and heresy are both sins, would God force us to choose between one or the other? So then the belief that "the gates of Hell will not prevail" against the church must be true in the strongest sense; there has to be a way for Christians to avoid schism *and* heresy. There must be an authority that settles heresies, without being capable of error as it does so. But wait - that's exactly what the ecclesial churches are claiming!
      11) I read the Deuterocanon and find nothing objectionable about it. I also have been reading the Catechism, and find that as I go through it, I find it less and less objectionable.
      12) While I don't put nearly as much time or thought into it - I decide receiving the Eucharist soon is more important than getting it right - I investigate the papacy in order to decide whether I will be Catholic or Orthodox. I am aware of the historical challenges to it, but conclude that if there is an ecclesial structure to the church, its canons clearly establish the Roman bishop as preeminent prior to the schism. That only leaves one option.
      13) I agree with three of the Marian dogmas; she is the Mother of God, Perpetual Virgin, and Immaculately Conceived. I merely assent to the Assumption into Heaven; I have more than enough evidence of the Church which defined it, and I'd better get used to having some things that I simply don't understand. I also better understand Mary's role in salvation; how could I know I was truly worshipping Jesus, and not merely venerating Him, unless I had a perfect creature as a yardstick to know the difference?
      14) I am confirmed Catholic. The experience of having the Eucharist is life changing.
      I know that's probably more information than you wanted, but I also feel it's a disservice to the long and winding path I took to get here. I didn't include many of the feelings I had or the prayers I made, or where I got my information.
      Thanks for asking!

    I am a methodist/pentecostal I have one main issue with this video and It’s this. Catholics are our brothers and sisters and instead of taking away from the Catholics we should encourage them to be better Catholics. Spain is largely Catholic for good logical reasoning it’s cultural and it helps them root back to there beginnings in the faith. The reason for protestant theology is because of the failure of the papacy and yes although Catholics have an incorrect theological interpretations and stances so do we…. I think the best option for the church in Spain is this, a reformed Catholic Church with focus on the power of the Holy Spirit and common prayers of the hours liturgy of the hours. Catholics should be encouraged to actively engage with there faith instead of making them all protestant.

      1.allow priest to be married in the Catholic Church
      2.allow non-Catholic nicene Christians to partake of the eucharist if they have repented of their sins
      3. Actually encourage people to do penance at least once a year
      4. Agape love don’t put on some religious mask and push people out just because they don’t understand Catholicism or God.
      5. Preach divinization and salvation more commonly.

    Amen brother! What an awesome film documenting this very important situation. I truly believe as well that the North of Africa will hear about Jesus and His real life-giving love and redemption through the Spanish evangelists. It's time to flip the switch on history and have Spain share the gospel in the 'right' way, by showing others peacefully that Jesus came to save every people group! All the best to the Pastor in this video. Dream BIG! For God is bigger than any dreams we could have.

    This shows that we should also pay attention to the countries we think are Christian countries and also Evangelize there too and not neglect else we would loose ground.

    Historians, such as Richard Henry Kamen, have proven thoroughly that the Spanish Inquisition actually did not deal with people who weren't Catholic, and they always gave a trial. On top of this, people preferred to deal with the Inquisition instead of the secular courts, because you had better odds with the Inquisition. Only 2% chance they will kill you, opposed to a much higher ratio of death penalties issued by the secular courts. Obviously, the Spanish Inquisition is not something that we should celebrate or praise, but at the time... it was progressive.

    Hey everyone! I’m so excited to see a series focused on Spain! As a Brazilian who lives in the UK for years now and frequently travels to Spain, I can confidently say that it’s one of my favorite countries. I truly hope the gospel continues to grow there and that people can genuinely convert to Christ.
    However, I want to respectfully disagree with the idea that Spaniards and Europeans need to send out more missionaries at this time. We're at a critical moment in Europe where we desperately need people to preach the true gospel of Christ-without sugarcoating it. We can't focus on outreach if our own communities are struggling.
    I believe the decline of the church in Europe stems from preachers not adequately addressing the questions that younger generations, especially those in their 30s, are grappling with. Many of these questions revolve around how science intersects with biblical teachings, as well as clarifying what sin is and the spiritual consequences it has on our lives. We also need to confront the reality of spiritual battles that are very much alive today.
    While sound doctrine from churches like Presbyterians, conservative Anglicans, and Baptists is essential, we also need congregations that are prepared to engage in spiritual warfare, such as Assemblies of God and other Bible-based charismatic churches. We require a relevant church that can meet the needs of a generation that is suffering and, due to their blindness, often can’t see the solutions available to them. If you are an American Christian missionary, Canadian, Latin American, Brazilian, Asian whatever, come to Europe. We need you!
    Much love, and thank you for consistently creating such amazing content!

    Overall enjoyed the video, but I feel with videos like this about Catholic countries, it may be helpful to address the role of the Catholic church today because it varies so dramatically across the globe. In some places, the Catholic church is preaching the gospel and making disciples, while in others ut seems to hold purely to ritualistic tradition.
    For example in this video, it feels like there was a skipped logical step, like it was assumed that Catholic automatically doesn't count as reached or disciples of Jesus. What is it like for religious Catholics in Spain? Is there an evangelical or charismatic Catholic presence there?

    "I only believe what I can see or prove." What about people who don't have records of their grandparents or great-grandparents? Do you not believe what your parents tell you about your grandparents. We aren't any smarter today than the people who came before us. We have had more time with things written down that we don't have to go back and re-invent the wheel. That means unless we can actually disprove previously known things, like their being a God, then we have no way to say that there is no God today when we have no proof of that. You have as much evidence as you have for the existence of yours or someones deceased great-grandfather who has no records to tell his story, but has his descendants to tell his story.

    The focus of this video is just wrong. Instead of being sad because people are not believers of Christ, you focus on evangelicalism, which is not natural to Spain. Catholicism is natural to the country, but if it doesn't work, its not because the faith is wrong, but because people don't care about religion. So people are not going to magically think religion is okay because a protestant evangelical comes preaching to them. You should encourage the natural religion to grow instead, or that people go to church, no matter which church. God loves everyone, not just evangelicals.

    John 14:5-21 KJV - Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
    6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
    7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
    8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
    9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
    10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
    11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
    12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
    13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
    14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
    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.
    19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
    20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
    21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

    Great video - love Spain beautiful country that is definitely in need of the gospel and solid biblical churches, we stayed on the Southern coast and that area was very difficult to find a biblical church, it’s Catholic roots are deep rooted and partly due to this the younger generation having fallen away from the religiosity, and I realised that they did not have the reformation that other parts of Europe did, we visited Valencia and it was similar, so encouraged to hear that in the metropolitan areas there maybe more solid churches being established to take the gospel into the highways and byways, as without a preacher how will they hear. It’s not the only European company though in a bad state but it definitely gave me a sense that it was a bit desolate. Heart Cry Ministries have done a good job of establishing some local missionaries in European countries (Germany etc)

    And the Bible says, the Jews first - Antichrist will soon be on the Stage, in Jerusalem- so the Israeli's need to hear the Gospel! they are almost ready for a big harvest, send there our brothers and Sisters, Dear Pastor from Spain (:
    Jews, Muslim, Secular, Druze, Beduins--- especcially when you are a Arab believer of Christ- or a Messianic Jew- then i don't want to miss, to say with real honest: Please, go to Israel- and spread the Gospel

    6:43 This topic is mainly made off stereotipes, The inquisition always warned those who were going to be judged in advance and these "tortures" were almost never necessary, the false converts were simply expelled.
    7:00 Black legend nonsense, the lutherans killed a lot more and catholics were persecuted too, the fact that Spain had an institution like the TDSI means that they were well organised
