I have been studying early Church history this last while back trying to find out what happened within the Church after the demise of the Apostles up to the time that Christianity was adopted by Constantine for the Roman Empire around 323AD. You have done a great job here and gave me a structure to hang the information I have already got and hope to expand on. I must say that I'm coming from the position that the Apostles were prophets and received revelation. I also believe other Church leaders would have been entitle to revelation within their realm of responsibility and calling. After all, each received the gift of the Holy Ghost at baptism and one of the roles of the Holy Ghost is to teach and to testify of truth. Given what was said at Mars Hill, Colossians 2:8 and Acts 20:29-30, I doubt that the Church that Jesus established existed much longer after Paul died, assuming he was the last Apostle to die or at least one of the last. I will research all of those men you mention as I have already done with some that you did to help me get a greater insight into what went on. Thanks again.

@@mitchellosmer1293 I must have written this in the middle of the night. I don't sleep well. Paul was the most active of the Apostles, given his journeys and his letters to the various churches and one of the last to die around 68AD. He had an encounter with Epicurean pagan philosophers at Mars Hill, piqueing their interfering interest as per verse 32 of chapter 17 of Acts. Paul went on to warn the Collosians at 2:8 to beware of vain philosophy. He also met with a group from Ephesus near the end of his life, prophesying that when he was gone(dead) that greivous wolves would enter in not sparing the flock. I am interested in information about how quickly these 'wolves' were able to get control of the Church and the influence they had over it. Thanks for correcting my laziness but I would appreciate it if you could point me to the information I am looking for if you know of any, thanking you in advance.

I consider them to be the Catholic Popes.--Along with Emporer Constatine ----CODEX 16.8.20 The same Augustuses (Honorius and Theodosius) to Johannes, Praetorian Prefect. If it should appear that any places are frequented by conventicles of the Jews and are called by the name of synagogues, no one shall dare to violate or to occupy and retain such places, since all persons must retain their own property in undisturbed right, with-out any claim of religion or worship. 1. Moreover, since indeed ancient custom and practice have pre-served for the aforesaid Jewish people the consecrated day of the Sabbath, We also decree that it shall be forbidden that any man of the aforesaid faith should be constrained by any summons on that day, under the pre-text of public or private business, since all the remaining time appears sufficient to satisfy the public laws, and since it is most worthy of the moderation of Our time that the privileges granted should not be violated although sufficient pro-vision appears to have been made with reference to the afore-said matter by general constitutions of earlier Emperors.* (July 26, 412). (Pharr, 469) * This law made a reference to earlier “constitutions” (plural) made by other Emperors (plural). At the very least this refers to the decrees of Augustus, Claudius, and perhaps even Constantine. There may have been others which are now lost. This law and the statement which concludes it is further proof that Constantine continued to provide protections for Sabbath observance. The Latin from the opening sentence of 16.8.20, section 1 reads: “At cum vero iudaeorum memorato populo sacratum diem sab-bati vetus mos et consuetudo servaverit…” The Latin word translated as ‘ancient’ is vetus, and it means for-mer, long-standing, old, aged, or ancient. These Roman rulers recognized that the Jewish people honored the Sabbath from an-cient times. They described the Sabbath using the Latin word ‘sacratum’, which refers to that which is sacred. It refers to some-thing that is intrinsically set apart for religious purposes. The Ro-man peoples began to identify the Biblical Sabbath with the Latin word sacra as early as the first century BC (see Pompeius Trogus, Epitome, 36.2.14; Tibullus, Elegies, 1.3.17-18; Ovid, The Art of Love, 1:3, 1:11 and The Cure for Love, part 3). --------Codex Justinianeus The Code of Justinian was composed in the 520s/530s AD under the reign of the Roman Emperor Justinian. In it, we find CT 16.8.20 repeated as 1.9.13, which means that he allowed the same protections as earlier Emperors. The Sabbath was protected by Roman rulers as early as Julius Caesar. This custom was retained by most other Emperors until at least Justinian. While these laws specifically grant privileges to Jewish people, these same laws would have been extended to Christians as well. As discussed earlier, a vast majority of Christians still honored the Sabbath into the fifth century AD. Eusebius’ comment above about Constantine would also agree with this conclusion, as dis-cussed in Appendix B. Since the second century AD, many teach-ers in the Roman Church labeled the Sabbath a Jewish institution and attempted to lump Sabbath keeping Christians and Jews to-gether. Even groups, such as Arians, that were known to have Sabbath keeping tendencies also were put in the same view as Jewish people.* ----Chapter 2 Sunday Laws (Part 1 of 2) As reviewed in the last chapter, the Roman Empire protected Sab-bath observance. On the other hand, the idea of making Sunday a protected day of rest was a nuanced idea. The first Sunday civil rest law in history was passed in 321 AD by Constantine. The idea that he passed this law to promote Christianity is far from accurate. Constantine was definitely en-thralled by sun worship. The language in the law supports this as the chief reason for the law being passed. One other detail to keep in mind is that Sunday was the second day of the week in the original pagan planetary week. It was not recognized as the first day of the week by Roman law until the 400s AD, which occurred after much influence from the Roman Catholic Church. -(yet the Holy Bible clearly states Christ rose on the First day of the week, which most call Easter Sunday) ------Codex Justinius 3.12.3 (some list as 3.12.2) The Emperor Constantius “All Judges and city people and the craftsmen shall rest upon the venerable Day of the Sun. Country people, however, may freely attend to the cultivation of the fields, because it frequently hap-pens that no other days are better adapted for planting the grain in the furrows or the vines in trenches. So that the advantage given by heavenly providence may not for the occasion of a short time perish. 321 AD.” (quoted from Ayers, 284-285) The first Sunday law in history was passed by Constantine. In the Latin manuscript of this law, the phrase translated as “venerable day of the sun” is venerabilis dies solis. Constantine’s decree was based upon honoring and esteeming the celestial body we call the sun. The decree did not honor the Hebrew God or Jesus Christ. Notice that no worship is mentioned; it simply declared a civil day of rest. This law was not designed to mirror the Biblical Sabbath. Notice that farmers were not allowed to take off work on the day. The God of the Holy Bible gave us the Sabbath (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset) as the weekly day of rest for all people, regardless of their occupation. This command extends to farmers in their slow and busy seasons (Ex. 34:21). Constantine held the title pontifex maximus. This was an ancient pagan Roman title that allowed him to control the religious calen-dar of the Empire. He commonly struck coins with images of Sol Invictus (the invincible sun god) and Jupiter. Sunday was a day commonly honored by worshippers of Mithras (Encyclopedia Britannica “Mithras”). The day after his first Sun-day law, he re-ceived a law allowing the pagan soothsayers to enter buildings where lightning had struck (CT: 16.10.1). This decree upheld the ancient Roman custom where a ceremony was used to determine which god or goddess was angry and how to pacify him/her. In other words, while Constantine did show favor to Christians, he also continued to honor paganism. In this way, he utilized the title pontifex maximus.
Theologians grant doctorates to eachother based on nothing whatsoever. How can anyone want to be a Christian? It is obvious to the sane, there is no god, no Jesus Christ, no prophesy, outside of fiction. Christian meat comes from butchering the context of words & a sublime tourism resource. Can there be any moral justification for the Christian? It is obvious to the sane, there is no god, no Jesus Christ, no prophesy, outside of fiction. Christians gain for themselves by butchering the context of words. I'm sure, if everyone is not aware of the alleged deity, the god title is a bit fudged, & does not fit. Dear Christian Uploader, my god, have you any sense of decency? Christian invocations call into existence evil as good; they are wolves in sheep's clothing. We know a tree by the fruit. We know them by their works. Thank God secular law & order finally stopped the witch killings. I can only imagine if a deity desired my awareness of it, I would probably be aware & if not, then why call deity other than fiction? Christians embarrass & insult us with this barrage of nonsense, retreating into caves like this channel to refuel. You encourage people to travel as if best done with one foot in fantasyland. Theologians grant each other doctorates based on nothing whatsoever. Christians are fascists, rendering to Caesar what is his, exercising freedom of speech with abuse. The naked ape is a vein species, Christians want to own the narrative, claiming knowledge of a supreme being, which is never verified beyond a tool of fiction. Christians insult intelligence in public, suggesting we navigate reality with one foot one foot in literary fiction & state propaganda. Christians authorize themselves to weigh-in on whatnot as if Earth had gravity-free zones, & everyone knows it. We inherit their vast bulk of our oldest documents, the records of looting & torture: inquisitions. Christians are hypocrites with productions like this, making a scene of praying in the temple. Christians are the lowlifes in society, avoided like the insane pretending to talk to an invisible friend, holding a hairdryer in place of a phone. Christians manufacture ultimate vanity, proclaiming we are all gods, children of the highest god. When the contradictions of the economic system catch up to it, the politicians intone the same notions, because they don't know what to do. Democracy is a cult-like faith where many actually believe giving power to others always has consequence which can be tolerably managed by the managers. The models for Limits to Growth of 1973 were accurate. The state has no plans, so the only difference between a Republican & a Democrat is how fast the knee hits the floor when a donor walks in the room & SCOTUS produces stench. What is really funny, is these Christian delusions support videos. Christians ignore they are rejects, politely avoided like the old lady with 400 pet cats. Christians don't comprehend the parody being played, the guy making a scene of prayer in the temple. Christians are largely given a pass for suggestions we navigate with a map of fantasyland. Christians present evil as good, the wolves in sheep's clothing. Christians authorize themselves to weigh-in on whatnot as if Earth had gravity-free zones, and everyone knows it. That is why Alex Jones puts Jesus-lingo in the sales delivery.
Outstanding. Fleshes out the bare bones of what even the above average curious person knows to date about the apostolic succession, the councils and creeds and earliest theologians starting with Paul, and dissemination of the Word
I have spent time researching Church history; time consuming as much as it is rewarding. Very significant when one can get past names, dates, places and into causes, reactions, and impact. May the Lord bless your effort.
Then u must herd the story about Mary Magdalene getting dp'd by pagananitys Jesus and Peter ....n the resurrection happened she gave him a BJ to the lifeless body of hes
What it doesn't say is that the 5 bishops of Rome (popes) for the first century, were Jews, practicing Judaism, and in the first 2 centuries, everybody was practicing Judaism and the only scriptures accepted were the Old Testament, and that was the only teaching, so until the third century it was created the Christianity as a different religion. And during the first century everybody was observing Saturday and not Sunday. It was until the Jews in Jerusalem rebel against Rome that Gentiles decided to create a different religion. It is documented, we were all Jews in the first 2 centuries.
@@tomasdale5306 please read the book of Acts. Paul established a flourishing Gentile church and a movement known as The Way. The majority were not Jews. But they followed the Jewish messiah. And this was in the 1st century.
@@janetpearson3024 What I find most interesting is that the Gospel we know today as the Christian Gospel, especially in the Protestant churches, comes mostly from Paul, not from Jesus and coming from Paul, his gospel came, not from the earthly teachings of Jesus of Nazareth but from the Being of Light Paul encountered in the many visions and revelations he alludes to in his writings. In other words, today's Christianity is based on Paul's mysticism. Most people are like me, I had read those passages hundreds of time without noticing their real meaning.
@@tomasdale5306 Nothing shows those 5 Popes practicing Judaism. Please stop posting nonsense on here. The writings which would make up the New Testament would be read. The final canon of both Old and New Testaments wasn't finalized until 382 and the Septuagint varies from the Jewish canon. During the first century the Christian's would gather on the Lord's Day(Sunday). Christianity IS the completion of Judaism and has nothing to do with any rebellion against Rome which would happen numerous times before and after the split. Scripture such as Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2, Colossians 2:16-17, and Revelation 1:10 indicate that, even during New Testament times, the Sabbath is no longer binding and that Christians are to worship on the Lord’s day, Sunday, instead. The early Church Fathers compared the observance of the Sabbath to the observance of the rite of circumcision, and from that they demonstrated that if the apostles abolished circumcision (Gal. 5:1-6), so also the observance of the Sabbath must have been abolished. The Didache “But every Lord’s day . . . gather yourselves together and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure. But let no one that is at variance with his fellow come together with you, until they be reconciled, that your sacrifice may not be profaned” (Didache 14 [A.D. 70]). The Letter of Barnabas “We keep the eighth day [Sunday] with joyfulness, the day also on which Jesus rose again from the dead” (Letter of Barnabas 15:6-8 [A.D. 74]). St. Ignatius of Antioch(a student of apostles Peter and John) “[T]hose who were brought up in the ancient order of things [i.e. Jews] have come to the possession of a new hope, no longer observing the Sabbath, but living in the observance of the Lord’s day, on which also our life has sprung up again by him and by his death” (Letter to the Magnesians 8 [A.D. 110]). St. Justin Martyr “But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead” (First Apology 67 [A.D. 155]). The Didascalia “The apostles further appointed: On the first day of the week let there be service, and the reading of the holy scriptures, and the oblation [sacrifice of the Mass], because on the first day of the week [i.e., Sunday] our Lord rose from the place of the dead, and on the first day of the week he arose upon the world, and on the first day of the week he ascended up to heaven, and on the first day of the week he will appear at last with the angels of heaven” (Didascalia 2 [A.D. 225]). Origen “Hence it is not possible that the [day of] rest after the Sabbath should have come into existence from the seventh [day] of our God. On the contrary, it is our Savior who, after the pattern of his own rest, caused us to be made in the likeness of his death, and hence also of his resurrection” (Commentary on John 2:28 [A.D. 229]).
It's great to connect the apostles with those who heard them and wrote more down. It helps show Christ was actually here, and why we believe and do what we do
If you died tonight are you 100% sure you'd go to heaven? God loves you, and Jesus Christ lived a perfect/sinless life for you, died on the cross for your sin. And mine, and rose again the third day, victorious over death, hell, and the grave. We must believe this and acknowledge the fact that we are sinners in need of a savior. If you ask God to forgive you, and come into your heart and save you, (with a humble and contrite heart, with a repentant heart..the fact that you now see your sin as an offense to God..and you are sorry for your sin, and you want to live a life pleasing to him..but you know that on your own power you can't) he will. If this is the condition of your heart, and you have a sincere desire to trust him and receive his free gift of salvation..He will save you from eternity in hell and give you a relationship with him. You can be born again! Romans 10:13 for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 3:10 as it is written, there is none righteous no not one. Romans 6:23 for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (That one may not be exact word for word but it is exact in principle) Romans 5:8-9-but God commendeth (proves, shows) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more than, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. In John 3, the Bible explains that if you have not been born again the wrath of God already abides on you. The only thing you have to do is go to hell, is nothing because until you receive Jesus Christ as your personal savior, you're already headed there my friend. I say this not to be mean, but out of love because I don't want to see you go to hell for rejecting Jesus Christ. Romans 3:28 says therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. That means we cannot work our way to heaven, we cannot get baptized to go to heaven, we cannot give money to the church or the pope to go to heaven.. it is only by trusting completely in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Faith in his shed blood! Faith in the fact that he rose again from the grave victorious over hell, death, and the grave. Romans 4:24-51 -if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; who was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. You see, we are not all children of God automatically. You have to want to be, and you have to put your faith in what God says about who Jesus Christ is, and what he has done for you. We cannot have peace with God unless we trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ, and who he is as a person. The Bible says that he is God. Emmanuel =God with Us. Romans 3:22 even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe. When you trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior, (get saved by grace which is God's unmerited favor, by faith) You are justified. That's a legal term which means his righteousness is transferred to you. Your sin has been transferred to him but in order for you to receive his righteousness it takes faith. Romans 2:4 or despises thou The riches of his goodness and the forbearance and long-suffering; not knowing that the goodness of God lead a thee to repentance. God's goodness allows you to see your sin through God's eyes, as you acknowledge the fact that you are a sinner and headed to hell, you will see that your sin is disgusting to God. We are an offense to God. We deserve hell all of us. This is a sobering thought, and the grace of God allows us to realize this, and gives us the right view of our sin, and the right attitude about our sin. We cannot be good on our own power we can't go to heaven on our own power, we can't turn from our sin on our own power and earn favor with God, we must ask him to forgive us and save us cuz there's nothing we can do on our own to earn favor with him. Ephesians 2: 8,9 paraphrased- we are saved by grace through faith, it is a gift and not of works, so nobody can boast about it. Will you receive God's free gift of salvation? Or will you reject God's gift to you? He died for the whole world but we must all personally make a decision to receive him. Not making a decision to receive him is in fact rejecting him. The Bible tells us that we are with him or against him there is no in between. If you believe all of this with your whole heart and you are convicted of your sin.. pray this prayer. Heavenly father, I know that I'm a sinner and I need your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross, and shed his blood for my sin. Help me to turn from my sin and please you, but I can't but by your grace. Please come into my heart and save me. Help me follow you with my whole heart.. I can do nothing without you please help me and save me. In Jesus name amen. If your heart condition is right to be saved, you will have no problem with praying that prayer and will do it gladly. If you have any questions feel free to ask. God says that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved... If God convicted your heart and you experienced godly sorrow about your sin, if you wholeheartedly trust in Jesus Christ alone to save you, then you are saved / eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says in 1st Peter 1 that we are kept by the power of God. Salvation is God's to give us. Not ours.. it's not ours to lose or walk away from. In John 10 the Bible explains that we are held in both the hands of Jesus Christ and the father and that no man can pluck us out. In John 6 Jesus Christ says whoever comes to him he will in no wise cast out (he will under no circumstances reject them). If your heart matches your head.. and you didn't give the Lord Jesus Christ lip service.. then you can rejoice because you are saved and eternally secure. Welcome to the family of God. You can be a disobedient child, or an obedient child. God is such a good Father, and wants to talk to us daily through the Bible and he wants to hear what we have to say through prayer. Hebrews 11:6 (speaking of God). But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek them.

Does it not bother you that there was no unity between these 'church fathers' and almost after 500 years they couldn't agree on the nature of Jesus Christ? Does it not seem that each of these men came up with their own idea, their own philosophical theory and defended it at all costs, using subterfuge and compromise at time? It seems that they didn't so much care for the truth as they did for their own egos. Was this the Church Jesus established?
Wow. Thank you. It's amazing how much time can be spent on dividing ourselves over things that are not as important as living a life in peace with our neighbors and family with Christ's teachings.

@@ibrahimghibihisab4502 "I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him." (Deuteronomy 18:18-19) Is Muhammad the prophet that God promised in this passage? The verses that immediate follow the above verses read: "But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.’ And if you say in your heart, ‘How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?’ - when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him." (Deuteronomy 18:20-22) A prophet of God is the mouthpiece of God, who is perfect and never wrong. Therefore, when someone claims to be speaking as instructed by God and then makes a false statement, that person "has spoken presumptuously" and is not God's prophet. Did Muhammad make any such false statement? When Muhammad conquered the pagan Mecca, it worshipped three hundred and sixty idols. The four most important among them were the moon god, "Sin," also known as "Hubal," also known as "Allah," and his three daughters: Al-Lat, Al-Uzza and Al-Manat. Muhammad's attempt to impose monotheism by keeping just Allah and getting rid of the other three hundred and fifty-nine Meccan idols faced resistance from the Meccans, who held Allah's three daughter idols very dear. Eager to be accepted as a prophet in his native Mecca, Muhammad initially conceded that Allah approved of Al-Lat, Al-Uzza and Al-Manat. But unable to reconcile three extra goddesses with his declared monotheism, Muhammad later reversed himself, confessing, "I have fabricated things against Allah and have imputed to him words which he has not spoken." (Al Tabari, The History of Al-Tabari, vol. 6, p.111) and said he had mistaken the words of "Satan" (Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasul Allah, pp.165-166) as Allah's. Given Allah's true identity, the words of Allah and Satan would not be hard to confuse. Had Muhammad claimed to be a prophet of the God of the Bible, however, someone who hears from Satan, mistakes Satan's words as God's and fabricates "things against" God is a false prophet whom God said above, "shall die."

The so-called Christian nations are the most enlightened and progressive...but in spite of their religion, not because of it. The Church has opposed every innovation and discovery from the day of Galileo down to our own time, when the use of anesthetic in childbirth was regarded as a sin because it avoided the biblical curse pronounced against Eve. And every step in astronomy and geology ever taken has been opposed by bigotry and superstition. The Greeks surpassed us in artistic culture and in architecture five hundred years before Christian religion was born. - Mark Twain, a Biography
Till 325 AD, not a single historian or writer wrote about Jesus Christ or any of his disciples . BEFORE THE FIRST COUNCIL OF NICEA IN 325 AD, NOBODY ON THIS PLANET EVER HEARD OF THE NAMES JESUS CHRIST OR CHRISTIANITY. JESUS/ BIBLE / CHRISTIANTY WAS COOKED UP IN 325 AD, BY JEWESS HELENA , WHO SAT ON THE POPE'S CHAIR.. "Vatican is Evil terrorist satanic organisation." If Satan does exist, then he thrives inside the Roman Catholic Church. The dead sea scrolls covering the period from Birth of Jesus to 68 AD , does NOT say one word about Jesus or his 12 Apostles. Hellenistic philosopher Philo Judaeus of Alexandria (20 BCE-50 AD/CE)-alive at the purported time of Jesus, and one of the wealthiest and best connected citizens of the Empire- makes no mention of Christ, Christians or Christianity in his voluminous writings. Nor do any of the hundreds of other historians and writers who flourished during the first THREE centuries of the common era. The DEAD SEA SCROLLS were all written by Pagan Essenes . None of them have been edited by later Christians, as is the case with some other Jewish literature. All the scrolls (except a treasure map known as the Copper Scroll) can be dated prior to A.D. 68 or 69, when the Qumran settlement was believed to have been destroyed by the Romans in the Jewish revolt. The oldest of the scrolls probably goes back to the middle of the third century B.C. The people of Qumran belonged to a Pagan religious group known as the Essenes. Pliny the Elder, who died during the volcanic destruction of Pompeii in the year 79 A.D., described a community of pagan Essenes living on the western shore of the Dead Sea, close to where Khirbet Qumran is situated. John the Baptist was an ascetic Essene . He was a vegan and was uncircumcised . Various literary sources like Josephus and Philo tell clearly that Essenes were ascetics. We also know, from literary testimony, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the archaeological remains of Qumran, that the Essenes practiced many water baptisms for ritual purification-similar to a dip in the Ganges or the river Pampa or at Thiirunelli. At Qumran, however, all members of the community were baptized with water for ritual purification. Josephus writes, "And as for their piety towards God, it is very extraordinary; for before sunrising they speak not a word about profane matters, but put up certain prayers which they have received from their forefathers, as if they made a supplication for its rising" (Wars, 2.8.5). This testimony accords well with what we know from the Dead Sea Scrolls. Prayer and humility was one thing that the Essenes . When they cooked up stories about Jesus they wrote that Jesus Christ ate the Last Supper in the Essene part of town. Jesus is not historical character, The Dead Sea Scrolls have produced increasing evidence to cement the fact that Jesus Christ never existed and the whole story was cooked up at the First Council of Nicea in 325 AD. The FAKE gospels were written after 325 AD after Jesus was cooked up at the first Council of Nicea.. Twelve apostles of Jesus never existed. Jesus Christ names 12 apostles to spread his gospel, and the early Christian church owes its rapid rise to their missionary zeal. Yet, for most of the Twelve, there's scant evidence of their existence outside of the New Testament. The concept of using statistics to prove that 'God authored the Bible' is bullshit. Why was the library of Alexandria burnt ? The gospel of Thomas was not written by Jesus' disciple Thomas. Englishman Godfrey Higgins studied Greek, Latin and law at Cambridge . His two-volume, 867-page book Anacalypsis: An Enquiry into the Origins of Languages, Nations, and Religions, was published posthumously in 1836.
The first seven Ecumenical Councils were held in the East. The East was oriented to philosophical speculation that is why it was prone to heresy. However, the same philosophical orientation helped in defining the theological terms of the controversies, such as the homoosious, hypostatic union, and the distinction between nature and person in the Holy Trinity and in Jesus Christ.
How about renaming Roman false gods like Zeus and Jupiter as Paul and Peter. How about taking Semiramis (Diana) and Baby Tammuz statues and renaming them Mary and "Baby" Jesus? No heresy here, just move along...
I love Theology in everything by exemplary faith and pointing towards Jesus Christ church in whatever you do and wherever you are, you can begin to discover that purpose of GØD in everything you make a commitment of steady, regular life time in words comes to find itself on the inside of you⛪️☦️⛪️
Very informative creative good video on the difficult subject of early church history. The voice is very clear and the English is not too deep. Thank you all for Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. God bless your ministry of upbuilding the church in the right path.
How Jesus Love you.. I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children." (Leviticus 26:22) "Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourself every girl who has never slept with a man." (Numbers 31:17-18) "The Lord commands: ".. slay old men outright, young men and maidens, little children and women" (zechial 9:4-6) "When the Lord delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the males As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves." (Deuteronomy 20:13-14) "You will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you." (Deuteronomy 28:53) "The Lord said to Joshua [..] 'you are to hamstring their horses." " (Exceedingly cruel.) (Joshua 11:6) 'The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their women with child ripped open." (Hosea 13:16) Christianity is Religion of Love?
The so-called Christian nations are the most enlightened and progressive...but in spite of their religion, not because of it. The Church has opposed every innovation and discovery from the day of Galileo down to our own time, when the use of anesthetic in childbirth was regarded as a sin because it avoided the biblical curse pronounced against Eve. And every step in astronomy and geology ever taken has been opposed by bigotry and superstition. The Greeks surpassed us in artistic culture and in architecture five hundred years before Christian religion was born. - Mark Twain, a Biography
Till 325 AD, not a single historian or writer wrote about Jesus Christ or any of his disciples . BEFORE THE FIRST COUNCIL OF NICEA IN 325 AD, NOBODY ON THIS PLANET EVER HEARD OF THE NAMES JESUS CHRIST OR CHRISTIANITY. JESUS/ BIBLE / CHRISTIANTY WAS COOKED UP IN 325 AD, BY JEWESS HELENA , WHO SAT ON THE POPE'S CHAIR.. "Vatican is Evil terrorist satanic organisation." If Satan does exist, then he thrives inside the Roman Catholic Church. The dead sea scrolls covering the period from Birth of Jesus to 68 AD , does NOT say one word about Jesus or his 12 Apostles. Hellenistic philosopher Philo Judaeus of Alexandria (20 BCE-50 AD/CE)-alive at the purported time of Jesus, and one of the wealthiest and best connected citizens of the Empire- makes no mention of Christ, Christians or Christianity in his voluminous writings. Nor do any of the hundreds of other historians and writers who flourished during the first THREE centuries of the common era. The DEAD SEA SCROLLS were all written by Pagan Essenes . None of them have been edited by later Christians, as is the case with some other Jewish literature. All the scrolls (except a treasure map known as the Copper Scroll) can be dated prior to A.D. 68 or 69, when the Qumran settlement was believed to have been destroyed by the Romans in the Jewish revolt. The oldest of the scrolls probably goes back to the middle of the third century B.C. The people of Qumran belonged to a Pagan religious group known as the Essenes. Pliny the Elder, who died during the volcanic destruction of Pompeii in the year 79 A.D., described a community of pagan Essenes living on the western shore of the Dead Sea, close to where Khirbet Qumran is situated.

@john osumba They believe in transubstantiation and they pray to Mary and believe she is an intermediary, when the bible explicitly says, Jesus is the only intermediary to God, that's the few of many heresies in the catholic church
Greetings Sir / Madam ... thanks indeed and congratulations for this great and hard work of yours and in researching all these good and beautiful materials to boost our spiritual life in God. I am heartily grateful for your in depth knowlege that shared to us .... which helps us greatly to grow & mature in time our faith in the true God. I owed a lot to you for being part of this internal, human and spiritual journey in my life of faith. Good day. God Bless. Take care and keep safe. Yours truly: Viewer from the Philippines, Southeast Asia.
My protestant friends celebrate FATHER'S DAY and greeting their own fathers, grandfathers, Godfather, step-fathers, father-in-law, and etc. a happy father's day 😊
@@danielarredondo6986 reading the bible must be in accordance with the context my brother, read from the first verse to the end so that we don't take the meaning astray. Jesus forbade anyone to call anyone father on earth to warn the people: 1) that there is only one we can think of as God the Father, the source of all fathers on earth; 2) that we may not be like the scribes and Pharisees who love to be respected and called as rabbis and fathers by all.[1] But Jesus didn't mean to forbid everyone from calling "father" to someone who really is their father. For in other passages, Jesus refers to parents as father and mother (cf. Matt. 10:35; 19:29). If Jesus really forbade it, then He couldn't have called this calling himself. Abraham is called the 'father of Abraham' our forefathers (Luke 16:24, Acts 7:2; Rom 4:1, James 2:21), and the Apostle Paul refers to himself as the father of the people in Corinth (1Co 4:15) and father of the people of Corinth. spiritual for Timothy (1Ti 1:2, 2 Tim 1:2), and for Titus (Titus 1:4). The Apostle John also preached to the fathers (1 John 2:14). Sorry for bad English
@@ibrahimghibihisab4502 Greetings sir. Maybe you dont believed Him. Why do you say so ...? there are concrete evidences of His death and resurrection. What are your basis of saying so ...? Believe Him ...and doubt no more, because He is the only true God and there is no other beside Him.
Thanks for your sharing and acknowledging the journey of continuation of the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ until now. As the word of Jesus Christ after the resurrection, I will be with you always until the end.
@@TheologyAcademy Thanks for all these wonderful expositions. I am looking forward to see if I can always refresh my knowledge with this video. God bless you.
Amazing the horrors this video left out unmentioned. Christianity is, hands down, the worst thing to ever happen to humanity. Sexual perversion, gluttony, murder and cannabalism, for starters.
Just know that history never supports that Peter was a pope. History dictates that Rome was originally run by a group of Elders. Therefore the statement that the Pope has always existed is untrue as you also look at the council of Nicaea
After worshipping and thanking our Lord profusely on earth and when I get to heaven, I look forward to hearing how so many people had different ideas regarding all the earliest manuscripts from those who lived it to those in theological academia of the time to disagree so much with each other trying to change it. Could it be today with the technology and internet that getting back to the original books of the Bible tells now the whole story accurately?
Grateful to u for compiling all this information and for this good presentation. Man is trying to comprehend that they cannot and fighting for that which has no added value when following Jesus.
life long history of the Catholic church.... 💖 whose foundation so strong for God guided the formation of a true faith in Christ Jesus being human and divine. 💖 💖 💖
its not the history of the present day Catholic church ,, here catholic means World wide common and one true appostolic churches which included all orthdox churches .,that is the mother church before the great schism and papal dominance ..
Catholic church has lost the Holy Spirit, and has become a harlot whore, and Babylon described in John's Revelation. Pope is a false prophet who dared to change times, and Holy God's Comandments.
@@johnm3685 The word orthodox came in the fourth century the word Catholic was spoken by St. Ignatius in 95 AD, is St. Ignatius who was ordained bishop by St. Peter himself wrong.
@@ricky9751 There’s no picking up where it left off, the Church with primacy is the Roman Catholic Church there’s no substitute, ever till the end of time she is here to stay the The Gates of Hell will not prevail against it, time to time people will fall into heresy but not the Church her teachings remain the same since 33 AD.
Veracity aside, this concise narrative does a good job of naming names, dates, and locations involved with the formation of the early Church. I've never seen these different pieces put together so tidily.
@@kevinnickel7529 Acts is the establishment of the Church. It outlines how to get saved and how to stay saved. It outlines what a Christian should expect to experience in a Church blessed by God and where everyone has the Holy Spirit. If you need to know how to build a Church, the Book of Acts gives you everything you require! "non denominational protestant?" Wrong. Christian
@@brucedavenport7016so how did they ever manage before Acts was written? Not all of Christ's and the Apostels teachings were written (as indicated in scripture).
@@tlcetc4506 Define "manage". The Church can survive and grow today without the written word of God, if that became necessary. God proves himself to believers in an indisputable personal manner. The same yesterday, today and forever.
AMAZING material!!!! Extraordinary!!! Wow I have been searching for this kind of materials for ages !!! God bless you!! With deep gratitude from a Romanian orthodox
Theology Academy is great blessing Christians wanting a much broader perspective and understanding of our Christian faith and heritage. Along with the Bible Project you have really opened up the importance of shifting our paradigm and gaining a much broader understanding of how these early first followers of Christ would have been hearing our Lord especially from an eastern perspective and ultimately how the early Church spread throughout the mediterranean regions. Regardless of if you are Orthodox, Catholic, or one of the many denominations of Protestantism. This History of the Church (1st-5th Century) has been great. I am listening to the Catholic Brothers "First 500 Years" Series Podcast on RUclips and that has been incredible paired along with your documentary. It really gives insight to what we would have possibly been seeing on the ground in that period and the impact it would have had on the formation of the early Church. Leaving us all to answer the question....does my church even remotely resemble the early church and if not. Why? Awesome contribution the our Christian faith!!!
@@33ketamine33 catholic church is 100% the Church Jesus started. It is HISTORICAL FACT. "Roman" is the name of the "west" part (latin world) of the Catholic church. "Orthodox" the east part of the Catholic church. Roman Catholic church is not s new brand or new church..."Roman" Catholic simply means: the west part of the Catholic church...only brain dead protestant heretics which ignore the church history can think 'roman catholic' is a new thing. we have bishops lists from the apostles to any of our bishops today. you have nothing.... you follow man made sects..
It's important to clarify the "tongues" on the day of Pentecost. Acts 2 clearly states that the disciples were speaking in known languages as a proclamation of the Gospel to the many pilgrims visiting Jerusalem. Whether you believe in a private prayer language (referenced in 1 Corinthians) is another matter.
Wow…that made my brain hurt! So many “intellectual” men all disagreeing with one another and yet Jesus said except we become as a child we shall not enter the kingdom of God. We’re they even filled with the Holy Spirit? I’m glad my relationship with Jesus is not this complicated…yikes😮
Yeah, whatever you do don't read the Bible cover to cover (like I have). You'll then know that for every Bible platitude, there's another quote from the same book that at least seems to contradict that. (For example, the Bible also tells you that when you become an adult, you should put away childhood things: i.e. stop being like a child and grow up.) Actually, yeah, I advise you don't read any of the Bible for yourself. Let your local priest/pastor cherry-pick "the good bits" for you.
Thank you for this wonderful video. My love of Church History is not so much based on the Counsels, but on those individuals who for the love of Christ and His Church, laid down their lives or endured hardships to evangelize or were given the gift of miracles to care for others and point to Christ. I guess the stories of the saints through the centuries who I hope to meet when we get to Heaven moves my heart. The Holy Spirit & Jesus, I think, would like His Friends' names and sacrifices to be known. Blessed be God in His angels and His saints. GBY!
I'm just into the video and the talk is about the day of Pentecost. The narrator says that the Holy Ghost filled the disciples of Jesus and they spoke 'in tongues'. The account of this incident has been somewhat twisted by those who wrest the scriptures. What the disciples didn't do was speak in a language that sounded gibberish but they spoke with 'other tounges' that could be understood by those devout Jews, dwelling at Jerusalem at that time, 'out of every nation under heaven'. Obviously, that was to allow the Gospel to spread and not for tricks in church.
@@allendiaz1602Well, obviously 'tongues included Heavenly tongues. Angels don't necessarily speak English, for example, they speak the language of Heaven. However, tongues are not given to be used as some sort of authority from God. Speaking in a different tongue is used to communicate with a person who speaks the language being communicated. To speak the tongue of angels is to speak to them in their language. To teach a Polish person the Gospel, it is more effective speaking to them in their tongue. The gift of tongues is given to Missionaries who have to communicate the Gospel in the person's native tongue. What tongues isn't, is for someone to blurt a lot of word sounds to an audience that doesn't understand the 'language' spoken. We may receive the Gift of tongues if we ever have to speak with angels. However, someone claiming to speak the tongues of angels, when there are no angels present, may be speaking the words of satan.
After watching all of this video as a Christian of what ever denomination, does it leave you feeling that from the demise of the Apostles, those who were able to speak in the name of God, it was the ideas that individual men held in their minds that shaped the Church, that revelation had ceased, and there was anything but unity? I ask myself how this could be the Church of Jesus Christ? They were not fighting over the nature of Jesus Christ at the time of the Apostles. In fact, Paul, in virtually all of his letters, was constantly warning the Church about false doctrine and vain philosophies entering the Church, warning that 'grievious wolves will enter in, not sparing the flock'. If this is the behaviour of the Church leaders up to almost 500 years after Jesus being on the earth, and given all of the many practices that were introduced between 100AD and 500AD that were not mentioned in the Bible, can we say with any confidence that there is any similarity between the Church Jesus established and the Church we have heard described in this video. If you cannot see how the Church of Jesus Christ could have survived these changes and with the in-fighting on who Jesus was, how do you rationalise your type of Christianity being able to escape all of this and remains today as the pristine Church that Jesus established 2000 years ago? Can someone please explain this to me?
I read a book "Hebrew roots of Christianity" from Mario Saban, however in Spanish, he explains that in year 120 Marcion, a Heretic proposed to create a New Testament, and until year 200 something, it was ONLY the Old Testament and 4 gospels, nothing else.... so for more than 200 years the teachings were focused on the Old Testament mainly, no need for more, and as Jesus stated, "LOVE GOD AND YOUR NEIGHBOOR" nothing else.... so for more than 300 years, if you wanted to believe Jesus was God or not, was something not relevant, everybody was focused on the Old Testament for 2 centuries, also the first century the bishops of Rome were Jews practitioners, but the church history doesn't show what is incongruent, also the believe of reencarnation was until VI century who was abolished by Justino I and many popes were martirized to keep the belief, so it was the emperors, not the church who defined what to believe and they look who followed their ideas, even though first fathers like Origenes believed in reencarnation the church dismissed that, nevertheless is documented on internet. My advice is go back to what was believe int he first century, instead of defending today's ideas.
@@tomasdale5306 Paul died around 70AD and Peter around the same time. That only left John on the Isle of Patmos. All the rest of the Apostles were dead at that time. We know that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John wrote the Gospels and that Paul wrote to certain congregations and individuals, as did Peter, Luke, Jude, James and John wrote additional 'books'. Those writings were copied and distributed around the wider Church at the time. To try to understand what was going on with the Church that Jesus established is difficult but with the warnings that Paul gives to the Church in his letters, we know that corruption in the Church had begun. It is not obvious where that Church is today. However, I am certain that it exist and is 'hiding' in plain sight. If you realise that the little Church on the corner is possibly not that Church, despite the goodness of the people, there is a way for you to find the Church that Jesus established. If you are prepared to take upon you the Saviour's name, always remember Him and keep His commandments, then you should seek and you will find. Start with James 1:5-6. Exercise a little faith and you will come to know. All the best.
Mike Corradi's podcast A History of Italy gave me a light into this topic. I can't wait to find out if this Chanel is cleaned up for believers or gets into the full story of the day.
So glad you are sharing this information!!! These are very important and interesting topics that should be taught in each and every church. It is very important for people to understand the history of their faith 🙏 Thank you so much for sharing and all the hard work you do. God bless you!!!! I have learned so much from this!!!!

Oh, well I thought you were Catholic. For the there has always been one and only Catholic church that goes back to St Peter when Jesus established his church in Matthew 16,18.
@@TheologyAcademy yes, and claimed so by Saint Ignatius of Antioch. Nothing has changed. The Catholic Church almost 2000 years ago, is the same Catholic Church today. We are the Church Jesus Christ, Himself, founded. Read Jimmy Akin's book, The Fathers Know Best. Please be careful, if you give a false protestant, biased account of history, you will be held accountable by Jesus Christ .
No, the Catholic church today: 1. Ignores the Sabbath but observes the venerable day of the sun. 2. Has abandoned our Creator's calendar and His appointed days, but has adopted a pagan calendar with its man-made holidays. 3. Ignores the commandment regarding idols, while teaching it is ok to kneel before statues. 4. Ignores the dietary laws and according to pope Eugene IV even teaches it is ok to eat blood. See Acts 15 and Leviticus 17. 5. Has adopted countless pagan traditions. This church bears little resemblance to the church of 2000 years ago.

hola horray hey. here we go the truth coming up,actually turah&bible were from god but they had been corrupted afterwards as a result god sent down quran upon prophet muhammed&god said i`ll preserved the quran thereby god had fulfilled ,let me show u friendly&honestly the truth,okee dokee.sheding the light on christianity to know the truth first of all there is no original bible the 4 main bible are contradicted to each other yet there is 1 quran but who is the writer of bible the answer is paul the jewish who hates jesus let us discuss about the significant event which is crucifixion why does your claimed god left his only son to crucify without any sin he had committed the disaster reached its uttermost when u found bible said on the tongue of jesus my god my god why do u forsaken me means jesus never crucified willingly have u an idea why do they crucify jesus because it`s a penalty of impure &particularly crucifixion because dindn`t touched the earth make it impured that what paul said jeasus get impure for us &see the authentic god what does said in quran chapter 3 verse 55 by the name of god the most gracious&most merciful , O Jesus, I will take you and raise you up to me, and had purified you from those who disbelieve, and He will place those who follow you above those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection, then to Me is your return, so I will judge between you regarding that in which you differed,the authentic god rose jesus to the sky before they kill him in addition he had purified him from a false accusation that he is impure the quran verse is comply with the bible itself :So they lifted up stones to stone him. But Jesus did and went out of the temple, passing through them." ( John 8:59 ),let alone of many verses in the bible incites to violence thus u found the largest massacres had happened in history the ww1&2 christian countries against christian countries 100 millions had been killed not to mention the sex stories in the bible nay u never found a single sex word in quran,don`t take it in personal just i clarify u the plain truth,bible said woman when she during the menstruation she gets impure &any thing she would touched it will be impure &should stay at her room till had done of it don`t see that an insulting to woman &how does the claimed god in bible said so he demeans& underrates his own creatures, yet islam honored the woman &she has a complete chapter its name women show us her rights,let us look at modern medicine which refutes the bible, ovulalation happens every 28 days from overy next month from other ovary when fertilization fails to happen mestrual bleading happens it always stops when a female gets pregnant ,menstrual cycle ovulation the female genital system consists of one uterus to overuse vagine& externat genital organs ,,the blood during menstruation could cause diseases to spread and that’s why a woman during her menstruation needed to isolate so the blood would not be passed around to other people And diseases not be spread that`s what god said in quran and they ask you about menstruation say, isolate women don't come near them untill they get purified verse 222 chapter 2,why there are priests,pastors&nuns reverted daily to islam,yet u never a muslim clergy left islam as per western media said that islam is the fastest growing religion in the world,i didn`t like to push islam onto u god said no compulsion in religion verse 256 chapter 2,figure it out then make up your mind

Am amazed at the high level debate on the nature/s of Christ. Wow. Both sides brought their A game to the debate. I must align myself with one personhood/unified nature of Christ. Brilliant.
Yeah I agree with you - the Alexandrian Popes Cyril's then Dioscorus's description of Jesus Christ was one incarnate nature encompassing divinity and humanity in fullness yet Christ remain one subject and one hypostasis makes sense and easy to understand - the Romans and Constantinople Popes such as Leo's statement ARE confusing - well they said humanity and divinity are separated and and again they say they're united in one..... it's kind of hard to make sense.
For those who think that the Bible doesn't contradict itself, I see that there is no mention of the experience of those who were with Paul. At Acts 9:7 it states, 'And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man'. Acts 22:9 states, 'And they that were with me saw indeed the light,... but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me'. That's for those who insist in Biblical inerrancy. The Bible has been handled by men who were imperfect. The Holy Ghost can get us around that by filling in the gaps.
Really? ...Not one comment in here. I don't believe it! Well researched and your presentation was very articulate capturing both sides accurately as best you could with available resources in what I would call a mess of propaganda and semantic smoke and mirrors. Kudos to you and may our Holy God bless your ministry.
The black Illuminati and other sects are working with people to discredit me and others with the minds to think about life in general and stop them from being educated
God thank you for this you tube channel. Now I know there is always internal conflict even within and among the early church, after Christ. But the church did not perish even unjust executions and persecutions.
If you died tonight are you 100% sure you'd go to heaven? God loves you, and Jesus Christ lived a perfect/sinless life for you, died on the cross for your sin. And mine, and rose again the third day, victorious over death, hell, and the grave. We must believe this and acknowledge the fact that we are sinners in need of a savior. If you ask God to forgive you, and come into your heart and save you, (with a humble and contrite heart, with a repentant heart..the fact that you now see your sin as an offense to God..and you are sorry for your sin, and you want to live a life pleasing to him..but you know that on your own power you can't) he will. If this is the condition of your heart, and you have a sincere desire to trust him and receive his free gift of salvation..He will save you from eternity in hell and give you a relationship with him. You can be born again! Romans 10:13 for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 3:10 as it is written, there is none righteous no not one. Romans 6:23 for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (That one may not be exact word for word but it is exact in principle) Romans 5:8-9-but God commendeth (proves, shows) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more than, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. In John 3, the Bible explains that if you have not been born again the wrath of God already abides on you. The only thing you have to do is go to hell, is nothing because until you receive Jesus Christ as your personal savior, you're already headed there my friend. I say this not to be mean, but out of love because I don't want to see you go to hell for rejecting Jesus Christ. Romans 3:28 says therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. That means we cannot work our way to heaven, we cannot get baptized to go to heaven, we cannot give money to the church or the pope to go to heaven.. it is only by trusting completely in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Faith in his shed blood! Faith in the fact that he rose again from the grave victorious over hell, death, and the grave. Romans 4:24-51 -if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; who was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. You see, we are not all children of God automatically. You have to want to be, and you have to put your faith in what God says about who Jesus Christ is, and what he has done for you. We cannot have peace with God unless we trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ, and who he is as a person. The Bible says that he is God. Emmanuel =God with Us. Romans 3:22 even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe. When you trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior, (get saved by grace which is God's unmerited favor, by faith) You are justified. That's a legal term which means his righteousness is transferred to you. Your sin has been transferred to him but in order for you to receive his righteousness it takes faith. Romans 2:4 or despises thou The riches of his goodness and the forbearance and long-suffering; not knowing that the goodness of God lead a thee to repentance. God's goodness allows you to see your sin through God's eyes, as you acknowledge the fact that you are a sinner and headed to hell, you will see that your sin is disgusting to God. We are an offense to God. We deserve hell all of us. This is a sobering thought, and the grace of God allows us to realize this, and gives us the right view of our sin, and the right attitude about our sin. We cannot be good on our own power we can't go to heaven on our own power, we can't turn from our sin on our own power and earn favor with God, we must ask him to forgive us and save us cuz there's nothing we can do on our own to earn favor with him. Ephesians 2: 8,9 paraphrased- we are saved by grace through faith, it is a gift and not of works, so nobody can boast about it. Will you receive God's free gift of salvation? Or will you reject God's gift to you? He died for the whole world but we must all personally make a decision to receive him. Not making a decision to receive him is in fact rejecting him. The Bible tells us that we are with him or against him there is no in between. If you believe all of this with your whole heart and you are convicted of your sin.. pray this prayer. Heavenly father, I know that I'm a sinner and I need your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross, and shed his blood for my sin. Help me to turn from my sin and please you, but I can't but by your grace. Please come into my heart and save me. Help me follow you with my whole heart.. I can do nothing without you please help me and save me. In Jesus name amen. If your heart condition is right to be saved, you will have no problem with praying that prayer and will do it gladly. If you have any questions feel free to ask. God says that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved... If God convicted your heart and you experienced godly sorrow about your sin, if you wholeheartedly trust in Jesus Christ alone to save you, then you are saved / eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says in 1st Peter 1 that we are kept by the power of God. Salvation is God's to give us. Not ours.. it's not ours to lose or walk away from. In John 10 the Bible explains that we are held in both the hands of Jesus Christ and the father and that no man can pluck us out. In John 6 Jesus Christ says whoever comes to him he will in no wise cast out (he will under no circumstances reject them). If your heart matches your head.. and you didn't give the Lord Jesus Christ lip service.. then you can rejoice because you are saved and eternally secure. Welcome to the family of God. You can be a disobedient child, or an obedient child. God is such a good Father, and wants to talk to us daily through the Bible and he wants to hear what we have to say through prayer. Hebrews 11:6 (speaking of God). But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek them.
I can’t figure out if this is a computer generated voice bc of the mispronunciation of commonly known words like subsequent, epistles, Barnabus, etc. otherwise very informative.
I think it is someone who doesn't speak English as their first language and the may be using some form of auto tuning. This voice sounds like a Finnish man speaking English to me. 👍🏻
Thank you; this is amazing and informative. In Indonesia, there has been a lot accusation about the beginning of the truth including suspicion whether or not true that Catholic Church is the first church built by the apostels then continued by the Popes and Bishops. Many people believe that history of codification and cannonization of the Holy Bible was not made the Catholic.
Some thoughts to please consider ; my reply to a 'priest's claims about catholocis being the only way to God. You said" 'the catholic church( of Rome) has not changed BECAUSE God has not changed." The inference is very clear, but mistaken. Why not start at the VERY beginning of the Christian gatherings , it must surely be the best model to follow. It started in Jerusalem in someone's home, then homes;it had a strong JEWISH flavour, not Gentile. James, the brother of Jesus was its first leader; he was not referred to, or treated, as a 'priest' ; rather SERVANT. Yes, that has changed dramatically , for the worst as men, like most of the Jewish high priests who sought to protect their power, pride and wealth. But first, be sure what you mean when you mention 'church.' It has 4 meanings ; 1. A group of Christians gathered to worship God, even in an open field. 2. An empty building dedicated to worshipping God. 3 Christians gathered in such a building. 4. The world wide spiritual body of Christ. #4 should first be understood in the terms used by Jesus, not men. Oh, I just remembered, popes can over-rule scripture. So, despite that, Jesus said he was coming for his spotless bride, his flock. In bible terminology, referring to humans, spotless means WITHOUT SIN. And 'bride' is in the SINGULAR; one flock of his many 'sheep.' To apply this to ANY one religious, earthly, organization is sheer folly, and here is why ; to qualify for that redemption EVERY member, billions of Christains, must be SINLESS at the time of Christs return. Again EVERY SINGLE MEMBER; if one individual is in sin ( ie, lust, anger, unforgiveness, jealously, greed etc ) the ENTIRE body will be rejected, and Christ will have to re-schedule his return. Clearly this makes absurdity seem logical; so foolish it is. The only correct meaning is simply this ; Jesus will, in that glorious moment, MAKE everyone of his sheep SPOTLESS; forever. Therefore NO earthly religious organization has a monopoly on salvation, and no member can be saved because of membership to it. From a Messianic Jew.

Is there any historical record of debate or dissent in the early church when the notion of priests, sacerdotalism, and the Eucharist as a sacrifice began to be introduced?
Such churchiness. Imagine if Jesus would have treated the apostle who denied Him the way these vampires in robes treated the people who repented after denying Christ. Power doth indeed corrupt. Thank God for Jesus!

Are you blind? What did God say about bowing down or praying to images made by human hands? Have you not read that? Was Mary's image made by human hands or not? Anyone or anything that takes your worship away from God is not of God but of the devil! God wants to be worshipped in Spirit and in truth. That's exactly what He said!

Not some made up nonsense to placate a King of England who left his faith because he couldn't remain faithful and wanted to make a bastard legitimate by divorce that wasn't granted.

I have been studying early Church history this last while back trying to find out what happened within the Church after the demise of the Apostles up to the time that Christianity was adopted by Constantine for the Roman Empire around 323AD.
You have done a great job here and gave me a structure to hang the information I have already got and hope to expand on.
I must say that I'm coming from the position that the Apostles were prophets and received revelation. I also believe other Church leaders would have been entitle to revelation within their realm of responsibility and calling. After all, each received the gift of the Holy Ghost at baptism and one of the roles of the Holy Ghost is to teach and to testify of truth.
Given what was said at Mars Hill, Colossians 2:8 and Acts 20:29-30, I doubt that the Church that Jesus established existed much longer after Paul died, assuming he was the last Apostle to die or at least one of the last.
I will research all of those men you mention as I have already done with some that you did to help me get a greater insight into what went on.
Thanks again.

@@mitchellosmer1293 I must have written this in the middle of the night. I don't sleep well.
Paul was the most active of the Apostles, given his journeys and his letters to the various churches and one of the last to die around 68AD. He had an encounter with Epicurean pagan philosophers at Mars Hill, piqueing their interfering interest as per verse 32 of chapter 17 of Acts. Paul went on to warn the Collosians at 2:8 to beware of vain philosophy. He also met with a group from Ephesus near the end of his life, prophesying that when he was gone(dead) that greivous wolves would enter in not sparing the flock.
I am interested in information about how quickly these 'wolves' were able to get control of the Church and the influence they had over it.
Thanks for correcting my laziness but I would appreciate it if you could point me to the information I am looking for if you know of any, thanking you in advance.

by "wolves" you mean what??? I consider them to be the Catholic Popes.--Along with Emporer Constatine
----CODEX 16.8.20 The same Augustuses (Honorius and Theodosius) to Johannes, Praetorian Prefect.
If it should appear that any places are frequented by conventicles of the Jews and are called by the name of synagogues, no one shall dare to violate or to occupy and retain such places, since all
persons must retain their own property in undisturbed right, with-out any claim of religion or worship.
1. Moreover, since indeed ancient custom and practice have pre-served for the aforesaid Jewish people the consecrated day of the Sabbath, We also decree that it shall be forbidden that any man of the aforesaid faith should be constrained by any summons on that day, under the pre-text of public or private business, since all the remaining time appears sufficient to satisfy the public laws, and since it is most worthy of the moderation of Our time that the privileges granted should not be violated although sufficient pro-vision appears to have been made with reference to the afore-said matter by general constitutions of earlier Emperors.* (July 26, 412). (Pharr, 469)
* This law made a reference to earlier “constitutions” (plural) made by other Emperors (plural). At the very least this refers to the decrees of Augustus, Claudius, and perhaps even Constantine. There may have been others which are now lost. This law and the statement which concludes it is further proof that Constantine continued to provide protections for Sabbath observance.
The Latin from the opening sentence of 16.8.20, section 1 reads: “At cum vero iudaeorum memorato populo sacratum diem sab-bati vetus mos et consuetudo servaverit…”
The Latin word translated as ‘ancient’ is vetus, and it means for-mer, long-standing, old, aged, or ancient. These Roman rulers recognized that the Jewish people honored the Sabbath from an-cient times. They described the Sabbath using the Latin word ‘sacratum’, which refers to that which is sacred. It refers to some-thing that is intrinsically set apart for religious purposes. The Ro-man peoples began to identify the Biblical Sabbath with the Latin word sacra as early as the first century BC (see Pompeius Trogus, Epitome, 36.2.14; Tibullus, Elegies, 1.3.17-18; Ovid, The Art of Love, 1:3, 1:11 and The Cure for Love, part 3).
--------Codex Justinianeus
The Code of Justinian was composed in the 520s/530s AD under the reign of the Roman Emperor Justinian. In it, we find CT
16.8.20 repeated as 1.9.13, which means that he allowed the same protections as earlier Emperors.
The Sabbath was protected by Roman rulers as early as Julius Caesar. This custom was retained by most other Emperors until at least Justinian. While these laws specifically grant privileges to Jewish people, these same laws would have been extended to Christians as well.
As discussed earlier, a vast majority of Christians still honored the Sabbath into the fifth century AD. Eusebius’ comment above about Constantine would also agree with this conclusion, as dis-cussed in Appendix B. Since the second century AD, many teach-ers in the Roman Church labeled the Sabbath a Jewish institution and attempted to lump Sabbath keeping Christians and Jews to-gether. Even groups, such as Arians, that were known to have Sabbath keeping tendencies also were put in the same view as Jewish people.*
----Chapter 2
Sunday Laws (Part 1 of 2)
As reviewed in the last chapter, the Roman Empire protected Sab-bath observance. On the other hand, the idea of making Sunday a protected day of rest was a nuanced idea.
The first Sunday civil rest law in history was passed in 321 AD by Constantine. The idea that he passed this law to promote Christianity is far from accurate. Constantine was definitely en-thralled by sun worship. The language in the law supports this as the chief reason for the law being passed.
One other detail to keep in mind is that Sunday was the second day of the week in the original pagan planetary week. It was not recognized as the first day of the week by Roman law until the 400s AD, which occurred after much influence from the Roman Catholic Church. -(yet the Holy Bible clearly states Christ rose on the First day of the week, which most call Easter Sunday)
------Codex Justinius
3.12.3 (some list as 3.12.2) The Emperor Constantius
“All Judges and city people and the craftsmen shall rest upon the venerable Day of the Sun. Country people, however, may freely attend to the cultivation of the fields, because it frequently hap-pens that no other days are better adapted for planting the grain in the furrows or the vines in trenches. So that the advantage given by heavenly providence may not for the occasion of a short time perish. 321 AD.” (quoted from Ayers, 284-285)
The first Sunday law in history was passed by Constantine. In the Latin manuscript of this law, the phrase translated as “venerable day of the sun” is venerabilis dies solis. Constantine’s decree was based upon honoring and esteeming the celestial body we call the sun. The decree did not honor the Hebrew God or Jesus Christ. Notice that no worship is mentioned; it simply declared a civil day of rest.
This law was not designed to mirror the Biblical Sabbath. Notice that farmers were not allowed to take off work on the day. The God of the Holy Bible gave us the Sabbath (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset) as the weekly day of rest for all people, regardless of their occupation. This command extends to farmers in their slow and busy seasons (Ex. 34:21).
Constantine held the title pontifex maximus. This was an ancient pagan Roman title that allowed him to control the religious calen-dar of the Empire. He commonly struck coins with images of Sol Invictus (the invincible sun god) and Jupiter. Sunday was a day commonly honored by worshippers of Mithras (Encyclopedia Britannica “Mithras”). The day after his first Sun-day law, he re-ceived a law allowing the pagan soothsayers to enter buildings where lightning had struck (CT: 16.10.1). This decree upheld the ancient Roman custom where a ceremony was used to determine which god or goddess was angry and how to pacify him/her.
In other words, while Constantine did show favor to Christians, he also continued to honor paganism. In this way, he utilized the title pontifex maximus.

How can anyone want to be a Christian?
It is obvious to the sane, there is no god, no Jesus Christ, no prophesy, outside of fiction. Christian meat comes from butchering the context of words & a sublime tourism resource.
Can there be any moral justification for the Christian? It is obvious to the sane, there is no god, no Jesus Christ, no prophesy, outside of fiction. Christians gain for themselves by butchering the context of words. I'm sure, if everyone is not aware of the alleged deity, the god title is a bit fudged, & does not fit. Dear Christian Uploader, my god, have you any sense of decency? Christian invocations call into existence evil as good; they are wolves in sheep's clothing. We know a tree by the fruit. We know them by their works. Thank God secular law & order finally stopped the witch killings.
I can only imagine if a deity desired my awareness of it, I would probably be aware & if not, then why call deity other than fiction? Christians embarrass & insult us with this barrage of nonsense, retreating into caves like this channel to refuel. You encourage people to travel as if best done with one foot in fantasyland. Theologians grant each other doctorates based on nothing whatsoever. Christians are fascists, rendering to Caesar what is his, exercising freedom of speech with abuse. The naked ape is a vein species, Christians want to own the narrative, claiming knowledge of a supreme being, which is never verified beyond a tool of fiction. Christians insult intelligence in public, suggesting we navigate reality with one foot one foot in literary fiction & state propaganda. Christians authorize themselves to weigh-in on whatnot as if Earth had gravity-free zones, & everyone knows it. We inherit their vast bulk of our oldest documents, the records of looting & torture: inquisitions. Christians are hypocrites with productions like this, making a scene of praying in the temple. Christians are the lowlifes in society, avoided like the insane pretending to talk to an invisible friend, holding a hairdryer in place of a phone. Christians manufacture ultimate vanity, proclaiming we are all gods, children of the highest god.
When the contradictions of the economic system catch up to it, the politicians intone the same notions, because they don't know what to do. Democracy is a cult-like faith where many actually believe giving power to others always has consequence which can be tolerably managed by the managers. The models for Limits to Growth of 1973 were accurate. The state has no plans, so the only difference between a Republican & a Democrat is how fast the knee hits the floor when a donor walks in the room & SCOTUS produces stench.
What is really funny, is these Christian delusions support videos. Christians ignore they are rejects, politely avoided like the old lady with 400 pet cats. Christians don't comprehend the parody being played, the guy making a scene of prayer in the temple. Christians are largely given a pass for suggestions we navigate with a map of fantasyland. Christians present evil as good, the wolves in sheep's clothing. Christians authorize themselves to weigh-in on whatnot as if Earth had gravity-free zones, and everyone knows it. That is why Alex Jones puts Jesus-lingo in the sales delivery.
Outstanding. Fleshes out the bare bones of what even the above average curious person knows to date about the apostolic succession, the councils and creeds and earliest theologians starting with Paul, and dissemination of the Word

Then u must herd the story about Mary Magdalene getting dp'd by pagananitys Jesus and Peter ....n the resurrection happened she gave him a BJ to the lifeless body of hes
What it doesn't say is that the 5 bishops of Rome (popes) for the first century, were Jews, practicing Judaism, and in the first 2 centuries, everybody was practicing Judaism and the only scriptures accepted were the Old Testament, and that was the only teaching, so until the third century it was created the Christianity as a different religion. And during the first century everybody was observing Saturday and not Sunday. It was until the Jews in Jerusalem rebel against Rome that Gentiles decided to create a different religion. It is documented, we were all Jews in the first 2 centuries.
@@tomasdale5306 please read the book of Acts. Paul established a flourishing Gentile church and a movement known as The Way. The majority were not Jews. But they followed the Jewish messiah. And this was in the 1st century.
@@janetpearson3024 What I find most interesting is that the Gospel we know today as the Christian Gospel, especially in the Protestant churches, comes mostly from Paul, not from Jesus and coming from Paul, his gospel came, not from the earthly teachings of Jesus of Nazareth but from the Being of Light Paul encountered in the many visions and revelations he alludes to in his writings. In other words, today's Christianity is based on Paul's mysticism. Most people are like me, I had read those passages hundreds of time without noticing their real meaning.
@@tomasdale5306 Nothing shows those 5 Popes practicing Judaism. Please stop posting nonsense on here. The writings which would make up the New Testament would be read. The final canon of both Old and New Testaments wasn't finalized until 382 and the Septuagint varies from the Jewish canon. During the first century the Christian's would gather on the Lord's Day(Sunday). Christianity IS the completion of Judaism and has nothing to do with any rebellion against Rome which would happen numerous times before and after the split.
Scripture such as Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2, Colossians 2:16-17, and Revelation 1:10 indicate that, even during New Testament times, the Sabbath is no longer binding and that Christians are to worship on the Lord’s day, Sunday, instead.
The early Church Fathers compared the observance of the Sabbath to the observance of the rite of circumcision, and from that they demonstrated that if the apostles abolished circumcision (Gal. 5:1-6), so also the observance of the Sabbath must have been abolished.
The Didache
“But every Lord’s day . . . gather yourselves together and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure. But let no one that is at variance with his fellow come together with you, until they be reconciled, that your sacrifice may not be profaned” (Didache 14 [A.D. 70]).
The Letter of Barnabas
“We keep the eighth day [Sunday] with joyfulness, the day also on which Jesus rose again from the dead” (Letter of Barnabas 15:6-8 [A.D. 74]).
St. Ignatius of Antioch(a student of apostles Peter and John)
“[T]hose who were brought up in the ancient order of things [i.e. Jews] have come to the possession of a new hope, no longer observing the Sabbath, but living in the observance of the Lord’s day, on which also our life has sprung up again by him and by his death” (Letter to the Magnesians 8 [A.D. 110]).
St. Justin Martyr
“But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead” (First Apology 67 [A.D. 155]).
The Didascalia
“The apostles further appointed: On the first day of the week let there be service, and the reading of the holy scriptures, and the oblation [sacrifice of the Mass], because on the first day of the week [i.e., Sunday] our Lord rose from the place of the dead, and on the first day of the week he arose upon the world, and on the first day of the week he ascended up to heaven, and on the first day of the week he will appear at last with the angels of heaven” (Didascalia 2 [A.D. 225]).
Origen
“Hence it is not possible that the [day of] rest after the Sabbath should have come into existence from the seventh [day] of our God. On the contrary, it is our Savior who, after the pattern of his own rest, caused us to be made in the likeness of his death, and hence also of his resurrection” (Commentary on John 2:28 [A.D. 229]).

You can still be a born again Christian without knowing all these but good to know as they strengthen your faith even more.
It's great to connect the apostles with those who heard them and wrote more down. It helps show Christ was actually here, and why we believe and do what we do
Agreed!!!
If you died tonight are you 100% sure you'd go to heaven?
God loves you, and Jesus Christ lived a perfect/sinless life for you, died on the cross for your sin. And mine, and rose again the third day, victorious over death, hell, and the grave. We must believe this and acknowledge the fact that we are sinners in need of a savior. If you ask God to forgive you, and come into your heart and save you, (with a humble and contrite heart, with a repentant heart..the fact that you now see your sin as an offense to God..and you are sorry for your sin, and you want to live a life pleasing to him..but you know that on your own power you can't) he will. If this is the condition of your heart, and you have a sincere desire to trust him and receive his free gift of salvation..He will save you from eternity in hell and give you a relationship with him. You can be born again! Romans 10:13 for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans 3:10 as it is written, there is none righteous no not one.
Romans 6:23 for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (That one may not be exact word for word but it is exact in principle)
Romans 5:8-9-but God commendeth (proves, shows) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more than, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
In John 3, the Bible explains that if you have not been born again the wrath of God already abides on you.
The only thing you have to do is go to hell, is nothing because until you receive Jesus Christ as your personal savior, you're already headed there my friend. I say this not to be mean, but out of love because I don't want to see you go to hell for rejecting Jesus Christ.
Romans 3:28 says therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
That means we cannot work our way to heaven, we cannot get baptized to go to heaven, we cannot give money to the church or the pope to go to heaven.. it is only by trusting completely in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Faith in his shed blood! Faith in the fact that he rose again from the grave victorious over hell, death, and the grave.
Romans 4:24-51 -if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; who was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
You see, we are not all children of God automatically. You have to want to be, and you have to put your faith in what God says about who Jesus Christ is, and what he has done for you. We cannot have peace with God unless we trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ, and who he is as a person.
The Bible says that he is God.
Emmanuel =God with Us.
Romans 3:22 even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe.
When you trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior, (get saved by grace which is God's unmerited favor, by faith)
You are justified. That's a legal term which means his righteousness is transferred to you. Your sin has been transferred to him but in order for you to receive his righteousness it takes faith.
Romans 2:4 or despises thou The riches of his goodness and the forbearance and long-suffering; not knowing that the goodness of God lead a thee to repentance.
God's goodness allows you to see your sin through God's eyes, as you acknowledge the fact that you are a sinner and headed to hell, you will see that your sin is disgusting to God. We are an offense to God. We deserve hell all of us. This is a sobering thought, and the grace of God allows us to realize this, and gives us the right view of our sin, and the right attitude about our sin. We cannot be good on our own power we can't go to heaven on our own power, we can't turn from our sin on our own power and earn favor with God, we must ask him to forgive us and save us cuz there's nothing we can do on our own to earn favor with him.
Ephesians 2: 8,9 paraphrased- we are saved by grace through faith, it is a gift and not of works, so nobody can boast about it.
Will you receive God's free gift of salvation? Or will you reject God's gift to you? He died for the whole world but we must all personally make a decision to receive him. Not making a decision to receive him is in fact rejecting him. The Bible tells us that we are with him or against him there is no in between.
If you believe all of this with your whole heart and you are convicted of your sin.. pray this prayer.
Heavenly father, I know that I'm a sinner and I need your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross, and shed his blood for my sin. Help me to turn from my sin and please you, but I can't but by your grace. Please come into my heart and save me. Help me follow you with my whole heart.. I can do nothing without you please help me and save me. In Jesus name amen.
If your heart condition is right to be saved, you will have no problem with praying that prayer and will do it gladly. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
God says that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved...
If God convicted your heart and you experienced godly sorrow about your sin, if you wholeheartedly trust in Jesus Christ alone to save you, then you are saved / eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Bible says in 1st Peter 1 that we are kept by the power of God. Salvation is God's to give us. Not ours.. it's not ours to lose or walk away from.
In John 10 the Bible explains that we are held in both the hands of Jesus Christ and the father and that no man can pluck us out.
In John 6 Jesus Christ says whoever comes to him he will in no wise cast out (he will under no circumstances reject them).
If your heart matches your head.. and you didn't give the Lord Jesus Christ lip service.. then you can rejoice because you are saved and eternally secure. Welcome to the family of God. You can be a disobedient child, or an obedient child.
God is such a good Father, and wants to talk to us daily through the Bible and he wants to hear what we have to say through prayer.
Hebrews 11:6 (speaking of God). But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek them.
Except It’s not real, it’s not historical, it’s astounding rubbish from the New Testament .
The gospels are not eyewitness accounts, the authors are unknown, the traditions are a lie.

Yeshua never told us to pray to His Mother. This is a false doctrine. It is listed NOWHERE in the Bible. In fact it is considered necromancy and explicitly prohibited by the Bible.
@@ibrahimghibihisab4502 "I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him." (Deuteronomy 18:18-19)
Is Muhammad the prophet that God promised in this passage?
The verses that immediate follow the above verses read:
"But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.’ And if you say in your heart, ‘How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?’ - when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him." (Deuteronomy 18:20-22)
A prophet of God is the mouthpiece of God, who is perfect and never wrong. Therefore, when someone claims to be speaking as instructed by God and then makes a false statement, that person "has spoken presumptuously" and is not God's prophet.
Did Muhammad make any such false statement? When Muhammad conquered the pagan Mecca, it worshipped three hundred and sixty idols. The four most important among them were the moon god, "Sin," also known as "Hubal," also known as "Allah," and his three daughters: Al-Lat, Al-Uzza and Al-Manat.
Muhammad's attempt to impose monotheism by keeping just Allah and getting rid of the other three hundred and fifty-nine Meccan idols faced resistance from the Meccans, who held Allah's three daughter idols very dear.
Eager to be accepted as a prophet in his native Mecca, Muhammad initially conceded that Allah approved of Al-Lat, Al-Uzza and Al-Manat. But unable to reconcile three extra goddesses with his declared monotheism, Muhammad later reversed himself, confessing, "I have fabricated things against Allah and have imputed to him words which he has not spoken." (Al Tabari, The History of Al-Tabari, vol. 6, p.111) and said he had mistaken the words of "Satan" (Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasul Allah, pp.165-166) as Allah's.
Given Allah's true identity, the words of Allah and Satan would not be hard to confuse. Had Muhammad claimed to be a prophet of the God of the Bible, however, someone who hears from Satan, mistakes Satan's words as God's and fabricates "things against" God is a false prophet whom God said above, "shall die."
@@bawbjusbawb6471 You said it is listed NOWHERE in the bible; let me show you, hasn't God said to Abimelech that Abraham should pray for him (Gen 20:7), hasn't God said to Job's friends that Job should pray for them for their sins (Job 42:8), hasn't God said to Aaron and his sister Mary that that the meek Moses should pray for them (Num. 12:13) so that God will forgive their sins.

- Mark Twain, a Biography
Till 325 AD, not a single historian or writer wrote about Jesus Christ or any of his disciples .
BEFORE THE FIRST COUNCIL OF NICEA IN 325 AD, NOBODY ON THIS PLANET EVER HEARD OF THE NAMES JESUS CHRIST OR CHRISTIANITY.
JESUS/ BIBLE / CHRISTIANTY WAS COOKED UP IN 325 AD, BY JEWESS HELENA , WHO SAT ON THE POPE'S CHAIR..
"Vatican is Evil terrorist satanic organisation."
If Satan does exist, then he thrives inside the Roman Catholic Church.
The dead sea scrolls covering the period from Birth of Jesus to 68 AD , does NOT say one word about Jesus or his 12 Apostles.
Hellenistic philosopher Philo Judaeus of Alexandria (20 BCE-50 AD/CE)-alive at the purported time of Jesus, and one of the wealthiest and best connected citizens of the Empire- makes no mention of Christ, Christians or Christianity in his voluminous writings. Nor do any of the hundreds of other historians and writers who flourished during the first THREE centuries of the common era.
The DEAD SEA SCROLLS were all written by Pagan Essenes . None of them have been edited by later Christians, as is the case with some other Jewish literature.
All the scrolls (except a treasure map known as the Copper Scroll) can be dated prior to A.D. 68 or 69, when the Qumran settlement was believed to have been destroyed by the Romans in the Jewish revolt.
The oldest of the scrolls probably goes back to the middle of the third century B.C. The people of Qumran belonged to a Pagan religious group known as the Essenes.
Pliny the Elder, who died during the volcanic destruction of Pompeii in the year 79 A.D., described a community of pagan Essenes living on the western shore of the Dead Sea, close to where Khirbet Qumran is situated.
John the Baptist was an ascetic Essene . He was a vegan and was uncircumcised . Various literary sources like Josephus and Philo tell clearly that Essenes were ascetics.
We also know, from literary testimony, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the archaeological remains of Qumran, that the Essenes practiced many water baptisms for ritual purification-similar to a dip in the Ganges or the river Pampa or at Thiirunelli. At Qumran, however, all members of the community were baptized with water for ritual purification.
Josephus writes, "And as for their piety towards God, it is very extraordinary; for before sunrising they speak not a word about profane matters, but put up certain prayers which they have received from their forefathers, as if they made a supplication for its rising" (Wars, 2.8.5). This testimony accords well with what we know from the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Prayer and humility was one thing that the Essenes . When they cooked up stories about Jesus they wrote that Jesus Christ ate the Last Supper in the Essene part of town.
Jesus is not historical character, The Dead Sea Scrolls have produced increasing evidence to cement the fact that Jesus Christ never existed and the whole story was cooked up at the First Council of Nicea in 325 AD.
The FAKE gospels were written after 325 AD after Jesus was cooked up at the first Council of Nicea..
Twelve apostles of Jesus never existed.
Jesus Christ names 12 apostles to spread his gospel, and the early Christian church owes its rapid rise to their missionary zeal. Yet, for most of the Twelve, there's scant evidence of their existence outside of the New Testament.

Deep in deceptions...
The first seven Ecumenical Councils were held in the East. The East was oriented to philosophical speculation that is why it was prone to heresy. However, the same philosophical orientation helped in defining the theological terms of the controversies, such as the homoosious, hypostatic union, and the distinction between nature and person in the Holy Trinity and in Jesus Christ.

@@danielarredondo6986 reading the bible must be in accordance with the context my brother, read from the first verse to the end so that we don't take the meaning astray. Jesus forbade anyone to call anyone father on earth to warn the people: 1) that there is only one we can think of as God the Father, the source of all fathers on earth; 2) that we may not be like the scribes and Pharisees who love to be respected and called as rabbis and fathers by all.[1] But Jesus didn't mean to forbid everyone from calling "father" to someone who really is their father. For in other passages, Jesus refers to parents as father and mother (cf. Matt. 10:35; 19:29). If Jesus really forbade it, then He couldn't have called this calling himself. Abraham is called the 'father of Abraham' our forefathers (Luke 16:24, Acts 7:2; Rom 4:1, James 2:21), and the Apostle Paul refers to himself as the father of the people in Corinth (1Co 4:15) and father of the people of Corinth. spiritual for Timothy (1Ti 1:2, 2 Tim 1:2), and for Titus (Titus 1:4). The Apostle John also preached to the fathers (1 John 2:14).

Theology Academy is great blessing Christians wanting a much broader perspective and understanding of our Christian faith and heritage. Along with the Bible Project you have really opened up the importance of shifting our paradigm and gaining a much broader understanding of how these early first followers of Christ would have been hearing our Lord especially from an eastern perspective and ultimately how the early Church spread throughout the mediterranean regions. Regardless of if you are Orthodox, Catholic, or one of the many denominations of Protestantism. This History of the Church (1st-5th Century) has been great. I am listening to the Catholic Brothers "First 500 Years" Series Podcast on RUclips and that has been incredible paired along with your documentary. It really gives insight to what we would have possibly been seeing on the ground in that period and the impact it would have had on the formation of the early Church.

Wow…that made my brain hurt! So many “intellectual” men all disagreeing with one another and yet Jesus said except we become as a child we shall not enter the kingdom of God. We’re they even filled with the Holy Spirit? I’m glad my relationship with Jesus is not this complicated…yikes😮
Yeah, whatever you do don't read the Bible cover to cover (like I have). You'll then know that for every Bible platitude, there's another quote from the same book that at least seems to contradict that. (For example, the Bible also tells you that when you become an adult, you should put away childhood things: i.e. stop being like a child and grow up.) Actually, yeah, I advise you don't read any of the Bible for yourself. Let your local priest/pastor cherry-pick "the good bits" for you.
That’s a scapegoat to press the easy button and avoid responsibility to educate ourselves and become smart 😂

Thank you for this wonderful video. My love of Church History is not so much based on the Counsels, but on those individuals who for the love of Christ and His Church, laid down their lives or endured hardships to evangelize or were given the gift of miracles to care for others and point to Christ. I guess the stories of the saints through the centuries who I hope to meet when we get to Heaven moves my heart. The Holy Spirit & Jesus, I think, would like His Friends' names and sacrifices to be known. Blessed be God in His angels and His saints. GBY!
I LOVE this truth. Am so glad to graciously be a partaker of this LIFE...
Shalom sir.
I'm just into the video and the talk is about the day of Pentecost. The narrator says that the Holy Ghost filled the disciples of Jesus and they spoke 'in tongues'. The account of this incident has been somewhat twisted by those who wrest the scriptures. What the disciples didn't do was speak in a language that sounded gibberish but they spoke with 'other tounges' that could be understood by those devout Jews, dwelling at Jerusalem at that time, 'out of every nation under heaven'.
Obviously, that was to allow the Gospel to spread and not for tricks in church.
Paul said, “if we preach in tongues of Angeles,” which means that tongues included heavenly languages.
@@allendiaz1602Well, obviously 'tongues included Heavenly tongues. Angels don't necessarily speak English, for example, they speak the language of Heaven. However, tongues are not given to be used as some sort of authority from God. Speaking in a different tongue is used to communicate with a person who speaks the language being communicated. To speak the tongue of angels is to speak to them in their language. To teach a Polish person the Gospel, it is more effective speaking to them in their tongue.
The gift of tongues is given to Missionaries who have to communicate the Gospel in the person's native tongue.
What tongues isn't, is for someone to blurt a lot of word sounds to an audience that doesn't understand the 'language' spoken.
We may receive the Gift of tongues if we ever have to speak with angels. However, someone claiming to speak the tongues of angels, when there are no angels present, may be speaking the words of satan.
After watching all of this video as a Christian of what ever denomination, does it leave you feeling that from the demise of the Apostles, those who were able to speak in the name of God, it was the ideas that individual men held in their minds that shaped the Church, that revelation had ceased, and there was anything but unity?
I ask myself how this could be the Church of Jesus Christ? They were not fighting over the nature of Jesus Christ at the time of the Apostles. In fact, Paul, in virtually all of his letters, was constantly warning the Church about false doctrine and vain philosophies entering the Church, warning that 'grievious wolves will enter in, not sparing the flock'.
If this is the behaviour of the Church leaders up to almost 500 years after Jesus being on the earth, and given all of the many practices that were introduced between 100AD and 500AD that were not mentioned in the Bible, can we say with any confidence that there is any similarity between the Church Jesus established and the Church we have heard described in this video.
If you cannot see how the Church of Jesus Christ could have survived these changes and with the in-fighting on who Jesus was, how do you rationalise your type of Christianity being able to escape all of this and remains today as the pristine Church that Jesus established 2000 years ago? Can someone please explain this to me?
I read a book "Hebrew roots of Christianity" from Mario Saban, however in Spanish, he explains that in year 120 Marcion, a Heretic proposed to create a New Testament, and until year 200 something, it was ONLY the Old Testament and 4 gospels, nothing else.... so for more than 200 years the teachings were focused on the Old Testament mainly, no need for more, and as Jesus stated, "LOVE GOD AND YOUR NEIGHBOOR" nothing else.... so for more than 300 years, if you wanted to believe Jesus was God or not, was something not relevant, everybody was focused on the Old Testament for 2 centuries, also the first century the bishops of Rome were Jews practitioners, but the church history doesn't show what is incongruent, also the believe of reencarnation was until VI century who was abolished by Justino I and many popes were martirized to keep the belief, so it was the emperors, not the church who defined what to believe and they look who followed their ideas, even though first fathers like Origenes believed in reencarnation the church dismissed that, nevertheless is documented on internet. My advice is go back to what was believe int he first century, instead of defending today's ideas.
@@tomasdale5306
Paul died around 70AD and Peter around the same time. That only left John on the Isle of Patmos. All the rest of the Apostles were dead at that time. We know that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John wrote the Gospels and that Paul wrote to certain congregations and individuals, as did Peter, Luke, Jude, James and John wrote additional 'books'. Those writings were copied and distributed around the wider Church at the time.
To try to understand what was going on with the Church that Jesus established is difficult but with the warnings that Paul gives to the Church in his letters, we know that corruption in the Church had begun.
It is not obvious where that Church is today. However, I am certain that it exist and is 'hiding' in plain sight. If you realise that the little Church on the corner is possibly not that Church, despite the goodness of the people, there is a way for you to find the Church that Jesus established. If you are prepared to take upon you the Saviour's name, always remember Him and keep His commandments, then you should seek and you will find. Start with James 1:5-6. Exercise a little faith and you will come to know. All the best.
Many blessings to you for sharing this video and it’s content. It’s quite informative. 🙏🏾

I am glad he mentioned many Catholic bishops and saints. St Ireneus of Lyon became a doctor of the church. He is the 36th.
Just a reminder here, Catholic in the first few centuries of Christianity meant “Universal.”
Oh, well I thought you were Catholic. For the there has always been one and only Catholic church that goes back to St Peter when Jesus established his church in Matthew 16,18.
@@TheologyAcademy yes, and claimed so by Saint Ignatius of Antioch.
Nothing has changed. The Catholic Church almost 2000 years ago, is the same Catholic Church today. We are the Church Jesus Christ, Himself, founded. Read Jimmy Akin's book, The Fathers Know Best. Please be careful, if you give a false protestant, biased account of history, you will be held accountable by Jesus Christ .
No, the Catholic church today:
1. Ignores the Sabbath but observes the venerable day of the sun.
2. Has abandoned our Creator's calendar and His appointed days, but has adopted a pagan calendar with its man-made holidays.
3. Ignores the commandment regarding idols, while teaching it is ok to kneel before statues.
4. Ignores the dietary laws and according to pope Eugene IV even teaches it is ok to eat blood. See Acts 15 and Leviticus 17.
5. Has adopted countless pagan traditions.
This church bears little resemblance to the church of 2000 years ago.
The fisrt day..........When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” Luke 24: 1-32

hola horray hey. here we go the truth coming up,actually turah&bible were from god but they had been corrupted afterwards as a result god sent down quran upon prophet muhammed&god said i`ll preserved the quran thereby god had fulfilled ,let me show u friendly&honestly the truth,okee dokee.sheding the light on christianity to know the truth first of all there is no original bible the 4 main bible are contradicted to each other yet there is 1 quran but who is the writer of bible the answer is paul the jewish who hates jesus let us discuss about the significant event which is crucifixion why does your claimed god left his only son to crucify without any sin he had committed the disaster reached its uttermost when u found bible said on the tongue of jesus my god my god why do u forsaken me means jesus never crucified willingly have u an idea why do they crucify jesus because it`s a penalty of impure &particularly crucifixion because dindn`t touched the earth make it impured that what paul said jeasus get impure for us &see the authentic god what does said in quran chapter 3 verse 55 by the name of god the most gracious&most merciful ,
O Jesus, I will take you and raise you up to me, and had purified you from those who disbelieve, and He will place those who follow you above those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection, then to Me is your return, so I will judge between you regarding that in which you differed,the authentic god rose jesus to the sky before they kill him in addition he had purified him from a false accusation that he is impure the quran verse is comply with the bible itself :So they lifted up stones to stone him. But Jesus did and went out of the temple, passing through them." ( John 8:59 ),let alone of many verses in the bible incites to violence thus u found the largest massacres had happened in history the ww1&2 christian countries against christian countries 100 millions had been killed not to mention the sex stories in the bible nay u never found a single sex word in quran,don`t take it in personal just i clarify u the plain truth,bible said woman when she during the menstruation she gets impure &any thing she would touched it will be impure &should stay at her room till had done of it don`t see that an insulting to woman &how does the claimed god in bible said so he demeans& underrates his own creatures, yet islam honored the woman &she has a complete chapter its name women show us her rights,let us look at modern medicine which refutes the bible, ovulalation happens every 28 days from overy next month from other ovary when fertilization fails to happen mestrual bleading happens it always stops when a female gets pregnant ,menstrual cycle ovulation the female genital system consists of one uterus to overuse vagine& externat genital organs ,,the blood during menstruation could cause diseases to spread and that’s why a woman during her menstruation needed to isolate so the blood would not be passed around to other people And diseases not be spread that`s what god said in quran and they ask you about menstruation say, isolate women don't come near them untill they get purified verse 222 chapter 2,why there are priests,pastors&nuns reverted daily to islam,yet u never a muslim clergy left islam as per western media said that islam is the fastest growing religion in the world,i didn`t like to push islam onto u god said no compulsion in religion verse 256 chapter 2,figure it out then make up your mind

Am amazed at the high level debate on the nature/s of Christ. Wow. Both sides brought their A game to the debate. I must align myself with one personhood/unified nature of Christ. Brilliant.
""A"" game? no scripture quoted from anyone over a 400 year debate??
Yeah I agree with you - the Alexandrian Popes Cyril's then Dioscorus's description of Jesus Christ was one incarnate nature encompassing divinity and humanity in fullness yet Christ remain one subject and one hypostasis makes sense and easy to understand - the Romans and Constantinople Popes such as Leo's statement ARE confusing - well they said humanity and divinity are separated and and again they say they're united in one..... it's kind of hard to make sense.

Waw I Have learnt a lot from this and able to understand many things I found it difficult to understand. Than you
What you've learned is a LOT of lies!
For those who think that the Bible doesn't contradict itself, I see that there is no mention of the experience of those who were with Paul. At Acts 9:7 it states, 'And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man'.
Acts 22:9 states, 'And they that were with me saw indeed the light,... but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me'.
That's for those who insist in Biblical inerrancy.
The Bible has been handled by men who were imperfect. The Holy Ghost can get us around that by filling in the gaps.
Really? ...Not one comment in here. I don't believe it! Well researched and your presentation was very articulate capturing both sides accurately as best you could with available resources in what I would call a mess of propaganda and semantic smoke and mirrors. Kudos to you and may our Holy God bless your ministry.

If you died tonight are you 100% sure you'd go to heaven?
God loves you, and Jesus Christ lived a perfect/sinless life for you, died on the cross for your sin. And mine, and rose again the third day, victorious over death, hell, and the grave. We must believe this and acknowledge the fact that we are sinners in need of a savior. If you ask God to forgive you, and come into your heart and save you, (with a humble and contrite heart, with a repentant heart..the fact that you now see your sin as an offense to God..and you are sorry for your sin, and you want to live a life pleasing to him..but you know that on your own power you can't) he will. If this is the condition of your heart, and you have a sincere desire to trust him and receive his free gift of salvation..He will save you from eternity in hell and give you a relationship with him. You can be born again! Romans 10:13 for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans 3:10 as it is written, there is none righteous no not one.
Romans 6:23 for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (That one may not be exact word for word but it is exact in principle)
Romans 5:8-9-but God commendeth (proves, shows) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more than, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
In John 3, the Bible explains that if you have not been born again the wrath of God already abides on you.
The only thing you have to do is go to hell, is nothing because until you receive Jesus Christ as your personal savior, you're already headed there my friend. I say this not to be mean, but out of love because I don't want to see you go to hell for rejecting Jesus Christ.
Romans 3:28 says therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
That means we cannot work our way to heaven, we cannot get baptized to go to heaven, we cannot give money to the church or the pope to go to heaven.. it is only by trusting completely in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Faith in his shed blood! Faith in the fact that he rose again from the grave victorious over hell, death, and the grave.
Romans 4:24-51 -if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; who was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
You see, we are not all children of God automatically. You have to want to be, and you have to put your faith in what God says about who Jesus Christ is, and what he has done for you. We cannot have peace with God unless we trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ, and who he is as a person.
The Bible says that he is God.
Emmanuel =God with Us.
Romans 3:22 even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe.
When you trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior, (get saved by grace which is God's unmerited favor, by faith)
You are justified. That's a legal term which means his righteousness is transferred to you. Your sin has been transferred to him but in order for you to receive his righteousness it takes faith.
Romans 2:4 or despises thou The riches of his goodness and the forbearance and long-suffering; not knowing that the goodness of God lead a thee to repentance.
God's goodness allows you to see your sin through God's eyes, as you acknowledge the fact that you are a sinner and headed to hell, you will see that your sin is disgusting to God. We are an offense to God. We deserve hell all of us. This is a sobering thought, and the grace of God allows us to realize this, and gives us the right view of our sin, and the right attitude about our sin. We cannot be good on our own power we can't go to heaven on our own power, we can't turn from our sin on our own power and earn favor with God, we must ask him to forgive us and save us cuz there's nothing we can do on our own to earn favor with him.
Ephesians 2: 8,9 paraphrased- we are saved by grace through faith, it is a gift and not of works, so nobody can boast about it.
Will you receive God's free gift of salvation? Or will you reject God's gift to you? He died for the whole world but we must all personally make a decision to receive him. Not making a decision to receive him is in fact rejecting him. The Bible tells us that we are with him or against him there is no in between.
If you believe all of this with your whole heart and you are convicted of your sin.. pray this prayer.
Heavenly father, I know that I'm a sinner and I need your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross, and shed his blood for my sin. Help me to turn from my sin and please you, but I can't but by your grace. Please come into my heart and save me. Help me follow you with my whole heart.. I can do nothing without you please help me and save me. In Jesus name amen.
If your heart condition is right to be saved, you will have no problem with praying that prayer and will do it gladly. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
God says that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved...
If God convicted your heart and you experienced godly sorrow about your sin, if you wholeheartedly trust in Jesus Christ alone to save you, then you are saved / eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Bible says in 1st Peter 1 that we are kept by the power of God. Salvation is God's to give us. Not ours.. it's not ours to lose or walk away from.
In John 10 the Bible explains that we are held in both the hands of Jesus Christ and the father and that no man can pluck us out.
In John 6 Jesus Christ says whoever comes to him he will in no wise cast out (he will under no circumstances reject them).
If your heart matches your head.. and you didn't give the Lord Jesus Christ lip service.. then you can rejoice because you are saved and eternally secure. Welcome to the family of God. You can be a disobedient child, or an obedient child.
God is such a good Father, and wants to talk to us daily through the Bible and he wants to hear what we have to say through prayer.
Hebrews 11:6 (speaking of God). But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek them.

Some thoughts to please consider ; my reply to a 'priest's claims about catholocis being the only way to God. You said" 'the catholic church( of Rome) has not changed BECAUSE God has not changed." The inference is very clear, but mistaken. Why not start at the VERY beginning of the Christian gatherings , it must surely be the best model to follow. It started in Jerusalem in someone's home, then homes;it had a strong JEWISH flavour, not Gentile. James, the brother of Jesus was its first leader; he was not referred to, or treated, as a 'priest' ; rather SERVANT. Yes, that has changed dramatically , for the worst as men, like most of the Jewish high priests who sought to protect their power, pride and wealth.
But first, be sure what you mean when you mention 'church.' It has 4 meanings ; 1. A group of Christians gathered to worship God, even in an open field. 2. An empty building dedicated to worshipping God. 3 Christians gathered in such a building. 4. The world wide spiritual body of Christ.
#4 should first be understood in the terms used by Jesus, not men. Oh, I just remembered, popes can over-rule scripture. So, despite that, Jesus said he was coming for his spotless bride, his flock. In bible terminology, referring to humans, spotless means WITHOUT SIN. And 'bride' is in the SINGULAR; one flock of his many 'sheep.'
To apply this to ANY one religious, earthly, organization is sheer folly, and here is why ; to qualify for that redemption EVERY member, billions of Christains, must be SINLESS at the time of Christs return.
Again EVERY SINGLE MEMBER; if one individual is in sin ( ie, lust, anger, unforgiveness, jealously, greed etc ) the ENTIRE body will be rejected, and Christ will have to re-schedule his return.
Clearly this makes absurdity seem logical; so foolish it is.
The only correct meaning is simply this ; Jesus will, in that glorious moment, MAKE everyone of his sheep SPOTLESS; forever.
Therefore NO earthly religious organization has a monopoly on salvation, and no member can be saved because of membership to it.
