I am a practising Catholic and I have enormous respect for Calvin. A modest, charismatic, holy and practical man. A modern apostle.
unless you are roman catholic, you are not catholic. if you are roman catholic and accept the nonsense he talks about the roman catholic faith that the C of E and the millions of denominations of protestantism took and edited for their own ends to usurp wealth, whilst protestantism literally being financed by bankers to subvert the christian realm and split it
He needs to come home to the one true holy apostolic catholic church founded by Jesus Christ
I'm totally with Fr Calvin but I just choose to stay with the Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ with its erratic/heretic popes in history because it was founded by Jesus Christ! There! I would hold hands with priests like Fr Calvin.
God bless Calvin Robinson.
As a practicing catholic, why do you have to practice on small children?
Thank you for bringing to us this conversation with Rev Calvin. Truly edifying to hear about his spiritual journey and a delight to listen to a voice on current issues from one who puts God above all. Truly grateful as well to the host for steering the conversation to how it went with much respect and insight. God bless this channel and may its content such as this reach more people. What a blessing🙏.

I love this brother. He speaks very clearly. It is a shame to the Bishop of London that she refused to ordain him.
Well, he denies colonialism, disagrees with reparations for slavery, refuses to accept women as priests, is homophobic and believes that supporting Black Lives Matter is Neo-Marxist! So clearly against Christ's teaching. (And being a Brexit supporter is simply the last straw.) Glad the C Of E had good discernment.
Calvin Robinson is one of the MOST inspiring Christian voices of our day. God Bless and Keep, Calvin Robinson
As a South African with roots and branches in the UK and Canada, I thoroughly enjoy listening to Calvin's common sense.
We feel for you with your unclean heritage. As it says in Numbers 24:7 "They of the many countries will not be permitted the ride of ascension"
@@BeobachterofTruthWho is we? You sound like a heretic cult! The Church of England is an Apostolic Church but you wouldn't know what that means!
A requirement for listening to Calvin! Jeez!
@@BeobachterofTruth What the… are you saying.
Great to hear voices like these in the evil times in which we live. Maranatha!
Excellent Interview . I am a Practicing Catholic in Sydney . If only our Priests could articulate the same sentiments as Fr Calvin - we would not be in such a mess today . Thank you Rev Calvin - for being a clear voice for " Reason , Faith & Ultimate Truth - God Alone " . Your visual presence on social media & GB News is very important to hear with Clarity " God's Word " . God Bless you & your Ministry .
You are no practicing Catholic; you may be practising....
@@jimmys6566 Continue to finish your sentences - so that you are clear in your accusations . If you are Catholic - you better speak as clear as Our Blessed Lord - in the market place or else you may become an " empty Gong " ( St Paul's words )
My dictionary implies that ‘Catholic’ means ‘open to all’. The problem is with Roman Catholicism (the Anglican Church being a junior branch).
Calvin is confused… e.g., Where in the Bible does it say that women cannot speak in Church?
Where, in the Bible, does it say that priests are necessary? (I believe that it actually encourages the opposite).
A church is not a building and bishops were delegates directed by adherents.
Many people are unaware that Christianity was taken to Rome by royalty of Britain.
Linus, first bishop of Rome, was a Briton.
They were apostolic Christians, whose beliefs were gradually distorted in Rome.
The Roman Church was a continuation of the empire.
St Morgan, a.k.a., Pelagius, had his reputation trashed by Augustine of Hippo.
Austin (known to Rome as ‘Saint Augustine) was not a friend to the Britons.
Jesus taught us ALL to say, ‘OUR Father….’.
This is the difference between the British Church and the Church of England.
P.s… C.S.Lewis knew his history.
Wow, I could listen to Calvin Robinson all day, he’s enlightening honest, and, most of all believable.
Yes, but only if you are an oaf.
Love this! Calving preaches like a lion. Wonderful!
Really? Calvin means nothing. He has no values except blind obedience to dogma.

@@leonharrison800 All that matters if that you follow the correct advice, whether you spend years philosophising it yourself or if you obtain it from the wisdom of the book makes little difference

Calvin is just another control Freak with no values worth defending. Someone addicted to dogma.
Father Calvin, you speak so much truth, bless you , it is so beneficial for my soul. I need to hear you.
Be careful. Deuteronomy 14:3 "Beware the undressed flocking leader, for he shall speak to you"
@@BeobachterofTruth Gosh, you're everywhere 😆 Would you not go find an interesting hobby, stamp collecting or train spotting or whatever, and stop bothering us.
@@johnharkness6304 It appears somewhat typical for certain people with their private indiscretions to want to silence others.
@@BeobachterofTruth Apologies, I didn't mean to silence you, just to kindly request that you find some hobby, that's all, for your own good. And stop pestering Catholics who are trying (not always succeeding) to follow the serious business of living according to their Faith in Christ.
Well said,as always, Calvin is a great man and servant of God.
I can only reiterate the previous comment. After attending an Anglican church for over 40 years, and then hearing the bishop's decision at the General Synod in February we felt, with heavy hearts, we had to leave and now attend a free church. At the end of the day we are Christian not Anglican. Thanks Calvin.
Have you been to Latin Holy Mass? It brought me back to the Church, and God's grace.

Hi SallyWood. You made a very wise decision to leave the Church of England. The Church of England has become a cosy club of bishops with all their palaces and privileges. There are more bishops now in the Church of England than in Victorian times ! The Church of England has become an administrative top-heavy and irrelevant organisation ("jobs for the boys") that is financially sinking and in the sensible assessment of the population in general quite irrelevant. What was expect from an organisation that was originally set up as a result of King Henry VIII's nuptual problems and tiff with Pope Clement. The persecution of catholic martyrs after the Act of Sepremacy 1534 by the Church of England was utterly disgraceful. The Church of England as an organisation is a cruel political creation, lacking in godliness and sincerely. It should be cast out as a sinning organisation and left to wither and die. As Archbishop George Carey pointed out: " Church of England has one generation before it faces oblivion. The sooner the Church of England is wiped out the better. A better church needs to take over and do God's work diligently.
@@thewiseperson8748 You can criticise the problems of the CofE, but dont start whining about the 16th century. You Papists slaughtered entire peoples instead of accepting reform. One of the big reasons for the 16th century reforms was that they wanted to read Scripture in English. More tortured and killed them for it. What language do read Scripture in?
The CofE is just an institution, Anglicanism will survive beyond it.
And what has struck us will infiltrate the RCC too as can be seen with the Synodal Way in Germany. There will be a gay affirming Pope soon enough and unlike Anglicans, you believe the institution is infallible.
Calvin is a breath of fresh air!! i cant bring myself to go to our local church Waltham Abbey essex, because of what they are teaching, i fear it will be a Mosque in the future
You do realise a mosque is for followers of Islam and Islam literally means 'follower of Jesus'
Spoken with all the hatred of a true Christian. Well done!
@@criticalthinker8007You do realise that much of Islamic doctrine was 'borrowed' from Christianity, but ultimately, Islam was created to oppose/compete with Christianity.
You are trying to simplify things to deceive. Don't try to portray the two as the same, where the two are, from conception of Islam, in direct contest.
All that Christianity and Islam have in common is that they both manipulate pious people to their own end - absolute power, claiming to speak with the absolute authority of God.
How can a church accumulate such wealth, if supposed to be lifting the people from suffering?
Desperation is the fast lane to evil, precisely that which the church is supposed to combat!
Deceivers!
Islam looks to present as similar, to then establish as superior, and therefore subvert allegiance to another of the same type - a corrupt organisation seeking to control and profit.
Christ, a prophet to Islam, Son of God/of God/God to Christianity, is described differently because of the difference in interpretation/belief.
If belief is the target, how can you honestly portray Islam and Christianity as the same?
We all have our own opinions/interpretations.
I am not seeking to push my opinions, but will always voice against those who appear to be pushing an agenda.
Don't follow me, but dont follow him/her either.
Learn more, and make your own mind up! I have done m7ch reading on the subject, but others have done more. Preying on the ignorant is predatory!
You are accountable for your own choices.
'He made me do it' is not a defence!

Afternoon smile has arrived.....thank you.
Awesome video !. Thank you so much god bless you both. Calvin is so lovely to listen to his truth and faith 👍🏻👍🏻
Standing up for the truth is hard. We need to pray for Calvin.
I’m a practising Catholic. Our bishops are invisible. I’m very worried about the Pope and the apparent infiltration by evil forces. There were 12 apostles and one of those was rotten - so even if my worst fears are realised it will not deflect me from belief in God - it will not stop me going to mass and saying my prayers especially the rosary. I respect Calvin. He is standing up and being counted. I wish he becomes a Catholic but I’m relaxed and hope he continues to be led by the Holy Spirit.
Remember it is we who are the church.
@@Angelica-lo5qs The early church fathers started the mass. It has been modified over the centuries.
The rosary is a collection of prayers :- the Our Father was taught by Jesus ; the Hail Mary is based on the words of the Angel Gabriel and St Elisabeth as reported in Luke’s gospel. The Glory Be - is a typical prayer praising the Trinity.
@@Angelica-lo5qs Early church fathers got the teachings of Christ from the apostles. That’s good enough for me.
@@Angelica-lo5qsI'll tell you which fathers. St. Clement who is mentioned in philippians 4:3. Barnabas who's mentioned in Acts 9 and 11. St. Ignatius who was taught by the apostle John. Polycarp who was the bishop of Smyrna mentioned in Revelation 1. That's just a few. They knew the apostles and were taught by them. Any other questions??
@@Angelica-lo5qs my friend the apostles taught the didache which is a first century catechism tool. Acts 2:41. Secondly father is a biblical term. Acts 7:2, I John 2:13-14
May God bless you both. I pray that God may guard your heart Calvin.
Isn't that rather a waste of time?
Calvin we need you n the one Holy apostolic church, you are articulate,, cool and so needed in the Catholic Church, Doug Canada
As one of the 1.2 billion global Catholic family in Christs one true church the Holy Roman Catholic Apostolic Church
I think I speak for the the vast majority when saying we have huge respect for this great man..
“Something of a controversialist “? It says the state this country is in that to be a Bible believing Christian these days is to be labeled “controversial”!
And "outspoken" according to Robin. Robin has lost his critical thinking.
Thank you for speaking out boldly Calvin!
"Outspoken," you say! Not in any way outspoken but simply proclaiming the Gospel.
happy to know that Calvin prays the Holy Rosary daily
For me I receive Great comfort and encouragement from your words Calvin. I thank God that Truth which is Jesus Christ still has a voice for those who know and Love Him. I pray for your protection on your continuing journey to proclaim The Father's Love for the world in His Son Jesus Christ. May The Lord make His Face to shine upon you and bring you peace. E.John.B

TOTAL RESPECT AND ADMIRATION FOR CALVIN
I am a practicing catholic to total respect for this man.
We now refer to the Church of England as the Pagan C of E. I bet all those long dead pagan vikings are now laughing in their graves at how the worm has turned.
I know a Anglican who calls the Archibishop of Canterbury the Archdruid of Canterbury.
How long have you had this gambling problem with failed bets?
@@capri2673 He's probably gay
I love the idea of the Pagan C of E. Should havebeen like that from the beginning, it would make worship more open to everybody instead of the superstitious old doctrines we're lumbered with.
@@rikmayes I don't. Here in Portland there's a gigantic contigent of pagans and witches. I agree with most of their poly ticks but in the end they just make my life miserable. The rcc did a city wide exorcism a couple years ago and it didn't work.
Outstanding. God bless ✝
great interview, remarkable man
If you like Calvin, you’ll really appreciate the Homilies of Fr. Mark Beard who was tragically killed in a traffic accident on August 2nd.
His homilies and Masses are on RUclips.
His honesty and passion in teaching God’s truth has renewed my faith.
Big fan of Calvin!
An excellent question and answer session! Robin is asking all the right questions that someone like Calvin needs to be able to answer. Robins approach is very similar to that of the interview panels for ordination. As a semi-retired English clergyman in the CofE I had always thought of myself as a reformed catholic although, unlike Calvin, I do not have a problem with the term 'Protestant'. And it isn't Calvin who is being controversial. It is the message of Jesus Christ that people find controversial.
The problem with controversy in the 21st century is that whilst it garners tons of attention, it has zero resolution. Millenials etc, are used to this. If Jesus and Calvin are controversial, they are not going to have an impact at all on the younger generations. You need to concentrate on relevancy, and prove to the younger generations that Jesus is relevant in their lives. They respond better to messages of love and tolerance than fears of damnation, btw the former is a perfectly reasonable approach to the bible. The ones screaming the loudest are the fire and brimstone people. The "fallen folks" are just going to flip the channel to tiktok.
Also, I notice, esp from this interview, that those screaming the loudest for a more orthodox turn in the liturgy seem to be more worried about their own salvations than the salvations of others (the worries about the turn to the left being projections of their own unconscious guilt). Those with strong faith aren't worried about dealing with sinners and worldly things, even in sacred spaces.
@8818... There are many protestant Catholics but the word protestant is divisive if you claim to be Catholic like Fr Calvin. He has settled nicely.
Fully agree. The Rev Calvin even looks the part as 'Calvin the Clown'.
@@BeobachterofTruth Their preoccupation with the LGBQTA+ stuff borders on monomania.
Thank you for your courage to proclaim The TRUTH.God Bless His Holy City Jerusalem E.John B.
Fr Calvin is so good to hear from. An excellent interview both!
Calvin is a real clergyman in a world of phoneys in dogcollars.
God Grant Him The Voice To Keep Us All Sane 🙏
I was an Anglican, albeit an occasional Sunday morning worshipper, but over the past 20 years, the Church of England, has become so left wing and so dismissive of the traditional teachings of the church, that I became totally disillusioned. Recently, I decided to move to the Roman Catholic Church as I felt the Church of England had lost its way by becoming an religious organisation which promoted Neo Marxist ideas.
Welcome home to the one true Church.
You have so many wonderful discoveries and experiences ahead of you.
May I offer a suggestion?
Please do not say 'Roman' Catholic.
The correct name is CATHOLIC, and it does not need any prefixes.
Why?
Henry VIII, and his reforming cohorts, liked to consider themselves still true to the Church, but they revolted against the authority of the Bishop of Rome.
To identify those Catholics who stayed true to the faith (most of the country in fact), the derogatory terms of 'Roman', 'papist', 'Romanist'... were coined, and, unfortunately, even some Catholics today, mostly in English-speaking countries, think that the Church is called "Roman Catholic".
The Catholic Church is comprised of several RITES, all originating in the early years of Christianity.
One of these RITES is the Latin Rite, but this is frequently, and mistakenly, called "Roman Catholic".
You are a Latin Rite Catholic.
So am I.
The one and only Church that Our Lord Jesus established was already being called the Catholic Church by the year 107AD.
Catholic is Catholic is Catholic is Catholic...
and being Catholic means accepting the authority the Pope, the Bishop of Rome.
@@alhilford2345 Thank you, I stand corrected. You right to assert that we should simply refer to the Catholic faith as the Catholic Church, without the prefix.
Most denominations of churches have bended from truth now, to suit Satan. Feminists, militant homosexuals inc other immoralities, “climate activists”, thinking there were more than two genders agenda etc have mocked God
I find it amazing when a spiritual leader stays true to God’s word, and people call it controversial. All of us should be calling it faithful because he is truly a man after gods own heart.
@@Angelica-lo5qs you would not be asking this unless you knew that Catholics have a different take on John 3-3. I could elaborate further but you already know what they are. I was born and raised Roman Catholic in America. At 25 I gave my life to Christ at Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa California. Was baptized at pirates cove. I have attended non denominational churches since then. In my 3 decades in Law Enforcement I attended many funerals for fallen officers. Most, surprisingly at Catholic Churches. The reverence for God that Catholics have is beautiful. We can focus on how different denominations think or we can come together on what we have in common. In the west People are falling away from Christ in droves. Less than 3% of college aged kids know Christ. Do you really want to pick apart faiths that have a belief in Christ and read the Bible as the inerrant word of God while the Progressive Woke Church is serving up Cafeteria Christianity and destroying Gods word? I hope not. Father Robinson is in my opinion making a huge impact for all of us Christians. Speaking truth as courageously as he does is rare. His impact on me undeniable. I’ve become a stronger Christian since I found him. How about that? An Evangelical bible reading Christian becoming a stronger Christian by listening to an Anglo Catholic Priest.
Do you think Jesus wants us to squabble over the small things or pick up our cross and serve him? Today I see Catholics in America reading their bibles., bringing others to Christ, and loving the Lord. There are some differences, I’ll acknowledge that, but Father Robinson is one cool cat, who loves the Lord our God. I think our Lord, the king of kings, the great I Am is using him to wake up what’s left of Christianity in the west. If you have other thoughts I’m open to discussing. Gods Blessings and Godspeed.
@@Angelica-lo5qs Yes, but see my long reply.
This powerful interview should, in my view, be shown in every Christian church in the western world. Why is the Anglican Church destroying itself? In a simple term: Fear of man.
Politics replaced Christianity....now cultural engineering is replacing politics.
It's putin's fault
But nothing will replace God.
It was good to have orthodoxy articulated.
I respect this man .and would vocally support .even as an advocate of free speech ..he is well balanced in his opinions .
I like this Mansfield man, but then, I'm a Mansfield man of 70 years. Keep spreading the true word. Peace be unto you.
"they are ordaining Heritics"
Nothing keeps me away from the Anglican communion like this.
Brilliant interview! Praise God!
The interviewer asks fantastic questions.
Excellent interview with Calvin. Thank you for your articulate strength in defending the word of God and His Blessed Mother Mary. I am a traditional Catholic.
I think you mean ‘Roman’ Catholic.
I'm from the Philippines, and I 'm PROUD to be ANGLICAN, and still be ANGLICAN no matter what 👍. because ANGLICAN here in the PHILIPPINES makes you feel like one FAMILY. and still growing in Numbers
Anglican church outside of the West is more traditional, keeping old values.
I remember praying from an early age, it was a personal relationship, albeit in my mind. In those days I considered God as my friend, that is until I heard the Gospel at age 26, and followed Jesus as my Lord (I'm now nearly 76).
Great Commentary.
Brother Calvin, a good witness of Our Lord and His Church as always. Glory to God.
Dream on. Maybe one day you will wake up. Hebrews 11 36: "Some faced jeers and flogging, and even drains overfloweth"
@@BeobachterofTruth ok
@@BeobachterofTruth i really do not know what you mean, but ok.
Calvin loves Our Lord and is not protesting but trying to fallow ( like i hope all of us) the calling of Our Lord to Hos Church. So even we are not in the same “domination
“ i give Glory to Our Lord for planting Truth in his Heart.
And Yes! i am a Romen Catholic 🥰
I have a great deal of respect for this brother. I don’t agree with everything he has said, but I believe that’s some of the beauty of the Anglican Church. We are allowed to disagree on non-essentials while still maintaining fellowship and brotherhood in Christ
Brilliant Calvin
Excellent talk He'll be a Roman Cathollc at some point He is now but doesn't realise it
You are thinking it will take time for him to come to terms with his sexual desires?
@@BeobachterofTruth No idea what yyou're ttalking about I'm thinking from what he said he believes he's allready a Roman Catholic in all but name
@@vincentswift7:
Beo....whatsisname seems to be obsessed with sex.
It's the only thing he ever posts about...
Ignore!
He’s so normal, we need more of him. I don’t forgive my mum and dad slipping to false teachers. If society had made home educated normal until starting secondary school , we would have agendas less likely invade the church/synod
If the church becomes too worldly where will people who want to escape the world and it's values turn for asylum.
I think Rev. Calvin is a brave and honest person, (though I'm definitely Protestant and disagree with Marian theology.) God looks upon our hearts and sees the love of Christ wherever it exists.
God only has one church...one body of believers...His children.
Perhaps the old institutions that we created...are no longer the solution...they have become the problem.
Time to step out, before we all become institutionalised into redundant thinking.
Time to allow God to reformat his people.
Apocalypse now
In reality all the evidence is that God is somewhat lazy in this regard.
@@BeobachterofTruth...Lazy In which regard?
Clearly you are quick to accuse God of being lazy...
Lets assume there is a chance that God just might be aware of your thinking...
If so....I wonder what he's thinking of you?
@@Angelica-lo5qs But you have overlooked John 3:8. Jesus was clearly a climate denier, and ignorant of basic meteorology.
Agree with and love hearing Calvin's interpretations of truth in the modern world.I wonder how he thinks of the 10 commandments expressed from a Catholic ,King James,Geneva Bible,Garima Gospels and modern interpretations point of view.
As a South African Protestant, I have so much respect for Calvin and his views. And I 100% agree with him.
God bless you Calvin. Keep on Christian soldier!!!
Another Catholic shouting out for Rev Robinson!
When I accepted God wholeheartedly and consciously 2 years ago, after years of doubts and describing myself as agnostic, I was wondering what church I should go to, as Catholic by birth.
In the end I decided that I really love Catholic traditions and how we celebrate the liturgical year. And luckily my local church has decent priests who challenge their flock by the standards of the Bible - none of the new agy, hippie Christianity!
I sm Orthodox snd what you sre saying is exactly what I would say. Gid bless!
Calvin i feel this so strongly. Institutions i have grown up with ive wanted to steer clear from. I too speak to god personally and privately. I realise even though my denial of him. I realise now he has always been with me. ❤ im a gamer too Calvin x
And even Enlightenment principles, which replaced Christian ones, as Calvin says, were a metamorphosis of Christian principles.
School assemblies fed me spiritually.
What piece is that playing in the intro?
Calvin is a great force for good in the UK. If he were to enter the Catholic Church the Catholic Church would probably try to shut him down as well. Because the hierarchy, even of the Catholic Church now seems to be afraid to preach repentance from sin.
For GAFCON please refer to Michael Nazir Ali
Imagine it being controversial to stand up in a church snd declare biblical truth.
Very nicely put. I will use that...and often. Peace be unto you.
Calvin should be the archbishop of Canterbury. The current incumbent is a non believer, a heretic.
Really?? Evidence?? or do you always write people off so readily? throwing stones comes to mind.
????? ....... well?
@@kevinskippon9927 He hardly stands alone with that description of the Archenemy of Canterbury. Peace and good will.

The CofE's decline was cemented with the passing of the NHS.
Rather than seeing this as a challenge, it founded zero new mendicant orders of freelance doctors/medics.
One could say much the same for the 1912 Liberal reforms (proto-Welfare state, to simplify).
And this refers to only the 20th century.
CHURCH FALLS AWAY BEFORE SECOND COMING--BIBLE
I believe that to , I believe it Certainly has But could you Embellish your thoughts on It Please..?..
Why Marian devotions? Show me one example biblically or historically? If it is not there (I have an MA in classical history; while that means little it at least shows I’m coming to this outside a sense of presentism or traditionalism) then why maintain if it has pagan roots? Legit question please correct me if I’m in err, but I’m hardly uninformed
oh right i get that now, im anglican, but i practice mostly Catholic, i pray the rosary, and believe in mother Mary and the saints, and the only reason i dont go full on Catholic is because i really dont trust the power in Rome, they tell you what to think and if you dont, you get dammed, and to me That's wrong, but i came to that conclusion on my own, and didn't really understand why, but to say its the English form of Catholicism, make more sense to me, a catholic with a small c 😁.... i get it now Rev calvin, thanks....
That view is no defense against relativism. English Catholicism is experienced authentically only within Roman Catholicism. Anything else is mere imitation.
@@OUTBOUND184 lol, i dont need a defence because to believe what you do, is no longer English catholicism is it, and im British, so its a cultural thing too...your comment reminds me only of one thing, how each denomination always ends up fighting each other, when in fact that time is over, our churches are being taken over by the wicked woke, and we should put aside these differences and fight the true enemy, this corruption of the true word of God, and not each other. it's called divide and conquer, one day we might get that, but i doubt it... 😁

A a schoolboy, All schools had prayers in assembly each morning. How many schools do this now?
Only fee paying schools.
It's strange people identify themselves as a certain denomination other than as Christian. It seems it's more important to identify to a church to a certain tradition a certain doctrine than to Christ. 'Church' has become an idol, and that idol will be removed. A time is coming when those 'churches' will not exist and only those who have built a relationship with Christ will stand firm till the end. It will soon not matter what denomination you belong to. It will be are you of Christ or are you not..
Human beings are sinners, we love our sin. This is why most people go to Hell ;-(
See you there.
How can you possibly believe such a bizarre idea? And please don't just say cos it's in the bible or Jesus said so.
Unfortunately, William is correct!
@@kevinskippon9927:
You're joking...
Right?
@@alhilford2345 For liberals, only lived experience is valid. And they have a point. But scripture does often confirm lived experience. I have met Jesus in person, but my lived experience confirms what Jesus said to me.

Is Calvin the Apostle Paul of today? God is raising people for this end time that won’t compromise.
CofE has one purpose, to prop up the unholy class system we have in the UK.
St.Peter looks forward to greeting those that live a lavish lifestyle...
Saying "I'm a Christian, but I do not venerate the Theotokos Mary" is akin to " I'm a Christian, but I do not believe in the Church".
Calvin is as close to being Catholic as I. But let me explain Why I could never be a Protestant and embrace its 16th century doctrines-
Yes or NO questions for reformed protestantism:
1. Can you name anything in its 2000yr history of Christianity that was ever achieved by Jesus or his disciples by faith alone?
2. Where does it say in your Bible you are saved by faith 'alone" and can never be unsaved? Hint Rom 2:6, Matt 16 27, 10:33, Rev 22:12
3. a) Does everyone have freewill to come to God and be justified and b) are those deemed lost (by John Calvin's fickle diety), eternally lost?
4/. Do you believe Scripture that we ALL will be judged according to our works Matt 16 27, 25:34-, Rom 2:6?
5. Do u define urself as an "elect" to have an exemption in needing to work out ur Salvation with fear and trembling or persevering to the very end as Paul in 2 Tim 4?
6) do 75 warnings in Scripture about how a righteous person can lose their salvation apply to those who think they are once saved always saved?
7) does the word Faith appear at all in the Sermon on the Mount for all those who r told will inherit the kingdom of God? cf. Matt 25
8). Do those who are made "clean" and attached to the True Vine have to remain there producing good fruit, to be saved?
9) Will God remain in you if u don't freely remain in him, or could He disown someone who was never "owned" by him in the first place ? Matt 10.33
10) both Luther in his book Bondage of the Will and Calvin in his institutes deny man has freewill. If before the creation of the world, God chose whom he will save or deny, would that bring Him any glory?
11) Jesus tells us the greatest comma nondment is to love God, ourselves and our neighbour. Is love possible at all, if we are denied free will to choose who to love?
12) is Jesus the only 'mediator' between God and man? Whatabout if we add the rest of the verse "and saviour of mankind"?
13) doesnt scripture tell us we have a guardian angel to protect and guide us against the devil prowling around like a ravenous lion?
14) didn't God use angels as His messengers some 24 times in Scripture? If some of those messenwere warnings sign

A protestant protestant. Or pick a bishop. I enjoyed listening to the interview. And I listened with mixed responses. Deacon Robinson covers the basics well and shows a clear understanding of the current battle between good and evil. Several things struck me as ringing false. American politics. The evangelical right in America is led by a politician, rather than the opposite. And the politician is not a man of God. That's generally true. Some politicians are offended by the connection of their denominations with current political leaders in the Republican Party. And if abortion is the central moral issue, the Libertarian Party in the US is a week reed for explaining the affinity between right Christianity and the political right.
Pick a bishop. Why would I accept Deacon Robinson's authority to speak for Christianity? He's not a bishop or pope. He's not a theologian recognized by any major Christian denomination. The separatists from the Roman and Anglican churches claim the rightness of their views versus those of their church's leaders. This is a serious question for me. As I agree with most of what Deacon Robinson said, I'm asking these questions and making these points for myself, for my understanding.
19:15 Calvin said: "if we achnowledge that Christ is a part of the Trinity."
My reply: This is contrary to the Trinitarian creeds which state that God does not have "parts" i.e. 4th point of the Athanasian Creed which states: "not dividing the substance." Sadly, Calvin has made a mistake. I myself evangelise cults, espeically Jehovah's Witnesses and I have almost 2,700 telephone discussions with Jehovah's Witnesses uploaded to RUclips.
Calvin is a conventional Christian, why did you describe him as controversial.
What is the point of denying papal authority if you don not have any doctrinal disagreements with him? It makes no sense.
What is the point of accepting Papal Authority if you are committed to any sincere Faith in God of any kind? Papism is centered on the Pope of Rome, the Pope claims to be the Head of the Church, so all Religious Authority is the Pope of Rome. If someone is committed to Scripture and is Baptized into Christ and is into the worship of the Father, through the Son, in and by the Power of the Holy Ghost. What is the point of rejecting Christ as the Head of the Church forsaking your Baptism? What is the point of rejecting the Holy Ghost and replacing Him with the Pope of Rome? Why would anyone who wishes to center his life on God the Father as his ultimate Authority reject God in favor of the Pope of Rome?
To be a Christian is to accept Christ as the Head of the Church, to be a Christian is to worship Christ because He is the Head of the Church. To be a Papist is to make an Italian Prince the Head of your Church.
@@adolphCat Chill man. I'm not arguing with you. I'm a Lutheran. But I'm a Lutheran because I don't agree with the doctrines of Rome. These english ritualists basically have a roman-catholic theology, but in combination with a navel-gazing english village mentality , where the King is considered to be the best head of the church for some incomprehensible reason. I mean atleast the pope is an educated theologian, and not an expert in fox hunting and such. I guess these young guys just want a chance to get married first. If it weren't for that they whould have converted a long time ago.
@@LutheranIdentity-uj8yk I believe you are being way too harsh! Christian Kings be they Roman Catholic, or Lutheran, or Anglican, or Orthodox, or Oriental Orthodox have always be considered clergy to some extent and not regular layman. Actually, after the French Revolution the Powerof the Pope of Rome was greatly multiplied because Catholic Kings lost the ability to defend their national Churches from the Papacy and much of the Western Liturgical heritage was lost as the Vatican imposed the Liturgy of the Roman Court on numerous National Roman Catholic Churches something they could have never done in the days when Kings together with their Bishops defended their National Catholic Churches from the Vatican. Remember, all 7 of the early Ecumenical Councils were called my Eastern Roman Monarchs, 6 Emperors and 1 Empress. This is of Ancient origin Kings like King David of Judah and Israel because of their Anointing with Holy Oil practiced some of the prerogatives of the clergy. This was true no matter where Christianity spread Ethiopia, Armenia, East Roman Empire, West Roman Empire, France, Holy Roman Empire, Sweden, England etc. Certainly, no King or Prince, or Bishop is Head of the Church. Yet, this does not mean that regional Bishops, and Prices have no authority over their regional Churches.
The Confessional Lutheran Church is a Liturgical Church, Anglicans are a Liturgical Church, Roman Catholics Historically are a Liturgical Church, however in our day Roman Catholics generally have a low Church Protestant Liturgy. Many Lutheran Churches have a more Traditional Liturgy than most European Roman Catholic Churches have in our day. The Ancient Autocephalous Catholic Churches of Ireland and England were fully Catholic without being Roman Catholic. It seems you have an inadequate understanding of Christianity before the French Revolution and the Secular State and a Vatican that was unimposed in the West as a center of Catholic Unity. Catholic and Roman Catholic are not synonyms. St. Patrick was Catholic, but was he Roman Catholic? The Ancient Saints of England were Catholic, but were they Roman Catholic? Herr Dr. Luther considered himself to be fully Catholic, but certainly not Roman Catholic. I know of some Roman Catholic Converts to Lutheranism that testify that they are more fully in the Catholic Tradition as Confessional Lutherans than they ever were when they belonged to the Roman Catholic Church.
The Creed in the Roman Catholic, Uniate, Lutheran, Orthodox, and Anglican Churches clearly states, "We believe in One, Holy, Catholic, and, Apostolic Church."
I too trained to become an Anglican priest at St Stephen's House - but probably at least 30 years prior to Calvin.
I enjoyed this interview and I have watched a few of his talks, not least his Oxford Union Debate speech.
He's obviously a nice chap with a big heart. He's intelligent, erudite and sincere and passionate (I think). His calm and straighforward approach is very convincing and it feels as though he is skilled in lulling his audience into a false sense of faith and truth - i.e. HIS faith and truth as HE understands it - which, of course, he will defend as being the revealed truth of God.
I wonder what he learnt at St Stephen's House and how much of the more challenging theology and scriptural exegesis he just ignored.
I feel a little sad that St Stephen's House is still turning out some priests with such limited theological acumen and such a shallow interpretation of the scriptures.
Although I doubt it very much, I am prepared to admit that Calvin might be right and I wrong - it's possible . But I bet he would not say the same.
He actually says he could be wrong.
I haven't picked that up. Please could you tell me where and when he said that. @@threelilies9453
Speaking of Gafcon in the UK and the FCofE, you know what i think it needs, its need more promotion, people do want to stay true to the teachings, but have no clue where to go if they leave the CofE, they probably dont even know these churches even exist, true there isnt many at the moment but they are there. for instance where i live, there is one in Morecambe, one in Blackburn, one in Accrington, and Sheffield, Manchester and the Wirral, and i think one in York.. but unless you know they actually exist, people dont know to go looking. FCofE needs to promote itself better.
Your comment was uninteresting. Try and jazz it up next time.
@@BeobachterofTruth lol... Yawn. you really must try harder matey, i get bored easily
@@simtime7591 It is believable that you get bored easily but why bore everyone else?
Cashin Robberson did he say or is it me ?
I see an army of Catholics here, thinking Calvin should covert to Catholicism! Calvin is a Refomed Christian! The 39 Articles of the Anglican Church stand as a bulwark against the errors of the Roman Church! It doesn't matter that the leaders of Anglican Church are corrupted by politics of our time! The Church at local level still does its job of teaching the children in C of E schools. And is the centre of community at local level.
Why would anyone care about church when new generation is abandoned to the mistakes of the older gen.
The real problem really is the woke Welby. He would destroy even the Catholic Church and empty the pews of congregations.
