Our church just bought a former eub building. It’s a large campus with more than 20k sqft. I’m working to learn more about our the history of the eub, and early united Methodist church history.

if God wills in us to do His work, do you think we rendered some of our free will once we enter justification or what is commonly called being saved? My thoughts: salvation is a covenant we entered with God. once God opens our understanding by grace, if we exert our free will to accept His gift He justifies us. in such transaction now we have rendered some of our free will to Him. your thoughts would be appreciated.

This was great. Very informative and I love all of the pictures of the revivals and revivalists. I'd love to know who to create videos like these.

Wendy, there is only one gospel, the Gospel of Jesus, not a social gospel. Jesus purpose was to seek and save the lost. We know He had the power to make life comfortable ,for all the poor . He did not do it. I agree, we can’t dismiss our responsibility to have compassion and help the poor, but priority #1 Is about stopping souls from spending eternity , in Hell. ( Poor or rich!,) Changing the priory , can lead to the warning of Galatians 1: 6-10 . We are promised in 2 Chronicles 7:14 -16 We are commanded I Matthew 28:17-20 We are given the answer Act 2: 32-39/ If we get this these right , most of our social problems will be taken care of. Governments have promised Social Priority #1 and got millions murdered. Please consider the order of authority. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Not Society!!

Thank you very much. Amen. I found the true teaching of John Wesley.

Excellent; thank you, P.W.

Am Loving is so so much this is helpful to me as a Church Leader to change people's thinking on Christianity which should be more than just like a religious many God bless you

When I watch a video like this I find myself asking, "What would the world be like if there were more people like Professor Wendy in it"?

Jesus was CONCEIVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.....Her Greek name is SOPHIA....WISDOM....Our SPIRITUAL MOTHER. Jesus with wisdom of his spiritual mother dispensed the wisdom and partnered with MARY MAGDALENE to deliver the wisdom..Christianity is dysfunctional when reducing God into 1 dimensional male God. Nothing can be revealed without the FEMININE FACE OF GOD......SOPHIA.

Very helpful overview...Many thanks 😊

Anyone else. think that she sounds, exactly like the Vegan Teacher!

Thanks. Great work

Very interesting

Thank you so much for making this video! I've always been very interested in this topic in particular, and find it somewhat difficult to find information on it as history is only a hobby and not something I have studied.

Where does it say starve your neighbors and use brute force to make the bourgeois impossible?

Very informative, thanks! I did not understand revivals in the context of the Awakenings. I have attended Methodist holiness camps but I did not know their origins until now.

Thank you Professor Wendy!👍🏻

The only counter that I have is that the Social Gospel was a direct affront against Social Darwinism, which was used to promote the corrupt status quo. Otherwise, great video!!

Once upon a time, there was a man called Jesus who actually treated women like people. Being the only (literally) man who didn’t treat women like shit, he gained a lot of well deserved female followers. During this time period the Romans (who were a bunch of glorified hateful savages) was afraid and hated Christianity, and one of their major campaigns against Christianity is that Jesus’s Christianity doesn’t treat women like shit meaning there’s something seriously wrong with Christianity. Then comes “former” Roman savage Paul. He effectively somewhat pacified Christianity for the Greco-Roman male dominated society by “putting women in their place” by kicking them out of leadership roles and telling them to shut up in general. Instead of bailing immediately after major warning sign number 1 the early Christian women idiotically allowed this to happen. Once Christianity popularity grew and Constantine got a hold of it, the once treating women like people message that won women into becoming Christianity’s biggest supporters now is another hateful patriarchal religion who despised women, and yet instead of doing the 0.1% decent thing to do and simply just leave women the hell alone if they can’t stand them; they instead promote hateful angry man owns/marries dumb subservient woman marriages, wasting that poor dummy life being with his angry ass. This Union is basically a union of the woman being turned into a breeding machine so that those babies add to the male dominated world empire. They’ll (both older and modern Christians) will try to sugar coated and say that they are promoting families, but no it’s just them trying to use women to build their power as always that’s why they are so aggressively involved in controlling women’s reproduction systems, just read history. My thing is why would women stay in a religion that lost its charm that garnered women to follow it in the first place?

Thank you!!

So, you're saying pietism is a GOOD thing? It is pietism (the personalization of your faith and abdication of any Christian moral responsibilities in the civic realm or culture) which has wrought serious destruction on western civilization over the last 200 years (paganism is always looming to fill the void). This has led to thousands of American churches failing to properly teach Biblical morality with the intent of the people engaging the culture through politics, education, the arts, etc. Churches no longer talk about what's right and wrong and then expect congregants to act accordingly. I do not believe pietism has been a good thing. Personal piety, yes. Collective pietism, no.

thanks teach

this is what western politicians have taught to muslim extriemists to make their sharia law.!!!!!!!

Well done ! I am studying this topic for a research paper. You have presented me with some great ideas to delve into. Thank you

I have just finished reading Mary and Early Christian Women: Hidden Leadership. The fundamental message that God allows women to be religious leaders who preach and give direction to men is true and deeply needed now in the Catholic/Christian faith. I wrote this review from the idea of writing a letter to the author. The best part of this book comes when the author’s (Ally Kateusz) hard work and courage reveal the long “hidden” stories of Christianity’s early female apostles (Romans 16:7) and deacons (Romans 16:1-2 and 1 Timothy 3:11). However, I would warn the author (and the readers) to have more faith in the actual Bible and to be more careful to separate the “wheat” from the “chaff” (Matthew 13:24-32 and Luke 3:17) in terms of the extra-biblical sources. Spoiler alert! This book does not prove that women have ever received what the Catholic Church terms the “ministerial priesthood”. In my opinion, she does prove that the Catholic Church’s current conventional narrative (CCC 1577) about how the apostles only chose men as their ordained collaborators and only had men for liturgical service is false. She proves this in the chapter on women preachers and baptizers. However there is a conspicuous lack of narrative evidence that the women apostles Nino Thecla, and Irene ever conferred the sacrament of Confirmation (Acts 8: 14-17 and Acts 19:1-7) or Order (Acts 6:-1-7, Acts 13: 1-3) To be fair there are some excellent novels and histories (2nd century) based on earlier oral traditions that were written down by early Christians. Unfortunately, later church authorities downgraded women's leadership and these true stories that were handed down from generation to generation were censored or destroyed. Kateusz tries to undo that damage. One of the gems of this book comes when Kateusz proves that honoring Mary as the mother of God (Theotokos) was universal among Christians before the Council of Ephesus. Let the reader be warned! There is a lot of “chaff” in this book where the author completely brakes with the actual Bible and the Catholic faith. Here is the case in point, Kateusz claims that Mary offers herself along with Christ at the Last Supper. Obviously, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John could not have forgotten that. If what Kateusz puts forward is true, then all she has done is call the reliability of the canonical Gospels into doubt. So, at that point she is basically adding whatever she likes to the Catholic religion. Second, she wants to throw 1 Timothy out of the Bible because she claims that it can't be reconciled with her thesis. The third instance of chaff in her book comes when she unfortunately sites doctrinally unreliable texts like the Acts of Phillip alongside good doctrinally sound texts like the Life of Thecla. Here is some of the good “wheat” that is on display in Kateusz’s book. Kateusz argues persuasively that the Six Books written down in the 2nd century are based on older Apostolic oral traditions about Mary the Mother of God. The Six Books were read in Christian churches and are probably the most reliable extra biblical sources that the author analyzes. She looks for common events in Mary's life and ministry that are present in this source and the Dormition narratives of Mary’s death, as well as The Life of the Virgin associated with Maximus the Confessor, the Protoevangelium of James, and the Gospel of Bartholomew. The chapter on women preachers and baptizers proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the women deacons from Roman 16:1 and 1 Timothy 3:11 were commissioned to preach, baptize, and oversee new Church communities in mission territory. It is believable that they could have been the religious leaders for these communities until male presbyters and apostles could arrive who would have been able to confirm the converts and set up local presbyters. It is notable that Kateusz cannot present a scrap of evidence that the female apostles were ordaining presbyters for their communities. Confirming and Ordaining are among the first things that Paul does when he arrives in a community. Here are some other highlights • The book confirms what Hans Urs Von Balthasar theorized about Mary being the greatest theologian. Kateusz shows that early Christian oral tradition describes Mary sending out a group of (male and female) missionaries from Jerusalem, supervising their preaching, and giving them further instruction. • Many early Christians believed that Mary's religious leadership was fully equivalent to the male apostle’s “high priesthood”. This is demonstrated by how the Protoevangelium of James has Mary twice entering the Holy of Holies in the Jerusalem Temple and by Romans 16:7. The Gospel of James or the Protoevangelium of James is always going to be a good witness to the Marian beliefs of Christians that lived in the first centuries however there are serious doubts about its historical reliability. • Early traditions have Mary offering her prayers along with liturgical incense in an action that was later restricted to Ministerial Priests. • The Life of the Virgin is part “wheat” and part “chaff”. It has some value in bringing out Mary's leadership in the early community. However, the author’s contention that Mary offered herself as priest and victim along with Christ at the Last Supper borders on blasphemy. Once again this isn't about being for or against patriarchal Catholicism this is just about being consistent in Catholicism’s understanding of the canonical Gospels. You simply cannot add Mary co- presiding at the Last Supper and still cite the canonical Bible as an infallible witness to Jesus’s life and ministry. • Kateusz relies on early Christian catechisms like the (Didascalia Apostolorum) and written collections of oral tradition to conclude that it was common in the early church to have two presiders at the Eucharist one male and one female (father and mother). She thinks that this demonstrates that women were ministerial priests. However, there is no reason to think that a female deacon couldn't co-preside. This is much more consistent with the canonical New Testament than believing that females transubstantiated the Eucharist. Remember other than consecrating the Eucharist deacons (in the 1st century) basically could do everything presbyters did in the early Church. That is why St. John Chrysostom expressed confusion about whether he was in fact reading about the deacons (and not presbyters) in Acts chapter 6. They seemed to him to be demonstrating the managerial, pastoral, and other non-sacramental responsibilities that were only given to presbyters in St. John Chrysostom’s time. One of the highlights of this book is learning how early Christian writing and art proves how Jesus and Mary are inseparable. It proves that doctrinally orthodox Christians venerated and prayed to Mary in the 2nd and 3rd centuries without any doctrinal guidance from the Church. Another joy is learning about how central Mary’s leadership was in the founding of Christianity. I could see that the author probably has multiple PHD's in art history because she spent a lot of time analyzing the symbols inside historical church artworks. Her argument for women priests is basically this. Roman 16: 7 and reliable oral traditions from the 1st and 2nd century agree that women were given the extraordinary title “apostle”. Furthermore, the author's analysis of art history reveals that artwork inside Catholic churches and monasteries depicts women wearing a symbol of priestly ministry. Artwork is clearly very subjective even if you do have multiple degrees in art history. For me the decisive point is this, if author’s argument for women priests were correct her Life of Thecla would have Thecla performing the sacrament of Confirmation (laying on his hands) as well as baptizing. That along with the fact that Paul easily could have included a simple one sentence note about women priests in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 just as he did with women deacons a few sentences later are the two fundamental reasons that I don't believe the author's argument for women priests. That being said I still enjoyed the majority of her book.

thank you professor.. its really helping me

There is no such thing as progressive sanctification. We are fully sanctified, justified and redeemed upon believing. We exist IN Christ. The Holy Spirit reveals more of Christ as time passes. This is growing IN grace and the knowledge of Him.

Interesting that increased responsibilities for women in church didn't equate to increased opportunities for church leadership. The Pastorate was still reserved for men.

Hello, I have a question. In 5:22, you said that Christ´s Atonement "is substitutionary". I had read reformed blogs that state that John Wesley believed in the "Governmental Atonement Theory", and is not the same as the reformed Substitutionary Theory. I am just a little confuesed.... thanks

This video just saved my final essay!

I'm just trying to learn about Walter Rauschenbusch for an report i have to do for APUSH.... thanks for the help.

Can you list the page where the Didache references prophetess? bc i can't find it and would be very anxious to find it and share it.

So in other words, all the social gospel actually is, God's love, in action. Well done, thank you.

Thank you! I am a UA-cam & Speakers Corner Christian Apologist and polemicist of non Christian beliefs and found this interesting. I have subscribed 👍🏻
