This video ended, and I wasn't ready! Could have listened easily to another hour. I learned something new tonight. I didn't know this about Antioch!

Some great info overshadowed by a horrible presenter. So much of this video is noise in the air but selects some excellent perspectives of early church baptism.

I liked the episode, but I would like to make one point. Many of those that believe that their is a connection with baptism and salvation do not claim that the baptismal waters save, but rather it is in baptism that God saves. As you have mentioned before the early Church understood that. It wasn’t until Huldrych Swingli came on the scene did baptism’s connection to salvation get called into question. I would suggest that all Scriptural texts about baptism except one, when taken literal, explicitly state or imply that it is at baptism that we are born again, calling on the name of the Lord, buried and raised with Christ, etc.

Thanks for this breakdown.

I 1000% agree with putting scripture above church traditions. Much of church history after the 1st century is is the introduction of new ideas and traditions that grow as time passed even further away from scripture. Adding and adding and adding new things. Now, this video could have been a lot shorter if you didn’t add in so many long opinions and commentaries. I prefer when you stick to the facts. I also disagreed with several things you said as fact, including adding that the wolves were not saved in the first place. Thats totally just your opinion. It wasn’t said that way in the words Paul wrote.

How can the supposed Paul be 10 years younger than if it is assumed Paul was born 5AD?

I like your thinking about multiple denominations not being a problem. I love high church liturgy/tradition, but I can't stand the idea that I belong to the only true Church. I guess that's why I go to an Anglican church and not an Orthadox one. God be with you.

I appreciate your teachings and your humility Now may the God of peace who by the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep, our Lord Jesus, equip you with every good thing to do his will, working in us what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever. Amen. Hebrews 13:20-21

Alot of great stuff here. Very informative. One important mistake I noticed was that you identified circumcision as a rite to become a "God-fearer" (Timestamp 26:23). Cornelius is labeled as a God-fearer in Acts 10:2. If this meant that he had been circumcised, why would Peter have felt any trepidation in going to his house? The very significance of Cornelius's conversion is that he is the first Gentile (uncircumcised) to accept the Gospel as Peter makes reference to in the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15:7). Rather circumcision was seen (and still is today) as a way to move FROM the God-fearer category TO the category of Jewish prostelyte.

See 1 Kings 19:15

Thank you for sharing this with us. I have been living in Christ for 50 years and have seen and even for a short period fallen into some of the satanic potholes of false teachers. 99.9% of those we see on TV, i.e TBN are in fact false teachers living selfish, lavish lifestyles. All they are in fact teaching is how to live a Christian life in the flesh. It's flesh management with a Jesus name tag. I pray that our Lord will soon crush those networks.

I found you through a Christian meme page on Facebook XD I really look forward to your videos each week. This content is something I've been looking for but I seem to only find church history info from a catholic slant. Thank you for your diligence in teaching the word.

I'm really enjoying this series also! Did I hear you say that you already did the episode about James - the brother of Christ? If not, I'm waiting to hear what your lecture on him may teach me. God bless! Thank you, Pastor.

Absolutely loving this series! I look forward to each episode!

What proof is there that Peter was married? I ask after having dealt with the group who tend to place him on a very, very, very high pedestal!

Just a disclaimer. I have been doing some in-depth research on the Manuscript tradition of Ignatius' letters and will be releasing an updated view of Ignatius in the Season 2 lineup. In short, what I presented in this episode (the normal, consensus view) only took into account the two Greek recensions without considering the shortest recension: the Syriac. I have spent many weeks analyzing my own assumptions about Ignatius, which were standard, and have been challenged to consider that his letters are not as dependable a resource on early church history as I had been led to think. I will leave this episode up for the time being but will replace it with a disclaimer and link to the new lesson, if necessary. Always refining. :) Lord's blessings.

I am really excited to have found this series today, and can't wait to sit and watch! And I think they will be SO beneficial for our homeschool! Thank you for the time investment!!

Wow!! I didn't realize he was so young!!!

You make a very good point that the DoC was used to establish papal supremacy & political authority in such force that the power continued unchallenged. How Catholics manage to reconcile the ghastly history of the RCC with the Gospel I will never understand.

Apologies about the audio levels on this one! Will fix it!

I really appreciate your content. Where are you getting your doctorate from? Listening to your stuff and that of Raymond Ibrahim has me rethinking my graduate studies plan.

God bless you brother! I have learned a lot from your old videos and I am so excited for this new journey !

Exodus 26:13 ≈ π Pi was first recorded by Moses in 1440 BC. Josephus the Historian's description of the Tabernacle in 94 AD was inaccurate. This oversight was discovered in 2015 AD. 330 Exodus 26 :7 15 Exodus 26:12 - 1 Exodus 26:13 makes Pi = 314 3.14 = 314 circumference/100 diameter ≈ π ratio (100 cubit court per Exodus 27:9-18) ................................... This exciting news about the Wilderness Tabernacle is similar to the Dead Sea Scrolls and Martin Luther's 95 Theses. ............................. Here’s a brief history of finding π. One Babylonian tablet (1900-1680 BC) indicates a value of 3.125 for π. The Rhind Papyrus (1650 BC) the Egyptians gave the approximate value of 3.1605 for π. Moses recorded Pi (1440 AD) in the Exodus blueprints rediscovered in (2015 AD) 3.141592653 Exodus 26:13 ≈ Pi (500 BC) India's Aryabhata approximation was 62,832/20,000, or 3.1416. Zu Chongzhi (429-501 BC) a Chinese mathematician 3.1415926 - 3.1415927 (250 BC) Archimedes showed that π is between 3.1408 and 3.1429 ........................................... The knowledge of Pi was lost from Exodus near 900 BC. Josephus the Historian in 94 AD did NOT know about Exodus 26:13 makes Pi to properly explain the Tabernacle blueprints. He deferred to the Temple's structure and not Exodus 26-27. Pi is found in the spiral of the double helix in your DNA. Consider King Josiah & the Prophetess Huldah rediscovering the scriptures, right?In short this is a monumental oversight corrected in 2015. This might be difficult to grasp at first. Exodus 26:13 ≈ π

And what happened to all those who left the protestant church?

Forgery or not the Catholic Church remains the first and only Church that traces her history directly the St. Peter. The facts are too strong to be contradicted.

Many of thier interlectuals were martyard which is why there is not much written in the start of the anabaptist movement.

This is easily one of my favourite documents in the Early Church. I particularly like the echoes of 1 Peter ("Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, …") and Philippians ("...we hold a citizenship in Heaven").

I honestly mistook you for a Catholic, Orthodox at best, up til your Church History and Theology podcast episode “Teachers of the Early Church.” It was a bit of a shock, tbh, but not totally, of course. Interesting that for the first few episodes, you states, rightly, that translation shouldn’t matter so much so long as the content is preserved, yet for the Peter passage, translation is only what matters. But which came first, the belief that Jesus couldn’t have meant what he said or that God would have something that a mere translation error/“error” renders two completely different meanings. I think perhaps Jesus meant exactly what he said and any confusion comes from within the heart of the one reading, not from Christ. He’s really not confusing anywhere else, so it’s just not consistent with the person of Christ or God the Father, even. That Peter refers to him as the same as the other apostles is probably exactly why he was given the role of keeping Jesus’ seat warm. Even now, that mindset in no way conflicts with how we each know we are to view one another, from greatest to least, regardless of our level of authority/grace/understanding/ etc. St. Paul reminds us of this. Peter’s unique position doesn’t make him infallible, however. Even today, Papal infallibility doesn’t mean that whatever the Pope says is the truth. Probably more than anyone a Pope will consult with others and if someone else has the right understanding, then he is simply tasked with recognizing that and making it the final word. Jesus has the power to do this and the structure he implemented fits very naturally with our human nature and is most effective for carrying out its mission. Hierarchy fits us, and when its not corrupt, it feels very liberating because we don’t have to always be striving needlessly, we can rest where we are, knowing that it’s God who put is there, not us, and that since we’re all equals, we may actually thrive all the more because we can focus on just being there, doing that, working together most effectively as members of the same body.

Hello and thank you for this video. I got saved in a holiness/conservative church in 1983. I've never heard anyone put my spiritual heritage into a historical perspective like that before. It's fascinating. All the details you mentioned about them are still around today.

I really appreciate these lessons. You have challenged and caused me to look deeper into my own beliefs. Could you do a lesson on how salvation has been taught or understood from the New Testament days to now? You stated at the end of this lesson that we may not know when the moment of salvation happens. Could you go into that further? Thanks!

I wouldn’t have gone to the referenced passage from Irenaeus for infant baptism. I would pointed out that, as is typical with the fathers, associated “being born again” with baptism and that he speaks about “infants” being born again.

I have really enjoyed all 58 history episodes and the Deep Dives! Do you know where I can find an English transcript of the Leipzig debates?

Ooo. I just learned how to do chapters. That is very helpful. :)

According to God you can't change your sex so transgenderism is therefore objectively wrong and declaring it as wrong is therefore true.

The real problem is when the postmodernist lens turns on, and attempts to deconstruct the word of God within a Church - This can shipwreck people's faith.

(43.00) Indulgences did not purchase salvation. They reduced time in purgatory.

Popes also considered the Reconquista to be a Crusade.

Imagining they paid taxes is quite a leap. What would the government do to a cult today that didn't pay taxes or, probably, obey the law?

(6:57) The term Roman Catholic was invented by Protestants in the 16th century, as an insult.

The Bible isn't the word of God. The logos, Naam, word, etc is. In the beginning was the word. It's a sound. String theory. The Bible didn't exist before creation. The Word did. The word Is God.

Thank you so much for your effort. I have been educated, challenged and blessed. Much to think about in relation to our present circumstances in 2023.
