Very informative regarding the different denominations but the most important thing is that we follow the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ so that we will enter into His kingdom
That has not been my experience. I have yet to find a protestant denomination that isn't Paulian to its core. I don't know much about catholicism but I do know that it absolutely does not follow Christ's teachings.
@@cherylmcelveen2817 OK, following Christ. Protestantism/Catholicism. One is true and original. The other is in rebellion to it. If Catholicism failed then Jesus failed and lied that it would not. The entire platform on which Protestantism sits is faulty and in rebellion to Jesus. If you don't know much about Catholicism then you cannot make the statement "but I do know that it absolutely does not follow Christ's teachings."
That is absolutely false. The Catholic Church follows Christs teachings exactly in alignment with our Lord Jesus Christ. Please, I beg of you, study and study and you’ll find the truth is the Catholic Church.
@@cherylmcelveen2817 Religion is a dangerous thing, especially monotheism. Eventually those Christians who feel as though those teachings aren't being followed will enforce those things (they did once before and will do it again). When Islam becomes more favorable in the West, the Wester christians are going to lose their everlastig minds and many will turn back to religion like Christianity.... then we got genocide and death, war and conquest, you know the whole purpose of the Church. Christians are no different than Muslims, the difference between the two is at least Muslims follow their religion. Christians know nothing about their religion.
Excellent overview! The number of denominations is overwhelming. My goal is to carry out the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20), immerse in the Word and keep Jesus as my focal point, my anchor. As stated in this video, the nuances of *how* we worship is not the focus; it's *Who* we worship. It stands to reason that worship in other parts of the world will be different due to the difference in cultures. The Lord knows our heart; He knows when we hold Him first. I believe those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will not be sinless, but they *can* sin less. Jesus paid the ultimate price to reconcile us to Himself; He is the Way, the Truth and the Life!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad you found it informative. If you have any questions or topics you'd like us to cover, feel free to let us know!
This was a joy to watch, thank you! Jesus Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen! Glory to God! In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit! Amen! 💜🕊️☦️
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the video. Yes, Jesus is indeed risen! Glory to God! 🙏✨ Your support means a lot to us!
@TheBibleStoriesYT Thank you. This provides a great service for Catholics and other Christians wanting to know the differences in a succinct format. It is helpful for teaching people who are seeking guidance. The illustrations are delightful. By the way, Luther didn't actually nail his theses or thesis to a door. That is a metaphor. His documents were already in discussion and dialogue with bishops. They knew what he taught. They accepted some of his corrections. The real reason for separation was political. Germany did not want to be under Rome. The Catholic Church reformed itself with the Catholic Reformation. Catholics also have secondary or non-biblical sources, called Tradition. They also provide extensive guidance and contemporary moral teaching.
Sometimes, denominations will borrow from other branches of Christianity, Jan Hus, for example, wanted to revert back to Eastern Orthodoxy. Also, the Methodists borrowed heavily from Orthodoxy.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you learned a lot from our video. Yes, Jesus truly is the way, the truth, and the life! God bless you too! 🙏✨
Very interesting. Thank you very much for this informative podcast; most appreciated. I'm Jewish/Christian and this was helpful in understanding. Praised be Our Lord Jesus Christ, may we understand the Holiness through the Holy Spirit, dwelling in us. 🇮🇱💙🙌🏼🕊
The Church of Christ is one, and He ordered to do His memory every First day of week. He promises that everyone who safe His word Will have eternal life and Will not encounter death, you Will be Alive at Heaven, not Bodly, but Soul, until His Second Coming. Unite your prayers for the salvation of people, by His mediation to Father, those will be effective. May the Holy Spirit Guide Guide you.
@@Bellaluccaminis EXCEPT in the bible what 2000 tears ago. John 3:5. Jesus said you MUST be born again in water and spirit. So tell me do you not believe the bible this a command not a suggestion. Did you just dismiss these verses or do not believe the word of GOD.
Chinese whispers come to mind. I came to Christ some 4 months ago. I went to my local village church which is an Orthodox. Having read the Bible, they are doing things that are going against the Bible, so I left on the 18th Aug. I've been looking around for a few weeks looking at different churches and their belief. I look at what they preach and believe and find every church does the same thing? I'm in my early 60's and came from a Christian family. My family are Jehovah's Witnesses (I was never baptized or one of them) To me, the Bible is very clear on what is being said yet every place of worship does the same, goes against the Bible, and starts adding their views, ways, and laws. The Orthodox Church I went to would not baptize me without answering their questions and filling out a form. I asked them where is that written in the Bible. They replied "it's how we do it here" Oh, I said "why don't we do it Jesus's way and not your way" I guess now, I will continue reading and studying the Bible alone with prayer and asking God to send the Holy Spirit to show me the way. Look at the CofE, allowing gay clergy, female clergy, same-sex marriage, and now even dropping the word 'church' and it will just get worse I dare say. Put your trust in the Lord, not in men.
You are wrong ! You misunderstoud the apostolic churches ! You are wron abong about the bible ! Why ? In st Marc it’s writen that Jesus , when I send away the people, He explains all in particuler to His Disciples ! But where is all this taeching ? Nowhere ! Only the Apostles knows what He teaches them ! So, you mis 99% of the teaching of God the Saviour thas you do not find in your bible ! Because, this is the apostolic teaching that give us The Church and no evangelic or reformed Churches ! And , also, your baptism is wroug, wrong , because, surely, you never receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit wich is in the onction oil !
I came across this video trying to figure out which branch of Christianity I am but I’ve realized there is no need to identify as anything other than a believer of God and follower of Christ. The Bible is the closest to the word of God we can get and churches have gotten further and further from the Bible, church is great for having a community that share similar ideas but do not devote yourself to man devote yourself to God! I agree with you and I pray that your journey continues to bring you closer to God! I love you 🙏🏽❤️
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's true that many traditions evolve over time. It's important to reflect on the core values and teachings that originally inspired Methodism. What aspects do you think are most important to return to? We’d love to hear your perspective!
Thank you for sharing your joy! It's wonderful to see people embracing their beliefs. If you have any stories or insights from your journey as a Baha’i, we’d love to hear them!
The presentation is incomplete without The Seventh Day Adventist Church and the other 40 denominations who worship on Saturday (the Sabbath in the Ten commandments)
I think many of us “belong” to a denomination but don’t necessarily agree with everything that denomination teaches. I go to a Southern Baptist church, my specific church is good and faithful, but I know the Southern Baptist Convention has adopted some wacky ideas. But I’ll continue to go to my church until and unless those wacky ideas filter down to my church.
Truth trumps wackiness. Jesus did not start the Southern Baptist "church". He started only one church and your lives in antagonism to it. Wackiness is one of your minor problems. Rebellion is your biggest.
@@bridgefin I’ve been blessed to have been saved since 1986 and God has taught me a great deal since then. I know what the Holy Bible teaches and the church I attend lines up very closely to the teaching in the Holy Bible. If you understand the holiness of God you’ll understand that mankind is fallen and that all of mankind is in rebellion against God. Fortunately, Jesus came as the lamb of God - the perfect sacrifice for sinful man. All believers in Jesus the Christ are saved. “Jesus said to her “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.” The Gospel is not more complicated than that. If you believe in Jesus and His plan of redemption then you are saved.
@@Psalm146-2 You: I’ve been blessed to have been saved since 1986 Me: Unless you died and were judged as saved by Jesus ad are now in Heaven, you have not yet been declared as "saved". You: the church I attend lines up very closely to the teaching in the Holy Bible. Me: Close only matters in horseshoes and hand grenades. Your church is 500 years old, best case. The ONLY church established by God is 2000 years old. You not in IT! You: All believers in Jesus the Christ are saved. Me: Do you suggest that you believe in everything that Jesus taught? Can you even define what a believer is? What does Scripture say is the opposite of a believer? You: If you believe in Jesus and His plan of redemption then you are saved. Me: The demons believe in that and yet they are NOT saved. You might need a new definition.
@@bridgefin You are overcomplicating the Gospel and overthinking issues that are irrelevant. You are going to get yourself so twisted around that you’ll become more and more confused and then you’ll just give up trying to understand truth. If you could boil down the New Testament to its most basic message it would be this… John 11:25 “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live” All New Testament truth radiates out from this verse (there are a few similar verses). Meditate on this verse - and in light of this verse all others will start to make sense to you. Don’t worry about things like the age of the church - it doesn’t matter - the Holy Bible was written for all people of every generation.
I agree with one of the comment that was posted. The only thing matters is we focus on Gods word(The Bible) and only the Bible. You have to get into the right Bible. This Bible is not written by man but by God so if we only go by his word, they will be no division.
1:21 We are Catholic. Corrections: 1) we are not a denomination, we are the one a only True Church left to us by Jesus. 2) we are not popular at all. Most Protestants do not like us and want really is to convert us.
2:58 Transubstantiation, John 6. Before it was called as such, is the changing of bread and wine during the consecration at the mass. Only priests can do this. The bread and wine are transformed into the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ, while keeping the appearance of bread and wine. Only those in a state of grace, with full confession of sins and absolution can partake in the communion. So those who are unblemished of all sins.
5:12 Baptism in the Catholic church is most of the time performed on babies, but not always sometimes we get baptized later. I was baptized at 11. And this "Baptist's Belivers Baptism" could be equated to what we call Confirmation, where we profess our faith and have the Holy Spirit sealed into us. We are typically a little bit older. Protestants always focused on infant baptisms and that somehow they shouldn't be allowed. But we basically do two Sacraments or three if you also consider the First Communion, to be like a full adult Catholic prior to marriage or Holy Orders.
Anglicanism/Episcopalianism (same thing) Methodism, Nazarene holiness movement, And Pentecostalism are probably my favorite denominations. What I call the Thomas Cranmerian religious lineage.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's fascinating to see how different denominations shape our understanding of faith. The Thomas Cranmerian lineage has certainly had a significant impact on Anglicanism and beyond. What aspects of these traditions resonate with you the most? We'd love to hear more!
We are saved by grace through faith and NOT by good works lest any man should boast. We do good works because God wants us to and we love Him and want to please Him. We do not do them to merit salvation. Perhaps they may earn us crowns to wear and then to cast at Jesus' feet. But our salvation was paid in full when Jesus said "It is finished". Any attempt to redeem you own soul is an insult to The Lamb who was sacrificed in your place.
Wish the video went in the order the denominations were founded ie the Catholic church then Lutheran etc to make it easier to build upon previous information and historical events that started each denomination.
When Jesus said he would build his church upon this Rock, he wasn't talking about Peter, he was talking about himself as The Rock. Peter is not the first pope!
True to a point, but the rock was revelation. The true Church has revelation to a prophet and has apostles in it. Yes, Jesus gives that revelation, but only 1 Christian Church teaches this.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's a fascinating interpretation, and many people have different views on this passage. The idea of Jesus as the foundation is definitely a strong one. We love hearing diverse perspectives on these stories! Keep the conversation going! 😊
@donaldjones9830 not to a point, it's just true. there is no "true church" there is a body of true believers. an assembly is believers in fellowship, worshipping The One True God, thru the only intercessor necessary being our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. The Word made flesh.
Imagine a world where we remove the barriers created by the division of Christianity into all the different denominations. Maybe I'll write a song about this. For instance, in a town, could it be refreshing, and more cost effective, to build one building instead of many. Instead of building more buildings, that same money could go toward bettering the society and helping those that need it the most. That body of believers would have 3 things in common. If they love God, they love their neighbor, and they accept Jesus as their savior, that might just be enough to unify them all.
How about just reading the Bible fervently and develop a relationship with Christ where you pray during times of need, but also praying during good times as well as bad ones. Overall, prayer is communication with God directly. So prayer should be done at any time during the day no matter what the reason is. And repenting is the key point in acknowledging your sins before God, followed by a sincere change of heard and reading God's Word daily. Doing these things is enough for your salvation to be genuine.
@@vladimator1842 finally someone who gets it. Tired of all these ritualistic religions trying to take a stab at True Followers of Christ. We actually build a relationship with God through his word with our own eyes, not someone elses words. However the word is to be used to teach as needed. Not lul people to sleep with repetitive rituals. STOP, go to Christ people.
@@bridgefin then I'd imagine I'd be the prophet being given the word to write down. What would be your role? Elijah understood, somehow I think that wouldnt be most people in 150 AD. Most people wouldve been the ones throwing the first stone. I tell you, he has already came and you rejected him. What makes you think you'll accept him in any other form with or without the bible. The Testaments were given to us in progression and are to be used as such. Old Testament was the law which we no longer are forced to abide by when Jesus fulfilled the law which is primarily what the new testament is about which is why were are told to spread the gospels not the old testament rituals. However, you better know both, both are equally important. The only person who's wrong is the one who doesnt fervently read their bible start to finish over and over again. THAT should be the only repetitive task and praying constantly in the spirit. That's TRULY living in the spirit.
You: ...then I'd imagine I'd be the prophet being given the word to write down. Me: Well, you obviously weren't selected by God to do that which would make you a false prophet. You: What makes you think you'll accept him in any other form with or without the bible. Me: No one has a bible. There is no canon established yet. You're being very evasive. I see you have no answers. There is no NT canon yet and there never was a consistent OT canon since different groups used different lists. So you have no answer. You: And daily repentance. Me: Where did you get that idea from?
The biggest hurdle for me, after being a member of the atheist religion for almost 35 years, is what the catholic church has done in the past, and still to this day. I am positive, if i jad never had contact with catholic church people, i would have never joined the atheist church.
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Ephesians 4:4-6 KJV When the people heard this, they were deeply troubled and said to Peter and the other apostles, “What shall we do, brothers?” Peter said to them, “Each one of you must turn away from your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins will be forgiven; and you will receive God's gift, the Holy Spirit. For God's promise was made to you and your children, and to all who are far away-all whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” Peter made his appeal to them and with many other words he urged them, saying, “Save yourselves from the punishment coming on this wicked people!” Many of them believed his message and were baptized, and about three thousand people were added to the group that day. They spent their time in learning from the apostles, taking part in the fellowship, and sharing in the fellowship meals and the prayers. Acts 2:37-42 GNT
I wrote you in my [previous] letter not to associate with [sexually] immoral people- not meaning the immoral people of this world, or the greedy ones and swindlers, or idolaters, for then you would have to get out of the world and human society altogether! But actually, I have written to you not to associate with any so-called [Christian] brother if he is sexually immoral or greedy, or is an idolater [devoted to anything that takes the place of God], or is a reviler [who insults or slanders or otherwise verbally abuses others], or is a drunkard or a swindler-you must not so much as eat with such a person. For what business is it of mine to judge outsiders (non-believers)? Do you not judge those who are within the church [to protect the church as the situation requires]? God alone sits in judgment on those who are outside [the faith]. Remove the wicked one from among you [expel him from your church]. 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 AMP “Not everyone who calls me ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but only those who do what my Father in heaven wants them to do. When the Judgment Day comes, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord! In your name we spoke God's message, by your name we drove out many demons and performed many miracles!’ Then I will say to them, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you wicked people!’ Matthew 7:21-23 GNT
I was in a certain denomination for many years, after I was saved. Saw so much church politics. In most of them it's just about money and numbers. I left that denomination, and will never join another.
What I would say is,do a bit of research on why it can't be a true Christian denomination and match it against the Nicaean creed (the how to point out heresy creed) in order to get your answer. Please don't get offended 🙏

Ephesians 2:8-9 We are saved by grace through faith , and that not of ourselves. It is the gift of God, not of ( self righteous ) works . Least anyone should boast. Self righteous is pride. Jesus said being confident of this very thing. That He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it, Jesus gets the credit.

But for these new synagogues non named, we never know ! … some unnamed person !
We believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We accept the Bible as our only creed ,and Salvation is achieved through faith and grace, and that only Jesus can provide salvation. Whoever says otherwise doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
Well, the Bible used by all denominations is compiled, collected and created by the Catholic Church aka as Roman Catholic Church the one true church established by the son of God Jesus Christ. I opened my eyes and heart to learn other denominations I respect them but my questions were all answered by the Catholic Church biblically, historically, traditionally and with authority given by Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ conquered the Roman Empire by His righteous ways with the power of His words and teachings that’s why it only shows that the central of Christianity is Rome. I was born a Catholic and I will die a Catholic!!! Praise the Almighty GOD creator of heaven and earth!!! ✝️❤️🕊️
The Catholic Church murdered many, many, many people. They forced people to be christians. They worship the so-called mother mary, which is an idol. And in their churches, they kneel down to a dead jesus on a cross. They mixed paganism with the christianity. They confess their sins to a priest but Jesus is the only High Priest.They told all the European countries to conquer the countries of color and make slave out of them. One of the popes tried to apologize for all of their own doings, but it is too late. You sir do not know anything about the history of the catholic church. Look and get the facts right.
@Mat, 10: 34-36, Jesus said, "Do not think I come to bring peace, but sword," Sword are his figurative,divisive statements towards his critics, but to his own apostles, he secretly revealed to them the truth, and instructs them to preach without using figurative words, @Mat,10:26-28, / 13:10-11, / Mark, 4:34,, therefore, christians denominations today were the results of their failure to learn what is figurative or non figurative Jesus declarations, then, Jesus warned, that no one of those bringing his name can inherit God's kingdom, @ Mat, 7:21-23/ Mat, 24: , excepts those doing his father's will on earth,
Great information about the churches but the one Holy Catholic Church is the only one that was established by Jesus Christ through the ministry of St. Peter and the Apostles. The Catholic Church is not a denomination it is the Church. All others are denominations established by men like Martin Luther John Calvan and others. For 1500 years after Christ the early Church was the Catholic Church. Referencing Dr. Scott Hann Apologist Tim Staples Apologist Dr. Taylor Marshal and many other converts to The Church. After Martin Luther today there are over 42,000 denominations. Church established by Christ one Holy Catholic Church or the breakaway churches established by men?
True Christians can explain the solid dome Firmament, and how God put the sun moon and stars in it on day 4 and they understand Joshua's longest day, when God stopped the sun and moon, they also accept the Bible when it tells us about the stationary Earth. The Bible tells us to question everything and hold good. Only the true actually do it.
There is and always was a gruop that only God considered. That group was all those he saved throughout time, from all over the earth, and from out of all circumstances or belief systems. These be the true belivers, of the invisible church, not the nation of Israel, and not the corporate churches.
The church established by Jesus is incarnate and not a figment. Those who are saved in the end are potentially so diverse in belief that they cannot be classified as "true believers". But they apparently got the one thing right in God's estimation.
@@Fernando-qs7bl Right, they are invited to enter in the new life. But on earth let's keep our facts straight and not get muddled up on false sentimentality. There is a church on earth. It was established by God. It is the path back to him. No one will be saved outside of it but not all who will be saved will find themselves within its physical walls in this lifetime.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's true that God's grace extends beyond any specific group or institution. The concept of the "invisible church" highlights the personal relationship believers have with Him, regardless of their background. It's a beautiful reminder that faith transcends boundaries. We appreciate your engagement and look forward to more discussions!
Talking about the Orthodox Church, author names Greek, Russian and Serbian churches. Greek church was founded in the first century, but Russia became orthodox in the 10th century. The Orthodox Church of Georgia is one of the oldest churches in the world. It asserts apostolic foundation, and that its historical roots can be traced to the early and late Christianization of Iberia and Colchis by Andrew the Apostle in the 1st century AD and by Saint Nino in the 4th century AD, respectively. Russians didn’t even have the alphabet, which was created for them by the Greek missionaries, Cyril and Methodius in the tenth century. Russians occupied Georgia and assumed it’s place in the dyptichs. Before Russian baptism, Many countries became orthodox. Constantine the great was born on the Serbian territory in the three hundreds.Ukrainians assert their connection to Apostle Andrew. Bulgaria, Romania also begin their history to the first century. So much to say, no space.
The Protestant churches are constantly reforming themselves, skimming off the dross in the smelting process of purification. Sometimes the reforming process results in yet another denomination of Protestantism.
Thank you for your comment! You bring up an important point about the meaning of "denomination." It's true that divisions can sometimes lead to misunderstandings. Our goal is to focus on the core messages of love and unity found in the Bible. Let's continue to explore those together!
The Nicene Creed plainly states, "We believe in the one baptism for the remission of sins." I never met a Southern Baptist who believes that, even though it is plainly taught in the NT.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! The Nicene Creed certainly plays a significant role in defining core Christian beliefs. It's fascinating how historical documents like this shape our understanding of faith today. What aspects of the Creed resonate most with you?
In the Bible, God describes the process by which he cleanses the church, as a smelting as if of metals. He describes heating the metal/church and skimming off the dross with each cycle of heating. The dross is the cleansing of the filth and impurities from the metal, and the refining of the metal. Therefore, each time the Protestant Church bifurcates in an effort to cleanse the dross, it is part of the refining process. Jesus also warned that ravenous wolves would enter into the church disguised as sheep and would fleece the flock, molest the lambs, and scatter the flock. And that is exactly what has happened! Up until the 3rd century, the church was made up of Jewish Christians who led in the conversion of Gentiles to the Christian sect of Judaism. But the Roman wolves, dressed as sheep, entered into the Jewish Christian flock, fleece the flock, began to molest the lambs, and scattered the sheep into different denominations. Each of these denominations struggle to purge themselves of the false teachings of the Roman Church and find their way back to fundamental Christianity which is actually fundamental Torah teaching. Jesus was a fundamental Torah teacher. He taught the basic principles of God's teachings. He taught in open fields, in homes, in humble synagogues. Jesus did not teach the construction of magnificent cathedrals, grossly ornate churches, or governmental structures like the Vatican where the pope sits on a golden throne. Jesus taught humility. He did not accumulate wealth, but slept outside under the stars in the Garden of Gethsemane. This is quite the opposite of most churches today.
The Catholic Church IS NOT a denomination!!! The word came in use when the many Protestant churches arrived on the scene over a thousand years after the Catholic Church.
@@richardwachira7130 The word "denomination," in the context of religion, started being used in the 16th century, particularly around the time of the Protestant Reformation. It was used to refer to different branches or groups within Christianity that had distinct beliefs and practices, as various sects broke away from the Roman Catholic Church. The term gradually expanded to apply to various religious subdivisions across different faiths.
For God so Loved the World, That he gave his only Begotten Son, That Whosoever Believeth in him Should Not Perish, But have Everlasting Life. John 3:16kjv Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be Saved. Acts 16:31kjv
John 3:36: Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. Opposite of belief is DISOBEDIENCE. So your belief must include obedience, not just intellectual assent.
@bridgefin You're going to Hell. But to him that Worketh Not, But Believeth on him that Justifieth the Ungodly, His Faith is Counted for Righteousness. Romans 4:5kjv For by Grace are ye Saved through Faith; And that Not of Yourselves: It is the Gift of God; Not of Works, Lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9kjv Knowing that a man is Not Justified by the Works of the Law But by the Faith of Jesus Christ, Even we have Believed in Jesus Christ, That we might be Justified by the Faith of Christ And Not by the Works of the Law; For by the Works of the Law Shall No Flesh be Justified. Galatians 2:16kjv For the wages of sin is death, But the Gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23kjv Therefore we conclude that a man is Justified by Faith, Without the deeds of the Law. Romans 3:28kjv
Supposedly Jesus prayed that his followers would "be one". That was one prayer for sure that G-d did not answer since there are over 40,000 denominations with various opinions and doctrines and practices.
When the time is right the Lord God Himself will separate the wheat from the tares. We are not to attempt to do this but God will. So in conclusion, God's Church at this moment in time is exactly as He wants it to be. Also, you may want to see what the Bible says about scoffers - it may be of interest.
@@L.Fontein7 I never said who is or is not saved. I merely stated the truth that as far as God's church was concerned it was intact and those who preferred to go elsewhere have done so thus preserving the church as one....One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism. As for the rebels even some of them might find salvation. If telling the truth makes me a "scoffer" then so be it.
다워잇: ‘하나‘라는 단어는 사람마다 의미가 다르기 때문에 정의해 보세요. 또한 ‘교회’란 무엇일까요? 우리는 그것이 2-3명이 그분의 이름으로 모인 곳이라고 들었습니다. 사도들은 다른 사람들이 그분의 이름으로 이적을 행하는 것에 대해 불평했습니다. 그분은 그들에게 ’나를 대적하지 않는 자는 나를 위하는 자‘라고 말씀하셨습니다.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's true that Jesus prayed for unity among His followers, and the diversity in denominations can be quite overwhelming. However, many believe that this diversity can also enrich our understanding of faith. It's important to focus on the core message of love and grace that unites us all. What are your thoughts on how we can bridge these differences?
I'll tell you what denominations are about . Ego driven nonsense that keeps Christians from coming together as a whole to worship God ! It causes everyone to argue their religious beliefs dividing us instead of bringing us together in the service of God !
Thank you for your comment! It's interesting to think about the play on words with "denom" and "demon." It's always important to approach these topics with discernment. If you have any specific thoughts or questions about demonization in the Bible, feel free to share! We love hearing from our viewers. 😊
Christianity is from God and he established one church. You are confusing Christianity with Protestantism which is not from God but from rebellious man.
The speaker thinks that his assessment of the faithfulness of Catholics determines something. It doesn't except maybe for those poor Catholics he witnessed. Truth is the only thing that matters and the truth is that Jesus established the Catholic Church. He promised that the gates of hell would not prevail against it and he promised the spirit of truth to be with its leaders forever. And the truth is that Protestantism restored nothing but it invented heresies. It is not protected in truth and hell succeeds in splitting it up almost daily.
I'm really not interested in the numerous christian denominations. What I do believe is that everyone of them are incorrect and unable to prove gad exists (at least without credible evidence). I also know not any one of those denominations can agree on the same doctrines. Christianity is not the most populist of religions. It is Hindu and than Muslim.
Too many seeking truth *fail to find* because they're easily *led astray* by worldly logic, sensuality, vain esoterism or specious mysticisms. *I know I was.* I'm an ex neo-vedantic (hindu roots) new ager. I used to be into so much "cosmic/spiritual" stuff: trance channelings, ancient wisdom, gnosticism, psychedelic drugs, hindu gurus and buddhist variants. I was illuminated by the *kundalini (serpent) spirit* then 8 years ago I got rightly enlightened by the *Holy Spirit* - which proceeded to show me what a *fool* I was before..... Spirit led to the REAL *Yahusha/Jesus Christ* and everything changed - *Paradigm Shifted* ..... This is being *BORN AGAIN* (John 3) and it's an ongoing surprise to me 😁 Turns out Spirituality is a *soul serious* business taken way too lightly by *far too many* .... The End-Times are clearly *dead ahead,* a time of Antichrist is near. It escapes the notice of our self-absorbed, glamour-saturated world that we're in a spiritual WAR for souls. The immensity of *ignorance* is astonishing: supernal powers are BEDAZZLING the minds of the masses (Ephesians 6:12). We've inherited ancient spiritual subversion: *the Earth is fallen* ..... the holistic fields of nature are fallen state; *"Morphic Resonance"* is OUT of affinity with DIVINITY; *Death is all too familiar;* Natural life hunts, KILLS and *feeds* on itself. Humanity is a spiritually *fallen race* highly prone to *deceit and delusion.* FRANKLY, we need a SAVIOUR and by Jesus Christ we have a GREAT ONE As a new ager I couldn't believe (I was *damn sure* I knew better) but in the *Light of Spirit* Jesus really is the *Way, the truth and the Life* just like He said: no one comes to GOD except through Jesus, there's no other way (Matthew 7:13-14). Being a neo-vedantist I wasn't convinced, yet the Bible is Spirit breathed, written by men inspired by the *Holy Spirit.* Jesus is vividly portrayed and endorsed in the new testament, in fact he's apparent in the old testament too (Luke 24:27 & 44) and by *His LIGHT* we're allowed to *see* that and *know Him.* Any intellectual concerns or previously perceived discrepancies/contradictions are ironed out and the supernatural narrative flows most beautifully..... The Bible is the Revelation of *Jesus Christ* (Isaiah 2:2-4; 9:6-7, 11:1-10 & 45:23, Daniel 7:13-14, Matthew 28:18, Mark 14:61-62, Revelation 1:7-8 & 18, Rev 19:11-21)
Thank you for sharing that beautiful sentiment! It's wonderful to see your faith shining through. Jesus truly is our loving and faithful guide. Keep spreading that love! ❤
Roman catholic not Catholic, also i worship at a certain denomination, first is Christ and then the universal Church of Jesus Christ then the denomination
Very informative regarding the different denominations but the most important thing is that we follow the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ so that we will enter into His kingdom
That has not been my experience. I have yet to find a protestant denomination that isn't Paulian to its core. I don't know much about catholicism but I do know that it absolutely does not follow Christ's teachings.
@@cherylmcelveen2817
OK, following Christ. Protestantism/Catholicism. One is true and original. The other is in rebellion to it. If Catholicism failed then Jesus failed and lied that it would not. The entire platform on which Protestantism sits is faulty and in rebellion to Jesus.
If you don't know much about Catholicism then you cannot make the statement "but I do know that it absolutely does not follow Christ's teachings."
00llll
That is absolutely false. The Catholic Church follows Christs teachings exactly in alignment with our Lord Jesus Christ. Please, I beg of you, study and study and you’ll find the truth is the Catholic Church.
@@cherylmcelveen2817 Religion is a dangerous thing, especially monotheism. Eventually those Christians who feel as though those teachings aren't being followed will enforce those things (they did once before and will do it again). When Islam becomes more favorable in the West, the Wester christians are going to lose their everlastig minds and many will turn back to religion like Christianity.... then we got genocide and death, war and conquest, you know the whole purpose of the Church. Christians are no different than Muslims, the difference between the two is at least Muslims follow their religion. Christians know nothing about their religion.
Excellent overview! The number of denominations is overwhelming. My goal is to carry out the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20), immerse in the Word and keep Jesus as my focal point, my anchor. As stated in this video, the nuances of *how* we worship is not the focus; it's *Who* we worship. It stands to reason that worship in other parts of the world will be different due to the difference in cultures. The Lord knows our heart; He knows when we hold Him first. I believe those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will not be sinless, but they *can* sin less. Jesus paid the ultimate price to reconcile us to Himself; He is the Way, the Truth and the Life!

@TheBibleStoriesYT Thank you. This provides a great service for Catholics and other Christians wanting to know the differences in a succinct format. It is helpful for teaching people who are seeking guidance. The illustrations are delightful. By the way, Luther didn't actually nail his theses or thesis to a door. That is a metaphor. His documents were already in discussion and dialogue with bishops. They knew what he taught. They accepted some of his corrections. The real reason for separation was political. Germany did not want to be under Rome. The Catholic Church reformed itself with the Catholic Reformation. Catholics also have secondary or non-biblical sources, called Tradition. They also provide extensive guidance and contemporary moral teaching.
Nice easy to understand overview. Ty 😊
Wonderfully informative video, thank you. An education in itseld🙏
Sometimes, denominations will borrow from other branches of Christianity, Jan Hus, for example, wanted to revert back to Eastern Orthodoxy. Also, the Methodists borrowed heavily from Orthodoxy.

I m a born again Christian. I belong to Jesus Christ and I don't follow any denomination, I believe in biblical Christianity.
Yes...the church of Christ .
The Church of Christ is one, and He ordered to do His memory every First day of week.
He promises that everyone who safe His word Will have eternal life and Will not encounter death, you Will be Alive at Heaven, not Bodly, but Soul, until His Second Coming.
Unite your prayers for the salvation of people, by His mediation to Father, those will be effective.
May the Holy Spirit Guide Guide you.
The Born Again are newly sprouted Christian denominations as founded by Charles Parham in the 1900s. 🙄
@@MrAikidoka30 ME ALSO.
@@Bellaluccaminis EXCEPT in the bible what 2000 tears ago. John 3:5. Jesus said you MUST be born again in water and spirit. So tell me do you not believe the bible this a command not a suggestion. Did you just dismiss these verses or do not believe the word of GOD.
It's emphasis on personal faith and autonomy. Is of my very first day of pre-school.
Chinese whispers come to mind.
I came to Christ some 4 months ago. I went to my local village church which is an Orthodox.
Having read the Bible, they are doing things that are going against the Bible, so I left on the 18th Aug.
I've been looking around for a few weeks looking at different churches and their belief.
I look at what they preach and believe and find every church does the same thing?
I'm in my early 60's and came from a Christian family. My family are Jehovah's Witnesses (I was never baptized or one of them)
To me, the Bible is very clear on what is being said yet every place of worship does the same, goes against the Bible, and starts adding their views, ways, and laws.
The Orthodox Church I went to would not baptize me without answering their questions and filling out a form. I asked them where is that written in the Bible. They replied "it's how we do it here"
Oh, I said "why don't we do it Jesus's way and not your way"
I guess now, I will continue reading and studying the Bible alone with prayer and asking God to send the Holy Spirit to show me the way.
Look at the CofE, allowing gay clergy, female clergy, same-sex marriage, and now even dropping the word 'church' and it will just get worse I dare say.
Put your trust in the Lord, not in men.
You are wrong ! You misunderstoud the apostolic churches ! You are wron abong about the bible ! Why ? In st Marc it’s writen that Jesus , when I send away the people, He explains all in particuler to His Disciples ! But where is all this taeching ? Nowhere ! Only the Apostles knows what He teaches them ! So, you mis 99% of the teaching of God the Saviour thas you do not find in your bible ! Because, this is the apostolic teaching that give us The Church and no evangelic or reformed Churches ! And , also, your baptism is wroug, wrong , because, surely, you never receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit wich is in the onction oil !
I came across this video trying to figure out which branch of Christianity I am but I’ve realized there is no need to identify as anything other than a believer of God and follower of Christ. The Bible is the closest to the word of God we can get and churches have gotten further and further from the Bible, church is great for having a community that share similar ideas but do not devote yourself to man devote yourself to God! I agree with you and I pray that your journey continues to bring you closer to God! I love you 🙏🏽❤️

I think many of us “belong” to a denomination but don’t necessarily agree with everything that denomination teaches. I go to a Southern Baptist church, my specific church is good and faithful, but I know the Southern Baptist Convention has adopted some wacky ideas. But I’ll continue to go to my church until and unless those wacky ideas filter down to my church.
Truth trumps wackiness. Jesus did not start the Southern Baptist "church". He started only one church and your lives in antagonism to it. Wackiness is one of your minor problems. Rebellion is your biggest.
Well said
@@bridgefin I’ve been blessed to have been saved since 1986 and God has taught me a great deal since then. I know what the Holy Bible teaches and the church I attend lines up very closely to the teaching in the Holy Bible. If you understand the holiness of God you’ll understand that mankind is fallen and that all of mankind is in rebellion against God. Fortunately, Jesus came as the lamb of God - the perfect sacrifice for sinful man. All believers in Jesus the Christ are saved.
“Jesus said to her “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.”
The Gospel is not more complicated than that. If you believe in Jesus and His plan of redemption then you are saved.
@@Psalm146-2
You: I’ve been blessed to have been saved since 1986
Me: Unless you died and were judged as saved by Jesus ad are now in Heaven, you have not yet been declared as "saved".
You: the church I attend lines up very closely to the teaching in the Holy Bible.
Me: Close only matters in horseshoes and hand grenades. Your church is 500 years old, best case. The ONLY church established by God is 2000 years old. You not in IT!
You: All believers in Jesus the Christ are saved.
Me: Do you suggest that you believe in everything that Jesus taught? Can you even define what a believer is? What does Scripture say is the opposite of a believer?
You: If you believe in Jesus and His plan of redemption then you are saved.
Me: The demons believe in that and yet they are NOT saved. You might need a new definition.
@@bridgefin You are overcomplicating the Gospel and overthinking issues that are irrelevant. You are going to get yourself so twisted around that you’ll become more and more confused and then you’ll just give up trying to understand truth.
If you could boil down the New Testament to its most basic message it would be this…
John 11:25 “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live”
All New Testament truth radiates out from this verse (there are a few similar verses). Meditate on this verse - and in light of this verse all others will start to make sense to you. Don’t worry about things like the age of the church - it doesn’t matter - the Holy Bible was written for all people of every generation.
Tahnk you God bless 🙏

I agree with one of the comment that was posted. The only thing matters is we focus on Gods word(The Bible) and only the Bible. You have to get into the right Bible. This Bible is not written by man but by God so if we only go by his word, they will be no division.

I am a Catholic. God bless Jesus Christ the Lord and his Holy Catholic Church. God bless Mother Mary and all the Angels and Saints in Heaven
1:21 We are Catholic. Corrections:
1) we are not a denomination, we are the one a only True Church left to us by Jesus.
2) we are not popular at all. Most Protestants do not like us and want really is to convert us.
2:58 Transubstantiation, John 6. Before it was called as such, is the changing of bread and wine during the consecration at the mass. Only priests can do this. The bread and wine are transformed into the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ, while keeping the appearance of bread and wine. Only those in a state of grace, with full confession of sins and absolution can partake in the communion. So those who are unblemished of all sins.
5:12 Baptism in the Catholic church is most of the time performed on babies, but not always sometimes we get baptized later. I was baptized at 11. And this "Baptist's Belivers Baptism" could be equated to what we call Confirmation, where we profess our faith and have the Holy Spirit sealed into us. We are typically a little bit older. Protestants always focused on infant baptisms and that somehow they shouldn't be allowed. But we basically do two Sacraments or three if you also consider the First Communion, to be like a full adult Catholic prior to marriage or Holy Orders.
@@richardcastro1276 protestants somehow believe babies are innocent. While the Bible teaches that original sin is in us from the womb.
Not Christian. Totally different gospel and you demean JESUS. TOTAL BLASPHEMY
Anglicanism/Episcopalianism (same thing)
Methodism,
Nazarene holiness movement,
And Pentecostalism are probably my favorite denominations.
What I call the Thomas Cranmerian religious lineage.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's fascinating to see how different denominations shape our understanding of faith. The Thomas Cranmerian lineage has certainly had a significant impact on Anglicanism and beyond. What aspects of these traditions resonate with you the most? We'd love to hear more!

What about the 7th. Day Adventists. SDA Denomination.
They idolize Ellen White, which is a sin.
@@anthonybarnes1903 That is not true.
We are saved by grace through faith and NOT by good works lest any man should boast. We do good works because God wants us to and we love Him and want to please Him. We do not do them to merit salvation. Perhaps they may earn us crowns to wear and then to cast at Jesus' feet. But our salvation was paid in full when Jesus said "It is finished". Any attempt to redeem you own soul is an insult to The Lamb who was sacrificed in your place.
Wish the video went in the order the denominations were founded ie the Catholic church then Lutheran etc to make it easier to build upon previous information and historical events that started each denomination.
Thanks that's a good idea, might do that next time for this topic
@@bible_tales_yes, and please include where the canon of scripture was for 1500 years before Luther.
Start with the church of Christ
33 AD .
Where's the TRINITY? It's VERY IMPORTANT!
I whole-heartedly agree with you!
All these denominations but yet only one true gospel.
When Jesus said he would build his church upon this Rock, he wasn't talking about Peter, he was talking about himself as The Rock. Peter is not the first pope!
True to a point, but the rock was revelation. The true Church has revelation to a prophet and has apostles in it. Yes, Jesus gives that revelation, but only 1 Christian Church teaches this.
Peter has the keys to the kingdom. Call him pebble, little stone, whatever, he still has the keys of authority which Jesus gave him.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's a fascinating interpretation, and many people have different views on this passage. The idea of Jesus as the foundation is definitely a strong one. We love hearing diverse perspectives on these stories! Keep the conversation going! 😊
@donaldjones9830 not to a point, it's just true.
there is no "true church" there is a body of true believers. an assembly is believers in fellowship, worshipping The One True God, thru the only intercessor necessary being our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. The Word made flesh.
@@bridgefin He did maybe but he is in heaven now, we are all saints in Jesus path. The pope is a heretic anyway.
Imagine a world where we remove the barriers created by the division of Christianity into all the different denominations. Maybe I'll write a song about this. For instance, in a town, could it be refreshing, and more cost effective, to build one building instead of many. Instead of building more buildings, that same money could go toward bettering the society and helping those that need it the most. That body of believers would have 3 things in common. If they love God, they love their neighbor, and they accept Jesus as their savior, that might just be enough to unify them all.
Why does it keep zooming in and out. I feel like I should be wearing 3D glasses.
What are you saying?? Is his a catholic channel??
We've done our best to give an unbias view for this video.
@@bible_tales_good job
How about just reading the Bible fervently and develop a relationship with Christ where you pray during times of need, but also praying during good times as well as bad ones. Overall, prayer is communication with God directly. So prayer should be done at any time during the day no matter what the reason is. And repenting is the key point in acknowledging your sins before God, followed by a sincere change of heard and reading God's Word daily. Doing these things is enough for your salvation to be genuine.
OK, you are born in the year 150 ad into a family which follows Christ. No New Testament. Nothing written in your hands. What are you going to do now?
@@vladimator1842 finally someone who gets it. Tired of all these ritualistic religions trying to take a stab at True Followers of Christ. We actually build a relationship with God through his word with our own eyes, not someone elses words. However the word is to be used to teach as needed. Not lul people to sleep with repetitive rituals. STOP, go to Christ people.
@@bridgefin then I'd imagine I'd be the prophet being given the word to write down. What would be your role? Elijah understood, somehow I think that wouldnt be most people in 150 AD. Most people wouldve been the ones throwing the first stone. I tell you, he has already came and you rejected him. What makes you think you'll accept him in any other form with or without the bible. The Testaments were given to us in progression and are to be used as such. Old Testament was the law which we no longer are forced to abide by when Jesus fulfilled the law which is primarily what the new testament is about which is why were are told to spread the gospels not the old testament rituals. However, you better know both, both are equally important. The only person who's wrong is the one who doesnt fervently read their bible start to finish over and over again. THAT should be the only repetitive task and praying constantly in the spirit. That's TRULY living in the spirit.
And daily repentance.
You: ...then I'd imagine I'd be the prophet being given the word to write down.
Me: Well, you obviously weren't selected by God to do that which would make you a false prophet.
You: What makes you think you'll accept him in any other form with or without the bible.
Me: No one has a bible. There is no canon established yet. You're being very evasive. I see you have no answers. There is no NT canon yet and there never was a consistent OT canon since different groups used different lists. So you have no answer.
You: And daily repentance.
Me: Where did you get that idea from?

What is about old-catholics, who splitt after the vaticanian council.
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Ephesians 4:4-6 KJV
When the people heard this, they were deeply troubled and said to Peter and the other apostles, “What shall we do, brothers?” Peter said to them, “Each one of you must turn away from your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins will be forgiven; and you will receive God's gift, the Holy Spirit. For God's promise was made to you and your children, and to all who are far away-all whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” Peter made his appeal to them and with many other words he urged them, saying, “Save yourselves from the punishment coming on this wicked people!” Many of them believed his message and were baptized, and about three thousand people were added to the group that day. They spent their time in learning from the apostles, taking part in the fellowship, and sharing in the fellowship meals and the prayers.
Acts 2:37-42 GNT
I wrote you in my [previous] letter not to associate with [sexually] immoral people- not meaning the immoral people of this world, or the greedy ones and swindlers, or idolaters, for then you would have to get out of the world and human society altogether! But actually, I have written to you not to associate with any so-called [Christian] brother if he is sexually immoral or greedy, or is an idolater [devoted to anything that takes the place of God], or is a reviler [who insults or slanders or otherwise verbally abuses others], or is a drunkard or a swindler-you must not so much as eat with such a person. For what business is it of mine to judge outsiders (non-believers)? Do you not judge those who are within the church [to protect the church as the situation requires]? God alone sits in judgment on those who are outside [the faith]. Remove the wicked one from among you [expel him from your church].
1 Corinthians 5:9-13 AMP
“Not everyone who calls me ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but only those who do what my Father in heaven wants them to do. When the Judgment Day comes, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord! In your name we spoke God's message, by your name we drove out many demons and performed many miracles!’ Then I will say to them, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you wicked people!’
Matthew 7:21-23 GNT
I'm Pentecostal, but not a member in any denomination.
I was in a certain denomination for many years, after I was saved. Saw so much church politics. In most of them it's just about money and numbers. I left that denomination, and will never join another.

What I would say is,do a bit of research on why it can't be a true Christian denomination and match it against the Nicaean creed (the how to point out heresy creed) in order to get your answer.

Well, the Bible used by all denominations is compiled, collected and created by the Catholic Church aka as Roman Catholic Church the one true church established by the son of God Jesus Christ. I opened my eyes and heart to learn other denominations I respect them but my questions were all answered by the Catholic Church biblically, historically, traditionally and with authority given by Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ conquered the Roman Empire by His righteous ways with the power of His words and teachings that’s why it only shows that the central of Christianity is Rome. I was born a Catholic and I will die a Catholic!!! Praise the Almighty GOD creator of heaven and earth!!!

The Catholic Church murdered many, many, many people. They forced people to be christians. They worship the so-called mother mary, which is an idol. And in their churches, they kneel down to a dead jesus on a cross. They mixed paganism with the christianity. They confess their sins to a priest but Jesus is the only High Priest.They told all the European countries to conquer the countries of color and make slave out of them. One of the popes tried to apologize for all of their own doings, but it is too late. You sir do not know anything about the history of the catholic church. Look and get the facts right.
@Mat, 10: 34-36, Jesus said, "Do not think I come to bring peace, but sword," Sword are his figurative,divisive statements towards his critics, but to his own apostles, he secretly revealed to them the truth, and instructs them to preach without using figurative words, @Mat,10:26-28, / 13:10-11, / Mark, 4:34,, therefore, christians denominations today were the results of their failure to learn what is figurative or non figurative Jesus declarations, then, Jesus warned, that no one of those bringing his name can inherit God's kingdom, @ Mat, 7:21-23/ Mat, 24: , excepts those doing his father's will on earth,

Great information about the churches but the one Holy Catholic Church is the only one that was established by Jesus Christ through the ministry of St. Peter and the Apostles. The Catholic Church is not a denomination it is the Church. All others are denominations established by men like Martin Luther John Calvan and others. For 1500 years after Christ the early Church was the Catholic Church. Referencing Dr. Scott Hann Apologist Tim Staples Apologist Dr. Taylor Marshal and many other converts to The Church. After Martin Luther today there are over 42,000 denominations. Church established by Christ one Holy Catholic Church or the breakaway churches established by men?
No mention of the Anabaptists beyond a single comment?
True Christians can explain the solid dome Firmament, and how God put the sun moon and stars in it on day 4 and they understand Joshua's longest day, when God stopped the sun and moon, they also accept the Bible when it tells us about the stationary Earth.
The Bible tells us to question everything and hold good. Only the true actually do it.
There is more than one form of Baptist. Each different branch, I guess is the way to say it. Anyway they each teach different doctrines.
There is and always was a gruop that only God considered. That group was all those he saved throughout time, from all over the earth, and from out of all circumstances or belief systems. These be the true belivers, of the invisible church, not the nation of Israel, and not the corporate churches.
The church established by Jesus is incarnate and not a figment. Those who are saved in the end are potentially so diverse in belief that they cannot be classified as "true believers". But they apparently got the one thing right in God's estimation.

Right, they are invited to enter in the new life. But on earth let's keep our facts straight and not get muddled up on false sentimentality. There is a church on earth. It was established by God. It is the path back to him. No one will be saved outside of it but not all who will be saved will find themselves within its physical walls in this lifetime.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's true that God's grace extends beyond any specific group or institution. The concept of the "invisible church" highlights the personal relationship believers have with Him, regardless of their background. It's a beautiful reminder that faith transcends boundaries. We appreciate your engagement and look forward to more discussions!
Talking about the Orthodox Church, author names Greek, Russian and Serbian churches. Greek church was founded in the first century, but Russia became orthodox in the 10th century. The Orthodox Church of Georgia is one of the oldest churches in the world. It asserts apostolic foundation, and that its historical roots can be traced to the early and late Christianization of Iberia and Colchis by Andrew the Apostle in the 1st century AD and by Saint Nino in the 4th century AD, respectively. Russians didn’t even have the alphabet, which was created for them by the Greek missionaries, Cyril and Methodius in the tenth century. Russians occupied Georgia and assumed it’s place in the dyptichs. Before Russian baptism, Many countries became orthodox. Constantine the great was born on the Serbian territory in the three hundreds.Ukrainians assert their connection to Apostle Andrew. Bulgaria, Romania also begin their history to the first century. So much to say, no space.
The Catholic Church is NOT denomination. It was the very church that Jesus started.
Catholics are Mariologists, not Christians, Jesus never established any church.
The Protestant churches are constantly reforming themselves, skimming off the dross in the smelting process of purification. Sometimes the reforming process results in yet another denomination of Protestantism.
You can't purify lead into gold.

And yet, they cannot agree on what that Bible says.

THE WORD DENOMINATION MEANS DIVIDE. THIS SHOULD SAY A LOT
Thank you for your comment! You bring up an important point about the meaning of "denomination." It's true that divisions can sometimes lead to misunderstandings. Our goal is to focus on the core messages of love and unity found in the Bible. Let's continue to explore those together!
I think adherence to the Nicene Creed is what fully defines Christianity.....that is why it was created in the 330sAD
The Nicene Creed plainly states, "We believe in the one baptism for the remission of sins." I never met a Southern Baptist who believes that, even though it is plainly taught in the NT.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! The Nicene Creed certainly plays a significant role in defining core Christian beliefs. It's fascinating how historical documents like this shape our understanding of faith today. What aspects of the Creed resonate most with you?
Not biblical .. obey God rather than men.
And educated and schooled in Baptist theology and doctrine and dogma.
All religions unite in a big religion
Isn't it odd Simon Peter is regarded as first Pope when Jesus personally left his church to James the Just
Odd but also not true. History is based on fact and not your interpretations. Peter was Jesus' first pope and Linus was Peter's successor.
In the Bible, God describes the process by which he cleanses the church, as a smelting as if of metals. He describes heating the metal/church and skimming off the dross with each cycle of heating. The dross is the cleansing of the filth and impurities from the metal, and the refining of the metal. Therefore, each time the Protestant Church bifurcates in an effort to cleanse the dross, it is part of the refining process.
Jesus also warned that ravenous wolves would enter into the church disguised as sheep and would fleece the flock, molest the lambs, and scatter the flock. And that is exactly what has happened!
Up until the 3rd century, the church was made up of Jewish Christians who led in the conversion of Gentiles to the Christian sect of Judaism. But the Roman wolves, dressed as sheep, entered into the Jewish Christian flock, fleece the flock, began to molest the lambs, and scattered the sheep into different denominations.
Each of these denominations struggle to purge themselves of the false teachings of the Roman Church and find their way back to fundamental Christianity which is actually fundamental Torah teaching.
Jesus was a fundamental Torah teacher. He taught the basic principles of God's teachings. He taught in open fields, in homes, in humble synagogues. Jesus did not teach the construction of magnificent cathedrals, grossly ornate churches, or governmental structures like the Vatican where the pope sits on a golden throne. Jesus taught humility. He did not accumulate wealth, but slept outside under the stars in the Garden of Gethsemane. This is quite the opposite of most churches today.
The Catholic Church IS NOT a denomination!!! The word came in use when the many Protestant churches arrived on the scene over a thousand years after the Catholic Church.
Which word ,catholic or denomination.?
@@richardwachira7130 The word "denomination," in the context of religion, started being used in the 16th century, particularly around the time of the Protestant Reformation. It was used to refer to different branches or groups within Christianity that had distinct beliefs and practices, as various sects broke away from the Roman Catholic Church. The term gradually expanded to apply to various religious subdivisions across different faiths.
Throw away all human creeds; and traditions. Take GOD'S inspired word (the Bible) as the only true guide. The only blueprint.🙏🛐

For God so Loved the World, That he gave his only Begotten Son, That Whosoever Believeth in him Should Not Perish, But have Everlasting Life.
John 3:16kjv
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be Saved.
Acts 16:31kjv
John 3:36: Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
Opposite of belief is DISOBEDIENCE. So your belief must include obedience, not just intellectual assent.
@bridgefin you obey when you Believe. You have a perverted Bible
@@TH3D4RKKNIGHT
You obey if you follow those commandments that God imposes on us. And yes, that IS part of belief.

But to him that Worketh Not, But Believeth on him that Justifieth the Ungodly, His Faith is Counted for Righteousness.
Romans 4:5kjv
For by Grace are ye Saved through Faith; And that Not of Yourselves: It is the Gift of God; Not of Works, Lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9kjv
Knowing that a man is Not Justified by the Works of the Law But by the Faith of Jesus Christ, Even we have Believed in Jesus Christ, That we might be Justified by the Faith of Christ And Not by the Works of the Law; For by the Works of the Law Shall No Flesh be Justified.
Galatians 2:16kjv
For the wages of sin is death, But the Gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:23kjv
Therefore we conclude that a man is Justified by Faith, Without the deeds of the Law.
Romans 3:28kjv

Supposedly Jesus prayed that his followers would "be one". That was one prayer for sure that G-d did not answer since there are over 40,000 denominations with various opinions and doctrines and practices.
God did answer that prayer and his church is one. The rebels have left and everyday he is further purifying his church.
When the time is right the Lord God Himself will separate the wheat from the tares. We are not to attempt to do this but God will. So in conclusion, God's Church at this moment in time is exactly as He wants it to be.
Also, you may want to see what the Bible says about scoffers - it may be of interest.
@@L.Fontein7
I never said who is or is not saved. I merely stated the truth that as far as God's church was concerned it was intact and those who preferred to go elsewhere have done so thus preserving the church as one....One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism. As for the rebels even some of them might find salvation. If telling the truth makes me a "scoffer" then so be it.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's true that Jesus prayed for unity among His followers, and the diversity in denominations can be quite overwhelming. However, many believe that this diversity can also enrich our understanding of faith. It's important to focus on the core message of love and grace that unites us all. What are your thoughts on how we can bridge these differences?
I'll tell you what denominations are about . Ego driven nonsense that keeps Christians from coming together as a whole to worship God ! It causes everyone to argue their religious beliefs dividing us instead of bringing us together in the service of God !
Denom and demon is a m and n switch. Dont trust demonization
Thank you for your comment! It's interesting to think about the play on words with "denom" and "demon." It's always important to approach these topics with discernment. If you have any specific thoughts or questions about demonization in the Bible, feel free to share! We love hearing from our viewers. 😊
If christianity is a religion from God, why is there so many versions of Christianity.
Because it's a religion *for* people. It's not *from* anything.
One true version
Eph 4:4-6 .
Christianity is from God and he established one church. You are confusing Christianity with Protestantism which is not from God but from rebellious man.
The speaker thinks that his assessment of the faithfulness of Catholics determines something. It doesn't except maybe for those poor Catholics he witnessed. Truth is the only thing that matters and the truth is that Jesus established the Catholic Church. He promised that the gates of hell would not prevail against it and he promised the spirit of truth to be with its leaders forever. And the truth is that Protestantism restored nothing but it invented heresies. It is not protected in truth and hell succeeds in splitting it up almost daily.

I'm really not interested in the numerous christian denominations. What I do believe is that everyone of them are incorrect and unable to prove gad exists (at least without credible evidence). I also know not any one of those denominations can agree on the same doctrines. Christianity is not the most populist of religions. It is Hindu and than Muslim.
The Catholic Church is not a denomination. Denominations began in the 16th century. The Catholic (universal) Church began in 33 AD
The Orthodox church is weird, I dont know how anyone who reads and believes the bible could think that the Orthodox church is the one true church
Too many seeking truth *fail to find* because they're easily *led astray* by worldly logic, sensuality, vain esoterism or specious mysticisms. *I know I was.*
I'm an ex neo-vedantic (hindu roots) new ager. I used to be into so much "cosmic/spiritual" stuff: trance channelings, ancient wisdom, gnosticism, psychedelic drugs, hindu gurus and buddhist variants. I was illuminated by the *kundalini (serpent) spirit* then 8 years ago I got rightly enlightened by the *Holy Spirit* - which proceeded to show me what a *fool* I was before..... Spirit led to the REAL *Yahusha/Jesus Christ* and everything changed - *Paradigm Shifted* .....
This is being *BORN AGAIN* (John 3) and it's an ongoing surprise to me 😁
Turns out Spirituality is a *soul serious* business taken way too lightly by *far too many* ....
The End-Times are clearly *dead ahead,* a time of Antichrist is near.
It escapes the notice of our self-absorbed, glamour-saturated world that we're in a spiritual WAR for souls. The immensity of *ignorance* is astonishing: supernal powers are BEDAZZLING the minds of the masses (Ephesians 6:12). We've inherited ancient spiritual subversion: *the Earth is fallen* ..... the holistic fields of nature are fallen state; *"Morphic Resonance"* is OUT of affinity with DIVINITY; *Death is all too familiar;* Natural life hunts, KILLS and *feeds* on itself.
Humanity is a spiritually *fallen race* highly prone to *deceit and delusion.*
FRANKLY, we need a SAVIOUR and by Jesus Christ we have a GREAT ONE
As a new ager I couldn't believe (I was *damn sure* I knew better) but in the *Light of Spirit* Jesus really is the *Way, the truth and the Life* just like He said: no one comes to GOD except through Jesus, there's no other way (Matthew 7:13-14). Being a neo-vedantist I wasn't convinced, yet the Bible is Spirit breathed, written by men inspired by the *Holy Spirit.* Jesus is vividly portrayed and endorsed in the new testament, in fact he's apparent in the old testament too (Luke 24:27 & 44) and by *His LIGHT* we're allowed to *see* that and *know Him.* Any intellectual concerns or previously perceived discrepancies/contradictions are ironed out and the supernatural narrative flows most beautifully.....
The Bible is the Revelation of *Jesus Christ* (Isaiah 2:2-4; 9:6-7, 11:1-10 & 45:23, Daniel 7:13-14, Matthew 28:18, Mark 14:61-62, Revelation 1:7-8 & 18, Rev 19:11-21)
I am a child of Jesus our loving, faithful, just GOD❤️
Thank you for sharing that beautiful sentiment! It's wonderful to see your faith shining through. Jesus truly is our loving and faithful guide. Keep spreading that love! ❤
Efree. But I was raised Baptist.
