I disagree with your utter aversion to analogies, since the Fathers used them. The whole point of analogies is that they dont represent reality perfectly, like maps of the globe or the 2D representation of a cube. When you use all the analogies together they point to the truth of the Trinity, just like all projections of the globe point to the truth about it. Just like using Mercator doesnt mean you believe Greenland is half the size of Africa using the analogies dont necessarily point towards heresy. All analogies by definition fall short, even more so an analogy of God. That doesnt mean analogies are intrinsically misleading, only that you need to be careful with them, to not fall into -the belief that antartica is larger than africa- a heresy.
Demonstrates that god apparently does not care how he is worshipped. I mean, all it would have taken to stop Martin Luther was one conversation with an angel. All it would have taken to stop the Mormons is one Angel showing up at the first sermon, telling evreyone that this guy is high and should not be listened to. Same with Islam. Muslims are worshipping the same god in a different way. God apparently does not care.
My anxiety when trying to figure out what the trinity is without committing heresy: 📈📈📈📈📈📈 Edit: Holy moly there's some conflict brewing in the comment section 😭
If we go outside Biblical sources. In Jewish mysticism God must be separated from creation because his absolute nature erase any existence (lake of sulphur may be in fact the God himself). Heaven is separated from the God by the barrier, in which there is eight cracks known as Ophanim (in Christianity called Seraphim) who transfer isolated aspects of God into creation, creating eight heavens/virtues. Plus additional barrier what separate truly godless space guarded by four Elemental Angels called Living Beasts (Cherubim), known as Leviathan, Behemot, Ziz and Bael. Who are under control of Angel of Destruction and King of Sheol Sandelphon (Abaddon). Seven heavens are in charge of Angelic princes called Archangels who represent seven virtues and seven Serpahin, who as overmind do not have own personalities and collectively represent God. It is why God in bible say "ours" calling himself. But one of Seraphims represent Sentience itself and as such it has personas, being both Archangel of Wisdom Raziel Helel (The Son) who directly control own domain, King of Angels and Voice of God Metatron (The Father) and mentioned Sandelphon (Holly Spirit of Creation). Those three persona of Sepahims are the Trinity and they are in fact the God.
Recently started becoming a Christian after being an edgy athiest for much longer than I would like to admit. These videos have been super helpful with helping me understand the faith. Thank you so much!
Confusion. That is the single word that describes the human condition. Have you read the bible? The biblical corpus of books that provide the core material for all of the theological theories and doctrines? The Isms? If you haven’t read it all, I suggest doing that before listening to or reading multiple isms / theological theories. That should clear your confusion.
@@JesusChrist-jh6jo excellent. Read with a clear mind if you can. Take the words directly without reference to others interpretations. See through a clear lens - if that is possible.

@@hkskh70040 it’s not just evil. In simple terms, you can see natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis devastate innocent people, and kids born with horrid deformities and conditions.

Thanks for this. I'm beginning my own journey into faith now, after living most of my life more or less ignorant of it. I have so many questions, there's so much I can't comprehend about what's written, versus what's preached by different denominations. Thankfully I've found a link with a local church, and I'm going to meet with the rector soon to seek some guidance. All I want is to live a good, peaceful life. I'm praying this is my first step on that path.
Ok... There is one God the Father. Jesus is a god but he is not God. Jesus is the only begotten of the Father and the holy spirit is not a god he's a spirit. All three are seperate and distinct individuals but are apart of the Godhead. God, the individual we worship is our father who created us all. Jesus Christ his only begotten son is the mediator of his plan to get us imperfect mortal children back home to father. Through Jesus Christ and his example and sacrifice we are saved and will return home. The holy spirit speaks to us and helps us in are daily lives to navigate this evil world. Im starting to notice that "Christianity" isn't very christian and is completely wrong and full of heresy's of the actual gospel of Jesus Christ. This makes me sad for all the people who are deceived by Satan into not knowing this. 😢
I think it’s important to recognise that even if your mind can’t fully grasp some of these concepts, it doesn’t reflect on your salvation. Blatantly denying them is one thing, but you can be uneducated and illiterate and still be saved by the grace of God without understanding these things fully. Be blessed! 😊
I mean, if you come to the conclusion that God is multiple gods, then yeah; You're not worshipping God. That's essentially what heresy boils down to. if you are creating a God in a different image than our God, then you aren't actually worshipping God, rather an idol. So yeah. @@magic_honey

@@madmax3655 last I checked, Protestants believe in one God, the trinitarian God, that Jesus Christ died for our sins and was resurrected on the 3rd day, transcended to Heaven to come back with all his saints. The catholic credo is the evangelic credo, the difference is only in traditions, which aren't biblical and one might consider optional. Same with orthodoxy, who have a much stronger focus on tradition than even catholics, but fundamentally have the same credo. You can argue all day long how far the evangelic church has fallen into worldliness and apostasy, but in all fairness the catholic church has too, the protestants only seem to be always one step ahead of the catholics in that regard.

I remember studying Gnosticism in high school. Like you said RZ, the lore is ridiculously complex and confusing to the point that it’s basically just a different religion that uses Christianity as the foundation. In Gnosticism the “God” of the Old Testament is not even God. He’s some demigod or some sort of lesser god. It’s worth studying to understand how pervasive this idea of “spiritual good, physical bad” is and how it has affected modern Christian sects. Interesting side note: The creators of the Matrix movies are Gnostics. The films are essentially Gnostic allegories. My literature teacher had my class watch the first movie at home and try to pick out where the Gnostic influence/message came into play.
Great let’s glorify dismissing someone before even letting him speak. Wow you guys are definitely the true non heretic Christian, well done. You definitely read Isaiah 13:11 and Proverbs 16 and apply it everyday. Nice.
@@vatt3436Okay that’s true but he literally said one can’t make analogies between the Holy Trinity and any earthly thing because the trinity isn’t like anything in the world, so any analogy can effectively be dismissed
When you are saying 'that's heresy!!!!' with the sound effect, that sent chills down my spine. I am Muslim and I want to understand Christianity so as to have fruitful conversations with others. What concerns me is how little theology is taught in churches so many Christians (extrapoling my small sample size) are heretics. Youre doing a good job.
When I was very little, my dad tried explaining the trinity to me, and how it was a complex and infinite subject, but I thought I figured it out and told him I had it solved it, and that god just switched back and forth between the three of them, basically modalism. He was veeerrry quick to explain that thats was NOT it 😂
Nope but I’m pissed this guy doesn’t understand what Mormons believe and label them heretics simply because he doesn’t understand that you don’t have to use the exact same quote every time to describe the same thing otherwise it’s heresy. I get that someone could interpret Mormons as being tritheists if they looked for it but they really aren’t and in the 19th century when everyone persecuted them it had nothing to do with the trinity and everything to do with polygyny.

But you don't have any good evidence so you make up an excuse like this. OH, and he does owe me because a threat without evidence isn't really a threat. His message is quite clear. He sent Jesus to threaten all mankind. Either believe in him, love and obey him and if you don't he will torture you in the most possible way for eternity by throwing you into his torture pit called Hell. So yeah, you do owe me at minimum one good piece of evidence that he exists because god won't. Why would an all powerful, all knowing god who loves me not give me just one good piece of evidence he exists? This should not be a problem for him to do since he supposed to be able to do anything possible. Instead he has to rely on humans to spead his word, just like every other religion - none of these gods provide good evidence they exist. In other words you are just like every other religion with no good evidence for the existence of their god or gods.

@@vSwampFox Which heresy does the Protestant church commit? If it's something created by the Catholic church, does it have a scriptural basis? Legitimate questions - not trying to pry or be sarcastic. No church or denomination has the power to denounce something unless it is directly in contradiction with a scriptural commandment or obvious truth. Anything else is man-centered. The reason for sola scriptura is that, if you are starting at any other point than directly God's words which came from Him, it is going to be inherently flawed. 1 Cor 4:6 is a good text for this.
@@N1c2k3 Well it's probably important for you to figure out first, why you have the premise in your mind to say these phrases.

Quote/ "No church or denomination has the power to denounce something unless it is directly in contradiction with a scriptural commandment or obvious truth". "Anything else is man-centered." " The reason for sola scriptura is that, if you are starting at any other point than directly God's words which came from Him, it is going to be inherently flawed." /end Quote That alone is quite the list of things already preconceived in your mind. Especially considering, scripture contradicts what you're saying. -God gave the Apostles the authority to bind and loose. What did they Bind & Loose? A lot of things. Both before Christ's death, and after. Not all of which are written in what you call the Bible. -"Obvious Truth", is a completely subjective statement. -There is no holy scripture, instructing the apostles, nor the disciples, to collect, and decipher books being written by themselves, and then declare which of these hundreds of books are or are not worthy for divine teaching. The only scripture that even attempts to covers such a task, is the authority given to them, by Jesus, to Bind & Loose. -Sola Scriptura is a man made belief philosophy taught by very late Christian sects. Ancient Christendom, never mentions this ideology. Ever. Plus, Paul himself contradicts this belief system, when he instructs his listeners of the things they are to do, that are not written, but are heard and passed down through tradition. Not to mention, there was no bible during the time of their teaching and preaching. Hope this helps you on your journey. I'm certain it's plenty food for thought. PS- If you are really interested in deep history, regarding Christianity, NewAdvent \.org is an incredible resource for historical writings. Cheers
He forgot the worst heresy of them all - six centuries ago the church sent 5 consecutive crusades (around 100 000 soldiers each) against the worst enemy of christianity - a group of bohemian peasants who committed the worst heresy of them all - they believed paying indulgences (money to the church) for removal of sins is immoral. They dared to question the most profitable income of the church. Fun fact - all 5 of the crusader armies were beaten by those peasants, the last one ran away without a fight. Those peasants were the first to use guns as a main weapon in the army, ended the era of the "knight in the shining armor".
Ok so how do you explain these verses if there's One triune God? Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is One." John 10:30 "I and My Father are One." John 14:9b "He who has seen Me has seen the Father." God does not exist as three because as God's Son Jesus is God, and Jesus' Spirit is the Holy Spirit. All the positions of the Godhead are summed up through Jesus Christ. Trinitarians(80% of the Christian world)commit the partialist heresy by creating two more persons. Jews and Oneness Christians, like myself, know God is One God in One person. Look up the word Trinity in the Bible and you won't find it, but look up verses about Oneness and you will find there are over 200 verses that affirm the Oneness of God
@@clintparker oneness Christians love to take that verse out of context. Let me ask you something, you realize that the word used in the old testament for the Lord being one, is the same word used to describe a union? You heretics don't even realize it. Yall stick to pure english translations since if you read what it actually says, it contradicts you. Y'all barely have scripture to back you up
If it's only one person, how could the holy spirit come down as a dove and the father speak through the clouds, as well as Jesus be baptized at the same time? Explain that then, you're using arguments from silence, the "why is Trinity word not in bibel" like some monkey who can't do 2 and 2, thats like saying the word Bible isn't in the Bible.

TBH, I think this video is probably making more people irreligious. It only "makes sense" (ie - it completely does not) to people that are already faithful. To those that are wavering in their faith, it show how illogical the most fundamental tenets of Christianity are and might actually push them to abandon what little faith they had had.

“Before Him all the nations are as nought, as nothing and void He counts them” Isaiah 40:17, that includes the United States. Idolatry and blasphemy is all that’s behind the hood of nationalism
Yes that is valid. Tying nationality to religion corrupts both. One must live in the world, but to worship a government of man is not the intent of the gospel ministry. Divorcing the endeavor from the dictates of man's governments is one of the things that brought forth the executions and suffering.

Jesus also says the geatest commandment is ”Hear O Israel! Your God is One!” Jesus also says Father is greater than he (Jesus). He also says ”I am going back to my Father and your Father, my God and your God”. Does God have a God? Not ONCE did Jesus say you should worship him, or that he is god. Yet multiple times he says Father is the greatest, Father is the Only True God, worship only the Father and so on. Again: follow religion OF Jesus, not religion ABOUT Jesus. Jesus didn’t preach christianity, and he wasn’t a christian.
I would note that he is a Calvinist. So there is a bias of his own within the theology he follows. I’d take his explanations with a grain of salt. His explanation of Pelagianism is a term Calvinists throw on non-Calvinists to metaphorically beat them into submission to Calvinism. I’d suggest reading more on what Pelagius _actually_ taught before using this video as a template for your dive into Christianity.
@klaustheViking is right, this video is excellent, but its explanation of Pelagianism is where it falls short. We aren't born guilty of Adam's sin, or God would judge us for Adam's sin on Judgement day, and we know God judges us for our own sin, not the sin of others. We aren't born sinful (as in guilty of sin). We are born with a fallen nature that is fatally inclined to sin (will sin given the opportunity.) This is why babies don't go to hell if they die, they aren't held responsible for sins they didn't commit. Also there is the age of acountability, but that requires some more biblical research/explanation than I can give in a UA-cam comment. Like I said though, great video apart from the Pelagianism explanation.
But babies do sin. Our fallen nature leads all of us to sin constantly in everything we do. Their sins are miniscule and trivial in comparison to what we do, of course, but if you believe that they have souls then you must believe that they have the guilt of sin, the same as we all do. So what happens to them? The answer is that nobody knows. My belief is that everyone who has not accepted Christ due to ignorance or incapacity is, at the moment of death, given a full and perfect knowledge of the Truth, and is given one final opportunity to believe in Jesus then.
Hey, I love watching your videos, I learn a lot from them. You should definitely make one about Jehovah's witnesses if it's not already the case, maybe I missed it. Thank your your hard work, God Bless ❤
Thank you RZ for this video! Your content has really been helping me getting my faith back recently. Keep doing what you are doing! Ignore the haters that have polluted the comments of this video, as they clearly have nothing interesting to say. God bless! ✝
I don't understand this video. If God isn't 3 parts and pelagianism is not true, then how does Jesus' crucifixion make sense? God sent his son, who is also himself, to die for us, even though He can't die, because He's eternal, and was sent to Hell, even though God is existence itself as you said in another video, so if Hell is devoid of God's presence, Hell doesn't exist, to save the righteous who were sent to Hell and also prove in his ressurection that he had gained victory over the powers of Hell, that is, the problems of sin and death, problems God (also Jesus) created in the first place by punishing all of us with original sin due to Adam and Eve's sin that clearly wasn't our fault. What is this?!
Super excited, cannot wait. If you ever get the chance, a video on antinomianism could be useful, I know many protestants are starting to tiptoe on the verge of it, so that could be could
As a non-Christian, I love and appreciate your content so much. It helps me understand my own beliefs very well and respect Christian faith. Thank you for your content.
Damn you really called me out! Just realized I have indeed pretty much been living like a Gnostic. The idea that God cares for and truly values this broken physical world is insane to me but the more I think about it the more I realize it's true. I think this is maybe your most important video for Christians because it highlights the little inconsistencies we may have been having about what we actually believe that isn't biblical. God bless you brother
Except this physical world is not "broken". It is God's great & wonderful Creation. It is not fallen. True Gnosis is Knowledge. Christianity is Superstition. For someone denigrating Gnosticism it's funny how Christians incorporated much of Pseudo-Gnosticism in their hatred of God's glorious Creation as being somehow Corrupted. Bible was Written by Men, Compiled by Men, interpreted by Men. Every step of that was a Political one with what written, what complied, what interpretations of the text to be taken all taken as Political decisions.
in what way is the world "broken"? what would an "unbroken" world look like? a world without problems? if so it seem that there is nothing of value to do in such a world because nothing can be improved.
There's nothing wrong with gnosticism - even the crudely oversimplified version of it summarized in this video. It was one of the first versions of Christianity to show up in the Apostolic period. Why dismiss it? Just because NIcean Christianity bullied its way to the front in the 4th century, thanks to the political power of Constantinople? As far as we know, some of the apostles could have been gnostic.
@@nicetryfbi438 No i'm talking about the origins of conservative ideology, depending on what your opinion of the origin (France or America) then it was either built off a Tyrannical environment or one with slavery EDIT : i also forgot to mention that conservatism is directly incompatible with christianity, due to the generally "me first" regressive core of the ideology conflicting with the more communal and worker focused teachings of jesus
Great video. As a christian , i think that my family isn’t interested enough in learning the old testament, stating that ‘Christ is all you need’. But i think the Old Testament is very important too and i’m really interested to learn more about it i don’t know where to start or how to be spiritually ready to study it
Explain the story of Abraham and Isaac, there are so many tiny details with profound meaning: the ram with his horns tangled in thorns, presented by God as a sacrifice to save from death, for example. It is a truly profound story.
Christianity as a religion ONLY exists due to the earthly life, sacrifice, and resurrection of Jesus, which you can only find from the New Testament. Therefore, if someone believes that the Old Testament is just as important as the New one, then their religion should be called Reformed Jewish Orthodoxy, not Christianity.
Orthodox Christians, as well as the reformers (e.g. Luther and Calvin) affirmed that Mary is the mother of God. But yeah, Catholics are most likely to defend it.
@@pedroguimaraes6094catholics are in error when they affirm the immaculate conception as it suggests that she did not require salvation. No orthodox congregation would agree with this theology.
@@meina0614 1- We aren't talking about the immaculate conception. My comment and his comment were about Mary being Mother of God 2- In the Immaculate Conception Mary is *saved* from original sin at the same moment God created her soul. And it is God's Grace constantly *saving* her from falling into sin during her whole life. But of course the orthodox disagree with the immaculate conception, as they generally disagree with the augustinian notion of original sin.
Yeah, this is why the trinity to me is needlessly complicated. Having read 3 versions of the bible the implication I got was simply Jesus was God's son and we worship God through Jesus as he is the vessel of our salvation. Much simpler than all this trinity nonsense.
@@cosmictraveler731amen to that brother. If God wanted us to believe Jesus was somehow also God... I would think he would explicitly say so. Rather we get Jesus saying things like "The Father dwells in me and I dwell within the Father" and "The Father tells me what to say, and I say it" and "My will is the will of the Father"
well the thing is, heresy isn't necessarily sinful. there's a huge difference between misunderstanding the trinity vs, just making up an example here, saying that God is infinitely evil. the former is a heresy, and the latter is also a heresy, but more importantly, it's extremely blasphemous.
@@cosmictraveler731 The Trinity is not complicated at all. I'll explain it in two sentences. There is one God: Jesus (the Son) is God, the Father is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. And none of them are each other. Done. With a little faith in a transcendent being beyond total human comprehension, this doctrine is easy (and fun!) to accept.
@@beamshooter John 10:30-33 John 17:21-22 John 1:1-5 John 5:18 John 8:58 Actually maybe just read the whole Gospel of John again. Jesus explicitly claims to be God multiple times.
"If you correctly understand that God is impossible to understand then you're understanding that nothing is simultaneously understanding everything possible to understand which is supposed to be impossible to understand meaning that you cannot have correctly understood that you don't understand which implies that you incorrectly understood that you don't understand, which proves that you actually do understand, but you don't understand that you understand etc." -Sir Topham Hatt
@ailediablo79 Simply. Because He is NOT a prophet, but He IS BIGGER than that. Which prophets can say that they were the lord of the Sabbath and they were greater than Solomon's Temple? That would be a blasphemy! But Jesus said that in Matthew 12: 1-10. Or do you want to say that those verses are also corrupted? Your people asking about where is the proof of Jesus calling Himself a God. He said A LOT of that in the bible. Just not in the sentences you want to read, but in the sentences that He know His audience will understand that the meaning is He is the God. Because no ordinary human can claim himself bigger than the temple, and by that means bigger than the Ark of The Covenant.

@@kirklyles1705 Thank you for your concern but I've been around the block theologically and I'm fairly certain with my decision, I love you for who you are, do I believe that you are not worshipping the almighty as he is meant to be worshipped? Of course. Do I believe that you'll most likely see hellfire on the day of judgement? Of course. The difference between our beliefs is just that; I can recognize that these are my beliefs and that the only entity of decision, truth, forgiveness and judgment is the one true creator, the almighty, the most merciful, the most gracious, alhamdulillah. I appreciate your concern but these types of comments and statements are exactly what sent me away from Christianity. I'm fully aware of what the Bible says and what the church has to offer, but I've found the only thing that i can genuinely say is the continuation of true monotheism; the only theology that is the true continuation of Abraham's (AS) teachings and faith. I understand your concern, yet it is unnecessary; I know on the day of judgement my heart will be weighed and tested, I ask the almighty to have mercy on us all, Allahu Akbar 🛐
Your comment made me smile. I think one thing that any god - Allah or God or any other that someone believes in, are proud when we can live and exist in harmony side by side even with our differences. I believe that war is not what God wants us to do, and sometimes words can sound like someone declaring war on you. I am used to Muslim comments on my profiles telling me that I will suffer, likewise you have here a Christian who comes on quite strong and aggressive underneath your comment. I would just like to say thank you for making me smile, and remember that no matter what religion someone believes in, they can be a good person. I hope you have a blessed life. 😊
An excellent presentation. As a confessional Lutheran, I appreciate your explanation not only of the minor divergences that turn truth into a falsehood, but your succinct explanation of why it matters. Christianity isn’t complicated until someone comes along and decides that they know better than scripture.
Brotha, you Christians can't even agree on it. How many sects of "Christianity" are there? You said yourself, that you're a "Lutheran" - what's that, even? I thought y'all were just "Christians" who can all agree on "scripture" dead & done. What an embarrassing claim you've made.
Scripture was conceived by ignorant bronze age goat herders; EVERYONE knows better than scripture. In the Bible Jesus says that no one knows where the wind comes from! Today little children can answer that correctly.

I disagree with your utter aversion to analogies, since the Fathers used them. The whole point of analogies is that they dont represent reality perfectly, like maps of the globe or the 2D representation of a cube.
When you use all the analogies together they point to the truth of the Trinity, just like all projections of the globe point to the truth about it. Just like using Mercator doesnt mean you believe Greenland is half the size of Africa using the analogies dont necessarily point towards heresy.
All analogies by definition fall short, even more so an analogy of God. That doesnt mean analogies are intrinsically misleading, only that you need to be careful with them, to not fall into -the belief that antartica is larger than africa- a heresy.

Edit: Holy moly there's some conflict brewing in the comment section 😭
If we go outside Biblical sources. In Jewish mysticism God must be separated from creation because his absolute nature erase any existence (lake of sulphur may be in fact the God himself). Heaven is separated from the God by the barrier, in which there is eight cracks known as Ophanim (in Christianity called Seraphim) who transfer isolated aspects of God into creation, creating eight heavens/virtues. Plus additional barrier what separate truly godless space guarded by four Elemental Angels called Living Beasts (Cherubim), known as Leviathan, Behemot, Ziz and Bael. Who are under control of Angel of Destruction and King of Sheol Sandelphon (Abaddon). Seven heavens are in charge of Angelic princes called Archangels who represent seven virtues and seven Serpahin, who as overmind do not have own personalities and collectively represent God. It is why God in bible say "ours" calling himself. But one of Seraphims represent Sentience itself and as such it has personas, being both Archangel of Wisdom Raziel Helel (The Son) who directly control own domain, King of Angels and Voice of God Metatron (The Father) and mentioned Sandelphon (Holly Spirit of Creation). Those three persona of Sepahims are the Trinity and they are in fact the God.
To be honest its one of the hardest part of christianity to understand. A lot of theologians have a problem with understading it.

Ok... There is one God the Father. Jesus is a god but he is not God. Jesus is the only begotten of the Father and the holy spirit is not a god he's a spirit. All three are seperate and distinct individuals but are apart of the Godhead. God, the individual we worship is our father who created us all. Jesus Christ his only begotten son is the mediator of his plan to get us imperfect mortal children back home to father. Through Jesus Christ and his example and sacrifice we are saved and will return home. The holy spirit speaks to us and helps us in are daily lives to navigate this evil world. Im starting to notice that "Christianity" isn't very christian and is completely wrong and full of heresy's of the actual gospel of Jesus Christ.

I remember studying Gnosticism in high school. Like you said RZ, the lore is ridiculously complex and confusing to the point that it’s basically just a different religion that uses Christianity as the foundation. In Gnosticism the “God” of the Old Testament is not even God. He’s some demigod or some sort of lesser god. It’s worth studying to understand how pervasive this idea of “spiritual good, physical bad” is and how it has affected modern Christian sects.
Interesting side note: The creators of the Matrix movies are Gnostics. The films are essentially Gnostic allegories. My literature teacher had my class watch the first movie at home and try to pick out where the Gnostic influence/message came into play.

Im an athiest, but i do believe understanding other religions and practices is important for people to come together and understand one another, so thanks for the education
Unfortunately, 100s of millions of people don't think like that.
I would try to study Christianity even if you are an atheist so your decision can be based on knowledge than lack of knowledge.
@@thereal4815 i actually used to be a Christian
I am an atheist too, and I have a very religious friend who constantly tries to convert me lol
@@thereal4815this is funny considering most religious people are religious because of their lack of knowledge. Knowledge being facts or even reading the Bible. Not intelligence
Hello brother Reedeemed Zoomer! You are so helpful. Im from the Philippines.
Have to say: you really get your point across in a short and clear way. You truly are gifted with the comunication skills God gave you.
That little "that's mooodalism pahtrick" tucked away at the top was hilarious! I heard the voice! Thanks for that. Need to go back and rewatch. Great video, by the way, very informative.
excited for this one!! lol I’m working on the first Spanish video translation of your channels most popular videos, it’s just gonna take me a while cause I’m a full time student and working part time job
Glad the channel is spreading!
you got perms from RZ?
Man, here in Latin America we need a lot channels like this one, because we got a lot of heretic videos full with Superstition and with no doctrine. This is the kind of UA-cam channel that we need here. Thanks to god (sorry for my bad english)
Nice Job I think we need one in India too because most of the mainline churches in India are falling to liberalism.
@ConeComrade I think RZ talked about how he’d support people who translate his videos.
I love how, when you get passionate about this stuff, you sound like you’re gonna make us an offer we can’t refuse.

I thought that too until I actually read what it was. Joke is I don't care I'm a lore whore
Been a catholic revert for about 3 years. This video is super informative, good work!
Then you should know that the Church has also considered Protestantism a heresy as well. Of course, it wouldn't be mentioned here.
@@vSwampFox the trinity is satanic!
@@vSwampFox Which heresy does the Protestant church commit? If it's something created by the Catholic church, does it have a scriptural basis? Legitimate questions - not trying to pry or be sarcastic. No church or denomination has the power to denounce something unless it is directly in contradiction with a scriptural commandment or obvious truth. Anything else is man-centered. The reason for sola scriptura is that, if you are starting at any other point than directly God's words which came from Him, it is going to be inherently flawed. 1 Cor 4:6 is a good text for this.
@@N1c2k3 Well it's probably important for you to figure out first, why you have the premise in your mind to say these phrases. I'm surely not one to be able to spend all kinds of time debating on the internet, but being as you asked, here's what I'd consider if I were in your position, asking the questions you are asking.

That alone is quite the list of things already preconceived in your mind. Especially considering, scripture contradicts what you're saying.
-God gave the Apostles the authority to bind and loose. What did they Bind & Loose? A lot of things. Both before Christ's death, and after. Not all of which are written in what you call the Bible.
-"Obvious Truth", is a completely subjective statement.
-There is no holy scripture, instructing the apostles, nor the disciples, to collect, and decipher books being written by themselves, and then declare which of these hundreds of books are or are not worthy for divine teaching. The only scripture that even attempts to covers such a task, is the authority given to them, by Jesus, to Bind & Loose.
-Sola Scriptura is a man made belief philosophy taught by very late Christian sects. Ancient Christendom, never mentions this ideology. Ever. Plus, Paul himself contradicts this belief system, when he instructs his listeners of the things they are to do, that are not written, but are heard and passed down through tradition. Not to mention, there was no bible during the time of their teaching and preaching.
Hope this helps you on your journey. I'm certain it's plenty food for thought.
PS- If you are really interested in deep history, regarding Christianity, NewAdvent \.org is an incredible resource for historical writings.

He forgot the worst heresy of them all - six centuries ago the church sent 5 consecutive crusades (around 100 000 soldiers each) against the worst enemy of christianity - a group of bohemian peasants who committed the worst heresy of them all - they believed paying indulgences (money to the church) for removal of sins is immoral. They dared to question the most profitable income of the church.
Fun fact - all 5 of the crusader armies were beaten by those peasants, the last one ran away without a fight. Those peasants were the first to use guns as a main weapon in the army, ended the era of the "knight in the shining armor".
I’m blessed to have found this channel. The lord keeps showing me the right path.
Been a devout Christian my whole life and I still don’t know how to explain the trinity. One triune God. One true God.
Ok so how do you explain these verses if there's One triune God?
Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is One."
John 10:30 "I and My Father are One."
John 14:9b "He who has seen Me has seen the Father."
God does not exist as three because as God's Son Jesus is God, and Jesus' Spirit is the Holy Spirit. All the positions of the Godhead are summed up through Jesus Christ. Trinitarians(80% of the Christian world)commit the partialist heresy by creating two more persons. Jews and Oneness Christians, like myself, know God is One God in One person. Look up the word Trinity in the Bible and you won't find it, but look up verses about Oneness and you will find there are over 200 verses that affirm the Oneness of God
@@clintparker oneness Christians love to take that verse out of context. Let me ask you something, you realize that the word used in the old testament for the Lord being one, is the same word used to describe a union? You heretics don't even realize it. Yall stick to pure english translations since if you read what it actually says, it contradicts you. Y'all barely have scripture to back you up
If it's only one person, how could the holy spirit come down as a dove and the father speak through the clouds, as well as Jesus be baptized at the same time? Explain that then, you're using arguments from silence, the "why is Trinity word not in bibel" like some monkey who can't do 2 and 2, thats like saying the word Bible isn't in the Bible.
@@metroplier8392 everything you've said is 100% heretical. I can only pray for those offended by the Truth that they come to know the Truth: that "the Lord is our God, the Lord is One."
@@metroplier8392 we have more Scripture to back our beliefs, which are not heretical, that Trinitarianism AKA a form of partialism does. Verses that affirm Trinitarianism: 0. Verses that affirm Oneness and deny the Trinity: over 200
As an atheist, I always find it amusing when I'm debating with a liberal Christian, and they end up spouting actual heresy trying to come up with a counter-argument. Like, if you can't even get your own theology right, why should I give you any legitimacy?
One must think that a god with unlimited wisdom and power would be better at getting his story straight if he cares so much
@@IDoThings490 Just so, my friend. Just so.

You should definitely make an episode addressing islams objections to Christianity (“corrupted scripture”, Jesus doesn’t claim to be God, contradictory ideas, etc.) I feel like it’d be great with your video structure
Also how literally every historian of the first century agrees that the fact that Jesus was crucified is absolutely certain. The Quran insists that He was not crucified
Bruh he doesn't need to the fact that "prophet" Muhammed is an apollinarianism version of Jesus is clear enough evidence that there's no theologically sound reason Islam can be right in any way
What you are looking for is Sam Shamounian, look up his vids on youtube. He explains the mistakes/lies in islam and judaism, dissects their anti christian arguments, explains the errors in translation of greek, hebrew, arabic words used in scripture or quran.
There is also the yt channel called TheArchive, its a place where particular clips from Sams livestreams are stored.
@@michaeltagor4238 receiving revelation from god does not mean you have a divine mind. Muslims don't believe the prophet pbuh had any attributes of god at all.
@@calebklingerman7902 actually in Quranic lore it says that Jesus wasnt crucified but Yudas Iskarot was. It was made to appear that he was Jesus because god whilst literal Jesus was brought to the heavens which im pretty sure hes still alive to this day.

Months ago i prayed to God "If there's a faulty in me that i don't know of, please tell me so i can change"

Learning about other worldviews is always a great choice👍
TBH, I think this video is probably making more people irreligious. It only "makes sense" (ie - it completely does not) to people that are already faithful. To those that are wavering in their faith, it show how illogical the most fundamental tenets of Christianity are and might actually push them to abandon what little faith they had had.
So, I guess score one for atheism? If you want actually useful explanations of Christianity that don't attempt to make sense (because it doesn't), check out Ready to Harvest. At least there, there's no attempt to rationalize the irrational. The presenter/content is almost completely Christian and is as about non-biased as could be.
@@nuke___8876"I think this video is making people more irreligious" this is a very subjective view, you can't back this up at all
As a Christian I'd rather be friends with a understanding Atheist than a dogmatic, hateful Christian. Wanting to understand others, imo, is a good way to show love to others and I respect those who do their best to show this kind of love wherever possible.

No matter the religion, I've noticed only a very few adhere to the actualy doctrine set forth by the original material. That begs the question then, what one believes is the true doctrine has that then been changed over time and we simply don't know what we don't know.

Can you make a video on cults to watch out for, especially on college campuses? Yesterday I was approached by two ladies asking me if I knew about "God the Mother" who apparently is a South Korean lady that Jesus prophesized about in Revelation? Thankfully I wasn't deceived but I worry someone with less biblical knowledge would have been, especially since their flyer for their Bible study said "Heavenly Family and Earthly Family" which sounds innocent to the average college student, especially if they were raised Christian but don't have solid Biblical or theological knowledge.
Generally just stay away from any cult/sect/denomination that aren't mainstream Christianity. There's reason they aren't mainstream, and it's not anything good.
I think that may be the "Mother God Cult". Mike Winger did a video about them once, I'm pretty sure.
I'd say watch out for any cult. Try following a well-known denomination, ideally a high church one that believes in real presence in the sacraments and that has tradition (ideally Roman Catholic imo)
@@justhair17 yeah, if you want the “true” teachings that the apostles taught then definitely join one of the apostolic churches. Either Eastern Orthodoxy or some rite of Catholicism, would be the ideal.
They're from a group called the World Mission Society Church of God. Strange group that purports to worship a Christ-like woman in South Korea. Check out the Wikipedia page for them it's weird stuff.

Based on the info on Liberalism that can also fit those who fly the American flag around their churches and preach more about Republican politics than about Christ and theology. Interesting! Great post!!! ❤
Absolutely. Republicans and democrats are basically identical on a spiritual level, politics is depraved. Unless your politics are promoting the Social Kingship of Christ, they belong outside of God's house.
“Before Him all the nations are as nought, as nothing and void He counts them” Isaiah 40:17, that includes the United States. Idolatry and blasphemy is all that’s behind the hood of nationalism

So you want a Christian flag instead? Then don't build a church in America
Yes that is valid. Tying nationality to religion corrupts both. One must live in the world, but to worship a government of man is not the intent of the gospel ministry. Divorcing the endeavor from the dictates of man's governments is one of the things that brought forth the executions and suffering.
This is not to say that your relationship with God is to be completely ignored when functioning in community, commerce or governance. The enlightened morality can impose heavy consideration on your choices at voting....but you can't vote your way to salvation. C S Lewis often said, my nation is not my church....which is ironic of an Anglican to say when the national elected government appoints the Archbishop and places them in the PMs Cabinet.

Ive always had a inquisitive and curious nature about other religions so this helps quite a bit of what is considered a heresy, and I thank you for being one of the few Christian youtubers who don’t add any subjective opinion into other religions like islam. And though its probably my bias speaking as a muslim, I still really do appreciate the work that you do.
I consider myself agnostic but I really love this channel because I feel like it clears up a lot of questions I had growing up Christian
Dude, according to this Video I am a Heretic on about 4 Levels because I try and follow what the bible says and not what I was taught growing up. I had loads of questions too, because what I was taught growing up never fully meshed with the Scriptures. There is another channel you may like that helped me figure it all out. It is called Kingdom in Context. He has also been called a heretic, but I don't think that matters. We are all trying to seek the truth. You can call me a Mary Poppins for all I care, as long as I am seeking and following truth. Good luck on your Journey my brother, may you find and build a relationship with the God that you already know exists.

Yeah, this is why the trinity to me is needlessly complicated. Having read 3 versions of the bible the implication I got was simply Jesus was God's son and we worship God through Jesus as he is the vessel of our salvation. Much simpler than all this trinity nonsense.

@@blacksnapper7684 yet in the following verse Jesus says he and disciples are one just like he is one with the Father. Are disciples gods too? John 17:3 Jesus says the ONLY TRUE GOD is the Father, and Jesus is someone who that Father sent. Jesus says on multiple occasions he is only doing the will of the Father. Jesus also says the geatest commandment is ”Hear O Israel! Your God is One!” Jesus also says Father is greater than he (Jesus). He also says ”I am going back to my Father and your Father, my God and your God”. Does God have a God?
Not ONCE did Jesus say you should worship him, or that he is god. Yet multiple times he says Father is the greatest, Father is the Only True God, worship only the Father and so on. Again: follow religion OF Jesus, not religion ABOUT Jesus. Jesus didn’t preach christianity, and he wasn’t a christian.
Honestly zoomer, thanks. You helped me actually dive into christianity after just being fed unnecessary fluff by my parents.
I would note that he is a Calvinist. So there is a bias of his own within the theology he follows. I’d take his explanations with a grain of salt.
His explanation of Pelagianism is a term Calvinists throw on non-Calvinists to metaphorically beat them into submission to Calvinism. I’d suggest reading more on what Pelagius _actually_ taught before using this video as a template for your dive into Christianity.
@klaustheViking is right, this video is excellent, but its explanation of Pelagianism is where it falls short. We aren't born guilty of Adam's sin, or God would judge us for Adam's sin on Judgement day, and we know God judges us for our own sin, not the sin of others. We aren't born sinful (as in guilty of sin). We are born with a fallen nature that is fatally inclined to sin (will sin given the opportunity.) This is why babies don't go to hell if they die, they aren't held responsible for sins they didn't commit. Also there is the age of acountability, but that requires some more biblical research/explanation than I can give in a UA-cam comment. Like I said though, great video apart from the Pelagianism explanation.
Sounds like you went from unnecessary fluff to unnecessary nitpicking.
But babies do sin. Our fallen nature leads all of us to sin constantly in everything we do. Their sins are miniscule and trivial in comparison to what we do, of course, but if you believe that they have souls then you must believe that they have the guilt of sin, the same as we all do.
So what happens to them? The answer is that nobody knows. My belief is that everyone who has not accepted Christ due to ignorance or incapacity is, at the moment of death, given a full and perfect knowledge of the Truth, and is given one final opportunity to believe in Jesus then.

I don't understand this video. If God isn't 3 parts and pelagianism is not true, then how does Jesus' crucifixion make sense? God sent his son, who is also himself, to die for us, even though He can't die, because He's eternal, and was sent to Hell, even though God is existence itself as you said in another video, so if Hell is devoid of God's presence, Hell doesn't exist, to save the righteous who were sent to Hell and also prove in his ressurection that he had gained victory over the powers of Hell, that is, the problems of sin and death, problems God (also Jesus) created in the first place by punishing all of us with original sin due to Adam and Eve's sin that clearly wasn't our fault. What is this?!
Super excited, cannot wait. If you ever get the chance, a video on antinomianism could be useful, I know many protestants are starting to tiptoe on the verge of it, so that could be could

@@Fnidner Did I fucking ask you? What's your problem?
Except this physical world is not "broken". It is God's great & wonderful Creation. It is not fallen. True Gnosis is Knowledge. Christianity is Superstition. For someone denigrating Gnosticism it's funny how Christians incorporated much of Pseudo-Gnosticism in their hatred of God's glorious Creation as being somehow Corrupted. Bible was Written by Men, Compiled by Men, interpreted by Men. Every step of that was a Political one with what written, what complied, what interpretations of the text to be taken all taken as Political decisions.
in what way is the world "broken"? what would an "unbroken" world look like? a world without problems? if so it seem that there is nothing of value to do in such a world because nothing can be improved.
There's nothing wrong with gnosticism - even the crudely oversimplified version of it summarized in this video. It was one of the first versions of Christianity to show up in the Apostolic period. Why dismiss it? Just because NIcean Christianity bullied its way to the front in the 4th century, thanks to the political power of Constantinople?
As far as we know, some of the apostles could have been gnostic.

Explain the story of Abraham and Isaac, there are so many tiny details with profound meaning: the ram with his horns tangled in thorns, presented by God as a sacrifice to save from death, for example. It is a truly profound story.
Christianity as a religion ONLY exists due to the earthly life, sacrifice, and resurrection of Jesus, which you can only find from the New Testament.
Therefore, if someone believes that the Old Testament is just as important as the New one, then their religion should be called Reformed Jewish Orthodoxy, not Christianity.
@@martinusv7433 i didn’t say OT is as important as the NT . It’s just someting a christian has to learn from

4:49 as a catholic THANK YOU
Orthodox Christians, as well as the reformers (e.g. Luther and Calvin) affirmed that Mary is the mother of God. But yeah, Catholics are most likely to defend it.
@@pedroguimaraes6094 some evangelicals deny that she is the mother of god without knowing they're commiting heresy
@@pedroguimaraes6094 Yes we are, lmao
@@pedroguimaraes6094catholics are in error when they affirm the immaculate conception as it suggests that she did not require salvation. No orthodox congregation would agree with this theology.
@@meina0614
1- We aren't talking about the immaculate conception. My comment and his comment were about Mary being Mother of God
2- In the Immaculate Conception Mary is *saved* from original sin at the same moment God created her soul. And it is God's Grace constantly *saving* her from falling into sin during her whole life. But of course the orthodox disagree with the immaculate conception, as they generally disagree with the augustinian notion of original sin.
This video is absolutely great. I've recently started becoming. a better Christian so seeing these videos help!
*Is confused on a confusing subject*
“THATS HERESY!”
Yeah, this is why the trinity to me is needlessly complicated. Having read 3 versions of the bible the implication I got was simply Jesus was God's son and we worship God through Jesus as he is the vessel of our salvation. Much simpler than all this trinity nonsense.
@@cosmictraveler731amen to that brother. If God wanted us to believe Jesus was somehow also God... I would think he would explicitly say so. Rather we get Jesus saying things like "The Father dwells in me and I dwell within the Father" and "The Father tells me what to say, and I say it" and "My will is the will of the Father"
well the thing is, heresy isn't necessarily sinful. there's a huge difference between misunderstanding the trinity vs, just making up an example here, saying that God is infinitely evil. the former is a heresy, and the latter is also a heresy, but more importantly, it's extremely blasphemous.
@@cosmictraveler731 The Trinity is not complicated at all. I'll explain it in two sentences. There is one God: Jesus (the Son) is God, the Father is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. And none of them are each other. Done. With a little faith in a transcendent being beyond total human comprehension, this doctrine is easy (and fun!) to accept.
@@beamshooter John 10:30-33 John 17:21-22 John 1:1-5 John 5:18 John 8:58 Actually maybe just read the whole Gospel of John again. Jesus explicitly claims to be God multiple times.
Excellent video! As a theologian I knew most of these points already, but there were some I didn't that you helped me to understand even more thanks!
I like the fact that you used the HazMat symbol format to visually portray the heresies. You did a very nice job btw.
He does this with many topics i like it.
"If you correctly understand that God is impossible to understand then you're understanding that nothing is simultaneously understanding everything possible to understand which is supposed to be impossible to understand meaning that you cannot have correctly understood that you don't understand which implies that you incorrectly understood that you don't understand, which proves that you actually do understand, but you don't understand that you understand etc." -Sir Topham Hatt
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
NO COMPRENE.
@ailediablo79 Simply. Because He is NOT a prophet, but He IS BIGGER than that. Which prophets can say that they were the lord of the Sabbath and they were greater than Solomon's Temple? That would be a blasphemy! But Jesus said that in Matthew 12: 1-10.
Or do you want to say that those verses are also corrupted? Your people asking about where is the proof of Jesus calling Himself a God. He said A LOT of that in the bible. Just not in the sentences you want to read, but in the sentences that He know His audience will understand that the meaning is He is the God. Because no ordinary human can claim himself bigger than the temple, and by that means bigger than the Ark of The Covenant.
@ailediablo79you say they need evidence but you make claims without evidence. Also cool your tone, noone is obligated to argue with a disrespectful nobody on the internet who cant debate in good faith
@ailediablo79 calling peoples logic pathetic and both begging the question and committing ipse dixit. You've not even demonstrated you can debate in good faith, why would anyone waste their time answering your questions
This needs to be at least three sentences to make the meaning clear.
I love this channel. It helps me stand stronger in my faith. I thank my math teacher for introducing this channel through the "Arguments of God Explained" video.
@@Mystic879
First of all, I'm not in the United States. I'm in Canada.
Secondly. I go to a Christian school, and the video I was talking about is the "Arguments about God explained" video, not this one.
thanks for showing a single scripture from the bible i appreciate your research
Im a reformed christan and I find it hard to find christian content that I can 100 % relate too. I've been subscribed to you for a bit over a year now and I love your content. It's always super well made and I love your style of animation, PRAISE God for your work
I recommend raven Knight He debunked LED with the bible and has a series about the book of Romans
I'm literally the guy committing heresies while trying to understand the trinity.
@gerald.bostianlet's be careful with the alls
@gerald.bostianI can attest to this
Yes, Patrick, stop with the modalism already
You can't understand it because it's nonsense, so you might as well stop trying
@@UrfavigboThat is to assume you have perfectly understood the faith without a single misunderstanding about the Bible. I would say no human has done so.
Love your videos bro God bless you my brother in Christ look forward to seeing this video✝️❤️🔥
How did you comment before the video came out
@@Curvyfeets For real
@@Curvyfeetshis comment was pre-destined
Thanks for clarifying! I really asked myself some of these questions and your video really helped me
love you zoomer, by brother in Christ, you helped me return to god
As a Muslim I'm glad that I found this channel, it's difficult to find people who like to look at theology as more than just "if you don't believe what I believe the way I believed it then you're a sinner and you deserve hellfire" it's very refreshing to see such intellect applied to religion, thank you for your work my friend.
Many people do not understand that Islam is also an Abrahamic religion
despite your gracious comment,you are walking in deception and WILL end up in hell unless you come to faith in Jesus Christ as your savior.Muslims are NOT saved.You can recieve this as an attack but it is a warning and a declaration of Gods truth
@@kirklyles1705 Thank you for your concern but I've been around the block theologically and I'm fairly certain with my decision, I love you for who you are, do I believe that you are not worshipping the almighty as he is meant to be worshipped? Of course. Do I believe that you'll most likely see hellfire on the day of judgement? Of course. The difference between our beliefs is just that; I can recognize that these are my beliefs and that the only entity of decision, truth, forgiveness and judgment is the one true creator, the almighty, the most merciful, the most gracious, alhamdulillah. I appreciate your concern but these types of comments and statements are exactly what sent me away from Christianity. I'm fully aware of what the Bible says and what the church has to offer, but I've found the only thing that i can genuinely say is the continuation of true monotheism; the only theology that is the true continuation of Abraham's (AS) teachings and faith. I understand your concern, yet it is unnecessary; I know on the day of judgement my heart will be weighed and tested, I ask the almighty to have mercy on us all, Allahu Akbar 🛐
Your comment made me smile. I think one thing that any god - Allah or God or any other that someone believes in, are proud when we can live and exist in harmony side by side even with our differences. I believe that war is not what God wants us to do, and sometimes words can sound like someone declaring war on you. I am used to Muslim comments on my profiles telling me that I will suffer, likewise you have here a Christian who comes on quite strong and aggressive underneath your comment. I would just like to say thank you for making me smile, and remember that no matter what religion someone believes in, they can be a good person. I hope you have a blessed life. 😊
@@mathildeolsen2926 Mashallah, thank you my friend I wish the same to you, all love all respect 🤎
An excellent presentation. As a confessional Lutheran, I appreciate your explanation not only of the minor divergences that turn truth into a falsehood, but your succinct explanation of why it matters. Christianity isn’t complicated until someone comes along and decides that they know better than scripture.
Brotha, you Christians can't even agree on it. How many sects of "Christianity" are there? You said yourself, that you're a "Lutheran" - what's that, even? I thought y'all were just "Christians" who can all agree on "scripture" dead & done. What an embarrassing claim you've made.
Scripture was conceived by ignorant bronze age goat herders; EVERYONE knows better than scripture. In the Bible Jesus says that no one knows where the wind comes from! Today little children can answer that correctly.
This is very well made, and very funny. And it really shows how silly Christianity really is.
Imagine not understanding something people have been following for over 2000 years and the theology is silly and not the one not understanding.
Wow, thank you for the incredible work and wording you used in this video. Great work! Helped me understand ALOT
Aw man, I was expecting a section on Hersheys.
Nice video all the same
Oh boy…
