Thank you for sharing your insights into the Quakers. I can only hope and pray that Quakers will understand the importance of the Scriptures and return to them for guidance in their daily lives and worship.
This video is directionally right, though I think some extra nuance is needed.
I am one❤️
Quaker Oats was NOT a Quaker business. The image was chosen because Quakers had the reputation of being honest and honourable in their business dealings.
Jn 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5:, 6-8,
They make good OATS! 😁
Interesante video. Bien 👍
Like baptist, they are a new thing
You might as well say "Why I'm not a Presbyterian, a Baptist, a Methodist, a Lutheran, etc. and why you shouldn't be one too." Many denominations began with sound theological roots and later became apostate. Quakers are not alone in this. However, you're description is accurate concerning one type of present day Quaker group, probably the English type. But from it's inception there existed orthodox Friends who struggled against these tendencies in an attempt to stay biblical in theology. In the 19th century John Joseph Gurney, a Friend influenced by the evangelical revivals, led a movement among Friends to revitalize Friends in the direction of Biblical faithfulness. Today there exists here in America hundreds of evangelical Friends Churches with Quaker roots and evangelical theology who do not embrace the direction taken by "silent" Friends. So, I am a proud Quaker, and evangelical Friend totally committed to the authority of Scripture and the need to spread the Gospel. In fact, I served as Quaker Pastor for about 25 years!
I almost joined a cultish movement out in Victoria Australia, their founder was a Quaker and would heve his followers perform the silence circle thing even after departing with the Quakers.
Daryl, my grandmother lives in Pennsylvania and I have personally been to the Quaker areas. Your assessment is absolutely true and I am very encouraged by this content. Jesus upheld the authority of Gods word in Holy Scripture and condemned practices that were contrary to scripture. We should do the same.
West Jersey? How is that related to New Jersey?
You used the word "ethos". I get "εθος", "ηθος", and "ειωθος" confused. What's the difference?
Zealousness for the Lord seems to often segue into some form of religious extremism.
The speaker's references are 100% referring to "liberal Quakerism." I believe in the UK and Australia, Quakers are largely if not entirely liberal Quakers. However, most Quakers in the world today are not liberal Quakers. In fact, Evangelical Quakers are the most numerous worldwide, and to my understanding they are more like a modern, mainstream Protestant denomination, and they are very biblically based.
Sola Scriptura!
Hey I am a Quaker and I believe that you have slightly straw manned us most Quakers use the Bible the idea of not using it came from the later hicksite movement which was when some Quakers stopped using the Bible altogether but the orthodox Quakers which is what I am still use it
I don't get why they lowered the need for the holy scriptures but I get how churches can make us sour and become disenchanted with many pastors and churches. It is just as dangerous to say someone is not being led by the Holy Spirit as to say they are.
Your observation is right it could be applicable to all the mainline churches as well they are apostates
The Bible isn’t “from God” it may have been inspired by a belief in God but obviously God had little to do with a lot of it. God doesn’t indorse slavery but the Bible did, I doubt that the same God that brought Christ would want homosexuals or people who don’t follow the kosher laws to be stoned to death-but the Bible did. Christ told us to love our neighbors, Leviticus told us to stone our neighbors so I see this observation as problematic. I believe in silence and patience God can speak to a person, God gave us intuition for a reason. Sure, there are very laid back Quakers who are glorified atheists maybe but I personally choose to still believe in Jesus Christ, and I also respect all of the other religions too. God spoke to the world, not just tot the Jews, hence why all religions have so much in common. The kingdom of God is amongst us and within us. Love is the law❤️💚❤️
