1:13 - Patriarch Kirill of Moscow says Orthodox believers can atone for their sins in literal wartime battle (in this case such as the Russo-Ukrainian War). 3:08 - By What Standard? Is the Eastern Orthodox Church just as infallible as the Holy Scriptures are? Not according to Mark 7:5-7, " 5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?" 6 He answered and said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: 'This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. 7 And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'" Eastern Orthodoxy exalts traditions of men over the Holy Scriptures. We should believe in Scripture above Church Tradition and Church Councils. Only Scripture is inspired (2 Tim. 3:16). Tradition is never said to be inspired, and church councils are filled with people who have made mistakes (Matthew 15:1-14). 17:11 - The Triumph of Heterodoxy - In both Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, the veneration of icons and images is an important part of faith and practice. Members of both faiths honor portraits of Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and many saints and angels whom they believe are worthy of high honor and reverential respect. They pray to these figures through their images, requesting their intercession before God, and they bow before the images, light candles to them, and offer them incense. Such practices are not called "worship" by those who are performing them and are distinguished from a unique level of adoration due only to God.

Why People Don't Want What the Bible Says But Prefer Money Grubbing TV Evangelists 33:44

Did Jesus Die for Everybody Who Ever Lived or Not? Debate #4: WHY DOES JESUS SPEAK IN PARABLES?" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPHCMHCqubg&t=1855s . For more see our playlist "Dealing with Predestination, Arminianism & Calvinism" with 132 videos at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA932903698A56780 . 01:11 - Larry deals with typical Bible verses used by Arminians & Pelagians to argue that Christ died for every last man, woman or child who was ever born throughout history since the beginning of time. Wicked men naturally object to God's power & sovereignty of His own creation since they desire God to be helpless, defeated & a Christ who is dying in vain for lost sinners. Wicked sinners like to think that their "free will" is supreme over anything that God can do & thus the Holy Spirit is dismissed to being a helpless bystander. 04:32 - The uninvited guest at the wedding receives harsh judgment from the king, Matthew 22:11-14, "many are called but few are chosen." 05:00 - TV evangelist Billy Graham claims that all types of people who don't even know Jesus' name will go to heaven - preaching a form of universal salvation for anyone, whether they believe or not. See our 2 hour video "Filthy Rich Billy Graham Unites With False Religions & False Gospels To Gain Popularity & More Money" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbx-D54VI-0&list=PLA932903698A56780&index=4&t=1137s . 05:40 - Popular "Christian" author of "Mere Christianity" C.S.Lewis says Buddhists & other pagans will go to heaven also thus Lewis is preaching a false gospel of universalism (Galatians 1:6-9).

Pelagianism 101 By Leighton Flowers: Do It Yourself Salvation With Your Free Will 34:34

8 weeks ago34:34

34:34

James White presents a powerful case that Flowers is really promoting Pelagianism under a different name. A quick AI overview says the following: Pelagianism is a Christian heresy that primarily denies the doctrine of original sin and emphasizes human perfectibility through free will and good works, without needing God's grace for salvation. It was named after Pelagius, a 5th-century monk, who believed humans are born without a sinful nature and can achieve salvation through their own efforts & the sovereignty of their own free will. See "How Flowers' View of Grace Differs from Arminianism and Calvinism" at https://www.monergism.com/leighton-fl... . See also our 4 hour & 34 minute video called "James White, #1 True Bible Apologist versus William Lane Craig, #1 Heretical Apologist & others" at • James White, #1 True Bible Apologist versu... . Wikipedia says this about Pelagius at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelagius . Key aspects of Pelagianism: Rejection of Original Sin: Pelagianism asserts that Adam's sin did not inherently taint human nature, and individuals are born morally neutral. Emphasis on Free Will: It emphasizes human free will as the primary factor in achieving salvation, believing individuals can choose to do good and avoid sin. Downplaying the Need for Grace: Pelagianism minimizes the role of God's grace in salvation, suggesting that humans can achieve righteousness and salvation through their own efforts and good works. Belief in Human Perfectibility: Pelagius and his followers believed humans could achieve spiritual perfection and attain salvation through their own efforts, without the need for God's grace.…

1:29:25

Pastor Greg Van Court of Dayspring Fellowship in Austin, TX at https://dsf.org/ begins his detailed lecture concerning the three major theological movements in the American church in the Twentieth Century & beyond of Liberalism, Fundamentalism & Evangelicalism. 10:12 - Importance of the Word of God, the Bible. 2 Timothy 3:16-17, "All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be equipped, having been thoroughly equipped for every good work." 14:38 - The Roman Catholic Church officially ceases to be a true Christian church at the Council of Trent which was held from 1545 to 1563. 20:01 - Fast forward to the early modern movements of theological liberalism, fundamentalism & evangelicalism beginning at the turn of the Twentieth Century. 20:50 - Liberal theology (LT) emphasizes personal reason and experience over the Bible. It is seeking to liberate people from bondage to God's word & shift their attention to other theories for unbelief in the Bible. It's a progressive alternative to original Christianity so as to replace Scriptural authority. It seeks openness to man centered reason & speculations instead of Biblical truth. Liberal theology (LT) values modern intellectual inquiry & doubt. LT often rejects traditional interpretations of the Bible and sacred tradition. LT is a rejection of traditional views of Jesus. LT generally views Jesus as just a man like other men, rather than some imaginary atonement for sin to an imaginary Holy God Who judges people for the way they live. 28:29 - LT began in Germany mainly by Friedrich Schleiermacher (born: November 21, 1768…

Rob Zins & Larry Wessels of Christian Answers Are Accused of Being False Prophets 1:26:40

1:26:40

- Presentation begins with opening titles & credits with main speaker Rob Zins of "A Christian Witness to Roman Catholics" at https://cwrc-rz.org/ joined by host Larry Wessels, director of Christian Answers. 09:50 - Larry explains the reasons for making this video which is a rebuttal of a lady named Treena Gisborn who graduated from London Bible College in 1997 & went to the University of Nottingham in 2000. Gisborn put out a blog article attacking Rob & Larry of being "Wolves in Sheep's Clothing: False Prophets & Bible Teachers in the Last Days" for their video called "God Is Not Willing That Any Should Perish," Who Is God Talking About In 2 Peter 3:9? All Or Some?" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2qInz8-OHE&t=536s . Thus if you don't agree with Gisborn's specific interpretation of 2 Peter 3:9 she will label you a "wolf in sheep's clothing" & a "false prophet" similar to a Jehovah's Witnesses, etc. 12:37 - Gisborn specifically attacks Larry Wessels on page 2 of her article so Larry prepared a presentation concerning that. Gisborn said she was "absolutely horrified" by Larry's video entitled "Unpopular Bible Doctrines #1: The Biblical God No One Wants To Know" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8SzMIBlVdw&t=1615s which has over a million views on YouTube. Gisborn asks "What kind of God do Calvinists believe in?" The simple answer to her question is Calvinists believe what the Bible clearly teaches about God & they don't ignore the parts of the Bible that Arminians, Pelagians, cultists & Gisborn intentionally do. See Acts 20:26=27, "... for I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God" which includes unpopular bible doctrines also.…

Cecil's YouTube channel is located at https://www.youtube.com/user/TakeHeedMinistries . Thanks to Cecil for allowing us to post his video here. 8:23 - Acts 16:6-10, "6 Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. 7 When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to. 8 So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas. 9 During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." 10 After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them." 10:52 - The burial site of Saint Patrick is said to be at Down Cathedral which is a Church of Ireland cathedral. It stands on the site of a Benedictine Monastery, built in 1183. A boulder in the Churchyard of Down Cathedral marks the legendary claimed burial place of "The Apostle of Ireland" - "Saint Patrick." 12:00 - Former Roman Catholic priest Richard Bennett (see many videos by Richard Bennett on our playlist "Dealing With Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Idolatry & the Virgin Mary" with over 306 videos at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFFA8D69D1B914715 ) wrote a documented research article on Saint Patrick at https://bereanbeacon.org/the-legacy-of-the-true-historical-patrick/ .

How Eastern Orthodoxy Anathematizes (Damns to Hell) the Early Church Fathers 1:04:11

This is a presentation of Christ Presbyterian Church, a congregation of the Orthodox Presbyterian denomination in Magna, Utah (www.gospelutah.org) used by CAnswersTV with their permission. Larry Wessels, director of Christian Answers thanks them for their ministry. Their YouTube channel is / @ancientpathstv . 00:00 - How to use time markers. 7:24 - Presentation begins here with homosexual marriage in Roman Catholicism. 8:00 - The Eastern Orthodox religion curses to hell (anathematizing) the early Western Christian church for adding the "filioque." The filioque is a Latin phrase that means "and from the Son". It was added to the Nicene Creed in 589 AD during the Council of Toledo. The filioque states that the Holy Spirit comes from both the Father and the Son, not just the Father. The filioque was originally added to counter Arianism, which was the belief that Christ was not divine. The filioque was intended to correct the idea that the Son was not as divine as the Father. The filioque has been a source of conflict between the Eastern and Western churches. The Eastern Orthodox churches reject the filioque because they believe it goes against the Council of Chalcedon in 451, which stated that the Nicene Creed should not be changed. The filioque is considered one of the main reasons for the schism between the Eastern and Western churches in 1054. Why does Orthodox reject filioque? They claim It is precisely because it changes the nature of God. It upsets the balance of the three Persons of the Holy Trinity. Because of this they say the Western Church has a different god & thus deserve to be damned. 8:47 - More Orthodox cursing of anyone who accepts the "fili…

According to Christian sources from before the middle of the third century AD, the ancient evidence is unanimous that, although there were a few slight differences as to how weekends should be observed, one thing is certain and was uncontroversial: the main day of the week for early Christians to gather and worship was not the seventh-day Saturday Sabbath, but Sunday, which they sometimes called "the first day" or "the eighth day," or "the Lord's Day." The booklet also considers (1) whether the Lord's Day replaces the Sabbath, (2) whether the Sabbath was abolished, (3) whether Sabbath-keeping is forbidden, (4) whether the Roman Catholic church changed the Sabbath to Sunday, (5) whether Sunday is to be a day of rest as well.…

Church of Christ Restorationism/Campbellism Debate Review & Highlights By Bob Ross 1:03:08

"Is the Church of Christ Denomination a Religious Cult?" Definition of the word "Cult." Campbellism replaces the gospel of the grace of God with water baptism for salvation & a multitude of other things so they can earn their way into heaven thus stumbling right over Galatians 1:6-9 which says, "I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; 7 which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! 9 As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!" See our newsletter on the historical background of the Church of Christ at our website http://www.biblequery.org/ . You can access all our past newsletters once on the homepage click on the Menu icon in the upper left hand corner & print them out. 5:44 - The early 1800s Campbellite "Church of Christ" is the mother of many other American cults that started in the 1800s.

Catholics really believe in praying to the dead & for the dead as well as venerating relics & saints. Catholics believe the dead are alive somewhere else so it's okay to pray to them, talk to them, pray for them & venerate them. 26:38 Rob then reads from the Roman official Council of Trent about prayers and invoking the so-called saints in heaven who then will offer their merits earned on earth to Christ to give to people on earth who might need them for the afterlife. Trent condemns all those who are against these Roman beliefs such as the "Treasury of Merit," "Communion with the dead," "pray for the dead that they may be loosed from their sins," "our prayers helps the dead & makes the dead more effective to help the living"which are still taught as true in current Catholic catechisms which have not changed over time.…

It resulted in a break from the heresies of Roman Catholicism based on the five solas of the Reformation which were sola scriptura (Scripture alone), sola fide (faith alone), sola gratia (grace alone), solus Christus (Christ alone), & soli Deo gloria (glory to God alone). 19:43 - Sola Scriptura as the teaching that the Scriptures contain all that is necessary for salvation and proper living before God. Sola Scriptura means that the Scriptures–the Old and New Testaments (excluding the Catholic Apocrypha)–are the final authority in all that they address (1 Cor. 4:6) and that tradition, even so-called Sacred Tradition, is judged by Scriptures. Those who hold to Sola Scriptura are free to consider past councils, traditions, commentaries, and the opinions of others.…

Dr James White Finds Video of Michael Flynn Using Words of a New Age Cult Leader 1:36:49

Church Universal and Triumphant (CUT) is a religious organization dedicated to spreading the teachings of the Ascended Masters. It was originally founded as the Summit Lighthouse by Mark Prophet in 1958. At the age of 17, Mark Prophet purports to have received a supernatural visitation from El Morya, one of the Ascended Masters. In 1961, Mark met Elizabeth Clare Wulf who also claimed to have had a supernatural visitation from an Ascended Master by the name of Saint Germain. Mark and Elizabeth were married in 1963. Mark and Elizabeth became messengers by the anointing of the masters -- their role was to deliver divine messages, teachings, and prophecies to guide other religious seekers to their Higher Self or Real Self. Ascended Masters are persons who once lived on earth. By the experience of Reincarnation, they have, through trial and testing, rid themselves of negative Karma, have become perfected, and have ascended back to their divine source or "God." The Ascended Masters belong to a larger order consisting of Eastern Masters and Western Saints known as the White Brotherhood. White refers to the aura of white light that surrounds these ethereal beings which is a form of Demonology. When Mark Prophet was "called" to be a messenger, he distributed the Masters' teachings in letters known as Pearls of Wisdom. When he died in 1973, Elizabeth Prophet carried on his works. She renamed the organization from Summit Lighthouse to Church Universal and Triumphant. Elizabeth now receives messages or "dictations" from the Masters and through classes, sessions, and writings, she transfers the "truths" to her hearers.…

3:44 - Dr. Thomas Nettles (hear a library of his previous sermons & lectures at https://www.sermonaudio.com/search.as... ) begins with introductory remarks. 5:03 - Dr. Nettles reads Hebrews 1:1-4, 5-14: "1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. 5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you"? Or again, "I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son"? 6 And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him." 7 Of the angels he says, q"He makes his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire." 8 But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom. 9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions." 10 And, "You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands; 11 they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment, 12 like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed.…

introducing the special guests in this program: 1. Dr. David W. T. Brattston is a retired lawyer & judge residing in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada. He holds degrees from three universities & His thirteen books and over four hundred articles synthesizing early and modern Christianity have been published by a wide variety of denominations (https://play.google.com/store/info/na... ). 14:30 - 2. Dr. Steve Morrison, director of Research for Christian Answers of Austin, Texas, webmaster of https://www.biblequery.org/ , https://historycart.com/ & https://www.muslimhope.com/ . 19:56 - The Meaning of Apostolic Succession - Apostolic succession is the doctrine or theory that the legitimate ministry of the Christian Church comes through a continuous succession of incumbent bishops ordaining new clergymen, such as a new bishop, by laying their hands on him, running in an unbroken line back to the apostles. It is essential that the ordaining bishops themselves have been ordained by similar bishops who had been ordained by similar bishops in an unbroken pedigree which stretches back to the apostles. According to people who believe it, such apostolic succession is indispensable for sacraments to be valid, guarantees doctrinal orthodoxy, and gives sole authority to ordain clergy. In our time, ordination in the apostolic succession confers the right to govern the church in the geographic area assigned to a bishop, usually a diocese consisting of several congregations. He is the ultimate authority within the area allotted to him. Apostolic succession is held and practiced as vital to church life by the Roman Catholic church, the Eastern Orthodox...…
