"high church means churches looking like *this* and not like a barn house" "anglo catholics who are basically just catholics who are more likely to be gay" "came into history because Henry was horny and wanted to divorce his wife" RZ really shooting shots at everyone today dang

"Designed so that no one person has too much power." I went to a conservative Presbyterian church for 8 years. The senior pastor had a ton of power and basically no oversight. In the Anglican Church every priest is overseen by a bishop, who is overseen by an archbishop, who is overseen by all the other archbishops. And half of the archbishops just told the Archbishop of Canterbury that two men can't get married and he can pound sand as we send missionary priests into his jurisdiction.

“Don’t poop at church.” - Redeemed Zoomer, 2022

The King is pointedly not head of the Church of England. He rather holds the carefully selected title of "Supreme Governor", because Christ is the only Head of the Church. The King is only exercizing Earthly authority over the Church, not spiritual authority as the Pope does. While the separation of the Church from Rome bagan under Henry VIII, the real work towards modern Anglicanism began under his daughter, Elizabeth I, who oversaw the creation of the 39 Articles and the Book of Common Prayer.

I am not sure that Anglicanism is as top down as you think. Anglican churches have a parish council, which is similar to elders. The Parish Council makes decisions about many aspects of the churches practical running. There is also state and national level synods, where lay representatives are sent to vote on decisions regarding legislation and theology. There is also somewhat of a unifying document, which is the book of Common Prayer as well as the 39 Articles. Both of those set up a lot of Anglican theology and governance. Of course not all Anglican Churches are the same, and so some do not follow what I described,

“I can’t help but roast you because you’re the one who get least mad at me for it” I died.😂😂😂😂 I mean I consider myself non-denominational, but I already understand non-denominational might as well be Baptist.

I find listening to you, addicting. I have grown up in a pentecostal. Holiness group called the gospel assembly movement. You have answered so many questions without me asking your videos. Yes, I'm 55 year old man. Questions that most of my life. I have been afraid to ask. Most of what you say I agree with but I am slightly a synergist. Probably did not spell that, right. And I'm a dispensationalist. But I can't stop listening to you. And I have been investigating reformed theology and the reformation and where we came from. You kind of got me started in this. It is wild that you can put me on the edge of my seat listening to you. I do not have an argumentative spirit when we disagree. I want to hear More and see WHY we disagree and where the distributor came from n if it stands up to the Bible. Please keep up the good work. No, you do not offend me even when you kind of make fun of Things that I believe or have believed. Just keep up doing what you're doing. Have a wonderful thanksgiving and a new year and know that I am watching and listening, not arguing

I think the Anglo-Catholic thing you said applies to Episcopalians not Anglo-Catholics

the second commandment is not intended to mean "you can't make any images of heavenly things, period" otherwise God would have been breaking his own commandment when he ordered the construction of statues of cherubim on either side of the Ark. The purpose of the second commandment was specifically to forbid the creation and worship of idols, as the Israelites did when they built the golden calf. When we create images of Jesus, the intention is not worshiping that actual image. The image of Christ is supposed to lift our eyes and minds to God, not to replace God. That is why Catholics and Orthodox love their imagery so much. As humans, it's kind of part of our DNA to incorporate the senses into worship. It was done during the Old Testament temple worship, and we do it today. I have found imagery to be very beneficial to worship.

Thanks for this! It's always good to see perspectives from the 'outside'. While I could quibble with some of your definitions and history, I think you are right on most points. Definitely having a (by all accounts) at best agnostic king is not where I would like my denomination to be, but to me, it just makes that prayer of 'God save the king' all the more important. that being said, having bishops who refuse to use the scripture-soaked liturgies, to the point where faithful Anglicans are fleeing the denomination as quick as possible is worse, in my opinion. Praying alongside you that God will bring a revival and reclamation of the mainline, and that we can be a part of that.

It is not fair to say that the Church of England "came into existence" as a result of King Horny VII. However, it is perfectly legitimate to say that the Church of England began to function independently of Rome as a result of King Horny VII. In my opinion, this is an example of God using the foibles of man for His purposes. A lot of bad came with it, but a lot of good has resulted. Just look at the Book of Common Prayer.

Yessssss I’ve been waiting for this oneeee

20:48 That quote is actually attributed to Queen Victoria

As an ACNA Anglican, I am not thrilled with my church leadership either.

I’m sorry but that spiral staircase is horrendous

Apparently Charles has come out and said and that he is a devoted Anglican Christian and holds Christian standards. I guess only time will tell

I am s "broad church" Anglican. We believe that High church and low church have important things to teach us. So Angicanism is even more nuanced than ppl think.

As a baptist thats spot on. So many good baptist jokes out there

Congregationalism does not mean the pastor runs the congregation, although it does happen sometimes. It means the congregation can vote they can actually vote out a Pastor. Generally, they have an elder board or a deacon board to serve as a check and balance.

I think you confuse Episcopals for Anglo Catholics. Anglo-Catholics are heavily traditional and conservative.

This was not your best video. King Charles III specifically does NOT call himself the "head of the Church" as that language is reserved for Christ. The British monarch is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England but is limited in power by the episcopacy and Parliament. He does not "rule over it." Also, I have no idea how heterodox Charles's beliefs are as he is pretty cagey, but he is by all accounts a believer. Of course, his mother was a fervent and orthodox Christian and a fine example for her subjects. I have a feeling he will take his religious duties seriously while being much less vocal about his faith, as the UK has become incredibly secular in the 70 years since his mother's coronation.

Both the southern Baptist church I used to go to, in Texas, and the Non-Denominational I go to have a government very much run by Elders, instead of just a pastor.

Theonomy is not the same as theocracy. I highly suggest researching the work of Greg Bahnsen, a Presbyterian who taught Theonomy. Theonomy includes separation of church and state.

God Bless

4:45 But doesnt the fact Jesus is god, and is God in the flesh, for all to see, make's his human body which is fully God like an icon of God himself? if i recall correctly i heard a Priest talk about the word εἰκών (eikṓn) or icon in english, was used in the Bible to talk about Jesus. and that word did infact mean icon, just like the word icon means icon in english, same meaning. So since Jesus is an icon of God, and we cannot depict God because he doesnt have a body, and thus cannot be depicted without depicting someone ELSE. then, since now God does have a body, we can depict that body. because it is God, in the flesh, God made himself able to be perceived, able to be seen, he had a face, and of course we do not know how he truly looked like, because it was so long ago, but since he had a body at some point, he could have been depicted. but since God knows our hearts he'll now we're not being idolatrous and worshiping another God. (this i what i suppose you're skeptical about icons) we can be idolatrous to the object which is wrong, and we can be idolatrous to whom it depicts, which if it isn't Jesus, then it would be wrong, and we can be idolatrous to the thing the image of christ represents. (he himself obviously) and if you worship Jesus, and not the icon, only who he represents, and God knows it, it wouldn't be idolatry. also don't quote me on this, he explained much better than i did, but, i did not remember who said it, so maybe later if i find it, i'll edit the comment and properly recite it. hahaha

The monarch of Britain doesn't really have any actual power over the CofE and it's mostly the Archbishop of Canterbury and its college of bishops.

Another big one on separation of church and state is that all the different colonies and then states had very serious theological differences with each other, and deciding which of them was right to form a government on would have just resulted in a big fight.

I don't think they were contemporaries, but I don't think Calvin or Luther would have a high opinion of Henry VIII.

There are the Cumberland Presbyterians, which hold to presbyterian polity and are not Reformed to my knowledge. However, I know very little about the denomination since it is primarily concentrated to one region of the US, so I am unsure about the specific beliefs of this denomination.

How do you feel about the 4th commandment?

My source is a youtube short but I think that the hindu prime minister of the uk can give religious advise to the king now

Also icons in the churches have tradionally been an evangelical tool to the illiterate, not to mention seeing beauty in creation.

I would also say I'm more spiritual and open minded about learning new things.

12:09 humans have a very embarrassing origin story

Being high church is not necessarily the same as being Anglican. I think it is nice with a proper church and are conservative on liturgy, but I am Lutheran. However, my definition on a proper church is likely frugal in comparison to Anglican churches.

The state can still clamp down on the church when they're separate

Separation of Church and State was a Baptist Idea not a Presbyterian one! Also a lot of Baptist churches use a presbyterian form of government where the church is ran by the board of deacons and pastor(s)(Elders of the church)

I think its a little silly you trust jeromes history of the episcopacy in the 4th century, over earlier authorities like ignatius, irenaeus, polycarp, &c

How can you just “be pretty sure” that the English monarch is not Christian? I feel like this strays into Evangelical, “real Christian” gatekeeping. In a similar manner that we need Mainline churches to make Christianity mainstream again, I think we need to accept casual Christians into the community. That’s the only way they’d become more pious, and it’s disheartening to see some Evangelicals (NOT you, I know you’re PC-USA) show more animosity toward liberal/nominal Christians than they do literal atheists! That line of thinking will turn Christianity into a culturally irrelevant counter culture group on the fringe of society (which I unfortunately think many of them want). That would be disastrous.

i bet the next one is going to be “why i am not lutheran” :)

Can someone please tell me the IP address of his Minecraft server?

If you are against secular monarchs influence the church what is your opinion on emperor Constantine calling for the council of Nicea?

I think, the origin of the Henry VIII divorce, it’s because his wife was his brothers widow, for-bayed in the bible.

Hot damn, that's a good reason to criticize Southern Baptists. I feel complimented all of a sudden. Oh, and what does it say that our Southern Baptists church is Elder run (many are moving in that direction), and many of us want it to be more beautiful (but we're small and don't have the budget)?

9:50 wouldn't the more apt name be the nixon effect? both work tho

this video sealed my decision to go presbyterian over episcopal, t. gay ex-catholic with an interest in reformed theology

Redeemed Zoomer is one of my male roll models (besides my father)

I’m a catholic but baptists are from the south so it’s a gesture for southerners to be nice 👍

just a question from a heretical atheist do non English Anglicans follow the arch bishop of canteburry

I think at 10:00 The word you are looking for is Streisand Effect haha.

The main difference between Presbyterians and Anglicans is sacraments, not church structure. Although given you are Presbyterian, you don't think the importance of the sacraments is greater than church governance. Anglicans and Lutherans are closer together because they also have the same theological priorities.

I'm an Anglican Catholic. I don't know where I would be on the progressive to conservative scale. I think I align pretty well with NT wright I'm in favor of W.O but and pretty hard conservative on everything else

im low anglican, the bishop of sydney runs the anglican churches much more like baptist churches than catholic, every anglican church ive seen outside of sydney seems much more catholic, with the gowns and style

20:48 I looked it up. It's from Queen Victoria, not Elizabeth II. Still super based, though, of course.

KEYBOARD WARRIOR TYPING IN ALL CAPS

How do you feel or what do you think about Pentecostalism?

As for church govt...the early church had a wide variety of government ranging from Episcopal to the Presbyterian models. Frankly, this is a non issue for me and I believe we should recognize each others baptisms and share communion. God bless my brothers and sisters in Christianity

If only Presbyterians weren’t calvinists … maybe I’d become one

Separation of church and state is not found anywhere in our founding documents.

Monarch in England is only the figurative leader of the Anglican Communion, and the Episcopal church USA has no allegiance to the king at all.

to be fair the king and queen have far less power over the church of England than the Archbishop which is arguably worse because it's picked by parliament but then in return church of england does get to put members of the house of lords which I am not a fan of seen as I am an aetheist

I try follow the traditions God set for us. As well his laws etc. We shouldn't follow church traditions/man traditions.

I'm quoting myself because I said this before I side with Anglicanism. "God never appoints popes but kings, That individualistic communities should exist with our own agency but that we need traditional and hierarchical structure to exist so that we have order and theology. Tradition helps us with Christian lore and rules but that individualism enough that faith helps us with the faith and grace of Christ. New testament saves. But law is still sovereignty. I believe in old testament law as kingdom sovereignty but it does not grant me grace of salvation. Only Christ does. But rather articulates my obedience to authority which is God the father. As i liken the Normans as a people of laws and therefore old testament but with a Anglo-Saxon identity where God gave us Britain similar to God giving Israel to the Israelites. And so that we chose faith." it's how it makes sense to me. I treat the role of Judaism of old as to begot Christ and see Anglicanism as the fruit. God did the Jews they served now go Anglican through the English. No I am not promoting chosen people racial supremacism I reject that as a heresy. I see that traditions and rituals of faith confirm our identity and conform our doctrinal edicts whilst also everything you said which I also agree. We need incentives to study the bible and even the apocrypha but without viewing said apocrypha as scripture just guideline a lesser authority. Which isn't a universal anglican view this is my view. I believe pre Christ had Temple tradition and Judaism. while post Christ had the Anglican church and Anglicanism. The British empire and it's Anglosphere offshoots being the U.S, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain export a large empire and sphere of influence allowing Methodists, and Baptists who come from Anglican tradition and Anglicans ourselves into proselytizing/proselytization. The Spectrum of Anglicanism is from "Anglo-Catholicism" to more communal "Anglo-Reformationist" we are middle ground of traditional and reform/change and I like that. Anyone can be Anglican, Jew or Greek or Ishmaelite or Israelite or English etc. We have traditions that teach our theology to help our temple the Anglican church of london represent christ while like protestants we build our incentive christian zeal of missionary work. As I said some of my theology isn't necessarily replacement theology, I don't think Jews are necessarily obsolete or some antisemitic ideas like that. Rather I see the third temple as the Anglican church and have this chosen people theology as now applied to Britain. The Israelites were born from Israel, moved into Canaan from somewhere else. And Christ went through that lineage, and the Israelite temples and Davidic line with Israelite holy land in Canaan which taught God and Law to gentile Levantine nations surrounding Israel. Now we had the complete faith of Anglicanism as the successor of Anglicans, That Angles and Saxons were chosen by God to go to Britain, Our patriarch Angul, his descendants went to Britain, became England, and God flourished England to parallel with the Israelites so that Anglican faith finds fertile development in Britain. The Briton apostates we conquered are like our Canaanites, we are like the Israelites, and the Anglican church formed from Anglo-Saxons. And then like the Aramaean pagans challenging the faith of the Israelites, the Vikings challenged the Anglo-Saxon christians, Now to clarify my beliefs, I neither believe Anglo-Saxons are Israelites or replacers of Israel. I am not anti or pro zionist or replacement covenant that supercedes Israel. I merely believe the Anglican church is like the Christian version of judaism with some parallels. King of England akin to king of Israel, And the Canterbury Cathedral Is the third temple. We have slight bible disagreement intra denominational debate into semi sects of Anglicanism, a reform branch and conservative almost Anglo-catholic branch, reminiscent of Sadducees and Pharisees of Judaism, Zealots of Judaism being like Puritans in England and Baptists that fell out of Anglicanism is like Essenes. So with these parallels I have my Historian reason for Anglicanism. But I also likewise exactly think like you in doctrine and belief. So I support and agree with your Anglican articulation. And I am ultra conservative. I am sadden of the heretical liberals entering my faith.

Reformed Anglicans outside of England are moderately iconoclast and have separation of church and state so it seems like you're basically the same as us.

"Anglo-Catholics are just Catholics that are more likely tobe gay". As a gay Anglo-Catholic I honestly don't know how to take this 😂 Also, fun fact about the late Queen Elizabeth II: she only ever took the Eucharist twice per year - at Easter and at Christmas

I'm non-denominational because one there's way too many denominations and many aren't following God, his son etc. I respect them but, I don't agree with a lot of them. I lean more towards Messianic than anything else.

A nonprofit status is subject to the State.

Cardinal Newman left the movement he started because he saw a prophecy of a transgender lesbian priest and decided to go Catholic. No amount of arguments will change my mind

No, the U. S. Constitution does not come from Presbyterian government

Why am I not a Muslim?

Being a Christian sounds tough to me. Consider the following hypothetical scenario to get an idea of where I'm coming from: Lesbian wearing priest clothing: *proceeds to walk in my direction* Me: Hey! Women cannot be preachers. You are heretical. Her: Well, I just don't interpret the New Testament literally. Me: Do you take the claims of the Bible seriously? Her: Yes. Me: Do you view the Bible as the inerrent word of God? Her: Yes Me: So what's the hold up? Her: Look, do you interpret everything you see in the Bible literally? Me: uhh... *crickets* Her: Are you a Young Earth Creationist? Me: No... The point is that in order to be a Christian today, you are forced to refrain from taking the Bible seriously, simply because the world has advanced so much. We now know that the Universe isn't 6,000 years old, for instance, so unless you want to spit in the face of science, you have to be an Old Earth Creationist if you decide to become a Christian. Yet, if you simultaneously find lib degeneracy revolting so wish to jump onboard with Redeemer's, "Reconquista" idea, you also have to commit special pleading and other forms of hypocrisy by telling these feminists and gay pastors that their figurative interpretation of the Bible is WRONG while you treat other parts of the Bible in the exact same way.

Repent and trust in Jesus you will be saved

That religion and government take was absolutely horrendous. The law for that is specifically so that religion cannot influence legislation. Why people believe what they believe is irrelevant. Also not all beliefs are founded in religious reviews. Such as a belief in evolution. Both theists and non-theists can accept evolution by natural selection. That belief has nothing to do with religion.. although even as a non-religious person I’d agree that it’s insanely weird to have a secular head of the church. That makes 0 sense.

A true Episcopal allows for corruption control which is why the Anglican church is not as liberalized

For me I read about Jesus walking around homeless and hanging out in barns. He was literally born in a manger so for me when churches get all expensive and when they claim the communion is actually Jesus body and not metaphorical I cringe. It is nice being in a church thats beautiful but so often when I have been in those there is a breaking of the second commandment in all these idols and stuff of saints, maybe I am wrong but I thought we pray to Jesus and Yawweh alone. Hey thats just me though we baptists read the entire bible and memorise and know it well. Most other denominations have never even read the thing cover to cover. You seem to really devalue baptist tradition, its too bad I cant see why but hey thats cool peace
