Gavin Ashenden - Why the death of Queen Elizabeth II marks the end of Christendom 

i would hope so but all her fortune and excessive wealth taken from THE PEOPLE ? Doesn't lead down that road you speak of - Going to church doesn't get one in

@@forpetessake3532 Exactly….my sentiments as well….the only head of the church is Jesus Christ….NOT a earthly king or queen…

@@polskigirl8547 Jesus said "I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life, No One Comes To The Father Except Through Me". John 14:6 So it's not the Queen's earthly position or what she has done or not done, which saved her. It's her faith and belief in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Saviour, which saved her.

Amen! It's the best thing!🙏🕊❤‍🔥

This is because you do not read your bible nor history... May the only one true God guides you.

@@truthmatter9972 so which God is the true one?

So true!! 💗💗💯👏👏

Amen

Which Christianities, specifically, though? And what of Matthew 10:23, and 24:34, anyway? Also, what was the executive action taken, during, say, the Inquisition, or the slave trade, within parts of Christendom? Which was often, not united, historically.

Great quote!

@@chrissonofpear1384 the inquisition, like the crusades, were a GOOD thing. No need to apologize for them.

As an american you should NOT support or admire a ruler . We planted as many royalist as we could to get out from under her relatives boots. Ignoramus. That royal religious crap has bleed the prople of britain dry. History written by the victors. Putin , stalin, Saudi, Trump all of them want to be Rulers can bugger off. We as a species would be better off without them. Capitalism and Atheism is our only hope for survival. GET OFF YOUR KNEES.

Thanks from New Zealand 🇳🇿

Lol what? What a weird comment “your ruler”🤦🏾‍♂️. You Americans are one big contradiction huh?

@@MohamedShou thats not an american thats a royalist . Basically a Canadian without 12 aircraft carriers.

It is less that she was our sovereign, and more that she was one of the last people of true integrity in public life globally.

Who can come after the Christ, but the Antichrist? It’s Islam + Communism. Europe will be Muslim; USA, Communist. This Pope is the last one. Rome will fall like Constantinople, like Jerusalem.

Yes and I can even forgive him for his Freudian slip , calling poor Sophie - Sophie of Sussex 😜

How do you account for the problem of gratuitous suffering?

@@mmhmm9271 The problem of evil is a strawman.

@@zephyr-117sdropzone8 I didn't mention the problem of evil - I actually happen to believe that Christians have a fairly compelling way of explaining that, i.e by appealing to free will. I was instead talking about the problem of gratuitous suffering, which Christians have no compelling theological justification for. An example of the kind of suffering I'm referring to is the one hundred thousand children who die of cancer every year worldwide. I realise that one can appeal to the Fall of Man as "justification" for such suffering, but that notion is not at all reconcilable with the idea of an omnibenevolent creator. Such a creator would not consign millions of people to short lives filled with gratuitous suffering, on the basis of a "sin" which they had no part in committing. Inherited blame (or intergenerational punishment - whatever you want to call it) is prevalent in North Korea, where children of dissidents are often put in concentration camps alongside their parents. Such a standard of punishment being adopted by the all-loving creator of the universe is a logical contradiction, however, since loving someone is irreconcilable with brutally punishing them for a crime which they did not commit. The presence of gratuitous suffering therefore constitutes conclusive evidence against the existence of the Christian God (not against divinity in general, it must be admitted), but if you have a counterargument I'd genuinely like to hear it. I hope that you can respond with intellectual charity and honesty rather than with scornful ad hominem, the latter of which is far too prevalent on social media platforms these days.

Do you know I thoroughly enjoyed it . In the 1970,s when I became Born Again , to the disgust and chagrin of my fellow Baptist’s , I went to Born Again Charismatic Catholic meetings in Newcastle and the Lord was there, I felt it was an enriching experience. The worlds greatest Theologian Karl Barth (Romerbrief) fell out with almost everyone along the way even his Protégée Dietrich Bonhoeffer. But when Barth met Catholic Hans Urst Von Balthazar (Agape Love the Way of Revelation) Barth felt inspired and reinvigorated. Well, just listening to them helped me to understand how Karl Barth must have felt inspired with Hans . And when we find a fellow soul we are indeed blessed and find it enriching , as it was here. I felt better just listening to their conversation - Thank you 🙏.

I agree, and what a thoroughly lovely man.

​@@musashimiyamoto586 Hello Musashi, as a 71 yo Christian, I was born into a family that went back many generations as members of the Church of England. To answer your comment I will try to explain as briefly as possible why these times are considered perilous to many. As Christians and according to ancient Jewish texts, some of which form part of the Christian Old Testament, we believe that God sent his only begotten son to Earth to save humanity which he had created in his likeness. God's son's name was Jesus. Jesus forms the backbone of Christianity and as Christians we believe he is our salvation from eternal death. This was because so many of God's people were disobedient and were more interested in what Satan had to offer over what God had to offer and he would resort to killing them by sending natural disasters, plagues and other ways to kill those who did not take him seriously. However, in the New Testament of the Christian Bible we see a loving and less wrathful God who promises that all His people who acknowledge Jesus as their saviour, will live for eternity in heaven. The first step towards the wonderful outcome of living in Heaven with our Father God and his son, Lord Jesus was Jesus Birth in Bethlehem nearly 2000 years ago. The second step was, at the age of 30, he began preaching to the people in Judah and other areas of the Middle East about the Kingdom of God At the age of 33 years due to political issues at that time, Jesus was Crucified, died and was buried in a tomb. The next step was 3 days after he was Crucified, that Jesus arose from the dead as an alive Jesus (not a ghost) with the wounds on his hands and feet from the Crucifiction as well as the stripes (scars on his body from being whipped multiple times. Jesus remained on Earth for four weeks with his disciples to teach them to spread the Word of his death and resurrection to as many people as possible so they would know that Jesus' life was sacrificed to save their souls so that they could spend eternity in Heaven with Him, His Father and our loved ones. For 2000 years Jesus' word has been spread throughout the world to as many people as possible. The fourth and final part to Jesus life and purpose is that one day he will return to Earth and take his beloved believers back to heaven. Reading the Bible gives us clues about when the end times of this Earth will occur and it is because many of the prophecies mentioned in the Bible are happening right now on Earth that Christians believe that Christ will return to take us home to the beautiful real Earth God created for his people (all of humanity who acknowledge that God sacrificed his son, Jesus, for his beloved humanity. Blessings to all🙏🌱💗✝️🙏🕊🙏✝️💗🌱

@@musashimiyamoto586 You're off point here. You are wrong in conceptualising the mesage of the Gospel as one of love without criticism of others or yourself. Corrective Love is just as important as indulgent Love. It is not a duty of a Christian to go around saying flattering platitudes to please people. Galatians 1:10 St Paul says 'If I wanted to please people I wouldn't be a servant of God' Jesus says many divisive and harsh things in the four Gospels. For example he curses the fig tree Mark 11 and some at the judgement Matt 25. It is absolutely permissible for a Christian to anathmetise error and falsehood. And also stand athwart those within Christianity that are lax against standing againstsuch heresy. If you believe in the Gospel then Islam can only be viewed as a counterfeit revelation. Heretical and to be spoken vehmently against. There is such a thing as the Apostle's Curse It is apt for those that stand up (or stand-by silently) in a Cathedral and read verses of the Quran that record Angel Gabriel revealing to Mohammed a prophetic vison denying Jesus is the son of God. Christians should not just ignore that out of an obligation of good neighbourliness. In Galatians 1:8 it says: "But even if we or an Angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have preached, let them be accursed.'

​@@musashimiyamoto586 You're not an educated native speaker of English are you? How is your point proven? Try explaining it again more clearly.

@@musashimiyamoto586 Light/ right classic shibboleth for the Japanese native speaker. I didn't imply only English speakers are more educated. I just suspected you were foreigner.

@@musashimiyamoto586 absolutely. My Cornish ancestry can be traced back to before the Domesday book.

@@musashimiyamoto586 No I am from Penwith.

We are indeed , but I will not yield , we have to remember we ARE the more than people - “We are more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ our Lord…”. It’s not mine , yours or their battle but it is Gods. He never entered a Battle he didn’t win. In N.Y A167 , there is a stone to the Remembrance of The Battle of the Standard. It was costly and bloody Battle . We have to raise our level and raise our Standard - we can win , we can do this through Jesus, never say die !

1. Apart from where he lets slip @ 21:25 that he thinks Catholics will seize cities across the UK, excuse me... Muslims will take cities. Something Nicola Sturgeon has used for EU leverage, check the demographics. 2. It would be interesting to know how Anglican clergy think they can have gay marriage and unity with Rome, or is that the idea, Rome wins when the CofE destroys itself 😢

Awomen

I see that many in London are coming to Jesus through open air ministry at Trafalgar Square.

What, in your opinion, is the reasons for the importance of Christianity in the UK?

@@mmhmm9271 God love all human beings. Due to Adam, sin entered but he prepared His Son Jesus to die on the Cross for us, sinners. Whoever believes that His son Jesus died for our sins, will be saved. (Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. God wants every sinner to repent from their sin and to accept Jesus as their Saviour. Many Christians who are already God's children want to share their joy of being accepted as God's children and to share their faith in Jesus so that everyone come to accept Him and belong to heaven. I pray for you and hope that God's mercy will be poured upon you and that you as well as all those in the UK come to experience His love through Jesus Christ.

I appreciate yoir post, but there is no such thing as a "Holy Chalice". God alone is Holy, and the veneration of anything else is idolatry and blasphemy. Remember those old, ten commandments?!

There is a big difference between venerate and worship so please allow me to say that I do not worship a chalice, ‘chalice’ in this context referring to Holy Communion - verses 54 to 56, in the gospel of St John, chapter 6: “ Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinkers my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me and I in him.”

The Queen merely signs off what the government wants. Her opinion and politics are not allowed.

Yes, he is absolutely correct.

She obeyed Gov not led it. True Christian. Come on.

@@musashimiyamoto586 What other leader of a state is a Christian?

@@musashimiyamoto586 Who? She is the head of State in the UK. Google is your friend.

@@musashimiyamoto586 Good to see you know it all. I chose my avatar to make it easy for those who lack imagination to have some sort of cheap comeback.

She was a decent woman and did her best in life , in the role she was placed 🙏

Norma, you can be so absolutely spot-on sometimes! Elizabeth will be sadly missed. Charles thinks of himself as Defender of Faiths. People simply don't understand or appreciate the value of our Christian heritage.

@@deniss2623 We certainly need defenders of the faith in a largely faithless world. Happy New Year, Denis.

My late Father was an Anglican Minister, whilst going to see Billy Graham this was in the sixties it influenced my Dad into going to theological college in Rochester Kent his tutor was Stuart Blanch who then became Archbishop of York , after becoming ordained this was my Dads vocation rather than an occupation.

Yes , the Bible talks of us as a sweet aroma to God.

You never disappoint Dr Ashenden - thank you .

Don't insult Our Lady. You don't know these people. Research and discover they are enemies of Christ.

Well noted. Elizabeth did indeed pass on the day the Catholic Church celebrates the birth day of Mary Queen of heaven. A bridge not too far. Very apt your description of the rainbow as 'heaven's bunting'.

@@horizon-one If you are going to say Kristen is an insulting person, then first you must gently point out the difference between your personal faith as a Roman Catholic, and the faith of eg CS Lewis a Converted Catholic . And in that not be combative , regarding the distinction between Catholicism and Roman Catholicism . We are part of the Catholic Church you see. You seem to be taking umbrage with half understood Mariology .

@@xvsupremacy7190 Rainbow offers sign of God’s promise & as for the bridge, i personally believe that Queen Elizabeth II was >the< bridge between the Roman Catholic, Orthodox & Anglican Church while her father George VI was the bridge between the people of the Commonwealth regardless of race & her grandmother Queen Mary was a very strict Christian. None of them are perfect [just like most of us] but at least they tried to give their best out of that. "Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted." [Gal 6:1].

@Dani As a practicing Catholic I find your comments insulting. Read Jesus’s words written in the Bible by His Apostles. Jesus’s followers are commanded to go out to the whole world baptizing and teaching all that He taught. It’s “Christians” like you that want to sit at home, privately hiding your faith under a basket. Just the exact opposite of what Jesus commanded. The Catholic Faith is to be exclaimed out in the world forever. We are to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit prisoners, love our neighbors. DO stuff! Go away and take that Bible you received from the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church and hide in your room! “Not everyone who says Lord, Lord will be saved.” Only those who DO the work of the Lord will be saved.

Awomen

@Hernandez, Amen, Gods wrath is coming, the Great Tribulation, worst 7 years of human history before Jesus Christ returns

Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father, awaiting the day of His return.

Doubtful

That is in the Tanakh & speaking to the Jews

@@moniquesmith3236 Don't be so narrow in your thinking. The God of the Hebrews sent Jonah to Nineveh. He cares for Britain as well.

Keep going 👍

Biden is not so much in support of abortion as in support of choice. As a Catholic this is considered a valid stance

No, he did not avoid using Scripture, “He who endures to the end shall be saved” Nor should he avoid using Scripture for the Word of God is powerful , more powerful even than a two edged sword ⚔️… (Ephesians) it is our Warfare manual. Jesus IS the Everlasting Word … satanists have a worldly knowledge of The Word of God , and like the devil can quote it. … eg IF You are the Son of God then turn these stones into Bread (Heavenly Manna ) Jesus Replied with the Word. “It is written , thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and Him only shall you serve…Proverbs 15 says “One Word spoken in due season is like apples of gold (hem of his garment ) in pictures of silver.. (Pictures of silver is Refinement , the Silversmith has to keep gradually removing the dross , until the Silversmith can see a clear image , and the Bible says we are made in His final image , if we continue removing the dross from our Iives, the fripperies that once attracted us .) hence he shared “He who endures to the end shall be saved. Even if we in constancy end up hanging on by the hem of his garment .

You are absolutely correct. There is only One head of the church and that's Jesus Christ. And there is absolutely no salvation apart from the Son of God. "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. But whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on them." John 3:36 This should remind all of us that Jesus Christ is the only King and Judge of the earth. Who dares rouse Him?

Yes, Jesus is the ultimate King, but earth will go through a horrible tribulation first.

I took it he was talking metaphorically .

Only to the Godless

We are the Church, His people , that is why it is called The Church Victorious . Jesus/Yeshua said “This message will be preached in ALL and to the ends of the earth, then shall the end come…” He gives His people a Vision as to the ends of the earth 🌍 to me it was India/Africa, to others the Philippines, South America, America , UK 🇬🇧 , to John Knox it was Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 “Give me Scotland lest I die “. He makes just ordinary people Visionaries because “Without a vision the people will perish “.

Yes Jesus Christ is the only head of the church. And there is absolutely no salvation apart from the Son of God. "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. But whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on them." John 3:36 This should remind all of us that Jesus Christ is the only King and Judge of the earth. Who dares rouse Him?

That might be but Queen Elizabeth 1 was Defender of the Christian Faith .. After all didn't she have Mary a devout Catholic executed!

Peter was not the Rock - Jesus was referring His Father God as the Rock on which His church will be built. And Peter never believed the church will be built on him

He did address that issue , with the ubiquitous practice of eg New Age/Buddhism attempting to supersede Christianity.
