Proverbs 14:1 A wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish will pull down with her hands that also which is built. I thought of this proverb all through the summer of 2020
One thing I've noticed about female priests (yes, I'm still Episcopalian) is that they are very, very chummy. They treat every sermon like a dinner party. There is no moral authority; just lovey-dovey camaraderie.
I'm agnostic myself, and have been for decades, but the very idea of a _minister_ in a _Christian_ church who should somehow resent opening a service with the mention of the Christian God just takes my breath away. What does she think the point of a _church_ is? It just goes to show that these congregations have become mere left/liberal social clubs. If they had any honesty they'd take the crosses off their buildings and stop pretending to be something they stopped really being a long, long time ago.
This is totally true. I’m a pastor and we have seen a huge wave of people in our church. This has been a direct result of our “doubling down” on traditional Christian worldview. The sheep are starving.
The people are starving so they dont see how you deceive them with flawed Logic. The more they are born into a Religion, they less they think about this. Thats why channel like 'Genetically Modified Sceptic' are important. They COVER and REALLY COVER Religion. Unlike you.
@@loturzelrestaurant i hope you change your mind. As jesus said, Heaven rejoices more over one person who is saved than 99 who are in heaven already. When you feel the holy spirit call to you, read the Gospel of John.
@@derrickdawes7598 I challenge it all the time, but do you? Or do you just claim to? I mean, even old Texts literally say 'Only A Fool gets his Water from just 1 Fountain." In other words: If your so limited that you dont even consider niforming yourself about other Religions and Atheists, than its kinda 'objective fact' that your the one who doesnt know much.
@@loturzelrestaurant The only way faith can grow is challenging it. Jesus once told a parable. There were 2 people, one built his house on a foundation of sand, and the other built his foundation on the rock solid foundation. When a big storm came, the house that was built on the sand fell apart because its foundation was swept away, while the house on the rock stayed steady because its foundation was solid. Many storms come in peoples lives, but only some people can withstand it, and that is if they have the right foundation. Do you have the right foundation? Can you be sure that if your life falls apart tomorrow, you will be safe and protected the whole time?
False teaching is RAMPANT in a world that is 73 yrs into the Final "Generation of the Fig Tree" .. The famine in the end times is not for bread, but for hearing the word of God- Amos 8:11 And the flood of the end times is not that of water, but of Satan's lies- Rev 12:15... Satan will come before Christ claiming to be Christ- II Thessalonians 2:1-4.. And deceive the WHOLE WORLD except God's elect 144,000 - Rev 13:8..
I think you may appreciate what is found in "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints". a good sermon from our last General Conference is called "Defending our Divinely Inspired Constitution". Another great talk is "Hearts Knit Together". We have a volunteer clergy, they don't see attendance as their daily bread, they see attendance as solace to those who come to church. We do have tithing, but it is collected privately, and is fixed at ten percent of all our increase. That tithing goes to great causes, like Welfare Square, but also to things like building Temples. You may have seen some of our Temples. You have probably heard of us before, people insist on calling us Mormon. But you have almost certainly heard at least one thing that is false. We worship Jesus Christ as our lord and savior, not Joseph Smith, not Mormon, and not Russel M. Nelson. We look forward to and prepare for the second coming of Jesus Christ. Please feel free to ask me any questions. I am not a full-time missionary. Just a member with time on his hands to reply.
@@billb3673 what you quote is quite true. Do not forget that satan is selfish, and keeps power to himself, but Jesus Christ wills that we become like him and receive ALL that he has, see Matthew 5: 48, John 17: 20-24, Romans 8: 16-18. The devil is even jealous of our bodies and wants us to deny them, and he will convince the whole world except for the elect that His counterfeit model of Christ is the ONLY model of Christ, and will convince his followers to even kill those who oppose his counterfeit doctrine.
@@billb3673 oh i have that right here: 13 And it came to pass that Akish gathered in unto the house of Jared all his kinsfolk, and said unto them: Will ye swear unto me that ye will be faithful unto me in the thing which I shall desire of you? 14 And it came to pass that they all sware unto him, by the God of heaven, and also by the heavens, and also by the earth, and by their heads, that whoso should vary from the assistance which Akish desired should lose his head; and whoso should divulge whatsoever thing Akish made known unto them, the same should lose his life. 15 And it came to pass that thus they did agree with Akish. And Akish did administer unto them the oaths which were given by them of old who also sought power, which had been handed down even from Cain, who was a murderer from the beginning. 16 And they were kept up by the power of the devil to administer these oaths unto the people, to keep them in darkness, to help such as sought power to gain power, and to murder, and to plunder, and to lie, and to commit all manner of wickedness and whoredoms. 17 And it was the daughter of Jared who put it into his heart to search up these things of old; and Jared put it into the heart of Akish; wherefore, Akish administered it unto his kindred and friends, leading them away by fair promises to do whatsoever thing he desired. 18 And it came to pass that they formed a secret combination, even as they of old; which combination is most abominable and wicked above all, in the sight of God; 19 For the Lord worketh not in secret combinations, neither doth he will that man should shed blood, but in all things hath forbidden it, from the beginning of man. 20 And now I, Moroni, do not write the manner of their oaths and combinations, for it hath been made known unto me that they are had among all people, and they are had among the Lamanites. 21 And they have caused the destruction of this people of whom I am now speaking, and also the destruction of the people of Nephi. 22 And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed; for the Lord will not suffer that the blood of his saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance upon them and yet he avenge them not. 23 Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain-and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be. 24 Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up. 25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning. 26 Wherefore, I, Moroni, am commanded to write these things that evil may be done away, and that the time may come that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of men, but that they may be persuaded to do good continually, that they may come unto the fountain of all righteousness and be saved. -Excerpt is from Ether 8 in "The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ".

The same for you my British cousin. In my mind Great Britain, Australia and America are the bedrocks of freedom in the world, as they were in the 1980's though, not right now!
I love how Mr Klavan discusses his faith and God! So outspoken and passionate. I share his sentiment. Here I am, 3 months pregnant (1st child), facing job loss (due to vaccine mandates), soon to be unemployed and uninsured (my MD refusing to help me get an exemption). Yet, I know God is good. I’m convinced it’s for his glory and my good as Romans 8:28 says. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows, and hurts at times but at the end of the day this I know to be true.
1 you need a new doctor if you are pregnant and he won't help you. 2- I thought pregnant women are automatically exempt from vaccine mandates so 3- if so, maybe it's time to talk to an employment lawyer. Unbelievable..what kind of monsters are you working for? I keep hearing pregnant are exempt..is this not true?
I'll be praying for you and your little one, Sara. Please look into the medical aid programs in your state. Many states have programs for pregnant women specifically, and many hospitals provide free/reduced cost care to individuals or families making less that 300% above the poverty line (which is around $38,000 a year for one person and $51,000 for a family of two in the U.S.). If you are located outside of the U.S. it may still be worth some Google searches and calls to see if there are similar programs in your area. There may also be local churches that could offer aid or resources.
I left protestantism and became eastern orthodox Christian. Love the liturgy, depth and spirituality of this church. No regrets. Glad to hear you found a home!

Jesus does not love us into our sin; He loves us out of them. We can find ourselves in Jesus or we can find our identity in sin. Only one of them has the key to life.
I agree. Sin can come for you for sure, but you must always be going towards God, otherwise you are heading towards sin. Do not befriend sin, but find yourself in a true unity with the right direction.

Well said. Modern day general authorities of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have said "come as you are, but don't expect to stay as you are"
Being a Roman Catholic, I can attest to the ONE time I attended a Church that was "liberal". I was attending college, and the college Catholic Church had an older priest who was just winding down in his years. Nothing against old people, but he was kind of like Biden, willing to let other people run the show while he did the bare minimum. What that resulted in was a lady basically ran Mass. SHE would give the homily after the Gospel was read by the priest, and woo boy was it liberal. Women's rights this, republicans bad that, abortions being a choice, it was bad. Like, I'd go there, and then tune her out. Well, as is the practice of the Diocese of Saginaw(not sure if it's universal in the Church), priests rotate after 4-9 years, and a new, young, fresh out of ordination priest took over, and he was very conservative/traditional. It was night and day different. Got rid of the soft rock band that played songs, brought back the organ. There was Latin in the Mass again. The woman who ran the show tried to lobby her political power, remained for a short while, and then I never saw her at Mass again. It was BEAUTIFUL! It was a Catholic Mass again!!! Structure, order, everything was returned. And that's not to say that they new young priest was a stuffy prude, I remember one Mass where the Gospel was about marriage, and when the priest went to give his homily, he PERFECTLY impersonated the priest from "The Princess Bride", MAWWWAGE, MAWWAGE IS THE BOND....", we were ROLLING in laughter.
I started going to my local Roman Catholic Church for the first time in years but within a few weeks they had a guest speaker come on in mid-mass to talk about “diversity”. I stopped going soon afterwards. 🤷🏻♂️
@@elasticabanda6473not always easy to find. The only church I know of that celebrated the TLM was within reach stopped celebrating it after Francis' crackdown on the TLM. In Pope Francis' Catholic Church it feels like everyone is welcome except Catholics.
I would be VERY surprised if they had a speaker come in mid-mass to do anything that was not related to the mass. These things are structured. This type of thing just isnt done. The ONLY part of the whole Mass that allows for someone to speak off the cuff is the Homily. And the Priest gives those. Not a guest speaker. So this is either vastly exaggerated, an outright lie, or you need to go to your Bishop immediately and report this. And its not because of what was being talked about. The content doesnt matter. Its not appropriate to do so in the Mass regardless of what the topic is.
Andrew, as a young woman who has had the hardest time finding a christian church, I'm comforted knowing that there are people like you who ARE the church :) God bless you man
@@UserMcName 1 Timothy 2:12 exists. Women are clearly not permitted to hold authority over men. The conservative interpretation would be that women aren't allow to hold any authority over men at all, whereas a more moderate interpretation would be that women shouldn't hold teaching or authority positions over men in a purely religious context. One way or the other though, it's clear to me that the only way you are going to get female clergy is if you are flatly ignoring 1 Timothy 2:12, and if you are ignoring one part of the scriptures, what's stopping you from ignoring others? At that point, just ignore all the parts about needing a savior at all and go become a Unitarian.
@@BigSneed404 Thank you for taking the time to share this. As a teacher, and a daughter and sister to beautiful, noisy matriarchs, I can’t believe God wants our silence.

Alistair Begg is a great pastor that preaches the Gospel . . . I would attend there if I lived close enough to it. But they are closer to a baptist church like Charles Spurgeon, not like Catholic or Anglican or Presbyterian.
Blessed to be a member of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. Lutheran Church split decades ago over what we now call wokeism. Missouri Synod stands on the firm foundation of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the teachings of the bible. All other ground is sinking sand !
Yep. I left the ELCA for the Church of the Lutheran Confession two years ago because of the Left-wing politics that were shoved down my throat in confirmation class
I recommend the Books that the Famous Unhealthy Atheist 'Onision' wrote. Well, not the Books itself, but the Book-Reviews.

Jesus has no historical proof of existing, so you may wanna add this to the long list of 'made-up' stuff in the bible. Ya know, people back then wanted Gold. And people still want it, so they keep going.
I'm very glad that over the last 20 years the church I've been attending has not wavered or given in to any woke drivel. In fact, our senior pastor preached earlier this year that under God there is only one human race, and last week during his sermon he spoke about how there are differences between men and women and that both are made in the image of God. To God be the glory! EDIT: Here's one of the sermons from my church I mentioned in case anyone would like to listen. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6eA7iLDwFgs.html
I read an article once about how the dichotomy of the sexes reflects the nature of God. "He made him in His own likeness. Male and female He created them, and He blessed them." Those two concepts don't come one after the other by accident.
My family used to be a part of the Episcopal church and left in the early 2000s after they went even more off the rails. I'm currently attending a very traditional LCMS church and I've never been happier.
As an ex LCMS ‘professional church worker’, I can say the LCMS does have potential for those seeking a traditional biblically-based theological home. The weakness I found was that the LCMS, like most Lutheran churches, tends to believe that if you’re baptized we are saved. We have a process called “confirmation“ usually beginning in the seventh grade and ending up in the eighth grade, where children are taught the basics of the Lutheran understanding of the Scriptures. What I discovered was that less than 50% of those who have been baptized 12 years earlier were in our confirmation classes; and after finishing confirmation another 2/3 left, never to return. An LCMS congregation is probably NOT the place to be if you want to have your faith challenged and grow in your Christian life.
I'm drawn to confessional Lutheran churches myself. They have all the things I like about Catholicism (liturgical service, a deep respect for holy communion, etc) and none of the things about Catholicism that don't quite sit right with me. I'm partial to LCMS churches, having been confirmed in one, but really any Lutheran church that isn't part of the ELCA is likely good. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America no longer hold to the confessions of the Lutheran church (or the direct scriptures for that matter) and it definitely shows. Woke language, women and trans ministers, etc.
I grew up in the ELCA and left immediately after I was confirmed because of the shameless woke campaigning. Now I'm a member of the Church of the Lutheran Confession. Very traditional and focused on the Scripture
I've only once met a female 'clergywoman'. I was working in Glasgow and looking for somewhere to have lunch, and I saw that there was a café in a nearby church. I went in, ordered my food and sat reading my Bible. The lady came in (she was the 'minister' of a nearby Unitarian Church) and spotted me, and made a beeline for me. We had a brief and instructive chat. What I took away from it were the waves of condescension that she emitted - I didn't express my disapproval, and, as is my policy with everyone whatever their beliefs, I was open, friendly and polite. She noticed I was reading a Darby Bible and immediately knew what I would think of her profession. Then, I feel, she was on the defensive and wanted to 'put me in my place' for the views I hadn't expressed, but which she knew I held. I leave such people to the Lord, to distinguish the tares from the wheat.

My brother, as a Muslim I can tell you with confidence nothing of this world should come between your mission to God, the sinners will burn in hell fire anyway so let them corrupt their own communities. It is our duty to enforce pure practices in our own communities. Real talk these new wave PC people are pretty big pussies and are weak, you must enforce fear mongering and threatening tactics to take back your society.
We are thrilled for you Andrew that you have found a Church that puts God first! What a concept, eh? As a Roman Catholic, in a Traditional Latin Mass parish, I love the Liturgy too. The Mass (Liturgy) is ALL about Him. Our priest says howdy AFTER Mass when we gather to say hello, exchange bits of news, and have coffee. Welcome to the Way, the Truth, and the Life. God bless.
I find it interesting that you want a Catholic liturgy that isn't Catholic. Just go straight to the source! lol But glad you found a new Church either way. God bless you.
Lol I was thinking the same way!!! “I want the Catholic stuff without all that Roman stuff!” There is the Anglican ordinariate but they’re tied to Rome, but I doubt that’s what Mr Klavan is talking about. Still with you though Mr Klavan!
Exactly. You can’t say it has Catholic theology if it’s not under the papacy. The papacy is part of Catholic theology. Sure, it has some of Catholic theology, but so does Methodism.
@@marlonmoncrieffe0728 he also says people don't go to hell. Jesus talked about hell a lot. It can't be taken from the faith and still be Christian. It's new age religion if there's no hell. Is he turning the church new age?

"Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness. I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet woman will be saved through bearing children, if she continues in faith and love and holiness, with modesty." -- Timothy 2: 11-15. Any so-called church that has female clergy is anathema to God. If the building is covered in rainbow flags, and it has some butch woman who calls herself pastor trying to preach the Gospel; know that it has been taken over by Satan.
I moved last year when many churches were still closed. Started looking for a new church within walking distance this year (I don't own a car). None of the churches near my home seemed very biblical. Finally found a LCMS Lutheran church just a little too far from my house to get there and back without limping, so I've been watching their services online. I'm working on adding some strength to my legs and/or getting a bike soon, because church just isn't quite church without holy communion.
I was LCMS for a long time before I became a heretic. It’s a very conservative biblical church, if that’s what you’re looking for you’ll definitely find it. There’s very little liberalism in that branch of Lutheranism.
@@dblewellen3798 Thankfully a lot has changed since I made that comment. I now attend church every Sunday (barring the rare occasions where I'm sick, like I am today unfortunately). I have a very generous church family who provide transportation.
Call the pastor. He may be able to find a way to get you back and forth without walking. Many churches have vans or small buses and pick up and return people who don't drive, or have vehicles.
Hey Andrew, That is awesome that you found a Church that you love. I was wondering if you ever checked out the Traditional Latin Mass in the Roman Catholic Church?
When the Catholic church claims to be the one true church bc it originated with Peter... We all began in the same place. The Catholic church has evolved and changed over the years just as those that branched off. It is light-years away from what it looked like in the early church.
There’s a church I pass by everyday that has all the slogans “black lives matter”, “love is love”, “we believe in climate change” It’s a mess and makes me want to throw up 🤮
For 1500 years there was Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy (in my opinion, they split for political reasons) why follow a denomination that was started 500 years ago??
I was atheist my adult life having been raised protestant. When I decided to give religion another look, Only the traditional would suit. That left Roman Catholicism or eastern orthodox.
I found the same, having been raised as. Jehovah’s Witness. I knew nothing of real Christianity. I’ve decided to become a Catholic after careful consideration, and prayer.I’m starting RCIA and hoping to be baptized as soon as I can. I wish you all the best too, my future brother.
@@AlexofAwesome The radio and RU-vid show “called to communion” was and is a tremendous resource for my questions. It’s a show specifically for people who are not Catholic and what is preventing them from converting . Good luck to you too!😊
Looks like you found a good church Mr. Klavan. But if that changes, please consider the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. Conservative, historic liturgy, Belief in the Real Presence in the Lord’s Supper, and keeps politics out of the pulpit.
It"s the easiest!!!! Look for Christ!!! He is locked waiting to see you at the Sanctuary, alive in the shape if bread so you we can see Him . Look for the apostolic succession, the one Jesus built with Peter as the foundation stone Mt 16,18. God bless you!!!
Peter is the Rock. That’s the thing I struggled to see until I sucked up my pride and prayed deeply about, while doing further research about the early Church. It was a perspectival flip. Our Lord promised he would build his Church and would be with us until the end of the Age. I am a sinful man yet to be baptized, but I am starting RCIA. I wish you well.
4:20 "Anglo Catholics are Catholic churches who are not connected to Rome." I respect this video... Also, GK Chesterton would like a word with you... "Henry VIII was a Catholic in everything except that he was not a Catholic. He observed everything down to the last bead and candle; he accepted everything down to the last deduction and definition; he accepted everything accept Rome. And in that instant of refusal his religion became a different religion..." He goes on - I encourage you to read his full essay.
You should try to find a Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod congregation. Liturgy, the best preaching you’ll hear, sacraments, etc. And they are so focused on Jesus. It might be what you’re looking for.
Sounded like he was describing my Lutheran Church- Missouri Synod when he was descibing his ideal church. Liturgical setting with a beautiful weekly dose of both Law (conviction) and Gospel (salvation).
Expository preaching will keep garbage out. Regardless of the type of church, preaching focused on exposing the meaning of the given biblical passage will keep folks on track.
Congratulations, Andrew for finding a Biblical church. I was born and raised in the Episcopal church. I left 9 years ago, at age 53. Best decision I ever made.
I sent both my son (26) and daughter (12) to an Episcopal preschool. In those 13 years, I could see the difference. My 26 year old was baptized as a young teenager into the Baptist church & so we all joined this church. I do love it but somewhere in his early college life, he got a bad taste about the Baptists. He was falling away from religion altogether. My heart was breaking & then after a year or two of my tears & prayer he started searching again. One of the first churches he decided to revisit was the Episcopal church. He went one or two times. He studied & searched & found his perfect church. He coverted to Orthodoxy last summer ❤
I have found the Orthodox churches to have changed the least in the past 2000 years and are the closest to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the church Jesus founded. Just visit one and you will see this to be true.
That is why I love my church so much. My pastor loves people, and welcomes anyone, but he doesn't compromise on the Bible, and he's not afraid to preach it, even if the world stands against him.
For Catholics, the first place to look is the Traditional Latin Mass. My priest has great homilies, and the liturgy is very reverent and the choir sings Gregorian chant. It's wonderful.
He really nailed it. Preaching the Gospel should be easy. Like he said, it's written down. All you have to do is read what it says and talk about it. And, he's so precise in his thinking. It would be cool to have Klavan on my channel to talk about communication skills because he's excellent.
I understand that this quote is meant to stress the importance of living out the Good News by our action, but we NEED WORDS to communicate the Gospel. Jesus PREACHED as He healed.
@@ClaritySinger All too often peoples actions don't match their words and their actions are out of fear (wrath of god) rather than faith (love of god), so their words, no matter how exact and often they quote scripture, are empty.
What i wonder is: why is she even a pastor/priest then? it doesn't even sound like she has a good faith in Christ. Furthermore, it is important to note that just because one woman is poorly motivated and poorly focused on the purpose of life and church, does not mean all women are. Nor are all women incapable of being used by God for His purpose. (I.E. book of Joel in the Old Testament.)
Find a Lutheran Church Missouri Synod church that follows the historical liturgy. They still teach the Bible is the word of God and are reverent. Most importantly, they teach that a sinner is justified before God by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, apart from his works (Roman's 3 & 4; Augsburg Confession IV).
There's a difference between the liturgy of the word and the liturgy of the eucharist. You can have a poor homilist and still engage in the sacrament. Increasingly I find that's the case, one catholic's perspective.
@@StrategicWealthLLC no worries, long story short in Catholic theology the bread and wine becomes the body and blood of christ. First half of mass is listening to scripture and the priests words on the scripture. The second is the ritual that changes the bread and wine and then the people receiving it. Totally short overview, but that's the basic concept.
Andrew Klavan really needs to check out a Traditional Latin Mass or an Eastern rite church. Or the Ordinariate. Looks kinda Anglican but is truly Catholic.
He definitely should. I know others will get angry at this, even though that's not my intention, but Catholicism is the full truth of Jesus Christ and his Gospel.
I'm glad to hear that you found a church that makes Christ Jesus it's center. That is key. I would say though, that application of the gospel to everyday life is extremely important, always relating back to scripture.
Congratulations! I feel your pain. Try living in D.C, brother. We left the Episcopal church. Found: one non-woke bible church (via Texas) here, one good Anglican church, and most of the Catholic churches are not flying the freak flag. Otherwise, ya gotta go to Virginia...
This is very hard to say since I really like you, Mr. Klavan, but my church actually does teach only the Bible, but you wouldn’t like it there, either. I’ve recently heard you argue with a few clear biblical doctrines simply because you don’t like them. Sin is sin across the board, not just the ones we choose to agree are bad. This, again, makes me so sad, since you used to be my favorite Daily Wire host (I still really like you and pray for you and your family 😊), however it has grieved me of late to hear your viewpoints on matters such as these. This may have come off as critical, but it wasn’t meant to be. I wouldn’t have ever said anything until being prompted by the subject of this video. God bless you and yours.
I just heard about Andrew Klavan today. Your quote is below. Do you have any video titles that describe what you mean below? 'I’ve recently heard you argue with a few clear biblical doctrines simply because you don’t like them.'
We never completely agree with everyone. I disagree with Andrew probably on the same things you do, but I still find him to be engaging and focused on the heart of issues, seeing the transcendent above the politics.
I would love the hear Klavan’s take on the Messianic congregations? It brings back our Hebrew roots but acknowledge Yeshua. If you read this, I’ll listen for a response.
Tish Harris Warren, the woman he maligned in the video is ACNA. She's no leftist either (not that I'm in favor of women's ordination, but do your homework dude).
Come on Klavan. You should know by now that the Catholic Church is post-messianic Temple Judaism and Judaism is pre-messianic Catholicism. Only in the Catholic Church will you find the Temple Sacrifice as it was before Christ, the Lamb of God. Will you partake in the Passover feast?
I live in the SF bay area. Its hopeless to find a not woke church here. I went to one on Easter that someone promised me wasn't woke but sure enough, they talked about equity.
I hear you. Same for me. Over 20+ years we find a good church and about 5-7 years in the pastor drifts away from the Gospel and into the worldly trend of the day. I see a lack of preaching the word, a tendency to find scripture to bolster a worldy philosophy instead of letting scripture challenge and convict, no enthusiasm for evangelism or missions, more specialized programs, small groups that are just social meetings, no emphasis on equipping disciples. Almost an embarrassment to be a Christian in the Bay Area. It's heartbreaking. The only denomination I see holding fast is Calvary Chapel and some independent churches. But they are few and far between. That said, we need to pray fervently for revival and not give in to despair. Keep running the race with perseverance, keeping our focus on Christ.
I don’t know where you live and I know you’re a Protestant, but you might consider trying an Orthodox (Eastern, Greek, etc) Church. They aren’t woke. At all.
Hi Andrew! YHWH Bless you! We don’t go to any churches. We try to be Faithful from home. We try follow people (Theologians/ Pastors) on YT, but they are becoming less and less ... Stephen Pigeon is a good one to follow! Xx
I'm glad you found a church that you enjoy, particularly one that focuses on liturgy. I'd urge you to look for an Anglican Use parish (one that belongs to the Personal Ordinariate which is in communion with Rome) so you get Anglican liturgy, the preaching of the Gospel, and valid sacraments (especially the Eucharist). Since Anglicans changed the sacramental formulas they used after breaking with Rome back in the day they no longer have apostolic succession, which means their priests lack the sacramental power to confect the Eucharist. The Anglicans who have recently come back into communion with Rome, however, have all been validly (re-)ordained. It would probably be a great fit for you and would have the added benefit of sacramental graces in the Eucharist, Confession, etc. God Bless.
I was coming to the comments to say the same thing ❤ I am not converted but I think I would love to one day?! It is a beautiful & welcoming religion...but I am not sure I could ever fast enough! 😅 My 26 year old son was baptized last summer in the Orthodox church & I've never known a happier, more whole person! He lives in Shreveport & I will have a grandchild in the next week & look forward to attending church with him & his family as often as I can possibly get down there ❤❤❤
Agreed, I thought the same thing, as someone who left the Episcopal for the Catholic Church at age 26, and finally came home to the Orthodox Church at age 55.
I implore Klavan to visit a Greek Orthodox mass one of these days, they are usually half in Greek and half in English, but it really is a beautiful thing (and the bread is leavened bread for theological reasons you can look up, so it actually tastes good!). Also at my church, each person goes up and actually has a spoonful of wine and bread out of a chalice given by the Priest (probably not the most sanitized thing, but it is far more meaningful). I've never been to an non-Greek Orthodox "Orthodox" Church, but I am sure they have beautiful masses as well.
To add on if he wants an all English liturgy and if one is nearby there is The Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America. I know it's a mouthful but it's completely in English.
@@MilkyKilky Yes this too, there are probably plenty of Orthodox churches that are in full communion with other Orthodox churches that do English only masses. I haven't done much research on it but I am sure there is plenty. Great point.
