The Strange Protestant Bible of Henry VIII 

Ryan, I just finished your book. Well done. In your book, (section on The Jewish Canon), there’s an incredible claim; you claim that: The author of the original texts and oral traditions were called directly by God. What’s the evidence for such an assertion? Why not weigh the chances of objective proof-for example Bayesian probability-the likelihood that a ‘god’ inspired text as conjecture and subjective? There's zero evidence of 'god'. And what defines ‘god’? Ever watch Ancient Aliens? ...Here's a reply: Apologists bend over backward to square the circle. You make the claim that…”The books of Moses and the larger and shorter prophetic books clearly fit into the category of God’s direct authorship-and written or recorded based on the teachings of Israelite leaders.” Where’s any objective evidence of an empirical foundation of the later KJV’s evidence of provenance? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. There is Zero primary source evidence. Oral traditions? The KJV, which BTW, has thousands of issues not outlined in your book i.e. there’s no primary sources or corroborating historical attestations of miraculous accounts in the KJV or its predecessor texts. Quite the contrary. A big, big, problem for the KJV as an authority. Interesting. Now that everyone has a phone with a camera available I can't wait for the upload to FB or RU-vid of any evidence of a divine miraculous event or the devil's influence i.e. demonic possession. *(Sources)* Scott, E.F., 1940.

My copy arrived at the post office today, but I didn't get to the post office. I hope to get my copy tomorrow.

Ayyyeee! Im broke but I'm buying your book in spirit lol.

+DS Shakespeare Did you really just ask Dr. Reeves to provide evidence of a transcript between God and Moses?

@ DS Shakespeare inspired, In-Spirit. n·spired inˈspī(ə)rd/Submit adjective 1. of extraordinary quality, as if arising from some external creative impulse. 2. (of air or another substance) that is breathed in. In Ancient Greek πνέω (pnéō, “breathe” הַשׁרָאָה breath In order to speak you have breath come out in order to hear words. And breathe in the " Wind" Then those word are written down.

Indeed! I've just stumbled onto his channel...and I'm already sad he's gone!

As a Muslim - I must say I sincerely appreciate his work and am very grateful to him and benefit from his videos and even though I disagree with many of his interpretations of events that include Islamic - Christian Conflicts, I just recognize that of course he’s going to interpret it as a Christian since he’s a Christian lol. May Allaah have mercy on brother Ryan Reeves - Ameen

Your enthusiasm for church history is great, but please keep in mind that it's just a video-lecture from a protestant seminary... It's not "The Sacred Teachings of St. Ryan of Reeves"... It's just part of his college class, that's why he stopped making them when he was done; the class is the same every year lol

Try emailing him through his website.

@@giuseppelogiurato5718 Calm down.

Lochricolife nerd alert

one of the best voices

@@TheMadloops agreed

@Sanji Kun is he really..?

@Sanji Kun neat!

its very addictive

Ditto. Dr Reeves does a great job at making this history come alive

Yeah, here I thought I might be the only person binge-watching Church History I, but the subscriber count has increased from 85K to 89K just in the past month or two, since I discovered the channel. Thank you, Dr. Reeves - you rock history!

Good stuff. Thanks for this

Interesting. Thank you for that. These people that want to identify the king with the head of a church are misguided. Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and render unto God...

Is it ironic that Tyndale’s “Obedience” might have inspired the King on the one hand while forming much of the backbone for the KJV which in time would likely be the preferred translation for those most anti-hierarchical Protestant streams?

​​​​@@eddievangundy4510There is only One Head of the Church Christ! However, the King is God's Anointed Prince, and is responsible before God for the Health and Well-being of the Church in all lands that God has given the King to Judge, Protect, and Guide the People. A Christian King is Anointed with the Holy Oils by the Bishop and with this Anointing comes Responsibility, Grace and Wisdom to Protect not only the Civil Government of the People, but also the Holy Church in all the Lands God has given the King Authority over. Christian Kings in neither the East or the West were considered simple layman, but a clergy member in spite of not being a Bishop, Priest, or Deacon. This is True not only under the New Testament, but also under the Old Testament. King David, Solomon, Josiah etc. Exercised Legitimate Authority over the Church of their day. The Archbishop or Metropolitan of the Kingdom is a legitimate subject of the Monarch of the Land. A Christian King is supposed to be an Icon of Christ for his people. Christ is the only perfect Icon of the Father!

Nicole Reynolds // thanks! I'll be back soon. :) Covid did a number on my plans. I think I saw some of your singing on Facebook? Beautiful voice.

@@RyanReevesM Wow! Thank you! ❤

@@RyanReevesM Please put out a video soon explaining stuff and giving us a timeline, if you'd be so kind! If anything it'd be nice just to have resolution to your disappearance and say goodbye! Thank you for all your hard work here over the years and I hope all is well for you.

Is King Charles the head of the ANCA?

Tell everyone and there mother.

I'm not sure I can trust you though, Dutch. I mean, you won't even tell me what the plan is :)

@@RyanReevesM You Have Got To Keep Faith. I love these videos. I listen to them and often repeat them while I play my Crusader Kings 3 game. I enjoy the videos about the Middle Ages especially like the ones on the merovingian kings and Charlemagne. Alfred the great. They are phenomenal and enjoyable. I hope you reupload more soon.

Just finished my next script

​@@RyanReevesMWell, if that ain't a blessing...! That is brilliant news. Thanks for letting me know. 🥳🙏

​@@RyanReevesM+1

Don't make me sad like this.

Why he ain’t back yet?

I second that emotion!

Freak King Carlos II Yeah I'll actually be doing this full-time soon. September everything will launch.

Ryan Reeves Is there a Patreon or anything?

There will be. Part of what will allow me to work on this daily. Stay tuned :)

The Wolf Hall miniseries is a nearly perfect historical drama. Everything is so well done from the acting to the sets, the costumes, the lighting, all of it. The only thing that keeps it from seeming like they travelled back in time with cameras and filmed the actual events is the fact that so many of the actors have familiar faces from other movies and TV shows. Really hope they do another series for the third book with the same actors reprising their roles from Wolf Hall where ever possible.

Yes.. I too hope he is ok.. it's most certainly been a while since a new video. Be well.. take care.
