What Do Anglicans Believe? 

I literally started reading your comment as he said it in the video lol

Heresy is waaaay more than that, he didn't say anything incredible tbh

That’s not even the half of it lol

That makes sense. I grew up as a Jehovah's witness, and the denial of Christ's divinity is thd source of most of th er heresy in thst sect

@@SlavaBogu7 i mean, it is, but it's kind like the seven deadly sins. Sure, there are more thsn seven ways you can sin, but they will typically be linked to the archetypes in some way. Likewise, defending heresy will eventually require you to abandon either the divinity or humanity of Christ.

Can’t be both :)

The Anglican Church is Catholic.

The Anglican practice is almost like Catholic, but not union with the church, It was break away during Henry 8th.

Protestant theology, but lithurgical almost catholic.

@Howard Williams Yeah! !!

Hi, I am a Catholic from India. It is happy to see your comment sir.

Yeah but catholics dont think other denominations are christian for them they are the only church

Thats why i left catholicism for baptist

That's not exactly true. Can I ask where you heard that? (I'm asking in the friendliest possible way. I don't get into confrontations in comments, but I'm happy to respectfully discuss).

@@Baraodojaguary I see what you're saying but that's not exactly it. If a Catholic taught you that then I apologize for you being mislead. (I teach this stuff and I've studied it very closely for a long time). Please hear everything I write here in the most non-confrontational way. .... The Catholic Church regards its teachings as the "fullness of truth" (something which it largely believes from reading scripture and the Church Fathers). But most people who call themselves Christians are acknowledged are in fact Christian, as are their communities (whether the call themselves a church, a congregation, etc.) This is why when someone converts to Catholicism from another Christian church, they cannot receive the sacrament of Baptism (you can't be Baptized twice and the official Catholic Teaching is that those who are Baptized in other Christian churches are as Baptized as any Catholic ever. And since the Bible says that Baptism is what makes someone a Christian and it's Christians who comprise these congregations, then other Christian Churches are in fact Christian. In fact, there are many Christians in the world who aren't Catholic who are better at living a Christian life than I am. But when different Christians disagree on predestination and loss of salvation and authority and the canon of scripture (and so on) on denomination is going to be the most correct. The enlightenment thinkers (most of whom rejected Christian churches) convinced a lot of people that all ways of thinking are equal in truth. But conflicting truths can't both be true. So only one group can be more correct than the others. The Catholic Church also stands by the words of Jesus that he desires us to be one and united, and has reasoned that She (the Church) is that point of desired unity. ..... I'm not asking you to agree. But does that make sense?

His mom lives 2 blocks away from me and knew Gordon from before he was a priest. I was kind of blown away when I found this video.

The Anglo Catholic r with the Angleton church. anglo means English Catholic .Angleton is a mix of people Nord anglo Saxon is Angleton u know it the queens church right

Who is his grandfather? I grew up at Incarnation in Dallas

I almost laughed when that played out :D

@@XSquibX it almost appeared staged but I don't think it was

@@dimesonhiseyes9134 Yeah, I doubt it was staged. Although it's reasonable to ask that question when near the entrance (so he could point out the graveyard if they have one), and that's where they were.

@@IamGrimalkin yea especially if you already new there was a possibility that there were remains stored at that church because that's what most other Anglican churches do. But it was just the smoothest transition ever.

The only thing we staged was the handshake. We did it but the cameras weren't rolling, so we did it again.

Your humility is beautiful, and sets a great example for us all!

I’m betting that blesses Matt greatly. He was just interested and look at all the positive by products. It shows you that as humans, we are really more alike than we are different.

Read what the Church Fathers believed and taught.

That is a very humble thing to say. God bless.

Same here brother

Denominations.

I can't believe it either...been involved in multiple protestant churches and most are clueless or apathetic to orthodox/catholic knowledge. This guy has a great talent for interacting with these minsters

@@knightrider9742 We are out there. Blessed are the peacemakers, right. I wish I hadn't taken so long to delving into the study of tradition and church fathers, it's just wonderful. All protestants have the same heritage as the catholics and orthodox, even though most are clueless and in denial of it. There is another growing channel, Gospel Simplicity. He accidentally ended up going to a Catholic bible study, never suspecting his channel would take a leap. Then he went to Catholic masses, interviewed priests and now Lutheran ministers. He will have Orthodox F. Josiah on soon. Great channel and very gentle and respectful man.

@NorthStars the Steagle what did I say that was contrary to that?

@NorthStars the Steagle Well it could be better if these videos were either 10 min or 1 hour... They are not and it confuses me

Look up Dr. Taylor Marshall. The Anglican church, through an unfortunate series of events is not in full communion with the Vicar of Christ and broke Apostolic Succession. Come home to the Traditional Catholic Church. Extra Ecclesia Nulla Salus.

@@jtwall85 I am home. I am in the Catholic Church. My Bishop has valid Apostolic Succession, and holds to the Catholic Faith. I have no need for Rome's tyranny.

Barely Protestant You part of the ACNA? Or a different Anglican denomination? No that it really matters, but I was just curious. I’m actually getting confirmed in August.

@@Joequaile praise God! Yeah, I'm ACNA. I'm currently training for the priesthood at Trinity School for Ministry.

Barely Protestant Blessings brother! I came from a non denominational back round, but both parents were part of the Episcopal Church as kids. So it’s in my blood. 😉

Glad you enjoyed it. Father Hines is a fascinating man to talk with - the time flew by while I was there.

I'm a Canadian Anglican and my church seems to be quite similar to this one besides the fact that The Anglican Church of Canada is part of the Anglican Communion. We also don't have the little individual prayer candles or images of the Virgin Mary. I feel like I would be quite comfortable there as I am definitely more Catholic than other members of my congregation.

Great way to clear up our differences and how deep and full our faith is. I am an LCMS lutheran and could easily identify with this type of Anglican church. Thanks for doing this. Keep it up!!!

@alpha4IV remember its 10 minute bible "HOUR" haha

Yeah, this guy makes great videos. Fun introductions. Watch the one on the Eastern Orthodox church. That’s the form of Christianity that is most foreign to me. The video was very interesting.

Hm, i Thought that calling our Blessed mother the god bearing one (or mother of God, o guess as it evolved in English) was against Lutheran thought. Hey, I guess I learned more than about just Anglicans when I came here, huh?

@@user-rh1jo1yy9e no. Martin Luther had a huge devotion to the Blessed Theotokos.

@@Katholikos78 -That's Very interesting. I also wasn't expecting the term Theotokos to be used either, that's very much an Eastern Tradition we use to call her. 👀

@@user-rh1jo1yy9e Yes. 🙂

@@user-rh1jo1yy9e I believe the ones who are against that term are the Nestorian (aka the Church of the East)

Anglican, Rome, and Orthodox have very high requirements for priesthood, they have to have extensive training in theology to become a priest.

Tao Liu, not all Anglicans, they don’t all study theology in England. Even Lutherans who also prefer all to study for a long time have problems recruiting now in Europe. But it is the aim that they do.

John Romuald Galicano What was wrong with the orthodox one in your opinion?

Fr. Gordon Hines is brilliant. What a wonderful teacher and beautiful spirit. I grew up in the Episcopal Church then converted to Roman Catholic when I got married. I have never heard such a great explanation of the differences and similarities of these churches and Christianity as a whole. Love this. Great job. 🙏🏼❤️

Ifeel like high church Anglicanism is VERY similar to traditional Roman rite of Catholicism. A few notable differences, I noticed that Rev. Gordon Hines said that the mass SYMBOLISES the sacrifice Christ made, where Catholics, orthodox, Copts and Syriacs Believe it to be a literal sacrifice, but many of the rituals are similar if not the same to traditional Latin Catholic

@@Beans-he3xi Lukewarm...Progressive...ME? Not Hardly. Nope, I don't believe All Roads lead to heaven. I would also say Who and Who Is Not a believer, that's not our job, our job is to spread to message of salvation. I do have standards...short version The Nicene Creed. You buy that (either version) as far as I'm concerned, you are in the club. I wonder, how many Catholic's Eastern Orthadox's do you Really Know?

Steven Wiederholt I think he was referring to the seeking Christ as apposed to the devil keeping everyone at each others throats. We are all on a journey and most pray and offer sacrifice for those souls at risk (including our own). Blessings

Steven Wiederholt Could you pray for me? I hurt everyday for the things I have done . And what I have done cannot be undone or repented from.

Master Sergeant See a Catholic priest. God can heel ALL things, but we must come to Him humbly and in His terms. May peace find you and keep you, and may the Blessed Mother hold you most loved hand and guide you to Her Son, God of all things and Victor over all evil. Know that you are loved by a family in heaven calling you to be strong, faith, repent of evil and love.

A pastor? Read about another gospel and how we are to react to that in the Bible and Exodus 20. They break two of the Ten Commandments. Coming together is against Jesus not with Him. Read the Word not the world. Save your soul, repent and turn back to God.

Hello, Sister!☦️ Me too.

I'm from England this church is almost defiantly High church Anglican in my opinion low church Anglicans are less traditional and less Catholic if you like however this doesn't all ways mean more liberal low Anglicans can be more evangelical modernists

​@youser I find this statement interesting because in my worldview, liberal and modernist would almost be synonymous but you seem to use them as to juxtaposition one from the other. I'm curious if that may be cultural or from where that difference stems

@@youser1093 There are Anglo-Catholic liberal "churches" as well. They only look like an Anglo-Catholic church, but they teach liberal theology.

Is the Anglican Church true?

We know a deacon in that communion - Ron Reno, out of Sioux City, I think? Great art teacher. We like working with him. (I'm a member of the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter.)

Are these guys in union with Rome?

@@jackharwood3868 APCK is not. But the Ordinariates are - the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, The O. of Our Lady of the Southern Cross, and the O. of Our Lady of Walsingham. And they're extremely close to this. We have APCK and ACNA guys who work for our school, St. Barnabas Academy.

Badger Lord Patrick do you think these guys will come into union with rome?

@@jackharwood3868 I want them to. There's probably not too much separating us. But the things which separate us are important, not least the final authority of the bishop of Rome.

But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. 13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Agreed

Tradition or word of God.why to continue with the rudiments of Judaism

An interesting thing is you actually can view Anglican and Episcopalian services on RU-vid

Oxford Movement actual Anglo Catholic not high church Anglican is very traditional Catholic

Yeah, to be honest, if I didn't know that this priest was an Anglican, I would definitely mistake him for a Catholic priest. The same with the Lutheran one!

And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Matthew 23:9

@@racheltonner2509Paul referred to himself as a father to the people 🥱 Jesus referred to calling no man God except the one who is in heaven

Okay, so stop calling your father father and stop calling your dad dad. Keep quoting verses that you don’t understand. It takes years of studying to interpret the Bible… and the KJV Bible you’re reading has been heavily altered. The king Henry Bible and the king James are the most altered bibles and have the most removed books…

Thank you Andre. This comment means a lot to me.

Do you know the Gospel? 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 ❤✨

There are no false barriers. Those churches that rejected Apostolic Succession created these barriers themselves by their open, willing, and knowing rejection of it.

We will sadly always be divided by doctrines and how to go about things. Catholicism is very priest-Hood (Vatican and Catholic Churches in america using doctrines ordained from the Vatican) based as apposed to Evangelicals or Pentecostals who believe in a very different doctrine (Pastor , Deacon , Bishop , etc. , Only Authority is Sola Scriptura AKA Jesus Christ)

This is a beautiful comment! Thank you for saying that.

Thus you profile name haha. That's wonderful! I too grew up Evangelical and now I belong to the Reformed faith. God bless you in your studies,brother!

I was raised in evangelical tradition, but I've become increasingly attracted to Lutheranism. It seems that the Lutherans are much more consistent on the doctrine of being saved by faith ALONE in Jesus Christ.

@@stephenkammerling9479 I love Lutheranism in many ways. However, for me Anglicanism is my home. Blessings on you in your journey, brother. Anglicans and Lutherans are very close to each other, theologically.

@@barelyprotestant5365 I am a Lutheran, but I am planning on leaving this denomination because of doctrinal reasons, and I only consider myself a Christian not a Lutheran. The Solas are not in Bible and my church celebrates reformation day, but I don’t because It goes against both God and Jesus commands (Laws) in contrary to Scripture. The Lord forbids Schisms and the separation of the Faith, that’s why. 1 Corinthians 1:10/ Psalm 133:1 and I mean this with all denominations and including the Orthodox Church. I strongly believe in the Christian Doctrines of God and the early Church Father and the Creeds themselves. Peace be to you brother in Jesus name✝️💐❤️👍.

Why did you switch over?

The Orthodox NEVER celebrated the latin mass. Even today Eastern Rite catholics (Greek catholics) have their own liturgy.

Its mostly the same as Catholicism in worship style,

@@MajorWeakness ya there both false!

@@hudsontd7778 the bible is false, or do you mean Christianity in general is false? You can't mean Catholicism is false since its the most biblical.

@@MajorWeakness no the Bible is True that is why Catholicism and Anglicanism is false.

@@hudsontd7778 so since Catholicism gave us the bible then the bible must be false...your logic is false.

I hear you on that, and I definitely plan to continue with the 10-minute stuff both out of strategy and trying to connect with people who don't have as much time or aren't as interested in the deep dive and out of convenience, because it takes an unbelievable amount of time to make videos that are this long.

As opposed to those who bludgeon you with what they think they know.

And I was Roman Catholic and I unpoped to become Anglican Catholic. Why! They demand believe or else on nonessentials! Also Roman Catholics have a saying; Deus est Papa and Papa est Deus(God is the Pope and the Pope is God) which is no different than Julius Caesar who was killed by Brutus Cassius for Caesar trying to be God with the et tu Brute("and you Brute"). When I found this out, I also unpoped. Here is why I unpoped: "The crowning objection to the Roman system was not so much its doctrine in the main, but its rigid regimentation, which dictates every minutest detail of belief, conduct, rite, and ceremony. Some of our brethren and Fathers in God appear to be swayed for the moment by that Romanensian rigidity; against which, as against every attack on the liberty wherewith Christ hath set us free, I remain completely Protestant. But this is too solemn a matter of controversial dealing. It is a matter of man's most sacred prayer; which he cannot pray, whatever book he uses, without the Holy Spirit. We cannot quarrel about a work in which we seek to be led by the Holy Spirit of God: we can only, with complete mutual respect, lovingly try to understand one another."

You are not an Anglican. The ACNA and other splinter groups are not part of the Anglican Communion, you may be part of what you self define as the "Continuing Anglican Movement" but by splitting with the Episcopal Church and Anglican Communion you aren't really Anglican.

@@ciderbusinsideofus I beleive they are part of the "Anglican Province of Christ the King."

If Cranmer were dug up and chose who was Anglican, it would not be the TEC@@josephaugustinerhodenhiser1353

Hello Anglo Catholic here,. Amen. We pray for the Pope, say Hail Mary's Amen

@@gilliangallagher8593 but only as first among equals.

Just become Catholic!!!

I second that!

Angelica Catherine I third this.

I fourth that.

I table the motion.

I fith that

It wasn't Roman Catholic then anglican. The anglican church is just the Church in England, passed down from the very beginning. It's amazing how much Roman Catholicism kept from Anglicanism.

@@devinlawson2208 That's really not true. And I am saying that as someone who attends an Episcopal church.

The Anglo-Catholic revival was popularized by the Tractarian Movement (Fr. John Keble) in the 1830s.

High Church Lutheranism was my last step before Russian Orthodoxy. Very similar to high church anglicanism.

Would love to see him do another video like this with a more reformed low church Anglican minister sometime.

@Jonathan Soko the Anglican church was very protestant after the reformation though, this just isn't historically accurate. this particular brand of anglo-catholicism in that church is the product of the Oxford Movement in the 1880s.

there is one one faith and one baptism

@@nintendonut100 Excuse me but the Oxford Movement was in the 1830s. I think he is mistakenly referring to a book written in the 1880s about the Oxford Movement. The Oxford Movement(theological)was from 1833-1845. The Ritualist or Cambridge Movement(liturgical)(1845-1900) was the successor or the sequel to the Oxford Movement.

Couldnt agree more! Matt, please make this an ongoing work. This is unity manifested. Hearing before judging and appreciating humanity and its choices as God does, with grace.

From what I've heard, it is basically a series and he is currently working on an Episcopal and Catholic video next.

Praise God!

Mysterious ways.

If you've come to appreciate Stan Bush, then I fear I may have little more to offer. Seriously though, enormous internet high five for understanding what I'm going for here and for getting behind it on Patreon.

Well in my opinion Anglicanism in the past was associated with elitism.... I still think it is in many ways. I'm Australian and now catholics make up the largest christian denomination here. In the old days catholics were discriminated against because they were mostly Irish. There were ads in the newspapers for jobs 'Catholics need not apply' what an insult! All commemorations were celebrated in a Church of England Church because we had links to the English Monarchy. I would NEVRE EVER be Anglican or CofE even though I'm a VERY lapsed catholic. Partly because of immigration, now catholics are in the majority and protestants are on the decline here.

😂

Thanks on all fronts. I think Libro.fm is going to be a good partner!
