My PhD was from Cambridge University. My goals here are to provide free, quality explorations of history, philosophy, art, and even subjects I find interesting.
I don't take myself too seriously, though I always try to take each subject seriously. I also do not expect everyone to agree with me on everything. That is the fun of history: a lot to argue over!

What is Christian Liturgy? (In 90 Seconds)
Funny you say "hard to lump all protestants together." Um, as long as they are in protest of any or all points of Christ's teachings, they are ALL heretics and in schisim from the Catholic Church established by Christ. End of discussion. (That's what protestant means) "Not one Jot, one Tittle, shall not in no wise be taken from my word." -Jesus
Greek Orthodox Church or Byzantine Church is not a misnomer. If anything is speaks to the origin of Christianity in Eastern Europe. When Western Rome felt in the middle of 5th century AD. Eastern Rome remained intact at Constantinople. Eastern Rome used Greek as their daily language. Most of the early version of the Bible translated from Hebrew were written in Greek. The Eastern Europeans who adopted Christianity did not have a written language. Cyril and Methodius were Greek Orthodox monks sent by the Byzantine Emperor to christianize the Slavic people or Eastern Europeans. Cyril and Methodius used the Greek alphabet to create a Slavic equivalent for their written language. Thus the Slavic people were able to translate the Bible into their Slavic language. So it is more correct to use Greek Orthodox or Byzantine.
I grew up in a pentecostal church and was absolutely traumatized by it, as an adult I have become to know and believe that it is a very demonically driven belief system.
Great video. Although your thumbnail of Santa Claus looks strangely reminiscent of Daniel Wallace.
They like to believe everyone before the enlightenment was a mindless theocrat, and we are now massively more advanced, most folks even now don't really understand physics or astronomy, and the establishment still targets mavericks of all kinds, sometimes imprisons them, not much has changed really
You sound like a Zoroastrian Buddhist!😉

Halloween and November 1st The Day of the Dead is in remembrance of the great flood. When else in history has so many people perished at one time in one event? It is now something far different. Blessings to you
Great. Intuitively, it is a more satisfying explanation that the schism had a far stronger casual relationship with disputes over who had a say e.g. the pope than with theological disagreements themselves.
As a firmly rooted Christian who is offended by Flat Earth/Young Earth headcases labeling anyone a heretic who doesn't believe that lay people relying on a painfully narrow "literal" asynchronous misinterpretation of the KJV 1611 as the end-aĺl-and-be-all of Canon, I can say, "I am not surprised by any of this." Flat Earth, Reformed Theology, Azusa Street Revival, etc ... There seems to be a frustrated, motivated outcast with no formal tutelage or accountability as the spearhead of all of these dubious ideas.
I believe that "the flat earth 'theory'" is a psyop to make all other conspiracies look deranged. There is no way people quote KJV as if it was the original text.
Amazing amazing work @RyanReevesM
And yet you provide no firm empirical proof that the earth is a spinning ball 93 million miles away from the sun… interesting 🤔
Matthew 24:4 KJV: And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. Some (I said SOME) Pentecostalism teachers past & present were and still are false teachers.
Catholism is the biggest religious CON ever made up by man!
The Queen James Bible, has made the King James Bible sane.

This is pretty even judgement as a charismatic. I do think you missed that there is prescriptive passage of prophecy in Acts in Peter saying in the last days… and also in 1 Corinthians and throughout Paul’s letters say we should prophecy and and speak tongues. 1 Corinthians shows us there are different gifts “wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, speaking in tongues, and interpretation of tongues. “

Dr./Mr. Reeves. Are you still at Gordon Cromwell?
Why do people follow these churches rather than christ?
The Puritans and the Church of England were embroiled in conflict…so KJ called together a conference to work out a solution. A common Bible was suggested.

"15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. "1:5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed." Galatians 1:5-9. "2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9. "3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith." Romans 3:23-27.
"6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 6:12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any." 1 Corinthians 6:9-12.
"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." REVELATION 21:8
People want an experience from God more than to experience God by word and sacrament
1 john 5:7 along with other passages that only appear once in the bible ARE quoted and referenced by the ante-nicene fathers which pre date manuscripts used by new translations. 1 john 5:7 Quoted by priscillikian (liber apologeticus) Referenced by Cyprian ( treatise 1, unity of church sec.6) Terrulian ( adversus praxes c.xxv) St. Jerome ( prologue to the canonical epistles) Also Priscillikian says its in johns writing not just repeating the phrase. If i am wrong please explain but this is important.

You restarted your channel, don’t leave us hanging Dr Reeves
Just needed a moment. On my way back
Where are “Pentecostals” mentioned in the Bible? Not there, as are some of their practices which make them not the church. How they came about - not by scripture which is not in favor with God.
This is all because that golden boy Paris just HAD to whisk away Helen to Troy 😔
Really appreciate you for doing this history lesson
What you left out is the apostolic oneness Pentecostals who still practice holiness and understand that Jesus is the first and last the Almighy. All things were created by him and for him and in him dwells the fullness of The Godhead.
Nick Needham says that Richard II (of England) married the sister of the king of Bohemia and so Czech students came to Oxford and took back Wycliffe's teachings.
This was interesting.
Mr Beet recomended this channel.
Years ago I looked up King James life and history, and found 10 pages of his life as a guy man and meney lovers, the Bible he put out had to be done over a fue times, but he had put in it,.when Christ was telling us about the last days,.that, two men will be in bed, one will be taken, and the other left,.?
FishermensCorner sent me here!
Greek is not a misnomer. The bottom line is that the correct full term of our designation is *the eastern Roman Orthodox Church. We are just as Roman as the Catholics, that's what you should have said, and Byzantine is just a modern later invented term for eastern Rome.
Pentecostal is a cult... just like Jehovah witness.... Mormon.... Catholic.... freewill Baptist...7 day Adventist....cult cult false teachings........ Jesus is the door....the only way to heaven
It doesn’t matter….what matters is that there are 6 billion lost souls on earth! Let’s unite to bring them to Jesus
