The Eucharist. Catholics believe in the Doctrine of Real Presence, that the bread and the wine are truly the body and blood of Christ. The pop has released a public statement, determining that a Protestant may only partake in Catholic Communion in a life-or-death situation.. Not really a question, but more of a comment. Ive got a good friend whos a ROCOR priest. Are you allowed to carry food into indira gandhi stadium? And so that would be another way to fairly compare Protestantism because its a passive term that collectivizes numerous individual groups that nonetheless try to follow the same authority, and to do a fair comparison, you do likewise where you collectivize the churches that also claim to follow the same-. Unity here. Mother Church never ceases to pray, hope and work that this may come about. But I think the goal here is, and what I always say when I do debates or when I do public dialogues is I never see them as I mean, theyre not going to bring definitive resolution to questions, but my goal in doing them is to point out resources and perspectives so that people can go and continue the investigation. The Religious Society of Friends, known as Quakers, do not practice communion because they believe all life is a sacrament. During this time, Protestantism was separate from Catholicism because it embraced autonomy and individual interpretation. This happens among Catholics as well. The Anglican divines would be very much opposed to this, to sort of the Bapticostal, we call it sometimes, the non-denominational type of Christianity. Heres the Answer. Ill say one more thing and-. The scriptures are the only infallible standard on paper of what we have. So my point is, were looking at our infallible structures and theres no internal consistency. 2. We also do have a strong understanding of authority, that authority is a major part of the magisterial reformation. If you dont believe it, that makes it essential to you to not have, crispy toast eternally or whatnot, how you want to phrase it. That is why Catholics say Protestants really do believe in the real presence of Jesus in Eucharist. And now were here where Trent Horn will to start with present his case summarily and then individually, myself and Father James will give our own objections. I am trying to be gentle when I say that. I think those are supposed to be uppercase, lowercase, ultimately. Why are there so many controversies regarding the Lord's Supper? No, no, I agree with Chalcedon. We believe that Baptism in the Protestant Churches gives exactly the same thing Baptism in the Catholic Church gives the "state of grace": divine life and the divine gifts of faith, hope, and love. I guess those are the two common arguments with Clement either. Transubstantiation is the change of the substance of bread and wine to that of the body and blood of Christ at the time of consecration in mass by a priest. I just dont know how legitimate it is to say, Well, we should Because I think even in your video, Father, when I brought up the example of Craig, you basically said, Well, hes not a Protestant, hes Baptist, and Im sure Craig would hardly disagree with that assessment. Some critics have pointed out that despite claiming to have the Bible as the only source of authority, most non-denominational churches bring similar biases to their reading of Scripture. Lets say theyre credo versus pedobaptist. Rather what I said, Ill recall in the video, I said that because Protestants cannot agree on essential doctrine, they lack I say its like a serious or fatal piece of evidence against them having an adequate authority structure. The biggest differences between those groups tend to relate to ecclesiology, and in particular, the role of patriarchs and the role of the Bishop of Rome. I said, What about someone like William Lane Craig? So, the distinction between regeneration and election, so there are people who are genuinely regenerate who are not necessarily elect. What we understand humanly by translating our faith into human words can be misleading. So theres at least this on paper that is infallible, whereas you would say, Well, even when practically it doesnt work out, the papacy, at least on paper, it works out to where even if no ones believing it, you have to at least believe this thing. I go, Well, I already have that as a process. So I dont see it as biblical. Would you subscribe to the traditional articulation of Calvinism with TULIP?

It is breakfast time, but that doesnt stop me from getting a sausage roll and a can of Red Bull for breakfast every now and then. We are one! Okay. Well, Protestants believe this, but this Protestant believes it. That sounds like a very tautological definition, is so Protestantism is those groups which affirm being Protestant. Yeah, no problem. Its called Keys Over the Christian World. So to turn that against Christians to say, well, Christians disagree on essential doctrine. Thats funny. Well do super chat. Therefore, any baptized Christian who has not rejected the grace of Baptism by doing something so evil it is called "deadly" or "mortal sin" (1John 5:16-17) is permitted by Catholic doctrine to receive Communion. Whereas Horn, you appear to have a bit wider and a bit looser of a definition of essential where in your video, particularly in, for example, I believe, I want to say, well, pretty much almost all your points where in I think its baptism or eternal security. Christians can read it. This may trigger some warning "ping" of conflict deep within them, but it is not certain they will notice it. Is Communion Catholic or . I just realized something. You could always find a bishop or clergy, right, who does teach in variance, but when you have the ordinary and universal magisterium, you do have continuity of time. The only argument that people were making that even had any sort of semblance of validity for me was that it was at least practical. Yeah. How Do Protestants and Catholics Differ on Communion? Dade Group LLC also participates in affiliate programs with Bluehost, Clickbank, CJ, ShareASale, and other sites. Well, right, yeah. The feelings and sentiments surrounding Sainthood within Protestantism include: While Catholics utilize patron Saints and hold them to a divine-esteem, this was one of the original and most-divisive controversies between Catholicism and Protestantism. So, I think one of the issues I have with the sort of theology of the perspicuity of scripture is that it tends to be almost a wax nose that you can qualify to mean a positively or negatively how you want. Yeah. Of course, there are significant disagreements about the mode and timing of baptism - but almost all agree that baptism, however it is understood, must come first. Public binding revelation after the times of the apostles and perhaps it came into new documents that were then call scripture, I would at minimum give them a very weird look and also be very concerned depending on what is taught in those things. You collectivize the churches that also claim to follow the same authority of at least the first millennium church, if not the first half millennium of the church, sacred tradition, magisterium, and scripture altogether. It is not his literal flesh nor his blood because he was standing right there in front of the disciples. So, take a listen and yeah, thank you guys so much.

Luther would vehemently be opposed to that. Trent Horn, give us your case, debunk Protestantism. Some churches have communion every week, while others only have it once a month. That was me, sorry. No, because my position is not that through the magisterium, every single teaching is essential or that every single question is answered. And thats an interesting one. And I think it should be binding. And so to deny that would be a moral teaching that would put one in mortal sin. Hey, this is awesome stuff. And I think, again, given the conversations, weve realized that there have been some philosophical differences and it can be rectified a bit and all that sort of stuff, but we have to come to an agreement upon the Fourth Ecumenical Council, I think ultimately. I cant remember his name right now, but just one example of the catechism. Yeah. And I was a bit as well, but I was particularly focused on the logic and the categories used in Trents argument, and this is probably, if not the main argument, at least one of two main arguments. Okay. We good? This is what led to their overly harsh doctrine of original sin what Calvinists call total depravity., The Catholic Faith holds that the baptized no longer have any original sin. Or can you become a pastor on your own initiative? Can a Protestant take Catholic Communion? Let me say that so you pointed to the London Baptist Confession and the Westminster Confession. So, why can I not as a Protestant latch onto the material sufficiency part that already is acceptable within the Roman Catholic tradition? So theres that first part. But even if you collapsed the two and three, I still think theyre pretty similar. And one refrain that Ive heard from those who defend sola scriptura, and I would say this is a corollary that its another doctrine that follows from sola scriptura, would be what is called the perspicuity of scripture. "For the persecutors we are not divided: we are not Lutherans, Orthodox, Evangelicals, Catholics. Things like the canon or the closing of scripture and all that sort of stuff, yeah. Is Communion a Catholic thing? The reason I celebrate Lent and encourage others to consider it, is because it a focused time for training, for stretching ourselves to go the long distance with Jesus..

To represent the mutual communion of believers with each other. (Also see Catholic vs. Non-Denominational: Whats the Difference?). We do not re-baptize Protestants who become Catholics. Im trying to get questions from a variety of people. Go ahead. And barely a week goes by when I hear them discuss whether other Catholics they know or Catholics in general about serious disagreements on issues that the magisterium may or may not have actually defined on. I think you would almost essentially affirm my thesis, but just say its not a problem because as long as we are united in the mechanisms of sola scriptura and sola fide, theres going to be disagreement, but we wouldnt expect there to be agreement in this loose confederacy of different churches and things like that. How should I do this? But you have people using Sola Scriptura and they arrive at biblical Unitarianism as well. He was a pastor for 10 years. Otherwise it may be preserved in a non infallible way through authoritative teaching. The practice of communion (also called the Lords Supper) is such an integral part of many churches that it can be difficult for some Christians to understand the rationale of certain traditions for not practicing it.

Have you read a Case for Covenantal Infant Baptism by Strawbridge? Interesting. Yeah. I just didnt mean to put off any because I knew you wanted to go to questions and stuff like that. Which is another point where Ive seen, I think this is serious disagreement about which beliefs must one hold to be a Christian and what beliefs would disqualify someone from being a Christian? I actually have a kind of close Paul to your definition that a Protestant is someone who affirms sola scriptura, some version of sola fide and is Christian, because I do believe its possible for someone to be a mere Christian theist who is agnostic or doesnt hold in the New Testament cannon, or it doesnt believe in sola scriptura and they could have they And I would think that theyre Christian if they are To me a Christian is just someone who is validly baptized with a valid Trinitarian baptism. And I think thats a much more modest claim to make just that there its greater or more workable or reaches a sufficient level versus others. In this episode Trent sits down with an Anglican priest and a Calvinist to discuss his thesis that Protestantisms use of sola scriptura cant unite believers around essential doctrines. This went really fast. Why should I care about your morality and all that stuff? Yeah. No! Throughout the centuries, Christians have disagreed on how metaphorical or literal these statements should be read. Okay, but then do I need the infallible interpreter for the infallible interpreter? That, to me, if we were really doing the comparison, those are the three methods to compare. The answer is: "more than likely not". This guy talked about referenced this. The question is when you apply sola scriptura, can you get to answer, okay, these doctrines are essential and these are not? So, people who come from the Restorationist Movement or from that sort of theology, especially the dispensationalist line and things like that, versus historic Protestants where I would at least put reform Baptists and Presbyterians more within that camp, historic Protestantism. That is why many who "convert" to Catholicism say they don't feel they have changed so much as entered into conscious realization of what they already knew. So, I want to try to deal with them more on that individual level, at the very least on a confessional level. Well, I think that scripture is what we mean by tradition because one view would be that And I understand this, the word tradition comes from the Latin word tradere, which comes from the Greek paradosis, which means that which is handed on. How big are the disagreements between Rome, between Orthodoxy, the sedevacantists, the Oriental Orthodox, if we want to include them, who supposedly follow otherwise the same method. What Is the Difference in Taking Communion in a Presbyterian. But when the wordless light of faith given in Baptism is translated into human thoughts and words, there can be differences in the human expression of the same truth that is in the hearts of all, and in the way people will be taught to live out the gift of divine life each receives at Baptism. To know God as he is, you have to be God. The non-denominational church tradition originates from the Stone Campbell Restoration Movement in the 19th century. Q, I presume for Trent, What is the strongest evidence of a universal papacy in the early fathers? And lets hopefully keep this brief. Oh, is this an ironic comment? Yep. So the most oxymoronic set of words you can come up with. But I think that dealing with the issues of confession by confession, or if you want to deal with the tangle mess of evangelicalism, you can deal with it on that level, but I would say as evangelicals, I think thats the better approach to critiquing Protestantism, if that makes sense. They lovingly believe in God the Father Almighty and in Christ, the Son of God and Savior. Excellent stuff. Why do Protestants not believe in the Eucharist? Why has the church disagreed so much about this particular issue? I mean, if Celsus doesnt mention the question of some kind of a magisterium with authority over churches, many critical Protestant historians will at least admit you have the papacy by the end of the second century and you have the monoepiscopate and you have a lot of these things in pretty set by the time of Origen. What is the ontologic? Because of this, some Quakers practice a partially silent service, which shares some similarities with the reflective aspects of communion in that congregants are introspective and attentive to the leading of God. The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? , Then theLordGod said, Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. The Salvation Army also considers communion to be a non-essential practice of the faith. One of them is the real presence of Jesus in Eucharist. Then I guess if my statement, if my thesis are defined this way, I understand this is not what either of you believe, but if it were defined this way, I think you might agree with it. And while Protestants may differ about secondary doctrines, scripture is clear. Right. Yeah. So like, its funny. So thats one issue I came with your video, your definition of a main issue. I dont see them as the same thing. For the 'deposit of faith,' or revealed truths, are one thing; the manner in which they are formulated is another" (Gaudium et spes, 62). But, yes. "Then we Catholics know that, in reality, you believe in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, because we know that is what the Bible actually says. Would it be fair to say that most of the Roman Catholic loyalty doesnt agree either in essential doctrines? (Technical point: in very rare circumstances and only with the Bishop's permission, a Protestant who believes the teachings and requests Communion can receive the Eucharist [ CCC 1401]. Billions of Christians celebrate Lent annually, sacrificing something precious to them in the name of Christ; however, not all Protestants do. Jesus tells the disciples that the bread they are eating is his body and drinking is his blood. Ah, but hes not a true Protestant. In Protestant families they may be taught other words that translate inadequately or even falsely this mystical knowledge that is theirs through the divine gift of faith. I did a whole video showing where Protestants disagree on really important matters of Christian doctrine, essential matters of Christian doctrine. Due to this, Protestantism branches off into many directions with numerous subsects, allowing each Christian to find the subsect that best suits their interpretation of matters such as Predestination. And thats where I really see the value of these sorts of discussions to see ideas clash, and then for people to continue their own work and researching, to see which of the ideas are most plausible to them. So, you wouldnt even say that Chalcedon should be binding? And so there is somewhat of a controversy in the historical record of whether his particular teachings about the nature of Christ constitute the later, fully fleshed out Nestorianism that bears his name. Another one may come up a bit later. Why do Catholics not drink wine during communion? Another 20, 30 minutes would be fine. That would be one that articulates that non regenerative in infant baptism view. Now he has the Witnesses of Yah whatever. Thats why I kind of avoid it. Im not going to shy away from them. And I agree with you wholeheartedly there, but I do think it needs to be made as a distinction from Protestantism. This is 100% symbolic from my Protestant (Baptist) Biblical understanding. #7 Do Protestants Take Communion? I do think, and I mentioned this, I had an interview with Austin Suggs from Gospel Simplicity earlier today. Nothing else matters. It is true that Catholic policiesadministrative rules that change according to time and placesometimes add restrictions. But its still really the same authority structure permeated over them, so I still think the umbrella criticism can be leveled at the disunity if its the same method thats being used. Many official policiespolicies made in officesappear acceptable within the isolated capsules of bureaucratic management. If you don't profess the Catholic faith, then it isn't appropriate to act as if you do.
