A few disclaimers:
1. While I tried to mention everything, what I focused most on was influenced by what I am (American Mainline Protestant) so I focus most on the history of Protestants and American Christians.
2. This is nowhere CLOSE to an adequate summary of Church history. This is meant to give people a starting place to begin learning more in a way that’s understandable to all.
3. It’s impossible to make this completely unbiased, so I understand that the way I tell some of these narratives are disputable.
Also, thanks to Bill Wurtz’s famous “History of the entire world, I guess” for the inspiration.

That last sentence is very powerful. Looking at your presentation of church history I can't help but think that the true Christian response of fleeing liberal theology is quite cowardly. Though it is ultimately good for us, I do think we should be making more of an effort to reform the mainline church. And all of that starts today with God fearing men like us.
Repent and trust in Jesus you will be saved I love yall
Sounds like you should explore Catholicism and come home brother. As a baptist now going through RCIA after discerning, it’s the best decision my wife and I have ever made.
“Unless we retake the mainline church”
– you could make a denomination out of this.
"What are the Orthodox up to?"
PERSECUTED
So if gods all knowing, and not just a bad person in general, why would he make someone just to eternally suffer in hell? "well basically because"
Bro this is funny, entertaining, and informing. Love it ❤
God bless you zoomers
Bro I started dying when you said John Calvin was predestined to write a big book 💀 💀
“bro that’s heresy”
i thought this was just gonna be a silly little video about Christian history (not a Christian in the slightest but I do study religions in my free time because I find them interesting) and then you hit me w/ that homophobia at the end and what essentially sounds like a call to arms!! as a queer person i absolutely commend how effortlessly you slid in that attempt to radicalize your viewers further. it's also a great manipulation tactic to leave out so much of the atrocities christians committed!! idk what the algorithm thought when it recommended me this, but honestly it's gonna be a really useful teaching moment for the students I TA for since we're going over religious propaganda right now haha
1:15 phew, i thought i was gonna have to be transracial 🗿
The catholic church standing for thousands of years while protestants can't keep themselves together for even a century. lmao
Atheist now investigating Catholicism as of this month, interesting how this appears at this time.
im a copt and this is so informational!
Lowkeye sad M.L.K was named after a white guy. Feels like too good of a argument point
good ending note
I'm a Born Again Protestant that plans to convert to Orthodox Christianity soon. Glad to see a fellow Christian zoomer. Christ is king!
Can someone explain or me the non denominational vs Baptist? I live in rual nc and the non denominational at my school swear there not babtist
Bro, that's HERESY!
Lol that part always got me.
When Jesus comes back, I wonder how he would react on his follower, who spread his values, but the believers fought each other and made their own version of their religion.
Are churches coming back in eastern Europe now that the Soviets and communist leaders have been gone for a while?
Rise brothers and sisters, for you are men and men do not submit to the likes of any king or god! Rise from your submission and look to the sky as your right! We have defied the very words of these so-called holy books & nature! For we are the masters that now control them, we control our fate, not any higher being we are men! Fight for your freedom rather than being a sheep to a flock, become your own shepherd! Break the chains that bind you, Allah, Yahweh, and Budda, these are nothing to us, seek the path of self-enlightenment! For only you know who you truly are not some false prophet who claims to love you, no you love yourself and love your brothers and sisters of the same flesh!
catholics, mormans and jehovahs witnesses arent christains
Nice video, but I hoped you would insert something from Saint Agostine
Nice reference to the Assyrian church, and I understand why you didn’t go into detail about the more crazier gnostic sects but it’s sad you didn’t mention the adamities
I really like the video but as a Catholic I think you missed a very important part on indulgences. See what indulgences do is provide a way to reduce the amount of punishment one has to undergo for sins, however to receive an indulgence one has to do a very good specific work and prayers in proportion to the devotion with which those good works are performed or prayers recited. As the church describes it, "a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Christian who is duly disposed gains under certain prescribed conditions through the action of the Church which, as the minister of redemption, dispenses and applies with authority the treasury of the satisfactions of Christ and all of the saints". So with all that said, it is true that in the Late Middle Ages, indulgences were used to support charities for public goods including hospitals, and considering the time period and after the Black Death donations were seen as a huge work that would grant you and indulgence. However there were several individuals who would abuse this system through commercialization. All of this was recognized and condemned by the church, however the church wasn’t able to restrain these actions effectively, and unfortunately pushed some people over the edge which spawned the protestant revolution. We’re taught in school about how bad the Catholic Church was and how corrupt it was but that is far from the truth. Just like a lot of things in history and a lot of institutions (like our government), there will always be bad people to abuse the system for their own benefit and most of the times at the detriment of the institutions reputation and efficiency. The public school system essentially feed us a lot of propaganda against the church and never told the full and true story. I understand this was long but I hope it brings some better understanding and assurances when viewing the Catholic Church as a whole. I also understand that a lot of Protestants view us as evil and spawns of satan but that’s mostly because what has been fed to them growing up. The Catholic Church has been here the longest before all other denominations but we’re still all brothers and sisters of Christ just like the rest of you, you only have to accept us.
I liked the video, but downplaying the crusades was eh. The crusades also dealt the death blow to the Byzantines during the 4th crusade, and there were loads of massacres of Jews…. The people Christianity or originated from. The crusades were bad, and it doesn’t make you a bad Christian to admit this. It was how history was at the time.
As a dude who goes to a Methodist church, 14:44 is a bruh moment for me.
