Hi, David. I was wondering if you've ever heard of a story about dead man's lane in this area?

Very interesting video. Do you know why people up there call the area "Coloured Waters"?

Very good, so far. Also - did all angels, even the... less than sane ones... Miss that presence? Right over, their heads, in heaven? Before the civil war, there? Oh, and did Torquemada, too: thank you. Meantime... in 2 Samuel 12:15... I am sure, a baby... erm, could not have missed, some degree... Of Presence?

Excellent video, David.

John Ride is my 5th Great Grandfather. Do you know where I can find his diary entries and things like that? His son in law, Samuel West is also my 4th Great Grandfather, and I was wondering if there is a boom like that on him?

Some good, true words there, David.

A fortuitous discovery of your channel. It's a revelation that a Germanic language can sound so elegant & fluid. Beautifully recited!

No wonder it sounds so weird, they spelled all the words wrong.

Respect

Fantastic.... It would be helpful if you coud pronounce, slowly, those few letters that were dropped out yesteryear from the English writing; even better if could exemply using words containing those letters... Thank U ever so much.... GREAT VIDEO... Pls, more of thism

A very interesting reading, gives an illuminating rendition of old English pronunciation. E.g. the initial ge- of past participles sounding as ye-, which by the time of Chaucer had been reduced to just y- (gegone > ygone > gone). The c sounding as ch: ic = ich, etc. Thank you!

Thank you David for another informative video God bless.

Thank you David, such a lot of research really enjoyed it. God bless.

What a wonderful video, so interesting, thank you david

Thanks for posting this. Where did you find this Old English scripture at?

Yes some good principles that have some connection with the practices of the Early Church. But it is important to put the use of the term "Pastor" into a biblical context. In Eph 4 it is presented as one of five ministries: Apostles (possibly missionaries, ie "sent ones") prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. Paul says these are all necessary to produce maturity in the membersof the church. When matched up against this, the Baptist culture of one man band or Pastor and Elders, seems deficient. At a stretch, Pastors are usually styled as pastor-teachers, and there is a little (very little) textual evidence for that interpretation. But my experience has been of some good teachers who are rather poor pastors and some good pastors who are indifferent teachers, which suggests that they would do better to stay within their gifting, and seqarch carefully and prayerfully for those whom Jesus has give those other roles to. And then of course to do the same in search of evangelists, prophets and apostles. To do less is to deny those gifted by Jesus with those ministries, the opportuunity to serve, to the detriment of the church.

My uncle elwyn , lovely to see .

Excellent ❤️

loved watching this video, Im Blaenavon born and bred , unfortunately in 1980 ,we moved to Bargoed .I was only young then ,my dad, nan & gramps were still living up there . I miss Blaenavon terribly ,but now and again, I come up and stay for a couple of days and enjoy and remember the good times. unfortunately my Dad and Nan&Gramps have passed now. My late dad Mike Waite, his ashes are scattered down the mountain( a few hundred yards down from Foxhunter ) .me and my sister go there sometimes and sprinkle his favourite tipple Bells Whisky where his ashes were scattered and we have a laugh about the good times 😊

Amen. Very good video.

Very nice video thank you.

Margaret is so gifted in flower arrangement.

Good message, brother David. Our Lord loved to be around the Table with others, especially His disciples. Breaking bread with thanksgiving and passing the cup with shared covenantal assurance in Christ, the importance of Holy Communion in our worship of God cannot be overstated!

Thank you

Thank you. I am preparing a talk to give to our Villages of Mugginton Parish Local History Group about John Ride. He and his family members lived in the villages in this area of Derbyshire. I have already given a talk about his Primitive Methodist colleague Sarah Bembridge nee Kirkland, who also lived in this area.

I found the video very interesting.. thank you for sharing this history with us.. as i injoyed hiking this local area

Nice...thanks

My own church, Kirby le Soken Evangelical Church, was opened in 1927 as a Primitive Methodist Chapel. I have no idea what their status was at 1932.

I can't tell from that lovely brief sharing if you are pleased with the move - or sad? Maybe that's intentional?

Brilliant G 👏🏻

So interesting to hear old English spoken, thanks for the video.

Neat video!

Thank you David, I enjoyed the story especially being a Chapel girl myself. Berenice. PS could you do a talk on where Chapel as opposed to Church

My 5th Gr Grandparents lived in Blaenavon, Robert was a Blacksmith. Their 3 kids were baptized at St. Peters in 1830. Robert and Sophia moved to Brooklyn, NY in 1837 I wonder if my 5th Great Grandfather worked with your grandfather. His name was Robert Osborn. Do you know of a way to find any records of the forge?

Thank you David, how could I look at a Holly tree again and not think of the sufferings of Christ our Lord on the cross.

How sad and incomprehensible that Christendom appropriated the faith of pagans and the doctrines of demons when taking this damnable doctrine into the church. Nowhere is it found in the old testament, and every mention of it in the new testament is colored by this preconceived doctrine. To turn our glorious and merciful God into a fiend who finds pleasure in the eternal torture of His creations is unconscionable! Rather, believe the word of God which clearly states that "the soul that sinneth, it shall die." Christ made it clear that both body and soul shall be destroyed in the lake of fire. This is the second death, the anhillation of the soul. Fearful and terrible indeed, but just and righteous and merciful. Remember, trust Christ and you will be saved from the second death. God help us.

Thank you David, I lived in Tainant but had never heard of it . I enjoyed your documentary very much. Thanks again.God bless Berenice. PS, I attended Chapel-y - Groves when I moved to Afoneitha.❤️🙏

Ortdhodox kosovo serbia !!!!🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸👋kosovo serbia

Great story

Thanks for posting this

What about those kosovar albanian christians who were killed by serbs during the war, who's going to remember them? And who will search justice for them?

My 3x great grandfather Was a Primitive Methodist Minister

Being a protestant kosovar in Kosovo under serbian occupation was harder than you will imagine. Stay strong Kosovo, Jesus is here now. ✝️🇽🇰

Thank you David for such clarity. I have studied church history due to my interest in revival. You have filled me in on the Primitive Methodists andd I am deeply impressed with your material and your genuine love for those great men and women who encountered the power of God and impacted their own generation and influenced the course of Christian history beyond their own life-time. Thank you so much David!

Thank you

I find this a very confusing video, David. You say you are talking about legalism (excessively strict adherence to the text of legislation rather than respecting the legislative intent), but you seem really to be talking about authoritarianism (encouraging or enforcing strict adherence to authority at the expense of personal freedom). Much of your video is taken up with specific examples from the history of Primitive Methodism, only one of which is attributed to the Conference. The rest could easily be examples of local over-zealousness. You do not clearly state your argument, though the general statement is perhaps that the church should not have any position on any issue that is not clearly answered in the Bible. As someone who clearly has some roots within (Primitive) Methodism, I wonder how you square that with the Wesleyan Quadrilateral (scripture, tradition, reason and experience)? Wesley, of course, placed scripture as the primary source of authority. A discussion of the place of scripture in the modern, post-Methodist Union, Methodist Church of Great Britain can be found in chapter 4 of "A Lamp to my Feet and a Light for my Path), which was a report to the 1998 Conference - www.methodist.org.uk/downloads/conf-a-lamp-to-my-feet-1998.pdf . As I recall it, the limited amount of feedback from Circuits and Districts merely allowed a subsequent Conference to conclude that the first and last model of authority put forward in section 7.9 perhaps are not Methodist. The whole issue of Methodism and teetotalism has a complex history. You are clearly more steeped in Methodist history than I am, especially pre-Union history, but my understanding is that the Primitives never had an official policy of teetotalism. Jonathan Curtis' PhD thesis on Methodism and abstinence makes for interesting reading - it is available to download from ore.exeter.ac.uk/repository/handle/10871/25394 . On page 136, Curtis writes (in connection to the Primitive Methodist Church): "Through historical documentation, recorded speeches and teetotal society records, this chapter will attempt to show that some members of this community were fully committed to the total abstinence movement, and other parts of the Primitive Methodist Church maintained a distance from, and scepticism about the new initiative. This movement did fit with some pre-existing feelings amongst some members and the leadership, in contrast to the Bible Christians, who found themselves in the position of having new opinions proposed through the teetotal movement." The official view of the modern Methodist Church on alcohol is that members are encouraged to make a personal commitment to total abstinence or responsible consumption - www.methodist.org.uk/about-us/the-methodist-church/views-of-the-church/alcohol/ (quoting the 1987 Conference report on alcohol). My belief is that Christians have a calling to advocate for social justice and to engage with public issues. I do not, however, believe in authoritarianism. i also believe that law should rarely if ever be used to enforce a particular moral standpoint unless restrictions are necessary to uphold the rights and freedoms of others.
