Ante-Nicene Christianity
Registrace 31. 10. 2019
This channel is dedicated to exposing people to the one true (Ante-Nicene) Christianity. We rebuke the Roman Catholics and (un)Orthodox churches for their heresies about Mary, icon veneration, support of war, love of riches, divorce and remarriage, immodest clothing, teaching of evolution, and other damnable heresies. We submit ourselves entirely to the unanimous teachings of the bishops and apologists writing in the first 300 years of the church. Their testimony is truly authoritative and must be obeyed in order to escape the deceptions of the world.
If you'd like to have a voice conversation with us, email us so that we can set up a call on Discord or Whatsapp. We're eager to meet other believers and help them learn about the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.

What the Early Christians Believed about the Holy Kiss

What the Early Christians of the first three centuries believed about the Holy Kiss. It was also called the “Kiss of Peace,” the “Kiss of Love,” and the “Lord’s Kiss.” This gesture symbolized their affectionate love, peace with one another, and unity of faith through the union of their lips. Instituted by Christ Himself (hence, the “Lord’s Kiss”), this practice flourished and persisted for many...

Those who use the ad hominem “conspiracy theorists” always give themselves away as being part of an evil group with an agenda to conceal truth when they have no other means but to discredit those who have the courage to question a standard narrative.
David Bercot forgets that Christ himself was baptized. I'm shocked at how bad David's arguments are
Exactly, Christ was sinless. He showed that the Holy Spirit descends at baptism, and John the baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit from his mother's womb as a precursor, to show that babies can be filled with the Holy Spirit, in case anyone denied it.
The entire early church was non violent without exception.
I've been thinking about it for the last couple of days. And the sabbath doesn't matter what is Jesus. Mention in a revelation saying what AI have to give suck that are pregnant. And if it's on a sabbath, definitely into the mountains. You see the abomination of desolation stain where it stands
As am I. I have voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020. But in February 2021 I woke up to this deception. Praise God!
You are just like the Bible believers. You follow dead writings. Jesus alone is God's word. Other things were added by men.

35:47 Romans 13:1-2 (NIV) reads:1 "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves."In these verses, Paul emphasizes the importance of Christians submitting to earthly authorities because, ultimately, all authority is seen as being established by God. This passage has been interpreted as resisting governmental or ruling authorities is equated with resisting God's order, which brings judgment upon oneself.The term "governing authorities" in Greek, as mentioned before, is "ἐξουσίαις ὑπερεχούσαις" (exousiais hyperechousais), which clearly refers to earthly powers rather than some abstract or spiritual "higher power." This underlines the Christian duty to respect and obey civil authorities, as long as their laws do not conflict with God's commandments.
Deuteronomy 17:18-20 (NIV):18 "When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests. 19 It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees 20 and not consider himself better than his fellow Israelites and turn from the law to the right or to the left. Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel."This passage emphasizes that even the king (or a leader) must not be above the law. He is expected to know, follow, and be subject to the same law as the rest of the people, ensuring that he governs with justice and humility.Another passage that implies leaders should obey the law comes from Proverbs 16:12 (NIV):"It is an abomination for kings to do evil, for the throne is established by righteousness."This verse suggests that leaders must act righteously and within the bounds of moral and divine law. Doing evil or acting unjustly is condemned, indicating that rulers are accountable to a higher standard and must adhere to what is right.
2 Samuel 12:9-10 Proverbs 29:21 Samuel 15:23 Micah 3:9-12 These verses collectively show that leaders who fail to obey God's law can face both divine judgment, such as the loss of position and blessing, and natural consequences, such as unrest among the people and eventual downfall. The Bible makes it clear that leaders are held accountable to God's standards, and their disobedience brings about serious consequences.

I really agree with the sentiment, but for some reason I just can’t get over the fact that in this current age the line for what is considered “political” seems completely arbitrary. -There are hundreds of thousands of government jobs, not to mention industries reliant on government decisions and contracts. Where is their line of livelihood and politics? Even if you don’t have a “governing office” are you supposed to just try and not be influential in your workplace or something? - are we to exercise Christian stewardship over our homes as husbands and fathers, in our communities as good neighbors, friends, employees, employers, and then just stop at school board or township treasurer because those are “offices”? -even more arbitrary, is it ok to have a local position as a county clerk serving Christ but it’s suddenly bad to run at the state or federal level? I’m not trying to be sarcastic, I just don’t see how a certain political outlook is possible to avoid. Not because we have to be political but because the total state we live in today has politicized everything.
All of Christ for all of life, has God said and buy what standard fundamental questions Christian Should ask themselves upon reaching conclusions to these questions only then does it become clear

@ante-nicenechristianity people go to hell for judging like that. Delete your video to delete the comment and repent. 1. Romans 13:1-7 (ESV)Verse: "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment."Context: This passage encourages Christians to submit to governing authorities, which are seen as established by God. Some interpret this as an endorsement of participation in the political system and respect for laws and leaders. 2. 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (ESV)Verse: "First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way."Context: Paul urges Christians to pray for leaders and those in authority, which can imply a level of concern and engagement with the political process. 3. Jeremiah 29:7 (ESV)Verse: "But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare."Context: While this verse is from the Old Testament and addressed to the Israelites in Babylonian exile, it is sometimes applied to Christians today, encouraging them to seek the good of the society in which they live, which can include political involvement. 4. Proverbs 29:2 (ESV)Verse: "When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan."Context: This proverb highlights the impact of righteous or wicked rulers on the well-being of the people, suggesting that the involvement of righteous people in leadership roles is beneficial. 5. Matthew 5:13-16 (ESV)Verse: "You are the salt of the earth... You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden."Context: While this passage is more about the general influence of Christians in the world, it has been used to argue that Christians should engage in all areas of society, including politics, to be a positive influence. 6. Titus 3:1 (ESV)Verse: "Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work."Context: This verse encourages obedience to authorities and readiness for good works, which some interpret as participation in civic duties. 7. Micah 6:8 (ESV)Verse: "He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"Context: Though not directly about politics, this verse emphasizes doing justice and can be interpreted as a call for Christians to engage in justice, which can include political action. 8. Acts 5:29 (ESV)Verse: "But Peter and the apostles answered, 'We must obey God rather than men.'"Context: This verse emphasizes that obedience to God takes precedence over obedience to human authorities. It is sometimes used to argue for Christian involvement in politics, especially when the political system conflicts with God's commands. These verses are not explicit commands for political involvement but are often interpreted as supporting the idea that Christians should engage with the political sphere in some capacity, whether through prayer, advocacy, or participation in governance.

The early Christian writings do mention a lot about not worrying about who wins an election and has found themselves in power. They never say that a Christian should not be able to use their right as a citizen to vote in a democratic election. Especially when it means voting against a potential leader that despises Christians and Jesus and would therefore make life difficult if they were to get into power. If God had you born into a democratic society you should really take that as a hint that he would like you to vote for a pro-Christian candidate. Otherwise he might as well had just had you be born in Russia or China.
Honestly, I don't see the point of this video being from the perspective of early Christians. All the key ideas are already in the Gospels, and if you have eyes, you don't need any church to tell you what they are. The early Christians were influenced by the culture and historical context of their time. If the story of Jesus happened today, the early Christians would be completely different. Most importantly, if Jesus's kingdom is not of this world, why do you need a church of this world? Can't you just read the Gospels and interpret them for yourselves instead of relying on someone else? Why argue about which tradition reflects true Christianity? If it's in the Gospels, it's in the Gospels; if it's not, why would you blindly follow it at all, regardless of who came up with the idea? Any church is a form of politics; no exceptions. The letters of the apostles are pure politics. There is a huge difference between a teaching and the people who promote that teaching. Look at any good philosophical movement: their founders would hate what their "followers" did with their teaching. All promoters are opportunistic politicians in a way. The only church that matters is "not of this world."

Very interesting. New to your channel, first video I saw. I don't do too many videos but I do videos exposing The Seventh-Day Adventist Church in a few other things. And basically lean towards polycarp and polycrates as being closer to the original Faith then other Church fathers
A lot of Anabaptists tried to put me under my bondage and scoffed my baptism as an infant. That was when I realized I cannot fellowship with them.
ANY Christian should.
To those of you who disagree with the narrator, do an in-depth study on Constantine. He brought paganism into the church, changed the feasts and festivals [times and seasons] of the Lord, and merged politics with Christianity. He did this to accommodate the practices of his former god, Sol Invictus. The apostacy from the faith once for all delivered to the saints kicked into high gear with the reign of Constantine, 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12; Jude. To follow the way of Constantine is to deny Christ because Constaintine denied the teachings of Christ. He did not abide in the vine. Constantine offered the church the broad road and has led multitudes astray. That is the god worshipped by the majority in Christendom today under the facade of serving the LORD, the God of the Scriptures. Matthew 7:22-23, "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then I will profess to them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity 45:09 ."
Amen. Poltics are a game only fools play.

Nowadays those virgins that aren't incels are hard to find that match Clement's definition. Praise those few! Sadly, the world uses wicked marxist terms we are to reject like "asexual".
I wish the Anabaptists would watch this, along with the infant baptism video. I just sent to it to an Anabaptist but this brother said no. And I even sent him quotes from Tertullian and Origen but I guess he lacks of love for truth... really sad when people are correct on most things but then refuse correction on things they are not correct on.
What books do you recommend I read if it’s the first time I start reading church fathers ? Thank you and God bless
Tertullian mentions all this in the context of virgins, and those virgins are a separate class of women, a church order. They're women consecrated to God. He has a different work "on the apparel of women" in which he doesn't mention veiling the face. the only case where he mentions veiling is concerning the head and the hair. Clement is specific that this is becoming of all women. But other than him, I'm not aware of any other that orders it explicitly. Early christian art would also suggest that this was not standard practice.
May you quote this please? I am convinced that back then all godly women were putting a covering on their face below the eyes (some also on the hair, some didn't, but both groups covered/veiled the face). As should all today in public. Being ignorant is one thing, but when you get revealed the truth, there is no excuse

I dont agree that we should be seperate from politics because Christianity is intrinsically political. We get in trouble with governments, have persecution, and become opposed for simply say the following "Christ is Lord" [Lord meaning Divine] and Ceaser is not. We as christians didnt budge on things such as men are men, and women are women, but now we are "Far-Right" as a result, even if we are not involved in politics. We just are in it, regardless if we like it or not. It doesn't follow that we say "Christ is King" and "Christ is the center of my life" EXCEPT politics. Christ cannot be centered there because we are 'not of this world' T_T That is a contradiction because that means that Christ is not center of everything, nor is he lord of everything. If a politician becomes a devout Christian, is he to "stay in his station" as it says in the new testament, or is he to abandon it and then allow the enemies of God to make laws over God's people? Christ as also stated that "All authority in Heaven and on EARTH has been given to me. Therefore go, and Disciple and Baptizing the NATIONS and teaching them [the nations] to obey what I have commanded. " The authority of earthly governments is under Christ's Sovereignty currently. Those governments can either submit or rebel to his authority. I do believe that early Christian Fathers couldn't reconcile at the time being directly being involved in government office because of the structure of the government itself [including the belief that Caesar was a god] Choosing to not voting for someone who will align with Biblical values more [not perfectly] is saying "I don't love my neighbor" because we don't care if laws that save lives, help the poor, and protect religious freedom. They can be hurt by the laws i refuse to oppose by voting, but at least i am unstained by politics. 🤔 Yeah, good luck with that.
I do believe that brother Nolan, considering the large political past for his young age, could easily deal with those books. As far as politics are concerned, they only bring DIVISION. Now, as does Christ, but a different one. A needed one, not a childish one. Politicis are like a chess game. Like one put it: clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right. We cannot play that game walking in the spirit.
We agree and I would add that a Republican form of government is inherently antichrist in that it rejects Monarchy thereby rejecting Jesus as King. Psalm 2:6
Amen. When Jesus comes back, He will establish a THEOcracy (as opposed to the man made "theocracies").
Politics is the Antichrist
Likely. From the prophecies from Daniel we can conclude that the Antichrist ain't gonna be a single person, but rather, the entire kingdom. "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy" Revelation 13:1 I don't think this to be a literal beast, rather all the rulers of this world. "Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings." Daniel 7:23-24
No the chruch fathers didnt perserve the apoostles' teachings, especially in the christology . with the violent revolutions those churches schisms..which bled over into the state.. not a model example of a christian nation either
Is there even such animal as a "Christian nation"?
@@AlphaStudios-lh1rz it depends on the nature of that nations founding since the Christian people are different. It comes with its own ethos
@@matrixlone aren't we as Christians an own culture?
Great video brother. Enjoyed it very much. Recently broke myself from the hypnosis of politics and has made my relationship with Christ all the more greater.
PRAISE GOD
Question 1: If you can recognise that some rulers are better than others then what is the problem with voting for the better one. Suppose for the sake of argument that 2 identical parties were running election, both have the same views except one. Party A wants to make a law that everyone must sacrifice their first child. Part B does not want that law. What would you do? Only pray? It is obvious that you MUST vote for party B. Voting for them is not an endorsement of every point in their campaign, why not vote for party B and then also pray that god softens their heart to the other matter of government too Quesiton 2: yes the faith was once delivered by the apostles, do you believe the church disappeared since then? Or do you think that the church kept going? Just asking what type of christian you are
Which ruler is good, other than God? God does put kings into office, and we do keep those laws that are not opposed by God's laws, but they aren't our masters (Matthew 6:24).
@AlphaStudios-lh1rz well answer my first question. Would you not vote for party B? It is absurd to believe that by voting for a party you endorse all it's positions. Would it be sinful to vote for party B in your opinion or not?
@@Μπρο I don't think you are going to hell for voting - no one said that - but it's useless. You are called to call people out of this system, the new world order, as some call it, but not be part of it.
Voters render unto Caesar that which is God's.
Yeah, pay your taxes, but do not become part of eartly governments.
@@AlphaStudios-lh1rz exactly, Ive heard so many try to connect voting to the paying of taxes and even saying that when Jesus said "Render unto Caesar" He was implicitly approving of Christians voting. This is a misconstruction of Scripture. We are commanded to pay taxes and voting has nothing to do with that. The mantra of "No taxation without representation " expresses an American value not a Christian one.
@@dudleyvandergriff8174 Correct, even though I would add that our authority aren't per se earthly goverments but "higher powers" (Romans 13:1). We are to obey the laws of the land but when they go against God's word - like putting a flag into the same place as God and His word - we must not obey. Therefore, we must make sure that we provide as much as help to the least of these as the Holy Spirit draws us to. Such would also be issue with the tithe (which was an OT thing). Under the NT we are to provide help to orphans and widows - and not just a bit, btu as much as we can - instead of giving to so called "churches". "So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:33 "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give." Matthew 10:8 We are not anarchists, but must render ourselves dead to this world. "Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God" Ephesians 2:19 "For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ" Philippians 3:20 This, also shows we must beware how to invest what we have. I used to be one of those Christians who loved to collect things for YEARS. I wish I had listened to the Holy Spirit way sooner. This money would have better off to build an orphanage than for worldly entertainment garbage.
How much is the CIA paying you? 😂😂😂😂
@Μπρο This is an apostolic command that existed over 1900 years before the CIA was created.
@@ante-nicenechristianity damn, I kinda trust the successors of the apostles more than you 😳
@Μπρο It was the successors of the Apostles that convinced me of this position, what...?
@ante-nicenechristianity the succession didn't stop friend, the church still exists and it doesn't agree with you, you may have been a little too much into politics and now you are taking another extreme as a reaction.
The prohibition on Christians entering politics in the Early Church makes perfect sense considering the Roman Empire was pagan. Part of the officials responsibility would be to uphold and even participate in paganism. This all changed when the Roman Empire and all the successor kingdoms became Christian. The real problem today is that secular democracy does not jive with Christianity. Christianity likes kings, because it provides clear moral responsibility. A king or lord gets great power, but they will be judged by God on how they used that power just like the parable of the talents. Democracy diffuses power and blura moral responsibility in the political space. The secularization prevents Christian politicians from doing what they should so to serve God.
Good point BUT are you premillenial, postmillenial or amillenial?
Do an in-depth study on Constantine. He brought paganism into the church, changed the feasts and festivals [times and seasons] of the Lord, and merged politics with Christianity. He did this to accommodate the practices of his former god, Sol Invictus. That is the god worshipped by the majority in Christendom today under the facade of serving the LORD, the God of the Scriptures. The apostacy from the faith once for all delivered to the saints kicked into high gear with the reign of Constantine.
@@55shellbell Correct. Plus, he rejected the deity of Christ, therefore he was no Christian.
I just believe that Christ is the only one that can save us from that type of stuff. No pass is gonna help anyone I’m sure it would just encourage him to do it more, but I sincerely hope things like abortion and alcoholism will disappear from this country.
They will as soon as Christ returns. It's not our mission to sanctify the world (1 John 2:17). I would like to but that would be a waste of time, if we talk Christ's world literally.
Even if Christians pass laws against abortion what would stop anyone from doing it in the shadows and this goes for anything else you can look at the prohibition era in the 30s alcohol was illegal. People were still pumping out moonshine and alcohol underground.
Correction. Even though I wouldn't say that booze was illegal, only illegal to SELL.
I myself have always held to this exact same view, not even because of the Church fathers but simply by virtue of my reading of the New Testament, yet people have always made fun of me because of it. Thank you so much for making this video, this really needed to be said, and it also helped strengthen my conclusion even more!
@legodavid9260 We should strive to have the same faith as the earliest Christians, and not believe novel teachings.
@@ante-nicenechristianityI absolutely agree. Personally I think the best way to judge Christian denominations is to look at how close they are to the Bible and the teachings of the early Church.
I don't understand what this channel is abt,i have read the bio but i don't understand what religion are u. What patriachate is ur perish?
We follow the authority of the Ante-Nicene Fathers whose teachings must be obeyed because their teaching lines back to Jesus and his apostles. They we’re the last real bishops or as you might say pastors.
