KingdomCraft: Why I am a Protestant

This guy took the Christian minecraft server meme to the extreme

Figured I’d comment this quote from 12:50
“There is one true church. The thing is, the boundaries of that church are not necessarily institutional, they are spiritual boundaries. And we have biblical reasons for believing that.”

I'M COPTIC AND NOT A LOT DO KNOW THAT WE EXIST. YOU GOT MY RESPECT. 🎉🎉🎉

[kriszenn]

yo im a non-denominational/baptist christian and i just wanna say: thank you for making these videos (KingdomCraft, The Basics, et al.) because I've been using them to help with my private bible studies. May God bless you for your efforts!

[forestria_gaming]

I'm Roman Catholic and I really like your videos as they are mostly unbiased and encompass (most) of the christian faith (all of them)

[mikulasvochozka]

Iam converted protestant raised in atheist family living in mostly catholiic country. I just found your channel and I love your content. You exactly said how I feel about my reasoning about becoming a protestant. Thank you and God bless my brother.
btw...thanks for mentioning Jan Hus...Iam from Czech Republic where Hus was from!

[gamingthisera]

This is exactly why I'm a protestant, people think we are limited to listen to only modern church music, haha

Hi, I am a practicing Catholic.

I watched and enjoyed this video greatly. Thanks for sharing your perspective in a charitable manner. We really need more of this online. In contrast, on YouTube we tend to have Christian apologists going at each other. For instance, I was watching Father Athanasius (Orthodox criticising Catholic), Trent Horn (Catholic criticising Orthodox and Protestant), and Mike Winger (vs Trent Horn i.e. Protestant attacking Catholic). Not sure how much of that is healthy debate.

One point on the "One True Church" issue though. The reason why Catholics and Orthodox tend to dig their heels in on "One True Church" is because we reject the idea of denominationalism. Apart from various theological disagreements, one big difference between Protestantism and the other two "parties" - for lack of a better word - is the idea of denominations.

The difference is a little difficult to explain outright, but I can give an analogy. Imagine that Churches were ice cream vans. In the Catholic/Orthodox perspective, our view is that the decoration of the vans, and the model of the vans themselves can change, but they all have to be selling the same flavour of ice-cream. Whereas our view of Protestantism/Reformed is that Protestants believe that different flavours - and sometimes multiple - of ice-cream can be sold in the van. And there should only be one flavour - the Apostolic flavour.

OH MY GOSH. I haven't even watched the video yet, but I just gotta say how GLAD I am to find another minecrafter christian. Like, seriously, this is SO EPIC. I didn't know this could excite me so much, but now i do i guess! xd

2:50 True, as a Lutheran, justification by faith alone is important. Yet it can be good and bad because some think that you don't need to repent (these works are important for your own benefit but not a way to ascend into heaven).

[Fisherstrong]

I love thinking about how oh sections of the church, a Roman Catholicism, eastern orthodoxy, Protestantism, and Baptist have worked for the benefit of society through gods providence. Each has their downfalls, and each has their strengths.
Through God’s grace, we will reconcile our differences and come back together to one true church

I watched the sped-up portion at 2x speed, it was an experience.

[RichMalishefski]

A good building tip that might help is to create a foundation around your church. Like maybe place a few blocks of polished diorite (or any block really) into the ground around the structure to make it seem more concrete👍

Thank you for recognizing the Coptic community. It's really nice even just hearing my community be mentioned.

[Notbraydendantin]

I think you can make an argument that historically Protestant countries have done better economically but when it comes to culture, the arts, and the like historically Catholic cultures take the cake and it isn’t really that close

[Fisherstrong]

Question, I always have for protestants is, the early “reformers“ believe in the one true apostolic, Catholic Church? to reform means, we already have the foundation, and it needs to be fixed, but what eventually happened wasn’t reformation at all it was revolution.

9:00 I was in the same boat as you
"To study history is to cease to be Protestant"

First of all, I think this channel is amazing. As a recently converted zoomer, we had to fight against the same difficulties. Sometimes, feeling lonely and a bit crazy is easy because every cultural message says believing in Christ is an anachronism, an extremist ideology that made the worst crimes, etc.
As a catholic, there are many things I would discuss but I think the most interesting one is the idea that only protestants can accept God's work in other Christian confessions. Saint Augustine said about that passage (Mark 37-41):
" For what they ought to have forbidden was what was outside their fellowship, so that they might bring him over to the unity of the Church, and not a thing like this, in which he was at one with them, that is to say, so far as he commended the name of their Master and Lord in the casting out of devils." Saint Augustine of Hippo, De consensu evangelistarum book 4, chapter 5.
If you have time to read, the whole chapter is very instructive. Also, it is notorious that Saint Augustine believed in the unity of the Church, and not the idea that there are many equally valid congregations.
This doctrine was made official by the Catholic Church in 1713. The papal bull "Unigenitus" condemned the following preposition (among others): "29. Outside of the Church, no grace is granted". So, we can see this idea has deep roots and it isn't some recent theological innovation.

I'm in a nondenominational, and I'm going to see if I can get them to add more traditional stuff like songs and imagery (they are more traditional than other nondenominational churches, but still). Especially when they pay off the loan for the last building expansion and look into what's next. Maybe we'll get a proper sanctuary.

Even in Minecraft, a well-built church is beautiful.
