William Albrecht vs. Dr. Brown: The importance of the Early Church Fathers

Dr. Brown is unable to deal with the Early Church Fathers!

[swooshmil]

"...You may quote Church Father's left and right...."

"...1COR3..."
"...1COR3..."
"...1COR3..."
"...and every church father taught it!"
Flawless Victory 👍

The magnificent opening & closing of the video took longer than you needed to refute Dr. Brown. May all people come to the Apostolic Church. It is God’s true Church.

I wonder if he would have been so concerned about how these same people receive the glorified bodies if they didn't die before. Clearly even for him there must be at least a physical purification even for them. A spiritual purgation is just a no brainer

William I admire your knowledge of the early church and I heard you once say all of the early church kept Sunday as the day of worship but I feel like there’s conflicting quotes that show the churches in the east continued sabbath observance and polycarp kept Passover to celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord as taught to him by apostle John while the west kept Easter Sunday eventually the west won out but why didn’t everyone get the memo ?

“For although almost all churches throughout the world celebrate the sacred mysteries on the sabbath of every week, yet the Christians of Alexandria and at Rome, on account of some ancient tradition, have ceased to do this. The Egyptians in the neighborhood of Alexandria, and the inhabitants of Thebais, hold their religious assemblies on the sabbath, but do not participate of the mysteries in the manner usual among Christians in general (Socrates Scholasticus. Ecclesiastical History, Book V, Chapter XXII. Excerpted from Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Second Series,

Then later on it seems that some in the east kept both days while the west kept Sunday then eventually Sunday only won out once Constantine decreed it he didn’t invent it but he decreed it as obligatory for all Christians even though this was a practice that started in the west to honor the resurrection it wasn’t among all Christians at first. You mentioned polycarp but would he of kept the sabbath or Sunday ? Easter Sunday or the Passover ? Sincerely I just want to understand

Polycarp fought against Rome changing Passover to Easter
..."All these observed the fourteenth day of the passover according to the Gospel, deviating in no respect, but following the rule of faith. And I also, Polycrates, the least of you all, do according to the tradition of my relatives, some of whom I have closely followed. For seven of my relatives were bishops; and I am the eighth. And my relatives always observed the day when the people put away the leaven. I, therefore, brethren, who have lived sixty-five years in the Lord, and have met with the brethren throughout the world, and have gone through every Holy Scripture, am not affrighted by terrifying words. For those greater than I have said 'We ought to obey God rather than man....

Why did the church retain Pentecost a Jewish feast where the spirit came in acts 2 but let go of Passover when the east was keeping it to honor Christ ? There are many examples of either Constantine or some not all of the church father who made anti Jewish remarks and basically didn’t want anything in common with them Constantine is said to have said he didn’t want to depend on any Jewish calendar to calculate our paschal feast (Passover) Easter in other languages is the same word for Passover hence that’s the origin of it. Despite me sharing all of this I’m a former sabbatarian I’m now non denominational but open to where over the Lord calls me I just decided the sabbath was never commanded in the NT for all of believers based off acts 15 while also realizing as Jews the disciples continued to observe it in acts. What about Jewish believers can they still live as Jews or do they need to assimilate? I find it clear from acts 21 and 1 Corinthians 7:18 it’s clear Jews don’t have to let go of their heritage but neither should they impose the Torah on gentiles I came to the conclusion the sabbath isn’t meant for all peoples in all geographical locations because what about ppl in Alaska ? Extended hours of daylight and night and biblically speaking the sabbath is Friday sundown to Saturday sundown which is the 7th day so how can one in Alaska observe it ? However I definitely do see that the earliest Christians in the east had some reverence for the sabbath and Passover which became the quartodeciman controversy I just want to reconcile all of this information in light of everything I’m reading I’m still torn on the sabbath and why the west changed the day of Passover to Easter when polycarp said John taught him to keep the Passover and then it eventually was deemed by the Catholic Church as heresy so John taught heresy to his successor? I just think there’s a lot more to this.. I definitely do see that the Christians in the west didn’t have the same tradition you’re so knowledgeable about church history I’ve learned a ton so I wanted to know your take
