Jubilee Year of Mercy and 2025 JUBILLEE

Why should today's Christians study the writings of the Christians from the Pre-Nicene period (AD 75-325)?

see also Pope Sylvester 314 335

writers who lived from about ad. 75 to

ad.

325 this 250-year period immediately

follows the time of the Apostles and

ends at the Council of NAA in ad.

325 the Council of NAA was the first

event that brought major changes to

Christianity it marked the beginning of

a union between church and state the

kingdom of God and the Roman Empire this

period perod before the Council of NAA

that is the pre nyine period was a time

when the Christian church was still

handing down the teachings and

traditions of the Apostles it was a time

when the church was not being influenced

by the surrounding government and

culture therefore the Christian writings

from this time are extremely valuable to

us today they give us a window into

primitive Christianity after the time of

the

Apostles many people are surprised when

they hear how many Christian writings

from the prey period have survived over

1,700 years and can be read today the

writings that have survived fill about

nine encyclopedia sized volumes these

have been translated and compiled into

what is called the ant nyine fathers

anten nyine simply means before the

Council of

NAA the full set of the anti- nine

fathers costs over $100 or you could

subscribe to this Channel for free

with this amount of material it may take

a person a few years to fully grasp what

Christianity was like during the first

250 years after the

apostles the goal of this channel the

post Apostolic church is to bring the

pre- nyine writings to life for another

generation for the rest of this video

let's go into more detail about the pren

nyine Christians and why it is valuable

to learn from them the pricing

Christians have many advantages over

Christian historians today first the

Prine writings are a primary source

which allows us to determine which

writings belong in the New Testament

Canon that is which works are believed

to be inspired by God during the Prine

period many books and letters were being

circulated among the Christians but

which ones were truly from God and which

ones were the work of men today's New

Testament Canon of 27 books was first

listed by athanasius

in ad.

367 how do we know which books were used

by the Christians and which ones were

not this can be learned from the prising

Christians who supported or rejected

certain writings for example uranius who

was a student of polycarp who was a

student of the Apostle John said in ad.

180 that there are exactly four

gospels therefore we know writings like

the Gospel of Thomas are not scripture

in in fact we can know that this gospel

was written by the gnostics Lord willing

videos will be posted later which will

address various early Christian writings

please subscribe so you do not miss them

second the pricing Christians have the

scriptures as the source of their

beliefs and practices the scriptures

were in the forms of gospels books and

letters which were handed down from the

apostles themselves in some cases the

prising Christians received God's

teaching from the apostles directly for

example Peter and Paul instructed

Clement of Rome today we can read

Clement's letter to the Corinthians

which we call First Clement the Apostle

John who' lived much longer than any of

the other Apostles had these three

pricing writers as his students Ignatius

papius and polycarp we can read

ignatius' seven letters to various

churches while he was on his way to die

in Rome

we can read polycarp's letter to the

Philippians as well as a detailed

account of his martyrdom written by the

Christians of Smyrna where he was a

bishop the fact that we can read the

very writings of those who saw the

apostles face to face should be an

incredible encouragement and excitement

for Christians

today though the rest of the prying

Christians did not see the apostles face

to face they still have advantages over

Christian historians today for example

example arenus was a student of polycarp

so there are only two degrees of

separation between arenus and the

Apostle John and there are many many

writings by ananus that have survived to

this day about the scriptures and

traditions that the apostles handed down

arenus wrote Suppose there arise a

dispute relative to some important

question among us should we not have

recourse to the most ancient churches

with which the apostles held constant

intercourse and learn from them what is

certain and clear in regard to the

present question for how should it be if

the apostles themselves had not left us

writings would it not be necessary in

that case to follow the course of the

tradition which they handed down to

those to whom they did commit the

churches today we are about 2,000 years

removed from the apostles the pricing

Christians on the other hand were

removed from the apostles 250 years at

the most to the preying Christians the

time of Christ and his Apostles was not

ancient history there was just 10

Generations between the apostles and the

last Prine writer eusebius lived at the

end of the Prine period for him to look

back on all the things that Jesus Christ

did would be like Americans looking back

on the events of the American

Revolutionary War just as there is a

wealth of information today on the

Revolutionary War the prenen Christians

had a enough historical information on

Jesus Christ and his

Apostles if you look in your Bible and

it has a page or two devoted to an

introduction to each book of the New

Testament how did the Bible Publishers

get this information especially the date

or the author the authors dates and

other interesting information about the

New Testament books are known to us

today because of the preying Christians

for example the author of the fourth

gospel does not identify himself how do

we know that the Apostle John wrote it

the only reason we know John wrote the

fourth gospel is because the pring

writers told us he wrote it another

example is the abrupt ending of the book

of Acts what happened to Paul after he

was under house arrest in Rome and when

he wrote his later letters such as

second Timothy the prising Christians

tell us what happened to him subscribe

so you don't miss any of this

fascinating information third the

prising Christians give us more details

about the Commandments instructions and

traditions the apostles taught Paul said

therefore Brothers stand firm and hold

to the Traditions you were taught either

by our message or by our letter Paul

says there was Authority from God in

what the apostles taught as well as what

they wrote down what if the apostles

gave Traditions from God that were not

written down in their letters how would

we know what those Traditions were we

would learn about them from the preising

Christians if the preing Christians go

into more detail about a tradition that

has been referred to in the scriptures

then we can know that this tradition was

given by the

apostles as previously stated the

prising Christians either knew the

apostles personally or at least were

separated from them by 250 years or 10

Generations since Christians today are

separated from the apostles by 1,900

plus years or 78 Generations it is hard

for us to Fathom how close these

Christian writers were to the apostles

perhaps the next couple quotes from

tulon about Paul's letters will help us

grasp the advantage the preising

Christians had tertullian wrote from

Carthage run over to the apostolic

churches in which the very Thrones of

the Apostles are still preeminent in

their places in which their own

authentic writings are read uttering the

voice and representing the face of each

of them severally or

individually AA is very near you in

which you find Corinth since you are not

far from Macedonia you have Philippi and

there too you have the Thessalonians

since you are able to cross to Asia you

get Ephesus since moreover you are close

upon Italy you have Rome from which

there comes even into our own hands the

very authority of the Apostles

themselves tertian also wrote If that is

from the beginning which has the

Apostles for its authors then it will

certainly be quite as evident that that

comes down from the apostles which has

been kept as a sec deposit in the

churches of the Apostles let us see what

milk the Corinthians drank from Paul to

what rule the Galatians were brought for

correction what the Philippians the

Thessalonians the Ephesians read what

utterance also the Romans give so very

near to the apostles to whom Peter and

Paul conjointly bequeath the gospel even

sealed it with their own blood we also

have John's Foster

churches today no original manuscripts

written by Paul John or any other New

Testament writer exist however trulan

says that if anyone wants to go to the

very churches to which Paul and John

wrote they can they can travel there and

read Paul's and John's writings for

themselves so even 150 years after the

apostles the pricing Christians were

still able to do

this win to to refers to John's Foster

churches he means the churches of first

second and third

John also you will notice in this quote

from tulan that he says both Peter and

Paul were in Rome Lord willing there

will be a video posted about what

happened to the apostles after acts so

please subscribe fourth the pring

Christians had a cultural advantage over

us in the west Americans have their way

of thinking which differs from the way

Mexicans or Canadians think let let

alone the way the Mediterranean world

thinks let alone how the Mediterranean

World thought 1,800 years ago not only

did the prying Christians live in the

same area of the world as Jesus Christ

and the apostles they also lived in the

same culture they understood the same

cultural

references experienced the same

persecution and chose the same life of

poverty at the same time the pring

Christians opposed the enemy religions

of their day

though the pricing Christians lived in a

completely different culture this does

not mean they dealt with different

social issues than the social issues of

today so many people today mistakenly

believe the social issues Christians

deal with today are nothing like the

social issues early Christianity had to

deal with this is not the case today's

social issues are not unique to us the

pricing Christians spoke on important

issues such as Christians in the

military involvement in politics

abortion

racism

homosexuality

materialism

pornography alcohol suicide capital

punishment atomic particles and even

Evolution the prising Christians

addressed all these

topics but not only did they address

social issues they also addressed

doctrinal issues such as the nature of

the Trinity the problem of evil in the

world

predestination gifts of the Spirit

Church

government Miracles who wrote

Hebrews Faith only Salvation And once

saved always saved the list of doctrinal

issues like these goes on and on

therefore when it comes to issues of

society or religion the pricing

Christians have no disadvantages over us

today they only had

advantages as Solomon said what has been

is what will be and what has been done

is what will be done there is nothing

new Under the Sun can one say about

anything look this is new it has already

existed in the ages before

us videos will be posted on these issues

in the future so please subscribe to

learn about what the prying Christians

believed about these things fifth the

pricing Christians had an idiomatic

advantage over us

that is an advantage in language the

Prine writers wrote and spoke the very

same language of the Apostles Co Greek

because of this they would have known

the true meanings of the words the

figures of speech and the meanings of

the symbolic images everything the

apostles wrote about some writers such

as tertullian wrote in Latin as well as

in Greek at times tulan had to bring

Concepts from the Greek into Latin that

may not have existed existed in Latin

before so even Latin during the pre

nyine period had a disadvantage to the

que Greek of the same period sixth the

Prine Christians had a theological

advantage today Christianity is split

into so many denominations that disagree

with each other on so many matters of

Doctrine during the pre nyine period

there was one universal church that was

completely and fully United in theology

Doctrine Christian Living and fellowship

the church was not United because of

some hierarchy of church government the

prising Christians lived before the

times of ecumenical councils before the

times of Episcopal structures with one

Bishop at the top before the times of

Presbyterian structures with their

Assemblies of

prors their Unity was based on the

scriptures and the Traditions handed

down to them by the apostles whether one

lived in modern day France like arenus

and laan

Carthage like tertullian and

cyprian Rome like Justin Martyr and

hippitus Alexandria like Clement and

origin Athens like

athenagoras Asia Minor like polycarp and

Methodius and molito and papius and

filon and

archelus or Antioch like ignacius and

theophilos all these writers were fully

United in their theology Doctrine

practice and fellowship ship during the

Prine period Christians were neither

Catholic nor Protestant in fact out of

the nine volumes of the compiled works

by the Prine Christians less than 5% of

their beliefs differed this 5% was due

to a couple of third Century schisms

from the church these were the monists

and the Novation these groups chose to

separate themselves from the rest of the

church which according to them was

becoming too La in its dealings with sin

Lord willing there will be future videos

on these groups yet during the first 250

years of the church after the time of

the Apostles 95% of the Christians were

fully United in every way ever since the

4th Century Christianity has never been

able to claim Unity of this kind we have

looked at seven major reasons why

Christians should study the Prine

Christian writings when Christians study

the pren nyine writings they should find

beliefs they agree with along with that

they will probably find things they

disagree with in short the writings of

the pricing Christians will challenge

you it is a good thing to have our

religious beliefs challenged as Paul

said test yourselves to see if you are

in the faith examine yourselves or do

you yourselves not recognize that Jesus

Christ is in you unless you fail the

test May the right writings of the

pricing Christians drive you to go

deeper into the scriptures so that like

the bereans you will see if what they

say is true honestly Christians should

not need the writings of the pre- nyine

Christians to help fine-tune their faith

if Christians would read the New

Testament and follow the teachings of

Jesus Christ very simply and very purely

they would learn God's truth the Prine

writings are not scripture and they

don't claim claim to be yet because of

all the advantages the preising

Christians have over Christians today

their writings comprise the greatest

biblical and historical commentary you

will ever read and that is why today's

Christians should study the preising
