In this episode, Dr. Jenkins discusses a major problem he discovered in Martin Luther, and how this goaded him on to search for something more stable and true (eventually, Orthodox Christianity).

Thank you, Dr. Jenkins. I relate to the church history thing.
Fascinating interview, it would be great to hear more. Thanks.
Peace but no assurance??? Hmmm. Been exploring Orthodoxy 7 years. I’m a tough sell.
All people who are seeking The Truth, will find Him (Our LORD JESUS CHRIST) in the Orthodoxe Church because It's The Church of Christ whom The Holy Spirit have built, through and with The Apostles.
Amen.
Glad to know someone whose ways I am walking by now. Thank you.
Lol its funny the good doctor read his way to Calvinism and then to Orthodox, I did the same but from Jehovah's witness to Orthodox. Its amazing how things change when you know church history!
May you be blessed Dr Jenkins. Many of us have been on this journey and come to Orthodoxy in faith. There is a liberation from Luther and his doctrines of Protestantism when one comes into unity with Christ at the heart of the Orthodox faith.
The more you study, the deeper you drill, the more likely you are to convert to Orthodoxy! 🌺☦️🌺
As a former Lutheran, this was one of the reasons I started investigating Orthodoxy.
Hallelujah brother.!!! Knowledge can be "dangerous".! Many have come to The Truth after getting to know the history of The Church. Welcome home…
My readings of Church history have shaken my blind allegiance to denominationalism. I worship Christ, adore his mother, and read scripture. I am at peace.
Protestants —muh sola scriptura muh sola fide—adjust Canon as needed .
The jews reject Macabees as scripture. That's why it's outside the canon. No protestant has to answer about unbiblical doctrine.
Prior Lutheran here. Thank you for your story!
My family and I converted in 2018.
How do you have peace without assurance? Im not opposed to the idea as i am slowly growing in my comfortability with the idea of "fellowship with mystery." Im just not sure what that looks like. I know that much of that has to do with my own history and rearing. Any thoughts in this direction?
Tnx Dr.God bless you.💒
Dr. Jenkins, thank you for sharing your journey. I grew up Catholic but attended a Lutheran ELCA college. Many good aspects to the Lutheran way but your video underscores the ultimately shaky foundation that Protestantism is erected upon.
Y’all need Christian identity. Once you know it’s your race that is of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob not the “Jews” of today. How people can read the gospel of John and not see how Christ rebukes them fully. He came only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Who were the Germanic Europeans who had migrated from Assyrian captivity from media.
Staw man arguments
He seems to be inserting a sense of fret, panic and improvisation into his debate with Eck. The issue with the Maccabees as part of the canon goes at least as far back as Cyril of Jerusalem, probably even further. And as far as prayers for the dead? Hebrews 9:27.
