Episcopalians honor Martin Luther King as a saint and martyr, speaker objects

What the video says

The speaker criticizes the Episcopalian Church for listing Martin Luther King as a saint and martyr on its liturgical calendar, calling King anti-trinitarian, an adulterer, a plagiarist, and tied to Freemasons. He points to the National Cathedral with Darth Vader carvings among the gargoyles, a bookstore selling liberal and one-world religion material, and entrance fees as signs of corruption.

He tells Protestants who claim they also have sacraments, tradition, and liturgy that they do not, and calls it political subversion rather than the same faith.

Key moments

  1. The speaker says the Episcopalian Church honors Martin Luther King as a saint and martyr on its liturgical calendar, despite calling him anti-trinitarian, an adulterer, a plagiarist, and tied to the Freemasons.
  2. He claims Rockefeller planted the social gospel for political control.
  3. He notes the second-largest cathedral in America, the seat of their bishop, has Darth Vader heads carved among the gargoyles.
  4. He says their bookstore pushes liberal material, even one world religion, and they charge visitors to enter and view the church.
  5. To Protestants who say they also have the sacraments, tradition, and liturgy, he answers no, saying it is not the same doctrinal faith but a political subversion.
  6. He tells the listener they know deep down there is a truth and to follow it, ending with 'Lord have mercy on us all.'

The speaker criticizes the Episcopal Church for including Martin Luther King on its liturgical calendar as a saint and martyr. He argues this is unacceptable and calls King anti-trinitarian, an adulterer, a plagiarist, and tied to the Freemasons. He asks how anyone can accept this, and how anyone can accept female bishops, comparing Episcopalians to Anglican sedevacantists.

He adds that many politicians identify with this church and says it is pride and delusion rather than Christianity.

    And you have a Talmudic Rabbi who is prominent in the Talmud as one of your canonized saints. Rabbi Gamliel Pray for Us.

    • opinion#667

      You mean Gamaliel the teacher of Paul, that defended Peter and the apostles in Acts?

    • opinion#668

      Yes bless his memory. But he was never a Christian. He laid the foundation for Rabbinic Judaism and is a prominent figure in the Talmud.

    • opinion#669

      He never worshipped the son. He wasnt a Christian, there is an unverified rumor he had a secret baptism by Peter but there is no historical record or evidence for it. If that was the case he wouldnt be renowned as a Sage of the Talmud.

    As an Episcopalian, MLK Jr is considered a Saint but this does not accurately reflect all of Episcopalianism and most certainly not Anglicanism as a whole. Look at Diocese of Central Florida. Some of this is slander

    • opinion#670

      Did you just admit he's a saint? Bro what are you doing? Drop the larp

    • opinion#671

      He isn't a saint, this is blatantly false. Having a feast day doesn't make you a saint, merely a person to be remembered. If we are so evil why do we have the most education money and IQ of any Denomination in America?

    • opinion#672

      Zero actual rebuttal, for there is none that may stand against the Lord's logic.

    • opinion#673

      Yea MLK Jr the renowned genius who thought the Immaculate Conception was symbolic and not literal.

    • opinion#674

      Once more no rebuttal to IQ education income, but also yes the man had severe flaws that weren't well known at the time, his feast day as a result is scantly celebrated

    • opinion#675

      So then your Church is not even Catholic. Good to know. If the Anglican Church doesnt fail because of A, it will fail because of B.

    • opinion#676

      Just stop being a degenerate schismatic and come home....☦️

    • opinion#677

      We as Anglicans can recognize there can be errors present, canonization of saints is not infallible and subject to error. Not everyone is forced to venerate him.

    Would love to see your Orthodox refutation of 7th Day Adventism. I have someone close to me who is SDA and would probably benefit from a video like that.

    • opinion#678

      As someone who grew up SDA and is now an EO inquirer, all you have to do is point out how cult like it is, they literally base everything around Ellen G white. Even as a kid I was uncomfortable with how much they cited her, to the point it felt like they worshipped her. They hate the apostolic churches, so much so that I remember them telling me the "Sunday people" will persecute us in the end times. They hold to many Jewish practices. I don't quite remember their theology but I do know they hold the same view other Protestants hold that the Eucharist and baptism are symbolic, to the point I remember seeing people get baptized more than once, in one year 😭. They also think we are idolaters and worship the Theotokos and pray to dead people (the saints). I left that church a long long time ago, not ever knowing truth, not ever knowing Christ until I came to the Orthodox Church.

      Would love to move into the DMs and hear more about your journey. I'm sure the switch was very difficult so I want to see how it was for you so I can navigate discussing it with my friend gently. Don't want to make people feel judged or stupid. Lmk

  • opinion#663

    Over time I'm realizing that Protestantism has a purpose. It is meant to sift through alleged Christians and find who is truly a Christ-follower, those who has a desire to return to the holy traditions and the one true Church. I love Protestants for their enthusiasm for Christ... and I also pray that they will find an intrigue and unshakeable desire for something more, something higher, as I have.

  • opinion#661

    As an Episcopalian he should not be a saint. The Episcopal Church's fall from grace is second to none but with this generation it will become what it once was at the founding of our nation. It is quite dumb to "canonize" someone who denies the trinity and the virgin birth. Might as well make Arius a saint at that point. It was probably done as a social justice move which would make sense being that it's the Episcopal church of the 21st century

  • opinion#662

    As a Catholic inquirer (I'd be a candidate by now but my protestant baptism wasn't valid form), here's my take on high church protestants. I don't care at all about the 'mainline'. RZ can cope all he wants. The LCMS is the only denomination with any real merit and they're in shambles. They're all over the place with lax liturgy and catechesis and their governance structure is only episcopal in theory and ruled by lay people in reality.
