I have listened to the first half of this. It's really difficult to accept the rest of what he says when he seems to be citing Darwin as evidence to prove a materialist theory suggesting that the seen world is all that there is.
He also contrasts the entirety of Christian history through the lens of Roman Catholicism, which is an error. The Romans have been innovating for a thousand years. They do constantly contort to explain this, and their gyrations have created endless depth to the schism between the ancient churches. The protestants are no less guilty of innovation and contortion. They are daughters of their mother the Roman Church.
The ideas surrounding virginity are also related to deep points of theology, and these topics are not simple to discuss without resorting to out of context quotes and oversimplified arguments. I would have to listen to the rest of his videos to try and understand his perspective. He doesn't begin with his presuppositions or the framework he used to measure his outcomes.
First and foremost, antichrist has plenty of measurable definition in the New Testament. Those who deny they Jesus is The Christ, deny that he came in the flesh, those who deny that he is the son, and ultimately, those who separate Christ into a creature. The many other references my require careful consideration. The entire topic of marriage and virginity depends upon the totality of the New testament.
The essence of the Nicene Creed is aimed entirely at this goal. It makes positive assertions about The Holy Trinity and Jesus Christ establishing The Church. Dude never says it, but he seems to have the belief that the entire church became almost immediately apostate.
Rejecting James and Jude is an interesting choice as well. Luther hated James in particular. It contradicted his desired outcomes. This an continues the Lutheran tradition of every man being his own pope.
Church history rejects the papacy itself. Even the early Roman popes condemned the idea of the papacy,.calling that antichrist. If we consider this point to be given, then we find that being the Pope, of the Roman Church or even oneself, is an antichrist position.
TL;Dr the protestants have structured themselves in the image of the antichrist they hate in the Pope.
Pretty much all agreed, and I think S.I. would agree with many of your points.
Lol. He also expresses disgust that he refused to fornicate with women when he was in college.
