@@hebrews4122 Galatians 3

​@@hebrews4122 I am Sorry, but that "Salvation is for Israelites alone, No heathen gentile can be saved" Hebrew Israelite Cult Guff is *Utter Abject Damnable Heresy* ! Christs *Earthly* Ministry was *only* for Israel, Yes, but His *Eternal* Ministry is for all Believers, Messianic Jew and Believing Gentile alike, which is why He chose and sent Saul (Saint Paul!) to bring Light to the Gentiles! God always planned to call in the Gentiles, even the Prophet Isaiah confirms that! Isaiah Chapter 42 Verse 6 "I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles" The Gentiles have been called in and Grafted on to the Vine. Unbelieving Israel has been Cut off for Rejecting the Son of God! the Gentiles have been grafted in in the Place of the Unbelievers! , Saul , who was taught by *Yeshua (Jesus) Himself* in the Three Days he was out of the body and in Heaven between the Damascene Encounter and the Arrival of Ananias, 2nd Corinthians Chapter 12 , Verse 2 "I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell; God knoweth;) " is *very* Clear on that in His Epistle to the Romans and in His Epistle to the Galatians. Romans Chapter 11 Verse 17 "And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree" , Galatians Chapter 3 Verse 14 "That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the Promise of the Spirit through faith". Very Clear indeed! Also, Remember, the King James (The "unto" is a clue as that being the Version You are using) was written by a *Gentile* Church, and Authorised for use *for* the Gentile Church! Foreward: "as that we have great hope that the Church of England shall reap good fruit thereby". Remember who is the most Likely Candidate for the Unknown Writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews according to the Oxford Concordance? Saint Luke! Lucas the Physician (Colossians Chapter 4 verse 14A: "Luke, the beloved physician" ) , a *Gentile* ! God's Family, Israel that *will be* is Messianic Jew and Believing Gentile Alike, Saul is very clear on that in Romans Chapter 10 verse 12 "For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him" You Teach *Against Scripture* , which is all given by God, 2nd Timothy Chapter 3 Verse 16: All Scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" You thus Teach *Heresy* ! You are a *False. Teacher* A "Super Apostle" of the kind Saul *utterly Condemns* in Second Corinthians Chapter 11 Verses 13 and 14 "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ, And no marvel, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." You are clearly a Member of an "Israelite only" Cult, which will lead you to the fires of Gehenna! (The Gospel according to Saint Matthew Chapter 15 Verse 14 "Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch" ) because they teach a False Christ of Contention! Note, I am a Gentile, but because I esteem You higher than you clearly esteem Me, I am using the Jewish Wording! So, *Repent* and Believe the Gospel! for You are under God's *Wrath* for *Besmirching* His name By Denying His calling in of the Gentiles as confirmed to faithful Abraham (Genesis Chapter 12 Verse 3: "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed" ) , and confirmed by Christ having at least *two* Gentiles, Rahab (See the Book of Joshua) and Ruth (See the Book of Ruth, a *massive* Messianic Prophecy in of itself!) , in His Bloodline though king David! The Gospel According to Saint Matthew Chapter 1 Verse 5 "And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;" I find You a Heretic, and a Judaizer, *Repent* before it is Too late! God does not need any of Us, let alone You, as He can raise Children from the Very Stones of the Ground, Saint John the Baptist, the Last and Greatest of the Old Testament Prophets told us that, The Gospel according to Saint Matthew Chapter 3 Verse 9 "And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham" , ! We, and that Includes *You* , need God, not the other way round! so Repent! Repent, and Believe the Gospel, then we can talk, otherwise, Kindly do not bother Me again, because I have no Time for False Shepherds who try to Harm and Dispirit the Sheep and Lambs of Christ! Now, Kindly go away and Stop trying to Hurt the Children of God with Your *Wicked Lies* and taking of Scripture out of Context to Promote Heresy and therefore committing of *Blasphemy* !

And yet he left heaven for us. That’s got to be the ultimate insult to Satan

E Shtn = The adversary. Satan is a developmental idea. Its no where in the Hebrew Bible.

Well said. To God all power glory and honor always

Hello I am Michael the Great Prince please read DANIEL 12:01 IAM THAT MICHAEL GOD BLESS US JESUS LOVES US PEACE

I was just talking to my kids about that. To illustrate it, I told them "there's a reason there's no video game of God vs. satan. Cause if it were realistic, it would just be "press this button to order the destruction of satan. Game over! You win!"

I’m a new christian and I’ve been struggling with this. What bible verses encourage rational exploration and reasonable examination? I’d really appreciate it if you could provide some examples, please :)

@@Danroes In Acts 17:10-12, Luke describes the Bereans examining the scriptures (Old Testament) to see if Paul and Barnabas were speaking truth. In 1 Peter 3:15, Peter encourages his readers to always be ready to give a reason for your hope in Christ. In Hebrews 11, the author show that the Christian faith is built on the faithfulness of God, and that faithfulness is shown throughout the Old Testament.

@@ericdressler16 thank you very much 🙏🏼

Sounds like a good Guy.. Who was it? 😀

@Arkav3x a disciple is a student, in this case it means to follow and be like Jesus. The guest pastor for instance asked "what does it mean to be a Christian? What is the definition? " there could be multiple answers to that question but there is one solid answer to what a disciple of Jesus is. Just because someone calls themselves a Christian doesn't mean they are living the way Jesus called us to live or even bother to try.

@@siww9525 I wish I could remember, it was years ago We have had so many great guest pastors, I need to start taking notes and writing their names

Listen to Andy Stanley's sermon series titled, "Christian: It's Not What You Think." So very good

@@KDfromMI that sounds interesting, thanks for the recommendation!

I think people misquote Mark 12:25 to substantiate their reasoning.

I hear a lot of kids being told that by their moms. "Grandma is an angel now, watching over us!"

@@DLeighWifey Angels are not even humans. They are more scarier lol

@@DLeighWifey Well it's nice for kids to hear, and when my grandfather died, I was absolutely devastated. He was deaf and had dementia, but he was always extremely sweet and understanding towards me during his last year. I was only 6 when he died, so my mom told me that he was an angel watching me, and that helped me get over it easier.

@@gianna526 I try to prioritize teaching my kids truth from scripture rather than assuming that human ideas are more comforting than God's. I don't mean that in a snarky way at all. I just hope that the current generation of Christians can become one which prizes the sufficiency of scripture for ALL of life, even teaching children to handle painful losses.

@@JamesRichardWiley _"Cherubs do not exist in the real world."_ The unseen world 'is' the real world. Turn on your radio. You've heard various cell phones go off. You are immersed in unseen phenomena. Whenever you look up at the night sky you're staring at eternity. What's on the other side of the 'edge' of space? The speed of light is the same for all observers. 'That' is a paradox. E = MC2 says as you approach the speed of light 'time' slows, 'mass' increases and 'length' shortens in the direction of travel. If you draw that out on a graph *there is no 'time' at the speed of light.* Wrap your mind around that. The Bible predicts the future. Some of those still future predictions are stated in the past tense. That's because God speaks to His people from outside of time. You have a video on your channel entitled "How The Bible Made Me An Atheist". We won't debate the issue of whether God exists. Cows and sheep can prove 100% that grass tastes good. I can prove equally well that grilled steak is delicious. I'm a Christian. We're different. We're done.

I came here to say this also!

@@ABRoberts so did I.

@Treasure Lesley it was once asked: " Is this a test?"

Today, right now, I understood what people mean when they said theres misuse. I don't even think I've ever used the misused version to encourage anybody or myself, but I've seen lots of videos on its misuse and was confused why the person explaining thought it was important. Now I get from your comment, it's temptation Vs hard times. 😅Doh!

Yep…I get the same thing…double🙄🙄

Yes or you only believe because you were told/your parents told you and grew up going to church...bruh if im still blindingly following after all these years something has to be wrong...

Maybe we should think critically about anyone telling us what the bible really says.

This confrontation is probably from people believing Progressive Christianity and seeing the need to tear down the authority of the church and the Bible and of Jesus our Lord.

@@bryanweed6840 God is destroying Christianity the fake church and doctrine of devils that goes with them (Revelation 12:12)

We are saved by Faith alone, however our works are the proof if our faith is genuine or not........

Good quote, I like it.

@@kennethcadwell2124 : Agreed. But the works must be works of faith. Too many think their works are works of faith, but they are not.

@@ApostleOfGod8862 exactly which is why I said the works we do determine if we are a true disciple or a false brethren........... For example one who continues deliberately and willfully sinning, yet claims Jesus........They are false brethren....... I can think of such a person that fits such a description that many were fooled to support.......... But besides that here are some works of the Faith: Baptism, Giving, Doing good for all people regardless of if they believe or not, and allowing people to freely choose how they want to live..........

My mom's charismatic side of the family was pretty abusive and would be completely awful to each other despite being outwardly filled with the HS, so according to her they're all faking it. I was never allowed to go to those types of churches as a kid but I've always been very curious about it and about how many are genuine vs performative.

@@tinabean713 : Most of it is fake now. By their FRUITS you shall know them. If they have not love, they have not God.

I'm glad you worked past that and don't fake it anymore. Well done. It is one of the gifts of the Spirit, and has to be given.

The example in Acts of the gift was one of being given the ability to spontaneously speak a language one had not learned in order to share the gospel with one whom did not understand the speaker's native language. The hearer could INTERPRET THE MESSAGE. The "tongues" used in churches today are NOT BIBLICAL and should be rebuked by the Blood of Jesus Christ. A leader who allows this babble to go on in the congregation should be disciplined if not outright REMOVED but people don't know the Word of God well enough to dispute the practice with any authority...even when they're in total disagreement. It's a satanic toehold in millions of churches today and blinds "Christians" to demonic strongholds in their own lives, leading to deep bondage, stealing peace and robbing them of life and the ability to spread the gospel! I HATE THAT PASTORS STAND AT PULPITS AND BABBLE. IT'S ABSOLUTELY DEMONIC AND ONE SHOULD RUN!

I think a lot of our misconceptions or assumptions come from art!

Hi Patricia, right on. Just liké thé depiction of Noah's ark that looks like a tub boat.

Yes, same here!

Tradition is a man-made thing. I don't like to call it powerful because tradition holds no real power or truth. Those are man-made ideas. Some are harmless, some are not. Stick to scripture and not tradition. This is mentioned in the New Testament, I can't remember where, but you can do a search and find it.

@@trevorjameson3213 point taken. I realize that nothing has any real power and that God is ultimately ALL powerful. What I was referring to is the powerful effect of tradition on the human psyche and how we interpret our world. We all believe one lie or the other based on tradition. When we finally find out the truth, we have to change the way we think. For instance all of the fables surrounding Santa, the “Easter bunny” etc.. If as children we are taught this foolishness, we believe it because…TRADITION…not fact or reality, or the TRUTH of scripture. We are all living in this broken sin-sick world wading through a thick swamp of lies. Only Christ is true. SOLI DEO GLORIA!

Except the "t" would be for "trans" not ✝️

What I originally was going to say is... there's nothing in the word //unicorn// that indicates that its referring to a horse like animal or equine (I think people who wanted to critique the Bible or have a fun "gotcha" moment used that verse without realizing nothing in it specifies a horse like creature).

You just gone keep blaspheming huh

@@hebrews4122 wat

Melissa, Been a disciple for 63 years and I believe I can always learn something new about God's Word. Bottom line: measure everything by the Scriptures and you are helping people to do that. Doing it with humor makes your podcasts very appealing. I have shared with family and friends. My husband also watches. Keep up the good work. Blessings!

What is the best piece of evidence?

@@joetaylor1976 archeology, scrolls. Before cell phones and cameras things were documented and verified by witnesses. False and myth tales were dismissed and documented as such.

Michelle Kampmeier, we’ll never know it all but I do get the embarrassment part

I had a neighbor as a kid that got mad at me for pronouncing “Job” wrong. I retorted that I’d never been to Sunday school. And then he used little comment to throw me under the bus and tell this Christian girl I didn’t go to church. The girl then proceeded to tell me that while she was flying around up in Heaven, she would laugh at me as she watched me burn. That was one of my first experiences with Christians. All started over something silly.

@@kaylynn4750 : Wow, no love there! They were being raised with the wrong values big time. Laughing as you watch someone burn? Ouch, that's horrible, like psychopath horrible.

I think people misquote Mark 12:25 to substantiate their reasoning.

Hey! I thought so too! 😄

I either work to remain silent (when at a funeral) or I try to tell the truth in the most encouraging way… because it is so encouraging! How boring to be an angel! They actually are amazed themselves at what God has done and is going to set us doing! (1 Peter 1:12) One day, we are going to rule and reign over them. Of course Satan would take that little tidbit and corrupt it!

Yes ...many "new agers" are guided by inner thoughts/voices that later they learned were unclean spirits. So, those kind can lead a person astray.

Even in Ezekiel, the still small voice was external…Ezekiel stood at the moth of the cave to hear it better since it wasn’t in his head. Still, Jesus said the Spirit will remind us of what we’ve learned. While God might not be talking to us directly without the Word, I don’t think it’s unbiblical to say that he pulls things up from our memory of the Bible and it “translates” to feeling like he’s speaking

We have the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues and the interpretation of tongues. Jesus will also speak to anyone in prayer. So it is much more than a still small voice for those who pray sincerely. But the issue is not the voice, it's that some people are not able to discern spirits. If you can hear Gods voice you will also hear other spirits and you need discernment to know the difference.

@@JessicaTayB VERY hyper charismatic. Very "word of faith" and prophetic word driven.

@@JessicaTayB The Spirit of the Living God who created the whole universe with his Word comes to dwell in YOUR Body and you expect him to stay silent? Funny thing is, if you expect him to stay silent, he loves you enough to stay silent.

Melissa, take care of your family Before your videos

I never thought of that, but is reasonable that they imagined seeing Him after they reveal that He looked like a known painting. Very good insight.

@@michaelmoerbe8540 all painting and images of Christ since the Renaissance are the I'm age of the beast - it's only one people on the planet with WOOL textured hair - the Messiah is black - if that vexes you - your a racist and yo zza is goin to the lake of fire (Revelation 1:14-15 kjv) hair like WOOL so dark he looks like he was burned in a furnace

Wow!!! They saw a made up “White Man” from a fake painting…”Amazing”🤔

Kevin, exactly!

Whenever somebody says they had a vision of Jesus, Heaven, or Hell. The way to disprove them is simply....... Go to God's Word and read the descriptions within. If it matches than they could be genuine, but if it doesn't then it was a false vision.......

exactly, he knew the rule and didn't stop her

Where does it say he let him in?

@@nazinas21 it doesn’t. SMH.

Amen!! Soli Deo Gloria❤️✝️❤️

Those 3 are good however they still have issues of their own they need to deal with........... As when it comes to scripture they do some good teachings on it at times......... But other times they teach that the power of the Holy Spirit (the spiritual gifts) don't exist anymore. I know first hand that is not true.......... And I am not talking about the false tongues of the Charismatic churches......... Another issue I have with some of these people. Is they know the scriptures yet it didn't stop them from supporting a habitual sinner. Which God's Word in Timothy says not to do..........

Sorry, but Justin Peters believes that God doesn't speak to people. So He spoke to all those people throughout the entire Bible, but after pouring out the Holy Spirit to the Body of Christ He just stopped communicating. Yep, sure buddy. It's not even common sense to think that. I've heard from God myself ever since I was baptized in the Holy Spirit, AND I can think back to before that supernatural baptism and spot times He spoke to me before I was ever born again in the Spirit. So in this regard Justin Peters operates in egregious pride. Pray for him, but don't believe him.

I’m sorry! John MacArthur is a Calvinist. You need to be a Christian to get into heaven.

Lies

Eww, she sniffed yalls hands. That's super weird.

Weird

I could be wrong, but I think the "deadly sins" are so called because most all other individual sins can be traced back to those 7 "umbrella" sins. Lying is an individual sin, but people lie for a reason - pride or envy or laziness or greed, etc. Adultery is a sin, but it can usually be traced back to lust and envy, etc. Stealing falls under the umbrellas of envy and greed, etc. And so on and so forth. Again, I could be way off base here, but I've understood the 7 Deadly Sins to be the general attitudes of the heart that give rise to all other sinful acts - thus, they are "deadly" for our faithfulness and the Church as a whole.

What does any of that have to do with you heathen Bill? am I missing something

@@hebrews4122 ummmm, okay....? just refuting another common misconception...
