(Matthew 15:24) I am NOT sent but unto the Lost sheep of the house of ISRAEL Stop lying dude

@@stevenbackus3778 not sure what your reply has to do with the comment "Jesus gives eternallife", but here's my reply to your comment: Matthew 15:28, "28Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly." "Behold, the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world." - John the Baptizer. Since the Jews rejected Jesus as their Messiah, the gospel was give to the gentiles.

Yes but I always remember God knows what gonna happen so allows people to have free will even if it’s damming

Christianity is falling apart it's the same old song the Intentional twisting of John 3:16 and the words Greek n Gentile people are tired of the lies

@@stevenbackus3778 where was John 3:16 twisted in this sermon?

Through Josh Macdowell I got exposed to these truths lately I have been listening to a number of church history lectures from men like Dr James White and Bruce Gore and my confidence in the reliability and of the body of writings that are the scripture, the Word of God.

@@ThembaMaselane I've been working more on this presentation of the factual evidence for the Bible, please let me know what you think: Below are some of the many things that finally lead me to saving faith in the LORD, the fact that it's all true and has far surpassed the requirements of Historicity. With all of the evidence we now have there's simply no way I can logically doubt His Word and by extension the LORD Himself. These other books and writings from antiquity are held up as truth and in some cases factual history. These other books/poems and there evidence/sources: Second most common manuscript document Homer's Iliad meaning there are more copies of it than any other secular writing/document from antiquity of which only 643 exist dating from 13th century AD. Homer is believed to have wrote it in the 8th century BC. The Gallic Wars of Cesar in 1st century BC, there are only 10 manuscripts of that in existence dating over 1000 years after they were supposed to have been written. Herodotus wrote of history and is known as one of the first historians 5th century BC and only 8 manuscripts exist and they are from more than 1300 years after he wrote anything. History of the Peloponnesian War written by Thucydides. There are only 8 manuscripts that are from 1300 years after he supposedly wrote his account. Side notes on other religions: Book of Mormon and their various writings prior to the 1820-30's = 0 as in nothing has been found to support any of it except where it is clearly plagiarized from Scripture. Now let's look at Biblical proofs: We have a reliable collection of historical documents written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses. They report super natural events that took place in fulfilment of specific prophecies and claim that their writings are via divine inspiration, not from men alone. Jesus Christ healed the sick, blind, deaf, dumb and paralyzed, cast out demons, walked on water, fed thousands with little, and was resurrected all of which have eyewitness accounts. The feedings alone were witnessed by the thousands He fed on the two separate occasions that we are told of in the Gospels. John tells us that there were many more signs/miracles than what are recorded in the Gospels/Bible and that it would have filled the entire earth were they all to have been written down. There can be no doubt as to the accuracy of our current Bibles as it is proven via all the source fragments, scrolls, papyri, codex' and sources dating all the way back to before Christ around 700 BC for the OT and between 100 to 150 AD for the NT. We have more proof for God's Word than any other written word in history, it is by order of magnitudes more. The early Church Fathers prior to 325 AD: Those known as the Anti-Nicene Fathers writings contain over 32,000 quotes from the New Testament from which we could reconstruct the entire/complete NT from those alone. They also contain over 19,000+ quotes from the Gospels alone prior to 325 AD. The Bible is not just a book it is a collection of 66 Books all of which are linked together by One Divine Author. In this collection of Books there are over 40 authors but only one Devine Author who links them all together via the Holy Spirit. Those authors wrote down His inspired Word. The bulk of the New Testament was written over a period of around 50 years. It was in 49 AD to 53 AD when the Scripture writings of the New Testament are thought to have begun. With the last living Apostle John dying in 100 AD. Over a period of around 1500 years it was preserved and passed on: In 3 Languages On 3 Continents There are 66,360+ source documents that have been found for the entire Bible of which there are 24,360 and counting source documents for the New Testament alone. 5,839 in the original Greek, some 2 million pages 18,524 translations of that Greek into other languages Some of the oldest sources date to 125AD which is within decades of the completion of all the books that were canonized as the New Testament. The New Testament cannon, (Gospels of the Apostles, Epistles to the early Churches), was decided at the Synod of Carthage in 397 AD. (At that council they included some of the Apocryphal books but the early churches rejected them, a few saw some of the content in those books to be useful for historical reasons but never used them as doctrinal or held them in the same regard as Scripture) Those asking for "Scientific Proof" of the Bible are either ignorant or asking with evil intent. Scientific Method is basically: 1) Has to be observable. 2) Has to be measurable. 3) Has to be repeatable. Therefore no history can ever be proven via scientific method. You must use the historical method based on: Eyewitnesses accounts. Documents from that time or as close as possible. Make sure the story is corroborated by as many sources as possible. Look for anyone/anything that attempted to prove any of it false in that time period or as close to it as possible. Did anyone successfully prove any of it untrue, if they did why has no record of it been found? Mathew = Was written more to the Jewish audience and that's one of the reasons for the extensive genealogy of Christ. There are also more references to the Old Testament in his Gospel compared to the others. Mark = The shortest of the Gospels and is very direct or "Just the Facts" if you like. Luke = Historian A man of science, a physician, an educated and logical man who researched and gathered the accounts of eyewitnesses. He recorded the actual eyewitness accounts of our Lord and Savior, those who had heard Him speak and were present/saw the signs/miracles He performed, such as the Apostle Peter. He did this because the life of those eyewitnesses were coming to an end due to age, or Martyrdom, and he was inspired to write them down via the Holy Spirit before they could be lost or perverted by time. John = Evangelist John is organized around 7 specific events/signs/miracles all seen by eyewitnesses and corroborated by many. So he also provides proof of accuracy/truth. All of the Apostles were eyewitnesses of Jesus and/or of the resurrected Christ. Including Paul whom Jesus came to as he was on the road traveling to Damascus to persecute more Christians. This would have been the resurrected Christ or a form of Him from Heaven. There were at least 300 eyewitnesses still alive when Corinthians was written who could have disputed it but no one did. Mathias became the 12th Apostle after Judas hung himself so the argument of there not being 12 Apostles comes from ignorance or evil intent. Other cultures and non believer's historical documents show or corroborate many things that are in the Bible. Yet none of them prove any of it to be false yet they do strengthen it. All these sources allow us to be critical when it comes to the level of accuracy in our Bibles. The oldest manuscripts end The Gospel of Mark at chapter 16 verse 8. There is a lot of evidence that anything after Mark 16:8 was added later gathering parts from all the other Gospels and even Acts. 4th Century Church fathers Eusebius and Gerome both wrote that Mark ended at 16:8. Many, early Church Fathers, (after 325AD and beyond), knew these alternate endings existed and didn't use them. This is an error in the KJV, NKJV and the Book of Mormon, (unless it's been changed), which are based on more recent manuscripts that the older manuscripts disprove. Those translations have the added ending consisting of anything after Mark 16:8, (as well as other additions/differences). Newer translations may or may not include the additions but if they do they're bracketed or mentioned in the notes. The external evidence, (oldest sources), indicates that anything after 16:8 does not belong in the Gospel of Mark because those additions do not exist in the oldest sources. The internal evidence is that it is all borrowed from the other Gospel accounts and Acts. We don't know who these additions came from but we know where they got them: (below are not time stamps but Chapter and verses) .16:9 = is taken write out of Luke 8:1-3 .16:10 = John 20:18 .16:12 = Luke 24:13-32 .16:13 = Luke 24:14 .16:14 = Luke 24:36-38 .16:15 = Mathew 28:19 .16:16 = John 20:23 .16:17-18 = drawn from a lot of sources: Mathew 10, Mark 6, Luke 10, just a lot of stuff cobbled together. Acts 23-26 and Acts 28:3-6 Paul's encounter with the Asp/venomous snake. None of it after Mark 16:8 makes any sense and adds more than a little confusion with the discussion of signs/miracles and other such things. Why does Mark end the way he does? Look at the beginning of his Gospel and all throughout it reads like a highlight real of Christ's Deity and that He is in fact the very Son of God. Mark's last words were about fear, a Godly Fear of our Lord and the pure awe and wonderment of Him. No other book in history has the proof the Bible does, it is not even close. As I've shown because of the over abundance of source materials we can even be critical of what we have and know for certain that we have His Inspired Word. Word for Word and Optimal Translations prove just how accurate what we have is. Biblical Historian/Theologian AT. Robertson said we have a vast array of Biblical Manuscripts that allow us to reconstruct the Bible with more than a 99.9% degree of accuracy. With the number of archaeological excavations, (25,000+ and counting to date), it is only a matter of time until we see more ancient biblical texts and supporting secular evidence found. The Bible is the very Word of God, it is a collection of eyewitness accounts written by other inspired eyewitnesses. There's no longer any excuse for anyone to ignore that fact or to dispute it. The evidence simply does not support their arguments/views. Take care and God Bless...

@@ThembaMaselane I've also put together something on the Elect and our Lord's heavenly call/invitation. Thank you in advance if you take the time to read these comments as I very much value my brothers and sisters in Christ's opinions of my teachings. God Bless... From personal study, reading and listening to those much wiser than myself have come to the realization that neither Arminianism nor strict Calvinists are 100% correct. The Catholic, Mormon, Jehovah's Witnesses, Muslims and all the other religions are way out in left field. They either deny Scripture or twist It removing from or adding to It and deny His Word's authority or even Christ Himself. Only the LORD is sovereign and who can know His Mind. He can and does make some for mercy and some for wrath and it does not infringe on anyone's freewill. It's actually quite simple really: Imagine a door and on it's threshold is written, "Come unto Me", everyone who passes by that door can easily read that invitation. Now anyone can choose to listen to or ignore it's invitation, but there must first be a call because we are incapable of heading it left to ourselves. Those who choose to enter however see this written above the threshold behind them once they've passed thru that door, "Welcome I've known, loved and chose you from before the foundations of the world". I pray everyone heads the invitation and hears the call even though the LORD tells me that is not for me to decide. God Bless... Just a little added info on the Rapture for those who still wonder as to it's timing. You want to settle this for yourself once for all in your mind, read Scripture with prayer but also listen to those wiser than yourself. The Rapture Question by John Wolvoord is a very good book on the Rapture and goes through all views using Scripture for each of them. That book along with my personal studies has set pre-trib firmly as the Biblical doctrine that I ascribe to personally.

It's exposition from God's Word. Ephesians 1-2 is loaded with the truth of God's sovereignty in salvation. G3 Ministries is committed to preaching the full counsel of God's Word without apologizing for what the Bible says...even in the hard texts.

​@@G3Ministries If you teach the whole council of scripture, how do explain the narratives, stories and scriptures that don't fit your whole?. You just ignore and excuse them. I suspect the texts are hard because you misunderstand the author. I think this sums up the differnce between what we believe: You think Ephesians 1&2 are about God's sovereignty. I think its about about Jesus, and how we are reconcilled with God. Your concept of God’s sovereignty points to a different picture of God and His purpose than this Jesus. This I've said before: I've finally realized what Calvinism is about, its about defending Calvinism not the Bible. You have to follow their thought process to understand what they believe. If you just read the Bible you never will. It's like going down the rabbit hole, theology in a tube. You can't argue with them, because they can't see out of their hole. The Bible is a Narrative, God's Story, from Genesis all the way through to Revelation. We have an invitation to be part of it. Calvinism is a usurper that tries to impose it's own ideas on to the message, completely ignoring the story.

@@G3Ministries Why do you use the word "sovereignty" to mean "meticulous determinism"? When someone uses a word incorrectly, using it to mean something it doesn't mean, that seems to be either a mistake, ignorance, or deception.

@@G3Ministries The god of Islam is also a determinist, like the god of calvinism and the Reformed. Calvinism is another (false) gospel.

How do you explain that according to Paul we are "chosen before the foundation of the world"? If you take Scripture seriously you will come at least to a conclusion, which you can identify as "soteriological Calvinism" . This is not man-made doctrine, it is biblical. All the attacks on Calvinism are hiddenly driven by human pride, the wish, that WE, not God is sovereign in our salvation. Arminianism a form of works religion.
