Thank y'all, so much!

Dr. Mackie is brilliant. I learn so much from his teachings.

Awesome to hear at the end of Matthew’s structure of utilizing 3s and centered dramatically on The Lord’s Prayer. Love these insights. Grateful for Mackie.

God hit my Pastor a few years ago showing that we HAVE TO be "Yoked to the Sermon on the Mount" so we reflect on this weekly. Starting off woth the Beatitudes. It's painful although life transforming!

The balloons came up because of a hand signal. Tim said, "Two images from the Isaiah Scroll" and kind of shook his hand showing two fingers and that set off the hand gesture that sent balloons. Try it with different number signs and see what happens. 😀😀. Pastor Roseborough did the same thing in a recent video and explained how he accidently made the balloons come up so that is the only way I know what happened. Also, great interview!!!

The point of Jesus’ wisdom reflection on the Torah is really good

Thankful For This ❤️ Tim is My Hero🔔

I've never seen a man as wise as Tim. God is glorified. I feel so lucky to be existing at the right moment in time.

His answer on why do people seem still so heart hardened made me ball crying… wow .. brilliant .. made perfect sense ❤

I love hearing tim talk lol he has such a unique accent

I love him and just finished studying Sermon on the Mount. So much meat in there 🎈🎈🎈

Great discussion, guys! Tim always brings interesting insights to the conversation. I'd love for you to have him on another time to talk about the understanding of "Ruach" in Scripture, particularly in the OT, and how the teachings of Jesus and the NT writers build on and develop that understanding.

This is what God gave to me out of this great discussion. I believe that Jesus is teaching us to be very careful about what we say, think, and do towards one another. As Jesus sums up his ministry in the gospel of John before dying and paying for all of wrongdoings is the new commandment when he says to love one another just as he has loved us.

Thank you. A wonderful conversation. You have to learn to trust God, and that you can't trust yourself. You have to learn to humble yourself.

To those who might be interested. I'm always keen when a Doc lists a book to read! So I think Dr Mackie meant to say "divine conspiracy" by Dallas Willard. The book he mentions 😊

Some of my favorite people all together on this show today!

Highly informative interpretations from Biblical Project co creator! Inspired me to memorize this passage of Jesus' words.

Wow what a beautiful episode. Now off to memorize the sermon on the mount 😂👏🏻

Maranatha!

Tim Mackie is amazing!! So much insights and clarity on this topic. Also, if you mute the sound, and watch his had motions, you can pretend he's teaching a puppetry clinic. 🤣

Very helpful! Blessings to all!

LOVE LOVE LOVE Tim Mackie!!! Definitely one of my favorite guests you’ve had on!

The symbolic meaning of the number 'three' in scripture is; affirmation, surety and strength.

Thank you, Gentlemen 🌹⭐🌹⭐🌹⭐

This was fire 🔥

Salt is also used for disinfecting. It preserves because it kills the bacterial infection that corrupts the meat.

Thank you.

this interview gave me the desire to read and really ponder on the Gospel of Matthew... great interview! great resource person, Dr Tim Mackie, as always... his humility, (always don't want to take credits) make him at times hard to understand 😄 but as one really ponder, spend time and focus...it's deep and faithful in leading people to Jesus. He's even very careful in his words not to make it "too" spiritual for there are people who tend to reject (then miss) the beauty of the message when it becomes "too" spiritual. praising God for this person. 😃😇

The baloons are an iOS feature when you do the peace sign (which Tim was doing incidentally) 😂

"Blessed are the cheesemakers!" The Life of Brian.

Yow less goo this is why the holy spirit is making me watch this i understand now even though im asleep he keeps reminding me you need the sermon on the mount you need the sermon on the mount this bless me keep doing the Good work Thank you every one God bless

This is a great discussion, enjoyed so much!

Tim Mackie is one of the best humans in todays universe. Thank you for having him on🙏❤️

Seeing Josh’s face right before the intro on this episode is so funny

Jesus Christ is Lord.🔥🔥🔥

Why do we not look different, because we do not fully center our whole lives, every activity around Christ and his teachings, we do not commit our selves to being one with God and literally following him and living as he said in hatred of everything and everyone else. We have so much worthless stuff that we seek after in the west that we fill ourselves with because we are focused on our “Christian” freedom to watch this and do that, so we do not see things happening because we are not one with God as Jesus prayed in John 17:20-23 Just wanted to answer that question because that is an ultimate question. I love this channel and Tim Mackie. So much great stuff

So good! Looking forward to more

The balloons are one of the new features on Mac OS….picked up on Tim’s hand gestures. 😂 Was on Tim’s computer.

This was so good!

38:20 A door opened! 👍

Balloons ---> The OLD Groucho Marx Show ---> "Say the secret word..." and then a duck would drop. LOL! On a serious note---how can there be a bad interview with Tim? Excellent as always. And you are both the consummate professionals.

This was awesome boys 💥💥

The ballons are from making a peace sign LOL.. Apple gestures on on Tims computer...

I was raised within a Catholic family in southern California. I went to every mass, I was in catechism from 1965-1978 and received 1st Holy Communion, then Confirmation. At that time it was the foundation I was given. I believe the Holy Spirit launched a nuke into my life at the age of 13, within the same year as my confirmation. Between 1965 and 1978 I can honestly say, in any study at church or at home, I was never introduced to Bible verses, never. The only scripture that was repeated was at Saturday or Sunday mass, and it was in latin and I did not understand it. I was told to confess my sins to Father Mike, and he gave me a path to repentance by repeating a lot of Hail Mary's and Our Fathers for the rest of the day and night depending in the sin I confessed. At the age of 15, on Huntington beach peir, I was approached by a man, I can not remember his face, but he had long hair down to the middle of his back, brown and sun bleached. He was bigger than me, not in size, but in stature of life, or strength if you will. To this day I believe He was a messenger, a very important messenger. 🙏 We recited this prayer, a prayer that has echo'ed in my mind daily, and continues to this day. 🙏 Jesus, I have sinned times without number, and been guilty of pride and unbelief, of failure to find thy mind in thy Word, of neglect to seek thee in my daily life. My transgressions and short-comings present me with a list of accusations, But I bless thee that they will not stand against me, for all have been laid on Christ; Go on to subdue my corruptions, and grant me grace to live above them. Let not the passions of the flesh nor lustings of the mind. Bring my spirit into subjection, but do thou rule over me in liberty and power. I thank thee that many of my prayers have been refused- I have asked amiss and do not have, I have prayed from lusts and been rejected, I have longed for Egypt and been given a wilderness. Go on with thy patient work, answering ‘no’ to my wrongful prayers, and fitting me to accept it. Purge me from every false desire, every base aspiration, everything contrary to thy rule. I thank thee for thy wisdom and thy love, for all the acts of discipline to which I am subject, for sometimes putting me into the furnace to refine my gold and remove my dross. No trial is so hard to bear as a sense of sin. If thou shouldst give me choice to live in pleasure and keep my sins, or to have them burnt away with trial, give me sanctified affliction. Deliver me from every evil habit, every accretion of former sins, everything that dims the brightness of thy grace in me, everything that prevents me taking delight in thee. I shall bless thee forever, God of Jeshurun, for helping me to be upright. Amen 🙏 On the pier that day, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and God were there, in me, along side this messenger and created a fisher of men, it was like time stopped. completely! My heart was full and complete. That day i finished the above prayer and asked for wisdom and discernment. I will commit at this point, after listening to this podcast, to memorize the sermon on the mound, What a blessed time to live, Amen🙏

That made me laugh so hard. It’s actually Tim’s MacBook, the new update does emoji on FaceTime. It can be turned off :)

I feel so lucky to have been able to go to Tims church where he went thru New testament at 6am mon-fri He is so committing to teaching Gods word. We r so blessed to have the Bible Project now. Imagine the millions of christians thru out history who did have all this wisdom to feed their souls and find some truth that can help them understand God and life a little better which gives them a little hop

What "Ihop Situation" was he talking about at the end?

One of the interesting things about the Sermon on the Mount is that while it is the most well known sermon Christ gave in scripture, it is ironically the sermon that traditional Christianity rebels against the most, understands the least, and misquotes the most. Christ told His followers to live by the Law and the Prophets in Matt. 5:17-20, and yet adherents of traditional Christianity argue that they're exempt from the Law and the Prophets' authority.

Love Mackie, and love this! One thing I wish they might have addressed: Some people take the beatitudes as instructive, exemplifying states of blessedness to seek out, whereas Dallas Willard resisted this, teaching instead that they mean “these TOO are blessed” (not only people who are materially and circumstantially wealthy). Subtle, but substantial difference! I was wondering if Mackie takes Willard’s reading on the beatitudes.

I am going to memorise the sermon on the mount. One of my Goals in 2024!

The balloons were from a recent iOS update. FaceTime now reacts to hand gestures and thought Tim was doing a peace sign ✌️

To me, there is a more obvious parallel in scripture and it's Ecclesiastees. But for some reason it always seems to be overlooked. Read the Kohelit and then read "the sermon" and you'll see there are no less than 10 direct pointings to this wonderful book, from vows to speech and acceptable gifts. I believe it is the book Jesus is using to explain the originalist view of Yah's ways

Interesting listen. I found the center of the sermon to be Solomon's name ch6v29. To further make the case that the sermon was, in fact, drawn from Ecclesiastees and the moral of the sermon is Ecc 12v13-14

48:24 love God and love his image bearer’s

Woah, watching the chat, it seems I really needed to be there today, lol.

“For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that's Moses, not Jesus. I haven't heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere. 'Blessed are the merciful' in a courtroom? 'Blessed are the peacemakers' in the Pentagon? Give me a break! Kurt Vonnegut

Question ** First, loved the video and discussion. Second, could you comment on this quote I’ve heard recently about the Sermon on the Mount? “the Sermon on the Mount is the greatest sermon on the law that’s ever been preached … largely, the purpose of the Sermon on the Mount is an exposition of the law and an application of the law to man that will condemn and crush us in our own attempts to be righteous, and would thereby drive us to the one preaching the sermon”.

Hey, Genesis 1 is structured three by three

Thanks for video guys. I've never picked up on the rule of three pattern used in the account of the sermon on the mount. Thanks for pointing that out.

It seems to me that what happened at the cross was that the old passed away and everything became new. All of this happened before the foundation of the world but was manifest at the cross in time/space. All humanity died and were resurrected with Christ and were born again with a new heart. This is the objective truth. Our subjective experience changes from day to day based on our fellowship and relationship with Father, Son, and Spirit. That is why many Christians don't seem to have a new heart, even though they in fact do. Subjective experience is ever changing while objective truth is not.

We treat people and understand circumstances according to how we judge (value) them-this need to judge good or evil is "the core disposition of the heart." In the sermon, Jesus addresses this principle in various scenarios. But the resolution to this judgment isn't love or endurance-it's faith. That is to say to God, "You are the judge of what is good or evil, not me."

Can I underscore the point that Jesus' teaching on righteousness is attainable to each of us to the extant that Jesus is actually KING in our lives?

Intro stare lol

What is changed is for us to walk by revelation instead of reason. Jesus didn't call us to don't do what you're supposed to not do, He called us to do(follow Me) what we are supposed to do! If we, as Jesus said, are only doing what we see from the Father, saying only what they hear from the Father. That's Christian Perfection!

Does this interview ask him if he has changed his teachings on Hell? I adored Bible Project all the way back to when they still had the, "The", in the title! But watching the video below was horrifying.

Great discussion. Lots of new ideas to me. Maybe I'll memorise the first triad of the Sermon on the Mount, hows that for a start?

pure in heart is actually clean in heart this might allegorize to the clean and unclean idea of OT

For anyone interested in even more commentary on this topic, I highly recommend "Studies in the Sermon on the Mount" by D.Martyn Lloyd-Jones.

When Paul said, I desire to do good but the good I desire to do this I do not do, the evil I desire not to do this I keep on doing, Paul is talking about when he was persecuting the Christians, when he was not born of the Christ, when he was persecuting the Christians he simply thought he was doing the good, he didn't recognise that he was doing the evil even though he desired to do the good, the reason being, he called the evil the good because he was blind to the truth, like many people in this world who desire to do good but all they do is the evil, because they are blind to the truth, when Paul says, it is no longer I which does it but sin that dwells within me which does it, it is now he's born of God, because the sin does not take hold of him because now he has the light which opposes the evil, so when sin rises within him he sees it because now he is light he has opposition to sin, where is before when he was in the darkness there is no opposition, this is why the terrorists in this world think they are doing the good but all they are doing is the evil, because they have no light they are blind and cannot see the truth, because they do not possess the spirit of Truth, Being born of God is not necessarily desiring to please God, because when Paul was a pharisee he still desired to please God, but he did not please him because he had no light, this is why Christ died to give man light the Holy Spirit of truth, but so many Christ believers believe they are born of the spirit but they are not, for the Christ is not in them. Thus the scripture, you Worship me with your lips but your hearts are far from me. This is why you continually fail, because you are not born of light, John Piper is a classic example of this, he is over 60 years old and he tells me he is full of the spirit of an adolescent child, no change has occurred within him, his heart has not been circumcised, you are supposed to be full of the Holy Spirit as it is written, not full of yourselves like John Piper, so many of you do not possess circumcised Hearts, as it is written, to be transformed into the image of the Christ, to be made perfect in love, love immaculate love divine, the sons and daughters of the most high god,

Love these discussions, thank you! Also, liked the balloons

Tim must use a Mac and his hand gesture made the balloons fly up.

Those balloons 😂

oh, did you ever figure out the balloons were some southerner's heart resonating when you used our pronouns (y'all)? bless your heart.

To everybody calling DrMackie a heretic, please, I’d appreciate your definition of a heretic/heresy.

Why only 30 minutes again?

Of course the Sermon on the Mount is for us to "hear" today but when Jesus said these words, he was directing them to his disciiples There were people around who listened but Jesus was talking to the disciples. Maybe he points this out but 11 minutes in, he has not done so yet.

Is this a talk show?

The already not yet is very real theology. At the same time as I've been listening and reading the old testament. It's always been a matter of the heart and a circumcision by the spirit as King Saul was said to have been given a new heart from God. I believe the new covenant is a renewed covenant first with the Jews and then to the gentiles just as gentiles could have become covenant followers of God in the old testament but as the book of Hebrews says this covenant is enacted on better promises with God promising to do everything for us and to us. I feel the real question is, will we let him do it to us. Paul says the Israelites didn't achieve the law because they didn't pursue by faith because the natural man can't follower his ways we must allow the True Spirit the Spirit of Truth to do his Job within the Godhead. I've been following Jesus for six years now. I've had a lot of stumbles and failures buy after hearing this and going thru a really tough time the past few months I knkw God is allowing me to put myslef through all this misery so I can see his Glory and receive it so I can again reflect it and even better than before because know he has given me better understanding as proverbs says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and it goes on to say when you get Wisdom get insight. Tim Mackey God bless you for bring some beautiful understanding from the word of God and may God bless you and this channel to keep digging and as all of Christ's followers continue to work out our salvation with fear and trembling as God truly works in our hearts to bring many sons and daughters to glory.

We need to be careful when discussing the law given by Moses to his people. Indeed, some of the important aspects of the law were given directly by God. But God's friend Moses was also delegated to make some of those laws for his people. Some of those delegated laws fell short of the ideal righteousness of God, as Jesus himself explained (Matthew 19:3-9). Even the ten commandments, though given for humanity's good, did not attain the righteous perfection that God requires, as Jesus also stated (Matthew 5:21-48). Whatever God gives us is for our good. But we today are under the law of grace and love, through the Spirit of Christ, which leads us to that which is greater than the law of Moses.

Thank you Tim for bringing the Torah in as needed. I hear some churches are against teaching the Torah, but there's really nothing to fear. "Keep it real" from the Word & all will be done accordingly & in God's timing. The Old Testament is still relevant. It ain't nothin' about being replaced but restored 💪💃🛐. Amen & Amen

If I may be so bold to explain what changed at Pentecost - Prior to Pentecost people looked to men / rabbi / priest / teachers to get to God the Father , Jesus shares Himself / Truth proclaiming the good news Repent ( Turn to God) After Pentecost we dont need earthly teachers , We rely through faith on the Spirit of Jesus / God / Holy spirit to teach us direct, The spirit gives us the ability to hear truth or lies, We can still listen to people who think they are teaching but all Truth comes from Jesus and his sheep hear, When one repents God the Father performs a union / Marriage and unites us with His Son (The Marriage) We become His bride and He starts to teach us, The old man dies free from lies and Just like Pinocchio when we dont lie any more and are not the puppet of lies we become real / alive / new born ,

Started off great, then got lost until at (40). Why no talk about the conclusion? Because that is the call to obedience. Thank God for mercy, but Jesus sermon conclusion is not a call to Paul's grace but a radical call to holiness (not excuses) intimacy, and obedience. 3 responses-1. you'll know them by their fruits (character). 2. I never knew you. Talk is cheap. Know Jesus. Live the life. 3. Hear My sayings and do them. Stability or destruction. Would have liked to hear Tim's take on the conclusion. Good hour, could have been better with simpler questions, staying on the subject, and getting to Christ's conclusion (3).

Sermon on the Mount. Sermon on the Plain. Flat Earthers need to hear the Word too.

I would say that Jesus told his followers to do what they who sit in Moses seat say so as not to be guilty of breaking that commandment. 😉

Be careful to check Mackie’s views on propitiation and Hell.

Some one get that genius a proper room and seat! Is he in a closet? Lol

Remember that Tim teaches hell doesn’t exist.

Should of asked Mackie what's up with his teaching on hell.

I think y'all got drolly spanked for not giving the guest sufficient time to present as he came prepared to.

A lot white guest, what was that about echo chambers?

Tim Mackie does some good things with the Bible Project. But he teaches very questionable things about the atonement, about Hell, and I’ve seen say questionable things about homosexuality. I could never recommend him wholeheartedly and would warn anyone to be very careful with his teaching.

Is the doctrine of substitutionary atonement still unbiblical Tim? Have you recanted and repented of that statement yet?

I really really dislike the massive push about “partnership” with God. It’s man centered and ridiculous. God doesn’t need us or our partnership. He loves us period, and not because we’re helping him in any way.

It's so sad near the end he is suggesting Jesus words are more meant for the culture back then as opposed for now. Hello? Jesus words are eternal!

Between reading Robert Alter's The Hebrew Bible & Mr. Mackie's teaching, (not church writers manipulation) more will make sense. There is no hell, Jesus is not God. Heaven is on earth, now for today. Mark was written 1st & everyone else copied his stories & Old Testament characters, replacing names & places as needed to get the lesson taught. Whose Kool aid are we drinking? Read & understand the old words as intended by the Jewish Jesus before moving onto the Christian Jesus.

Ive never been able to put my finger on it but Mackie has always seemed like a wolf in sheeps clothing. I dont know why but i sense there is something deeply wrong about thr gospel he preaches and how he understands God

I once had a great deal of respect for The Bible Project. Unfortunately, I’ve watched Mackie ride some dangerous lines. If you’d like an incredible examination on the Sermon on the Mount, check out Dr. Martin Lloyd Jones’s sermons on the matter, and steer away from Mackie.

Once more Mackie is disappointing, typically watering down the Gospel and the Person at the center of it. During one hour of teaching on the Sermon of the mount he makes no mention of the divinity of Christ, no reference to 'Lord' Jesus or to Him being the Son of GOD, but on the other hand he talks about how we human beings were created as 'glorious' beings. Mackie also talks about Jesus' 'claims' ??? Hello, what claims? Truths is more accurate.
