Best line: "You can choose your sin, but not the consequences"

This statement "You can choose your sin, but not the consequences" really struck me. Thank you for sharing.

I first studied this scripture last year. Prior to that time, I had never heard it. My mouth dropped as if I were reading a secular novel. This really shows that there is nothing new under the sun. The same things that happened in Biblical history is still happening today. God has provided a blueprint for every situation we could ever face.

I remember the first time I read the Bible, this story stood out to me. I re-read it several times to make sure I was reading it correctly because it seemed so gruesome. The horrors that women had to endure during that time… it was tough to get through. Thank you for talking about it because not many preachers are brave enough to do so!

"You can choose your sin, but you cannot choose your consequences." Words of wisdom for sure. People who lust and desire for sinful things never stop and think about the bad that can happen. They only hear their desires and think of satisfying themselves....some consequences last a life time and longer. Even if God does forgive you, you still have to face the consequences.

This is the best interpretation of Judges 19 that I’ve heard. Thank you for breaking down the lessons from the most traumatic chapters in the Bible. I really appreciate your courage! Unlike most preachers, you don’t sweep things under the rug. 🙏🏽

Rightly summed up, Allen! One poor decision led to several other poor decisions because they started making decisions led by the flesh and not by what God would want them to have done.

"You can choose your sin but you cannot choose your consequences" 🙌

Hey BEAT family! I pray you are impacted with this story and the lessons I discussed in this video.

WOW😳 Thanks for this lesson. It definitely hits hard! The further we drift away from God, the worst we do😞

Join me in this prayer. The more that pray it the stronger it gets. Pray God’s will be done on this earth as it is in heaven. Pray God protects and blesses the children. Pray for the truth to be revealed. Pray God lifts the scales from the lukewarm and lost eyes, opens their ears and soften their hearts. Pray God strengthens His children, gives them more discernment, pours more Fire on them and wakes them up. Pray the end times harvest will increase. Pray God exposes the evil people in the USA government and brings them to justice 💜

Was I the only one who ran to my Bible to read this book??!! 😂😂 I had NO IDEA this was what the book of judges was about. Such great lessons!

Allan I was traumatized the first time I read this. Haven’t read it since. I’m so happy that you’re teaching from it.

I’ve read that story multiple times and it’s crazy how much more disturbing it becomes when explained in modern terms. (And it was already extremely disturbing to begin with) Please do more storytelling videos like this, it really puts things in an interesting perspective!!

Oof.. I hit hard when you were talking about someone telling us something we would do 10 years ago and us not believing them.. if someone would’ve told my 18 year old self 10 years ago where I would be at now and what I would have done since then.. I would have laughed in their face. God has definitely humbled me from being a judging man to an understanding one..

Very good message, one person can start a terrible chain of events. We say "It's my choice, and I'm not hurting anyone". That's one of the lies we tell ourselves when doing wrong. Thank you for your teaching about real things in real lives.

The moral of the story you can't correct sin with more sin. That was really sad and unnerving.

What kind of fathers are these?! What is behind this lack of love for women…amongst God’s people? So heartbreaking. 😢💔

"You can choose your sin, BUT you cannot choose your consequences" waw, what a quote! 😲😲🔥🔥

It's hard to believe how much Grace God has for us sinners....praise His name!

JESUS is God.

Thank you for always sharing and teaching the word faithfully. A lot of people don’t focus on the tough stories, but you do your channel is a blessing brother!

*Moral relativism ultimately leads to horrific depravity.* The world is a slave to the sickness of sin & Christ alone can save us. Mercy Lord Jesus😔

Lesson 4: You Can chose your Sin but not the Consequences Lesson 5: God has Grace for us even in the midst of our own destructive actions

Allen! I truly hope you read this. Don’t ever stop making videos like this. Biblical videos, that help us understand the Word and why each book within has been preserved for us. This is imperative for our walks. I think a lot of the failures of the church right now are due to biblical ignorance and “believers” not reading the Word. I pray for understanding and wisdom before I read and I know that He has given me the gift of teachers such as yourself. There have been many times that I’ve been discouraged when I read something very challenging and I go to my elders for guidance but instead of receiving any, I get a very generic response or “this is what the study Bible says”. We need to be better equipped on the challenging, such as slavery and exactly what you taught us in this video. Especially!! For our youth. We need to give them more credit! their questions are valid and we have been entrusted with the truth. The Bible says that we must always have a reasoned defense for why we have the hope that we have. An apologia 🗡 Once again thank you and keep em comin, God Bless

Thank you, Brother Allen for this very convicting message. It is set in the Scriptures as a warning from a Holy God to all faithful believers to turn away from sin and to live godly lives in this present age.

I just read this in a Bible study on Judges. You are so right that it is disturbing.

As soon as you said "disturbing story" I knew immediately what book in the bible you wer referring to. This story till this day puzzles me. Thank you for sharing your thoughts 😊

That is funny!!! This very section of scripture did trigger trauma in me many years ago when I was young in the Lord. It made me so angry with the Lord as I thought that He approved of what this man did to his concubine. It took me a while to realize people's actions don't always reflect God's will or heart ❤️

Amen this was a convicting story. Jesus Christ must be the center and foundation of our lives.

Great Job Brother Allen. I remember your post about how discouraged you were about your KZfaq bc it seemed ppl wanted shock jock culture news and exposés but the WORD is sufficient . Thank you for teaching this

I have finished reading Judges a couple of weeks ago, and you really brought these chapters to life here, Brother Allan. Wonderful study here, and a great lesson in life. Blessings to you and yours. Maranatha

As a woman seeing this video: yes, it triggered me. I have some questions I need to talk to God with. This video was hard to watch for me, but at the same time the lessons that you gave are valuable. Thank you for covering this topic, brother Alan. I pray that you will never stop speaking about The Scripture. Thank you for your ministry.

Our teacher in Bible study connected/referenced this story when we discussed Noah’s sons and his nakedness in Genesis. The Bible has a fascinating way of explaining how our free will has led us to where we are today. Thanks for breaking this down!

I'm at 19:13 in this content. I just stopped it because I remember this story sooooo very well. This was such a tragic story. I was shocked this story was in the Bible. However, a huge lesson was learned in this story. I'm going to continue now. Glory to God for Allen to cover this story.

I was born in a Christian home, imagine as a little kid reading this part of the Bible. I was never able to understand why God would allow such thing but now as a grown up I understand, especially now that I see how society is. I have the privilege to have God with me since I was in the womb and He takes care of me, even if I don’t understand everything around me.

I have such mixed emotions because woman have always been treated as a less than😢men can't have kids, woman have to be dad + mom. Men don't work shouldn't eat 2Thess. 3:10

As long as I have been going to church, I have not heard a pastor cover this story of the Bible. If so, I may have not went that particular Sunday and missed it. Allen did a phenomenal job of breaking this story down.

Wow! This is a very direct and exact thing the God told me years ago. He plainly said to me "You get to make the choice, but you don't get to choose the consequences." This video just confirms what He told me. Thanks for sharing this very powerful lesson!

Allen I’m going to be 75 on the 22th of this month.....You are preaching the word of God Almighty

Yes, I read this a long time ago and was so disturbed that I had to put the bible down. I came back to that story months or a long time later when I could stomach it more. However, I was still disturbed. It reminded me of Genesis 19:4. You are the only minister I've ever heard teach on this. You've given me some clarity on chapters 20 & 21. I just couldn't understand why the husband cut his wife into pieces. It's probably because the story was so disturbing to me I couldn't see past it. (Just as the Dinah incident and the story of Tamar). Thank God I have read it, and you've explained it better for my understanding. Keep teaching us brother Allen.

Thank you brother for bringing light to this part of the Bible. I won’t lie I shook me when I read it but God is good always. Be blessed

I remember when I first read this years ago in my twenties and was horrified. Allen I appreciate your taking the time to share and teach on these verses.

Wow I had learned Judges with pastors but never did they go into detail like this. Thank you so much!!! God bless you and everyone who hears this message !!!

"The further you and I drift away from God, the more vulnerable we are to doing things we never imagined we would do."

Man, I already knew which story you were referring to before I watched the video. Thanks for engaging this scripture! It’s always so hard to read.

That scripture in Judges shattered me when I heard it last year because it is absolutely shocking. But!!! The lessons you gave made absolute sense and I found your lessons to be so true and right. Thanks for your insight. 🙁

I am a PK and I calling dad tomorrow and asking why wasn’t this talked about. Wow thank you for making these videos.

This is the first time I heard a message from this passage. I read this passage few years back, was so traumatized that I didn't read more about it. But hearing you now has put my mind to rest. Thank you

It goes to show that we can do things we were convinced we could never do

I'm truly speechless this is so powerful they don't preach this in church today My hat off to you for standing up and preach the truth 🙏🙏🙏

This was a awesome video... gave me chills and a better understanding of how all my actions will have consequences... even if they are not good... Thank God for His grace and mercy 🙏🏻

This was one of the most disturbing stories I had ever read in the Bible. The first time I read it - it stayed with me for weeks. When I talk about it with other people, I get so worked up about it. Thank you for talking about this.

I knew which story you were going to mention as soon as I heard you say it's the most disturbing. I felt the same way the first time I heard this story in the Bible in a year with Father Mike. Thank you so much for this video. You picked the story apart and interpreted it so well . Thank you as well for the trigger warning Shared

This is deep and what we need to hear. No one wants to talk about these situations in the Bible. Thank you.

I always hate listening to this story, but thank you for taking the time to review it. No good ever comes from doing what we think is right in our own eyes.

Such a great video. I had never read through the entire story. Sobering and I too was struck by "You can choose your sin, but not the consequences." Powerful

Thank you brother. I love your teaching so much. I am living a life of consequences, but I praise God and I have no right to expect any particular thing. I know that my life is better than I deserve.

Hi Allen. Just wanted to give you feedback. I’ve read this story many times, but hearing it so passionately expressed by you it really touch my soul. Such a devastating story. 😢. I love these types of videos. Great one. !! Thanks.

I couldn't agree more, this is indeed the most disturbing story. Although I never experienced anything like that, I am one of those unable to ever read this story again. The things are deeply disturbing me: the way women were apparently worth nothing (the father willing to sacrifice his daughter and the wife of the man). And then, this cowardly man takes the murdered wife and wants revenge for her - although he is the one who let her getting abused.

Thank you for preaching on this story. It was a horrible story and made me feel sick and sad for the woman and all those affected by it. You explain how sin trickles down from one bad decision on down. God’s great grace is sufficient. But for the grace of God, there go I. So thankful for His great love for me.

History repeats itself when we fail to remember.

Mr. Parr, thank you so, so much for taking a historical event that cannot be taught in Sunday School or Bible Studies and teaching a Godly message with it!! I have no doubt that you are anointed by God!! God Bless You Brother and Your Ministry!!

So powerful! I had read this but never really gave it a thought. To think that, no Benjamites, means no King Saul! He was also from Gibeah! 🤯

EXCELLENT teaching video! God's Word does not shy away from telling the good and bad. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God ..." 2Tim 3:16. I once heard: "Choices are optional, but the consequences are set."

I cried the first time I read this story a few years ago. So terrible. Thanks for the lesson.

I didn’t understand consequences until I was in my late 30’s I was so Biblically deficient 😩 But No More Glory to God for His Mercy and Grace and the Precious Blood 🩸 of Jesus Christ. Keep up the good work young man🙏🙏❤️ First time I’ve heard you. I am subscribing Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for going over this I recently read this and was bewildered. It reminded me of of emitt till and how his mother left his casket open so people could see the evil that was done to him when he was murdered. That visual helped move the needle a lil more for us in the movement.

Finished your book yesterday! Going back through it now transferring notes and scripture references to my Bible! Thank you for making things so clear.

Thanks for your retelling of this part of scripture. I am preparing a message for this Sunday on the parable of the wheat and the tares and this so fits in with it. The more we try to “fix” the problem caused by the weeds, the more wheat we destroy in doing it. The harvest is what God seeks. Be blessed.

You are one of the bravest men out there! I'm new to your channel, but not new... I'm 69! All my life when reading through the Bible i could FEEL that 19th chapter in Judges coming up with pure dread! I've been so appreciating you taking on the tough topics (& blowing away all the fluff in which theyre cushioned), but when i saw this come up, i knew EXACTLY what story you were going to tell... & honestly, i do have a past that could be triggered, so I waited awhile, but came back to listen (I'm ok🙂). So, wanted to say, WELL DONE!

Love this type of content and teaching brother! Thank you!

JESUS CHRIST IS LORD GOD and He is risen! If you are reading this right now, it doesn't matter who you are or what you have done in your life, if you are currently reading this, please be saved today, there's no more time to waste, time to waste is up and done! It's the best decision you'll make in your entire eternity; accepting CHRIST JESUS as your LORD AND SAVIOUR KING GOD MESSIAH and EVERYTHING! This is the Gospel; The LORD KING JESUS CHRIST loves you so so much that He came down from Heaven, lived the perfect life that we cannot live by ourselves, He died on a cross at Calvary for you, me, and ALL of us and ALL of our sins, and He rose again from the grave 3 days afterwards, conquering death, hell, sin, the devil, all evil, and condemnation. He's waiting for you to accept Him and come to Him with open arms in a genuine personal relationship and there's no other love ever like His since He loves you eternally and infinitely so believe in the FATHER YHWH JEHOVAH and the SON whom He sent, The LORD GOD KING JESUS CHRIST YESHUA HAMASHIACH, and receive The HOLY SPIRIT The Spirit Of JEHOVAH that will dwell in you, change you, lead you, guide you, and be your absolute best friend as GOD the HOLY SPIRIT just alongside The FATHER YHWH and CHRIST JESUS the Son Of GOD, GOD incarnate, which those 3 together make the HOLY TRINITY; GOD THE FATHER YHWH JEHOVAH, GOD THE SON CHRIST JESUS YESHUA HAMASHIACH, AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT, the one and only true GOD. I love you but nowhere near as much as GOD. Repent by believing in the LORD GOD KING JESUS CHRIST and thou shalt be saved, and once you tell JESUS that you believe in Him and genuinely trust in Him by inviting Him into your heart, you are sealed unto the Day of Redemption and you cannot lose your salvation in CHRIST JESUS and He will help you live for Him with His HOLY SPIRIT Amen, the Rapture is the Day of Redemption also which is so extremely very soon and He does not want you or anybody to be left behind nor me nor you do. GOD bless you and KING JESUS CHRIST IS LORD GOD. ✝️👑🦁🕍💒🙌🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️‍🔥💞💯💖 John 3:16 (KJV) - 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 14:6 (KJV) - 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Romans 10:9-10 (KJV) - 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 1 Timothy 2:5 (KJV) - 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Revelation 1:7-8 (KJV) - 7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Let’s have some studies on The Book of Revelation a full breakdown with the Book of Daniel and Matthew bro I honestly believe you can give us a great one!!!

In all my years have NEVER read this or heard about it…I know of other stories in the Bible of incest and rape but this right here😧😧😧😧…..but your breakdown is on time….everything but God has been first in my life as of late and my life has been spiritually chaotic. I was praying and asking for forgiveness and this just shows Gods grace to remind me of my need for Him daily🙏🏾

I am so glad that you talked about this story because I cry everytime I get to that part. I never understood why this history was added in. Thank you for helping me understand.

Thank you for covering this scripture

Such a great teaching. I have learnt a lot from these chapters. I never quite understood the lesson behind it. “ the further we move away from God the worse we become” very profound! Thank you so much and God continue to bless you 🙏🏽

Stories like these breaks my heart for several reasons. First, it exposes how dark people can get when they've strayed too far from the light. Secondly, there are people who would read it and will be inspired to protect and treat women better and respect each other. Third, there are people who would read this, not use discernment and will see little to nothing wrong with the story, because if it is in the bible, then God must've been ok with it and emulate the situation instead of taking a different and more loving approach like the good Lord intended. All because it's in the bible, doesn't mean that God was ok with it. Consequences come with free will.

I'm battling the spirit of lusts each day. Lord please help break the stronghold of lust.

Man this brother just took us all to church! Love your videos! You stick to the word but yet make it entertaining and interesting. Good word!

God has to be the center. Theres no other way! This was so powerful!! I had to go back and listen a few times!!

Without God life is a mess

I had to go back to my notes on this chapter, and all I wrote was, "????" It was so disturbing that I was speechless.

Thank you brother Parr for your helping me to understand scriptures better. God bless you always 🙏

This is the best video you've ever put out (and I love your videos!). This passage in Judges has always upset and disturbed me, and I really got a lot out of your analysis, especially the applications you drew. Thank you, Brother Allen

No one good thing coming from this land till today time’s 🙏❤️☦️❤️🌎

In those times people were so unsafe, no kind of security

Excellent video. So much conviction especially about living with accountability 🙌🏾

I am buying THAT BOOK! THANKS!

THE LAMPSTAND (Matthew 5:15) In our hearts, do we have rooms With the doors shut tight Inside a sin, we just can't bring Out into God's light The Lord is calling out to us To open up our hearts So God's light can shine inside And set our lives apart We are His special children Our lampstand is now set He wants us to shine so bright As bright as we can get The time is now, open your heart And let God's light shine in We'll shine bright, so all can see The light of God within

Thank you Bro. Allen for bringing this story to life. This is the first time for me that anyone has stopped to look at this story more attentively. I recently read Judges as I am reading through the Bible and I didn't see every detail you just discussed. Sometimes we read these stories without sentiment, as if they didn't happen. I appreciate you taking the time to go through it and for the powerful lessons that you drew from it. God bless 🙏🏼

Such a great message! Thank you brother Allen

thank you for the message brother Allen!

Dude seems like he is very much enjoying telling and very vividly painting this picture...

I never heard this story in the bible but have seen it play out in people's lives :( If you're ever caught up in other people's bad decisions, and you see that chain of negativity, pray to Christ for wisdom to break that chain. Sometimes you can be a stopper to that chain of evil with God's help.

ThankQ allen parr , I’m learning a lot from your content all the way from South Africa

When I saw the thumbnail, I immediately guessed the story. It’s one of those one I tend to quickly skip over. I always feel so disgusted at what happened and angry at the Levite.

These lessons hit me HARD. Thank you for breaking everything down.

I have a similar way of telling stories as you do, but you do it so much better. I need to practice. The way you tell it help with mental visualization and emotion in the situation. It was very good revealing the lesson. Very good video. Thank you for this!
