This was a beautiful teaching. Thank you. 😊

What rabbinic Jews were doing to Jesus for the last two thousand years exactly the satanic cult believing bastards of sola scriptura a man made tradition invented by a devil possessed man were doing to the Church that Jesus established under the stewardship of Peter for the last five hundred years

Most statements of new testaments letters are from Enoch

A sincere thanks for this presentation and the subsequent discussion! We need more of this very kind of philosophic consideration. When the world runs amuck, Christ expects us to be there with His answers. More power to every effort in this direction. I especially appreciate the idea that Christian history stands beside Revelation and Nature to provide answers for navigating the times in which we live. We now have 2000 years worth of Christian history to consider as we face contemporary issues and I would understand that Christ expects us to put that history to good use.

You reach the exact same conclusion of Philaret of Moscow, the russian "synodal bible" follows the massoretic and the LXX where it is clearly superior and quoted by the NT

Ah yes calling everything that isn't Pauline theology "neo-Gnosticism" is this new trend among Catholics or, shall I say, "Neo-Catholics" as a way to admonish anyone who sees theology another way. I find it frustrating. Want to talk about materialism yet the entire foundation of Pauline theology is accepting Christ as the only son of man who came, died for our sins, and then rose from the dead to ascend to heaven etc, and if you accept this you will make it to a magical place called heaven where you will have eternal life and live in paradise with all your saved friends and family blah blah blah. Aka Ego, aka Materialism. What he describes as materialism is actually just those who seek to be judged by their works rather than just being judged by their "faith" alone.

Trying to be reserved in what I say.. I would just like to warn that what is mentioned is only one side of gnosticism.. blending of Paganism with Christianity. There were Ante Nicean Church leaders, such as Clement of Alexandria in Stromata, who formed their own "conservative" form of Gnosticism that was much more covert. Rather than the overt "liberal" version that Iraneous warned about. Rightfully so.. but it wasnt the whole picture. We have seen the overt, but we are about to see the covert. Cycles repeat, and this is sort of the game.

44:00 I am under the “Authority” of my Higher Authority which IS Yahuah , through His Son Yahusa Messiah and am committed to listening to and obeying His Spirit living and working in me, therefore I am responsible to care for my Temple in which His Spirit dwells and if any man, entity or other says I must wear a mask that forces me to inhale my own waste which ALL Physicians say is hazardous to my health and when it is PROVEN that transmission of a virus is not in airborne molecules, THEN I am free to obey the “ONE IN WHOM I HAVE TO DO”. I am NOT in rebellion to Yahs law by resisting and yielding my members to unwise, dangerous, or evil pressures and persuasions of satanic tyrannical man who wishes to enslave me. In other words I WILL NOT “KISS THE RING”. Be blessed my brothers.

Dawg Early Christians invented heterodoxy and orthrodoxy and then killed everyone or forced thwm to join their new form of christianity that aligned with the ideals of Rome.

Thank you for your transparency and honesty

I'm really interested in some of the books you mentioned. I also want to crack open Pascal's Pensees again, which I probably haven't read in over 15 years. Thank you for sharing!!

The church to defend itself from Gnosticism? The Catholic church hunted and murdered the Cathars with the Albigensian Crusade. They committed torturing, hanging and burned alive many people of this Gnostic sect. What " Threat " you, 2 demented shadows of a men are talking about?

Fantastic job by Adam! In my opinion, when it comes to making an English translation of the Old Testament, i would favor the Dead Sea Scrolls as far as they could take me, and then the best manuscripts of the Septuagint, use the Masoretic Text as simply a witness. I would not use the Masoretic Text as the basis as most translators tend to do. I would also consult the Vulgate, Aramaic Peshitta, and some other ancient witnesses only in rare occasions.

@21:35 Maybe Peter SImon is wrong in 2 Peter 2:5

Masoretic ---Psalm:6 takes away( providith a body for me) But the New Testament preserved this.

I was caught by the video title, albeit chose not to watch given the timeline in excess of one hour. Had it been much shorter it would have been best.

I’m enjoying this study very much. My ancestors emigrated from Alsace Lorraine to the US for freedom to practice their Anabaptist faith. I, too, am a member of an Anabaptist church. I recently recommended a friend attend a Mennonite church in her neighborhood. I later looked at the church’s website and was surprised to see that some of their beliefs and practices don’t line up with Anabaptist beliefs even though they claim to be Anabaptist. That sent me on a quest to find out what exactly does it mean to be Anabaptist. I haven’t yet finished the book, but it has given me good insight into the birth and progression of the Anabaptist movement.

Are we sure the LXX was translated from a hebrew text? Wouldn't the translators have been native hebrew speakers

This will be such a great resource for our churches! Thanks for the interview.

Masoretic is corrupted, it was changed to hide the messiah by tenth century Jews tgst don’t believe in Christ

Are you still making these videos?

Stranger crafted theology. This is not of the Kingdom of God

I believe the Lord would rather receive spontaneous praise or a prayer from us when we are in the shower than having us not do it and wait until we got out of the shower to put our covering on.

Thanks a lot for this so necessary message 🙏🙏🙏

The Kirkland family is one of my favorite families in the world

Prove the entire OT was actually originally written in Hebrew.

I'm a new student of the Anabaptist tradition, but I'm liking this acceptance of the Septuagint and so-called "Deuterocanon" in Anabaptist circles. I was also pleased about the recommendation in this video of the Orthodox Study Bible, which has long been my go-to scripture.

My wife and I recently met with a couple who moved from the comforts of this area to a country in the Middle East, for the purpose of spreading God’s kingdom. It was an eye opener for us to just sit down and talk to them about this to hear how the Lord lead them to this decision. Just last week our church had a week of prayer and fasting about various topics one of which was the persecuted Christians all over the world, including Syria. With this being fresh on our hearts, this book talk has been yet another blessing regarding this and a yet another reminder of God’s active work today in areas we don’t even know of. I feel like the very least (the very most actually) we can do is to support our dear brothers and sisters in these hostile areas with regular prayer. Thank you for this brother Bryant and your guests. Lord bless you all. Looking forward to reading the book!

Thank you for sharing your family's experience. Very much appreciated your candor and experiences.

I just read “Awaiting the Dawn”, and that was a suspenseful page-turner! I go to church with one of the twins from the book, she let me borrow a copy. They said that Dorcas has a new book out and they’re excited to read it.

You can BUY this book here: strengthtostrength.org/product/the-victors-crown-of-glory-dorcas-hoover/

Thanks a lot for this inspiring talk! "Gelassenheit" is a helpful word, although it is so difficult in practice ... Gottes Segen from Germany 🙏

Just beautiful, ALL glory to God.. I’m only half way in, what a blessing… thankyou!!! ❤️🙏

Anyone who proclaims the KJV inspired complete discredits themselves in matter of objective primary source documented evidence. The Septuigent wasn't translated from the masoretic text family but a much older 3rd century Hebrew text family. This brother is highly biased to the masoretic text and the KJV. We cannot trust such a teaching.

This isn't accurate.

This guy is missing the fact that the septuagint is not a translation of the masoretic Hebrew text family. It's a translation from the 900 year older 3rd century BC Hebrew text family. The 3rd century BC Hebrew text family was different.

It never made sense

Have you not watched Nathan Hoffman's very informative teaching video on KZbin done 7 years ago titled "Were the Pyramids Built Before the Flood? (Masoretic Text vs. Original Hebrew)? Clearly shows how the OT Masoretic Text was deliberately corrupted by the Scribes and Pharisees after Jesus was resurrected in order to delegitimize Jesus as the Eternal High Priest. They subtracted 650 years out of Abraham's ancestors in order to say that Seth, Noah's eldest son, was in fact Melchesidek. Thus they could say that Jesus did not supersede the Aaronic priesthood. Satan was pretty slick on this one, but the numbers just don't make any sense. By his (Satan's) calculations, Seth would have outlived 6 generations of his and would have been alive to bless Abraham! Also, Methuselah would have died two years after the Flood! Obviously, none of this is possible, but that's what the Masoretic text indicates when you work out the math. The NT has the correct numbers however. Satan messed up big time on this one.

At around 1:07:00 David Bercot's thesis of blaming the "theologians" (from his book titled Will the Theologians Please Sit Down) is repeated uncritically. The first glaring problem with Bercot's thesis is that Bercot himself is a theologian by any reasonable definition of the endeavor, such as Andersons accurate definition of theology as speech about God (theo-logos). Then there's the fact that Bercot is cherry picking theologians to build a case against "them," a "group" of people that are not organically connected but that David strings together to create a predetermined narrative, contrasting them with "simple people." Anderson's (and Sam Baer's) honesty about Augustine after reading his Confessions should be a hint that Bercot's thesis is not feasible. There is no time in history when "theologians" were mostly bad and "simple Christians" were mostly good, or at least (theoretically) would have been mostly good if it weren't for the misleading teachings of the "theologians." Conservative Anabaptists who have consumed a lot of Bercot's writings should be thinking deep and hard of how to structure church history post-Bercot, how to undo some of the false narratives that Bercot weaves into his polemical writings.

I just came out of a group trying to keep the "Traditions" of the Early Church. A friend recently helped me see my own error in thinking by providing a.. Well, a great story of the Early Church leading up to Nicea, and where leaven crept in. Am example beinf Ignatius who established unilateral authority for Bishops after Polycarp and the Apostles had died- and how this grew into true error and at times heresy even early on. I refer to Underground Publishing. The story he tells adds context to the history of Mennonites, and united general born again believers in a historical line. Him and Lynn Martin just got connected. I think you all may appreciate the ideas though too.

Every false teaching starts with one man bringing the false teaching into this world. It continues with many copying him. And all of the sudden the first one is a renowned expert, cited by many. And centuries later people say: "But the early church fathers wrote..." and "The early believers did..." it is interesting indeed to read what Christians had to say and thought. However, only the Bible is Gods word and a veto to any interpretation that cant not at all or only under twisting of the Holy word be found in scripture. We see false teaching in the very first century. In Romans we read about those, who honestly believed that they should continue and willingly sin, because staying saved by the grace of God would increase not only His grace but also His glory. We read about the immorality in the 1st epistle to the Corinthians. About those who try to bring Jewish law and tradition back into the teachings of Christianity in the second epistle to the Corinthians. Peter had to be corrected by Paul on the teaching of Jewish diet laws. Jesus disciples moments before His arrest show that they did not not fully understand what was going on and their thinking rejected as from Satan. Early believers are not those who got it all figured out. I doubt that we got it all figured out, but we at least have 2000 years of teaching and also reformation back to the core of Gods word. At a minimum, we do not have more pagan influence that in the early churches. We see a false interpretation and application of many things these days. But I believe the solution is in Gods word, not the writings of the early church. We do not read about a church as an institution or a building. That is a anachronism. We do not even see todays liturgy, robes, dresses, incents, tithing habits and "worships" in the bible. None of it. Especially not the "vertical" worship towards God as we see it in Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox churches. When consulting the book of acts, but especially 1Cor14, we are taught by the apostle Paul what the purpose and intention of the assembly should be: edification. To grow together and by each other. That is a horizontal meaning. It is between the believers. Of course, the coming together in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ as well as prayers and thanks giving is a vertical approaching towards God. But with every believer citing or reading a psalm, singing a song, praying a prayer, reading scripture as a teaching or giving thanks to the Lord the intention is to grow with each other, to build up each other in faith and hope and love. There was no "front stage performance" by a single man in a special dress doing 1000 times rehearsed things. All that just came by the 5th century. And that shows that "early christians" and "early church fathers", the "early" is a wide spectrum of potentially wrong doing and it shows that we can indeed get our information out of the Bible. Best case (and the early lists by Irenaeus e.a. show that) those early Christians just received their teaching from the Bible and thats a book we have, too. Its interesting to read other peoples commentaries and thoughts. But we better do it as instructed and cross check against Gods word ourselves (Acts 17:11). Thats the reason why we believe in oral teachings (tradition) only for that time in history where scripture was not fully available, but consider now only the written books in the Bible as authoritative and not the word of men.

Bercot's independent church is one of the 40,000 congregations that don't agree, and that's still the case even though Bercot's church has the Bible plus the early church fathers. I agree with Bercot's premise that we should read the early church fathers. But that wasn't a very good argument in it's favor given his home congregation's strong independent streak.

The blessing of Bercot is that he invested years studying church history and gifted us his Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs; the weakness of Bercot is that he often talks like he quit studying after he published the Dictionary and instead invests himself in Anabaptist apologetics and rabid polemics against John Calvin...in order to prove his Anabaptist orthodoxy to Amish and Mennonite readers/listeners who are skeptical of his doctrines of baptism and the Lords Supper? This talk wasn't too bad as it drew on areas where Bercot has researched. But again, he could have done better regarding the topic of predestination and the question how to recognize hyperbole and other literary devices.
