One of His very best. Thanks for bringing attention to it.

the information presented was gathered by a algorithm designed in the early 2000's Tyndale House Cambridge decided to use the algorithm to evaluate the four Gospels and the Book of Acts. After evaluating the four Gospels and getting positive results they compared those results with the other gospels that were not included in Scripture. Pete, the speaker admits there will be some who disagree with the results. But the preponderance of the evidence give new evidence for the documents being written from a viewpoint of eyewitness accounts which is what the algorithm was designed to detect. thanks for expressing your thoughts

I think your reasoning is correct with Edward's teaching. I think it important to understand many disciples had incorrect understanding of things to come. Jesus did not write them off. He tried to educate them. Edward understood this and attempted to educate. He still accepted those who disagreed as Christian's because of the work Jesus did to Rescue mankind. .

Typical of his wit! He was my tutor and very understanding when I went to him with a summons for cycling the wrong way up Trinity St. in an attempt to get to the Div. School from the UL late on a Fri. afternoon. I wasn't a successful postgrad and left sans completion, but h e pointed out that the coll. was there to support true religion before learning and so I shouldn't beat myself up about it. (The fact I went to chapel and rowed probably didn't hinder.)

thank you for your support of the lecture.

What Jesus has done sanctifies us in the biblical sense of the word meaning to set us apart. Justification frees us from the Law of Sin and Death. But it also frees us to enjoy the law of liberty. Paul opposes using the law as a method to obtain righteousness for the flesh but he never opposes the laws use of being a standard to measure righteousness by the Spirit. It is important to equate the law with Scripture itself because law, or Torah, means God's instruction. All Scripture is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correction, and training in righteousness. 2 Tim 3:15 Personal sanctification is putting justification in action as Geoffrey Paxton was known to say. Justification is the mainspring for Sanctification as Bob Brinsmead taught in the red issue on Sanctification in 1975. Paul wrote the foundation believers were upon was the gospel of justification which he taught. Each person builds upon the foundation some with precious metals, some with precious stones, some with wood, some with stubble and straw. This illustration is about personal sanctification. Paul says it will all be tried with fire on the last day. Some of what was used to build will endure, others will be burnt up. But all who are on the foundation of God's work provided by Christ will be saved. So Justification is more essential. However Paul taught a judgment according to works to go along with justification by faith. What is revealed in the judgment is whether Justification by Faith is genuine or a mere profession to excuse sin. We who are justified should demonstrate a changed heart toward God's instruction. When we do we shall delight in God's law as did David.

@fleetwd1 that makes sense I think. Can I say that sanctification is Christ being made manifest in us as we behold who he is to us and rest upon him? I guess sanctification means to set apart kinda. So every believer is set apart in a way where God is now bringing them to an end of trusting in themselves and is revealing Christ to them more and more maybe? And then good works they do is Christ being worked into them more and more as they feed upon him? And so the precious stones stuff is what comes from that, where as straw and stubble is what's comes from flesh and men's ambitions. Self righteousness vain imaginations and the like. Which just leads to more sin I guess. Idk I guess what I'm come to think is the Christian life is all about being taken up with Christ as a person ministering himself to us, and the fruits of spirit are what flow from that. Cuz if i I'm just focusing on being a better person, and seeing that as my new purpose it just leads to more futility and sin. Im not tryna critique anything u said in anyway, it's just im tryna see what it all means. Ha ok I gotta read what u said again.

@fleetwd1 I one time looked up Bob brinsmeads website, but it seemed like he had a bunch of humanistic stuff on there, kinda like self improvement type stuff. It kinda confused me, do u know what happened to him?

@@343forwarduntodawn yes you are getting it. Think of faith righteousness and works of faith illustrated by the creation account. Man was not created on Day 1 to work 6 days and then find rest. He was created on Day 6. His first full day was a day of rest. Rest represents faith in God's finished work. Once we find rest in Him, we are the able to do works that faith enables. They are not works of flesh. Since works of the flesh do not proceed from the rest of faith. Those works are attempts of being justified by lowering the requirements to something we can accomplish on our own this is why they do not proceed by the Spirit but by the flesh. blessings to you

​@@343forwarduntodawn His best teaching was done between 1972-1980. in 1981 and 1982 he began to lose the biblical paradox of law and gospel. He was influenced by Scholars who question most Scriptures as being the product of the later church who wrote from their perspective rather than from God's. I am indebted to RDB teaching from 1972-1980. Des remained faithful to the teaching of that period till his death. This is why I feature his teaching on my channel.

glad you did not list Luther's Commentary on Romans. Many SDA are not aware that Commentary was written before Luther's Protestant understanding was developed. It was clear in His work in the Galatians commentary.

Death, destruction, perish are not dependent on the meaning of consume.

"Eternity does not *[ALWAYS]* mean eternity in the bible, *[SOMETIMES]* it means age."

You must not listen well. While he may not be holding a Bible, he is quoting accurately from it continuously. Perhaps you are not familiar with what ever standard you use to judge will be the standard by which you will be judged.

*This is the reasoning of a* --sophisticated attorney-- *well-informed and well-respected student of the Bible.*

You like Peter Hiett. I have a few of his videos on my channel. One I recorded in 2015 and some they recorded on Revelation just to name some

you would like my playlist by David Capes or a shorter discussion of David Capes position between NT Wright and Mark Lanier. found here: studio.kzbin.info7vbtnMVZGvM/edit?o=U

here is a discussion about David Capes material on how YHWH texts of Hebrew scripture is used by NT writers in connection with Jesus. studio.kzbin.info7vbtnMVZGvM/edit?o=U By the way there is an image of God. It is according to Genesis male and female (Mankind) Jesus being the Son of Man is the True Image. A book by Philip E Hughes with the same title is great on the subject. come let us reason together.

@@fleetwd1 that is an image that leads to hell

@@hajiabdulrahman3105 so God set up an image of Himself which leads people to hell? I am thankful your god is not my God. I guess you re not willing to reason. have a great time in your own bubble.

Jesus teaching was not to , a stern warning of idolatory with making image.

@@fleetwd1 should read the Gospel of Jesus dont go blind in belief unless you unbeliever of Jesus being a teacher

His commentary on Revelation before these videos were titled Crisis there were two volumes. they sold out but you may find them used. However his widow is republishing them as Restoration. they should be available soon on Amazon. the first is already on Amazon: Restoration: Commentary on the Book of Revelation. Volume One. Hermeneutic He does have other books on the subject of eschatology on Amazon here is a link to one of the best titled Coming Worldwide Calvary Christ AntiChrist. www.amazon.com/Coming-Worldwide-Calvary-Christ-AntiChrist/dp/1440172846/ref=sr_1_11?crid=3MUQE5F7WSQX8&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.nbcV6y4kmqSWu_KI_q30MNVFFHdsECTZyzQtteJEgRKuK3E_YRB41Q-bi-T1sZ6pSEubhVdPWMgaL9e4brpubI13tMpwEN9gU7J8-AKWuCP541UX_Bua75YxhGj0WDvjXD9Mj1GB4jBb1O7Xeqd6ORi79HD_Wbg3KAwcVyl0CTASqHQFTyhMyCk69zwipwKNSsTeukIVJ582VhD4cu_RIVdkPiUFRoXRAoM_69qCND4.gyZP915OJ193JeylucuS8iS5bxhvn9y4ERfbUdM9Q-E&dib_tag=se&keywords=Desmond+Ford+books&qid=1729310012&sprefix=desmond+ford+books%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-11

As was Prophesied a remnant did not reject Him. We have their witness in NT Scripture. All nations were engrafted with this remnant. We should understand this better but many think the Gentile church as separate. it is not. it is grafted in.

what you are saying is true of biblical prophets. however the gift of prophecy is said to be active until the coming. As Scripture affirms, "...your sons and daughters will prophecy and old men will dream dreams...." Joel 2:28 Now having said this, the bible also affirms the spiritual gift of prophecy is not identical with that of a biblical prophet. These who have the gift are not given inerrancy as are biblical prophets. Revelation says "the testimony of Jesus is Spirt of Prophecy." Rev 19:;10 When normal people give testimony to Jesus and the Holy Spirit enables this communication it is the spiritual gift of prophecy. This will continue until the coming of Christ gratefully because it is necessary to spread the gospel which is about what Jesus accomplished for all mankind. The Spirit of Prophecy enables faith in those who are receptive to the gospel .

realize it is the same rest you get by coming to Jesus while weary and finding your rest in Him. It should never be a burden. it should always be a release from burdens. Rest in His finished work of our salvation. His righteousness is ours by faith. We are given a legal standing through Him not by our works. However our works will reflect the righteousness He gives us freely showing we are His.. if you need anything further let me know.

@@fleetwd1 well I'm in a situation. It's difficult because Im still living with my parents and attending a church that has some gospel in it. I was brought up to keep Sunday very strictly. So obviously it became a burden to me especially as an unbeliever. Now since I've come to see Christ, I'm seeing that a Sabbath rest free from legalistic bondage, would actually be a great blessing. I'm planning on moving out this fall, and staying with a friend. We both kinda see the Sabbath as fulfilled in Christ, and so whether u rest on Saturday or Sunday wasn't a big issue to us, but now I'm having second thoughts. Saturday would be very difficult, because it would interfere with my job, and i would probably get scoffed at. And my buddy who I'm moving in with, would probably think I've fallen into some legalistic bondage. And I can't help but feel that maybe it is legalistic bondage to suddenly force a change like that in my life. Idk. Would it be something I can gradually move into? I mean even this coming week I'm gonna have to work on Saturday for my parents, and making and issue out that would blow up in my face really bad. And I don't have the energy or courage to deal with any of that. I guess I'll have to see how things play out. Practically speaking, how strict to I need to be when keeping the Sabbath? I know these sound like legalistic questions, but could I still help people or hang out?

@@fleetwd1 obviously I'm gonna have to pray about this. Also I don't really have any plans of joining a church building, because i can't and don't wanna. So many of em are scary. My friend and I and a few others are basically the "assembly" lol. Idk this stuff is so difficult.

@@343forwarduntodawn Edward and I spoke about this several years before he passed. his concern was not identical to yours because he had no work obligations but he was concerned about the family and friends who He went to church with on Sunday. First I had asked him will there be anyone in the kingdom who has not come to rest in Christ's finished work by faith. He agreed that there would not be any who had not come to rest in Christ in that way. I said that is the reality to which the Sabbath points. you can have knowledge of the right day and still fail to enter God's rest as is brought out in Hebrews 3 and 4. The only way to enter is by faith. without faith it is impossible to please Him. (God) But now is continuing to go to church with family and friends on Sunday forbidden? no. Edward said he felt convicted enough to begin holding Sabbath sacred for himself. I agreed. it is always important not to do anything legalistically. Legalism is wrong because it attempts to bring obedience that fails to meet the laws demand. We are complete in Christ accepted in the beloved and there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus whatever we end up doing it needs to be motivated out of love rather than out of obligation. Let God guide you through His Spirit. If He encourages you to take a stand He will provide the way. but be certain in your own mind that what you do is not out of obligation but out of love and gratitude for what Christ has accomplished for you. our faith should never be in our accomplishment but in His accomplishments. The Sabbath can be a blessing. It is identical with the blessing you receive when faith in Christ brings yo to rest in Him. When you hear aa good gospel sermon and you are at peace knowing your acceptance is secure. Both bring you into the presence of God through His Spirit which creates faith in Him. That is what Hebrews 3 & 4 is about it does mention the 7th day but the key is entering God's rest by faith. legalism is trying to enter by the flesh. I hope this helps in your search on how to go about the transition to a new way of thinking. The Sabbath can be a day of rehearsing the gospel. We are to remember it like we are ask to remember the Lord's supper. Those who do it legalistically never quite enter by faith. faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things unseen. It is meant to be a blessing to man just as the gospel is.

​@@343forwarduntodawn yes you do not have to join a church to begin respectfully observing the Sabbath. I did it alone for months. God led me. When i began meeting people who went to church on Sabbath I did not get as much out of it. the understanding I had been led to understand was deeper than most of these who were likeminded on the day but they were not seeing the gospel as clearly so it was more from the flesh than through the Spirit. The best book that captured the understanding that i was led to was written by a Jew. Abraham Hershel the Sabbath. the key idea was we enter by invitation into God's presence. We do not create rest by what we do, or don't do. We enter by invitation.

Yes they are both my favorites too. I started my channel with videos of Des and added Edward as soon as he agreed to let me offer his.

According to Scripture the punishment is death, destruction or something similar. Therefore it is eternal death, destruction or something similar. The first death which everyone with few exceptions experience results in Resurrection "some to eternal life and some to shame and eternal contempt." Dan 12:2 see also Acts 24:15; John 5:29. eternal judgment for the wicked which Jesus refers to in John 5:29 results in the second death which has no resurrection promised. therefore it is eternal punishment. People holding to ECT mistakenly read eternal punishment as an ongoing punishing. but that is misunderstanding the text. Scripture teaches eternal punishment is not eternal punishing. I hope this helps you understand the difference.

good point. you are correct. I just copied the title given

Edward did not affirm, or deny Soul Sleep. To him the biblical evidence was not as strong for that issue than it was for Conditional Immortality which is what he is here teaching. Others who teach it may hold to Soul Sleep but like I said he does not affirm it or deny it. Jokingly he said three days a week I believe it and three days a week I do not, and one day a week I rest from the issue.

@@fleetwd1 he sure was a funny fella!
