The Bible’s with the boxing gloves and shoes 🤣🤣

Just to play this differently, what if the CEO caused a death in the family of Luigi, then according to the OT law Luigi would be fully justified, especially if it was a decision the ceo made in which he was aware of the consequences even if it was accidental the family members were allowed to kill the one responsible if they had not fled to a city of refuge now we are not under the OT law and don't have cities of refuge and have no evidence that that is the case but it makes you think

It is true that many scholars find the Bible to be as accurate an account of ancient histories as MANY OTHERS. It must be pointed out in all fairness that in almost ALL cases, they were referring to only the Old Testament. Secondly, Paulnever even met Jesus, and his accounts were second hand testimony of others several decades later. Who also were not there. This is fact. As far as the argument that those who refuted the resurrection could simply produce the body still in the tomb, isn't even to be considered because there was no mention at all of a resurrection at that time. No mention of any such possibility was even mentioned until long after. Not even the Roman's, who were meticulous historians, made any mention of such. Such would have made it on their radar. In fact Jesus was written of by the Roman's, but not more or less than other political dissidents at the time. Sorry, but everything just stated IS historical facts. Don't crucify me for it. I didn't invent the actual facts. They didn't even refer to Jesus as Jesus Christ until the council of nicea over two hundred years later under Roman emperor Constantine . Sorry, but again, fact.

Amen pastor!

The Bible teaches that government meet ‘eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth’ justice. Christians that are victimized are to forgive on a personal level but certainly we should allow biblical justice to run its course even while we forgive them personally.

Thank you for the practical ways we can start or improve our prayers. I need to add more praise time. I love writing down specific petitions and being encouraged when I can highlight or put a star next to answered prayer (and see how His way was even bigger than what I prayed for)

sin = transgression of God's law -- 1 John 3:4 Ex 20:8-11 is about the Lord's day, the 7th day Sabbath, not sunday, which is a day too late in Christianity.

May God bless you more and more

Just another religious box for people to ✅ off here…blah blah blah. These guys make this thing so hard…

Great plan for the new year. Prayer is so important to the believer and God. May 2025 be the year of prayer.

This is such a powerful and timely message.This challenge not only invites spiritual growth but also fosters a deeper sense of community and reflection. In a world that often feels increasingly divided and distracted, this call to pause and reconnect with our faith is incredibly needed. Thank you for sharing such an inspiring vision!

2025 can be a year of prayer and renewal! Perhaps Pastor’s most important suggestion is scheduling time for prayer. It’s so easy to fill our time with trivialities. Scheduling time and protecting that time is an essential step toward a deeper relationship with God.

Once again, Pastor Johnson hit the nail on the head. This short video is packed with practical steps that we can utilize to make our prayer life more meaningful.

Great video. I have been planning a theme of prayer for 2025 in our church. I agree your points in this video.

I am going to apply some of these especially adding much more praise prayers without praying for petitions.

Amen ! In 2025 I will be praying more and reading my bible more . Thank you Pastor .

Amen. We need to pray more. We don't know which way our lives will go or our nation but he does. I'll pray for this ministry as well for a fruitful year!

I pray when I wake up and throughout the day, starting with the Lord’s Prayer and during the day usually for help getting my work completed for my employers and thanking Him for giving me strength, others at my factory probably think I’m talking to myself or have an earbud in and am on the phone but it’s myself praying to God, my prayers usually consist of the same requests of watching over my family and those in need, his children in Israel, our nation, our fighting forces etc, also I try not to ramble , never written my prayers down I will try that, thank you Pastor!

I am going to give this a shot, but I am notoriously poor at establishing a routine at anything. 😊

I’d like to believe, but I’m not totally convinced. I already agree with a lot of Christian teachings and believe in a god of some kind, but my intuition is pushing back on the resurrection story.

My take away from your presentation here would be that you would not agree with Mark Ward then !

AMEM AND AMEN!

All I can say is how can GOD Bless a nation where people celebrate cold blooded murder? People love the mercy of GOD and HIS love and grace but have totally forgotten HIS justice.

The KJV Bible was also translated from Greek translations and has many flaws as a result. I get it that the KJV is a direct translation of word and not of ideals like many modern forms of Scripture. However, after having read a direct translation from Aramaic there are many misinterpretations by the Greeks that have a significant impact on The Word. First and foremost is The Messiah’s name. He is Yeshua Ben Yeosef, Yeshua Ha’ Mashiach Yeshua The Messiah. Jesus is not His name and during His time on Earth would never have answered to the name Jesus. I have friends named Jan. I don’t call then John because that’s the English translation. Their name is Jan. The Messiah’s name is Yeshua. There is indeed power in His name. Another very important misinterpretation of the scriptures are the words Our Lord said on the cross. “ Eli Eli Imana sabachtani!” does not translate to “ Father, why have you forsaken me?”. The Aramaic translation actually states “ Father, Father, for this I was kept!” meaning “ for this is my purpose- the prophecy is thus fulfilled. Why would Yeshua have any doubt when He was totally aware of whom He was and His divine purpose long before He appeared as Yeshua Ben Yeosef? Christ never had any doubt whatsoever. Another misinterpretation by the Greeks- the Aramaic words for camel and rope are the same. Why anyone would even consider attempting to thread a camel through the eye of a needle seems quite remarkable. To attempt to thread a rope or twine too large to actually pass through the eye of a needle seems way more probable. There are many more to be found so before we start shooting down interpretations of which Bible is better than this or that it would be more beneficial to source scriptures that are direct translations from the original texts interpreted by those familiar with the language and culture of the time and place of Yeshua Ha’ Mashiac. After all we as believers seek The Truth. YHWY is God Almighty. Yeshua is King of Kings, Lord of Lords. He is returning. Amen.

Thank you, Pastor!

The Textus Receptus is NOT what the church have used for two thousand years. Textus Receptus is a compilation of manuscripts (much like NA28) done by Erasmus of Rotterdam in 16th century. It contains the best manuscripts back then but there is flaws. For example, because he was competing against others that did the same thing (he wanted to have his compilation of the Greek as basis for all translations at that time) but Erasmus lacked a manuscript of Revelation that was complete (the one he had was lacking the last vers of revelation) he went to the Latin translation of the bible and translated the last vers of Revelation from Latin back to Greek. We can actually see that because that verse matches Vulgata but not the majority text that is used by the orthodox church. And because King James Version is based on Textus Receptus it carries the same flaw. I do not say KJV is bad, but it is not the best translation out there. And furthermore, English is not capable to contain the full meaning of the Greek text in one translation because the language itself is lacking. There are tempus in Greek that’s not present in English at all for example. To use multiple different translation is a way to handle this because different translation can help layout the puzzle. Take it from someone who actually reads Greek.

This is complete BS. Christmas has NOTHING to do with Christ. How he sits there talking crap while knowing this.... only shows he's false!!!!

What a nice thought, Pastor Johnson! God has been good to us !

Ezekiel 33,11 "I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked: But that the wicked turn from his way and live !" Sorry, but if you kill the wicked, he will not have the chance to turn from his wicked ways. You deny him any chance for rehabilitation !! 💔

Genesis 9,6 "Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man." So we start to live under the law again and not under grace?!! Gal.5,4 "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the Law; You are fallen from grace." ❤ No mercy for the murderer Luigi Mangione? It's horrible what he did, of course! The BLOOD OF JESUS isn't enough? There has even more blood to be shed as a sufficent atonement?? 💔

Just because something is more consistent does not mean it is the truth. yes the TR is more consistent but it is Way and I mean Way later the Alexandrian text tradition and the papyrus. What I do not understand is how something that is later can be more authentic than something closer to the original

Christ never commanded us to use the KJV

yeah as it says in the Gospel: Behold use the King James Bible as modern translation are bad and not good. nevermind that does not exist. KJV is fro 1611 It uses archaic english and to be honest has some misleading translations. people don't "Transition" from KJV because of some malicious intent its because The KJV just is as good a translation as the modern Translations. and BTW no translation is inspired scripture. the inspired scripture is only is the Greek. Because a lot of meaning is lost in translation

Brother, please learn textual Criticism. the KJV is based on late Majority text which has additions. The ESV NIV and others are based on older manuscripts such as Codex sinaiticus, Vanticanus etc and the papyrus from within 200 years of Christ.

God recently changed/saved my life with 1 John 4 last week. I never knew what it was like to approach life from love and not fear. I feel like I wasted 60 years. I must be really thick-headed.

I like this man of God I'm also King James only for the same reason everything he spoke about in his video I have personally researched and it is true modern translations are nothing but perversions the King James Bible is a word for word translation

Well said. I would add that the command in Genesis precedes the Mosaic Law and is applicable to all of mankind. in fact, this statement is the first instance in Scripture of man being authorized by God to engage in governing the behavior of man. Thus capital punishment can be seen as *_foundational_* to human government, and is recognized as such in the passage in Romans 13. Nor is it a matter of God granting permission to exercise capital punishment. Rather, it is a COMMAND.

I agree. Christmas time does make it easier to start a gospel conversation.

I think Christmas is a wonderful opportunity for the Gospel. It’s good to platform the Gospel with the focus of the moment whenever we can. Some emphasize Christmas as a “friends and family” holiday, but what about strangers, the poor, the lame? They should be included and sought out for the Gospel’s sake. You can start with your next door neighbor! (The one who frustrates you because he is “lame” at keeping up with his yard!)

Very helpful, its a sin I’ve struggled with the most.

I have a 1611 kjv bible thats been passed down through my family for decades. I have my own person kjv bible myself and it never failed me. Question is the Nkjv also corrupt ? And what if someone new to the faith cant quite understand the kjv bible??

So…obviously you can’t have a society if people can run around and kill other people like this , yes the death penalty is warranted if he is indeed the one that committed this crime. Isn’t this really just a “common sense” conclusion tho ? I guess I’m confused as to your motives in making a video like this as for the most part judging by the comments in other videos of yours over the past year , it would be impossible to conclude anything other than you are preaching to your church members. Do they need to be reminded that God is against killing ? No probably not. It’s almost like he’s using dude’s N.I.L. to garner more clicks , am I missing something here…

The idea that all these people are calling for the death of all those that have a job title simply because the individual didn't get what they feel entitled to is crazy.

The primary purpose of judicial punishment is not rehabilitation or deterrence (although capital punishment will no doubt deter some). The primary purpose is retribution in proportion to the offense.

I agree completely.

Tough topic, but handled Biblically. Thank you again, Pastor, for proclaiming the Truth.

Great insights on this topic. Actions have consequences. Our mandate is to protect all life.

Agree completely Pastor Johnson. Thank you for saying this.

This whole situation is sad and the Bible is clear: guilt in cases of murder requires the death penalty. There’s no getting around it. But I often think that a series of failures led to this type tragedy. Family failures. Mental health support failures. And even church failures. What? Yes. The church has failed to be aggressive in evangelism and bold preaching. Many churches are happily distracted by secondary issues and evangelism isn’t even on their radar screen. Everyone gives lip service to it, but few are engaged in reality. Ron Artest is my favorite NBA player. Some are surprised I’d say that. But I see him as a bus kid who nobody reached. Things would have been different for Ron (Mega World Peace) had someone reached him first Christ. I’m not removing personal responsibility from the guilty. No way. But I am saying that we need to redouble our evangelist efforts. Evangelism results in transformation. While many churches are bickering among themselves about personal preferences, our world is going to Hell. Let’s make Christmas a time for sharing Christ, not just cookies!

Translation reflects tradition and it deserves to be preserved. Only the KJV (and DRC for Catholics) are perfect for devotional purposes IMHO. Let all the scholarly interpretation come in a separate book for whose who would like it.
