​@1962mrpaul in other words - symbolized the body and blood of Jesus although you imagine that its real.

Andys TRUTH = Demonically Inspired 👹Dribble, time is way Overdue, FLUSH 🚽Andys Perverted, Heretical POO

I don't see how you can step outside the bishop and still claim to be in "the" Church. Paul stresses unity over and over again. Where in the bible do you see anyone tell the Apostles or their successors, "I think you're wrong on X,Y or Z so I'm going to go rent a gymnasium and start my own 'church'? Absolutely nobody thought that nonsense.

George Whitefield, Charles Spurgeon, and James Kennedy were all great in evangelism and were Calvinists. I became a "Calvinist" as a teenager in the Methodist Church, reading the Bible. I asked AI ChatGPT: "According to the Bible, how can a sinner living in hatred of Jesus Christ use her/his "free will" to choose Christ for salvation?" Obviously, voting for Calvinism (Biblical Sovereign Grace Salvation theology, conservative Biblical Reformed Protestantism): ChatGPT said: "ChatGPT This is a profound theological question that touches on the nature of free will, human depravity, and God's grace. According to Scripture, a sinner living in hatred of Jesus Christ cannot, by their own unaided "free will," choose Christ for salvation. Let’s unpack this in light of biblical teaching: 1. Human Nature in Sin The Bible teaches that humanity, apart from Christ, is in spiritual bondage to sin. Romans 3:10-12: "None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one." Ephesians 2:1-3: Sinners are described as "dead in trespasses and sins," walking according to the course of the world and under the influence of the devil. A person in this state does not naturally desire God or His ways; their will is enslaved to sin (John 8:34). 2. Hatred Toward Christ John 15:18-25: Jesus states that the world hated Him before it hated His followers. This hatred stems from sin and rebellion against God. Romans 8:7: "For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot." A person who hates Christ is spiritually blind and unable to recognize their need for a Savior (2 Corinthians 4:4). 3. God's Sovereign Grace While human beings cannot, by their own free will, choose Christ, the Bible teaches that God works through His sovereign grace to draw sinners to Himself. John 6:44: "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him." Ephesians 2:4-5: "But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ-by grace you have been saved." 4. The Role of the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit convicts sinners of their sin and opens their hearts to the truth of the Gospel. John 16:8-11: The Spirit convicts the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment. Acts 16:14: The Lord opened Lydia's heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul. 5. Faith as a Gift The ability to believe in Christ is itself a gift from God. Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." Philippians 1:29:" For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake." 6. God Changes the Heart Through regeneration (being born again), God transforms the sinner's heart, enabling them to respond to Him in faith. Ezekiel 36:26-27: "And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh." John 3:3-8: Jesus emphasizes the necessity of being born of the Spirit to see and enter the kingdom of God. Conclusion A sinner living in hatred of Jesus cannot choose Christ by their natural "free will" because their will is bound by sin. However, God, in His grace, works to draw sinners to Himself. Through the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit, God grants a new heart and faith, enabling the sinner to turn to Christ for salvation. This truth highlights the depth of God’s mercy and the power of His grace in saving those who are otherwise unable and unwilling to come to Him."

Perhaps Noah not the best to suggest behavior not part of God’s election. Genesis 6:8b-9 (ESV) Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD. . . . Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God.

I hope I’m there too. At 85 it’s 4 yrs I’m stuck on very bad Dr prescribed drugs. I’ve lived thru wat you can’t imagine. I have daughter as caregiver. But when I beg her to not leave bc I feel sick. She goes anyway. I need to get thru today.

I was 5 when I was baptized. I remember speaking with the pastor about my faith in Jesus and my reason for baptizing. The church I am in now (at 70) does have baptism classes. One for adults and one for children. We do baptisms in the church probably quarterly....I'm not sure. My daughter in laws pastor wouldn't baptize her as an adult at first because he didn't believe maybe she had truly put her faith in Christ. Then at a later date he did baptize her. I don't know if she has received Jesus as her Saviour or not. I pray for her consistently. My thought is don't suffer the little children to come to Christ. That act or event is something that child can look back on as a commitment, a promise to the Lord which in times of confusion or even sin can be a stronghold.

No, you are the one that limit God and control Him by thinking you have the power over Jesus body and blood. You think that the priest has a magical, supernatural power to make the wafer to real body and juice to real blood. That's awful! That is idolatry at its best.

​@Straight-Outta-Scripture Christ is the Door meaning you need to go through Him but Jesus is not a physical door with frame, hinges, knob or any feature of a door. Jesus is the Bread of Life meaning if you have Him, not by gnawing and swallowing but by faith receiving Him as Lord and Savior, then He is with you and the Holy Spirit dwells in you.

Thank you this is so helpful.

Enjoyed the discussion. Informative, but lighthearted.

Thank God (he’s sovereign) the pope said what He did…. His statements show he is of the antichrist. He’s not the Holy Father He’s a sinful false teacher. I pray he accepts the true gospel.

The Muslims can’t because of the Quran! Muslims that don’t interpret the Quran and take it for face value, know that they can’t accept the Jews to exist in order for the end days to occur.

At the moment of TRANSSUBSTANTIATION, we are transported to the foot of the Cross. When Jesus looked at John, He was looking at US, and said "Behold your Mother". Mary is our Heavenly Mother.

"Unless you eat the Body of the Son of Man and drink His Blood, you shall not have [Eternal] Life within you.". The Catholic Eucharist gives the most grace. There have been many "Eucharistic Miracles over the centuries, and even in current days, prove that the Catholic Eucharist is the True Body and Blood of Jesus. !!! Very recent Miracles have occurred where Blood has oozed out of a consecrated Host.

The bible doesn't say this, if you're Christian the New Testament is quite clear gentiles and jews who believe in christ form new israel. The land and temple become unimportant compared to the new covenant.

It is a fact that that are MANY English Bible translations. Such as: Ampl., Anderson N.T., ASV, AV-7 N.T., Beck, Berean (L.B.), Berean (S.B.), CEB, CEV, CLV, Darby, Disc. N.T., EHV, E-R-V, ESV-2007, ESV-2011, the Faithful N.T., GNB, Godbey N.T., Goodspeed N.T., GW, Holman, ICB, ISV, JST, Jubilee, KJV, KJV-2000, KJ-21, KJ-3, Lamsa, Lexham, LSV, MASB, MEV, MKJV, MLV, NASB-2020, NASB-95, NASV-77, NASV-63 N.T., NET, N.Ev.T. N.T., NIV-84, NIV-2011, NJV, NKJV, NLT, NOG Bible, NRSV, NWT, OJB, the Org. N.T., Pickering N.T., Power N.T., Q-JV, Recovery!!!!!!!!!!, Rotherham, RSV, Sawyer N.T., the Scriptures, Stern, TLV, TNIV, Tyndale's N.T., U-ASV, Understandable N.T., the Unvarnished N.T., U-KJV, Vic N.T., Williams N.T., Worrell N.T., Wuest N.T., Exp., YLT, R-YLT, and others. How can one narrow-down all these translations and find the ones that have the MOST of what one believes has the MOST in it- of what makes for a good/faithful translation?

If you posit that Christ died for all universally, then God's intent is frustrated by the unwillingness of sinful men. I am convinced this is not in keeping with God's sovereignty over his creation.

In John 6, Jesus was not holding a bread and said this is my body nor carry a grape juice to say this is my blood. The eating and drinking is symbolical. The Jews thought that Jesus was talking of literal body and blood like the Catholics.

If you want to know what the Catholic Church teaches, ask the Catholic Church. His slip-shod and confused explanation is cringe-worthy.

Your narrative of acts 15 is incorrect I recommend that the viewer read Acts 15 for themselves. - the church did not call for Paul and Barnabus in from their mission - there was a conflict that arose that was not resolved in the Bible yet - paul and barnabus were appointed to meet with the council to solve the matter You will find that this resolution was resolved in the manner in which the church was instituted

The Entire Church and Every Bishop and the all the Apostolic Church's Believe in the Literal interpretation of John 6. This why Jesus established and Church and those with authority without that you lose the most important gift which is Jesus Literal Body Blood Soul and Divinity. Only a person who recieved Apostolic Succession by the laying on of hands can consecrate Bread and Wine hence all of these people have lost all the graces that God intended them to have how sad is that. God have mercy on us.

Christ is Real Present. Take and eat. This is my body..... is very clear

Oh, dear Joni, what a testimony you are to me, to continue in my pain!!!! Thank you!! You will get a big hug from me in Heaven, when we are FREE of all pain, all tears, all hardship. We will run together!! ❤

He’s “the man” to explain this? Get a Catholic who knows the Church’s teachings on this. It’s not a reenactment, it’s a representation. Christ does not get crucified again in the Mass. Read St Ignatius of Antioch on the Eucharist. John, Chapter 6. This guy is a former Catholic. He wouldn’t have left the Church if he understood it.

The Catholic Church is the magisterium the teacher. The church is teacher and the Catholic Church is the universal teaching. Why would anyone deny this truth. We enter in the crucifixion.

I think It starts in John 6:53 where Jesus says "unless you eat this flesh and drink His blood" and many walked away from his teachings. convert catholic here.

It might be helpful to also explain 1 Cor. 10:14-17...that text has always been a conundrum for me :)

I only have one problem with this teaching.. its not addressing the cause of sin in general..The reason Jesus went to calvary is not because King David had many wives... its also because of many other sins people had committed and blood of sheep and goat couldnt be enough to save mankind from Sin (Again which Sin in Particular) The sin that relates to man's overall fall... Jesus specifically is asked a question relating to divorce and He says In the beginning it was not so.. Beginning Refers to before the fall of man (1st Convenant btn God and man), We also know that in the first covenant man did not have sex with woman.. Job 14:16 Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. 2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow... So after the fall we know now man's nature is polygamous (fallen state) and this includes monogamists too.. Sex Law is by Polygamy in man.. If any man is against his own nature then he should go back to the beginning before the fall..

Agreed!

So what's the best translation? Top five

This was absolutely unclear to me. It's disturbing that anyone claiming to be formally educated can't clearly articulate a meaningful position.

Michael what are your thoughts on the NASB 2020?

Awesome content

There is no earthly authority for a local congregation belonging to Christ higher than their local Eldership. They too are just as under the authority of a 'thus saith the Lord' of the word of God as any other member. Christ is the head of the church and all authority is under him. Congregations of the Lord's church are to be autonomous and independent, while they can cooperate with each other. Use to be windows were made with individual panes of glass. You break one you don't break them all. They are independent. So, if the devil wanted to try and destroy the Lord's church, he would have to attempt to do it one congregation at a time. But if there is a fountain head of authority over multiple congregations, all he would have to do is corrupt those overseeing multiple congregations and could destroy hundreds with a single effort. God's design is better no matter how much man thinks they can improve on the organization of his church.

YES, GOD IS GOD FOR ALL, GOD IS CREATOR OF ALL HUMAN BEINGS, ALL LIVING THINGS.

Religion that is pure is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

Dr. E does not speak the truth.

1. Scripture is from God and God cannot lie. (2 Tim. 3:16; Tit. 1:2) 2. Predestination is of existing saints to adoption/glorification, not sinners to conversion. (Eph. 1:5, 11; Rom. 8:23, 29-30) 3. Election is to service, calling and purpose, not to salvation. (Isa. 42:1; Acts 9:15; Rom. 11:28). Eph 1:4 says, "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:" The Calvinist reword is "chosen TO BE in him unto salvation." "Holy and without blame" describe quality of service, and the word, "should" involves an exhortation to be such, not a decree. Salvation is not mentioned in Eph 1:4. 4. Adoption is the future redemption of the body, not conversion. (Rom. 8:23, 15-17; Gal. 4:1-6, 1 John 3:2) 5. Sinners become sons of God through the new birth, not through adoption. (John 1:12-13) 6. There are two callings: Gospel and vocational, not inward or outward or effectual or general, etc… (2 Thess. 2:14; Eph. 4:1; Rom. 8:28; 2 Cor. 5:20) 7. Atonement is not synonymous with salvation. Christ’s death reconciles the world in universal atonement but Christ's life is what saves. (Rom. 5:10; 1 Cor. 15:17; Col 1:20) 8. It is a false dichotomy to assert that the universal set of theological thought is divided into Calvinism and Arminianism. We Bible believers reject both. Arminianism is Calvinism light. False dichotomies are used by the Calvinist to map the opponent to an unpalatable label and thus infer that Calvinism is the only alternative. 9. God is pleased to save those that believe, not cause belief in those he saves. (1 Cor. 1:21; Rom. 10:9-10) 10. Grace is a ubiquitous reality, not a selective force. (Tit. 2:11-13) 11. Grace is just fine on its own as found in scripture. Any modifier other such as "sovereign," "irresistible," "common," or "prevenient" indicates superimposition of an ideology by someone who is either confused or attempting to confuse. (Rom. 3:24; 5:15; Jn. 1:16; Tit. 2:11-13) 12. If one is born with total inability to receive God's life-giving truth and then passed over by the calvigod who unconditionally elected not to extend the gnostic spark of regeneration to that one to enable/cause faith, then there is no better excuse (Rom 1:20.) And the author of this post is more compassionate than the Calvinistic caricature of God, calvigod. 13. God's Word and God's life-giving truth of the gospel are the enablers of faith - "...the holy scriptures, which are ABLE to make thee wise unto salvation..." "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name." The 2nd person "thee" and "ye" apply to YOU, whoever you are. 14. The gift in Eph 2:8 is eternal life, not faith (Rom 6:23.) 15. God is all loving, He loves all (without exception.) (John 3:16).

Nope, the “doctor” in the vid is lying

Until the pastor falls into sin(exposing your churches to lawsuits) then the true modern church elders ( those who determine church policies and doctrines and practices)....accountants, public relations experts, lawyers, marketing directors...we teach sin not a big deal. This may seem scattered, the point being that we don't emphasize holiness until it affects our pocketbooks. Then we get " legalistic " and remove offensive predators. But isn't it possible child abusers are merely living out their false beliefs ( at least sometimes). Some of these people brag that they are advanced spiritually past "fearing God " to loving God and people....They teach God is their " buddy" and even ask their advice. Interesting times we live in.. I believe ...from scripture ....maintain holy fear (respect) for God ....even applies to the ministry. Be sure the Lord delights in mercy....He resist the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

Interesting discussion...didn't really answer. The question has been reframed by modern antinomian reactionaries . Why does Jesus say you must seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness.....seek to enter the straight gate...(.Paul ) be holy as God is holy...( revelation;Jesus)wicked people excluded from heaven. I believe that it is because true faith is born out of repentance not to be repented of. ...it is an informed way of living..certainly hard to articulate without being labeled a legalist. Considering this that Paul taught that all who would live Godly in Christ Jesus would suffer persecution. I think the modern preachers in America know they have to play nice to get paid....however, when we fall to communicate the truth of God and what He expects of us we are complicit in people's spiritual shipwreck....even our own. You won't get persecution for telling people that we can continue in sin that grace may abound....you more likely will be appointed chief elder. (See continued part ).

He’s not really a brother in Christ

Dont beat around the bush- Andy is an apostate

Wow thank you

A Pastor's role is to teach the SCRIPTURE. The Bible makes countless references to avoiding the pressure of the culture of the day and requires a STRICT ADHERENCE to the truth of the WORD. God's word is HOLY and should not be mixed, mistaken, or muddled with the common counterfeit messages of our time.

Enjoyed this teaching. Where can I find more studies on the Bible. Proverbs. Ecclesiastes. Etc.

Actually, wasn't it commanded that the brother would do this rather than a provision?

Trust and obey Jesus as my Savior!

CHRISTMASNITE by APOLOGETIX a great song for everyone to look up
