Hi Chaz, Thanks for commenting. You are touching on another problem in the traditional church where leadership see their position as their *job* but that is not how the NT describes their role as a leader. The church is a family and not a business where christian can seek to make a living off of their spiritual gifts as so many pastors do which is violation of the scriptures. Yes, when it comes to one’s secular profession like being a Dr or governmental leader, titles are fine as that isn’t dealing with the body of Christ. Christ wasn’t condemning using titles in one’s profession, but when it comes to the body of Christ. That is why he said “You are all brethren” which draws attention to the spiritual realm and not the secular realm and its respective job relationships. I mean, I’m fine calling my medical Dr “Doctor” as its a *professional relationship* where he has gone through sufficient schooling I’m *paying him money* to perform a service for me. That is *not* to be how I relate to a pastor as it’s a professional relationship where I’m paying him money to perform a service for me. When a man insists on using a title in the body of Christ, he is communicating he is somehow more special / important than the rest of the body. This is made even more clear when during a typical service, he is often the one doing all of the talking which is another violation of other Biblical principles. If I was with a group of friends and there was a certain topic that arose we all had knowledge about and I insisted on doing 98pct of the talking, I think many of my friends would rightfully think I was a bit full of myself and more important than everyone else. Its not much different with the traditional church other than the corruption is institutionalized where people are conditioned to think they should regularly sit in silence where one man typically dominates the meeting with his long monologues which is another unbiblical tradition. Why did Paul, Peter nor any other man of God in the NT use titles when referring to themselves?

@@JaguerRhye I see how it doesn’t fully line up with jobs titles and how we are supposed to be a family, but Jesus gave Peter a title in calling the Rock, the foundation of His Church. Peter was designated to lead Christ’s Body by Christ, Himself, and the line is followed through Apostolic Succession leading to the Pope. The title is not there to show someone has more importance, but instead it’s like a family, where there is your father, your grandfather, great grandfather and etc. These people have just been given this title to differentiate them from other people, but to instead your experience.

@@chazthespaztheweirdguyI don’t agree that Christ was giving Peter some kind of title. No where does Peter refer to himself with such a title in his writings. Anyway, it seems you’re a Roman Catholic which explains why you will differ with me as your ultimately authority is not the Bible alone but I sense you hold to church tradition or certain decrees by the church / pope as being equally authoritative as the Bible?

Hi David, Thanks for commenting. Yes, I believe the Psalm 83 battle does relate to the Ob 1:18 text. I just don't think the Psalm 83 battle occurs at armageddon. I believe it might actually occur before the tribulation. I plan to make a video on Psalm 83 eventually.

Thanks for chiming in Give!

Hi Tes, Thanks for commenting. Which problem are you referring to? Yes, God has all power, but he also has all authority and its his right to tell us that we are to care for others. Do you agree?

Thanks for chiming in! I appreciate it.

Hi J, Thanks for commenting. The gathering Christ speaks of in Matt 24 isn't referring to gathering the church, but to the elect jews. The exhortations Christ gives in Matt 24 are quite jewish in their orientation as it most of the book of Matthew which was written to a jewish audience. Consider that in Matt 23 Christ spoke of his desire to gather the jews (not gather the church). Matt 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! That gathering never happened back then because the jews rejected him. But there will be a jewish remnant who will mourn over their sin and turn to Christ and it is those jews who will be gathered by Christ. This is the gathering that is in view in Matt 24:29-21. This gathering is a fulfillment the various promises in the OT which speak of God gathering the jewish remnant at the time of the end. I can site some of those texts if you like. 1 Cor 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. I assume your argument is that the last trump Paul speaks of is the same last trumpet in Revelation? That wouldn't make sense since Revelation wasn't even written when Paul wrote 1 Corinthians. When Paul speaks of the last trumpet, he is likely referring to the feast of trumpets. The feast of trumpets entailed the blowing of a trumpet 100 times and the final trumpet blast was considered the last trumpet and was a particularly longer trumpet blast. Is it more likely that that Paul is referring to the feast of trumpets (which was a known, revealed reality at the time) unlike the 7th trumpet of Revelation which was something that not even been revealed to the church as of yet. In addition, the 7 trumpets in Revelation are associated with judgements falling upon the earth. The last trumpet Paul speaks of is not really in the context of a judgement falling upon the earth, but that of the blessed hope of the rapture. Since the context and purpose of the trumpet blast in Paul’s writing and Revelation are different, I don’t see any solid reason for the idea that these 2 trumpet blasts are referring to the same thing, The fact that Paul had the feast of trumpets in mind is further supported by the fact that he speaks of other feasts earlier in 1 Corinthians. Again, since Revelation was not written and not revealted yet when Paul wrote 1 Cor, Paul would have no knowledge of the 7 trumpets of Revelation.

@@JaguerRhye , Thank you for your response. I appreciate it.

@@jwhitty14 You're welcome J. Note that I used to hold to a post tribulation rapture position as well and the Matt 24 texts were the main ones I would use to defend it. But after some study, I just don't think its referring to the rapture at all.

Hi Rebecca, Thanks for chiming in. Are you referring to the millions of dollars spent on such thing as church staff/ pastor's salaries? If so, yes, that is another issue I've tackled a lot on my channel.

Hi Give, Thanks for commenting! Hopefully, this video will get christians thinking a bit more about how money is spent in the name of God. I'm still hoping some christians might attempt to answer the question I posed.

Thanks for commenting. I’m familiar with that argument but I don’t agree. The entire hour of trial is an expression of the wrath of God. Consider that all the seals that are broken which result in profound suffering on the earth are ultimately broken by God in heaven. On a related note, the 4 horsemen are sent forth from heaven. Would you agree?

Note that there will be many believers who are persecuted during the tribulation, but they are people who are saved during the tribulation and not believers from the church age. Do you believe the first 5 seals are a manifestation of God's wrath?

Thank you Give! I appreciate the support. This is such an important message that so many christians don't care too much about.

Hi America, Yep, I go on their on occasion. Are you America Jonesy from CH?

Or they disliked it because Ur saying dumb shi* 😂

@@kodiebrown6263thanks for commenting. What do you think is dumb? So you don’t agree with me in that everyone is sensitive? I sense you’re just sensitive and you got your feelings hurt because I basically contradicted a belief you have and you can’t refute it so you just choose to ridicule?

Thank you for the nice compliment. I guess the many years I wore braces paid off. :)

Yea, I agree! Thanks for commenting!

I’m unclear what you are disagreeing with. I’m not sure if you believe the Bible is Gods word, but If so, do you have any scriptural arguments for your position to refute what I said in the video or are you just interested in sharing your unsupported personal attacks? Lastly, how much time have you spent studying the prophets like Isaiah or Ezekiel over the past couple of years? Im just curious if you’re coming from a place of education

Hi Rayan, I'm not sure if you watched the video, but I'm not suggesting that the nation of Israel never does anything wrong. I actually indicated that the 1st gathering entails God gathering jews from the around the world when they are in a state of unbelief and uncleanness. It is to be expected this state, the people of Israel would engage in all kind of wickedness. It is only during the tribulation period where God will begin to do a work of regeneration in the nation which will result in a national generation. I'm not sure if you believe the Bible is the word of God, but do you have any scriptural arguments against what I mentioned in the video?

Hi James, I'm not sure if you believe the Bible is the word of God, but do you have any scriptural arguments against what I mentioned in the video?

When I speak of 2 gatherings, I’m not suggesting that all the Jews gathered to the land from the nations of the world will be scattered back to all those countries so that Israel is vacant and then those Jews are gathered a second time back to the land. I’m just asserting that total restoration of Israel will basically entail 2 gatherings where the first gathering entails God gathering largely unbelieving Jews. But then after the tribulation God gathers more Jews from around the world who will be believing Jews whom came to faith in Christ during the tribulation. Some passages in the prophets refer to the first gathering and others to the second gathering. The context generally makes this clear

Edomites are descendants of Esau. Jacob’s descendants are Israelites. What are your thoughts on Romans 11:28 which speaks of the nation of Israel being beloved of God? “As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.”

@@JaguerRhye I think the Babylonian Talmud says enough..

@@a.i17 I'm not sure if you believe the Bible is the word of God, but what are your thoughts on Romans 11:28 which seems to speak of the nation of Israel being beloved of God even though they are enemies in the sense that they are largely estranged from God as a nation and don't have fellowship with Christ. Do you believe God has a special love for Israel due to the promises he made to the fathers which are Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? “As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.”

@@JaguerRhye Have you read the Talmud?

Hi Wilma, Yes, and actually I believe Solomon had about 700 wives and 300 concubines and that was an area where he sinned against God as he was multiplying wives. But this actually gives more credibility to his statement about not finding one good woman in 1000 as it seems he literally knew 1000 women intimately. And yes, my understanding is that Solomon was seduced into idolatry in order to please many of his wives. Solomon like all prominent men of God in the OT had their faults / sins.

Sadly, many if not most people are indeed full of their own crap and make all kinds of bloated claims about themselves.

Hi Thelma, Thank you for sharing that song. I listened to it and I got choked up. Powerful song that I think many men can resonate with. Thank you again.

Hi Jose, According to the Bible, both jews and gentiles had a hand in killing Jesus. Have you read the New Testament? I don't know if you believe in the Bible, but what are your thoughts on Rom 11:28 which speaks about how jews are enemies but at the same time beloved of God: Rom 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.

Hi Panther, I don't know if you believe the Bible is the Word of God, but God doesn't seem to think a 2 State solution is the best method as Joel 3:2 seems to allude to. Scott

Si h look another one of those stupid WHITE TALIBANGELISTS 😂

Yes, I would agree that its very important to listen and also to be sensitive to the emotional issues others have. If you comfortable sharing, has the loss of your sister affected the way you interact with people who are depressed?

Hi bnf, Thank you for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts. I appreciate it. I'm sorry for your loss. Feel free to elaborate on anything you feel could help others who have loved ones who are depressed. Thank you again.

Yes, the collections that were taken up were generally for the poor! Even the elders of Ephesus were called to work like Paul did to support themselves and also support the weak: Acts 20:34-35 "Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive."
