# # # # # # Genesis 1 is ELOHIM (Lucifer and the fallen angels). They made this realm. They made man in their image. (tares) Man is an idol, a trap to hunt angels.

Jesus Christ came into THEIR kingdom to reconcile fallen angels unto Himself. We are the fallen angels (ELOHIM) kept in DNA chains of darkness.

Excellent teaching!

Excellent

Wonderful 🙏

9 Universal Questions: Becoming Master Teachers 1. Theology 2. Ecology 3. Anthropology 4. Christology 5. Hemartiology (sin) 6. Ecclesiology 7. Revelation (Bible) 8. Soteriology 9. Eschatology

It is occupied Palestine 🆓🆓🍉🍉🍉🍉

What a fabulous theory! Definitely one to ponder.

Not being contentious but I would argue the top 5 passages are: 1)Genesis 3 2)Isaiah 14/Fall of Lucifer 3)The testing of Abraham 4)The testing of Jesus in the Wilderness 5) Galatians 5:16-24 Most of the passages in this video are an applied theology concerning personal sin. They are not an objective/summary look at the fundamental nature of sin in the universe apart from ourselves. Sin as we know it, it not how God knows it.

lol prots whole identity is centered around Catholicism 😂😂

Great explanation

Kindly please, I want part two in this topic.Meanwhile be blessed.

Christian apologists are nothing but slick liars pimping for the religion business and their depraved God.

Thank you Dr. Durst! Miss you

Former dispensational here who now believes in preterist amill. I'm glad you didn't try to convince anyone of a position as this is a hot button topic. I know its an oldie but I still wanted to comment. I grew up in a Pentecostal church and reading all the Left Behind books. When I heard about positions other than dispensationalism (ironically from Mike Winger who still believes in it), I researched tthe topic, ACTUALLY read the books, and came to the.conclusion that preterism is the correct answer. And by preterism I don't mean "hyper" or "full" but that Revelation was John's olivet discourse, the evidence it was written after 70 AD are faulty, and the implication is that the 1000 years are the indefinite period of time before Jesus returns to Earth to make all things right, until then we'll have times of strife and times of peace, but humanity and the church will still be here when He returns.

Thank you, my dear professor Rick, that was a great explanation. Blessings!

So if I'm _predestined_ to be _lost_ does that mean I was doomed before birth and cannot be saved?

Christianity is evil.

How to enroll in your seminary?

1 cor. 5 put him outside the church... treat as unbeliever . How are we to treat an unbeliever? With the love of God. Hmm

Classical dispensationalim for me Robert breaker is a fantastic teacher

Grow in salvation. God is love. It’s personal relationship with Jesus. God loves us. We must accept what we’ve done and turn back to God. The Bible told us the devil came to steal, kill and destroy. Jesus said, we can’t live without daily bread. When you’re living apart from God, YOU are choosing (creating) a life without God

New Covenant Whole Gospel: Let us now share the Old Testament Gospel found below with the whole world. On the road to Emmaus He said the Old Testament is about Him. He is the very Word of God in John 1:1, 14. Awaken Church to this truth. Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by husband unto them, saith the LORD: Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1 (Gal. 3:16)? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel (John 1:49)? Why has the modern Church done a pitiful job of sharing the Gospel with modern Orthodox Jews? Why would someone tell them they are God's chosen people and then fail to share the Gospel with them? Who is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15? Who is the "son" in Psalm 2? Who is the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53? Who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34? Who would fulfill the timeline of Daniel chapter 9 before the second temple was destroyed? Why have we not heard this simple Old Testament Gospel preached on Christian television in the United States on a regular basis? Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart. Let us now learn to preach the whole Gospel until He comes back. The King of Israel is risen from the dead! (John 1:49, Acts 2:36) Watch the KZbin videos “The New Covenant” by Bob George, and David H.J. Gay.

I'm a Christian. But I actually came here not for religious reasons. More so I wanted to be educated on what the difference of all the modernisms there were. Thank you I found them enlightening. However sir you forgot to mention the fourth category which is meta-modernism.

This false doctrine will lead many to hell.

So many people think we who believe the bible, hold some kind of attitude OVER them. If they only knew how humbling the bible saying this is a fact makes us. First thing we think is "Why me Lord? You know what a wretch I am. People say God don't make robots and I am just a robot to believe the bible. Hey, call me a slave or a robot, I don't care as long as Jesus is in charge. Would I be a slave of Christ? Sure! A robot owned by Christ? Sure!

God bless brother Rick thank you for this

Sorry dude. You do not have a full grasp of Modernism, let alone Postmodernism. You do not know the monster in which you are professing allegiance.

Were we in the "modern" period one could state the same argument for it: "Biblically there is a connection between God and man since the man was created in gods image."

wow. this is phenomenal.

2 Peter 2:21-22 King James Version 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

There is a definitive answer for the Christian if we look to the future.. If "No free will to choose" were true, then the Judgment Seat of Christ and the Great White Throne Judgment (which haven't happened yet) would not be necessary. What's to judge?, Why have them? If they were held they would be a joke -- a kangaroo court and a sham. How could souls be judged and held responsible for their actions if their actions had been predestined with no free will? That would make God so cruel and unjust . Predestination makes God a Machiavellian: the end justifies the means, no matter how devious or unjust. Our beliefs/choices make a difference! Think on these things… ...whatsovever is JUST

Thanks Doctor Durst!

Thus saith the Lord Jesus Christ, “None of My sheep have free will.” I am forever praising and believing Jesus Christ and this is pleasing to God.

Hello! Thank you!

You want to know what turns off the lost? I can tell you, because I know, I was there. I had heard about these teachings prior to getting saved. I was so convinced, that I was going to get saved no matter what, if I was a " chosen one", or be damned for all of eternity, if I was not a "chosen one". That thinking led me to not even think about it, I didn't want to think about it, cause it was so confusing. For I knew passages also that declared, whosoever will, whoever repents and believes the gospel. How does a lost person rationalize that? They cant. And what kind of an answer does the lost person get, they are both true, its a paradox, you cant understand it. Have you never read, God is not the author of confusion? 1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. ---- Here is what the word of God says as well. 2 Peter 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. --- Those that are unlearned cannot understand hard passages, which leads to destruction. You, and everyone else that teaches this false doctrine of election, and have no knowledge of the true message of election. If you are a true born again believer, you are supposed to know. There are no contradictions, or confusion in the word of God. Here is one verse that explains what chosen is. 2 Thessalonians 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: ---- Chosen through believing the truth. God predetermined to save through believing the gospel. Not the other way around, as this false doctrine of election teaches, which is, chosen to believe the gospel. Think of the president, who is called the elected official. Was he called the elect before or after he was elected? After he was elected. How was he elected? Through the electoral process. What is the process? The most votes. He who is the elect, is elect because he got the most votes through the electoral process. What is Gods plan of salvation? To save man through the death, burial, and resurrection of his Son Jesus Christ. Those who repent and believe the Gospel are the elect ones, the chosen ones. Chosen to be saved in him before the foundation of the world. We who are the chosen, the elect, are so because of Gods process, repent and believe the Gospel. We are not the elect until then. Study every verse with elect, chosen, predestination. You will see that God's provision, his plan of salvation, is the foundation for those that can say, I am chosen in him, through him. It harmonizes with scripture, whosoever will is to all. It is not a paradox, nor is it confusing, accept to those who are unlearned.

Postmodernity began long before and is quickly coming to an end after 2000. Deconstructionism is a function of postmodernity not modernity! How can you talk about Michael Creighton and not Derrida, Foucault, and Lyotard? Postmodernism isn't about ecology. Its about affirming narrative and recognizing context. Ecology happens to be one narrative being affirmed (alongside feminism, liberation, LGBTQ and so many other narratives). You've missed the point of postmodernity completely.

You would think that a professor of theology would know that foreknowing in Greek is a verb not not a noun. And you would think that a professor would define the Greek words since it wasn't written in English.

I think we need to have a more rational and efficient pre-modern time now. Look at how gender structures are ruined by the modern feminists...

So Good thanks Rick

Dogmatic

Theologians are not the most effective on the field quite the opposite. I am sure that the late Derek Prince whom I watched daily has changed far more lives than John MacArthur with his theology which confuses even himself. Theological prejudices prevent the latter from embracing wholeheartedly the will and work of God in our generation.

Theology is man made and isn't the word of God. Many theologians equate theology to the word of God hence all the problems. Most theologians have taken upon themselves the task of answering tricky questions, which are of little bearing to the Christian faith and aren't able to answer them satisfactorily I am afraid. What good does it make to someone struggling with an addiction to know that God has preselected a privileged few for salvation and that our faith is entirely the work of God and that our personal will is discarded in the entire process. Do you understand how damaging is that. I myself was a Calvinist for a few years so I know what I am talking about. If anything theology has done more harm to the body of Christ than it has done good.

Anyone notice there are 666 likes? Lol

The Scripture is quite clear regarding this issue: What about the spiritual condition of those who have never heard the gospel message? (infants, the severely mentally challenged, and the heathen) Biblical truth #1. All people (including infants, the severely mentally challenged, and the heathen) are lost sinners and in need of salvation Psalm 14:3 All have turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. Psalm 51:5 Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. Psalm 143:2 Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you. Proverbs 20:9 Who can say, "I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin"? Eccles. 7:20 There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins. Isaiah 64:6 All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away. Romans 3:9-12 What shall we conclude then? Are we any better? Not at all! We have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under sin. As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one." Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned-- 1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. Galatians 3:22 But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. Ephesians 2:1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, Ephesians 2:3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. Biblical truth #2. There is no salvation without faith in Christ John 3:18 Whoever BELIEVES in him is not condemned, but whoever does not BELIEVE stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. John 3:36 Whoever BELIEVES in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him." John 10:9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." Acts 16:30-31 He then brought them out and asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" They replied, "BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved--you and your household." Romans 3:26 he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have FAITH in Jesus. Romans 3:28 For we maintain that a man is justified by FAITH apart from observing the law. Romans 10:9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and BELIEVE in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:13 for, "Everyone who CALLS on the name of the Lord will be saved." Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through FAITH--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God Biblical truth #3. There is no faith in Christ, and therefore no salvation, without first hearing the gospel message Acts 11:13-14 He told us how he had seen an angel appear in his house and say, 'Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. He will bring you a message through which you and all your household will be saved.' Acts 13:48 When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord; and all who were appointed for eternal life believed. Acts 18:9-10 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: "Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city." Romans 10:9-17 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our message?" Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ. 2 Timothy 2:10 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. SUMMARY: No conversion--no salvation! No exceptions! Hearing of the gospel, and subsequent conversion (faith & repentance) are absolutely essential to salvation. All of the elect must hear the gospel and believe it--there are no exceptions.

Hi senior morning

I only obey

This makes it very clear. There are very amorphous explanations of modernism and post-modernism out there. I'm a visual learner and a visual teacher. I draw just like the professor to explain things. Thanks Rick, you're a great teacher!

Clearly explained to be bifocal

Thanks Pastor.

The opening comment is where we need to rework. Looking at religion (Christianity) through the lens of Western Theological Philosophy is at the root of much misapplication of the scriptures. The root of error here is the anti-semitic attitude, approach and understanding of the Jewish scriptures. RC/Protestants hijacked and stole Hebrew scriptures and completely reformatted the meaning of scripture. So instead attempting to see scripture from a Jewish perspective, the thieves reinterpreted scripture with a hate of the Jews. Moved Christianity from Jerusalem to Rome. The West has always been preoccupied with the self, religious and secular. Why the quick dismissal of the East? I am a Christian, but the reformers were blood thrusty, anti-semitics. To be true to the scripture we must step back and relearn how to read the scriptures from a Hebrew perspective, not western superimposition. Good presentation but the bias is overwhelming. The conclusions are subjective and only tell one part of the total story - but that is expected of Western civilization. We cant even imagine another perspective.
