Hey Doug, At around minute 32, in answering a question I believe you claimed an OT Jew could follow the Law and be righteous. Isn’t that saying there are two ways to salvation or righteousness? Just trying to understand.

I read verse 6 as “not all who are of the nation of Israel are true (spiritual) Israel (saved).”

Thanks for the interesting talk, you made some good points. Just to add to it, there were actually five commands sent to restore and build Jerusalem. 1. Cyrus in 538 BC, 2 Chronicles 36:22, Ezra 1:1 2. Darius in 518 BC, Ezra 6:14 3. Artaxerxes in 458 BC, Ezra 7:26 4. Artaxerxes dated 454 BC. Nehemiah 2:5 5. Artaxerxes further instructed 444 BC Ezra Although it began with Cyrus much work was continued through the other kings.

The New Testament calls God "our Father in Heaven". When children appeal to their father, what father wouldn't consider the childs request. Thank you Lord!

Thank you so much brother, realm of flesh, realm of spirit makes so much sense of the passage!

Elijah still prays, as do other dead saints: Rev 6: 9-11

Another Titus 1:12 moment; which is why I am a CalvArminian. The Bible is explicitly clear never changes AND God does repent and change His mind. Not my problem your human mind cannot comprehend that. Until one admits that the logic which binds human thinking doesn't limit God. God is above logic. This is a central problem with almost all systematic theologies. As for me, higher math so twisted my mind before becoming a Christian that I have never had a problem with God’s Sovereignty and the freedom of Man to choose. I do admit higher math left me barely sane, and the Bible threw me into full insanity. 😅

I understand what you are teaching and showing from the scriptures, but do you think we experience these things as Christians and want to apply these text because they are close to our experience?

Fav book on prayer and what should be our focus is D.A. Carson's 'A Call to Spiritual Reformation'. Thank you Doug for praying for our nation- I will join you in similar petitions. Also, as a Reformed minded believer, I agree with Doug on the wrong headedness of most in the Reformed community on their opinion of prayer's efficacy. As far as Jesus asking the Father "may this cup pass from me" in regards to facing the cross, imo not all Reformed theologians would state that this was simple hyperbole from the lips of Jesus. It is a shame that one never hears imprecatory prayers in our churches.

My past problems with prayer were that I was taught as a new Christian that my prayers should ALWAYS change things. This leads to a lot of dissapointment and I believe also causes shipwrecked faith or at least a lot of doubt and confusion. This is really clear teaching you are giving. I can't argue with anything you said. Thanks for your thoughtful approach.

Do not lock into a system. I like that quote. 👍🏼Keep on learning and allow what you think you know to be challenged with scripture.

INDEED. We are able to resist any temptation. It is in our will.

I understand your point about the law arousing all the sin types mentioned in Galations 5. People of today and the ages following this letter to the Galations weather the law still stands or not. NOT, people still fall into these sins with or without the law. Even Christians and many many pastors fall in to sexual sin. Porn addiction. It is appalling. They have died to the law in Christ yet they sin like the Israelites did. How will a Christian man entertain the sex trade and support human trafficking. It sends goose bumps up my spine.

I've been watching these for some time now, and its like a breath of fresh air. I love how much respect is given to context (not allowing jumping around in the bible); unfortunately this is not common.

Elements of the world - or kosmos, refers to the kosmos or “system” of the law. This system had worldly elements that pointed to spiritual realities- worldly “man made” temple and its systems, you had a Aaronic priesthood, dietary and external lifestyle. Even carnal or natural means of sonship for the people of God - levirite marriage laws, natural seedline of the sons of Jacob. This earthly system was designed to point them to the spiritual realities in Christ. You could say that they were immersed in pre-Christ pageantry until the time appointed by the Father.

Excellent study about the flesh. Many Christians struggle to understand flesh and sin. We are sanctified by the Blood of Jesus. Yes, we are in the Lords Kingdom now.

never understood how someone who claims to be a christian, be so negative, pessimistic, complainer, smh

great study

I moved this to a new comment in case you did not see my reply to your reply: Well I guess we should discuss what exactly did Jesus mean by “this generation will not pass away until all these things come to pass”. So can you enlighten me as to when the events in Matt 24:29 took place? Or the abomination of desolation occurred? Is it possible these are eschatological events. Could “this generation” refer to the generation that witnessed the beginning of birth pangs? The fact remains the text does not say “the armies of Rome" and you claimed it did.

Every translations has "for one week". Yet again, with pure assertion you contradict every translation with your (who are you) negation of "for" to "during". This is the problem with your video here. You do well up the the 69th week but then from there you rely on pure assertions that contradict all sholars wording.

Your argument is based on the assertion that the discipleds were asking when Jesus was going to come destroy the temple. That is a wild assertion with no evidence. Nothing in the text hints at Jesus making its destruction an act of his "coming". Basically you have to push this bizarre assertion retrospectively to fit you timeline. Thats why you do it, not because its sound.

If we just stick to the text, it’s very simple once we start going outside to text and asking questions that the text is not trying to answer. That’s when we get confused but like Doug always says stick to the text and this is very clear.

I don’t know, but to me it’s very clear what Doug is teaching. It’s making lots of sense and we see the same thing in Romans. The problem is we have been taught poorly and we can’t get those previous teachings out of us. That’s why some struggle It’s hard for some to understand what you’re saying because it goes against what they have been taught

You said I took this out of context... "There can be NO transgression where there is no law" Can you please articulate the context???

Upon seeing that the law was only given to Israel and the end came in AD70 you''ve created a safe, undefinable place to sit in, but you can't stay there.

The law brought condemnation and made Israel guilty. What condemned you and made you guilty? Correct answer: nothing.

Great lesson!!!

It’s incredible how so many can read the truth, hear the truth, see the truth and still not believe.

The redemptive story was only for old covenant Israel and it concluded when the lord returned, gathered his elect (believing ISRAEL) and destroyed his enemies (apostate ISRAEL) in AD70. The END was in AD70. If the gospel went out prior to the END...Can someone please preach the "post-AD70 pagan gospel" to me??? If the kingdom was delivered up to God at the END....what kingdom are you in today?? If Christ "put away sin by the sacrifice of himself" what sin wasnt "put away"?? If the law "led people to Christ" what leads people to Christ after the law???

However if say Jesus made the covenant in the or during the final 70th week, then Jesus blood covenant is not 7 years but everlasting, then this interpretation can also work. Genesis Tree of Good n Evil Seminary.

If Dan 9:27 is Jesus will make a new covenant with many for 1 week, the 70th week, a 7 yr covenant, and then midweek 3.5 yrs causes animal sacrifice to cease because Jesus blood is this new covenant and 70th week is Jesus death, so the 70th week is not some future Antichrist event, then there is a problem for this interpretation, because Jesus blood covenant is not 7 years, it's everlasting. Genesis Tree of Good n Evil Seminary, Chief Guardian, of the first gospel, the most important principle to God put into Creation start, fail good n evil follow caused humanity to become a mix of good and evil humans, never join evil humans rich poor people crime, which leads also the Mark of Beast test, this time don't join an evil Antichrist, again choose Mark Beast evil or Mark God goof which the 144000 do, name in Book of Life, lost access to Tree of Life regained. Genesis Revelations same first gospel to enter Heaven, supernatural, n Revelations only has Tree of Life in new Earth not other Tree, coz Knowledge of good n evil Tree now inside human DNA, Revelations knows this, supernatural, the author John doesn't write this. Daniel knowledge will increase hence this seminary specific message.

Pauls not writing to pagans..never did.. Hes writing to scattered uncircumcised Israelites (ethnos) living out in pagan areas (the lost sheep, the lost coin, those afar off, etc). The southern kingdom (jews) were circumcised and practiced the law. The northern kingdom (gentiles, ethnos) were uncircumcised and not practicing the law. When the jews (southern kingdom) saw the divorced dirty gentiles (northern kingdom) returning they tried to get them to, at a minimum, circumcise themselves. Its the prodigal son story. One stayed home (southern kingdom) one left and slept with pigs (northern kingdom). Pagans are the pigs in the story. What are pagans "slaves" to and what are they "freed" from?

Matthew 24:20 But PRAY that your flight will not be in the winter, nor on the sabbath day. Reading Matthew 24:20, you will not dare to insult the greatest Prophet DIVINE Jesus by saying that in Matthew 24:20 He was deceiving his disciples mentioned in Matthew 24:1 (and the first baptized Christians in the first 40 years AFTER the cross). You will not dare to insult your DIVINE Jesus saying that commanding them in Matthew 24:20 to pray for that Sabbath day THE DIVINE JESUS ​​DIDN'T KNOW that they would pray for 40 years AFTER the cross commanding them in Matthew 24:20 to pray for that Sabbath day Sabbath when the Romans will come to destroy Jerusalem (Matthew 24:2) and kill the Jews. It is clear that the DIVINE Jesus KNEW that in Matthew 24:20 he commanded the disciples in Matthew 24:1 He also commanded the first Christians in the first 40 years AFTER the cross to PRAY for that Sabbath day commanded in Matthew 24:20 . And so it is clear that the disciples and the first Christians was seventh day adventists praying 40 years AFTER the cross FOR that Sabbath day commanded in Matthew 24:20. He being the Creator of the Sabbath RESTING in Genesis 2:1-3 in the New Testament in Luke 4:16 DIVINE Jesus continued His CUSTOM started in Paradise in Genesis 2:1-3. And, therefore, being an intelligent reader, you will never dare to insult your DIVINE Jesus by saying that He was NOT able to know that to His disciples will be added also the first Christianity to obey His commandment given in Matthew 24:20 to PRAY for this Sabbath on the next 40 years AFTER cross. You will never dare insult your DIVINE Jesus by saying that He commanded in Matthew 24:20 to pray for 40 years AFTER the cross FOR a Sabbath that Sunday worshipers will abolish at the cross. Matthew 24:3 He sat down on the Mount of Olives. And His disciples came to Him aside and said to Him, "Tell us, when will these things take place (from Matthew 24:2)?" And what will be the SIGN of Your coming AND of the END of this age?” And now understanding Matthew 24:3, you will see that the disciples also asked about the END of the age and now you understand that you are also commanded in Matthew 24:20 to pray for the Sabbath day that will take place during YOUR tribulation in Revelation 13:15 Matthew 24:9 Revelation 12:17 etc. And in Matthew 24:1,3,20 it is shown that not to the Jews, but to the disciples and the first Christians, and also YOU ​​are commanded in Matthew 24:20. All these Bible verses make it clear that, SUBMITTING TO THE DIVINE Jesus in Matthew 24:20, you will be a Seventh-day Adventist praying FOR that Sabbath day that will take place during your final tribulation in Rev 13:15. And there are MANY other verses in the New Testament that make it clear that you are commanded more and more clearly to become a Seventh-day Adventist. We all know that the word ADVENTIST (comes from the original word ADVENIO which means WAITING) which means that the word ADVENTIST applies to absolutely all Christian religions that are WAITING for the return of the Lord Jesus and therefore absolutely ALL Christian religions should recognize that in fact we all are ADVENTISTS

Gibberish

“Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. ” John 20:27 Whatever you will try to read apples to see pears your will NEVER find in this verse the word "SIGN of the Son of man". And you will also NEVER find any verse saying that HIS WUNDS(plural) ARE HIS SIGN(singular). In Matthew 24:30 you cannot have the plural SIGNS of the Son of man. And you will NEVER find any verse saying that His WUNDS(plural) will be made as so much highly visible that ALL nations will SEE and will MOURN SEEING HIS WUNDS(plural signs). And why to MOURN SEEING HIS WUNDS ?. Only those few romans who pierced Him may MOURN SEEING HIS WUNDS(signs) but in Matthew 24:30 is saying about ALL nations MOURNING SEEING HIS SIGN(singular &not plural signs as wunds). Was ALL nations piercing Him or was only those one or two romans who pierced Him ?. You are are reading apples to see pears because you are too much full of hate against His Sabbath given AS HIS SIGN in Exodus 31:13-17 Ezekiel 20:12,20. In all these many verses(Exodus 31:13-17 Ezekiel 20:12,20) you cannot see the word SIGN but you see the word SIGN in John 20:27 where is totally impossible to see the word SIGN. Incredible how much twisted is your thinking being full of hate against His Sabbath given AS HIS SIGN in Exodus 31:13,17 Ezekiel 20:12,20 and AS His everlasting covenant in Exodus 31:16 to have the name "ark of the COVENANT" in Revelation 11:19. For the fulfillment of Matthews 24:30 Pope united already ALL nations under his SIGN(mark-SUNday) so that ALL nations will be MOURNING SEEING HIS SIGN(Sabbath-Exodus 31:13,17 Ezekiel 20:12,20). ONLY the Sabbath as His SIGN and NOTHING else will be able to make ALL nations to MOURN in Matthew 24:30. Matthew 24:30 will be fulfilled together with Revelation 11:19 on the time when in Revelation 13:15 the digital God AI robot will decide to be killed all Sabbath keeping SDA who will refuse to WORSHIP ALSO on SUNday to WORSHIP ALSO the giver of SUNday. And being ALL nations united together to kill all SDA WORSHIPPERS the heavenly ark of the covenant will be made as highly visible in Revelation 11:19 to see that in heaven is still written the seventh day Sabbath as His written on the two tables OF THE covenant and SEEING the seventh day Sabbath as His SIGN(Exodus 31:13-17 Ezekiel 20:12,20) will make MOURNING ALL SUNday WORSHIPING being gathered together to kill all SDA Sabbath worshippers. This will be in Revelation 13:15 God's only one possible way to stop their plan of killing all SDA worshipping on the seventh day Sabbath as His SIGN(Exodus 31:13-17 Ezekiel 20:12,20). In Matthew 24:30 Rev 11:19 NOTHING else will be able to make MOURNING all SUNday WORSHIPING and to stop their try to kill all SDA worshippers in Revelation 13:15. Too much later will see all SUNday worshipers that there is NO evidence saying that the Pope had the possibility to change the Sabbath also on the two tables of His covenant which are inside the ark of His covenant in Revelation 11:19. It is logically that in Matthew 24:30 ALL already now united SUNday worshipers will be MOURNING SEEING the sevent day Sabbath written in Revelation 11:19 Hebrews 9:4 Exodus 31:13-17 Ezekiel 20:12,20. And seeing Matthew 24:30 being fulfilled together with Revelation 11:19 Revelation 13:15 you can see ONLY the Sabbath as HIS SIGN able to make MOURNING ALL already now united SUNday worshipers against ALL SDA Sabbath worshippers seeing the SDA as culprit for the 7 plagues which will be started in Revelation 16. Daniel chapter 3 will be repeated and all SDA will be forced in Revelation 13:15 to bow their knees down(worship) ALSO on the front of the digital God AI as IMAGE of the beast(king=kingdom-Daniel 7:23 Daniel 2:44) having the words of life(John 6:68) to give life to digital God AI in Revelation 13:15 so that AI gaving inside the words of life(John 6:68) in Revelation 13:15 AI will be our teacher(John 3:2) IN THE PLACE OF CHRIST(teacher-John 3:2) in Rev 13:15. In Daniel chapter 3 God's worshippers was forced to bow down their knee(worship) to WORSHIP THE IMAGE of the king and in Revelation 13:15 again will be forced all Sabbat worshippers to bown knee down(worship) the IMAGE of the king of the new modern Babylon(united nations as SUNday worshipers as ALL SUNday nations in Matthew 24:30). Then also Daniel 6 will be repeated forcing all SDA to not have anymore the seventh day Sabbath as WORSHIPING day but only on SUNday to WORSHIP ONLY the giver of SUNday(Pope being the only one who gave SUNday as day of REST=sabbath and as only one day of WORSHIPING to fulfill also Daniel chapter 6). Pope said already that SUNday is the mark(sign) of authority to change God's SIGN(Exodus 31:13-17 Ezekiel 20:12,20) as Giver Lawgiver being the Creator. The final armageddon(Rev 16:16) will be between this two SIGNS(marks) of authorities and this is why in Revelation 11:19 God must make as highly visible His SIGN(Exodus 31:13-17 Ezekiel 20:12,20) so that in Matthew 24:30 will be able to stop the killing ordered in Rev 13:15 against SDA Sabbath worshippers which will be seen as culprit for the 7 plagues started in Revelation 16. NOTHING ELSE WILL BE ABLE TO STOP the killing ordered in Revelation 13:15 making ALL SUNday worshipers MOURNING in Matthew 24:30 SEEING HIS SIGN(Exodus 31:13-17 Ezekiel 20:12,20).

NOW i understand V.19 thanks rabbi doug

Nope, flesh is neither a stand in for circumcision nor sinfulness. Flesh means flesh, which the first and second Adam had wo sin. Once resurrected the flesh will no longer suffer the corruption of sin. The more I listen the more I hear Doug replace the straight forward Scripture with his own systematic theology without realizing it. However the main point that the entire Covenant of Moses is "it is finished ". As a physician, the Greek is stronger than you think. Having helped my dad circumcision Cise 4 adult brothers one after the next when I was 14, trust me, this is a bloody mess.

Doug, I cannot find any word "flesh" in strongs concordance translated circumcision. It's either body (masculine noun) or body (feminine noun). In John 6:55 Jesus says "My flesh is meat indeed" flesh is the same word as in Galations, strongs #4561 body - feminine noun, what does that have to do with circumcision?

Thanks Doug!! 😊

Stop wasting my time saying hi to people i dont know. Thanks

At the end of your lesson, some asked if God chooses whom he will save. You went to the word "elect." I have spent way too much time studying that word. I concluded it does not mean "saved" or a people who are saved. The word "elect" has not changed over the centuries. It means somone who has been elected to serve. Our democratic elections are to select those who would serve the electorate.

Can anyone tell me what the name of the song is at the beginning of each clip? . It's such a lovely song.

Hey Mr Goodin. Quick question. Paul talks about how anyone who preaches anything other than what Paul was teaching is condemned. Can Christian’s who believe in Jesus but still teach the law or believe in these things actually be saved? Because Paul says they are condemned

Isaiah 9.14-15, describes Israel (summer) as Leo, Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio. The noble/royal head is the Lion and the lying tail is the scorpion found in Rev. 9.

Thanks, Doug 👍🏻 And this love is very clearly delineated by Paul & James & Jesus per Leviticus 19. Not mere sentimentality but so much more.

27:03 - and it’s exactly here where there is 0% difference between James & Paul. And this love is very clearly delineated by Paul & James & Jesus per Leviticus 19. Not mere sentimentality but so much more. The Bible is actually a very “small” book when we practice basic interpretive principles.

Why do Sabbath worshippers in my country, Papua New guinea (near Australia) go to church services 10 hours before the people in Israel and it's surrounding areas. That means they are sleeping and some maybe working. Sunset to sunrise on a Saturday is only based at Israel and its surrounding areas. Jesus knew this and said, I am Lord over the Sabbath. Our Dateline starts just past Hawaii Islands and not at Israel. The first Saturday start at the Dateline in Easterly direction. Wake up and preach the truth.

Awesome lesson, Doug. Thank you.

Trackin

Thank you, Doug. This is such a breath of fresh air in a world poluted by "christians" trying to impose the law on us.
