@@trebmaster no worries! I appreciate you so much!

Thank you! Will do!

@@savemyplace235 Thank you for sharing! So glad you found the mercy of the message!

@@savemyplace235 I completely get this. Years ago I read the passage that I felt said that it was okay to beat your slave to within an inch of his life as long as you didn't actually kill him. It hit me hard, and I basically dumped the Bible on God and told him that's not the God I believe in, and he's going to have to work this out because I don't know if I can trust the Bible or not. It took away my desire to read scripture for a long time. But now, I just have a really honest relationship with God about those kinds of things. The latest is the guy who was stoned to death for collecting firewood on the Sabbath. I told God that I'm sorry, but that just really seems overly extreme to me. But that kind of honesty is how he can work in us to help us understand. I realized that there is a lot more to the story than what's actually written about the event. This was blatant disregard for something that everyone in the community knew about and followed. He could have asked someone else if he needed a day's worth of firewood. It was so weird that the people didn't even know what to do with him. They took him into custody and asked God about it. It is connected to what Amber and Spencer are talking about as far as what holds the whole community together and on the right track in a very dangerous world. It still seems extreme, but I know that God loves all of us, and if that man was repentant, he went to a place of comfort and fathomless love in the bosom of Abraham.

This is so beautiful. I am beyond glad that you had this experience, and the eyes to see/ears to hear it.

I am looking forward to your feedback!

@@Warchant1981 Welcome!

You’re welcome! 😁

@@juliacozicova as part of the offering of the animal, the blood was used because it was the life of the animal. The flesh was the offering. The blood was used at the base or applied as part of the process. The blood was not the offering itself. Only the flesh (meat) of the animal was put on top of the alter to be burned. That burning was for the smoke to bring the essence of the offering before God. The blood was not part that went up to God for him to enjoy. The blood cleansed the space for God to participate with the people and the sacrifice.

@@WhenDeepCallsDeep-Amber Thank you so much for answering. So, yes, about blood represents life, that's true. That's why God forbids to eat blood even in New Testament. To apply what you say to this verse in Hebrew you mean Jesus blood cleans the way to God so we can come in repentance to be forgiven . Am I getting your statement correctly?

Correct! The blood applies to the space! The space we meet with God, however that looks, is cleansed so we have somewhere to sit in God's presence. It's called sacred space. It can be a physical place like the Temple or it can be spiritual like our soul. Either way, the space meets God's demand for clean sacred space and the offering itself makes us redeemed to enter that clean space. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching and for the great question!​@@juliacozicova

@@WhenDeepCallsDeep-Amber thank you too ❤️

The cosmic microwave background is God's way of trolling us. I've got a really nice Bible from my mom but I don't want to ruin it by handing it a lot lol.... What I really want is a "searchable" digital Bible. I think I have the audio version, but where to begin? Does the bible have any space stuff in it, or things like accounts of astronomical events of the era?

@@DJRonnieG Hugh Ross is your guy for that. He is great even though he is Canadian lol

I just did now, I asked Grok to give me a "brief summary" with one or two pointed questions. It was a whole lot of bla-bla-bla, but when I finally read the page it was like "this guy seems alright". I could see where his views may spur debate among some, but you know.. as they say, healthy debate is good for the soul (I actually don't know if that's true). I'll go look up a vid in a bit.

Just for you!

@WhenDeepCallsDeep 😁🥰 😂

Thank you Sparky!!

Thanks! I wrote the words and AI did the rest

I will! Side business for Tim?? hahaha

25:23 Jews at this point still think they are God's chosen and those that don't convert HATE Christians to the point of murder. Throughout the NT, the #1 persecutor of the church is the Jews and its not even close. The Jewish system was the ONLY enemy that had a real chance of squashing the church before it was fully established (in its infancy), which is why it had to be protected and its persecutor personally dealt with by God.

45:20 vs 15 is definitely eschatological, but it is not the end of time eschatological. He is speaking of nations generally here, not individuals. The Jews had been broken off and their only hope of resurrection is within the church. The whole book of Romans is about how the Jews and Gentiles are reconciled in the church, the explanation of the Great Mystery. The Jewish system was about to be destroyed, though by then they would have thought (thanks in part to Nero) that they had almost destroyed the church (Egyptian typology, but now the Jews are Egypt and the church is Israel; Babylonian typology circa Ezekiel 37, but now the Jews are Babylon and the church is Israel). You have the resurrection of the cause of Christ after Jerusalem (Sodom/Egypt/Babylon) is destroyed and those Jews had hope of resurrection (as a cause/nation) only within the church.

49:46 Nailed it. 100% agreement.

51:03 Pritchett is thinking in terms of individual salvation, not nations and national reconciliation.

55:06 Sons of God. :P

@@AmyPert-s7s you are too kind! I hope you find it helpful!

I was baptized into the Greek Orthodox Church as a baby and raised within her. I became born again as an adult and found that I could not remain. The things mentioned in the podcast are true, but not all of the truth. What caused me to leave was: 1. Icon veneration which is much more than was spoken of here. I understand he is a new convert and perhaps attends a less strict parish, but Orthodoxy claims to be unchanged since the days of Christ, and so the Councils need to be read and accepted, and not a looser interpretation by parish Priests. Icon veneration is absolutely required by the Church. A member is required to bow down to/kiss the icons or they are anathemetized. 2. The damnation of all other Christians outside of the EO. We had one Sunday each year, the Feast of Orthodoxy, where the priest reads aloud all of the anathemas, and then after each one he shouts, “anathema”, and then we respond back, “anathema.” It includes sayings like we curse those who are not Orthodox. I know it sounds impossible, but if you research it, you will probably find it. 3. The Mariology is much, much more than Mary was the vehicle for Jesus to be born, hence she is to be honored above other saints. Many prayers ask her to save us, declare her to be our only hope, our Light in the darkness, our mediator, etc. Even her title is Παναγία, All Holy. After Communion we would sing the Akathist of the Theotokos. If you can find an English copy, look at what is said of her. It seems to place her within the Trinity. And the Paraklesis to the Theotokos also has language that I would only reserve for God. We also had a day each year where the Procession of Mary (from the protoevangelion of James) would be celebrated. It was a very regal procession. Not even Jesus seemed to be honored that much on Easter. 4. Even questioning any of the decisions within the councils is anathema. 5. I know they will say otherwise, but the Bible is, at best, secondary. First comes the church, and then from my experience - my Priest’s word, and then the Scriptures, but probably a monk’s or saint’s words. Things like the dormition of Mary, icon veneration, not being sure of salvation, I couldn’t find in the Scriptures, or at least not be convinced of their arguments for them, but if I didn’t submit and accept them, then I was prideful and western and it was anathema. All of these things deeply troubled me in my spirit. I felt like I was splitting in half. I cannot explain the anguish. I still cry if I left myself feel it too much. There are lovely things about the Eastern Orthodox Church, but I believe that there have been many accretions, and the ones I listed are some of the most grievous. I pray that reformation would come to the Eastern Orthodox Church. I love the ideas and attitudes of your guest, but he was speaking things that are not acceptable to the Orthodox Church. I believe the early church was as he explained, and that’s what I would like all of us to return to. 🕊️

It needs a follow up to finish it. We didn't get everything covered and I have refined my thoughts since then.

@@WhenDeepCallsDeep-Amber I say just edit out everything Nick says and it's perfect. lol Hope you had a great Christmas.

I might not know much but I do know I have EPIC friends!

Also super excited about the Hebrew breakdown show!

@@NickQuient I ordered it. It's in the pile. You made the short list.

I created that using AI for the channel intro video. I wrote the words and AI did the rest.

@@WhenDeepCallsDeep-Amber You should upload a video of just the intro music for the fans

Aw shucks; thanks! 😁

@HJM0409 Just for you I will add it to the definitely to do list! It's all good! We all get busy! It's RoddyK you have to watch out for, the grumpy old goat 🐐
