Thanks for the insight. I will definitely use these principles in my Bible studies.

Warren mcgrew coped harder than this but bernard is still coping here

"For you hold the power of life and death, bringing to the gates of Hades and back again. A human being in wickedness may inflict death but cannot bring the departed spirit back again or free the soul once swallowed up." - Wisdom 16:13-14. These verses state that God alone has power of life and death, as humans do not have the power to give life to the dead, but God does.

Flipping the issue on its head, the Israelites demurred from exterminating the inhabitants of the Promised Land as commanded by God. As a result those nations have been a snare to Israel to this day. Thanks for sharing - love the teaching on the “eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth” concept.

3rd time asking.. I was raised in a trinitarian Pentecostal church but have in the past 4 years converted to oneness and been baptized in Jesus name. My question is, why or how can trinitarians be filled with Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in unknown tongues if they do not have a proper understanding of scripture or have out right rejected the Biblical teaching of the oneness

[@EthanChampagne-mo1lg]

Cornelius didn’t have full understanding of truth yet he had an angelic visitation and later received the Holy Ghost. The requirements of receiving the gift is #1 faith and #2 a prepared heart

[@maxwellhufford7115]

Study on the historical account on the conversion of Apollos by Aquila and Priscilla in the book of Acts. Might help

[@acts238outreach]

I came from that background and God filled me with the HolyGhost at a “non denominational “ men’s camp .. it comes down to being Hungry for God and having faith for more… God will meet you where you are !!!! That same hunger lead me years later to the truth about water baptism in Jesus name and the Doctrine of One God !

In ancient China this practice to totally annihilate whole families or tribes is played out in many chinese period movies.

The man in the video doesn't explain why God is not genocidal, he only explain why God did some genocide and added that God is merciful because He refrain from doing genocide from time to time.

[@OldSchoolDad]

God has the right to remove anyone from this life at into the next life at any time he chooses. He cannot commit murder or genocide because as Creator he has absolute authority over his creation, including the manner and time of our deaths. The fact that he used Israel to execute judgment against these nations doesn't change this.

[@Mr.Coffee20255]

No God does not promote any kind of evil. In this passage we see God ordering King Saul to wipe out the Amalek. We tend to focus on God as loving , peacefulness, salvational God which is all true. What we forget and or fail to remember is that God is also a JUDGE. As such, a righteous and Holy God must judge sin.

[@wolverine754]

Jesus is Lord!

[@AllisterWilliamsTV]

God also used heathen nations to punish Israel as well. God used Israel to judge nations, and also used nations to judge Israel. Israel themselves would have suffered the same consequences.

Next Video. How to speak the Gospel to the lost in this generation where their attention span is less than two minutes.

[@jesuisdavid1]

If the gospel be hidden...

[@daviddonnelly426]

Come on man. It depends on the individual. You should not just say "this whole generation, blah blah.' Join me in praying for this generation ! 😊

The liberated oppressed make the best oppressors. Why does Dr Bernard choose to teach genocide now? I find it interesting how Dr Bernard speaks of nations in the past that stood against or supported Ancient Israel and their outcomes … and when I contrast Israel’s heinous actions against the people of Gaza since October 2023 - against how the dictator in the Former Republic of Yugoslavia behaved… it seems the secular government of modern Israel is also guilty of genocide. I am not being anti-Semitic- I am anti human suffering. It seems The secular government of Israel is operating beneath the International standards ‘acceptable warfare’ … killing of the innocents … the non combatants…. Attacking and killing Christians and destroying 2000 year old Christian temples and mosques… attacking international relief societies trying to ease the suffering of the Gazans. I call a Magen - a Magen - The actions of the secular government of Israel is utterly reprehensible.
