Thank God for your teaching.

22:40. I’ve watched almost as many of these lessons as 7th AngelAD and I’d think he’d agree that nothing taught is as powerful or as important as what the hero of GCBI, Dr. Randall Smith says during this spot. ✝️

[@kevinrosner8676]

FANTASTIC. One of the best lessons

[@GCBIMedia]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Yahuah222]

I came to Christ uncircumcised but still desire to obey the commandments, i am restored Israel. Glory to the Most High God of Israel

[@nickjnickj1]

Thank you

[@tedl3986]

Thank you Dr Randy!

[@grgustafson3777]

32:19 If it’s given once for a man to die… God Himself buried Moses and Michael contended for his body… AND the two witnesses are killed and their bodies lie in the streets of Jerusalem for days… how can Moses be one of the two witnesses. Asking sincerely. Thanks.

[@kathymarchmont5902]

I learned a lot!!! I wish I understood 6:6 better though, how you present it because that verse has always been troublesome to us.

How can it be a compendium if there is consistency in the writing and throughout the letter?

[@grgustafson3777]

Why was Jesus a stone builder when He was on earth? Because He is a stone builder in the heavenly places, too. Each Believer is a living stone.

[@Forgivenmuchlovingmuch]

👋 Hello! Thank you for this lesson. 2Kings 19:35….. how come it’s taught the Angel of the Lord here was Jesus. I’m so afraid that I have used this in showing someone where He came in the OT. Thank you for your time!

[@7thangelad586]

It almost sounds like a legal defense of Christianity and how it applies to the Jewish people.

[@marymarywhyyabuggin]

"How could Jesus be a priest, if He's not a Levite?" Not to be disrespectful to the Word of Our Lord, but I laughed out loud at this question. Great lesson, God bless!

Thank you Dr Randall. Sorry but I have to ask, if a person divorces after becoming a Christian, are they condemned? Just curious...

[@kevinrosner8676]

Awe. Bless your heart and I don’t mean that in the Southern US way. I’m not calling you stupid. I will apologize for GCBI for not replying or keeping up on their videos. I am in NO WAY affiliated with GCBI, I have never been there nor met anyone from GCBI. I WILL stand by what I’m about to say as being Biblical and I believe GCBI and Dr Randall will agree with it. You are SAVED by believing in Jesus. ‘It is finished’. You will continue to sin. There are ways to divorce that are not a sin and there are ways that are. NONE of them change being saved. We are ALL condemned by sin. Any sin, one sin or many, from murder to telling a lie. We are saved by Christ and by God thru grace. Losing salvation is a tricky topic. But understand, we were already condemned by sin. We cannot be re-condemned by it. We were pardoned by Christ. We have diplomatic immunity for condemnation thru our salvation granted to us by God’s grace thru the works of His son, Jesus Christ. Dr. Randall could say this better than I. I hope my answer is received well

[@kevinrosner8676]

Oh. This question was a joke. Lol. 40:30. I hadn’t finished the lesson before I replied.

[@Forgivenmuchlovingmuch]

Thank you for asking this too! I had the same question…. Coming out of an emotional , physical (sexually) abusive marriage…. (He was an unbeliever … I married him before I was saved, although not sure if this matters because abuse is abuse) Although I did not go about everything the right way, I have since repented and I NEVER WALKED away from Jesus …. However I was taught incorrectly and since God’s word says He hates divorce, I moped around with a weight of condemnation feeling as though since I let the Lord down, I could no longer partake of His blessings….. But He is so merciful and gracious! He has given me back the years that the locust ate up and given me a man of God who serves Him, the church and wants to protect me and care for me in every way. God’s grace and love is deep!!!

[@taylorclark1048]

Jesus seems like a pretty cool servant to me , Yes he is the Son of God soo a lot of expectations, but raising people from the dead , healing the lepars, making blind men see, calming the storm , master fisherman, his ministry only lasted 3 years , I just think if I was reading about Jesus as a Jew or gentile back in those times compared to Moses I would have been much more soo blown away by what Jesus was able to do. I love your vids man.

[@7thangelad586]

People falling away has more to do with them than the Gospel.

[@kevinrosner8676]

Hold on. HAHAHA. Kevin has questions. Melchizedek card, ok, I’ll accept that even though Psalm 110 is a little messy and so is this dude melek tsedeq. This will not be easy for me: I believe I learnt from GCBI that Jeremiah 22 said nope, sorry Jehoiakim dude, not sitting on David’s throne. So that is resolved bc by blood Jesus was not Joseph’s son. but ADOPTED. So win-win. The Judah line holds the scepter but no ‘offspring’ of Jehodude. Who was Joseph’s father? idk if it matters Heli or random Jacob. We have line of David (Judah). We also get an Easter egg with omissions creating 42 (gematria fun David) So we play in the mess of Mary’s lineage: I’m not touching Joachim and Anne. Does Mary’s lineage carry the Judah bc that’s gonna cause a Solomon curse thing unless kingly lines are only patriarchal(I think they are so that’s a 90% safe bc I’m not sure). So I’m out of the Judah, David(son of Jesse) & Solomon issues even Naomi and Matthew throws in some Gentiles to hit that one, now I have only the Levite and Zerubabbel ones to check (I think). ELISABETH (you knew I was going here) was married to Levitical priest which makes her full-blooded Levite(?). Is Mary’s father Judah? Who is Joseph of Heli or is it son of Heli. Is Mary of Levi descent bc of the nature of Elisabeth’s Levi probability. Is the priestly line carried thru the mother? When did being a Jew only count by mom? Bc of too many sons of the milkmen they decided to give up the reliability of who’s your daddy? I have questions. Haha. Obviously. I love playing these games bc it keeps me in the Bible. Be thankful I’m too old to be a student at GCBI. I would drive the teachers crazy.

[@kevinrosner8676]

Whoa whoa whoa!!!!! 31:55. You just said Moses comes back in Revelation. I’m shocked you present that as factual. The evidence supporting Moses is VERY strong. There is ONE problem: the witnesses die and that is HUGE bc why would Moses die twice in the flesh? If I need to explain, the conversation isn’t for you. The Gospel of Nicodemus is direct: it’s Enoch and Elijah (yes, it’s disputed but not like a hypocritical writing like the gospel of Judas) Tertullian and Irenaeus conclude it’s Enoch (everyone agrees if it’s biblical characters Elijah is one). I’d prefer this being Moses as not definitive enough to be taught or used as an example. The truth is we don’t know who the witnesses are. It’s not Muhammad and Ali (Baha’i Faith) or Joseph Smith and his brother and most definitely not the Heaven’s Gate leaders. Back to Jesus is God stuff. Great lesson.

[@GCBIMedia]

We're always blessed to read your comments, Kevin! We're working on a podcast now (were recording our second episode today!) that we hope will allow us to have more time to answer comments like this one... Keep them coming!

[@ervinhart1511]

So, he states that the law was given to a particular group, and they ONLY are to follow it. This is stated in a reference to old testament law, but he takes the analogy to the new testament and backs it up with Paul's statement in 1 Cor 7 (?)," did you come to Christ circumcised, then stay as you are." I will let Exodus 12:49, Leviticus 24:22 and Numbers 15:15-16 speak to this. I will use the literal interpretation and not some eisegesis excuse to get out of it. As well, I will also exercise Deuteronomy 4:2 when reading and understanding scripture. Shabbat Shalom

[@Bingo777-i8w]

They were not "Jewish laws"... They are Yahweh's laws.

[@gloriaguerra3528]

sarah barnes Sarah yes thank You for pointing it out, this guy is absence in eating pig 🐽 🐷 🐖 He mentions it all the time, I like lots of his teachings he is very intelligent but not intelligent enough to know that the law does not change, maybe he does it to get away with it and not feel guilty

[@7thangelad586]

Do not call unclean what God has cleaned. But since it has become a stumbling block to his listeners, he would probably quit if he thought it would gain more people to Christ.

[@kevinrosner8676]

@@gloriaguerra3528 did YHWH promise the land to Gentiles? Do you who feel that you must follow laws given to Israel believe you are entitled to all they were promised too? I know I’m stepping on toes a little here and it’s a fine line determining what laws we should follow? Can you say we must not eat pork without saying we must sacrifice on the alter? Did YHWH say we must stone adulterers? I ask you where is your line in the sand in the way Jesus sat down and put His finger in the sand in the presence of the Pharisees (or was it Sauducees)? If you are going to disagree with what Randall is teaching, I applaud questioning it against the Bible and I promise you, he would applaud that too. Randall is NOT too proud to accept that he may be wrong. He even states that multiple times in these lessons. Look at my comments in them, I’ve watched over 80% and I will reach 100%. If you are going to disagree, I demand you answer my question before you continue. Which laws do we, as Gentiles, follow? Should I go out and purchase a baby goat to sacrifice on the next Day Of Atonement?
