What a blessing it is to have knowledgeable and devoted men like Dr. Sproul and Dr. MacArthur. You can tell they're being led by the Holy Spirit because what they say resonates with the Truth God has put in each true believers hearts. i've learned so much from these men over the years and i don't believe i'd be as spiritually mature as i am without them. It's all the work of Gods' Holy Spirit and i never want to take Him for granted.

I love these two men, R C Sproul and John MacArthur have become some of my 5 favorite pastors that I ever heard in my short Christian life. I used to be one of the very badly and sadly deceived catholics. I was always searching for the truth of God and his word. I was deceived by catholic schools and churches and religion classes in which the teachers didn't have any idea of how to answer my questions. When I was only 12 yrs old, I almost lose some of the school years for religion class, just because I was always asking questions in the religion class. The teacher didn't like me. I was in a female catholic school in which, they were teaching me evolution in biology and science and, creation in religion class!!! That was very confusing, on top of all the questions I had about everything, the priests never wanted to talk to us and we were even scared to approach to them, if it wasn't because we were going to confess our sins! Furthermore ,we always confessed our sins, to receive the same penitence, (pray 3 holy mary, 3 holy fathers and 3 glories, or something like that) The ignorance about Jesus and about God around the world is HUGE, the absence of good pastors and teachers like R.C and John M, is HUGE. I wish I was able to meet them many years ago. Probably that could saved me or helped me earlier in life, to not make so many mistakes. I really thank God, my husband and one of my pastors. They were referring me to John M first and then to R.C. A young student pastor referred me to John and my husband to R C. I love you both and thank you so much for all you teach, for all I learn over these videos and Ligonier Ministries, from your videos and thank God, because He gave us pastors like them and gave them the knowledge to do all the things they've been giving us. Thanks R.C. ,John and,God Bless them ans Keep Then Both for more and longer time, to learn more from them. I hope I can meet them one day. Adriana

@@kimberleerivera7062 , Protestant teachings are FULL OF CONTRADICTION. For example??? 1. Protestants preach an "invisible" and "Spiritual" Church, while they hypocritically reach deep down into gullible people's pockets for money in a very "visible" place. Why do Protestants preach an "invisible" or "Spiritual" Church??? To hide the fact and truth they have absolutely no history back to Jesus Christ or beyond a 1500'S "man" Martin Luther. 2. Protestants teach a self contradictory false teaching "Bible Alone", which ironically is found absolutely no where in the Bible. 3. Protestants say "everything has to be in the Bible to be believed". Where is that statement even in Sacred Scriptures??? Instead, what do Sacred Scriptures say??? John 21:25, 2 Thessalonians 2:15 or especially Acts 1:3. Which ONE CHURCH has these "40 days" of Jesus Christ's teachings that are not in the Bible per the Bible??? 4. Protestants say "ORAL TRADITION" is to be rejected. Why??? Because, not one "man made" Protestant denomination has history back to Jesus Christ, so they have to reject it - despite what 2 Thessalonians 2:15 clearly says. 5. Protestants say the "pillar and bulwark of TRUTH" is the Bible. 1 Timothy 3:15 clearly states "the Church" singular - meaning the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH - is the "pillar and bulwark of TRUTH", who was the Church that ultimately put the Bible together in the first place. 6. Protestants say "the Bible" is the final authority. As a result, it has led to 35,000 and growing "divisions" - as they each become their own "Pope" deciding what is correct or not. Conversely, we see Jesus Christ giving His final "authority" to resolve faith and moral disputes to His ONE and ONLY established Church being the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH per Matthew 18:17. 7. Protestants preach "Faith Alone". The Bible clearly rebukes this specific false teaching by stating in James 2:24 "NOT BY FAITH ALONE". In John 13:34, Jesus Christ commands us in the NEW COVENANT to "love", which clearly is an action or work that is needed (John 5:29, 15:12, 17, Romans 2:6, Philippians 2:12, Colossians 1:10, Acts 26:20, etc.) for salvation. 8. Protestants say the Holy Eucharist is just "symbolism", which ironically is another word not found in the Bible just like "Bible Alone". However, Jesus Christ Himself (WHO CANNOT LIE) repeats over and over in the Bible "THIS IS MY BODY....THIS IS MY BLOOD" (Matthew 26:26, Mark 14:22, Luke 22:19, John 6:51, 54-58) and is needed for salvation (John 6:54-55) or for "Death to Passover" in the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER (Luke 22:19). Jesus Christ, the "Lamb of God" (John 1:29, 1 Corinthians 5:7, 1 Peter 1:19), is the true fulfilled "forever" GOD liturgically commanded "Bread of the PRESENCE" (Leviticus 24:5-9). 9. Protestants say Matthew 23:9 "call no man father" is an indictment against the Catholic Church priests being called "Father", while they hypocritically call their own biological father's "father". In that Matthew 23:9 statement of Jesus Christ's, Protestants don't understand Jesus was using a hyperbole teaching emphasizing not to get caught up in honors or titles that can detract from proper worship due to our Heavenly "Father". Proof??? Judges 17:10, 18:19. What did GOD allow His old covenant priesthood to be called??? Philem 10 and especially 1 Corinthians 4:15. What did Catholic St. Paul consider himself in the New Covenant??? 10. Protestants say "no statues" or "pictures" as they do not understand we have moved from an old covenant "invisible" GOD to a New Covenant "visible" GOD (Colossians 1:15-23) whom "adopted" us into His Family (Galatians 4:4-7) through "water (Baptism) and Spirit(Laying of Hands)" (John 3:5). If GOD is now our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ our King Brother, then who logically would be our Queen Mother??? John 19:27 and Revelation 12:1-6, 17. Per Revelation 12:17, whose children are we really??? Got any statues or pictures of your family??? 11. Protestants say "no man" can forgive sins. However, in the old covenant GOD clearly used ordained "men", the Leviticus Priesthood, to forgive sins (Leviticus 5:5-6, Numbers 5:5-9). In Matthew 16:19, 18:18, and specifically explained in John 20:21-23 what same "power" did Jesus Christ give to His ONE and ONLY established Church being the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH or to the NEW COVENANT ordained "men" of GOD??? 12. Protestants say the Biblical "Harlot" is the Catholic Church. But, GOD calls who the harlot to the nations in Ezekiel 23:30: "you have played the harlot with the nations and have polluted yourself with their idols". GOD and the prophets repeatedly called the old covenant Jews the harlot for committing adultery and idolatry in GOD'S eyes. 13. Protestants accuse the Catholic Church as "man made" or "pagan". But, what does clear history and the Bible (Matthew 16:19) say??? www.newadvent.org/cathen/12272b.htm The irony and contradiction here is each and every single Protestant denomination (35,000 and growing divisions) is truly "man made" all stemming from a 1500's "man" Martin Luther. For instance, Protestant history can easily be revealed like the Seventh Day Adventist denomination was established by a "man" in Battle Creek, MI in 1863AD. 14. Catholics persecuted and killed millions??? What is the TRUTH??? www.themichigancatholic.org/2016/11/inquisition-50-68-million-killed-church/ www.newadvent.org/cathen/11703a.htm Protestants even persecuted and killed Catholic women, and one simply for harboring Catholic priests !!! www.britannica.com/biography/Saint-Margaret-Clitherow So yes, there are many contradictions and outright lies in "man made" Protestantism.

[@onetruefaith2091]

@@berniebrennan1221 , PLEASE READ VERY CAREFULLY AS IF YOUR ETERNAL “LIFE” DEPENDED ON IT In the Book of Hebrews Chapter 10, in context, the author was talking to “baptized” Christians (Hebrews 10:22) telling them to not be “neglecting to meet together” in “the Church” - being the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH. Why “the Church”??? ***Hebrews **10:26**-29 “For IF WE SIN DELIBERATELY after receiving knowledge of the truth, THERE NO LONGER REMAINS A SACRIFICE FOR SINS, BUT A FEARFUL PROSPECT OF JUDGMENT, AND A FURY OF FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES………..HOW MUCH MORE PUNISHMENT DO YOU THINK WILL BE DESERVED BY THE MAN WHO HAS SPURNED THE SON OF GOD, AND PROFANED THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT BY WHICH HE HAS SANCTIFIED, AND OUTRAGED THE SPIRIT OF GRACE”.*** What does Sacred Scriptures clearly say “IF WE SIN DELIBERATELY” or willfully break any of the commandments whether the old (10 Commandments) or NEW (Laws of LOVE or refusing to LOVE as Christ commands per John 13:34)??? If “THERE NO LONGER REMAINS A SACRIFICE FOR SINS, BUT A FEARFUL PROSPECT OF JUDGMENT”, then how does one obtain reconciliation with GOD again??? We must examine the old covenant to fully understand the NEW COVENANT. In Leviticus 5:5-6 and Numbers 5:5-9 we understand what an old covenant Jew had to do to receive GOD's forgiveness. Additionally, GOD in the Books of Leviticus and Numbers any time personal “sin” is even mentioned you will read over and over again “THUS THE PRIEST SHALL MAKE ATONEMENT FOR A MAN’S SINS AND IT WILL BE FORGIVEN” (Lev 4:20, 4:26, 4:31,4:35, 5:6, 5:10, 5:13, 5:16, 5:18, 6:7, 7:7, 12:8, 14:18, 14:19, 14:20, 14:29, 14:31, 15:15, 15:30, 16:32, 16:33, 19:22 Num. 6:11,15:25, and 15:28). In the old covenant, GOD clearly uses ordained “men”, the Leviticus Priesthood, to administer His forgiveness. Now, does GOD keep His WORD and covenant promises??? GOD promises to have a perpetual priesthood per His covenant in Numbers 25:12-13 and Malachi 2:4-7 and has WORDS of “forever” in Exodus 29:7-9, 40:15, and 1 Chronicles 23:13. Then, GOD promises to have a perpetual priesthood in Jeremiah 33:14-22 NEW COVENANT PROPHECY. And, in context of “gathering the nations” in Isaiah 66:18 GOD states in Isaiah 66:21 “some of them also I will take for priests”, meaning no longer based on Levi tribal lineage in the NEW COVENANT. In John Chapter 13, we see Jesus Christ fulfilling His Father’s Levi Covenant promise and Malachi 3:3 prophecy, when He sits down in the upper room “purifying” the NEW COVENANT PRIESTHOOD with a “washing”. This “washing” was a “forever” priestly liturgical GOD command in Exodus 30:21- in order to perform any altar work or sacrifice. What “same” power does the Son of GOD give to His ONE and ONLY established Church or “the Church” per Matthew 16:19, 18:18 and specifically explained to the NEW COVENANT PRIESTHOOD by Jesus in John 20:21-23??? In 2 Corinthians 5:18-20 St. Paul describes what Jesus Christ did was He “GAVE US THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION” and concluded “SO WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST”. An “ambassador” wields what kind of power as an “official representative” of Christ or more specifically explained in “the Church” as “persona Christi”??? Please come or return to your real home and be “reconciled” to “the Church” HIS ONE BODY (Ephesians 4:4-6). What did Jesus Christ create, pray for in John 17:21-23 and die for??? If you really LOVE Jesus Christ, then you will respond to His prayer and join the “ONENESS” that He created. The “Lamb of GOD” wants to unite with you in the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER (Luke 22:19) in His ONE and ONLY established Church, so we all can be “perfectly ONE”. May GOD richly bless you on your journey.

One True Faith sorry to tell you but I grew up Catholic and saw how that church did so many bad things including sodomy, money laundering and more, including a priest in the family that only care about money and idolatry of all kind of idols and some of his community priests that searched for men and little boys for sex. The pope is changing the Lords Prayer, popes invented the limbo and purgatory and they killed many for translating the Bible so we all could read it. Sorry but you need to study and learn more about history and like it or not, these men 👆🏻have been teaching and studying for life, how long have you? I believe what the Bible says and not in anyone that wants to twist it including roman catholic apostolic. Btw did you know who translated the Bible for us? It was Luther and then in other languages by “priests” from Catholic and all of them were Catholic and all of them persecuted by their own church and even killed by them. God Help Us all and Stop the division and just keep giving us discernment of whom we have to learn from and who to listen. GBY and save you too.

How can one Bible passage convict and unite an athiest to believe in GOD, an old covenant Jew to believe Jesus Christ is their Messiah, and a Protestant to know without a shadow of a doubt which ONE CHURCH Jesus Christ established? How can a single Bible passage contain that much evidence to overwhelmingly convince each of those individual groups? It's all in the Book of Jeremiah. It contains New Covenant Prophecy and the "evidence" is clearly seen throughout 2,000 and ongoing years of history. The Book of Jeremiah was arguably written between 586-630 before Jesus Christ. Yes, 500 to 600 years before Jesus Christ even transcended down from eternity, entered our time and was born as a very "visible" and "historical" GOD. In His earthly life Jesus Christ fulfilled two very specific covenant promises that are also very "visible" throughout the course of history, evident today, and will be evident until His return. You ask what two "visible" covenant promises? Well, let's read Jeremiah 33:14-22 New Covenant Prophecy of when the Jewish Messiah would come, what He would do, and what He would establish throughout the course of history after He arrived. Per Catholic Revised Standard Version of Jeremiah 33:14-22 New Covenant Prophecy. 14 "Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I (being Jesus Christ and per John 10:30 "the Father and I are one") will fulfil the promise I made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah. 15 In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch to spring forth for David; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. 16 In those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will dwell securely. And this is the name by which it will be called: 'The LORD is our righteousness.' 17 "For thus says the LORD: David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel, 18 and the Levitical priests shall never lack a man in my presence to offer burnt offerings, to burn cereal offerings, and to make sacrifices for ever." 19 The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: 20 "Thus says the LORD: If you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night, so that day and night will not come at their appointed time, 21 then also my covenant with David my servant may be broken, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and my covenant with the Levitical priests my ministers. 22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered and the sands of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the descendants of David my servant, and the Levitical priests who minister to me." So, where are these Davidic and Levitical GOD covenant promises stemming from Jesus Christ the Jewish Messiah you may ask? The Davidic Covenant promise is fulfilled by the Catholic Pope who sits upon the earthly throne in the Catholic Church where we see a "multiplication of decendents" on a throne with a clear 2,000 year lineage back to Jesus Christ. And, the Leviticus Priesthood covenant is fulfilled by the Catholic Church Priesthood that was established in John Chapter 13 and Chapter 20 with emphasis on verse 22-23 by Jesus Christ. Both the Davidic and Levitical GOD promises are found in the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH. Now, some intellectually dishonest This is irrefutable historical evidence for not only our very "visible" and "historical" GOD Jesus Christ, but GOD keeping His covenant promises throughout 2,000 and ongoing years. Please come join your GOD and savior Jesus Christ in the Lamb's Supper being the New Covenant Passover. Where we "thank" GOD for what He has done for us and we get to feast as ONE DIVINE SPIRITUAL FAMILY. May GOD'S speed, grace and peace be upon you to enter His Kingdom of GOD being the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH.

39:50 to 40:40. These were the most powerful, affirming, consoling words I have ever heard a pastor speak. We see , idolize, believe, envy, and marvel at the Saul to Paul conversions. But nobody bats an eye at the hundreds of thousands of people who slowly grow and conform to Christ over the course of their lives. These we ignore. But I think it is the NORM that slow, steady, blissful change. And I fretted over my own slow growth over the years. Thank you Dr MacArthur for reassuring me it is okay to conform to Christ at my own pace.

Was a Pentecostal church and a lot of prosperity gospel teaching mixed with salvation by the blood of Jesus but there was mingled in there with a lot of heresies and God brought me out and over the last few years and this year recently changed my life to a biblical Christian life and not a denominational Christian life

+Candy Harding The Bible teaches both. You cannot pick one over the other. Personally to me it seems that your still a little confuse. If you choose one over the other sadly to say that without you knowing it you are denying part of scripture. Either you believe in both what the Bible reveals or you will denying part of scripture. You must learn to harmonize two things that might seem to be conflicting with one another, which in reality is not. Understand it as the whole Bible reveals it. Please, don't take this the wrong way I'm a brother in Christ to you and I do care or else I wouldn't spend my time typing this. :) 1. Your responsibility: Luke 13:34 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Ezekiel 18:23 Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked?" This is the declaration of the Lord GOD. "Instead, don't I take pleasure when he turns from his ways and lives? 1 Timothy 2:4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 4:10 To this end we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe. 2. Chosen or elected by God before the world began: Ephesians 1:4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him In love 2 Thess. 2:13 But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth. Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Romans 8:29-30 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.

I'm glad Calvinism is an argument within the southern baptist convention. Whatever your opinion may be on this controversial subject, you have to admit as a southern baptist that it can be quite refreshing. To know that the largest conflict within our denomination is a minor theological issue is amazing. Other denominations are arguing over gay marriage, abortion, ordaining gay ministers, ordaining atheist ministers, and ordaining women as pastors. I'm glad our issue is a theological issue and not an issue of toleration of sin. There are many things worth fighting and dying for in the bible but predestination, although I do believe in it does not quite make the cut.

[@evanu6579]

Zach Weaver What must I do to be saved? Biblical answer: repent and believe the gospel. Trust in the finished work of Christ Calvinist answer: there's nothing you can do. If God has chosen you to be one of the elect, then you're already saved. You just might not know it yet. It's not a minor issue.

[@chrisreid2566]

@@jdude7650 it's pretty minor. I'm a calvanist, I believe in the elect. But whether you believe in he elect or not our goal is to spread Jesus Christ through out the nations and preach that through him alone can you enter into heaven. I would say it's not smart to mention the elect until after one is saved to help them understand the mercy God showed them by salvation.

[@TinyMoMosWorld]

In keeping with the Jewish practice of his day, I think Paul was speaking of a corporate election in this passage. When Jews thought of election or predestination, they thought primarily of the nation of Israel. Israel as a nation was elected (not for salvation, but for service). But this didn’t mean that every individual born into Israel was part of God’s chosen people. Only those who kept covenant with God were considered “true Israelites.” Notice that Paul doesn’t say that God chose us to be in Christ. He rather says God chose us in Christ to be holy and blameless. What God chose from the foundation of the world was that whoever is in Christ will be holy and blameless.

If you tell a man that God is demanding no good works of him whatsoever, no religious observances or church ordinances, that God is not asking him to undertake any duties at all, but that God invites him to believe a glad message that his sins have already been dealt with at the Cross, and that God expects him to believe this good news and be exceedingly happy about it. If you tell an unsaved man such a story at this, he is astonished and overwhelmed-yet this is the Gospel! Our Apostle, Paul, reveals the following great doctrines; 1. The unrighteousness before God of all men. 2. The impossibility of justification by works before God- that is, of any man’s attaining a standing of righteousness before God by anything done by him. Do what a man may, he is a condemned sinner still. 3. The fact and the Scripturalness of righteousness on the free gift principle-that is, of Divine righteousness, separate from all man’s doings, conferred upon man as a free gift from God. 4. Propitiation-that satisfaction of God’s Holy Nature and law for man’s sins rendered by Christ’s blood. 5. Reconciliation-the removal by Christ’s death for man of that obstacle to righteousness which man’s sin had set up between God and man. 6. The plan of the actual conferring of the gift of righteousness upon all who believe, without any distinction. This change of a sinner’s standing before God, from one of condemnation to one of righteousness, is called Justification. Negatively, it is deliverance from guilt on account of Christ’s shed blood and deliverance out of the old creation by identification in death with Christ on the Cross. Positively, it is a new standing in the risen Christ before God. 7. Redemption-the buying back of the soul through the blood of Christ from sin; from the curse of the law-even death, involving exclusion from God under penalty; from the "power of death," which involves the hand of the enemy; and from all iniquity. 8. Forgiveness-the going forth of Divine tenderness in remitting the penalty for sin in view of the blood of Christ trusted in, and in complacency and fellowship to creatures who before were necessarily under Divine judgment. 9. Remission of sins-that is, the actual removing of transgressions or trespasses from the sinner, so that for all time and eternity his sins shall not again be upon him. 10. Identification-(see above, Justification). The great fact that those who are in Christ were united with Him at the Cross by God’s sovereign inscrutable act and were crucified with Christ and buried with Him, so that their history is now ended before God. And when Christ was raised up as the Firstborn of the new creation, they also were raised up with Him and their history began as new creatures in God’s sight in Christ, the Last Adam. Of course, in the experience of the Christian there comes a time when he is actually made partaker of this new life-that point of time when he is, as we say, saved, or converted, or born again, etc. Nevertheless, the life that is in every Christian came up out of the Tomb, and it is in Christ Jesus that a man is created anew. 11. Incorporation-This tremendous doctrine Paul alone mentions, and he makes it practically the foundation of all his exhortations to the saints with regard to their conduct and life. By "incorporation" we mean the fact that all those who are really saved and are new creatures in Christ Jesus become members of one organism (called "the Body of Christ"), which is more real than the very earth we tread upon-Christ Himself in Heaven being the Head of this Body and every real Christian a member of it. So that believers are thus members of Christ in Heaven and also members one of another here on earth. No wonder Paul is able to exhort the saints to love one another when they are members one of another! (Rom. 12; 1 Cor. 12; Eph. 4). 12. Inhabitation-The wonderful fact that the Body of Christ and each member of it individually is inhabited, indwelt, by the Holy Spirit Himself, and not only so, but that the Church is being "built together" as a great temple of God so that in the future God’s actual eternal dwelling place will be this wonderful, mysterious company built into a building called "a holy habitation of God in the Spirit." This mystery is a great and marvelous one-the fact that we are saved, are partakers now of the life of the Lord in glory, that the Holy Spirit indwells us. 13. Divine Exhibition-That is, that through the Church in the ages to come is to be made known that which God counts His "riches," even His Grace (Eph. 2:7, 3:10). Paul in his wonderful revelation declares that God hath reconciled the world to Himself; that God was in Christ (at the Cross) reconciling the world unto Himself (2 Cor. 5:19). Men do not know this, but they conceive that something stands between them and God before God will accept or forgive them. 2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 1 Timothy 3: And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. To be able to experience moral compunction so you can turn back to God, please hear Him speak to you, by hearing Him speak to you in Romans 1:18-3:20 Romans 1:18-3:20 classic.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=rom.+1%3A18-3%3A20&version=KJV

Oh Father God, freedom knowing you've adopted me confounds my mind; I am exceedingly grateful for Christ Jesus and in Him I am renewed and full of joy and love for everyone created in Your image, and am also exceedingly afraid I'll not be found in good soil. Thank you always for everything that is, everything that was and if anything for me, what's too come. I have nothing without You Lord and will serve You in the Way, Truth and Life and am freaked out by your power and ridiculous awesomeness of your Grace in my life. Forever in your Son's name, Yeshua.

Love these guys.

you seem to have swallowed the lies of MacArthur. The Catholic Catechism ""Worship is reserved for the Godhead alone" (Father Son and Holy Spirit) Catholics have been saying for 2000 years that salvation is only through Jesus Christ -- All sacraments are prayers to and gifts from Christ. Mary the Saints Our Priests and other Holy people can all help us but it is only through Christ that we are saved. If you want to know what Catholics believe go to "Catholic Answers" not someone like MacArthur who has a track record of lies against Gods Holy Catholic Church .

John, you don’t have a face for radio😊. RC you’ve been a family’s favorite for years, John my husband loves your teaching.

[@blackadam6445]

These are some of my favorite videos. Questions and answers offer up unique insights that I myself never arrive at when I read the scriptures by myself. I just am not as far long as these men that’s prolly it

[@mmac4005]

Beloved men of God, we so need more men like these!!! who preach the truth. God protect them from the evil that is so prevalent around us.

[@52RGD]

Margaret Macleod, How do you know that they preach the truth? Calvinism is only half the truth.... Election and Predestination' is indeed a biblical doctrine because it is in the scriptures... However John Calvin failed to understand the entirety of this doctrine.... He had known half of it only and added his own understanding to this doctrine of 'Election and Predestination'.... So, Calvinism is Truth mixed with Lies and the it is more dangerous than lies alone.... I have asked several Calvinists this question, which none of them were able to answer, because it was not taught by John Calvin who himself did not know the answer.... My Question : How did God Choose those whom He will save? Surely God have some basis for His choice.... He did not just pick them at random.... The Answer is: Of course God choose His own children... It is in the scriptures that there are two groups of people in this world, 'The Sheep and the goats' or 'The Wheat and the Tares'.... In the Parable of 'The wheat and Tares', Jesus Himself explained who are these two groups of people, and where did they come from... The 'Sheep or Wheat' are the true children of God, and they will be saved... The 'goats or tares' are of the devil and they are damned..... The Sheep or Wheat are the True children of God not only by creation but by HEREDITY.... I can prove this to you if you are interested.... The Sheep inherited the character of God, The goats inherited the character of the devil..... After the Fall of Adam and Eve, All the children of God are affected and inherited the fallen nature of Adam and Eve, they did not inherit the sin but the sinful nature. That's why Jesus came to give His life for ransom to save the Elect.... (hope this clarifies you) The elects were fallen and they need to be saved.... There is no OSAS in the scriptures, it is the wrong understanding of Calvin the murderer... All the elect will definitely be saved, not one will be lost.... John 17:12(KJV) ''While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name: those that you gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the '''son of perdition'''; that the scripture might be fulfilled.'' (the son of perdition is Judas, he is not the child of God, but the son of perdition, a goat) Example of Goats : Cain, Judas, some of the pharisees, pharaoh in the time of Moses.... Example of Sheep : Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, The apostles except Judas.... Note: The difference between the Sheep and the goats.... The Sheep though they are in the fallen state, they still love God and desire to please God, Not the goats, they don't love God but only their selves... Look at Cain, he has no respect to God, he faced God with anger and blamed God for his sin of killing Abel.... How about John 3:16 ? John 3:16(NIV) ''For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.'' ''Whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life''==>>Only the Elect will believe because they are the True Children of God and Have the character of God.... The goats are of the devil, they hate God and don't have the ability to repent... Look at Judas, he prefer to hang himself than to repent of what he has done.... ''Go unto all the world and preach the gospel to all creatures''==>>Only the Sheep will believe the gospel and repent..... How will we know if we are the true children of God who inherited the character of God like David, and Joseph, and the apostles, except Judas? I did not found any scripture for that, probably there is, but I have not find it... But I can give you a clue: If when you hear the words of God especially about the character of Jesus, and you want to know more, When there is a hunger in your Heart for the Truth of God's words, it is a good sign that you can be the chosen one... If you find yourself to be affectionate to the less fortunate people, If you can easily forgive others, these are signs that you are one of the elect and a true child of God.... May God bless you Margaret through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.....

The Forgiveness of Sin through the Blood of Jesus Christ is missing today, we sin 24/7 with or without Jesus Christ

I am so grateful to these men for their love for the right interpretation of the Word. They have opened my mind to the truth.

[@evanu6579]

susan van der merwe Their interpretation of the bible is anything but the truth. Calvinism is a cult. It can be proven as such.

[@CoraJean19]

Evan U Have you read your Bible? Please ask the Lord to show you the truth.
