God is the only one in existence that will congratulate someone for their faith when power is taken from Him and not condemn them...

Spoiling us on a Thursday I see... :D

[@truth4life350]

PHAR•I•SEE: a member of an ancient Jewish sect, distinguished by STRICT observance of the traditional and written law, and commonly held to have pretensions to superior sanctity. DE•MAND•ING: (of a task) requiring much effort The ancient biblical Pharisees were a group of religious men who sincerely believed that their righteous EFFORTS of observing and practicing the laws would bring them closer to God and qualify them for heaven. They would often make it a point to verbally condemn other Jews (including Christ) who did not measure up to THEIR unbiblical standard of righteousness. They had a very STRONG commitment to faithfully perform the ceremonial and traditional laws that were given to them by God. Even though they had refused to acknowledge Christ as their Messiah, they still maintained their commitment to their Jewish beliefs and traditions. Their FAITH was anchored in their tradition and not Christ 😞.....pretty much like the modern day churches. You may be wondering, what does all this have to do with me?.... because I’m under GRACE and not the LAW. Well, I would strongly encourage you to take a good long look at what Christ had to say about modern day Christians and their connection with the ancient Pharisees. 📖 Matthew 5:20 📖 For I tell YOU that UNLESS your righteousness (commitments) surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, YOU will certainly NOT enter the kingdom of heaven. Christ is DEMANDING that every true believer be COMMITTED to Him, more than the committed Pharisees were to their ceremonial and traditional laws; in order for us to ENTER into heaven. Is this vital information being taught to YOU? 😕 Sent with love, take care and God bless ❤️🙏🏾

[@abrolovesyall6920]

@9:17 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@MrsTM17]

...I brought a friend???? Please explain what you meant.

[@GraemeAlexander]

Judah made a sex joke, he then took on the voice of someone visiting the church, like come on Judah I brought a friend to church and this is what you say lol.

[@dawnstonerock4253]

Maybe best to not ask

[@MrsTM17]

@@dawnstonerock4253 Yet it's important TO ask this kind of thing, isn't it? YIKES!

[@tylertube8099]

He was speaking from the perspective of a person in the audience. Like as if someone in the audience brought a friend to church for the first time

[@karimahreign]

Thanks for explaining everyone! I had the same question. Wouldn’t recommend multi-tasking while listening. I love Pastor Judah. He never disappoints with his authenticity!😂😉🙌🏾

[@David-lm2bv]

Is masterbation a gift? According to Judah is it. Smh

[@LifeClipsPodcast]

This was SO bad on 1,000 levels!! Judah, oh my, you WILL be held accountable!! I used to feel bad for all of you false teachers!! Not anymore!! Nothing in the entirety of that dreadful message was biblical!! 😕

[@kengardens]

Mam, it is not the Holy Spirit speaking through you, but the spirit of religion. You don’t have the authority to convict anyone when you’re also a sinful human. Only our perfect God can.

[@LifeClipsPodcast]

@@kengardens The Bible is very clear that we will know these false teachers by their fruit. Stop looking at man and start looking to Jesus. You have the spirit of apostasy I'd hate to be in your shoes.

[@LifeClipsPodcast]

@@kengardens and in God's eyes I'm not a sinful human. Does my flesh still fail me of course it does but God does not see me as sinful. That's a misnomer you might want to read your Bible!!

[@guandongwuol3408]

Hey Judah, I don't think Jesus called you to be a shepherd/pastor. Maybe he called you to some other work within the body. Pastor is not it. You are making a mockery of that office. You should consider stepping down from being a pastor. You are not mature enough, or able to teach well enough concerning the whole counsel of God. You are entertaining to watch in the wordly sense. And that terribly grievs gods children. If you don't step down, you are continually going to expose yourself.

[@GraemeAlexander]

Not one thing Judah said in this sermon was unbiblical. God loves you and god loves Judah!

[@TrainPersevereWin]

Sorry bro, I think you're well meaning but blunt truth here: You're a baby baby Christian in need of desperate diverse church community and accountability. You sound really hurt still and this was you reaching out. You won't get a reply from Judah or his church, but I'm here to quickly say your comment was out of place and you are not even remotely qualified to say those kinds of things. You have a lot of strict training to do (1 Corinthians 9:25) and you are more than capable (Romans 8:31). It would be the right thing to do to delete your comment, but it's your choice. Blessings

[@dawnstonerock4253]

You don't have the authority to judge that. Not for you to say

[@kengardens]

It’s “Christians” who say things like this that drive people away from God, not closer. If your faith makes people hate Jesus then that’s not the true faith idc what you say.
