Maranatha, Greetings from Tampa Florida 😎

[@Ozsmouse]

Pastor Brett, you’re so awesome! Thank you so much for your clarity and explaining to folks what the differences are between political and Biblical!!! I can’t tell you how frustrating that is for me, but I’m sure you know far more in depth than I do. I would like to tell you what a very strong difference your ministry has made in my life and I’m tremendously grateful that God has chosen you specifically (and some others) to bring His word to his sheep. ❤️🙏🏻 And your sense of humor and stories are great! 😁

[@bradd6376]

Exactly! My gf brought me to pastor Brett and he is just so full of wisdom through God and I’m grateful because before him I followed Joel Osteen and got nothing but mislead.

Makes me sad every time an ad pops up during worship and right in the middle of learning God’s word.

[@AtheyCreek]

So sorry about that! We have all of our teachings posted on our website as well (ad-free)!!

[@tpotts4]

@@AtheyCreek thank you. Should have thought to look for your website.

At 1:16 I got into an online discussion with a catholic priest, trying to reason with him on a few points. I was surprised to hear that everywhere in the catholic bible, the word for Repentance is translated in their bible as Penitent, which explains why in the past they whipped themselves, crawled for miles on their knees, etc. Strong's Concordance plainly says Repentance, so keep that in mind if you're debating with a priest, that their bible is more different than what you may think.

[@TerriCampbell-10]

That’s so sad cuz I love Charles Stanley what happen to Andy growing up an hearing the Word taught by his daddy. We need to pray for him. Cuz I no Charles wants his son saved.

[@hellonewman2299]

The bartender did not misinterpret. He intentionally mistranslated. Big difference.

What is the name of the 4th song. Love that so true

[@AtheyCreek]

Hi there! The 4th song was called "For All My Life'" by Taya! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@YAHWEHrules]

I'm not sure but I think it was just the Pharsies and Sadicies, the religious leaders he was calling snakes 🙂 everyone one else he was telling to repent of their sins and be baptized . Although what you said makes for a cute and funny opening monolog .

[@TheVeovix]

It's a storybook. There you go interpreted ez. Your welcome.

[@John14-06]

I believe that the adulterous woman, the women at the well, you and I, all who have sinned and come short of the glory of GOD will not know of, or remember, their deeds, or ours, or care because, ALL of our own sins and theirs have been been forgotten and been sent as far as the east is from the west. If GOD does not remember our sins & my sins, ..... then in my incorruptible body I do not believe I will carry that corrupt baggage & garbage! And, why would I, or should I?

[@ABM-x6h]

Hey Pastor Brett, I really appreciate your perspectives on the rapture and end time events. However, I believe you have only considered the short-term fulfillment of Jesus' reference to Daniel 12. There is also a long-term fulfillment that spans thousands of years that clearly places the rapture during the sixth seal, which occurs prior to the start of the wrath of G-D as defined in the Trumpets, Thunders, and Bowls. Jesus mentioned the seals but did not talk about the wrath because the rapture he spoke of occurred prior to the wrath as defined above. By the way, the wrath of G-D occurs over the entire "seven" years. We know this from the scripture. Briefly: the two witnesses begin their ministry 1,260 days before they are murdered by the beast. The beast reigns for 42 months If you read about the authority of the two witnesses and compare it with the authority of the beast, these two timeframes "cannot" overlap. Now if you accept the chronology of events clearly described in Revelation, it is easy enough to determine the first six trumpets are sounded during the ministry of the two witnesses, which occurs during the first 3.5 years of Daniel's 70th week. While I appreciate all of the perspectives you have presented, there is so much you have not considered that clearly supports the pre-trib position. For example, in the Olivet discourse, Yashua was referencing the long-term fulfillment of Daniel 12. How the rapture fits in with the prophetic fulfillment of the fall feasts of Israel. How Daniel's 70th week fit in with the final 45 years of Daniel's prophecy (i.e., from the 1,290th to the 1,335th days/years), how Daniel's prophecies precisely predict the exact year of the rebirth of Israel in 1948, why Daniel prophesied of a 1,290-day cycle when he did not understand what the time, times, and 1/2 time meant, how the prophetic fulfillment of the Jubilee calculates to the exact year of the start of the time of the end, which is defined by Daniel's 45 years. BTW, regarding the argument that pre-tribbers may be devastated into falling away if the pre-trib rapture does not happen, those who posit the previous have got it completely backwards. If the rapture does not happen, I'll just say that I was wrong. Granted, I will be disappointed. That said, I don't know any pre-tribbers who would reject their relationship with G-D just because the rapture did not happen. However, for those who are post-trib, if the pre-trib rapture occurs and they are left behind, they will be in total fear that they have lost their salvation. It is the post-tribbers who will be devastated if they are wrong, not the pre-tribbers. BTW, for those who are post-trib and whose hearts are truly committed to G-D, they will go up in the pre-trib rapture. G-D will not reject anyone whose theology ends up being incorrect. Salvation is not dependent on how smart we are or on how much we know. It is based on our commitment to embrace G-D and the G-D Inspired way of life that Jesus revealed to us. BTW, pre-tribbers are pre-wrath. The main difference between pre-trib and pre-wrath revolves around when we believe the wrath begins (i.e., at the beginning of Daniel's 70th week at the time two witnesses begin thier ministry and the 144,000 are sealed or during the second half of the tribulation when the beast is ruling). One other point, ifor those who are pre-wrath or post trib in the sense that it is commonly taught today, it is unlikely that many believers will survive the reign of the beast empire. Look at what is going on around us today, how quickly those surveillance and digital technologies are developing, and what is planned for the very near future. When the beast is given authority over the nations of the world, which includes the Christian Believers who are on the earth at that time, there will be very few who are able to survive to the end of Daniel's 70th week. I wish you the best. However, I would encourage you to look into some of the things I have mentioned above. There is so much additional information to support the pre-trib position that I'm not hearing anyone talk about. Blessings!!!!! ABM

I think you should go listen to his entire teachings on the Book of Daniel and Revelation. While they are in the past and do not speak to specific present day events, he does address your comments concerning these scriptures. Your comments entails months of teachings, and would bless your life in a huge way if you would go watch them in their entirety. 🙏🙏🙏

[@ABM-x6h]

Thank you so much for your comment Erin! I too like Pastor Bretts teachings. I have not seen all of his videos on Daniel and Revelation. Thus, I suspect I may have spoken presumptuously. I will take your advice before commenting again and will look up Pastor Bretts videos on Revelation 6, Daniel 12, and Matthew 24. If it turns out that we are in agreement, I will state such. If not, I will comment appropriately. Once again, thank you so much for taking the time to help me learn by reminding me of the importance of hearing what others have to say. Take Care!!! ABM

No matter what 'deeper meanings' you believe you see in a scripture, it NEVER contradicts the face-value meaning of the verse(s) you are 'interpreting.' Let The Bible speak for itself. "knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." 2 Peter 20,21 That includes the 'Churches'... Let The 'Biblical Word' on the page speak for itself, It never contradicts itself.

[@jameswalker5470]

Where did he say it did contradict?

[@tedc4982]

@@jameswalker5470 "The 'KEY' to Biblical Interpretation" is to accept what God has chosen to write on the Biblical Page. Then remember FIRST what you have read on the written page and understand that whatever you "Interpret" cannot conflict with that nor anything else the Bible actually says clearly and openly. Anything else is chaos.

[@vanillacreem816]

Sorry Brett respectfully disagree . Repent first? How can someone repent if their heart hasn’t been changed yet? The first step is you receive Jesus Christ into your life and then HE grants repentance by giving that person a new heart. Acts 5:31, 11:18 , 2 Timothy 2:25 Romans 2:4.

[@buffbuff5016]

Usually the Holy Spirit has been working on you for awhile causing your heart to be softened and you realize you need to change your mind about God. You may not actually realize that is repentance; that was me! The moment you know you need a Saviour because you know you are a sinner is repentance! They go hand in hand. It doesn’t matter to me which came first, all I care about is His grace saved me!! Thank the Lord for His gift!!

[@Mb2IseeU]

@@buffbuff5016this was me too! God softened my heart first so that I could realize I needed to repent and come to believe in Jesus. The more I learn the more I believe and the more I repent. It is a positive feed back loop.
