Well that first minute saved me half an hour. 😢

All shallows are clear. Deep waters run deep.

[@e.m.8094]

The Bible Project Podcast with Tim Mackie is also currently doing a deep dive into the Sermon on the Mount. Highly recommend.

Excellent work as usual.

Amen

[@john2510]

This is a good example of people twisting the words of the gospel to their own purposes, to reconcile the word of God to their own very different belief systems. In most cases, the language of the bible is clear. You either believe it and are committed to follow it, or you are not.

[@roblangsdorf8758]

Actually, they did a good job. I would have said more about "Judge, not that you be not judged." Because Matthew 7:20 tells us that, "by their fruits you will know them." So there is a place where we are supposed to judge.

[@alg11297]

As someone who is familiar with the Old Testament, it seems that the Sermon on the Mount was an attempt to put Jesus in place of Moses. Moses gave the laws after he received them from God on Mt Sinia. The sermon here is not really laws but sayings with no instructions. Also, the Sermon was not said to the few desciples of Jesus but to a "multitude" .

[@popnsickle7221]

Christians believe that Jesus is the (Logos) God's word made flesh, therefore He was the law given to Moses. Also, anyone who follows Christ is considered a disciple. Pastor Rob has stated this correctly. You may be thinking of the few Apostles.

[@heatherbowman9450]

why does the comment section say 2 comments but I only see 1? and like KZbin should fix this and if anyone agrees leave a complaint in the comments section in any video you watch if you can

[@garryrichardson4572]

I have thirty looking at me.❤ most of the time at the top it will be preset to Top comments but if you tap on newest or all you get all comments.

[@HaleStorm49]

@36:27 thats a great rhyme - but what about exaltation? You can be saved without works, but not exalted.

[@HaleStorm49]

@38:25 this would have beem a good place to discuss if the person who keeps the 10 commandments and thr person who lives by the Sermon on the mount both go to the same place after this life?

[@encouraginglegacy]

What do _you_ believe, respectively interpret?

[@TheNabOwnzz]

Nobody can keep the Ten Commandments. Christ kept them for us.

[@HaleStorm49]

@@encouraginglegacy That salvation and eternal life are treated as the same thing by mainstream christianity today, but different requirements were given for each in the scriptures. Read what Christ tells the rich young ruler about gaining eternal life and tell me what you think.?

[@roblangsdorf8758]

When you study the whole gospel, you discover that it isn't about keeping any particular thing. Rather it requires that we recognize that we cannot keep either the 10 commandments or the sermon on the mount. Therefore we need another way to qualify. Jesus, who knew no sin, was able to die in our place, paying for our short comings. His resurrection showed that he could overcome death and provide a way for us to be restored after death. What we are required to do is to acknowledge that He has taken care of everything and thank Him for that.

[@HaleStorm49]

@@roblangsdorf8758 which of the 10 commandments can you not keep?

[@drstevej2527]

Yes because no one else offered up these concepts long before Jesus existed.

[@HaleStorm49]

@6:45 this is why Christ spoke in parables. He said that the meek shall inherit the Earth and that "thy kingdom come" Christ is trying to teach us that Earth will be an outpost of Heaven - the kingdom is coming here. Why would the existing heaven need to be colonized?? Even the simplest language is too confusing.

[@magichobbiest3425]

He also said he spoke in parables so people may not understand and then repent and be forgiven in Mark 10 and 12. What you're saying makes sense because then it doesn't destroy the Jewish belief of the resurrection and life of everlasting peace forever on earth. I didn't explain the last part too well

[@HaleStorm49]

@3:19 what? Why wouldn't you want to improve yourself?

[@HaleStorm49]

@36:17 This should be its own discussion. He is agreeing that you must do the work but that works dont matter. Sectarianism cannot square these two comtrary ideas. They dont align. If you tell people that works dont matter long enough - they will stop producing works and you will end up with what we have now.

[@TheNabOwnzz]

Nobody is saying works don't matter; they don't matter in that nothing of works can in any way save you, but it is a necessary consequence of faith, and the person infused with such a Spirit will, by his new nature, automatically be compelled to do such works, not to be saved, but because he wants to please Christ. This entire contention of yours has already been refuted countless times by the reformators.

[@HaleStorm49]

@@TheNabOwnzz So according to you and the reformers....those infused with the most faith will do the most good works?

[@TheNabOwnzz]

​@@HaleStorm49That depends on the circumstance. The robber on the cross didn't do any good work because he had no opportunity to do them after repenting. But again, because of their faith, they will be naturally inclined to want to do them.

[@HaleStorm49]

@@TheNabOwnzz You are taking one misunderstanding and stacking it on top of another.

[@TheNabOwnzz]

@@HaleStorm49 Neither is a misunderstanding; this is the only correct exegesis.

[@merlercer]

😂😂😂😂

[@marynewsham9896]

Sadly it appears that the earth is not now being inherited by the meek, but by the incompetents.

[@magichobbiest3425]

Maybe we're not interpreting it correctly

[@SwordOfApollo]

If the Founding Fathers had been meek, they would have submitted to King George. After all, Paul told us in Romans 13:1 that the governing authorities, (the pagan Romans at the time) were established by the Lord. Both Paul and Peter told enslaved people to submit to their earthly masters. (Colossians 3:22, 1 Peter 2:18) Instead, the Founding Fathers asserted themselves and their principles, aimed toward earthly happiness, rather than "spiritual salvation." It was by being the opposite of meek, submissive and suffering that the USA was founded. It was by individuals' earthly pursuit of happiness in science and industry that the USA grew into an economic and military superpower.

[@imcat-holic10]

4:29 . MEEKNESS IS STRENGTH UNDER CONTROL. 😊❤

[@SwordOfApollo]

From Cambridge dictionary: meek: "quiet, gentle, and not willing to argue or express your opinions in a forceful way" The meaning of "meek" is not just anything one pastor decides to make up, to rationalize his religion. @@imcat-holic10

[@TheNabOwnzz]

That's why America has always been rotten to the very core.

[@encouraginglegacy]

Read upon the original meaning from the Greek translation. Meek isn't how you use the word today.

[@roblangsdorf8758]

Granted that America shouldn't have rebelled against King George. Even so, God seems to have been with the American people in many situations. Peter John Marshall wrote 2 books that looked at the many ways that God has delivered our nation. Currently we are at a place where we need to repent as a people and seek God's guidance. Without massive changes, we will fail and be destroyed as a country.

[@dada-lj2wg]

Lol

[@wownice1029]

False teacher.

[@tookie36]

Right?!? This was a disgusting interpretation of the sermon on the mount. “Blessed are the meek”… which apparently means we are the best. We are the greatest.

[@wownice1029]

Deeply anti-evangelical, no understanding of God's word. It's demonic, honestly.@@tookie36

[@SolitaryReaper666]

still clinging to old jewish tales to avoid fear of death? hilarious!

[@naomifehr669]

Ah, but we all die, don't we?

[@jonnyw82]

No my friend, being an authentic follower of Jesus is the best way to LIVE

[@unclemaple4528]

Go Vegan Avatar? You have your own tales you live by, yet which will liberate and inspire the many? Not a cult that ignores the the health of the followers and the inevitable suffering of any harvest, vegetable or animal. The doctrine that goes back thousands of years is ahimsa: which is do less harm. That doctrine does not speak to deriding another's beliefs, because you lack the ability to be confident enough in your own beliefs to live and let live? The lessons are universal, it is a 'we and us', and 'I and thou', not a 'you you, me me' centred view....

[@FLABrowncoat]

Lefty master-ratheists do not argue, they *project.* OP is referring to "terror avoidance," a "theory" advanced by a b**thurt "new atheist". In truth, it says far more about OP and their ilk than it does about successful faith-based lifestyles. Blue states crapped their collective pants over COVID, because it reminded them of their mortality. They also tear down statues, even those of revolutionary figures ideologically aligned with them, because these remind them that time indeed passes and, again, they are mortal and will die someday. TL;DR : It doesn't take a genius to observe that religion is not a crutch for people who cope with death, rather, the truth is the exact opposite: Atheism is usually a crutch for people who can't handle *life* .

[@magichobbiest3425]

I don't want an afterlife because I'm scared of living all over again. Lmao. Could I say the same to atheist,that they're afraid of living again so they think there's no afterlife 😂. Even as an atheist I believed in an afterlife especially after studying Sam Parnia. We'll know soon because in the future we'll be able to bring back people who are dead for two hours
