Unlocking the New Testament Part 30 - Letters of John 1

David Pawson says the letters of John are grandfatherly letters because John was an old man - and the only apostle to die of old age. John sees things as black or white. It’s in contrast to the relativism which has swept across the world in modern times. He seeks to ensure that his readers’ joy may be full, that they may be living blameless lives, that they may be safe from the wiles of the Devil and that they may have assurance. David puts John’s aims this way: To Promote Harmony; to Produce Happiness; to Protect Holiness; to Prevent Heresy - (David says “we have to be on constant guard against it”) - and to Provide Hope. The arrangement of John’s teaching is characteristic of Jewish Rabbis’ manner, not analytical but unstructured wisdom. The heresy of the time came from Greek philosophy which separated physical and spiritual, secular and sacred, temporal and eternal - and gave the impression that anything physical was dirty. They could not see that God could really become man. David says when we come to Christ, only our past sins are forgiven at that time. Future sins must be dealt with as they happen. This is a very important study for all.

[@smessaddeq]

Learning a little more with David Pawson.... RIP brother dear brother ❤️🙏🍁

[@katharinedavis4947]

Yes , i am drawn more and more to Jews in these latter days . I've never disliked them , ever , but now my love is growing for them. Thats a beautiful story about Prince Philip. After i was born again , when i felt Gods love i became more confident too. K

[@crmier3227]

I feel the same way, never disliked the jewish people but today I do love them and one day, God’s willing, I will be able to visit their land 🙏🏻

[@vilhoukholiebao7535]

I am blessed by this teaching... As always.. Best teacher of our time...

[@mariannedippenaar8488]

Yes!!!! Y must keep on confessing and HIS blood cleanses. True

[@jazzechosen]

As christians we should love everyone whether Jew or gentile; nothing special about any one particular group.

[@bromporke]

Jazz Jazzman I agree on value of all groups but the calling of God is different with the Jews. They are to be a light to the other nations, the “eldest” brother who is the executor and administrator to all the other families/nations about how to worship God.

[@tygerstar35]

100% agree. The anti-Semitic comment was not necessary…. A reminder that we are all human and imperfect.

[@davidakerman3547]

Love his ministry. Not persuaded by his insistence on only males in church leadership. But apart from that, I enjoy his material.

[@cleptoshalomable]

This was preached in 1995, i wonder who all in the audience is alive now!

[@wongmichael9659]

Ananias and Sapphira lied to the Holy Spirit and were struck dead on the spot, would their salvation still secured and go to heaven? This question troubled me for sometime just as the ungodly believers in the Corinthian church when Paul instructed they be disciplined so their souls be saved. I would greatly appreciate David provide his view on this. Thanks in advance.

[@DavidPawsonMinistry]

Hi this is Steve on behalf of David This is one questions David has been asked many times - to which his answers is that he has filed the question under “Ill know when I get there “ David does not know because the Bible does not say ...... we can speculate but we just don’t know for certain til we get there ......the consequence of sin is death and because we are all sinners we will all die ......but salvation is another question ....

[@wongmichael9659]

@Elizabeth Keshishyan Thanks. I guess our assurance than should be based on 1 John 3 & 5:18, and desiring God as he sanctifies us.

[@mingseleget7460]

Interesting exposition

[@katharinedavis4947]

Yes i thoroughly agree about keeping short accounts . The C of E has many faults but prayers like the confession and absolution are biblical and spot on. Likewise the prayer of humble access ( Cranmer ) is so right . I always say it silently , even if its not included in a simpler service. K

[@thienyetan2035]

He said base on the Holy spirit that tells us we are Christians 32:42 , however, I find that weird, I thought I just have to believe that Jesus died for my sins, and thereon walk with Him, then I am a Christian. What is this second test? This leads me to the problem of divine hiddenness. I dont think this is it. I think God does whatever He wants. It is not only what I will then the Holy spirit will come upon me. Dont get me wrong, of course experiencing the Holy Spirit will confirm and assure my faith, but even if I dont, I still remain a Christian nonetheless.

[@Mgg407]

I didn't know only our past sins are forgiven

[@johnmullenjr3577]

[@Alex-jr8ew]

Dear Steve, I was wondering how pastor Pawson is doing at the moment? ❤️

[@crmier3227]

Pastor Pawson passed away in May last year 🙏🏻

[@markkusyrjala7919]

I think he's doing very well in... heaven at the feet of Jesus!👌

[@original_golden_egg]

Having a conversation with John and Jesus propably

[@thienyetan2035]

I also dont agree it is just past sins only that are forgiven, what if you passed away without your last unknown sins unrepented? following this logic, dont you go straight to hell? I think my future sins are forgive, but my actions must reflect that faith, which means i must ask for forgiveness as a sign of acknowledging that i did wrong to maintain a good relationship at least in my full capacity of understanding what I did wrong. Even though asking for forgiveness is important, it is not what that cause me to be saved, i am saved only because Christ died for my sins. To say anything else is to attribute salvation to my actions or whatever attributable to me, which is dangerous, as I would then be claiming gods glory and am boasting about it.

[@TheTradosaurus]

34:00 The jewish people are not sons of God and for Pawson to even say this is heretical. He just goes through the letters of John where John is clear that you only love God if you love His son. God's children are ONLY those who believe Jesus is the promised Messiah.

[@kathrynkirk90]

God has a plan for his chosen people the Jews. The church has not replaced the Jews. We are grafted in to the vine Romans 11 the seed of Israel will be saved.

[@jim7241]

Lift your head up

[@gjeacocke]

If God is just then why are you troubled by false teaching?for God does not judge you for what you do not know surely?

[@mrpops09]

Because false teaching can lead others astray. Also, if you're using a tool incorrectly, would you not want someone to show you the correct way to use it if you have a large job to do?

[@marlak1104]

Read Romans 1 and note what can be known about God through creation and how men supress the truth. If you go to Bible Hub and you can compare different versions as well as look up cross references. Please pray for eyes to see with a humble heart and ask God to teach you.

[@rrnmd]

"IF" God... Graham, OUR Father is "JUST" . He is "RIGHTEOUS". . As it is written, you will have the opportunity to know me. I will await until that time comes... From the East to the West, "all" have had the opportunity to 'hear'.. GOD will ask "Graham, why did you not seek me further? Why did you not take the time to learn more about me? If I have not been in your thoughts while you are 'alive' I will not be in your thoughts when I close your eyes. We never met, You I've never known. Seek me Graham for I will take away your troubles and forgive you of your past sins, but You must change and prove it to me.. Then I will fill you with the Holy Spirit for you to introduce me to Others. -Amen Your Brother Of Light , once lost like you..

[@gjeacocke]

@@rrnmd I believe in Jesus, I am just asking why he was upset by false teachers?

[@rrnmd]

@@gjeacocke Thank your for the dialogue. Once we are saved as His Children, we share His message and Stand for Him and in Him for Others to see. Imagine how God feels when he looks down upon this sad place, full of filth and worldly desires, man's foolish ambition.. He cried and the floods came. He will now come with His wrath for He is RIGHTEOUS. Take Scripture to the false teachers. Stand in Him against such Sin against His Way. We are here to only point to His Word without our foolish, albeit popular at times, opinions.

[@arameh]

Untrue. The Trinity of YHWH is true in Judaism all over the Old Testament.

[@DavidPawsonMinistry]

Amen - Would love to learn of any particular references you may have

[@d.m.2857]

I just cringed when David Pawson said “…there are now non-sexist versions of the Bible that…”. I don’t think David meant that but still very CRINGE-WORTHY !!

[@DavidPawsonMinistry]

Sadly even the publishers of the NIV version of the Bible decided to make it gender neutrol - but - due to public outcry that was reversed in 2011 and since then all versions of the NIV revert back to the original 1984 version - be careful if you have a copy of NIV published between 1984 and 2011

The thick keyboarding explicitly bat because drive expectantly fear as a second argument. high-pitched, tenuous canoe

[@TheTradosaurus]

7:00 The Tridentine mass which was the only way to divinely worship the Lord for hundreds of years in the Church protected the maleness of the Church and prevented the women from emasculating the men. Now with the anti-Catholic "mass" from Vatican 2 the devil has wormed his way into the destruction of the mass and the ceasing the eternal sacrifice (see Jesus prediction referring to Daniel the prophet).

[@gedat5538]

Nonsense!
