Bruce W. Gore, M.A., J.D., has offered educational materials for those interested in the Christian faith for about 50 years. He served on the adjunct faculty of Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington for over 30 years, while maintaining a private practice in trial law. His informal and relaxed style, combined with rich content, have made Bruce a popular lecturer, teacher, and preacher, for many years. Bruce offers educational materials in Bible, history, and theology from the perspective of the Reformed Tradition, but his even-handed approach to his topics have made him popular with many from a variety of other traditions as well. Bruce is now retired, but continues to develop and upload material of help to many, and it is his firm hope that you will find these presentations a blessing and encouragement! Bruce is very proud of his daughter Noelle, whose blog has been an encouragement to many. boxhilltalks.substack.com
I am looking for Jesus to show up with His angels separating the saved from the lost or the sheep 🐑 from the goats 🐐 and the final judgments. Not a 3rdtemple in israel and a antichrist…
Amen and Amen. Thank you, Lord for your testimony and spiritual insights through Bruce Gore. Amazing!!. What a way to end this amazing book of John. I did not expect you to serve me with this kind of food. My mouth is dumbfounded. The interpretation was wonderful and so was the whole book. Thank you for this road to Emmaus I have been with you through your appointed servant in Bruce Gore. Amazing and ever be indebted to you for introducing me to your teaching through Bruce Gore, more so for the Book of John in which week in and week out I have been looking forward for the manna to drop and you enabling me to claim it. Continue to Bless Bruce Gore and his family and gift them with all their heart desires according to your will. In your son's name Father, I pray Amen
Love Bruce Gore. A modern-day Christian giant. With regards to Arminianism and total depravity I do believe he is framing the matter incorrectly. The matter perhaps is better understood by considering Romans 7:19-25.
I think the story of Joseph leaves us a Most Important message: "God Permits the Worst Things in Life to be Turned into the Greatest Blessings upon Humans Making the Right Choice".
Actually this David is circumcised. Read an article that modern circumcision differed from Biblical circumcision, so technically this could be the Biblical David. Id have to hunt for the article but yes its a common argument that this isnt David and research was put into this
Would like to know the bible passage read by Bruce Gore before each lesson. After 65+ years of reading the bible, l continue to be educated in God’s amazing story. Thank you !!
At 42:47 Bruce, you refer to baptism as having the seal of the Holy Spirit inscribed on you which should give us great comfort and great peace knowing we have that inscription written on us when we are baptized - God autographed you at your baptism. So, in other words, are you saying that all infants are saved when they are baptized because that is what it sounds like?
There is nothing we do that 'guarantees' regeneration. That is God's sovereign business. 'They were born, not of the blood (race), nor of the well of the flesh (human efforts), nor of the will of man (human authority), but of God.' (John 1:13). God normally works through standard means, however (e.g., baptism, nurture and admonition of the Lord, etc.), so parents are assured that as they act in genuine faith and responsible parenting, they may confidently rest in the assurance that 'the promise is to you and to your children.'
@@GoreBruce So, in other words, if a person believes in the gospel they will be saved, whether they are baptized as infants or not. My question is, when is a person saved?
Finally-finally-finally acknowledgement that it was Hatshepsut who was the Pharao's Daughter who rescued baby Moses from the river Nile. It all adds up : ANYONE who lets him/her-self be USED BY GOD will rcve BLESSINGS in life (which explains why Hatshepsut is considered to be the most successful ruler of Egypt even though a female). Secondly, if she brought up Moses to be her successor, she would be sure he learned not only Martial Arts (remember that Moses singlehandedly "took-care" of the many shepherds bothering his future wife and her friends?) but she'd take care that Moses learned history (which GOD PERFECTED on mount Sinai when Moses went up to meet HIM) Thirdly, it ecplains why Moses was not a good talker : according to legend, the priests claimed that Moses who was an infant at that time, would one day, although descendant of slaves, try to usurb the throne and thus should be put to a test. They placed a burning coal on one side and a piece of sweet in front of the toddler. If he were to take the delicacy and eat it he would try to usurb the throne snd put to death. If he took the burning coal and put it in his mouth, they would let him go. Moses took the burning coal and put it in his mouth... which is why he was heavy of speech and needed Aaron to speak for him to the Pharao...
Great lecture. Although I prefer the late date for the exodus. Just to give one reason, you mentioned that chariots were not introduced untill after the time of Joseph, yet we see him riding a chariot in the about in Genesis. Anyway glad I found this channel though it looks like I have alot of interesting videos to watch!
Yes, I should have clarified at the time that chariots as weapons of war were not introduced until the 18th dynasty. Chariots as transportation for royalty were commonly used earlier. Thanks for the kind feedback.
I'm writing a novel about Hatshepsut and the Exodus. I believe God used her to help with the Exodus. I believe Moses was Senenmut and she pushed for him to be Pharaoh. Thutmoses iii and Amenhotep II blamed her for everything and tried to wipe her, Neferure and Senenmut from record. The dates the they have for Ancient Egypt and the Bible puts Moses being born way before Hatshepsut. That's why I believe the Exodus was 440 years like the Septuagint Bible says. That would put the Exodus at 1406 and will align everything. 1. Hyksos King Apepi defeated Seqenenre Tao and Kamose. 2. Ahmose defeated King Apepi and started controlling and abusing the Hebrews. 3. Amenhotep I continued controlling the Hebrews. 4. Thutmose I took over had Hatshepsut and Thutmose II 5. Thutmose II killed Hebrew babies 6. Hatshepsut prayed for a son God sent her Moses. 7. Thutmose II died 8. Hatshepsut became Regent let Jochebed raise moses. 9. Hatshepsut became Pharaoh nobody would question her about Moses being raised as Pharaoh as Senenmut 10. Thutmose III wanted the title and poisoned Hatshepsut so he could get moses out of the way. 11. Thutmose III sent moses back to being a slave. 12. Moses kills guard 13. Thutmose III tried to kill kill moses but he fled. 14. 40 years later Amenhotep II is pharaoh and doesn’t know moses.
Praise God Amen. I cannot thank you enough Lord for Bruce Gore. The way you join the dots through him. Amazing!. Thank you Lord for your living word and keeps transforming me. I love you Lord. Continue to grant Bruce Gore his heart desires according to your will and in Christ's name.
Amen and many thanks. Your sidebar comment during the introduction on hitting rock bottom before becoming a true disciple really hit home with me. Thank you for your efforts, your wonderful teaching, and for sharing this amazing account of John.
Maybe you can answer this question for me. I seem to cause a ruckus when I ask this question but its not my intent. Its just seems to be a logical question based upon the story. I noticed it awhile back and would like to know if you can answer it for me. Question: Who is the Father of Jesus? YHWH or the co-equal 3rd person Holy Spirit? Since the gospels clearly tell us Mary conceived Jesus via the Holy Spirit, I'd assume the co-equal 3rd person would be the Father. And this causes a bit of a problem because the church doctrine of the trinity is pretty strict with who is who. The Father cannot be the 3rd person nor the Son and vice versa. So then why isnt the 3rd person HS noted as the Father of Jesus. Thank you very much.
Well, it is certainly a fair question. There are a couple of things to keep in mind. First, the entire use of 'family' descriptions (e.g., father, son) are human analogies intended to gives us a way to think of God based on our human experience. God transcends those categories, of course, and we should be cautious about forcing God into our familiar human definitions. Second, the idea of God as the Son eternally predates the birth of Jesus by the Virgin Mary. Jesus is not the Son of God because he was born humanly. He was eternally begotten (Psalm 2) but became flesh in this birth.
@@GoreBruce I think I agree. Which leads me to believe that the Trinity as defined by most churches is totally incorrect. Our human language and definitions have totally missed the mark on this religious concept. IMHO.
Such BS. You have been programmed by the Judites. The texts are corrupted. Caesarian was King Herod who was Jesus. His King bloodline moved to Europe after the betrayal in 66AD in which the massacre of the innocents occurred in Jerusalem. Rome helped Herod, because Romans are Israelites from the 10 tribes.
Amen and Amen. Amazing thank you Lord for your Risen testimony through Bruce Gore. Continue Lord to bless him and to continue to gift him with your spiritual wisdom. Amazing!!!!
Sennacherib ran his mouth, belittling God only to find out that God will not be mocked - whatever a man sows that he will reap. A plague that decimates your army, followed yrs later by being assassinated by your own flesh and blood has a way of doing that.
Augustin failed by not acknowledging the angelic aspect of Gen. 6. He was too into rejecting his prior Manichaeism to rightly divide the Word in that case.
I don't recall which lecture either. You can research my source for those comments, however, by reading Michael Heiser's book: The Unseen Realm. www.amazon.com/Unseen-Realm-Recovering-Supernatural-Worldview/dp/1577995562/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3F5G357DW0KDK&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.-YAvmSoqaSkSdkt9uHJbxjpm9AD1N6lTiYEnOOWvlKfZiTaEn8zG6MelHvNJ5daceBDjHtx2f4_mzduSidk5DhJdMGHJ1Uo5Uy4esR549-TFeYxMmrpMZNbB7BMWwLcdFPD9c2PSbWAMEJ5jnhqiGcbH45ugSEd3oe9phhEyPs2vT2C70kdc7wNYdUE3mNUpAfoZUJqrkQrOTCPm4ITFiv2I2WKMNXF27_Q67sWFjf0dEv8Z_waFLjpDaR-S2qZXohxCib6BXv6cu858hjl8kPhfjTuqJpc8D0E83r3KVIQ.dRg5olVB0jyR_g5D6h2u99L-oPFgPFVmg5nOhBbMsvk&dib_tag=se&keywords=michael+heiser&qid=1717681873&sprefix=michael+heiser%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1
@@GoreBruce Thanks for your reply: I absolutely love the information you present. You've depended my faith, and I'm sure many other's faith as well. Keep up the great work! I think I may have confused you with another speaker; one Chuck Missler, whom did several videos covering the Nephilim. He's gone on to be with the Lord, but his lesson endure. Since I was a small child, I've been interested in Genesis 6:1-4. I now understand why--this the foundation for the world we live in today. At any rate, thank you for your willingness to share what the Lord has given you. Love in Christ, WB
Blows me away that the flat earth cult CLAIMS to be sticking up for the Bible and God's word, when all they are doing is DRAMATICALLY discounting the unfathomable awesomeness of God. They want to reduce a Universe that is so vast, that it's magnitudes beyond what we can even possibly imagine. THIS, they want to reduce to a 24-thousand-mile snow globe. WHICH speaks more to the awesomeness and majesty of God: the ENTIRETY of His creation fitting in a dome with a 24,000-mile base, or a universe that exceeds 550 SEXTILLION miles across? Clouds of dust and gasses that form the shapes of Sharks 90 TRILLION miles long, or Horseheads that are Trillions of miles tall! These are numbers that almost make me mad to think about, it almost makes you dizzy thinking about it. But then you think about the fact that we will liver for all eternity, then suddenly making a universe so ridiculously vast, makes practical sense, not just for showing off purposes.
anarchy..just it seems temporarily. Rome ..Lasted a long long time until the Arab Turkish conquestsI. It was a phenomenal educational video.....learned so much..!!! 😀
paul never called any one in any congregation a "christian", at least that i can find. the word only appears 3 times in the new testament. i've even heard religious jews scoff that paul would never admit to being a jew!! paul only ever called himself a jew. he was at antioch... where they were first called "christians", yet paul never uses the term in any of his letters, all written after he spent time in antioch.. no jew or gentile in the new testament identifies themselves as christians. only from outsiders. "christian" was a pejorative. jerome, i believe, points this out as well.
Man. If only modern Christians took after the example of St. Ambrose. Barricading ourselves inside the church for a week with the Roman soldiers outside refusing to let the Arian be instated as bishop. I think it has such parallel today. When you think of all the formally great church institutions (Methodist, episcopal, Presbyterian, Lutheran) that have now been overtaken by a Godless form of theological liberalism, you have to wonder what would have happened if the remaining faithful Christians had barricaded themselves in (metaphorically) instead of leaving the institution all together and forming smaller independent churches. I’m really seeing that the church has faced these problems throughout history but just responded more boldly. The Arians were the theological liberals of that day.
This was the most astute and comprehensive partial preterist, postmillenial study of Revelations that I have seen to date. Dr. Gore, you have advanced the project of worldwide Christianity.
In this video or the last one you mention the God of the Old Testament and he is the same as the God of the New Testament. I am currently reading through Jeremiah. God is warning his people of imminent destruction. My question is who do you think is doing the talking to Jerimiah? God the father, or God the son?
Dispensationalism has it errors in some of the ways it's taught no doubt. "Times and seasons" would be a more proper terminology to use. However, this teaching has been on the decline for decades and Anti and Post-millennialism has been on the rise in a time when the church world is in the midst of a "great falling away" or willing departure from the truth. Something to think about.
Something else to think about is that there has not been one century in the history of the church when thoughtful people have not said the same thing about the days in which they were living.
Bruce says something interesting here see transcript 1:01:40 '...there is a coming but not every coming is the second coming...." are we to understand that Jesus did come in 70 A.D.? if so, did this coming also rapture the christians "in a twinkle of an eye" and meet Jesus in the air; however, the second coming has not happen yet? the New Testament scriptures, in particular paul, seems to imply Christ would have a coming in the Apostolic Age.
@GoreBruce, just found your channel. Listening to this series. Long time post-millennial/preterist, your history lesson about Scofield was of particular interest to me (because I think Dispensationalism has done great damage to the Church in America), and I’ll certainly be listening to your lecture on Darby. Thanks for your work and you even-handed, clear, sincere and thorough presentations. God bless you!
So do the sheep hear the voice of the spirit or the voice of Jesus and how do you know the difference based upon the doctrine of the trinity set by the Catholic church?
Jesus says, my sheep hear my voice (John 10). We hear the voice of Christ from external sources (e.g., a preacher, a friend, etc.) but the inner testimony of the Spirit confirms the voice of Christ in our hearts. It is subjective, but it is also real. Jesus gives this instruction to warn against false religious leaders in John 10.
@@GoreBruce And where is this noted in scripture? Jesus stated the Words of Truth he spoke were coming from the Father and THEY are spirit and THEY are the life. Not himself as the chosen prophet of Isaiah 40:3 in the hebrew language. He clearly stated he was speaking by the Fathers Spirit living in in him.
@@GoreBruceIn other words our Father is the Shepherd of our Souls (psalm 23). Jesus, a SON of MAN, merely spoke the words of Truth by his Spirit FOR our Father not of himself. As he clearly stated. I think this is where people have gotten deceived about the exactly who Jesus was. Our brother not our God Almighty. Isaiah 43:11.
@@GoreBruce "I have said YE are elohim and are all SONS of the Most High". Psalm 85:6 Being an elohim is not being THE ONE and ONLY Elohim. Isaiah 45:5-7.
