Very good, so far. Also - did all angels, even the... less than sane ones... Miss that presence? Right over, their heads, in heaven? Before the civil war, there? Oh, and did Torquemada, too: thank you. Meantime... in 2 Samuel 12:15... I am sure, a baby... erm, could not have missed, some degree... Of Presence?
John Ride is my 5th Great Grandfather. Do you know where I can find his diary entries and things like that? His son in law, Samuel West is also my 4th Great Grandfather, and I was wondering if there is a boom like that on him?
The Primitive Methodist Magazine printed long extracts from his journals. Also, Rev Dr Stephen Hatcher may be ab le to help (a Methodist minister), and you might try the Primitive Methodist museum and library at Englesea Brook.
Fantastic.... It would be helpful if you coud pronounce, slowly, those few letters that were dropped out yesteryear from the English writing; even better if could exemply using words containing those letters... Thank U ever so much.... GREAT VIDEO... Pls, more of thism
A very interesting reading, gives an illuminating rendition of old English pronunciation. E.g. the initial ge- of past participles sounding as ye-, which by the time of Chaucer had been reduced to just y- (gegone > ygone > gone). The c sounding as ch: ic = ich, etc. Thank you!
Yes some good principles that have some connection with the practices of the Early Church. But it is important to put the use of the term "Pastor" into a biblical context. In Eph 4 it is presented as one of five ministries: Apostles (possibly missionaries, ie "sent ones") prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. Paul says these are all necessary to produce maturity in the membersof the church. When matched up against this, the Baptist culture of one man band or Pastor and Elders, seems deficient. At a stretch, Pastors are usually styled as pastor-teachers, and there is a little (very little) textual evidence for that interpretation. But my experience has been of some good teachers who are rather poor pastors and some good pastors who are indifferent teachers, which suggests that they would do better to stay within their gifting, and seqarch carefully and prayerfully for those whom Jesus has give those other roles to. And then of course to do the same in search of evangelists, prophets and apostles. To do less is to deny those gifted by Jesus with those ministries, the opportuunity to serve, to the detriment of the church.
In the video I deliberately used the word 'pastor' with the meaning it usually carries in Baptist churches; I agree with what you write about its somewhat different original use in the Bible.
@@davidyoungwrexham I guessed that was so. I wrote what and how I did because I feel that we need to loosen our grip on our culture (the weights that so easily encumber us), and make every effort to model our churches on New Testament teaching. The lack of a prophetic, evangelistic, and apostolic ministries (The genuine kind, not often much in evidence ) when they are shown, along with the other ministries, to be necessary for the health of God's people. Do you agree?
loved watching this video, Im Blaenavon born and bred , unfortunately in 1980 ,we moved to Bargoed .I was only young then ,my dad, nan & gramps were still living up there . I miss Blaenavon terribly ,but now and again, I come up and stay for a couple of days and enjoy and remember the good times. unfortunately my Dad and Nan&Gramps have passed now. My late dad Mike Waite, his ashes are scattered down the mountain( a few hundred yards down from Foxhunter ) .me and my sister go there sometimes and sprinkle his favourite tipple Bells Whisky where his ashes were scattered and we have a laugh about the good times 😊
Good message, brother David. Our Lord loved to be around the Table with others, especially His disciples. Breaking bread with thanksgiving and passing the cup with shared covenantal assurance in Christ, the importance of Holy Communion in our worship of God cannot be overstated!
Thank you. I am preparing a talk to give to our Villages of Mugginton Parish Local History Group about John Ride. He and his family members lived in the villages in this area of Derbyshire. I have already given a talk about his Primitive Methodist colleague Sarah Bembridge nee Kirkland, who also lived in this area.
My 5th Gr Grandparents lived in Blaenavon, Robert was a Blacksmith. Their 3 kids were baptized at St. Peters in 1830. Robert and Sophia moved to Brooklyn, NY in 1837 I wonder if my 5th Great Grandfather worked with your grandfather. His name was Robert Osborn. Do you know of a way to find any records of the forge?
I did try and search for the Forge Blaenavon, but the results came up of pubs etc. sorry . in what year did they work at the forge? and was it directly in Blaenavon? I will try and find out some more info for you, I will tell you though, have you ever seen the" Blaenavon Through The Years In Photographs volume 1, 2 and 3. they are absolutely great, there are so many photos and history stories , education, mining , Iron works and steel and many more. as I got a lot older I didnt realise Blaenavon had so much history , so I then bought those 3 books (as I mentioned from ebay (second hand is cheaper , as they can be a bit expensive ) believe me try and get them or they are probably in the local library. youl be amazed at what you can find out. hope this helps you . Rosie waite
I was just going through my Blaenavon through the years in photographs volume 3 and Mr Bert Witchell was a boot and shoe retailer , but was also landlord to The Forge Hammer ( which is pictured in the video at 2.22) during the start of the 19th century . vol 3 has a lot of information& his history dating from the 1800,s to early 1900,s .
@@rosiew1952 Hi Rosie, it was my understanding that the Great Forge at Blaenavon was the first of its kind in the Industrial Revolution in Wales.That is where Robert worked. I love that the families of the men who worked at the forge lived in houses that were attached , so those families could be community.
How sad and incomprehensible that Christendom appropriated the faith of pagans and the doctrines of demons when taking this damnable doctrine into the church. Nowhere is it found in the old testament, and every mention of it in the new testament is colored by this preconceived doctrine. To turn our glorious and merciful God into a fiend who finds pleasure in the eternal torture of His creations is unconscionable! Rather, believe the word of God which clearly states that "the soul that sinneth, it shall die." Christ made it clear that both body and soul shall be destroyed in the lake of fire. This is the second death, the anhillation of the soul. Fearful and terrible indeed, but just and righteous and merciful. Remember, trust Christ and you will be saved from the second death. God help us.
Thank you David, I lived in Tainant but had never heard of it . I enjoyed your documentary very much. Thanks again.God bless Berenice. PS, I attended Chapel-y - Groves when I moved to Afoneitha.❤️🙏
What about those kosovar albanian christians who were killed by serbs during the war, who's going to remember them? And who will search justice for them?
A book entitled "The Hand of God" was published in English in 2007 by Tenda publishing house, Prishtina. It is an anthology of Christians' experiences from that time of tribulation and war.
@@christwarrior9124 I don't know. I retired in 2011, and have not had much opportunity to sell books about Albania at meetings since then. The book was probably sold more to English-speaking Christians who visited Kosova (and still do) after its publication.
Thank you David for such clarity. I have studied church history due to my interest in revival. You have filled me in on the Primitive Methodists andd I am deeply impressed with your material and your genuine love for those great men and women who encountered the power of God and impacted their own generation and influenced the course of Christian history beyond their own life-time. Thank you so much David!
