365 Bible is hosted by Pastor Bryan Dwyer, author and leader with masters degrees in Bible and Mathematics. The goal is to share plain truth from a biblical perspective - to help people of all backgrounds to pursue the God of the Bible.
Only the Apostle and the ones appointed by Apostle has the authority to baptise a person. This is Biblical according to Matt 28:19. Not just everyone can perform baptism, here.
I want to go your way now Jesus!💙🙏 getting baptized tomorrow 6.30.24 & I’ve been crying all day it’s such an emotional decisión. I am so grateful! Jesus you are my lord and savior 🙏
This seems to be using about the same logic my wife uses when she goes out and gets a good deal on something we didn't need and tries to explain that we saved money by buying it because it was on sale even though we didn't need it. What a stretch. This logic would make the Bible one of the most confusing books ever written making it incorrect or implying that God is a god of confusion.
Thank you for standing for truth. It is so difficult to go against what culture (not God) has allowed. Our nation is messed up because of it. I am honored to be a woman and love the differences in genders. God knew what He was doing in creation, and He is the same God today.
These are not the only two views. Catholics, Lutherans, Semi-Pelagians, and Eastern Orthodox all teach different things. I myself would hold to Arminianism but not solely because I don’t believe Calvinism is true.
Ephesians 2:8-9 King James Version 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Authority is an essential requirement for any disciple to be able to baptise. It’s certainly not the case that just anyone can do it. Mark 13:34, John 15:16, Acts 14:23, Ephesians 4:11.
I am neither Calvinist nor Arminian. I do believe in my eternal security. Based on the Apostle Paul's letter to the younger Timothy before his(Paul's end). Hallelujah.
I don't care what this man says or anyone else says, God literally led me to a apostolic summit where they were speaking in tongues publicly and we did so in a unified manner. Jesus didn't contradict himself, he is all about power not misinterpreting his own word! There are people out here who are legalistic and lack power and they want to make us feel bad about what is good and I won't stand for it!
Ezer Kenegdo is a Hebrew word that describes the role of a woman as a helper and partner to a man. The word Ezer means to rescue, to save, or to be strong, and the word Kenegdo means opposite as to him or corresponding as to him. The word Ezer Kenegdo implies that man and woman are equally and uniquely created, a perfect fit1. The word is used in the Old Testament 21 times.

@@susanbarackman-artist7670 yes, agree with you and it is not a lesser thing that woman was created for man and out of man because he was not good alone. In other words, man was deficient without woman. That does not make him lesser than woman either. It was the curse that subjugated a wife to her husband, not all women to all men. Before the fall in Gen 3, they served as equals so let's stop living in the curse. Jehovah is also called the Helper and that word has nothing to do with a hierarchical rank although He is supreme over all and yet He comes alongside us to help us. He was the Helper of Israel. The subjugation of women is from the traditions of men and the Greco-Roman ancient world that was heavily influenced by Aristotle who thought women were deformed males and inferior beings. This is why Paul included the Greco-Roman household codes in some of his letters. He addressed husbands and wives, parents and children, masters and slaves. He does not try to change the culture of the community but the culture of the home in spite of the community. Imagine Paul trying to teach that slavery or the subjugation of women was wrong in a society that had already killed Jesus and was fearful of Christianity. And yet we have now realized that slavery is wrong but many in the church are still holding women in bondage to the Greco-Roman household codes.
after having been part of a church for years and now for decades not attending church i have been thinking about all those men in leadership that I looked up to and tried so hard to do what they preached because if they preached it that was what God said.... and when I disagreed with what they preached were God's commands I carried lots of guilt to have dared use my own mind to critically think about what was preached or taught.................................................. and where are they now? they moved on to other places, or they died. those who were part of the congregation that i was so close to in spirit now i cannot remember their names nor do they remember me and any closeness we had is long gone. ---and that is why I tell people with questions about the issues within the church that people come and go and only Christ will be there with us all the way to the end and beyond and to seek His leading in our lives, not strangers on fb or the latest pastor with the charming smile and smooth words.
So why would a woman even want to marry? I mean really, what's in it for her? Domesticated servitude? She loses her autonomy and her ability to think and make decisions, having to ask permission to go to the grocery store? YUCK! And why go to church? To serve in the Cookie Ministry? Let the men have it, ya'll just preach to each other! Why not just start a bible study in her own home like Lydia in the bible? Paul thought enough of her to actually stay in her home a couple of times. But let's downplay her ministry, k?
So according to Titus 2:4-5 women can teach other women how to be domesticated servants but they can't teach them the word of God? Give me a break, this is 2024 and that worked in a patriarchal society, we don't live like that anymore.
WRONG Sir , Baptizm cannot be ommited in order to be saved ! or else why did Peter command those who BELIEVED , to Repent AND be Baptized for the remission of their sins ? Salvation by "Faith only" is HERESY ! What do you say about all these verses that clearly teach Baptizm as a requirement to ones salvation. ACTS 2:38, Acts 22:16 arise and be Baptized and WASH away your sins , Mk. 16 "he that believes AND is Baptized shall be saved" 1PET 3"21 that Baptizm now Saves us ! Acts 2:47 and God added to the Church daily those who were being saved through faith in Christ, Repentance , AND Baptizm !
I would be very careful saying Baptism isn't necessary for salvation. Jesus commanded Baptism to be done. Everyone in the New Testament were Baptized. Yes, Baptism alone wont save us if we haven't truly repented of our sins. You might as well be taking a bath. But if i were someone who is seeking salvation. Id follow the Apostles doctrine diligently.
At the risk of knit-picking: 1. This video suggests baptism is basically a me and Jesus thing only. Does the church not possess the kings of the kingdom? 2. This video also implies one can trust Jesus (step 1) but not necessarily be ready to "go God's way" (step 2). This is a false dichotomy. 3. This video is absent with respect to the promissory nature of baptism. In other words, it's all about me and my obedience. But what of God's covenant and promises displayed in baptism? 4. This video never mentions the local church. How can one be baptized into the church without the church? SDG
If God exists the way the Bible describes then abortion would be the most morally righteous thing you can do to guarantee a child gets to heaven..... If God does not exist I would say it is the most morally reprehensible thing you can do to abort a child because that is taking away the only experience of existence they will ever have. I don't understand why christians fight so hard To be pro-life when all it does is bring misery to the life of the one you are trying to bring into the world by subjecting it to sin that they cannot avoid..... God even says himself that the path to heaven is narrow so why would you not just guarantee a child into heaven by aboarting the kid ?
You know thinking about this logically..... And I really hope somebody can refute me on this because I've been struggling with this question for a while....... Would it not be the most beneficial thing to abort a child instead of letting it live? Here's why I think this. 50 million abortions just means 50 million souls in heaven right.... Why would it be better to let a life be lived on earth full of pain and suffering with potential to go to hell based off your decisions? I can say for me at least.... Personally I wish I was aboarted while I was still in the womb.... That way I would be innocent because I had not sinned yet consciously...... I would be in heaven from the beginning of my consciousness starting and would know that God is good unquestionably...... I would not be corrupted by sin..... The benefits I can think from abortion are endless When it comes to being spiritually pure . I mean what are really the consequences of not aborting a child? 1. You force a soul to now be responsible for their own eternal life based off the decision of whether or not they follow God during their life. 2. Having a kid potentially Gives you partial responsibility for them going to hell if you don't teach them the scriptures right and they don't accept it. 3. Having a child means when you die they have to deal with the pain of your death. 4. Having a child forces that child to experience some sort of pain in the life they have on earth as opposed to aborting a child and having them experience no pain at all since they are going to heaven from the beginning of their life...... The only thing that really tells us that abortion is bad is the Bible saying that it is bad...... But logically really what is so bad about it? I would really love for somebody to explain to me why they believe that pro-life is such a good argument compared to aboarding a child When the benefits of aborting a child not for you but for the child itself are immeasurable compared to letting them live..... especially if they have eternity to face as a consequence. I mean the only reason you really have a child in the first place is for your own benefit..... You have a child for the joy that it brings in your life. Or you have a child because the Bible tells you to reproduce and be fruitful..... I mean some children are born and are raped and sold into slavery...... And God thinks that that person is going to be more receptive to him than the one who was raised in a Christian home and experienced gods love from the beginning? Personally I wish God would tell me he loved me at least one time..... I don't think it's fair for God to say that the prerequisite for hearing his voice and experiencing his love is to have faith in him in the first place....... I would think an all loving God would give us reason to have faith in him and to love him in the first place before making us liable to eternal judgment for not believing him. I mean if I told somebody that I loved and believed in the flying spaghetti monster and that he speaks to me on a daily basis and directs my life in a positive way and all you have to do is to believe that he exists and does that in the first place in order for him to reach out to you.... Everyone would think I was fucking insane. It would require evidence of the flying spaghetti monster existing before you could place your faith in it right...... So why is it that God completely disregards the scientific method for discovering things when it comes to him and forces you to have faith in him from the start before he does anything..... It just doesn't make sense and I'm so tired of being a lukewarm Christian. I mean I know abortion is wrong just because my heart tells me that it is wrong but I don't have a logical reason for why I think that way or why it weighs heavily on my heart..... I just hate more than anything in the world that God just says not to do things and then doesn't explain why and says it's because his ways are so much higher than ours that we can't understand it...... Then how are we supposed to believe? I just wish God would reach down and put his hand on my shoulder one time and tell me that he loved me in an audible manner...... I don't want to have to serve him and go through adversity my entire life just to hear him reassure me one time...... I mean technically any pain that we face on earth would be incomparable to eternal punishment and hell but why would I even be thrown in hell for not believing in a God that never wanted to put in the effort to have me believe in the first place? I just wish I never existed.... I wish that when I die I am eliminated from existence and that Earth is the only experience I will ever have. I don't want to go to hell and burn for eternity but I don't want to go to heaven for eternity if I'm just going to feel the same way I do right now about God..... I think the fact that the 4 living creatures around God eternally worshipping him and having the freedom to do nothing else is quite cruel. I don't get why satan would think that he can overpower God or why he would even want to be above God in the first place if God is so perfect to begin with.... Wouldn't a perfect God be unquestionable with everything you try to bring against him logically because his intellect is just that much better than yours? None of it makes sense and I'm so tired of it. Lord please give me clarity and understanding and allow me to have the love for you that I desire. Please allow me to experience your Holy Spirit at least one time so I can have a basis of why I should have faith in you....
My compliments on choosing to include v. 21 of Eph. 5. However, whatever paraphrase you're using is deceptive in the way it adds to v. 22. In so doing, it twists the sense of the verb being carried over from v. 21, and obscures the mutual nature of the submission.
Further, you failed to consider the whole passage, which goes through 6:9. There, the "master," who as paterfamilias is the same person as the "husband," is told to treat slaves "the same way" slaves were just told to treat him. That means they were to treat slaves as equals, and if submission by wives is to be unilateral, this logically places slaves above wives in the hierarchy.
You fail to consider the whole context in 1 Pet., which goes from 2:12 to at least 3:8. I can see no reason for you to snip the passage as you did, especially in excluding 3:1-2, except by malicious intent to obscure the fact that the women and slaves were told to submit in order to not be provocative to unbelievers, and potentially to win them over. Submission of wives, and existence of slavery, are not universally God-ordained.
Yes, absolutely believers should read commentaries on 1 Tim.. Start with Gordon Fee's and end with Ben Witherington III's. In this case, I do like the translation you chose, because better than most it captures the implication of disjunctions in English, and clarifies that the "plain sense" of 2:12 puts it in direct conflict with Priscilla, Aquila, and Apollos in Acts 18.
The 1 Tim. 2:13 allusion to Genesis may possibly give a "universalizing" sense, but not without problems. It does not in itself make clear why 2:11-12 should be universalized, but not 2:8-10. At least as important, in invoking Creation, it calls back to the pre-Fall condition where there was NO hierarchy between man and woman. They were explicitly equal in Gen. 1, and in Gen. 2 the woman was created as partner, companion, strong ally, rescuer, of corresponding form, because of the man's inadequacy on his own.
55 seconds in you are already going off track. Biblical egalitarians (CBE, the AoG church, etc.) believe that men and women are complementary. We don't believe that the "gifts" and "roles" are complementary in a way that requires any kind of hierarchy of authority between sexes.
At the end, you make the same error as Mike Winger in suggesting Gal. 3:28 is the be-all, end-all mic-drop verse. First, that is not the case. It is certainly important, but we equality as the ideal Pre-Fall and throughout the NT. Second, you artificially limit the verse to "spiritual" things. Much of Galatians is about how behavior and relationships change *because* of the spiritual realities.
God is good. I was needing to know this answer. I had my own general thoughts but couldn’t explain why and wanted to make sure I was being biblical even if it made life tricky. This helped me immensely in potential upcoming things I need to do. Thanks!
I have extra virgin olive oil and glass container specifically for anointing oil. I need to know exactly how to proceed. Thanks you for your help in this very important matter.
John 1:18 said that no one has seen God at any time.; the only begotten son, which is in the bosom of the father, he hath declared him. Joseph Smith made the claim that God and Jesus revealed themselves to him in the Mountains of New York. The problem is he was the supposed only eyewitness to this spiritual revelation. The Bible says out of the mouths of two or three witnesses let the word be established. In Hebrews when God could swear by no greater he swore of himself, and that in fact established his truth by three personages, God The Father, God the son, and the holy Spirit. One eye witness can not establish truth, and declare that the Bible is corrupted and add to or take away the truth. This in itself is an accursed heresy according to the Bible in both the new and old testament.
Yeah, throw out 1500 years of faith, teaching and tradition. Invent a new religion, tradition of men, and ignore all of church history, especially the early church fathers, the generation of men that received their teachings directly from the apostles. Hence, since the reformation there are 20,000 plus new denominations, all thanks to Luther and subsequent inventors of protestantism. Protestant=protest against God.
A few things to know about Baptism: 1. Baptism is the first ordiance of the gospel. 2. To be baptized, one makes a covenant to follow Jesus Christ. 3. A covenant is a two-way promise: We covenant to follow God and keep is commandments. He promises that His spirit (The Holy Ghost) may be with us. 4. Baptism enables you to return and live with God after this life. 5. Although perfect, Jesus was baptized to be an example and demonstrate that he would keep God (our Heavenly Father's) commandments. 6. Baptism must be performed by immursion. 7. Baptism should be performed when one is old enough to be accountable to make a covenant with God. Babies and little children are not old enough. 8. Baptism by immursion is symbolic of the death and resurrection of the Savior. Being buried in the water is symbolic of death. Coming out of the water is symbolic of being resurrected or "living again." 9. Baptism is the first step on the road to discipleship. It is only the start. There are more ordinances one must receive--along with their associted covenants. 10. Baptism must be performed by someone who has God's authority to be valid after this life though. A pastor doesn't get that authority by merely by studying the Bible. The true, RESTORED church of Jesus Christ is on the earth today. It is HIS church. It has HIS authority to do baptisms. It has HIS authority to do baptisms because HE restored it. HIS church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I hope you'll have the desire to continue on your path to follow the Savior by becoming a member of HIS restored church.
For such an important matter why didn’t the all knowing God just put “Abortion is not allowed” in the Bible about 100 times? Instead he makes you twist into a pretzel trying to interpret obscure passages to bolster your position. I know, I know, mysterious ways and all that.
“Thou shall not murder” “Love your neighbor” “Thou shall not commit adultery” 3 versus (2 commandments) about why we shouldn’t have abortions. The Bible doesn’t directly address many other issues but he does make references to them. He sometimes talks in parables and metaphors and that’s on purpose
Aww Thank You Heavenly Father, for this message as it has answered my question. My baptism changed my life 1999. Today, my young adult children 16 , 21 want to be baptized. We love Jesus ❤.
