Have You Been Misled to Believe a Lie That Distorts the Gospel? With Allen Parr 

This is why shepherds are held more accountable. I'm sorry for this experience this man done in Jesus name to hurt your family.

Now that is sound Christian philosophy. God bless you! 🙏🏼

In order to understand what you are reading you must know what it is about! It’s not a history book! It’s not literal in the sense of people, and places, and times , these are all metaphor allegory, parable, dark sayings of old. It’s written about us. It didn’t happen, it happens eternally!

Exactly and Amen!

​@@terrypaul7706let God be true and every man a liar comes to mind....

@@BeingRefined in your misunderstanding of the book you take every verse and word what ever way you wish! It can be done but profits nothing! Who is God if I AM a liar? A pastor or a friend who has lied to you your whole life? You see it really is up to you. There is no other saviour than I AM. Non beside me.

Amen.

That is why there are so many denominations.

Yeshua said, remain in the Word, and the Word will remain in you. He is the WORD. The more you are in the Word, the more the Holy Spirit reveals to you. Catholics always go to John 6, and say see, you have to eat His flesh. Yet they stop at verse 58. They ignore what he says in verse 63. Where it's the Spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Eat the Word. Just as He tells John in revelation, eat the book.

Holy Spirit

@@aadschram5877 exactly those are man made choices and God tells us Proverbs 3;5-6-5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Well said. A half-truth is always a full lie.

I highly recommend Dr Tom Cucuzza at Northland Bible church on RU-vid. As someone who struggled with my own salvation I’ve found peace. God bless friend!

Jesus did not leave us a Bible, but an authoritative Church that gave us the Bible.

It's an enemy of the Gospel. Good discernment there. also, I don't see how Alisa can sit there and not have read the book of Matthew which states that one part of the Isaiah prophecy was that Jesus came to heal us physically. Allan is a supporter of Calvinism and he gets the Isaiah prophecy wrong. I don't think that it is right to just change what the Bible says about Jesus, just because a loved one dies. Why would she do this? Why would Allan do this? Here is what the Bible interprets part of the Isaiah prophecy to be: "Matthew 8:16-17 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses."

Jesus still heals today. He took the stripes before he died. He healed the sick before he died and rose again. The early church very much believed that professing Christians if they denied Christ as they were being led away to be murdered were not saved. Read Foxe’s book of martyrs. It is not an easy thing to lose, but denying Christ is a reason. However, Calvinism will teach that they weren’t really saved to begin with since Calvinism says that God determined many to heaven and hell since creation of man. John 3:16 and many others counter that. Jesus knows everything from beginning to end. So this is explanation for realizing that not all will be healed here on earth. His purpose in the end is what will happen. Progressive Christianity is so far out in left field in so many points as to be ludicrous. This is a good discussion on that subject.

@@dianatatekilgore9338 it comes down to renewing of the mind and not the will of God. God wants us to be whole, but not everybody becomes whole because of human activity in one way or another. Should we change the Bible to say that by His striped we possibly might get healed. No

@@dominiclapinta8537 yes because that’s how we are healed. Also in the same passage we see the chastisement of our peace was upon him. What He did for us is complete in every way.

@@dianatatekilgore9338 spiritually made alive and physically healed.

That has always sounded an alarm for me: being advised to accept ideas blindly, without understanding them.

Speaking of the late Dr. Heiser; I wish Alisa would listen to Dr. Michael Brown (*one of his contemporaries with similar qualifications) about the verse "by His stripes we are healed"; he has proven by his research of Scripture that yes, in fact, this verse does, also, include physical healing (*from the context of the verse etc.); his book "Israel's Divine Healer" is a systematic treatment of the theme of God as Healer in Scripture.

​@@Remy4489Amen. I think it can be physical when it's God's will, I have been healed personally!(Not in a church, but at home and not right away but in God's time, years after I had my accident.)✝️🙏

Well done and thank you. I struggled myself out of the blindness this man (and Alisa) suffer from. I've loved some of her interviews but this one is very sad because divisive. There are enough issues already the Church is being divided on without this attack on people of real faith who see the sick healed by faith in Isa 53 which by the way has many other verses on physical healing if you look at the plain meaning of the Hebrew and don't come with your preconceived opinions. "Rapha" plainly means complete healing from the Lord our Healer (YHWH Rapha) and in modern Israeli still means 'doctor'. Please, Alisa, study the Word, from Ex 15 onwards, especially Isa 52-3 FOR YOURSELF using a good interlinear and with an open mind to the possibility that Jesus the Suffering Servant and our sacrificial lamb was "so disfigured ... and his form marred beyond human likeness" by both sin and sickness (ALL the Deut 28 curses for disobedience) and this is precisely why the onlookers thought he'd been stricken by God as punishment for his own sin. Jewish people always equated sickness with punishment for sin. He looked so injured, sick, diseased and inhuman that men hid their faces from him ...

You literally understand nothing about real forgiveness from God; when God chooses to forgive its always on the basis of Christ's Bodily sacrifice and His actual shed Blood, EVERY single time, because God does not contradict Himself; He is perfectly Just and "cannot deny (or contradict) Himself". Since Christ was made Sin with our sinfulness on the Cross, and in this way Sin was condemned in the flesh (see Romans 8) and because of this fact; "it is finished," God is NOW able, on that basis, to offer mercy freely because justice has been completed by Christ's Atonement (see Romans 1:16-17). But, people aren't delivered from sin by pretending that sin doesn't exist; in fact, the denial of reality simply increases your sin and culpability, and it doesn't take away your sins. "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."- 1 John 1:8

@@Remy4489 If sin is reality, on which day did He create it?

Are those who preach a false gospel to be considered Christians? I suspect Jesus would say to depart from Him...

There are actually three conditions for being saved. You have to believe, repent and endure to the end. On belief through faith, John 3: 16-18 says: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever BELIEVES in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever BELIEVES in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. Also, it does require a change in behaviours according to Gods will. You are a new person in Christ Jesus. If your behaviours don't change then you were never saved to begin with. As John the Baptist said; "Produce fruit in keeping with repentance". Your behaviours are the fruit. They are the evidence of having been saved. Hebrews 6:1 "Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God" The key words are "dead works" or "dead behaviours". When you repent and become a new person in Christ your old behaviours should die and be replaced with new behaviours consistent with the Word of God. James 2:26 "For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead" The context for "faith without works is dead" is seen in James 2:14. "What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? 17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead". Works, action and behaviours are the evidence of faith and belief in action. No man comes to God by works, but all men who truly come to God will give evidence of the faith that they have, by the things that they do. In 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 Paul teaches that being “in Christ” results in a person becoming a “new creation”. God has provided salvation and reconciliation for us through the sacrifice of His Son. We now have a new identity as a son or daughter of God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come". 1 John 1:6 "If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth". "Walking in the darkness" after having been saved, demonstrates that you were never saved to begin with. If you were saved you would be walking in the light as a new person in Christ. 1 John 2:6, ESV "Whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked" Again, another scripture confirming that there should be congruence between your words ("whoever SAYS") and your actions/behaviours ("in which he WALKED"). 1 John 2:29, ESV. "If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him". This verse confirms once again that being saved/born again is manifested in new behaviours consistent with the Word of God. The key words are "PRACTICES righteousness", for HIS names sake. 1 John 3:6, ESV. "No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him". You cannot abide in Chist if there are no change in behaviours for the good. If there are no change in behaviours then "you have neither seen him or know him". There never was a relationship and therefore you were never saved to begin with. 1 John 3:10, ESV. "By this it is EVIDENT who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not PRACTICE RIGHTEOUSNESS is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother". 1 John 3:18, ESV. "Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth". So love is an action/deed and truth, not virtue signalling like the hypocritical Pharisees with words and talk". So, you can't be saved by works, but once you are saved, you are a new person in Christ and you will manifest new behaviours. If there is no behavioural change then you were never saved to begin with. John 6:37-39 (NIV) says; 37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. So, you cannot lose your salvation if you have been saved, but if there is no behavioural change that is observable evidence of having been saved, then you may have never been saved in the first place. And, behavioural change is not something you need to practice, fake or stage. The change is driven by your love for Jesus Christ and your desire to be obedient to His Word. 1 John 5:18, ESV. "We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning (because they change their behaviours), but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him". In Revelation the scriptures not only confirm that there MUST be a change in behaviours once you are saved, but also includes the CONSEQUENCES if you don't. It covers the condition of REPENTANCE in verse 21, in 22 and 23 are the consequences for not repenting and at the end of verse 23 are the consequences if there are no changes in behaviour, namely, "I will give to each of you according to your WORKS (behaviours)". Here it is is. Revelation 2:21-23 ESV: 21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality. 22 Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works, 23 and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your WORKS. It is made very clear that if you are saved you are a new person in Christ and being saved means you BELIEVE in Jesus Christ, his death and resurrection from the dead, REPENT and ENDURE to the end. Belief through faith, repentance (which starts the process of sanctification) and enduring to the end are the conditions for having been saved. (Matthew 24:13 Jesus said; "But, the one who endures to the end will be saved"). Also, Hebrews 12:1 ESV. (Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with ENDURANCE the race that is set before us"). And Hebrews 12:3 ESV: ("Consider him who ENDURED from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted"). Another confirmation in the scriptures that you must ENDURE to the end as a condition for being saved is Revelation 2:10 ESV: "Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death (endure to the end), and I will give you the crown of life (you will be saved)". That is why Jesus said in Matthew 7:21-23: "I never knew you, depart from me you who practice lawlessness". "Lawlessness" is a behaviour/fruit. And "practiced" means it is something you were doing. It's bad fruit. You were doing bad behaviours. So, when Jesus says "I never knew you", it's not because you are no longer saved. It's because you were never saved to begin with. There was no relationship to break off. By way of example, in the days of our Lord there were six thousand Pharisees and yet throughout the four gospels, only one Pharisee came to salvation. His name was Nicodemus (John 3:1-21). The Pharisees were the equivalent of our modern day pastors and Jesus said to them "I never knew you, depart from me you who practice lawlessness". The Pharisees, like many of today's pastors, were false prophets filled with greed, arrogance, pride and a false religion. 1 John 2:19 reiterates this; "They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us". There was never a relationship with Jesus to begin with. And, it continues in 1 John 3:1, ESV. "See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him". There was never a relationship with Jesus to begin with. So, believe through faith, repent and endure to the end.

Amen

Jesus paid for our all of a redeemed believers sins..they are all paid for...no more guilt...it was a legal transaction if you will. However we still have a sinful flesh to deal with but Christs work on the cross broke that power and with Holy Spirit help..given to us when saved.. we a fight and choose and honor and obey our Lord as an unbeliever can't. All their efforts are filthy rags and can't please God. And final when He takes us home and Glorifies us the total presents of sin in our life will be 💯 gone...God bless and praise Him!

@@davidyingling4873 Isn't fighting a work? And tithing? And praying? How can you please God without making some sort of effort?

After you are saved everything is a work for Him and proves you are saved and greatly pleases Him. The unsaved can never please God and their works are fruitless. Everything chances when one is saved,born again and becomes a new creature in Christ!!

Yes, and it's everywhere when you look eg in Matthew. How do you explain away Mt 8:17 where, by inspiration, Matthew guided by the Holy Spirit quotes from Isa 53 and the context is physical healing!

@@rodbfg8357 Wow. It is, indeed. Thank you for sharing!

Being a RU-vidr is irrelevant.

Well, I guess if ALL of our diseases were always healed then no one would ever die. I do definitely believe that God can and does heal, but....I'm just sayin' Love ya brother!

@@t2squared I think you may have overlooked that people must RECEIVE Jesus' victory at the cross and the POWER of his resurrection. Where there is a lack of healing, there is unconfessed sin and a reluctance to let Jesus be Lord. We must RECEIVE his healing for us, and if there are any hidden pockets of grudges towards other people, or anger towards God, that person pushes away both him and his healing. I did NOT learn that from a commentary, but from pressing in to the Lord, and much prayer and fasting and studying of the bible under tutilage of Holy Spirit. I have been healed of many, many things through application of this approach.

David Guzic in his commentary confirms your point. The healing in Isaiah 53 is includes physical healing. Even the translation of the Hebrew word רָפָא is ἰάθημεν it includes physical healing.❤

Remember Jesus said in Luke 18:8 "...when the Son of Man comes will he find faith on the earth?" These are trying times for everyone. Paul said there would be a great apostasy before the end comes. Don't you loose faith by the what others are saying and doing. God is there for you fully as you stand in his grace and love and let it flow out of you to others. Jesus is our "all" in His undying love and grace. John 1:4,5 says "In Him (Jesus) was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overpower it." Colossians 1:13 says "For he DELIVERED us from the DOMAIN of DARKNESS, and TRANSFERRED US to the kingdom of His BELOVED Son." You are now His BELOVED child in Christ. In God's love there is no darkness. 1John 1:5. Keep your relationship with God alive in His love. Psalm 36:9 1John 4:18,19. Hope this helps. Love and blessings ♥

Jesus dis not leave us a Bible, but an authoritative Church (Mat 16, 17-19), that gave us the Bible.

But it’s not a guarantee that you will be physically healed here on earth. If that was the case, many who have went before us in the faith and passed away because of sickness would have been healed physically. And many who teach that we are to be healed physically will say that those who don’t receive healing don’t have enough faith, and that’s heresy. It’s a heretical belief! God can definitely heal, but sometimes people don’t get healed! It’s not that He can’t do it, but we’re still living in a fallen world and a fallen body that continues to perish.

Commentaries are overrated in my opinion. I prefer to use Blue Letter Bible which allows me who is someone who is not a Hebrew or Greek scholar to probablyuse 80% or more of what Scholars give us . However I can go straight to the source. My advice is to go through the Bible in no more than a year. Do this at least three or four times. I also like Blue Letter Bible because if there is a word that gets my attention , I can easily see how many times and where that word is used within that book or the New or Old Testament or the whole Bible. Then the Bible interprets itself for me. Finally, in the OT, Moses told the people that God wanted to speak to them. That has not changed. God still wants to speak to rank-and-file Christians through his word with the aid of the Holy Spirit By the way, I'm 60 years old and I've seen a lot of things in a lot of churches.

@@aadschram5877 do you know anything about how the books of the Bible were selected?

@@aadschram5877 only the Gospels that were written by an eyewitness or someone who actually knew an eyewitness were selected for the New Testament.

@@liljade53 there is an interesting article about this subject on the web site of Called to Communion under the name of `The Canon Question`.

@@aadschram5877 sorry, I thought you were commenting on my comments on another video, one about Joseph Campbell, who wrote the book "The Power of Myth". I thought you were challenging the idea, as Joseph Campbell does, that Jesus is who He said he is in the scriptures, so therefore he also challenges the idea that the scriptures are the inspired Word of God, and the exclusivity of Jesus.

Totally agree with this: "All in all I find his theology tends to diminish what Jesus did on earth and on the cross." Parr and other youtubers are sounding just like this. The words, 'atheistic christian' come to mind.

Did God remove Paul's thorn in the flesh? I guess he didn't have enough faith?

@@eurekahope5310 Paul's thorn in the flesh were the extreme opposition from people who, like Paul use to be, were trying to get him killed. There were rare occasions where God did strike people dead, like Herod and Annanaias and Sapphira. This just hit me. Do you believe that Paul's thorn in the flesh was sickness or a disease? Paul's thorn in the flesh being sickness or disease to keep him from being conceited, is a primarily mainstream protestant tradition, but it is not the original intent. the term, "thorn in the flesh", is specifically a reference to the old testament instance of people becoming things in your side and pricks in your eyes . This was in response of how people, if not taken care of, would become a hindrance and opposition
