Why did Satan keep any powers... And has mercy, evolved... since 2 Samuel 24. Or... the Inquisition, and Western slave trade... where passivity, seemed... Notable?
Praise you Lord - Your love, grace and tender mercies are stunningly amazing and beautiful!! ❤Thank you Paster John for your wonderful teaching! Such a blessing ❤
I have never - in all my life - heard God characterized as His innermost being having organic, not mechanical bowels of mercy. For a recovering sinner, this makes God feel so much more approachable. I think this is backed up by Paul’s teaching that “We do not have a great high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses…”
Amen Jesus came to save ( John 3:17😊❤) and Jesus😊1st❤ is greater. Matthew 2:13-18(The flight to Egypt) "13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, " Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him." 14 And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt 15 and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, " Out of Egypt I called my Son(Jesus 😊 1st ❤)."( Matthew 2:13-15 ESV) 2:16-18(Herod kill the Children) "16 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, became furious and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethelem and in all that region who were two years or under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men. 17 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah: 18 " A voice heard in Ramah, weeping and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; She refused to be comforted, because they are no more."( Matthew 2:16-18 ESV)
Matthew 2:13-18(The flight to Egypt) "13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, " Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him." 14 And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt 15 and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, " Out of Egypt I called my Son(Jesus 😊 1st ❤)."( Matthew 2:13-15 ESV) Matthew 2:16-18(Herod kill the Children) "16 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, became furious and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethelem and in all that region who were two years or under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men. 17 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah: 18 " A voice heard in Ramah, weeping and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; She refused to be comforted, because they are no more."( Matthew 2:16-18 ESV)
Another angle in similar wording in Matthew 2:13-18( The Escape to Egypt) 1 "13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, "Get up," he said, " take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him." 14 so he got up, and took the child and his mother( Mary) during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfulled what the Lord had said through the prophet: " Out of Egypt I called my son(Jesus 😊 1st ❤)." 16 When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learndd from the Magi, 17 Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfulled: 18 " A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mournin, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more." " ( Matthew 2:13-18( The Escape to Egypt) Zondervan NIV Study Bible) John 14:6(Jesus 😊 1st ❤).

RASPUTIN'S DAY, members of the church of Ahriman are asked to pay special homage to our Patron Saint, the Prophet Grigori Rasputin on the 30th of December. Grigori was a leading figure in the church and had amazing powers, he was destined to live for another 100 years but his Political and Religious enemies plotted and carried out his assassination in 1916. Having dosed him with enough cyanide to kill an elephant without effect, they resorted to shooting him in the back and the head multiple times, they then threw him into the frozen Neva river but he was still alive until just before his body was found and he finally succumbed to death. However his prophesies lived on to be fulfilled. This Prophet of Ahriman was put to death by Christians so that members of the church of Ahriman, throughout the ages could live a life of debauchery, depravity and hedonism using his life as an example, Please pause for a minutes silence in respect of Rasputins day. Remember this great man who was in every way more important to the world than Jesus Christ.
I have sins that I have recognised and have not repented from. I know they are sins and they feel good. My first one is erotic imaginations of an imaginary wife (Matthew 5:28-29). The second one is my disbelief that the marriage to Jesus is better than marital sexual intercourse (Matthew 22:30, Mark 12:25, Luke 20:34-36) and that the fullness of joy at His presence and the eternal pleasures of His right hand are better (Psalm 16:11). The third one is my disbelief that the name and place God will give us in heaven is better than sons and daughters (Isaiah 56:4-5). I tell myself that the marriage to Jesus and the name and place He will give us are better, but deep inside, I do not feel it. My heart has been hardened with hostility against God ever since I was 10. I blamed God for everything bad that happened. And at 13, I began to entertain myself with erotically immoral imaginations and looking at erotically immoral things, which would have been hardening my heart with sin. This continued into high school, and in high school, I knew what I was doing was sinful, but did not have the will to repent because my sin felt good. I can only pray and ask others to help me pray that God does not harden me and leave me hardened like He did to Pharoah, but that He shows mercy to me like how He showed mercy to Apostle Paul while he was on His way to kill more Christians. Because aside from God changing me, I will not have the will to change myself. Those who are Arminians will say that God has already done everything, and while I am depraved, I still have the ability to use my free will to choose obedience. Those who are Calvinists will say that I am totally depraved, and aside from God regenerating me, I will never have the will to repent and obey, and I will still be responsible for my actions. If the Arminians are right, and I am left to my own will, I am doomed.
🙏 We must go and preach [repentance] And [remission of sins] Among All nations and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Luke 24:47 KJV - Believe [for your faith will save you] I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for [if ye believe not] that I am he, ye shall [die in your sins.] John 8:24 KJV - To give knowledge of salvation [by the remission of "our" sins] To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the [remission of their sins,] Luke 1:77 KJV - Receive [remission of sins] when we are converted To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name [whosoever believeth] [in him] shall [receive] [remission of sins.] Acts 10:43 KJV - Confession of sin [confess your sins, everyday] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to [forgive us our sins,] and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 KJV - [Remission of sins] from water baptism Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be [baptized] every one of you in the [name of Jesus Christ] for the [remission of sins,] and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38 KJV - Have charity [to have compassion] And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall [cover the multitude of sins.] 1 Peter 4:8 KJV - Love [to love thy neighbor as thyself] Hatred stirreth up strifes: but [love covereth all sins.] Proverbs 10:12 KJV - Convert sinner from his error of sin [convince someone of their error, like we were convinced] Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall [hide a multitude of sins.] James 5:20 KJV - Endure [predestined are those that endure until the end and do not die in sin] And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall [endure unto the end,] the same [shall be saved.] Mark 13:13 KJV - Sincere turn from practice of sin [or All will likewise perish] I tell you, Nay: but, [except ye repent,] ye shall [all likewise perish.] Luke 13:3 KJV
I thought he came to give us rules to keep. Lol your messages are contracting. Christ did come to save sinners, but that's the saving message year round. Not just on Christmas.
Salvation is a free gift offered to everybody. No works involved whatsoever. He who believes Hath eternal life. When you believe Christ died for your sins and trust that and that alone, you are sealed by the Holy Ghost unto the day of redemption. We are sinners, a sinner cannot justify himself, so to point to our works whatsoever is the wrong message. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 is the Gospel and when you believe that record you are saved, skewed unto the day of redemption. You Calvinists strap restrictions to the Gospel and stand in front of the saving message.... You will give an account for promoting heresy and getting many people to look to themselves, there performance. Salvation is a free gift. Salvation is not in us, salvation is in Christ and him alone. I've heard you for years putting the emphasis on us, and not the cross. Then at Christmas you you wanna talk about Christs performance. So tried of self rightoues religious men, pointing to a sinners performance, and getting poor, thirsty sinners to trust in there obedience, or new life change. We need born again!!! Not to focus on quite sinning. I hate lordship, Calvinist salvation. Man made concepts!!? The entire ideology is centered around man made concepts. You have gone the way of cain bringing your fruit from the ground, your works. Instead of trusting in Him who redeems the ungodly.
@@HearGodsWord I recommend the book “The pagan origins of Christian holidays” by Elisha J. israel. It is a great read and gives every source to claims.
It seems that our marriage to Jesus is like a man and woman marrying, but never having anything erotic together, but having love and spiritual beauty that they could have enjoyed with each other without having married each other. It seems that the marriage to Jesus is like people loving their pastor in a non-romantic way for their kindness. My church leader told me that there is no need for earthly marriage in heaven because we will have fellowship with everyone in heaven and because God will dwell in us intimately. Is erotic intimacy in marriage even an illustration of the marriage to Jesus? Because it seems like it's only the non-erotic parts of marriage that will be part of heaven.
@@HearGodsWord Song of Solomon does involve some lightly explicit things since it is using earthly marriage to illustrate the marriage to God, and because earth marriage is a permit for erotic activity, there is going to be erotic things involved, but it does not mean that the erotic parts have anything to do with God. Because in Ezekiel 16, when God uses earthly marriage as an illustration of Israel's marriage to Him, He portrays nakedness in an unrighteous manner. On earth, newly wedded husbands and wives take off their clothes in their bedrooms to consummate their marriage. But in Ezekiel 16, God says that He had to cover His wife's nakedness with His clothing, which means that God did not intend for erotic things to illustrate the marriage to Him.
@naits7457 nakedness wasn't unrighteousness pre-fall, therefore, its not unrighteousness if you're naked in heaven. A husband and wife being naked together isn't unrighteousness either.
"Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. The world is passing away, and also its lusts, but the one who does the will of God lives forever." 1 John 2
@@aliciab92989 @aliciabazemore9824 Is this verse saying that the desire to have sexual intercourse with your spouse is lustful and worldy even though you are doing it within marriage?
But what Piper leave out is that he believes Jesus came to save ONLY a few Elect. Like a fireman who only save some from a raging house fire when he could and says he desires to save all. Its not tulip, it's Daisey... He loves you, He loves you not. Flat out unbiblical.
@@LibertyFixxxer what i said is no more divisive that Piper's teaching along calvinist false doctrine that God only saves "the elect". yours and his understanding of Romans 9-11 is flawed. Christ came to provide salvation and eternal life for "Whosoever believeth". to say that God "causes" only some to believe is a complete misrepresentation of the Gospel and the Character and Nature of God Himself. Have a Merry Christmas yourself.
@@recoveringknowitall1534 God does only saved the elect. Predestination is biblical. The bible also teaches salvation without fruit isn''t salvation. Saying the words you believe without change in your life does not mean you are saved.
John, people are clamoring to know where you come down on the Colorado Supreme Court/Trump issue. See, Pipes, we just don’t know what to think unless you carefully shepherd us through all the issues. We look to your Bible-soaked, Scripture-saturated wisdom for answers. We look upon your soft, yet firm fatherly voice wherein we find comfort, and solace. As the election nears, perhaps you should consider adding another daily post, something like “Piper’s Prayed-up Political Wisdom” or something. (You have made a mockery of the precious terms “Bible-soaked” and “Scripture-saturated.” For all your purported wisdom, you have turned out to be a looser, as evidenced by Biden’s incompetence and sinfulness on every issue he touches. Abortion? There is not one, even at 9+ months, he doesn’t support. Transgender “gender affirmation” surgery? He funds every one he can. Wars? We now fund two, and are goading Putin to go nuclear. Crime? He initially supported both defunding-the-police movements and every soft-on-crime DA he could find. The border? 8 million people, unvetted, have come across, making the United States utterly unique among nations. Poor-beggaring inflation? Tripled since assuming office. Shall I go on? He told us exactly what he’d do if elected. He has done it. We took your advice in 2020. God help us if we make that mistake again.)
