I second the above encouragement. He is a gift to the church, and I strongly recommend you look through his playlists and study them all. I found Bruce 6 years ago, and have listened to every single episode at this point. God bless you in your studies! 🙏
Those traditional hymns were the soul of Christian education. In my church ( Canada,Presbyterian) they have been replaced with others, less musical, less inspiring and unfamiliar. It's like they tried to ruin it. I don't go anymore.
I'm a big fan of Bruce Gore but he doesn't really understand this passage. Few do. The propitiation was not to justify men, but to justify God for forgiving people freely on the basis of faith. God forgives sin for free but for he had to demonstrate that forgiving people of was not unrighteous on his part because he too had "skin in the game": [Rom 3:26 NASB95] [26] for the demonstration, [I say,] of His (God's) righteousness at the present time (long after Abel), so that He (God) would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Jesus didn't suffer much. He led a relatively cushy life (he was rich from the Magicians' gifts, healthy, and ) and a relatively painless death. His suffering lasted three hours and not the several days of increasingly unbearable pain that most others experience. The reason he shouted "it is finished" is because, miraculously, in answer to his three prayers in Gethsemane. Fortunately, suffering isn't redemptive. However, according to Matthew, it was required to fulfil scripture: [Mat 26:53-54 NASB95] [53] "Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels? [54] "How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, [which say] that it must happen this way?" However, according to Hebrews, his prayer to pass the cup to someone else was answered: [Heb 5:7 NASB95] [7] In the days of His flesh, He offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His piety. [Psa 22:19-24 NASB95] [19] But You, O LORD, be not far off; O You my help, hasten to my assistance. [20] Deliver my soul from the sword, My only [life] from the power of the dog. [21] Save me from the lion's mouth; From the horns of the wild oxen You answer me. [22] I will tell of Your name to my brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You. [23] You who fear the LORD, praise Him; All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, And stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Israel. [24] For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from him; But when he cried to Him for help, He heard. So to whom did the cup get passed? To Paul: [Col 1:24 NASB95] [24] Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions. [Act 9:15-16 NASB95] [15] But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is a chosen instrument of Mine, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel; [16] for I will show him how much he must suffer for My name's sake." "Substitutionary Atonement" is blasphemous and stupid because it is built on the supposition that two wrongs make a right. They don't. This is the logic of substitutionary atonement: God: "You raped my daughter. How about if you kill my son and we'll call it even"? Sin is not a misdemeanor. It can't be "paid for": [Isa 55:1 NASB95] [1] "Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters; And you who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk Without money and without cost.
You preach another gospel your doctrine is a heresy you have been turned over to believe the lie you the like minds that believe your teachings are being gathered by the angels of Messiah in bundles to be burned in the fire (future tense) may The father have mercy on your soul? Shalom venson
The heart of the Gospel is Leviticus 19. Yeshiyahu 8:20 To the torah and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Your gospel appears to be hasatan's gospel: freedom from YHVH's Torah.
Is it possible for the captains to be activated for us oldies? Thank you sir ! I am subscribed and been a listener for some time now. Appreciate your exegesis of the word and the historical background also. You’re instructive not entertaining us with stories, which I appreciate. Addendum: And you don’t yell . I walk away with substantive info.
If you hover over the video itself, you’ll see a “CC” (closed captioning) option. Tap it once and captions will be activated. Hope this helps. God bless.
