Good message - I am an old man ( 61 ). God revealed his love for me and I received his free gift of eternal life by grace through faith ( got saved ) on Nov. 17, 1977. The older I get and the more I grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ the more I realize that I am just a stupid man when it comes to knowing it all, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. AMAZING GRACE !!!
@@skippy675 Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Saved from the penalty of sin; outer darkness, total isolation for all eternity. Separated from our creator who is the truth, the light, unconditional love, unfailing love, everlasting love, perfect love. We are not sinners because we sin, we sin because we are sinners. Born that way but we do not have to die that way ( in our sin ). Jesus Christ died to set us free from the penalty of sin. Believers will be saved, unbelievers will die in their sinful condition and suffer for all eternity.
@@skippy675 Man is not basically good. You do not have to teach a child how to lie and say; "no I did not steal a cookie from the cookie jar". Instead we have to teach the child how to tell the truth. Lying is a sin and it comes naturally. Have you ever lied ? If you say you have never lied your a liar. Everyone has lied. Everyone has sinned. That's why Jesus Christ went to the cross and died so that we might live ( be forgiven ). John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
The message that man is vile, evil, sinful was drilled into my head but not with words, instead with actions along with words. Because this message was constantly being pumped into my brain as I was growing up when I got older began to question if there was a place in existence that was not vile, evil, sinful. You see where I'm going with this ? Look around you and tell me that this world we live in is not vile, evil, and sinful. The world is the way it is because of the heart of man. Vile, evil, and sinful. There is only one man ( God/man ) who has been born into this world who does not have a vile, evil, sinful nature. Christ Jesus, who died to set us free because there is a place where there is no evil, no sin. Jesus Christ is the only way to get there. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
@@skippy675 Just a dumb sheep with Jesus as my Shepherd. The Good Shepherd. Satan is the god of this world, that's why there are so many false religions, false teachers, wolves in sheep clothing. Knowing and loving Jesus Christ is not a religion it's way of life ( Eternal Life ). 2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world ( satan ) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. I pray that the light of Christ shines in your heart today and opens your mind to the truth. Those who refuse to believe have their minds blinded by the father of lies ( satan ). God our creator says so. 2 Corinthians 4:4 John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. -Jesus
@@skippy675 The difference is Jesus Christ is not dead. Jesus Lives !! That's the difference between religion and relationship. Relationship with our creator ( God/Jesus/Holy Spirit ) only comes by being born of the Spirit. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Ask God/Jesus to reveal himself ( truth ) to you and mean it. God's Grace is Amazing. Anyone who comes to him and is willing to repent ( change one's way of thinking ) can be saved. Eternity is a long time. Some people desire to be in a place of peace and joy. Jesus already paid for your ticket all you have to do is believe and yes Lord, I believe. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
There are times when I'm searching through my past sermon notes and come across something with which I don't agree. Talk about humbling, but that's part of growing and evolving in our faith. I just pray that God sends someone behind me to clean up any messes I've made. Good video.
Thank you for this, Brother. It is an honest, no nonsense attitude toward preachers and teachers, especially well respected and recognized men of God. It is our duty to remember that they are fallible men, susceptible to error. As I read and study the bible, delighting in His Word, the Spirit gives me discernment so that alarm bells go off when these men say something that doesn’t mesh with scripture. We should not be afraid to say, “That’s not right” and then to go back to the Word to check it out. Thank you again for this encouraging message.
I'm Not sure I disagree with Tony Evans if one is to consider Abram before God changed His name to Abraham. He was a pagan in a pagan land who never heard of God but God showed up Himself in a vision to Him and revealed Himself. Only problem is if the vision or dream does not align with the Gospel, God's Plan of Salvation and is not sound Bible doctrine because that is how Cults got started with counterfeit dreams and visions. But Jesus is NOT limited in extreme cases on how He can reach out and save someone in a foreign land who never heard of the Gospel or Jesus the Christ.
Whether it's right or wrong we still need to check these things are so, or we be foolish believers accepting everything, the example of the boreans is thus mentioned possible with this in mind
Those showing biblically they deserve it may be respected an trusted as true men of God. Others pretending to be men of God but only seek to deceive many or gain finance from those who have non, do not deserve any respect and need to be dealt with by a congregation elder overseers qualified in scriptural things to encourage them to put any wicked ways aside or be disfellowshipped and thrown out into the cold damp dark outside if not genuinely being repentant.
Thanks for the video. We all need to keep perspective and everyone gets it wrong sometimes. We are not a perfect church but we serve a perfect Savior. God bless you brother.
The only one who never made a mistake was Jesus our Lord. I admire you for explaining everything in a humble but straight forward way. God bless your ministry.!!!!!
@@randystevens1690 Indeed but AGAIN that does not make the above statement less true. In fact I can say that when the bible says that there is NONE RIGHTEOUS NO NOT ONE and all our righteousness are as filthy rags that they support what the commenter said.
@@aliciamcdonald7105 I don't want to be a discouragement to you, but an encouragement. Please read 1 Corinthians 1: 17-31, I can understand the meaning of the comment we are talking about, but please, understand where my heart is. You are very precious, I love you, and want the best in life for you. I loss my oldest daughter to suicide, and then my oldest son to drug overdose just within a couple months apart, and I have a hard time with people who just gives worldly quotes, and not dealing with what a struggling man is really going through life is, and it's just off the top of his head. God bless you and your family and friends Amen.
Thank you so much for your time and work on this video...we read in Acts (And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.) Acts of the Apostles 17:11 NLT Bless you Pastor, I love the spirit in which you are drawing from....😇
Thank you so much for this video. It has cleared up a lot for me. No one is perfect and I was beginning to think these men were infallible, however I still believe they are anointed teachers. However it is not what 'they' say it's about what God's Word says.🙏🏾 Thank you again.
Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, modern Dispensational Theology falls apart, and the pretrib removal of the Church falls with it.
God bless you brother. This was an excellent critique and commentary done in a very loving and humble way, yet communicated correction and truth that I believe is biblical and sound. Thank you!
I appreciate your approach, it places emphasis on scriptural context as opposed to theology. Remember, there was a time when no one would dare to publish their comments on the same page as scripture. There was a time when there was no expectation on Christians to read the books of theologians. The emphasis was scripture. Nowadays, every theologian out there are writing books and encouraging people to read them. They write books with hundreds of pages on topics the bible cover in a few sentences or paragraphs. Sadly, many of the same people can't seem to finish reading their bible.
Jonah thinking he can run away from God is one of the funniest things in the Bible, lol. I laugh when I think about it because God is literally everywhere, so you can't run away from God! I know that had nothing to do with your video but you did mention Jonah earlier and that was what came to mind.
Thank you my brother-in-Christ Jesus! You are so right and I thank God for you giving this encouraging teaching! May God bless you and keep you in His power and give you His grace and wisdom to continue to be bold in being a witness for Christ and preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ!
Oh thank you brother, that's so refreshing to hear someone say the words, I don't know. You are so on point with that. I've always done that, will not always but as I've grown I have learned to do that, I know what the word has revealed and what it hasn't revealed I don't know only God knows. For example, well someone that was a Christian and fell into drug use and debauchery for years and years and then on his deathbed he repented , will he be in heaven, I don't know only God knows. And I let it go at that and thank you brother for reinforcing that and let me know if I'm off in any spot cuz I'm always open to be corrected.
Even the best of preachers get it wrong which is funny when you consider all of these people on RU-vid who have nothing but criticism for others as though they never get it wrong
Very Good topic on here. This Channel came up on my Auto Play for the first time and I'm glad it did. Good to see someone address how the best Preachers can make mistakes or miss it but their key main tenets of their Bible teaching should be sound doctrine and Biblically correct theology. The only infallible one is God = Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Sure would have like to see someone discuss how many Evangelical leaders ventured into political idolatry, especially in the last election. Some Evangelical leaders and their wayward flocks seemed to have projected the idolatrous speech and behavior that Jesus abdicated His Throne and gave it to Trump. Not a good look to a lost and dying world in need of God's Plan of Salvation because Politics cannot save, redeem or transform a single person. Jesus Saves and is the only one who can transform and rescue whosoever calls upon His name and trust Him as their Lord & Savior. Concerning Tony Evans, I did not know he gave a sermon that God would allow those who never heard of Jesus to enter into Heaven if they had a yearning for God in their heart? This could make sense if Tony Evans cited Abraham as His example because Abram never heard of the Gospel or Jesus either and started out as a pagan in a pagan land but God Himself showed up and revealed Himself to Abraham. The Bible gave NO indication Abraham was even seeking God before God showed up in His life and blessed him as a great nation. I've also read where some Muslims had dreams of Jesus when they were in a region that never heard of the Bible or Jesus. God is not limited to a person or Missionary because He can use Dreams and Vision, or just show up Himself and give them His Plan of Salvation = The Good News Gospel but one has to be careful that it is Not a counterfeit different Gospel or vision because that is how Cults and other 1800 century false religions got started.
Nice video. This is why it is so important to study to show yourself approved. It is also why we aren't to lean fully on another human. This walk is not about being comfortable and hitting cruise control, it's about walking every step out to our own salvation. In the debate over which bible version to use, I suggest everyone begin with an Interlinear so you can at least see what the scriptures say in their original text (or as original as we can get anyway). Many misunderstandings can be cleared up by looking at the hebrew, aramaic or greek.
Pastor,thank you for being real,rational and honest,it is really appreciated. I can absolutely relate to your reasoning.You say everything in love and not in condemnation.You calm spirit brings peace of mind in a chaotic world where everyone thinks that they're right.There is always room for error, but we should be willing to stand corrected ánd be teachable because that is the Christian way.Much love from South Africa.
Very good I see gentleness kindness and respect in your analysis. Thank God for that. "You can be right ---for the wrong reasons", this is gold! Amen and amen. My good friend and former pastor would say, "you have to chew up to me and spit out the bones". We are men, and God alone cannot err. Scripture says, "let every man be found a liar and God be found true." While we must understand this is saying two things, men make errors in even doctrine that "we know in part and we prophesy in part" And lastly, God alone stands alone incomplete perfection and never changes. I have a saying that the ditches on both side of the road are wide, and the path is perfectly narrow. It's one Man wide, it is Christ-Wide. It is Christ wide. We follow him alone. Our Good Shepherd needs no border collies.
This is a great lesson and reminder that your preacher is never going to be correct 100% of the time and it doesn't make them a false teacher. I'm going to put this on my channel brother.
Thank you...I once asked a question and the pastor got a attitude because he didn't know the answer. In the 20+ yrs of organized religion I've not seen many pastors humble for real. And...some of the tongue talking people have a very superior attitude ... Yahshua brought me out 2 yrs ago. I have no church affiliation been blessed ever since. Thanks again for bringing some clarity
Brother, I agree. God’s ways and thoughts are higher. When it comes to salvation and living the Christian life, I believe the Holy Spirit through the scriptures, leads us in the right direction. We get caught up in things we cannot fully understand. We are finite, aren’t we?!
God speaks to us through His Word, through the Church family and many times our circumstances. Fact is God does not need to speak audibly any longer since His Revelation to Humanity has been and will be fulfilled. All we need to know even about the future has already been communicated by God prophetically.
Appreciate this! I think where MacArthur was coming from was the “and” in revelation. A person who does this AND does that AND etc. Not that I’m suggesting anyone take the mark but… if the mark condemns u to hell then the non believers can send anyone to hell that they please. Hold someone down and give them mark and voila…hypothetically speaking. I don’t think he would recommend or condone it but we have no idea what the mark is yet or if someone can force it on a person. Stay strong brothers and sisters. We certainly seem to be close.
Corey you kind of touched on the issue. However I would like your take on if and how people who are born mentally challenged receive faith for salvation... 🤔🙏🏼
It’s ironic, are they wrong or is it just that you don’t agree with their interpretations? “When preachers get it wrong” is an absolute statement. So what you are saying is that these men are absolutely wrong and you are absolutely right. It’s one thing to say “These four men are wrong “ as opposed to “I think these four men err in these areas.” You may not agree with Voddie’s eschatology but is “he wrong” and you right. (Remember there is no absolute statement concerning this matter by the church.) I believe that you meant to say that you did not agree with the teachings of these men (and you gave your reasons why). But sometimes in the video it sounds like you are saying that they are wrong and you are right. Which seems like a petty boastful claim since the church is still debating some of these areas, and has been for years.
I agree with Justin Peter's. Hebrews says how God speaks to man. He does it through Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the Word. He speaks to us through his Word. The bible is the word.
Me to. I mean really , how do you know when God talks to you ,I like how Justin put it in one of his sermons “was it God , or was it me , or was it the pizza I ate at supper”.
Be sure not to conflate the two “Words”. Jesus being the Word in John is not the same as the written Word of God. Altogether different words. One is the γραφή which is the scriptures whereas John refers to λόγος an utterance or message. The writer of Hebrews does not say that God has spoken to us through his γραφή (scriptures) since at the time of the writing, there was no completed canon and the scriptures that were written were few and not many had access to them.
1. There are a few things we do not know and scripture does not answer. 2. We should know what errors or differences between pastors are SIGNIFICANT with respect to our salvation and what isn't. Everything is not significant. 3. Why are some Christians obsessed with the end times. Just be right with God each day then when and how end times appear youll be okay. 4. God will bring truth to all who seek it. Trust that and leave it to God to decide on the issue of those who do not know. 5. I agree, we do not know everything but should know and will know what we NEED to know as those who seek the truth of God's Word.
This was a great illustration of God’s wisdom displayed in your favor. I remember when I was incarcerated and I had time to study the word 7 to 8 hours A-day and even all night and I would listen to some of my favorite pastors and I realize that they maybe sincere but sometimes when it comes to scripture they may be a little bit off but I do agree we all get Somethings wrong at some time. When I was a babe in Christ I believed certain things until I grew in the word and begin to understand more and it changed my thoughts about what I believed and challenged me through scripture. I've been listening to you for about 90 days or so and I really like your videos and I respect your points on the scripture. Continue to be blessed and allow God to use you in a mighty way....! Blessings!
The message that was taught by you is definitely clear truth with no errors except for the coffee cup, the Spirit is clearly your leader, guide, and teacher. When self is denied then the Spirit of Holiness separates us to God the Father and Christ Jesus and what we speak is pleasing to God due to the fact that God is speaking through us by the Spirit of truth and conviction.
Great job sir, I agree with you! I'm very thankful for John McArthur and Voddie Bauchum but I disagree with them on the same points, but that doesn't keep me from listening to them.
Indeed it should not. I personally LOVE to listen to TD Jakes and have found a lot of what he preaches to be PROFUND but I do not agree with him on a number of issues. Wont stop me from listening to him.
Awesome. .... good content. I have been enjoying your youtube channel from Ghana. More grace brother and keep it up. All the same , I agree with Voddie Baucham on eschatology. I am convince that the amil hermeneurics as used by him and others like Sam Storms, GK Beele, Joel Beeke, Anthony Hoekema etc are much more faithful to the text. All the covenant promise are yes and amen in Christ. Jesus is the fulfilment of the Davidic promise. There are only two ages in the Bible. This age and the age to come.
Brother thank you so much for this.I am brought to heart that we as God’s children and Christ followers should except Jesus as Lord. We should also give our Heavenly Father the absolute authority to do, to speak, to touch, to feel in whatever way he deems necessary to move in our lives. As the scripture say we exist for Him. With merciful grace we should always approach each other as the living temple of God with sincere humility in gratitude that we get to speak of His goodness. I am conscious to believe “everything will be laid bare before the eyes of Him whom we must give an account and we as Christians are to work out our own salvation with trembling and fear being hard-pressed on all sides to become those diamonds that shine through eternity
Hebrews 3:7-11 Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as when they provoked Me, As in the day of trial in the wilderness, Where your fathers tried Me by testing Me, And saw My works for forty years. GOD still speaks to Us but through the holy spirit. If the Holy Spirit is a Comforter, obviously a comforter will have to communicate to you at some point in time. All we have to do is to test the speak to be sure. the holy spirit has warned me about a particular sin i was about to commit and i listen to the voice in my spirit not an audible or physical voice straight into my ear.
One element of a good hermeneutic and simple meaning is asking good questions. Arguing over the right answer to a bad question yields both bad answers and distraction
This would be a corollary to your point about not knowing. One bad assumption with some questions is that we are supposed to have an answer. This is mostly a faith walk where we see dimly.
When you said, in the beginning "And then you go to the New Testament" it was a bit funny😅man, I love how you are passionate about the Gospel. I think I heard you say once that you were once in prison. I thank God that He has been in your life to lead you to help so many people find Him and the truth. May God bless your ministry and may you continue to be about the business about the truth in Yahshua.
Good video I really enjoyed how you brought out mistakes without condemning them. It really helped me, like Moses made mistakes, and it was YAH that corrected him.
When Justin peters said God is no more speaking,he means there is no more revelations and dialoquing like He(GOD) did with Moses and the prophet as the times of old. The work of human redemption has been completed with the birth,death and resurrection of Christ. Christ is the Word and he has told us how we must conduct our selves and even promised to remind us all he had taught us. The book of revelation also made things plain no new message as regards salvation. To hear God,read His word and read with all deligence and the Lord will be talking go you directly. I think he is referring to audible voice with real presence let me the burning bush . For me I know o es you get the mark of the beast such a person has lost his eternity I did agree with Jmac on that.
This is a very balanced approach to addressing, when we as ministers, pastor's, teachers, sometimes have a belief or position, about certain things taught in scripture, that are not clearly stated or supported by scripture. John MacArthurs belief that person who receives the mark of the beast, can still be saved is a classic example of this, since Revelation. 20: 9-11 clearly state this is not the case! Voddie Baucham sounds more like he disagrees with the Rapture doctrine, scripture is very clear however, that there will be a literal thousand year reign of Christ on earth! Revelation. 20:4-6 These examples are decidedly different from a person that consistently teaches doctrines, that deny one or more essentials of the historic christian world view, that is the mark of a false teacher! Great biblical observation!
Thanks for this video. Some people believe Once Saved Always Saved. I told someone who believed this (because he was someone who thought his way was the ONLY way), that there are more verses that say you CAN lose your salvation. He responded "Oh, so u think can LOSE your salvation"? I said I didn't know BUT shouldn't we always be SURE by putting God first - ALSO there COULD be other ways to look at things - and BACKING it up with verses. He told me you CAN'T pick and choose to prove your narrative - I said "are you telling ME or YOURSELF". I just told him whatever we believe - ESPECIALLY something where there could be more than one way of looking at it - to ALWAYS bring it up in PRAYER - and be ready to give an ACCOUNT to God for that belief. God Bless everyone.

I understand the premiss of your channel and your zeal for trying to convey the Bible. But I have one complaint. As a Biblical academic myself you seem to be choosing these men because of their reformed theological hermeneutic. At least 2 of the 4 are scholars of high regard. You may disagree theologically but that doesn't make their hermeneutic wrong. May I ask where you received your formal theological education? When I disagreed with a theological concept of one of my professors I at least understood that they know more than me and maybe I could be wrong, or I need to spend more time dissecting every word of the text provided hermeneutically, grammatically, and studying the original language. Your premiss of "even the best preachers get it wrong" implies that these learned men do not spend hours dissecting the Word of God making sure when they speak it is hermeneutically correct. We need to stop criticizing Preachers on issues that are secondary issues that people can disagree on (and calling it wrong) and bring to light the heretical teachings of others that are contrary to theological orthodoxy.
It’s a little difficult to cover this topic with the correct words. He did say I may be wrong. His topic is a narrow issue, we should be careful not to take it as blanket criticism of their expertise.
26:32 - That's what happened to me when it comes to the pre-tribulation rapture viewpoint. I used to believe in it and while I haven't rejected it per se, I'm now on the fence when it comes to the issue, as I'm inclined to think that the pre-wrath view may be correct, after looking at a different view to what I was taught. I love what Proverbs 18:17 says about this issue: "The first to plead his case seems right, until another comes and examines him." That's why it's always important to look at other views when it comes to non-essential doctrines.
Fair play. The reformation took us out from under the erroneous despotism of the Popes. Sadly, however, due to the propensity in human nature to follow after men, many have elected their own private Popes in believing everything that comes out of the mouth of these men as infallible, when none of them are...by nature or in practice.
God is in control I trust and have faith that he's got this handled. I think we try to understand things that God only truly knows. Just pray and trust in Jesus Christ grace
I'm with Tony Evans, I've been thinking the same thing for years. Paul states something similar, when he says those not under the law will be judged by their consciences. Christ is still needed for salvation, somehow the person with no knowledge of Christ will still have a way of accepting or rejecting. We literally have only a couple of lines of scripture that briefly touches upon this topic. We cannot make blank statements of judgement of those who have never heard.
Excellent commentary! How true it is that even the wisest of saints sometimes get it wrong. No one is right 100% of the time except the Lord. There’s room for disagreement on secondary issues. There’s an old saying that has been attributed to one of the ancient patriarchs. Unity and essentials liberty and nonessentials and in all things charity.
"I am not sure" or "I need to investigate" or " I DON'T KNOW" are all acceptable and honest answers. YOU ARE right brother we should avoid answers based from opinion or something we may have studied out years prior but reasons for our thoughts previously may have changed due to greater understanding of scripture ( better hermanuetics) or languages in which they are written... Humility should be a gold standard to any servant, great or small. I never try not judge the entirity of ministry on escateological views becuase to KNOW is to be in it, then you will KNOW, as ezekiel says repeatidly. Maranatha brothers, may the LOVE of CHRIST lead you into increasing truth of his word, the true WORD of our creator, the Holy Bible !!!
Thank you Min. Cory for sage advice and godly counsel. Sometimes good preachers get it wrong because they are human and not divine. They are not infallible. I agree, it doesn't make them false teachers. God knows that we aren't perfect, but we are striving for perfection--to do what is holy and pleasing to God. I trust the Scriptures above all, along with the leading and guiding of the Holy Spirit.
Does anyone know if John MacArthur Jr ever recanted his saying you can take the mark of the beast and go to heaven? I ask people I know and they get defensive and question who's asking about John macarthur jr, it's as bad the Roman Catholic church with the pope at times .
It start when a man heart is lifted against God by teaching what he think not what he is led to preach. It's easy to have the mouth of your own because the is no Head over you and Lord.
Brother, I am not seminary trained, neither was the apostles. One thing I have learned in study of God's Word is to be hot or cold. Not caring if the truth of God's Word offends, not tip-toeing around the holy Word of GOD. To say there's no hearing from the Lord today is not truth. The Holy Spirit speaks to my spirit, I have had times in prayer where all I could do was listen. I've seen visions of lights. To say HE hasn't gifted us with spiritual gifts yet pastors give themselves spiritual titles. Signed the least of his children. I make no boast or proclaim to be wiser than anyone of the Way. And the Way you know.
True. I had to be humble when listening to critics if Mathew Stevenson- who I thought could "teach" no wrong. With time and discernment, I realized that my zeal blinded me too. The Bible is the last authority and even with the freedom we have in Christ, all is not acceptable to HIM. Glory produces growth and transformation and many feel that a defensive posture is a sign that one is called. I believe that Grace warms your demeanor but affirms you secondarily. We don't have to be feared or hated to appear powerful in GOD.
Brother I commend this video . Well done. Man fallible. Wisdom is key. We can call out one another in love. When in doubt check it out ( with God's Word). God bless you & your ministry
Found your channel and am thankful for it. Question. What was it that you disagreed with on tithing from Tony Evans. Just curious, and I too love the story of Joseph and your testimony. God bless what you’re doing here
Romans 3:10,11,12 There is none that is righteous no not one, none that understand, There is none that doeth good no not one, none that seekers after God, Jesus said there is none that is good, only one that is God.
No, many things the writers did not understand when God used them. And also God gives us the way to look for truth,(hermeneutic). Compare verses, here a little, there a little, line upon line, and so on. But the difference is the needle that is woven through these verses, is stitching together information that comes to fruition, in one's minds eye when it is God's will to open. This is progressive Revelation, this is being guided into truth.
I love these preachers too but when they say things I don't agree with I wanted to put them right ( get me !!!ha ha ha who do I think I am) but your approach is very inspiring .lets just love each other a bit more forgive a bit more .test the word. try are best to seek the truth ,I have changed my mind over the years over many things ,usualy when the holy spirit puts his finger on something and backs me into a corner .all we have to do is remember the grace with witch god has dealt with us and extend that to others .
2 Timothy 2:14 Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 16 Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 17 Their teaching will spread like gangrene. I AM CLEARLY AFRAID OF MISTAKES MADE BY A PASTOR, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT QUICK TO SAY THEY ARE WRONG, WHICH WILL CAUSE SOMEONE TO STUMBLE. MY SOUL IS AT STAKE
Turn of the 21st century, explorers discovered a tribe of people deep within the South American Amazon Jungle, who, believe it not, are direct decindants of some of the indigenous peoples who traveled across the Bering Strait some 1600 years ago. This made astounding news. Spain had invaded and conquered South America, between 1513, and 1540; the transatantic slave trade had begun about this time, with 90% of the black slaves being taken to South America, for aroximately 366 years. The conquered peoples of South America were eventually freed, and converted to Christianity by Spain. The Gospel has been taught for some 500 years here in the Americas, and we discovered natives deep in the Amazon who had never heard the message of Salvation. What's the likely fate of their ancestors who were here unbeknownst to us the pass 500 years?
You did a great job on this teaching and the one before this. Thanks for correcting me on some of those scriptures from some of my favorite teachers. I agree with your assessment and thing your doing a great job.

Can’t wait to meet him Come LORD JESUS COME Please pray for alll non believers! Thank You & God Bless you all!❤️
Great video brother. Thanks for this. As evident in the video most of the errors you highlighted in these lovely preachers are eschatological aside Justin, whom I greatly love. I think I tilt more to your view about hearing from God while I can also understand Justin’s point. These hyper charismatic guys have caused so much abuse on the issue of God speaking. I rightly believe we shouldn’t fall to the other extreme because of that. It honors God when we simply say “I don’t know or I’m not sure” when we truly don’t know. The best of us would always get certain things wrong. Thanks for your approach God’s blessings on the rest of your week I am
