The God of Abraham and Isaac is the Alpha & Omega.

As I have had the privilege of ministering to others walking through tremendous hardships and suffering, the most precious consolation has been the Incarnation of the Lord Jesus Christ and the hardships that he willingly and purposely walk through on behalf of his people. Everything from the feeling of abandonment, betrayal, rejection, being plotted against, death of family, death of friends, spiritual, mental and physical agony, being scorned by his own people, being thought of as insane by his own relatives,...etc. ultimately culminating in unjustified suffering and death that no human being can possibly begin to fathom. O, the glory of the Lord Jesus, our great and merciful high priest who is making intercession for us.

This is my grandpa 😊 (seriously) I love his sermons

Hello Sirs. I do appreciate your talk. Thank you for your time and efforts. May I make a request, would you mind keeping conversation recording to just conversation? I hear music in the background and I am finding it difficult with my hearing disorders, Autism and ADHD to concentrate and understand the conversation over the music. I know there are many people who find background music difficult/negatively impactful for various reasons. I'd like to really concentrate on the topic, because I really wish for God to be glorified and magnified. I'd appreciate it very much if you would consider these difficulties, in light of the importance of the topic. Thank you in advance for your consideration. In appreciation, Donna

May our Triune God, Father, Son, Holly Spirit, be glorifyed. Greetings from Brazil.

Geoff lived 5 minutes away from us in Aberystwyth. This is a great upload, many thanks.

This is going to be brilliant!

So edifying! As Augustine says, the true object of enjoyment is the Triune God - the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit. Looking forward to reading this book

29:25 EXACTLY!! You can look up the weather for 70AD, and 1948, (technology is amazing - hence YHWH saying that so much will be revealed in the last days… anyway)… and it was sunny that day - the entire day 😊 AND the day

As a former Roman Catholic with 16 years of Catholic education, I know Catholics agree that we are saved by grace, but grace doesn't mean "free gift," grace is the help God gives you through the sacraments and you have to cooperate with grace to be saved.

Many blessings from this Ian! Lord bless you!

A gentle and needed critique of a general lazy and/or disinterest in our spiritual appetite for God himself as He truly is and/or the deep things of God

Looking forward to reading this book

John 14:26, 14:6, 3:3-5, repent, Happy sabbath day, Revelation 2:17, I received a white stone, it just mysteriously appeared in my KJV bible, Revelation 10:28 ? Revelation 3:10 ! God bless, shalom

Thank you, brothers! So helpful!

Understandably appreciating Owen's greatness but how can you explain Owen showed no mercy towards Richard Baxter regardless of reasons? If Owen's great literatures are to be treasured, why then the church in UK & EU has failed today? There has to be both discipline & restraint to not worship dead men's literatures within christian faith.

As a Catholic monk and priest, I have this to say about the application and fruition of the once-for-all redemption. The Letter to the Hebrews does emphasize that the sacrifice of the Cross is “once for all.” However, that same Letter also says that the ascended Christ “always lives to make intercession” for us at the Father’s right hand (Heb 7.25). Our Lord’s victory is complete, but he has not retired as our great High Priest. The evangelical Anglican theologian John Stott pointed out that, though Christ’s work of redemption is once-for-all on the Cross, Scripture also teaches that the Holy Spirit’s work is MORE and MORE-that is, still making the redemption fruitful in all ages. John Stott puts it this way: “The Holy Spirit is constantly, and indeed increasingly showing Christ to us and forming Christ in us” (Evangelical Truth, p. 36). All of this can be summed up in two one-syllable words: the preposition FOR and the preposition IN. Christ has already done everything FOR us by his death on the Cross; he is risen and dies no more. However, Christ’s work IN us by the Holy Spirit (sanctification) is ongoing. What remains now is for that perfect once-for-all redemption on the Cross to be applied to us and to bear fruit in us. When Catholics say "we offer Christ" in the Eucharist, this is the exact opposite of a Pelagian works-righteousness, since the expression really means we have nothing else to offer that is of any avail as acceptable worship. It expresses in liturgical worship precisely what Augustus Toplady wrote: "Nothing in my hand I bring / simply to Thy Cross I cling." In fact, we sing that often at Mass in my parish. And, in every Mass, the priest prays at the altar, "Look not on our sins but on the FAITH of your Church."

Wow. Very good explanation. Worth of listening. Thank you.

All who claim Paul as if an Apostle of Christ, are of the evil one. All who sweat oaths are not of Christ, but of the evil one.

43:22 There is not, and cannot even possibly be any court that holds Paul as if an Apostle; Since Paul was not, and is not and Apostle of the kingdom of Christ.

39:00 Annetaan - such that is given from above, not from earth.

Yacov is not Israel, and vice versa. They are mutually exclusive. It's either or.

Tallmudder phariseans are not of Israel.

Phariseans murdered Jesus Christ the only Son and heir of God Almighty of the Heavens and earth. INRIX

21:01 Anyways, Paul was not an Apostle.

I hate to come across feeling sorry for myself but i just wish my pastor could have heard this type of messege 2 years ago when i joined his congregation. I have lost 2 wives. First one of 22 years in 2009. 2nd one of only 2.5 years in 2021. I do not like that i feel selfish leaving my congregation now mostly because my pastor never ever asks about how i am doing or ever offering to pray with me. I find this so confusing as he too has lost a wife a decade or so ago. He since remarried and had more kids and is happy. Appeantly, he has never encouraged the elders or deacons to check on me as nobody ever says anything. I asked several times to be added to a prayer list. Never happened. I have told my pastor several times that after worship I will go to my car and weep as I miss my wife so much and more than anything wish that she could go to the house of the Lord with me each Lord's day. Thank you Brother for this talk. I know it was mostly meant for pastors but it gave me hope that I may get some attention concerning the pain in my heart at my new church. I too am so sorry for your loss. God bless 🙏

26:00 You are possibly misinterpreting Patton's intentions... Patton was probably trying to recalibrate the traumatized paralyzed man's psychological and psychosomatic termostate, by slapping him - even though Patton did it socially undesirably; the psychological/psychosomatic termostate can be recalibrated also by for example yogic breath, EMDR, and by cold/ice swimming.

Thank you for this video. Very informative. 17:53 minutes 19:21 minutes

Just what I need to get started on my essay on Schleiermacher! Thank you!

One of the main problems I have with Dr. Hamilton's presentation of the Gospel is his use of Faith alone. It is simply not a biblical term. Here are my justifications for saying this: Point 1 - Paul never uses the term Faith alone. Rather, he talks about faith, working through love. Or faith apart from works of the law. But nowhere does he say, Faith alone. Point 2 - James explicitly rejects the term Faith alone. Here James is talking about Faith that is purely intellectual. He points out that even the demons have that kind of faith. Given point 1 and 2, it seems clear to me that Paul is preaching a properly formed faith. A faith that does not exclude love, but includes love. This matches what James says. This also matches what Jesus says to the rich man - Lord, what must I do to be saved. Jesus lists the 9 out of the ten commandments. Those that have to do with love of neighbor. The rich man says he has done all of these. Jesus then invites him to leave all he has and follow him, showing the centrality of the first commandment. Love God above all things. Jesus knows that we cannot do this perfectly. In fact, without faith in Christ, and love for Christ, that man has no hope of salvation. So the question is this - why couldn't that man follow Jesus? Why couldn't he simply make an act of faith and all would be well? The Gospel tells us - because he had many riches. Because he was overly attached to the things of this world. Because he loved Mammon more that he love Christ. And so this illustrates what a properly formed faith demands from us. It demands from us a love for God that puts the love of God above all other loves. And this is what following Jesus gives us - the forgiveness of sins, through Christ's death on the cross. This is justification. But it also provides and demands sanctification from us - which is the purification of our desires, such that nothing comes between us and God. Can we do this perfectly? Of course not. But Christ lives to intercede for us on our behalf - those he has redeemed. As Hebrews says, our God is a refining fire. And if we correspond to the graces he continually sends our way, we can be made clean. This process of being made clean is that heart of what it means to be a Christian. It is at the heart of what is means to be saved. A protestant might say that these things are simply evidence that we have been saved. I say sure. But that formed faith, that purifying fire, must be followed day in and day out. Every day, we must renew our determination to take up our cross and follow Christ.

Hasn't Dr Hamiltiun ripentid yet? Calvin a murdrur.

John Calvin was the worst Bible exegete in history. The One True Faith is the Catholic Faith of the Nicene Creed. Calvinism is a heresy.

• God whisperers pretend to read God's mind. They will tell you that only those who believe in one very special brand of faith (out of tens of thousands) will go to heaven. These punks and skanks claim they can divine exactly what kind of belief is required to force God's free will to save you. They tell you that there is only one single social club you may hang out in. They say they worked out exactly what 'mere Christianity' is all about. God whisperers cannot read God's mind. It's blasphemy Calvinists got one thing right: God "freely and unchangeably ordained whatsoever comes to pass." Calvinists nevertheless are very sure of whom God elected and whom He "reprobated." In that way they expose themselves as god-whisperers. Eternal fire awaits the Calvinist and Reformed riffraff

Lol, looks like for the first 1500 years all the early Christians were wrong. That is Martin Luther came in, ran away with a nun, removed books from the bible and decided that sacred tradition didn't matter

How can Calvin/Calvinists say that anything is "perilous to our salvation" if they hold that, before He created anyone, God by an unchanging decree had determined which individuals would be saved, by irresistible grace and absolute guarantee of final perseverance?

Evangelical Protestants like Dr Hamilton object to Catholics that “Jesus said on the Cross, ‘It is finished’ (Jn 19.30). So he’s not dead or dying now. Why show a suffering or dead Jesus on the crucifix? Why offer the Sacrifice of the Mass? He died once for all, and he is now alive in glory!” The Letter to the Hebrews does emphasize that the sacrifice of the Cross is “once for all.” However, that same Letter also says that the ascended Christ “always lives to make intercession” for us at the Father’s right hand (Heb 7.25). Our Lord’s victory is complete, but he has not retired as our great High Priest. The evangelical Anglican theologian John Stott (no Roman sympathizer!) pointed out that, though Christ’s work of redemption is once-for-all on the Cross, Scripture also teaches that the Holy Spirit’s work is MORE and MORE-that is, still making the redemption fruitful in all ages. John Stott puts it this way: “The Holy Spirit is constantly, and indeed increasingly showing Christ to us and forming Christ in us” ("Evangelical Truth," p. 36). All of this can be summed up in two one-syllable words: the preposition FOR and the preposition IN. Christ has already done everything FOR us by his death on the Cross; he is risen and dies no more. However, Christ’s work IN us by the Holy Spirit is ongoing. What remains now is for that perfect once-for-all redemption on the Cross to be applied to us and to bear fruit in us. Our continual drawing-near to Christ is by faith and repentance--and that drawing-near is constant and ongoing.

As a Catholic priest and monk, I appreciate the tone of this critical response and also that it is from a clearly recognizable Reformed confessional standpoint. I can assure you that I follow the opinion of St Thomas Aquinas on the unique status of Holy Scripture as directly divinely inspired and inerrant, with tradition as a subordinate (though binding) authority to that of Scripture. And your Catholic mother was correct: we're not cannibals since we're not consuming dead human flesh but the life-giving body-and-blood of the glorified Christ, whose substantial presence in the Blessed Sacrament is not localized (see what Aquinas says). I do wish to point out that Pope Benedict XVI did say this: "Luther's phrase: "faith alone" is true, if it is not opposed to faith in charity, in love. Faith is looking at Christ, entrusting oneself to Christ, being united to Christ, conformed to Christ, to his life. And the form, the life of Christ, is love; hence to believe is to conform to Christ and to enter into his love. So it is that in the Letter to the Galatians in which he primarily developed his teaching on justification St Paul speaks of faith that works through love (cf. Gal 5: 14)" (General Audience, 19 November 2008). As it happens, I very often use the hymn "Rock of Ages" at Mass, with special emphasis on the phrase, "Nothing in my hand I bring/ simply to thy Cross I cling." That is what it means to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, to come to the Father solely on the basis of Christ's shed Blood and to plead in praise and thanksgiving its infinite saving and sanctifying power. I see no contradiction between defending the distinctive tenets of our own confession of faith (Catholic, Reformed, Lutheran, Anglican, etc.) while also having ad hoc cooperation on matters of common concern and shared conviction that threaten Christianity itself. The great Reformed champion J. Gresham Machen, said the following in his fine book, "Christianity and Liberalism": "Far more serious still is the division between the Church of Rome and evangelical Protestantism in all its forms. Yet how great is the common heritage which unites the Roman Catholic Church, with its maintenance of the authority of Holy Scripture and with its acceptance of the great early creeds, to devout Protestants today! We would not indeed obscure the difference which divides us from Rome. The gulf is indeed profound. But profound as it is, it seems almost trifling compared to the abyss which stands between us and many ministers of our own Church. The Church of Rome may represent a perversion of the Christian religion; but naturalistic liberalism is not Christianity at all."

Does a god need worship.?. Of course not. How embarrassing for him if he did.

We do know when our Lord returns, on the last day! The last day of this present evil age! We don’t know when that is. 50 years? 100 years? That is when Jesus raises up “all the father has given him”. John chapter 6- he says it 4 times. You believe otherwise you are calling Jesus a liar! Lazarus’ sister knew! She knew her brother would be raised up on the last day! All the early church knew. Ian it was a good sermon! Unlike how the pre trib rapture people go on with 50,000 words about a false doctrine that is not in scripture. We know Jesus is returning after the tribulation of those days, after the sun is darkened, the moon doesn’t shine and the stars disappear. He is returning a second time not a second and third time. Hebrews 9:28.

On this Rock I will Build My Church!

My litmus test is simple - if I shouldn't be Catholic, you must tell me which of the thousands of contradictory sects I should belong to. Once you do that, you must tell me the name of one person in each century between 33 AD and the 16th century who believed what you believe. To Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and Antiochian Orthodox, this endeavor is trivial. To a Protestant, it's impossible.

It goes beyond "What would Calvin say". What did Paul say? Galatians 1 spells it out simply and accurately. Quite simply, if you need anything more than Jesus for Justification, you might as well tell Him to His face "You just weren't a good enough sacrifice for my sins". If you don't repent, you will say that to Him, in person, at your judgment.

I do biblical content.

The Rise of the Papacy Paul writes in 2 Thessalonians Chap 2 v 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.. When Paul wrote there was already a principle of evil at work in the Church which was going to culminate in the appearance of the Man of Sin , the Son of Perdition. Church authority was going to be centred in one person who would usurp the headship of Christ over the Church and thus facilitate the introduction, spread and imposition of error. This was going to happen after there was a falling away ( an apostasy) within the Church.This is what happened in the history of the Church. However it did not happen overnight but , by the working of the mystery of iniquity, through deceit and strong delusion , it crept in by degrees. The development of the distinctive doctrines and practices of the Roman Catholic Church, which included the claim to temporal power, which were unknown in the New Testament Church, were gradually engrafted on to the doctrine and practice of the primitive church.

4:00 Your mother was right. Catholics do not teach cannibalism. I'm not sure why you thought we did. Those who teach real presences, such as the Catholics and Lutherans do, explicitly reject the accusation of cannibalism. Transubstantiation is not the same thing as Transaccidentiation. That is what you thought we Catholics believed. But Catholicism teaches transubstantiation, full stop. No accidents are there. The accidents are in heaven, at the right hand of the Father. That is where Jesus's physical body is. His substance, however, is in both places. The accidents of bread and wine are still there. They are not an illusion. But they don't point to the substance of bread and wine anymore. They point to and are united with Jesus's body and blood. This preserves the bread and wine's character as a sacrament. Its accidents. In addition, the body of Christ, is very much the Church, as well as the physical body of the Lord. This seems to be what Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians 10:16-17. The Eucharist is oriented towards the building up of the Body of Christ in his Church. What you find in the first thousand years of Church history, before Berangarus, is both symbolic and literal readings being held together, often by the same person. Augustine had both. So did Ambrose. It is only when some tried to bifurcate both understandings making them mutually exclusive, did all these problems of interpretation arise. Luther, Zwingli, and Calvin all three differed on their understanding of the Eucharist.

Ever since the satanic cult of sola scriptura a man made tradition invented by a devil possessed man was introduced five hundred years ago many idiots like Calvin Smythe Zwingli Henry Ellen Knox Wesley Russell etc started to interpret the Bible on their own wild imagination and even adding their wishful thinking or twisting historical facts or even tried to manipulate the holy Bible itself in order to make their satanic theology fit into it and this madness go on and on and on and on and after five centuries by now about fifty thousand idiots like McArthur, Benny, Copeland, Crepo, Osteen, Todd, Hagee, Ortlund, Mike, Tiff, Wilson etc are doing all sorts of nonsense and all are contradicting each other all the time bringing chaotic anarchism into Christianity

The belief Christianity of God needed reformation by Man.

There is only one Church, one body of Christ

We really need to stop talking about the first century early church as if it’s just the same as today. There were no bibles. Period. The vast majority of early Christians only heard the scriptures when the old testament was read in Synagogues, and they heard the Gospel when it was preached to them. The church had many years of work and deliberations before settlement on an NT canon. The idea that everyone was being guided by the Holy Spirit to recognize the right books is sheer nonsense. Christ gave that power of the Spirit to his apostles, who in turn gave it to those they entrusted to succeed them. Paul makes it super clear that he has a special fatherhood over Timothy and Titus, having appointed them. You cannot pick up a Bible and just read it and then declare yourself a successor to the apostles. That isn’t in your power. Calvin couldn’t do that any more than I can, which is why he’s a heretic. Find Peter, find Paul, find your bishop, and there you will find Christ’s Church in whom you can trust.

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. - John 6:63 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” - Matthew 26:26-29 Where is the transubstantiation in the above passages? Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. - Acts 2:33 The exalted Christ is at the right hand of the Father and His real Presence is at Communion Table with the believers through the given Holy Spirit. The very late transubstantiation dogma is an Aristotelian accretion.
