Holding Babies, Ignoring Dates & Cake | Bits of Wisdom
Waffle!! It was NOT a man! It was a BOY. He was seen running away from Jesus at 4am in a Park. Jesus was at a party prior to this and seen stumbling around at after leaving… What was the Purple on his beard? Theres No Easy Way Out and theres NO shortcut Home!! Reading the texts in Greek in its original form Does NOT make for good reading
Recently joined the church choir at age 66 after decades away! Learning all the new songs and tempos and phrasing is difficult for me and the choir, much less for the congregation, but somehow it all comes together into beautiful worship!
i had to watch this more than once, my mind has been blown🤯amazing 👏🏽
Deep lesson, if we lie and hold out on giving all proceeds to the church, God will kill us.
I have read a lot of the comments below and as a 75 year old life long Christian I ask myself why church attendance is falling. The church must move forward in grace. There is beautiful church music, both traditional and modern. There is room for both for growth. I wonder if members of congregations in the 17th and 18th century complained about the 'modern' music written in their time, which are still being played today. Any music that brings people to God has a place in today's church.
amazing knownledge, Glory to God, thank you for sharing !
Are more chapters coming?
A lot of modern CCM pop artists sound like they're on Valium. It sounds bland and boring, and almost puts you to sleep, instead of wanting you to fight the good fight of faith.
Modern CCM pop music is very feminized, I just don't feel that masculine energy in it. It's sounds too soft and boring. I don't have anything against women.
Zionism
1. CCM is getting more edgy in the music and very superficial in theology. 2. Worship bands are getting "too perfect" to the point where no one needs to join in. 3. It isn't Spirit-led but adrenaline driven. 4. The music is built to sell and fuel how WE FEEL, not on worshipping God. Too much is focused on the precision and perfection of the performance. I believe the true act of worship is lost. The music is too much like the world in its presentation. Repetition is created in hopes to "drive a message" yet, it does not bring the worship because we don't know God. We literally worship our feelings we have toward God. Sadly, it's the worship band who gets more glory than God. Lastly, every church goes after the "Big 3" (Elevation, Hillsong, Bethel), which makes millions off their music. Is God pleased with this greed? Their music is mostly sound driven, lacking in much theological worship, and based to sell. When I go to church, I see people enjoying the performance but not worshipping. It's nothing more than a church-based concert performed every Sunday. I would dare ANY leader to remove the music and tell the congregation to worship the Lord. They would be like deer to headlights. Completely lost. Leonard Ravenhill said it well: The church brings the menu but doesn't deliver the food. Worship music today doesn't deliver the goods.
The only reason I found this is because of of my teacher. Shoutout Mr. Howell
It's lacks meaning. Seems like all of the artists are saying what they know they're supposed to say for the textbook version of Christianity but has a Christian I know it's not always that easy and black and white and there's a lot of secular artist to have a way of connecting with me and not that their glorifying sin but that is a way for me to relate to other people who aren't talking about how amazing and wonderful and great everything is because I'm not at that point in my life yet so I can't share their same experience
"Be still and know that I am God."
This movie was so perfect, and you do a great job giving it analytical praise.
he is an anti christ anti christian. Muslims see him as a prophet jews say he is burning in sht
Joseph Benson has good commentary on these scriptures, as the Angel of the Lord, was Jesus preincarnate. Showing Himself as the fire on the altar, and also how he addresses the fact that people were even then arguing on how to say His name (as they do today). Jdg 13:18 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my ‹ name, seeing it is secret? Jdg 13:19 So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered it upon a rock unto the LORD: and the angel did wondrously; and Manoah and his wife looked on. Jdg 13:20 For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground. Jdg 13:21 But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the LORD. Jdg 13:22 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
Judges 13:17-18 That when thy sayings come to pass, we may do thee honour - Either by making honourable mention of thee, or by showing respect to thee by a present, such as they usually gave to prophets. Seeing it is secret - Meaning, not only, that it would be of no importance or service to him to know his name; but that his name was hidden from mortal men, and wonderful, as the word "N Dpeli signifies, and is translated Isa 9:6, where it is applied to Christ, the wonderful child born, and son given, who has the government upon his shoulders, and is the mighty God. The angel means, My nature and essence, often signified by name in the Scriptures, are incomprehensible. This shows, that this was the Angel of the covenant, the Son of God, that spoke to Manoah.
The Bible truly is art!! Such a gooooood book. So deep and complex, and so powerful and active. It accomplishes true work in us. Amazing the things we get to discover.
Also, remember that as a wealthy figure of note, in a highly dignified shame and honor culture, Zach would have had to utterly sacrifice his dignity - in front of a hostile public - in order climb up that tree. It was a childish thing to do, and injurious to his public image and reputation. Imagine New York mayors Michael Bloomberg or Bill De Blasio climbing onto an iron tree railing on Mahattan’s Fifth Avenue, in view of TV cameras and Central Park, hoping to get a glimpse of Santa Claus in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. They would have been mocked for years. The prodigal son’s father did the same thing in running down the road to meet his lost son. Running was not something a man of wealth ever did. Only servants or messengers or someone vulnerable would have run. He’d have had to pick up the skirts of his robes like a woman and look silly in front of his whole household and slaves. But he did it spontaneously without being self-conscious or ashamed. And he had been looking for his son out that window and down that road for many weeks, hoping his son would one day come home.
I find it odd Dans tribe is excluded from the 144,000 sealed in revelation, many say it’s due to them leaving Israel and idol worshipping, but how would Solomon be forgiven for black magic, hundreds of wives etc and his seed gets to continue ruling forever, while Dans tribe gets no protection in end times. “He will once again gather you from all the nations... Even if your exiles are at the end of the heavens, the Lord, your God, will gather you from there, and He will take you from there. And the Lord, your God, will bring you...” (Deuteronomy 30:3-5).
Immanuel meaning El within man, Babylon meaning gate of Elyon Baba in Aramaic meaning gate the word god is an old English word first used in the 6th century derived from the proto Germanic word gudan meaning to invoke, to call upon a higher power taken from the Christian Codex Argenteus 4th century. The Aramaic word for power is El Elohim the plural El Elyon means most high power. El Elyon in everything and everything in El Elyon. We are fractal parts of the whole fractal energy discovered in the trans-universal void otherwise known as dark energy, out of the darkness cometh the light, the water in our bodies is in a crystalline structure that creates fractal energy, as above so below as within so without, the cells in our bodies create light photons that send and receive coded messages, the pineal gland is made up of piezoelectric crystals it has antenna like hairs covering the outer surface it's our minds eye, over time it can become calcified from the toxins in our foods and water especially fluoride drastically reducing the creation of melatonin and serotonin both essential for our physical and spiritual well-being. If thy eye be clear then the whole body is in light but if thy eye be cloudy then body is in darkness. " I shall call this place Peniel meaning face of of El because I have seen El face to face and and have been spared. Immanuel always used the sheep gate to enter and leave the city. Jerusalem is Babylon The Great fallen in the book of revelation.
I’m amazed adults still believe this nonsense, let alone talk about it.
Very insightful. I already loved this film, and now I love it even more! I did not perceive the analogy of "liturgy" before, but I admit that it's spot-on... For sure, the feast was a holy liturgy... What a great film! Great analysis! ❤
Oxygen is my favorite track of the album. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I like your approach it is very genuine and honest. Question, why do you think Jesus in John 8 says the things that he says. From what you have said here it seams Jesus is saying the Jews are still making the mistakes of the original Adam. Also why does god add the H to Abram. Have you got any thing to add? Thank you
There is no globe...earth is a realm apart from heaven which is many level...if you really read the bible there's no globe..read it again until you understand..
Thank you, Praise God, you ve helped many of us out there, certainly well phrased and I do hope Christian song leaders any decision makers take note of your content, the structure and explanation of it all, music and worship is integral and yet the latest form of corporate worship are missing in many parts of it, what is was first originated, the power of music is to unite the congregation and not the other way. In a complex world of misinformation , videos like this certainly helps the give the correct concise and precise explanations.
Probably has nothing to do with lack of virtue. Has it occurred to you that she might have rejected him? My guess is that he suffered unrequited love. But perhaps something else happened. It's not uncommon for a person to love someone other than his or her spouse. Many things can stand in the way, such that a relationship doesn't develop, or is cut short. No, I don't think Dante used Beatrice to "bring himself down". He simply loved her, but for whatever reason he couldn't be with her. Also: it begs the question as to why he didn't use his wife "to bring himself down". However, I am wary of making many references to biography, or possible biography. A work of art stands on its own. His treatment of Beatrice, his presentation and mastery of verse are genius, irrespective of what may or may not have been the case between them in real life.

Thanks for your discussion of this masterpiece. One problem I see with Sternberg is that he uses a wholly difference set of vocabulary for the already well set vocabulary in this field. That makes his book unnecessarily difficult to understand.
King Solomon was a gross idolater. If he hadn’t written the Song of Solomon and Ecclesiastes, one would doubt that he was saved.
I find it odd Dans tribe is excluded from the 144,000 sealed in revelation, many say it’s due to them leaving Israel and idol worshipping, but how would Solomon be forgiven for black magic, hundreds of wives etc and his seed gets to continue ruling forever, while Dans tribe gets no protection in end times. “He will once again gather you from all the nations... Even if your exiles are at the end of the heavens, the Lord, your God, will gather you from there, and He will take you from there. And the Lord, your God, will bring you...” (Deuteronomy 30:3-5).
Could someone please comment with modern Christian music that ISN'T like this?
2 Corinthians 11:3 "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ." To me, all that analysis that JP does to find the hidden practical philosophical meaning behind Christ and the Bible is what Paul warned us about. To be aware of those preaching a different and complicated/gnostic gospel that isn't the simple and straightforward Gospel of salvation by the Grace of God through faith in the blood of His Son Jesus Christ.
Dude your critique of the movie was just as beautiful as the movie itself.Thanks.That was a gifted critique.
Oh, , and yes, my ears are so tired of hearing the open 4th and 5ths in those guitar chords......often with little or no bass as a musical foundation too. And, did I mention the overly loud drums as if they are playing at an amphitheater?
Did I mention that stringed instruments and percussion were played in church centuries before the pipe organ.
👍🏽
I’d say to the points about rhythm if the church can’t learn the song there’s a problem. Simplifying it down for the congregation is the problem. Nowadays, I mean, people learn all kinds of songs on the radio perfectly. They need to take the time to learn the song as being played and learn it properly none of these things are dream theateror Mozart. People need to quit getting away with being lazy and not understanding what they’re singing at church.
This video hit all of the points very well. Contemporary worship teams seem more interested in being superstars on stage rather than leading a truly inspired congregation. Just two examples of shallow and even unscriptural lyrics; "Reckless Love". Really? God has ordained all things according to his sovereign will. There is nothing reckless about God. Another one; "He Loves Us". I don't even know where to start on that one. The lyrics sound like a drug fueled hallucination! We need to stop the Sunday morning rock concerts and humble ourselves to give God worthy praise.
The entire earth is deceived already and most worship the beast as god. The falling away happened long ago as it’s a falling away from truth. Babylon is probably the seven continents. The little horn that rises from the 10( UN) is Israel. The evil Yahweh is the beast as there are two Yahwehs. This is what Jesus was telling them comparing the Father to Yahweh in the Exodus. You can’t understand Revelation without knowing Genesis and what took place. The first creation ADAM (male/female) was made by Elohim. The second creation Eve was made by Yahweh and brought to Adam to get named because women wasn’t of the human race. Adam names Eve women as he was responsible for naming all the beast of the field. Jesus came and sowed wheat and satan came and sowed tares. Jesus said they had not seen it heard the Father, and also all who came before Him are thrives and robbers. The Father and His Spirit are LIGHT and NO darkness exist. This means you cannot apply the evil acts to the Father or it results in Blasphemy of His Spirit. It’s written a veil meaning a supernatural blindness goes over the eyes when the Old Testament is read. This means it contains lies as Jeremiah said in the Bible and people still argue its infallibility. Jesus said beware of the scribes and few take the warning seriously. It says divide the word, and again few understand. The Bible itself tells you Yahweh is the beast many different ways, 2 Sam 24 and 1 Chron 21 for example. Much of what’s written is already happening because the earth has a cut off date of 2070. As John wrote for those who have ears to hear, calculate. Your pastors are literally hirelings as it’s written and it’s the blind leading the blind. Follow the instructions of your King, study, seek, and knock and the door will be opened. He is the door and if you cannot hear His voice truth will evade you and also the Kingdom. The Bible on the surface is a parable, only Jesus can explain it’s depths through the Spirit. The mysteries of Jesus are the pearl you work to obtain, and you’re not allowed to share unless told otherwise. Jesus told people who had the bible memorized they didn’t know the scriptures. You cannot trust man, you cannot put faith in pastors, you cannot even trust your BIBLE as it is. The english version was translated by scribes and the warning was clear. Jesus main advice to us about these days was do not be deceived. 99% of your pastors, most unknowingly, are deceived. 100% are false teachers. What’s written about all being deceived but the elect is fulfilled. You must individually seek, I died and came back and there is life after the body dies. I was a Christian yet still found myself in a place I didn’t want to be. Even in death I recommend crying out to the Jesus. All those who cry upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered, apparently even in death He has this ability to restore.
Do you happen to know why Dan was excluded from the 144,000 in revelation while Solomon was spared for his idolatry?
@@TheStoicPath_ They went after strange flesh and gods to the point they breed themselves out somewhat, and worshiped the host of heaven. Tribe of Dan rules the world pretty much. They are snakes so you can see their trail as they rename what they take, LonDAn etc etc. European Royalty is the tribe of Dan and probably some other bloodlines. They took over England, Scotland, Ireland, but not just them. The antichrist will come out of DAN, serpent seed DNA.
Eleazar is my name
I feel grieved by most music and movies. It takes crushing to have an anointing. I won’t go to a place that forces MY worship. Touch not the Lord’s anointed!
Way to go! People need to know how much more this movie is than a “feel good flick…” this movie will make you cry before it ever makes you feel good. The cast is amazing and the subtle story arcs are very meaningful.
Most sound slow...weak...defeated ...no joy ...no victory....all sound the same
First time watcher, subbed. Very good! I do love the Bible and the breaking down of all the Words God has left for us. What a gift to explore, love and know HIS WORD!! ❤
@@yeahyeahyeah2935 Within Judaism itself, there are strong rabbinic critics of Solomon. He left the people deeply deeply taxed and the son he supposedly should have well prepared for the kingship was a terrible king who clearly didn’t care about the burdens he and his father had laid on the citizenship. Immense success like Solomon had early in his reign is a dangerous thing we should not envy in others, nor desire for ourselves.
No guitar solos is also a problem
Its very intersting thank u God bless u
Question: Why would you monetize your videos? I don't get how people do this straight faced when speaking the Word. Can you help me understand?
1 Timothy 5:17-18 [17] Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching. [18] For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain,” and, “The laborer deserves his wages.”
@@TheBibleisArt 😂. Ok now I get it. You don’t really believe the Bible. This is just entertainment to you. So, why exactly did Jesus use a whip to drive people out of the temple?
@@EldoradoTexas you asked why I have ads on, I give a verse. You don’t respond to the verse and accuse me of not believing the Bible. Do you think Christian’s books should be free? It costs money to write, edit, design, and print those. Similarly it takes time to write, cameras and lighting to record, software to edit, microphones for audio, etc.
So true. If i hear another song in 6/8, 70-80bpm, in Ionian/Major key, my head gonna explode

God is Love (or Charity) and God is Master. 1 John 4:8 “He that loveth not, knoweth not God: for God is charity.” Matthew 23:10 "Neither be ye called masters; for one is your master, Christ.” The Antichrist will call himself love and master. The word Maitreya literally means love. It can also mean master or teacher. In Hebrew, (Hebrew is written and read from right to left) Maitreya is written as Mem = 40, yod = 10, tau = 400, resh = 200, he = 5, yod = 10, aleph = 1, whose sum equals 666. There is a person by the name of Maitreya and this is the Antichrist although he may change his name once he comes to power. The mark of the beast will be a microchip placed in the hand of a person allowing the Antichrist and his agents to control the people. At the time directed by the agents of the Antichrist, they will summon the people who took the Mark of the Beast and force them to worship the Antichrist at services. By passing a light beam among those with the chip, it will excite the chip, and bring these people under a hypnotic state. These people will be drawn to worship the Antichrist as often as the agents desire. The people will follow the agent’s wishes to perform whatever they want.
