Yes Sir
Shut up! No one cares about how much you hate ancient Jews! Anti-semite shitbag
Utter total ignorant crap by someone who has only a cursory understanding of the Bible, biblical history and Jewish history. The people he's calling weasels are the Jewish people. The Jews of today are Pharasees. The Sadducees by the time he's talking are a cult of the Temple and they didn't survive the destruction for long, the residual legacy of these people was the early church in Rome. Paul, despite the weak attempt of the NT to say otherwise, was a saducee. Paul wrote half the NT and his prejudice and emnity for the pharasees as well as their later rejection of him, is reflected by the NT. And let's not forget that it was Paul who turned the stories of the anti-Roman Rabbi he never met into Jesus the Messiah in a form the pagan romans could accept
Good work.
That's an incredible way to explain it!🫨🙌
I'm really glad I don't believe in the sky man, you guys sound like total loons.
He is joking right?
Amen In Jesus’ Mighty and Holy Name!❤️🙏✝️
What a disingenuous representation of Arminian doctrine.
Yes! God gave us instructions on how to treat our brothers and sisters in the church. Thank you for this message.
It's been said that Calvinism is what happens when Arminians actually read the Bible. Truth.
Well thats just your point of view. Dont try and bring devision when we already have enough
We love our Arminian brothers and sisters , just see things differently and get to hash it out with love :)
"The problem with Tim Keller is he's a coward" - amazing talk and spot-on analysis. Such a wild and good message.
This reminds me of R.C. Sproul's "What's wrong with you people?!!" moment. Excellent.
Thank you!
Ajaran sesat ni.
No way my name is John Weis! I’m glad to see another john Weis who loves the lord
"as we struggle to do what we are made to do..."
Deeply disappointed with this message. Thought I was going to hear about Enoch walking with God and how important it is to walk with God. How to walk with God etc... The wicked have their lives cut short while the righteous are blessed with long life. That part was good. Maybe change the title of the video #FeelLikeIgotClickBated
For future reference, I often come up with the titles months before I write the sermons. Sometimes, they are deeply connected, sometimes not.
By the way, pastor Foster is also profoundly wrong about Deuteronomy 17:17. He is acting like it says "the king may not have more than one wife". That's not what the passage says. It says that the king is not to "multiply wives to himself". That's totally different. The verse right before this (Deut. 17:16) says exactly the same thing about horses that verse 17 says about wives. The king shall not "multiply horses to himself". To argue that verse 17 means "may only have one", we have to also argue that verse 16 also means "may only have one horse". Scripture interprets Scripture and this is the verse right next to 17, saying the same thing about horses (as wives). Is verse 16 really mandating "monoequestrianism"? Is it a sin for a man to have more than one horse? That's an obviously absurd argument. Obviously it isn't a sin to have more than one horse (and by logical extension one wife). Pastor Foster, and many others are reading this idea into the text based on their own prior presuppositions about polygamy being sinful. It's not there in the text. This is eisegesis on Foster's part. 1st Kings 15:5 tells us that King David did what was right in God's sight, and that he didn't turn aside from anything that God commanded, except in the master of Uriah. That includes the fact that David had multiple wives, multiple horses, and a lot of gold and silver. David obeyed Deuteronomy 17. Solomon on the other hand apparently violated Deuteronomy 17 with his excessive polygamy (1000 wives), foreign idolatrous wives, vast number of horses (including going to Egypt to get them), and mountains of gold and silver. Solomon fell into the consequences described in Dueteronomy 17, his heart fell away from the LORD. David remained faithful
Pastor Foster is badly wrong on the topic of polygamy in the Bible! Though it offends the feminist and egalitarian spirit of our age, the Bible very clearly treats polygyny as legitimate marriage. These are hard times, which call for hard Christian men to tell hard truths from the Bible! 1. The Bible has no law prohibiting a man from having more than one wife. Contrast that with adultery, incest, or homosexuality. Those are clearly and repeatedly prohibited. 2. The Bible calls polygyny "marriage", calls the man "husband" and the women "wives". The Bible does not call these people "adulterers" or "immoral". 3. The children of these unions are treated as legitimate. 4. The Bible regulates polygamy. The fact that it regulates it makes it clear that the Bible doesn't totally prohibit it. The Bible even seems to require polygyny under certain circumstances. 5. The Bible never calls polygamy (polygyny) "sinful", "unclean", "impure", "ungodly", "evil", or "defiling". The Bible does use that type of language when discussing adultery and other forms of sexual immorality. 6. The Bible never lists any punishment for polygamists, while simultaneously seriously punishing the sexually immoral and adulterers. 7. God blessed Jacob, in his polygamy, bidding him "be fruitful and multiply" (Genesis 35:11). This indicates that God viewed those relationships as legitimate. After all, God blessed monogamous Adam and Eve the same way. 8. God Himself said that He was simultaneously married to two different women, sisters, Samaria and Jerusalem in Ezekiel 23. Would He say something like that if polygyny was evil? 9. The parable of the wise and foolish virgins in Matthew 25 (representing the Kingdom of Heaven) seems to describe a polygamous situation, where the bridegroom (of five virgins) would represent the Lord Jesus Himself. The suggestion that these women were mere "bridesmaids" rather than "brides" is absurd. The text makes it clear that they are brides. 10. The Bible tells us that king "Joash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoida the priest. And Jehoiada took for him two wives" (2nd Chronicles 23:2-3). Having two wives is included in what was called "that which was right in the sight of the LORD"! 11. In 1st Corinthians 11:3, the relationship between Christ and His individual followers is compable to polygamy. Christ is the Head of every man (many particular believers individually united to Him), as the husband is the head of the wife, and God the Father the Head of Christ. 12. Moses, the author of Genesis, and the meekest man on the face of the earth (Numbers 12) had two wives, Zipporah of Midian, and a second wife that was a Cushite. 13. King Josiah had at least two wives, and also "did that which was right in the sight of the LORD" (2 Kings 22:2). "And like unto him there was no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses;..." (2nd Kings 23:25). 14. King David had at least 17 wives. 2nd Samuel chapter 12 obviously treats David's polygamy as legitimate, while also rebuking David severely for taking another man's wife (that is actually what the Bible calls adultery). The whole parable of the rich man with many sheep (David with many wives), and the poor man with one ewe lamb (Uriah with one wife Bathsheba) simply assumes the general legitimacy of polygyny. God has no problem with the rich man being rich (or David having multiple wives). He has a problem with him stealing from the other man (David's adultery and subsequent murder of Uriah). In 2nd Samuel 12:8, God said that He gave multiple wives into David's "busom", and that He would have gladly given him even more (wives, houses, lands) if he had wanted more. Contrary to what pastor Foster said, those were real marriages. The women were given "into his busom" (KJV) or "into his arms" (ESV) not merely "into his care" as the NASB incorrectly translates it. Look up the Hebrew word. It refers to an intimate relationship. The exact same Hebrew word is used in verse three where the man in the parable (Uriah) has the ewe lamb (Bathsheba) sleeping in his busom. David had these women (former wives of Saul) the same way that Uriah had Bathsheba. They really were his wives. The same Hebrew world is used of Hagar (in Abraham's busom) in Genesis, and she conceived Ishmael. God Himself gave multiple wives to His servant David! Who are we to oppose YAHWEH? We have God's assessment of David's life in 1st Kings 15:5. There, we are told that "David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that He commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite". The other ten plus marriages God called "right" and "not turning aside". David was polygamous for decades. We never see him repenting of it. Nonetheless, God looks at David's life and says he did right (except in the matter of the adultery with Uriah's wife and subsequent murder). There is no escape pastor Foster. You cannot cling to both the God of the Bible, and the modern egalitarian feminist vision of marriage. No one can serve two masters. Will we accuse God Himself of sinning? Will we raise our cultural tradition (egalitarian monogamy) over the clear teaching of the Bible?
The fact that the Bible treats polygamy as legitimate marriage doesn't mean that any particular man should do it. I believe monogamy is the normal pattern, applicable to most (roughly equal number of males and females in the world). Furthermore, carnally minded men seeking multiple (or even one) wives would be an absolute disaster. Some polygynous households are an absolute horror! Some monogamous ones are too! Marriage (monogamous and polygynous) is about God and His people, Christ and the redeemed saints! Marriage should be Christocentric and Patriarchal! Only the Christocentric man will be a proper patriarch. The man who loves Christ more than everything is able properly love one woman, (or more than one woman). The woman who loves Christ above all else is also able to share Christ and also the provision, leadership, love, and protection of her husband with a Christian sister who needs a husband.
Hi, polygamy didn't only exist in the darkest corners of society. It was through polygamous men that the Saviour came. And the Father isn't embarrassed by the genealogy of the Son, since He NEVER speaks against polygyny.
The Savior also came through the genealogy of Rahab the prostitute. Are we now saying prostitution is a good thing?
she didn't continue to be a prostitute. Abraham, Jacob, David, etc , all continued in polygyny. So polygyny cannot be sin! Start reading your Bible and see what is actually written.
@@stevebearsley1472 because you can’t just repent of polygamy. An unjust divorce doesn’t undo the evil of polygamy. But it was evil to enter in the first place.
@@Fivesolas777The Bible never calls polygamy "evil", "sinful", "immoral", or "unclean". The Bible calls it marriage, and that is what it is. May the Lord gently yet firmly correct you for adding to His Law! You are persisting in your error, and that is a serious problem. You seem to be making an idol of monogamy (others might also make an idol of women or their own desires via polygamy). We must not do that. We must worship God alone! God treats polygamy as legitimate. God blessed Jacob/Israel (who had four wives at the time) bidding him "be fruitful and multiply" (Genesis 35:11). That is the same blessing that God gave Adam and Eve at creation! Jacob's four unions were lawful like the union between Adam and Eve. How dare you call evil something which God blessed! All of Jacob's sons were legitimate! Joseph, Benjamin (sons of 2nd wife Rachel), Dan and Naphtali (sons of Bilhah), Gad and Asher (sons of Zilpah) were not bastards! They are half the house of Israel!
@@Fivesolas777 What! A sinner can repent of any sin. You haven't given me the reference for the command from God saying a man cannot have more than one wife! Give me the reference or give up your campaign against the truth of Scripture. Change your beliefs to line up with the word of God.
Wow.. this guy needs to do some study regarding the issue of polygyny in the Bible. After spending 15 years studying this issue from a Biblical point of view, it is my studied opinion that this guy has not spent any time studying that issue in the Bible. He just repeats what he has been told, by people who repeated what they were told, but not one has actually studied the issue.
Sounds similar to what you said and your lies about the Hebrew and Greek in Mike Winger’s video….
@@Fivesolas777 I think that has to do with it being true in both cases. It's frustrating when normally solid teachers like Foster or Winger repeat the erroneous talking points of the gynocentric "Big Eva" religious industrial complex rather than carefully studying and teaching from God's Word on the topic of polygamy. The Bible clearly, uniformly, and undeniably treats polygyny as legitimate marriage, not as adultery or sexual immorality. The Bible is Theocentric, and Christocentric, not gynocentric, androcentric, or egalitarian. Everything was made by and for Christ (Colossians)! Everything is about Him! He must and will have the supremacy in all things. Marriage (monogamous and polygynous) is about God and His people, Christ and the saints that He has redeemed. Both monogamous and polygamous marriage are meant to, and can reflect the glory of Christ. Both can also fail to reflect His glory due to the sinful actions of fallen men and women. Monogamous marriage seems meant to reflect the beauty and glory of the union between Christ and the universal church. Polygynous marriage then seems to reflect the beauty and glory of the One-to-one union between Christ and each individual believer. Make no mistake. Polygamy is there in the text. 1st Corinthians 11:3 "But I would have you know that the Head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the Head of Christ is God". What a husband is to a wife, "the head", Christ is to each individual Christian man, "the Head". I have a one to one relationship with Jesus. You have a one to one relationship with Jesus. Pastor Foster has a one to one relationship with Jesus. Millions of others do as well, and I cannot be jealous of them. Christ is that wonderful! He can fully satisfy every one of us! We are each individually made "one spirit" with Jesus, and each is a separate union. In the same way the Bible tells us that Jacob was united to Leah. Jacob was also separately united to Rachel. He was also separately united to Bilhah, and Zilapah. The same is true of Moses, who was separately united to both Zipporah the Midianite, and his later Cushite (black African) wife. The same is true of David. He was united to Michal. He was also united to Abigail, Ahinoam, etc. The same is true of YAHWEH in the book of Ezekiel. He was united to both Israel/Samaria, and Judah/Jerusalem. The same is true of the bridegroom in Christ's parable of the ten virgins representing the Kingdom of Heaven in Matthew 22. The bridegroom obviously represents the Lord Jesus Himself. The five wise virgins "went in with Him to the marriage". It's not rocket science. It's really pretty obvious. It's simply contrary to our cultural and religious traditions. You call yourself "five solas", and it is time to apply "sola scriptura". The reformed are always willing to have the Word of God change their beliefs.
@@Fivesolas777 so mike winger is the determiner of what is correct or wrong? He was so wrong on so many points that it is almost unbelievable that he has any training in Bible exegesis. But then again.. his training was from a specific church doctrine in an unaccredited school. So he is actually just arguing what his church teaches and not what the Bible teaches.
Could Mr. Foster please explain how Jabal was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock and how his brother, Jubal, was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe? Exactly how did that happen?
When I read the account of Lamech it sounds like self defense. Not child killer.
People assume that it was murder because Lamech was a "nasty polygamist". People also assume that polygamy is wrong because Lamech the "nasty murderer" is the first man in history known to practice it. This is called circular reasoning, eisegesis, and reading your presuppositions into the text. I really hate to see generally solid teachers like pastor Foster here falling into such obvious error.
Good sermon
The common sense here is almost mind blowing to listen to coming from the pulpit. What can we do to help this Boniface come to Dallas. The southern passive aggressivity spoken of here could certainly use a ginormous dose of this basic biblical application week to week. We need this everywhere. How can we participate as lay folks to get Dallas on the map? The future map? Godspeed y’all. Thank you.
Actually There’s a sound argument that all religious people shares similar characteristics and traits of schizophrenia . Religious people often hold beliefs in supernatural entities, hear voices in prayer or meditation, and experience visions or miracles & phenomena that, outside a religious context are considered delusional or hallucinatory. Furthermore, these beliefs often persist despite a lack of empirical evidence, suggesting a cognitive dissonance similar to that seen in schizophrenic delusions. From this perspective, one could argue that religious adherence involves a form of collective, socially sanctioned schizophrenia, where the mind constructs an alternative reality that is accepted by a group rather than recognized as an individual disorder.
Administrate the sacraments, unless they are children, since they might not really belong to God. 🤦
🤣🤣🤣 this is a good skit. The answer you were expecting was “because of the fairy tale of god”? 🤣🤣🤣
That is accurate also their convince before questions are ask😊
I have a question I’m not trying to be disrespectful but I’m genuinely curious and confused I’m not Christian but I have a lot of friends who are and I have read the Bible and what I have been taught from that is that god created everything and everyone and loves them and god is love but if he is why would he create a group of people specifically to cast them out not love them and say they would be going to hell. (Could someone please respectfully explain)
>>>>>why would he create a group of people specifically to cast them out<<<<< God created humans . They sinned in the Garden of Eden . The Bible says "for all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God ." Everyone { every person on Earth } was separated from the Love and Fellowship of God by their sin {which they inherited from Adam and Eve} . Jesus Christ paid the penalty for that sin . You have heard John 3;16 ". . . . whosoever believeth . . ." Belief is an active verb .
One of my favorite sections of Scripture, along with Colossians 1:15-20, Psalm 2 and Psalm 110. Praise the Lord!
Sorry but this is not a good argument. They are real people in the world suffering from the moment they are born how is that good. But I do like how he says that something bad is not necessarily bad. Because of the butterfly effect any bad thing or good thing can unravel into something else. But saying that everything that happens in the world is good for something is just just not true. And by the logic that the Bible brings god loves everyone so why does he let people suffer.
The Prisoner episode where Patrick McGoohan (#6) asks the computer a question and the computer ends up exploding and melting down because it was asked a question that it couldn't answer (the whole premise was that this computer could answer any question ever put to it by anyone)....what was the question? "Why?"
I wonder if the pastor would concede there is a difference between desire and attraction. I might feel attracted to another man's wife, but I don't desire her. A christian man may feel sexually attracted to other men, but he does not desire them with his will, i.e. the attractions are unwanted and intrusive, he does not consent to them. Many will conflate desire and attraction, and not make the distinction I'm making here.
Thanks
Can you start linking the full sermons to this shorts please.
Where is the full sermon?
Soul food.
There's a reason most of this isn't in the Bible.
Amen brother. Love you guys.
I think those 3 questions are crucial for adults too
This is a Bob free church!?
Awesome
This is definitely something where the person does not understand and as Christian’s they need the full truth told to them so they don’t go on with their homosexual desires.
Wonderful
I have been griping at missionaries for years for neglecting our own communities. And its a big reason why it has become difficult to find a church that can actually help a person grow. I am now looking at Batavia which is an hour away. A good pastor is important to me and i see KY churches in a major crisis in that regard. Toi many young pastors who have no gift of insight or enough love for Truth to avoid falling into their own Pride on a pedestal.
