How to Apply God's Word To Your Own Life Personally. Zuck ch.12
God did not just give the Bible so that we could say "yes, aha, I agree". No! The Bible is God's Word given so that we may stop the way we live and start living the way God intends. Whenever we read a portion of Scripture we need to ask the question: "What does God want me to change?"
In this video Dr. Roy B Zuck provides practical steps to help us make the Bible practical in our own lives.

How To Uphold Your Authority In The Home As A Husband // Sermon Clip
Thank you very much brother. Brief and good explanation.
Thank you for the information ❣️🇵🇷
Good job.
I didn’t realize this was pride. I lost my investment properties and my successful lifestyle. That’s all I keep thinking about is how I could do such a thing, but I actually think God took it away because I was sinning.
Where can i find information on the Pharisaic permission to have differing halachically binding rulings of conduct among the Pharisees (some Pharisees think that, some think that)? Thanks!
The Golden rule and the verse about loving your neighbor are not an injunction to be nice to everyone. Love may not look like what you thought it would at times in life. For instance do you want your wife or your neighbor to wait on you hand and foot 24/7? Yes it would be nice for a few days but after a week or maybe two you would be so sick of this coddling. Often what is missed in a relationship is a challenge challenging your neighbor or your wife to do better and vice versa. Pulling another up on their bad behavior that is love. It's uncomfortable love but its necessary love. And as far as loving yourself first I don't think this is good advice at all. This can be self-centered and not self-centered in a good way. If I'm not feeling so loving towards myself and I'm in a low place in my life the best thing I can do is figure out how to help and love someone else. Simply by doing this I create some self-esteem and I become worthy of self-love. I did enjoy your video, I've just thought about these things for a long time and this is where I'm at with it. Thanks for allowing me to share my thoughts. 💕
The original great Sanhedrin- were PHARISEES (Phraoh) Persians Aryans from NOAH->JAPHETH->MADAI(MEDES) & his non Semitic NEPHEW ->NOAH->Japheth->Gomer->ASHKENAZ- Who created Judaism and compiled TORAH from Plagiarised ANCIENT SOURCES 👺✨👿 SANHEDRIN means Council of 70 +1(Moses) they were al non semite Aryan Persian criminals .control freaks
Praise God for he brings out his children glorious out of every kind of trials! I therefore bind to hell every desire for self-pity while binding one to desire to know all good will come to one when seeking the rigtheousness of God first in my life, the lives of my family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquitances, opponents, the children I teach and the body of Christ, binding to hell every unequal yoke and common share with anyone lacking desire to know all good will come to one when seeking the rigtheousness of God first, binding to hell every unequal yoke and common share with anyone lacking desire to know all good will come to one when seeking the rigtheousness of God first while desiring to drown in self-pity, in accordance with this word matthew 6:33, 1 thessalonians 5:18, exodus 16:3, romans 8:17-19, 2 corinthians 6:14-18 in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah, glory to God ❤.
Yeah God sound like a really shity character
Enjoyed!!!
I truly enjoyed this breakdown on the Pharisees.
Love this video! I personally don't agree with physical whipping and never will. It typically becomes abuse as most humans do it out of anger and go too far. People many times will beat their kids for imitating behaviors they've picked up from the parents but the parents never change their own behaviors so it becomes a cycle. Parents are human too just as our kids are and will eventually fall into their anger or frustration more times than not. I've lived it. Because we're prone to sin this is one behavior I will flee from lest I become like my own mom. Yelling is bad enough and I'm battling that heavily. I don't want to go backwards. But, I thank you for sharing a more proper way to do it. Many could benefit from this if they are going to partake in that behavior.
#### One Gospel: Gospel (GOOD ANGEL) of Reconciliation. Jesus Christ came into THEIR kingdom to reconcile fallen angels unto Himself. We are the fallen angels (ELOHIM) kept in DNA chains of darkness. If you do not confess being a fallen angel in Lucifer's kingdom, then you are an unbeliever. Unbeliever = those that claim to be made in the image of ELOHIM(gods). REPENT FALLEN ANGELS.
Exceptionally good presentation.

Excellent review of Zuck
Great summary! Thank you I will be referencing this as I read this book…
Lord where are you?
Keep praying ❤
Prophets often felt this way. Maybe the weight of spiritual warfare?
Great video. One thing you missed is that around 30 AD the Great Sanhedrin moved from the temple to the stores around the temple. They also never heard a capital case again. It has been suggested that since Yeshua identified as a Pharisee the other groups of Pharisees pushed back and demanded justice. This may have gotten the Sanhedrin Hagadol kicked out of the temple. This information about the Sanhedrin being removed from the temple can be found in the tractate in the Talmud entitled Sanhedrin. That tractate also catalogs their rules for gathering and holding trials. They broke their own rules to put Yeshua on trial. This was probably more because of the Sadducees rather than the Pharisees.
Another good presentation! Well done. I find it fascinating how the Old Testament principles resonate throughout the New Testament!
were?
Very helpful 👌. Thank you so much.
Very blessed by your words of wisdom. Do you have a website?
Jesus avoid pharises because he didn’t have respect for the Torah, HaShem and pharises. He constantly sinned of Lashon Hara, lied and didn’t respect Sabbath. A shame. The “hard heart” is the one of the guy kicking the guys outside the Temple. Nobody “hated”, he hated everyone. You’re lying.
Thank you so much! Very helpful
Was the citation of Amos 5:26 in Acts 7:43, which made a general reference more specific, possible because of the oral tradition? Does this mean that the oral tradition was/is of real value?
Thank you so much my brother for all your videos in your channel, they are helping me so much in my journey of studying the Word of God. God bless you more and the work of your hands. Do you have other channel that I can follow also?
Very well done video sir.
Preaching unbelief you should be proud of your faith God still does miracles. REPENT
Very useful and enjoyable video
The best explanation yet🎉
One thing about the heart that I understand is that, the heart an aspect of the mind, since the mind is a part of our soul. For example... A scripture in Proverbs says whatever a man thinketh in his heart so is he. You right when say Jesus Christ was teaching us that we must love God with everything we have. So when we read, we must read the Biblical Text completely, for full understanding.
Well, here is a book written by a saint on the subject - “Spirit, Soul, Body” by Saint Luke of Simferopol (or Crimea). You can find it online.
I have wondered about this as I've listened to theologians and philosophers talk about scripture. Which view is correct, the two or three part? But I have come to believe that the passages that describe these components are typically aimed at emphasizing the whole person must be devoted to God. I think they probably adjusted the way this wholeness was expressed based on the audience that was hearing them. An old testament version of the Shema is addressing a Mosaic generation that was influenced by Egyptian thought. Jesus' account of the greatest commandment is coming at a time where a lot of Judea was influenced by Greek and Roman culture. I agree a dichotomous view seems more consistently defendable. And even studying the Greek words soma, pneuma, sarx, nous etc doesn't reveal a consistent use of 3-part or 2-part humanity.
Is it possible to get people to value truth? * truth is the set of facts about reality * it's only reliably known by detections of reality called "evidence" * we don't have evidence of a soul or spirit * we do have evidence the body exists, and what we've seen seems to fully explain human capability * so if we value truth, we have no reason to believe in either a soul or spirit. We appear to just be bodies. If someone tells you they know of more than just the body and they aren't pointing to strong evidence documenting observations of reality indicating they know what they know...then they're simply spreading a falsehood.
I agree with you sir. All flesh made on the fifth and sixth days are made of two parts: body and spirit or body and soul or body and breath or flesh and the breath of life. Genesis 2:7 KJV And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 6:17 KJV And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. Genesis 7:15 KJV And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. Some translations may say “spirit of life.” Brown-Driver-Briggs' Definition soul, self, life, creature, person, appetite, mind, living being, desire, emotion, passion that which breathes, the breathing substance or being, soul, the inner being of man a. living being b. living being (with life in the blood) c. the man himself, self, person or individual d. seat of the appetites e. seat of emotions and passions f. activity of mind So even the animals that fly, swim, crawl, creep, hop or walk on for legs are “living souls” or things that breathe and move. They are “nephesh.” God has given his life giving breath to things to move. Job 12:10 KJVS In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. Job 27:3 KJVS All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; Job 33:4 KJVS The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. Man is a breathing thing because God has shared his breath of life. Job 34:14-15 KJVS If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; [15] All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust. The two different words “ruach” and “neshâmâh.” The first as an indefinite breath or wind of a living being or breath belonging to someone and the second term is spirit or breath of creature ultimately belongs to God. Psalm 104:29-30 KJVS Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. [30] Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. Here we see a repetition of the theme that God is a life giving spirit. He gives something of himself so that he has moving creatures that breathe. His creatures are made of “dust” that have “breath.” Elsewhere we read that the difference between the first Adam and the last Adam is the first was a “living soul” and the last is the “quickening spirit.” See the parallelism in 1 Corinthians 15:45: “living” vs “quickening” and “soul” vs “spirit.” The 1828 Webster’s Dictionary says, “QUICKEN, v.t. quik'n. 1. Primarily, to make alive; to vivify; to revive or resuscitate, as from death or an inanimate state. Rom 4. Hence flocks and herds, and men and beasts and fowls, with breath are quicken'd and attract their souls. 2. To make alive in a spiritual sense; to communicate a principle of grace to. You hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins. Eph 2.” The first soul on earth was made to have the breath of life. Sin came into the world through disobedience of this living soul. God gave his only begotten Son who was a “being in the form of God” obeying his Father and “took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men.” Here Jesus is the only soul who has two natures. He has the nature of God and the nature of men. He is the only being apart from his Father who can give life because he too is divine. God made Adam and thus all men to have two main parts: a being of dust and the breath of life. Later God prepared a human body for his Son who gives life. God raised his Son the Christ from the grave. “Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father” Romans 6:4 NLT and this glory was “The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.” Romans 8:11 NLT. This same spirit, breath, power and glory he gave as a down deposit upon the disciples after his resurrection and before God raised him to sit at his hand. John 20:21-22 NLT Again he said, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you." [22] Then he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. Take note of the word “emphusaō” for the “breathed on” expression. Thayer's Definition: to blow or breathe upon The Greek word here used is employed nowhere else in the New Testament, but is the very one used by the Septuagint translators of Gen 2:7: 'And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.' There, man's original creation was completed by this act of God; who, then, can fail to see that here in John 20, on the day of the Saviour's resurrection, the new creation had begun, begun by the Head of the new creation, the last Adam acting as 'a quickening spirit' (1Cr 15:45)!" (Arthur W. Pink, Exposition of the Gospel of John, p. 1100).
God created man (Body) from the dust of the ground and breathed into him the breath of life (Spirit) and man became a living (Soul) Spirit should have control over soul and body but since the fall, soul has control since our spirit is dead in sin Good book to read is 'The Spiritual Man by Watchman Nee'
What’s the difference between soul and mind?
Soul = mind + emotions + your will = your psychological being
Body, Soul (Mind), and Spirit (Nous). Soul and Spirit remain after death is what I've always been taught. Interesting video. Thank you.
Hebrews 4:12 King James Version (KJV) For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
I still don't get it why this matters. "To avoid confusion" is not it for me. What are the consequences of thinking it's 3 instead of 2 or vice-versa? I wish you gave some examples of a theological idea built on top of this concept, and why it's important to really understand the difference
Hi Mateus. First, let me say that not everyone who holds a trichotomist view have weird ideas. But here are some I’ve heard from false teachers: 1. Your “spirit” is of the same “stuff” as God, since God is Spirit. Therefore you have deity inside of you. 2. Your spirit as a Christian has the ability to influence your body. If you are sick, your soul can “tap” into your spirit and access resurrection power to be healed. Therefore, the only reason why you are sick is because you don’t know how to access the resources of your spirit. 3. When you are saved, your “spirit” becomes the “Spirit of Christ.” So the Holy Spirit and your spirit is now one. All of these are heretical, but just by knowing the Bible uses the terms interchangeably protects someone from views like these. I hope this is helpful?
@BooksOfTheWise 1 and 2 are absurd. Number 3, in terms of being one spirit with the Spirit of God is Biblically correct. In the Bible, a man and wife join together to become one flesh. Yet 1 Corinthians 6:17 show us that we are joined to the Lord and become one spirit. Not one flesh, not one soul, but one spirit. Furthermore 1 Corinthians 3:16 shows us that we are the temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in us. Romans 8:16 shows that the Spirit witnesses with our spirit. Romans 8:11 also shows the Spirit dwells in us. Put them all together, we become one spirit with the Spirit that dwells in us. If I'm not misunderstanding your presentation of #3. To deny that we have a spirit and that spirit become one with the Spirit of God, who dwells in us, is to remove the unique distinction of the Christian faith from every other religion. This is literally why Jesus Himself said true worship is in spirit. Without this relationship in the spirit, there is no need for Jesus to come and die because He came and died to release the Spirit that indwells us. If God just wanted to declare new laws, he would have written another scroll on a mountain and tossed it out to a prophet. God doesn't act without purpose or wontonly.
It matters to know that we are body, soul, and spirit because I believe Hebrews show that their is a distinction of the soul from the spirit. The soul cannot defeat the enemy, the Spirit can. In Romans 7, the will to do good is in our soul, but the law of sin over powers it. In Romans 8, the law of the Spirit in our spirit rescues us from the law of sin and death. Also, it is in our spirit that the Spirt witness that we are Children of God. Furthermore God is 3 in 1 and so is man. We are God's image afterral. If you look at it mathematically, the part of God that intersects with man, is the Spirit. So Father, Son, and Spirit for God and body, soul, and spirit for man. Being saved is not just a matter of feeling good, it is a matter of this relationship in spirit and the change that has occurred there. We are children of God because of the relationship in the spirit. If that wasn't the case, then to be a Christian will just be another religion where you're using your best abilities to keep rules and laws. There is more to this why...but it will take alot of time to expound on it.
In Luke 1:46-47 I understand the modern interpretation of the interchangeability of the words soul and spirit; however the words in the original text as well. So I believe it is safe to assume the first line of Christian’s whom wrote the Greek manuscripts understood that the soul and spirit are different. They use the words Psyche(mind/spirit) and Pneuma(soul)
Sadly you are wrong. It’s clearly 3 throughout the Bible.
Way strawman of the trichotomous view. I was interested to see what you have to say, but you assumptions on the trichotomous view are extremely wrong, and this leads to all your conclusions also being wrong. I don't mean to be unduly critical, but the trichomous view is usually taught in a simplified format. If one is interested in nuance, one has to explore the matter much more deeply. I have my own studies on the matter that I am willing to share. (Though my study on the spirit is still a work in progress, and in my study on the soul I do not particularly delve into the cartesian model.) I guess my big issues with the two-fold model (some of which also applies to the monistic model) are 1. They do not give proper exposition on the differentiations in 1 Thess 5 and Heb 4. Neither did yours btw. 2. They are by and large based on sympathetic parallelism in the Psalms and Proverbs between soul and spirit, which no one denies. They however ignore the use of parallelism juxtaposing and associating soul and body, our spirit and body, or heart and soul, or heart and mind. Why does the use of parallelism mean 'much of a muchness" in one context, and then suddenly in all these other contexts it does not mean that the faculties are the same, just that they are related? 3. Why does the Bible's use of language applied to soul, spirit, and the other faculties such as heart and mind remain so very consistent and different from one another? Why would the Bible waste words, and why would our common everyday language waste words if everything is just the same? 4. Yes there are degrees of overlap between soul and spirit. As are there between soul and body - they are both conscious. As are there between heart and mind and every faculty between them. If one throws them into a common soup of figurative language, so much of the Bible just stands to lose meaning. This is much worse irt to the monistic / integrationalist model, but the dualistic model does not fare much better. Your definitions of soul, spirit and body could also all do with some significant tweaking and correction.
Thank you for the thought provoking comment. I really value comments like these. How would you define each part under the trichotomist view? I would love to not “straw-man” anyone’s view.
There 2 substances. Matter and spirit. Soul arises from the incarnation of spirit as an epiphenomenon. Think about glossolalia in 1 Cor. 14
In my case 3. Overall though- as ONE.
