Why We Must Remember
Life seems to be moving so fast. Things that happened just a month ago seem like old news. Instead of getting caught up in the hamster wheel of the latest thing, we do well to remember where we came from, how we got here, and what God has done for us.

    I landed on your video following my desire to learn who these Pharisees where since they are mentioned a lot in the Gospels. Surely I have not been disappointed at all and your work has been so descriptive and educative. My biggest insight was to learn that the Pharisees invented the oral laws trying to explain God's law for good courses but unfortunately ended up getting very far from God. It got me thinking a lot about our desire to know God and follow His commands as Christians, we should be so careful to avoid over righteousness and the mistakes of the Pharisees and try to modal the life and person of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Thank you Stephen.

    It is also they way Jesus preached, the red letter in the Gospel are Essene teachings. More known to the eastern ways, wich Jesus also studied and then brought over to the Christians belief. But sadly the Romans werent a fan of, so they tried to destroy that info reaching the masses. But i absolutely recommend people to read the Dead Sea Scrolls. Read up on Philo of Alexandria. I promise that you would read and understand the Bible in a whole new way. Peace be with you!

    Great video! I always imagine His story is Jesus' story. From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands. - Acts 17: 26 You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me, -John 5: 39 God bless you.

  • @African1939
    @African1939 Місяць тому

    Here is what our Savior stated about the Pharisees. “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.” - John 8:44. Just as Genesis 3:15 indicates, Satan the devil has both visible and invisible 'seed' or members of his family. Let us not deceive ourselves. The religious leaders all over the world today are exactly like these Pharisees - the 'seed of Satan'. Beware. Shalom.

  • @African1939
    @African1939 Місяць тому

    I might add that the Pharisees not only added to the Word of God, they elevated their additions above the Word of God. The same thing is seen to this day in the halls of organized religions - Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Men of influence within these religious organizations make up their own interpretations of the Law of God and forbid others to use exercise their God-given conscience. As for popular support of the people in the days of the Messiah, the Pharisees were more feared than revered. The NT contains many references that highlight the great power the Pharisees had over the Judean people as well as the Roman governors, appointed by Rome. Christianity today, like the Pharisees of yesterday, ignore the more weighty commands of God. For example, Christians came to America and invaded, waged war and attempted genocide upon the native population of this land. Yet, to this day, these same Christians are not willing to repent and repair the damage done to these and many other peoples all over the world. The day of God's judgment has arrived upon America and all other kingdoms of the world, but due to the deception of Satan, the world is totally unaware of their danger. Finally, our loving Heavenly Father does promise to allow the Gentiles to get to know Him and His Holy Name - Jehovah. Shalom.

    I would've thought the first passage regarding other gods would have been Genesis, when it says god says they man has became like us. There also used to be the gnostic Christianity that I've been learning a bit more about, where there are other beings that a considered to be "gods." That the creator of the universe and the creator of the planets aren't the same. There were also some early Christians that didn't think that the god of the old testament was the same spiritual being of the new testament.

    _FIRST OF ALL PEOPLE FAIL TO ACCOUNT that the hasmonian replaced the original alphabet and replaced all the original torah written with the old txt.

They actually ended the david line. Replaced the temple priestly levite/zadoks line with the hellenist council sanhedrin (pharisees, saducees, etc, etc).... and Replaced all the torah written in the original text.... etc etc.... *UNLIKE TODAY, THAT EVERY HOME HAVE A BIBLE... THE REPOSITORY OF TORAH WERE AT THE TEMPLE AND SYNAGOGUE ONLY.. SO BURN AND DESTROY THOSE COPIES... WITH A REVOLUTION, REPLACEMENT AND ALL SORTS OF INVASION THAT WENT ON, YOULL HAVE A LOT MORE LIMITED COPIES* .... And exactly why Jesus showed aversion towards the pharisee, scribes, etc...

The Talmud has poisened the hearts and minds of the Jewish people. They are openly commiting genocide. How is it Gods people are so blind they do not recognize the evil they are comitting?
