@ChristOverAllJeremy thank you for this relevant content. Does Sam have teachings on the destined role of Judas? Judas is rightly seen as the contrast to Peter regarding repentance. But he had to betray Jesus or there would be no crucifixion, was he not chosen or predestined for this role? If it wasn't him, would there not have been someone else, as Scripture makes it clear that the Lamb of God had to be betrayed then crucified for the sins of the world?
who are those nine legendary imposters of the world? anybody can guess? this nine person created one unwanted religion. this religion got popularity in the pagan Europe and other pagan western countries.
some thoughts on Judas I made on a video with Bart Ehrman some years ago: With regard to contradictions in the Bible Bart Ehrman has presented on various occasions the case of Judas Iscariot. He considers the two different accounts, in Matthew 27 and in Acts 1 as incompatible. He is right I suppose, but he overlooks something important. I have responded in different ways, but there is some confusion. To clarify, I want to evaluate my thoughts and rewrite my comment in a more subtle way. The two accounts indeed seem very weird, it is plausible to reject them as incompatible. So there must be something else going on rather than a hanging or another accident in which Judas burst open and his guts came out. To argue that Judas did not strangle himself, but is still alive when Jesus appeared to the twelve disciples, I would like to mention nine points. This is also an attempt to rehabilitate Juda(s), the Jew. 1 John 20:24 says: now Thomas one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. Jesus appeared to eleven disciples, so including Judas, since he is only replaced after the Ascension. There is a problem with the grammar when you take 'the twelve' as a technical term. Please read carefully, the pronomen personel 'them' refers directly to ‘the twelve.’ The pronoun cannot refer to a situation in the past. 2 1 Corinthians 15:5 says: …and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. When Paul writes about the appearance of Jesus, he writes about the situation before the Ascension, so before the replacement of Judas by Matthias which happened after the Ascension. And then there were twelve disciples, Judas including. So it's not the question that Judas is replaced, but that he didn't hang himself. 3 The translation ’hanged himself’ is reasonable but disputable. The Greek απάγχω, composition of από and άγχω means literally squeeze (esp. the throat), strangle, throttle and is also used in derivative or metaphorical meanings as choked with anger, of pressing creditors, of a guilty conscience etc. In Matthew 27:5 απήγξατο appears as 3rd sg. Aoristus Medium and can therefore be translated as strangled or hanged himself. But as I said, a derivative meaning is obvious and more plausible. Therefore I propose the following translation: And hurling the pieces of silver in the sanctuary he left; and after he went off, he got very scared. Interestingly, the Dutch Statenvertaling, which is considered one of the most accurate translations in existence, translates with 'verworgde zichzelf.' It places the reflexive pronoun 'zichzelf' in italics, meaning that this word is not in the text, but has been added as a clarification. This is a textbook example of precise translation. In fact, it then says that his throat was constricted. So it doesn't say that he squeezes his throat himself. A derivative or metaphorical meaning is more likely in that case. The only English translation I know that lists the reflexive pronoun in italics is the Disciples' Literal New Testament (DLNT): And having thrown the silver-coins into the temple, he departed. And having gone away, he hanged himself. So again, this translation is not that literal as to get rid of the hanging. 4 After the Ascension the disciples assembled again to replace Judas. I consider the translation of Acts 1:18 to be very disputable. Only if we assume that Judas has hanged himself and felt, the translation is conceivable. First I would like to mention the passage in the King James Bible: Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out. Let ‘s focus on the second part of verse 18: καί πρηνής γενόμενος έλάκησεν μέσος καί έξεχύθη πάντα τά σπλάχνα αύτού The word translated as headlong, πρηνής can mean: with the head foremost, but the first meaning of πρηνής (nom. sg.) is: with the face downwards, bended or lying on ones stomach. By the way, the word 'prone' is still used in English in the meaning of 'prone position.' It means: to lie on the stomach. Derived meanings are: susceptible, amenable, receptive, open minded, open for suggestions and even vulnerable. Nota bene: the word falling is not in the Greek text, γενόμενος (nom. sg. part. Aoristus of the verb γίγνομαι) means: come into being, take place. People have in their mind, Judas has hanged, so he has to fall. That is what we call prejudice. If we look at the text with an open mind, we will translate differently. I propose: (being) with his face turned to the ground; or shortly: stooped or knelt. To support my argument I mention the way in which the Vulgate reconciled the two reports. The Vulgate translates Acts 1:18 as following: …et hic quidem possedit agrum de mercede iniquitatis et suspensus crepuit medius et diffusa sunt omnia viscera eius (…. he hanged, burst in the midst and his viscera gushed out). The Wycliffe Bible remains the same. But these translations are plainly wrong. Does the Roman church want Judas to hang? Subsequent (protestant) translations, as the King James Version, changed the text in the falling headlong. The word translated as burst, έλακησεν (3rd. sg. Aoristus of the verb λάσκω, λακάω or ληκέω) means: ring, rattle, crack or burst (especially of things) and scream, shout or cry aloud (especially of animals or human beings). (1) That his bowels gushed out is a way of saying, to express a deep sort of compassion or affection. In Hebrew it is referred to as rechamim. In particular it is used to mention God's mercy. The Dutch language has a great word for it, namely: barmhartigheid. Σπλάχνα is been used at several places in the New Testament: 1 John 3:17; 2 Cor. 6:12, 7:15; Col. 3:12; Philemon: 7, 12, 20; Philippians 1:8, 2:1, Luke 1:78. To mention only Luke: Through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us. If it is metaphorically translated in those places, it is likely to do this here as well. To conclude, I suggest the following translation: Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity, when he knelt down, he screamed with great compassion.
I drive 600 miles a night. My shift is about 12 hours. For the last 2 weeks I have been listening to Sam for 6 of those 12 hours a night . I found Sam by chance and for the 2 weeks I have learned more about the Bible and Jesus than I ever have in my life. This is awesome.
Man, this video wrecked me. No one but Jesus can make a 40 year old man like me cry. Praise you, Lord! You make all things new! Thank you for loving such a wretch like me.
This video was the answer to a prayer for me. I came to Christ about 6 months ago after many years of thinking I knew too much to believe in religion. You are doing the Lord's work and the Holy Spirit's work through you is evident. Thank you so much.
I cannot explain how much i love our lord.. everytime i see verses like this - i cry and it strengthens my love more and more. Thank you Father for sending Jesus Christ and protecting and leading us with the holy spirit. Christ is KING, AMEN ❤
Sam is the reason i found the Holy Spirit and gave my life to Christ, this man is doing the lords work and I pray he never stops 🙏☦️ ALL THANKS TO THE MOST HIGH!
@@InspiralJez no ones worshipping Sam brother, Sam doesn’t do anything by himself, all glory goes to God and sam himself says that.

Sam! Your knowledge of scripture is inspiring to all of us in Christ. Thank you Lord for reaching out to Sam. lifting him up and moulding him for this time! This is awesome!
I don't have the time to watch Sam's livestreams and your uploads have been very helpful. Can't thank you enough , Jeremy ! Loads of love to you in CHRIST ❤!!
I love ur channel because sam can talk a lot. You have shifted out the Gold all the important stuff. God Bless , tk u lord for Sam and this channel. Prayers of wisdom courage strength patience for sam and his family and all who seek the truth in Jesus Name Amen
Thank you my brother. I too weeped during that account. Oh, I pray for His return like you Sam. I’ve never personally met you Sam but I truly have a Christian love for you dude and one day very soon I look forward to meeting you in heaven along with all His saints. Oh what a day that will be. MARANATHA 🙏🙏🙏
It makes it seem worse. However, can you imagine Peter saying to Jesus the reason he denied him was because he was afraid he would die, essentially trying to justifiy himself and his Sin? Its like Sam said in the video; that you should not cover your sin but convess your wrong doing, seeking to be healed.
Simon was an enforcer who when Jesus could trust him called him the “rock” of his ministry. Rock means Peter in Hebrew. Jesus changed his name when he realized Andrew’s brother was trustworthy. Simon the zealot into Saint peter who was faithless but never betrayed Jesus. Judas was a zealot too but he betrayed Jesus for some coin, Judas served money and use to steal from Jesus according to Mark. Judas got mad when they anointed him with perfume, and didn’t just betray Jesus but sold him out for 30 pieces of silver then went to create his own rebellion against god by creating a anti messianic sect of assassins under the name Judas Iscariot. Eventually his soul came to fruition from guilt and once he understood they were going to crucify jesus he hung himself. Simon Peter was really about it and Jesus had to teach him to control his anger where as Judas was a weak spiritual man and would sell his soul to the devil being possessed according to biblical scripture.
I can’t read it neither, Sam. When I am forced to read it, I cry. Many Christians have said horrible things about you, but God knows our hearts, God knows how long we’ve endured, doing what we can for the kingdom, we all the while being imperfect. Father have mercy on us all.
Im on the road to understanding Christ and after listening to Sam have jumped further than i could have ever hoped. I can now say God Bless to others in joy rather than good day. Thankyou Sam through Christ
Im using Paul's phone, but this is Rachelle. Love you so much, Brother. Greatly appreciate your loyalty to showing a magnifier of higher understanding of God's Word. Praise the Lord for the gifts he's given you! I want to share with you that He graciously, amazingly healed me, after at least 25 years, of food addiction. It was such a horrible burden and miraculously I screamed that food is not my god and threw the food I was making while eating the first thing and already contemplating what to scarf down next! Embarrassing, but true. Fast forward another 15+ years and it FINALLY hit me why that came out of my mouth. It had to have been the Holy Spirit, because I had no idea why or what i was saying at the time. Long story a little longer.. I know now that I had not been turning to Him for my needs, food had been my go to from 6yrs old and that is what I, now, believe addiction stems from. WITH MUCH LOVE
I have just watched the account from you of the tree of forbiden knowledge and now this. never have i witnessed another who evidencs God's love for us individually in such a conclusive way that my heart was breaking along side yours for the love of God. You are truely blessed my the Spirit of God brother and I give thanks to our God that he used you to tell me his reason for the grace extended to us. i was totally amazed listening to you speak as i have heard many sermons from speakers and elders who focus on eternal life, the crown we recieve in heaven, the new Jerusalem etc etc etc but none of that has ever interested me. I gave my life to God through our |Lord and came to love him so much because I new that he was the only one who would never betray me or lead me wrongly. They say that Faith is not blind and this is so true, I don't need pilars of fire or water flowing out of rocks to know God loves me. I just had to repent and folow him and I have seen the truth of God's love for me within my own life. We only have to follow our lords commands to know he means the very best for us and ironically, this is how we were created to be - correct relationship with God. I thank our God that through the Spirit, he used you to tell me exactly the thing my heart has always wanted to hear even though it already new. I hope we get to shake hands after the trumpet call brother. Marinatha
WOOOOWWWWWW i felt crying... this is wonderful.. Thank you Sam God bless you.. Hope you can teach about Salvation.. or do you already given this topic, if so, can you share the link?? Thank you again and God Bless
God is so great! Sam has taught me alot about understanding. I'm thankful to the Father, Son and Holy spirit for always teaching me and giving me grace to still be here. Thank u Sam
Thank you my Lord and savior Jesus Christ for all your love.❤❤❤❤❤ And secondly lots of respect for brother sam shamoun for such a wonderful and powerful message. I was crying while watching.. May God bless you and protect you so that we can keep learning from a true teacher like you.
Thank you sam for your teachings. Honestly i was always in a mental battle of where Judas would end up. Betraying Jesus was Gods will which he carried out. However, learning his past behaviours sets my intelect at peace. Thankyou ❤
Pray for me too, I'm wrecked and foreshadowed by lust, and im😢 ashamed of it that I wanted it to end, help me brothers and I wanted families to change and grow in the love of Christ by the heart. I'll pray for you too through all my prayers to Jesus Christ through Saints. ❤
Thank you Sam...Numbers 6:24-26 KJV [24] The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: [25] The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: [26] The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
Dawg this video just hit me so hard 😢 I don’t deserve Jesus’s love man I fall down everyday n I fight everyday I can’t fathom the love Jesus has for me. Just wow. Thank u Lord for dying for me and always being forgiving
Thank you so much for making these edited videos. Sam is a teacher with rare insight into the Scriptures. Are used to listen to him earlier. Stopped listening to him sometime back because of the triggering content which always kept coming in in the way he had to refute those who interrupted the teaching sessions. Now I am able to listen to pure Nuggets of teaching.
So true, living forever on earth would be a form of torture for those who suffer from witnessing such iniquity : Sometimes I get tired of it including from my own.
Your work is inspiring and I think you should write books and publish them . your wisdom and understanding of the scripture should be spread in writing.
Praise be the our Lord and Savior for people like Sam. I pray that The Holy Spirit will open my eyes to a new understanding of our sacred scripture like Sam. Wow this man is truly blessed. Wish I can delve so deep in the sacred text like him. 🙏🙏🙏
The love of Christ is overwhelming. Since I was baptized with the Holy Spirit, I find myself crying almost daily from joy, or love, or just being overcome by how amazing our God is. It’d make me laugh how crazy we must look to the world, if I didn’t know the suffering it’s stuck in because of such little faith. Lord, let your love shine through your elect in all things!
I'm very happy for you, brother. But 'elect'? Are you a Calvinist? If so, watch Sam's other sessions on Calvinism and how it deceives true believers. The session on 'Jacob I loved, Esau I hated' at Christ over All's UA-cam channel is a good place to start, even if you're not a Calvinist.
We serve a loving Lord. May God forgive me for my failures, my denials of him, and my sins. May His name be glorified, Amen. Thank you for your grace and forgiveness Lord Jesus.
27mins yes Seperation from Jesus while we live in our flesh is HELL... And to be ETERNALLY separated, so terrifying, it is beyond our words The KINGDOM is in your midst, and within you
this is good. This morning i was reading John 15...where Jesus gives His commandment....and I never thought of this connection. Jesus is amazing!!!!!!!
The difference was between worldly sorrow in which the person relies on their feelings, the world and the foolish "wisdom" of men which leads to destruction vs godly sorrow which requires you to 100% rely on God for redemption and salvation. This leads to repentence, transformation and everlasting life.
This answers many questions and I am grateful to Sam. Here is a humble question- Apart from bitterly weeping when Jesu caught him on the very act of betrayal, how is it I am unable to hear Peter’s contrition expressed by openly and verbally confessing and asking for forgiveness from Jesus , for publicly denying HIM 3 times. I must have missed something. Oh what an awesome God , privileged to call Abba Father , we serve, worship and adore!!!! Come Lord Jesus , come
Lord I’ve been so selfish. So selfish. I’ve been thinking of my heavenly rewards for following you and that’s an abomination. Having eternal life is the ultimate gift and reward. Living alongside Jesus Christ is the ultimate reward. Lord I’m so sorry for being selfish I repent Lord. I’m so sorry. I hope others see this and understand he’s the greatest gift. Sam is 100% right. It’s hell to live without Jesus. I can’t my heart hurts without him.
I love your passion when talking about Jesus, who is the Way the Life the Truth, everything is about Him and for Him, i pray many many times for you Sam, that God blesses you, your ministery and keep bringing people to Christ and i also pray that God in his mercy free you from any idolatry through his Holy Spirit, you can't win againt the Holy Spirit of God, i pray that He brings you clarity that you already know, Jesus is Lord, all the glory to Him forever and ever, Amen.
This is my absolute problem, lusting for money and I admit that, I also steal money but now I found the Holy Spirit and also being baptize in the Catholic Church it change me alot, the from some reason I came across Sam, his understanding the true teaching of the Bible and Lord Jesus Christ Our God thank you, thank you for opening my heart and eyes I didn't even know about this the depth of this scriptures until today thank you Lord Our God Jesus Christ for you Sam.
And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. That is such a powerful sentence... You not thinking the Lord would know you denied Him only for Him to turn and immediately lock eyes with you in the middle of a crowd. The eyes of God in the Flesh staring at you must have been... earthshattering. It gives me chills to put myself in Peter's shoes.
Hi Sam I just found your videos today and I have been watching quite a few. I love how you are able to connect the scriptures to make it make sense. However, I want to point out in this video around the 17 minute mark you stated that if you confess your sin and not hide it, God will forgive you. But you left out the word forsake. It’s not enough to just confess we must also forsake sin in order to be forgiven. I’m not a Bible scholar I am a believer and I read the word of God. Your thoughts? Thanks!
I'm Nigeria and a theology student but I think God is using this man for better understanding the scripture, I believe he must be a member of the church of christ because this are only people with sound doctrine of Jesus Christ without strife 💪🏽
Simon Peter is brilliant. It's always him objecting in good faith, its him in his innocent but broad self latching onto Jesus's bosom to seek the truth of the betrayer. It was him that walked on water with our Lord and got wet doing so. What a character lol.

So there must be something else going on rather than a hanging or another accident in which Judas burst open and his guts came out. To argue that Judas did not strangle himself, but is still alive when Jesus appeared to the twelve disciples, I would like to mention nine points.
This is also an attempt to rehabilitate Juda(s), the Jew.
1
John 20:24 says: now Thomas one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came.
Jesus appeared to eleven disciples, so including Judas, since he is only replaced after the Ascension. There is a problem with the grammar when you take 'the twelve' as a technical term. Please read carefully, the pronomen personel 'them' refers directly to ‘the twelve.’ The pronoun cannot refer to a situation in the past.
2
1 Corinthians 15:5 says: …and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
When Paul writes about the appearance of Jesus, he writes about the situation before the Ascension, so before the replacement of Judas by Matthias which happened after the Ascension. And then there were twelve disciples, Judas including. So it's not the question that Judas is replaced, but that he didn't hang himself.
3
The translation ’hanged himself’ is reasonable but disputable.
The Greek απάγχω, composition of από and άγχω means literally squeeze (esp. the throat), strangle, throttle and is also used in derivative or metaphorical meanings as choked with anger, of pressing creditors, of a guilty conscience etc.
In Matthew 27:5 απήγξατο appears as 3rd sg. Aoristus Medium and can therefore be translated as strangled or hanged himself. But as I said, a derivative meaning is obvious and more plausible. Therefore I propose the following translation: And hurling the pieces of silver in the sanctuary he left; and after he went off, he got very scared.
Interestingly, the Dutch Statenvertaling, which is considered one of the most accurate translations in existence, translates with 'verworgde zichzelf.' It places the reflexive pronoun 'zichzelf' in italics, meaning that this word is not in the text, but has been added as a clarification. This is a textbook example of precise translation.

The only English translation I know that lists the reflexive pronoun in italics is the Disciples' Literal New Testament (DLNT): And having thrown the silver-coins into the temple, he departed. And having gone away, he hanged himself.
So again, this translation is not that literal as to get rid of the hanging.
4
After the Ascension the disciples assembled again to replace Judas. I consider the translation of Acts 1:18 to be very disputable.
Only if we assume that Judas has hanged himself and felt, the translation is conceivable.
First I would like to mention the passage in the King James Bible: Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out.
Let ‘s focus on the second part of verse 18: καί πρηνής γενόμενος έλάκησεν μέσος καί έξεχύθη πάντα τά σπλάχνα αύτού
The word translated as headlong, πρηνής can mean: with the head foremost, but the first meaning of πρηνής (nom. sg.) is: with the face downwards, bended or lying on ones stomach. By the way, the word 'prone' is still used in English in the meaning of 'prone position.' It means: to lie on the stomach. Derived meanings are: susceptible, amenable, receptive, open minded, open for suggestions and even vulnerable.
Nota bene: the word falling is not in the Greek text, γενόμενος (nom. sg. part. Aoristus of the verb γίγνομαι) means: come into being, take place.
People have in their mind, Judas has hanged, so he has to fall. That is what we call prejudice. If we look at the text with an open mind, we will translate differently. I propose: (being) with his face turned to the ground; or shortly: stooped or knelt.
To support my argument I mention the way in which the Vulgate reconciled the two reports. The Vulgate translates Acts 1:18 as following: …et hic quidem possedit agrum de mercede iniquitatis et suspensus crepuit medius et diffusa sunt omnia viscera eius (…. he hanged, burst in the midst and his viscera gushed out). The Wycliffe Bible remains the same. But these translations are plainly wrong. Does the Roman church want Judas to hang?
Subsequent (protestant) translations, as the King James Version, changed the text in the falling headlong.
The word translated as burst, έλακησεν (3rd. sg. Aoristus of the verb λάσκω, λακάω or ληκέω) means: ring, rattle, crack or burst (especially of things) and scream, shout or cry aloud (especially of animals or human beings). (1)
That his bowels gushed out is a way of saying, to express a deep sort of compassion or affection. In Hebrew it is referred to as rechamim. In particular it is used to mention God's mercy. The Dutch language has a great word for it, namely: barmhartigheid.
Σπλάχνα is been used at several places in the New Testament: 1 John 3:17; 2 Cor. 6:12, 7:15; Col. 3:12; Philemon: 7, 12, 20; Philippians 1:8, 2:1, Luke 1:78. To mention only Luke: Through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us. If it is metaphorically translated in those places, it is likely to do this here as well.
To conclude, I suggest the following translation: Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity, when he knelt down, he screamed with great compassion.

@@InspiralJez I’ll accept that maybe it could be understood that way, I’ve corrected it to better illustrate my position that all things happen by will of the Father and that all praise belongs to him ☦️
My brother in Christ, thank you for your teachings Sam.
Sam! Your knowledge of scripture is inspiring to all of us in Christ. Thank you Lord for reaching out to Sam. lifting him up and moulding him for this time! This is awesome!
I don't have the time to watch Sam's livestreams and your uploads have been very helpful. Can't thank you enough , Jeremy ! Loads of love to you in CHRIST ❤!!
Peter has always been my favourite disciple because his story gives me hope that I too can be forgiven.
I love ur channel because sam can talk a lot. You have shifted out the Gold all the important stuff. God Bless , tk u lord for Sam and this channel. Prayers of wisdom courage strength patience for sam and his family and all who seek the truth in Jesus Name Amen
Thanks
Thanks!
Thank you my brother. I too weeped during that account. Oh, I pray for His return like you Sam. I’ve never personally met you Sam but I truly have a Christian love for you dude and one day very soon I look forward to meeting you in heaven along with all His saints. Oh what a day that will be. MARANATHA 🙏🙏🙏
Absolute GOLD
Peter was frightened for his life. He didn't have time to think and regretted denying him. Judas was calculated. Big difference.
It makes it seem worse. However, can you imagine Peter saying to Jesus the reason he denied him was because he was afraid he would die, essentially trying to justifiy himself and his Sin? Its like Sam said in the video; that you should not cover your sin but convess your wrong doing, seeking to be healed.
Eventually Peter would lead the apostles after Christ forgave him. Judas had remorse whether he was forgiven by Jesus we don't know.
Simon was an enforcer who when Jesus could trust him called him the “rock” of his ministry. Rock means Peter in Hebrew. Jesus changed his name when he realized Andrew’s brother was trustworthy. Simon the zealot into Saint peter who was faithless but never betrayed Jesus. Judas was a zealot too but he betrayed Jesus for some coin, Judas served money and use to steal from Jesus according to Mark. Judas got mad when they anointed him with perfume, and didn’t just betray Jesus but sold him out for 30 pieces of silver then went to create his own rebellion against god by creating a anti messianic sect of assassins under the name Judas Iscariot. Eventually his soul came to fruition from guilt and once he understood they were going to crucify jesus he hung himself. Simon Peter was really about it and Jesus had to teach him to control his anger where as Judas was a weak spiritual man and would sell his soul to the devil being possessed according to biblical scripture.
Why would someone who spent time with Jesus firsthand be afraid of death?
Nobody here on earth can judge Peter, the circumstances are too extreme to consider. Absolutely no one can say “I wouldn’t have done what Peter did”
I can’t read it neither, Sam. When I am forced to read it, I cry. Many Christians have said horrible things about you, but God knows our hearts, God knows how long we’ve endured, doing what we can for the kingdom, we all the while being imperfect. Father have mercy on us all.
Im on the road to understanding Christ and after listening to Sam have jumped further than i could have ever hoped. I can now say God Bless to others in joy rather than good day. Thankyou Sam through Christ
Wow this was such a powerful teaching moment. I'm going to listen to it all over again.
Sam you are such a blessing.I am so blessed lesarning so much from you.
Wow hallelujah thank you Lord Jesus Christ 🙏🏼
Im using Paul's phone, but this is Rachelle. Love you so much, Brother. Greatly appreciate your loyalty to showing a magnifier of higher understanding of God's Word. Praise the Lord for the gifts he's given you! I want to share with you
that He graciously, amazingly healed me, after at least 25 years, of food addiction. It was such a horrible burden and miraculously I screamed that food is not my god and threw the food I was making while eating the first thing and already contemplating what to scarf down next! Embarrassing, but true. Fast forward another 15+ years and it FINALLY hit me why that came out of my mouth. It had to have been the Holy Spirit, because I had no idea why or what i was saying at the time. Long story a little longer.. I know now that I had not been turning to Him for my needs, food had been my go to from 6yrs old and that is what I, now, believe addiction stems from. WITH MUCH LOVE
I’m not worthy of him. Praise the Lord Jesus. I felt that within my spirit I cried along side Sam.. 😢 we all need to be better.
I have just watched the account from you of the tree of forbiden knowledge and now this. never have i witnessed another who evidencs God's love for us individually in such a conclusive way that my heart was breaking along side yours for the love of God. You are truely blessed my the Spirit of God brother and I give thanks to our God that he used you to tell me his reason for the grace extended to us. i was totally amazed listening to you speak as i have heard many sermons from speakers and elders who focus on eternal life, the crown we recieve in heaven, the new Jerusalem etc etc etc but none of that has ever interested me. I gave my life to God through our |Lord and came to love him so much because I new that he was the only one who would never betray me or lead me wrongly. They say that Faith is not blind and this is so true, I don't need pilars of fire or water flowing out of rocks to know God loves me. I just had to repent and folow him and I have seen the truth of God's love for me within my own life. We only have to follow our lords commands to know he means the very best for us and ironically, this is how we were created to be - correct relationship with God. I thank our God that through the Spirit, he used you to tell me exactly the thing my heart has always wanted to hear even though it already new. I hope we get to shake hands after the trumpet call brother. Marinatha
WOOOOWWWWWW i felt crying... this is wonderful.. Thank you Sam God bless you.. Hope you can teach about Salvation.. or do you already given this topic, if so, can you share the link?? Thank you again and God Bless
This was beautiful and moving. Thank you 🙏
Wow! That was off the chain. Answering questions I’ve had for forty years in 36 minutes.
Such a loving and awesome God that we get to serve. Oh how we need to wake up to what is truly important.
Thankyou for this teaching. It makes clear to me how I will have to pray for strength in my battle against my visces
Thank you Sam for taking a fresh look at a deep teachings of scriptures and showing us a character our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
This hits the heart in a beautiful way, thank you for these continued edits.
Great study. Thank you.
God is so great! Sam has taught me alot about understanding. I'm thankful to the Father, Son and Holy spirit for always teaching me and giving me grace to still be here. Thank u Sam
Amen powerful massage 🔥
Thank you my Lord and savior Jesus Christ for all your love.❤❤❤❤❤
And secondly lots of respect for brother sam shamoun for such a wonderful and powerful message. I was crying while watching.. May God bless you and protect you so that we can keep learning from a true teacher like you.
Thank you brother for sharing your love and knowledge of scripture. God bless you in abundance.
awesome exposition , never saw it this way . . .
Thank you sam for your teachings. Honestly i was always in a mental battle of where Judas would end up. Betraying Jesus was Gods will which he carried out. However, learning his past behaviours sets my intelect at peace. Thankyou ❤
Pray for me too, I'm wrecked and foreshadowed by lust, and im😢 ashamed of it that I wanted it to end, help me brothers and I wanted families to change and grow in the love of Christ by the heart. I'll pray for you too through all my prayers to Jesus Christ through Saints. ❤
I love to see the conviction in his heart these verses almost bring me to tears
Thank you Sam...Numbers 6:24-26 KJV
[24] The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: [25] The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: [26] The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
We need to put our trust in Jesus for our salvation!
Dawg this video just hit me so hard 😢 I don’t deserve Jesus’s love man I fall down everyday n I fight everyday I can’t fathom the love Jesus has for me. Just wow. Thank u Lord for dying for me and always being forgiving
This is beautiful! Thank so much for your preaching Sam!
powerful exchange between 2 folks about God's unconditional love for His people, to what Christ has done for us.
Thank you so much for making these edited videos. Sam is a teacher with rare insight into the Scriptures. Are used to listen to him earlier. Stopped listening to him sometime back because of the triggering content which always kept coming in in the way he had to refute those who interrupted the teaching sessions. Now I am able to listen to pure Nuggets of teaching.
Sam, your teachings are a great blessing to those who watch. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart
So true, living forever on earth would be a form of torture for those who suffer from witnessing such iniquity : Sometimes I get tired of it including from my own.
Thank you, Sam
Amazing channel, thank you so much. God bless you and your family.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, mind and soul. He will never leave you nor forsake you, He sees your heart and is closer than a friend 😊
Thank God I've been following you, thank you Lord.
@17:45 Amen ❣️True 💯🙏
My Lord and Savior, how faithful you are. Thank you for coming to save us. ❤
Heavy context. Left me in tears from the greater clarity that I have now on how much Jesus loves us.
Thank you Father for the revealing of your love through your holy word spirt. May you Lord continue to be my all.
Thank you sir. Keep going
Your work is inspiring and I think you should write books and publish them . your wisdom and understanding of the scripture should be spread in writing.
Praise be the our Lord and Savior for people like Sam. I pray that The Holy Spirit will open my eyes to a new understanding of our sacred scripture like Sam. Wow this man is truly blessed. Wish I can delve so deep in the sacred text like him. 🙏🙏🙏
Sam, this is beautiful! Every day you bring more and more to Lord
Don’t forget you need to forsake your sin and the Lord will have mercy.
Forsaking your sin is the definition of repentance Matthew 12:41 Jonah 3:10
HALLELUJAH
The love of Christ is overwhelming. Since I was baptized with the Holy Spirit, I find myself crying almost daily from joy, or love, or just being overcome by how amazing our God is.
It’d make me laugh how crazy we must look to the world, if I didn’t know the suffering it’s stuck in because of such little faith.
Lord, let your love shine through your elect in all things!
I'm very happy for you, brother. But 'elect'? Are you a Calvinist? If so, watch Sam's other sessions on Calvinism and how it deceives true believers. The session on 'Jacob I loved, Esau I hated' at Christ over All's UA-cam channel is a good place to start, even if you're not a Calvinist.
We serve a loving Lord. May God forgive me for my failures, my denials of him, and my sins. May His name be glorified, Amen. Thank you for your grace and forgiveness Lord Jesus.
27mins yes Seperation from Jesus while we live in our flesh is HELL...
And to be ETERNALLY separated, so terrifying, it is beyond our words
The KINGDOM is in your midst, and within you
I needed this thank you so much.
I love this, Beautifully done💐
John 14:21
Glory be to the Lord Yeshua Hamashiach.
This is so good!!! You are such an effective teacher!!!
Thanks for this reminder Sam, was much needed today.
This is beautiful. Thank Jesus. 🙏🏼
this is good. This morning i was reading John 15...where Jesus gives His commandment....and I never thought of this connection. Jesus is amazing!!!!!!!
This episode was a tear jerker ! Wow I love the deep dives into scripture! Praise Jesus! Christ is King! 👑
The difference was between worldly sorrow in which the person relies on their feelings, the world and the foolish "wisdom" of men which leads to destruction vs godly sorrow which requires you to 100% rely on God for redemption and salvation. This leads to repentence, transformation and everlasting life.
Thankyou so much for this and sharing this 💖 😢😢😢 I want to be a Peter 😢
Thx for these videos, God bless you for the effort
This answers many questions and I am grateful to Sam.
Here is a humble question-
Apart from bitterly weeping when Jesu caught him on the very act of betrayal, how is it I am unable to hear Peter’s contrition expressed by openly and verbally confessing and asking for forgiveness from Jesus , for publicly denying HIM 3 times. I must have missed something.
Oh what an awesome God , privileged to call Abba Father , we serve, worship and adore!!!!
Come Lord Jesus , come
🕊️ he said the Holy Spirit has been with him this whole time. 🤗 Yes, yes He has. God bless him 🙏❤️
I never realized I would get so much watching this vid. Viva Cristo Rey.
awesome. thank you.
Sam you are so Deep. Greetings from germany .
Lord I’ve been so selfish. So selfish. I’ve been thinking of my heavenly rewards for following you and that’s an abomination. Having eternal life is the ultimate gift and reward. Living alongside Jesus Christ is the ultimate reward. Lord I’m so sorry for being selfish I repent Lord. I’m so sorry. I hope others see this and understand he’s the greatest gift. Sam is 100% right. It’s hell to live without Jesus. I can’t my heart hurts without him.
I love your passion when talking about Jesus, who is the Way the Life the Truth, everything is about Him and for Him, i pray many many times for you Sam, that God blesses you, your ministery and keep bringing people to Christ and i also pray that God in his mercy free you from any idolatry through his Holy Spirit, you can't win againt the Holy Spirit of God, i pray that He brings you clarity that you already know, Jesus is Lord, all the glory to Him forever and ever, Amen.
When we do sin we have a spokesperson in Jesus that will speak to the Father in our behalf ✝️
Praise the Lord Jesus. He is almighty.❤
Oh what a wonderful God we serve, now more than ever he is the Light of this dark and wicked world.
Bro. Sam, please pray for me that I may be given strength to confess my sins.
These things had to come to pass for our God's plan to be fulfilled, Amen
💭🤔 hallelujah in Jesus name amen 🙏🏽
🫡💯🔥
This is my absolute problem, lusting for money and I admit that, I also steal money but now I found the Holy Spirit and also being baptize in the Catholic Church it change me alot, the from some reason I came across Sam, his understanding the true teaching of the Bible and Lord Jesus Christ Our God thank you, thank you for opening my heart and eyes I didn't even know about this the depth of this scriptures until today thank you Lord Our God Jesus Christ for you Sam.
Thank God!
And the Lord turned and looked at Peter.
That is such a powerful sentence... You not thinking the Lord would know you denied Him only for Him to turn and immediately lock eyes with you in the middle of a crowd.
The eyes of God in the Flesh staring at you must have been... earthshattering. It gives me chills to put myself in Peter's shoes.
In the Old Testament, the price of a slave was 30 pieces of silver.
Amen my dear bŕother. Ptl.
Sam makes me cry weekly ☦️❤️
Hi Sam
I just found your videos today and I have been watching quite a few. I love how you are able to connect the scriptures to make it make sense. However, I want to point out in this video around the 17 minute mark you stated that if you confess your sin and not hide it, God will forgive you. But you left out the word forsake. It’s not enough to just confess we must also forsake sin in order to be forgiven. I’m not a Bible scholar I am a believer and I read the word of God. Your thoughts?
Thanks!
I'm Nigeria and a theology student but I think God is using this man for better understanding the scripture, I believe he must be a member of the church of christ because this are only people with sound doctrine of Jesus Christ without strife 💪🏽
Simon Peter is brilliant. It's always him objecting in good faith, its him in his innocent but broad self latching onto Jesus's bosom to seek the truth of the betrayer. It was him that walked on water with our Lord and got wet doing so. What a character lol.
How can I meet with you Sam? God Bless you guys
God is very tolerant, but to a point. You can reach a point of not return. This whole study it keep reminding me of king Saul's life.
