We don't need someone to interpret the Bible? I struggle with understanding the Bible. What about exegesis? Didn't God give gifts to men? ua-cam.com/users/shortsVM9rxX8PzS0?feature=share
Didn't realize this was live. Working on my old truck in the shop and felt lead to turn something good on on youtube and this was at the top. Excellent message.
This message is pretty powerful. I can’t help but notice what God is doing through you to spread the gospel message about Grace and I’ve been watching your videos when you witness on the streets to Mormons. What a blessing it is and even helped me in my faith. Thank you for being not you, but obedient to the Lord, nobody gets to be thanked for anything ..but God. He gets the glory.
It's not that God just planned it all before the foundation of the world. It's that God has already done it all always forever. Since God is beyond time the One Spirit has always been in every moment, God is still in the beginning, and God is already at the end, God is still in every moment of the past even at the moment of the cross and he is at this moment at the second coming and beyond. He exists in every moment always forever, and has done it all already. Because he is there even now even what has not been done yet he is there and has done it. Always has always forever this is what it is to be omnipresence. Always forever in all things through all and beyond forever everywhere forever.
Just a suggestion.. Please put your ads up front and at the end. I would be happy to watch a longer ad at the beginning or end instead of a bunch of small ads every 2 minutes. It really does affect one's concentration and, as a result, takes away from how effective your message is received.
I came here wondering if this was happening to anyone else. It’s driving me crazy! But I think that it’s a UA-cam thing, not a choice done by the channel. I got an email a while ago from UA-cam basically saying they get to monetize videos for themselves whenever they want without owing any of it to the content creators. (My husband thinks they do it on purpose to conservative/Christian channels to try to deter people from watching).
Luke ch.13:24NIV"“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to." James ch.2:20-22NIV"You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless d ? 21Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.

Gooday everyone im a 52-year-old Man with 25 years of mixed Doctrine some True some False. Can someone Please suggest where I can do a 4 year online reformed baptist pastoral course. i live in Canada Thanks
I have a hard time explaining this because when the bible says "those who believe" it sound like the person is making the choice to believe or not believe. Is there a resource you can recommend explaining this?
55:51 And the foundation of the world is literally fixed (immovable) FE is not a salvation subject but the heliocentric universe originated from Hermeticism (ancient Egyptian sun worship) The Word of God over the "science" of man. Psalm 93:1 The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. Psalm 96:10 Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously. Psalm 104:5 He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. 1 Chronicles 16:30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it not be moved. Zechariah 1:11 And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood amoung the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.
James says, “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also” (James 2:26). Faith without works is a dead faith because the lack of works reveals an unchanged life or a spiritually dead heart. There are many verses that say that true saving faith will result in a transformed life, that faith is demonstrated by the works we do. How we live reveals what we believe and whether the faith we profess to have is a living faith.
"What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life." Romans 6:1-4
I think I see election was before 70ad of Israel. Israel was predestined to judgement and salvation of OT Saints. The Bible was predestined. Salvation for the Jews. His people He redeemed from Egypt. Then redeemed them from the city where they crucified the Lord. New covenant. I see everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. God's elect plan for His elect WAS completed. We all reap from the Gospel THAT Was for the elect up to 70ad.
..... "God is not putting a gun to your head and making you do evil - you are doing what you want to do" - also Calvinism (or some Calvinists) "God predestines every molecule" and "Every thought and choice we make was predetermined by God". Jeff - if God wanted something to happen/behaviors (He says so in the text) and it doesn't happen OR if God didn't want something/behaviors to happen (He says so in the text) and it does - how do you reconcile this with your biblical world view of God that ***every*** specific detail (including all our thoughts and actions, good and evil) was ultimately predetermined before God created? The answer I've heard is "Well, God has two wills - a revealed will and a secret one that is in conflict with his revealed will" - I find myself struggling to credit God with the evil He says he didn't want to happen.
You have to believe that because God is always good then, whether you understand it or not, God has a good purpose for whatever he decrees/ordains to happen throughout history.After all, according to scripture, from the foundation of the world he ordained that the perfect God man, his son, be the victim of the worst evil acts that men have ever done that led to his crucifixion.It's the perfect example of God ordaining an evil act for the best good...redemption of those who believe.It demonstrates in one act of people breaking God's prescriptive will (his commandments) by committing murder bringing about his decreetive will (what he ordains to happen in history) the crucifixion of his son.
@@Brenda-qo4ko I've heard all this before - "Jesus was murdered and His death and resurrection were predestined" "and that's the most vile thing" (I've even heard Jeff say "ppl did things to His body that he didn't give them permission to do" (How can that statement be true in the Calvinist theological world view?? He certainly did give them permission before the "foundation of the world" - "So Christ was predestined to be murdered therefore".... - murder in general, rape, and child molestation, and all the things God tells us He abhors and fights against He actually is just pretending to be against and doesn't practice what he proclaims (Secretly His decretive will is causing it all) Yet God tells us not to be like the hypocrites and that a house divided against itself can't stand (prescriptive, decretive) - He warns us against those who speak one thing but don't practice what they preach (Like His warning of the Pharisees and Sadducees who sat in Moses' seat but were hypocrites. "Listen to them (as far as they speak the truth Moses gave you), but do not do as they do". So w/e we see God says He is against something, He really isn't. He is lying. When He says "You shouldn't have done that" (The Calvinist) winks and says "Just kidding God??" Christ's death and resurrection was a rescue mission by a willing God the son - He wasn't dragged to the cross and murdered by God the Father against His will. (Though it was murder/envy in the hearts of those who turned Him over to be crucified) God doesn't murder - "He doesn't sin, nor tempt anyone to sin" He let them do what they wanted to do and turned their wickedness into victory for all who call on Him (even his murderers...) I hear Jeff rail against the evil of our day (rightly so) even saying it's against God's nature (Not possible if you are a Calvinist - because everything that happens flows from His nature ) yet if God decrees it all (He wrote a script/code and his bots are carrying it out) then Jeff is railing ultimately against God's nature. "Less happily you be found to be fighting against God" Also, if everything is decreed then there is no such thing as disobedience - everyone is simply obeying God's decree as that's all they can do. Yet we are told by God "Your ways are not mine - my thoughts are not yours" (However if all is decreed this can't be true - as our ways and thoughts could only be His) So basically your answer to my question of "If God wants something to happen and it doesn't - or doesn't want something to happen and it does" is this - "W/e happens or doesn't God decreed it not matter what He actuallysays in the text"
@@CoachDChapman Are you a professing Christian?Do you believe that the Bible contains the inspired, inerrant word of God?If your answer to both of the questions is yes then your philosophical beefs aren't with Jeff or any other Calvinists.They are with God.
@@Brenda-qo4ko Yes. Yes, I do. I've been using His inspired Word to point out why I'm not a professing "Calvinist". And - you are not God. My disagreements with you and Jeff don't inherently equate to "Beefing with God" . When God says He doesn't want something to happen and it does - or does want something to happen and it doesn't your answer is to say God isn't being truthful - He has two wills in opposition to each other- one is just the appearance of righteousness - the other is His true nature (That would be whatever happens is who God really is - not what He has said) In your world view He laments the very things he causes. And when you and jeff talk about God's nature - and rebellion to it being evil (We agree) - but out of the same mouth you both will claim He specifically caused it.

@@CoachDChapman Anyone who believes that when God created he had perfect foreknowledge from eternity past all that would come to pass in history including all behaviors and events good and evil has to grapple with the fact that God would not have created if it wasn't what he wanted to happen (Isaiah 46:10 - "Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things which have not been done, saying 'My counsel will be established, and I will accomplish all my good pleasure.'") And it is clear in scripture that God has a prescriptive will in which he gives his laws and commands, and his decretive will in which he clearly uses man's disobedience/sin to bring about his purposes. About the issue of people somehow being forced to behave in certain ways or make certain choices because of God's decree let me ask you a couple question.As you get up every day and go through you life do you know what God has ordained for you that day?Or do you, like the rest of us do, make choices according to what you desire to do i.e. whether or not to drink coffee, what to have for breakfast or not eat breakfast, what route you're going to take to work, whether or not you're going to return someone's call right now or after lunch, etc, etc, etc.Do you have times when you strongly desire to do something but you feel forced to do just the opposite by some force outside of yourself? Everything reformed/Calvinist theologians/apologists teach is clearly taught in scripture.That's why I said that your issues with Calvinism aren't with them...they're with God.
that is the catholic church..............telling us that they need to tell us what the Bible says, we cant possibly understand on our own. I cant tell you how many times I heard this!!!!!!! Obviously Im no longer Catholic!! the rest of my family however, still dont 'get it'!!
Can anyone on here tell me the "5" principles and ordinances Jesus Christ taught that would guarantee our salvation and entrance into the kingdom of god? He was very specific and very clear. He taught them repeatedly in the scriptures. He taught personal responsibility. "5" things that we must do to guarantee our salvation.
1. Faith (luke8 : 9-12-Matt 25:21-Matt 21:22) 2. Repentance (Luke 13:3-Matt 3:2-Mark 1:15-Matt 4:17) 3. Baptism for remission of sins (mark 16:16-John 3:3-5- 1 pet 3:21) 4. Receive Holy Ghost (john 3:3-5-matt 28:18-20-Acts 2:37-38) 5. Endure to the end=keeping the commandments (Matt 10:22, Matt 24:13, Mark 13:13, John 14:15,21 John 15:10 Matt 19:16-19 mark 10:17-19 Luke 18:18-20 So many christian pastors that I hear teach more on what Paul said about salvation and not on what the son of god taught on salvation. Jesus christ was perfectly clear. We must do these 5 things to be saved. Will you do what Paul said, or will you do what the son of God said? The sermon on the mount is full of additional christ like attributes to prepare us to return and live with him I heaven. Matt chapters 5-7. Why there is so much confusion on this topic is mind-blowing. The teachings of Christ are perfectly clear, and they are all right in the bible. Christ is the way, the truth and the life. The course is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We must do these 5 things to get on course and stay on course. Our personal salvation IS NOT GUARANTEED. WE MUST STAY THE COURSE.
@@jasonmears4393 If Paul is wrong then he may be wrong in many other things. Why then believe the apostles? Better yet why believe any of the apostles?
@@jasonmears4393 And if you'd listened to the video you'd understand that the Bible teaches that man, because of his fallen nature, is unable to and does not desire to do those things.It takes a work from God by the Holy Spirit to spiritually regenerate someone so that they do desire to have faith in Christ.By the way, #3 is wrong.You're basing that belief on the misinterpretation of John 3:3-5 and 1 Peter 3:21 in their context.Also, because it's likely that Mark 16:9-20 was not in the original inspired writing of Mark but a later addition to the text, there should be no theology based on those scriptures.They are likely not the original inspired words of God.

😂 right when you started talking about Mormons an ad cut you off for the later day saints and how to join them. 🙄
Doesn't the Bible say God gave teachers? What about exegesis?
So I can go about my sinning knowing God has given me Grace?
I thought the same once and it only showed how much I need God. True grace gives us the strength to overcome sin. We can’t save ourselves bro

The sermon on the mount is full of additional christ like attributes to prepare us to return and live with him I heaven. Matt chapters 5-7.
Why there is so much confusion on this topic is mind-blowing. The teachings of Christ are perfectly clear, and they are all right in the bible. Christ is the way, the truth and the life. The course is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We must do these 5 things to get on course and stay on course. Our personal salvation IS NOT GUARANTEED. WE MUST STAY THE COURSE.
@@jasonmears4393 If Paul is wrong then he may be wrong in many other things. Why then believe the apostles? Better yet why believe any of the apostles?
@@jasonmears4393 And if you'd listened to the video you'd understand that the Bible teaches that man, because of his fallen nature, is unable to and does not desire to do those things.It takes a work from God by the Holy Spirit to spiritually regenerate someone so that they do desire to have faith in Christ.By the way, #3 is wrong.You're basing that belief on the misinterpretation of John 3:3-5 and 1 Peter 3:21 in their context.Also, because it's likely that Mark 16:9-20 was not in the original inspired writing of Mark but a later addition to the text, there should be no theology based on those scriptures.They are likely not the original inspired words of God.
Amen
