I am listening to this message on 15 Aug 2023. Today my wife and I visited a Catholic home we know of. The working mother of this family came back from her work. Her face had very well displayed the fatigue she was having after a hard day's work, and told us how she was obliged to go to the church that evening as it is a "day of obligation" to Catholics. Then I felt sorry for this mother rembering what Paul wrote to Galatians saying that salvation is by faith and not thro works which this Catholic mother never knew. A heavy yoke, I realized, had been put on her shoulder of this mother which she was carrying unwillingly.
Every time I get to listen to this Brother of God it's so amazing. Thank you Dr. James Tour for all you do and yes I love the liberty that we have in Jesus Christ and other people can't stand it. “And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:” ~ Galatians 2:4
If you have ever prayed to the Lord of the Harvest that He would send workers into the field, This man Dr. James Tour is an example of whom you were praying for. God Bless you.
If we want god's grace, god's love, god's kindness, god's mercy and god's forgiveness, then we must know who the only god is or who the only true god is. Refer to john 17:3; it is clear and profound.

Thank you so much Dr. Tour for your Bible studies! You bring so much insight! Today I understood what it meant when Jesus talked about the keys to the Kingdom AND how it's God, not us. That takes so much pressure off of me to learn how to tell people the gospel "perfectly" (leftovers from childhood). I love your Bible teaching!! And I listen to your science videos as well :)

If anyone thinks God is mean or in any way not good, it's because they do not have an eternal perspective. We can only see what's in front of our noses down here, but we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, even when it doesn't look like it, and that is where faith and trust comes in. We trust in God because of who He is and what His Word tells us about Him.
Grace through a living faith, not a dead faith. “What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works (lead by the Holy Spirit)? can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works (lead by the Holy Spirit), is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works (lead by the Holy Spirit): shew me thy faith without thy works (lead by the Holy Spirit), and I will shew thee my faith by my works (lead by the Holy Spirit). Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe (i.e. have faith), and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works (lead by the Holy Spirit) is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works (lead by the Holy Spirit), when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works (lead by the Holy Spirit), and by works (lead by the Holy Spirit) was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see then how that by works (lead by the Holy Spirit) a man is justified, and not by faith only. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works (lead by the Holy Spirit), when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works (lead by the Holy Spirit) is dead also.” (James 2:14-26, KJV) “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16, KJV) “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” (Galatians 5:19-21, KJV) “But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.” (Galatians 5:18, KJV) “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.” (Galatians 5:22-26, KJV)
It is a process, otherwise there would be no need for leadership. Here is what Christ Jesus has to say: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 7:7-12, KJV) See also Luke 18.1-8

8:30 ... That is what I always point out to people. Jesus spoke what God told Him, and He always obeyed the Father (as the Word, in the flesh); God is a disciplining Father, for our own good... God disciplines those He loves, and if we love Jesus, we obey His commandments.
The question is, why did Christ need a church? He himself never established one, and his followers can speak directly to Him, not through an organization.
The church is his body. God the father wants a family. You have to grow in love. You cannot self love or pretend to love God. If you cannot love one another, your love for God is fake.
Church is referred to as his bride. God the father. God the son. And soon the marriage supper. He went to prepare a place for us. Just like Jewish marital custom.

Are you aware of the Son of Man prophecy by Yahshua? Matthew 24:23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘He is over here,’ do not believe him. 24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and will provide great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. 25 Behold, I have told you in advance. 26 So if they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them. 27 For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be. (A universal coming seen by all, not a private audience). ( In that age outside the city was a willderness such as meadows, farmline, mountains and deserts) I think it discounts Joseph Smith story and is a vivid warning about someone else very famous.
Another guy who reads the bible. And thinks HE just figured out the secret formula. Just like Martin Luther, John Calvin, Charles Putnam, etc. Personal interpretation that's why we have hundreds and hundreds of different Christian churches all across America all these so proclaim pastors preaching a different dart train from the same Bible they are you everybody is doing their own personal interpretation instead of being humble in acting like the Ethiopian in the Bible. You cannot isolate verses from the Bible to make complete blanket doctrines. If it was that easy we would just have the four Gospels and nothing else in the bible. Read the book of James and you will be shocked at that this guy is not telling the whole truth because it is not just great or Greece working through Faith it is more than that. You can turn away from God's gift of grace you can also lose Faith period you also need repentance and baptism. All found in the New testament. With plenty of scriptures seen specifically you will not inherit the Kingdom of heaven of you don't DO all these things. How many Christians have you known in your early life that turned away from their faith later on life? Very simple questions will help you realize his "personal interpretation" isn't true and it ISNT biblical. Remember the Bible also tells us that even Satan believes. Belief by itself is not enough. Education is the cure for protestantism. 🕊️🙏🏻⛪✝️🤍
