Am so greatful to the Lord for individuals who make such a great Sacrifice to so Adequately study God's Word God and help so many persons to better understand Holy Scriptures much better. Thank Chief Apologizer Richardson.
Dr. Richardson, Is it possible for us to be made aware of your speaking engagements? It would be an honor to see you teach live and I’m sure people are willing to travel. Thank you.
I have a similar background like yourself. I also grew up in the Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Apostolic Faith. When I was younger, I was never drawn to being baptize even though that was my faith. I just wasn’t completely ready to wear hats and skirts 24/7 and tarrying for the Holy Ghost because who want to spit up to receive God. 🤮🤮🤮 I was only different from the rest of my mother’s side because my father’s mom wanted to make sure her grand baby could dress nice and wear pants! So my mom who was young allowed it even while wearing skirts herself. Long story short, I was drawn to another church who was pastored by a woman (you would have thought I denied Jesus because women preachers is a no no and is still until this day). I was apart of a new church still holding on to Oneness theology. Believed everything except for when it came to the Trinity. Transition from that ministry and now COGIC and at the beginning of my tenure at my church now, I was still holding onto oneness theology but believing everything else. So crazy! It wasn’t until I ran across your videos and continued studying the scriptures for myself, and I now no longer hold on to Oneness theology and many more subject matters that I was not taught properly on. I’m currently under deconstruction to reconstruction (because while being confused about some biblical teachings, I AINT LEAVING JESUS! LOL! The Holy Spirit will reveal and also I many need some education and other resources). I said all of that to say, I just thank God for your life and work Pastor Damon and you’re a Cowboys fan just like me which put the icing on the cake the more! LOL!
Hey Damon! Great message here. you came to my church, The Avenue, in Memphis TN a few months ago and taught about Jesus cursing the fig tree. You said that the figs in the middle east bare leaves and then fruit and this was very interesting to me! Do you remember where you learned this?
I read that in a commentary years ago and looked up figs in the middle east to confirm the information to which the website on figs also mentioned certain species producing figs before leaves. This was years ago so I'm sorry that I can't remember the sources.
@@UrbanLogiaMinistries No worries! It was an awesome sermon and that brought a lot of clarity to the text. Like you said, a plain reading of the text you wonder why in the world did Jesus curse this fig tree lol
Beautiful lesson. One scripture comes to my mind in PARticular… Daniel 7:13. Established …. That Jesus DID NOT👉🏽 have a beginning. He always existed as John states in 1:1. That the ‘Ancient of Days’ 👉🏽 is DEFinitely referring to GOD The Father. As the ‘Son of Man’ (‘coming on the clouds’ which is heavily used by Luke) was ‘BROUGHT to’ 👉🏽 is Jesus. Oneness has to deal with that. If you say Jesus is the Father…WHO IS THE ANCIENT OF DAYS⁉️ Since the ‘Ancient of Days’ IS obviously The Father thennnn….where did you OP’s ‘stash’ the Father that spoke to Him⁉️ The Father that Jesus submits AFTER you made him..THE…FATHER 👉🏽where pray tell…did you put HIM⁉️⁉️⁉️ Riddle me that⁉️⁉️⁉️ And I still say that 👉🏽1 Tim 1:17 & 6:16 refers to The Father and NOT…The Christ and for me to believe such doesn’t destroy Christ Diety…it just show’s distinction between the Father and the Son. But that’s just me. Doesn’t do any damage to my belief in the Trinity I just interpret it that way. Especially…6:16 when starting from 6:14. Beautiful and passionate teaching though Pastor.
This video starts of with the speaker saying "the purpose of the Shema was not to teach Israel there was only one God" But the Bible says clearly that the Lord God is one He. The point was that the God revealed inside of creation is the same one person outside creation, the Spirit of God revealed in Christ. The point was that the Angel of the Lord(God's Spirit) that was with Abraham and his descendants was the unknowable God. A manifestation of the Divine Spirit with them. Zechariah 12:8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
I find his comment towards the end funny and conflicting when he says earlier in his preaching…tell them (Oneness Believers) to grab their Bible and watch this video. So now he is telling this congregation to do what he accused the oneness church of doing by hiring him to explain the godhead theology because the lay person cannot. I guess we are all stuck hiring Devon. I would like to see him debate David K Bernard.
I agree and believe your teaching; but could you PLEASE refrain from showing disrespect to an American president regardless of your political beliefs??? It's offensive, the Lord tells us to respect who He's placed over us and you may reach a larger audience. You don't need to agree with ANY ONE particular president's policies, but his role was given to him by our Sovereign God.
4:59 - _"I will ask that you will not _*_impose your thinking on the text_*_ ..."_
That's exactly what the trinitarian does.
Because every human son is a person distinct from his father, the trinitarian assumes the only begotten Son of God is _necessarily_ a person distinct from _his_ Father. But imposing that thinking on the text blinds the trinitarian to the revelation of the *self-sacrificial love of the Father,* the eternal Spirit who "came down from heaven" _without leaving heaven,_ and who manifested _himself_ on earth in genuine human form, as _his own_ Son, *so that he could lay down **_his own_** life for us,* raise _himself_ from the dead, and give eternal life to all who believe on _him_ - the one true _unipersonal_ God, whose name is revealed to be the name which is above _every_ name: *JESUS.*
@@UrbanLogiaMinistries The Father's self-sacrificial love for us is not something I imposed upon the text. The Father's self-sacrificial love for us is the gospel revealed through the Spirit _by way OF_ the text. But you'll never receive the revelation of the Father's self-sacrificial love as long as you read the text with the carnal-minded "Father and Son are two distinct persons" veil over your face.
The trinitarian God is demonstrably a false God. A couple of simple proofs...
1. God - the only _true_ God - is love (1 John 4:8,16), and he laid down his own life for us (1 John 3:16), which is the greatest demonstration of love (John 15:13). The trinitarian "Father" did _not_ lay down _his_ own life for us, so the trinitarian "Father" is _not_ love, and therefore the trinitarian "Father" is a _false_ God.
2. Jesus has a God (Mt.27:46, Mk.15:34, Jn.20:17, Rev.3:12), and the God of Jesus is a singular person. _Trinitarians_ have a God, and the God of _trinitarians_ is _not_ a singular person. Since Jesus' _unipersonal_ God is the only _true_ God (Jn.17:1-3), the trinitarians' _multipersonal_ God is *necessarily* a _false_ God.
There's only one true God, and *he* is a *unipersonal* Spirit (John 4:24), who manifested *himself* on earth in genuine human form (1 Timothy 3:16), so that *he* could lay down *his* own life for us.
Repent of the heresy of trinitarianism and receive the revelation of the Father's true, self-sacrificial love (a love which even Gino Jennings and his followers are blind to).
@@UrbanLogiaMinistries I do not deny "the deity of the Son"...even though I never use that phrase, as it's rather vague. "The deity of the Son" could apply to a "Son" who is one of _several_ deities and/or a "Son" who is some kind of _subordinate_ deity. The phrase should be abandoned, in my opinion.
In my initial comment I said "the Father...'came down from heaven' _without leaving heaven,_ and...manifested _himself_ on earth in genuine human form, as _his own_ Son...". In other words, *the Son **_IS_** the Father - the **_ONLY_** true God - manifested in genuine human form.* How much more "deity" can you get than that?
What I deny is a "Son" who is one out of three coequal, coeternal "deity" persons, because that "Son" is not the Son who is revealed in the scriptures.
Genesis 1 is Lucifer and the fallen angels. They made man in their image. Man is an idol, a trap for angels. One Gospel: Gospel 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.
This was excellent. Thank you for explaining the Trinity with such clarity.
God bless you my bro blessed to hear sound teaching.
Excellent teaching of the truth about the trinity!!! Bless you brother!!!

Brother Damon this lesson was truly amazing and I have been blessed by it GOD bless you dear brother
such a great TEACHER!!!!!!!!
This was so good. You teach in such a way that even those that are babes in Christ can comprehend. Thank you for that ❤
Great word, my brother! Gino Jennings pride will never allow him to have a discussion with anybody who actually knows the scriptures! AM I RIGHTTTTT!😂
Dr. Richardson, Is it possible for us to be made aware of your speaking engagements? It would be an honor to see you teach live and I’m sure people are willing to travel. Thank you.
I appreciate that you play no games about the scriptures. Thank you for wonderful teaching!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
A masterclass by Richardson on this essential doctrine.
My bro got lean!!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 that’s what’s up boss!!! I see you 😎 I’m catching up
Thank you for posting this video. Your insight has been a blessing to me in the past and now.
