Greetings my Brother from a very small Church of Christ in Alabama! I was an atheist for 20 years and 3 years ago I went to this small Church. Now my wife and son are Christian's and I'll be preaching my first lesson in 2 weeks. Your a very talented speaker sir and I sure enjoyed your lesson. Y'all stay safe and God bless
Even though truth is shared and supported by God's Word, many STILL don't "see." It's my frequent prayer that God opens minds and hearts to hear, believe, repent, confess, be baptized, and remain faithful...serving in His Church...mentioned in the Bible.
The Church is Not a building it’s people, that’s in Christ born again of water throw faith n believing in Jesus the Son of the Most High GOD. Praise and Glory Lord God. God Bless Y’all 🙏🏼 Peace
The person who said you got it wrong about we,re all going to hell maybe should read more. I call it hades, which is the holding place too. Same as hell. Guess we,ll all find out sooner or later. God bless you Bro. WILLIAMS.
My name is Tamra Means, I am a member of the Church Christ. This was a great lesson! But we can't stop at Just Hearing, Believing and being Being Baptized. God's Plan Of Salvation is for us to Hear the Word: Romans 10:17 Believe(what you hear): Mark 16:15-16 Repent: Acts 17:30 Confess That Jesus Is Lord: Romans 10:9 Be Baptized: (Into Christ Death, Burial and Resurrection) Acts 22:16, 1Peter 3:21, Galatians 3:26-27 Live Faithful Until Death: Revelation 2:10
Thank you for this. So much unnecessary confusion in this world when it comes to how to serve God. When it comes down to it, the Bible is meant for everyone to understand, and if we truly trust in God, we'll take every word literally as it's meant to be.
I just found your UA-cam Channel Evangelist Williams and I’m blown away. I belong to a baptist church in MI and I have a great Pastor, but you’ve opened my eyes. Very deep teaching. God bless your Ministry and I will be watching more 🙏🏼❤️
GM. It was a great pleasure to read that you now understand truth concerning the one church. I am a member of the church of Christ. If I understand MI, I would like to invite you to the church of Christ to learn more about Christ’s Church. I attend the church of Christ located in Coconut Grove. 3345 Douglas road, Miami, Fl. 33133. If you do not live in Miami, then please locate a Church of Christ in your area. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Just beginning in listening to the lesson but I would first begin with an answer of identifying the phrase 'church of Christ.' When members of the church of Christ say the church of Christ is the only church going to heaven...in their mind they are only speaking of, or should only be thinking of, just that...the church of/belonging to Christ as found in the N.T. However, what I think we fail to do is not to see the question in the manner of others because they are thinking denominationally. A 'Church of Christ' denomination. So it comes across to them as saying "My denomination is the only denomination among all other denominations that is going to heaven." No, we're saying the church of Christ...and no denomination. One is speaking and thinking Biblically...one is speaking and thinking denominationally. We talk past each other. But we do need to then ask...what is the church of Christ and how is it identified.
Interestingly enough, the Church has multiple designators such Church of God (1 Cor 1:2, 2 Cor 1:1, Gal 1), Church of the First Born, the Way, etc, Church of the Gentiles, not just Church of Christ. But the way many in the COC talk, it definitely sounds like a denomination. So i see why many outside and many in the COC feel the way they do.
Luke 16:23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’ Doesn't sound like the rich man and Lazarus were in the same place. Plus, this is a parable told by Jesus to make a point. Seems like this preacher is confusing Hell with Hades.
Right on point here Brother! That scripture is being taken completely out of context! The rich man and Lazarus are NOT in the same place! He’s interpreting hell and hades as one in the same here!!
Sheol, Tartarus, hell, hades etc…. It seems like you’ve missed the point, and as far as men on earth and our knowledge of heavenly things, this description fits the best that I’ve heard. Note that the rich man was able to speak to Abraham through a chasm, they could not cross doesn’t seem like they were too far away from each other. What did Isaac who said his soul would go down to Sheol if he lost his other child besides, just Joseph, who he didn’t know was alive. Notice he said down. And I’m pretty sure he will eventually be going to heaven. And I will assume at my own risk that he’s in paradise currently. God also talks about not being able to hide from him and the sea Hilson leviathan and I’ll find you in the earth and hell if need be I just encourage you to read the entire Bible and I pray that God blesses you with his understanding. In Jesus name amen
Hi my brother! I am a member of Church of Christ in Lesotho. I am glad to find your channel and am now more than convinced that Church of Christ is the only true Church of God❤
I am so proud to be in the Church of Christ. Thank you for this message. I see things a whole lot clearer. Praise the mighty name of Jesus. May God continue to Bless you and your ministry.
I’m a Bible believing baptist and based on my study of church history, rampant heresies abound from all of these little sects that were started in America. Aka JW, church of Christ, Mormons etc.. Based on my understanding, I believe that there are tons of truly saved, born again brothers and sisters throughout all denominations, despite bad doctrine. Church of Christ included.
The problem with your conclusion is that you are accepting the teaching that denominations are not sinful. The Bible...( I Corinthians 1:10-13) clearly restricts denominations or the idea of multiple churches. The Church of Christ is not a sect/ but the Body of Christ.
The Church of God is referred to over 15 times in the New Testament. If the Church of Christ is the only church that means everyone who goes to hell is because no one in the Church of Christ witnessed to them. I am not saying the churches that call themselves Church of Christ are bad. I am saying if they say they are the only Church then it is solely their responsibility to help people get saved. And I have yet to find a Church of Christ that has a witness program. By the way, I go to a Church of Christ and have for the past 20 years. I have Baptist friends and Pentecostal friends.Those people during the week while not in church, you hear them praising God, and telling how God has blessed them, and out of all 20 years of going to the Church of Christ, I have yet to hear any of the members even bring up God's name during the week. So we need to search for ourselves and be true to Jesus Christ and not a church.
Thank you for replying. I'm sorry to hear that you are not surrounded around professing Christians. To answer your question: there are many witnessing programs all over the country. We just traveled from the midwest from a program. We did not make up the "ONE CHURCH" Please examine: Ephesians 4:4; I Corinthians 1:10-11; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Ephesians 1:20-23; Matthew 16:18. The Bible clearly teaches one church. We believe that we should teach what the Bible Teaches. Also we believe that Jesus is God. So the term Church of God is still referring to Jesus. We can not lie to people letting them know any church will do. That is false.
I was raised in the church of christ. O started going a Baptist church. They worship the same God as the people in the church of christ. My dad now tells me that im going hell. And that i am lost. Thats not a very good feeling. But i feel closer to God now then i ever have
This is for any COC preacher, elder, or member that wants to interpret three verses, if you have the courage. These verses are: Romans 4:15, Romans 5:10, and Romans 5:13.
You have to go back to Romans Chapter 2 in order to understand these verses you picked out. You are taking them out of context. Abraham was before the Mosaic Law but he still was under the Patriarchal Law. As a matter of fact a person needs to read the story of Abraham in Genesis to get an understanding of Romans Chapter 2-5. What you are trying to say is that the Law has been done away with. If you focus on the Romans 5:10 and 5:13 then you would be correct however read on to Chapter 6. Sin still exist which means that a person will still be under a Law. Paul even says this in Chapter 6 because he talks about if we sin more then grace will abound more. He says not to. For more information read Romans Chapter 1 and the list of sins that will cause you not to make Heaven. Is this not Law? It is. And the list is not just for non-Christians but for all.
@@jamesstrohl2016 Rom 10:4 2 Cor chapter 3 Gal 3:23-29 Gal 5:1-4 Col 2:14 We are not under the law of Moses. We are under a BETTER covenant with BETTER promises= Heb 8:6-13 ** Heb 9:16-17** Jesus will came in after death
Rom 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Hades and Hell are two different places. Hades is the same place all go and there is a distinction even before the judgement before heaven or hell. English translations are good...but do not replace the Greek.
2nd Thessalonians 2,14: "Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours."
Hell has a duel reference: #1 Hell refers to Gahenna where two sides exist; separated by a great gulf. The name of one side is Paradise/Place of comfort and the other side is Tatarus/Place of torment. So that description of hell refers to the Hadean world...Both places are temporal in length until the final confirmation of all things... #2 Hell's second reference is Sheol/Bottomless pit where the Devil/Saten, his angels, and the unbelievers shall be cast into an everlasting flame, which burneth with fire and brimstone, where the worm dieth not, and the fire not quenched...
Hi Homer, where did you learn this? Why did Jesus say in Luke 16:19-31 that the rich man ‘looked up’ to where Abraham and Lazarus were? This gulf must be vertical and not horizontal - yes? I appreciate you for the time you take to answer my question in advance.
You have it mixed it. The word hell has 4 meanings. 1.She'ol H7585 (hell) is O.T. 2.Hades G86 (hell) is N.T. These 2 are basically the same place, "grave, pit, place of departed souls, world of the dead" 3. Tartarus G5020 (hell) is where the angels are 4. Gehenna G1067 (hell) is everlasting (permanent) hell *Here are the scriptures* 1. Psamls 16:10 2. Luke 16:23 3. 2 Peter 2:4 4. Matthew 10:28 📖🙏
It is not what does the Bible say, but what does the NEW TESTAMENT of JESUS SAY. The New Testament begins in Acts 2, Acts 2:42 2 John 9-11 verses John 7:16, not back in Mathew-John describing Jesus before the Cross teaching only the Law of Moses. Mathew 5:17-18 Mathew 7:12 Romans 15:8 King James version. The first day of the week is only mentioned twice in the entire new testament. Acts 20:7 1 Corinthians 16:1-2 . You can Partake of The Lords Supper and Worship God any day not just the first day of the week.1 Corinthians 11:24-26
It's not about which Church is right. It's about each individual living righteously for Christ. Do you visit those in Prison. Do you feed the hungry? Are you a father to the fatherless? Or do you live for pleasure as the Unsaved world does?
Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Gal 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Gal 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. I have not received what you have said from the apostles; what I received from them was: Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. I cannot have unity with a group of people who do not believe the same thing unless one of us changes. Let’s say that I change my mind, then we also cannot be unified with God’s word if his word says there is one body (church) and I agree with the statement that it’s not about which church is right. We cannot reconcile your statement unless it changes to agree with what God’s word said. The statement you made cannot be reconciled, so it must be discarded and with it, all of the implications of the notion of such a thing of more than one body (church) existing.
There's a lot of preachers who would disagree with you about what Hell is, who are just as certain they are right about it as you. So aside from dying, how do you determine who is right?
Don't compare preacher to preacher. The scriptures given in the sermon are from the Bible. Take those scriptures and study for yourself to see if the Bible actually says those things. The Bible determines what is right, not man.
"The Only Church Going to Heaven" embodies a misconception. There are not different Churches. The NT never uses ekklesia (church) to refer to a denomination. There is only 1 Church, the Body of Christ composed of those who have trusted the Lord Jesus as Savior & thus been SPIRIT baptized into that Body. Membership in the Body & Bride of Christ (the Church) is not a matter of belonging to some earthly organization.
@@NorthColonyCoC an earthly body about the return of the new Jerusalem not a denomination. Remember the gospel of the gentiles was preached by Paul when the disciples of God were old. The spent their time preaching to the Jews only . You are saying that all those who have died before then are not saved and all Christians who do not go to your church shall not be saved. Ephesians 5:30, KJV: "For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. That's why Jesus died , we are not righteous and holy to stand before God. Romans 3:23 "for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" the precious sacrifice of God makes us able to stand in the presence of God. John 3 : 16 for God so loved the world that he gave is only begotten son , that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. If you accept Jesus then your saved that's the Goodnews. In the new testament while Paul was preaching the message of grace to the gentiles ( me and you because we are not Jews) the disciples were only preaching to Jews. So if truely you think you it is a specific type of people then it's the Jews only but the Bible makes it clear that we are children of the covenant made with Isreal and in the last day the lord shall make peace with Isreal. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband Revelation 21: 2. Christianity is not a religion it is about the fellowship of God through intimacy with the Holy Spirit. Jesus died so we can have spirit of God that Adam lost in Genesis so that we be able to communicate with him anywhere and everywhere. God bless you
@Stephanie it not about a specific type a people he’s only referencIng The Church (Colossians 14-24). Ask yourself what identifies you as the church. The blood of Jesus saves so what connects to the blood of Jesus and removes sin? (1John 1:7; Acts 2:38). You can not ignore scriptures. Baptism is instruction given by God and you receive something - and your added by God to the Church (Acts 2:38, 47). The beginning of Ephesians (1:1-2) confirms who he is talking to which are saints/including the faithful which are those who obey (Ephesians 5:1) and even describes what gospel was followed and he reminds throughout the Bible (Galatians 1:6-9) what should be taught followed. Jesus died for all and saves all those who believe and obey like he states in Mark 16:16 and Matthew 28:19-20. If you believe what he says (faith) you will obey. James 2:17-20. The church is a relationship - the bride is chosen but the bride must also decide to come. That’s why he made it a comparison to marriage - will you submit. Romans 8:16 even the Holy Spirit checks your spirit to see if you are a child of God...the relationship exist in obedience.
1 Corinthians 1:10-13 "10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?" If one is of scripture, they will use it to prove that they are of scripture, or of God. 1 Corinthians is the beginning of denominations. Why be part of a church called "Saint Michael's Episcopal Church" Why be part of a church called "Saint Anselm Catholic Church" Why be part of a church called "Baptist Church" Why be part of a church called "United Methodist Church" These churches are either named after someone else other than Christ or it uses names like Methodist, which is not in the scripture. We have to stop going by what we think or feel and by what is written for that is what Christ is going to do. Revelations 20:12 "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." At least one could start their search with a church that is in the scripture: Romans 16:16 -- "Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you. "
WELDON Pastor kindly help to understand this txt Mk 9:38-39 But let's me ask, don't be offended the name church of christ safe life? Because we have different names Assembly of God, first born church, Body of christ, Bride of christ, church of God, church of the living God and so forth thanks are they also not going to Heaven?
Those are descriptive names and not the name. Acts 4:12 let's us know that there is one name unto salvation. Every other name is describing the Church. Ephesians 4:4 - states there is one Church. So your question about "THEY" is confusing.
My wife and I just experienced our conversion to the church of Christ back in May. I grew up in assembly of God in Garland Texas back in the 80's and they preached faith based salvation. They succeed in misguiding me because I never listened to momma when she said to me numerous times, "son don't listen to that preacher up there, we here to worship God and read His Word" I then insisted "but momma he say we just gotta believe in Jesus' death burial and resurrection" to which momma again said "read your Bible!" I never listened, I just cherry picked verses to serve my own desire in cutting folks wrongly. I am just now reading The Divinely Inspired Scriptures from cover to cover, currently in Exodus so this lesson you presenting is new to me. Your congregation seems large from my tiny phone screen so can I ask if y'all share one cup one loaf on our Lord's Day?
COC's doctrine puts Baptism in front of a relationship with Jesus... As a COC when did you recognize you loved Jesus? Or can you ONLY say the date you got baptized? When did you experience the love of Jesus? Or are you just religious through baptism to keep from going to hell? What about the Thief on the Cross?
Thank you for your questions. Your questions, accusatory and full of assumptions, are not true. So, to attempt to answer your question, would give the assumptions you made validity. And because they are not true or valid, we can only conclude you made a mistake and asked your questions on the wrong video. Blessings...
The gulf is the space between Abrahams Bosom and Hell. We know that hell is beneath as the rich man looked up to see: 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. Hell is spoken of in the bible more often than Heaven. We know that the pit is beneath us. Number 16 talks about hell as the pit. The Bible also talks about the comforter which will teach you all thing John 14:26 KJV. We need more than baptism. We need the Holy Ghost. So we can understand the word of the lord for ourselves.
1Pe 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. the problem is that many people who joined a church, do not do their own bible study they are to caught up in the world and the world takes all their time, many make time to be in church on Sunday and whatever they get from Sunday school and preaching is all they will have for the coming week. if you do not study God's Word for yourself then your faith will be weak, and you will not be able to give an answer. Act 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. The Holy Ghost is only given to those who obey, and bible study in and of itself will not avail me anything without the Spirit guiding me, as I hide God's Word in my heart when I am studying, the Holy Ghost can bring scripture or several to my remembrance that goes with that which I am studying giving me further insight into His Word so that it is not just me reading and forming my own opinions. You can take my opinions and toss them out the window, as they are just the opinions of man, the only thing that matters is God's unadulterated Word, which I believe was given to us in the KJV. I have to have a starting place, for me, that is The Word of God, and I have a 400+-year-old bible that has plenty of good fruit in those 400+ years of people being saved from the preaching of the Gospel from that Bible, also at least three great revivals came from the KJV as well, so it has enough fruit for me to consider it the Word of God in English.
I am a Christian. this time is the second time I heard this lesson preach by Brother Willie B. Williams. Thank you. If a person don’t understand, They aren’t paying attention. Thank you. Christian love.
No where in Luke does it say both men were in hell. 22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire."
I attend a “Church of Christ” but I will not condemn anyone who goes to a particular church until I see how it is organised and what it teaches. Many CoC’s lack proper organisation and doctrine and many churches with a different name have them. You judge each congregation and each person individually.
I believe the conversation is about does the bible even teach multiple churches or does the Bible teach 1 church. Organization and structure is important but is secondary. The acknowledgement that there is only one church is what the video was addressing. Accepting that someone broke the church in many different churches is the falsehood addressed in this video.
Wait. What? The body of Christ or the exclusive organized “Church of Christ?” Have you not read, Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, “I am of Paul,” and “I of Apollos,” and “I of Cephas,” and “I of Christ.” Has Christ been divided? 1 Corinthians 1:11 et seq. Get it right.
I heard a church of Christ elder say he doesn’t believe the gospel. 1 Corinthians Chapter 15 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Do you believe the gospel? Or are you the bad guys in Galations? Galatians 1:8 “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”
I see a capitalized C for church in front of Christ. Fine for being the beginning of a new sentence but not in the middle. Example; I attend the church of Christ on Maple Drive. That is proper.
What he don't understand is that judgment day is for the wicked, not the righteous. Judgment is not an instantaneous For everyone at the same time. All the wicked are judged individually at death. It is Appointed for man once to die and after he dies judgment.
The Bible is saying that the poor beggar was a righteous man. Being caught up into Abraham's bosom simply means Abraham embraced him and welcomed him into the kingdom of God. Therefore the poor beggar Lazareth was a righteous man. And the rich man was a ungotten man for mistreating the poor beggar.
Please watch these videos. Then tell me if this man is preaching the truth. (WVBS Where do I Go When I Die?} There are many more, including 'Why Are There So Many Churches?' and 'What Must I Do To Be Saved'. These are from the church of Christ. Just because a man preaches in a building with the Church of Christ written on it, doesn't mean he is preaching the truth. He may not be a bad person, but he is a false preacher. Check out the teaching of the church of Christ that you choose to worship with.

Hall Let us all know if you visited a church of Christ and praying that you obey the gospel and "Put on Christ" in baptism for the remission of sins and the Lord will add you to His church.
Hal Terrill Please attend a church of Christ they teach the truth on how to be saved. The denominations teach one to say the sinner's prayer and ask Jesus into your heart and this is not in the word of God.
So sad the man has failed to understand that our 1resurrected Jesus Christ is called our Savior for a reason. All who die believing in Jesus Christ go into the presence of Jesus Christ at death: 1 Thes 4:13-18. Read and study the Bible for yourself too. Those who reject Christ go to hell
We are tomeet around the lord s table on the first day of the week is Sunday. To partake of the bread and the fruit of the vine . The bread represents his broken body and the fruit of the vine that represents his blood that was shed for us.
That is not what the the Bible says. The rich Mand went to hell and Lazarus went to Abraham's bossom and it reads further. And says The rich man saw him a far off. That was indicating a different place. Then it also states. There was a great gulf fixed indicating 2 different places
Only those who are born again and have an ongoing relationship with Jesus are going to Heaven. I know several Churches of Christ people that don't even go to church nor have a relationship with Jesus but they say they were water baptized so they're saved. Nope.
Hell is a place, and don't believe otherwise! The Bible tells us that hell is eternal fire. This man needs to read his Bible and ask for wisdom. I pray that he will have a clearer understanding. He needs to read about the rich man again! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The hell everyone goes to after death, Luke 16:23, is not eternal fire, it has an expiration date, Revelation 20:14. Eternal fire is just that, eternal, Jude 1:7. It will keep going on and on and on for all eternity, it will never end.
The Church of Christ in general claims to follow the command to sings hymns and Psalms. Where are the Psalms sung in CoC churches. They are on youtube: "Psalm 23 to the Bay of Harris", etc.
Which religion are true according to the Bible in this world? Because many religions are not true according to the Bible, Mathew 7;21-23,1jonh 4:1,Roman's 10:1-3.
Of course it's the only church that is going to Heaven. But the denomination that calls themselves The Church Of Christ isn't the only ones going to Heaven. If they think they are then I'm not even sure if they are part of the church of Christ.
Hades is NOT Hell. It is a holding/staging area for all and the good and bad and are separated in a great Fix. They are in two different spots in Hades. Do NOT confuse this with Hell. Also this is a parable.
This is true. Jesus died, and went to hades. He did not go to hell. Brother Don Blackwell has a fantastic video about this on the GBN network. I believe it is called “What happens when we die.” I’m not hating on this minister. I agree with his understanding of hades, but that isn’t the hell that we know about. It is death, but hell isn’t temporary. It is the place prepared for the devil and his angels.
Gosh im from philippines but im trying my best to speak english in the way how our teachers guide us or God guide us ITS so clear says in roma 16:16 says we churches of christ are welcoming you im not gonna say all the proof just ask the teachers and take the doctrine
Let's be honest, we don't know who keep a relationship with God and who will be faithful to the end. We also don't know where dead people are in the afterlife because we aren't God and we don't know.

If You do not rightly divide Gods word by the Covenants You are not in the body of Christ, because there is only 1 Faith Ephesians 4:4-6 Acts 2-Revelation 22 is the Complete new testament of Jesus, and if You depart from the Faith Your out. 1 Timothy 4:1-3 Mathew-John describing Jesus before the Cross is NOT THE FAITH, it is the Law of Moses. Galatians 4:4-5 Mathew 5:17-18 Mathew 7:12 Mathew 10:5-6 Mathew 15:24 Acts 2:42 2 John 9-11 verses John 7:16 John 6:38. If You follow Jesus before the Cross You have fallen from New Testament grace. Galatians 5:4 Romans 15:8 King James version 2 Corinthians 5:16 It is HIGH TIME People TEACH THIS TRUTH
Did the apostles or Jesus teach the church ⛪️ of Christ ? Meaning did they teach the people that they must go to a place with the name church of christ on it?
Yes. They were to ASSEMBLE with each other (church of Christ).. The sign allows the WORLD to know who we are. Stop thinking about the sign because the church of Christ doctrine is in the Bible and because we go by “church of Christ “ shows we are closer to the truth then those who do not follow after the examples in the Bible
Greetings my Brother from a very small Church of Christ in Alabama! I was an atheist for 20 years and 3 years ago I went to this small Church. Now my wife and son are Christian's and I'll be preaching my first lesson in 2 weeks. Your a very talented speaker sir and I sure enjoyed your lesson. Y'all stay safe and God bless
God bless you! Stay Strong!
Praise the Lord, some more sheep's have found there way. Hallelujah. Glory to GOD
Amen
Praise our God brother BIG MAC! God is indeed good. My name is Tame Means and I'm grateful to hear that you have been added to The Body Of Christ❣️
Blessings from Church of Christ...Botswana,Broadhurst
You are lost. Don’t misguide people
Great, Accurate sermon! Thank you so much for reminding us where we need to be for when Christ returns!
Even though truth is shared and supported by God's Word, many STILL don't "see." It's my frequent prayer that God opens minds and hearts to hear, believe, repent, confess, be baptized, and remain faithful...serving in His Church...mentioned in the Bible.
Well done, brother. I was baptized 32 years ago and you make it just as sweet today.
You were baptized, but we're you saved also?
Well done brother!
The Church is Not a building it’s people, that’s in Christ born again of water throw faith n believing in Jesus the Son of the Most High GOD.
Praise and Glory
Lord God.
God Bless Y’all 🙏🏼
Peace
This is so beautiful . I'm 9 year old and this let's me see I can become a Christian
Yes you can. Christ desires a relationship with you! Glory
@@NorthColonyCoC this is a great lesson. Blessed be God the Father of Jesus Christ. Our Lord and Savior. We want to be the Sheep.
The person who said you got it wrong about we,re all going to hell maybe should read more. I call it hades, which is the holding place too. Same as hell. Guess we,ll all find out sooner or later. God bless you Bro. WILLIAMS.
This pastor has a unique gift that gives you a different angle of understanding the word of GOD more CLEARLY and in GREAT detail !!!
Great Job Preacher! Way to stand on the truth
My Brother keeping preaching Truth.
Thank you for proclaiming the TRUTH. GOD BLESS YOUR WORK.
A beautiful lesson and any child can understand.
Wonderful lesson. Thank You Brother for this very uplifting message.
I love this church. Heaven is beautiful ❤️
Excellent sermon! Thank you!
Glad to have you my brthren in the church of Christ.
My name is Tamra Means, I am a member of the Church Christ. This was a great lesson! But we can't stop at Just Hearing, Believing and being Being Baptized. God's Plan Of Salvation is for us to
Hear the Word: Romans 10:17
Believe(what you hear): Mark 16:15-16
Repent: Acts 17:30
Confess That Jesus Is Lord: Romans 10:9
Be Baptized: (Into Christ Death, Burial and Resurrection) Acts 22:16, 1Peter 3:21, Galatians 3:26-27
Live Faithful Until Death: Revelation 2:10
Beautiful sermon. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome
Thank you for this. So much unnecessary confusion in this world when it comes to how to serve God. When it comes down to it, the Bible is meant for everyone to understand, and if we truly trust in God, we'll take every word literally as it's meant to be.
Great and simple lessons. Even a child can understand .
Thank you Pastor Williams for preaching the truth.
God bless you Bro Williams. May God increase you richly
I just found your UA-cam Channel Evangelist Williams and I’m blown away. I belong to a baptist church in MI and I have a great Pastor, but you’ve opened my eyes. Very deep teaching. God bless your Ministry and I will be watching more 🙏🏼❤️
Amen
Please keep listing to him you want regret the out come if you understand the truth and except it.
GM. It was a great pleasure to read that you now understand truth concerning the one church. I am a member of the church of Christ. If I understand MI, I would like to invite you to the church of Christ to learn more about Christ’s Church. I attend the church of Christ located in Coconut Grove. 3345 Douglas road, Miami, Fl. 33133. If you do not live in Miami, then please locate a Church of Christ in your area. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Just beginning in listening to the lesson but I would first begin with an answer of identifying the phrase 'church of Christ.' When members of the church of Christ say the church of Christ is the only church going to heaven...in their mind they are only speaking of, or should only be thinking of, just that...the church of/belonging to Christ as found in the N.T. However, what I think we fail to do is not to see the question in the manner of others because they are thinking denominationally. A 'Church of Christ' denomination. So it comes across to them as saying "My denomination is the only denomination among all other denominations that is going to heaven." No, we're saying the church of Christ...and no denomination. One is speaking and thinking Biblically...one is speaking and thinking denominationally. We talk past each other. But we do need to then ask...what is the church of Christ and how is it identified.
Interestingly enough, the Church has multiple designators such Church of God (1 Cor 1:2, 2 Cor 1:1, Gal 1), Church of the First Born, the Way, etc, Church of the Gentiles, not just Church of Christ. But the way many in the COC talk, it definitely sounds like a denomination. So i see why many outside and many in the COC feel the way they do.
Luke 16:23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’
Doesn't sound like the rich man and Lazarus were in the same place. Plus, this is a parable told by Jesus to make a point.
Seems like this preacher is confusing Hell with Hades.
Right on point here Brother! That scripture is being taken completely out of context! The rich man and Lazarus are NOT in the same place! He’s interpreting hell and hades as one in the same here!!
Sheol, Tartarus, hell, hades etc…. It seems like you’ve missed the point, and as far as men on earth and our knowledge of heavenly things, this description fits the best that I’ve heard. Note that the rich man was able to speak to Abraham through a chasm, they could not cross doesn’t seem like they were too far away from each other. What did Isaac who said his soul would go down to Sheol if he lost his other child besides, just Joseph, who he didn’t know was alive. Notice he said down. And I’m pretty sure he will eventually be going to heaven. And I will assume at my own risk that he’s in paradise currently. God also talks about not being able to hide from him and the sea Hilson leviathan and I’ll find you in the earth and hell if need be I just encourage you to read the entire Bible and I pray that God blesses you with his understanding. In Jesus name amen
Forgive my spelling errors and grammar my phone is not user-friendly for me
Keep teaching truth preacher.
I love your message ❤️ thank you Jesus
Hi my brother! I am a member of Church of Christ in Lesotho. I am glad to find your channel and am now more than convinced that Church of Christ is the only true Church of God❤
I am so proud to be in the Church of Christ. Thank you for this message. I see things a whole lot clearer. Praise the mighty name of Jesus. May God continue to Bless you and your ministry.
The church is in you. Just because a church building or group has named itself the church of Christ does not make it the only church of saved souls.
AGREEEEED!!!
I completely agree!
The body of christ consists of all born again believers that are trusting and salvation for Jesus Christ
All churches have error.
#TheWholeTruth!
I’m a Bible believing baptist and based on my study of church history, rampant heresies abound from all of these little sects that were started in America. Aka JW, church of Christ, Mormons etc.. Based on my understanding, I believe that there are tons of truly saved, born again brothers and sisters throughout all denominations, despite bad doctrine. Church of Christ included.
The problem with your conclusion is that you are accepting the teaching that denominations are not sinful. The Bible...( I Corinthians 1:10-13) clearly restricts denominations or the idea of multiple churches. The Church of Christ is not a sect/ but the Body of Christ.
Feeling good listening to you Evan. Willie
Bro. Williams, you are definitely God's servant.
Thank you a lot this is wonderful it has enlighten my spirit. I'm saying Hi from Nigeria God bless you.
Love your truth in preaching. From Northport church of Christ. ALABAMA
There is no division in The Body of Jesus Christ.
Thank you for the lesson my brother, I thank God that I was blessed to have grown up in The Church of Christ 🙏☝️💪😊
The Church of God is referred to over 15 times in the New Testament. If the Church of Christ is the only church that means everyone who goes to hell is because no one in the Church of Christ
witnessed to them. I am not saying the churches that call themselves Church of Christ are bad. I am saying if they say they are the only Church then it is solely their responsibility to help people get
saved. And I have yet to find a Church of Christ that has a witness program. By the way, I go to a Church of Christ and have for the past 20 years. I have Baptist friends and Pentecostal friends.Those
people during the week while not in church, you hear them praising God, and telling how God has blessed them, and out of all 20 years of going to the Church of Christ, I have yet to hear any of the members even bring up God's name during the week. So we need to search for ourselves and be true to Jesus Christ and not a church.
Thank you for replying. I'm sorry to hear that you are not surrounded around professing Christians. To answer your question: there are many witnessing programs all over the country. We just traveled from the midwest from a program. We did not make up the "ONE CHURCH" Please examine: Ephesians 4:4; I Corinthians 1:10-11; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Ephesians 1:20-23; Matthew 16:18.
The Bible clearly teaches one church. We believe that we should teach what the Bible Teaches. Also we believe that Jesus is God. So the term Church of God is still referring to Jesus. We can not lie to people letting them know any church will do. That is false.
Strong with the faith of church of Christ.
As a member of the church of Christ this would be extremely good to show to some non church of Christ people
I was raised in the church of christ. O started going a Baptist church. They worship the same God as the people in the church of christ. My dad now tells me that im going hell. And that i am lost. Thats not a very good feeling. But i feel closer to God now then i ever have
Thank you for the lesson.The bible say in the book of John 8-32 you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
Grateful for this lesson 😊
So glad!
Bringing questions that the world doesn’t even know about.. thank your brother for teaching the truth!!
This is for any COC preacher, elder, or member that wants to interpret three verses, if you have the courage. These verses are: Romans 4:15, Romans 5:10, and Romans 5:13.
You have to go back to Romans Chapter 2 in order to understand these verses you picked out. You are taking them out of context.
Abraham was before the Mosaic Law but he still was under the Patriarchal Law. As a matter of fact a person needs to read the story of Abraham in Genesis to get an understanding of Romans Chapter 2-5.
What you are trying to say is that the Law has been done away with. If you focus on the Romans 5:10 and 5:13 then you would be correct however read on to Chapter 6.
Sin still exist which means that a person will still be under a Law. Paul even says this in Chapter 6 because he talks about if we sin more then grace will abound more. He says not to.
For more information read Romans Chapter 1 and the list of sins that will cause you not to make Heaven. Is this not Law? It is. And the list is not just for non-Christians but for all.
@@jamesstrohl2016 Rom 10:4
2 Cor chapter 3
Gal 3:23-29
Gal 5:1-4
Col 2:14
We are not under the law of Moses. We are under a BETTER covenant with BETTER promises= Heb 8:6-13
** Heb 9:16-17** Jesus will came in after death
Rom 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Hades and Hell are two different places. Hades is the same place all go and there is a distinction even before the judgement before heaven or hell. English translations are good...but do not replace the Greek.
Brother you are opening my eyes
2nd Thessalonians 2,14: "Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours."
Hell has a duel reference: #1 Hell refers to Gahenna where two sides exist; separated by a great gulf. The name of one side is Paradise/Place of comfort and the other side is Tatarus/Place of torment. So that description of hell refers to the Hadean world...Both places are temporal in length until the final confirmation of all things...
#2 Hell's second reference is Sheol/Bottomless pit where the Devil/Saten, his angels, and the unbelievers shall be cast into an everlasting flame, which burneth with fire and brimstone, where the worm dieth not, and the fire not quenched...
Hi Homer, where did you learn this?
Why did Jesus say in Luke 16:19-31 that the rich man ‘looked up’ to where Abraham and Lazarus were?
This gulf must be vertical and not horizontal - yes?
I appreciate you for the time you take to answer my question in advance.
You have it mixed it. The word hell has 4 meanings.
1.She'ol H7585 (hell) is O.T.
2.Hades G86 (hell) is N.T.
These 2 are basically the same place, "grave, pit, place of departed souls, world of the dead"
3. Tartarus G5020 (hell) is where the angels are
4. Gehenna G1067 (hell) is everlasting (permanent) hell

It is not what does the Bible say, but what does the NEW TESTAMENT of JESUS SAY. The New Testament begins in Acts 2, Acts 2:42 2 John 9-11 verses John 7:16, not back in Mathew-John describing Jesus before the Cross teaching only the Law of Moses. Mathew 5:17-18 Mathew 7:12 Romans 15:8 King James version. The first day of the week is only mentioned twice in the entire new testament. Acts 20:7 1 Corinthians 16:1-2 . You can Partake of The Lords Supper and Worship God any day not just the first day of the week.1 Corinthians 11:24-26
Wrong what about hacts 2:27 each first day of the week 🤔
Acts 20:7
Jésus Saïd on the first days of the week We met to break the bread. Do this in rememberance of me. Amen
It's not about which Church is right. It's about each individual living righteously for Christ. Do you visit those in Prison. Do you feed the hungry? Are you a father to the fatherless? Or do you live for pleasure as the Unsaved world does?
Read Galatians 1:8-9. Paul has the ONE true gospel, not Peter and the 11 who taught only Jews.
Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Gal 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
I have not received what you have said from the apostles; what I received from them was:
Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
I cannot have unity with a group of people who do not believe the same thing unless one of us changes.
Let’s say that I change my mind, then we also cannot be unified with God’s word if his word says there is one body (church) and I agree with the statement that it’s not about which church is right. We cannot reconcile your statement unless it changes to agree with what God’s word said.
The statement you made cannot be reconciled, so it must be discarded and with it, all of the implications of the notion of such a thing of more than one body (church) existing.
There's a lot of preachers who would disagree with you about what Hell is, who are just as certain they are right about it as you. So aside from dying, how do you determine who is right?
Don't compare preacher to preacher. The scriptures given in the sermon are from the Bible. Take those scriptures and study for yourself to see if the Bible actually says those things. The Bible determines what is right, not man.
"The Only Church Going to Heaven" embodies a misconception. There are not different Churches. The NT never uses ekklesia (church) to refer to a denomination. There is only 1 Church, the Body of Christ composed of those who have trusted the Lord Jesus as Savior & thus been SPIRIT baptized into that Body. Membership in the Body & Bride of Christ (the Church) is not a matter of belonging to some earthly organization.
Actually it is, the Heavenly body is connected to the earthly body. Also, denominations is not mentioned in the Bible (Ephesians 3:15, 21)
@@NorthColonyCoC an earthly body about the return of the new Jerusalem not a denomination. Remember the gospel of the gentiles was preached by Paul when the disciples of God were old. The spent their time preaching to the Jews only . You are saying that all those who have died before then are not saved and all Christians who do not go to your church shall not be saved. Ephesians 5:30, KJV: "For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. That's why Jesus died , we are not righteous and holy to stand before God. Romans 3:23 "for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" the precious sacrifice of God makes us able to stand in the presence of God. John 3 : 16 for God so loved the world that he gave is only begotten son , that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. If you accept Jesus then your saved that's the Goodnews. In the new testament while Paul was preaching the message of grace to the gentiles ( me and you because we are not Jews) the disciples were only preaching to Jews. So if truely you think you it is a specific type of people then it's the Jews only but the Bible makes it clear that we are children of the covenant made with Isreal and in the last day the lord shall make peace with Isreal. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband Revelation 21: 2.
Christianity is not a religion it is about the fellowship of God through intimacy with the Holy Spirit. Jesus died so we can have spirit of God that Adam lost in Genesis so that we be able to communicate with him anywhere and everywhere. God bless you
@Stephanie it not about a specific type a people he’s only referencIng The Church (Colossians 14-24). Ask yourself what identifies you as the church. The blood of Jesus saves so what connects to the blood of Jesus and removes sin? (1John 1:7; Acts 2:38). You can not ignore scriptures. Baptism is instruction given by God and you receive something - and your added by God to the Church (Acts 2:38, 47). The beginning of Ephesians (1:1-2) confirms who he is talking to which are saints/including the faithful which are those who obey (Ephesians 5:1) and even describes what gospel was followed and he reminds throughout the Bible (Galatians 1:6-9) what should be taught followed. Jesus died for all and saves all those who believe and obey like he states in Mark 16:16 and Matthew 28:19-20. If you believe what he says (faith) you will obey. James 2:17-20. The church is a relationship - the bride is chosen but the bride must also decide to come. That’s why he made it a comparison to marriage - will you submit. Romans 8:16 even the Holy Spirit checks your spirit to see if you are a child of God...the relationship exist in obedience.
@@lizevonne5037 Sorry Liz, your wrong....
1 Corinthians 1:10-13 "10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?"
If one is of scripture, they will use it to prove that they are of scripture, or of God. 1 Corinthians is the beginning of denominations. Why be part of a church called "Saint Michael's Episcopal Church" Why be part of a church called "Saint Anselm Catholic Church" Why be part of a church called "Baptist Church" Why be part of a church called "United Methodist Church" These churches are either named after someone else other than Christ or it uses names like Methodist, which is not in the scripture. We have to stop going by what we think or feel and by what is written for that is what Christ is going to do. Revelations 20:12 "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."
At least one could start their search with a church that is in the scripture:
Romans 16:16 -- "Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.
"
WELDON Pastor kindly help to understand this txt Mk 9:38-39
But let's me ask, don't be offended the name church of christ safe life?
Because we have different names Assembly of God, first born church, Body of christ, Bride of christ, church of God, church of the living God and so forth thanks are they also not going to Heaven?
Those are descriptive names and not the name. Acts 4:12 let's us know that there is one name unto salvation. Every other name is describing the Church. Ephesians 4:4 - states there is one Church. So your question about "THEY" is confusing.
Church of Christ for Life🔥😊
My wife and I just experienced our conversion to the church of Christ back in May. I grew up in assembly of God in Garland Texas back in the 80's and they preached faith based salvation. They succeed in misguiding me because I never listened to momma when she said to me numerous times, "son don't listen to that preacher up there, we here to worship God and read His Word" I then insisted "but momma he say we just gotta believe in Jesus' death burial and resurrection" to which momma again said "read your Bible!" I never listened, I just cherry picked verses to serve my own desire in cutting folks wrongly. I am just now reading The Divinely Inspired Scriptures from cover to cover, currently in Exodus so this lesson you presenting is new to me. Your congregation seems large from my tiny phone screen so can I ask if y'all share one cup one loaf on our Lord's Day?
Good sermon
COC's doctrine puts Baptism in front of a relationship with Jesus... As a COC when did you recognize you loved Jesus? Or can you ONLY say the date you got baptized? When did you experience the love of Jesus? Or are you just religious through baptism to keep from going to hell? What about the Thief on the Cross?
Thank you for your questions. Your questions, accusatory and full of assumptions, are not true. So, to attempt to answer your question, would give the assumptions you made validity. And because they are not true or valid, we can only conclude you made a mistake and asked your questions on the wrong video. Blessings...
The gulf is the space between Abrahams Bosom and Hell. We know that hell is beneath as the rich man looked up to see: 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Hell is spoken of in the bible more often than Heaven. We know that the pit is beneath us. Number 16 talks about hell as the pit. The Bible also talks about the comforter which will teach you all thing John 14:26 KJV. We need more than baptism. We need the Holy Ghost. So we can understand the word of the lord for ourselves.
when do you get the holy spirit? acts 2:38 jp
1Pe 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
the problem is that many people who joined a church, do not do their own bible study they are to caught up in the world and the world takes all their time, many make time to be in church on Sunday and whatever they get from Sunday school and preaching is all they will have for the coming week.
if you do not study God's Word for yourself then your faith will be weak, and you will not be able to give an answer.
Act 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
The Holy Ghost is only given to those who obey, and bible study in and of itself will not avail me anything without the Spirit guiding me, as I hide God's Word in my heart when I am studying, the Holy Ghost can bring scripture or several to my remembrance that goes with that which I am studying giving me further insight into His Word so that it is not just me reading and forming my own opinions.
You can take my opinions and toss them out the window, as they are just the opinions of man, the only thing that matters is God's unadulterated Word, which I believe was given to us in the KJV.
I have to have a starting place, for me, that is The Word of God, and I have a 400+-year-old bible that has plenty of good fruit in those 400+ years of people being saved from the preaching of the Gospel from that Bible, also at least three great revivals came from the KJV as well, so it has enough fruit for me to consider it the Word of God in English.
I am a Christian. this time is the second time I heard this lesson preach by Brother Willie B. Williams. Thank you. If a person don’t understand, They aren’t paying attention. Thank you. Christian love.
Church of Christ is the only way going to the kingdom of heaven!!! Church of christ!!! Philippines
No where in Luke does it say both men were in hell. 22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire."
I go to Parkview Church of Christ and I remember you were a guest speaker and I am thankful to have found your channel!!!
I attend a “Church of Christ” but I will not condemn anyone who goes to a particular church until I see how it is organised and what it teaches. Many CoC’s lack proper organisation and doctrine and many churches with a different name have them. You judge each congregation and each person individually.
I believe the conversation is about does the bible even teach multiple churches or does the Bible teach 1 church. Organization and structure is important but is secondary. The acknowledgement that there is only one church is what the video was addressing. Accepting that someone broke the church in many different churches is the falsehood addressed in this video.
Thank You Bro Williams for this message! Powerful message from God! Much love from, The SugarCreekCOC in Charlotte, NC
Thanks for listening
Wait. What? The body of Christ or the exclusive organized “Church of Christ?” Have you not read, Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, “I am of Paul,” and “I of Apollos,” and “I of Cephas,” and “I of Christ.” Has Christ been divided? 1 Corinthians 1:11 et seq. Get it right.
Same things.
Ephesians 1:22-23
Regardless how you slice it. You’ll never remove those Texts from the Bible.
Romans 16:16
Hâve a beautiful Sunday
Thanks very much for the words
I heard a church of Christ elder say he doesn’t believe the gospel.
1 Corinthians Chapter 15
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Do you believe the gospel? Or are you the bad guys in Galations?
Galatians 1:8
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”
I see a capitalized C for church in front of Christ.
Fine for being the beginning of a new sentence but not in the middle.
Example; I attend the church of Christ on Maple Drive. That is proper.
OK
What he don't understand is that judgment day is for the wicked, not the righteous. Judgment is not an instantaneous For everyone at the same time. All the wicked are judged individually at death. It is Appointed for man once to die and after he dies judgment.
Very helpful Amen
Love the Church of Christ
The Bible is saying that the poor beggar was a righteous man. Being caught up into Abraham's bosom simply means Abraham embraced him and welcomed him into the kingdom of God. Therefore the poor beggar Lazareth was a righteous man. And the rich man was a ungotten man for mistreating the poor beggar.
Hi I'm brother Felipe cabanos aka Philip San Jose from the Philippines church of Christ non instrumental music
Thank you so much for making this so simple to understand. May God continue to bless you always.
Glad it was helpful!
This was a very thought provoking sermon, thank you Bro. Williams for allowing the Spirit to use you.
Please watch these videos. Then tell me if this man is preaching the truth. (WVBS Where do I Go When I Die?} There are many more, including 'Why Are There So Many Churches?' and 'What Must I Do To Be Saved'. These are from the church of Christ. Just because a man preaches in a building with the Church of Christ written on it, doesn't mean he is preaching the truth. He may not be a bad person, but he is a false preacher. Check out the teaching of the church of Christ that you choose to worship with.
@@carolsmith18 1 jn 4;1. before you apply this scripture make sure you are ready to be attacked , mainly by the the members of the congregation your dealing with...2 tim 2:15. 2 tim 4:2 jp
This is the best preaching I’ve heard in years , I’m seriously considering the Church of Christ

Stay safe and be safe 💯💯 smile peace ✌️❤️ care always be happy 💯💯
Please come!
Hall Let us all know if you visited a church of Christ and praying that you obey the gospel and "Put on Christ" in baptism for the remission of sins and the Lord will add you to His church.
It’s a great place to go
Hal Terrill Please attend a church of Christ they teach the truth on how to be saved. The denominations teach one to say the sinner's prayer and ask Jesus into your heart and this is not in the word of God.
So sad the man has failed to understand that our 1resurrected Jesus Christ is called our Savior for a reason. All who die believing in Jesus Christ go into the presence of Jesus Christ at death: 1 Thes 4:13-18. Read and study the Bible for yourself too.
Those who reject Christ go to hell
Actually that is inaccurate. Judgement day brings you into the presence of Christ not death. We all must wait for Judgement day.
I like the passion
We are tomeet around the lord s table on the first day of the week is Sunday. To partake of the bread and the fruit of the vine . The bread represents his broken body and the fruit of the vine that represents his blood that was shed for us.
It’s the Church that is of Christ that’s the true church.
That is not what the the Bible says.
The rich Mand went to hell and Lazarus went to Abraham's bossom and it reads further. And says The rich man saw him a far off. That was indicating a different place.
Then it also states. There was a great gulf fixed indicating 2 different places
Right, that's what I read, too. I don't see any where in the Bible where it says Lazarus went to the same place that the rich man went too.
Only those who are born again and have an ongoing relationship with Jesus are going to Heaven. I know several Churches of Christ people that don't even go to church nor have a relationship with Jesus but they say they were water baptized so they're saved. Nope.
Hell is a place, and don't believe otherwise! The Bible tells us that hell is eternal fire. This man needs to read his Bible and ask for wisdom. I pray that he will have a clearer understanding. He needs to read about the rich man again! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The hell everyone goes to after death, Luke 16:23, is not eternal fire, it has an expiration date, Revelation 20:14. Eternal fire is just that, eternal, Jude 1:7. It will keep going on and on and on for all eternity, it will never end.
The Church of Christ in general claims to follow the command to sings hymns and Psalms. Where are the Psalms sung in CoC churches. They are on youtube: "Psalm 23 to the Bay of Harris", etc.
We need to be taught like this.
Which religion are true according to the Bible in this world? Because many religions are not true according to the Bible, Mathew 7;21-23,1jonh 4:1,Roman's 10:1-3.
Of course it's the only church that is going to Heaven. But the denomination that calls themselves The Church Of Christ isn't the only ones going to Heaven. If they think they are then I'm not even sure if they are part of the church of Christ.
Hades is NOT Hell. It is a holding/staging area for all and the good and bad and are separated in a great Fix. They are in two different spots in Hades. Do NOT confuse this with Hell. Also this is a parable.
Thank you for your response. There is no confusion. After much study our position is confirmed.
This is true. Jesus died, and went to hades. He did not go to hell. Brother Don Blackwell has a fantastic video about this on the GBN network. I believe it is called “What happens when we die.”
I’m not hating on this minister. I agree with his understanding of hades, but that isn’t the hell that we know about. It is death, but hell isn’t temporary. It is the place prepared for the devil and his angels.
Bible teaches only one church that is CHURCH OF CHRIST
From CHURCH OF CHRIST (INDIA vegivaripalem)
(Church of Christ vvp -youtube channel name)
Gosh im from philippines but im trying my best to speak english in the way how our teachers guide us or God guide us ITS so clear says in roma 16:16 says we churches of christ are welcoming you im not gonna say all the proof just ask the teachers and take the doctrine
I can not believe what I just heard
They call us mental problems, Prayers.
They scare me. Music and Entertainment.
I'm in tears
What verse are you referring to that says both Lazarus and the rich men both went to hell?
Let's be honest, we don't know who keep a relationship with God and who will be faithful to the end. We also don't know where dead people are in the afterlife because we aren't God and we don't know.
Bible verses your pastor will
never show
Deuteronomy 23:1-3 Ephesians 6:5
Psalms 115:16-18 Deuteronomy 25:5 Deuteronomy 25:11 Mathew 5:17-20 Leviticus 20:13 Leviticus 19:26 Mathew 15: 21-28 Luke 9:26-27 Jeremiah 14:14-15
Deuteronomy is to the Jews...eph 6:5 is not to be followed if the leaders go against GODS WORD, jp
If You do not rightly divide Gods word by the Covenants You are not in the body of Christ, because there is only 1 Faith Ephesians 4:4-6 Acts 2-Revelation 22 is the Complete new testament of Jesus, and if You depart from the Faith Your out. 1 Timothy 4:1-3 Mathew-John describing Jesus before the Cross is NOT THE FAITH, it is the Law of Moses. Galatians 4:4-5 Mathew 5:17-18 Mathew 7:12 Mathew 10:5-6 Mathew 15:24 Acts 2:42 2 John 9-11 verses John 7:16 John 6:38. If You follow Jesus before the Cross You have fallen from New Testament grace. Galatians 5:4 Romans 15:8 King James version 2 Corinthians 5:16 It is HIGH TIME People TEACH THIS TRUTH
Did the apostles or Jesus teach the church ⛪️ of Christ ? Meaning did they teach the people that they must go to a place with the name church of christ on it?
Yes. They were to ASSEMBLE with each other (church of Christ)..
The sign allows the WORLD to know who we are.
Stop thinking about the sign because the church of Christ doctrine is in the Bible and because we go by “church of Christ “ shows we are closer to the truth then those who do not follow after the examples in the Bible
