  • Justin Peters does a video response to Steven Furtick's recent message on a chapter subheading concerning the passage of two blind men who were healed. Furtick said that a better heading would be "Two Bold Men Become Disciples".
    I'm Rod Saunders, founder of Jew and Greek. I’m a musician, web developer, and a student of philosophy and economics. I recently published my first book on Amazon entitled Defending the Faith: Word of Faith Apologetics. It’s a response to the numerous charges against and misrepresentations of the Word of Faith movement and theology. I also have a CD of original music on CD Baby entitled Gates of Pearl. “Jew and Greek” is a good name because the two civilizations that influenced Western civilization the most were those of the Judeo-Christian and Greek worlds. From the Jews we received our values and a monotheistic theology, and from the Greeks we got philosophy which brought us science, sports, the arts, democracy, and economics. As a result I discuss all of the above in this blog and in my videos.

    The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him. Prov 18:17
    Justin Peters seems right in his specious accusations, then Rod corrects JPs bad analysis.
    When is JP going to stop wasting time with his Ministry of Condemnation and Criticism? He will answer to God for every idle word, same as everyone.

    I'm sure Furtick is worried; staying up late at night because of a 'Justin Peter's video' No! He knows that God will still gather people (including the lost) to hear him preach/glorify his God/Jesus and that his ministry grows because it's God's Hand upon his ministry! It will always backfire on Peters whether he acknowledges that or not!

    Finally, got an up to date video from you Rod. Been getting lots of older videos lately. Don't get me wrong, I love the old ones, but would like to stay current with your stuff. My son is a young Assemblies of God preacher, and I've just turned him on to your stuff.
    I listen to alot of Justin, Colin, and John McAuthur, and enjoy hearing your rebuttals when they attack some of the Pentecostal/Charismatic teaching that I'm in agreement with. I like alot of McAuthur 's teaching, and I agree with some of his opinions on charismatic flakiness. But, as you have pointed out, our side could certainly throw stones at our good calvanist/Baptist brethren if we wanted to as well.
    Those guys seem to be the epitome of Pharisee attitudes and behavior. They are soooooo stiff necked and judgmental. Can you picture McAuthur in the midst of a Holy Ghost Revival meeting, running the aisles and shouting praises and worship to God?? Lolololol (I can't either)!!!😅😅😅😅😅😅

    Steven Furtick helps young Christians in their walk with Jesus. I get Steven Furtick and pray fervent prayers for his ministry. Justin is an overrated stick in the mud of a 'discernment minister' and people forget what he says on his videos. Furtick is excited about a glorious God and Peters is someone who is bitter against the charismatic movement. God will gather more to Furtick as he is someone who the young can understand. Peters will only find agreement with other 'sticks in the mud'

  • @Bryntjones
    @Bryntjones 4 місяці тому +1

    Interesting context. But Furtick is way too enabling of people in his message. He doesnt exposit scripture, and ultimately elevates the men over Christ. His basic point is ok, but not really on topic, or even real. It supposes people are letting some culture or what others are saying about them to keep them from Christ?
    Our own sinful rebellion wants to keep us from Christ.
    But he's right that we should call out to Christ and be bold in our faith.

    Luke 2
    52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature[a] and in favor with God and man.
    We think listening to foolishness and unqualified people will achieve this, in no way it will!
    We make examples of secondary actor's people that are never mentioned lather and when thing's became real they betrayed Christ or fleed cowardly
    We boast as christians yet evidence proves Jesus is but an extra in our story, I pray that one day we will be of a sound mind like it's often repeated in the Bible
    2 Timothy 1:7 ESV
    For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
    Romans 12:2 ESV
    Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
    1 Peter 1:13 ESV
    Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

    Hi Rod - ironic that you accuse me of taking Furtick out of context (which I did not ) when you actually did that very thing with me in this video. Hypocrisy. My overall point (as you well know) was that Jesus Himself called people what they used to be in Luke 7, this despite Furtick saying we should not do that. Jesus did.

      Galatians 5:22-24
      But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
      Ephesians 4
      31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
      32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
      Please stop attacking the those that have the gifts of the Holy Spirit they have not cease.
      They will remain until Jesus returns.
      1 Corinthians 11
      5 For in him you have been enriched in every way-with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge- 6 God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you. 7 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. 8 He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord
      The church won't need these gifts in the next life - why because everything will be perfect we will have no need of them in the next life The Lord is going to restore all things and make them new again
      Revelation 21
      1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[a] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
      5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

    Justin Peters may have missed the context however Steven Furtick is a showman who invited unnecessary criticism when he tried to explain the title "two blind men recieve sight" as somehow not being logical on the basis of what he said "if they received sight, why are they called blind". The title makes perfect sense as it means the men were blind and then healed. An objective UA-camr would have at least acknowledged that but something tells me you are not objective when it comes to Justin Peters.
