I had the opportunity to hear Rev. Nadia speak at our U. Methodist Church here in Kansas City, MO. She loves God, loves her community, her family, is very comfortable with the Bible, and makes me laugh. She is herself and in being so, she is the creation that God has made, she exudes positive, kind, loving energy. I do believe that she knows Jesus like the women who followed Christ: Mary, Mary Magdalene, Suzanna, Lydia, Junia, Phoebe, and Nympha (Colossians 4:15, who read Paul's letter in her church house). She helps me to be myself in community with other humans and to be in awe of being another creation God has made. I relaxed and smiled knowing that God is alive when two or more of us gather together in kindness, goodness, nonjudgmentalism, and love.
Nonjudgmentalism is sin! You're supposed to be the light and salt of the world and judge sin
Rev. Nadia you raised some amazing points. You go gurlll
What grace and loving spirit this woman, pastor, compassionate being, has to put up with those who call themselves Christian but think the 1% owns god too. I like her god who loves everyone much more that I ever could a god who only loves people who look like picture books and never ever sin or make mistakes.
how noble of you. which 'god' are you talking about
@@sponsler What's the matter, you didn't hear your magic words?
Can I ask you a couple simple Sunday-school style questions? Who is the Holy Spirit? And how did it fall upon the disciples, upon the Jews, and upon the Gentiles in Acts? Also, what happened to Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5? Finally, how did Paul treat Mark at the end of Acts 15? You see, there is a trend of strict obedience to the Holy Spirit. I find it funny how this woman always preaches about loving our neighbor. Which, in all respect, is great! It is the second commandment. However, what is the first? Love God with all your mind, strength, and soul. But we cannot love God unless we allow the Holy Spirit to come upon us and make us new people, repenting of our sins, to be saved by the blood of Jesus ALONE.
In my humble opinion, all that gay people need to hear is the Gospel. Let them ask questions about doctrine. Let them know that the Bible is the inerrant word of God that has been revealed to us by the Holy Spirit. Let's not force it down their throat nor let them participate in the eucharist (for they are literally eating the judgment of Christ upon them, read I Corinthians 11). But if a gay man humbly reads the Bible to seek for the truth unprejudiced against the stigma of homosexuality and to seek who Jesus really was, and if we, as the Body of Christ, humbly answer those questions, then they will come to a realization that they are accepted because they are human - but we are not called to repent of individual sins, but our whole sin nature - and thus a gay man, if repentance is genuine, I believe will be able to overcome his carnal desire for other men. For the confessions of my own sin, I find that my relationship with God has flourished more during the month of November specifically because I have been focused on spending time reading my Bible rather than doing what teenage guys naturally do. (No-nut November, the classic meme, haha very funny, very sarcastic). But as a testimony to my own faith, I do not see my piety as a self-righteous act, but rather a transformation by the Holy Spirit (often called sanctification) that continues to change my life.
The Word of God is living and active, and you will be changed by it day after day if you spend time with your Heavenly Father, guaranteed. God bless you.
This woman is a universalist meaning Jesus is not the only way.
She never said anything of the sort.
That was cool!
(As for the below...not...going...there!)
I am trying to get a grasp of what she teaches. I'm not sure what to think about," Who believes in everything in the creed?" The creed is based on the Bible. Does anyone have a link to a good sermon that she preaches? I would like to hear one on Romans 6.
I'm thinking proceed with caution; and not to get sucked into the hype that is going on. Beware of those who intentionally step out into the spotlight and rarely touch on scripture but have a lot to say about what's on their mind.Avoid the desire to be unique. The
temptation to this form of pride seems to be endemic to the academic process. For by its very nature a doctoral dissertation is usually supposed to be an original contribution to knowledge. But if the scholar is to make a discovery that no one else has ever made, then it is an almost irresistible temptation to congratulate oneself for being the originator of this new truth,, of which, there is none.
@@sponsler Everybody is not the same. God created us as individuals with inquisitive minds that seek answers. But old religion says it has all the answers in one book written by many people at different times and in different places who did not always agree with each other. Yeah, right.
@@Watkinsstudio inquisitive minds?? Yeah when Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge it lead to death. Don't trust knowledge, trust God, God wrote the Bible word for word, you need to trust his word not your own
Where does it say that in the Law? The Law, i.e. the Torah doesn't say that. So was Paul wrong? No Paul was not wrong. You are. So go figure out what he meant and what law he was referring to because you don't really know what Paul was talking about do you?
They became righteous, which is not a moral category. Do you think that these people became sinless in a day? Or do you think that leaving their life of sin took a process?

Verse Concepts
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
HE is our righteousness. Read Ephesians 2:8-9. This lady is heretical.
@@jllyjill. Heretical is a hysterical word for someone whose interpretation of scripture differs from yours.
@@Watkinsstudio so there's no such thing as a heresy?? Get out of here, no such thing as blatant false doctrine ?
Funny, Dwight, that you should choose to wield a passage where Jesus is rebuking the self righteous religious types of his day for dishonoring Him and the Father. :-)
Reading what professed "Christians" have written in the responses to this video, it is no shock that Christianity is almost dead in America.
Nothing but self-righteousness and an attack on someone who is trying to teach the gospel.
Maybe people should take the log out of their own eyes before removing the specks from hers...
Maybe you should take the log out of your own eye before you judge these Christian's you claim are self righteous
She tried way to hard. It's the Guy Fierri of Faith! So extreme dude! Rock n Roll!
I love her perspective. and I actually believe everything in the creed...because I have nothing to disprove it.
Hebrews 11:1-3,6 ESV
“[1] Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. [2] For by it the people of old received their commendation. [3] By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. [6] And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.”
That’s Faith, ladies and gentlemen.
Maximus Octavius. Actually, that's cut and paste. Besides, her talk does not contradict the scriptures.
Yes all her talks contradict script ure, if you disagree with me you are a hater and calling me names and saying disgusting things about m
can I buy it??
that is saying for people to not talk but listen in church....thats all it is saying....not to be distracted but reverent in church....
God does not love us because we are good. God loves us because God is good. Therefore, Nadia is so right. James Alison is right. Faith is relaxing into God's goodness. This makes a lot of sense fro Lutherans such ad Nadia and me. Luther said that even out faith is a gift... So much love to all watching this video. I hope that it will help you to relax into God'd goodness instead of turning faith into some kind of moral-intellectual chore
Sorry, this coward just saw your comment. With or without God, love to you,friend, somewhere out there in the universe❤️
Haha! That, too! You nailed it! Genius😎
But NOT sending passive love, but the real deal, don't need anything back from you or you to think anything good of me at all. Level vibes...
+Timothy Seitz-Brown God is not good. He's an evil ego-maniac. Luckily he doesn't exist.
+Dark Pill my bottom line reality is that Love Wins. Count me in the MLK tradition, including the forgotten speech, "Beyond Vietnam".
As far as "exist," I am here on a temporary, short term assignment. To love people, even if it means I end up with MLK, I'm okay with that.
And I have no choice, but to be okay with whatever you think of me. Good or evil. Smart or idiot.
We are atheists but she is the only Christian I have ever liked. My son 3 year old said and I quote "she talks nice! Her hair is very 'Bad Guy'! Awesome!"
Well clearly I wouldn't know shit about Christianity but she runs a Lutheran church and says she's a pastor so she sure would fool me!
Absolutely
What make us Christians look bad is because of some people who love judging others with their so-called knowledge of the Bible. Like mr. Gaz Robert here.
There are 611 laws in the old testament 1050 in new you can not tell me you abide by every one,If you eat cheese and meat you sinned , Do Not Judge
1Do not judge, or you will be judged. 2For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?… Matt 7;2
@Gaz Roberts Not every Christian thinks as you do, and Nadia is not for everyone, but trolling people who find her message meaningful isn't Christian behavior.
chill people good is bot even real
