    Bio: Ruslan KD is a Christian UA-camr of Armenian descent who was a refugee from Baku, Azerbaijan, before moving to the United States as a child. He started his UA-cam channel in the mid-2010s, which has since grown into a popular platform for discussing faith, lifestyle, and music. Known for his insightful commentary on Christian living, culture, and personal development, Ruslan has built a community of followers who value his thoughtful approach to contemporary issues. In addition to his UA-cam presence, Ruslan is a speaker, author, and advocate for godly ambition, often addressing topics related to leadership, mental health, and the integration of faith in everyday life.
    Our mission is to encourage, empower, and inspire people to live a life that Blesses God, in accordance with His word. As the Psalmist proclaims, "Bless God in the great congregation, the Lord, O you who are of Israel's fountain" (Psalm 68:26 ESV), and "Every day will I bless Thee; and I will praise Thy name forever and ever" (Psalm 145:2 KJV). Just as Simeon, after encountering Jesus, "took him up in his arms and blessed God" (Luke 2:28 ESV), we seek to lead others in a life of stewardship, relevant engagement, and practical living that honors and blesses the Lord.

    Eric's wife: This was not a debate and Gabe failed to position himself as dignified in any capacity. Gabe is the one confused. Michael Brown has a personal faith, Gabe from what he has presented does not have a knowledge of the Holy Spirit, but rather an interest in theology only. Gabe asks why Michael Brown takes things "personally", I should kinda think it to be obvious because Michael has a personal relationship with the Lord but Gabe doesn't show any of that by either his attitude or terminology. Maybe he does but he doesn't show it. I even showed this to my husband and both of us couldn't stand Gabe. Bleh.

    It’s really simple:

We show this faith through our repentance and ability to follow God’s commands. This was true for Old and New Covenant. (Just read basically any of Paul’s letters)
    Being God’s chosen people doesn’t save you. He’s not saying the Jews have a different pathway because that ain’t how it works anyways.

    I was sincerely interested in hearing both sides on this topic because it's a theological idea that I don't hold a firm position on.
    I'll admit that Dr. Brown probably muddied the waters a little bit with the "point of order" comment after the rebuttal section. It was Gabe's first debate and he could have let that slide.
    But Gabe was being incredibly provocative with the prophets of Baal bit. He should have just dropped the arguments on dual covenant theology and dispensationalism and moved onto the crux of the argument.
    At no point did I feel like they were actually addressing each other. The whole debate felt like they were arguing past each other.

    I submit for consideration that the greatest value of this video was not the topic but rather the conduct of the two interviewees. Personally, I don't know either of these men. I have no knowledge of either man's work/ministry, so my comments here are not jaded by being a follower of either.
    What I saw in this exchange is the stark contrast between representing God well vs. being the type of Christian who turns off unchurched, secular people.
    The guy on the left was thoughtful, kind, listened, and yet spoke the truth as he understood it, while the other guy was obnoxious and downright rude. Isn't this our challenge? How do we passionately speak the truth yet avoid being inappropriate in how we proclaim it?
    I am convinced that we will not succeed with our God-given assignments if we fail to be winsome to the world (and those who are listening/watching us). Still, at the same time, we must be passionate about speaking the truth. However, our need to speak the truth does not condone rude and disrespectful behavior. Importantly, this approach will not be successful. Therefore, I (we) need to regularly ask myself, is my objective to win the debate or win the soul for Christ?
    In this video, the guy on the right failed miserably if his intention was to correct errant thinking, while the other interviewee provided us with a useful example of how to handle conflict.
    With this comment, I want to add an additional consideration: We don't know what is going on in the personal life of either individual. Therefore, this video reminds me that I need to be circumspect as I respond to unacceptable behavior. While we must publicly decry unhelpful behavior, we can still engage the obnoxious person using a demeanor that includes a sincere, caring, enquiring spirit that seeks to understand.
    We must always be cautious not to inadvertently condemn the errant individual but only their behavior. It's the behavior, the approach to the conflicting viewpoint, that was inappropriate. With this, I need to remind myself that the guy on the right may be going through traumatic personal trials, struggling with addictions or abuse, or he may be suffering from emotional strain, serious personal problems, or spiritual attacks. We don't know. This is my second point.
    With this diatribe, my hope is that we will all learn two unintended lessons from this video. Frankly, as we consider the days ahead and what we will be facing, we had better learn this lesson now, or we will be doomed to lead an unproductive life. We will certainly not experience the victorious life that God intends for us.
    I don't usually chime in on these chats, but today, this has been such a useful reminder for me, personally, that I feel compelled to share this reflection. Learning this lesson is far more significant than who was correct regarding the debate question.

I was too distracted by the way that Gabe was behaving to listen to what he was saying. He may have made really good arguments that were missed because of him getting so upset. Lets not forget that the world is watching how we treat each other. Many people who are curious about Christianity are turning away from it because of how we as Christians behave with each other and the world. I beg all Christians to not get caught up in the weeds.

    I think something that is being overlooked here is that in a sense both parties were at fault for not "truly rebutting" the other.
    Both of them just had talking points and verses they were using as evidence for their respective positions. As much as Finochio didn't "rebut" point for point Brown's points/Scriptures that were used as evidence for his points. Neither did Brown rebut the multitude of verses Finochio offered up as evidence for his position.
    Removing any form of bias, it likely might have been better to set this up as a discussion/conversation piece about this theologically "debated" position. Rather than a formal debate where the focus is more about who follows the "debating" rules more, rather than who's position is making the most theologically coherent sense.
    Some people like the formal debate structure so I get that, I've just found in formal debating - if you're good at the game of debate, you can technically win the debate, regardless of the objective truth of your position.
    Given that I believe both of these men have the goal not only to be 'right' but to reach the truth of scripture, a less rules based approach, and a more conversational approach might have resulted in more theological understanding for the viewers.

    He is essentially teaching dual Cov Theology. You cannot preach that Jesus Christ is “not” the Fulfillment of God’s Promises to Abraham and be a Christian. Also You cannot honestly preach that “Gods promises are set in stone”. It was clearly conditional. (Obedience based)
    “You must not turn away from any of the commands I am giving you today, nor follow after other gods and worship them.”
    ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭28 14
    28 15
    Joshua 23
    Joshua 21
    As well….. as……
    “Then the Lord will send you back to Egypt in ships, to a destination I promised you would never see again. There you will offer to sell yourselves to your enemies as slaves, but no one will buy you.””
    ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭28‬:‭68‬ ‭NLT‬‬
    So as you can tell all promises that were/were on the premise of obedience. It is clear as day. Believing in Dual cov theology means that you would not agree all things are yes (fulfillment) in Christ. If you don’t believe that then what exactly is your faith? New religion I suppose.

The whole chapter is important but starting in verse 12 God put Abraham to sleep when He made His covenant with Abraham. This was not a two party deal. That’s why it can’t be revoked. There’s one piece of that promise that has not yet been fulfilled which I believe will happen during the 1,000 year reign of Christ on the Earth as foretold in Revelation 20 and that’s Israel’s possession of their land from the “Nile to the Euphrates.” Since God always keeps His promises this must happen. By then Israel will have fully repented and turned to their Messiah. The only reason I believe that is because I believe that the Bible is true.
