So many of us know, but we feel like we are in a fishbowl, we know we have to pray but ACT, what do we do. We spread the info and nothing changes. We vote, they steal the election, we watch the insanity and have no idea what to do to stop it.
@@vickiswinehart8675If you want to spread the truth, then quit spreading lies about the election. Liberals have watched the Trump insanity for 5 years and we voted him out, but he and his cult still terrorize our country every day, instead of letting peace reign.
I use to listen to the Eric Metaxas show in the early morning hours of California and I must say, it’s “fearlessly and brutally honest, intellectuals discussing The Truth with no hidden agendas, selling snake oil”.
Bravo and Amen.......thankyou both for your hard work and faithfulness.....the deception grows....but God's Truth shines in the darkness! So........Let His Light Shine !!!!!!
"To imagine that our faith does not intersect with current events is to ignore our Bible." Well said Pastor Allen. The Bible is filled with "current event" stories...history....where God called and even charged His followers to do something, to take hard and uncomfortable stands, press into battles for truth and righteous, for freedom from enslavement to sin and the good of a nation. So good to hear two "thinkers" reason together from a Biblical world view! Thank you Eric for the difference you are making in hearts and minds all across this country !
Pastor Allen Thank you for all the beautiful videos I get to hear and see your wonderful ministry, Thank you for bringing all these Christian people that you talk to Gods blessing to you
Really enjoyed this video. I think we are paying the price now for being Lukewarm . Time to be respectful and caring but firm and unwavering in standing up for what the word Of God says.
@ashleysilva7414 11 months ago I'm not surprised that many believers had a problem with his theology. The following is a summary of beliefs and influence of Dietrich Bonhoeffer as taken from some of the over 14 books and documents attributed to him: 1. He believed that "God is teaching us that we must live as men who can get along very well without Him. The God who is with us is the God who forsakes us." Bonhoeffer also believed that the concept of God as a "supreme Being, absolute in power and goodness," was a "spurious conception of transcendence," and that "God as a working hypothesis in morals, politics, and science ... should be dropped, or as far as possible eliminated" (Letters and Papers from Prison, S.C.M. Press edition, Great Britain: Fontana Books, 1953, pp. 122, 164, 360). 2. He believed that mankind had become of age and no longer needed religion, which was only a deceptive garment of true faith; he suggested the need for a "religionless Christianity." To Bonhoeffer, "the Christian is identified not by his beliefs, but by actions, by his participation in the suffering of God in the life of the world" (Letters and Papers from Prison, S.C.M. Press edition, Great Britain: Fontana Books, 1953, p. 163). Thus, Bonhoeffer's final writings have given impulse to Marxist theologians sponsoring "liberation theology" and to others wishing to promote a worldly social gospel. 3. He refused to discuss the origin of Christ, His relationship to the Father, His two natures, or even the relationship of the two natures. Bonhoeffer was adamant in his belief that it was impossible to know the objective truth about the real essence of Christ's being-nature (Christ the Center, pp. 30, 88, 100-101). 4. He questioned the Virgin Birth, and in reality denied it (The Cost of Discipleship, p. 215). 5. He denied the deity of Christ; he advocated that "Jesus Christ Today" is not a real person and being, but a "corporate presence" (Testimony to Freedom, pp. 75-76; Christ the Center, p. 58). 6. He denied the sinlessness of Christ's human nature and further questioned the sinlessness of His earthly behavior (Christ the Center, pp. 108-109). 7. He believed that Christ exists in three "revelatory forms" -- as Word, as sacrament, and as church. From asserting that Christ is the church, he followed that all persons in the church are identical with Christ (Christ the Center, p. 58; The Cost of Discipleship, p. 217). This amounts to pantheism! 8. He believed that Christianity is not exclusive, i.e., that Christ is not the only way to God (Testimony to Freedom, pp. 55-56). 9. He was a prominent figure in the early ecumenical movement, as evidenced through his associations with the "World Alliance for International Friendship" (a forerunner of the apostate World Council of Churches [WCC]), Union Theological Seminary, and Visser 't Hooft (who later became the first General Secretary of the WCC) (Testimony to Freedom, pp. 22, 212, 568). Bonhoeffer also reached out to Roman Catholics, prefiguring the broader ecumenism that blossomed after Vatican II in the mid-1960s. 10. He was a practical evolutionist (No Rusty Swords, p. 143), and believed that the book of Genesis was scientifically naive and full of myths (Creation and Fall: A Theological Interpretation of Genesis 1-3). 11. and He adhered to neo-orthodox theology terminology concerning salvation (Testimony to Freedom, p. 130), was a sacramentalist (Life Together, p. 122; The Way to Freedom, pp. 115, 153), believed in regenerational infant baptism (Letters and Papers from Prison, Macmillan, pp. 142-143) as well as adult baptismal regeneration (The Way to Freedom, p. 151), equated church membership with salvation (The Way to Freedom, p. 93), and denied a personal/individualistic salvation (Letters and Papers from Prison, Macmillan, p. 156). 12. He placed little or no value on the Old Testament --"... the faith of the Old Testament is not a religion of salvation" (Letters and Papers from Prison, S.C.M. Press edition, Great Britain: Fontana Books, 1953, p. 112). 13. He denied the verbal-plenary inspiration of Scripture, believing that the Bible was only a "witness" to the Word of God and becomes the Word of God only when it "speaks" to an individual; otherwise, it was simply the word of man/men (Testimony to Freedom, pp. 9, 104; Sanctorum Communio, p. 161). To Bonhoeffer, the Bible was meant "to be expounded as a witness, not as a book of wisdom, a teaching book, a book of eternal truth" (No Rusty Swords, p. 118). He also believed in the value of higher criticism/historical criticism, which is a denial of the inerrancy and authenticity of the Bible (Christ the Center, pp. 73-74). 14. He had no faith in the physical resurrection of Christ. Bonhoeffer believed the "historicity" of the Resurrection was in "the realm of ambiguity," and that it was one of the "mythological" elements of Christianity that "must be interpreted in such a way as not to make religion a pre-condition of faith." He also believed that "Belief in the Resurrection is not the solution of the problem of death," and that such things as miracles and the ascension of Christ were "mythological conceptions" as well (Christ the Center, p. 112; Letters and Papers from Prison, S.C.M. Press edition, Great Britain: Fontana Books, 1953, pp. 93-94, 110). - Dr. G. Archer Weniger declared, "If there is wholesome food in a garbage can, then one can find some good things in Bonhoeffer, but if it be dangerous to expect to find nourishment in a garbage can, then Bonhoeffer must be totally rejected and repudiated as blasphemy. It is worse than garbage" (FBF Information Bulletin, May 1977, p. 12).
Pastor Jeffress has an excellent talk on what separation of church and state really means. It means to be protected from them taking control of our freedom of religion. Very excellent explanation. Robert jeffress 5 or so years back, message on separation of church and state the true reason and meaning of what they were doing.
How blessed you Americans are in that you can move to a state that better represents your Christian values. Here in Australia all of our states are terrible. Our Church attending Prime Minister has stood back to watch the unvaccinated lose their jobs and very basic freedoms.
Thank you so much for this post, loved it! truth to confront the lies in our nation & world. Alan I enjoy seeing you on CP, and on short interviews, I never saw this site, gonna look at more videos! Love Eric's show too!
The Orthodox Church of Greece and Cyprus has leaders, Archbishops that are forcing priests to get vaccinated or else they lose their place in the church 😞 I feel such sadness just writing this message. It makes me think of wolves in sheeps clothing and the apostasy /falling away of the Church. They will soon be promoting inter faith worship even more. Our Saints prophesied about this, St Cosmas Aitolos spoke of a future time when we will have to walk for hours to find a true priest, true to the word of God. Lord Jesus have mercy on us all ✝️
I agree with much that is said here, but one thing I didn't hear touched on, and it frankly concerns me, is that is that we do not battle flesh and blood.The Bible is very clear, you would have to throw out half of the Bible to exclude a devil.There is nothing new under the sun, this is the same spirit and same agenda. I am not saying we should not battle, on the contrary it is a battle, but lets remember who our real enemy is and what ALL of our weapons are. (Ephesians 6) The Good News is that this is all ushering in the end of the age, and the return of Christ, and God has told us that soon satan will be once and for all crushed under our feet! Romans (16:20) "But in keeping with God’s promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells."✝🖐 2 Peter 3:13l
I was a medical technologist, labs and all their departments. I had to take evolution in college and I think I got a D in the class because I couldn't believe all that stuff. I new God made all things. There are scientists that are Christians. My brother was paper chemist with a PhD and he and is wife are Christians.
The evidence hasn't gotten stronger. Computer modeling has shown that there are more and simpler ways for amino acids to combine. Increased research has stilt gaps in the fossil record. Meanwhile, Alma Texas can do is add elements to the fine-tuning argument that don't even belong such as universal constants that we have no way of knowing whether or not they could even be different than what they are.
The Only Book I have time for is Gods word…The Bible is the only book I have time for! It’s the only one we should be seeking. God breathed life into and has taught me His Grace, Mercy and Truth. Why do we need to read mans versions, when we have Gods. Where does truth begin? Where did your parents begin their own truth..Grandparents, ..Truth and Righteousness begin? Genesis 1:1 In the Beginning God Matthew 4:12 Now (The beginning of Jesus Ministry). Mark 1:1 The Beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Luke 1:1-4 For as much as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, even as they delivered them unto us which, we from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word. …, John 1:1-5 In the Beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the Beginning with God… The book of John is my favorite!
I am glad Eric is promoting God. But when you complain about a political party in charge; You are complaining about Gods decision of who he has put in Authority. Talk to him about it and then shut up! Because, no one can Thwart Gods plan. Romans 13: 1-2.. Do not have a Propensity towards controversy and discord because that is a abomination to God. Proverbs 6: 16-19. If you don’t agree to the approved Party Line in power you are disagreeing who God choice.. Do not rely on Eric Metaxas theories in a Politics cause no one has known the mind of God? A lot of Countries have socialist policies like Canada, Greece, France, the UK and Scandinavian Countries. Does Eric think these countries are Marxist, Communist or Athesist? The people from these countries love those Policies! The Church is forgetting that God puts the authorities in place and Jesus kingdom is not in this world. But, Jesus taught us how to live in it! and endure in it. I do agree that science and faith points to God! We don’t need to try to control the world but we must trust God enough too let go and let God. That is what faith is all about.. Then Jesus will give us the peace of God which transcends all understanding!

Speaking the TRUTH in love and BOLDNESS with all those around us. What do we do when our pastors refuse to?
This was really a great interview. Two intelligent God fearing men speaking truth. Thank you Lord. Please bless and protect them. In Jesus name. Amen
Thank God for Pastor Allen and Eric of their love for Truth .
I use to listen to the Eric Metaxas show in the early morning hours of California and I must say, it’s “fearlessly and brutally honest, intellectuals discussing The Truth with no hidden agendas, selling snake oil”.
Eric is clearly a prophet like an Isaiah
I thank God for his podcast and try to never miss one. Thanks Allan for supporting him
Bravo and Amen.......thankyou both for your hard work and faithfulness.....the deception grows....but God's Truth shines in the darkness! So........Let His Light Shine !!!!!!
I like when you, Pastor Allen, have sit downs with Christian guests. 😇👍 There is power when 2 or more come together in JESUS NAME!!!
Great to hear and see Eric back. I've missed his Godly wisdom.
Everything points to God and that just the way it is !
I love these guys both of them are just such an inspiration to me God bless you
I believe some are waking up but the censorship is dangerous and growing. Great conversation.
Thank you for having Eric Metaxas on your program. Wow, so good!

Always been a fan. May the wisdom Father has given him increase!
Fabulous interview!! 👌 Thank you Pastor Allen. My husband and I watch you on TBN every 🌄 and have grown as Believers.

Complaining about the undermining of Truth while endorsing Donald Trump is a level of irony that ought to swallow one out of existence.

Or did it make them fill under conviction !
