Soteriology 101
Checked out Melissa Dougherty.
Immediately realised she did that brilliant exposè on 'the chosen" 👍
Bible Thinker is a good resource for understanding the Bible in context.
Hey, Matt, I've noticed that in the recent days your "Matthew Mason" channel has suddenly disappeared. Perhaps you could explain the reason to your audience. Was that done deliberately?
Hey Matt, check out these You-Tube Channels: Smart Christian Channel and Smart Christian Life. Corey is a down to earth apologist and interesting speaker. Not into Calvinism or NAR. Defends the doctrine of Eternal Security. Is not a "cessationist" or a "continuationist", but a "biblical continuationist". Exposes many false teachers and false doctrine. Does Bible Studies that many will find interesting. The ONLY thing I disagree with him about is when the "rapture" will occur (he holds to a pre-trib view).
Brother thank you for mentioning @soteriology101 - I was pessimistically impacted by the pernicious philosophy of Calvinism. I got exposed to it 7-9 months into my Christian walk (at 17 years old) through the likes of Paul washer, MacArthur etc. Ever since then, It perpetually robbed me of the fruits of the spirit, because it galvanised me to pride & a pugnacious personality at times. A-know-it-all mentality. To a point where I trivialised the value of my family.
I’m now 19 turning 20 in June. And the LORD JESUS CHRIST by His spirit has been revealing to me how deceived I was by it. Learning to rely upon the word of GOD, and not the doctrines concocted by men. My joy is returning again. Thank you for recommending those channels.
I am so glad to see your response. It is so easy to follow the superstar preachers who are so good at explaining themselves. Paul never said to listen to him. He told the bereans to study the scriptures themselves to see if what he said was true. Continue to do that.
Grace for Purpose, Dr David Jeremiah, Jack Hibbs, JD Farag, and Gary Hamrick.
I listen to I Speak Biblically and Mike Winger already. Thank you for highlighting some keepers. 😍
Will definitely check these out.
A really great bible teacher I like is Dr John Barnett of DTBM.
Absolutely
Never heard any them i praise the Lord not preachers, i read my bible daily i dont need preachers to teach me the word i have learned more on my own than all the churches i been thru in my life which they dont even cover much of the bible, people need to start reading their own bible & stop with building up pastors making them into celebrities, one way to eternal life is thru Jesus Christ NOT thru man.
Amen. 1 John 2:.27. The Holy Spirit is the best teacher indeed. 🙌
Thankfully none of these channels are celebrities. They'll give you the background, historical context, archaeological finds, and philosophical discussions that you cannot find in the Bible.
There's a place for reading your Bible alone supplemented with interacting with other believers through these channels in order to strengthen your understanding of the historical past and of the issues presented to the church today.
Another great list.
Thank you!! 🙏
Blessings to you and your channel! Thank you so much for the recommendation! That means a lot.
You’re very welcome, my brother. You are a faithful contender for the faith. Your theology is rocksolid. And you communicate very well. It’s a pleasure to call you my brother in Christ. Matt 🙏
Hi Sean
I commented on the other video about 5 good channels that yours is one of my top 5 too. Praise God for your ministry 😊
@@godchickwendy Thank you so much! Blessings to you!
Thankyou for making this list Matt, I knew a couple, but will certainly check the others out. I have recently found Zac Poonan who seems very good and biblical
Many thanks! Howdy from Kansas. 👋
Say Hi to Dorothy and the Tornadoes. 👋
( People might not know that Sedan, Kansas, has a yellow brick road lined with trees and flowers winding through the city. A real tourist attraction.)
@@SpaceCadet4Jesus Toto says 👋 HI.
I found Cliffe Knechtle this year, absolutely love his videos.
Melissa and the Cross Examined - I love these channels. I will check out the others, thank you.
One I'd recommend is Cold Case Christianity. J Warner Wallace is used to reviewing crime scenes and evidence for the truth, and takes that approach to the Bible. He wasn't a Christian when he started with the Bible but is thoroughly convinced now. I have benefitted a lot from his perspective and insights.
It’s a great channel
Thank you, Matt! 👍
Guess I have some homework to do now! 😆
I recommend this channel as well! Appreciate the openess, honesty, and transparency
I appreciate that! God bless you. Matt 🙏
@lionoffireraw your welcome brother!
I gave a view 7 days ago that you were spot on about the false teachers you pointed out. Well, I am calling you out today about these false teachers you gave today. I went to their channels and watched a few of their videos and they also have very basic flaws in their beliefs, which means you have some basic flaws in your beliefs if you think they are great to watch. Just calling a duck a duck. I have been walking out my faith for 45 years and where I was in where you are now, that was maybe year 5. Maybe in 40 years you will see the errors in your ways and be saddened by what you used to believe supposing you actually grew your faith. You on the other hand probably think I walked away from my faith. Farthest from the truth. If I did, I'd be a satanist yet I can point out basic points in your own walk which YOU are a practicing satanist. You would say "no am I not" but you are. You just don't know it yet. There will come a time when it will dawn on you that you were doing bad things in 2024. I just hope that this realization comes very soon.
I just saw your comment on my other message. I knew from this rant that you believe in much deception. The other comment confirmed how fundamental that deception is! Crazy!!
I recommended YOUR channel to my husband yesterday. :)
I appreciate that. God bless you, Matt 🙏
I was pleasantly surprised that you mentioned Soteriology 101☺️👍🏾
He’s the best 😃
I love #4 Give me an answer with Cliff. I've also been watching Revealing Truth way back since the Pandemic started. I will admit that at times, after watching his videos, I feel down and disheartened when I see all the people that are deceiving others with their false teachings. When you think it can't get any worse, he does another video on someone else. Thanks. I enjoy your videos and also these recommendations.
I think we can fall into a trap of watching too many false teacher videos. Here and there, it’s good.
Thank you again for a great video! I listen to all but the last one you mentioned. I haven’t heard of him before but I will check him out. I have also been listening to Wise Disciple with Nate Sala. He is a preacher, teacher and debate teacher. Very solid interesting videos. Thank you again for what you do! God bless you!
Hi Matt
Thanks so very much for your suggestions . I listen to David Jeremiah everyday. But with your vast experience and knowledge I will definitely start listening to your list tomorrow. And yes Cliff from Give Me an answer is awesome I started listening to him 15 years ago as well
Thanks so very much again for 2 channels. They are brilliant. 🙏❤️
Thank you for these suggestions, I really needed this. I have been watching some that are great, one you recommend here, and some that are not good overall. Russlan is one I watched, and I think he's generally good, but the click bait gets on my nerves a little. Spoken Gospel is another interesting one, it's more of a podcast. Thank you for waht you are doing here!
The last three days i have put out videos talking about different Christian UA-cam channels.
I’ll be honest with you, I’m not a big fan of Ruslan. It’s not only the click bait, but I feel that he lacks discernment. He supports and defends The Chosen (I’ve done many videos showing the problem with this show, both on and off screen).
He also associates with a lot of false teachers, and questionable people.
He said that Christians can celebrate Halloween. He also said that it was fine to put a half naked picture of Beyoncé on the cover of a video (and then said it’s the fault of the people watching a video, if they fall into temptation).
That’s just a handful of examples…
@@lionoffireraw Ah, very interesting, and very helpful, thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful Sunday, feeling closer to God than ever. :)
@@chickensdontsurf
Just had to reach out to say-
love the name and the photo attached! Made me laugh and smile lol 🌊🐔🏄♀️🚫😂
@@lane21007 Awe, cool!
I like Fighting for the Faith, and Dawn Hill (The lovesick Scribe) having come out of Word-of-faith nonsense, they and Mike Winger helped me out of it👋
Disciple Dojo. Matthew Everhard. David Jeremiah. Grace For Purpose. David and Vivian Aspinall (focus on JW cult).
One thing that needs to come to mind about Melissa Dougherty is that though she is right about a great number of theological issues she however never once came out critical of The Chosen. In fact she once had Dallas Jenkins on for an interview and never once did she confront him for the heretical claims that he was making, which very much upset me at the time because that was the only perfect opportunity she had to do that. Furthermore she has never once made anything warning people about the dangers of the show either.
She is a sly one, but mark and avoid!
Thank you brother!!!!!
It must be difficult to limit your list to five, and all these channels sound good, but I think that Mike Winger should be on the list. His emphasis is on teaching listeners to “think Biblically.”
I did an original list a couple of days before this one. I’ll post it below for you ⬇️

@@lionoffireraw Thank you!
Be careful, though. Arguing, debating, attempting to disprove using intellect and in our own power... Proves useless. The Answer is Jesus. Pure and simple.
Sister, We need people who are willing to call out the false teachers.Yeshua Himself called out publicly false teaching and paul Tells us that we are to do this so that it Scares people into not teaching false doctrines. Additionally, those who don't know these are false doctrines will walk away from false doctrine and false teachers.Confused and people who call them out especially publicly so all can see them.Not only dissuade others from teaching falsely but will clear up the confusion immediately because god is not a god of confusion the enemy is. So we need people who do this especially in love like this man does.
I find it important to always pray before engaging anyone in debate, and we must always remember that the purpose is not to win the argument but to win the person to Christ.
These Christian channels use scripture, reason, logic, and experience as the fabric of their presentations. It Is not mere intellect or so-called human power, as you intimate.
They expect to lay seed or water the garden of their listeners hearts, expecting God to assist in his part in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Atheists and agnostics already don't believe in Jesus or in the Bible nor in Scripture and they believe that science is at odds with the biblical presentation.
I believe it's our duty to give reasonable answers to their questions both from scripture and the world around us as to why we believe.
If all you say is Jesus loves you, or that if you don't repent you're going to hell, you're not going to get many people listening, people will quickly turn their face away.
These channels exist to try to give people reasonable answers leading to God's truth without them turning their face away. It's not one size fits all, otherwise we would all point to just one video presentation and say that's it.
"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience..." We are commanded to be prepared to defend the Gospel. Yes, Jesus is the answer, and yes, the Holy Spirit convicts. But we must not abrogate our part. Just hitting someone with, "Y'all need Jesus" is not enough. But we must also be respectful and prayerful.
Agreed, as Titus 3:9-11 declares warn a divisive person once and then warn him a second time after that have nothing to do with him.
I’ve only ever heard about crossed x
Truthunedited should definetely be on this list
Why is John Bevere not one that you can recommend his teaching is profound?!
Hi Matt, I wrote a very detailed comment on here that took me a while with adding as needed. My comment is gone from this particular video. And yet I see comments made the same day still here. What happened? Do you know?
Oh no!!! I have no idea what happened.
Sometimes UA-cam deletes it if you put in a link or certain words!
Check your comments history whether there is a pending status on it. 2. It could be accidentally posted under the next video if you were still typing while autoplay was on - this will also show in your comments history. 3. If neither is the case then it's gone - could be due to momentary loss of connection/server timeout. 4. Yes, yt doesn't allow links in the comments.
@@OnlyOneName -thank you
@@lionoffireraw -I put a link. I forgot about that. Thank you Matt!
Hi Matt,
You said you didn’t agree with a reformed evangelical church in a reply to me. Can you please clarify?
I’m not a Calvinist.
@@lionoffirerawok, I get it..I’m not sure either way, the bible has some verses that could point to Calvinism but to me it’s not big deal
That’s why Soteriology 101 is so good! It breaks down those verses well. Check it out 😃
Love Melissa's channel. My wife and I have watched alot of her vids. Interested in your thoughts on 'behold Israel with Amir Tsarfati'?
He seems good, from the little I've seen of him!
@@lionoffireraw ok thanx mate. He does alot of good sermons in context from what we've watched and good updates about what's happening in Israel. I think we should pay attention to what happens in Israel for end time prophecy fulfillments. Also another channel is Spencer Smith and his Third Adam series. I feel he has maybe gotten a bit too fanatical so stopped watching his content for now.
Amir is excellent on bible prophecy. His perspective as a Messianic Jew is very helpful in understanding Israel's place in God's plans
I do find him (Spencer Smith) too fanatical, personally.
I’m not a fan of his demeanour!
It’s always negative stuff, that is a distraction a lot of the time imo.
@@catherinemclernon2550 yeah for sure👌😁
Another great channel is called "Whoever has the Son", it used to be called 1nemind.
Matt, what do you think of:
Voddie Baucham
Paul Washer
RC Sproul
John McArthur
Todd Friel (Wretched)
Charles Spurgeon
We listen to and read their books. Wondering what your overall thoughts are.
Thanks! 🙏🏻✝️
They teach a lot of solid biblical truth.
My issue however is that they are Calvinist. That’s why I recommend Leighton Flower’s channel.
There is much to learn from these men that you mentioned, but be careful not to believe the Calvinism that they teach!
@@lionoffirerawthanks Matt! What about Calvinism is not Biblical? I’m new to learning about Calvinism.
I follow all these channels 😅❤ exceot Give me an answer
Oh man, I just became a Calvinist.
Leighton Flowers is great. Give him a listen!
Beloved, be a Christian grounded on scripture. Take GOD at his word. Do not let the traditions/doctrines & empty philosophies of men take you captive. Our LORD JESUS CHRIST warned us about treating the commands of man as commands from GOD while he concurrently rebuked the Pharisees & Sadducees (Matthew 15:9). With love & grace.
I agree with your first 4 brother. The doctrine of election and predestination is a real rub point. If I get into the Kingdom because of my smart choice and my unsaved family don’t, then do I enter marveling at my choice or is it more feasible to give God all the glory for doing what I couldn’t and didn’t want to do ?
If we remove our choice, then we remove the choice of those who go to hell. It works both ways, and God gets the credit for that too.
His salvation is available to all, and we need only accept it by faith, under the illuminating grace of his Holy Spirit 🙏
It’s not about being smarter, or anything like that. Just like the Christian who grows in sanctification more than another, it’s by God’s grace! Same thing.
Somehow God is able to do both. Jesus exists beyond what we perceive as time. He exists in all time at the same time. He cannot learn anything new because He knows all things. There are many examples of God giving people the ability to choose. He sets a choice before them. Like believe or don't believe. But with each choice there are circumstances. He gives us freewill to make those choices. But because God knows all things He knows what we will do but somehow has provisions for choices. That is a hard concept ro understand but it exist in the scriptures otherwise the choices would not be given. God cannot lie.
I will give you an example. He gave is Isreal a choice. Follow Him and be blessed or reject Him and be cursed. They made a choice. But God knew what they would do. Same as with Adam. God knew Adam would sin. God knew satan would rebel. But God had already made a way of atonement.
Don't underestimate what God is capable of. Read a book called 2 ezra or 4 ezra. God explains some of these things in it.
Feom the beginning if everyone had obeyed the voice of God until now there would not not be one single person going to hell but each has made their own choice. God offered Cain a way to repent. But Cain chose to kill his brother and it all went downhill from there.
Yes, if you remove someone’s ability to respond they are by definition not responsible (response-able). That gives the sinner the PERFECT reason for rejecting God (God made him unable to accept him).
I’m a believe the calvinist interpretation myself (if it comes down to it, as it’s a secondary point) but Calvinism is just a systematic theology, it’s not the gospel. I have no problem with Arminians and Provisionists as the gospel is about Christ and his death, burial and resurrection.
Calvanism is a,,, CULT. We gladly mark JW's or Mormons and sometimes catholics yet we tippy toe around calvanism? It takes time, desire and the want to learn why Calvanism is so, so bad. You will learn more than you need at Beyond the Fundamentals with Mr Thompson. We did and are so grateful as our spirit was calmed.
Liberty Fellowship MT is definitely one source that I would highly recommend.
Frank Turek's view on theodicy is highly problematic, which an Atheist named David Silverman exposed in a debate.
What about Calvinism is not biblical? I thought it was.
This video below (38 mins) is a great place to start ⬇️
ua-cam.com/video/jgmJmY0-XdM/v-deo.htmlsi=s00lPSXfASP_1yml
Also this is something many don’t know ⬇️
The early church fathers who were taught directly by the apostles (who wrote the Bible) never believed that God chose some before birth and rejected others before birth. This doctrine was introduced into the church hundreds of years later by Augustine (who was influenced by his involvement in the gnostic cult of the Manichaean faith for 9 years).
Rck Renner is also an excellent Teacher and Pastor.
One can receive excellent New Testament Greek lessons from Rick Renner. Also, one may learn tidbits of Hebrew from Gideon Levytam through his program "Holy Scriptures and Israel".
Wow im so sad you recommended Frank turek. I followed him until he went to saddleback and and thanked his 'good friend' rick warren(unholy liar) fir ketting him ve there. He also says harry potter is fine and just like jesus and a great movie to watch. Frank is a liar. He needs to get right with God.
I warned goodfight ministries about him, and they dropped him from their podcasts and radio. And SPOKE OUT against this false man of God.
I dont expect to agree with every point of view, but when people are being led astray, especially young christians like yoursellf, we need to call these men out.
These are truely the end times, liars and deceivers every where.
Research, and thinkb about retracting your recommendation
Gid bless brother. Stay alert in Jesus Mighty name
I like the Soteriology 101 mention! I used ro listen to him for hours especially when I worked at Food Lion! 😂
He’s the best!!
The biggest problem with Leighton Flowers is his leaning towards semi-Pelagian doctrine/he denies original sin.
He believes that we are born with a sin nature, rather than we are guilty because of what Adam did. He believes that as a result of the fall, we inherited a sin nature. He doesn’t believe that a person can come to God without the illuminating grace of the Holy Spirit (which is present in the provision of the gospel, as it is preached).
He is not a semi-palagian. That’s a massive straw-man that shows that a person doesn’t understand his position. He’s addressed this many times!
@@lionoffireraw I second that
@@lionoffireraw
ua-cam.com/video/RwlLcDhakdw/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ChristianVideos
Red Pen Logic and Stand To Reason are two more great channels.
You say ”Almost all of his theology”. What part don’t you agree with? @Lion of Fire RAW
There’s nothing that I can think of. I only said that, just in case there’s something that comes up that I happen to not agree with. He’s very good.
@@lionoffireraw thank you for your kind answer @Lion of Fire RAW. May I ask what congregation you are in? I am, nowadays, mostly in a Pentecoastal church. I live in Sweden. Be blessed, friend!
I’m in a Baptist Church, but I don’t identify personally as a denomination 😊
I really love Leighton Flowers. he is humble rather than dogmatic. But he really knows the word of God.And knows how to interpret it without putting his own spin on it. It is so difficult to do that, but somehow he is able to show what it actually says rather than what people have always said about it.
Leighton Flowers was never a Calvinist but misrepresents and mischaracterizes Calvinism. Furthermore, he teaches that one can choose God unaided by the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit calls everyone, but people reject Him, which is blasphemy, which is the only unforgivable sin that leads to death.
Being “chosen” or who God “chooses”, is done from eternity past… God “chose” to save all who accept and follow Jesus. It’s plain and simple.
@@AI_Talks_About_The_Bible How is the sin of unbelief unforgivable if Jesus died for ALL sins?
That’s a misrepresentation of Leighton.
He believes in illuminating grace, which is present in the gospel. Ironically, he understands Calvinism better than those who profess to believe in Calvinism.
@lionoffireraw And yet, I am not one of them. "Illuminating grace" what does that mean? Does Flowers believe that man can come to God unaided by the Holy Spirit? Yes or no. Flowers is a Pelagianist.
@lionoffireraw I am not one of those Calvinists. "Illuminating grace." What does that mean? Does Flowers teach that man has the ability to come to God unaided by the Holy Spirit? Yes or no
Hmm.. it's all very click baity and talking about others. Is that what this channel is? I'm new.
I actually very rarely talk about others in my videos. It just happens that the last few videos I have done a series.
Have a look at the videos on the channel, and you will see that it’s just me talking 95% of the time.
I asked both Melissa Doherty and Cross Examined about Job 14:13 and BOTH of them just removed my comment rather than answer me.
Sorry, but I dont agree with your top 5.
What’s your questioning about that verse?
@@AI_Talks_About_The_Bible Did Job believe in re-incarnation? Or did the pre-flood peoples understand God's plan for salvation through Jesus (resurrection)?
When you read that passage, it seems that Job sees sheol (the grave) as a temporary destination
@@AmbianEagleheart Did they remove your comment or did you post a huge comment that got filtered out as spam and/or put links in your comment? It's highly unlikely that a channel as large as hers with as many comment as she receives would take the time to search out and delete a comment that was merely asking a simple question about Job.
@@josephpchajek2685 it was removed and no, it was barely larger than the comment you just read.
I do NOT recommend this 'christian' channel. Buy scholarly books and commentaries. Turek? lol. Hell no!! Cliffe? His son? People. leave these apologists and read the scholars
Jesus rebuked the “scholars” of the day!
It’s not about that!
lol. Ignorance is rampant with this guy
@@lionoffirerawyou're not anywhere near well-read
@@lionoffireraw yeah, these biblical scholars who’ve dedicated their lives and sharing their insights and expertise are so evil. Then you misquote or misinterpret whatever you’re trying to say about what Jesus said. Next time you need to go to a doctor just go on the street and ask anyone to help you when you have a medical problem or if problems with your car just go to a person who has no training. People like you are the reason why people are waking up and leaving Christianity. That‘s a good thing because people like me and others who know the Bible a helluvalot better than you are able to speak out more now and recommend scholarship and legitimate PhD’s - NOT apologists!
So you aren't Calvinist? I'm glad haha!
I’m definitely not a Calvinist!!
I still didn't make the list but melissa dougherty did. Listening to a women teach about the bible is like being raised by a single mother
