Love the way you teach! We have home Bible Study group once a week and you are our new teacher, nice to meet you! I put you on the TV through my internet connection and our group just hangs on to the beautiful, clear sound teaching you bring, what a refreshing blessing, thank you. Would love your numbers to grow because it is just sooo worth it! Bless you, from South Africa.
That is so neat to hear! I pray that you would be blessed! Is your group going to be doing the Romans series it progresses or something else?
Yes, doing Romans overview next week and then into the full Romans study week after that. It is a foggy area for two Hebrew "Rooters" in our group so I am sure the Holy Spirit will use these two studies to bring clarity to them on the issue of THE LAW. My sister attends Calvery Chapel here in Cape Town so I am going to introduce them to you, a young and vibrant little group. I am Evangelical Reformed but same conservative, "Bible only" approach. Love and blessings to your congregation from Cape Town South Africa.
That all sounds pretty exciting to me! Tell everyone that I said hi!
@@MikeWinger I am confused Pstr. Mike. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Paul was imprisoned in Rome and he wrote there the epistles of Philippians, Ephesians, Colossians and Philemon known as the 4 prison epistles. Thanks and GOD bless
@@yingprestosa7459 hey did you find out the answer to your question?
"never have an excuse for sin, only an apology"... That was spot on!
I just wrote this in my notes, on the Bible app and Facebook.
This is so good. Every Christian needs to hear this!! Mainly talking about myself lolll
@@kryslalwow - I absolutely agree .. It.s so awesome , I have been watching & rewatching this series since it first came out , and there is something new each time that I overlooked . Enjoy sister ! Pastor Mike is such a good teacher ..
"Never have an excuse for sin; just have an apology." Yes, so succinct. I will remember this.
and... If you give an excuse for sin, you're preparing yourself to be a save to it
Amen, love it

It’s weird cuz my friend always says “God doesn’t want sorry,” but I think his point is that we don’t need to mope since we have free forgiveness. Mike has a different point, that we shouldn’t excuse our sins but go to God.
@@JosephLachh maybe that friend could also mean that God doesn’t just want the word sorry but true repentance- turning away from the act.
This Is 4 years old. Look at how the legacy continues to bless us! Mike you are an absolute Treasure!
Watching this in 2023. So many people will be blessed by this series! My daughter is 7 months old. If she ever has a question about Romans when she grows up, I’m sending her this playlist!!
Thanks Mike!!! Thankful to the Lord for your ministry and your faithfulness to teach the Word verse by verse carefully and thoughtfully. I am not learning this stuff at church and I’m grateful that I can be under a teacher like you. I wanted for so long to leave the church I was at to find a Mike Winger pastor but have recently come to the conclusion that I need to become a Mike Winger-Bible thinker myself! I don’t necessarily need a perfect teaching pastor but I do need to do my own studying and growing outside of Sunday and bible studies.
Thanks for your teachings and your zeal for God. It is encouraging!!
Thank you for this teaching. I'm reading through the book of Romans right now. I wanted to share this with someone who would appreciate it. In 1981, at the age of 31, I accepted Jesus Christ as my savior in a Southern Baptist Church. It was a very dramatic, profound, and life changing experience of repentance and walking from darkness into light.
A couple weeks after I was first saved our pastor read from Romans 8:38-39. "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Upon hearing this passage for the first time - I started bawling in the middle of the service with a couple hundred people in attendance. I was surrounded by these long-time church members who barely knew me, so it was embarrassing. I'm not the type of person who wants to be the center of attention (very introverted). Those verses touched me to my very core and they are still some of my favorites. 😭😭😭
I follow you and listen to you every night you’re 20 questions. You had mentioned your Romans series study. Well, here I am, and I am so enjoying it. You still have your sparkling personality. You are a joy and such a wonderful teacher.
Thank you, God, for using Mike as a vessel to make your words relatable to us in an understanding, understandable way! Mike, you are a blessing to those seeking God. Thank you for listening to His calling on your heart to do this for Him. We have been blessed by Him thru you.
Love your channel Mike ❤ I came out of New Age beliefs and occult 12 years ago. It's so important to study God's word so we don't get lead astray with false gospels. I've made my own channel where I teach verse by verse Bible studies, prayer, scripture explaining on topics,and personal testimonials. It's been a blessing. Thanks for your faithfulness
thank you for putting these on youtube, it is so helping me with understanding Romans!
Thank you so much for keeping these videos up Mike, I'm just starting working through this Romans series and am grateful to have this teaching. God bless you 💕🙏
Great insights and exposition. Too many people are overawed by Romans - they feel it is too difficult to understand - and miss the blessing and instruction - understanding the how and why of their faith. Look forward to following the entire series.
I have been listening to an audio book of Romans and I find Paul hard to listen to sometimes, trying to understand what he's getting at or about to get at. Often it means listening all the way through a chapter to get the content, then going back and listening again to clarify what he actually means. So your summary Mike is a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much. I will be following your channel and facebook. Blessings from New Zealand
Amen.
Romans have always been one of my most favorite books in the bible. I'm enjoying this!
Wow this is incredible, Mike...I very much enjoy biblical book overviews so you can properly understand the context of that book, so they aren't something new to me...but I have to say this is the best one Ive ever come across...the way that you efficiently yet adequately and understandably unpacked the flow of all the chapters of Romans...I thank God for your gift of teaching. I personally have an appetite for theology and study, but sometimes those more theological teacher types can be sooo smart that I think they have a hard time breaking it down at a level that everyone can understand...but you do this beautifully! I only wish you had an overview for every book of the bible! And then verse by verse teachings too!! 😆 Thank you and I pray that God continues to bless you and your ministry.
Six years later, I'm finally starting this series. Super excited!!
Thanks Mike, this is an excellent introduction to the central New Testament text. Grateful for your preparation and insight, must have taken many hours to prepare. Although, it is clear that this is a labour of love, thanks for making it available for everyone. May God continue to bless you!
Excellent teaching, we need more of this and these overviews, to save us from extremes and mini-doctrines way out of whack. Keep up the goood work!
Starting in Romans. So thankful I found a Romans study with Pastor Mike.
As a missionary in Asia for 27 years, I appreciate your teaching. Keep up the good work Mike.
Sooo excited to go through this process of really learning and Knowing what the book of Romans is all about...and discover why I've always loved it so much! Lol. Thanks, Mr Winger. I'm super excited. Going to do my "homework" this week and come back to DIVE IN! 🎉
TY TY TY I am so grateful and humbled. Never ever gets old .... the study. Everything falls away in my mind and it's worries and it's fears and it's nonsense etc WHEN I stop and read and listen and go back to the Word. Where would we be without HIM.
Your exposition of the book of Romans is great. I have enjoyed listening as you unfold the richness of the book bringing out the concept of the gospel as you progress.
Just stumbled upon your channel and I am so thankful! I’ve been reading through Romans and you’ve answered so many of my questions already. God bless you, brother.
Pastor Mike doesn’t cause people to stumble 🤣 lol
I saw that you were doing this study last year. However, I was nowhere near Romans in my reading. Therefore, I put it in my mind to return to it when I began reading Romans. So here I am, looking forward to a journey that is past for you. Also looking forward to your verse by verse exposition of Hebrews. God bless! 🙏🏼
Thank you for this series Mike - I am looking forward to going through the entire book of Romans. Your teaching series comes as an answer to prayer - been wanting to study the book of Romans for a while now, but needed a good resource guide. I have only watched the lecture on the overview to the Book of Romans - but I know this series will be hugely instructional. God Bless you and your work!
Thank you Pastor Mike. Looking forward to the rest of the study!!!
Thanks., was hungry for expository non-Calvinistic Bible teachings,. Your message and Pastor Swindoll were the two that satisfied my hunger, still wrestling and leaving.
BTW, I worshipped at Hosanna Bellflower about 20 years ago, PTL that I found your channel.
Tonight I went back in time (4years ago?) and found this overview of Romans by Pastor Winger. This goes so well with N.T. Wright’s overview of Romans. Romans is so rich and deep. This is so helpful as a review and overview. To understand Romans, it has helped me to always consider the entire book and who is the audience and when it was written, and always consider the OT references Paul uses (as Winger points out).
Wow, nearly 107K views.
So what’s wrong with 80’s shorts? Back to cleaning out my closet I guess.
Thank you for putting these on youtube. I'm starting the Romans in-depth study today. I would love to have others to go along with me, but for now, it's just me, and that's ok. I am praying that the Holy Spirit helps to guide me in my studies! I'll be following along with your videos, along with some other things I've found online.
Your channel is amazing I love it and it’s helping me in my spiritual walk. May God continue to bless you as you use to talent to bless others
Thank you for your teaching and allowing God to use you to give meat to His kingdom. I truly appreciate it, and really get so much from your teachings.
Man ! my spirit jumps for joy to hear you speak lol excellent teaching my friend ✝️
THANKS FOR YOU MESSAGES...I WANT MORE ON ROMANS ANDTHE EVIDENCE OF THE BIBLE YOU MENTIONED IN YOUR ROMANS OVERVIEW SERMON.GOD BLESS YOUR MISSION.
Thanks Bro Mike.
Finally, bible study without theological bias.
This is such a blessing, thank you for sharing this online! ✝️
Excellent overview of each chapter of the book of Romans.Thank you. 🙏
Thank you for clarifying teaching Mike!! I love the way you described that Glorious Peace which is not a cease-fire peace, but of course on the other hand if a person should fall into complete rebellion that Peace will be lost? Whether it will be regained is a matter of repentance and God's Grace?
Wow I do believe you are a man after my own heart!👐
Thank you so very much for applying Gods gift of teaching and bringing the Bible alive and understandable/relatable for all levels of maturity in Christ.
I am for the first time leading a Study in my church, and I chose the Book of Romans.
I received some concern that this book might not be appropriate for new or less mature believers, but I think not. And after watching this video, I now know NOT.
I recall when I first came to Christ and had absolutely 0 knowledge of the scriptures, but my hunger to know was insatiable and that led me to seek out every study I could possibly partake in at my church or in small group home studies. I remember Romans being one of the 1st ones in a home study and I can remember that I couldn’t wait for the next meeting to come around. I was so deeply effected by this masterpiece of Paul’s and I just knew it was very special. I also would not say that it seemed too difficult for my level of understanding either, in fact I so believe in the Holy Spirit revealing all the truths of God and knew I was ready because I sought after truth and God desperately wanted to meet me there. Later I was introduced to BSF international and they just happened to be in Romans that year so I really was able to have guidance I needed. Well here I am 20 yrs later, and now sharing this beautiful, life changing book with my fellow believers and was asked if I would lead them!! I’m honestly honored and feel blessed beyond measure to take on this role in all humbleness ☺️ So I know God just led me to your channel and I will be showing your video to the group as an introduction before we get into our study books next week(using Irving L. Jensen inductive Bible study guide).
You have a passion, insight and gifted ability from the Lord that is tangible. I have been told that from others as well and I’m so ecstatic to realize this as my spiritual gift.
So from one heart for His living, breathing, word eternal to another, Thank you Thank you Thank you……..
…….and Be Blessed as you are a Blessing to others….🕊✝️🕊
Thankful this video is still available ❤️
It was a good lesson of the book of Romans,a birds eye view of understanding who we are, humans, that have a sinful nature, and the struggle involved becoming children of God, and if we don't know what is going on as born again creature of God, we will despair and give up but once we do, we have hope in growing and developing Christ within us, and how it extended God's grace to give us power to become full blooded children of God through Christ dying for us, I loved the thought process through the teaching to the end.
Awesome!This should keep me busy for about a month lol I’m stoked 🤙
I really love watching you.Please can you make also a video in the Book of Revelation. Thank you God Bless.
Yes, Revelation would be awesome and Hebrews too.
Yes please make a video on Revelation because this book nearly never made it into the Bible due to being a little bit too whacky.
Mark series complete, Romans series here I come
Love the way you did it
Another great video pastor.
Tyvm , good teaching...thank you Jesus
3 year old series done by bro Mike Winger.
Verse by verse study on Romans.
I have no reason to not autoplay this whole playlist for the next few days.
May we be established 🙏✝️
I just found you on UA-cam by chance...or was it? I am loving the way you teach and I am so excited to get started. This is day 1 with your teaching the Book of Romans.
Chapter one is amazing how Paul gave us the vision how GOD see the wicked world among the ungodly among us. That is why GOD said, "come ye out from among them".
Please pray for me I need your intercession thank you 🙏
This was awesome. Thanks, Mike!
Hey there brother Mike. I’m a youth pastor at my church and recently I’ve stumbled upon what may seem to be contradicting verses. Paul states that Abraham was saved through faith, but James states that Abraham was justified by works and by faith. My church generally teaches that by faith ONLY is a man justified. I’ve come to my own conclusions but I think it would be great if you did a Bible study on James or at least go over those verses in James. Thank you! God bless.
Hey brother, sorry I’m no Mike Winger but I see it’s been a month since you asked this so I figured I’d give a response for you and anyone who sees this comment with the same question. Short answer: there is no contradiction; Paul and James do not have two different opinions on how one can be saved, but rather two different emphases. Paul emphasizes trusting in Jesus’s righteousness alone for salvation, James emphasizes the fact that true, saving faith is not just general belief but acceptance of Jesus as Lord and King of your life.
It has been said that we are all natural-born legalists (our natural tendency is to believe that we have to work to earn our salvation). This is a very common view that is completely contrary to the gospel (grace through faith alone), so Paul wrote at great length emphasizing the role of faith and complete trust in Jesus’ righteousness for our salvation. Unfortunately, some people can take Paul’s teachings too far and say things like, “All you need is just a general belief that Jesus is savior, pray a little prayer, and then you’re good to go and can live however you want and still get into heaven.” This is sometimes called “Free Grace Theology.” This view is also contrary to the gospel, as true faith includes repentance and surrendering to Jesus. That’s why Paul himself refutes this stance in multiple places, the first one that comes to my mind is Romans 6, there’s also 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, and more. James wrote his epistle largely to refute free grace theology, but even in it he does mention the salvific role of faith apart from works. Check out James 2:17-19:
"...Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith; I have works.” Show me your faith apart from works, and I will show you my faith by what I do. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that-and shudder.”
In other words, James points out that just general belief and acceptance of the facts of the gospel is not enough. Even the demons know all the essential truths about the gospel. Pointing that out is a major focus for this epistle, but James wants to make sure that nobody takes his statements too far, and that’s why he says verse 18: “But someone will say...by what I do.” Somebody may hear the gospel, and think, “That’s foolishness, I am not going to entrust my eternity on faith, I have to earn it! You trust in faith alone? Well, I have good works so I’ll trust in my own deeds!” To that, James reply is essentially, “No! Show me your faith apart from works (put your faith in Jesus, not your good deeds), and as for me, I will prove that my faith is genuine by my works.”
We are saved by faith, and good works follow. Paul’s frequent emphasis was on the fact that our good works can’t save us, and it is only by God’s grace through our faith in his righteous sacrifice. James frequent emphasis was on the fact that true faith will manifest in the form of a transformed life that bows to Jesus as Lord.
@@cannongilbert9744 Thank you for you comment, brother. I had questioned so many things at the time regarding faith and works, and it got me to read the bible more and more to try and understand it. Now I can say i happily understand what it means, and I agree with everything you've stated. There is no contradiction at all. Thanks again for taking the time to explain it to me. God bless you.
@@radioactivepizza9617 Awesome that's super encouraging to hear! God bless you too.
Sound teaching! Thank you!
Grace, Peace, n LOVE to You Brethren there from GOD, from HIS People here in The ILL-State. We have been Blessed by Your dialogues with the Teformed Brothers (not so different, uh -same Exegesis in Biblical Hermeneutic, same result!!-)
looking forward to watch this study.
Fantastic job! Thanks for posting!
5:20 nice audio repair - I think that a bit of audio was lost from the original recording and you patched it with audio from a recording from a backup mic?
Hello Mike, thank you for your teachings. I know you're a busy man but have you ever considered doing a verse be verse teaching on James? I struggle with the sin of legalism and scrupulous/OCD. And I have times when I can understand God's grace and salvation in Christ but when my mind is chaotic the Book of James confuses me and it will help to have a sound teaching to go to when I'm struggling. Thanks for all your service to the Lord.
I've been doing my devotionals in James
hi, jesus saves us from sin yet we still sin. so how to explain? is the christian free from sin??? yes and no. does jesus excuse sin? i dont think so, yet he understands us when we sin. OCD is not sin, i think, its silly to think it is like saying being in a wheel chair is sin. yes it leads to sin as anything but you are in same boat, i believe, as many, if not all. i could descibe my own faith diminishing struggles, a very long list, but faith says screw u!! My list would out do urs. Put me to the test. but what matters most is faith. Literally are you saving u or did you reach out for help because u knew u were screwed. do u still kno u are screwed well then u are blessed. if u think u are well then u loose life but if u know u are unwell then u gain life. reading truth and being diserning with the constant lies impressed upon us all helps. try to trust even though it makes no sense. read then believe. ask for less confusion and for wisdom. he who asks for wisdom will reicieve.

Very useful. If you give subtitle it will be good.
Please can you activate the subtitles and if possible, the Spanish one.
There are many in scripture that had a zeal for the word but lacked a complete understanding. Many who preached with zeal, but needed to be brought up to date with their understanding, Most of those mentioned were humble and made instant progress Peter who helped one also himself needed to make adjustment's did he not but he did so what do you think about his Mike? Where is the Kingdom of God do we agree with what the bible teaches or not?
Pstr. Mike, I came across your channel last other week and since then I regularly visit it. I am so blessed with you, you know. But am confused now. You said Paul hasn't been in Rome. But wasn't it he wrote his 4 prison epistles which are Philippians, Ephesians, Colossians and Philemon while he was imprisoned therein? Please enlighten me about this matter.
I hope to receive your reply the soonest time. We have our regular Bible study at home and I want to share your teachings. Also I am about to start my discipleship to some women in the neighborhood.
Thank you very much! GOD bless you more wisdom and use you continually in spreading HIS WORD! 🙏
Romans was written before them, but yes you're right, Paul had been to Rome; he just hadn't established any churches.
This was amazing
It was written in part because of a return of Jewish Believers from exile from Rome. The way to keep unity over issues that were similar in other churches were being experienced there.
Hi Mike, would it be possible to switch for all your movies, including the bit older ones the auto caption on? If not on yet? Makes it easier to follow especially for some when English might be their second or third language
Good video. Thank you.
The Book of Romans is Paul's condensed chronology of history given to the Romans who may not know it.
Chapter 1 = pre flood / Tower of Babel
Chapter 2-4 = Jewish history / The Law
Chapter 5 - 7 = Jesus, Grace & Truth
Chapters 8 onward, how to live the Christian life in faith.
Then later there are some references to end times, the remnant of Israel and grafting them back in etc...
Thank you !!!!!
How do I find your other teachings on Romans?
Paul is not who most people think he is
I'm seeing this 7 years late. But did you do a series in Romans?
24:00. That reminds me of how Augustine, calvin, and Luther all used those chapters to support anti-Semitism and buring unbelievers Alive. Context and intent are so important or we create doctrines based on the Spirit of the world rather then on Christ. Just as Paul warns against in Colossians. ❤
Calvin and Luther were NOT for burning unbelievers all that I've found that was the evil rcc along with dislikeing the Jews , you've got your info what from rcc? The Brewers of spiritual deception , check the facts next time corneilous!
@@bornagain9192 then you need to look a little harder. There are plenty of quotes on how they felt. Calvin himself spewed the vilest of things against his opponents. The systems they were willingly apart of, burned people alive, and Calvin turned his own family in and supported their stoning for adultry. You can hero worship if you want, but I just encourage you to look into it objectively. Maybe you arent finding it cause you dont want to? Idk. But it's not hard to find with the ease of access we have to information Today. I hope you educate yourself on the systems they were apart of and the horrible things that went on in the name of Christ by both the reformers and RCC. Really no different in spirit. Look up balthazar hubmyer. He was an annabaptist, he spoke up and said we should not be like Rome. He said we should not win over people with fire and sword, but love, patience, and prayer. They killed him. And drowned his wife. Every one of those men had nothing to say about the behavior against it. So, I'd encourage you to just look into it. I could care less if you believe me. The info is there for anyone who cares to objectively look into how the reformers and puritans treated people. Not much different then the RCC at the time of agustine as well, whom also was not against the behavior.

The reason why Roman's is unique is because there is no church there. Meaning Roman's was a conscription.
I've always struggled with Romans 4. Paul seems to think Abraham was some great man of faith that never waivered but my Bible tells a different story.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Do you have more videos on each chapter of Romans?
G'day, Pastor Winger! Are Romans 1:16-17 included somewhere in this study? I'm not finding it listed in the chapters study by study.
It would be very helpful if you slowed down this video . Before you have the time to process the first thing you said , you already are on the 3, and 4 sentence . Video speed to fast.
Love his Bible teaching, but can someone get this guy a new shirt?
Can one get the Written notes?
What does Jesus say about the law of Slavery in the Old testament?
Mr Stanley Jesus came to set the captives free. Luke 4:11 For freedom Christ has set us free stand firm and do not become in bondage again Galatians 5:1 Jesus is our great liberator. There is no Jew nor Greek, slave or freeman male or female we are all one in Christ Jesus.Galatians:3:28 For we are all sons of god all who are in Christ .
Thanks!👍👍👍
excellent.
Even though Paul hadn't been to the Roman Church, he was still responding to a situation. Claudius had removed the Jews from Rome in 49 AD. The Jews had now returned in 54 AD after Claudius' death, to a predominantly Gentile Church. The tension between them was problematic. He attempts to unify them.
FAITH WITHOUT WORKS???
Please which book should I buy?
So, did your friend stop wearing those shorts or not?
All of this is great as long as we don’t forget about hebrews 10:26
what's the song at the end of this?
12:45 It seems that peace with God in this context indicates we were at WAR with God before? I understand His wrath, but enmity with His children?

Mike what is the Catholic definition of ex-communication ad how is it different from the biblical definition?
Thanks Kevin
I think that the main difference is in regards to indulgences, penance, confession, the treasury of merit, and mass. When a Catholic is excommunicated they are in constant sin which is not being dealt with (according to Catholic theology) through the channels of the Church. As I understand it, if I were a Catholic who was excommunicated I am not only being told that I have a sin which the Church is not helping me with I am also being separated from the means of grace which the Church provides. Each time I miss mass it is only adding guilt to myself, which is thought by many to be a mortal sin, and I am missing out on any chance to be absolved of the sins which I have committed since my last confession. I am basically stuck adding sin without an avenue to remove it because, in Catholicism, grace flows through the Church and I am separated from her. What I see as the biblical definition is much different and is merely a social separation to protect the local church from joining in the sin of the person and to allow for that person to feel the weight of the matter and hopefully repent.
Yes according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church someone who has been excommunicated is barred from receiving the sacraments which are the "normal means of grace" established by Christ for his Church. They are also barred from holding any office or ministry in the Church. Excommunication is meant to convince the person of their guilt so that they will hopefully seek reconciliation with the Church. Given Paul's statements in 1 Corinthians 5:5 that sounds pretty Biblical to me. The difference you are perceiving in the Catholic teaching and most Protestant churches teaching on excommunication is that the Protestant churches lack the authority to actually excommunicate anyone. If I as a Protestant were excommunicated from your church I could just start attending the church down the road that didn't have a problem with my particular beliefs. You mentioned Calvinism in this video most Protestants would disagree with Calvin's theology but a lot of them agree with him. Who's right? Who has the authority at the Baptist church to tell the Presbyterians that they are teaching false doctrine?
+kevin wynn How do parishes keep excommunicated people from attending mass if they relocate to a new parish and just start attending?
Of course a person could do that and it might take a while for the priest to catch on but they would be found out. Consider Paul's warning to the Corinthians in the same letter. (1 Corinthians 11:27-30) The Eucharist isn't just a symbol like it is in a protestant church. The Lord is the one who will judge them.
+kevin wynn please correct me if I am wrong but outside of divine judgment or someone "figuring it out" neither of us has a particular protection from someone just pretending they were not excommunicated. In that sense I think we are on equal ground and it is wrong to criticize churches for not being able to guard against liars. The church just isn't made with active liars in mind. But, many churches are aware of this problem and have tried to help by networking. If my church were aware of an excommunicated member (a rare thing) attending another church we would call that fellowship and let them know (and we have done this before).
❤❤❤
There are a lot of people claiming that the book of Revelation should not be in the Bible, do you have any plans on addressing this?
+Michael Cardone I don't have any plans for that but I do disagree. I believe it belongs in the Bible. I haven't heard anyone make a case otherwise though I am curious as to why they would say so. I have a few videos on the canon of the New Testament which generally address it but not with a focus on the book of Revelation in particular.
Michael Cardone have you even read the Bible? You are saying words without knowledge.
I have read the Bible, I was simply asking a question.
@@MikeWinger many people don't believe Revelation should be in the Bible because it says " a man will be judged by his works " about twenty times . It offends people who say ' faith alone "
@@thebiblestudyhelper9389 I believe this matter gets resolved when the Bible is studied disepensationally. Only the letters of Apostle Paul teach "faith alone". The 4 'gospels' Matt, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Hebrews, James, Peter, John, Jude and Revelation are grouped alongwith the "Circumcision Gospel" wherein works are required.
*A Satirical take on the Epistle to the Romans: Chapters 1,2~Paul's, writings are often a Projection of*
*Paul's Personality and Experience; he begins talking about God's wrath, judgment, and that men are without excuse (I think paul himself was an angry man and he was without excuse for his murders & he was under God's wrath/judgment which is why he received the death penalty later for violating God's law/6th commandment). Ch. 3~ Paul uses the word "boasting" which he says is excluded-yet Paul likes to Boast about his heritage, his sufferings, experience, his authority/ministry, and is generally very self-centered in his other writings. It seems like Paul is later mentally ill or crazy when he says, "I do not do the things I want to do, and do the things I do not want to do."*
clearly paul was transformed. one way or another. clearly an angry man and yet if going by the writtings a tranformed man. they said his great learning had driven him insane, did his transformation leave him more or less angry when he breathed out the inquisitorial death breath upon all the heritic jewy. did he then go on to say, after his transition, that he now loved the christians and as for the other side(the now heritic jews) that he be cursed aand cut off for them. so i do see perhaps jugment too but truely tempered with love? as for boasting this is a valid point.. clearly he boasts and boasts is wrong. so . is it all wrong? now he does say he boasts in his weaknesses. so there are two possiblities?? or 3 or more.. he boasts in his strengths, he boasts in his weaknesses(doesnt bmake sence), he boasts in god through his weaknesses. soooo boths sides are equally valid only that one would kno the mind of Paul but we dont kno him as hes gone. he may have been boastful or may not. he does protest about it?? but what if his boasts were valid in that these were his weaknesses where god came and worked through him and then he claimed he would boast all the more as it was really god he was boasting about?? maybe convincing maybe not.
I’m a Christian but I’m having trouble with the concept that Abraham was accounted as righteous bc of his faith. I mean, if the Creator of the Universe appears to you and says you’ll have a multitude of offspring and you believe Him, is that really faith? Is that the same sort of faith we exercise when we say we believe Jesus is the Son of God by faith? Not really. Not at all actually. The equivalent would be if God appeared to me and told me Jesus was the Son of God and I believed Him.
Well that's not the only thing that Abraham's faith was based on. And for all we know, Abrahams sin debt could have very well been covered by Jesus' Blood, even though it was before His crucifixion, there would be no problem for the Lord Jesus' saving grace to cover those in the past.
@@new_comment Paul uses that as a specific example so that’s what I’m assessing and it just doesn’t work. He didn’t believe God on faith. Imagine God appearing to you and telling you that the next day a brand new Lexus will appear in your garage. Would you have to believe Him on faith? Of course not.
A lot of good insights, but not a great exegesis of the book; especially Romans 7.
ok ask me? what u want to kno about 7. im being a little bold but what to say. tell me how you read 7? perhaps i will start 'is the law sinful? what is the answer, what paul say?? what he say first and what he say second?? what he say and then say NEVER THE LESS . does Paul have any history or parchant for saying one thing and yet meanening the other?
is sin and law inextorably linked, is the fall inextorably linked to a knoledge of good and evil
