God does not keep the Holy Spirit only to those with degrees and credentials, only to professional religious people, but gives the power to be prophets and healers to all who are open to his gifts. By Pastor Lars Hammar, September 29, 2024

    While I lament Bonhoeffer’s demise sans elaboration, I am disappointed with this explanation. I thought some of your contextual explanations were valid and I learned a bit. Less impressive was your assumption that modern Christians are lingering to “same old beliefs” about scriptural principles, while contrasting that to the more presumably more valid “same old” Enlightenment assumptions. This is classic ad hominem. I’m stunner at the use of the term “a priori” as a posture when anyone who’s read Kant knows it’s an epistemology. Your efforts are respected, but I see you as a preacher…hardly a teacher

    Wisdom of the gods I don't believe in god; but I believe in the myth of the gods, and I enjoy religion. I don't believe in divine men; but I believe in heroines and great men; and I believe in honoring them. I don't have much belief in faith; and I don't have much faith in belief, either; but I do give credence to the wisdom of the people's gods. From a secular view, the Hebrew Bible is a major icon of the Western Culture, as great or greater than Homer, Virgil or Shakespeare. There are no greater myths (stories) than the Creation stories, Adam and Eve, the Flood and the Ten Commandments, Job, Jonah, Ecleasiastes, Song of Songs, et cetera. Where is there hope without god? Where do I get my morality? To whom do I bend a knee? We pray, we davon, like we sing and dance. With joy, sorrow, and gratitude. With love and hope for the good of mankind. ## ## ## After the divine Dionysus, Achilles, Romulus, and Ceasar Augustus, all born of virgins, all sons of gods, all rose up to heaven, no one has ever again become Divine. All successors are surely copies and fakes. The first written evidence of a deiti were recorded in Egypt from the Early Dynastic Period (cerca 3,100 - 2,686 BCE), long before the Christian era. The first historical record of a crucifixion was around 519 BCE, by the Persians. (Heradotus).

    I was memorizing this verse the past two weeks. In Amharic, it doesn't explain it the same way it's rather more general. If I could translate it for full context, it says; My heart burned and my kidneys have melted, I am contempted and I didn't know, and I became like an animal towards you... Honestly, I used to think of it as a warrior's way of explaining things, anyways when I read the English version I was in tears. I remember an accurate time I was like that in front of God about a year ago and how that would've potentially destroyed my life if it wasn't for God's gentle care and guidance. I understand Asaph word for word now. Thank God who knows how to restore and hold. I am forever grateful for his love and it's my honor to have him as my forever portion. Thank you so much for sharing this.

    Here is proof that the baptism of Jesus is so needed...... Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.... Acts 19:2-5 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ❤

    The believers have grown weak because God's Holy Word, the Foundation, is changing constantly with new versions, just like the new age which introduced new religions every week! The King James Bible is mathematically perfect see "Truth Is Christ". Numerics prove man could not be the author. China is writing a new version, A.I. is producing a new version, the list goes on. "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God."

    So you think that Jim Dobson (Focus on the Family) would "theologically" contaminate you 🤔. And your statement calling Jim Dobson "anti-gay" sounds like you're "pro-sexual perversion". I see that you're a pastor of a *fallen ELCA* church, which doesn't hold up to Lutheran orthodoxy. You obviously do not know Christ.

    The Religious Right have merged with the Conservative Party in the United States to become one entity, much like what occured in The Third Reich under Adolf Hitler. The stated goal of the Religious Right Leadership is to install a Theocratic Autocracy upon an increasingly secular population. The parallels between Germany in the 1930's and the United States at this moment in 2024, are alarming. I watched it slowly evolve during the 1970's with Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority movement, and its close affiliation with the GOP, as a means to grab power and control. Christ has been used as a prop to attain it. Weave patriotism, mythologies, and a self centered Christianity together and we get a new version of what the Nazi Party accomplished by merging Church and State into one entity under Herr Hitler. V. Putin has done the same in Russia, as in other nation states around the globe. It is tragic that Bonhoeffer's wtitings have not been taught in US History classes concerning the development of Fascism, what it is, and how it goes about consolidating power to gain control. We are watching it unfold in real time in the here and now. Many Christians are ignorant of History, and are blinded by the prospect of domination, wealth, and worldly ambition. God's Kingdom is not built upon man's foundational structures, but in the hearts of His disciples, living in the world, but serving Him, and tending to the needs of those all around us. Worldly ambition and grasping power is an exact contradiction to the teachings of Jesus. I contend that this is a false gospel that would attempt to reshape true faith into a political/ religious organization, using coersive laws to impose legalistic rules upon society. The fruit of that is greed and lust for power. That is what the serpent offered Eve, and through her, to Adam, and here we are, right where it all started. A self serving religion is not true religion at all. "True religion and undefiled is to love God with the whole heart, and to care for the orphan and the widow in their distress."" I will tell thee, oh man, what is good, and what does the Lord require of thee, but to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with thy God" We need God at the center of our beings to live that out. Thank you for this presentation, and for the warning about Eric Metaxis's scewed version of Bonhoeffer's biography. Metaxis is part of the Religious Right Nationalist's usurpation of true faith in the Jesus of the scriptures.

    It’s blasphemy to call your protestant CULT a church. Only Jesus can found a Church which he did two thousand year’s ago called the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church which is also his mystical body on earth! To reject the holy Catholic Church is to reject Jesus Christ himself. Protestant’s belong to 40,000+ man made CULTS which are Pagan and anti Christ. To call protestant’s Christian is unbiblical heretical anti Christ and blasphemy! Only Catholic’s go to Heaven because there’s NO division’s in paradise. And the unity prayer that Jesus spoke of was for the unity of Catholic’s and Jew’s which is still to be answered. Watch Don’t call protestant’s Christian! The Papacy can not be destroyed. The warning or illumination of conscience by Christine Watkins. Following padre Pio who show’s the true beauty of Catholicism which is everyone’s true home! If a person wilfully rejects the holy Catholic Church they are damned - it’s as simple as that. God bless. Ps please protestant’s leave your man made protestant CULTS and come home!

    Here in the UK we do not have a State religion, but the Queen, as Head of State, is also Head of the Church and Defender of the Faith. An interesting paradox. We do not pay church taxes and each individual Parish has to find funds to help keep the Church building whole but the Church of England does have huge invested wealth which is used to pay Priests and help with the running of Parishes. Now we have a new Monarch who styles himself Defender of all Faiths but is a practicing Christian. His son, our next Monarch, says he has no affiliation with Christianity or interest in the Church. Are we heading towards Religionless Christianity? As I have grown older my position has changed and now I view a secular society as one in grave danger: was it Jung or Nietzsche who suggested that God is dead and in that case humanity will replace Him with another God? I fear we have reached that point in Europe.

    • @subcitizen2012
      @subcitizen2012 7 месяцев назад

      Mataxas is generally appropriating Bonhoeffer in an American context as an appeal towards general theocratic governance, ie Christian nationalism, ie political Christianity that's "heavy on religion and light on Christ," as he's describing. Bonhoeffer, by contrast, was literally martyred in opposition to the state, but more specifically, theologically and politically, was in opposition to the Christian sell outs that supported Nazism and its mandates. The Nazis, by and large, were Christian. Christians today need to be mindful of that as it relates to their politics and their preferences in how they think the state and society should be governed, and how their faith relates and interfaces with that, particularly with nationalism and appeals to changing the legal structures to their contemporary religious standards. Appropriating Bonhoeffer in such a manner very quickly leads into the potential rabbit hole of repeating history, where Jews, gays, political, and theological undesirables are persecuted all over again via the apparatus of state. The Nazis were Nazis well before they committed the holocaust. If the Holocaust was the cherry on top or icing, there's a whole cake of Nazism to explore and understand as to why that political ideology should've been repulsive to all christians... and the tragedy they it wasn't. And all that directly relates to religious affiliation and perceptions of nationalism, and as it relates to religion governing the state, or the state governing the religion. Secular society doesn't want to infringe on religious rights, it just wants to be free from religious mandates enforced by the state on the non religious rights to be non religious. There is a right to be non religious and non conservatively religious or politically conservative. Jews, gays, and non religious people exist, and they have a right to constitutionally - a hard theocratic inclined state would throw this into question, politically and legally, and to those that preach and pronounce this, they're very overt about this, and so is Mataxas. He's an extremist they assumes the secular state is the Nazi state and it's coming from Christians like him, vis a vis Bonhoeffer. A fever dream. The likes of Mataxas would likely gladly crucify gays, for example, in a hypothetical conservative Christian ascension to a theocratic state. It didn't go so well in the inquisitions.
