What is the Gospel? A Simple Definition
The gospel is not what you do. You contribute nothing to it. It's not even about God making it POSSIBLE for you to be saved. It's rather about God ACTUALLY saving His people from their sins. We can define the gospel as the good news of what God has accomplished in the Person and through the work of His Son Jesus Christ to save sinners from His holy curse and wrath. #whatisthegospel #gospelofjesuschrist #thegospeldefined #definitionofthegospel #salvationbygrace

Justification by Faith According to the Apostle Paul
Просмотров 33711 месяцев назад
What did Paul really teach about justification? Is the New Perspective on Paul correct? What do the writings of Paul himself actually say? The Apostle Paul’s doctrine of justification answers to the question, “How can I, as a sinner, find a gracious God?” He’s not merely addressing the issue, as the New Perspective on Paul has claimed, of how gentiles can become a part of the covenant community...
What is Deism? (Deism vs. Christian Theism Explained)
Просмотров 4,6 тыс.11 месяцев назад
In the 17th and 18th centuries, a philosophy known as Deism arose as skepticism clashed with traditional faith in our Western world. Deism was spawned by rationalistic approaches to spirituality by the likes of John Locke, Thomas Paine, and Voltaire. And the common assumption nowadays is that Deism simply was phased out in the modern era by other philosophies like Romanticism, Transcendentalism...
The Baptism of Jesus Christ: A Picture of His Redeeming Work

Why was Jesus Christ baptized according to Mark's Gospel? This video traces out some of the canonical connections that most Bible readers tend to miss. With the first coming of the God-man, the eschatology of the Prophets dawned in its initial fulfillment.

Does Christianity Hinder Human Flourishing?

Transcript: One objection that has been raised against Christianity by non-Christians is that gospel call to repent is an imposing straitjacket that limits or constrains human flourishing.

    Deism is illogical because it depends upon people to define God, rather than allowing God to define himself via the written word of his representative chosen prophets. There's NO reason to believe in anything - or anyone - whose characteristics are based upon the self appointed understanding, or the lack thereof, of human beings. At the very least ... Deism is FAR more valuable and serviceable than atheism.

    Jesus never knew he was dying for our sins. That whole theory wasn't even developed until decades after his death. Jesus thought he was preaching an apocalyptic message that God was going vanquish his enemies and form a new kingdom on earth. Thus, people ought to prepare for his coming by being more righteous. Jesus and his 12 disciples were to rule that earthly kingdom including its 12 tribal territories. He was not of the belief that people even had separate souls, that also was a concept developed by the Greek philosopher, Plato, much later and integrated into Christianity at least a dozen decades after Jesus died on the cross. People of today wouldn't know this history because its been all mixed together over the 20 centuries of endless editing and rewriting of all scriptures and the creation of confusing edicts changing whole belief systems as ordained by the Catholic Church.

    A deist god doesn't DO ANYTHING, HAS NO EFFECT in the world, and thus is suspiciously like something that DOES NOT EXIST!! In this real world, there is absolutely no evidence that any god exists! Books written by anonymous ancients or modern posturers just don't cut it!! For me to give credence to one of them I would have to believe them ALL, and they contradict each other!! And *I* KNOW my imagination far too well to let it talk me into believing a god is trying to talk to me inside of there!! I KNOW I could make up an imaginary god and converse with it!! The imagination does anything you tell it to, THAT'S the problem with it!! If a god existed, it would KNOW FAR better, than any human believer who might claim that I just don't WANT to believe, PRECISELY what could make me believe! And so far, it has EITHER, NOT chosen to do so, OR, IT REALLY DOES NOT EXIST!! IF any god really did exist, EVERYONE would KNOW it did, and as a CERTAINTY!! ---- Nature and Evolution only produces things that can add a part or disable a part randomly to improve the "pseudo-design", and it has NO "design-goal", it does NOT plan ahead, it has NO direction or ultimate desire, it cannot go backward or totally change the design completely like a designer can with conscious overview! Evolution is an unthinking process requiring random copying mistakes in reproduction, and then environmentally caused survival or death to filter out the bad "pseudo-designs"!! Natural Evolution manifests ONLY this simple process of random change surviving or not surviving, and NOT any thinking design by aware overview!! And yet, in stupifyingly enormous amount of deep unfathomable time, it has produced all the ever expanding ever improving sprecies of every animal and plant on earth!! And it did it by killing 99.999% of them!!! ---- You can't disprove god for the exact same reason that you can't disprove something that does not exist!!! There is NO evidence of any god existing or having any effect. Cosmology operates under the laws of physics, no god apparently needed. Genetic Evolution operates under the laws of chemistry, no god apparently needed. ALL lore about gods comes ONLY from human myths and lies. Humans are ALL nasty little dishonest pathological LIARS seeking to manipulate others!! Therefore, NO god can reasonably be believed to exist!! ---- The Universe has a Designer!! The Designer is Mindless Random Chance & Circumstance!! Chance makes the Changes by Error, and Using Nucleic Memory, Circumstance Retains the Improvements in the Successful, and Kills the Failures, which the Successful get to EAT!!

    En los institutos de la religión cristiana, Calvino dice que Dios no ama a todo el mundo, solo eligió a un grupo de personas pasando por alto a las demás, a las que decidió no salvar.. Eso no es lo que dice la Biblia hermano, Cristo murió por todo el mundo. La gente se pierde por no aceptar el evangelio que Dios ofrece de manera gratuita a todos. Eso es lo que enseña la Palabra de Dios hermano. Espero que el Señor ilumine tu mente y salgas de estos errores mi hermano, que Dios te bendiga, y perdoname si de alguna manera este mensaje te ofende.

    Matthew 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The darkness of this world in Ephesians 6:12 that the Apostle Paul has to be the same damnation of Hell that Jesus Christ tells us of in Matthew 23:33. And Hell since its called that word damnation being the place of torment it truly is fits the words that is associated with it being death and darkness. Just thinking about the place would make one shudder and tremble with fear and think of it as a nightmarish horrific nightmare. Amen to Grace the only thing that can save us from the stuff that would make one become so lost they would wind up in that place of eternal torment and bring us to the place God wants us to be in His Heavenly Kingdom that is Heaven.

      Hey brother, thanks! I've been on sabbatical and plan to resume the pulpit next week, Lord willing. I'll be picking up in Mark 12 where we left off. AMEN to your comments about how the transfiguration pointed to the transition from the old covenant to the new. I alluded to that in the video but maybe I should have said it more clearly. I don't think the psalm you quoted rules out the apostasy of groups of angelic beings but simply is referring to holy angels who have not fallen. Other texts need to be consulted to weigh in on that as well (Genesis 6, Job 1, etc.). But if you know of any resources that are helpful that think "outside the box" I'd be willing to take a look. I appreciate the work of Dr. Hesier but I don't agree with everything he says. I'm familiar with the work of John Walton. His book on "Ancient Near Eastern Thought and the Old Testament" is helpful. But I disagree with him on a quite a few issues. While doing comparative studies is needful, his conclusions are sometimes unwarranted (if not a bit extreme). Many scholars have critiqued him by pointing out that sometimes his conclusions come "dangerously close" to undermining the veracity of the biblical testimony. That may be the case when he argues that the biblical authors do not necessarily assert the literalness of Satan or demons as supernatural entities with personality who are literally at war with the saints "behind the scenes." But I haven't read his book on the topic, so my knowledge of what he says is secondhand. I'll check it out soon. Thanks for the recommendation. It's always helpful to have iron sharpening iron.

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22.
