It emphasizes that salvation and eternal li...

Romans 8:28-30 provides a high enough vantage point to reveal that God’s work in salvation begins in eternity past with His foreknowledge and extends into eternity future with our glorification. This full view assures believers of ...

Preaching truth
How much ever the devil does his work , the word of God is reaching every nook and corner of the earth ! We should keep on spreading the Love of God to the nations!!
My favorite preacher, I like his study bible also.
this book look so exciting :))
Solomon Kane selected some good people to align with.
How to become a Calvinist 101.
Its really pathetic when Christian nationalists want to twist facts to fit their narrative George Washington died a catholic! John Adams died a unitarian! Thomas Jefferson was a part of hellfire club and created his own Bible! Yeah these guys were straight up anti Christ
This man was is one of the most important men in all history. The courage he had is astounding, the intellect true genius. I know he is held in great honor in Heaven.
Lol. Nah. If you are reformed or a dispensationalist...then sure. Any systematic theology book (especially the laughable MacArthur one) are must avoids.
Doing Gods will instead of our own is the thing we’re supposed to be focused on. Only those who DO the will of my Father in Heaven will enter in. Read all the books and translations of Gods word you want. That will make you a Pharisee. Not a disciple. I came here not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me………..That’s all you need to know. He who has ears let him hear. It’s too late to go back now to Your comfort zone, if you’ve read these words. Theologian or disciple. We know how that ended.
To be a disciple of Christ is to study His Word, understand His will, and seek to know and serve Him more fully. That is what theological studies are all about. Do some give too much focus to academic pursuits and lose sight of truly following after Jesus? Yes. Does that mean we should abandon a means that God has given for us to become better disciples of Jesus? No. That would be to fall into an equal yet opposite error.
"2) If they were, what difference would it make?" You're kind of shooting your own presentation right in the dick. Wow.
The fact is, no actual Christian looks to, nor has any book other than a King James Bible. Those who look to other books than the Bible are NOT Christians. Do not be deceived!
William Collins wrote the Baptist catechism not Keach
How about watchman nee?
Watchman Nee, as well as every other church scholar, pastor, preacher, and teacher are all 100% frauds. All blind guides.
Add Aquinas summa theologica, James White the forgotten trinity, berkhof how interpret scripture, and Lee Irons the OIKOS covenant...
Repent of your fake christianity!
By the way, John Frame recently released Concise Systematic Theology. It's an update and revision of his previous Salvation Belongs to the Lord. It's not as "concise" as, say, J.I. Packer's Concise Theology which is actually very concise - only a page or two per theological topic and only about maybe 200-250 pages total for the entire book. But still Concise Systematic Theology is more "concise" than Frame's much longer Systematic Theology. I know Frame has ruffled the feathers of the otherwise good folks at Westminster California (I respect and appreciate both sides and I wish there wasn't such bad blood between these people because we can learn from both camps) but still for an introductory theology I highly recommend his Concise Systematic Theology as well as his works in general.
MacArthur, no. Frame, no. Grudem, heck no! Try Berkhof or Reymond. Much better choices.
Amen on that. There is nothing more biblical than the Reformed faith.
Great recommendations, whole heartily agree with everything you recommend!
This is because you, like the guy in thins video are not a Christian. No actual Christian looks to or has any book other than the Bible.
For anyone looking to get into some really good theological study without spending a ton of money on books, or trying to hunt down good deals on used ones. Just about everything older than ~1920 is public domain and much of it is available on the internet archive for free. There's some incredible stuff on there, especially from the Puritans, who had great theologians and wrote very extensively. You can also get all of tge early church fathers' writings, and so much more.
Repent of your fake christianity!
Reading his book The power of transforming prayer so so good!! An enormous blessing❤
Thanks for the video. I liked all the books you recommended (the ones I was familiar with, at least). I might also suggest a copy of the Apostolic Fathers and Eusebius' Church History. I know they aren't theology books in the proper sense, but they give insight into the early church, which is often forgotten in Protestantism.
Thanks for the added recommendations!
grace, Wayne Grudem is a false prophet with false visions from God. "“Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They make you worthless; They speak a vision of their own heart,Not from the mouth of the Lord." Jeremiah 23:16
Wayne G. as well as all those mentioned in this video are ALL frauds.
John Calvin? Stay away from the fellow.
Should I also stay away from every non-methodist protestant until 1850 then? Also Whitfield.
Calvin was awesome!
Why? I can’t but commend and share my gratitude for Calvin’s writings. What writings do you recommend to stay away from? Have you engaged Calvin’s works?
why?, I Might not agree with his conclusions but he a great theologian attempting to be faithful to the Word
Thank you for this! Very informative and helpful 🙏🏽 That Jesus was 33 and a half years comes from the Bible’s longest time prophecy in Daniel 9. The 70 weeks prophecy tells when the Messiah would be anointed (baptism of Christ), and when He would be cut off (crucified). A specific start time is given for the events foretold to Daniel (the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem). Knowing from the book of John that Jesus was 30 when He began His ministry then informs us that our Saviour ministered for 3 and a half years. If you do the maths of the 2,300-day (or 70 weeks) prophecy in Daniel, you will see the prophecy comes right to our doorstep in time, to the year 1844. The first century Israelites were aware of this timing, and were expectant; the fullness of time had come. Luke 3:15. Anna and Simeon in the Temple had recognised the Child when He was born. The Lord does nothing without revealing it to His prophets first. Praise God for Light!
Ah, so no Aquinas, Origen, Kempis or Newman.
Why would you read them when you have John McArthur 😂
This is clearly a reformed baptist giving the recomendations so they would not put catholic saints or fathers in thier 12 essentials. I as a reformed baptist would put Confessions as my 12th but Augustine and Pascal are the only Catholics I reccomend and the others are more for historical backround knowledge than actual theological growth. Since from my perspective thier teachings were...interesting. Catholics seem to forget that the reformation was started by men steeped in history, so it is quite easy to be steeped in history and not be catholic so long as you actually read both sides.
@@johnsonc8 With all due respect, comparing MacArthur with Aquinas is a disrespect to the Dominican.
Beginners guide to Popery? rofl
@@byhisstripes2713 No, it's just like comparing Spurgeon with Steve Anderson. You may differ with Spurgeon, but differing with him is far different than differing with Anderson.
The Westminster dictionary has been especially helpful. One recent theological work has impressed me, Fleming Rutledge's The Crucifixion, the best book I've read on the Atonement.
I've never read a systematic theology book. Yet, I know more about Scripture than MOST pastors in the modern culture
🤣
Sounds pretty prideful
@@DizzySaxophone Seems you're unfamiliar with fact-stating regardless of who that fact is about, even if the fact is about the speaker. You must be thinking Jesus and Paul were pretty prideful too. Right doctrine is essential. However, It is open secret that most 'pastors' today just know readymade theology, but have little connect with the Biblical accounts themselves. They can't even quote a verse ex tempore 'to save their lives'. AW Tozer lamented this lack of devotional knowledge of God in preachers and laymen. Many are satisfied with the 'bare essentials' so to speak. And systematic theology often times tends to bring out in people a smug sense of accomplishment without desire for any way forward in faith journey which involves, in large part, knowing the actual words and narrations in your Bible. People admire and listen to RC Sproul, John Mc Arthur etc, as they should. But they don't take into account the sheer love these men have for the written word of God.
Most pastors have not read Systematic Theology.
The fact is, no actual Christian looks to any book other than the Bible. The truth is ALL of the churches theologians, scholars, pastors, preachers, and teachers are ALL completely Biblically illiterate and are NOT Christians. The very, very, very few who actually understand the Bible do not ever look to any book other than the Bible. It is only those who do not belong to God and cannot understand the Bible that look to books other than the Bible. They are all nothing but the blind following the blind.
I always thought that all we had to do was read the Bible and the Holy Spirit would guide us. Gee I wounder if the Holy Spirit has studied a systematic theology, maybe it would help Him understand what He wrote.
All of our theological studies should begin with and be checked against Scripture. The Bible also encourages us to learn from other faithful believers, and this includes those who teach through writing.
You could say the same about sermons.
The ability to learn from other godly men is helpful to anyone who wants to grow spiritually. The Bible is clear that God gives the church teachers, and it is good to learn from those teachers. This isn't to say all or even most Christians need to read systematic theology in their spare time, but your position seems to be that using other books to help understand the Scripture better is somehow going beyond what God intended.
Theology is okay, just be careful because there's a lot of man's ideas. And be careful about Calvinism.
@@OkOk-rn7to Is it the predestination stuff you don't like about Calvinism?
If i may dear brother in christ Jesus , God still gives the gift of apostle prophet evangelist pastor teacher ,this doesnt negate the efficacy of scripture it actually works in harmony with gods word ,heres the Why because its the Holy spirit who gives the gifts ,those who receive the gift its Gods will not theirs all they can do grow in their understanding and use of the gift that the lord permits them to use it and fufill gods purpose the purpose which we find in ephesians 4 . Brother i challenge you to embrace the gifts of God 5 fold ministry and not surpress the activity of the holy spirit .one assurance is that God wont contradict himself , so the gifts given to men ,will be inline with scripture not add or take away , it may act in a broader sense to the narrow catergory men place it under Looking forward to your perspective and a fruitful dialogue
Lord Jesus Christ loves you!❤ don’t focus on the storm, focus on HIM and He will get you through anything ❤
I love how everything was backed up with the Word of God not opinions
One of God's true servant
Thank you
Excellent, powerful balance of history and the Bible. One glaring error in the beginning, tho. Americans were happy to be British SUBJECTS. There is a big difference between a subject and a citizen.
Very sound biblical exposition of what has become a disobedience in the church; the Sabbath!
John 5:43 Je sus is not his name
Amen
The term "Deconstruction" seems deconstructed when "Christian" is placed in front of it. It's not hollowing the word out to pour some other meaning into it like we have seen done with the word "woman" which is the way I understand Derrida. Seems when the term Christian Deconstruction is plied the intent is Christian Destruction.
Just ordered mine to the U.K. Thank you.
Piper ain't no joke either behind the sacred desk
Great video on a lesser known founder from my home state!
I can;t find any story about a pagan gods resurrected after dead for 3 days. Do the information in the photo in your video is real?
Currently reading his Discourses on “The Existence and Attributes of God”. It has been food for my soul.

He does not make it about him. It's all about the gospel.
Very helpful and informative. Thanks!
Yeah, sorry. No sale. "Harsh critics"!
But I caught him quoting the Bible out of context and missing out a vital detail in the text when he went full blown to support "Israel" treating the Palestinian as the biblical Amalekites. Another incident was when he quoted the Bible to support the invention and production of the most deadly weapons. One can serve the most delicious food. But add a little tiny bit of poison will do the trick. False teachers don't give themselves away brazenly, but will let slip in tiny but vital details. Be alert brothers and sisters in Christ. The evidence to date is that Macarthur is a Zionist-Christian. Now let him deny this with proof.
