Beroean Search

Добавлен 4 июл 2024
In Athens, Paul made an interesting statement according to the Bible book Acts 17:27: God wants us to seek him. And he wouldn’t even be far away from us. There are more than enough sources that claim to help us with this. Paul himself was such a source a short time earlier when he was in Berea. The people there were open to these new ideas, but they scrutinised what they heard. (Acts 17:11)

Should we be called apostles?
Просмотров 101Месяц назад
The New Testament contains a number of terms that are still used in denominations or movements today. However, very few people are aware of their meaning or use in the text. Did the disciples of Jesus in the first century use these terms in the same way? We have already discussed the terms 'Christian', 'brother of Christ' and 'anointed one' in other videos. This time it's about 'apostle'. This ...

I can't tell you how often I used to hear as a Jehovah's Witness that I "must not miss a meeting". As a former or active Jehovah's Witness, I'm sure you can confirm that. Why has this been written and said so often? Is it really biblically based? * Is Hebrews 10:24,25 a commandment? And how is the text to be understood? * What is the meaning of Proverbs 18:1? Does it have anything to do with me...

Can it even be the case that we can still be somehow surprised today with regard to the hope we receive in the Bible? Hasn't everything already been understood, written and said about it? Does anyone here imagine that they know better than the first Christians, the 'Church Fathers', the great theological thinkers of the Middle Ages and the Reformation? This series is based on the book by biblic...

In the first part, we saw how the view of Judaism in the 1st century has changed since around 1977. This has anything but minor consequences when it comes to the interpretation of Jesus' or Paul's statements in the New Testament. In this part of the series, we will talk about the positive effects this has on the understanding of Paul's letters. The English transcript is here: beroeans.info/en/n...

More & more... Waking up has to be the final result... But I think it has to be granted by God.
I agree. Waking up is a personal event between the person and God. So many times during my life I had the opportunity to wake up, but I didn't take hold of it. I woke up five years ago at 69 years of age.
Dear Brother, thank you for your videos. Some of them do give me reason to think again about my faith. Let me introduce you to sister Irina Zinina, Irina was charged by the Russian authorities with participating in the activities of an extremist organization for talking about her Bible based beliefs. Her criminal charged was initiated in May 2023 and the trial began in February 8 2024. Can imagine the emotional and spiritual trauma this sister is undergoing? How does sister Zinina feel about what is happening to her because of her faith? “I firmly believe that Jehovah is using my spiritual brothers and sisters to help me through this difficult time. They pray for me and my family and often send me pictures, videos, or encouraging scriptures and thoughts. Some even come to my court hearings. I am extremely grateful for everything they do. It is because of their support that I do not feel lonely. I am convinced that with Jehovah’s help and with a brotherhood like this, I can endure any challenge that comes my way”.
I do not know where in Germany you are, but I hope to go to Leipzig in Sept or October. If it is possible, I would be available to make the journey to meet with you.
Unfortunately, I’m living in the South-West of Germany close to Heidelberg, which is about 500km away from Leipzig.
@@BeroeanSearch - thank you for your reply.
@@BeroeanSearch Christian, is there an email where I might contact you?
But are not all these books nothing more than what "men" teach? Today, Christians only have to accept Christ (I mean to truly accept Christ) in order to know the truth - John 14:15-17.
This and other textbooks are of course written by humans. Does that make them all worthless? Then what about the comments in Bible study groups? They are also all by people. But both books and oral statements can point us to thoughts and connections in the Bible that we have not yet seen. Which we can prove than. All the textbooks on mathematics that I know of were also written by people. Should everyone put them down and try to discover mathematics for themselves? This book is primarily about the historical context and the meaning of the text in the original languages without reading it with the bias of doctrine. It would be something else if someone arbitrarily took texts from the Bible, used them out of context and formed a new doctrine from them.
@@BeroeanSearch - you are correct in what you say, thank you for your help.
Dear Brother - is this part of the Beroean Picket cult?
The short answer is: No I had translated Eric Wilson's videos into German until June 2024 and published them on the RUclips channel "Beröer Studium". However, the German-language channel "Beröer Studium" is now managed by Eric himself and he has deleted my videos from there and also from his channel "Beroean Voices". I am therefore now publishing them here in English and on "Beröer Suche" in German. The texts (German and English) are on beroeans.info. For the sake of completeness: I had initially organized the German-speaking meetings, but have not attended for over a year.
@@BeroeanSearch - I posted a reply but my message was deleted. Why/
Can I ask why you no longer go to the Eric Wilson meetings?
@@JWC-iw9um I didn’t delete a comment, but will check the RUclips comment list now. Sometimes, comments are not published automatically due to some RUclips algorithms.
@@JWC-iw9um I don’t see any comment, which is in state ‚held for review‘. I hope, your other comment is the one, which you mentioned.
Online likely digitally corrected
The Governing Body has old Watchtower articles and the current sermon and study literature changed from time to time. But this book is also completely missing in the digital world. What you get as a search result is first of all the article 'Questions from readers', with the clarification.
I could care less what "the bible " says.
Most truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.q John 13:16 . Jesus was SENT BY GOD - and called as SERVANT OF GOD. Acts 4:27 WHO IS OVER ALL? Ephesians 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. GOD and FATHER is OVER/ABOVE ALL and that "All" includes the SON so they are NOT EQUAL THE BIBLE teaches that Jesus was MADE As Lord and Christ and as Son (ACTS 2:36, Prov 8, HEB 1:5), CREATED/PRODUCED/INSTALLED (Prov 8) , COME INTO BEING/MADE (Mat 21:42 - egeneto) and GIVEN LIFE by the Father - John 5:26 and it uses TODAY (Heb 1:5), and uses future tenses and is a prophecy in Isa 9:6 (Isa 9:6, - WILL BE) . If you are called MADE AND CREATED AND GIVEN LIFE, and NEVER CALLED in the BIBLE as Creator or Maker , then you are A CREATION. ALL FROM THE BIBLE From the Lord was this (this is referring to the chief cornerstone who is Jesus) , the word WAS is egeneto (made or came into being) - Matthew 21:42 and the exact Greek word used in John 1:3 - MADE, egeneto (came into being) - JESUS WAS MADE/CAME INTO BEING FROM THE FATHER , yes, Jesus was MADE/CREATED!, See also Acts 2:36, Heb 1:5, 1 john 5 Jesus in FACT mentioned the FATHER IS GREATER than I am. JOhn 14:28. BEFORE he WAS SENT, the Father is ALSO GREATER than Jesus. Most truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.q John 13:16 . Jesus was SENT BY GOD - and called as SERVANT OF GOD. Acts 4:27 AFTER his resurrection the FATHER IS STILL GREATER than Jesus - WHO IS OVER ALL? Ephesians 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. GOD and FATHER is OVER/ABOVE ALL and that "All" includes the SON so they are NOT EQUAL
