Reinterpreting The Parable of the Vineyard
Thanks for the message. I know these are odd times not actually meeting, but this is an excellent creative way to reach and teach our congregation. Appreciate your knowledge and putting this together. Max
I appreciate your knowledge and effectively sharing it with others.
Great job! Appreciate your effort to prepare and present such an uplifting and educational message. Look forward to getting back to attending in person once the weather clears and is safer. This class is such a needed and welcome message from the Psalms. You are a such a natural speaker and have a good speaking voice. Thank you so much. Max
Thank you for presenting this lesson for us on a snow day. I am proud of your growth as a Christian young man and excited for your future as a preacher of the Gospel. Good luck with your studies at Heritage Christian University.
Good lesson. You look like you feel better. Prayers continue for you.
Very powerful message. Well delivered.
To suggest a rapture is to reject Christ. He directly taught that He comes after the tribulation... Matt 24:29-31. To teach the opposite and suggest that He comes prior is to teach the opposite of Christ. We must believe Jesus to be saved. Paul directly called the event 'The Resurrection of the dead'... 1 Cor 15;42-55, which is what he didn't want us ignorant about in 1 Thess 4:13-18. When Paul declares that he is revealing a mystery in verse 50,51, that mystery is how people are changed at the event he directly called "the resurrection of the dead". The terms "rapture" and 'second coming" do not exist in Scripture but were created to divide the "resurrection of the dead" into multiple events. The resurrection of the dead is not some new event revealed by Paul, but declared as early as Job 14:12... where we are told that it occurs when the heavens are destroyed. Jesus references Job in Matt 24;35-43, Mark 13:31,32 and tells us that the heavens will be destroyed and of THAT DAY, no man knows the day or the hour. Peter refers to Christ and tells us that Jesus comes like a thief in the night when the heavens are destroyed with a great noise...2 Peter 3:10. Those martyred for not taking the mark are resurrected at the FIRST resurrection... Rev 20:4-6. These passages destroy the notion of a rapture. Every argument for a rapture is birthed n deception.
The Bible condones slavery. There are even several passages about this: "However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way." (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT) "If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom. If he was single when he became your slave and then married afterward, only he will go free in the seventh year. But if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife will be freed with him. If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they had sons or daughters, then the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master. But the slave may plainly declare, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.' If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever." (Exodus 21:2-6 NLT) "When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. " (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT) "When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property." (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB) "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. "(Ephesians 6:5 NLT) " Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts. Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them. " (1 Timothy 6:1-2 NLT) The bible is handbook on slavery.
Sorry, but it is insufficient to say that the Bible does not outright condemn slavery and leave it at that. The Bible portrays God as explicitly condoning, and even commanding, chattel slavery every bit as bad, or worse, than the slavery of the Antebellum South. This it the God you worship as the paragon of moral virtue.
Great sermon.
The worlds worst father hands down is the Heavenly father 100% no doubt hes a Genocidal maniac!

We just don't want war and believe that working for government is no different than serving Lucifer's Kingdom. Rejoice that Jesus refused a government job and died to save us all...
You cant commit euthanasia because you are low in life, you are in a severe state of suffering. My great-grandma commited euthanasia and I respect every. single. bit.
I live in one of the only countries where its legal, it should be everywhere
We saw heard this sermon. Fantastic. 💕
Basically he just lists conclusions people mistakenly drawn out of the premisse of evolution, like socal Darwinism, nihilism and other forms of scientific racism. Which is true, in time people didn't knew any better they did come up with rather unscientific (often self serving) conclusions and a lot of people used evolution to back up their predetermined racist notions. In fact Darwin himself was a racist and it shows in his work and conclusions. But every single point he makes here, can be made about the Bible/Christianity too. People used it to justify racism, the oppression or even extermination of entire cultures, systematic sexism, persecution of homosexuality, endorcing illiteracy, hindering of scientific progress, abuse for political power, justifying slavery, etc. If this guy is honest, he acknowledges that these are all results of Christianity too. The fact that he himself finds that these things goes against what he believes the Bible is teaching, doesnt matter. Because the people that used it as justification clearly did believed the Bible was teaching those things. And the same goes for evolution... To give an idea of this, let's use his own example of the pygmy Ota Benga. The person that shipped him and a few others to America, was a American missionary called Verner. The terrible conditions he had to endure mostly were caused by the crowds that came to see him. He briefly worked at the Museum of Natural History (Verner used him as a bargaining chip) were he was presented as a "savage", but he grew unhappy there and an incident ended that position. Verner later found a job for him at the Bronx zoo, but when the director noticed the attention Benga got, he manipulated him into staying in the monkey house and made him a part of the exibition, where he was presented as "missing link" to draw attention. Again, it was mostly the racist notions of the (predominantly Christian) crowds that caused his situations. As I mentioned before things can be used to falsly justify positions, like evolution or the Bible. But to give an idea, slavery in America started around 1776, Darwins book was published 1859 and slavery ended in 1865. So to say that Darwins work had anything to do with slavery, other then people briefly feeling a bit more justified by using social Darwinism, seems a very big stretch to me... The same goes for the treatment of the native Americans, most of those attrocities happened in the 250 years before Darwin's work got published, which makes me doubt that evolution was the cause of that... And as to the colonisation of Australia, by the time On the origin of Species was published, Australia was almost entirely colonised... He is right about Hitler, who's support of eugenics and his pursuit of the "übermensch" was generally known and much of his motivation of his actions. But he then mistakenly tries to put Stalin in the same category, which is incorrect. Stalin was indeed an atheist that tried to wipe out organized religion in his political conquest, but he did not select on racial traits or adhere to the notion of "lesser or greater evolved". Lastly he comes to his conclusions. Firstoff he states that the notion of evolution doesn't serve any purpose, except it does, at least it serves as much purpose as any historical fact. But to me it goes even further, knowing where we came from and how we came here can help us understand ourselves better. From a medical and biological point of view, but also from a psychological and behavioural point of view it can help us explain a lot. And while this peson thinks it will only help to cause division and/or racism, for me it is quite the opposite. It can show us how unscientific and baseless racism is. Because in the grand sceme of thing it really shows how simular we all are, how little difference there is between us and the differences we do see, are literally skindeep. And those differences are just cause by living in different circumstances and adapting to those. Which means that if we came from that background, we would have had the same changes or adjustments... We also can take solice in the fact that evolution and natural selection is a completely blind and unbiased process. Whenever somebody wants to link evolution to racism, they always do so by the traits they themselves find favorable, like intelligence, physical prowess or appearence, even though nature couldn't care less about those things if they wouldn't attribute to the survivability of a species. So in conclusion, the Bible can be just as easy be used to justify racism as evolution can and for those who interpretate it that way, however different it may be from your views, the source really supports their ideas. Just because this person sees the Bible in a different light and cannot do the same with evolution, doesn't mean they are different in that regard, it lies completely with the inability and bias of this person... These are just my thoughts on the content of this video, in any case, have a great day!
