Thank you for this I’ve been trying to look for the videos related and I’m glad you added this link.
Greatly miss RC Sproul’s teachings. Thank you for keeping them up front. His understanding of the Word is so much more mature than most out there today.
Thank you for posting this great sermon. Yes, "God made it perfectly clear, and He was serious." Our EXISTENCE depends totally on Him. And He is totally trustworthy. As a preacher R.C. Sproul is exceptionally. Where are preachers like him nowadays?
Wow, just wow. I’ll never be bored by Leviticus again. Thank you Dr Sproul 🙏
The greatest narrator in modern times if not into antiquity (without fear of exaggeration).
One wonders what cadence or other distinction Spurgeon commanded.... or even what golden tones in which George Whitfield placed emphasis, but even they surely would not have had the hold of anticipation and emotive range accentuated by the piercing expressions and seismic thunder of this signature delivery... all captured at the right time -for the Saints' preservation and "existential" edification- indeed!
This is preaching Coram Deo.
Very well stated, bro Scott.
Dr Sproul voice was and is my first experience with God's existential drama in the OT ,NT how it's reflected my life chaotic moments , his teaching kept me going through and prayers as well
Thank you just perfect
These are gold mine teachings which every serious student of the word should watch and learn intently🤔Thank you for posting this great series of Knowing Scriptures🙏😇 From my own mental digestion, this could be read as to get real with the actual situation in the Bible, they are real persons in actual stories not just characters in a drama and therefore their feelings as real people need to be considered in understanding what happened - that is what it means to read the Scripture existentially.
What I find most fascinating
Abraham did not once doubt that it was God
He had truly grown in faith
I've really enjoyed this "Knowing Scripture" series. Thanks for the videos.
God's Word is so amazing!
This is sooooo profound simply embrace it. Great man of God.
brilliant teaching
Existentially = to bridge the gap between the author and us
Wish I saw this before starting the OT, well it’ll inform the next reading for sure
A novel idea
Address the epistle to the individual/self
Brilliant!
Sniff? Oh, my God, call Soren!!
Keep the Commandments of God along with your faith in His Son Jesus Christ if you wish to make it to the Kingdom of Heaven.

The law doesn't save you as works.

James 2:17-20
Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble!
20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?
Yeshua Messiah made salvation possible, and he alone. But, good fruit is obedience to YHVH’s commands.
Matthew 5:17-20
17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.
18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
@@BonnieBlue2A so you agree with me then 👍
I think you left out the Book of Galatians, friend. Maybe study it?
@@Weissguys6 I imagine that was deliberate because it undermines their view
The Bible should be read in the Holy Spirit. Period.
The Holy Spirit is not someone who can be “turned on” for the purposes of reading the Bible. If a person is saved then they are indwelled by the Holy Spirit.
Spanish ??? 🙏🏽
@ Bill. Surely you jest?
It's hard to take anything Bill says seriously, but then he doesn't have a pastor or elders, or even go to church
"Reading the Bible Existentially: Knowing Scripture"
Wow kind Sir..let's see...with NO disrespect at all. For...
The first full bible; was translated (hand writing only); in 'circa 382 AD. By Pope Damasus of the "Roman Catholic Cult" (as I say). When He paid an "Expert" languish; in "Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek".
(Using "manuscripts* handed down years by years. And mostly by mouth to mouth, since there were NO "printing presses" yet")
His name was: "St. Jerome"...Latin in full: Eusebius Hieronymus, pseudonym Sophronius, (born c. 347, Stridon, Dalmatia-died 419/420, Bethlehem, Palestine; feast day September)...
And when He had finished translating those 80 manuscripts; that Pope had given him to translate: 39 OT, 14 Apocrypha and 27 NT; the Pope named the 80 books, "Latin Vulgate". To this day.
And that the ONLY hand written bible; would be for centuries. Because the Printing Press would NOT come into being, until 1450 AD. And it was a printing machine; perfected and ready to use commercially: named "The Gutenberg press".
But, in the meantime, there were many letters written mouth to mouth of scriptures; and they created enumerable hand written bibles with 80 books. That would have been downgraded; into 66 books in 1885 AD, like today. By throwing out the Apocrypha books. Sad.
So in, 1535 AD: Myles Coverdale’s Bible; The First Complete Bible printed in the English Language (80 Books). And it would stay 80 books in ALL full bibles until 1885 AD: The “English Revised Version” Bible; The First Major English Revision of the KJV; with 66 books!
Now I said all the above to ask you kind Sir. WHICH scripture and/or a full bible; with either 80 books or 66 books are you talking about?. And what version are you talking about? Huh? For even the KJV; has 3 different versions. Do the research.
Nor...any of the "enumerable" of other English bibles; that were printed over multi centuries; are the same!. And most have major differences. Oh yes. Do the research! NO disrespect! Promise. Just stating the facts brother in Jesus...
...In any case kind Sir, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN!
* Here's the scoop...From the Web: "Where did the Bible come from? Have you got the original writings that came from the hand of Moses, or Paul, or John? No, none of it, not a scrap or a letter is available today!"
Sad, but OH so true! May Jesus have mercy...
And most people are probably not aware of the fact that the common Bible of our Founding Father's was NOT the "KJV". By the time the KJV became popular, there were already plenty of Settlers in this country. They were using the GENEVA Bible!
So, when people say, "This Country was founded on the Word of God"; and then refer to the KJV as the "Word of God"; they have their facts completely messed up. For this nation WAS founded as a Christian Nation; and they didn't initially use the KJV.
Of course, neither one is the "Word of God"; but it just goes to show how people can say one thing; and then, without realizing it, lie out the other side of their mouth.
Which statement in this video did you disagree with, and upon what biblical basis? Give the time stamp.
Wow Dee It was God, and God alone, who determined which books belonged in the Bible. It was simply a matter of God’s imparting to His followers what He had already decided. The human process of collecting the books of the Bible was flawed, but God, in His sovereignty, and despite our ignorance and stubbornness, brought the early church to the recognition of the books He had inspired.
Determining the canon was a process conducted first by Jewish rabbis and scholars and later by early Christians. Ultimately, it was God who decided what books belonged in the biblical canon. A book of Scripture belonged in the canon from the moment God inspired its writing. It was simply a matter of God’s convincing His human followers which books should be included in the Bible.
Compared to the New Testament, there was much less controversy over the canon of the Old Testament. Hebrew believers recognized God’s messengers and accepted their writings as inspired of God. While there was undeniably some debate in regards to the Old Testament canon, by A.D. 250 there was nearly universal agreement on the canon of Hebrew Scripture. The only issue that remained was the Apocrypha, with some debate and discussion continuing today. The vast majority of Hebrew scholars considered the Apocrypha to be good historical and religious documents, but not on the same level as the Hebrew Scriptures.
For the New Testament, the process of the recognition and collection began in the first centuries of the Christian church. Very early on, some of the New Testament books were being recognized. Paul considered Luke’s writings to be as authoritative as the Old Testament (1 Timothy 5:18; see also Deuteronomy 25:4 and Luke 10:7). Peter recognized Paul’s writings as Scripture (2 Peter 3:15-16). Some of the books of the New Testament were being circulated among the churches (Colossians 4:16; 1 Thessalonians 5:27). Clement of Rome mentioned at least eight New Testament books (A.D. 95). Ignatius of Antioch acknowledged about seven books (A.D. 115). Polycarp, a disciple of John the apostle, acknowledged 15 books (A.D. 108). Later, Irenaeus mentioned 21 books (A.D. 185). Hippolytus recognized 22 books (A.D. 170-235). The New Testament books receiving the most controversy were Hebrews, James, 2 Peter, 2 John, and 3 John.
The first “canon” was the Muratorian Canon, which was compiled in AD 170. The Muratorian Canon included all of the New Testament books except Hebrews, James, 1 and 2 Peter, and 3 John. In AD 363, the Council of Laodicea stated that only the Old Testament (along with one book of the Apocrypha) and 26 books of the New Testament (everything but Revelation) were canonical and to be read in the churches. The Council of Hippo (AD 393) and the Council of Carthage (AD 397) also affirmed the same 27 books as authoritative.
Wall of text. The question is why

Mental illness...... "kind Sir"

R.C. Sproul, was a false teacher. Sproul was an advocate of Calvinism, an unbiblical teaching.
You didn't show that anything he said in the video was false. Makes your comment more of a personal attack than a valid point. What do you advocate instead of Calvinism?
@@HearGodsWord I advocate the truth and Calvinism is not that. MacArthur teaches so many false things it is hard to know where to start.
Those saved in the early church believed and were baptized (in water) into Christ, Gal 3:27, Mark 16:15-16, Acts 2:38. He denies that folks are saved the way they were in the early church. What gives him the right to change the gospel?
@@numbers22_28 so you couldn't really deal with what I said and asked then.i thought that would be the case as that's always the reaction
