That’s right they don’t understand that in the flesh we have no power but that’s why Christ came to give us the Spirit so now we can war against the flesh and have complete victory through him, they believe they have no victory therefore are already defeated held captive by Satan to do his will.
@Bond_Servant Exactly sir it's only in CHRIST can we overcome in HIS strength and HIS power and in HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS by being OBEDIENT to HIM and HIM alone
Romans 8:1-2 NIV [1] Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, [2] because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
Maybe if you weren’t reading the demonic NIV translation it would have gone on to say the REST of that verse! “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who 👉do not walk according to the 👉flesh, but according to the 👉Spirit.” Romans 8:1 NKJV
Yes, God dwells inside the Believer as well as in heaven, which are both his temples. "He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn’t live in man-made temples, (ACTS 17:24)". "However, the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build for me? says the Lord. Or where will my resting place be? (ACTS 7:48-49)".
Allow me to share My personal experience. The Head Pastor monopolizes.. He calls the shots, gets to decide on almost all matters, ministry etc., even lives of people they consult him. He preaches and the people are merely spectators, he leads the singing at the end. It's not like the people want to be Spoon fed. It's just that he monopolized everything so we didn't have a chance to teach or share a word or sing. So yes, I told him he is like a King in a kingdom. And we were the subservients. We always had to consult him or ask him permission in Bible studies etc. He makes the decisions who joins who.
Nicodemus, Paul and those who attended the council in Acts were Pharisees. Being a Pharisee was a good thing, but being a corrupt Pharisee was not a good thing.
Just because it was considered to be a good thing, doesn’t actually make it a good thing. For example, today it’s considered good to be a successful pastor like John Piper. However, I would count all of us rubbish for knowing Christ! All of their success means absolutely nothing. They don’t know Christ!
Your videos are always insightful. I have yet to see your other videos on pastors. Lord willing I will be able to watch them later this week. God bless you!
I would say to look at their lives, Jesus said that by their fruits we would know them, no one can bear good fruits if their hearts is full of wickedness, nor bad fruits if their heart is good "For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him."
Yes of course. I suppose you could say what “fruit” then should we be looking for? Outright sin? Yes of course. But some pastors don’t openly flaunt their sin and are maybe conceal it a bit more than others. Then you have even some who tend to preach some holiness but still are all about the building. You see, covetousness may not always be so easy to spot. But one way you can ALWAYS spot it is if they take a salary from the church, and if they are taking money from Christians to purchase a building. You can guarantee this man is not serving God, he is serving the things of this world.
@@abideintheWord we could look to galatians 5 to see about the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit, though i have difficulty understanding it, what a christian bearing good fruits looks like?
@@Caioknight bad fruit is the sins listed in Galatians 5 among others yes. That’s how you know you are walking in the flesh. Erecting a building and charging money for it can show several works of the flesh - covetousness, divisions (specifically if it a building for a denomination), and the church system can often cause envy and jealousies and completion for unbiblical positions like the “head pastor” spot or worship pastor or pastor of fill in the blank.
@@abideintheWord i imagine a true christian would never be a dread to be around, there's people that when you're around them seems like you start to get heavy leaden, and in contrast to that a true christian will not be this negavity right?

we are part of the heavenly Jerusalem, which descended from above, so we now sit in the presence of God, Jesus himself being the temple, which Temple we are, if we hold our confidence firm to the end! “But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.” Revelation 22:15
Amen yes! It’s all over Scripture. “but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.” Hebrews 3:6 NKJV
What would you reply to a pastor answering you, ‘We do need a building to get together and better for us to own it’. I assume this would be the typical answer.
I would respond with then how did the church get together in Acts? In their houses, not buildings. Again, nowhere in Scripture is it recorded anyone tried to take up money to build buildings to gather in.
@@abideintheWord That is a good answer and backed up by the Bible. What shocked me, and I had only realized it two weeks ago, was that everyone in my church is volunteering but the pastor himself!

@@abideintheWord Yeap! Today, I am questioning my involvement and dedication to my own church. Thanks for your continuing work brother. Always looking forward to watching your videos.
Adam regarding the Mosaic laws Actually --- We let Jesus to live in us. We let the Holy Spirit to empower us to live a holy and sinless live for God. Always to Love. Out of Love In so doing, in Loving, we avoid sins. Meaning, in Loving, we do follow the moral laws of the Mosaic Law. Because these never changed. They are the moral laws of God. It is still evil to have other gods before Him. To commit adultery. To lie. To covet. To murder in our hearts...
No, we are not under the Mosiac law - ANY part of it. Nowhere in Scripture does it define “moral laws”. This is an invention of man. What part of “dead to the law” do you not get? Romans 7 couldn’t possibly be anymore clear. Dead to the law means just that - dead to the law. Even Romans 7 says this includes yes the 10 commandments. Look it up!
@@abideintheWord Ok I hear you. Please don't be angry with me, Adam. I want to know the truth, Brother. Last question, why this?

"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." Matt 7:12 That's the last question. I appreciate it.

The building is simply a place to gather for the body. The tithes are there to pay the bills. Although I will say I agree with you that Christians are the most important things though faithful Christians are important, carnal Christian add problems and are like warm Christians. They are not being faithful. I was like warm and you lose value and you become like homeless because you cannot serve the world and God at the same time.
Yup, just like most churches today! “And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!”” John 2:16 NKJV
Hey buddy. I noticed you teach that the Bible teaches that we can completely cease all sin. I very much agree with this too. I have actually highlighted every single verse in the NT which conveys that idea and the highlights are color coded to show the different levels of clarity. There is a LOT of scripture which teaches this idea at some level of clarity and there's a lot of verses that completely directly or nearly completely directly that teaches it too. Would you want a copy of this eBible with these highlights?
Also, I've written a document that explains the the qualities of each level of clarity. For example, the most clear verses directly mention that we can completely stop sinning forever. The second most clear only mention we can completely stop sinning but don't mention an endless duration. I'd be interested to see what improvements to the categorization you come up with.
@@abideintheWord My life has been living proof that believers can sin but they have access to ALL of Gd's resources to stop sinning. A believer can sin but they can also completely cease from sin through Js supernatural provision.
They don't believe HIM at all they believe that HE can do all things but not help them to stop SINNING it's just crazy
