Only Jesus Christ was and is perfect. Only Jesus Christ is good enough for God. No one comes to the Father except through Jesus Christ. He alone is the way, the truth and eternal life. Unless He washes us clean, we'll have no part with Him. The will of God is that we believe in His Son Jesus so that we will have eternal life through Him.
I can never fulfill the Law and be perfect. None of us can. We're all sinners and fallen short of God's glory. We can't save ourselves to Heaven with our good works. That's why God gave His only begotten Son so that anyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. Jesus Christ did everything for us! All I can do is to remain with Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.
Please don't let anyone or anything in this world stop you from turning to Jesus Christ, your only way to eternal life. Turn to Him and stay with Him!
HALLELUJAH AMEN
I love to hear Doug preach...Sometimes when I get down God uses Doug to lift me up, using Gods word...I may not completely and totally go along with everything he says ,but he,s the closes thing to the truth I can find so far....
Its not Doug to look to.
its Christ who is truth.
In fact Doug might want you to pay for the Gift.
Eph 2:8
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-
its not about fellings if he says something that is wrong then its wrong
***** Lol Quoting Paul is now a Lie......?
Eph 2:8
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-
Not only this God has stopped imputing Sin...
Rom 5:13
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
You see this is establishing a doctrine of Grace not works.
Rom 5:13
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
UNTIL the law. sin could not be imputed.
When the law was established at Sinai ....sin could be Imputed.
It makes all such perfect logic.
Happy as always Michael to here you view of "imputed sin"
Getting upset is just giving in the Flesh opportunity to flare up and say thing we wished we hadn't.
To use a Footy term, go for the Ball,(Bible Text) not the man (Me), Lol
*****
Lol, You really want to be under law Michael..
What can you look forward to under Law?
The law is a Curse to us.
Gal 3:13
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us:
Is it the Curse that appeals to you?
or
You wish to be kept under the law maybe.
Gal 3:23
But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
You wish to perhaps establish your own righteousness.
Rom 3:21
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested,
You wish to be a worker.
Rom 4:4
Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
Grace, michael, is unmerited favor. no good works required.
You better behaviour is not by a Law that is a Curse but by you being led by the Spirit.
Gal 5:18
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law or under the curse of the law.
Glory to God righteousness is without LAW.........
Rom 3:21
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested,
*****
you say"Tell it to Abraham."?
Paul is talking to you not Abraham.
Mans relationship to law has changed.
Why do you ignore the elephant in the room.
Paul said the Law is a curse.
Shouldnt your dispute be with Paul.
I am just the messenger repeating what Paul has said.
The quality question is WHY Paul said the law is a Curse.
If you don`t know.................. this is when you go back to the bible and find out......
Thank you Pastor Bachelor for your encouraging words and message of hope in Jesus Christ.
This is a sermon that every professing Christian needs to hear. Many Christians and non-Christians believe that if you break God's law that God will continue to extend His grace, love and mercy forever. In spite of our lawlessness or breaking his law God extends His grace over and over. This is strange that we don't expect from those who enforce city, state or federal laws. Why is this? Do we put human authority and human laws higher than God and His laws? God say if you love me keep my commandments. This video points out what God expects from us. It points out what God will do for us and in us.How could this teaching be so neglected. I will never know? This is a beautiful message. It gives me hope. It lets me know that God cares for me and that he not trying to take away my fun, but he trying to save me from destruction.
Often people say - oh that's legalism and salvation by works - yadayada.... Trying to be perfect without Christ is a tall order, but with Christ's helping you.
Most Christians are aware of being called to follow the law of God in some ways - e.g. how many would cheat on their wives/husbands and say, "Oh I'm forgiven, I'm saved!"
You can NOT lose your salvation by sin... The Holy Spirit works in a person once he is saved to help him walk a narrower path. Everyone starts wherever they are, and keeps improving as the work of Sanctification is done in them by THE HOLY SPIRIT! Even that is not of us! ALL GLORY be to GOD!!! Everyone who comes to the Lord, comes at a different level. Saving faith is believing that what Jesus did at the cross WAS ENOUGH! There is NOTHING we can add. The last thing He said before dying on the cross was "Tetelestai!" Which translated means "It IS FINISHED!" This man is a WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING! RUN!!!! God bless!!!
Will Robinson hey Willy, when we die and are made new what are we gonna look like? Now hurry up, I don’t have all night.
HALLELUJAH AMEN

great teachings
Thank you for this wonderful presentation... GOD BLESS :D
Excellent. Thank you for sharing
God rsisteth the proud but gives grace unto the humble.
Wow well I just did a short bible study in this subject per say . How much is our effort to be righteous and how much is faith well become what he called us to become, we're perfected only by the blood of Christ in our SPIRIT. The body we live in has been defiled and is predispositioned to sin, this includes our mind. Our soul is being washed clean as we study to show ourselves approved. This is why he says renew you mind DAILY! So the spirit of The Lord is perfect within us,
Dear Pastor Doug Batchelor: I want to start off by saying I love you and peace be with you. I made you part of my life because you helped me become closer to Jesus and now i read my Bible alot more than ever and now i always look on youtube to see if you have any new sermon. I wanted to know and maybe you can do research on this and share it with others but... i wanted to know if it is ok with you that you teach us in your opinion according to the Bible and what Jesus did.. "How and when to witness" Should we witness to people even though we dont fully know much of the bible and we are currently in training or that does not matter we should witness even the little bit that we know. Should we make sure that we do not add anything nore take away anything from the Bible when we witness? Should we always do it out of good will and never in rivery? is it right to go knocking from door to door witnessing to strangers because some christians do this but i know that some countrys you can do that and some you cannot do that, did Jesus do it that way? or should we become friends with person first so that they can know more about you and you can know more about them and it wont feel strange because the person is no longer a stranger? or should witnessing be something that is schedualed for both the talker and the listener because un expected visits may turn away the listeners oppertunity ? is every place appropriate for witnessing including the work place or maybe it is not a good idea to witness at your job since you are under the clock and youv got work to do and also there might be people around from other religion and they might get offended, causing yourself to be despised by others? is it ok if a person is to shy to witness and they been shy all there life or that does not matter, we should witness anyways? Can we still be saved even if we never really witnessed to anybody but still kept all commandments, prayed a lot, lived rightious and holy lives?
I pray that you may one day help me and others how to do this . I hope to keep hearing and seeing you and the internet and maybe one day i can meet you, if i never do meet you here on this earth of sin, then i definatly hope to see you in paradise for eternity . God bless you my brother :)
Robert Adam Hello, this is a link of Pastor Batchelor's sermon linked by another person. Pastor Batchelor won't be able to read your comment. If you want to reach Pastor Batchelor contact Amazing Facts. God Bless
Robert Adam when i taught school it was in a one room school house all grades thru 8th i say this because you have introduce a valid question -- i will try ok? dont let your worries bout your newness bother you rejoice in your lords love and mercy study his word and pray that the lord give you witness the power to speak what the lord has you given in season. meaning study his word and pray he will give you what you need.....this usually does not mean a former education tell others about jesus love this is your witness !
Robert Adam many of those who are witnessing for the lord do so in as much they have been given just tell people what jesus has done for you !
+Robert Adam Share what you know, and keep on studying. If anyone asks you a question you don't know the answer to, tell them you'll study it out, or better yet, find the answer from the Bible with them.
Please pray for me because i need the per of those i love God bless you.
Christians ought to strive with the guiding influence and empowerment of the Holy Spirit to fulfill the central demand of love which remits to be worked out in every specific situation. I say ought to and not should, because as we all know we are only perfected by faith in Christ, by God's imputed righteousness towards us.
Faith = Salvation + Good Works, NOT Faith and Good Works = Salvation. Eph 2:8-16
@truth7seeker, you may cause others discouragement and a moment of " wow he knows more then me" . However I'm open enough to hear your heart of the matter. This man could be wrong , I'm not saying he is but how does he realign and teach truthfully ? I'd really love to comprehend his wrongs and your point.
I needed this thank the Lord for pastor Doug..
I get so tired of so called ministers who say we can stop sinning. He who says that he is without sin is a liar and the truth is not in him.
2Cor.5:17-21 God has reconciled us to Himself...Behold I make all things new
Roman 5:17-21 even so by the righteousness of the one the free ift came upon all men
Love it
Love this sermon!!!!! Truth!!
was truly blessed from this sermon!
Absolutely Amen Praise the Lord Pastor Doug Bachelor
There is no obtainable proof of evolution and Darwin himself doubted his own theory. Countlessly he edited the Origin of Species, one edition after another (so books, as in plural), as there were always doubts and unresolved issues. How many times was the bible edited may i ask? Furthermore, God is a perfect being, hence the Bible (His Word), is incapable of contradicting itself. To understand a single verse you must compare it to similar or nearby verses.
Amen
Amen
Amen
i would like to request to all the right thinking research scholars to go through all the lines and interpretation of the Bible and find out the truth about the Bible, if so, you may even scared to say that world exist from know where as it say in evolution... Amen Pastor Doug batchelor....May you live long and continue your service to spread the good news of Christ for those who know nothing and for those who are in confuse of it....
My question is, what happens if the sanctification process is incomplete at death - e.g. the thief on the cross. What is forgiven and what's not? Is it negligent disobedience vs deliberate disobedience?
Jesus, let me abide in you that I may not sin before you anymore 🙏
Thank You Holy Father, You Are Great And Worthy To Be Praised.
Thank you so very much that you are led by the Holy Ghost, to tell the truth as it is written. Wow! for the first time I got it. And it is wonderfull!
The mind/soul is being renewed into righteousness daily. The body will be done away with as it returns to the earth well receive our "glorified " bodies. So remember we are a tri-part being. We are righteous in spirit being made righteous in our mind daily as we crucify the flesh daily until perfection ,all 3 righteous once were gathers as his bride. Be careful of LEGALISM it's subtle and as sinful, as external sinful acts. He expects our best as we accept the blood of Jesus ,not perfection
Christians should live their lives morally perfect, blameless, righteously.
Nothing about this video makes me feel better. Not everyone who says "amen" to this video will enter God's kingdom so i dont see what the big praise is
If i ever achieve a PERFECT, SPIRITUALLY STERILE life in God, you can call me Jesus Christ, that being said we all might as well be living it up till our doom cause i dont think anyone on earth is or will ever be as perfect like or as God.
So how perfect can a human be? :/
A human can try his/her best and i sure hope thats all we're expected of or would will ALL burn
Only Jesus Christ was and is perfect. Only Jesus Christ is good enough
for God. No one comes to the Father except through Jesus Christ. He
alone is the way, the truth and eternal life. Unless He washes us clean,
we'll have no part with Him. The will of God is that we believe in His
Son Jesus so that we will have eternal life through Him.
I can never fulfill the Law and be perfect. None of us can. We're all
sinners and fallen short of God's glory. We can't save ourselves to
Heaven with our good works. That's why God gave His only begotten Son so
that anyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
Jesus Christ did everything for us! All I can do is to remain with Jesus
Christ, my Lord and Savior.
Please don't let anyone or anything in this world stop you from turning
to Jesus Christ, your only way to eternal life. Turn to Him and stay
with Him!
Venus Above this is so true!!
Sister, please have hope! Let me tell you something right now... As long as God blesses you with life day by day, YOU STILL HAVE HOPE!! DO NOT LET THE DEVIL BRING YOU DOWN! Your not doing this alone! Jesus is always with you. ALWAYS! Pray to the father and end in the name of Jesus Christ, I'm telling you, you still have hope, so do I, so does everyone who lives and calls on the Lord. Jesus Loves You! I love you! God Bless You!
If a rich man comes in in rich apparel and you say sit up here and a poor man comes in in filthy clothing and you say sit thou here at my footstool.Have you not become judges with evil thoughts????
Oh Pastor Doug I thank you so much for making this message so powerful and very clear by the power of the Holly Spirit. I have confused by many preachers, but I thank God the Creator of the Heaven and Earth for His Spirit by leading me to watch this message. I appreciate God very much for not letting me to confusion but leading me by His holly spirit in time to watch this message delivered by His servant you Mr. Pastor Doug.
I made my mom listen to this, because prior she didn't believe anyone could truly be "perfect". Well, now she knows.
Dear Pastor Batchelor: wow, now I understand through your simple illustrations: stop and not just slow down, take dominion of the cluttered space, that it is possible to sin no more. Thank you.
I do think a lot of churches today imply the following message:
"Christ has saved you from having to pay the punishment of your sins. You have already been given the gift of eternal life so don't burden yourself with the work of sanctification. You don't have to bother with this whole "sinless" stuff. It's not really possible anyway. You are free in moderation to sin when it suits because Christ has paid in full."
"How does an ant eat an elephant? One bite at a time" Praise God, that is the best example of advise on cleaning up your life of sin I have ever heard. Thank you God.
Where then is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? NO! , but that of faith. For we MAINTAIN that a man is justified by faith APART from observing the law Rom 3:27
Praise the Lord for this tremendous message. I really needed it. Sin is a poison that only Jesus can cure
Pastor Doug is amazing with the teaching of our Lord. Thank God for us having him. May God bless you many more with wisdom.
This was perfect!🙂
Thank you pastor Doug Batchelor for what you do God bless you.
What a wonderful message...all need to hear this.!!! Thank you pastor doug!!!
je voudrais traduire en francais cette predic...comment dois je procéder pour l entendre en francais? Merci
There are many addictions out there...keep praying..sometimes we must fast too, to get past our addictions. The point is TRYING to change. Sometimes it takes one step at a time. I believe we can all be victorious over our sins!
You can NOT lose your salvation by sin... The Holy Spirit works in a person once he is saved to help him walk a narrower path. Everyone starts wherever they are, and keeps improving as the work of Sanctification is done in them by THE HOLY SPIRIT! Even that is not of us! ALL GLORY be to GOD!!! Everyone who comes to the Lord, comes at a different level. Saving faith is believing that what Jesus did at the cross WAS ENOUGH! There is NOTHING we can add. The last thing He said before dying on the cross was "Tetelestai!" Which translated means "It IS FINISHED!" This man is a WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING! RUN!!!! God bless!!!
This video shows me that I am not saved. I have tried to quit my sins but I cannot. I feel terrible about my sins but I continue to do them... :(
I don't know what your "sins" are but, this video, and many others, WOW!, What a brain wash. All that the bible and jesus and god and blah blah blah and all that blah is, is just an epic literature like Gilgamesh. Just somewhere along the way people started to "Believe" in epic literature as truth and life and the way to live. Please do not believe this. This "Stuff" needs to leave our earth. We people(humans) are a very creative species, as you can clearly see in this video. You are "saved". Save your damn self. Be a strong individual yourself. You do not need a brainwashing lie to change yourself. Just please be yourself. Don't miss understand me though. I believe that people can believe in whatever they want, and i respect that. But some things like certain portions of Christianity, is just a little bit "out of this world" if you will. I say all this with the most respect i can. Good luck in your life. Honestly.
Chatara is right. The fact that you feel terrible about your sins is a good sign that you aren't complacent. Ask for forgiveness and the strength to overcome your sins. Maybe you are discouraged but if you believe that Jesus is the son of God who died for your and my sins you ARE SAVED. We will be thinking and praying for you Matthew :)
Your righteousness is not dependent on your actions.
It is external of you.
Your job is to accept a Gift.
It was paid for 2000 years ago.
It is pointless to pay again by your miserable effort or your works of the Law.
Eph 2:8
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- No law here bro.
You are saved not of yourself.
You have complete liberty in Christ.
Gal 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage (law and works)
Rom 6:4
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
You walk in newness of life in the Knowledge that christ has paid the price.
This knowledge will conquer sin not your efforts to be good.
God bless Christs righteousness because mine stinks.
I understand you’re feelings, but don’t give up cause God won’t give up on you. Keep praying, he hears you and he will answer your prayers, just believe when your praying and you will see some change soon. God bless you and your journey ✝️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼☮️☮️☮️
Amen!
WE CAN MAKE IT don't worry how big the mountain is rather BECAUSE OUR GREAT GOD IS BIGGER and will give us victory over no matter how hi how wide how far GOD CAN DO ANYTHING nothing is impossible for our LORD...........GOD BLESS YOU DOUG YOU ALLWAYS BLESS ME BY THE HOLY SPIRIT FILLED SERMONS LOVE BELOVED.....
Keep prying for me : "Lord Jesus Christ ,Son of the Living God have mercy on me a sinner" . Can you say this prayer 100 times per day for me? I will appreciate.
The scripture itself does not put emphasis on which is first or last as the determining factor of authority. The process of inspiration and writing of the OT is no different than the NT. The reason why the Church of Israel failed is that they raised there ecclesiastical traditions than the scriptures! It could be same with any church today! The WHOLE (old and new) scripture, as the WORD OF GOD, is "scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, reproof, correction. 2Tm 3:16
You obviously dont read the bible through the holy spirit like God intended and you obviously know nothing about ellen g white and her writings. Like God called other prophets not just her, their visions were different of the bible also because to study the bible it goes beyond what the words say through visions God reveals more to those he has chosen, alot of EGW's writings are very much in sync with the bible for you not to understand that you are not learning through the spirit of God
Thread, "Investigative Jud.", I would say this SDA doctrine, I.J., is more demaging than the "Jesuit oath" reletaive to Protestants or even non-SDA-Sabbath keepers, like 7th Day Babtist. Why, it is more subtle than the aforemention "Jesuit Oath:" ? It undermines the basic teaching of redemption and how Jesus finished the work of redemption at the cross when he said, "It is Finished".
Phili.3:6-9 touching the righteousness which is in the law blameless...I do count it but dung that I may win Christ. And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.
Rom.3:21-28 BUT NOW the righteousness of God apart from the law is manifested
Rom.4:4-8 God imputes righteousness without works
Rom.10:2-4 But some people choose to work for their righteousness
Gal.2:21
It is sad. You have a message that is true and good, yet it is couched in contempt for your fellow man who has been deceived. To be more precise, the Law is a direct transcript of Yeshua's and Yehovah's character, but have you ALWAYS known this? Would you have been drawn to the Truth by someone laughing at you? No, in truth you serve Satan, people look at you and condemn the rest of us obedient because of who YOU are and the way you present yourself. Stop it before you incur correction.
If we look at the context of Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5, He is talking about loving your brother and those outside of your own circle of friends and family. And a Greek word study will show that the word translated as "perfect" can also be translated as something close to "mature". So we may be using the word differently than Jesus used it here. We can see from Matthew 25 that the King is concerned with our actions toward others regarding charity (love) and justice. So, be mature in love.
Now here is an Amazing Fact: In Great Controversy, Ellen White's greatest book, she claims that every single follower who refuse to believe the math of William Miller regarding 1844 and the 2300 day prophecy; will need to stand in their own "perfection" without the power of Jesus as our mediator. Ellen White really says that she thinks Jesus is not available since He is busy with the Father inside the Holy of Holies with the entrance being a "closed door". Her own words "Closed Door" .
The title reads: "How Perfect Should a Christian Be?"
Answer: We ought to be perfectly sinless in our lives. But this also applies to the non-believer. Every creature of God ought to be sinless.
Q. How perfect are actual Christians?
A. We are not perfectly sinless; this does not happen until glorification, at the 2nd Advent.
"Ought" never implies ability. "Should" is synonymous with "ought".
"Ought" statements are imperatives; they are not meant to teach us of our abilities.
Hebrews 10:9-14 by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of J.C. once for all.- a perfect passive in the greek- it was done in a moment of time and you weren't involved; it was done by somebody else- done to you and not by you. Once and for all time.
verse 14 for by one offering He has perfected forever them that are sanctified.
We are saved by grace through faith. Period. Eph 2:4-9
The book of James says you must act opon your faith or it isnt faith. A far cry from saying we must become morally perfect in this life in order to "finalize" our salvation. We are saved by grace through faith. Period. (Ephesians 2:4-9) Works come naturally as a result, but they have no bearing on the salvation process because at every step we are covered by the imputed righteousness of Christ. (Romans 3:20-28; 4:4,5,8; 10:2-4) The bible does not teach a doctrine of character perfection.
Heb.10:14 For by one offering he has perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Rom.8:29-30 called, justified, sanctified, glorified. All work of God.
Matthew 5:48 How do we accomplish perfection equalling the perfection of God Himself? By faith in Christ who fulfilled the law, and who nailed it to the cross on behalf of all who believe on His name. No Christ did not come to destroy the law- it still applies to all who are outside the grace of God. But believers are already considered perfect.
Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the Spirit of our God."
Galatians 3:11 (NKJV)
11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.”[a]
Luke 13:22-30 (NKJV)
The Narrow Way
22 And He went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. 23 Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there few who are saved?”
And He said to them, 24 “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able.
People don't actually enter his rest, because they are trying to fulfill the Law, Observing The Sabbath day is not Observing Jesus Christ for it says in scripture that the Law was nailed to the Cross. Humbly Jesus said to observe him, enter his rest, his shoulders are broad. He is the truth the Narrow WAY, which leads us to Life. 😊
Galatians 5:5New (NKJV)
5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. (Faith means Believing, accepting Jesus in your heart means you believe his words when he said Receive Him and you'll have the Father, Receive him and you'll receive eternal life)
2 Corinthians 13:5 (NKJV)
5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?-unless indeed you are disqualified/Reprobate.
(Reprobate=an unprincipled person, A Person who is predestined to damnation) Remember, UNLESS YE BE REPROBATES. BUT JESUS IS! IN US!!! 😁😁😁😁
Romans 8:6-8 (NKJV)
6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
The Law was to point out to us our sin. It was to show us how much we need Jesus.
The moment you Truly believe in Jesus in your heart, You have asked for the Holy Spirit you do Receive him, Get Baptized because you are Saved. Baptism is being buried with Christ and risen with Christ. Letting the old you die. For it is he that now lives you! Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the World!
Actually religion is a derivative of the word regiment . Regiment is a derivative of fear without GOD. Faith is a derivative of Father our GOD. Many have stolen this IDENTITY in acceptance of wealth{the fiat dollar } without GOD, and became a religion. Show us how to be brave and GOD will give us HIS SON. The best teaching of a man of faith is the knowledge he has acquired through OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Which version ? The one modified by Scofield ? Or the one "wisely" interpreted by Doug in his cult developed in 1844 ?
What happened with CHRIST's teachings by the word of mouth since 33 AD until the time when the Bible was written? Are we trowing that away? So therefore according with your narrow mind the CHURCH that gave birth to the Bible is not good anymore huh? WOW!
Heb.10:9-14 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.- a perfect passive in the Greek. It was done in a moment of time and you weren't involved; it was done by somebody else- done to you and not by you. Once and for all time.
v.14 For by one offering He has perfected forever them that are being sanctified.
3) Doug Batchelor, SALVATION is ONLY in CHRIST's CHURCH as known as HIS BRIDE or as ONE HOLY CATHOLIC (as Universal) AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH or ORTHODOX CHURCH.
THE CHURCH that Christ Himself is the AUTHOR is the typology of NOAH's ARK, if you are out side of CHURCH you are in the "rain & flood".
a person can only be "under the law" the moment when he/she violated it...let's put this way; you will be sued in court unless you have violation on any law of your state.in same manner we will become under the law the moment we transgress it.
Acts 15:5-31 certain sect of pharisees saying it was needful to be circumcised and to COMMAND THEM TO KEEP THE LAW OF MOSES
Acts 21:21-25 As touching the gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they OBSERVE NO SUCH THING
No one is perfect only our lord and savior Jesus Christ,but if you always confess your sin to him then you will always go back to zero sin,every time you commit sin always ask forgiveness and that's why prayer is so important in every walk of our life.
If you call me "ignorant" must be because you lead me by example..yet I am not ignorant...better call me sinner or imperfect in search of PERFECTION which perfection is possible with GOD.
Have a blessed life in Christ!
Before the Catholic church came about, there were the Jews who kept all God's commandment including the 4th. Research how the catholic church came about. Study the Bible pray and ask God to reveal His truth to you
my brother God love you so much if you would just study your bible, pastor doug believes what you call the bible and the bible alone. do not fight the spirit but pray i will pray for you too my brother
what in the world are you talking about? Salvation is only through Jesus Christ himself, not through any church. I may have misread what you wrote, but it was what I got from it.
Your sounding very ignorant my friend. Following the church is WRONG!! Follow the Word of God, The Bible!! Research about the origin of the Catholic church. Read and study man!
This life is a sanctification stage, where we learn to obey Jesus. For instance Doug thinks it's a sin to eat pork, so if you were eating pork up until the time of death then according to a Catholic, you'd go to some sort of Purgatory. With the power of Jesus, you can pray for help with sins. If Purgatory was real I would have thought Jesus would explain it to the thief on the cross.
(I like pork, but I suppose if the Bible is saying we are called to stop eating it, then I suppose I should obey, rather than trying to find bible verses about it being okay.)
I'm sorry, I agree that Jesus died for our sins. But the Bible tells us over and over again how to act and how not to act. You cannot just live in disobedience.
Who told you that lie? Are you saying that you are living in sin? What sin? If not, then you are living in obedience to Jesus, are you not?
@burf urple Amen! Amen!...and to get technical, it was His faith that saved us, and not our own. Even our faith is "not of our own"
Well done thank you for sharing.
truth and very encouraging!!
Gal 2:4,5 because of false brethren..which might bring us into bondage
Gal 3:10-13 the law is not of faith. Lawkeeping is the opposite of faith as a Spiritual goal
Gal 3:16-27 until the seed (Jesus) should come
Gal 4:21 - 5:1 these are the two covenants
Gal 5:4-9 whosoever of you that are justified by the law; you are fallen from grace..a little leaven leavens the whole lump
Thanks for the nice sermon. I am pretty sure E.G. White wrote about the scripture, be ye perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect" Is as our Father in heaven is perfect in his sphere, so are we to be in our human sphere. I think that's the word she used, was sphere, or maybe meaning sphere of influence or location? I would have to look it up, but I know as soon as we have overcome some negative influence in our lives, we will then see another, that's the growth, growing up in Christ I think is a good way to put it. If we think we are done growing, then we have been deceived, because we will always have room for improvement and see that we are not done.
Sin is transgretion of the Law .satan is the first sinner .the Law is in Heaven and is eternal.God wants you to learn until you hate sinning.satan chase only those who obey God.and God loves those who obey Him.
Amen Jesus to strived. On that cross ohhh his prayer to the father if it be possible take this cup from me . he strived to the cross sister one slow step after another. Agonized pain but little by little he made it in hopes to see his children again.
Every religion that accepts a fiat generated dollar, will only deny the children of GOD the path of perfection.
What does GOD's promise in Hosea 2:11 and Colossians 2:14-17 have in common???
4) Doug Batchelor I feel sorry for you and for the multitudes that you are MISLEADING.
Be ye HOLY the king james said, not perfect. Holiness is being IN CHRIST, he is our holiness, and HOPE to be like him, its not until we see him. Does anyone think while Jesus was alive, that he would just come out and tell everyone, the enemy included what would take place at the cross? Or tell the world that he would be have a resurrected body shortly? God always demanded perfedt holiness, this is why we need a savior......and its Jesus rightousness that is given to us, freely to those who believe on him. Satan has sure come up with all sorts of ways to trample GRACE.
Missytrilakes you're wrong Mathew 5:48 saids "Be perfect, therefore, as your Heavenly Father is perfect".
Can I ask... where in the bible (not church) does it say not to keep the 10 commandments but 9? Scripture please =)
He has memorized those verses already..you may check it and find that it is..!!
You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh? 4 Have you experienced so much in vain-if it really was in vain? 5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard? 6 So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
No one can please God by obeying the Law
My Question is, why do the Seventh Day Adventists show a dipiction assuming (Pictures) of Jesus, supposedly a White Man, with long hair? Doesn't the Ten Commandments forbid such a thing, when His Description was a blending in with the people of His Day, and not of any special attraction?
This is with most of the supposed Christian denominations, dipicting pictures of Jesus Christ? This is another Jesus!
Salvation is a gift, one which we can never earn. Romans chapter 5
