I agree. I studied Plato in my degree and the idea of a disembodied truth is the Greek idea of the ideal: that reality is removed from us, and that what we see are just shadows of a non material reality. The Hebrew idea of humanity is the concrete mixture of mud and the breath of God, the life that the Lord breathed life into the mud figure so that it became a living soul/ body.
Thank you, Torben. I've heard faith is understood by jews as obedience. When you ask them a question "Do you believe in God?", they hear it as "Are you obedient to what God is saying?". It really helps to realize the true meaning of faith.

@@murraylloyd6011 True faith is not only believing Jesus for the remission of our sins; true faith is also believing Him as our LIFE and ALL. If He is not our very LIFE, we don't yet know what faith in Him is. Jesus said: "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him." True heaven-born faith from the soul of Jesus IS faithful to God as Abraham was. IT IS FAITH THAT IS WORKING THROUGH LOVE (Gal.5: 6). This faith is in heart-cleansing, soul-transforming, sin-banishing, world-overcoming, power of God! Keep that in mind when you read what John writes: "He who DOES the will of God abides for ever." (1John.2: 17), just as the Lord said: "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who DOES the will of My Father in heaven." (Matt.7: 21) This is the new life in faith in Jesus, who is LORD. He said: "Abide in Me!" (John.15: 1-6) "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) Torben is speaking just right here in this video!
God bless you! Read the Bible, pray without ceasing, believe on the Lord Jesus, and love God. My prayers are with you, dear friend, the reward will be worth it in Heaven!
I am a missionary in Japan! We can do this! Let's believe!!! I've been believing that God can do what Torben is talking about here in this country! God, raise up believers! Come in a powerful way!

So happy to see you out of jail and rejoicing in your struggles for they fortified you even more ! God is so good !!! I teach the same subject about faith , my husband died or 7 min in Thailand and God used me to raise him from the dead. And this lesson for me was huge Centurion faith is making up your mind you are healed And people don’t understand we are so filled with unbelief Blessings to you abundantly !!!
Thank you Torben! This "greek mindset" has been a stumbling block as I stopped doing what I shouldn't do(sin) but was broken by the lack of good actions (works) B/C OF THIS VERY DISSCONNECT! Praise God! He spoke to me through YOU!
I've recently learned this too! Hebrew is a verb, something that you do. Greek is a philosophy something that you feel or think. Jesus, Paul, John were all trying to explain to us Hebrew ways of DOING things. Paul and John were trying to convey these ACTION Verbs with Greek thoughts. Unfortunately, today, our language also "thinks" the way of the Greeks, so BELIEVE has been reduced to "a belief" and not something that you live out and DO such as "aman" in Hebrew. Thumbs up!
This makes so much sense! That’s why we misinterpret Paul in Romans as him (as a follower of Christ) not doing what he wants to do and struggling with wanting to do the will of God but not being able to when in reality, if you look at the full letter as a whole, Paul is talking about his struggle when he was a pharisee and how he wanted to do the will of God but couldn’t (because we were slaves to sin in our old life) but now we are free to do the will of God and don’t have to answer to sin! We can truly act on what we believe!
Hey Torben so nice to see you free and back on this continent. I took it bad when you were thrown in jail. So glad to see you out and safe. Thanks for this teaching.
Shalom and thank you. Q: Paul seemed to believe there were 2 "entities" in his body, which will not allow him to do what he wanted to do. So basically the body and the spirit/soul are only one but sin that lives in us is another that brings basically the same result no? Would you please explain how are the two different? Or, what's the advantage of being either the spirit / soul or sin? Romans 7:15 “For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the clarity and explanation. Faith is an action. Faith is expressed in actions of love and mercy. Our speech and deeds are to reflect Christ in us
So..confessing is an physical action SAYING that you believe….followed by the physical action of baptism SHOWING that you believe. Faith (confession) + Works (Baptism) 🎉❤😊 You show what you believe by what you do. I am baptized to demonstrate my belief. So good.
I agree with you about baptism. In Acts baptism immediately follows conviction and coming back to the Father (we are washed like the prodigal son straight away and then given covering, sonship, and authority (robe, shoes and the ring).
So true 🙏🏻 , if you need an accountant my son has just got saved has been learning Spanish for 4 years and feels a calling to South America . Would love to help out in anyway for bed and board .🙏🏻
..yes. Something spiritual happens.... David Pawson tells the story of how a spiritualist could not see a christian in the spirit realm after he had been baptised.. she thought he had died !! 🙂
some leaders in church just smart to manage money to buy or rent church but have ambitious ly ugly heart motives so they don't reflect Jesus, don't touch people's hearts & don't love people... so they keep soft hearted ones around them coz around them those leaders & their church looks better than they really are... coz some leaders misuse their position & authority & bully & push people out that is not God'will but own personal issues... & justified by cowards in own church... so what they are building? family business as cold money making without properly socialising with people who pay tithes!?...
The word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Torben, it's nice seeing you back. I believe God has a purpose in your transfer. USA is really primed for judgement. Can we pray for Assange? Please encourage others. Thanks
Wow! Actually i just listened to your video and it just hit me that this is true! My degree has no practical application whatsoever and no demand for personal engagement with the idea/doctrine in consideration.
The Only True Teacher is Our Father God. Glory to the Jesus His Son and His Spirit. Luke 24:36 KJV [36] And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. [45] Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, Matthew 23:8 AMPC [8] But you are not to be called rabbi (teacher), for you have one Teacher and you are all brothers. Take Bible and pray to Our God to understand the Truth. This world is satanic and full of lies and evil acts. School sistem, medicine, science, music, art, movies, etc.
Muchas gracias Torben. Estaria bueno que traduzcan los videos tambien al español. Algunas veces el subtítulo automatica de youtube no traduce bien jaja. Saludos desde Argentina. Bendiciones hermanos
Torben thank you, I really love you. The first time I heard the Gospel is from you 😊 praise God 🙌 I m sorry it's maybe a little different topic, but It's kind of bothering me... What about 1 Kor. 11 about head covering : Paul say a woman should have her head covered as because of the angles, so she is under authority. So it is also a physical sign of something spiritual? I don't want to cover my head but do I have to? If Jesus wants me to cover my head I will do it... Can you do some teaching on women in ministry? That would really be very helpful. God bless you 🙏
Paul was speaking specifically to the women of Cirinth... Their culture wirshipped a god called the Pythia.. Only had women priests, whowere mediums.. Went into a trance & brought a "prophecy" from the "deity" for the initiate... Men were totally emasculated in so many ways... Men had never been respected, but lived by superstition & fear.. Men had not learnt to "cover" women spiritually. There was no concept of husbands, fathers... The Father-heart of God, in their culture.... So Paul had to start by silencing & greatly humbling the wonen, in a spiritual/ church meeting context... To re-teach them what is Biblically a man & a woman... Never take a text out of its iriginal context!!!! Paul is addressing the people of Corinth, not you! We have to learn from that context, & what Paul was aiming at achieving in the conduct of men & women...
I very much appreciate this teaching. How wonderful to hear q man of God saying to put on the Hebrew mindset! It is all connected! So beautiful and amazing. Bringing the mind and body together, the 'old' testament and the 'new' testament. It is the WHOLE testament! Many blessings upon you and your family.
The joy of being able to do that (heal the Mexican man). Torbyn don't feel bad. Most people, including me, lead fairly boring lives and dream of one day doing the things you have already done so far.
We do need to understand the importance of Jewish culture and language. Just on the subject of a shepherd and the sheep . It teaches us so much about God's love for us
This is interesting. Before I was a Chritian, one of tge thing I used to say was that Christians would act differently if they believed what they says they do.
Well said. Half of christians fulfill christian duties to feel closer to God but the heart is in the wrong place that why many people are walking in the wrong calling. Man sees the outside but God sees what’s hidden inside. That’s why Jesus said that many people clean the outside of the cup but the inside is dirty, He wants us to clean the inside and by default the outside will be clean. Our motives, intentions, are they pure? Or is it just a religious selfish gain type a thing I think about this all the time when it comes to Godly things. All that to say that when I meditate the word I put it into action when the time comes. From what I’ve learned God is all about timing when the time is right it’s action time.
I've been waiting for this moment. Sometimes Jesus take us out for a while out of the world so we can focus more into deeper of His Word and to see more as in a telescope. Thsnk you Jesus.
@@YESHUAISLORD22 Sorry we have to write this way. Hope you know why. The Lord's grace is sufficient for us, dear friend in Christ, what does our Lord have to open for the anger of the Lamb to begin in the last book of the Bible? Hope you can understand now dear friend.
@@YESHUAISLORD22 Dear friend, let us discuss one - by - one please. This may sound obvious, but please answer one - by - one so that we can understand each other. 1) Which is the last book of the Bible?
God's Word says let your yes be yes and your no be no. // Belief bares fruit. The action does not save -- but if you do not act on what you believe, then you do not truly believe what you are claiming you do. Sometimes we lie to ourselves. Sometimes we do not see it. Whatever the root, look for fruit and course correct if you need to!!
..i like that. this expresses that well... although Ive also come to believe that as the word for 'trust' & 'believe' is pisteou in the Greek which in the main, means 'to trust'. So we trust Jesus by believing that he paid the price for our sin on the cross and then also showing that we trust Him by doing what He says... Is that works through the back door !! 🙂 it squares the circle for me.. the amplified bible brings this out well John 3:16 16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes (trusts in, clings to, relies on) in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
By the way i would like to meet you in Mexico. I speak Spanish and feel an attraction to South America. I'm a bible school graduate, Rhema type college.
Yes, amen to this teaching! The Church has been invaded by Greco-Roman Philosophy and Paganism. The Apostles Teaching, particularly Paul's, warns us against this time and time again. That's why there's no theological division between Romans and James, or should I say Jacob (because the Church titled his Epistles with the Greek version of name). Yes, it's what we do that proves our faith. The Reformation is guilty of defining actions of Faith as works and made obedience a dirty word. We don't perform works to earn our salvation, but perform our works because of our salvation. This is where the term "faith alone" is theologically incorrect. In Christ Jesus alone, yes, but by faith and works in harmony in proving our faith. In Judaism, they perform the 613 laws of the Torah, but they have no way of defeating the law of Sin and Death (This is what Paul was debating in Romans). That's why the shed blood of Christ Jesus, His death, and resurrection are so powerful because we have to spiritually and physically die with Him and rise with Him in Baptism. That action in faith with repentance is being born again, not saying a prayer. When the Jews have the Passover, they are remembering and celebrating what took place in Egypt and at the Red Sea, and when we take the bread and drink the cup, we are remembering and celebrating what Jesus did on the Cross and what we do when we are baptised into Jesus Christ. It all makes sense, and it feels like it's taken all my life to come to this place. This teaching is so liberating and amazing. Church tradition doesn't save us, but obedience to the commandments of Jesus Christ and the Apostles' teaching proves our Salvation in Him. Amen!!! 🙏
You are right to say: we need to believe and practice what we belief. Jesus was angry at the Pharisees. Why? Because they said they believe but they didn’t practice what they believed and Jesus call them hypocrites. So, the fact to believe in the head and not practice was not a Greek mindset but also a Jewish mindset. You quoted the letter from James: James wrote to the Jews who believe in Jesus and they also said they believe but they didn’t do what they said. So, we see also here that every has a propension to do it so. You are right to put the emphasis on it so that they may obey to the Lord and be blessed. Thank you for the message.
You are a very good teacher,I will say 🌹🌿You have amazing good eye contact that does a lot,but Om wondering about my own baptism. I was baptism as a baby,isnt that enough? I lives as a Christian and Im born again,but I have no speaking in tounges. I wants that,but Paulus says that not everyone speaks in tounges. Is my baptism as a baby not enough?
Babies can get circumcised but they can’t get baptized? The Orthodox Church already teaches baptism is part of salvation. I don’t think we need to reinvent the wheel, which is why I will be joining the Lord’s brothers as soon as I can, Lord willing.
@@lycorispeony1274 Good afternoon! The new covenant, and covenants in general, aren't only about what you as an individual will or decide. The only human that agreed for Jesus to be born as the Savior and Lord of the world was Mary. Her submission to God's will affects you whether you want her Son to rule over you or not. The same with Adam; his choice to break the word given to him caused all of his offspring to suffer when God righteously cursed him as He said He would. If you're a parent: did you have your children listen to false teachers as well as the righteous, or did you choose for them? God, as a loving and wise Father, makes many good decisions for us, as He wills, while still allowing us to be tested throughout our lives. At some point, the faith of our parents must become our own.
@@PizzaDisguiseit was not all babies but all male babies. The circumsition was a covenant made with one people that He will be their God. There was no forgivness of sins in it. The new covenant is individual because it includid forgivness of sins after a personal choice of faith and repentance, as judgement is individual. I live in a orthodox country and i see first hand the devastating effect that baby baptism has. It is a sinful nation that brags to be Christian. Children of believers should be trained up in the teachings of the Lord, but than they must choose whom they serve.
Repentance = Turning away from sin = Stop breaking God's commandments and begin to obey them = which is an outcome of being born again = Hebrew mindset
yes, I agree.... even Jesus told the disciples to "go and preach the gospel, baptizing them". Jesus saw it together Matthew 28:19, Peter & the boys saw it together in Acts 2:38, Acts 10 Peter preach to Cornelius and baptized them, Philip in Acts 8:26-40 preached gospel and baptized Eunuch right there when they saw water. Jesus in Mark 16:16 he that believes & is baptized shall be saved. 1 John 5:8 The Spirit, The Water & The Blood are in an agreement together.
Galatians 5:17-18 KJVS - the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
We are told to lean not on our own understanding but to acknowledge Him in all our ways this is the only way to stay free from legalism . Life in the spirit is free from the carnal mind it’s an enemy to the realm of the spirit
@@wilki61 Sorry, we have to write that way, hope you know why. Let us give glory to the Lord dear friend in Christ. Will we be raptured before or after the revealing of the son of perdition?
Hello Torben, I need your advice. I have been a Christian for about 13 years. Every once in a while I have felt tormented during worship. This has been going on for the whole 13 years. I think I have company. I can't get anyone who can help me. Any advice?
I'm also experiencing tormenting thoughts about dying and going to hell, fear and anxiety, I don't even feel like myself to smile or laugh much because of these thoughts and I can't sleep sometimes as well
@sayvionpersad6338 how long have you had them when did they start? I have had a lot of torment I noticed since recovering from covid. It made my mental status a lot worse.
@@HilaryMurray-cp6ys Been experiencing it since I came to a realization of a great amount of things in my life; I don't even know if I received the holy spirit to be a child of God, I hadn't been born again,I wasn't living the Christian life of the book of acts, I can die at anytime, Jesus is coming back soon, all these thoughts play through my mind everyday and even have me in fear sometimes to go to sleep, it recently started about last week
YOu can start resisting the devil by fasting and praying and commending the demons to comeout in the name of Jesus. Many times it is sin that opened the door. Ask the Lord to show you how they came in so you can repent and break any agreement. If all this gives no result, pray that the Lord will show you a believer with authority to cast them out.
Yes exactly, the greeks had absolutely no problem to think about godmen or all kinds of higher or lower dieties. The hebrews, in stark contrast, believed in ONE GOD AS ONE PERSON, only. Human elohim, loke Moses was called elohim, only with respect to human representatives of God, like the rebellion or Korach against Moses was treated by God as if Korach was rebelling against God himself because Moses was Goda anointed one. Now, we have another anointed one: The man Jesus Christ, who is made by God king and lord of all. In everything is he subordinate to God but exalted above everything else.
Dear Torben. I have followed you for a time. Devastated when they put you in jail. Wept and wept when you came out of prison and reunited with your beautiful family. Then, you gave all thanks to the Lord your Maker. Now, He is turning you to Zion.He is the Holy One of Israel, grafting you completely into the Cultivated Tree. The Lord bless you and keep you as He leads you. He is worthy. He is Holy🌻🙏🕊
Hey Torben i was wondering if you could do a teaching on head coverings. I have been going back and forth on it. I really do see it in the bible. And even pawson was for head coverings. Could you do a teaching on why TLR is not for head coverings biblically when David Pawson is for it? I will link the teaching here around 20 minutes. ruclips.net/video/I4AR_u99xBc/видео.htmlsi=f-f4uizEgBdRiuUD&t=1266 I am also interested in your stance on divorce and remarriage. Specifically if someone was married before they came to christ and then married a christan after they were baptized. Should they divorce?
The Gnostics (not all Greek thought is Gnostic) believed that material world could not have anything to do with our salvation and so they rejected the idea that Jesus had a body was made of material from our world. Consequently, Gnostic thinking would also reject water baptism provides salvation because water is part of this world.
this is a satanic lie to distract a person from salvation and go to hell. Luke 24:39 KJV [39] Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. Mark 16:16 KJV [16] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Boy, brother how far can you get in Ezekiel with just a Hebrew perspective? Won't that break somewhere in Ezekiel? In Revelation there are souls under the alter. You cannot have a concept of a glorified body as a Hebrew concept, can you?
Somewhat, yes, but not really. The bible says that God breathed spirit into the body and it became a living soul. The hebrew word "nephesh" simply means "a living being" which is exactly what a human is. So the soul (remeber: it simply means a living being) is the whole rather than a part of the human. There is no soul without spirit. There is also no soul without the body.
...and vines greek dictionary shows that a big part of the meaning of faith (pisteou) is trust.. and the amplified bible brings that out.. I show i trust Jesus by believing he paid the price for my sin and by doing what He says... John 3:16 16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes (trusts in, clings to, relies on) him shall not perish but have eternal life. ..and it is in the present continous tense, the person that goes on believing/trusting (Unlocking the bible, david pawson p1229). Heb 3:18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not TO THOSE WHO DISOBEYED? 19. So we see that they were not able to enter, BECAUSE OF THEIR UNBELIEF. Disobedience and unbelief here are interchanged. They did not know the Lord enough, (due to their disobedience), to trust Him..
Grace and peace man of God. I have to disagree with your explanation of the mind and flesh. I agree with your break down of beliefs. Further study 1 Thes 5:23 that we are composed of three parts, (body:spirit:soul). Read the spiritual man by Watchmen Nee, not that his book has final authority or ultimate revelation. Be led by Holy Spirit as you always are.
3:02 what you speak about is Luthers reformation. ”Thoughts is what counts and not what you do” (Luther) a split mind, you can’t differ what you think and what you do, it’ll lead to insanity. Socrates ”one who knows what’s right will do what’s right” What you do on a daily bases is what you become!
Hi George!! I’ve studied this question alot because I have been asked a lot . There’s 2 things for me that give me a lot of understanding. Before Jesus died and resurrected people could not be baptized (into Christs death and resurrection (Roman’s 6)) nor could they receive the Holy Spirit because Jesus promised in John that the spirit (the helper) would be sent after He ascended back to the Father. So the man on the cross with Jesus could not be baptized (because He hadn’t died and resurrected yet) nor receive the spirit because the spirit had not been sent yet to live inside the disciples (not until acts 2, after Jesus resurrected) ALSO something very interesting, if you think about how the thief died, he literally died with Christ. (Which is the purpose of our baptism).
there is no evidence that he was not baptized. maybe he had time before that to be baptized by the apostles. he professed his faith on the cross. died with an effusion of blood.
Agreed faith without works is dead. Also Greek mindset equals trinity confusion = 3 who's 1 what. Hebrew mindset equals clarity and truth= John 17:3 ESV [3] And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. The Greek pagan mindset has corrupted the identity of the 1 true God and his Messiah our Lord and Savior, look into it
@DennisBonich I understand what your saying, I was on your side of the fence for more than 25 years, being mislead by popular preachers and popular mainstream theology. You sadly read into the scriptures your preconceived beliefs. No Apostle, nor the Messiah ever used the following terms or phrases to describe God or his Son. / second person of the trinity, incarnation, hypostatic union, God man, God the son, God the holy spirit, 3 in 1, triune God, double nature, etc etc. Yeshua our Master was clear in his teaching John 17:3 ESV [3] And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. By the way not doubting your salvation experience, God bless
I agree. I studied Plato in my degree and the idea of a disembodied truth is the Greek idea of the ideal: that reality is removed from us, and that what we see are just shadows of a non material reality. The Hebrew idea of humanity is the concrete mixture of mud and the breath of God, the life that the Lord breathed life into the mud figure so that it became a living soul/ body.

His grace is sufficient for us, dear friend in Christ, what does our Lord have to do for the anger of the Lamb to begin?
Thank you Brother Torbin for your teaching - such a blessing!
I totally understand and agree, God's blessings to you all 🙏
Thank you for this teaching. Exactly what God has been putting on my heart
You live what you believe!
This was so good! Thank you, Brother Torben! I needed this!
I agree with you about baptism. In Acts baptism immediately follows conviction and coming back to the Father (we are washed like the prodigal son straight away and then given covering, sonship, and authority (robe, shoes and the ring).
Amen brother! Great word 👌
So true 🙏🏻
, if you need an accountant my son has just got saved has been learning Spanish for 4 years and feels a calling to South America . Would love to help out in anyway for bed and board .🙏🏻
YES!! Thank you for this word. I’ve been thinking of baptism as “physical act with spiritual impact.” Your word kinda goes along with that.
His grace is sufficient for us, dear friend in Christ, what does our Lord have to do for the anger of the Lamb to begin?
..yes. Something spiritual happens.... David Pawson tells the story of how a spiritualist could not see a christian in the spirit realm after he had been baptised.. she thought he had died !! 🙂
Repentance is called ‘teshuva’ in Hebrew. It means ‘to return’. Return to your Lord, return from your sinful behavior. Be cleansed in the baptism.
Amen and Amen! Very important distinction to read without any filters, listen to the teachings it gives and obey. ❤
some leaders in church just smart to manage money to buy or rent church but have ambitious ly ugly heart motives so they don't reflect Jesus, don't touch people's hearts & don't love people... so they keep soft hearted ones around them coz around them those leaders & their church looks better than they really are... coz some leaders misuse their position & authority & bully & push people out that is not God'will but own personal issues... & justified by cowards in own church... so what they are building? family business as cold money making without properly socialising with people who pay tithes!?...
Such a great teaching! Thank you Torben! I'm so glad you are out and doing this!
His grace is sufficient for us, dear friend in Christ, what does our Lord have to do for the anger of the Lamb to begin?
Shalom Torben Praise the Lord!
What a great teaching !!!
I can’t remember if Torben spoke on Greek vs. Hebrew mindset before but I’ve often think about it. Great teaching!
I wish I found out this information YEARS ago!!!!
Wow what today’s church is NOT teaching the people!!!
Thank you sir!!!!
His grace is sufficient for us, dear friend in Christ, what does our Lord have to do for the anger of the Lamb to begin?
Love u King Jesus! That my brother is out and that u have more for us all to do! UR NOT DONE WITH US!!! 🙌
The word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Blessings and Love Torben ❤
His grace is sufficient for us, dear friend in Christ, what does our Lord have to do for the anger of the Lamb to begin?
torben please pray for me that i may seek God with guidance and that he will may be done in my walk with Christ
Torben, it's nice seeing you back. I believe God has a purpose in your transfer. USA is really primed for judgement.
Can we pray for Assange? Please encourage others. Thanks
Wow! Actually i just listened to your video and it just hit me that this is true! My degree has no practical application whatsoever and no demand for personal engagement with the idea/doctrine in consideration.
The Only True Teacher is Our Father God. Glory to the Jesus His Son and His Spirit.
Luke 24:36 KJV
[36] And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
[45] Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
Matthew 23:8 AMPC
[8] But you are not to be called rabbi (teacher), for you have one Teacher and you are all brothers.
Take Bible and pray to Our God to understand the Truth. This world is satanic and full of lies and evil acts.
School sistem, medicine, science, music, art, movies, etc.
Wow! Powerful Word! Thank you Torben for sharing this, very clear and understandable 🙌🏻🔥🔥🔥
FAITH IS WHAT I DO IN ACTION - EXACTLY!
His grace is sufficient for us, dear friend in Christ, what does our Lord have to do for the anger of the Lamb to begin?
Muchas gracias Torben. Estaria bueno que traduzcan los videos tambien al español. Algunas veces el subtítulo automatica de youtube no traduce bien jaja. Saludos desde Argentina. Bendiciones hermanos
Amen! Hit the nail on the head.
Torben thank you, I really love you. The first time I heard the Gospel is from you 😊 praise God 🙌 I m sorry it's maybe a little different topic, but It's kind of bothering me... What about 1 Kor. 11 about head covering : Paul say a woman should have her head covered as because of the angles, so she is under authority. So it is also a physical sign of something spiritual?
I don't want to cover my head but do I have to? If Jesus wants me to cover my head I will do it... Can you do some teaching on women in ministry? That would really be very helpful. God bless you 🙏
Paul was speaking specifically to the women of Cirinth... Their culture wirshipped a god called the Pythia.. Only had women priests, whowere mediums.. Went into a trance & brought a "prophecy" from the "deity" for the initiate... Men were totally emasculated in so many ways... Men had never been respected, but lived by superstition & fear.. Men had not learnt to "cover" women spiritually.
There was no concept of husbands, fathers... The Father-heart of God, in their culture....
So Paul had to start by silencing & greatly humbling the wonen, in a spiritual/ church meeting context... To re-teach them what is Biblically a man & a woman...
Never take a text out of its iriginal context!!!!
Paul is addressing the people of Corinth, not you! We have to learn from that context, & what Paul was aiming at achieving in the conduct of men & women...
Corinth, not Cirinth.
Sorry 4 many typos.. Have disability affecting my arms. Hope this history is helpful.
So good!
I like this it just exposes us as what we really believe
I very much appreciate this teaching. How wonderful to hear q man of God saying to put on the Hebrew mindset! It is all connected! So beautiful and amazing. Bringing the mind and body together, the 'old' testament and the 'new' testament. It is the WHOLE testament! Many blessings upon you and your family.
His grace is sufficient for us, dear friend in Christ, what does our Lord have to do for the anger of the Lamb to begin?
Beautiful beautiful beautiful
Excellent brother!!
The joy of being able to do that (heal the Mexican man). Torbyn don't feel bad. Most people, including me, lead fairly boring lives and dream of one day doing the things you have already done so far.
AMEN!! PRAISE GOD!! ❤️👑🕊️☝🏻
This is a great teaching.
David Pawson did a teaching called "De-Greecing the Church " which i think taught similar.
I would be careful with David due to some false teachings on marriage and divorce.
Believe it also says that meditating on the scriptures will cleanse us from sin. I forget where the verse is or how it goes...
We do need to understand the importance of Jewish culture and language. Just on the subject of a shepherd and the sheep . It teaches us so much about God's love for us
5:15 amen brother! Amen!
Love you Torben, hope to meet you one day
His grace is sufficient for us, dear friend in Christ, what does our Lord have to do for the anger of the Lamb to begin?
This is interesting. Before I was a Chritian, one of tge thing I used to say was that Christians would act differently if they believed what they says they do.
Thanks m'y God
Thanks Torben
The Word of God is true
Amazing teaching. On a sidenote: did you whiten your teeth Torben? 😊😎
Blessings
No. I got sun here in Mexico. Have not got that for a very long time. First in jail and then winter in Europe
@@TheLastReformation - like it, youve got the sun to whiten your teeth.. ..there are some perks then... LOL !!
Thank you Torben.
Well said. Half of christians fulfill christian duties to feel closer to God but the heart is in the wrong place that why many people are walking in the wrong calling. Man sees the outside but God sees what’s hidden inside. That’s why Jesus said that many people clean the outside of the cup but the inside is dirty, He wants us to clean the inside and by default the outside will be clean. Our motives, intentions, are they pure? Or is it just a religious selfish gain type a thing I think about this all the time when it comes to Godly things. All that to say that when I meditate the word I put it into action when the time comes. From what I’ve learned God is all about timing when the time is right it’s action time.
I've been waiting for this moment.
Sometimes Jesus take us out for a while out of the world so we can focus more into deeper of His Word and to see more as in a telescope.
Thsnk you Jesus.

@@YESHUAISLORD22 Sorry we have to write this way. Hope you know why. The Lord's grace is sufficient for us, dear friend in Christ, what does our Lord have to open for the anger of the Lamb to begin in the last book of the Bible? Hope you can understand now dear friend.
@@gracefreshfoodsministries.9634 Im still lost, what is it?
@@YESHUAISLORD22 Dear friend, let us discuss one - by - one please. This may sound obvious, but please answer one - by - one so that we can understand each other. 1) Which is the last book of the Bible?
God's Word says let your yes be yes and your no be no. // Belief bares fruit. The action does not save -- but if you do not act on what you believe, then you do not truly believe what you are claiming you do. Sometimes we lie to ourselves. Sometimes we do not see it. Whatever the root, look for fruit and course correct if you need to!!
..i like that. this expresses that well... although Ive also come to believe that as the word for 'trust' & 'believe' is pisteou in the Greek which in the main, means 'to trust'. So we trust Jesus by believing that he paid the price for our sin on the cross and then also showing that we trust Him by doing what He says...
Is that works through the back door !! 🙂 it squares the circle for me..
the amplified bible brings this out well
John 3:16 16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes (trusts in, clings to, relies on) in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
By the way i would like to meet you in Mexico. I speak Spanish and feel an attraction to South America. I'm a bible school graduate, Rhema type college.
I love you Torben brother in Christ
What you do and what you have done defines who you are.
Hallelujah!
wonderful Bless you
John 3:6 KJVS - That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit
Yes, amen to this teaching! The Church has been invaded by Greco-Roman Philosophy and Paganism. The Apostles Teaching, particularly Paul's, warns us against this time and time again. That's why there's no theological division between Romans and James, or should I say Jacob (because the Church titled his Epistles with the Greek version of name). Yes, it's what we do that proves our faith. The Reformation is guilty of defining actions of Faith as works and made obedience a dirty word. We don't perform works to earn our salvation, but perform our works because of our salvation. This is where the term "faith alone" is theologically incorrect. In Christ Jesus alone, yes, but by faith and works in harmony in proving our faith. In Judaism, they perform the 613 laws of the Torah, but they have no way of defeating the law of Sin and Death (This is what Paul was debating in Romans). That's why the shed blood of Christ Jesus, His death, and resurrection are so powerful because we have to spiritually and physically die with Him and rise with Him in Baptism. That action in faith with repentance is being born again, not saying a prayer. When the Jews have the Passover, they are remembering and celebrating what took place in Egypt and at the Red Sea, and when we take the bread and drink the cup, we are remembering and celebrating what Jesus did on the Cross and what we do when we are baptised into Jesus Christ. It all makes sense, and it feels like it's taken all my life to come to this place. This teaching is so liberating and amazing. Church tradition doesn't save us, but obedience to the commandments of Jesus Christ and the Apostles' teaching proves our Salvation in Him. Amen!!! 🙏
You are correct because that is what the Bible teaches, disobedience to God's word has bad consequences like deception and false hood.
You are right to say: we need to believe and practice what we belief. Jesus was angry at the Pharisees. Why? Because they said they believe but they didn’t practice what they believed and Jesus call them hypocrites. So, the fact to believe in the head and not practice was not a Greek mindset but also a Jewish mindset.
You quoted the letter from James: James wrote to the Jews who believe in Jesus and they also said they believe but they didn’t do what they said. So, we see also here that every has a propension to do it so.
You are right to put the emphasis on it so that they may obey to the Lord and be blessed. Thank you for the message.

Very good
You are a very good teacher,I will say 🌹🌿You have amazing good eye contact that does a lot,but Om wondering about my own baptism. I was baptism as a baby,isnt that enough? I lives as a Christian and Im born again,but I have no speaking in tounges. I wants that,but Paulus says that not everyone speaks in tounges. Is my baptism as a baby not enough?
Thanks. No. Babies can not get baptized… try to see the teaching link in the text to this video
Babies can get circumcised but they can’t get baptized?
The Orthodox Church already teaches baptism is part of salvation. I don’t think we need to reinvent the wheel, which is why I will be joining the Lord’s brothers as soon as I can, Lord willing.
Can babies say yes or no to the decisions that are given to them? @@PizzaDisguise
@@lycorispeony1274 Good afternoon! The new covenant, and covenants in general, aren't only about what you as an individual will or decide. The only human that agreed for Jesus to be born as the Savior and Lord of the world was Mary. Her submission to God's will affects you whether you want her Son to rule over you or not. The same with Adam; his choice to break the word given to him caused all of his offspring to suffer when God righteously cursed him as He said He would.
If you're a parent: did you have your children listen to false teachers as well as the righteous, or did you choose for them?
God, as a loving and wise Father, makes many good decisions for us, as He wills, while still allowing us to be tested throughout our lives. At some point, the faith of our parents must become our own.
@@PizzaDisguiseit was not all babies but all male babies. The circumsition was a covenant made with one people that He will be their God. There was no forgivness of sins in it. The new covenant is individual because it includid forgivness of sins after a personal choice of faith and repentance, as judgement is individual. I live in a orthodox country and i see first hand the devastating effect that baby baptism has. It is a sinful nation that brags to be Christian. Children of believers should be trained up in the teachings of the Lord, but than they must choose whom they serve.
Repentance = Turning away from sin = Stop breaking God's commandments and begin to obey them = which is an outcome of being born again = Hebrew mindset
yes, I agree.... even Jesus told the disciples to "go and preach the gospel, baptizing them".
Jesus saw it together Matthew 28:19, Peter & the boys saw it together in Acts 2:38, Acts 10 Peter preach to Cornelius and baptized them, Philip in Acts 8:26-40 preached gospel and baptized Eunuch right there when they saw water.
Jesus in Mark 16:16 he that believes & is baptized shall be saved.
1 John 5:8 The Spirit, The Water & The Blood are in an agreement together.
Galatians 5:17-18 KJVS - the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Davis Pawson does a great teaching on this. He even wrote a book on it. It's called degreasing the church

Read the book “the spiritual man” by watchman nee

We are told to lean not on our own understanding but to acknowledge Him in all our ways this is the only way to stay free from legalism . Life in the spirit is free from the carnal mind it’s an enemy to the realm of the spirit

Hello Torben, I need your advice. I have been a Christian for about 13 years. Every once in a while I have felt tormented during worship. This has been going on for the whole 13 years. I think I have company. I can't get anyone who can help me. Any advice?
I'm also experiencing tormenting thoughts about dying and going to hell, fear and anxiety, I don't even feel like myself to smile or laugh much because of these thoughts and I can't sleep sometimes as well
@sayvionpersad6338 how long have you had them when did they start? I have had a lot of torment I noticed since recovering from covid. It made my mental status a lot worse.
@@HilaryMurray-cp6ys Been experiencing it since I came to a realization of a great amount of things in my life; I don't even know if I received the holy spirit to be a child of God, I hadn't been born again,I wasn't living the Christian life of the book of acts, I can die at anytime, Jesus is coming back soon, all these thoughts play through my mind everyday and even have me in fear sometimes to go to sleep, it recently started about last week
YOu can start resisting the devil by fasting and praying and commending the demons to comeout in the name of Jesus. Many times it is sin that opened the door. Ask the Lord to show you how they came in so you can repent and break any agreement. If all this gives no result, pray that the Lord will show you a believer with authority to cast them out.
Muito bom😊
Tell me one legit reason, why we need to listen to Paul
Yes exactly, the greeks had absolutely no problem to think about godmen or all kinds of higher or lower dieties. The hebrews, in stark contrast, believed in ONE GOD AS ONE PERSON, only. Human elohim, loke Moses was called elohim, only with respect to human representatives of God, like the rebellion or Korach against Moses was treated by God as if Korach was rebelling against God himself because Moses was Goda anointed one. Now, we have another anointed one: The man Jesus Christ, who is made by God king and lord of all. In everything is he subordinate to God but exalted above everything else.
His grace is sufficient for us, dear friend in Christ, what does our Lord have to do for the anger of the Lamb to begin?
Dear Torben. I have followed you for a time. Devastated when they put you in jail. Wept and wept when you came out of prison and reunited with your beautiful family. Then, you gave all thanks to the Lord your Maker. Now, He is turning you to Zion.He is the Holy One of Israel, grafting you completely into the Cultivated Tree. The Lord bless you and keep you as He leads you. He is worthy. He is Holy🌻🙏🕊
Thanks 🙏
Hey Torben i was wondering if you could do a teaching on head coverings. I have been going back and forth on it. I really do see it in the bible. And even pawson was for head coverings. Could you do a teaching on why TLR is not for head coverings biblically when David Pawson is for it? I will link the teaching here around 20 minutes. ruclips.net/video/I4AR_u99xBc/видео.htmlsi=f-f4uizEgBdRiuUD&t=1266
I am also interested in your stance on divorce and remarriage. Specifically if someone was married before they came to christ and then married a christan after they were baptized. Should they divorce?

The Gnostics (not all Greek thought is Gnostic) believed that material world could not have anything to do with our salvation and so they rejected the idea that Jesus had a body was made of material from our world. Consequently, Gnostic thinking would also reject water baptism provides salvation because water is part of this world.
The Gnostics also rejected the Body and Blood in communion for a similar reason.
this is a satanic lie to distract a person from salvation and go to hell.
Luke 24:39 KJV
[39] Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
Mark 16:16 KJV
[16] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Boy, brother how far can you get in Ezekiel with just a Hebrew perspective? Won't that break somewhere in Ezekiel? In Revelation there are souls under the alter. You cannot have a concept of a glorified body as a Hebrew concept, can you?
Our Bibles are written in Greek. What should we read if we can’t read Hebrew?
The spirit and soul are different things
Somewhat, yes, but not really. The bible says that God breathed spirit into the body and it became a living soul. The hebrew word "nephesh" simply means "a living being" which is exactly what a human is. So the soul (remeber: it simply means a living being) is the whole rather than a part of the human. There is no soul without spirit. There is also no soul without the body.
His grace is sufficient for us, dear friend in Christ, what does our Lord have to do for the anger of the Lamb to begin?
...and vines greek dictionary shows that a big part of the meaning of faith (pisteou) is trust.. and the amplified bible brings that out.. I show i trust Jesus by believing he paid the price for my sin and by doing what He says...
John 3:16 16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes (trusts in, clings to, relies on) him shall not perish but have eternal life.
..and it is in the present continous tense, the person that goes on believing/trusting (Unlocking the bible, david pawson p1229).
Heb 3:18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not TO THOSE WHO DISOBEYED? 19. So we see that they were not able to enter, BECAUSE OF THEIR UNBELIEF.
Disobedience and unbelief here are interchanged. They did not know the Lord enough, (due to their disobedience), to trust Him..
His grace is sufficient for us, dear friend in Christ, what does our Lord have to do for the anger of the Lamb to begin?
Grace and peace man of God. I have to disagree with your explanation of the mind and flesh. I agree with your break down of beliefs. Further study 1 Thes 5:23 that we are composed of three parts, (body:spirit:soul). Read the spiritual man by Watchmen Nee, not that his book has final authority or ultimate revelation. Be led by Holy Spirit as you always are.
3:02 what you speak about is Luthers reformation. ”Thoughts is what counts and not what you do” (Luther) a split mind, you can’t differ what you think and what you do, it’ll lead to insanity.
Socrates ”one who knows what’s right will do what’s right”
What you do on a daily bases is what you become!
Why did the thief next to Jesus still go to heaven but couldn’t get baptized?
there's always one
You can still go to heaven without being baptized.
Hi George!! I’ve studied this question alot because I have been asked a lot . There’s 2 things for me that give me a lot of understanding.
Before Jesus died and resurrected people could not be baptized (into Christs death and resurrection (Roman’s 6)) nor could they receive the Holy Spirit because Jesus promised in John that the spirit (the helper) would be sent after He ascended back to the Father. So the man on the cross with Jesus could not be baptized (because He hadn’t died and resurrected yet) nor receive the spirit because the spirit had not been sent yet to live inside the disciples (not until acts 2, after Jesus resurrected)
ALSO something very interesting, if you think about how the thief died, he literally died with Christ. (Which is the purpose of our baptism).
Yes. And Abraham had many wives….
Obey Jesus now. The robber was before the cross
there is no evidence that he was not baptized. maybe he had time before that to be baptized by the apostles. he professed his faith on the cross. died with an effusion of blood.
There is no hebrew or greek... there is true way of understanding or false. Truth is Truth.
Glory to the Father and Son and Holy Spirit.
Agreed faith without works is dead. Also Greek mindset equals trinity confusion = 3 who's 1 what. Hebrew mindset equals clarity and truth= John 17:3 ESV
[3] And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
The Greek pagan mindset has corrupted the identity of the 1 true God and his Messiah our Lord and Savior, look into it
His grace is sufficient for us, dear friend in Christ, what does our Lord have to do for the anger of the Lamb to begin?
@DennisBonich Give glory to the Lord dear friend in Christ. Will we be raptured before or after the revealing of the son of perdition?
@DennisBonich I understand what your saying, I was on your side of the fence for more than 25 years, being mislead by popular preachers and popular mainstream theology. You sadly read into the scriptures your preconceived beliefs. No Apostle, nor the Messiah ever used the following terms or phrases to describe God or his Son. / second person of the trinity, incarnation, hypostatic union, God man, God the son, God the holy spirit, 3 in 1, triune God, double nature, etc etc. Yeshua our Master was clear in his teaching
John 17:3 ESV
[3] And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
By the way not doubting your salvation experience, God bless
