Thank you for all of you who care enough to comment and challenge me in love. I really like challenging my own theology and found this to be really fun video to film. I pray it equally challenged you and encouraged you in your own faith walk and pursuit of Biblical truth!
I KNOW WHERE TO COME WITH QUESTIONS.
YOU AND MY PASTOR.
THANKS FOR BOOT CAMP.
WAITING FOR MORE
FOLLOWING YOUR BONUS CLASS ON YOU TUBE. ON JOHN.
Hi Faith, I am german (so sorry about my english) and follow you about two month. I love the bible it is one of the three things I will take with me on an desert island in spite of all I often struggle to read regularly. Even finding a way to studdy is very hard for me. I am glad finding you. You are inspiring me a lot though I can not use your tips for commentarries, etc. Sometimes I don't agree with you, but it is okay. You said you are human, those are my sentiments too. And christan traditions and habits in europe/germany especially in bavarian are very different to american. I consider Paul: Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. (1Thes 5,21). So keep it up in the name of the Lord. I send you blessings!
And this is why I continue to follow you! You break things down so perfectly! It doesn't matter how clear you are and how perfectly you explain things, people are STILL not going to get it and they'll STILL hear what they want to hear. Keep doing what God has called you to do. Those with ears to hear, will hear. ❤️❤️
Thank you, Faith, for helping us to understand for providing a safe place to help us to study, and understand God’s word. You have really helped me to start getting in depth with my Bible, and to really start to understand the Bible if you see this comment, I would really appreciate some prayers for a friend I have she is an atheist, and I am slowly starting to share the Lord with her. God bless!
Faith, I watch you because of your passion for the Lord and Scripture. I have ADHD so the things you do, the way you explain things is very relatable for me, and, I am a knowledge hoarder - all my life I have wanted to know more about everything and subsequently have spent much of my life chasing squirrels or down rabbit holes. In the short amount of time in each clip you can’t go super deep, it’s literally like someone diving into a pool and getting out again, yet every time I get something out of it. Thank you for being faithful to God’s Word. I like videos that do compare what people are saying “God says” versus what the Bible actually says on any particular topic eg Fighting for the Faith.
I recently discovered your channel and God has used your videos to reignite a passion for Scripture. This has been an answer to my prayers as I have pleaded that God would change my heart so that I hunger for His Word.
I am a Bible College graduate yet I still feel intimidated when it comes to studying the Bible. Because of my education I have been paralyzed with fear that I am going to misinterpret and misuse scripture. Part of that is because I let this fear get in the way during my education and I didn’t practice the skills I was learning enough to take those skills with me.
I now realize that the only way I will get better at studying the Bible is by consistently implementing these skills and learning from the mistakes I make along the way.
All this to say thank you for your videos. God is using your channel in great ways. Praise the Lord that your efforts are not in vain! He is at work in you and through you because he is faithful.
Thank you, sister!! I just found you 2 days ago and i am NERDDDING OUTTTT!! Make ALL the content! Make all sorts and all types! I love it!! I am learning So. Much. about the Lord! Thanks to you, i am falling in love with the Lord with each video (& TikTok) I watch!
Your videos are so refreshing! Thank you. I liked how you used the legos to demonstate grace and works. I also really liked how you responded to "men wrote the Bible."
Thank you Faith, you are always faithful to the WORD.
You can't please everyone.
Great video, Faith... and I especially loved your view of faith and works! You're so expressive, and I know you're helping many people! Thank you! We never know how something we do or say may be just what someone really needed to see and hear. God works in our lives to accomplish His will. All of your topics were spot on tonight! God Bless!
You are awesome. God has given you a true gift. The spirit shines through you. Bless you.
Awe, well praise the Lord! Thank you!
You know that your videos can be longer, right? Why must they end??? 🤣❤
Wow! You just made my day! What a compliment!
I would love to see some longer videos!!
Completely agree!!!
Yeeeees! 30 minutes minimum lolol. Or 2 hours ❤ I'd listen.
AMEN!
I love your channel and I’m so happy you’re here ♥️ God bless you and your family.
Thank you for your honesty and openness! I think it is important for us all to remember that 1 person is never going to have an all encompassing answer for any topic, only God can do that.
You are the reason I started digging deeper and trying harder to understand.
Praise the Lord!
Thank You Faith for sharing your journey in your Christian walk with Christ with us. I believe you are fulfilling your calling in teaching by sharing your talents with us. Know that you are building up others in Christ. Be encouraged. Keep it up. I love your enthusiasm for the LORD! Blessings to you and your beautiful family. 🙏❤️
You just gave me so much encouragement! Praise the Lord!
You are the first Christ-tuber I found here, you are my favorite...love, love, love your videos!🥰🥰🥰
Wow, thank you!
Amen thank you for explaining the works and faith works together. Praying 🙏
Criticism is one evidence of living a righteous life. We are not to "marvel" when the world hates us for radiating with the light, life and truth of God. It's going to happen at some point. But the softest pillow int the world is a clean conscience, and there's no greater joy than serving the most important person in the world, God Almighty.
Loved loved LOVED your description of faith and works. Thanks.
Yes we need to speak to truth no matter what. Praying 🙏
I'm so grateful that Ruslan introduced me to your content. I'm not looking for something less, plus I can confidently recommend you to the females in my life.
Hi! I love your responses! I, too, hope that you will be on here a long time!!
I love............love.......love....love your videos you are truly inspiration ...you truly bring the word in a way that can be understood .....thank you Lord!!!
I agree with everything you said! These topics are so necessary! There is so much false doctrine and false teaching going on and needs to be discussed with scripture behind it. I love your boldness and your fun personality. Keep doing what you're called to. It's needed!💐
I love your channel and you and your family, you are such an inspiration to me and I love all your videos I need to watch at least one of your videos every day normally a few each day, I only became a believer recently and though you I have such a better understanding of God word, and I can’t thank you enough for helping me, xxx
I’m so glad I could be an encouragement! Praise the Lord!
your videos are great. found you couple months ago. Love your enthusiasm.
Love your content. Side note, saw the Dake in the background. I have 4. 2 are my grandfathers that he preached with when he was alive. Love ‘em
Yet again Faith, you shot this out of the ball park! Perfect! Amen!
So I "deconstructed" about 9 years ago. 3 years ago through tragic events I deeply realized my need for Jesus. As you can see this was in the middle of covid, and here in Canada that meant no church. But in a way that was a blessing because I spent a year just in the Word, not really listening to anyone but God. Then I needed some answers to some questions that had been my downfall from the beginning, so I listened to people like Mike Winger. Your name also came up at the time, and to be honest, I wasn't really blessed by the video's that called out other believers for differences in theology. BUT that said, recently your videos came up again. I am so very encouraged by most of your videos, I needed to be reminded that there are others out there who LOVE the WORD of God. I am so so thankful to God that your videos came across my path again!
I enjoy watching your videos they are so fruitful and help me on my walk by giving me another point of view on scripture because everyone gets something personally out of the scripture
Always praying for you. You have been a great blessing to me. The Lord is with you my friend. JOSHUA 1:9❤
Hi, Faith! I love your videos so much. I'm looking forward to watching your John 1 video, but I'm working on my own study of John 1:1-5 and want to finish that first hahaha. I haven't watched many of your study videos, so it should be exciting.
3:30 Yes! You explained this so well 🙌❤
Faith... You keep doing what You are doing... because CLEARLY you are opening many eyes, minds and hearts...💖
Another great video Faith. Thank you so much for your both knowledge of scripture and your passion in explaining it. I find it uplifting. There will always be negative people and I guess it must be hard to read the comments sometimes. Thank you for staying faithful and loving to God and also fellow believers.
Thank you!
I love your videos! Keep up the good work!
4:00 'who else is going to record the bible? Wolves?' I am using this...
Nicely done, Faith!
Great video. Your heart responding to criticism is beautiful. I also love that when you disagree and are strong in your conviction that you stand on that. I think that is what makes us the body. We don't all have to agree on every single thing to BE the body.
In essentials UNITY
In non-essentials LIBERTY
And in all things CHARITY
Blessings to you In Christ 🫶,
Becca
Well said!
Your videos had me diving deeper to understand God’s word. Yes there are definitely times I disagree with you or go “hmmm I’m not sure about that” so I go to the Bible and resources for more information. Your videos encouraged me so much I am starting Bible college next year part time while finishing my science teaching degree - it’ll be by God’s grace that I manage both lol
Thanks for sharing!
Wow I love that explanation about faith plus works. I’ve never thought Paul and James disagreed w each other. It shows that a lot of Christians read the Bible w/o understanding. Thank u for the explanation!
May God extend your boundaries and borders in this time and season. Love from PNG
Ignore the negative comments. I've always found your videos straightforward, Biblical, fair, balanced with truth statements when there needs to be judgement. And non judgemental where there is no need for.
I cannot fault your theology or presentation.
I tk God for putting you on my feed when I did not know how to use my bible. I adore you and my God continue to use you to help many. you rock.
Welcome to the family! Praise the Lord!
You responded real well and truthfully to these comments. I think a lot of these comments come from those who may not understand the word of God, and that last one is kind of odd what they said, but I agree and I tell people that when we speak on a sin someone is committing, we must do it in love and truth and not please anyone but seek the truth of God. Even when you speak in love people will get angry and I see many in comments in other videos who say “we’re not all cringe and modern evangelical” I explained to them that being evangelical is a part of being a true disciple and that we shouldn’t seek to be conformed by the world by keeping quiet about Jesus and not letting His grace transform us. We should speaking about Jesus and living for Jesus no matter what someone says. God bless you sister and I love you and I’ve learned a lot.
That's Key. You are teaching Christians already who believe in the faith of Jesus. I believe it's important Teachers say once or have it somewhere group your teaching, the audience you are speaking to. I enjoy your Teachings and continue to help us think deeper from your point of view and our own research Biblically. Sometimes I watch a lot of Christian RUclipsrs and doing my own thing Biblically but I feel a comfort having ya on my screen to keep me company and I stop the video to Read My Bible, Research, Journal etc it works for me but it isn't always my Quiet times I shut off TV but sometimes it's on if my study is longer or however I'm led in that day.
There is a righteous judgment that christian are said to do so keep going with your calling i just found you and love you. I am loving your channel so much , and it's better to be confident in christ than miserable so it goes to show god is the best at making us happy amen
Thanks so much; great job! Keep it up!
You are welcome!
Thank you for this video. You know one thing I have struggled with is disagreeing with those I mostly agree with. When I was a kid & teen I believed that if one of my friends & I fought I would cut them off because they really was not my friend. Well now today I know that is wrong thinking. I am learning more & more to keep watching (some) Pastors or Preacher that I really do learn so much from because they are speaking the word correctly. It could just be I don't agree with this one thing or one area, but I don't discount you guys all together. We are all human & we think different, speak different, walk different, talk different so yes there could be so much we agree on yet a few things we don't. Heck I did not think I would agree with an atheist until I found out some of them fight for pro life rights. How is that for different lol. Thanks Faith for your video.
I found your channel and have enjoyed the Bible studies you have done, but I'm having a hard time finding them. I do watch your other videos on Christian culture and things like that, but I'm really inspired by your Bible journaling and study videos. I would love to see more. I have learned some of your tips and tricks for Bible studying, but since I have been doing this for about a week, I still feel like I need more instruction before I'm comfortable with my own understanding of the Bible without needing to check myself and make sure I'm interpreting the Bible correctly. I'm still going through your channel to find your Bible study videos so hopefully there's more that I just haven't made it to yet.
Your responses were excellent, Faith! Loved the way you presented, James 2.
Thank you so much!
I hope this will help both of my sisters.
The letter of James is not written to the Church.
*Paul says that man is justified by faith only, without works= Rom 4:1-6/Rom 11:6/Tit 3:5-7/Eph 2:8,9/Act 13:39
*James says that man is justified by works and faith=Jas 2:24
*in Jas 2:21-23 James is quoting from Gen 22:1-18
*in Rom 4:3 Paul is quoting from Gen 15:4-6
Both speakers are addressing two different groups of people. Paul is addressing the church and James is addressing the 12 tribes of Israel as in Jas 1:1.
Therefore there is no contradiction to what they both say. But if we say that they are both addressing the church, there is a contradiction. And we are not rightly dividing the word of God, as in 2Tim 2:15 King James bible.
*James says, ask if you lack wisdom Jas 1:5
But
Paul says, Christ Jesus became for us wisdom 1Cor 1:30, we don't have to ask for wisdom, we have wisdom in the new man.
*James asks a question in Jas 2:14 , James says = (if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?), No it can not. Future Israel believers need works and faith to be saved. A lot of churches read pass this question and do not answer it. Future Israel believers must endure unto the end to be saved = Mat 10:22 / Mat 24:13
In James 4:4, James calls Israel Adulterers.

😂 “they can go find less” 😂 love it!
I’m in a different religion than you but I still love your videos! Our theology very closely aligns. There are a few things that are different but I love hearing what you say about the bible.
I really enjoy your videos. I have binged watched several. I think you have a true passion for God. I have created a channel to post videos of my own. I have not posted any yet. I have been through a journey of health issues and the big Cancer one. I plan on sharing my story and testimonies. You have also helped me with dive more into my bible reading and study. I thank you for that! I'm trying to best to live for God and his plan for me. Please keep making videos there are some of us who really enjoy them.
That first one reminds me of Matthew 5 and how God sends rain to the just and unjust. Nice response. The nature/art thing was a big part of what got me. Guess we all need to be reached differently. Maybe his thing is kindness in a dire time or major forgiveness vs the creation element.
Faith, love your videos. Recently discovered you. Could you please make a video on what order to deep study the Bible? 😊
Silence is the kindest option if the only alternative was to further alienate and condemn a literal CHILD who is going through a vulnerable moment. I just can’t co-sign that that’s the only alternative though. Especially when it involves a child!
Love love love your videos, your big crazy hair and earrings
I’ve more recently come back to belief in God in the faith sense, like having true faith in God. Had a patchy period where I still kept trying to come back around. During the last month I’ve gone back to church every week, trying out different ones. Think I’ve settled on the place I used to go. Reading the bible and maybe eventually will get back into praying. ❤
Thanks for sharing!
hello! just found you and wanted to say how grateful I am for your inspiring content. I started going to small group recently for the first time in my life and was told that yoga was a sin. I've been yoga-ing for years! so I felt literally sick to myself stomach hearing this for the first time. Could you provide your insight when it comes to yoga? Obviously I'm not om-ing to the sun gods or whatever they do but I follow all the actual stretches and poses and always thank God when they end w a namaste. Thank you for providing your knowledge and wisdom about this confusing subject!
Love the video, I'm just curious because I'm a professor of theology, where are you attending Seminary? I went to Moody for my MDiv and the University of Edinburgh for my ThD in OT Textual Critical (Remote). Keep us the great work.

@@ginacox9652 my phone changed it to that but yeah that’s what I meant
Hi Faith! First off, I love your videos and am very grateful for the biblical content you create and speak on! :) I have been following you for a year now, since I first began studying the Bible, and have greatly admired your teachings and the grace you have shown others through your videos :) Been pondering something for a while now... and have been meaning to reach out and ask your advice on the concept. To provide some background, my boyfriend is in Bible school to be a pastor, I myself am an artist starting a small art business, and we each desire to get engaged/married soon. With both of our career paths being those that do not make much income... we are concerned about being financially secure together in our future. My job could potentially bring in more income than his (in the future when we are married), however, we both believe in a more complementarianism point-of-view for roles where the man is the main provider and leader for the family and the woman is the helper and homebuilder. Would the effects of my job bringing in more money for our family tie into how I would be doing the wife's part as "helper" (helping financially), or would me making more money be disobeying God's description of the husband as the provider? What is your theological take on women in their jobs making more money than their husbands in their jobs? Hope this all makes sense. Thank you, Victoria
Victoria, not at all! I think today in our western mindset we tend to think about everything financially, but it’s a LOT more of a heart state!
Love your earrings...where do you get them
Thank you for your videos I do enjoy them and well you are doing Gods will because if you were not the devil would leave you alone. Satan loves to stir things up as he is the father of lies. God bless you and your family
I am young but a smidge too old for tick toc. Had an adolescent patient the other day in clinic. She believes in "God" and...crystals, astrology etc. She said she followed some Christians on tick tock. Due to severe child hood abuse she is afraid of church. If you could list your tick tock channel and other trustworthy tockers I would dearly love a quality resource to share with young people like her needing so much knowledge, direction, truth, healing, and salvation.
And THANK YOU for being on social media!!! The gospel is so desperately needed everywhere.
That was brilliant, with the blocks. Great way to show how works and faith work together.
I want to know, as a Bible believer, will you celebrate Christmas? I don't see anything Biblically backing celebrating Christmas. In fact, it seems to say to *not* celebrate it. What are your thoughts?
Thank you, Faith! You've been amazing at disciplining me ♥️
I celebrate the incarnation of Jesus Christ in ways that look like the worldly Christmas holiday but reclaiming them to be about ADVENT! I actually posting an advent Bible study each day of Dec 1st through the 25th this year so keep an eye out to see how we handle Christmas.
The thing is that there are so many (that I have argued with in comments sections of Christian videos) that think that just believing equals faith, so they can live however they want to.
That's a good point. If I say, "I'm just going to keep on sinning because God will keep forgiving me" that's not how Christians are supposed to live. We need to be transformed by Christ.
Hey sister, I just want you to know I am so glad I came across you. For the past 11 years as a Christisn the struggle to read the bible has been so difficult (in my late 20s now). I've never ever liked reading growing and the adults, especially teachers, didn't really help with that - making reading a chore but than a joy. Also having ADHD has made it hard coz my hyperactive mind has a will of its own i swear haha. So much so I've never read a full book before in my life besides the bible. However, even with the bible, it has been fragmented reading over a long period of time. You get the jist of the matter but I know I am by no means a special case.
I have been praying for God to give me a better heart to read his word and to not allow distractions, or lies from the enemy to deter me. I once thought my problems were too big to push past but as I've grown in the Lord, I have realised that any issue truly is never too big for Him.
Please keep this up, you are a blessing sister, and for the record you have a lovely heart for the Lord, lovely hair, and a wonderful confidence. That confidence in and of itself is a real testimony of who God is. The devil hates that - it's a threat to Him. All I say to that is...GOOD! haha. May God continue to use you and grow you sister, bless you 🙂
Be careful to limit screen time as I have found that worsens my ability to read as well.
@@marystout1606 yeah it's hard but it has been something I've been trying to work on. Managed to chuck my computer and my games though. That's a good start I think 🙂
A strand of three is not easily broken.
I agree I want more bible study videos like your first bible study with me. It had notes of how to study along the way. I need helps! Like is it time for a word study how do I do it how do I search a topic like salvation maybe a journal video saying hey you can do soap and write letters to jesus...and other stuff that I don't know. I just want to know God like KNOW God....and not just knowledge of God from the bible. Hope that made sense. Keep being awesome!
Hi Faith! I just want to say I love you so much. I personally think your videos are always dead on and it is pretty clear that you have a calling on your life. There are always going to be a few that don't agree with what we say and we know that God brings the push back to teach us and help us grow. You handle the criticism with so much grace!
Also faith I was wondering did you get my email? I hope you don't feel like I'm expecting you to respond bc I'm absolutely not. I just want to make sure you got it!
Can u explain what works are? I'm disabled and have a cousin who believes in serve serve serve and it makes me feel like I'll never measure up.
Sounds like perhaps a "martha" situation. Good works are essential and God gifted us each with different abilities. James 2 defines how works fit with faith and describes them as being fruitful with faith. 2 Peter 1:5-8 expounds on these works and states if we do these things we are not untruthful. Prayers on your journey to learn from scripture exactly what works are clearly defined and how you can best serve God! Whether we eat or drink or whatever we do, may we do it all to God's glory as in 1 Corinthians 10:31. ❤
As a gay progressive Christian that fully affirms LGBTQIA+ people (as does my local church and my denomination as a whole), I really appreciate your take. Not everyone in my denomination agrees with our stance, but what I see overwhelmingly is what you describe. "I disagree with you, but that doesn't change my love, or God's love, for you." I was raised in a very hateful church, they're mean and intentionally hurtful. That's what a lot of people have experienced and I think we need more GRACE for each other than that. We can disagree and still acknowledge the Image of God in one another, that we are baptized into Christ and members of one body. God is bigger than our disagreements. I won't be changing my mind any time soon, and that might be true for you too, but we are still siblings in Christ and made in the Divine Image. If we can't love our own, how on earth are we supposed to show God's love to everyone else?
I was researching on bibles and ran across your vlog on best bible version. Though in the end you never singled out a best one, I was captivated by your enthusiasm and excitement directing everyone to just read His Word. That is evangelism at its greatest. I then was interested in how and what you might present on other topics. Scrolling through your playlist, I was caught on the one about discerning false teachers. That was very enlightening, though you mentioned in your message that how a teacher should use scripture to to let the Word be the teacher, I was a little disappointed that you didn't use more references in scripture. There are so many wonderful teachings in the Word on how to discern truth from false teachings. Maybe you could do a 2.0 version of that vlog to go more in depth on this message. Please don't take this comment as a criticism, I would prefer you take it as praise for a job well done, and a hope that you could bring more of the Word to light on this subject. Your style of presenting will (and I am sure does) resonate with a youthful audience. Kudos to you for that, In today's world it is important to find a way to reach that group, and I think you are. To us older folks, though we may have already been presented on this topic, a deeper dive into it would only help to strengthen or refresh our convictions.
Now that I have totally gotten off base to why I wanted to leave a comment in the first place.
You may have already addressed this, but I have not seen it yet. What is your take on the Sabbath as mentioned in the 4th Commandment?
Thank you for that great criticism! I would love to remake that video! I also don't think I have ever done a video Bible study on the Sabbath but, I love that idea! Thanks for the suggestion!
Not sure if you have done anything on Hebrews 6:4-6 but I am curious what your take on it is.
Hi Faith, I am struggling to believe God’s word is true. I’ve been leaning in on God so much. Praying multiple time a day, not missing a day of church, praying on the full armor of God, trusting in Him and His word for healing of my mind. I struggle with OCD and I’m not finding that peace that surpasses all understanding that He promised us. I’m wondering if I’m a fool to have believed and clung onto that scripture for so long when I have not known it to be true. I present my requests/anxieties in prayer with thanksgiving, but I have not gotten long lasting peace. What am I missing?
I think a lot of people have the idea that your page is you teaching theological subjects, but you make it very clear time and time again that your page is to encourage (by also teaching) people how to study the word of God for themselves. Which ironically is far better than just sitting down and watching a preacher preach on you tube. Get to church or go open your bible and read it yourself; and let this channel guide you in your lifelong pursuit of getting to know God more through his breath-inspired words.
I loved this video but I have to say....I'm glad you said you were human at the end. The woman whose daughter came out and was upset no said anything at church....I don't think she wanted her daughter confronted. I saw a heartbroken mom that NO ONE reached out to her. Our kids freaking break our hearts. I know mine have. I have sobbed on the floor over my kids to the Lord. I feel like no one comforted the MOM! Not even you. You can't look at all the hurts in the world and say...hmmm...where can I apply truth here? You have to love first. Jesus said to the woman caught in adultery--where are your accusers? He didn't preach truth to her. When she realized and said they were gone, He tells her go and sin no more. We have to love people first, Like Jesus did.
Truth is going to upset people. We all want to be validated, but I would HATE for me to lose my eternity because someone who knew better did not speak, at least, the seed of truth , to me.
When are you going to update us on your study on women preachers ?
I'm a new to learning about Jesus im so afraid tho if I can not understand what Jesus means when he speaks is that true? If you can not understand the Bible you not going to heaven? I wanna read the Bible but I can not really understand it
I'm still trying to figure out what that last girl's gripe was. I didn't watch that particular video of yours, so maybe that's why. But I think you responded to that appropriately. I wonder what that woman was expecting her church to say? Was she upset about her daughter coming out or she was upset about the church not supporting her? The church can't support sin. But as you said, they can love her. And pray for her. But love isn't a feeling. It's a "doing" that requires truth telling. Hope her mother realizes that.
That’s what Tomas said
Creation was like a talented artist who draws and paints a picture it’s amazing how life of planets orbit around the sun in a certain plan if it proves that a supreme creator god likeness how can a painting be without a artist. A garden was created by a gardener without the gardener also mean be no garden. Without a creator also be no creation.
What I find strange is those who say that man wrote the bible, therefore, they can't believe it, yet they fully believe all that man says on science... thry believe all that computers show which were made by man.
Please look into audience relevance and preterism. Thank you

Imaginations oldest creations, no god outside you always you it is in you. Luke 17:20And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Flesh always look and wait and think of saved when it comes outside is classic mind blindness. Eccl 3:15 repeats to try and wake you by God in you and your name is I AM.
Mans hand wrote it the Holy Spirit inspired it Just like somebody who wrote a poem your hand is writing it but God is inspiring not all poems but most religious ones
I think that one of the errors Christian’s make is that they conflate or mix together salvation and service or salvation and discipleship. Paul is salvation by believing in Jesus. James is as a disciple (which not everyone is) is about service.
There were and are many who believe in Jesus for salvation and not all will be called to service or discipleship. It was like this in Jesus’s day and it still is the same today. Don’t mix together salvation with works or service.
Acts 16 “what must I do to be saved?” “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.”
This is salvation then the Lord promises in Philippians 1:6 that He will complete the work He has begun.
Hopefully this helps. Take care.
If you are "too much" for someone, they can always do the mature thing and not watch your channel?
You need to show how God inspires you to teach something. I know God inspires you to write things down. He does with me and when you speak. I know I hear Jesus in your message’s!
Great Vid, just not sure about how you see James and Paul saying something different. I see them agreeing!
James is talking about our faith before man on the basis of works, not our faith of salvation. All it takes is for one to believe to be saved and Jesus, Paul; and James all agree. We need to remember it is the faith of Christ that is given to those that BELIEVE.
John 6:40
King James Version
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
James 2:23
King James Version
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
Romans 4:2-3
King James Version
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
Galatians 3:22
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
You are rebuking gently and a lot of Christians are not gentle when it comes to a obvious sin.
10:00 Hi Faith. You know, as quiet as it's kept, there are a LOT of believers who have gay kids in their family. Even pastors have gay kids. I think it would be great if churches had support groups of people who believe in Christ but who also have gay kids, gay grandkids, etc. as long as it's someone that they feel close to and love. We need to lean on each other and support each other. Christians kind of suck at that, IMO, after being a believer for 29 years.
Wow! Yeah, why don’t we have more ministries like that?! Maybe Gods 🤔placing a calling on your heart?
When you say "we all know the truth" are you saying that everyone really believes that Christianity is true or just that everyone has a tendency towards god-belief and spirituality of some kind? Because if it's the former, I can tell you with 100% certainty, that is not the case. I genuinely do not believe that Christianity is true.
There is no place for sin, that woman is in sin for accepting her daughter being gay and her daughter is also in sin. churches need to judge this. The Father loves those who keep his laws and commandments. It says this many times. If you are a law breaker you walk a dangerous and wide road. The narrow road is not easy. That is why you should judge it brings people back to the narrow road that is true love to lay down your life for a brother or sister no matter what the cost. You can’t love sin and the Father. You can’t serve two masters
Whoa……I don’t have all the answers, but I think that until we have walked in the same shoes, we need to guard our tongues! God tells us He will judge. Not our job. The narrow road is not easy, that’s true. It is narrow because there is just room for 1 person with God by their side (you know I don’t literally mean only 1 person can walk with God, but faith, and our behavior is just between us & God. If we live Godly lives, our faith is a mirror that an reflect to others ways that God can help them too. (Ps every place of worship in the world is full of sinners. Otherwise they would be empty buildings!) God bless…
Are you being serious when you say you are not familiar with progressive Christianity? Highly recommend Another Gospel?
I watched this today out of curiosity about what people may have said that caught your attention. I jotted down a couple things, as I always do when learning from you & others …mulling over the comments, especially the guy who was pretty critical.(😆🫣I’ve been waiting years & years for a letter from God…..mostly kidding but it would be nice.) Fortunately believers have the Holy Spirit to speak to us. When I think of people I know who could have written that comment, one of my 2023 focus scriptures popped into my brain..Hebrews 11:6……we HAVE to believe God exists, Then 1Cor 2:12-14 is meaningful. Comments about our faith you or I might perceive as mean are coming from one who does not have the to understand. FAITH precedes everything else (the spiritual Faith😉)
Your focus is clearly those who trust God and have admitted their life is nothing without Him…..HOWEVER…..I have found in a ministry that I have (very tiny & meshes with what you do) I have a couple people who are not believers who want to get the mailer on Spiritual Journeys that I produce (100% of participants are people I know well.) I’m not going to change my focus for them but pray they will seek and ask, and someday, will have the essential faith that opens God’s knowledge. When I started my project, Satan did a lot to try to discourage me. He still does. Bet Satan is pretty disgusted with you and all the brave Christians who put themselves out on the Internet. I guess if people are getting a bit riled up, you’re hitting a nerve. Maybe that guy will come around and need you to help him study God’s Word someday! 😆😂 Could totally happen! God bless your words.
