I love and appreciate your videos. I teach with them providing historical background specifically when I reach the NT. I plan to review your channel on my podcast as a resource for Bible teachers and bible study groups . Keep up the great work!
Thank you for taking the time to leave such an encouraging comment. We are so glad to hear that our videos can serve your teaching. May God bless both you and your podcast! 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words. This is exactly why we make them, as we want people's reading and study of the books to be enriched. May God bless your time in 1 & 2 Corinthians! (and don't forget to watch part 2 😊)
Absolutely LOVE your videos!! The context and history with the help of the animations brings the Bible to life especially these treasured epistles!! Thanks SO MUCH!! God bless this ministry in Jesus mighty name!! Amen!! 🥰🙏🏼💕
Tha'ts great to hear. Don't miss our Part 2 video in this series, ruclips.net/video/atVYPxbRR8I/видео.html. Also, we will soon have completed the entire New Testament. After that we will move on to the Old Testament books. Blessings!
Rabbi meaning great one is only to be used for Yeshua . This is a big reason why the leaders who wanted power and praises of men rejected him and killed him.
Thank you for asking this. The apostles likely did not have much material wealth. In 2 Corinthians 11:27 Paul says that he is "hungry and thirsty, often without food, cold and naked." He also touches on this in Philippians 4:11-12. In this Paul, and likely the other apostles imitated Christ who says that he "has nowhere to lay his head" (Matt 8:20). That said, we are not aiming to depict them in a way that suggests complete poverty, but they were not pursuing the wealth and status like the Sophists and the so-called 'Super-Apostles'. I hope that helps. Blessings!
@@samoluwafunbi8061 There is more evidence to suggest that Jesus was not of material wealth, than the evidence to suggest otherwise. For instance, when his parents, Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the temple for the required offering for the firstborn, they offered “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons” (Luke 2:24), which is what the Law allowed for mothers who could not afford the regular required offering of a sheep (Lev 12:8). Along with the previously quoted verse from Matthew 8:20, we also see in Matthew 17:27, that when it came to paying the temple tax, Jesus did not pay it from his own pocket, but relied on miraculous provision. None of this is to suggest that Jesus lived in abject poverty, and he does not suggest that his followers must live a life of poverty. Nowhere does Jesus (or the rest of the Bible) forbid wealth among his people. Material wealth can be a form of blessing, as we can see in the corporate blessing for obedience for Israel in Deuteronomy 28:11. However, Jesus does not allow for wealth to be the main pursuit of his followers (Matt 6:24; 13:22; Mark 10:23; cf. 1 Tim 6:10). There is much evidence that wealthy people became followers of Jesus. Mary, the mother of Mark owned a house (and had a maidservant) that was big enough to host the gathering of early Christians (Acts 12:12). Along with her, Theophilus is often thought to be the patron of Luke, who sponsored the writing of Luke and Acts (Luke 1:1-4; Acts 1:1-2), an act that required notable means. Money itself is not evil, and having money is not necessarily a bad thing. However, we have to guard our hearts that it doesn’t stir up the sins of coveting and greed, which is a form of idolatry (Col 3:5). Our hearts and hands must remain open to God, so he can use us and the resources he has put in our care, to the benefit of his kingdom, as he sees fit. I hope that helps to clarify. Blessings!

Prophecy led me here
Why do you guys always depicts the apostles and disciples as poor, cant get that

@TheBibleEffect Thank you! I believe Jesus Christ was not poor as well, because Christians are wealthy and blessed, is Christ against material wealth
