I don't think that Pastor Levesque wants to be related to Steven Anderson, but both seem to fall for a misconception. The "book" the Qur'an is referring to (kitab) is not the Bible but rather written by God (resp. Allah) Himself in Heaven. It has been revealed verbally (vocally) to the prophets (Moses, David, Jesus) through the angle Gabriel (Jibreel) but then "corrupted" by men who wrote it down. The third Caliph (Uthman) saw that particular risk also for the Qur'an and ordered all copies (slightly differing already then) to be destroyed. So, the "Bible" is not God's word but men's, written down during the ages. That would explain discrepancies of stories and conceptions told in the Qur'an (God's most recent revelation) and the Bible (both Old and New Testaments).
Romans Ch1 teaches the reprobate doctrine. God will allow a person to believe or not believe. But God will finally give a person over to a reprobate mind. A reprobate cannot be saved. Moses saw Pharoah deny God and finally Pharoah was given over to a reprobate mind. It doesn’t matter whether you believe in God or not. He has given a path for all to be saved. Whether Old Testament or New Testament. Salvation is by faith and faith alone. No works. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever beliveth on Him shall not perish but have eternal life. We must understand that we are a sinner in need of a Savior. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. I pray that this person would consider before rejecting. God will allow you choice and should you choose to reject you will come to the point of being reprobate. That is your choosing not Gods. He wants all to be saved and non to perish. Eternity is forever. You will whether you believe it or not fiend eternity in heaven through Gods free gift of salvation by believing on His Son through simple faith. Or spend eternity in hell.
@@jesuswarnedusaboutthem7710 they reject God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit. They reject the Gospel. A person, when witnessing two, that’s not receptive to the gospel is different than rejecting the gospel. A person who rejects the gospel will adamantly oppose it. If you’ve ever been witnessing, you will know the difference.
@@seanburns7011 I currently don’t have a church and am not going soul winning so I don’t know the difference. I have family members that don’t listen to me and I’m not sure if I brush the sand off my sandals and not throw pearl to swine. I heard in a sermon that family is less likely to listen to family and could be receptive to someone else. My mother is a non practicing Catholic and made fun of a worker that I guess was trying to witness to her and said I sound crazy like her. She’s old school Catholic where they listen to the authorities and don’t read the Bible. Honestly I don’t know the difference between someone who is not receptive and someone who rejects the gospel. I’m trying to think about before I was saved. I feel like I teeter tottered and didn’t know if it was true or not but now I know it’s true and Jesus is real. Funny I just spoke to a staunch Catholic the other day and he told me I have to be Catholic again to go to heaven but he said he was going to hell. I don’t understand that reasoning , I tried explaining to him that you don’t have to do works to be saved but would not believe me
Historicity of Jesus. There is no evidence that the biblical Jesus ever existed. The virgin birth, crucifixion and resurrections are the foundational dogma of the Christian religions; no evidence exists for any of that. That a man (rabbi, minister, priest or a hobo of his day with similar name lived, is possible, but that would not serve Christianity. What about the thousands of writings and claims from many religious historians? They are serving their faith and are not interested in facts of history. Is it possible that not a single eyewitness to Jesus mention a single words about Jesus? No it is not possible, if he really existed and performed those miracles. What about the contemporaries, writers and historians in the early first century? There were more than a dozen of those around Jerusalem and the Middle Eat. Nobody mentioned witnessing the birth, trial and crucifixion of Jesus or the graves opening and the dead walking around the city. If you are tempted by the 4 Gospels, than you should know that these were written by anonymous Greeks living in Greece having never met Jesus, just hearing the folk tales. The 4 did not have names, and we do not know who they were or what they saw or did not see. The Greek bishop, Irenaeus invented the four names and inserted them into the gospels in 170 C.E. Did you ever ask why the other dozen or so gospels were excluded from the bible? The answer is, they were excluded because they contradict the four gospels that were included. Very convenient. It should also be noted, that the bible was and I still being revised. Several version are in use today. For those perpetrating the Jesus propaganda I would like to ask; (1) Do you believe that the prophet Muhammad split the moon in half and rode a winged horse (buraq)? Well, there are thousands of written confirmations/writings and 1.6 billion Muslims claim it so. (2) Do you believe that Joseph Smith received god’s message on a golden tablets from the angel Moroni? There are millions of Mormons who write about and believe that. Plus other tales by other religions about their private miracles? What is the difference between those tales and the Christian tale? Finally, the Jesus story closely matches stories of other gods before Jesus. Is that a coincidence; I think not. For example Horus born of a virgin, had twelve disciples, walked on water, delivered a 'sermon on the mount', performed miracles, (turning water into wine) was executed beside two thieves, rose from the dead and ascended into heaven. It turns out, that the Jesus story is a cheap knock-off of previous legends.

I really enjoyed this breakdown Pastor!
Levesque is French for the Bishop. Its spelled l’évêque in modern French.
