Thank you. To say people don’t love the Lord because they have a problem with a particular church is incorrect. Where in the Bible does it say you have to gather in a particular building anyway? I’ve been hurt by the church and directly by the Pastor when he asked me and my wife if we were on drugs just because we were experiencing some financial difficulties. If you seen what we look like, you would understand our frustration. We felt wrongfully judged in that situation. And let me add we poured into that ministry financially on numerous occasions, but we didn’t stop seeking the Lord or other churchs.
Just joined 2819 church and pastor Phillip is really good. Teaching scripture so we can understand and be better disciples. Very glad to be at a church who teaches the Scriptures to build up the body. And their small groups are edifying. Amen 🙏🏾
Praise God for that! I wish I lived Atlanta to attend that church. I visited that church in December, the church service was like no other indescribable
When you said "let the Lord take a day off with you" I was really thinking. Imagine if I didn't have God for a day. Let alone a second, my life would be turmoil. And it's crazy because sometimes I feel like I don't spend enough time with him.
I agree. The father and son relationship has to be reflected in leadership. Christ is the head of the church. Man is the head of women. God is the head of Christ. This represents relationship and responsibility.
You can’t expect to go to Heaven and yet hate what Heaven is made of . Heaven is filled with the church . It’s so important that we lean not to our own understanding but instead be obedient to what the Word says . We need to attend the Church . We need to be Apart of the Body . Yes you can meet wherever but it’s important that the church congregate and if you are not doing that, you are being disobedient .
I am a Christian and I ❤ God's church. I admit I have not returned to the church building since March 2020. Until then I faithfully attended and was involved in my local church and collaborated as well as participated with other churches and Christian community groups on a regular basis. During the pandemic I relied more heavily on RUclips ministries. After suffering multiple losses and being under severe spiritual warfare, I have not visited the church building but I still believe in God's Word and seek His guidance daily. I am grateful for the messages I have been able to learn from during the imterim. I've been exposed to a lot of helpful ministries as well as become aware of the deception and buffoonery that is taking place among some current church leaders. It is very disappointing and challenging to witness. Nevertheless, I am praying for discernment in finding a more suitable church home for this season in my life. I have not experienced church hurt per se but I have been traumatized by some wolves in sheep's clothing and I am healing as I navigate that. I appreciate the knowledge, awareness and growth I've gained from engaging with this channel and others. Thanks for sharing.
Where two three gathered together if it's in the home teaching his word Jesus said I am in the mis Jesus is my lord and Savor and I seek the lord will the lord not allow you in heaven because you are not in the building
I prefer to focus on and glorify my personal growth and healing through submitting to God first and fellowshipping with the saints. God is faithful and He supplies all we need including sincere people to learn with and through. The enemy came to steal, kill and destroy but the Lord Jesus Christ has come that we might have life and life more abundantly. God bless you ❣️
Brother Corey. We need a post or something to help people find a sound church home. Most people cant find one or have given up looking. Maybe we can drop our state and city and have your viewers(our brothers and sisters) recommend churches that are sound in doctrine and have GODLY leaders.
If I may, the one who is attacking the corporate churches is God himself. And it looks like it began in 1988 when 1stPeter 4:17, came into play. We were trying to find a church that was reasonably true to the bible. Not knowing that the abomination that maketh it desolate was already there, Matthew 24:15. So we had to come out before the judgement began. This is what May 21 2011 spiritually was all about. And now looking back, we can see the snare set by God. Many mocked at the unsealed information that came forth, that was once seal, as referenced in Daniel 12. When Daniel ask God, about the info of the end of the world.
My Uncle was my role model, and he played a heavy role in my Christian journey today. He lives in another state and always told me to find a church that teaches and preaches straight from the Gospels. I discovered 2819 Church and Pastor Phillip Anthony Mitchell about 2 months ago and have been attending ever since. It is the first church I've attended in almost 20 years. He reads from the word line-by-line... that's *line-by-line*, TEACHING us the word. That's what I wanted, that's what I needed. I'm grateful and thankful that 2819 is in my city, and I hope to call it home someday. So far, so good.
The ones truly attacking the church doing the most harm to the church within the church are them charismatic pastors & Some of those mainstream Christian music artists. Which are ironically sum of the ones saying "DO NOT ATTACK THE CHURCH"
You can say that again. Folks want to find every excuse under the sun, thinking everything should be catered to their exact liking. Missing out on the things of God the whole time.
Another point Bishop Wooden said was, don’t let what wasn’t a factor in your joining the church, be a factor in you leaving. Not a direct quote but I was there when he said it.
True,True, True. I take inventory of my motives constantly to make sure that my commitment to God and the things of God are above everything else in my life. I fall short at times but I'm getting better every day. I just want to finish this race stronger and better than when I started!
Iet your light shine before men that they will see God in you, live a holy life, if you can't find a good church don't lose faith in God humble yourself.
Cory, I'm so glad you have had a chance to check out Phillip Anthony Mitchell. He's a legit preacher and solid in his theology. Two things that I started listening to in 2024 that I watch/listen to REGULARLY now, are Phillip Mitchell, and of course, Smart Christians Channel. Check out a couple of his sermons. There are a lot of clown preachers out there, so it is refreshing to see there are STILL some doctrinally sound teachers proclaiming the truth. May God continue to bless both of you gentlemen, your families, & your ministries!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I go to church every week and come home and listen to Philip Anthony Mitchell after and he is really good. Nothing like Bryant or Murphy or those other pastors.
Thanks for the Word,Corey! The Bible says,'You will know them by their fruit. A 'healthy tree bears "good fruit,an 'unhealthy tree' bears 'bad fruit'.( Read the Word)! Blessings
YOU ONLY NEED A FEW PEOPLE TO MEET UP AS A CHURCH IN HOMES BUT WHEN YOU ARE OLD AND ON YOUR OWN IT NICE WHEN WE CAN MEET UP IN PERSON OR ON THE INTERNET WITH GOOD SERMONS NO I DONT HATE GOD
I go to church but not every Sunday though. I still give God my time by reading his word, listen to his word daily to start my day, or even watching the word when I don't make it to Church because of my busy work schedule. I'm not gonna disrespect the church or any kind of religion or belief that other people have. It's a wrestle and process on doing the right thing for Christ.
I do think some factors play a role in the situation’s. There are a lot of churches that are not established with mature and older Saints that could really help the quality of learning and teaching in the church.
The confusion is because the term "Church" is used instead of "Ekklesia" God was talking about the people, not the building. So, let's be clear. The building is a liberty. We are only instructed to gather.
I usually agree with you Corey almost 100%, but the problem with this message is that you’ve lumped everyone together as if everyone has the same reasoning concerning the church. It’s true, we shouldn’t neglect the gathering, but what needs to be understood is that every church ain’t God’s church just because they slap a Christian title on it. It is important to not gather under the wrong covering just to make yourself feel like you’ve fulfilled your so called “Christian” obligation. Unless I missed something, Jesus did not come into the world to create religion. That’s a man made concept that unfortunately got corrupted in many denominations as time went on. Furthermore, I’m called a Christian because that’s the religion that’s been associated with me by my upbringing. However, I’m a believer in Jesus Christ because I believe he died for my sins and he is my Lord and Savor. And let me add this, if it wasn’t for some of your videos calling out many wolves in sheep’s clothing, I would’ve possibly been lead astray. I consider you one of the true followers of Christ because you stick to the scriptures. Just be careful to not group everyone together like the world does everyone who calls themselves a Christian.
Jesus himself was religious! He was a devout Jew! Teaching people that we shouldn't be "religious" is actually a trick of the enemy. God has statutes, precepts if you will that we are expected to follow. That's not a bad thing. I think what's bad is false teachers and fake requirements
Thank you for dealing with the ISSUES and not the vessels. I've been waiting to talk with you been catching you on Facebook. You do have insightful teachings.
What it boils down to? Is the people who have been told they are living in sin, or the people who are sinning but don’t believe it should be called out as sin… those are the people who hate the church.
Yes there’s hypocrisy in the church, however we should be improving as the body of Christ, not being comfortable in our brokenness.. A renewed mind must be accomplished daily.. I’m not the man that I was a year ago, and I’m not the hypocrite I was a year ago, we as the body must continue to grow.
In EVERY Church man will fail you, Forgive,,, GOD'S WORD will NEVER FAIL.. KEEP Searching for a Solid Bible believing Church. Buy, in this 🌎 it will never be perfect.
I have a hard time finding a good church that's solid teaching and believes in helping people they good at preaching and hyping people but not aactually showing the love by walking it out
The church as a whole, and I mean here in America from what I have seen has been lax on correcting itself. But Bishop wooden cannot compare the church to the world. Pain in church is much greater than pain form the world. Getting stabbed was easier than leaving my church for the sake of bad doctrine.
Paul telling the church to put the man out implies actually approaching the man about the situation. It seems the church today is not into confronting problems head on (wink wink).
I love church i just struggle finding one that doesnt have a female pastor or 30 people speaking in "tounges" im hurtin to get plugged into the body, confused on the denominations and their beliefs i know im not pentecostal or charismatic or catholic so what does that leave me?
Go to a church where they do expository preaching. This will ensure that they teach God's Word, have a high view of scripture and won't allow the extra foolishness.
@MinLeeMajors I appreciate that alot brother. I honestly didn't know of that style and that's most definitely what I need, I need to get equipped with sound teaching to reach family and friends before it's too late. Thank you for your time brother God bless
Pray, then, do an internet search for a church finder. Before you go, make sure you read their statement of faith and, if possible, listen to a couple of sermons from the men that actually pastor there. Also, if doctrine is important to you, don't let the majority race of the church hinder your search.
Yes! Same here. It is a struggle to find one that’s not teaching false doctrines, have false teachers, trying to convince you certain sins aren’t wrong, as in women pastors etc. women dressed so inappropriately. I want an old time good church.
You probably need to go to the smallest town closest to you and find the one small Baptist church. There will be like 35 people there. Usually just a couple of Hymnals and the Word of God. It's not a guarantee, but it's a pretty good start. You're some type of reformed. Do you want a church with a big governmental system like Presbyterians or do you want the individual church to be able to decide go do whatever they want to do. High church or low church. Ones not better than the other, just depends what you're looking for
I think there’s too much anonymity in some churches, so people don’t have a vested interest. They attend as a bystander or visitor and that makes it laborious and trite. And I also think some people are triggered due to things that happened when they were kids. But at some point in your walk you have to let down your defenses and become involved and have a vested interest instead of just being a guest or bystander. Also, there are a lot of people who simply don’t like “people” so their comfort zone is to be to themselves but that is detrimental. So we have to trust that God knows what He’s doing and that He knows what’s best for us.
@brijenell0201 I can definitely empathize with you. But yeah at some point you’ll be better off stepping out of your comfort zone. We all need each other. Being out here in this treacherous world without the edification, camaraderie and accountability that other believers offer is not healthy for us.
Okay, Pastor Corey. This was a great lesson and reminder. I have a church home that I love. I love my church. I may subscribe to this channel again😂 More teachings like this❤
We have the same problems here in Namibia (Africa)... Very hard to find a true biblically grounded church.... Even with thhe traditional churches such as the Evangelical Lutheran Church that I am a part of lacks expository teaching from the Bible. They rather use textbooks to preach from every Sunday, ordination of female pastors and elders are rampant, infant baptisms etcetera etcetera....
First time commenting, when you say the "rituals of the Church" what are those? There are the two sacraments for the New Testament Church (communion and baptism), some say 3 (the washing of feet) if I'm not mistaken. Mark 7:7-8 gives an example of the "tradition of men". Do we have a tendency to "hyper-define" what constitues the Church other than a gathering of the fellowship of believers together? I'm a member of a local body, but I've also been in a place where about 5 people worshipped in a home...did this for 4 years and i can say it was the most joyful gathering I've ever experienced. What constitutes a biblical church?
@@pearl0818 we do need to look in the mirror, but it doesn’t negate being hurt. we should learn from every experience. Giving grace as needed yet being accountable.
@dcole2133 I don't disagree with this statement. I just want us to know that disappointment does happen in the church, even among believers. We cannot let their paralyze our witness, fellowship, and walk
@@pearl0818 being butthurt is different than a Christian damaging you I can be butthurt all day but when a spiritual leader is unbiblical that’s a whole different kettle of fish.
My sister was almost raped in church, i was beat up in church, i made fun of in church, bullied in church, and abused in church (not sexually) now, we see non doctrinal teachings in church, so my question is, if those churches are only availbe to the poor what are they to do?
I'm sorry those things happened sir but not all churches are like that. My suggestion is you keep searching. Drop your city and see if one of our brothers or sisters can recommend a church that is sound in doctrine with GODLY men and women.
@@beingsaved556 that was years ago, but this is still happening to poor people, with few options, and no mode of transportation. For years this and other things made me hate God. How could he allow that to happen in his place of worship. This channel post videos exposing these corrupt pastors and churches and the solution to those being raped, molested. Assualted is to love the church? I tell you, several things happened to me outside of the church rather you believe it or not is this. 1. In underneath extreme doubt i begged and asked jesus to prove to me that he was indeed god, he showed me a miracle. 2. I asked to recieve the holy spirit. He sent it to me and i tell you, the germs, bacteria, everything that lives in me celebrated, i felt a love and power that never ends, but i was convicted of EVERY SIN I DID, it was like someone flipping a picture book, or fast slides, i remembered everything. The things i tried to hide was uncovered, the things i forgot about he reminded me, i was begging for forgiveness, (this is the short story) afterwards i was left mumbling holy, holy, holy. I felt a hug or embrace that i never felt. Now i feel secure. The 3rd thing is i was awaken at 3ish i passed out on my way to the bathroom, again i passed out and hit my head against the bed and awoken my wife. It frighten her. I layed in the bed with her and she said my heart was beating funny. I didnt believe her, because i couldnt feel anything. Later i felt it, i was worried. I attempted to dial 911, but a voice said you will survive this. Then i heard a voice say make all paths straight for the lord, jesus spoke to me and gave me a message. 2 personal and one public he told me to tell the world. Afterwards he gave me a glimpse of whats to come. Now i say all these things because i was a blasphemer, pegan, aethiest, agnostic sinful man that only used jesus as a granter of wishes. After he did that i tossed him aside. Now, im a believer. All of this happened to me outside the church. I tell my testimony to others and they ask me how? Idk, but if i stayed in church non of this would of happened. I live in atlanta with some of the worst churches. Thousands are being mislead. That's why i asked the question. I personally feel that people can use channels like these to learn more about god than going to a church. No every church isnt like the ones i went to, but everyone doesnt have that option. Jesus is the church. He's still in the business of coming to you. He did it for me.
To me, i will say those who hate the church are those who know they are sinners and constantly attending church but never following the teachings of the scriptures. What about false prophets, preaching for money profits, and never preaching truth? Do they also hate the church?
I have a problem with the church, but it's "not the church" it's people in the church! I understand that people are people, and we've all fallen short before the glory of God. Nobody is perfect, but inside the church, it seems to be every church! We have these "clicks" of people who run the church and run people off from the church by hurting people. I go to church because I know what the Father has told me. I haven't found one church that doesn't have "clicks."
The church building is where believers join together to worship the Lord and share in our common faith. So all the “church is not a building” is asinine.
Jesus is half brother Jude says that we are to defend the faith The life that I live in the flesh I live by the faith of theson of God, who loves me and died for me
I think there are two different churches ... but the real church is without walls. If a church is operating under a false doctrine and teaching lukewarm-ism... I cant submit my family to that way of living. Also, if ministries have manipulated you, used you, gossiped about you, spoke tongues babbling when you dont agree with babbling, while you continued to be faithful... at some point, you have to draw the line. Now, my church is all who do the will of the father.... even the stumbeling ones. But I cannot subject my family to false doctrine.
Please please please 🙏🏼 make a video of pastors Jimmy Evans and his buddy Mark Hitchcock! I remember watching both of them at a time in my life when I was coming back to Christ and right when I got near the end of the video where they were going to reveal something to me, both said if you want to hear what to do or to learn more, pay us money to join our site! I was so disheartened! It is absolutely disgusting that both of those men each are worth more than $50 million plus apiece!!! That’s a lot of money. They are here on a FREE PLATFORM and they are pimping and stealing from the poor. It is the best way I can put it because it’s true. Nobody picks up on these lower or mid level preachers, but these men are greedy awful men, and it really broke my heart to know I had to pay to get the answer to what they were telling us about Christ ! God bless! ♥️🙏🏼
But also assembling with other believers don’t necessarily mean you have to be in a building as long as you are gathered together with other believers. So when Paul was admonishing the believers gather and encourage one another seeing the time fast approaching was every opportunity you can to meet and gather do so cause the time is coming when you will not be able to do so and we should but not to be there all the time is not a sign you hate God or the things of God especially if you are maintaining that private time of fellowship, worship and study of the word. Most of the time these corrections are motivated by number of attendance and money.
Some people may not have a physical building in the beginning and choose to gather together at someone's home and have Bible study and service which is a great thing and that's okay but the video is referring to ppl who say they having church at home by themselves or say they hate church but will go everywhere else....the reality is Biblically we are to gather and that is what Christ desires because it builds us up
The Church according to the scripture is a group of believers and there is no reason they cannot meet on a virtual platform such as the internet. There is no such thing as the church is situated at such and such address. For example , we can enjoy and be a member of John McArthur's church but live in Africa! Amen 🙏
But the gathering can happen anywhere, it’s not about an organized group of people in a building. It’s about love and unity in the faith. We cannot fellowship with apostates, idol worshippers , etc. I I Timothy chapter 3; Ephesians 5:11. We have a right to fellowship in the beauty of holiness and authenticity, it’s not about perfection, but it is about being apart of followers of Christ who indeed serve God., and not just using a title as a cloak . I will not set with corrupt leaders in the Church.
These are all very good examples! However, I need help. I am not learning or growing at my local church. I love Upper Room but it’s a 4 hour drive away. Can't do it ever week, but, we did travel down there last weekend and met him in person! He “preaches”! The service was just as spirit filled and word based as ever. I don't get that at my home church. What do I do then? Online is the best I get right now.
Does this justfy homosexuality in the church? Matthew 13:28-30 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.
Wrong we are the living stones there is no such thing as church. When we look at early church fathers a lot of the early ones kept loyalty to observing this sabbath and the feast and the commandments and the calendar, because they all wrote that the observation of the day that the Jews sacrifice their lab should be observed all the bishops of Asia including Polycrate stood their ground the Romans made bishops what were modern-day popes changing and compromising he consisted that we follow God rather than man and their traditions would Colossians says of Paul saying, we observe Nisan 14 we dont add we dont take, he says to the Pope the Passover day cannot be changed by humans, just like the pope now what they were doing was changing the Resurrection Day to Sunday when in fact it was Sabbath, they said you Jews can keep your days we're going to make our own calendar and our own days because again humanity does not want to obey because the devil eats on carnal flesh. And just like with the church today they don't want anything to do with Israel but they want to call themselves Israel we are the house of Israel those who truly follow, so this is what he wrote for in Asia great lights have fallen asleep that will rise again on the day of the Lord's coming when he shall come with Glory from heaven and he will seek out all of his saints whose lights are lit, unlike some of the leaders today these men of God knew these saints were all awaiting the resurrection and despite their defense just like it says they excommunicated John. Notice John specifically addressed Cappadocia Asia Minor churches but not Rome Rome was never mentioned? Because the West wanted to do their own thing.... Another thing that's not talked about but is in your Bible and we completely miss the church kicked out the apostle John so were all the Jews and all the Gentiles that wanted all the Jews, 3rd John 1:9-10 I wrote to the church, ( Assembly not church ) but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us. Not satisfied with that, he even refuses to welcome other believers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church. ( Assembly ekklésia kaleo ) 90 ad is when he wrote Revelation and the gospel, 20 years after the temple 70 Jesus died 30 ad it's been 60 years, then the temple destroyed in the scattering of the Jews Zachariah 13:7, Ezekiel 4, Daniel 9, Luke 21, the new Gentiles that are coming in are taking over the synagogues, and they want to be the boss because we want to do what we want to do. Because these people were bringing Plato, Socrates, philosophy, and they didn't know anything about the Torah or Hebrew. Luke 22:15-19 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat (this Passover) with you before I suffer. ( For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”) because even heaven celebrates it !!! 19And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, (“This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”) Notice it don't say Easter! When is the time frame when is this happening? Nisan 14 Leviticus 23 tells you.. when he said do this in remembrance of me what was he talking about? He was talking about the Passover seder they were preparing the Passover!!!! So why do you people call it the last supper when it wasn't the last? You have a problem here. It was the Passover Seder, and the Passover seder is always done on Nisan 14! Going into 15 which is the Feast of unleavened bread, which is a Sabbath even if it's not Saturday, and Jesus Yeshua said I want you to do this in remembrance of me!!! What is the this? What does he want you to keep remembering Malachi the law Passover!!! It's not Easter!! This is Passover when you do the Passover Seder do this and remembrance of my death remember my death! And he was not talking about communion!!! Do this so every Passover the day of my death I want you to always honor it and do you honor it? No. So which day is that it's not the end of March it's the end of April Nisan 14!! Every Passover do that in remembrance of me and the New covenant that I made!!! it's not communion, 1 Corinthians 11: 24-25 and this is Paul commenting about that day, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, ( “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”) in the same way, (after supper he took the cup,) saying, (“This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” ) there's actually four cups the four cups of wine at the Passover Seder, Christians call it the last supper because they don't want to keep the Passover because it's supposedly Jewish but it actually it's God's. They want to replace Israel sadly. What if my birthday is April and you want to celebrate it in November because that's how you feel is it right? No you don't have no right Roman says you were dead in your trespasses you don't have any rights, it's all Grace given to you!!! So if my birthday is in April why do you celebrate it in November? Because you want to right? John 18:39 Pilate says, But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the ( Passover. ) Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?” what did they say? 40They shouted back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising. Bar means son son of the Father and Jesus was son of the father, and that's who they want it released, John 19:26-27 26When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home. What happened? John took Mary into his own home, and when persecution came they both moved to Ephesus, Leviticus 23:5-6 ( The LORD’s Passover ) begins at twilight on the (fourteenth day of the first month.) I thought it was the Jewish Passover??? Notice no Easter. Does this say the Jewish Passover? No it says the Lord's Passover right? This wasn't January or March was it this was when April!!! On the ( fifteenth day of that month ) ( the LORD’s Festival of Unleavened Bread begins;) for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast notice again the Lord's feast? Exodus 12:1-2 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, This month is to be for you the ( first month, ) the (first month of your year) Okay the new month always begins with the new moon insert April 8th!! The new moon!!! !!! The middle of the month was always the full moon 🌕! and Passover was at the full moon! Tabernacles is at the full moon! Rosh Hashanah is at the new moon! Because the Hebrew word for moon is also the Hebrew word for throne every Passover has to be at the full moon!! And God's throne is being set at the full moon because it says in Zachariah when he returns he returns at the Feast of Tabernacles which is the full moon!!! Zechariah 14 and every nation will have to go to Israel to celebrate the Feast of booths at the full moon or their land will be cursed! And this is when he sits on his throne. Isaiah when there's a new moon and he's telling everybody to keep it!!!! The new moon is important!! Acts 12:4 when Harold apprehended put him in prison but when ? 4After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial (after the Passover.) not Easter, John 18:39 (But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time) of the ( Passover.) Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?” Now let's look at it in the Greek and Hebrew below the translated in Greek is ( Pascha ) that's translated as Passover, and it comes from the Hebrew word ( Pesach ) so the Hebrew came first and the Hebrew was Passover and then they translated it to the Greek which is Pascha, again no Easter right? In English we have the Paschal Lamb, okay. Acts 12:4 After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the (Passover.) ( Pascha ) Hebrew ( Pasach ) still no Easter? So how do the translators translate it as Easter??? How can they translate this as Passover in one verse then all of a sudden it's Easter ? Because the people teaching otherwise better have scripture for scripture to prove their point if not it's heresy isn't it?
It's idolatry not only to worship a false god, but the true God/Yahweh in a false manner. It is Satan who changes the LORD's Appointed Times, "He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws" (Daniel 7:25). Does it make any sense, the Father would command these Feasts forever (enforce them in the future Millennial Kingdom on pain of plague) and not have them binding today? Most today accept and cherish the enemy's substitute worship days and instructions. Only in the Scriptures can we find the truth about Yahweh's will for worship. The Appointed Times are all about the Messiah. The Spring Feasts have been fulfilled in Yeshua's first coming. Yahweh's plan for the feasts is to fulfill all of His great promises and the Fall Feasts have yet to be fulfilled! Paul condemned the new believers in Galatians for continuing to observe "days and months and seasons and years. I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain" (Galatians 4:10-11). Notice, days, months, seasons and years are names for pagan feasts. Contrast that with Colossians 2:16, "Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day." These are the names for His Appointed Times. Romans 14:5 is about "personal convictions" and "personal scruples" but it's in the context of Old Testament. The Romans 14:5 verse was written to be fully convinced in their own minds about whether to observe EXTRA FAST DAYS or not. Even the Jews themselves had different convictions about the observance of those days, because those fast days were never commanded by the LORD. The "days" Paul was referring to were the traditional fast days mentioned in Zechariah 7:5-6, not commanded days. Prepare now to celebrate the LORD's Spring Feasts!
verse that everybody uses to shove in their theologies Malachi 4:4 remember the law of my servant Moses the statues and rules that I commanded him at Horeb ( For all of Israel ) aren't you grafted into Israel? Jesus said if you love me keep my commandments we are of Israel. So then this goes into the term ecclesia which is the body. Not no church there is never a word church it is assembly solemn assembly. Acts 15:20 was the starting point for new Gentile believers, who did not know the law. They would hear the Law preached every Sabbath and learn how to walk in the LORD's ways. Acts 15:21 explains, "For the law of Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on EVERY SABBATH.” Acts 15:22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole ( Assembly ), to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers, Greek work kaleo means ekklésia ( assembly or call ) nothing else I tried saying the term "" church """ was made up by the Roman Catholic pagan Church 2 Timothy 1:9 9He has saved us and (called us to a holy life) ( kaleo ) ( Klesis invitation ) -not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time We are Called the assembly!!!!! Now Leviticus 23:1 Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘These are my appointed festivals, the appointed festivals of the LORD, which you are to proclaim as (sacred assemblies.) here again ( Mo'edims ) appointed times Daniel 8 as well as congregation synagogue assemblies. Biblical hermeneutics and proper exegesis. Now let's go deeper who are we? Matthew 16:18 The spiritual house God is building is designed for His glory, and we, the living stones, glorify the Lord in all we do (1 Corinthians 10:31). Hebrews 2:12 12saying, “I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst (of the congregation ) ( ekklésia) I will sing your praise The Lord promised that His covenant people would someday be gathered: “I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them” (Jeremiah 23:3). Daniel 9 the Messiah shall strengthen a already existing covenant the Mosaic covenant to Graft in the gentiles Romans 9 Romans 11 . The two witnesses are the whole house of Israel Ezekiel 37 Zachariah Romans 9 Romans 11 Revelation 1 Jesus says if you love me keep my commandments that's the feast because Daniel 7:25 this man shall change times and the law well he tells you to keep it the feast all of this. So if we are gathering for the feast like we are commanded to then we would be gathering in Israel which is the whole house of Israel in his hand everything is in place for the gathering of the whole house of Israel... Revelation 12 the Beast overcomes those who keep the commandments of God and the testimonies of Jesus this is one vision of two groups of people combined as one... He did say that he would regather the whole house of Israel the Bible says what it says Revelation 12 this is why the two witnesses the bodies of people read the ending of Revelation 10 multitudes from every tribe of every nation the 144,000 the great multitude out of the tribulation who washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb who did not love their life even unto death. Jesus says to present your bodies as a living sacrifice just like he did the sacrifice of the Lamb just like Paul just like every one of them The church = ekklésia is the body of believers and ( Bride ) who confess Christ & Jews Jeremiah 11 ( some branches ) were burned off so that you gentiles can be part takers of the 🫚🇮🇱 again house of Israel Ezekiel 37 this is where PAUL taught from because the new testament was not even written here because they were literally writing it. Jesus tells you if you love me keep my commandments we are of Israel not America. So let us dive deeper. Romans the 🫚🇮🇱 who supports you burned off some to graph you into Israel so do not be arrogant of that zechariah you have the olive trees because Jeremiah tells you a whole nation can be a olive 🌲🌴. Revelation 1 Revelation 11 same thing cf Revelation 7 the 144,000 Whole house of Israel 🫚🇮🇱. These are the ones who ( keep the commandments of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ ) who stand before the Lord God on Earth. To be the 🕯️ lamp stands to the world. To be the witnesses that he is God . ( Jesus says If you love me keep my commandments) his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength” (Revelation 1:16 … The Torah is a Sharpe two edge sword 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. Logos is Torah. That was in the beginning. Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.

When you see that they're ripe know the time is short. You have the menorah ( JESUS ) THE 🕯️ of the 🌎 giving oil to two trees. Is the ( Root who supports you ). And never forget it 🫚🇮🇱
I disagree too, and stand on the truth of God in JesusChrist, who made flesh and blood the church of God, and Satan trying to put in humankinds heart that it is a building, or a building Christians worship in! I understand if everyone in the building was like minded, but everybody in the worship building or building for pagan worship, isn't on one accord!!!!! People think God, Almighty God in JesusChrist made a building a church, and God showed us the truth through JesusChrist, who was the church of God also, that made disciples, and made them to be the church of God...... That's why Jesus told us, many are called, but only few are chosen.
Pressure is from satan. Peace is from God. Churches have moved away from sound doctrine. They mix worldly things into their sermons. I am endeavoring to get closer to God while the church is moving away from God. It's very painful. Don't bully me from the pulpit.
That depends on what you mean by bully.. Are preachers attacking you from the pulpit personally. Or you just simply disagree with the message given to all?
Jesus said in Revelation chapters 2&3. He sets forth parameters, guidelines if you will, threatening to remove their candle stick unless... You don't love unconditionally. Want to differ, take it up with Jesus. All of God covenants with Israel hinged on one word, " if" . Check it out for yourself.
FYI, we need to know the difference between the CHURCH (the body), and the church house ( building). The body is in tact being assembled as God and his Sons eyes scan the earth choosing those he wants. The majority of these church houses ARE. A. MESS.
Ok so I left a church because I was under the leadership of a woman pastor and I didn’t want to leave because I’ve been there for years. So are you telling I should have stayed? Should I still defend them as part of the church? I love the Lord and the church too.
When it comes to your church home, your cause or reason for staying should never be the people or the environment, it should always be a decision YOU and you alone feel led to make. Speaking from experience, I use to attend a church with my girlfriend that I had been going to for years, I was an usher there and a lot of my family members attended that church. After a while however, my girlfriend and I both realized that we feel stagnant (spiritually) there and that it was time to leave. I felt guilty as all heck because I felt I had an obligation to be where my family was, and to be a servant. Long story short, we started attending another church where every week, we feel we're learning something that's allowing us BOTH to grow in our spiritual walks. Ultimately, as I said, what you feel the Lord is calling you should be the primary motivation behind why you leave or stay at a church and as you grow spiritually, you'll develop a level of discernment that will show you whether you should stick by certain people, or whether you should take a step back and let the Lord work.
Also, the Bible specifically mentions in 1st Timothy 2:12, and 1st Corinthians 14:34-35 that women shouldn't exercise authority over men and shouldn't speak in church (i.e. they shouldn't be preachers) so that IS something to rebuke because even if she was an amazing preacher, she is defying scripture in doing so. In situations like that, one must defend the person always because as a body of believers we should love each other above all, BUT the action (or lack of) should be rebuked. I hope these messages help you in your situation, and I pray your faith continues to grow each day.
When we look at early church fathers a lot of the early ones kept loyalty to observing this sabbath and the feast and the commandments and the calendar, because they all wrote that the observation of the day that the Jews sacrifice their lab should be observed all the bishops of Asia including Polycrate stood their ground the Romans made bishops what were modern-day popes changing and compromising he consisted that we follow God rather than man and their traditions would Colossians says of Paul saying, we observe Nisan 14 we dont add we dont take, he says to the Pope the Passover day cannot be changed by humans, just like the pope now what they were doing was changing the Resurrection Day to Sunday when in fact it was Sabbath, they said you Jews can keep your days we're going to make our own calendar and our own days because again humanity does not want to obey because the devil eats on carnal flesh. And just like with the church today they don't want anything to do with Israel but they want to call themselves Israel we are the house of Israel those who truly follow, so this is what he wrote for in Asia great lights have fallen asleep that will rise again on the day of the Lord's coming when he shall come with Glory from heaven and he will seek out all of his saints whose lights are lit, unlike some of the leaders today these men of God knew these saints were all awaiting the resurrection and despite their defense just like it says they excommunicated John. Notice John specifically addressed Cappadocia Asia Minor churches but not Rome Rome was never mentioned? Because the West wanted to do their own thing.... Another thing that's not talked about but is in your Bible and we completely miss the church kicked out the apostle John so were all the Jews and all the Gentiles that wanted all the Jews, 3rd John 1:9-10 I wrote to the church, ( Assembly not church ) but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us. Not satisfied with that, he even refuses to welcome other believers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church. ( Assembly ekklésia kaleo ) 90 ad is when he wrote Revelation and the gospel, 20 years after the temple 70 Jesus died 30 ad it's been 60 years, then the temple destroyed in the scattering of the Jews Zachariah 13:7, Ezekiel 4, Daniel 9, Luke 21, the new Gentiles that are coming in are taking over the synagogues, and they want to be the boss because we want to do what we want to do. Because these people were bringing Plato, Socrates, philosophy, and they didn't know anything about the Torah or Hebrew. Luke 22:15-19 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat (this Passover) with you before I suffer. ( For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”) because even heaven celebrates it !!! 19And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, (“This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”) Notice it don't say Easter! When is the time frame when is this happening? Nisan 14 Leviticus 23 tells you.. when he said do this in remembrance of me what was he talking about? He was talking about the Passover seder they were preparing the Passover!!!! So why do you people call it the last supper when it wasn't the last? You have a problem here. It was the Passover Seder, and the Passover seder is always done on Nisan 14! Going into 15 which is the Feast of unleavened bread, which is a Sabbath even if it's not Saturday, and Jesus Yeshua said I want you to do this in remembrance of me!!! What is the this? What does he want you to keep remembering Malachi the law Passover!!! It's not Easter!! This is Passover when you do the Passover Seder do this and remembrance of my death remember my death! And he was not talking about communion!!! Do this so every Passover the day of my death I want you to always honor it and do you honor it? No. So which day is that it's not the end of March it's the end of April Nisan 14!! Every Passover do that in remembrance of me and the New covenant that I made!!! it's not communion, 1 Corinthians 11: 24-25 and this is Paul commenting about that day, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, ( “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”) in the same way, (after supper he took the cup,) saying, (“This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” ) there's actually four cups the four cups of wine at the Passover Seder, Christians call it the last supper because they don't want to keep the Passover because it's supposedly Jewish but it actually it's God's. They want to replace Israel sadly. What if my birthday is April and you want to celebrate it in November because that's how you feel is it right? No you don't have no right Roman says you were dead in your trespasses you don't have any rights, it's all Grace given to you!!! So if my birthday is in April why do you celebrate it in November? Because you want to right? John 18:39 Pilate says, But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the ( Passover. ) Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?” what did they say? 40They shouted back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising. Bar means son son of the Father and Jesus was son of the father, and that's who they want it released, John 19:26-27 26When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home. What happened? John took Mary into his own home, and when persecution came they both moved to Ephesus, Leviticus 23:5-6 ( The LORD’s Passover ) begins at twilight on the (fourteenth day of the first month.) I thought it was the Jewish Passover??? Notice no Easter. Does this say the Jewish Passover? No it says the Lord's Passover right? This wasn't January or March was it this was when April!!! On the ( fifteenth day of that month ) ( the LORD’s Festival of Unleavened Bread begins;) for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast notice again the Lord's feast? Exodus 12:1-2 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, This month is to be for you the ( first month, ) the (first month of your year) Okay the new month always begins with the new moon insert April 8th!! The new moon!!! !!! The middle of the month was always the full moon 🌕! and Passover was at the full moon! Tabernacles is at the full moon! Rosh Hashanah is at the new moon! Because the Hebrew word for moon is also the Hebrew word for throne every Passover has to be at the full moon!! And God's throne is being set at the full moon because it says in Zachariah when he returns he returns at the Feast of Tabernacles which is the full moon!!! Zechariah 14 and every nation will have to go to Israel to celebrate the Feast of booths at the full moon or their land will be cursed! And this is when he sits on his throne. Isaiah when there's a new moon and he's telling everybody to keep it!!!! The new moon is important!! Acts 12:4 when Harold apprehended put him in prison but when ? 4After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial (after the Passover.) not Easter, John 18:39 (But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time) of the ( Passover.) Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?” Now let's look at it in the Greek and Hebrew below the translated in Greek is ( Pascha ) that's translated as Passover, and it comes from the Hebrew word ( Pesach ) so the Hebrew came first and the Hebrew was Passover and then they translated it to the Greek which is Pascha, again no Easter right? In English we have the Paschal Lamb, okay. Acts 12:4 After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the (Passover.) ( Pascha ) Hebrew ( Pasach ) still no Easter? So how do the translators translate it as Easter??? How can they translate this as Passover in one verse then all of a sudden it's Easter ? Because the people teaching otherwise better have scripture for scripture to prove their point if not it's heresy isn't it?
i need some help from believers right now. Please don’t use you opinion only but use versus to back it up. Me and my friend were debating on if you are actively living in sun will you go to heaven. I used Gay people as an example, For those actively living there life that way, can they go to heaven? I wonder this because it’s not like they sin and repent but instead are basically saying we don’t care God let me live my life, So i don’t think they go to heaven but my friend does.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (ESV): 9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. Hebrews 10:26-27 (ESV): 26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.
Romans 6:1-2 (ESV): 6 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
It sounds as if your friend doesn’t understand the Gospel or what salvation actually is. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV): 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
@@HisPrincessa626Thankyou for the help. From what you gave me i see that someone who lives in sin will not go to heaven. But someone who once lived in sin and now repents can go to heaven.
I don't agree with religion and I trust James wasn't promoting it either. A Followers of GOD we have a " CULTURE" not a religion which is far different. We are called the Family of GOD and at no time do the Apostles or Jesus speak to us concerning religion. Absolutely no scripture reflects any "religious" attitudes. We do have what we do as a Lifestyle and not as you said religiously. Why do I say this? Scripture will answer " for in him we live and move and have our being". And no one will tell me GOD is religious.
Church is the body of Christ not a building. You don't got to church you are the church. We need to stop focusing on going to church, and start being the church. Just because you are not in the building does not mean you forsake the assembly. People have church in homes. People take the gospel to those in the streets and Parks. I have to disagree. Organized religion is not the church just a bunch of Mens traditions and philosophies.
@brijenell0201 I will be praying for you . Maybe you can begin a group of like minded believers. Even if it's only 2 or 3 of you God is in the mist. I preach at some assemblies. But my primary focus is my home and community around me. How can we be effective for God's kingdom. If we keep hiding behind buildings. As Jesus says. We are the light of the world. Nobody lights a lamp and but is under a basket. We can't hide out light.
When people use the word religion their is a certain meaning behind it they are trying to convey. Of course we should love the good religion, Christianity and the community we are called to have according to the bible. But a lot of people say religion and mean how people will look down upon others, look down their nose at them, people who are up tight and cant have fun. A good primary example could be Catholicism where all that matters is rules. Religion that says sex is bad and if you enjoy it your sinning. Or course we should hold each other accountable as christians and set standards in the community, but that is what most people mean when they say they are anti religion. But truly being christian and going to church is in fact religion, its just taken a different connotation in recent times
There is a big difference between having a problem with THE Church and I have a problem with THAT Church
Thank you. To say people don’t love the Lord because they have a problem with a particular church is incorrect. Where in the Bible does it say you have to gather in a particular building anyway? I’ve been hurt by the church and directly by the Pastor when he asked me and my wife if we were on drugs just because we were experiencing some financial difficulties. If you seen what we look like, you would understand our frustration. We felt wrongfully judged in that situation. And let me add we poured into that ministry financially on numerous occasions, but we didn’t stop seeking the Lord or other churchs.
Which is prevalent in the so-called "black communities" throughout America.
Pastor Phillip Anthony Mitchell is been a great minister of the word of God.
Totally agree, his ministry is amazing 🎉
He’s straight 🔥
He sure is
Just joined 2819 church and pastor Phillip is really good. Teaching scripture so we can understand and be better disciples. Very glad to be at a church who teaches the Scriptures to build up the body. And their small groups are edifying. Amen 🙏🏾
Praise God for that! I wish I lived Atlanta to attend that church. I visited that church in December, the church service was like no other indescribable
When you said "let the Lord take a day off with you"
I was really thinking. Imagine if I didn't have God for a day. Let alone a second, my life would be turmoil. And it's crazy because sometimes I feel like I don't spend enough time with him.
Why do people give the church building attention than the actual church meaning the body
There is no edification, exhortation, or mentoring of the new saints. It's like a big social club!
This is very true
I agree. The father and son relationship has to be reflected in leadership. Christ is the head of the church. Man is the head of women. God is the head of Christ. This represents relationship and responsibility.
There aren't any other churches to attend? Is that one church or every church you've tried?
You can’t expect to go to Heaven and yet hate what Heaven is made of . Heaven is filled with the church . It’s so important that we lean not to our own understanding but instead be obedient to what the Word says . We need to attend the Church . We need to be Apart of the Body . Yes you can meet wherever but it’s important that the church congregate and if you are not doing that, you are being disobedient .
Anyone who doesn't like the body (in general) most likely isn't saved.
I am a Christian and I ❤ God's church. I admit I have not returned to the church building since March 2020. Until then I faithfully attended and was involved in my local church and collaborated as well as participated with other churches and Christian community groups on a regular basis. During the pandemic I relied more heavily on RUclips ministries. After suffering multiple losses and being under severe spiritual warfare, I have not visited the church building but I still believe in God's Word and seek His guidance daily. I am grateful for the messages I have been able to learn from during the imterim. I've been exposed to a lot of helpful ministries as well as become aware of the deception and buffoonery that is taking place among some current church leaders. It is very disappointing and challenging to witness. Nevertheless, I am praying for discernment in finding a more suitable church home for this season in my life. I have not experienced church hurt per se but I have been traumatized by some wolves in sheep's clothing and I am healing as I navigate that. I appreciate the knowledge, awareness and growth I've gained from engaging with this channel and others. Thanks for sharing.
Where two three gathered together if it's in the home teaching his word Jesus said I am in the mis Jesus is my lord and Savor and I seek the lord will the lord not allow you in heaven because you are not in the building
How or why were you traumatized by the wolves?
I prefer to focus on and glorify my personal growth and healing through submitting to God first and fellowshipping with the saints. God is faithful and He supplies all we need including sincere people to learn with and through. The enemy came to steal, kill and destroy but the Lord Jesus Christ has come that we might have life and life more abundantly. God bless you ❣️
Brother Corey. We need a post or something to help people find a sound church home. Most people cant find one or have given up looking. Maybe we can drop our state and city and have your viewers(our brothers and sisters) recommend churches that are sound in doctrine and have GODLY leaders.
ASAP PLEASE 🙏🏾
If I may, the one who is attacking the corporate churches is God himself. And it looks like it began in 1988 when 1stPeter 4:17, came into play. We were trying to find a church that was reasonably true to the bible. Not knowing that the abomination that maketh it desolate was already there, Matthew 24:15. So we had to come out before the judgement began. This is what May 21 2011 spiritually was all about. And now looking back, we can see the snare set by God. Many mocked at the unsealed information that came forth, that was once seal, as referenced in Daniel 12. When Daniel ask God, about the info of the end of the world.
My Uncle was my role model, and he played a heavy role in my Christian journey today. He lives in another state and always told me to find a church that teaches and preaches straight from the Gospels. I discovered 2819 Church and Pastor Phillip Anthony Mitchell about 2 months ago and have been attending ever since. It is the first church I've attended in almost 20 years. He reads from the word line-by-line... that's *line-by-line*, TEACHING us the word. That's what I wanted, that's what I needed. I'm grateful and thankful that 2819 is in my city, and I hope to call it home someday. So far, so good.
The ones truly attacking the church doing the most harm to the church within the church are them charismatic pastors & Some of those mainstream Christian music artists.
Which are ironically sum of the ones saying "DO NOT ATTACK THE CHURCH"
I'm just going to say if you really want to go to church, you will find a good church. Just like you find everything else you want.
You can say that again. Folks want to find every excuse under the sun, thinking everything should be catered to their exact liking. Missing out on the things of God the whole time.
I love Bishop Patrick Wooden.
He tells the truth and keeps it real.
He's my RUclips Bishop.
@@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081 mines too🙂
Another point Bishop Wooden said was, don’t let what wasn’t a factor in your joining the church, be a factor in you leaving. Not a direct quote but I was there when he said it.
True,True, True. I take inventory of my motives constantly to make sure that my commitment to God and the things of God are above everything else in my life. I fall short at times but I'm getting better every day. I just want to finish this race stronger and better than when I started!
Iet your light shine before men that they will see God in you, live a holy life, if you can't find a good church don't lose faith in God humble yourself.
Amen sir!!!
We are THE CHURCH UNITED!
Let us stand up for it with Jesus as HEAD!!!
Cory, I'm so glad you have had a chance to check out Phillip Anthony Mitchell. He's a legit preacher and solid in his theology. Two things that I started listening to in 2024 that I watch/listen to REGULARLY now, are Phillip Mitchell, and of course, Smart Christians Channel.
Check out a couple of his sermons. There are a lot of clown preachers out there, so it is refreshing to see there are STILL some doctrinally sound teachers proclaiming the truth. May God continue to bless both of you gentlemen, your families, & your ministries!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I go to church every week and come home and listen to Philip Anthony Mitchell after and he is really good. Nothing like Bryant or Murphy or those other pastors.
Amen Brother Corey!! We need to examine ourselves and ask God to lead us to a place of Worship ❤
Philip Anthony Mitchell I listen to him he has good teachings
Thanks for the Word,Corey! The Bible says,'You will know them by their fruit. A 'healthy tree bears "good fruit,an 'unhealthy tree' bears 'bad fruit'.( Read the Word)! Blessings
YOU ONLY NEED A FEW PEOPLE TO MEET UP AS A CHURCH IN HOMES BUT WHEN YOU ARE OLD AND ON YOUR OWN IT NICE WHEN WE CAN MEET UP IN PERSON OR ON THE INTERNET WITH GOOD SERMONS NO I DONT HATE GOD
This blessed me this morning! Thank the Lord!🙌🏿❤️ i needed to see this.
Rather be in church catching hell and not in the world headed to hell.
I agree with your point, but really, some of these religious institutions are extremely corrupt and full of the devil!!
I go to church but not every Sunday though. I still give God my time by reading his word, listen to his word daily to start my day, or even watching the word when I don't make it to Church because of my busy work schedule. I'm not gonna disrespect the church or any kind of religion or belief that other people have. It's a wrestle and process on doing the right thing for Christ.
I do think some factors play a role in the situation’s. There are a lot of churches that are not established with mature and older Saints that could really help the quality of learning and teaching in the church.
The confusion is because the term "Church" is used instead of "Ekklesia" God was talking about the people, not the building. So, let's be clear. The building is a liberty. We are only instructed to gather.
Wrong the question everyone should ask themselves Are you in the RIGHT church?
Good point.
Amen!!!! Some people think going to any church will do..
I usually agree with you Corey almost 100%, but the problem with this message is that you’ve lumped everyone together as if everyone has the same reasoning concerning the church. It’s true, we shouldn’t neglect the gathering, but what needs to be understood is that every church ain’t God’s church just because they slap a Christian title on it. It is important to not gather under the wrong covering just to make yourself feel like you’ve fulfilled your so called “Christian” obligation. Unless I missed something, Jesus did not come into the world to create religion. That’s a man made concept that unfortunately got corrupted in many denominations as time went on. Furthermore, I’m called a Christian because that’s the religion that’s been associated with me by my upbringing. However, I’m a believer in Jesus Christ because I believe he died for my sins and he is my Lord and Savor. And let me add this, if it wasn’t for some of your videos calling out many wolves in sheep’s clothing, I would’ve possibly been lead astray. I consider you one of the true followers of Christ because you stick to the scriptures. Just be careful to not group everyone together like the world does everyone who calls themselves a Christian.
Jesus himself was religious! He was a devout Jew! Teaching people that we shouldn't be "religious" is actually a trick of the enemy. God has statutes, precepts if you will that we are expected to follow. That's not a bad thing. I think what's bad is false teachers and fake requirements
Nobody is attacking the church. We just want the church to do better.
If you do better individually, then the church will be better. Nobody wants to focus on themselves as an individual
People are continually attacking the church!
That's why you need to go. If enough mature people are there, that helps.
The longer we live, the more we(the church) need each other. Jesus is our foundation. Help us lord.
Yes I Am Christian & Yes I Love Church .
16:09 this man definitely said my phrase during a sermon. I'm vindicated.
Thank you for dealing with the ISSUES and not the vessels. I've been waiting to talk with you been catching you on Facebook. You do have insightful teachings.
What it boils down to? Is the people who have been told they are living in sin, or the people who are sinning but don’t believe it should be called out as sin… those are the people who hate the church.
Yes there’s hypocrisy in the church, however we should be improving as the body of Christ, not being comfortable in our brokenness.. A renewed mind must be accomplished daily.. I’m not the man that I was a year ago, and I’m not the hypocrite I was a year ago, we as the body must continue to grow.
In EVERY Church man will fail you, Forgive,,, GOD'S WORD will NEVER FAIL..
KEEP Searching for a Solid Bible believing Church. Buy, in this 🌎 it will never be perfect.
Guaranteed
I have a hard time finding a good church that's solid teaching and believes in helping people they good at preaching and hyping people but not aactually showing the love by walking it out
Very good teaching. Let’s grow well!
BIG UPS TO 2819!!!🔥
Raising an army in Jesus name 🙏🏿
Great points to remind us what we should do! Amen! ❤
Powerful and convicting
The church as a whole, and I mean here in America from what I have seen has been lax on correcting itself. But Bishop wooden cannot compare the church to the world. Pain in church is much greater than pain form the world. Getting stabbed was easier than leaving my church for the sake of bad doctrine.
Paul telling the church to put the man out implies actually approaching the man about the situation. It seems the church today is not into confronting problems head on (wink wink).
We don't have to defend the church, we have to defend the word of God.
I love church i just struggle finding one that doesnt have a female pastor or 30 people speaking in "tounges" im hurtin to get plugged into the body, confused on the denominations and their beliefs i know im not pentecostal or charismatic or catholic so what does that leave me?
Go to a church where they do expository preaching. This will ensure that they teach God's Word, have a high view of scripture and won't allow the extra foolishness.
@MinLeeMajors I appreciate that alot brother. I honestly didn't know of that style and that's most definitely what I need, I need to get equipped with sound teaching to reach family and friends before it's too late. Thank you for your time brother God bless
Pray, then, do an internet search for a church finder. Before you go, make sure you read their statement of faith and, if possible, listen to a couple of sermons from the men that actually pastor there. Also, if doctrine is important to you, don't let the majority race of the church hinder your search.
Yes! Same here. It is a struggle to find one that’s not teaching false doctrines, have false teachers, trying to convince you certain sins aren’t wrong, as in women pastors etc. women dressed so inappropriately. I want an old time good church.
You probably need to go to the smallest town closest to you and find the one small Baptist church. There will be like 35 people there. Usually just a couple of Hymnals and the Word of God. It's not a guarantee, but it's a pretty good start.
You're some type of reformed. Do you want a church with a big governmental system like Presbyterians or do you want the individual church to be able to decide go do whatever they want to do. High church or low church. Ones not better than the other, just depends what you're looking for
Spot on!! This entire video.
I think there’s too much anonymity in some churches, so people don’t have a vested interest. They attend as a bystander or visitor and that makes it laborious and trite. And I also think some people are triggered due to things that happened when they were kids. But at some point in your walk you have to let down your defenses and become involved and have a vested interest instead of just being a guest or bystander. Also, there are a lot of people who simply don’t like “people” so their comfort zone is to be to themselves but that is detrimental. So we have to trust that God knows what He’s doing and that He knows what’s best for us.
@brijenell0201 I can definitely empathize with you. But yeah at some point you’ll be better off stepping out of your comfort zone. We all need each other. Being out here in this treacherous world without the edification, camaraderie and accountability that other believers offer is not healthy for us.
I can't wait to see this one!
Do you know the name of the sermon?
Okay, Pastor Corey. This was a great lesson and reminder. I have a church home that I love. I love my church. I may subscribe to this channel again😂 More teachings like this❤
That was excellent!
We have the same problems here in Namibia (Africa)... Very hard to find a true biblically grounded church.... Even with thhe traditional churches such as the Evangelical Lutheran Church that I am a part of lacks expository teaching from the Bible. They rather use textbooks to preach from every Sunday, ordination of female pastors and elders are rampant, infant baptisms etcetera etcetera....
First time commenting, when you say the "rituals of the Church" what are those? There are the two sacraments for the New Testament Church (communion and baptism), some say 3 (the washing of feet) if I'm not mistaken.
Mark 7:7-8 gives an example of the "tradition of men". Do we have a tendency to "hyper-define" what constitues the Church other than a gathering of the fellowship of believers together? I'm a member of a local body, but I've also been in a place where about 5 people worshipped in a home...did this for 4 years and i can say it was the most joyful gathering I've ever experienced. What constitutes a biblical church?
CHURCH IS NOT A BUILDING IT IS PEOPLE WHO DO MEET TOGETHER OR CALL ON EACH OTHER WHEN WE NEED PRAYER OR HELP TO DO NEEDS
The function of the church is to worship God first and then serve one another.
Amen and amen Brother Corey 🙏🏽 🙌🏽 ❤️
One of my best friends and I were talking this earlier today.
That’s a bad analogy some stranger hurts me is a much different story than someone who you trusted brothers and sisters in Christ
But it's a person who is not perfect so why do we expect differently? Sometimes we have to look in the mirror
@@pearl0818 we do need to look in the mirror, but it doesn’t negate being hurt. we should learn from every experience. Giving grace as needed yet being accountable.
@dcole2133 I don't disagree with this statement. I just want us to know that disappointment does happen in the church, even among believers. We cannot let their paralyze our witness, fellowship, and walk
@@pearl0818 being butthurt is different than a Christian damaging you I can be butthurt all day but when a spiritual leader is unbiblical that’s a whole different kettle of fish.
My sister was almost raped in church, i was beat up in church, i made fun of in church, bullied in church, and abused in church (not sexually) now, we see non doctrinal teachings in church, so my question is, if those churches are only availbe to the poor what are they to do?
I'm sorry those things happened sir but not all churches are like that. My suggestion is you keep searching. Drop your city and see if one of our brothers or sisters can recommend a church that is sound in doctrine with GODLY men and women.
@@beingsaved556 that was years ago, but this is still happening to poor people, with few options, and no mode of transportation. For years this and other things made me hate God. How could he allow that to happen in his place of worship. This channel post videos exposing these corrupt pastors and churches and the solution to those being raped, molested. Assualted is to love the church? I tell you, several things happened to me outside of the church rather you believe it or not is this. 1. In underneath extreme doubt i begged and asked jesus to prove to me that he was indeed god, he showed me a miracle. 2. I asked to recieve the holy spirit. He sent it to me and i tell you, the germs, bacteria, everything that lives in me celebrated, i felt a love and power that never ends, but i was convicted of EVERY SIN I DID, it was like someone flipping a picture book, or fast slides, i remembered everything. The things i tried to hide was uncovered, the things i forgot about he reminded me, i was begging for forgiveness, (this is the short story) afterwards i was left mumbling holy, holy, holy. I felt a hug or embrace that i never felt. Now i feel secure. The 3rd thing is i was awaken at 3ish i passed out on my way to the bathroom, again i passed out and hit my head against the bed and awoken my wife. It frighten her. I layed in the bed with her and she said my heart was beating funny. I didnt believe her, because i couldnt feel anything. Later i felt it, i was worried.
I attempted to dial 911, but a voice said you will survive this. Then i heard a voice say make all paths straight for the lord, jesus spoke to me and gave me a message. 2 personal and one public he told me to tell the world. Afterwards he gave me a glimpse of whats to come.
Now i say all these things because i was a blasphemer, pegan, aethiest, agnostic sinful man that only used jesus as a granter of wishes. After he did that i tossed him aside. Now, im a believer. All of this happened to me outside the church. I tell my testimony to others and they ask me how? Idk, but if i stayed in church non of this would of happened. I live in atlanta with some of the worst churches. Thousands are being mislead. That's why i asked the question. I personally feel that people can use channels like these to learn more about god than going to a church. No every church isnt like the ones i went to, but everyone doesnt have that option. Jesus is the church. He's still in the business of coming to you. He did it for me.
To me, i will say those who hate the church are those who know they are sinners and constantly attending church but never following the teachings of the scriptures.
What about false prophets, preaching for money profits, and never preaching truth? Do they also hate the church?
Great video!
I have a problem with the church, but it's "not the church" it's people in the church! I understand that people are people, and we've all fallen short before the glory of God. Nobody is perfect, but inside the church, it seems to be every church! We have these "clicks" of people who run the church and run people off from the church by hurting people. I go to church because I know what the Father has told me. I haven't found one church that doesn't have "clicks."
The church building is where believers join together to worship the Lord and share in our common faith. So all the “church is not a building” is asinine.
Jesus is half brother Jude says that we are to defend the faith
The life that I live in the flesh I live by the faith of theson of God, who loves me and died for me
I think there are two different churches ... but the real church is without walls. If a church is operating under a false doctrine and teaching lukewarm-ism... I cant submit my family to that way of living.
Also, if ministries have manipulated you, used you, gossiped about you, spoke tongues babbling when you dont agree with babbling, while you continued to be faithful... at some point, you have to draw the line.
Now, my church is all who do the will of the father.... even the stumbeling ones. But I cannot subject my family to false doctrine.
He said the structure is wack and he’s correct.
Well, there are a lot of people in the church that are not members of the ecclesia.
Please please please 🙏🏼 make a video of pastors Jimmy Evans and his buddy Mark Hitchcock! I remember watching both of them at a time in my life when I was coming back to Christ and right when I got near the end of the video where they were going to reveal something to me, both said if you want to hear what to do or to learn more, pay us money to join our site! I was so disheartened!
It is absolutely disgusting that both of those men each are worth more than $50 million plus apiece!!! That’s a lot of money.
They are here on a FREE PLATFORM and they are pimping and stealing from the poor. It is the best way I can put it because it’s true.
Nobody picks up on these lower or mid level preachers, but these men are greedy awful men, and it really broke my heart to know I had to pay to get the answer to what they were telling us about Christ !
God bless! ♥️🙏🏼
But also assembling with other believers don’t necessarily mean you have to be in a building as long as you are gathered together with other believers. So when Paul was admonishing the believers gather and encourage one another seeing the time fast approaching was every opportunity you can to meet and gather do so cause the time is coming when you will not be able to do so and we should but not to be there all the time is not a sign you hate God or the things of God especially if you are maintaining that private time of fellowship, worship and study of the word. Most of the time these corrections are motivated by number of attendance and money.
Some people may not have a physical building in the beginning and choose to gather together at someone's home and have Bible study and service which is a great thing and that's okay but the video is referring to ppl who say they having church at home by themselves or say they hate church but will go everywhere else....the reality is Biblically we are to gather and that is what Christ desires because it builds us up
We are the body of Christ the ecclesia and as long as a preacher is preaching the true Gospel then there should not be a problem
The Church according to the scripture is a group of believers and there is no reason they cannot meet on a virtual platform such as the internet. There is no such thing as the church is situated at such and such address. For example , we can enjoy and be a member of John McArthur's church but live in Africa! Amen 🙏
But the gathering can happen anywhere, it’s not about an organized group of people in a building. It’s about love and unity in the faith. We cannot fellowship with apostates, idol worshippers , etc. I I Timothy chapter 3; Ephesians 5:11. We have a right to fellowship in the beauty of holiness and authenticity, it’s not about perfection, but it is about being apart of followers of Christ who indeed serve God., and not just using a title as a cloak . I will not set with corrupt leaders in the Church.
These are all very good examples!
However, I need help. I am not learning or growing at my local church. I love Upper Room but it’s a 4 hour drive away. Can't do it ever week, but, we did travel down there last weekend and met him in person! He “preaches”! The service was just as spirit filled and word based as ever. I don't get that at my home church. What do I do then? Online is the best I get right now.
If denominations are THE CHURCH then that would make the Roman Catholic Church THE CHURCH 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Does this justfy homosexuality in the church? Matthew 13:28-30 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.
He forgot restaurant hurt. If I had a nickel for every restaurant that got a bad review.
💯 🎯❤️🔥 👏🙌
You got that right I have been hurt many times, I learned 💯 and that made me stronger 💪
If the church is preaching false teachings then hate it. Amen.
I disagree!!! I AM a Church... 24/7 now, and til the end... Amen!!! GLORY to God!!!
Wrong we are the living stones there is no such thing as church.
When we look at early church fathers a lot of the early ones kept loyalty to observing this sabbath and the feast and the commandments and the calendar, because they all wrote that the observation of the day that the Jews sacrifice their lab should be observed all the bishops of Asia including Polycrate stood their ground the Romans made bishops what were modern-day popes changing and compromising he consisted that we follow God rather than man and their traditions would Colossians says of Paul saying, we observe Nisan 14 we dont add we dont take, he says to the Pope the Passover day cannot be changed by humans, just like the pope now what they were doing was changing the Resurrection Day to Sunday when in fact it was Sabbath, they said you Jews can keep your days we're going to make our own calendar and our own days because again humanity does not want to obey because the devil eats on carnal flesh.
And just like with the church today they don't want anything to do with Israel but they want to call themselves Israel we are the house of Israel those who truly follow, so this is what he wrote for in Asia great lights have fallen asleep that will rise again on the day of the Lord's coming when he shall come with Glory from heaven and he will seek out all of his saints whose lights are lit, unlike some of the leaders today these men of God knew these saints were all awaiting the resurrection and despite their defense just like it says they excommunicated John.
Notice John specifically addressed Cappadocia Asia Minor churches but not Rome Rome was never mentioned? Because the West wanted to do their own thing....
Another thing that's not talked about but is in your Bible and we completely miss the church kicked out the apostle John so were all the Jews and all the Gentiles that wanted all the Jews, 3rd John 1:9-10 I wrote to the church, ( Assembly not church ) but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us. Not satisfied with that, he even refuses to welcome other believers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church. ( Assembly ekklésia kaleo )
90 ad is when he wrote Revelation and the gospel, 20 years after the temple 70 Jesus died 30 ad it's been 60 years, then the temple destroyed in the scattering of the Jews Zachariah 13:7, Ezekiel 4, Daniel 9, Luke 21, the new Gentiles that are coming in are taking over the synagogues, and they want to be the boss because we want to do what we want to do.
Because these people were bringing Plato, Socrates, philosophy, and they didn't know anything about the Torah or Hebrew.
Luke 22:15-19 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat (this Passover) with you before I suffer. ( For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”) because even heaven celebrates it !!! 19And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, (“This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”)
Notice it don't say Easter! When is the time frame when is this happening? Nisan 14 Leviticus 23 tells you.. when he said do this in remembrance of me what was he talking about? He was talking about the Passover seder they were preparing the Passover!!!! So why do you people call it the last supper when it wasn't the last? You have a problem here. It was the Passover Seder, and the Passover seder is always done on Nisan 14! Going into 15 which is the Feast of unleavened bread, which is a Sabbath even if it's not Saturday, and Jesus Yeshua said I want you to do this in remembrance of me!!! What is the this? What does he want you to keep remembering Malachi the law Passover!!! It's not Easter!! This is Passover when you do the Passover Seder do this and remembrance of my death remember my death! And he was not talking about communion!!! Do this so every Passover the day of my death I want you to always honor it and do you honor it? No. So which day is that it's not the end of March it's the end of April Nisan 14!!
Every Passover do that in remembrance of me and the New covenant that I made!!! it's not communion,
1 Corinthians 11: 24-25 and this is Paul commenting about that day, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, ( “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”) in the same way, (after supper he took the cup,) saying, (“This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” ) there's actually four cups the four cups of wine at the Passover Seder, Christians call it the last supper because they don't want to keep the Passover because it's supposedly Jewish but it actually it's God's. They want to replace Israel sadly.
What if my birthday is April and you want to celebrate it in November because that's how you feel is it right? No you don't have no right Roman says you were dead in your trespasses you don't have any rights, it's all Grace given to you!!! So if my birthday is in April why do you celebrate it in November? Because you want to right?
John 18:39 Pilate says, But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the ( Passover. ) Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?” what did they say? 40They shouted back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.
Bar means son son of the Father and Jesus was son of the father, and that's who they want it released,
John 19:26-27 26When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
What happened? John took Mary into his own home, and when persecution came they both moved to Ephesus, Leviticus 23:5-6 ( The LORD’s Passover ) begins at twilight on the (fourteenth day of the first month.) I thought it was the Jewish Passover??? Notice no Easter. Does this say the Jewish Passover? No it says the Lord's Passover right? This wasn't January or March was it this was when April!!! On the ( fifteenth day of that month ) ( the LORD’s Festival of Unleavened Bread begins;) for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast notice again the Lord's feast?
Exodus 12:1-2 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, This month is to be for you the ( first month, ) the (first month of your year)
Okay the new month always begins with the new moon insert April 8th!! The new moon!!! !!! The middle of the month was always the full moon 🌕! and Passover was at the full moon! Tabernacles is at the full moon! Rosh Hashanah is at the new moon! Because the Hebrew word for moon is also the Hebrew word for throne every Passover has to be at the full moon!! And God's throne is being set at the full moon because it says in Zachariah when he returns he returns at the Feast of Tabernacles which is the full moon!!! Zechariah 14 and every nation will have to go to Israel to celebrate the Feast of booths at the full moon or their land will be cursed! And this is when he sits on his throne. Isaiah when there's a new moon and he's telling everybody to keep it!!!! The new moon is important!!
Acts 12:4 when Harold apprehended put him in prison but when ? 4After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial (after the Passover.) not Easter,
John 18:39 (But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time) of the ( Passover.) Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?”
Now let's look at it in the Greek and Hebrew below the translated in Greek is ( Pascha ) that's translated as Passover, and it comes from the Hebrew word ( Pesach ) so the Hebrew came first and the Hebrew was Passover and then they translated it to the Greek which is Pascha, again no Easter right? In English we have the Paschal Lamb, okay.
Acts 12:4 After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the (Passover.) ( Pascha ) Hebrew ( Pasach ) still no Easter? So how do the translators translate it as Easter??? How can they translate this as Passover in one verse then all of a sudden it's Easter ? Because the people teaching otherwise better have scripture for scripture to prove their point if not it's heresy isn't it?
It's idolatry not only to worship a false god, but the true God/Yahweh in a false manner.
It is Satan who changes the LORD's Appointed Times, "He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws" (Daniel 7:25).
Does it make any sense, the Father would command these Feasts forever (enforce them in the future Millennial Kingdom on pain of plague) and not have them binding today? Most today accept and cherish the enemy's substitute worship days and instructions.
Only in the Scriptures can we find the truth about Yahweh's will for worship. The Appointed Times are all about the Messiah. The Spring Feasts have been fulfilled in Yeshua's first coming. Yahweh's plan for the feasts is to fulfill all of His great promises and the Fall Feasts have yet to be fulfilled!
Paul condemned the new believers in Galatians for continuing to observe "days and months and seasons and years. I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain" (Galatians 4:10-11). Notice, days, months, seasons and years are names for pagan feasts. Contrast that with Colossians 2:16, "Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day." These are the names for His Appointed Times.
Romans 14:5 is about "personal convictions" and "personal scruples" but it's in the context of Old Testament. The Romans 14:5 verse was written to be fully convinced in their own minds about whether to observe EXTRA FAST DAYS or not. Even the Jews themselves had different convictions about the observance of those days, because those fast days were never commanded by the LORD. The "days" Paul was referring to were the traditional fast days mentioned in Zechariah 7:5-6, not commanded days.
Prepare now to celebrate the LORD's Spring Feasts!
verse that everybody uses to shove in their theologies Malachi 4:4 remember the law of my servant Moses the statues and rules that I commanded him at Horeb ( For all of Israel ) aren't you grafted into Israel? Jesus said if you love me keep my commandments we are of Israel.
So then this goes into the term ecclesia which is the body. Not no church there is never a word church it is assembly solemn assembly.
Acts 15:20 was the starting point for new Gentile believers, who did not know the law. They would hear the Law preached every Sabbath and learn how to walk in the LORD's ways.
Acts 15:21 explains, "For the law of Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on EVERY SABBATH.”
Acts 15:22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole ( Assembly ), to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers,
Greek work kaleo means ekklésia ( assembly or call ) nothing else
I tried saying the term "" church """ was made up by the Roman Catholic pagan Church
2 Timothy 1:9 9He has saved us and (called us to a holy life) ( kaleo ) ( Klesis invitation ) -not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time
We are Called the assembly!!!!! Now Leviticus 23:1 Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘These are my appointed festivals, the appointed festivals of the LORD, which you are to proclaim as (sacred assemblies.) here again ( Mo'edims ) appointed times Daniel 8 as well as congregation synagogue assemblies. Biblical hermeneutics and proper exegesis.
Now let's go deeper who are we?
Matthew 16:18
The spiritual house God is building is designed for His glory, and we, the living stones, glorify the Lord in all we do (1 Corinthians 10:31).
Hebrews 2:12 12saying,
“I will tell of your name to my brothers;
in the midst (of the congregation ) ( ekklésia) I will sing your praise
The Lord promised that His covenant people would someday be gathered: “I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them” (Jeremiah 23:3).
Daniel 9 the Messiah shall strengthen a already existing covenant the Mosaic covenant to Graft in the gentiles Romans 9 Romans 11 .
The two witnesses are the whole house of Israel Ezekiel 37 Zachariah Romans 9 Romans 11 Revelation 1 Jesus says if you love me keep my commandments that's the feast because Daniel 7:25 this man shall change times and the law well he tells you to keep it the feast all of this.
So if we are gathering for the feast like we are commanded to then we would be gathering in Israel which is the whole house of Israel in his hand everything is in place for the gathering of the whole house of Israel...
Revelation 12 the Beast overcomes those who keep the commandments of God and the testimonies of Jesus this is one vision of two groups of people combined as one... He did say that he would regather the whole house of Israel the Bible says what it says Revelation 12 this is why the two witnesses the bodies of people read the ending of Revelation 10 multitudes from every tribe of every nation the 144,000 the great multitude out of the tribulation who washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb who did not love their life even unto death.
Jesus says to present your bodies as a living sacrifice just like he did the sacrifice of the Lamb just like Paul just like every one of them
The church = ekklésia is the body of believers and ( Bride ) who confess Christ & Jews Jeremiah 11 ( some branches ) were burned off so that you gentiles can be part takers of the 🫚🇮🇱 again house of Israel Ezekiel 37 this is where PAUL taught from because the new testament was not even written here because they were literally writing it. Jesus tells you if you love me keep my commandments we are of Israel not America. So let us dive deeper.
Romans the 🫚🇮🇱 who supports you burned off some to graph you into Israel so do not be arrogant of that zechariah you have the olive trees because Jeremiah tells you a whole nation can be a olive 🌲🌴.
Revelation 1 Revelation 11 same thing cf Revelation 7 the 144,000 Whole house of Israel 🫚🇮🇱.
These are the ones who ( keep the commandments of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ ) who stand before the Lord God on Earth. To be the 🕯️ lamp stands to the world. To be the witnesses that he is God
. ( Jesus says If you love me keep my commandments)
his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength” (Revelation 1:16 …
The Torah is a Sharpe two edge sword 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. Logos is Torah. That was in the beginning.
Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten.
( Fig trees )
Israel is THE FIG 🌲🌴.
Luke 21 learn the parable of the ( Fig TREES ) plural is the nations of the world. Nothing else nothing less. When you see that they're ripe know the time is short.
You have the menorah ( JESUS ) THE 🕯️ of the 🌎 giving oil to two trees. Is the ( Root who supports you ). And never forget it 🫚🇮🇱
YES AND WE DO TALK WITH OTHER CHRISTIANS WHO ARE THE CHURCH NOT A FALSE CHURCH BUILDING
I disagree too, and stand on the truth of God in JesusChrist, who made flesh and blood the church of God, and Satan trying to put in humankinds heart that it is a building, or a building Christians worship in!
I understand if everyone in the building was like minded, but everybody in the worship building or building for pagan worship, isn't on one accord!!!!!
People think God, Almighty God in JesusChrist made a building a church, and God showed us the truth through JesusChrist, who was the church of God also, that made disciples, and made them to be the church of God......
That's why Jesus told us, many are called, but only few are chosen.
Pressure is from satan. Peace is from God. Churches have moved away from sound doctrine. They mix worldly things into their sermons. I am endeavoring to get closer to God while the church is moving away from God. It's very painful. Don't bully me from the pulpit.
That depends on what you mean by bully.. Are preachers attacking you from the pulpit personally. Or you just simply disagree with the message given to all?
What software do you use?

Jesus said in Revelation chapters 2&3. He sets forth parameters, guidelines if you will, threatening to remove their candle stick unless...
You don't love unconditionally. Want to differ, take it up with Jesus. All of God covenants with Israel hinged on one word, " if" . Check it out for yourself.
FYI, we need to know the difference between the CHURCH (the body), and the church house ( building). The body is in tact being assembled as God and his Sons eyes scan the earth choosing those he wants. The majority of these church houses ARE. A. MESS.
If I could find a church I can trust to teach the Bible correctly. How do you find one. Does online church count?
My issue exactly!
Church is not the building, it's the people.
If you live every day like the church, you're always in it.

All facts.
I need a church but it’s full of bad music club music preachers that preach on movies instead of the word of God 😩 I want a good church
Ok so I left a church because I was under the leadership of a woman pastor and I didn’t want to leave because I’ve been there for years. So are you telling I should have stayed? Should I still defend them as part of the church? I love the Lord and the church too.
When it comes to your church home, your cause or reason for staying should never be the people or the environment, it should always be a decision YOU and you alone feel led to make. Speaking from experience, I use to attend a church with my girlfriend that I had been going to for years, I was an usher there and a lot of my family members attended that church. After a while however, my girlfriend and I both realized that we feel stagnant (spiritually) there and that it was time to leave. I felt guilty as all heck because I felt I had an obligation to be where my family was, and to be a servant. Long story short, we started attending another church where every week, we feel we're learning something that's allowing us BOTH to grow in our spiritual walks. Ultimately, as I said, what you feel the Lord is calling you should be the primary motivation behind why you leave or stay at a church and as you grow spiritually, you'll develop a level of discernment that will show you whether you should stick by certain people, or whether you should take a step back and let the Lord work.
Also, the Bible specifically mentions in 1st Timothy 2:12, and 1st Corinthians 14:34-35 that women shouldn't exercise authority over men and shouldn't speak in church (i.e. they shouldn't be preachers) so that IS something to rebuke because even if she was an amazing preacher, she is defying scripture in doing so. In situations like that, one must defend the person always because as a body of believers we should love each other above all, BUT the action (or lack of) should be rebuked. I hope these messages help you in your situation, and I pray your faith continues to grow each day.
There too many folks that love the church, BUT... dont love & worship the Lord properly!
Sounds Strange, huh?
When we look at early church fathers a lot of the early ones kept loyalty to observing this sabbath and the feast and the commandments and the calendar, because they all wrote that the observation of the day that the Jews sacrifice their lab should be observed all the bishops of Asia including Polycrate stood their ground the Romans made bishops what were modern-day popes changing and compromising he consisted that we follow God rather than man and their traditions would Colossians says of Paul saying, we observe Nisan 14 we dont add we dont take, he says to the Pope the Passover day cannot be changed by humans, just like the pope now what they were doing was changing the Resurrection Day to Sunday when in fact it was Sabbath, they said you Jews can keep your days we're going to make our own calendar and our own days because again humanity does not want to obey because the devil eats on carnal flesh.
And just like with the church today they don't want anything to do with Israel but they want to call themselves Israel we are the house of Israel those who truly follow, so this is what he wrote for in Asia great lights have fallen asleep that will rise again on the day of the Lord's coming when he shall come with Glory from heaven and he will seek out all of his saints whose lights are lit, unlike some of the leaders today these men of God knew these saints were all awaiting the resurrection and despite their defense just like it says they excommunicated John.
Notice John specifically addressed Cappadocia Asia Minor churches but not Rome Rome was never mentioned? Because the West wanted to do their own thing....
Another thing that's not talked about but is in your Bible and we completely miss the church kicked out the apostle John so were all the Jews and all the Gentiles that wanted all the Jews, 3rd John 1:9-10 I wrote to the church, ( Assembly not church ) but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us. Not satisfied with that, he even refuses to welcome other believers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church. ( Assembly ekklésia kaleo )
90 ad is when he wrote Revelation and the gospel, 20 years after the temple 70 Jesus died 30 ad it's been 60 years, then the temple destroyed in the scattering of the Jews Zachariah 13:7, Ezekiel 4, Daniel 9, Luke 21, the new Gentiles that are coming in are taking over the synagogues, and they want to be the boss because we want to do what we want to do.
Because these people were bringing Plato, Socrates, philosophy, and they didn't know anything about the Torah or Hebrew.
Luke 22:15-19 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat (this Passover) with you before I suffer. ( For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”) because even heaven celebrates it !!! 19And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, (“This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”)
Notice it don't say Easter! When is the time frame when is this happening? Nisan 14 Leviticus 23 tells you.. when he said do this in remembrance of me what was he talking about? He was talking about the Passover seder they were preparing the Passover!!!! So why do you people call it the last supper when it wasn't the last? You have a problem here. It was the Passover Seder, and the Passover seder is always done on Nisan 14! Going into 15 which is the Feast of unleavened bread, which is a Sabbath even if it's not Saturday, and Jesus Yeshua said I want you to do this in remembrance of me!!! What is the this? What does he want you to keep remembering Malachi the law Passover!!! It's not Easter!! This is Passover when you do the Passover Seder do this and remembrance of my death remember my death! And he was not talking about communion!!! Do this so every Passover the day of my death I want you to always honor it and do you honor it? No. So which day is that it's not the end of March it's the end of April Nisan 14!!
Every Passover do that in remembrance of me and the New covenant that I made!!! it's not communion,
1 Corinthians 11: 24-25 and this is Paul commenting about that day, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, ( “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”) in the same way, (after supper he took the cup,) saying, (“This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” ) there's actually four cups the four cups of wine at the Passover Seder, Christians call it the last supper because they don't want to keep the Passover because it's supposedly Jewish but it actually it's God's. They want to replace Israel sadly.
What if my birthday is April and you want to celebrate it in November because that's how you feel is it right? No you don't have no right Roman says you were dead in your trespasses you don't have any rights, it's all Grace given to you!!! So if my birthday is in April why do you celebrate it in November? Because you want to right?
John 18:39 Pilate says, But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the ( Passover. ) Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?” what did they say? 40They shouted back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.
Bar means son son of the Father and Jesus was son of the father, and that's who they want it released,
John 19:26-27 26When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
What happened? John took Mary into his own home, and when persecution came they both moved to Ephesus, Leviticus 23:5-6 ( The LORD’s Passover ) begins at twilight on the (fourteenth day of the first month.) I thought it was the Jewish Passover??? Notice no Easter. Does this say the Jewish Passover? No it says the Lord's Passover right? This wasn't January or March was it this was when April!!! On the ( fifteenth day of that month ) ( the LORD’s Festival of Unleavened Bread begins;) for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast notice again the Lord's feast?
Exodus 12:1-2 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, This month is to be for you the ( first month, ) the (first month of your year)
Okay the new month always begins with the new moon insert April 8th!! The new moon!!! !!! The middle of the month was always the full moon 🌕! and Passover was at the full moon! Tabernacles is at the full moon! Rosh Hashanah is at the new moon! Because the Hebrew word for moon is also the Hebrew word for throne every Passover has to be at the full moon!! And God's throne is being set at the full moon because it says in Zachariah when he returns he returns at the Feast of Tabernacles which is the full moon!!! Zechariah 14 and every nation will have to go to Israel to celebrate the Feast of booths at the full moon or their land will be cursed! And this is when he sits on his throne. Isaiah when there's a new moon and he's telling everybody to keep it!!!! The new moon is important!!
Acts 12:4 when Harold apprehended put him in prison but when ? 4After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial (after the Passover.) not Easter,
John 18:39 (But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time) of the ( Passover.) Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?”
Now let's look at it in the Greek and Hebrew below the translated in Greek is ( Pascha ) that's translated as Passover, and it comes from the Hebrew word ( Pesach ) so the Hebrew came first and the Hebrew was Passover and then they translated it to the Greek which is Pascha, again no Easter right? In English we have the Paschal Lamb, okay.
Acts 12:4 After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the (Passover.) ( Pascha ) Hebrew ( Pasach ) still no Easter? So how do the translators translate it as Easter??? How can they translate this as Passover in one verse then all of a sudden it's Easter ? Because the people teaching otherwise better have scripture for scripture to prove their point if not it's heresy isn't it?
Easter..csme from Esther
The book isnt called
Hadassah
Esther 2:7
Sometime, if you get time, why are the black preachers with great P.A's. yelling? What is that purpose?
Amen brother Corey
i need some help from believers right now. Please don’t use you opinion only but use versus to back it up. Me and my friend were debating on if you are actively living in sun will you go to heaven. I used Gay people as an example, For those actively living there life that way, can they go to heaven? I wonder this because it’s not like they sin and repent but instead are basically saying we don’t care God let me live my life, So i don’t think they go to heaven but my friend does.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (ESV): 9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
Hebrews 10:26-27 (ESV): 26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.
Romans 6:1-2 (ESV): 6 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
It sounds as if your friend doesn’t understand the Gospel or what salvation actually is.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV): 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
@@HisPrincessa626Thankyou for the help. From what you gave me i see that someone who lives in sin will not go to heaven. But someone who once lived in sin and now repents can go to heaven.
Amen🕊️
I don't agree with religion and I trust James wasn't promoting it either. A Followers of GOD we have a " CULTURE" not a religion which is far different. We are called the Family of GOD and at no time do the Apostles or Jesus speak to us concerning religion. Absolutely no scripture reflects any "religious" attitudes. We do have what we do as a Lifestyle and not as you said religiously. Why do I say this? Scripture will answer " for in him we live and move and have our being". And no one will tell me GOD is religious.
Jesus said we can worship anywhere as long as we worship in spirit and in truth. We are not confined to a church building.
As long as you with other saints and are accountable to one another. Always follow Jesus steps. He wasnt a solo act.
Church is the body of Christ not a building. You don't got to church you are the church. We need to stop focusing on going to church, and start being the church. Just because you are not in the building does not mean you forsake the assembly. People have church in homes. People take the gospel to those in the streets and Parks. I have to disagree. Organized religion is not the church just a bunch of Mens traditions and philosophies.
@brijenell0201 I will be praying for you . Maybe you can begin a group of like minded believers. Even if it's only 2 or 3 of you God is in the mist. I preach at some assemblies. But my primary focus is my home and community around me. How can we be effective for God's kingdom. If we keep hiding behind buildings. As Jesus says. We are the light of the world. Nobody lights a lamp and but is under a basket. We can't hide out light.
When people use the word religion their is a certain meaning behind it they are trying to convey. Of course we should love the good religion, Christianity and the community we are called to have according to the bible. But a lot of people say religion and mean how people will look down upon others, look down their nose at them, people who are up tight and cant have fun. A good primary example could be Catholicism where all that matters is rules. Religion that says sex is bad and if you enjoy it your sinning. Or course we should hold each other accountable as christians and set standards in the community, but that is what most people mean when they say they are anti religion. But truly being christian and going to church is in fact religion, its just taken a different connotation in recent times
This is the very first time I saw a video where you wasn't criticizing the pastor.
It's funny cause after I listened to the whole video I realized you still had criticism for people😂😂😂😂 stay true to your core brotha ✊
